One Piece Chapter 1088: "Last Lesson"

[Rebelion Owner]

This chapter proves that DC is not always an indicator of a more powerful attack. For instance, Kaidou's Ragnaroku knocked out Luffy after his time in Udon, despite his increased endurance and Haki gains. However, the Ragnarok caused minimal damage to the surroundings when it landed on Luffy. On the other hand, we have an example of Katakuri attempting something similar with Luffy during the Whole Cake Island arc. Although Katakuri's attack had decent DC, it was not successful in knocking out Luffy, who was weaker than post-Udon Luffy at that time.

In this chapter, we see Garp delivering a striking punch to Pizarro, and then Coby follows up with another punch, but they are not successful in permanently knocking him out.

It's clear that Pizarro's resistance doesn't come close to Luffy's.

Ragnaroku > Coby and Garp's punches.

The wording was changed quite a bit from Redon's :zorothink:

That's interesting.

OPScans is the least reliable of the three IMO.
OPScans < TCBScans < VIZ
I expect VIZ to say something similar to what Redon said.

 

[Urouge D. Rouge]

I like how oda presented the theme on first flash back (old man and the kid)
the second flashback (amazon lily) we see Koby doing his way
and in present time, Garp does his way

fun tematic chapter in a way showing a similarity between Garp and Shanks (protecting the future of this generation) in their own way.
We see a bit more on why Grus is so annoying towards Koby, as Koby is the guy that surpassed or might surpass him, in his eyes.
Helmeppo does his job

If i saw it correctly, Kobys punch went all the way to the face of the skull, no only the arm

veeeery good chapter

also we see aokiji stil.l on regret vs his mentor

Well need to see what viz says

TCB says something similar too.

Now I really wanna see VIZ's version.

Yeah its pretty much a scene to highlight how worn out Garp's body was at that point, but how he still had enough will to finish off his mission

“Koby isn’t using Acoc”

• Poetic ch. that symbolizes the passing of the torch. Koby is clearly portrayed as Garp’s successor….should be no doubt that he will end up stronger than prime Garp. Koby can use AdvCoC. He’s not touching pizaroo which is a trait for conquerors’ attacks.
• “Koby only used armament” I didn’t know simple armament let you hit people without touching
• “Koby only used Ryou emission” Everytime we see ryou emission the attacks are way closer in proximity. And the only real example we can use is luffy (fist) because all other examples of ryou creating a significant amount of space between their attacks is with their palms. For example: sentomaru, Rayliegh, hyogoro, All 3 Admirals at the same time. The reason law realized luffy wasn’t touching kaido after his acoc boost was because it’s NOTICEABLE . Law was there when he used red roc yet said nothing. Why? Cause the proximity of acoa isn’t noticeable when using your fist. Even examples of others using ryou from there palms is no where near as comparable to the distance of Koby’s punch to pizaroo. The only example we really have where the distance of ryou being used with comparable distance to Kobys attacks is the Admirals in Marineford. But it was all three of them at the same time. Furthermore, it defeats the whole purpose of having conquerors haki in the first place.
• “There’s no exposition. If oda wanted the reader to understand that Koby was an acoc user he’d have one of the characters (like Grus or helmeppo) say 1. he’s not even touching him or 2. That’s conquerors haki!” Garp’s attack didn’t make contact and neither did Koby’s. This whole Hachinosu mini arc was a passing of the torch. How much clearer could the exposition be?
• “Oda has been very consistent with what’s Aoc and how it drifts off the person’s hand/weapon and creates black lightning upon contact w/ sfx. Koby’s lightning is attached to his hand.” Garp also doesn’t knock out pirate fodder when using galaxy impact… is it not conquerors now?
• “Well that’s because Garp is getting weaker and older” So effects of acoc can fade but u refute the possibility that they can’t grow? Koby is noticeably using a punch with much distance, that isn’t directly touching pizaroo, lightning or sfx won’t change that.
• “Garp is an exception, he’s just very specialized in ryou emission & koby imitates him” Cope. If you seriously think Garp doesn’t have conquerors haki you are in denial. There is no use in explaining such a simple thing to brain dead people.
• “Well kaido said only a handful of the very strongest can use conquerors haki” Characters like zoro and Yamato are not yonko caliber characters automatically. You are born with conquerors haki with a very slim chance. We see that different conquerors have different potency compared to others. You can mature your haki, conquerors is no exception.
• Whether you like it or not, koby is in Oda’s plan for acoc… he’s had the mindset of a conqueror locked away but ever since that meeting with luffy he’s been on his path.
• The reason why people can’t accept this is because Oda didn’t show the readers Koby’s upbringing. Making the turnout unfulfilling. That can’t be helped though because koby isn’t a strawhat. He makes up for this through portrayal and flashbacks. The setup has always been there, him having conquerors was inevitable.

All facts

@Warchief Sanji D Goat Who's faster him or Sanji

I was just reading PH and this caught my attention after Garp left a big trail when he blitzed Kuzan

Sanji's trail looks better or at least similar. Exo Sanji is invisible to Coby's eyes
Garp's trail is insane lol

If Koby = Lee, Garp = Guy

I wanna know more about that marine instructor lady with the baseball bat. What's her story?

This is Isuka, she makes an appearance in Ace's Novel

Luffy haters should delete their accounts after seeing the last page of the chapter. Oda has made it clear twice that there is going to be a big incident happening and this chapter he indicates that Luffy is at the heart of it.
When I searched "Seige Barricade", it showed me a transformer so its likely Luffy is going to make the ancient robot run and create havoc. Its over for Luffy haters.

@L57 You know, Pizzaro could legit grab Pica's golem with his hand. That's the amount of size difference. The arm built on the entire island. The island IS the golem. Clown!

Bro, Pica's golem is maybe a bit smaller.
But his DF is surely better than Pizzaro's.

Pizzaro's DF works like Sajin Komamura's bankai.

Whatever damage inflicted to the Golem, Pizzaro and Komamura got injured as well.
While any damage inflicted to Pica's Golem, Pica got 0 damage as long as his real body doesn't get hit.

Had Pica only eats Pizzaro's inferior DF, he probably would get taken out already by this attack:

While had Pizzaro actually eats Pica's superior DF, both Garp's attack and Coby's Honesty Impact wouldn't do shit. Coby might destroy the arm, but Pizzaro with Pica's DF might just regrow it.

Pica's DF >>> Pizzaro's DF.

P.s.
Pica's Golem is also only smaller just because Dressrosa is smaller than Hachinosu. Hachinosu Pica Golem will be as big as Pizzaro's Golem.

Gonna be honest here
I was never interested in Koby and made sometimes fun of him but he earned my respect here
I love his relationship with Garp and Helmeppo and I also love the SWORD unit
I don’t question the adv CoC anymore because I ranted enough in Wano about Oda's writing

Damn you profile pic

[Topi Jerami]

his fruit is the upgrade version of Pica.

It is the opposite. Pizzaro's fruit is the downgrade version of Pica.

Any attacks inflicted to Pizzaro's golem hurts Pizzaro's real body. Any attack inflicted to Pica's golem doesn't affect Pica's real body.
Both Garp and Coby's attacks this chapter wouldn't actually do shit if only Pizzaro ate Pica's DF.

"But Pica's golem is smaller" yes only smaller because Dressrosa is smaller than Hachinosu. Put Pica in Hachinosu and his Golem will be as big as Pizzaro, but superior.
