Chapter Discussion ONE PIECE CHAPTER 978: Introducing the Tobi Roppo

[Kejon]

Nine Scabbards vs Nine Numbers

My issue isn’t that they’re fodders. My issue is that they will all basically be the same character

I mean we don't know that yet. They do seem very similar though. I hope they won't be boring.

 

[Buusatan94]

Because they are so focused on strenght. The moment you got a L, you are dragdown lol! A crew based on strenght is strong yes but weak in fiability and trust ...

That's a trait they share with the Blackbeard Pirates, the first crewmates (Burgess, Laffite, Van Augur and Doc Q) may be loyal to Blackbeard but the Impel Down convicts are certainely not, and if Moria really ends up joining the crew he will betray BB as soon as he has the opportunity to avenge Absalom.

 

[Don DaSlayer]

This confirms that the Numbers———> Tobbi Roppo.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

The only thing you forgot to add is that

Spoiler

Zoro only beat the third strongest person of the arc

And Zoro beat the second strongest of the arc villain. So once again he'll beat king

 

[Gran D. Master]

And Zoro beat the second strongest of the arc villain. So once again he'll beat king

Sorry, but Doflamingo wasn't the arc villain, and Monet certainly isn't the second strongest in Doffy's crew

 

[Akuma_Law]

So we finally see how onigashima looks at least the front entrance
Its smaller than I thought lol

 

[RayanOO]

This confirms that the Numbers———> Tobbi Roppo.

This is not 100% sure, The numbers can have a better standing in the crew maybe, and are respected more because they are related to Kaido or his secret race etc.

Like the Pleasures have a better rank than the waiters but are not stronger.

 

[Kejon]

The Tobi Roppo are definitely above the numbers.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

Sorry, but Doflamingo wasn't the arc villain, and Monet certainly isn't the second strongest in Doffy's crew

Caeser was the arc villain and Monet was his strongest subordinate.

Let's go another round repeating this please

 

[BangOO🍅]

Lets see how many people actually believing if X-Drake is the strongest flying six.

 

[Gran D. Master]

Caeser was the arc villain and Monet was his strongest subordinate.

Let's go another round repeating this please

Monet belongs to Doffy just like Vergo. If Vergo doesn't count as Caeser's subordinate during PH, then neither does Monet. Now stop with these excuses, you're killing the Zoro vs Orochi hype.

 

[Aknolagon]

The Shimichi ? Sl that means there are gifters elite ? Shouldn’t they be stronger than headliners ? That makes the antagonists group even bigger now

Oda draws some beautiful Beasts Pirates girls ! The one drinking, the Shimichi, Ulti, Black Maria...
Seems liks Drake is the strngest of the six

ONIGASHIMA IS HUGE !! Damn I can’t believe we’re here
The plan will deffo fail tho, and the alliance will probably lose... maybe Law’s death. They’re way too confident

Queen is the best part of Wano i

All we need now is Kaido, BM and Ace

It's a translation mistake ! It's shinuchi which means headliners.

 

[Kejon]

Uruti is already shaping up to be a great character. She doesn't even care calling Kaido dumb lmao. I wonder how Kaido reacts to that.

 

[Don DaSlayer]

The Tobi Roppo are definitely above the numbers.

Why did Queen call the numbers after the tobbi roppo?

 

[kurwa]

Killer is still Laughing so he is still nerf?

Probably yes. He hates his laugh so that makes him distracted.
but this time he at least he has his mask which hides his face, so he's at least he's less nerfed now from smile

While using the scythes he was style using his acrobatic style

Yes, having scythes doesn't change his jumping...
but him using scythes means he can't get close using his style since scythe are too long for his style.

Without the scythes he would have been unable to pierce Zoro because he cannot hold his rotating blade with two hands.

What king of logic is that?

Killers style ain't piercing, it's cutting.
He doesn't need to add his own strength to the blades, they spin automatically.

Maybe in that instance he would have cut Zolo's throat if he had been using his main weapons
instead of having to use completely different style of weapon

 

[Buusatan94]

I would like it if we are done with this boring and ridiculous cover story with Bege and Chiffon but I fear it will still last for some time.

 

[ImmaIvanoM]

Monet belongs to Doffy just like Vergo. If Vergo doesn't count as Caeser's subordinate during PH, then neither does Monet. Now stop with these excuses, you're killing the Zoro vs Orochi hype.

Monet takes orders from caeser. Vergo does not. Doffy and Fujitora both work for the WG and yet Doffy's executives work for Doffy and Fujitora does not.

And the cycle repeats

 

[Aknolagon]

This confirms that the Numbers———> Tobbi Roppo.

Which is understantable because if jack leads headliners, queen the t6 so king should be the leader of numbers unless he is the one who can do anything he wants and kaido or kaido jr are the direct leader of numbers.

 

[shodai_kitetsu]

Where is flying six better rank than the number came from?

 

[Akuma_Law]

Untill proven otherwise in the next chapters, the portrayal of the flying six definitely puts them above everyone except All stars
Don't know how people still putting those "numbers" above them after that introduction
