Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1173 Spoilers Discussion

[Ricassian]

Please fire Bummers and make Doflamingo a Holy Knight.

 

[SDfear]

Imu about to fired Sommers for Usopp

 

[Loki D. Terror]

Damn, we won’t get Loki’s showcase until everybody else is defeated huh

Zoro and sanji will beat their opponents first in killingham and sommers. They imu will dominate everyone. Loki will then show up and get his hype against imu. Imu may even recognize loki's DF. Unfortunately we will need to wait for a month most likely for loki to flex

 

[milluki]

sounds like imu took control of gunko and had her kill her father. this fits well with the elbaf theme of ripping apart parents and children. gunko threatened colon to defeat gaban, the giant children are being stolen from their parents, loki had to kill harald. this is all building up to the death of kuma. sommers will murder him infront of bonny.

 

[Shyneseru]

Please fire Bummers and make Doflamingo a Holy Knight.

Gaban was mega glazing Harald because God knights with conqueror are op as hell. Doffy was literally begging for them to let him come back to Mariejoie. This is legit on the level of a world where the Bulls let Mj on the bench because he asked for a trade.

 

[MonochromeYoru]

To the surprise of no one

Well actually I'd say it's more of a tradeoff

Sanji gets the lion's share of the character moments between them (see: Zoro fans justifiably complaining about being hoodwinked into believing Wano would be Zoro's arc)

But when it comes to shine in combat it also isn't particularly close between them. Wano is actually a perfect example for this

Zoro goes to the rooftop -> puts up MVP numbers against Kaido -> in stasis for a bit -> fights and defeats King

Sanji gets captured by Black Maria -> saved by Robin -> helps on the live floor for a bit -> fights and defeats Queen

When it comes to how they're treated in strictly combat scenarios Zoro fans only get humbled because they have exceedingly high expectations when it comes to pretty much everything. If not for that they'd have pretty much nothing to complain about (again, combat wise... a lot of things regarding his character were left untouched in Wano because Oda took LSD while writing the ending of it)

But the problem is, all that "character development" is completely pointless when oda just turns around and makes him bleed from his nose or act perverted towards the ladies.

maybe one day oda will actually address his perversion and give him character development on that

i doubt it tho. yall are eternally stuck in mid purgatory

Problem is I don’t think oda considers the perversion as something he needs to outgrow. (Especially since you had Roger looking to kidnap and force a woman to be with him)

 

[Yamatofan1000]

Do we think there's a chance Sanji will awaken conqueror's haki this arc? With how this chapter sets up for the upcoming ones I feel like something will happen to Sanji where he might get a power-up in haki. Since the only way to defeat the holy knights is to hit them with conqueror's or more I believe, But if robin is still stuck by sommers thorns then maybe Sanji will either fight sommers and awaken something or burn off the thorns

 

[Julius]

Please fire Bummers and make Doflamingo a Holy Knight.

Non HK Sommers would beat Doffy, thats why Sommers became one

 

[Paragorn]

Doffy vs Sommers goes hard lol

 

[Jackteo]

IMU also doesn't have full control over Sherry
Maybe he will take over Sommers




I'm expecting Plan B

Or Sanji, the best vessel there is. I've never fully bought into DR Sanji, those ugly wings and horns don't fit him. Not to mention getting twice as tall
The HK tattoo on the other hand...

 

[Lor D. Coast]

the goofy and the franky will have their moment against dora and boots later

Franky's doing as much as Jinbei and Robin.
The conquerors and Hajrudin will take down the giants, Killingham and make Imu go back to marijuana. Sommers will be killed by Imu.

 

[SakazOuki]

Friendly reminder that Sanji had only one proper 1v1 fight throughout the 15 years of writing post timeskip
Zoro only two
What is this hack author even writing

Like Yasheen said I don't think Oda actually considers it a flaw... sadly

I mean clearly it doesn't bother the Japanese audience that much since he's the 3rd most popular character over there but I do think him placing behind Nami in the worldwide poll shows that internationally it isn't the same

Sucks cause I think if his gag was toned down to Brook levels he'd actually be the perfect character lol

Still love him though! Don't think that will ever change

 

[Aknolagon]

Yeah Elbaf isn't ending until we see the heaven realm.

If the Elbaf Elders are still around, maybe they might be living in the heaven realm.

Well as long you don't find a solution to beat the DR giants without killing them, then we have our "birdcage" for this arc lol.

Willingham vs Zoro and Wommers vs Sanji agenda in full effect @TheAncientCenturion @Fujishiro @Gauntlet @Halyup

Wrong, Wusopp vs Killingham.

Chance?
Sure.
0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% is still a chance.

The character development for Sanji, in that case, was him finally asking for help for something he cannot do (beating a woman). And it was an huge moment, a direct continuation of what happened in Enies Lobby and even before. For OP standard it was huge.

The fact that he still bleed out of his nose it's just his quirk, you can like it or not, but it is just that. The important thing was the fact that he finally trusted an ally, because until that point he would have sacrificed himself without even asking for help.
