One Piece Chapter 1172: The Elbaf I Admire

[Devilbat]

So we got a recap of where good guys are, what about bad guys?
Sommers is next to library, but where are Killingham and Imunko?

So it indeed seems like Sanji will save SHP from captivity and fight Sommers (hopefully with Waban giving his some pointers how to handle the guy). Zoro is going straight to DR'd Dorry & Brogy, is Killingham nearby?

Jarul looks like he's ready to die, eh, I do love the idea of Bonney aging him down to his prime, because he'd be a perfect match for D&B DR'd duo, while Zoro could deal with Killingham.

Brook is MVP, fucking legend, he was tied same as Jinbum & Lusopp, but he's going elsewhere, while the rest of SHP is just waiting for help.... No comment on Robin and Nami, I no longer expect any female character greatness from Oda.

Ussop can die in this arc, and it would have no impact.

Elbaf i know my Ass...First time that he is actually there

 

[kekaro]

This map is not useful bro
I have still no clear idea where everyone is

 

[ShinichiMugi]

Weak and Mid Hats fights always end before Wing fights start we’ve got some slow pacing approaching

True but i think not every Strawhat will get a fight this arc.
Brook will probably help with the Gunko situation,Usopp (maybe) with the Dorry and Brogy situation,while the others will do Run Piece.
I think there is the possibility only the Monster Trio gets proper fights this time

Loki~ Luffy - Top tier both of them
Sanji \ Gaban - One top tier and one High tier
Zoro \ Hajrudin - Lmao, Zoro is literally carrying this team alone.

Monster trio got their own top tier pokemon alongside them, Zoro is all on his own lmao.

Not for very long to be fair

Hajrudin’s awakening is coming

Jarul was a legendary giant that wielded a legendary blade -> passed it down to Harald -> Hajrudin will likely obtain it next

Hajrudin’s coming out of this arc a beast

Though Zoro will have to carry him at first lol

You have more trust in the guy that almost died at the begining of this arc than some people have in the dollar

Turns out Love and Conquerors Haki go together.

Luffy displayed CoC in Marineford when Ace was about to get killed, Zoro used CoC thinking about his best friend and childhood love Kuina, Sanji will use it here because it will be needed in a dire situation, and just call it love.

By the way, M3 is fighting the HKs as their main foes. Those 3 are being called "the three devils" that brought terror to Elbaph, so they gonna fight the three monsters anyways

I'd rather see Warul unleash the last CoC burst in his life that leads to a heart attack-induced death than witness Bumrudin amount to anything more than a meme.

People keep saying this but they just don’t get it

Yes, Hajrudin is a bum he got oneshot easily by Dressrosa Luffy lol

But he’s obviously a major player this arc and has the narrative backing him. Hajrudin being important and growing stronger is one of the safest bets you can make

 

[D. Plant]

This is Road's brother lol.

 

[kumae]

The last time Zoro had a plan,: he left it to luck lmao

Lies
Defeating pica and stopping the torikago

I honestly do not care i just dont see the arc heading in that direction

Idolo gonna yell that Hajrudin should throw him at broggi?

Is he tho? I didnt do a panel count im pretty sure he has percentage wise less panel time than Momo. And even if ignore that he would not be the most prominent arc character, that would be loki.

So he is not even the Momo of this arc but hiyori

On Elbaph

On Elbaph

How many chapters the holli roppo are lasting?

 

[Paperchampion23]

I am curious how Oda will tackle this arc's conflict but funny enough this chapter does seem to highlight a few directions it will go already:

- Ripley, Oimo, Road, Gerd and Goldberg all went after the kids

- Zoro, Hadjrudin, and Stansen are going to protect Jarul and the village from presumably DR Dorry and Broggy

- Sanji is going to rescue the crew

- Brook is presumably setting something up related to Gunko.


But we dont really know where the 3 Knights will end up going and its clear Loki/Luffy will end up at least stop Imu/Gunko at some point.

Im just still not convinced this is the entirety of this conflict with all of the players here. Something feels like its missing here imo

Who knew ussops dream was same shit tier as Sanjis

 

[Veku]

How many chapters the holli roppo are lasting?

Too many I fear, this reeks like a warm up in preperation for the final war against the WG:
We are in for either:
- Training session for Zoro/Sanji
- Unknown match ups, teamfights etc - with everyone trying to figure out a way how to deal with the regen merchants

Remember, Luffy vs Katakuri was lasting like
15 chapters, but this time around every enemy is an obstacle with a gimmick the protagonists have to find a way around

 

[D. Plant]

Goldberg's idea of killing them by eating them, looks like his dad told him about Big Mom eating mother Carmel incident and gave him the homie shield.

I fear Teach is the final villain tho. He is getting Imu's powers, making his own Gorosei and Holy Knights using his own crew.

 

[Dark-Abel]

Just keep Luffy and Loki away for 5 more chapter to build up any sense of threat, because when they arrive it will be over fast
