One Piece Volume 86 will be on sale 4th August 2017, with One Piece Party Volume 03
Volume 86 Predictions/Discussion
-
-
I sent a drawing… .. .
-
I'm thinking one of two designs:
One has the wedding cake as the centerpiece, with Sanji and Pudding at the altar. Luffy and Bege are in the background on either side. In the front we'll have Big Mom, Katakuri, and Jinbe, and maybe other cast members as well, possibly the Underworld emperors. The color will be yellow-ish or tan/amber, probably.
Other design is a huge villain cover to complement Vol. 85's cover - Big Mom, Katakuri, Smoothie, Monty, and of course Pudding. Maybe whoever steps up during the wedding as well.
-
A release date so soon. We barely have half the book's content at this point, which isn't great for speculation. Until a better one comes along, I pick chapter 859's "Emperor Assassination Scheme" as the title. It reads well, it was set up well enough from the end of the last one not to be at all a spoiler, and is just straight up hype as a volume title. It emphasises to the volume readers that after all these years, this is the book where an Emperor fight happens for real.
No real theories on cover design from me until the rest of the volume is actually out, but I will say I don't think we're getting a villains only cover, even though there's at least one person in every thread clamoring for one. We're probably not getting one for Totland, since the Charlotte family's size and structure doesn't lend itself easily to pairing off with heroes for definitive one on one battles. The Donquixote family was big, but there were enough local allies to even it out. The strawhats have eight people against something like twenty named Charlotte siblings and underlings so far. Even if all the Vinsmokes, Capone and all his named underlings including Gangster Gastino and Pudding join the fight on Luffy's side, it's still not an even enough showdown for those sweet sweet villains/heroes parallel covers. (though I shouldn't be too resolute in this line of reasoning, since the Dwarfs made it onto v78 and tipped the scales heavily to one side… the bottom line is I don't feel now is the right time for another of those covers, let it rest til Wano)
-
I feel like it's a nice time to ressurect this thread, since we're less than 2 months away from the volume release and we probably have the complete list of chapters featured, which will be a perfect fit! The volume will begin with Bege explaining the plan to assassinate Big Mom, proceed through the wedding crashing and finish exactly as the plan completely fails. I'd like to see "Emperor Assassination Plan" as the title, as it perfectly fits the events of the volume and generates quite the hype for volume-only-readers once they see it. I'd also like to see Katakuri in the cover, and the wedding cake in the background, with Luffy, Bege, and Mother Carmel's picture (or herself) somewhere as well.
-
I think we're getting at least one more chapter in this one. Presumably, the next chapter will be Luffy and co. regrouping inside Bege and making a survival plan with him, so if that one opens volume 87, we'll have two books in a row that open with a Bege related planning scene. I think it would make more sense to have volume 86 bookended by the assassination plan at the start and the presumed survival plan at the end, then jump back into the action with volume 87.
There's no way the title won't be Emperor Assassination Plan, and my predictions for the cover characters are Luffy, Bege, Sanji, Jinbe and Caesar - all our big important players in the assassination plan - front and center, with Big Mom and Judge more in the background, maybe both crying out, making parallels of each other. If there's space, we might see Katakuri and Pudding alongside Big Mom, and probably in that case Ichiji and Reiju with Judge for balance.

No Sanji and Pudding standing next to each other or one holding the other as groom and bride? I am ashamed. I agree about the first paragraph, although I do think that this latest chapter can also be the ending due to showing the end/failure of the assassination plan.

Ohh emphasising them as a couple would be neat. Though they weren't actually onscreen in that capacity for long, huh? I just had sort of a layout in mind that I'd been musing on through my work day.
-
Let's get a bit more conceptual: three levels of characters- supporting cast on bottom, Luffy, Bege, Caesar, and maybe Jinbe in the middle, and Sanji and Pudding on top, all arranged in gently arcing curves as though they are the cake. Then we get Big Mom looming/drooling in the background as she eyes them.
-
Yohohohohoho..!!!!
Nah Brook! you deserve to Vol. 87! This one will contain Pudding and Sanji in wedding gowns plus the cake at the center with Big Mom above smiling like a crazy gal, Morganz and the other guests along Vinsmokes and crew surrounding both flan and curly while Luffy below looking up with a determined face.
-
With chapter 869 out, I'm changing up my prediction. While it's a great frenetic burst of action, it doesn't feel like it ends strong enough to cap off a volume. The big reveal of Bege's ridiculous castle form and the huge money shot of it at the end leaves more of an impression and raises more questions to bring a reader back than the more exposition-y final pages of this chapter. I hadn't thought it would take so many pages to get everyone inside the castle in my last prediction.
But hey, I've been extremely wrong about these kinds of things before…
-
Chapter 869 kind of fits as an exciting way to close off Volume 86. But I still feel like it will only go on to Chapter 868 just because. I agree that Chapter 869 isn't the strongest volume finale.
-
Actually, I think chapter 868 fits as an ending chapter to this volume. In the beginning we learnt about the plan and in the end we see that the plan failed. The end of chapter 869 was more impactful and would serve as well, but I won't be surprised if volume 86 ends at 868.
-
,^Totally agree with you. I could see either chapter end the volume, both are equally oh shit moments, but for the sake of having the average 10 chapters per volume, I'd say it's ending on 868. Is it too much to ask for Big Father on a volume cover? Maybe 87? Maybe it won't survive past 3 or 4 chapters anyway, but it's so damn cool .
-
686 it will be, great ending with the plan failing and a huge castle out of nowhere is their only way to save themselves.
-
The Volume 86 will consist 224 pages which i will be 11 Chapters From Chapter 859 - " Yonko Assassination Plan " to 869 - " Under Siege ".

Exactly what most of us through wouldn't happen after we read the chapter. There's just no predicting Oda, is there?
Kinda boosts the chances of Germa as a whole featuring heavily on the cover. I'm not sure what kind of layout to picture now.
-
From Yonko:
Probably just cause of the Promo (and how the 2 stand out) I will assume Pudding and Sanji will be on the cover.
-
I really want to see Katakuri, Capone and Big Mom on the cover, but if Sanji and Pudding are gonna appear, don't know if there's room to everyone. It's a pity if that happens, because I think the three I mentioned were the highlights of this volume.
-
Still holding out hope that Katakuri's coloring is pink like tamago and pekomamushi's were.

How about black clothes with pink mochi powers? The ultimate cheesy contrast.
-
So when do we usually get the cover?
-
-
@Count:
I believe around three weeks before the release date.
So soon, good to hear.
Hope part of your idea for the cover comes true.
-
-
The trio in the middle makes this cover ^^
-
One Piece Volume 86 tittle is "Yonkou Assassination Plan".
-
This post is deleted!
-
Everybody called that Pudding and Sanji would be included. Nonetheless, that's a good cover.
Gastino, Luffy, and Capone acting all Three Stooges in the middle sells it.
-
Great cover, nice to see Pudding.
Though I swear her eye color changes from the colored manga and anime.
-
I didn't actually expect their clothes to be anything other than black like Capone's. I kinda like it, though I would've preferred Ceasar having a purple suit. Yellow is my least favourite color :P (Wouldn't Ceasar's yellow suit be light in the manga? This kinda leads me to believe the color choices were a spontaneous decision by Oda)
-
Pudding also has a really pointy nose.
-
I was expecting to see more of Big Mom's crew, especially Katakuri's colors. Still a nice cover though! Next volume is probably going to be the end of the Whole Cake Island arc.
-
Sad there's no Katakuri on it, but that trio looks incredible! Good cover!
-
Damn, that's a fine cover. Just the right amount of characters and they're pretty contained toward the center with the wedding pair up front. Looks good.
Pez has pink hair, that's cute.

Funnily enough, in his recent appearance in the manga, he has light brown hair.
Someone dun goofed.
-
I LOVE. THIS COVER. SO MUCH.
-Doesn´t pay attention to the bottom couple…-
LOOK AT THEM LOOK AT CAESAR AND LUFFY AND BEGE IM HOWLING
AND MY BOY VITO
VITO IS THERE
I WAITED SO LONG TO SEE HIS COLORS BY ODAI´M
-
Can't say I wasn't half-expecting it, but if there was one time that I really, really, really wished Oda would restrain himself and refrain from giving everyone Skittle-colored outfits, it would be this one.
-
Cover. Is. Magnificent.

I think that was in the anime
-
like how you can still see Luffy's strawhat.

In a shocking turn of events, it turns I as well also dun goofed.

Well you were right.
-
Luffy, Bege and Caesar are just like the Three Stooges.

Larry = Luffy
Curly = Caesar
Moe = BegeWho's the shem?

Clearly Gotti .

-
Sad that Katakuri isn't there, but there'll be more opportunities for him to get on the cover, I guess. At least, we got Capone.
-
Well you were right.
Eh, it was a predictable guess. What would have been good is suggesting that Luffy, Bege, and Caesar are in the center of the cover. Sanji and Pudding look cute though.
And I like Caesar's yellow suit. Yellow suits him because of gases and yellow hazard signs. He even used to wear a yellow jumpsuit under his cloud cloak. I like how Luffy's clothes are red like his main look instead of how dark they look in the manga, but I don't really know if the black fedora blends well even if he's wearing hints of a black undershirt. A black fedora would actually work more if Luffy wore what he's wearing in your avatar lol.

Good, the Firetank Pirates are in. Lovely cover.
