in pink, who those chins/mouths belong to??
Saint Jalmack & Agyo, the Fighting Lion.
in black, who the hell are those people??
Scarlet from Strong World and Raise Max & Mad Treasure from Film Gold.
in purple, what is that thing even supposed to be??
Klabautermann.
Bege's reaction to Luffy revealing himself to Big Mom, priceless.
I'm not shortselling them at all. I'm just saying that so far what has Big Mom done to show us that she can compete with Emperors,
We have yet to see the other yonko even do anything. We still haven't seen BM fight either. Why make comparisons with no information?
Are you suggesting that an Emperor like Kaidou wouldn't brush aside whatever Haki or defense she has?
Why are you so sure he can? Last I checked, we know nothing about him as far as abilities go.
I have a fight prediction: Morgans vs Donald Trump. Big news vs fake news.
I enjoy the chapter, capones face, luffy being luffy, carrot and chopper stuffing their faces with cake, jimbe and Brook.
I would like to point out that the stalemate between the yonkos is not because they are exacly as powerful, the stalemate is because if one fights the other the victor would be weakend from the fight and another yonko would come and finish him off, so they are at a stalemate because they are gathering power to defeat the others overwhelmingly. I'm only writing this some people bring to often the argument of yonkos being equal.
"What are you saying Jinbe, you can't join my crew if your dead!"
Um…so what does that make Brook?!

Ugh, honestly it should have just be amber. Mochi makes no sense when logias were explained to be naturally occurring elements in nature. Amber on the other hand, comes from trees, which are naturally occurring, so that would make much more sense.
It's not really Mochi. It just stickyness.

Trebol had the Beta Beta no Mi (Sticky Sticky Fruit).
So a few things that flew over my head on the first read through:
the out of place "stop analyzing me" line from Dogtooth is referring to Jinbei who analyzes him later on.
the vision that he foresees of Luffy destroying the picture is him seeing Brook dressed up as Luffy?
Katakuri makes the mistake of telling everyone to ignore all the other Luffys because they're all animals changed by Brulee's powers which actually helps Brook find that super easy opening to just approach the picture without interference.
Brook has done the most damage to a Yonkou since we saw the Blackbeard crew shoot up Shirohige, low-key the real MVP of this arc and I'm so glad he's getting these awesome feats back to back and he's doing them in such an entertaining way too.
- the vision that he foresees of Luffy destroying the picture is him seeing Brook dressed up as Luffy?

No, when we see his prediction we see Luffy's fist smashing the picture not Brook's hammer.
@Medical:

That was a Paramecia. And it was more specifically Mucus.
@Tamiel:

OK, that one I was unsure of hence the question mark next to it, so he basically can't see multiple things happening all at once like I thought initially, thanks.
So, Trebol's powers and Katakuri's powers have the same basic sticky attribute, the only difference that I see is that one is a Paramecia while the other is a Logia. And the former can light his substance on fire. I'm pretty sure we haven't seen all Katakuri has to offer, but as of now, his DF power doesn't really stand out. At least, imo.
@HTC:
Just to nitpick what was an otherwise good chapter: wasn't the face scar on Luffy's "clones" supposed to be on the other side?
It's Mirrored! Look in a mirror, your left becomes your right, it's actually very consistent.

The new Doctor Who episode actually played with that, with a reflection that actually mimicked the person bring a clue to the monster of the week
Charlotte is the name of well known fictional spider, imagine all these Charlotte kids swarm around her someday and kill her one day because they're basically treated like trash, let's face it. How can you call your son lowly underling and kill any kid you deem fit, I am hoping they all revolt against her and do away with her, would save the trouble of any "good" character having to deal with her and permanently take her out of the picture.
loved the reveal of the mochi logia. mochi being a natural element is hilarious and fits perfectly with the world of one piece.
Oh man, completely forgot about Trebol lighting his mucus on fire. What a terrible rando power.
We have yet to see the other yonko even do anything
we didn't see it but we know Shanks can go toe to toe with Kaido
I love the running gag of people calling Caesar all kinds of negative stuff and the latter reacting to the insults angrily/tearfully.
we didn't see it but we know Shanks can go toe to toe with Kaido
All we know is that they had a skirmish. Nothing more.
Hi guys, great chapter! 10/10.
"Turn all these faces into me" the guy when he is king orders and does not ask, kkkk in the last chapter I imagined even if they were animals, after all they already had mostly quadruped profile and the like.
And in the end Jimbei has a nice turn in the climax before the Capone Bege plan even goes into action.
mochi being a logia makes sense when buddha is a zoan
I can't be the only one who noticed Brook jumping with the rest of Luffy clones in the page where the cake is falling down.
Also, is it just me, or did Smoothie forget about how she intentionally blocked information from reaching Big Mom?

His DF doesn't seem that amazing but he CAN use Armament Haki with his fruit and managed to both injure and capture Luffy at the same time. Oh, and he can see the immediate future and snipe with jelly beans. If he catches someone with his fruit so they can't move and snipes them it is over.
His attack showed power and range (Luffy-esque), and then to top it off if he lands one hit his opponent can't escape without water. I certainly wouldn't pick a fight with him.

Me neither. My Observation is decent, albeit unreliable, but my Armaments is a mess. Can't even make my fists go black.
I always carry a bottle of water with me, though.
It's impressive how he caught Luffy, then hardened the tip in a fraction. Well, I assume that's what happened, because nothing else makes sense.

Was waiting for it because of one line, but it looks pretty much the same.
When Potato says "Don't analyze every little thing about me.", before Jinbe frees Luffy. Sounds a little bit off considering the context.
Unless he was replying to what Jinbe was going to say after the fact.
I still don't get that ''cake solves all'' prediction. Isn't BM more likely to keep sanji around if he shows his awesome cook skills? Considering he is much better then the guys she has and killed this chapter.
And BM is aware of pudding's memory powers. Wh would pudding not delete from her family memory that she has that power and not allow them to guess what she can do to them? If she did change their memories and all will be revealed. And BM doesn't suspect anything at all knowing she has that power? Considering how she treats her family bad, she should expect betrayal.

She might have gotten the fruit at an early age. So making everyone forget might be more effort than it's worth, or even impossible. Furthermore, what if BM wants to give her a new devil fruit, because she doesn't remember she already has one? I think she'd only complicate things for herself.
Oh man, completely forgot about Trebol lighting his mucus on fire. What a terrible rando power.
What about Marigold and Daruma?

I think people have a false idea of just how easy it is for Pudding to manipulate memories. With Reiju she had physically interact with her head and the process took time. I really doubt she could easily do that to the likes of Big Mom.

Oda will make up whatever convenient plot circumstances are necessary for Big Mom to be vulnerable. If we are to learn about Pudding manipulating Big Mom's memories in, say, an Elbaf marriage flashback, there's all sorts of factors that could be at play to make it possible. Oda will do whatever he wants to make sure the plot flows how he wants to build-up stuff. Like having Luffy reel in a random poisonous fish and recklessly eat it so Reiju can be introduced and have an excuse to show off her poison sucking abilities. Or Pudding happening to be Bond villain monologuing when Sanji is visiting her room, as well as bragging to Luffy and Nami about killing Sanji at the wedding for no other reason besides sheer arrogance, because the plot deems it necessary for the Straw Hats to have ample knowledge to prepare a plan for the wedding. Or Kaido's introduction and meeting the Kid Alliance in general. Or Law's fruit being broken on paper, yet he still gets beaten by Doflamingo and Trebol because of inferior physical stats and without even switching their minds to confuse them. Or Usopp's face being scary enough to make Sugar faint just because.
He doesn't care about power levels, as he makes shortcuts for whatever makes the narrative more interesting as the priority. And Big Mom's a pretty arrogant and petty lady in general, so it's not hard for her family to manipulate. Which they've already been doing by hiding secrets about events that have happened in her own living quarters.
So…
Snack-who knows??
Moscato-rip
Cracker-beaten up
Brulee-kidnapped
Praline-Gone
Chiffon-openly betraying Momma
Pudding-failing to do her part of the plan
Opera-on the run???
This family is falling to shit, now I'm really wondering what side are DogTooth and Smoothie gonna take once BM goes nuts on everyone.

I thought that was obvious, because Katakuri knew what Jinbei was going to say.
About memory-manipulating Big Mom, it's really not THAT hard if you're no complete stranger to her. Just wait a little bit until the right moment and then do it. It may not be completely trivial, but also not too farfetched either.

Besides, we've seen that her observation haki is not that great when sleeping. Otherwise they wouldn't be able to retrieve Brooke at all.
If I had a nickle for everytime Forneverworld or another youtube fan says "BEST CHAPTER 2017" or "BEST CHAPTER OF TIMESKIP!"
I'd have a fuck ton of nickles.

I reread the chapter to understand want you meant and you may be right. I didn't even think of Armament Haki when Katakuri kicked Luffy with his DF power and just assumed it really hurt Luffy regardless of his rubber body.
Knowing this plus all the other stuff he can do just made Katakuri ten times cooler in my eyes.
I think he was referring to mom
No he was replying to Jinbei who reveals his powers and talks about its weakness, using his future seeing powers.
Also I think he covers his mouth because he's conscientious about what people say about it and it pisses him off hence him saying "stop analyzing every little thing about me" might have a further meaning somewhere down the line. You can see the stitches appear either side of his face coming up from his mouth. He probably kills everyone who makes a comment about it too.

When you have some mastery over your devil fruit I think you can clad yourself in haki whilst retaining the properties of your ability, like the stickiness in Katakuri's case. Like when Luffy goes gear fourth but still has the rubbery-ness, didn't doflamingo comment on this when he kicked him and the attack bounced off or something?

True, it does make sense. Its just that I've never seen a Logia user who can use their fruit in tandem with CoA (unless Smokey somewhat counts). Yeah, Mingo commented on Gear Fourth's hardened rubber.

He is a big joke.
EDIT: Also, comparing Smoothie's interaction with Mont d'Or (with Monty effectively holding the power in terms of intelligence, at least, administrative control) to Katakuri's intervention, the gap between the sweet commanders seems huge. Katakuri has some real initiative, beyond clairvoyance, whereas, Smoothie has shown herself to be a bit sloppy, at least, little more than a thick juicer. I'm sure Oda has more in store for her, but so far, she's been quite uninspiring.
Well what do you expect with Oda?

To be fair, this probably is the best One Piece chapter of 2017 so far, or at least to me. The only real competition was naptime with Big Mom. Best since the timeskip is just plain wrong though.
