These people have the reading comprehension of Rootbeer, I just can't describe it better than this.
- Lucci appears and hits Sentomaru
- We get an old opponent that Luffy struggled to defeat in the past
- Luffy goes Gear 5
- Luffy defeats Lucci easily, showing how much stronger Luffy has gotten
- Kizaru appears and goes after SHs and Vegapunk
- We get Sabaody vibes from this situation
- Luffy goes Gear 5
- Luffy defeats Kizaru, showing how much stronger Luffy has gotten and how an admiral is not an obstacle to his journey anymore
- Saturn appears and tries to kill Bonney and other SHs
- Flashback about Bonney and Kuma that foreshadows Nika liberating them from oppression
- Luffy goes Gear 5
- Luffy defeats Saturn and liberates both Kuma and Bonney, this causes the Egghead incident that will shock the world
Indeed. The only logical conclusion is Oda is doing a really long and dull setup to hype how strong Saturn is.
I am sure there's something in 1098 that's extremely terrible. Saturn knows about Bonney and Kuma, so does DeskAkainu.
I hope that's the conclusion chapter and we get to see what the fuss was all about and then we return to massive hype cliffhanger last page, or half chapter of something happening.
1099 Luffy / Nika smiles, wins the battle ... yay
1100 Dragon appears and we get more backstory or just some discussion & clarity on the backstory.
Then we have 13 chapters that lead up to the One Piece revelation. Just info reveal. Wonder how Shanks is involved since he was getting ready. That's also a good opportunity for more Buggy screentime and return to the series. Even BB's time to show up.
Chapter 1098 expectations:
- Revs vs Marines
- Kuma is sort of a Batman character at this point with dark past. Is pissed of at Dragon he lost Ginny and Ginny is in a terrible tortured state.
- Kuma infiltrates/makes a contract with the marines by becoming a warlord.
- In the present Bonney yells for help.
- Kuma appears for dramatic effect
- Luffy gets up
