I put the manga on the back a while ago, was losing interest. I'm probably going to continue soon but...

Has the 'Dressrosa' arc been concluded yet? Y/N

Yep. It's safe to come back now lol.

 

[Jigolo]

Spoiler

the samurais are dumb I want them to just leave already. Oda is already tracking the strawhats + law and these dudes (including momo) just seem like filler to me. They need to go

 

[IHaveIce]

It's unusually late for no chapter, the hell is going on?

If it was tommorrow then yeah but today would be super early

 

[Chariot]

TEARS FLOWING

Love, love, love these exact moments in One Piece.

 

[Oxn]

Chapter is out, its aweesome.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Chapter is out .
Also made respect for the mink tribe .

 

[Qurupeke]

This Raizou ninja should really be important if they did all that for him.

Also, break...

 

[Syntsui]

And this all takes place with the span of 10 minutes...Namek 2.0 lol


It's been manga Thursdays for about a year+ now.

I forgot today is Wednesday, lol.

 

[Nibel]

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Lmao that strawhat reaction!!
Also whole mink race for next strawhat man they are all just too awesome

 

[ffdgh]

Sums up my reaction.

And of all times to take a brake...

 

[GaimeGuy]

The Minks are amazing. holy shit

 

[Lunar15]

ODAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Kornflayx]

Awesome chapter.

Spoiler

So Kin'emon is a retainer for an important Wano family. And Raizo seems to be an important figure in story going forward.

Cat Viper is rising to the top of my fave list so fast. Awesome character

 

[GaimeGuy]

Sums up my reaction.

And of all times to take a brake...

"I was so shock my eyes popped out of my skull. But I have no eyes to pop out! YOHOHOHOHOHO"

 

[ffdgh]

The Minks are amazing. holy shit

Once again making all fishmen not named jimbei look like losers.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

CHILLS

 

[BatDan]

God damn it, the Minks are too awesome!
Even if it meant death, they protected their close friend.

Though this really makes me wonder what Kaidou wants with the Samurai and Wano.

 

[Blackhead]

GODA

 

[KageZero]

Well yeah, well played. Never expected that, like i got "frozen" for 2-3 sec when i read that. Besides that i can't add anything substantial.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Crazy chapter.

Retainer is just the job title for a Samurai who wasn't the boss.

 

[Jigolo]

That twist

 

[Syntsui]

Best chapter in a long time, I almost cried. The minks are amazing.

 

[HassanJamal]

Did anyone expect this? Blowing my mind right now.

 

[GG-Duo]

I love you Oda. Damn, that's a really great twist.

 

[NSESN]

Awesome chapter. Zou already is the best arc of 2nd part.

 

[BatDan]

Honestly this was so good, I don't mind that there's a break next week. Plus, we got a good streak going. It sounds like Oda is slowly getting back into the swing of things.

 

[PK Gaming]

Been a while since One Piece made me this emotional

I'm actually tearing up

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Did anyone expect this? Blowing my mind right now.

Total misdirection. Plain out in the open but he kept us thinking about other things.

 

[Majukun]

Did anyone expect this? Blowing my mind right now.

almost called it

said last week that the whole angst against the samurai would be a red herring on oda's part...and uspected that raizou was indeed on zou thanks to beriete' "de gozaru" speech pattern...what i didn't thought was that ALL the minks were in on th secret...which is actually better since like i pointed out last week,if raizou was on the island and bariete was keeping him hidden,both would have appeared as huge assholes

 

[convo]

Total misdirection. Plain out in the open but he kept us thinking about other things.

Yeah people were focusing on the possible conflict like the rest of the strawhats but the minks always showed they don't have any prejudice against people so i doubted that they would freak out when those guys arrived. But this was different from what i expected for sure, those two countries are really the best buds in the series.

 

[Nibel]

He does it again and again

 

[Jigolo]

FUCK, THAT TWIST

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this

 

[Lunar15]

Side note: I forgot how fucking huge kinemon is. Look at him compared to usopp in that one panel.

 

[cw_sasuke]

He looked badass on that panel...reminded me of how fodder used to look next to Whitebeard, poor Usopp lol.

How did that associate you with raizou? Maybe i'm missing something but wasn't he referring to the other 2 samurai's there.

 

[Majukun]

de gozaru is a speech pattern of kinemon (and momonosuke if i remember corretcly),so at the least we can associate it with wano in general..and bariete was nowhere near them for as long as to actually absorb any kind of speech pattern..so he should had some previous history with someone from wano...and since kinemon and kanjurou (and momonosuke) have never been on zou before,the only one known was raizou
also the single fact that he used that speech pattern contradicted by itself the previous assumption that the mink had nothing to do with samurai at all.

as i said,what i did failed to predict was that the entire nation was covering fro raizou (it's something incredible which adds to the surprise of this chapter)..and i thought that bariete was the one keeping raizou hidden...

 

[Dimmle]

Holy shit, what a misdirection. Best twist in a long time. I'm tearing up like Franky over here.

 

[B-Dubs]

I had the same reaction the Strawhats did to that news, goddamn that twist!

I see but i doubt he could pick up a speak pattern from someone whom he knows for a short time(raizo) since i doubt he was on island for such a long time.

But y, now we know that they had a lot of connection with wano so it's not that weird.(Still i think your original assumption is a bit stretched )

 

[NSESN]

I don't know why, but i'm just happy after reading this chapter, it's incredible how Oda can affect my mood with this manga.

it might be,but it definitely had a reason to be there..it was extremely marked..he/she basically uses it way more than even kinemon does..and de gozaru is an archaic from of the verb "to be"..so it had to have some meaning..especially from someone of a tribe who just said that had no connection with samurais and were isolated from the entire world for centuries..where could he/she pick that speech pattern if not from a samurai?
especially,now that i think about it..after he already picked up the "ETEE" of the ninja running..back in the chapter it was treated as a joke..but now it might be bariete's shtick XD

 

[TheGreatDirector]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[RomanceDawn]

Wow. The whole chapter I kept thinking I wish things would move faster, here comes the inevitable misunderstanding and fight before the Straw Hats settle things. That final reveal was AWESOME!!!! That was a twist I was not expecting! The idea that the whole country would go that far, even under torture, to keep an ally safe made me tear up.

The Mink's are all very good actors. Or maybe they are bad and Jack saw right through them. I've assumed Kaido has been occupying Wano for a while now(maybe that snow country complete with Japanese castle and bonsai trees?) so I suppose he found out about the Zou allies there.

It could also have been De gosaru as a pun on the fact he's a monkey

 

[More Fun To Compute]

That "de gozaru" pretty much used to be the catchphrase of Rurouni Kenshin and Oda used to be an assistant on that manga. Like dattabayo for Naruto even although it isn't nonsense. It's just considered excessively polite and old fashioned language.

 

[everyday math]

One piece is too good for this world. Luffy looks ready to ask the entire Mink nation to join his crew.

 

[Chariot]

I don't know why, but i'm just happy after reading this chapter, it's incredible how Oda can affect my mood with this manga.

It's always amazing to see people stick up for others on the risk of their own life. Like the people who hid and protected jews and other political persecuted victims in the Reich or muslims standing up for christians against terrorists threatening to kill them.

 

[Nightbird]

Yooo, those Minks are amazing. I did not see that coming at all!

Luffy looks ready to ask the entire Mink nation to join his crew.

This too lol

 

[Majukun]

it probably is knowing oda,but it still has to have some kind of explanation in the story..especially when that one word has been associated to kinemon and momonosuke for so long in the manga..it's like if someone starts to put "-ya" at the end of names but it's not related in any way to law
