Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 981 : "Engagement"

[NeutralWatcher]

No. He just don't need to take of the glasses for fodders

So he had glasses before MF? He didn't have it during Oden's flashback.

He had contact lenses before.

What for? They'll win anyway

Makes sense.

he studied and became a doctor

I thought he was a doctor of WB Pirates since the start.

 

[PrinceKun]

Really Sanji

 

[OmegaPsyche]

Which never happens if you plug your ears Lol, his DF is rendered useless if you put a plug Lol

Based on whut nonsense is this based on? LMAO

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Marco's words about the "age changing" by the time they make it up there, it gave me the chills, it felt like "the ending of an era, the beginning of a new era is about to happen soon"

The man has literal regeneration powers, but can't regenerate his eye sight

The Divorced Dad glasses energy fits him great tho so I hope it's permanent lol

Maybe Oda designed it to separate between pre TS Marco and post TS Marco and Marco is a doctor so glasses suits him.

Based on this chapter itself, what the fuck did you read this chapter!

- Killer: Cover your ears!

- Kidd/Zoro/Luffy not affected by an attack when it happens!

Apoo annoyed: Tch!

Killer: explains the ability completely!

You just need to plug your ears, and not allow his music to reach your ears! And his DF becomes completely useless against you!

 

[SmokedOut]

Sanji just bagged Moonflower, idk why he's chasing hoes

Oda reminding us about Pirate Alliances

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Really Sanji

Let's be honest, we all love some bitches Lmao

 

[NeutralWatcher]

Why didn't Apoo use explosion attack that made Luffy fainted? Would make the fight much easier. Is there a limit/drawback to that attack?

That's a very very easy counterattack lol. But damn, you'd essentially be screwed if you didn't know his df

@TheAncientCenturion @Jiihad
Looool King in his Beast Form knocked down the Chanter, with Big Mom on board, but Marco in his hybrid mode had to use a named attack to accomplish the same thing on the ship w/o BM.

King >> Marco confirmed?

Marco fans can't accept this yet.
Zoan King has more AP than Hybrid or Zoan Marco
Anyway King >=G3~Marco in AP

Bringing ear plugs to the battle is cheating lol. If you cover your ears while fighting it is a great nerf. Now imagine Luffy who always fight with his hands has to cover his ears. He cannot attack with his hands and the majority of Luffy attacks that need to be used with his hands too like G3, Red Hawk, etc.

They're pirates lol. I don't think that cheats would out of character. Luffy also sometimes uses whatever means necessary. Most of them don't have a moral code, but there are clear outliers

 

[Jo_Ndule]

Even though it was cool seeing Marco again, I wish that Oda found a more original way to bring him to the Wano arc instead of repeating the same thing that he did with King.

Because Marco and King are just copy and paste

They aren't special so Oda can make both have the same feat or entrance lol
:::
1. Marco was introduced with Jozu
King was introduced with Queen
2. Marco is recruited by Shanks
King is recruited by BM for his race
3. Hybird or zoan Marco kick BM ship with a named attack
Zoan King kick BM ship

Next up...

I feel like Oda paralles YC1/RH/VC :
Kata with Oden... Invincible hyped Comanders
Marco with King
Benn and Ray, smart blonde VCs

• Kidd dura and endurance is good
• Kidd AP is great, he did more to Apoo in one blow than Apoo did to him.
• Apoo is indeed mid high tier.
• Apoo df can be countered by skilled fighters who can produced earbuds or those who wear headphones/cover their ears already.
• I like how Zoro, Luffy, Kidd and Killer have better chemistry than most people already.
  The top 2 captains and Underlings among SNs.
• So BM wasn't told about the port, BMP getting sidelined so that alliance get chance to survive at Onigashima
• Pero beef with King
• Marco AP is below King, they both range so far around g3.
• Number 10 (might be low high tier), 8 9 7 6 are top vet, 5 4 3 2 1 are just vets
• WhoWho and Sasaki have been more interesting than king... The background calamity

Hopefully Oda make BMP get back up fast

They won't get up in time. Marco pretty much told them by the time they get up the era would have changed. That little speech was the highlight of the chapter for me. Oh and Izou commenting Marco hasn't been fighting since the war.

Exactly, but this is why I think Flying 6 were regarded as stronger, I think they all know about his ability, so I feel he doesn't have enough strength by martial arts alone (disregarding his DF) to beat one of them without using his fruit

I think in terms of close combat, it's more likely that an ancient Zoan like Drake or Pageone would get the better of Apoo if they rendered his fruit useless by plugging their ears

So, I believe they already know how it works, and it's why he's ranked below them

 

[Red Admiral]

bitch I fought admirals , you think this is hard for me?​

 

[Jo_Ndule]

Lol, and people last chapter were reaching saying Apoo > Katakuri when the guy can nullify him just by putting mochi in his ears Lmao

Some dudes just can't get it that Everyone from beast pirates is staying at the power level he deserved!
All Flying 6 > Apoo

Just put a plug in your ears and his ability is useless

Oda after only one chapter of people overhyping him, he killed him completely, buried his ability by just "cover your ears Lmao"

Imagine thinking flyers beat Apoo..
Except who who and Sasaki, Apoo is above them

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

Sanji just bagged Moonflower, idk why he's chasing hoes

Oda reminding us about Pirate Alliances

Sanji getting that ass Lol

Sidenote:
I'm so happy Sanji is separated from Nami

He will not be sacrificing his body to Nami anytime soon, so he can fight better now against whoever shows up!
We're about to see Sanji and Kinemon leading the forces against some strong combatant soon



Another important plot is "Nami and Shinobu headed for Momo!"

This is important because I have been saying that "Shinobu has the mature mature DF" so she will be hige plot for making Momo Mature and get to adult age, so that he gets shit done this arc following his father's footsteps

We're about to see Beastly Adult Momo


When that shit happens, all people who hates this idea, and all people who don't like Momo, they will all demand that he joins the SHs Lol
