Big Mom reaffirms her status as a frightening individual with a ton of knowledge.
 
My least favorite trope is tragic and avoidable misunderstandings, so I really hope this doesn't turn out like it looks like it is.

Also, no need to be upset about them all falling asleep: The monkey already saw the samurai and would have returned to tell the other Minks even if the "adults" managed to stop the samurai.
Fair point.

And I agree, so I suppose it all depends on why Kinemon and his buddies choose Zou as a destination in the first place beyond anything safety related.

It definitely seems like we're about to get a misunderstanding regarding their whole mission.

Question with spoilers:
Hearts pirates where calling Law "rude" because he wanted to talk with Luffy alone? I don't know if the translation is really bad, or if I missed something.

the whole samurai thing will be a red herring and the minks after the initial shock will have no ill feelings towards the samurais

You don't have to tag that.

I'm guessing they were calling Law rude because he interrupted Luffy and they didn't individually introduce themselves.

It's a gag, they were introduced in grandiose fashion, poses and all, Luffy said "Yo!" and then they were summarily ignored completely. Nothing wrong with the translation.

Just in case somebody has not read it yet, haha. I know is nothing important, but well.

Thanks for the answers. It does not seem to be clear if they were calling "rude" to Luffy or Law. Probably that's Oda's mistake. Let's see if it gets more clear in the anime.

It was to Law, who just introduced them and turned his back to talk to Luffy.
 
Man this story is all over the place right now. I'm getting dizzy.

Oh Zoro we all know you care. Don't hide it. Lol

He's kind of a jerk for still telling luffy to leave sanji alone to deal with this, especially after hearing that
sanji's loved ones could be killed if he doesn't attend the wedding.
. I think even back with CP9 he told the crew to leave robin alone after she left the crew, and it turns out there was more to her story of leaving, similar to sanji. Zoro can be such an idiot sometimes.

I think it's also funny because some people have been waiting for a formal introduction to the Heart Pirates among the fanbase for a long time. El oh el Oda

Setup for the eventual Sanji rescue and possible fast escape from Zou with our resident Samurai showing up.

Zoro, I think, has the best intentions with his comments and reasoning as First Mate. Going after Sanji (and Robin) put the crew at a significantly higher risk given their current situation. While it does come off as blunt, this is Luffy walking directly into the Lion's Den for a 3rd time. I'm sure Zoro would have had the same opinion when Luffy decided to head directly into Impel Down.

While he knows Luffy is both special and a special kind of stupid, things have generally worked out for the crew even after some of Luffy's more brash decisions. I'm sure he's in a similar role now as Rayleigh was after first meeting and sailing with Roger.
 
Adults can't pull all-nighters like youngsters can. Franky, Brook and Robin are too old. lol


Personally I think something happened last night which lead to the three of them falling asleep. Sleeping gas from an enemy raid?

I'd be worried about the crew splitting up again if I didn't know for sure it was just a bluff from Oda. But man how rotten would that be? I suppose if it had to happen at least Sanji and Jinbe would be at Luffy's destination.

This chapter had me laughing hard. Luffy being Luffy and Pekoms reacting to Luffy and me literally lol'ing. Cat Viper is cool but I'm not quite as into his antics that much.

So much to talk about within this chapter. Big Mom sounds like a serious threat and her relationship with the Straw Hat's couldn't be more complex. How are people feeling about how she'll be tackled after this chapter? Full on saga boss drag out fight? Or a new frienemy down the line.

I'm still holding out the possibility that between Caesar and Shirahoshi the Mama Pirates and the Animal Kingdom Pirates will have a major scuffle with each other. What ever happens with Mom's confrontation I think there is just about no way for Jinbe to not be freed from his obligations after this.

Germa 66, G66? Looks mighty close to the demonic 666. Just one more little allusion to Sanji being some sort of devil. Not literally of course.

Or is it?

damn luffy

once he says, "I don't care about X"
further explanation of X gets cut off.....


also, law doesn't care about his crew? that they're just a horde of marysues....


there's actually a lot of talking points that can be picked at....
 
I feel like I'm still waiting for the twist on this one. I'd rather one crew member not go alone. It's not like it matters; The second Luffy or Zoro try to 'sneak in' they are going to blow their covers in minutes and turn it into a giant mess.

Right now, one crew member (Sanji) is sacrificing them self to save everyone because of dangerous consequences. I need something to make this different than Water 7 for me.

I really don't mind the idea of having a rescue crewmate arc where the one they need to get back isn't a woman

Big Mom wants Sanji as her underling because that means she gets Germa 66. With that she can take out a weakened Kaidou fleet, which could mean a temporary alliance with the Straw Hats. Could be that Lola will finally play a part in making at least a temporary alliance with Big Mom.

get some go again
i think luffy ends up going but gets captured and strikes a deal with big mom. she gives sanji back if he takes down kaido. she accepts because she thinks luffy will just end up getting killed but she hopes he at least does some damage to her rival. of course luffy ends up taking down kaido and then that brings on the stand off with big mom in the future. this might also mean that she allows jimbei to join luffy in his battle vs kaido.

This arc is probably going to be another save "..." arc. Like Ace. RIP Sanji.
Except instead of racing to stop an execution they're going to race to stop Sanji from consummating the marriage

the hardest trial the straw hats have yet to face: stopping Sanji from getting laid

Arlong park - > Fishmen island
Drum island - > Punk Hazard (This one is a stretch)
Alabasta - > Dressrosa
Skypiea - > Zou
Whole Cake Island - > Water 7/Ennies lobby?

Outside of "Alabasta - > Dressrosa" those are all really a stretch.
 
Its just like

800 chapters in and we have a rescue arc? We doing this can't separate because we are family thing again?

That was ironclad in Enies Lobby and even further after Shabaody..

It's too early to make that assumption, we have no idea what Sanji is up to. He could be trying to find a way out and by the time the Strawhats get there the island could be in chaos as a result of his actions.

You guys are making some pretty significant assumptions for how this will go, If only Luffy or him and one other person goes, then it's not like Enies Lobby anyway, hell it's been explicitly stated that's bad idea (by Luffy no less), and your assuming Sanji will even want to go through with this when it sounds more like he's doing anything he can to get out of it, but simply ignoring the invitation outright, sounds like a bad idea.

I would kinda like for the group to stay together, but luffy makes sense though. If everyone comes it will look like a attack is being made.

Luffy could just be a guest for a wedding being escorted by pekom

One Piece 815:

"Take me with you". And just like that Oda killed any hype I had for a Sanji rescue arc. I REALLY hope the other Straw Hats talk him into letting at least some of them go with him because I have absolutely no interest in another Luffy solo adventure/arc (plus Sanji). But since we don't know what's going to happen with the Samurai's showing up, I'll hold off criticizing the potential decision too much. I still can't see the Mink's becoming completely irrational with the Samurai's showing up/turning on the Straw Hats, but "something" has to happen at this point since Oda has made such a big deal about it.
 
It's hard to imagine the Kaido storyline progressing without Luffy. Also, who the fuck knows what's going to happen now that the Samurai are back.
Zou aint over yet.

From the looks of it they're all about to be chased out of Zou thanks to the samurai, so I doubt they'll all be split up.

We'll see but its likely the Minks will be cool with them if the Strawhats even bother to explain it to them.
 
Kinemon: "Hey guys! Have you seen Raizo?"

Necks snap towards the the sound of his voice.

Luffy: Shiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Things seem similar to Little Garden where there was a misunderstanding and Luffy fought Dorry. This time Luffy and co are kinda in shit because they knew all along that Kinemon was around since they arrived.

Right but they're also saviors of the entire island. It really depends on exactly how things go down.

Ugh i don't wanna deal with this!! Leta go get sanji! The strawhats should just fake like they dont know them lol.
 
A part of me is kind of expecting an eventual Luffy/Sanji scuffle to come during this arc. Zoro is giving Luffy the same kind of warning he gave when Ussopp left and if Luffy refuses to listen they may come to blows, even just a bit.
 
Just thought of something fun..

Luffys dad is the head of the revolutionary army

Sanjis dad is the head of an big name assasssin family ...

If we ever get a zoro family lineage watch they be a shogun at wano or something lol

True. I can see them getting some heat for being friendly to them though.

Saame. At least we will likely learn why they (the samurai) chose to come to Zou in the first place.

The Strawhats may be forgiven, but the samurai? They're fucked.
Yeup. Luffy and co will have to step in.
