Oda is a genius. Idk how he does it making those 2 so likeable in such short time

If you are a character's mother in One Piece you're probably gonna die

Oda be packing up mothers all the time

Great chapter but those feels hit me in my chest

Shanks espionage feats though :whew:

Someone said shanks prolly had a tattoo like Harold that's why he had his arm chomped off

It was lowkey shown to us in another flashback earlier when he was in the hot baths in elbaf. You can see the mark clearly on his arm

You remember what chapter this was?

1152

What baffles me bout these flashbacks being this PEAK, is what are we about to come back to with the current time

We might actually get shanks nd luffy reunion and another imu teamup fight + Brook real backstory , And this is literally only a preview of the final battle

Oda feeding us crazy

goda

just like in real life

one event can change the course of history and set into motion a new era of characters, all connected by fate

this s*** is so f***ing gas

incredible episode, the music at the end

they went insano with this one

They went OFF, great episode

@foreveramn

'The D will bring a storm'
The D Clan tend to rebel against the powers that be
Dragon actually founded and leads the biggest rebelling force in the world
& he's rumoured to have weather powers

We frequently hear talk about how the current D Clan members don't even know who they are and what they are capable of

Vegapunk was about to say 'within you there is...'
We've seen statements like Sanji talking about Garp 'His grandpa was like a storm.' Immediately followed by 'I was really surprised about Dragon'

Oda be dropping these hints & gems all the time by placing things in proximity to each other (e.g. hinting at Sanji's backstory by making him the standout part of the panel that followed Montblanc Cricket speaking about how he was ridiculed & bullied as a child)

He could've been saying something expected like within you there is the ability to change the world

But what if he was going to say they actually contain special power

Maybe Dragon can bring a storm because him being a true revolutionary has allowed him to tap into his D potential by being the purest embodiment of the will of D.

Although I would prefer this not to be true tbh, I'm all good with him having a Weather Mythical Zoan (surely a Bhutanese/Tibetan Thunder Dragon would make sense)

I don't want to see too many OP powers that multiple people can use suddenly popping up & making things too easy, Given that Bonney can age multiple people at once, we already have a plausible pathway for the Age Age Fruit & Nika Fruit to be used in tandem to give the whole Army Distortion Future: A Future Where I'm Most Free
(It could be cool but I'd still rather see things play out in a different way)

Was looking forward to this episode. Bonney becoming the very thing she hid from because of her illness, the symbolism is powerful

Ah man it’s not tagging me for some reason

Man this catchup is gonna hit so f***in hard

just finished the alabasta arc in the manga. it absolutely slapped. i couldn’t put down the volumes. can’t wait to get into the next arc, skypiea.
