Another great chapter in this flashback. Awful time for a break though, going into this part of the year chapter releases will be scarce and random
Interesting decision to skip the fight. Keeps Oden’s strength relative to Whitebeard still vague- strong enough to really impress him, but, well, that was to be expected.
Octo swords becomes an allied pirate, doesn’t he? Toki’s obviously fascinating with her relation to the VC, but I’m not sure how much if that we’ll actually see. And the moon comes up again with her name.
Whitebeard considering Oden his brother instead of his son is interesting. Keeps the family theme going but perhaps shows Whitebeard thinks of him on more equal pegging than the others in the crew?
Always thought that Roger’s shadowed eyes were like Law’s and he’s always had them, but it looks like it’s from his illness. Definitely see Ace in him there. Of course, the great pirate usage is very interesting considering that’s what Luffy has to be when he meets Shanks, which is to be soon. Stuff to think of for where Luffy will stand after Wano.
Shanks being so young on Roger’s crew, while being adamant he wouldn’t let Luffy on his crew at a similar age, also brings a new wrinkle to him.
