Spoiler One Piece Chapter 973 Spoilers Discussion

[HA001]

Starting facts is salt now

When/if Zoro fights King, and get his feats, we will discuss, but for now fact is he was code-blocked by a holding back Kyoshiro(who was viewing him as an ally) while bloodlusted

And i prefer discussing the manga than arguing about potential match-ups whose set-ups and circumstances are up in the air

Yawn. The salt is only gonna increase from you.
Fact is zoro matched a yc level guy injured and only 2 swords

 

[Luffy is the mc]

I wouldn't be surprised if the flying six are all marine (sword members). All trained for the specific purpose of taking down the Beast Pirates from within. It would explain Drakes anger towards Sanji for defeating Page One.

He was just pretending. He doesn't care at all about page one. He's the one who set law free and probably didn't do much to stop sanji escape once there were nobody to see them.

 

[DarkWitch]

Interesting how throughout this flashback the one character we still haven't seen yet is Tenguyama Hitetsu.

 

[Gintoki]

Manga also said Luffy was pummeling Kaido when Kaido wasn't even feeling a thing

Zoro was only fighting equally with the portion of power Kyoshiro was using at the time(was only bothering to stop Zoro killing Orochi since they were allies when Zoro was completely bloodlusted)

So in the end then a holding back Kyoshiro completely stopped bloodlusted Zoro in an attempt to kill Orochi

but.. butt.. muh black banda isn't even worn

 

[Worst]

With the way Queen was talking about them it seems like they were allies than subordinates, I could be wrong though and maybe they are subordinates. We only saw them in silhouettes so far we have no idea what their true appearances looks like, again it's best to keep your expectations low about them. Also they can still match the Beasts Pirates theme while being an ally and not a subordinate, just because the numbers may match the theme with the crew doesn't mean they are direct subordinates.

Like I said it's best to keep your expectations low for those guys, I highly doubt they are all going to on the same level as Oars.

i'll love them even if they're base chopper level

 

[Bogard]

He was pummeling Kaido though. Just because Kaido wasn't taking damage doesn't change the fact of the pummeling.

And you assume Zoro was using his full power too. Zoro's bloodlust again was aimed at Orochi so that point holds little weight.

A holding back Kyoshiro as those in world saw was fighting Equally with an injured 2 swords Zoro who wasn't also going all out.

In the end, the very fact that Zoro wasn't dominated by a YC level even with 2 swords shows he was that strong all along

> Easily deflected his strongest 2sword flying slash
> Easily stopped him in his tracks to kill Orochi

Zoro was the one attempting to kill Orochi at all cost, and to that he wanted to finish Kyoshiro as fast as possible but couldn't

On the other hand, Kyoshiro's only objective was to stop Zoro and was as calm as cuccumber while doing it, so yes bloodlusted Zoro was code-blocked by a holding back Kyoshiro

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Instead of Kyoshiro and X Drake, these two are going to be Zoro and Sanji's warm up fights before they take on King and Queen.

Yooo, Rabbit beard is strong. Never underestimate him.
He's secretly working for Blackbeard like all the "breaded guys"

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

So in the end then a holding back Kyoshiro completely stopped bloodlusted Zoro in an

You mean Kyoshiro stopped a two sword injured Zoro who was attacking someone else and was barely focusing On Kyoshiro. Like in the middle of the fight, Zoro literally looks away from Kyoshiro and shouts at Orochi to stop running like a bitch. Then he turns back to Kyoshiro and asks what his deal is and they continue for like one panel the Oniwanbanshi chick starts shooting a machine gun at Zoro while he's in mid combat and he dodges it and sees Komurasaki being attacked and decides to go save her.

That's all that happened. It was just stalling

We've seen weaker people STALL stronger people. Marco stall bloodlusted Akainu that one time doesn't he.

It's fine to give Kyoshiro props for managing to stop a nerfed Zoro, but until he's in actual combat with no nerfs, then he ain't shit. At best he's Ashura level and Zoro's beyond that

But bogard doesnt want zoro beyond that you see especially before enma.

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

tbh i think the numbers might be above the F6 (probably just my opinion)

The Numbers and Tobi Roppo could still be around the same level, but the Headliners are pirate captains serving under Kaido's flag.

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

I highly doubt it, that would mean that the only strong subordinates Kaido has would be the All Stars.

Never forget the uncrowned YFM level fighter, Batman!

 

[Red Dog]

As usual judging the whole chapter based on one line from spoiler...never change WG never change...

 

[DarkWitch]

When it comes to the traitor if it's not a Scabbard, then the only other option left is Tenguyama Hitetsu and if it's not him then it has to be a Scabbard.

I like how you willingly don't mention the nerfs on Zoro and how the fight actually plays out when people come and HELP Kyoshiro mid combat

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Mindless giant monsters are never that strong

Yeah, Numbers are gonna have the most rediculous joke of designs. Oda acted like they are scary in Silhouette. But in reality, look at the shape size of their head, and look at their hands. They are gonna be goofy as fuck! Mark my words

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

Tenguyama is helping wth Zoro's training and had kept Oden's swords for 20 years

What part of Kyoshiro never tried to take out Zoro don't you understand ?

> To Kyoshiro, Zoro was an ally, and only trying to stop him from killing Orochi
> On the other hand Zoro was bloodlusted, aka attempting to take out Kyoshiro as fast as possible to kill Orochi

In the end though, Kyoshiro accomplished his objective without killing intent when Zoro failed his own while bloodlusted

> Easily deflected his strongest 2sword flying slash
> Easily stopped him in his tracks to kill Orochi

Zoro was the one attempting to kill Orochi at all cost, and to that he wanted to finish Kyoshiro as fast as possible but couldn't

On the other hand, Kyoshiro's only objective was to stop Zoro and was as calm as cuccumber while doing it, so yes bloodlusted Zoro was code-blocked by a holding back Kyoshiro

>First that his not his strongest two sword attack. Second it wasn't aimed at him. It is even a weaker attack than the flying slash Zoro sent to Fujitora.
> Again another assumption. The only portrayal we got from that is they fought equally and Kyoshiro was actually strong.

He wanted to kill Orochi yes. Finishing Kyoshiro was never claimed so another assumption. This is actually proving wrong when Zoro tells Kyoshiro to move out of the way. Only proving more that Zoro's bloodlust was aimed at Orochi. Even then, it only shows that Kyoshiro is strong which is obvious since he is YC level

Again that is Koshiro's demeanor. As you can see from the spoiler, his demeanor doesn't change even when he is crying. Same for someone like Vergo. Doesn't mean he wasn't trying.
Inverse portrayal says they were fighting equally.

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Never would've thought that i would say this, but I'm missing my Boi Luffy

I miss him as well
But I miss the outside world more!
Oda needs to finish act 3, to go to outside world and we see some outside development regarding "Sabo/Shichibukai/Marines/Marco/Weevle...etc"
