Pretty amazing chapter

-Mood whiplash at the start where SWORD has seemingly won, but then Hibari gets frozen and suddenly they're in danger again
-Unambiguously shows that Kuzan is no longer a Marine. Shows how he joined Blackbeard and builds up intrigue concerning his actual motives
-Builds up the burned man as an interesting mystery who's a complete unknown even to Emperors of the sea
-We get to see more of the Blackbeard Pirates, and see some insight into their general ideology
-Chopper (Albeit offscreen) gets to show his skills as a doctor
-Bepo gets to actually do something really cool
-Law losing his ship and his crew feels appropriately tragic, especially with Law's dialogue at the end there

Also that color spread is super cute

 

[MarineHQ]

He joined Teach, he’s a traitor

He carried the holy Chadmiral coat on his shoulders. He'll never be thrown out ever.

 

[Lee-Sensei]

Nah it was said to be almost 2 years after his fight with akainu so basically around the time skip

Oh. I thought it was a year ago. Kuzan is still much stronger than Law and his crew though.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

He carried the holy Chadmiral coat on his shoulders. He'll never be thrown out ever.

He’s the worst admiral of the series

 

[Adam 🍎]

Aokiji is literally a dumbass lmfao

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Kuzan is 100% playing these mfs.

 

[Definitivo]

So who's on Egghead's ship?

 

[Veku]

- Neg diffed 4 Titanic captains
- Challenged Yonkou + Crew to battle
- Joined because he had nothing else to do
- Went easy on Garp

The Motherfucking Legend Aokiji

And then he was slam dunked into the ground by his mentor
Old Garp > Aokiji > Teach+ crew

 

[Adam 🍎]

Kuzan is 100% playing these mfs.

Playing how?

He literally has half BB pirates at his mercy, GARP is there and sword too, he can literally conquer the island and make BB loose A LOT and set him back decades

 

[Lee-Sensei]

Aokiji is literally a dumbass lmfao

If he's really a supporter of Blackbeard he is.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

And then was slam dunked into the ground by his mentor
Old Garp > Aokiji > Teach+ crew

Kuzan is the Page1 of admirals

 

[Toby D. Dog]

Playing how?

He literally has half BB pirates at his mercy, GARP is there and sword too, he can literally conquer the island and make BB loose A LOT and set him back decades

He has a goal.

 

[OPKnK]

Gura gura isn't even his only option, if that's the peak that he can fight with, then I don't know how Oda will make this even interesting for Luffy.

No matter his options it would be rather easy for Kuzan to break the men he already freeze or even take down some of them with him .
We have seen time and time again that BB don't like fighting if it gain him nothing or even lose men .
It easy for Oda to make that fight interesting and BB won't be handicap with having his men frozen .

 

[Yo Tan Wa]

BB is great but somehow i just don't get End game Antagonist vibes from him.

 

[Warine]

I don't think Oda will put much thoughts into aokiji's awakening, he will probably get a one shot move (by instantly icing to the core) and that's it

 

[gz89]

Mid af chapter.

 

[Warine]

Playing how?

He literally has half BB pirates at his mercy, GARP is there and sword too, he can literally conquer the island and make BB loose A LOT and set him back decades

He is playing but for something else not for the marines

 

[Adam 🍎]

He has a goal.

He has a peanut for a brain

He can atm

- Remove 3-4 of BB's captains
- Conquer his island and base of operations
- Lock up BB's fleet
- Cripple BB's operations for decades

And this motherfucker is like naaaah

 

[Cream filled donut7]

I'm pretty sure Chopper made a bunch of these drugs and gave it to the Minks (not just to Bepo) as a parting gift when they left Wano.
