ONE PIECE CHAPTER 1038: BIG MOM VS KID AND LAW

[ArturCantSpeakJapanese]

Amazingly, Kid is doing more damage to BM than Law. Even if it doesn't make sense, that's what Oda wants to portray

it does make sense tbh. its really simple. force = mass x acceleration. kid is attacking big mom with greater mass than anyone in the series can possibly attack with. its not the worlds fastest attack, but its fast enough to hit her before she can dodge. this means that no matter what, hes hitting big mom with absolutely massive force.

if queen's brachio snakeus coil attack can defeat "armament haki masters" via sheer force, kid's attacks are a thousand times that. hes hitting her with the mass of a fleet of ships with every slam. when the damage numbers are this high even being able to block it with haki doesnt matter. you're still feeling it

well i think that chopper has gear 2 which is his human form and gear 3 monster form with shrinkage just like luffy used to have.

 

[NAMELESS]

After this chap i have some thoughts.
Zoro will be in death situation
Kidd and Law will be in death situación.
Luffy the same.
All the other strong comrades like Marco,Sanji,Yamato,Jinbe ,Scabbards are tired
The real question is. Who will help them escape?
Marines, BigMeme Pirates, WG. All of them want their head..
I believe the answer is Luffy's Grand Fleet. They will all see Luffy's vivre card burning and they will save the day

Grand Fleet should be saved for the final war.

So Kid auditioning to be a SH huh
Not going to lie, "if you give it long enough, even mountains can be worn down" was a hot line. Unfortunately, he couldnt beat a yonko, so he went down the list to stall a yonko

BM just eats their awakening attacks, but I must say BM does listen to mercy

Marineford was so great because everything failed.Oda killed the tension in this raid.Everything is going into the alliance's favor.I hope he does something to address this.Big Mom Pirates can still join the fight,Marines are lurking nearby,not everything is lost yet.He can make this feel like a war.

Without Katakuri they should not even show up to not get embarrased.

 

[Mr.9000]

Izo might die but damn he still looks cool

lol Katakuri will stay eating donuts in WCI till eos.

 

[Seth]

lol Katakuri will stay eating donuts in WCI till eos.

Tho. I will be surprised if no one attacks Toto Land knowing Big Mom is on Wano.

Skeleton may be a side effect of the drug (Side effects of the drug have become a skeletal symbol)
He wants to return all the pain to Zoro by hitting Zoro...Maybe that's why Chopper was worried
What do you think?

 

[pg13]

Raid is not failing.Most of Kaido's officers are down.Samurai are winning.We could get an Oars style battle vs the Yonko yet.

Kidd is not creative with his DF,he could create a lot of cool weapons with his ability.But he only knows to slam metal into people.

Kidd could honestly have some disgusting piercing attacks, but no…. Oda just wants him to do blunt damage without haki or any elemental feature.

Kid should be stabbing Mfs with his metal.

 

[Mr.9000]

Gotta love chopper

He has so much belief in big bro, that he was more worried about the mink medicine, than Zoro losing to King.

So, its looking like the SH's will be there for Zoro to survive death, like Zoro was there for them on Thriller Bark when they survive death(SH ending)

I think Kid was using his awakening here, he used Big Mom and her bull as magnets attracting each other to increase the magnetic force and then squeeze/compact Big Mom, generating much more force and damaging BM internally.

The context of the panel alignments is obvious, it makes no sense for Law to use his awakening then Kid to overcome this attack just using just a random attack with no additional power.

Nice to see Ikkaku in a chapter again.

I find it particularly funny how the most common criticism for post-ts One Piece has been that "only haki matters! We want devil fruits to be relevant again!"

And then Oda goes out of his way many times to show us that not everything is about haki, like with Franky and Robin and now in this chapter with Kid and Law who are hurting Big Mom with their devil fruit powers. But then, the goal post gets switched and people are angry because Kid "shouldn't be hurting Big Mom without advanced CoC reeee"

And why can't he hurt her with sheer force exactly? Only Ymir knows...

Pantheos
Cinera
I was able to find these translations....I have already read an interesting theory on this subject...what is your opinion?

 

[Saikō No Kenshi]

In Chapter 938, exactly 100 chapters ago, Zoro said this :

Might there be a connection between the Grim Reaper an Killer/Kamazo ?

Is this coincidence or Odas foreshadowing ?

Yup, I'm personally loving the 2 parallels coming out of all of this.

- Kaido being handled by Haki post TS concepts, Big Mom being handled by classic DF powers
- Law attacking internally with precision, Kid attacking externally with brute force


Not sure this was intentional by Oda, but I personally like it alot

 

[Joy D. MADS]

Next chapter will probably focus on Orochi/Hiyori, maybe Denjiro appearing finally.

We also have Momobrat outside watching the sky...

What are you talking about? If you dont have strong Haki, your DF won't work on next person if he has stronger Haki than you.

Have you forgotten about Rooftop?

Why Law could not teleport Big Mom?

Stop being poetic and scholar, Oda dont care about anything, he will take the fight in whichever direction he likes.

 

[Monkey D Theories]

how is it not obvious that the grim reaper is just more fake tension by Oda

its obviously Zoro seeing brook and hallucinating from his meds
