Should I complain about this chapter? or try and find the silver lining here. Meh i'll go for the latter. This really has me looking forward to seeing how future Admiral Koby stacks up.

The Yonkou saga ends. Cringe. I'll admit I had exceptionally high hopes for Wano. Kaido and the Beast Pirates fired my imagination. But as the arc wore on, the story no longer interested me. Honestly I got bored. The more Oda attempted to subvert expectations and be unpredicatble with his...

Nice. The text spoilers made it out to be far worse . Turns out I really enjoyed this chapter (well, the scans at least). Far more than I expected. The balls on Oda to turn a grim monster-like villain into a looney toon style jump rope and punching bag. Only Oda would do this. Say what you...

As everyone else has pointed out, its something to do with his fire. Also his SM Gimp attire could be a dead giveaway. Queen noted he is a 'torture-loving freak'. Perhaps King goes both ways. He's into torturing others and also enjoys self-torture. Specifically his power is a form of 'Pain...

Finally realised why Marco was sweating bullets here. His regeneration requires the blue flame to burn his wounds. Peros's candy arrow not only will pierce him but smother his flames and since they don't really burn, his fatal wound isn't regenerating and that's it for poor Marco. Oh yes. Great...

Another situation where the chapter is far better than the initial spoilers suggest. Since neither Zoro nor Sanji interest me in any major way, these past few chapters of Zoro vs Sanji discussion bored me equally whichever character got the spotlight. So, Robin got a good showing after a near...

Awesome parallels drawn between Alvida/Coby and BigMom/Kaidou. Definitely feels like Oda went back to draw more inspiration to beef up these two Yonkou antagonists. To be honest never saw Coby related to Kaidou in this manner before lmao.

oh fuxk...forgot to log off

Finally a chapter worth commenting on. Kaidou is confirmed to be a pain-loving tank. The Kenpachi parallels. It's made even more explicit here. He's enjoying himself immensely. I for one am happy that he's getting this portrayal which was always on the cards. The earlier times when he seemed...

...Wow. Mind-blown Guess that rules out Kaidou as a natural born Dragon then. But, really, to think Oda left readers a big fat hint during the intro to Wano with that reference to Carp that scale the waterfall becoming Dragons, based on real-world Chinese and Japanese myths. Colour me...

Since there is no Break next week (confirmed right?) Looks like Oda is setting up 999 and perhaps chapter 1000 from hereon end. Strange place to suddenly have the last Tobi Roppo reveal their DF powers and seemingly setting up match-ups. Kudos to everyone who guessed Who's Who's fruit...

The issue with the Vivre card was that it was fans who thought it foreshadowed the alliance bwteen BM and Luffy. It didn't happen (maybe it will...dont care). My point is Oda has prior in laying out plothooks and Chekhov's Guns all over the place that lead to fan theories. But the execution...

On the same boat when it comes to Zoro vs Kaidou. He's gonna slash him like no-one else has done since Oden. But he isn't killing Kaidou. That scalp is just too big for the subordinate of the future PK. The fall of a Yonkou is majorly world-shaking in its implications. I feel if Kaidou has to...

Eh...The problem with the whole set-up is that it wasn't just telegraphed, Oda and his team shouted it from the rooftops. Even the One Piece Magazine hinted that Ryuma's legend will potentially be recreated. I mean, sure if that's what Oda intends. But making allusions every other chapter? Feels...

That is why I find it unlikely that Kaidou gets permanently defeated by Luffy and co - at least till the Marines come. Whatever these things are, the best way to hype them up is to show how they really fare against a Yonkou or two.
