Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1176 Spoilers Discussion

[ZenZu]

Lol cooked manga. There are real life human beings who hype this author in 2026, sad world.

 

[Devilbat]

I need a better manga to pick up now.

What kind of mangas do you like? Is there anything you really enjoyed in the past?

 

[pg13]

Sanji Vs Killingham…… hmmmmm That must mean Zoro will join Loki and Luffy to fight Gunko/IMU at some point.

 

[TheD.]

Killingham is warcurys boy👀

 

[Yoho]

Like is it so crazy to ask to feel like the SHs accomplished something crazy instead of just waltzing there and lol diffing everyone?

The only way that's gonna happen is if Luffy is incapacitated some how

 

[Welkin]

I want my fucking villains to do shit, they literally did nothing but get rekt since the flashback ended. What happened prior doesnt matter because the SHs and co werent involved. I want some fucking stakes when the SHs surmount seemingly crazy odds.

Idk on one hand I hear this but I can’t help but remember how many people complained about Egghead for being nothing like current Elbaf

Actually… people complained about early Elbaf for the same reasons. If the Strawhats are on the backfoot then their development feels unearned and according to some people they don’t feel like a Yonko crew

But if they’re capable of taking on the threats then apparently the villains are no longer threatening and there are no stakes

So where’s the line?

Egghead was problematic because it was an escape arc.

 

[Hako Sama]

Once again, the tension was hostages. No one can do anything if Sommers is going to kill said hostages the moment someone tries something. So they *have* to lose control of the hostages or everyone's just sitting on their asses.

what tension man, everyone in the world knew they would be saved, its children bro.

 

[Fujishiro]

That shouldnt be the case.

 

[ice-flo]

Jinbei vs KKKillinham soon

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

I want actual stakes and tension. I want good writing. I want good fights.

If half of the crew was still captured and the hostages still were out of reach, I bet $5 you would be whining the heroes are too incompetent then.

Until the hostage situation was resolved...no one can really *do* anything. You can whine all you like, but that's the truth.

 

[Bad English]

I want actual stakes and tension. I want good writing. I want good fights.

 

[Luffy is the mc]

I want actual stakes and tension.

He's saying there never was any tension in OP.
He's got a point. Aside from the end of the pre ts, there never was any tension indeed. And that was only to set up the TS.

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

what tension man, everyone in the world knew they would be saved, its children bro.

And did you think the Birdcage was going to kill children and the elderly?

So where’s the line?

I think the biggest issue is that oda wrote the story in a way where tension only exists when he makes the stronger straw hats disappear from the arc. It makes things tense, but it’s hard to ignore the thought “once the others show up everything will be fine.”

 

[Johnny B. Decent]

The hostages were saved instantly.

...And? Does it honestly matter if we wasted a chapter or two with Sommers making evil orgasm faces while Luffy grits his teeth until Gunko's arrows makes them walk off the cloud?

 

[ice-flo]

Knowing oda KKKillinham will have a change of heart after hearing the DRUMS OF LIBERATION.
Gunko and KKKillinham will side with Sun god luffy

 

[Yoho]

That shouldnt be the case.

It's either that or give the other strawhats a boost so they aren't helpless without him

 

[PuckTheGreat]

Why is nobody talking about Zeus&Nami taking an L

How did he even lose lol he's a bloody cloud
Not being able to deal damage is one thing but except he met his antithesis or something not sure why he's getting fodderized by Kirignham's monsters

 

[Etemenanki]

Boss jinbei to KKKillinham soon. Hope and pray for SAnji that he doesn’t get packed

So sorry for the blue sushi, but Monster Trio full
