Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 977 : "The Party Won't Start Now"

[Tyki_Mikk]

The one with the Dinosaur could be a number judging by the point that he as still horns after transforming into his zoan power. Also some beast pirate make a comment that they can drink with these guys, same when Queen said the same about the numbers!!
With mean the Onis(Numbers) of Kaido having also Zoan power, with this kinda little info I now try to understand who is now the second strongest force after the Calamity, the numbers or The flying six?

Overall I love this chapter, Oda building up the tension to the next lvl where we a audience get feel more tension for the war which waiting for us. It is now over almost 100chapters when we get our last all out battle(Luffy vs Katakuri), happy to see all strawhats probably now get their all out battles.

My hope for the Flying 6 fights:

Zoro vs. Swordsman
Sanji vs. Page One
Carrot vs. Woman
Jinbei vs. Guy next to Page One
Killer vs. Guy in Front

These would be good warm ups to fully gauge where these guys are at and push them to be ready for their individual main events.

Denjiro so wack after losing the pompadour
now even fodder to him are something special

 

[Worst]

Yeah ! I think we need to see him first!
But if he is really stronger than king! Who could take him ? Zoro ? If yes, who is gonna take King ? No one from the alliance seems to have to strenght for that! The captains SN have kaido to face! And you have BM, Smoothie and Orochi !! It's too much!!
Only answer : Marco comes and fights King.

If he's stronger than King it will take a couple of Zoros to take on him xD

What do you guys predict for the next chapter?

I can see some action at long last.

Hopefully not fodders.

@MonsterZoro Law got very cocky after mid diffing Hawkins, the third weakest Supernova. First he was trash talking Luffy and Kid and now he is trying to kick the samurai off his ship for no reason. Law better stop messing with people stronger than him

Know it's only coincidence, but the chapter before this whole coronavirus delay concern being called "the party won't start now" is funny as fuck.

Denjiro's blind faith in Kin'emon while Raizo looks on in disbelief is a new gag, but I like it.

That is a really shit plan though. It's all relying on Kaido being passed out drunk despite them knowing Kanjuro's on his way to tell them what's happened? And no mention of the slight problem of BM?

Did love the Strawhats just running off mid war preperation to attack based on Zoro's apparent super CoO booze sense just to celebrate Jinbei. Even the weakling trio made me laugh there.

Also, new M3
Joking, lol. But also not really. It is very funny that after "Oda won't push Sanji away" the very first crew fight we get with Jinbei has Sanji being relegated with the middle part of the crew.

Was thinking Killer had some clandestine mission, but Oda just hadn't been bothered to draw him yet.

As for the last bit of the chapter- quite a lot in just one double page.
-the Numbers may be dragons as well. Which is interesting considering all the questions about if Kaido is a dragon naturally, are they all the same race, are they experiments so on
-has Hiyori done something colossally brave and stupid and has snuck into the party? Shamisen player? Could be the one to free Momo if that's the case
-Kaido has a son? That's the big one. I get the impression he's a shut-in, so expectations are tempered over whether he'll be a badass or not
-the Tobi Rokko legs. Well, first of all, not really confirmation Page One is there. He could have been replaced by someone else. We've got our woman for our Nami/Robin fight, hopefully a samurai for Brook. Not much else to say about the others.

Oda didn't push sanji away, by your logic Robin is stronger than sanji, oh btw luffy is no longer a part of the m3 as he is the captain

Next chapter I expect no less than half if not the entire thing being devoted to establishing the enemy as they prepare for the fire festival.

The reveal of the Flying Six to start followed by maybe one of the Numbers. I could see Kanjuro calling in on the Den Den Mushi and Kaido and Big Mom telling him not to worry, that they have it all handled. Finally the chapter might end on another reveal cliffhanger, like Kaido's son, or maybe the crew landing on Onigashima and getting ready to bust in.

 

[Aknolagon]

If he's stronger than King it will take a couple of Zoros to take on him xD

Unless he is a one shot material for Luffy and makes Kaido angry

 

[Sievas]

Man this chapter was BIG! I loved it! I love seeing the strawhats all together again! And they just went like WOOSH yeah the port is ours they don't give a fuck just like always

disappointing though that we didn't get more explanation about Jinbeis escape from Totland :/

 

[seppuku]

Big Mom, Kaido, Kaido's son, King, Queen, Jack, Numbers, Flying Six, Smoothie, Snack, Perospero, Daifuku, Compote, other totland ministers, headliners, Mimawarigumi, Ninja Squad, countless gifters, pleasurers, waiters, the Big Mom - Beast Pirates alliance sure is stacked.

Wonder how war plays out.

 

[sanjikun]

I can't believe that Page One was one shot by Kaido's fodder son with advanced armament Haki to see if Kid is Luffy's rival after Denjiro was impressed by beating fodder.

The Flying Six seem to be a special group of individuals he gathered recently. Where as the numbers were there since decades. Would be something similar to how BM had her "Veterans", and then had people new people like Capone.

So Kaido's 2nd strongest force should be the homies that were with him since day 1, the numbers. Unless the flying six are gonna be betraying Kaido or something, then maybe they're stronger than the numbers or on par with them? But even in hype the flying six lose out to the numbers.

 

[sanjikun]

I'm trying to write a bot for random clickbait based on the latest chapter.

 

[NeutralWatcher]

So many new characters introduced in this chapter"

1. Giant lizard. Maybe he is the leader of number.

2. Flying Six. It seems Drake is not the strongest Flying Six since he is not in the front or maybe since Drake hid his strength since he is part of SWORD. There also samurai, woman and mafia type among Flying Six.

3. Kaido's son. Judging from how Kaido mentions him, he might be a shut in or he might be a rebellious type who prefers to do his own thing.

Also lol Denjiro is impressed by SH without weak trio in decimating fortress.
This reminds me when Paulie pinned Luffy in Water 7. This makes Paulie as strong as monster trio yet Paulie is weaker than Blueno who has 800~ doriki

From Luffy's speech it seems like Kaido would be the first to go down then Big Mom and Orochi is the last so Orochi as the final villain in Wano?

 

[Red Admiral]

I feel bad for Luffy ... he have no Idea

 

[Orojackson Refugee]

So, why was katakuri too shy to join the banquet? His daddy was calling him out to join in

 

[Bullet]

Good chapter but i didn't like the strawhats taking 2 Yonko as a joke hopefully they get a good ass whoping.

 

[Flower]

So, why was katakuri too shy to join the banquet? His daddy was calling him out to join in

That's right, how do we know his son is a new chara? Could be Katakuri...

no way, based on their Silhouette and personality the numbers will be just some dumb giant that'll get tag team by the fodders of the alliance
