Chapter 822: Descending the Elephant

[Happycrab91]

@FLCL:

Exactly my thoughts too. I mean, there has to be a reason why we didn't see her in the chapter, right?

I want Carrot to go with them too, but what about after Dressrosa when they were partying on the giant ship and Bellamy wasn't anywhere, then next chapter there was a small flashback of him saying he was leaving?

Probably my favourite part about this chapter is Nami's new weapon because it's cool how Usopp gains new technology throughout his travels and is able to develop new weapons, thus making the crew stronger. I just want the entire crew to be super powerful. The weaker members of the crew really need to be handle themselves. And Frankie talking about making new weapons is also sweet.

[uniaka ikuzakas]

So the magic wand Usopp said he wasn't able to include in Nami's new weapon I guess is reserved for much later as her final weapon?

I'm not sure how much the road from Zou to cake island and back to Wano will last, but Reverie should be before Kaidou's defeat?

[Devil G.]

I loved the interactions, time for the long—awaited Reverie!

[RickM.]

Can't wait for Nami to fight! And I hope Sanji fights his father!

[Ukimix]

@Black:

I absolutely love Zou, both the country and the arc and whilst I'm sad to see it go I have to say that it's just one of the best arcs in One Piece. It has a very similar feeling to the in-between arcs like Jaya, Whiskey peak and Saobody, concise arcs full of set up, answers, cool new characters and their own self contained story that make for the best arcs in One Piece and I think Zou stands on top of them all.

New weapon for Nami pretty much confirms she's going to get a fight soon and I really hope Carrot stowed away in Luffy's bag. Really great to see Vivi coming back in action after a slog of shitty princesses and then my biggest question is when is Jinbei going to join up with the Strawhats. Could it be that he's actually taking the poneglyph he acquired int he cover story to appease Big mom and Luffy and the gang will meet him on Whole cake island. Man it's feels great to be hype about One Piece again!

Sure, the chapter has a taste of adventure. You can feel it in the air in that final jump. I liked it! The arc was simple and went straight to the points it touched with out dragging too much. Also I'm pretty glad with the split of the crew. Now some good nice chapters about the other teams different than Luffy's one would be the icing on the cake.

Mark my words, kaido is gonna attack the reverie to get shirahoshi

[joesephes]

So Robin is going to Wano with Zoro, Law, and Kin? Awesome! Also, Nami's new Clima-tact is quite interesting. I might be able to come up with some new techniques out of it for my Rokushiki Nami project after I see some of it's abilities in action! :D

Anyways, this was a nice chapter overall. :)

[omy785]

Confirmation that Oda is a perv…Nami stroking on the stick can make it grow larger..ok...

And Carrot is obviously with Luffy...

[Kishido]

@moud:

he knows the situation in Wano best it makes sense to be leading them, team Zoro probably would've ended up on some random island in god knows where

Yeah and Pekomz knows Big Mom's situation the best

[Sir_Drastic]

Great Chapter I'm a big Fan of Nami's Climatact power up.

[Kdom]

How many time has Luffy jump into the void since the beginning ? 3 ? 4?

[fuzi11]

Everyone thinking of genitals when Nami uses her new clima tact. The only thing this reminded me of was Son Goku's Nyoi Bo (Power Pole).

[BlackLegEd]

@omy785:

And Wanda and her where pretty much making out :ninja:

[uniaka ikuzakas]

@Maju:

Mark my words, kaido is gonna attack the reverie to get shirahoshi

Mark my words: Kaidou will be busy going to Zou and beat the giant elephant to show who is the strongest creature and kidnapp Momonosuke.

World's strongest creature vs World's biggest creature hype.

Maybe he can go to reverie too, as long as luffy's journey takes long…

[Kishido]

@Nekketsu:

No sign of Carrot in the entire chapter. She either has already snuck in the Sunny without anyone noticing or is inside Luffy's bag, but she's joining for sure, and I'm hella happy with that!

Yup I have no doubt that she will be there as well…

[Psycrow]

@BlaZing:

Just a pointless chapter with no sign of Kaido or the other gazillion humongous plots and world building to be revealed of One Piece and we are almost 70% done. Same old useless and repetitive interactions such as luffy getting ready to climb or to descend yada yada instead of showing us some other important plot points and interaction. No Fights/Important reveals literally boring filler chapter 3/10 would not read again.

You're entitled to your opinion but, we just finished neverending Dressrosa and then story-filled Zou, I don't need to see all hell break loose right after to be happy.

[Maju]

carrot being with Luffy is a possibility, but I the panel with the whole 6 guys seemed to be kinda 'definitive'… but Oda also likes to swap things Constantly.. in the last couple chapters the groups have changed several times already.
but I still think it' 's more about people really wanting her in the group :p

[RomanceDawn]

Dang, Carrot sneaking in a bag is that obvious? I thought I'd be the first one…

Nami was funny this chapter!

[uniaka ikuzakas]

Pedro that likes to hide in trees and is known for that is going to Big mom.

Big mom has a tree on her flag….

[Kishido]

I'm interested in this magic wand right now… and I forgot... Where is this wind knot actually?

[flea]

Can't remember what that magic wand that Nami had supposedly told Usopp about in Sabaody is…
And why couldn't they incorporate it in the new clima tact?

[will-of-R]

Yeah that old feeling is back, the best of op when focusing on SHP + Vivi

[omy785]

The color panel last chapter is pretty much self explanatory…

Same here.I was wonderginwhat use could have the lenght of a superlong bar in One Piece. Dragon Ball conection to the palace in the air was marvelous!

[OkamaKing]

"Nami likes sleeping on my stomach"

Father Yomo best mink.

[moud]

@Kishido:

Yeah and Pekomz knows Big Mom's situation the best

benefits of being a MC, and i think pekoms is in no position to lead right now

@OkamaKing:

"Nami likes sleeping on my stomach"
Father Yomo best mink.

i second this, funniest moment in the chapter by far

[Maju]

@omy785:

It also had Momo, which is not going

Meh, I'd give it a solid 5/7.

[Kishido]

I still can't believe that Jack won't return to Zou soon

[Maju]

@Kishido:

I still can't believe that Jack woN#t return to Zou soon

Jack is gone, let it go

just don't read weekly and you'll be fine

[Thatanas]

So, the guy walking up the stairs behind Vivi on the final page, that's Pell right?

[Lumia]

@Thatanas:

I guess it's him !

Awesome and refreshing chapter !

[Kishido]

@Maju:

Jack is gone, let it go

No, not with the fact that they evne asked last chapter how he was able to get to zou… Is there a traitor?

[Chemie]

@fuzi11:

I thought the same, my shonen childhood memories saved me from the this otaku connotation. But still a really funny chapter, best part besides the "Desending" was Mirage Tempo check bailing.

[ICEMAN]

Finally Lola's vivre card will probably come into play.
And Carrot probably went ahead and hid inside Luffy's ship.

[Murcielago]

Luffy couldn't sense Pedro back in the forest. It makes him really good at hiding.

[omy785]

@Maju:

It also had Momo, which is not going

So? It has also the others samurai, Inu and Neko…if you don't see the difference there between Carrot and the Samura...

[Psycrow]

What's the break schedule for planned breaks like goldenweek? I'm sure I could find it somewhere but there'll be some smart person who knows already, and that's what we pay you for.
What? You get paid $0? Then we should double it!

[GetsugaZoro]

@Maju:

Momo was at the center because him and Luffy were the main characters being focused at the time.

[BeariousJones]

@myogatheflea:

The appearance of Vivi at the end there has to imply the Reverie is where the story is changing focus. King Riku mentioned it was coming up shortly at the end of Dressrosa and there is no other story reason to go back to her at the moment. Consider me hyped!
Reverie might happen during the whole Wano arc!? That would be epic.

Also, I'm curious to see the dynamic Pedro brings to the Luffy's team, I'm sure people will be calling him the next Straw Hat within a few pages of this thread (for better or worse).

I am curious to. I predicted Pedro, Carrot, Wanda, and Sicilian going to the Tea Party. Pedro for sure is going, Carrot being on colorspread AND having NO panel time in ch 822 means to me she is probably sneaking on, while I get at least Wanda, Sicilian, and others WANTING to go so I'll take it.

@sanji''s_dad:

i have already said that he and pekoms will just lead the mink alliance plus we have seen they have a ship to follow the straw hats around bear thinks he will join the crew while i say he will just do the mink alliance just like the dwarf alliance ship.

By bear do you mean me? :wassat:

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi to me will lead the Minkmen alliance. And I don't see the Gomu Gomu Grand Fleet getting any more divisions(only 16 spots open) unless maybe for Whitebeard's crew. But I think WB Pirates will join 4th division (4 members only, Martial art themed WB Pirates joining) and 6th division(5 members, add 4-5 possible Giants and Wadatsumi?) So not sure about Pedro or Pekoms leading the alliance.

@myogatheflea:

Yeah, I totally agree. I just know how some people think, ha ha. I'm most curious to see how he interacts with the crew and Pekoms to get more of his personality. Oda wouldn't add him to the equation without merit.

Pedro will have some important role at the Tea Party. Maybe he does something really cool that tames Pekoms? :wassat:

[SabZ]

Since Saboady One Piece has been very hectic. Apart from that small stint at Amazon Lily, there's been no real breathing room. Impel Down, the War, Fishmen Island, Punk Hazard and Dressrosa - the Straw Hats haven't had too much time to enjoy some peace together and to rethink their mission to reach Raftel. Zou has been a very refreshing arc that has taken a leap in the overall story of OP. The interactions between the crew has been classic One Piece stuff… it reminds me of the simpler times back before Water 7. I said it last week, or the week before, that Zou is parallel to the Jaya Arc in terms of its purpose and the general feel about it. Now the adventure really starts. I doubt we'll see the Reverie in the next few chapters seen as Vivi is only just setting off from Alabasta. Either Oda will fast track to the Reverie in the next chapter or wait until the point he switches the story from Luffy's team to Kinemon's team or back to Zou.

What are the chances of Blackbeard interrupting the Reverie meeting? It's the type of shit he'd do, but there'll have to be an ulterior motive for him. Either way I think something big is going to happen at the Reverie. Something including the whole Blackbeard/ Aokiji sub plot, which I think Dragon may be involved in. Those frozen level 6 prisoners on Punk Hazard, maybe we'll see them set free. One thing's for sure, the meeting is set up for Vivi to get some revenge on that idiot Wapol, give him a bitch slap.

It'll be a few years for the next adventure to finish. It took so long to defeat Donflamingo, now the target is Kaidou & Big Mom. There are so many roads the plot could take from now on, Oda really knows how to create multiple plotlines in a short time.

[BlackLegEd]

Will Nami create a cloud and fly on it? Find out next time on DBZ!
@GetsugaZoro:

Momo was at the center because him and Luffy were the main characters being focused at the time.

Gonna nitpick and say Momo was next to Chopper and not in the center.

[ladyhawke]

So Chopper ended up having a chat with Zunisha, as expected. Or did he? It's hard to tell since it's been off paneled.
Momo is staying on Zou, so he can have a chat with Zunisha, and Inu is staying to protect Wano. Lol now I realize that Greg's theory about Luffy flying on Momo's back to fight Kaido just went out of the window.:ninja:
So they're going to use den den mushis to stay in contact, and Zou and Wano don't use them. Makes sense since they're isolated. Honestly everyone should go and save Sanji, the more the merrier!
Lol but seriously I expected Pedro at least to go, and to me he looks like a furry version of Sanji but is he really Pekoms' bro? Interesting.
And yep Nami has Nyoibo now,she's like the Son Goku of the story XD And Sanji is Sha Gojyo for sure, since he's an ero kappa.

I'm so happy that Zoro is going to Wano, he's going to meet plenty of samurai there.Lol at Luffy descending the elephant I knew he'd do something like that.
So we're going to see the reverie next. I bet Vivi and Cobra are going to advocate for abolishing the Shichibukai system.

That was a good chapter overall, and I didn't even read the spoilers this time.

[Black Leg]

I wish Nami would sleep on my belly

[le crystal]

Bearious Jones I instantly thought about u when I read this chapter XD

Anyway… the immortal and the princess returns!! Finally the reverie! I am more hyped on this than wano, sth is wrong with me :ninja:

[Kdom]

@Kishido:

No, not with the fact that they evne asked last chapter how he was able to get to zou… Is there a traitor?

I guess that is why Inu and Momo stays on Zou. So that part of the plot is explained.

@GetsugaZoro:

Momo was at the center because him and Luffy were the main characters being focused at the time.

Yeah but what is the point then if one character is missing ?

[SomeRandomGuy]

@Psycrow:

You're entitled to your opinion but, we just finished neverending Dressrosa and then story-filled Zou, I don't need to see all hell break loose right after to be happy.

Please don't feed the trolls.

[GetsugaZoro]

@BlackLegEd:

Gonna nitpick and say Momo was next to Chopper and not in the center.

By center I meant not in the background, up front I guess.

@Kdom:

Yeah but what is the point then if one character is missing ?

Which one?

[Kishido]

Again the question to the new clima tact… Magic Wand is interesting... But I still want to know what happened to the wind knot of Weatheria...
