Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1069 Spoilers Discussion

[CoC: Color of Clowns]

I don't hate Gear 5. I think it fits because Oda has always had Looney Tunes/slapstick like that and makes the story more optimistic instead of a violence showdown.

I'm talking about the in-universe reaction, though. Kaido smiled about it, but almost everyone else who has seen it has had a WTF expression on their face. You can't bend reality without freaking out some normies, I guess haha.

But I also wonder if this is a little deeper, like Luffy doesn't realize that he's the only one having fun. The way he approached Sentomaru all, "Hey Ax Guy!" and tried to have a conversation mid-battle... I wonder if someone (Nami?) will confront Luffy about this, since she's usually a voice of reason for him.

Yeah, the reason it doesn't bother me when Oda gets goofy. It was also supposed to be a fun, cartoonish series.

That's why Kaido's a real one: he realized how important Luffy's power-up was, and respected even though it was insane.

Great point with Luffy. He seems almost mindlessly joyful. I really want to see Nami and him interact when he's in Gear 5: it should be funny, and, hopefully, she does what you said and reasons with him about not going out of control.

Even with Gear 5, Kaido had chances to end the battle, especially when Luffy ran out of Gear 5.

Much like with Katakuri, Kaido gave Luffy a chance to prepare one final effort. Many enemies (like Blackbeard and Akainu) won't give Luffy that chance.

Cry.

Lucci got better portrayal in one chapter, than King got throughout the entirety of Wano.

Just because Luffy tards wanked Nika to be OP and could one shot commanders which he didn't do , it wouldn't mean anyone is taking ur asses seriously ,

- King has better portrayal than Lucci :

> Better Defence than Crydo
> Invisible Speed
> Beat Marco who sent Meme away
> Mid diffed RT Zoro who embrassed Crydo
> His child DNA is getting used for seraphim to be used to replace Warlords

- Lucci's portrayal :

> Getting compared to WsW who Jinbei mid diffed

 

[MarineHQ]

If Lucci actually does some serious damage to Luffy it’s gonna look terrible for certain fans
Personally I don’t think he will, near dead G5 tanked like 10 ACoC attacks from Kaido, so for Lucci to damage him he’ll have to land his best move a couple times. But this is likely no longer a 1v1 anyway, the seraphim will gang up on Luffy with Cp0

I think there's no way he ain't landing Rokuougun. Just for old time sake i think Oda is gonna do that

 

[Tai long]

I think giving other charas more panel time would be cool. But removing Luffy would be awful. He turns the story into sth funnier.

exactly. not removing fluffy entirely for a whole arc. maybe if oda reduced side characters and focused more on vital characters especially the strawhats

 

[Albino 👑]

When Zoro decided to stay behind, the main focus Oda pointed out, resolved around the fact it was a government island, suggesting that you'd never know who'd be coming, so with Kizaru coming to Egghead, guess he'd end up intercepted by Zoro, who he almost killed preskip, so most likely with Zoro wanting a pay back

With that said, Kizaru was also the only admiral we know of, who Vegapunk had a connection with(we know that Vegapunk replicated his lasers on Pacifistas), and Sentoumaru was also his subordinate in Sabaody, and thus tying him nicely into the arc i guess

Why would zoro try and stop kizaru but not lucci and kaku

 

[nik87]

Yeah, real consequences, just like that time he took Hakai, drank a medicine that would double down on that pain, saw the Grim Reaper, and then nothing happened....

Took Hakai, brought him to his limit, was done on Rooftop. Without special medicine, he literally is unable to return.
Your bwoii returned 8 times without any medicine. >muh consequences

 

[Tai long]

Yeah, but Luffy need to leave the focus of the story sometimes to let other characters develop, look to Chopper and Frankly for example, they have minimal development since the post-ts started.

it won't work the best oda should have done was rotate the deurotagonist between strawhats

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Seems to me a lot of you would rather be reading Zoro Piece. It's fine if that's the type of story you want to read but don't project those expectations cause the story has never been about that.

Berserk is a beautiful story with a similar archetype of a character in guts. But that's not what One Piece is. It never has been, it never will.

 

[Tai long]

It is a good point when people say that after the timeskip a lot of the straw hats don't get enough screen time or development. But I cringe when people claim Zoro should be the main character (Mind you Zoro is my second favorite character).

nah zoro doesn't fit the theme of one piece. But oda should have fleshed him out more as the second most important character

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Just because Luffy tards wanked Nika to be OP and could one shot commanders which he didn't do , it wouldn't mean anyone is taking ur asses seriously ,

> Lucci's portrayal :

Lmao, King follows a Yonko because he admires his strength. Lucci attacked a Yonko while defying explicit orders from the higher ups, not to.

Oda gave King these cool powers, and made his ass a cheerleader, lmao.

 

[SakazOuki]

The chances of Dragon arriving and ending the arc are high now. Probably needs him for this.

Problem is Kambaka is pretty far from Egghead, Kuma teleportation was the only reasonable choice for Dragon to appear

I think there's no way he ain't landing Rokuougun. Just for old time sake i think Oda is gonna do that

That could definitely be the case. Also, when you think about it Kaido’s ACoC hits didn’t do a lot of damage but what fucked Luffy was the Boro Blast and Hakiless wind slashes, so Lucci does have the right tools to deal good damage

 

[Dark-Abel]

I really want to see Nami and him interact when he's in Gear 5:

Nami hitting Luffy in Gear 5 and hurting him like always would be great

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Took Hakai, brought him to his limit, was done on Rooftop. Without special medicine, he literally is unable to return.
Your bwoii returned 8 times without any medicine. >muh consequences

Drank the medicine that was said to have dire consequences, and faced.... Zero consequences.... Lmao.

 

[Tai long]

I really like odas potrayal of lucci makes me look forward to seeing more of luffys past villains especially the tall trio (croc, enel and doffy)

 

[IIskandar1997]

Still ruiminating over the nature of DFs and my conclusion so far is that there is definitely a lot more to it that Vega doesnt know, like why do people wishes manifest especifically as fruits, instead of them just getting the powers themselves? why are they so uncommon outside of the grand line? why does the sea judges it unnatural if, based on this explnation, they are absolutely a natural phenomenom? and what about the whole lineage factor stuff that allows science to replicate them? Nah, this has to be only the tip of the iceberg

 

[MarineHQ]

Only because Lucci one shot Sento doesn't mean he's trash. He is solid Scabbard/Vet level. Lucci is just that good.

 

[Albino 👑]

If lucci also ends up having conquerors i think we can all agree that king is ass

 

[Lee Ba Shou]

Lucci's portrayal :

> Getting compared to WsW who Jinbei mid diffed

So you going to act like Lucci just didn’t just have an extended scuffle with Nika? Lol

 

[Toby D. Dog]

nah zoro doesn't fit the theme of one piece. But oda should have fleshed him out more as the second most important character

Zoro is the dark horse of One Piece. He kinda does his own thing. More than the second most important character in terms of plot, he is there because oda thinks he's cool.

 

[Flower]

exactly. not removing fluffy entirely for a whole arc. maybe if oda reduced side characters and focused more on vital characters especially the strawhats

And focus more on their goals. Like, we could have had an Usopp Haki Training chapter or a Chopper medicine chapter. Because so far only Luffy and maybe Zoro are about to fulfill theirs. And Robin and Franky since their goal is basically to reach Laugh Tale.
