ONE PIECE CHAPTER 996: ISLAND OF THE STRONGEST

[Albino 👑]

If the supernova really do even up defeating linlin and kaido oda has to bring capone, bonney, and urouge too for a full out supernova reunion

 

[Dread Pirate]

Good chapte..Yamato/Kaido had my favorite moments and glad to see Law again. Does Sasaki have a black blade?

 

[pg13]

I seriously hate Oda sometimes. Sanji will get beaten by Black Maria and will get taken out of the equation completely. That is a cheap way to not give a fight to Sanji. Can’t he just stop using cook and womanizer cards only for once!

Taken out Completely? like rest of the arc? Thats literally never happened........ Did you read chapter 997 before everybody else did?

 

[Luffy bin Dragon]

Still reaching?
Long time doesn't necessarily = years. What you are assuming over ''years'' is nothing but bullshit. He never says years Lol.

Shanks wasn't even a Yonko when he fought mihawk, try to follow the updates kid.

Your the one who’s reaching why would WB call 4 years a “Long Time” when he says he remembers Shanks and Mihawks duels as if they were yesterday.

 

[ako]

If the tragedy of this act will just be defeat of the Scabbards then the raid may not fail after all.

yeah its possible. But you'd think a few of the Scabbards would need to die now to make it a tragedy. Especially if its someone like Kinemon. Just getting defeated cant really be called tragedy.

 

[Erkan12]

Who will leave the battle like this;

Both Kaido and Big mom can fly, it's hard to pick.

 

[Blother Fertitta]

Basically any chapter is a 2 or less for me

Btw:
- Franky vs Sasaki didn't start, they didn't even interact
- I'm neutral towards Yamato , i don't care whatever she does. But i was a little bit annoyed by the umpteenth useless hint: if you want to show something, do it. I want to know what is Yamato's DF, not to receive hints like that
- i hate Law and he didn't anything particularly interesting
- Kid and Killer are dealing with fodders (the meme about Killer is funny but it was not Oda's intention)
- Kaido has been fighting the garbage on panel for chapters

And that's fine, not any single chapter needs to be absolutely remarkable

Well at least you have your reasoning

Amen
Will never happen tho

What 4 years? What are you talking about?

 

[Albino 👑]

Amen

I guess rip to the wano supernova then

 

[HA001]

If oda is setting up the SN we will likely see hawkins and apoo switch before 1000.

 

[Luffy bin Dragon]

What 4 years? What are you talking about?

The 4 years since Shanks became a Yonko

 

[HA001]

What 4 years? What are you talking about?

Wb talked about shanks rise to yonko yet never talked about shanks vs kaido or bm
Mihawk is still shanks biggest fight

 

[Albino 👑]

If 8 supernova can beat kaido and linlin then 5 of them might be able to defeat the shichibukai

 

[Erkan12]

The 4 years since Shanks became a Yonko

So? How does that prove WB meant years by saying ''long time''?

Wtf are you talking about

WB said mihawk vs shanks was very old, Shanks wasn't even a Yonko at the time. What kind of nitpicking is this?

Stop bullshitting with this mihawk nonsense already, he is Vista level, not close to Yonko. End of the subject. Zoro will fight Shanks's underlings, Luffy will fight Shanks. Shanks is on a different level.

Why would Mihawk be waiting for someone stronger than Shanks. If Shanks is that much above him.
I guess big meme is Marco level

 

[Ice devil slayer]

Doffy vs Luffy+Law on a bigger scale....

Way way bigger scale

Tho Kaido should be more than enough to fight all of them...i wonder how they're gonna fight him and bm

Zoro not part of it anymore?

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

what are you talking it was never stated to be a draw
Shanks lossed an arm then became magically stronger
Mihawk left Marineford because he didn’t want to fight Shanks because he didn’t want to fight a 1 armed man

I mean, even though he lost his arm, do you think 39 year old, Yonko, Prime Shanks is weaker than 19-21 year old Rookie Shanks who fought Mihawk?

Oda's made it pretty clear that members of older Generations don't reach their full potential until their mid-late 30's. Hard to fathom that Rookie Pirate Shanks is stronger than Prime Veteran Pirate Shanks, even with a missing arm.
