Chapter Discussion One Piece - Chapter 981 : "Engagement"

[HA001]

I had faith all time so far,and was worth the wait. Chopper is the very first to get his time to shine.
Now that Chopper was the first to meet Linlin after be tied with her in plot for so long,he can have his own battle against her,which will bring a lot for him: Fix his lack of content in New World,turns real his words of be powerful as a monster,prove once and for all that he isn't the weak and boring little animal that so many peoples think,prove that he really is a Top Tier character,and bring back his former greatness and popularity as character in the New World's standarts.

BMP need a guide on how not to get pushed down a waterfall now. This is ridiculous.

 

[Kishido]

As amazing as Marco is I still can get over the BM pirates

This is PIS as hell.

First why haven't they climbed the waterfall days before as the alliance is known for a week at least

Second why do they even climb the waterfall and didn't get the info about the other entrance.. we are talking about the know best informed Yonkou crew

Third... What will stop them once Marco moves away to simply climb that waterfall again. I doubt Marco will stay there for hours

 

[Finalbeta]

Damn good chapter, can't for next week and there is no break next week
:cheers:

Yes no break next week. I wonder if this will be kept for the one after too.

Yes that was pure plot convenience and handicap.
Plus the BMP had powers that could have allowed them to get over the waterfall and enter Wano territory.
And it would be cringeworthy if we don't the see the alliance between the Beast Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates in action and some dialogues and frictions between the members of the two Yonko crews.

What's the trouble with you?
You criticize how Oda use Chopper,but now that he got a spotlight,you act as the haters and underestimate him?

Looking at Big Mom is not spotlight lol

 

[Ace]

Marco gonna spend the rest of the arc just trolling the BMP

There is a difference between "Oda using Chopper in a good way" and "Chopper defeating a Yonkou in battle".
If you can't see that, I'm going to assume you're a troll and just move on.

 

[Ganja userr]

What do you think are the chancaes the plan succeed now that Marco is in wano, or do you guys think it will still fail?

Man the alliance is getting too stacked. It's not like BM has her entire crew here.

Well she lacks Katakuri who is worth Smoothie + Cracker alone :3

Now that's just seemingly Beast Pirates in Onigashima, I think the plan will succeed.

I'm not talking about Chopper defeat her. I'm talking about a battle equal to Luffy vs Franky,without conclusion,but where both sides does great. That's the minimum Oda can do with Chopper at this point.

Hell yeah bruh,
Chopper is already top tier tank with his durability shitting all over Sanji's tanking Yonko's attack

About time he surpassed Chopper's AP as well

We might not even get Smoothie. Marco said "When you get up here, a new era will be born" or some shit like that.

 

[Buusatan94]

Things look too good for the alliance right now, I expect something to happen that will start to make things really serious or dire for them.

Interesting that a Number "wont" be promoted to a F6 or at least its implied to be (indicating they are separate category from the headliners/All-Stars all-together). I don't think it means they are weaker or stronger, but it is interesting nonetheless. I assume they are Kaido's "family" though.

I really like the idea that Kaido and his "family" (The Numbers) are all just gigantified children from Punk Hazard. They all share the Oni-Giant horns, and Kid' comment this chapter really implies they were set to be larger than normal giants (like the Oni Giants). It would be a nice circle back to Punk Hazard overall. They all probably have devil fruits too.

Either BM broke Kaido and the Numbers out or Yamato is their child (both can imply that Kaido "owes" her in some way). The 2 big theories I have on that atm.

The BMP could have climbed the waterfall a long time ago if Oda just let them use their powers such as Mont d'Or using his books to carry himself and his siblings above the waterfall, Daifuku creating a huge Genie to lift and carry the Queen Mama Chanter or Perospero creating a candy road or a giant escalator or even giant spider legs made of candy for the Queen Mama Chanter to escalate it.
