Haha, no wonder Stussys a Queen of the underworld. She backs up her talk.

I read the chapter on my cell phone at work.

Did anyone see Carrot inside Bege? I could only see Jimbe, Nami, Chopper, big tongue guy,... But no Carrot?

traitor?

Reading at a cell phone of big screen is really different.

I did not see her. Interesting. Then again, there really isn't anywhere for her to go and do anything sneaky lol

Kaidou really seems to be something else. If even Big Mom refuses to call him a human

Yup

One of the strongest characters we've encountered so far calls Kaidou " that thing"

And Luffy says he wants to finish off Kaidou first and then Big Mom lmao

there are so many things that wouldn't make sense that my head spins

also,for what we know from the narrator voice when kaidou was presented,soem yonkou managed to imprison him and torture him but was still unable to kill him

so big mom has probably first hand experience with kaido

I don't get it. Why Kaido before Big Mom? Is it an admission that he can't take her down now and is not ready?

the fact that they can't take big mom down right now has been stated since the beginning of the arc really.
they don't have the power and they don't have the numbers

meanwhile against kaidou they are rising an army

I mean the plan was always Kaido first, no? That's why he joined with Law. That was his plan from the start. And even then Luffy knows he doesn't have his full crew with him. How's he suppose to take down someone stronger than him, with all of her crew mates with her?

I see, thanks for the clarification. So would you say that this was some kind of suicide squad? ;)

Do you see Zoro and co. here? All his actual companions are at Wano, not to mention they also want to join up with the Whitebeard Pirates, and the goal since he met Law was to take down Kaido first. He's not necessarily saying he thinks Kaido is weaker/stronger, just that he's surprisingly content with sticking to the plan of getting Sanji and then leaving, because fighting her was never the plan. That said, he had to gauge his strength real quick. At the very least, that brief scuffle will probably help him come up with some new shit for Kaido.

I'm assuming that Stussy was the agent who got Morgans to write up that fake Doflamingo story at the beginning of Dressrosa. Especially considering that Morgans already knew that she was CP0 and their conversation implied he's already written fake stories for her. Which makes Stussy seem rather important, even for a CP0 agent.

Also I wonder if this increases the chance that one of the other Underworld bosses is affiliated with the Revolutionary Army. We haven't seen the other three bosses since chaos started and that Undertaker guy especially looks like someone who would hang with Ivankov.

Amazing 10/10 chapter!
Gastino is dead! Long live Caesar Clown!
The Stussy reveal was crazy. CP0 is becoming more of an ongoing threat right now and it's great.
R.I.P. Du Feld (maybe)
I was shocked that everyone got wrecked so easily. Luffy and Sanji didn't really need to go out of Capone if they were just gonna haul ass right after clashing with BM.
Luffy screwed himself over by going Gear Fourth and...deactivating it right after. Why not just fly away in the other direction? Now he's out of commission for ten minutes.
Judge's helmet is broken. Let's see those eyebrows! 😈

And finally, after six years of waiting, the Tamatebako fulfills its purpose.
This is a more satisfying usage for it since not only will BM be pissed off that her precious gift was a bomb, but it's also the team's ticket to bail.
The explosion was massive compared to the Whole Cake chateau.
If the explosives went off in the Ryugu Palace, half of the palace would be gone. Talk about overkill, Ministers! Jeez!

You could see her ears in the background last chapter. So she's definitely there.
 
In case you folks missed it, here are the 10 projects that are in the work for #OP20th

#1 Is the beginning of serialisation volume of JUMP "Remember Collaboration Cover".
#2 You turn over the front cover and it has Oda's illustration/message.
#3 Is an opening poster. 20's years worth of emotions and thoughts and a vow to progress into the future.
#4 Is a filed appendix: Straw Hat Clan VS the warriors of the New World! And then "Confrontation Original Shogi"?.
#5 is a complete serialization battle formation participation self-challenge project. Search for the Straw Hats.
#6 is Co-starring with Luffy! A new plan with reader participation.
#7 is One Piece X School of Jump special project.
#8 is ONE PIECE 20th ANNIVERSARY SURPRISE (7/22 something will happen! Lot's of must-see news for fans).
#9 Manga about memories with Oda by Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi.
#10 is an official tour insert for Saikyou Jump's One Piece Party.
 
So what's gonna happen in wano that gets the crew an upgrade lol
Luffy is already a beast, he keeps getting tired and worn out so quickly it's comical. Gear 4 "perfected" will more than likely be his upgrade IMO.

We've really yet to see what Zoro, Sanji, and Robin can truly do in a life and death fight.

What's the best way to import Jump issues?

I kinda feel like I need to have the 20th anniversary edition.

Cheers for this, it's insane the series has been going 20 years.
I first started watching when the anime was wrapping up Enies Lobby. I think around ten years ago. I can't believe it's been another ten. Here's to another ten more too!

Excited for the colour spread, they always make the best wallpapers.
 
Oda's 8000 word interview. Courtesy of Sandman on APForums

Got my ONE PIECE Magazine volume 1. Here is my brief summary for Oda's long interview. I hope someone will post a full translation

- Oda enjoys talking with young assistants since they are familiar with trends.

- Oda loves film and documentaries. He analyzes why people enjoy each film.

- Oda himself doesn't know much about recent games. Instead, he tells his assistants to feel free to spend Oda's studio's money on buying new games

- Oda prefers collecting information to sleeping. He says he even wants to become a robot who doesn't need sleep.

- Oda takes care of his neck and back and via chiropractic .

- Oda is very confident that he will not die from overwork since he doesn't feel stressed at least when he is drawing manga.
Oda also says he feels exhausted when there are many works other than manga.

- Oda has never experienced a callus caused by too much drawings.

- Oda tells his editors that he will take care of their family if the editor is down from illness or injury due to overwork.

- Oda has been encouraging victims from earthquakes via drawing illustrations, but at the same time, he feels it might be meaningless if the victims are hungry.

- Oda sometimes skips drawing trivial stuffs (ex. Pandaman) these days since his eyesight is getting weaker.

- Oda needs to consult his notebooks about the details of ONE PIECE world.

- Oda is glad that Shueisha allows him to take more breaks these days.
He goes to foreign countries (Singapore, Hawaii, Guam etc) at least once in a year.

- Oda wants to go on a round-the-world trip when ONE PIECE is finished. He says he'd like to visit Asian countries such as India.
He also says that he wants to take a break during his serialization to visit world heritages which require physical strength to go.
He wants to visit various countries by 50 years old.

- What Oda wants most now is Floating Seahorse in Dubai since he can see fish outside the window.

- Oda has a longing for sea and snow since his childhood because he lived in south mountain areas in Japan.

- Oda enjoys watching both old and new films, but he usually watches new films in order to catch up with the trends unless there is much free time.

- When asked if he is afraid that he can't come up with ideas about ONE PIECE some day in the future,
Oda denies and says he is confident that he can produce good ideas via final push near a deadline for chapters.
Oda appreciates deadlines since he considers he would not be able to draw an interesting manga if he had so much time to prepare.

- Many staffs are involved in ONE PIECE industry, but Oda himself doesn't feel pressured at all.
He says there is no responsibility for him about ONE PIECE other than manga although for example he has been getting along well with anime staffs.
Oda says it would not have a large impact even if ONE PIECE comes to an end due to his health.

- Oda considers manga is basically helpless in that it can't be of help for people who suffer from a large disaster.
Oda says manga doesn't produce food, house and clothes.
(Oda has made drawings for the victims for large earthquakes in Japan.)

- When Oda was in his 20s, he thought he should spend time on manga rather than attending his parent's funeral even if they die.
Oda now calls it a crazy idea, but at the same time, he says this excessive seriousness toward manga made what ONE PIECE is today.

- Oda wants to entertain people ever since his childhood.
He says he is happy to see others delighted.

- Oda says now that ONE PIECE is already the best manga in terms of volume sales he is wondering what to aim for next.
He also says he has already experienced most of what other popular manga artists have done in the past (anime, games etc?).
Oda says he needs a big goal.

- Oda supports his assistants so that their mangas will become popular.

- ONE PIECE has more characters than before.
He has to cram much information into one chapter to move forward with the story.
Oda says he would be able to draw really impressive fight scenes only if he could keep drawing the fight scene for 2 chapters in a row.
He feels ONE PIECE can now spend only 1 chapter at most on a fight scene.

- When asked where he wants to visit most, Oda laughs and says he doesn't want to visit space since it would be too dangerous.

- Oda is interested in diving since his wife loves it, but he is scared of sharks. (The restroom in Oda studio is full of sharks, though. lol)

Oda's the best. That thing with his bathroom is hilarious.

I will say I'm not surprised to see him say he's been cramming more plot stuff in each chapter since it's something I've notice ever since the timeskip. He's pretty much cut down on all non-essential fights at this point, before everyone would get a fight but now only absolutely needed fights are featured.
 
Oh, I meant the actual Jump volume! I have a few that I picked up from the times I went to Japan, but I have never found a website that ships them internationally. Does Amazon do it?

Thanks for the link anyway :)

If it's Jump issues you want, I think you'll have to try CDJapan. I've heard that Amazon Japan doesn't distribute magazines.

Came in here to write a long post but this basically sums it up

Loved seeing Ichiji land a hit on Karakuri

I doubt that a perfected Gears 4 would be enough to take down a Yonko. And it's too early for Luffy to awaken his latent abilities imo

He seemed to match her in strength while in Gear 4, so he'll probably need to figure out how to awaken his powers to start taking down the Yonko. The raw power is probably almost there, he just needs a little something more and that might come in the next arc.
