Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1044 Spoilers Discussion

[Gol D. Roger]

Did Oda actually kill Orochi?

 

[Brendan Schaub]

"The country must be prepared to welcome and work with them"

Singular they, along with its inflected or derivative forms, them, their, theirs and themselves (or themself), is an epicene (gender-neutral) third-person pronoun

 

[wys]

so no gear 5 tiger man bu- but oda drew luffy with a tiger

 

[NotTommy]

"Destiny" as a concept does not really exist. Nor does it contradict a character "struggling to reach his dream".
Just think, why was it even Luffy's dream to become the pirate king?
Well, what's a fact is that the one piece world needs someone who finds the one piece and challenges the world government. This can only be done by the "pirate king"(a title the world government made up)

Luffy is the next Joyboy because he will be the same to the world, play the same role, do tue same for the people as the historical Joyboy.

"Nika" is just a name for now, and we don't know who invented this name. It might have been the world government or even the ancient kingdom.

Luffy will keep calling his attacks "gomu gomu no...." and won't call himself Joyboy either.
He is Luffy and people only call him the next Joyboy like they call Zoro the next Ryuma.
Of course Zoro is not Ryuma. He doesnmt have Ryuma's sword currently yet people call him the second Ryuma.
His role as such is neither a direct result of his bloodline nor is Ryuma's sword imposing its will on Zoro or anything like that.

And all the same, the devil fruit is not all that's necessary to make Luffy Joyboy.



And: Roger was only waiting for someone because he got that info on Laugh tale.
There might not even be a "prophecy" in the traditional sense.
Joyboy probably had voat and possibly future sight. He might have just been capable of looking that far in the future where he saw someone being born 800 years later to fulfill what he couldn't do.

Fair and after thinking about it some more, you're right, I should wait to see how Oda completely handles and reveals the stuff regarding destiny and how much it influences Luffy. Regardless I agree Luffy still worked incredibly hard on his journey and we, the audience, have seen that but it depends on how much fate influences things. Then again, if fate has no bearing whatsoever on stuff occurring, seems pointless to include it (it could be that fate vs free-will will be an important aspect of what's to be revealed). We'll see, I guess.

Why is people suddenly saying zoro is the sun?

Luffy is literally THE SUN GOD NIKA.
WTF GONE THROUGH THEIR MIND

Chapter 1,044: “Warrior of Liberation”.

Germa 66's Ahh… Emotionless Excursion, Vol. 8 “Mom is on an expedition. Research started!!” On the cover, Oven has left the prisoners' book (open on Niji and Yonji pages) in a room where some of his brothers/sisters are (Prim, Kato, Brownie and Anana). As Oven says goodbye, his brothers/sisters prepare to start all kinds of investigations on Niji and Yonji's bodies (using knives, saws, hammers, lasers...).

Chapter starts with Luffy talking, although we cannot see him close-up. The sound of the drums is getting louder.

Luffy: "What happened? I...
Why? ...How am I able to get up if I lost.
I suddenly feel so much fun...
Ahahahaha!!"

As Luffy speaks, we see in a distant shot that black lightnings come out of Luffy's body.

Zunesha is still with the World Government ships in the sea near Wanokuni. Momonosuke looks at the roof of Onigashima, he's very upset and even trembles.

Momonosuke: "Joy Boy…!?
Do you mean Luffy!?"

Yamato: "Is that... what Zunesha said!!?"

In the “Pleasure Hall” of the Leftbrain Tower, we see that Some is taking care of Sanji (he is lying on a futon). Suddenly, Sanji gets up because he senses something and looks up.

Some: "Eh!
Kyaah!!"

Sanji: "...!!
Hah, hah...
Luffy...!?"

On the Live Floor, Luffy's allies are also feeling something. Kid, Law and Hyougorou look up.

Kid: "What!?"

Hyougorou: "Ah...
Is that Straw Hat...!?"

Marco also feels something and tells it to Nami and Tama, who are crying as they hug.

Marco: "Straw Hat...!?
Hey! He is still breathing.

Nami: "Is Luffy alive!!?"

Tama: "Is he really alive!!? Aniki~~~"

We travel now to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, to the “Room of Authority” in Pangea Castle. Gorousei continues talking about the situation in Wanokuni. One of them wonders if it's worth it losing a top agent and anger Kaidou. Gorousei with dreadlocks replies that it's worth it, especially considering the future that this situation may lead to.

Swordsman Gorousei: "The “World Government” tries to keep the “Gomu Gomu no Mi” with them in every era...
But, somehow, the fruit always gets away.
And 800 years have passed...!!"

Gorousei with big beard and mustache: "It's like if that “Akuma no Mi” tries to escape from them."

Gorousei with a spot on his head: "It is possible, since we know Zoan fruits have minds of their own.
And that fruit has the name of a “God”...
The other name of the “Gomu Gomu no Mi” is..."

Blond Gorousei: "“Hito Hito no Mi” (Human-Human Fruit) Mythical Zoan... Model “Nika”."

As the Gorousei says this, in a magnificent and epic double page we see the silhouette of Luffy with the full Moon in the background. His silhouette is identical to Nika's (without weapons in his hands). Although we only see a black silhouette, it's clear that Luffy is laughing. In addition, the sound of drums continues.

Luffy: "Ahahahahahaha!!!"

Gorousei continues speaking, as we see a close-up of the silhouette of Luffy's face. He's laughing.

Gorousei: "His body has the properties of rubber.
And he can fight in any way he wishes... Making people smile wherever he goes.
He is the “Warrior of Liberation”, also known as...
“Nika, the Sun God”.
Awakening will give the rubber body even more “strength” and “freedom”.
It is said that...
it's the most ridiculous power in the world!!"

Cut to the “Treasure Hall” on the 2nd floor of Onigashima castle. Orochi is still trapped under the rubble.

Orochi: "Hey... Hiyori!!
I... I appreciated Oden too...!!
I was... used by Kaidou!!
Let's run away from here together...!! Now take the needles off..."

Hiyori: "My father kept his promise, right?
He believed in the promise you and Kaidou made him to free “Wanokuni”.
During 5 years, my father was dancing in a funny way...!!
Even against his family!!
My father kept his promise!!
He believed in the promise to free them all.
He even endured 1 hour burning in boiling oil...!!
He was always laughing... Even if the life of an entire country was hijacked.
My father endured all that pain alone!!!"

We see a small flashback between Oden and Hiyori.

Oden: "What's wrong Hiyori~~~?"

Hiyori: "Father, are you fine with every body talking bad about you?"

Oden: "Yeah, I'm fine with it.
Why you ask...?
That's because...
I've got you guys by my side!!"

Hiyori: "Really!? Then let's stay together forever."

Back to the present, Orochi talks now.

Orochi: "Oh yes!!
Oden was such a great samurai!!
As a “Shogun”, I shall honor your father..."

Hiyori: "..."

Hiyori takes off her mask and yells in anger at Orochi while she cries tears of pain.

Hiyori: "My name is “Kouzuki Hiyori”!!!
Be silence, you insolent man!!!"

Orochi: "Ehhh!!!"

Hiyori: "Even at times when I had an empty stomach and putting on broken fabric!!
I live proudly up to my father's name!!
You shouldn't be in “Shogun” position for even just one day!!
You are a pathetic fool!!!
And as your foolishness grew, so are the innocent lives perishing in vain!!"

Orochi is very scared after Hiyori's words.

Orochi: "You're not going to do anything to me, right!!?
Revenge isn't very popular nowadays!!
And even if you kill me, you have no chance of defeating Kaidou!!"

Suddenly, a little version of Kanjuurou's Kazenbo returns to where Orochi and Hiyori are.

Kanjuurou's Kazenbo: "Orochi-sama..."

Orochi: "Huh?"

Kanjuurou's Kazenbo: "I... fai... led..."

Orochi: "Kanjuurou!?
You returned at the right time!! This turns the tables!!
Burn that woman until she dies!!!
What a tragicomedy! Remains of the “Kouzuki”, have you seen it?
This is the “luck” of the strongest!!!"

Kanjuurou's Kazenbo: "Orochi-sama..."

Orochi: "Eh!? Hey!!
What the hell are you doing!!!
Gyaaa~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

Kanjuurou's Kazenbo ignores Orochi's words and instead of going for Hiyori, it goes for Orochi, who begins to burn violently. Hiyori looks at him still with tears in her eyes.

Hiyori: "The “dawn” will come."

Orochi : "Stupid Kanjuurou, what have you done!!!
Hiyori, help me!!!"

Hiyori: "“Kouzuki” house... always keeps its promises!!"

Back to the roof of Onigashima, there we see again the silhouette of Luffy with the full Moon in the background.

Luffy: "...
I feel like I can do anything I want...!!
My heartbeat sounds so fun!!
This is my highest peak...!!
This is... “Gear Fith”!!!”

Back to the Live Floor, a huge blast of Color of the Supreme King Haki comes from above. A lot of black lightnings pierce through the roof and Kaidou's subordinates begin to fall unconscious with foam at the mouth. Kaidou looks worried at the roof.

Kaidou: "What's up there on the roof...!!!"

In a huge double spread, we see that the roof begins to break and Luffy's arm appears from the hole. The arm is massive and it grabs Kaidou's body in dragon form without difficulty. Everyone looks at the scene shocked.

Kid: "Straw Hat...!?"

Chopper (crying): "Luffy~~~~~!!?"

Luffy pulls Kaidou up (Kaidou's eyes popping out, like a cartoon) and drags him easily to the roof. Luffy then increases his muscle mass (as in the leaked picture) and starts spinning wildly Kaidou's body. Kaidou's face looks again like a cartoon, his eyes are popping out one more time.

Luffy stops spinning and starts slamming Kaidou back and forth on the ground, until Luffy lets go him. Kaidou gets up dizzy, with a bump on his head and little stars coming out of it (again like a cartoon). Luffy can't stop laughing.

Luffy: "Hah. Hah.
Ahahahaha!!"

Kaidou: "...!!
Straw Hay...!! You are alive...!!
Thank you.
“Bolo Breath”!!!"

Luffy: "Ahahahaha!!
Eh?
Aaahhhhhh!!!"

Luffy (who has returned to his normal form) is lying on the ground laughing non-stop, but when he sees Kaidou's “Bolo Breath”, he screams surprised. His eyes also pop out like a cartoon, but it's more excessive than Kaidou's (Luffy acts like Jim Carrey's character in the movie "The Mask").

Luffy grabs the ground with his hands and stretches it out, causing the ground turns into rubber. Kaidou's “Bolo Breath” hits the ground, but since it's now rubber, it doesn't get destroyed and holds back the attack. Luffy changes back to his muscled form and pulls the piece of ground, causing the “Bolo Breath” bounces back to Kaidou. There's a huge explosion.

We finally see Luffy full body clearly. His physical appearance is almost the same as always, although his shirt is now white instead of black (we'll see the actual color that Oda gives to the shirt). His hair now looks like flames and he has that "vapour collar" around his neck and under his armpits (like in Gear 4 form). His eyebrows are now curled (similar to Sanji's) and the pupils of his eyes have changed (check leaked picture to see Luffy's face).

Luffy laughs non-stop again as Kaidou stands up. “Gear Fith” is officially presented.

Luffy: "Ahyahyahya!!"

Kaidou: "...!! I'm sorry for what happened earlier, I was STUPID...!!
I didn't want to win like that."

Luffy looks at Kaidou with determination and a smile on his face.

Luffy: "Don't mention it!!
Let's end this!!!"

End of the chapter.

no evil sanji

 

[WizardKing]

Wanji the first who sensed luffy

 

[Midnight Delight]

Kanjuro was like.
"We in this together ****, lets go to hell together"

 

[theonlydoffymingo]

no break next week right?

 

[Redboy776]

He just use base CoC To fodder but not used advance CoC to Kaido. Are you already read the spoiler ?
Gear 5 Luffy beat up Kaidou without haki.

Zorotards are suffering from this reality

Are you alright?

I didnt even mention Zoro in my post.

Black Lightning is ad CoC in case you forgot.
Dont know why you are debating this.
Its not like it take anything away from Luffy lol.
In the end he did use ad CoC.
Next chapter will have him use it more into his attack vs Hybrid/Awakened Kaido.

Its as if some of you realy have nightmare about Zoro imo.

My post was about @MonsterZoro who was saying ad CoC is useless and that Luffy didnt use it this chapter.

 

[Blackflamesanji]

no evil sanji

Sanji will turn emotionless when he see robin get kidnapp

 

[YASER]

Sanji saved this chapter

 

[faker]

Why didn't Kaido perceive Luffy in advance?

Describe Sanji eyebrow please

 

[Moewu]

Now the real Kaidou vs Luffy fight begins.

I am afraid this is it for him but he will be the saviour of the next Arc with Usopp together

:cheers:

 

[Midnight Delight]

 

[Halyup]

Why is people suddenly saying zoro is the sun?

Luffy is literally THE SUN GOD NIKA.
WTF GONE THROUGH THEIR MIND

Zoro is Moon
Nika is Sun

 

[Kromage911]

So will this be Luffy's final powerup in the serie. In other words is this EOS Luffy?

Probably the last devil fruit related PU. We might get haki PUs later on.

 

[Embers Kaios]

Agreed. With the deaths of Luffy and Zoro, Sanji's now next to only Jinbe.

You think that’s funny?

 

[Adam-san]

So will this be Luffy's final powerup in the serie. In other words is this EOS Luffy?

Nope
