Chapter Discussion ONE PIECE CHAPTER 982: SCOUNDREL MEETS SCOUNDREL

[Celestial D. Dragon]

So Tama said nothing to him about how Kaidou is wrecking shit at the island and that's why they live in a shithole starving

Probably not. If she did, then Ace would have went to fight Kaido right then and there, because that's the type of person he is. He wouldn't have just left the island had he known what the cause was.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

Still underestimated Luffy, at least that's how I felt when I was watching the arc

He underestimated him yeah but that's coz the dumb luck on Luffy's side can't actually be predicted

Remember he made a deal with fujitora to have fujitora capture the strawhats. That was a done deal

Then Luffy's brother happened to be the revolutionary commander and a lot of random thing happened to lead to the toys being turned back to human and then fujitora changed his mind because fujitora happened to be the nice admiral

Like a lot of dumb luck

Same as in Wano with the whole kin'emon accidentally saving the alliance due to dumb kuck

 

[JerAx]

This is Cinderace, you haven't been following Pokemon for a while, right?

lol u know he has his version of "protean" right?
I almost took the bait and buy SWSH, thank god I didnt

 

[NeutralWatcher]

Wasn't it Tengu who told Luffy about Kaido? Ace might have not met Tengu so Ace didn't know about Kaido.

Tama is also not the type of person to complain.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

I guess if people tried to dig deep into it, and theorize on what he could possibly have sent in his message, then they could consider it wasting their time. But isn't theorizing in One Piece half the fun? 99.9 percent of the time we're all wrong anyways.

But that's the waste of time part

The message wasn't anything

It's not that we were wrong about what the message was, it's that the message WASNT ANYTHING TO BEGIN WITH

oh sorry, I just watched anime

 

[ShadyOjiro]

Wait a second
That Message that was intended for Luffy says "I will be late"
So Marco was planning to come all along, he just wanted to take care of Weevil first

Fake tension Bru.

 

[Daikenki]

This guy who stabbed his henchmen for talking back to him is now like this,

Who could have thought lmao

 

[DarkWitch]

I hope next chapter reveals Ulti's devil fruit.

 

[zzShinichi]

Let's be honest people. Oda's been trolling the fandom for years. Is anyone REALLY that surprised that the note read "I'll be late"?

More like Oda changed his mind and decided to involve Marco in this

 

[bennbeckman]

I think Sanji is running into Drake forsure

 

[ShadyOjiro]

That Tank ....

The cannonball didn't bounce ...

OP tank.

Frankly

 

[Monster Luffy]

So Tama said nothing to him about how Kaidou is wrecking shit at the island and that's why they live in a shithole starving

Lol why would she say ? She didn't complain anything about it even to Luffy. Besides, Ace is a pirate not some hero. It is not as if he vowed to save all the islands. I bet Ace won't even know about Oden

 

[Kurodiamondo]

Dang.Now that i want to now full picture of sasaki's tattoo

 

[The Dark Flame]

So Tama said nothing to him about how Kaidou is wrecking shit at the island and that's why they live in a shithole starving

Seems kind of unreasonable to expect a four year old to explain the politics of her country don’t you think?

 

[januarysdaughter]

So Tama said nothing to him about how Kaidou is wrecking shit at the island and that's why they live in a shithole starving

And what was Ace supposed to do about it? Try to summon the entire Whitebeard fleet to go into a fellow Yonko's territory and start wrecking shit? That doesn't appear to be how the Yonko work - if it was, I'm sure Kaido and Big Mom would have been invading Wano/Totoland for years given their animosity toward each other.

 

[silverfire]

I hope the Marco expalantion isn't all.

Because that would be stupid as well as Neko or Inu could have contacted the WBs easily and Ace was actually there

I could see some elaboration but it seems pretty simple to me.

Wano is a closed country, so no one knows what’s going on inside it, which kaido and orochi have greatly taken advantage of.

Oden deliberately didn’t want to get anyone else involved, he viewed it as his own mess which he had to clean up, which ended up being a terrible decision. Him even actively preventing WB or the Roger pirates from getting news about kaido wouldn’t surprise me.

It’s necessary for the plot. In theory he could’ve asked for both WB and Roger’s help, and kaido and his whole crew would’ve been history in less than an hour.

Ace was a random teenage pirate at the time. And if he begged WB to go save every set of oppressed citizens he came across, they’d be spending their entire lives on it.

 

[Kurodiamondo]

I think marco has some preparation before coming to wano like making a sign written with "i'm in wano -marco" for weevil

 

[januarysdaughter]

Oden deliberately didn’t want to get anyone else involved, he viewed it as his own mess which he had to clean up, which ended up being a terrible decision. Him even actively preventing WB or the Roger pirates from getting news about kaido wouldn’t surprise me.

Yes, and with Izo being a member of WB's crew, he likely had the same thought.

"Please, Pops. Oden doesn't want anyone else involved. Wano is our business."

 

[Sakura no Hiluluk]

Great chapter. Hopefully, it'll change some minds regarding who the Tobi Roppo will fight in this arc. But I can't wait to see those who have consistently trashed the BMP reacting to the BP being depicted as clowns.
