One Piece Chapter 1000: Straw Hat Luffy

[Kuruka]

This chapter setting up heavily that luffy will be the one who defeats kaido as always...not zoro.

 

[WesMidnight]

Ace's flashback was actually pretty great.
Not only did it reaffirm his faith in Luffy, but him unknowingly saying he was impressed by his father's words and would want a drink with me choked me up a bit.

Luffy was amazing in this chapter, calmly dodging Kaido's attack and lighting Kaido up, only to calmly reset his Strawhat afterwards.

 

[Rocks D. Buggy]

Respect Marco.


Told it too many times, he is at least stronger than every First Mate except maybe Beckmen

People say this is underwhelming for 1000 but the chapter has HUGE implications for the EoS.

The fact that Ace is separating and reaffirming Luffy's dream NOT just being PK, but this other, seemingly bigger dream is super important. Its something Roger even wanted to do.

Its something that also truly supports the idea that Laugh Tale/Luffy becoming PK/Finding One Piece is NOT the end of the series. Its not Luffy's final goal. It's what he does with that goal to achieve his actual, true goal in the series.

 

[Kuro Ashi]

Killer the unheralded winner of this chapter tbh, given how he’s been (unjustly) slaughtered so much.

I think you’ll find that’s the five strongest Worst Gen on the roof, bar Blackbeard

This line up might in part be for symbolism, to have the "not quite Yonko yet" Luffy and Kidd have their First Mates support them in this initial clash with the Yonko Big Mom and Kaido for the 1000th milestone One Piece chapter.

It's likely Toppling the World Government

We knew all that though

why would Luffy care about that at that age?

It certainly is symbolism, but that’s still symbolism strong enough for me to put Killer above the others

 

[Midnight Delight]

why would Luffy care about that at that age?

Because Oda is gonna retcon his character into Pirate Jesus

 

[Indigo]

Because Oda is gonna retcon his character into Pirate Jesus

Kishimoto style

 

[Blother Fertitta]

Yamato made the Ace Vivre Card which he gave to Luffy in Alabasta. Amazing how some way Yamato was connected with Luffy before they even met.

Not in this way though. It explicitly shows that PK here is an endgame means to achieve something else. We just assumed it was the case. Hence why I said "reaffirmed" it.

 

[Akuma_Law]

The chapter reminded us of how badass Luffy can get when he finally faces the arc villains

 

[WesMidnight]

Because Oda is gonna retcon his character into Pirate Jesus

It's hardly a retcon if it was in the works over 400 chapters ago.

Nah, Ace/Sabo laughed at the idea. Its something more ridiculous. @playa4321 mentioned a theory about literally buying the world with One Piece to make it free. Destroying the WG/defeating Blackbeard is just yet another goal to that process.

 

[Kuro Ashi]

It certainly is symbolism, but that’s still symbolism strong enough for me to put Killer above the others

I don't know if it's meant entirely as such when comparing him as a subordinate supporting a Captain on top, vs other Captains that don't get to be on top.

Anyway, i do think that Killer will make a much stronger impression than he did in the first Wano acts now that he's back on the right track in every way, and if i were to guess i would find it fairly likely that he's indeed in the upper half of the Supernova in terms of strength.

When the people who do the LQ English speed scan don't have a good grasp of English grammar and spelling:

 

[Akuma_Law]

PEOPLE I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR THESE WONDERFUL TIMES. I LOVE YOU ALL.

this chapter is a 10/10 and not bc the chapter is mindblowing, but bc its for the monumental reason that we made it to chapter 1000.

happy new year everybody

True words :cheers:

Do you not think that Drake, Apoo, and Hawkins will show up later?
