Chapter 991: Let Us Die!!!
-
-
Kaido continues to be the biggest disappointment there is. Chapter was great until the last spread where Kinemon somehow now can cut Kaido with every strike he makes.
If it is so easy to hurt him… how the heck did he survive those executions ? How did he become the strongest in the world ?

Oda why you no name Apoo's fruittt
I was pretty interested in how the Sulong battle would play out. It's been hinted at for nearly 200 chapters, so obviously it would have been a waste to not be successful. But then again, I do kinda feel bad for Jack, he hasn't had the best showing in battles though it's moreso due to picking fights with really powerful forces rather than not living up to his own strength. Given that the fight was pretty much off-screened, and that Jack is looking to take off and recover, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in action in Part 4, and if Inu and Neko are still in fighting condition we may hopefully get a cathartic final defeat of the Drought. Cause if the Minks' revenge has already been truly achieved, offscreen, that would be pretty disappointing.
I wonder if Oda gave Kin'emon the ability to cut through fire all the way back in Punk Hazard with the full intention of drawing the final scene in this chapter. Certain scenes in that arc indicate that he was planning on giving Kaido the Dragon DF.
It's interesting how much different Hatcha is from the other Numbers, namely him actually wearing clothes and not having the character for oni in his name. Seems like a bit too much not to be intentional, but who knows why that is.

GORAM, this was a great chapter. Amazing action, great crew interaction from Zoro, Jinbei, and Franky trying to stop Luffy+Drake to Usopp speaking as if he were Nami. Nekomamushi and Inuarushi having beat Jack and looking like fucking BAMF's getting the rub from Kaido was great too. And then that ending, Kinemon cutting the fire. Just awesome. I'm wondering whether this will finally get us to Hybrid Kaido, or whether he'll keep blasting? I for sure can't wait until the next chapter!!

Kin'emon is really pulling a Crocodile right now.

I liked the last chapter more, this one felt kind of short.
Monster Cat and Dog vs Jack is what I wished to see the most, so I am a bit sad it was off-paneled, at least a slash animation, something, anything, come on…that asshole Apapapapapadude getting so much screen time honestly pisses me off.
Getting 3 pages of the "manly trio" bickering with Drake/Luffy felt awkward.I really love the Strawhats, but the Nami and Usopp vs Ulti and Pay Pay pairing seems like a big stretch to me, seeing as Luffy supposedly needed G4 to overpower Headbutt and a few days back Sanji couldn´t finish off Page One despite stating he would.
EDIT:
After second and third read, this wasn´t that bad.
Queen´s simply the best.
Sea stone gatling gun from the balcony.
The coolest baddest Beast Pirate, hands down.Also Usopp impersonating Nami while hiding behind her was hilarious.

This translation changes something regarding Drake and Zoro situation.
Initially it was "hiding something from us" and now it is "where you stand".
On the surface, it doesn't matter much but there is a distinctive difference in the sense that "hiding something" felt like it could be new information outside of what we already know (he's marine).
but now with where you stand, it basically means this is already something we as readers already know.Have a good day

Fighting Usopp and Nami must be an incredibly frustrating experience. I pity Paypay already.

'Sopp and Nam will make those two hit each other. I just know it.
And it will be so glorious

This chapter reveals what is truly the most frightening force in all of the world of One Piece: being offscreen in Wano.
-
Really great chapter, Ulti and Pay Pay vs. Nami and Usopp makes too much sense.
-
I hoped to see the fight between Jack and the duo, but Oda dutifully off-paneled it. While it is clear that Jack is not down, scabarrds are going down now for sure.So, I guess that's the amount of revenge minks can get and SHs will do the rest.

No battle feat. Usopp and Nami is going to be decided by physical strength. Given that Page One and Ulti are the upstart kids of the Tobiroppo, it seems fitting for them to take on Usopp and Nami while the stronger Straw Hats take on bigger fish.

After Doublefinger und Kalifa were also extremely physically superior. One can judge how satisfying those fights were, nevertheless they did happen.
And it´s obvious theme of this arc is "Pirate King´s crew", among others of course. -
Doesn't make too much sense that Kinemon never thought before to use his Fox Fire on Kaido. Especially not after Punk Hazard and since it was expected by many readers. Sure, he's not the brightest but come on… "Finally I can show true power of Foxfire Style" would've been badass.
-
I doubt these are even the match-ups that will happen. I'd rather wait it out till the end of Act 3/beginning of Act 4 post-intermission to get the proper match-ups.

And it´s obvious theme of this arc is "Pirate King´s crew", among others of course.The problem with both Doublefinger and Kalifa is that they lost because they didn't take Nami seriously and kept toying with her until Nami was able to turn the table. It would be nice to have a Nami opponent that takes her seriously from the get go. But I just don't see Nami surviving an Ulti headbutt after it was able to overpower Luffy, so I'm afraid an Ulti vs. Nami fight, if it ends up true, may again make the stronger fighter toy with her prey, which would be disappointing.
I don't think there are the final match-ups, thought. I feel Nami and Usopp will trick Ulti and Page One and get lost, leading to their real match-ups (my own bets are that it will be Galette and Mont-D'or, the first one even have seen Nami's power and wouldn't be reckless around her, the second one seems perfect for an Usopp, considering he uses illusions and guns)

I agree with this.

Fair point. Right now I feel like Part 3 will end with a Beasts Pirates/Big Mom victory, and Part 4 will have war in the Flower Capital, with Luffy flying on Momonosuke to the top of Mt. Fuji to confront Kaido.

Um, when exactly would Kinemon get a chance to use Foxfire Style on Kaido before this chapter? This is the first time he's used his Blast Breath when Kinemon was nearby.

@Kaido:
No battle feat. Usopp and Nami is going to be decided by physical strength. Given that Page One and Ulti are the upstart kids of the Tobiroppo, it seems fitting for them to take on Usopp and Nami while the stronger Straw Hats take on bigger fish.
I´m aware of their tricky fighting styles and quite honestly OK with that foursome , it´s bound to be entertaining.
I just didn´t expect it. A haki-using New World Dino fruit user like Ulti, in line to become a top 3 Emperor commander, seems stronger than Pigeon Guy for example, so it feels like a sudden and large jump in oponent strength for these two in particular. I´d have predicted Nami fighting the Ninja Squad or something, not the Tobi Roppo.
Franky and Robin (her vs Black Maria is a match made in heaven), definitely, maybe Chopper and Brook, not Nami and Usopp. I guess my SH power level evaluation was a bit off hehe.But it´s definitely not a deal-breaker for me. I just hope we get more panels of them fighting instead of Apoo…
Regarding "PK crew", that´s nice and all, but even Luffy had NW stepping stones in Dofla, Cracker, Katakuri (Observation upgrade), L to Kaido, some more training (CoA upgrade), before he can even be considered playing in the same ballpark as an Emperor (captain), surviving more than 3 seconds compared to last time. Even then, there is a high probability of a team effort (+Zoro, Law, Kid).
-

The war against Kaido few days before he was sent to the future? The Beast Pirates already used this tactic successfully against Oden's group.
Slightly related, Kaido transforming into a Dragon makes more sense now. Sure hybrid would have been an option, but against an entire army it does seem smarter to go for endless AOE-attacks. He even expected that they will evade some Blast Breaths, but sooner or later they will be hit.
-
It would be a waste of a golden match up if he changes this one.
I can't even remember when we had such good matching before.

I agree with this.
Which has been a constant in almost any Strawhat fight, no? I fear it´s always gonna be like that. Just look at this chapter, the disrespect even Luffy is getting from third rate subordinates of Kaidou, and compare that to everyone shitting their pants in front of Big Mom (except Franky), foe and ally alike.
Prior to Kalifa and Doublefinger fights, i also would not have suggested Nami taking several spike hits from DF or getting Shigan´ed by Kalifa, she got out pretty easily from that. And Usopp, his fights were always bloody, look at Choo, or Mr4. -
Ooooooof what a cool chapter with so many cool little things:
Kaido being a great boss. <3
Kin just straight up cutting him.
That dog sulong.
Apoo is such a little shit, he's great.
Luffy being Luffy, annoying his friends.
Nami and Usopp being a couple of screwballs.
That gattling gun was sick.This is one of those chapters I'd show a friend if he's asking me to give an example what kind of story OP is, you know.
-
great chapter. officials were very close to scan this time around
-
Sulong Cat and Dog beating Jack feels weird to me since we have yet to see Jack's hybrid form which should be his best combat form. In fact, we have yet to see Kaido's or any Calamities hybrid form which spells trouble for our protagonists.
-
Loved this chapter:wub: Usopp, Nami and the dino siblings page was pure gold lol

They were fighting an entire army though, with Oden focusing on Kaido. Not exactly the same thing as the Scabbards vs. Kaido by himself.

''That guy with the Straw-hat.''
Read the goddam newspaper Pay-Pay.
For some reason that line made me think that Ulti and Pay-Pay will end up with the grand fleet.
Once Pay-Pay learns about Luffy's greatness he'll become a fan and there is no Pay-Pay without Ulti.Hell, they even could become Nakama material. :ninja:

And Usopp, his fights were always bloody, look at Choo, or Mr4.Usopp I can see taking a beating and still fighting. We've seen him taking hits several times. He's grown a lot since then.
But I don't see Nami tanking a headbutt like Luffy did. I'd like to see a Nami fight in which her life is actually on the line and the opponent does not get reckless around her. If Kalifa had taken her seriously, Nami would have been defeated by fast, because Kalifa was stronger, more resilient and faster, but instead Kalifa kept toying until Nami got the chance to spring her trap. I'd hate to see Ulti wasted like that, I actually want Ulti to be impressive.
People are treating the Tobi Roppo as minor oponents, but they are the third force in rank in a Yonko's crew. These guys should be impressive and not pull up any punches in their fights.

while I’m assuming you’re joking, that’s a large part of Wano’s biggest cultural identity right? That news between the outside world and Wano and visa-versa doesn’t really occur due to isolation? Could see Pay-Pay if just being in Wano for a long time just be ignorant of the outside world’s goings on.

I support this completely, I love this pair.
-
Ulti is strong but one whole mess of a person. Impulsive, easily distracted, doesn't work well with others, when faced with a problem she just tries to brute force it even harder. And Pay pay isn't much smarter, fairly one note and he'll be hampered by his silly sister all the way. Like i said earlier i'm expecting the coward group to play them out against each other extensively and trap them at every turn. Sure they'll get some blows in, make a big show of it but then they'll eat the perfect set up and it'll all be over.

With her well etablished personality Ulti isn't going to underestimate anyone, she's already angry at them. but being so impulsive and simple minded could actually be her downfall against tricky fighters like Nami and Usopp, she believed Nami was the one that attacked P1 lol.
I don't think Nami got any chance in 1 vs 1 but…. in 2 vs 2 the situation is way different, as @wolfwood said I can perfectly picture the Usopp and Nami tricking the siblings into hitting each other. -
Pretty disappointed that Jack vs Inu and Neko got off paneled. I know a lot of people don't think it's important, but it was something I really wanted to see. Had quite a bit of build up.
That Usopp bit was hilarious. Interested to see how him and Nami against Ulti and Pay Pay turns out.
-
Doesn't make too much sense that Kinemon never thought before to use his Fox Fire on Kaido. Especially not after Punk Hazard and since it was expected by many readers. Sure, he's not the brightest but come on… "Finally I can show true power of Foxfire Style" would've been badass.
I thought the "It never even ocurred to me" line was actually answering Kaido's "I'm eager to see how many of these you can evade" from the previous page.
-
Yeah it refers to running and evading
-
Yeah… you're right. Thanks for pointing it out.
-
Dad and girls finally reunited. That's nice.
I can understand questioning Drake flip flopping. It screwed Kidd not to long ago to trust the wrong person. But it seems they are about to fight Queen and Drake. I was wondering about Sanji fighting Apoo since fighting with legs makes fighting with hands on your ears easier. Jimbei has no leg to stand on with the honor thing since he basically did the same to big mom just last arc.
That bit with Usopp hiding behind Nami to taunt Ulti was funny.
It's interesting to see Kaido caring for his subordinate. He didnt seem the type. I mean he just watched as they were getting their ass handed to them.Jack need to learn how to Zoan properly. He keeps getting defeated in his animal form instead of using hybrid. Also the sulong form are meh. I especially dont like Neko's.
The scabbards continue to be doing good and I'm still rooting for them. I hope Kaido knows how to Zoan properly and turn hybrid.
-
I see almost no problem concerning power levels: Jack was always going to be pawned by Inu and Neko, and Usop+Nami vs. PayPay+Ulti is going to be hilarious.
However, I can't understand at all how Kin'emon, a mid-level swordsman, has suddenly become able to wound Kaido, a being who took no injury from G4 Luffy and has been describe as being close to invulnerable.
:wassat: -
Sorry if this has been asked but is there a break next week? I thought there wasn't but Viz says the next chapter is in two weeks?

:wassat:Oda wants to wank the samurai and he doesn’t know what he is doing. He just makes Kaido look even worse than he did
Where is Doflamingo really. He was levels above Kaido as a threat. Seriously
Pretty sure the only reason now Oda avoids having Luffy and Zoro confront Kaido is because they would easily beat him. He is a lame scrub.

:wassat:This 9 year old girl here had observation Haki on par with an Admiral.
!
So the answer is: Haki does Haki things.
If the willpower is strong enough even encounters like these are possible, and currently Kinemon and gang are willing to die for Oden's legacy. Willpower overdrive. Kaido even noted how their haki reminds him of Odens.
(I'm not defending Haki as a concept btw, but this doesn't come out of nowhere).
-
The samurai and minks are just crazy competent! Love how dependable they are.
The stakes are still heavily stacked against them, Big Mom presence is just destroying any hope of winning so far. If it was Kaidou alone, I could see them winning.
I wonder how Oda will deal with her.
