cringiest line ever coming from Luffy.
so everyone will just end up helping his ass all the way to Raftel, what a really fearsome ability as Mihawk once said.
im sad my favorite manga is going this direction :(

I had goosebumps throughoust most parts of the chapter, especially when Jimbei decided to stay behind. Luffy trusts him completely.
I always assumed the strongest fishmen were capable of destroying fleets and I´m glad we got to see a glimpse of their power.
I´m satisfied with the escape.
Hmm… Well I ain't as mad as I thought I'd be.
The switcheroo worked just fine. I actually liked the visuals to it all. Wadatsumi was very endearing. Mascotto up and at em was expected 9 milliseconds after Big Mom "killed" him. And well I really really liked the interaction between Jimbei and Luffy. I don't like what it is seemingly resulting in but I love the mad a$$ dad look Luffy is giving Jimbei and their exchange of words.
There was a lot of weight given to that scene so it really does look like we are going to have to wait just a little bit longer for Jimbei to travel around with the crew in full. At the very least we shouldn't have any major detours beyond the Reverie. There could also be a really cool pay off to Jimbei joining later with a tearful good bye between him and his old crew. I don't like the idea though, I really really don't. It's just been so long and playing the long game has its limits!
Even though whats been said seems like one of those Oda promises I wonder if this moment will be likened to Luffy's original comment about not helping Ace when the Vivre card showed his decreasing life span. I feel like there is still time for some sort of surprise ending that would allow Jimbei and the rest to get out scot free before Luffy and the gang are too far away. I mean Big Mom is still in active pursuit and the cake didn't stop her long enough for a full escape. I believe Big Mom is going to catch up, words will be exchanged and she's going to learn that Sanji made the cake. Between that, Germa and the Sun Pirates I just don't see things being done so soon.
That opening color spread in 2017 that had the crew wearing all that blue with a blue whale and blue shark led me to believe that 2017 would finally end with Jimbei's 9th Person chapter. I feel like Oda was ready to do it at the end of this arc with everything that has gone down. I hope he still does and this is just a bit of a fake out.
Oda don't make me slap no body. Get Jimbei's big apples on the Sunny and call it day!

It's way more realistic then him one shotting his way to Raftel.
In real life, you need a lot of help to get to the top. You can't get there yourself, otherwise the whole world will gang up on you. Gaining power is just as much about gaining allies as it is about being powerful yourself.

Luffy is defeating stronger and stronger opponents every time, what are you on about?
Luffy went into a fortress with thousands of soldiers and a Yonkou crew with only a handful of people. You want him to KO everyone and leave as the pirate king or..?
That is possible, quite a good point. That still leaves the question of a) what happens to the Fishmen, b) what happens to Germa, and most importantly c) if the Straw Hats escape Totto Land and head to Wano, there's no way that Big Mom just lets them go, so they're going to have the BMP on their tails.
Does that mean that we'll see both crews at Wano? Will the Straw Hats somehow find a way to make the BMP lose their tail? Not sure, personally I'd prefer the BMP get dealt with by themselves at Elbaf, and leave Wano to only the Beast Pirates. What do you think?
After this chapter, with how Jimbe was left behind, I do believe Big Mom will go to Wano and we'll get some of the resolutions there.
In fact, I must say that Mr. Morj just made a video with this theory, with you want to check it up:
Jinbei didn't join yet because Oda wants the whole crew for the actual moment when it happens, that's why they are going to wait for Jinbei to get to Wano.
No Sanji this whole chapter? Wonder if Oda didn't show him for a reason…
@LUFFY#1:
Jinbei didn't join yet because Oda wants the whole crew for the actual moment when it happens, that's why they are going to wait for Jinbei to get to Wano.
He didn't have a problem with that when Sanji joined.
Absolutely loving the design of Gerth on the cover page! And boy does Morgans look evil in that last panel :D
No Sanji this whole chapter? Wonder if Oda didn't show him for a reason…
He was in a quick panel.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Absolutely loving the design of Gerth on the cover!
Why? It's just another Nami clone.
I like how you unlock a cape when you defeat Katakuri, lol. Nice bonus!
On a lighter note, I must say that Big Mom is the most stylish pirate ever. Her Jet Ski homie is the best, lol.
Yeah, Looks like the frog prince.
After a clash with genie Sanji just disappear ? Or Did i miss something ?
After a clash with genie Sanji just disappear ? Or Did i miss something ?
He was in the background this chapter and last chapter.
Luffy is doing a Shanks-stance in that Wano-Panel.
of all the option that came out in these 2 weeks, oda choose the less farfetched but it's still kind of forced since wadatsumi shouldn't be able to pass through the boiling water, even if really fast
using wadatsumi'smouth as a "coating" makes sense and eliminates the other "improbable" parts of that theory…
still, oda used a bit lof trickery because the rear of the ship that was hit looked like the sunny..but again, it's an explosion so he can change a bit the shapes
the amount of shit the strawhats managed to make people do for their escape is still on the rise.,..but at least this time you can say that they are mainly helping their captain..so it's ok that they are sacrificing the ship
the joining moment of jinbe is delayed once again...a bit disappointed, but if he really comes back in wano, it's just a slight delay
morgans is gonna come out with some BIG NEWS
also, since they are noow kind of officially escaped, i can say it..if big mom doesn't strart sending them the head of everyone they know in the following weeks, I call plothole
So "year" of Sanji = Sanji solving all the crew's problems?
Also, if Luffy can willpower his way through a billion deadly poisons to save Ace, then Wadatsumi can quickly reach into boiling water to do a ship swap.
An Explanation why Moscato is still alive?
Mont dor told those buddies of BM (those black "blobs") not to leave after Moscato died.
I guess usually those blobs collect the lifespans of the People and put them into flowers and other items to create Homies.
They probably put Moscato's lifespan back into himself again.
Doesn't explain the bandages though.
But that Shows how similar BM's ability is to Moria's. They steal sth from living People to "awake" dead objects by putting it into them.
Even if they get out of Totland, aren't all of the Strawhat relatives in danger? At this point I do believe the chase will keep going to Wano.
Gerth's amazing.
At first I was upset about the switcheroo, but I don't mind it now. Wadatsumi got some real development and I really like the Sun Pirates and it's FINALLY time they showed up in the main action since they were dormant for so long.
My main issue is Jinbe. I've been looking forward to him joining the crew since before it was even (sorta) confirmed all the way back in FI. The way I see it, Oda might wanted to keep the focus on Sanji for this arc. Luffy was supposed to reunite in Wano with the others with one member, not two. Having Jinbe come too would sort of diminish the impact of Sanji coming back for good for me. AS MUCH as I want Jinbe to join ASAP, seriously.
Yeah Usopp and Franky both joined in one arc, but the circumstances were a little different then imo. In fact it could be argued Robin really joined then too, so we got a threefer. Again, different circumstances.
What this delay DOES do, is open up the possibility of Jinbe having a real genuine joining moment in Wano. Both Franky and Usopp were instrumental in EL (just burning down the WG flag and the Pluton blueprints alone, among others), but imo Jinbe didn't really have any HUGE moments in WCI. Don't get me wrong, all his moments were solid af for sure, but the only real kicker for me was that he got to be Helmsman for a while, which is what he should be when he joins later on. But nothing really that crazy that I remember. Holding him off for now, hopefully, Oda will be able to bring him back in Wano in a really pivotal moment to really hammer in and cement his status as the next crewmember. I've had Jinbe joining blue balls for YEARS, I can hold off until then.
Finally, Wano is (so far) absolutely the most hype arc ever for me, by far. I really believe it'll elevate OP to another level, as it seems like the culmination of so much sheer buildup and Kaidou is just…god damn. I also can kind of predict the kind of heavy/thick tone it'll have, one that's like fuck fuck fuck we're in Wano these Beast Pirates are fucking legit crazy. If Jinbe can come back in that arc in a memorable capacity, that will hype his joining even more, I'm all for waiting. Plus, I have the sinking suspicion that we'll get another crewmember in Wano, so we could have a twofer there. Jinbe, and someone else.
That's assuming the "Luffy will have 11 crewmembers" by the end theory actually holds true. Jinbe would be the 10th, and maybe an 11th.
ALSO I'm probably misremembering this but a while back, apparently Oda gave an interview in I think Taiwan in like...2013 or something at some event where he said the next two crewmembers would join back to back. That COULD be Jinbe and someone else in Wano.
But I digress, I'm not tryna turn this post into next crewmate speculation, alls i'm saying is while I'm mad salty rn my boi Jinbe's not joining right now, I'll admit that it's a better move to hold him back IF Oda can pull off some crazier shit with him in Wano. That, and, for me this arc is really about Sanji and i'm ok with Jinbe holding back to focus more a little on his return. I mean, I'm not crazy about Sanji, but I do like him, and I do like this arc a lot. I'm fine with this being his moment.
But for fuck's sake Sanji you better get your shit together fast. I'll admit I'm more of a fan of Sanji when he's closer to Mr. Prince. The sooner he becomes that again, the better off we'll all be.
MELLORINE~!!
Maybe you answered this question before, but what is "even if you die, don't die" supposed to mean?
The actual chapter turned out better than the spoilers (whatta surprise!), but it's still disappointing nonetheless. Sanji's cake amounted to nothing. The ship switch was dumb (as in, cliffhanger just for the sake of it). And the Jimbe situation, while totally understandable from the POV of the character (his moniker as a Shichibukai was 'knight', of course he won't let people dear to him die), it's still blue balling to the maximum.
Now, a little fan theory based on jackshit. Like I was saying in the spoiler thread, I wonder if Jimbe's absence until Wano will actually be important plotwise. As in, what if the SHs were to confront an enemy who's weak against fishmen? Oda wouldn't be able to properly hype him (no need to use the 'they' pronoun–we know there won't be any super strong female adversaries; look at Big Mom's treatment alone) up if the readers knew Jimbe could take him out alone. So instead, Oda could've chosen to delay Jimbe's reunion to leave some credibility to this fanthomatic supposed anti-water enemy.
Ok, this time I'm seriously pissed.
The cliffhanger was a massive troll (expected that though). We're STILL not done with the escape. Jinbe is gone with the wind again. And the cake… the bloody cake... has had absolutely no effect whatsoever. Other than to restore Mama to exactly how she was when the wedding started. Sanji's sole cooking achievement this arc is... that he can make someone fat in a matter of minutes. This is me thrilled. And also sooooooo very glad we've had this cake-centered drama occupy the center of the scene for what felt like 20 chapters. Bah.
The chapter in itself isn't bad, but I'm just too disappointed in the larger picture to enjoy it.
So, no redemption for BigMom ? It seems the cake didn't have any effect on her, it was just "better" than previous cakes and now BM is as angry as before and chasing them. Again. So yeah, if she can't find them now, she will most probably turn her anger against fishmen and Fishmen Island.
I love the chapter.. whatever it is .. Love it totally. I can feel the despair already .. and there are so many things on the line here. 8/10
Should be obvious by now, that this ain't over, and the BMP ain't sitting that one down.
Oh look, a giant Nami with braids.
Don't mind a switch. Need to add in a cheap(er) cliffhanger here and there. Stuff was omitted from us in order to make it believable. One BMP's remark about a suspicious movements earlier doesn't make it ok. I do mind that the flag was lost and it wasn't addressed in any way. Losing the flag is a pretty big deal. Or so we've been told in Davy Back Fight arc.
Fucking hate that Jinbe gets to separate again. First it was "meetcha at FI", then it was "meetcha after I ditch BM" and now it's "meetcha at Wano". Stop teasing Jinbe!!!
There has to be a reason why Oda keeps complicating the plot, but I can't see it at the moment. Perhaps team Luffy is set to meet an obstacle that would be easier to overcome with Jinbe on board or something.
Would have prefered more involvement from SH in the escape, not gonna lie. Especially from certain someone who's had a year "dedicated to him". Making a cake is cool and all, but cake making won't make Sanji most feared by Marines. Would have also liked if there was a more immediate payoff of that cake making for Sanji. BM just ate it and it's back to business right away. No fainting, no personality change, no desire to find the person who made that perfect cake. Nope, all about Luffy's soul and new homies.
Sorry, if I post this again (cause I already did in the Spoiler 901-thread), but it doesn't happen often, that such a random idea of

http://forums.arlongpark.net/showthread.php?t=49026&page=15&p=3878862&viewfull=1#post3878862that post pretty much nailed down what happened (well, at least the first half. the enel-Thing was too good to happen).

Wait, the escape is over, I'm pretty sure. The last page had the vibe of farewall to Totland and Morgans' declaration sealed the deal. It's over.
The cake stalled Big Mom from her personal chase a long time ago, serving its original purpose. Otherwise how else they would escape from a flying Yonkou?
With Jinbe staying behid there will be only Sanji to protect Sunny if Daifuku gets to chase Strawhats.
He magically catched up to Smoothie ship after his entire fleet was drifting and he came there by himself. So somehow he can move fast from point A to point B over the sea.
With Jinbe being out we might get aerial 1 vs 1 for Sanji now, that is quite perfect set up.
I am not loosing hope.
Even if they get out of Totland, aren't all of the Strawhat relatives in danger? At this point I do believe the chase will keep going to Wano.
except they shouldn't know where they are going so as long as they get out of sight no chase can happen.
that's the entire point of this chapter, the fishman are stalling the fleet so that they can get out of the part of the sea that it's monitored

The positive reaction to Gerth, including my own, has me wondering a bit. Because appearance-wise, she's a Nami clone. But besides that…she's probably been the most positive presence in Big Mom's life. And she's stuck out to me that way.

I actually think this arc is extremely close to done. We might get 2 or so chapters to wrap up any immediate concerns, but the outcome of the Sun Pirates' attacks is gonna be held off till Wano, Big Mom is going to get to Cacao to find no Straw Hats, the Firetanks are home free, and the Germa, well, fuck 'em. The panel of the Sunny distancing itself from basically everything and going into open sea felt very conclusive to me and I'll be surprised if we aren't in Reverie within a month.

losing the flag in a davy back fight means that you can't use it anymore, ever.
here they just have to paint a new one.
Luffy and co. aren't dead?!?! Holy shit! You did it again, Oda, you absolute madman!!!
Jinbei still not fully joining is simultaneously hilarious and annoying. Maybe Oda is waiting for the whole crew to be back together. As long as this doesn't stop Carrot from joining, I'm cool. :V
you're right. just following standard op formula sigh
seem like you have no idea how a rise to power actually works.
no one rules the world alone
also, the yonkous are choke full of allied and subordinate crews that help them
why sould the strawhats solo the entire journey?

I remember seeing that and thinking... why not?Good call.
Thx, but tbh the Moment I was done typing that, I thought: "wait, Wadatsumi was also boiled by Oven."
The 2nd week of the break I was in the "damaged-but-not-destroyed"-camp.
Gerth ,yeah almost everybody guessed right it makes sense, she has similiar design to first draft of Nami i think way back minus the mechanical leg.
Watasumi was a nice suprise, too bad the switch didnt fool BMP.
Oven being constant suprise for me in good way , he has good mastery of his power .
Nice moment with Jinbei and Luffy.
I knew it Morgans would want to watch it till the end, seagull power .

I'm not talking about losing the flag in Davy Back Fight, I'm talking about the importance of the pirate flag to the pirate crew. Remember when Luffy tanked cannonballs just to preserve Hiruluk's flag?
So no, didn't expect SH would disband, but I would expect someone to notice the flag is missing and be sad about it. Get me now?

wellnone of the theories around were 100% air-tight,but the fishman pirates surviving a bit of hot water for a bit was certainly the less outrageous thing that could happen.
i've saw the theory made by other people on the internet, but you are the only one that i saw mentioning wadatsumi's mouth, so kudos.

well, in that case it was there as a memorial for hiruluk..luffy was protecting the ideals behind the flag more than just the act of losing the flag itself..but i get what you meant.
The cake stalled Big Mom from her personal chase a long time ago, serving its original purpose. Otherwise how else they would escape from a flying Yonkou?
That both disappoints and puzzles me, in fact. If the cake had left her out cold in bliss wonderland for a couple days, then at least it would have had some form of tangible payoff and I would have been willing to believe that the escape was indeed over.
But, Oda just dropped a fully-charged Big Mom back into the equation and so something has to happen to stop her from catching up. The Straw Hats couldn't distance her when she was half-starved and brain-dead from her cake obsession, I don't see how they're going to when she's back at full strength and clear-headed. I know she's supposedly too far away thanks to Chiffon's insistance on luring her to Puffs island, but seeing how relative distances and ship speeds can be in this manga I'm not really buying this as a satisfactory explanation.
So, escape not done and I expect we'll still need one or two chapters to completely wrap it up.
Maybe you answered this question before, but what is "even if you die, don't die" supposed to mean?
If I understand it correctly based on what has been mentioned already, it´s something along the lines of "don´t die, even if it kills you". Like do everything you can to survive this.

I want to agree but I can't help but think there's more to this arc for us. We can't leave Jajji yet and Pudding must still reveal that Sanji/SH's made the cake and leave Tottoland somehow. Plus the SH's still have Zeus, Nami still has Big Mom's Vivre Card, Brulee' still hasn't snitched about those poneglyphs, and Mascato is alive now somehow so I'm wondering if Opera is also alive. I'm thinking we have another 10 chapters at the least before we start to move on, and those chapters will highlight the SH's final hours in Big Mom's territory. Also I'm really hoping Jinbe dies here, as unlikely as that is thanks to this chapters title.
=D

I mean in the long run. Personally, Elbaf would be the perfect place for Big Mom to go down once and for all. And of course, Hajrudin and Gerth have to also be there to witness that.
One of the aspects that I think we've been overlooking from this chapter is that Luffy's bounty after this is going to be huge.
Defeating a 1 billion berry man and another guy who wasn't too far off from that + wrecking a Yonko's main base + a former warlord joining his crew + the assorted stuff other people have been doing under his flag (Bart took an island from another Yonko). All of that adds up to an earth-shaking bounty. And what's more, the one who'll be reporting this to the marines is someone who will be framing it all in the context of a very likely candidate for the title of pirate king.
(Stussy reports directly to the Tenryuubito, so it'll probably be Morgans that will report this to the marines)
I predict 1.5 billion minimum.
pretty big things for something that "amounted to nothing"..what did you want it to do, kill big mom?
Nothing so drastic. I would just have wanted the bliss and exhaustion to leave Big Mom out cold for a couple hours, or a couple days, which would have made her indisputably unable to participate in whatever's coming. The way things are now, it's "thank you for the meal" and then back to business immediately.
Yes, Sanji achieved a cooking feat no-one else could have and yes, it saved Tottoland (although this last part leaves me cold. I would have been okay with Big Mom destroying her dreamland as a form of karmic redemption). And it will probably buy the Straw Hats enough time to escape, but this last part is really thanks to Chiffon's dedication and has little to do with the cake itself. It made the story progress, yet I can't help but feel it's hardly satisfying as a payoff to everything Sanji endured throughout his horrible character arc.
+1 on disappointment surrounding the cake. We went through that entire weeeeeeddddiinnnggg caaaaaake problem and resolution, and now we're back to square one, with Big Mom chasing them again. No Okama Kenpo effects from eating it? What's the point of building it up as a skill in the first place? I'm still going BM is gonna come down with some sort of effect in the chapters to come.
Gerth's design looks a lot like that one original design for Nami where she was a cyborg who used a battle axe, that's neat that it came back.
Besides that I didn't particularly like chapter 900 and it's follow up isn't much better, I am very ready for this arc to end.
Big news Morgan is BAE, greatest new character

lol, naw bruh. I'm predicting 1 billion as the maximum for Luffy's bounty after this arc. Correct me if I'm wrong but Morgans only knows that Luffy wrecked havoc and beat Cracker, he may assume he beat Katakuri but he doesn't know that yet, i think.
With Jinbe staying behid there will be only Sanji to protect Sunny if Daifuku gets to chase Strawhats.
He magically catched up to Smoothie ship after his entire fleet was drifting and he came there by himself. So somehow he can move fast from point A to point B over the sea.
With Jinbe being out we might get aerial 1 vs 1 for Sanji now, that is quite perfect set up.
I am not loosing hope.
Lol, sorry bro, I don't know if we're getting another fight to pass the time yet, but I don't see Daifuku catching up, without Oven and Smoothie. And I don't foresee another Sweet Commander in combat this arc.
=D
