And Orlumbus sucks at being a classic pirate.
Looking forward to Luffy arriving on an island and being hailed as a hero and captain of their saviors. 
Chapter 910: Onwards to the Wano Country
-
-
I don't understand why the Marines "don't even dare to step a foot in Wano" when I see one half of the SHs easily infiltrating the country and the other half reaching the coast so easily.
I thought there were guard houses all over the border. Like, a Berlin Wall or the inter-Korean frontier. But actually, it's just a matter of bad weather.Think in terms of the conflict between the major powers in the NW and in terms of to which power you belong when steeping in Wano. A marine steeping in Wano has a different meaning to Wano Rulers than a BM pirate steeping there and also than if you are a member of a supernova crew. As a ruler (Kaido or the Shogun in this case) you won't bother much if it's the later but you would take much care if its a marine or another Yonkou pirate.

I thought about this argument too. But it still doesn't change that the coast isn't under close surveillance. I'll let it pass for Zoro's group, because they probably came to Wano with Law's submarine. But in Luffy's case, he better face one of the best samurais of the country in the following chapters. Because if he successfully "infiltrates" one of the most hostile countries in-universe with their sunken ship on the beach next to him. I'll have to call bullshit
Anyway, Luffy should be doing fine. I still haven't fully digested his new bounty. There is probably like, only 3 worthy opponents for him on this island.
-
@Aru:
Jesus, it's been a while since I visited the forums. Pretty hyped for Wano, I just have to read people's discussion of Luffy's Katakuri fight, sooo…
Lol have fun with that
-
Change into what exactly?
Not sure if i follow the logic here.The entire gag of putting him on an island with the problematic, cannibal genderfluid tribe of clowns was for him to experience what being a woman was like. He spent two years with them as a woman; how would that NOT change him?
-
The problem with Sanji is not his particular gag, but his non-gag-performances. He simply lacks of real great shinning moments. It was funny when he, inside Nami's boobs, got the closest look at them in Punk Hazar and after timeskip when we didn't know if he was stronger than before; but after the whole BM cake's plot line seeing his nosebleed is kind of pity. …. sigh... OP is too much Luffy-centered. Zoro's recent sepuku scene is really really great. I hope Zoro won't have Sanji's recent fate.

Oda makes always Zoro look the most badass possible. I'm not worrried about him. Especially in a country where monkeys have swords…

Watch Zoro get Conquerors Haki in Wano

That they're xenophobic and isolationist doesn't mean that they have to have their entire coast under surveillance. It's a country, not fortress. A country that in all likelyhood is at a more or less medieval level of development and might have a low population to length-of-coast ratio. If some pirate is caught trespassing, no big deal, just execute them. That way, most will be kept away by fear. Most others will have to pretend not being outsiders, thus limiting their potential for contamination of the population with foreign ideas, which was the reason for the isolationism of Edo-period Japan.
On the other hand, a WG official setting foot there might be like poking a hornet's nest, a provocation with unforseeable consequences. They don't go there, not because they don't dare face the massive firepower of some sort of Atlantic Wall type costal defense system, but because they don't dare taking the risk of making another powerful enemy when they have enough problems already. Seems perfectly plausible to me.

But it's strange nevertheless, that WG has no iformant there and do not even know how strong the Samurai are.
-

I don't think so. Take North Korea. (Yes, their southern border is fortified, but that's to keep out armies, not individuals.) The West has high-tech spy planes and satelites, and NK even lets tourists in. Yet their nuclear weapons program caught the world by surprise, and nobody outside the country really knows how their political system works.
Foreigners stick out like a sore thumb, and recruiting locals to be informants is hard in illiberal societies. It gives them an advantage in the espionage game. It's how the USSR could keep up in technology with the West throughout the Cold War. They simply stole all the great inventions and designs. It's even harder to get intelligence on a nation state that's not only illiberal, but also xenophobic and isolationist.

No one should expect such a big character-development in OnePiece. Remember how Luffy's brother died in his arms ? What happened afterwards ? nothing. Just more training and Jinbei slapping Luffy, telling him to man the fuck up

Oh, those balls aren't a myth.
Nevertheless some painting-artists back then had been obsessed by those balls.
-
@uniaka:
It doesn't help sanji that pre ts he got proper battles and mr prince missions, so his perversion was not the focus to get old fast. So he was like a zoro with perversion instead of getting lost gag.
But now he lost both mr prince missions and his proper battles and it's easier for his perversion to stand out. His biggest win with yonji 100% off panel, and his fight with luffy was like his longest battle lol.
it doesn't help that many sanji fans took him like a zoro with perversion while he was very different from the beginning.
Zoro was introduced like an already super badass who gave himself the finishing slash to the villain's arc (only time happened it wasn't luffy all time)
Sanji was introduced being conflictual with his cookmates and Zeff, being beaten by a man saved by him just minutes before, and then saved by the same man, luffy had to kick the villain's ass and almost destroyed baratie in the meanwhile.
Finally, Sanji had also to be almost forced to join strawhats being overwhelmed by all the stuff in his head.While all this was happening, zoro had his badass moment with mihawk and, even if beaten, was hyped even more.
Zoro never had a moment of doubt in all the story, Sanji was always troubled from the beginning, and that's the same things that made him go to WCI and agree to marry pudding.
I like Sanji and I believe the all zoro vs him is straight bullshit cause they are completely different and still enjoyable the same level.
Sanji's fans should start to understand that.
Sanji is the most feminine male character in any manga, get over it, I meant it in a good way, in the way of the complexity of his emotions and his struggle to bear with them. The whole okama thing to me is a joking reminder of that.that doesn't mean he won't ever get badass or mr prince moment anymore, it means that he is different from zoro.
fightwise, zoro will always be the best.
bounties maybe not, like it is now, but he will not be the most badass. never.get over it.

I have to disagree on several points here:
First (and most obvious), how did Korean nuclear program caught the world by surprise??? It was common knowledge since the 90s, that they are on their way to develop atomic bombs - the Soviet Union even put them under pressure to let go of it in the mid-80s. In 2004 a Pakistani engineer, who was responsible for the Pakistani nuclear program confessed to work with North Korea…
Next i would not compare our world with One Piece universe when it comes to infiltration... i mean, they could just have a fruit user sneak in or what ever: point is, Strawhats made it and this very convenient. It's not that i say, Wano isn't good at keeping foreigners out, just saying that last two chapters told us, it's quiet easy to sneak in (again compared with WGs powers). For me it is a typical Oda-wrote-himself-into-a-corner. He wanted both: Edo-feeling and SH-infiltration. A possible explanation could be, that WG actually doesn't gives a f... to unaffiliated countries. I am eager to learn, why exactly Wano is such a unique spot on the Grand Line. It has connections to the void century and Oden/Roger, so it's not like it is just Kaido, who doesn't want to have marines sneaking around. It is part of a way bigger picture. Yet: in One Piece universe there have been lots of islands/places harder to find/get on: Rivers Mountain, Skypia, Enies Lobby, Impel Down, Fish-Man Island, Punk Hazard, Green Bit, Zou, Whole Cake... And now it seems as if it's enough to have a Vivre Card and to disguise as a commoner. Most simple way to get out of this would be, that Kaido has been monitoring all of them from the very beginning.
Also (OK, has nothing to do with One Piece), how did Soviet Union stole inventions and design? Sure, they had many informants, but how exactly did they stole anything of importqnce? They were not China! They even on purpose did not use design and technological information, to let the western world know, they are capable of even greater technology (which apparently they weren't). But i really would like you to show me, which great invention has been copied by the Soviets... Even if think a while on it: cosmology, informatics, military i cannot find anything great in particular, they copied.
Eh? Do we know that? … Speaking of which makes me wonder if there are traitors in Wano (maybe a CP0 samurai ... wow!)
To me Sakazuki seemed really not to know a shit about Samurai.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Anyway, Luffy should be doing fine. I still haven't fully digested his new bounty. There is probably like, only 3 worthy opponents for him on this island.
Nah… wouldn't go by bounty here: it was established from the very beginning, that one of Luffys weaknesses are cuts. So with great swordsman out there everything is possible. Also who would those three be? Kaido, Big Mom, Queen, King, Shogun an some Super Novae are yet confirmed.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Yeah, but Sakazuki stated, that there are none informations about Wano (which is pretty stupid from marines point of view)

It would be Kaido + Shogun + possible right hand, King or a samurai. I forgot about Bigmom, but I don't think she'll play that much of a part. I don't think she'll be there for the whole arc
Anyway. I'm not going by bounty only. Luffy defeated Cracker and Katakuri and has now a very very powerful observation haki. There is basically only a few people in the world that can harm him now
And swordman aren't a problem as long as his haki is stronger than theirs. The next step for Luffy is to develop his haki and awaken his DF. I wonder if both can really happen within one arc thoughAlso, the great thing is that the samurais and the shogun probably have bounties too
-

And swordman aren't a problem as long as his haki is stronger than theirs.Luffy is susceptible to cut/slash injuries but that would mean that the user should know how to imbue his sword/weapon with haki … and a great deal of that. But if you look at kinemon and his fire technique, then you can imagine that the samurai surely have some tricks up their sleeves. Kinemon's fire attack would hurt Luffy i think.
Now comes the CoO that Luffy has aquired in the last arc. It is very powerful but he has yet to master it. He probably can't keep it up all the time like my boy Katakuri and he needs to keep his composture for it to work (and we all know how Luffy is like). I hope Luffy isn't at that stage yet where he is almost untouchable and also the marines backed off of Wano, so they really are a force to be reckoned with. My only wish is that Oda gives the others some spotlight and character development as he did with Luffy in WCi and Usopp in Dressrosa.

I'm pretty sure he got introduced fodderising Lieutenant Fullbody.
The cake island argument is stupid. His friends would be dead if he would not go. You try to say that zoro would not care if his old friends would be in trouble like that?
Sanji was badass and still is, reason why it's called the monster trio. Even now he has moments, just not proper battles.
Zoro is about badass swordmen, not in general. And you also make it sound like badass is also based on gender.

-

A counter to swords is swords.Haki works to an extent.
-
I am certain it won't happen because of pacing issues, but I'd love it if the following chapters each focused on one Straw Hat trying to figure out how to join the others, thinking they're the only ones that were lost. It could be a great opportunity to make characters like Chopper or Brook shine for a bit.
-
@uniaka:

yeah and zoro was introduced starving, guess what? you missed the point.
@uniaka:
The cake island argument is stupid. His friends would be dead if he would not go. You try to say that zoro would not care if his old friends would be in trouble like that?
Also, you got this all wrong.
I was even one of the few that, from the beginning, always tought that Sanji had to go to WCI, and actually I never got disappointed from WCI (well, just a little bit from the chase and the ending but that's another point and it would be ok if BM will still go down before Kaido).@uniaka:
Sanji was badass and still is, reason why it's called the monster trio. Even now he has moments, just not proper battles.
Sanji was badass and still is, matter of fact Sanji was the only one I wasn't questioning, I was just questioning his fans' expectations on him.
@uniaka:
Zoro is about badass swordmen, not in general. And you also make it sound like badass is also based on gender.
Well considering Japan is not the most advanced country in terms of gender equality rights, and also the fact that we are talking about a shonen manga, where battles, brute force and whatsoever are the core, it's not that I make it sound like badassery is based on gender, I would call it a statistic, also very far from my personal beliefs tbh.

The entire gag of putting him on an island with the problematic, cannibal genderfluid tribe of clowns was for him to experience what being a woman was like. He spent two years with them as a woman; how would that NOT change him?
Aside from that one cover story page, what happened is actually the opposite of what you're describing: Sanji was actively trying not to experience womanhood for those whole two years. In fact, that was literally his training as explained by Ivankov.

-
But remember Marine is different than WG
No it isn't.
The Marines are literally just the army of the WG. They're part of the WG.
-
Unsure if it's been mentioned so far, but I'm a little disappointed at how quickly Luffy's back in action with the jumping and the carp stuff and all. No visible scar from Katakuri's supposedly fatal spear thrust, and not even bandages left. It may have been a few days since they departed from Totto Land, but we're not really told that, and it just feels too convenient.
I think the carp scene doubly bugged me for that reason – we get no indication that Luffy is struggling with his hands in the carps' mouths (and thus underwater), or a sense of how Luffy is towing the whole ship as well (are his legs wrapped around the prow of the ship??)
Seems like a chapter with an agenda to get them to Wano ASAP, which I respect, and the stylized art is really beautiful! But it just seems weirdly paced and lacking in some detail we'd usually see in these chapters. At any rate, we'll get _either_ more Wano or more Reverie next chapter, and that's perf in my book.
-
Honestly, I'm glad that Oda isn't spending 3arcs on Luffy's injuries against Katakuri. I'm glad that he isn't trying to be "realistic" just like he did with Zoro from Thriller Bark to Sabaody to Kuraigana Island.
-
I'm just glad he hasn't lost his tooth.

In 2004 a Pakistani engineer, who was responsible for the Pakistani nuclear program confessed to work with North Korea…
That an autocratic, militaristic dictatorship that's been in a state of war with its neighbor and their superpower ally would take steps to aquire nuclear weapons is a given, not intelligence. What took the international community by surprise was not the attempt, but the completion. If they had known, at least the U.S. and its pacific allies would have done more to stop it, like when a reactor was bombed in Iraq or when centrifuges were sabotaged in Iran.
Next i would not compare our world with One Piece universe when it comes to infiltration… i mean, they could just have a fruit user sneak in or what ever: point is, Strawhats made it and this very convenient.
Oh, I'm happy to compare them. Fruit abilities can be just as well employed for counter intelligence. Viola's ability for instance.
It's not that i say, Wano isn't good at keeping foreigners out, just saying that last two chapters told us, it's quiet easy to sneak in (again compared with WGs powers).
Well, I'm saying that they wouldn't have to be very good at keeping foreigners out. Putting up a sign that reads "Trespassers will be shot!" can be a much more effective way of keeping people off your lawn than drawing a fence around it.
For me it is a typical Oda-wrote-himself-into-a-corner. He wanted both: Edo-feeling and SH-infiltration.
Or maybe it's what Oda had in mind all along, and you're now trying to blame him for your unreasonable expactations.
A possible explanation could be, that WG actually doesn't gives a f… to unaffiliated countries.
Yes, and a lot of it. They can't even protect their members from pirate attacks half the time. That is, when they even bother trying. Fishman Island was left to its fate. Drum was pillaged by Blackbeard and they made him a Warlord…
it seems as if it's enough to have a Vivre Card and to disguise as a commoner.
You sure make that sound easy. Take a globe, pick a country at random, travel there without first learning anything about that country (other than maybe the language) and then try to pass for a local.
Also (OK, has nothing to do with One Piece), how did Soviet Union stole inventions and design? Sure, they had many informants, but how exactly did they stole anything of importqnce? They were not China! They even on purpose did not use design and technological information, to let the western world know, they are capable of even greater technology (which apparently they weren't). But i really would like you to show me, which great invention has been copied by the Soviets… Even if think a while on it: cosmology, informatics, military i cannot find anything great in particular, they copied.
Well, first of all, much of what scientists and engineers do in the West is made freely available to see, if not to use. That's how patents work. Only certain things are of special interest to discover/keep secret. Like how to make bigger bombs. (The Soviets basically kickstarted the Cold War by stealing the Manhatten Project.) Or how to make planes that fly higher and faster. First hit on my websearch gave me this interesting list: https://io9.gizmodo.com/incredible-soviet-rip-offs-of-western-technologies-973280252 The Soviets stealing Western stuff was even something of a Cold War meme. Star Trek for example frequently made fun of it, with Pavel Chekov often claiming things as Russian inventions. Or the idea that Shakespear's Hamlet was best in its "original Klingon".

Not towing there…
!
As for his hands underwater, water affects Df users if they get more than half their bodies inside the water (as explained in SBS 41)… A bit cheap explanation imo but it's what it is.

Will Sanji get an early all out fight like Luffy got against Cracker during Whole Cake Island ?

I think Sanji will land in a Geisha house where he will spend the rest of the arc like a drooling idiot. That's the last he will be heard of until Wano wraps up, save the occasional panel of creepy nosebleed over some random female to remind us of his existence.
Fortunately it won't matter because Zoro will be there to solo the 3 calamities with a butter knife. -

I think he will get a strong enemy early on. Also we should see Vinsmokes returning and Sanji arc wrapping up when Big Mom returns. So I think it will be just after Wano arc or at its closure.
I hope that Pekoms(I want him to have his eyes.. but he will look even better with one Eye patch!) is safe and sound and that he will join Luffy. Still I have hope for that. -
We all do deep inside of us.
