Chapter Discussion One Piece Chapter 1192 : We won't allow

Now while I think about it, this looks like a very very very poorly executed attempt to re-create the Freezer vs everyone fight.
From exposition, world building, hype surrounding the villains, the choreography and structure of the fights, the suspense, seriousness, emotional invest and even the design of the respective forms of Freezer and Imu, Dragon Ball is so far ahead, it's just sad.
Imagine in the middle of the freezer fight, we would've gotten a Ginyu flashback ๐ญ๐ฎ

On the cover page, we got some mafia dogs stealing the precious, sweet cola right out of Franky's own stomach. Cute. And kinda disturbing. BUT WHAT DOES IT SYMBOLIZE?! Well..um...hmm...Franky's sleeping out in the middle of the woods, so...maybe it has something to do with the origin of Devil Fruits? Or...maybe it has something to do with "sharing powers"? Or maybe it's nothing, and it's just a funny scene.
Imu is REALLY bad at dodging! It's a necessary skill for high-level play!
Luffy gets another new power! He can make multiple arms to hit people with. Booming Dawn Kraken Gatling! Somewhere, Boa Hancock is suddenly feeling very excited, for some reason.
We get to see the Tohu and Bohu swords working together! Void Shield! I guess the similar names do mean that they're related, somehow? So, I guess the two Celestial Dragon Families that belong to those two swords are probably also somehow related? And Luffy's Haki-coating is no match against Imu's Maki Shield.
Scopper orders Hajrudin to get Luffy out of here, since, apparently, his wounds are still too severe for this fight. But then...Usopp gets a moment to make a big, heroic speech about how they're not running away this time, and how Luffy is his own man not just a echo of Joyboy or Nika or even Roger! It might not be the Usopp moment a lot of fans wanted, but you can't say Oda isn't giving Usopp SOMETHING this arc, between this and standing up to Imu himself.
...The whole "He should have the freedom to die honorably on his own terms" thing does make me worry a bit, though. Not so much about Luffy, even though this DOES feel like more foreshadowing that Luffy will eventually get a fakeout death, at least. But...yeah...I kind of have to wonder if Oda's really talking about HIMSELF, here? Like...he's tired of all the fans and editors being worried about his health, and trying to get him to rush the ending of the story? Like, this could be Oda saying that he wants to do his story his way, even if it means he dies before he finishes it? Maybe that's reading too much into it, but...who knows?
Luffy got hit so hard by Imu that he made a cartoony silhouette in the "floor" of the tree. But, then...he gets a idea. He uses Loki's hammer attack to propel himself right into Imu for one more big attack. And he's even able to punch right through Imu's Void Shield this time! Imu's...not looking too good. Honestly, it almost looks like Imu's about ready to pass out from this attack.
But, chances are, this is just going to set up Imu going into his FINAL FORM! Or something like that. Either a full Devil, or maybe a Dragon form, we'll see. Although, at this point, I wonder if we'll cut over to Zoro and Sanji's fights next chapter? I'm not sure what to expect for next chapter, honestly.

Itโs insane how much Oda portrays Kaidou as being superior... Just look at this. Kaidou broke through a stronger defense and dealt more damage than Imu. Kaidou simply hits MUCH harder than Imu, even with two swords. And keep in mind that Luffy is more vulnerable to sword attacks than blunt force, yet Kaidou still hits harder than Imu.
He broke through Luffyโs defense with ease and practically blew his head apart, making him spit buckets of blood.
@nik87 @Hanzo hattori @Levi @Blazing Lion @JoNdule @Monet @Zoro suck @WaidoWSC @nani @M.O @GeneralP123 @Shimotsuki Fenaker
Imu couldnโt even break through base Gear 5โs defense, while Kaidou was breaking through Gear 5โs defense even when Luffy used โG3โ to protect himself. @sanjikun
Not to mention Elder @Elder Lee Hung absolutely loved the fact that Luffy basically told Loki: โGo all out with your attacks, Loki. Use Ragnir and all your raw strength as an Ancient Giant, and Iโll eat your massive attack like itโs nothing just to use the momentum.โ LMAO
That attack practically killed the supposedly unstoppable Harald. LMAO
Loki is the biggest bum in the manga.

He's getting exploited badly as soon as he realized he can't domi reversi his way out of fights.
