I'm pretty calm after smoking a bowl. The homies look like they partake as well, lol.
Prometheus had a "get rekt" smirk though. Rip Straw Hats, looks like the manga will end next week lol
It's been a good read.
Lmao, can only imagine what the other Yonkou are capable. Even if they are "stronger", it doesn't even matter, it's never mattered. The stalemate exists for a reason, there's a reason they don't go after one another. And regardless of what Kaidou and Shanks showcase, Big Mom's powers are just hax af

So B-Leg, was this chapter better than than Shokugeki arc everyone dislikes?

I still struggle to see why Shanks is a Yonkou considering he lost his arm to a sea monster (that always struct me as a retcon on Oda's part), still the fact he is, is a testament to his abilities.
I thought the general assumption is that he willingly gave it up
Principate
Saint Titanfall
But why? There's no way any Yonkou would ever need to give up their arm to save Luffy or any remotely strong Haki user for that matter. It's a massive plot hole.
If you consider his abilties as a yonkou he gave up his arm for no reason.

Big Mom catching some MAJOR GNARLY WAVES, brah!
King of Lightning's reaction is gonna be nuts.
Pudding taking a page out of the Trafalgar Law playbook. lmao That caught me off guard.
I haven't felt this much intensity and hopelessness from a One Piece chapter in a long time.
Where's Kuzan when you need him?

Not only has she a hax df, she has a body that can only really be hurt when she's already incapacitated in some form.
She's all around OP
There is also no confirmation that he was a Yonkou back then.

He had to be pretty damn close it was only a few years and he was fighting mihawk the world's strongest swordsman beforehand. WB was shocked he even lost his arm so he was supposed to be a notable pirate back then.

Yeah, I don't think he would've become an emperor after losing his arm and becoming weaker.
Kaidou is definitely next after all the buildup to the Wano Country arc.
And with all the different elements and characters converging for that conflict there's no way it can end in any way other than Kaidou being defeated. I'm not sure how it can happen but all the signs are pointing to that.
Kaido is after this, we are in the Yonko saga.
I guess. Regardless of whether he did it purposefully or not, Shanks said it best: "It's just an arm." I think Oda even said that it actually didn't really matter much to him, so pretty much the only downside (or positive?) is that Mihawk finally leaves him alone.
That said, if that is actually the correct reasoning, I think it's more accurate to say he just wanted to save Luffy at all costs, not that he specifically intended on losing that particular body part lol

I recall Oda stating that Shanks didn't lose any of his strength after losing his arm.
It's important to remember three key factors when bringing up that particular Shanks moment.
First, Oda's editor at the time wanted the first chapter to have more impact so Oda decided to have Shanks lose his arm. Second, he lost his arm 12 years before the current story events. And third, we have no idea if Shanks was even an Emperor 12 years ago.
Kaido has been defeated three times before. It's mentioned in his introduction.

Kaidou's been beaten far more than any other Yonkou almost definitely. I mean did we ever hear of BM even being captured by the marines let alone excecuted.
Keep in mind she's been around and notable since Roger's days

Yea but, is he dead? Kaido wants to die, he's never gonna stop coming for the crew if they defeat him, blowing up ships and breaking execution stands kinda dilute the achievement of defeating and capturing him.

Well that arc was more so unliked because it was full on politics for a lot of chapters

Thing that's gonna suck about Kaido is that Odas gonna have to blow all our expectations away to compete with the inventiveness of WCI and the Charlotte fruits. Zoan types were always the most boring in the first place.
Kaido is hilarious enough on his own from what we've seen, and his entire crew are crazy murder junkies.

True but only old dying whitebeard has been offed. How easy do you think it is to even kill Big Mom? I doubt BB dies easily either.
Not sure about Shanks though.

Yeah, I think the way to do it is have like all out action. Like Zoro x Franky Mad Max fights with half centaur axe murderers or something haha

It sort of feels like those naval battles Oda talked about doing for Wano are already starting to crop up a bit here.
One Piece 880:
Seeing all the crazy things Big Mom is able to accomplish with her crew/abilities just makes me look forward to seeing what Kaidou and his crew are capable of together and how much the Straw Hats will have grown to get to the point of posing a challenge. Hopefully the Straw Hats on the Sunny have the submarine ready.

I hope Kaido has someway to be as visually interesting and versatile as Big Mom's homie attacks. There's been speculation that he has a dragon fruit so I guess turning into an ukiyo style dragon could be cool.

That brook spread has still been the best in the arc. Yeah I feel a simple powerhouse wouldn't be as interesting but I'm really doubt how that arc is going to work. Luffy is not even close to yonkou level.

Why would shanks die easily unless you talking about some story reason and not a fight.
He is in same group as BM , BB and Kaido .
I mean this same guy that face of Kaido and then went and stop the war .
Cause no one wanted to fight him not even Akainu .
Principate
Saint Titanfall
I'm not talking in general more that he strikes me as the mentor type that you know the type that dies in these sorts of stories. Which is why I stopped in my pronouncement that he wouldn't die . He won't die easily but i can't honestly say i expect him not to die. He may not, but it's hit and miss.

Wait people are saying that ?
They do know that this same Sanji that would never fuck up food.
Its like they don't know Sanji character and how he would never sully food.
He is either a dragon or oni, both would be cool.
Not only that, but he'd be poisoning a woman, he'd literally be breaking two of his biggest rules if he did that lol

I'm thinking Sanji's "special ingredient" might need him to do some okama island shenanigans.
The interesting part of Kaido's crew is, that they are not true Fruit-users, which has wired effects to them. We properly will get mutants vs samurais vs ninjas vs pirates, which sounds awesome!
Would BM even be affected by poison? That woman looks invincible lol
