Chapter 803: Climbing the elephant

Maju

ok..let's try to recap

mugiwara/heart alliance= On war with big mum and kaidou,weevil is looking for them to get info on marco's location…allied with several other smaller crews,technically protecting caesar
**Whitebeard pirates=**technically on war with the blackbeard pirates and weevil,even if not directly for the moment
blackbeard pirates= ready to go against the revolutionaries and still technically on war with the remain of the whitebeard pirates,allied with ex-admiral aokiji
revolutionaries= ready to make some big move,they are unknowingly under attack from the BB pirates,they want to find who is creating the weapons (and it is probably kaidou since we saw his weapon factory in karibou's adventuires)
kid/apoo/hawkins alliance= technically ready to move war on shanks but intercepted by kaidou..currently state unknown
**kaidou pirates=**on war with the mugiwara/heart alliance,at the moment trying to get back doflamingo from the marines,probably making the weapons the revolutionaries want to stop,the yonkou will most likely know sooner or later that shirahoshi is poseidon since karibou is in his hands,which will probably stir up problems with either big mom,who protects fishman island,or the WG itself since the fishman island royal famly is gonna go to the reverie.
big mom pirates= on dire terms with the kidd pirates,on war with the mugiwara alliance,unknowingly protecting one of the ancestral weapons,capone's crew seems to be under them,they wanna kill caesar because he swindled funds from them.
**fujitora=**currently out of the marines,his objective remains the destruction of the shichibukai system
**marines=**still yet to make the move jinbe prophetisized about back in fishman island,of course on war with pretty much every other faction by default
**bagy pirates=**wealthy and with a huge workforce,they have a reson to go against the mugiwara alliance but i doubt they would make a move,unless bagy got drunk with power.
**kuzan=**the wild card of the bunch, with no clear motivation atm,allied with the blackbeard pirates,but with enough power to be a faction on himself

anything that i forgot?

@Katzztar:

I'm hoping he doesn't have a DF and relies only on ninja abilities, and be a good fighter.

Think it's a given that all of the Wano group are good fighters, they just seem to be oblivious to the potential of their devil fruits. Which is kind of refreshing.

I liked how even Law got the sparkle when the ninja was mentioned.

@fuzi11:

The One Piece World gets more and more complex with each new arc.
And what's with all the meetings?

The kings' meeting: Reverie
Big Mom's meeting: the Tea Party
Dragon's meeting: Meeting of the revolutionary leaders
The meeting of the worst Generation: creating alliances

Is there some anniversary coming up?

It's the gears man, THE GEARS ARE TURNING!

@Al!naJames:

And god DAMN it Shiliew, your change of costume was the biggest intrigue of the timeskip. God DAMN it.

Well, I wouldn't say it was my biggest intrigue, but I would have wiashed to see him dressed differently, at least. Maybe in something that isn't identical to his ID uniform. That M. Bison look is kinda boring to me.

I expected BB's ships would have more diversity among captains, but this is probably easier to draw. Like how they kept the tree logs on the sides for the sake of tradition.

So Dragon is gathering his leaders and BB's pirates are supposed to come and attack their base. On Grand Line.
Can they even leave NW like that and just go to Paradise to get some weapons? Even without Marines reacting. What about those territories? Not sure where that's going to lead to, same as with that Jack guy, but I can't wait to see some results. God knows when will that be.

Speaking of Vertigo situation, Burgess being there seems like such a bullshit. From even managing to get there. How did he even hitch a ride beaten like that? How did he hitch a ride undetected? How did he get to the island undetected? How does he stay there undetected, communicating with a snail? Black snails? Patrols? Haki? It's Revolutionaries main base, not some backwoods village.

Shanks managed to get form the NW to Marineford….

And who said their base is in the first part of the grandline?

RobZilla

We think we have it all figured out and then Oda sets up The Blackbeard Pirates Vs. The Revolutionaries, on a majorly accelerated scale.

Beautiful.

Really enjoyed this chapter, especially our insight into the organisation of the Blackbeards.

Snir

shanks most likely appears in the next few chapters. Whenever blackbeard appears on a cover shanks does too. And if blackbeard is on volume 80's cover then… you know the rest..

won't be surprised if shanks makes a sudden appearance in the next 2-3 chapters

I thought he was captive and had a unique way to pull a Mushi out of hiss ass?

By the way it's nice to see my little prediction BB coming to get Burgess became true along with Admiral level asistance Marines got. They were out of reach for quite some time, that was to be expected.

@Kishido:

Dragon will tear him a real black hole…

Maybe oda want to show us how powerfull Revo is, not even yonkou have a chance againts them..
I think this Revo's Army is set up by oda for the final arc or final war againts WG..

@MomoDEla:

Can anyone tell me what is meant with "And our content meter has gone off the rocks anyway!!" on page 3?

The way I understood it when reading is that Barto had seen so much of the strawhats. He didn't need to be with the SHs for longer, he was satisifed with what he saw.

Now he's off to train.

PLEASE DON'T BE DEFEATED SANJI FALLING ON LUFFFY AND CO, PLEASE!

Also, BB pirates vs Dragon and revos? Shit, what if BB kills Dragon and gets his DF? Damn, all this will lead to something important. So burgess got on the revo ship, that ninja..

The 4th Samurai is a ninja? INB4 Naruto lookalike.

And we have confirmation that burgess is superior in rank to Shilliew? Since he is first fleet commander, same as marco. Zoro fans just got a hit in the nuts. Sanji's ebemy from the BB pirates( likely one) is the vice captain HAHA

RobZilla

@uniaka:

I think it's probably more likely to be someone that Sanji has kicked off the elephant, if anything.

Well, I hope so.

Should we be worried that this chapter only had 13 pages without any doublespreads?

Not really. Nothing to suggest Sanji will fight Burgess. The WB pirates were all equal in rank anyway. Lafitte still seems more like a VC than anyone on the crew. And I wouldn't be surprised if Burgess doesn't keep his position much longer. Those two aren't exactly acting like bosom buddies with Burgess.

Razh

@LightningAce:

Shanks managed to get form the NW to Marineford….

And who said their base is in the first part of the grandline?

You're right, for some reason I always assume that when an island is said to be located in Grand Line, it means it's in first half. It could easilly be in NW, though.

But if it's in Paradise, it's not about getting there, it's about leaving the territory. Shanks went to just across the border with one ship only.

RobZilla

@uniaka:

Just because Burgess and Marco share a division number doesn't make their standing in their individual crews the same.

Ninja sounds like awesome, but Raizou cant be main nakama, he's something with thunder (rai in japanese means thunder/lightning) and we have nami who experts in thunder skills

Bye-bye Bartolomeo and gangs, see u next time :'(

Razh

@Myu:

Lol. But if he was captive, it makes it all even more of a bullshit. Someone as wounded as him managing to escape them right on their island base, I mean.

Myu

@Razh:

You're right. He doesn't look like captive. I guess Oda just needed him to be there. :-)

Jabberwok

Why do people think Sanji is the one falling? Has everyone forgotten that he's the most maneuverable of the crew in midair? He has to be either unconscious or immobilized in order to be free-falling, which would mean that the rest of that team is probably boned since he's the strongest of the group.

Note that both Panda and Aohige have the translation as referring to a thing, not a person. While it's certainly possible that the object falling from the sky is a person, if it was someone they recognized they'd probably already know. My guess is that it's a strange looking minkman.

Aokiji's alliance with BB. That's a majorly factor obviously since Kuzan is unbelievably powerful. I hope we get more info on this soon. I cant fathom why Aokiji would ally himself with Teach.

Maju

don't really understand why burgess shouldn't be able to hide in a ship with just a couple of revolutionaries in it..it'd not like there was an entire crew that could occupy the entire ship and make stay hidden difficult

16 characters of updated ,thanks

Didn't' see that coming. Blackbeard pirates vs the Revolutionary. We'll are probably not going to see any of that for the next 100 chapters but still pretty interested.
Nice to see Buggy, Mr.3 and Alvida again.

Raizou is confirmed to be a guy,right? Please be a guy or else the toxic from the NN thread will spread.

Why was this chapter only 13 pages? Oda can finally get on with the Straw Hat's adventure now that all the side character plots have been teased.

well,given the ideas about women that kinemon had back in punkhazard,i doubt he was traveling with a woman..at least not someone who explicitly presents him/herself as a woman..but maybe he/she is masked

Because he would have had to sneak past them to get inside it, play dead while inside it and sneak past them back out and hide behind a rock undetected by ANYONE during the entire process.

But if it seems plausible to you, ok.

Razza

I hope that Burgess stowing away in the bile water at the bottom of the ship is true.

Very interesting. Who knows how many leaders Dragon has under him? I enjoyed him being a bureaucrat though at his desk but will be disappointed to see them wiped out this early if that is where it ends up going. Blackbeard is still a fresh, long game conflict. We don't need Luffy's family members to die quite yet.

I really like that the plot overall has picked up considerable pace over the last year or two, chapters like this really push it along.

mario time

i think Blackbeard will kill dragon and he will steal his devil fruit power

I think it's cute that Robin thinks that the dragon is cute.

The cycle of cuteness.

well,sneak past them was not really difficult since they were searching for whatever they were looking for before departing..so he had plenty of time to do so..also they were just a couple of guys anyway…
don't get what do you mean by play dead..he just needed a safe spot and stay there until the travel was over
same thing to get out,wait until everyone disembarked and get out ...all the entire island seem to have is the revolutionary base,so there's plenty of space not occupied by the base where to hide

apologized

no one see all this players showing

BB vs Revou

wolfwood

Soo i guess it's safe to say that Dragon is the worst parent in all of OP.

And now Blacky is setting sail for them. Sure hope the other big dog revolutionaries arrive before that. Because as they are now it sure seems like they'd be boned beyond belief, especially if blue bird comes with them. I mean they've got Sabo, Dragon, Koala and Hack. Versus 10 commanders, and an emperor and possibly an admiral. Pretty bad odds for the revolutionaries.

By this logic, Brook shouldn't join because they already had a swordsman.

A Boy and his Kraken

It's easy to gloss over, but we also got a hint that another joke villain is going to be returning to the story line….........WAPOL; we hear Dragon and Koala mention the 'Wine Steel', and as we know Wapol is rich now due to his Wapolium Metal. This Wine Steel is likely a new variant made with his DF Powers.

Kaptayn

Cool chapter.

Loved to see Robin blushing.
Bartolomeo's going away… tears Hope seeing him soon.
This Raizou~guy seems interesting. A ninja ? Why not. I bet we'll see tons of references to Naruto.

It's nice seeing Dragon again.
Now I'm really anxious (it's been a long time I haven't felt that in front of a One Piece chapter) for the Revolutionaries... Since it's my favorite "faction", I don't want them to be beaten, and especially not by BB's crew. :sad: 'hate these guys.
We have to see how all this is going to turn out, but I have a bad feeling.
Plus, how the hell did Burgess manage to follow them ? Seriously ? Don't they at least check the boats before leaving ? I mean, they are being chased by the World Government, how could they be so unconscious ??? And why didn't Sabo kill that rat anyways ??? ugh.
Wonder why Dragon wants to reassemble all the Revolutionary leaders... My theory is that he's preparing a war (the final one ? dunno) against the WG. By the way it reminded me the 3rd International (= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_International).

So the way things go, do we have to expect that there will be a battle between the Cipher Pol, the Revolutionaries and eventually the Blackbeard pirates ?

Baggy was cool. 'Meh, still a weak dork, apparently, but at least he's a big name now.
Alvida's smoking hot.

@KageKageKing:

Yes.
My heart stopped beating for like a second.

The admiral would probably betray them anyways.
And the Cipher Pol's probably gonna' hop in too.

In any case though, the Revolutionarys are screwed…

Still find Garp to be the worst. He raised two pirates and a revolutionary.

Atleast he took the time to lovingly beat his (grand)kids.

The most Dragon ever does it kinda lean in their general direction.

Don't see how , this is a world that if the WG found out dragon had a kid they would have kill him at a early age .
He also save him once , both of them not good at that sort of stuff .

@wolfwood:

Taking deadbeat daddying to a whole new level

What would Dragon even do when he meets Luffy face-to-face? Express some mixture of regret (for not being there), pride (his son has turned the world upside down)…..fall asleep like Garp?

Luffy would just be like "oi, who are you again?"

Mmmh those 14 pages only killed me, the hype was so high. Love how BB's ships have the same design of their first raft…but those guys gives me shiver every time.
