id say roger is slightly stronger
Personally thought it was decent chapter. Only downside was that it was short.
Somethings I found very interesting though were:
1. Oden’s comments with regards to selfishly going back to claim the title of Shogun even though he illegally left the country with Roger & the fact that Wano has always been closed off from the world.
- People are not so open to change, especially something that has been preserved for so long and then it doesnt help that the person pushing for it is someone that has broken those rules. So there had have to have been more than a few folks that were opposed to Oden as Shogun. In which case, I can kinda see how Orochi fits into the puzzle. I’ll always wondered how Orochi fits into the picture and how he was able to overthrow Oden even though he seemed to have been loved by most.
2. Orochi’s executives
and Kyoshiro staying behind in the capital.
- On Kyoshiro, I cant shake the feeling that he’s going to do something rebellious 😂 . I personally want Oda to keep him as an antagonist (albeit one in the grey zone) particularly for Zoro but seeing as he was left out off Onigashima where all the action is going to be happening, you have to wonder. But then again, chances are that Hiyori has been captured. In which case he might have been left behind to watch over her. So Zoro v Kyoshiro is still in the works 🙏🏿
- We finally get introduced to Orochi’s top brass. It was always obvious that Kyoshiro & Fuku were two of them but then now the Mimawarigumi Leader & the Monk are pretty much confirmed as two more. Again guys & girls, notice the circular pattern on the Monk & the Mimawarigumi leader’s kimonos. It is very apparent that this is a pattern Oda is using for Orochi’s subordinates. Again, Neko has a similar pattern😉
3. Not gonna lie, Kinemon seemed a bit too dramatic for me this chapter 😓 tho I understand why he feels that way. I did like the way Oda had Oden go on about opening the borders of Wano with his reliable retainers at the beginning of the chapter & then had Inuarashi prepare the only usable boat they could find to sail towards Onigashima with the scabbards even tho things look dire atm at the end.
Lastly gotta give props to Orochi for whatever he did to fck the alliance temporarily. The man is competent even if he’s weak.

so yh maybe not as high on the ladder as the likes of Fuku, the Mimawarigumi Leader & Kyoshiro. Still I’m happy we’re getting a monk 😁
Ok, here is my theory regarding the chapter: it was a trap and Orochi beat them to the punch.
We already knew some chapter back that Orochi found out about the invasion plan and the meeting point.
At the port, the weather is bad and there is a storm, and the ships are all destroyed. I'm starting to think that Kaido himself could have been waiting for them at the port, and annihilated them on the night before. This is just my theory, but the storm could have a been a result of one of Kaido's attacks in his dragon form. We know that Kaido in his dragon form can breathe fire (Boro Breath), but the east Asian dragon is also commonly known to bring about thunderstorms and tsunamis in Asian mythology, since they were said to be able to swim and control the weather. Its obviously not Big Mom's doing since Zeus is still with nami right now. And in the capital where Orochi is at, the weather is still fine, so obviously the storm isn't an natural occurence.
Chances are that Kaido was waiting for them the night before and attacked. Luffy is probably still in prison and might not have even broken free yet since Orochi already knew about the plan, he would have known of Luffy eventual planned rebellion and escape. The only question I have left right now is what happedned to Law and the rest of the Straw Hat crew? Were they also captured, or did they escape?
