Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 981 : "Engagement"

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.

Alliance is losing anyway at onigashima
Maroc is here to save Luffy and Kidd by helsing them when they get clubbed or trashed

 

[Sadistic Senpai]

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

All 6 are above him, this chapter confirmed it for me!

Marco's speech doesn't mean they won't enter Onigashima and participate during the battle, they will probably go through the secret entrance next time. If Oda didn't want the BMP to participate during the war then he shouldn't have brought Big Mom and her crew in the fist place, this is going to be a huge war in which many characters including the BMP are going to be involved.

Allaince is loosing ? I honestly can't see that happening. They practically burned their ships. There is no going back. They either win or most of them die and the rest get shepherded to Udon for the rest of their lives.

I agree. Apoo's strength comes from the mystery of his DF. Plus it doesn't seem like it does insane damage. Luffy, Kid and Zoro have all been hit by it now and they all seem fine.

I reckon any of the F6, granted they're aware of how his power works, would deal with him quite comfortably.

 

[BangOO🍅]

There's only one BM in the verse for me and that's the former

Jokes aside what do you have of Black Maria? She looked superbe in this chap

LOL i never think oda would pull that "thing" to add feats to Black Maria. But i like it tho.

 

[Zenos7]

kidd telling apoo he is garbage was the best thing this chapter. Straight hilarious and savage.

Also, some foreshadowing of chopper defeating big mom @PeperLevi @Topi Jerami @HA001

Marco pretty much told them they won't make it in time. I'm not making this shit up. Did you read that panel? It's not what I want to happen but in my opinion that was Oda telling us those guys won't participate in the war.

 

[Kami no Tenteki]

To everyone that said Luffy doesn't actually have FS because Appo landed a hit on him last chapter or he needed Zoro's remark about Appo's upcoming attack, hold this L!

Average chapter. Marco's entrance was the peak of it. And there was some funny interaction between the four WG. I think the other WGs will gradually be added and all will be at the same place when they reach kaido. That seems to be the direction the story goes for the first part of the war.

I don't feel comfortable with Oda and BM in this arc, .... or any other arc for that matter. There're a lot of ways story can get worse with her in this arc and very few ways to not get worse.

And what was with that arrow Luffy blocked for kidd from the BP guy? They explode?

 

[SinOfGreed]

Who's Who doesn't care about the infiltrators (Luffy, Zoro, Kid, Killer). So we can scratch Who's Who vs Zoro.

I think Denjiro might end up bumping into him at some point. Denjiro vs Who's Who and Jinbe vs Sasaki.

 

[Red Admiral]

Kidd : you betray me!!

Apoo : bitch you want us to fight Shanks , I saved your life!

 

[NeutralWatcher]

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

Without cheating Apoo is too strong for most high tiers.

High durability(got up after Kidd's named attack)+attack that bypass blocking+attack range that is based the range you can still hear sound. Apoo can make it to YC if he knows armament or observation haki or awakening. Or Apoo might be at YC level already.

after finding yamato, he might be interested in the infiltrators.

Apoo would lose to any character with mid durability and high fighting IQ. Once you learn how his DF works, you can beat him down.

I think it's more likely he goes directly for Queen. I think a different F6 member will find Yamato so he'll just say fk it and go straight for Queen.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

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

Oda reminding us about Pirate Alliances

But law said "no" and I'm like luffy so I believe him.
My boy law ain't a snitch nor a fooking traitor.

Even if you know you need to cover your ears which is a great nerf if you fight with hands or weapons that require hands to use that weapon.

Of course :p I think every F6 is destined to fight hehehehe just like it happened with CP9

6 F6 members, 10 SH's. Who do you think will be fighting them?

 

[Formerly Seth]

Pirate alliances don't have happy endings.
Law traitor theory becomes real soon?

 

[yorosenpai]

Big Mom's crew confirmed as the opponent in Elbaf for me !

What a great chapter. We get to see Apoo, who seems to be more of a broken man that I'd have thought (which is probably why Kidd considers him trash). We understand his power better, get to have a good look at a Number - he looks kind of dumb but in a funny way, at least.

Big Mom's make-up is just the worst in the best way.

Please no, Dont bring back Big Mom, I have enough of this Yonko joke... like all that incompetent crew...! I am up for a Zoro vs Katakuri though
