Kaido definitely underestimates him ^^
Well, Doffy claimed to not underestimate the Strawhats, but then he just did. I hope Kaido, despite claiming not to have to be especially cautious, actually doesn't underestimate them and has a decent routine in order to deal with these little pirate games.
Forum user Bartholemew Bear passed away in a very moving and touching way. I, ARTEMlS, therefore carry on the Will of DArth for good unto its final fulfilment.
Nami's been pulling that old trick since East Blue and seeing my friends and family do it in real life so much it's just like yeah I guess I would to if I could.
That newspaper Aokiji is reading looks to hold some secrets. For Oda who usually adds in some detail within the small newspaper pictures its kind of strange how plain that photo is. Looks like a gray alien doesn't it? No way it is though. Almost look like a volcano with a puff of smoke in one of the other photos.
Aokiji probably has to be careful who he is seen with but I wonder if that winter island has any relation to Shanks and one his favorite islands?
If the translation if correct then Oda went out of his way to let us know that what was used to wither the trees was not Haki at all. I don't know. For the first time ever I don't buy it. Looks like its CoC applied one way or another. Certainly doesn't seem to be related to Cracker's fruit.
Ha, Randolph and that crane. Randolph is a jerk, lol.
Luffy getting excited for King Baum is great. Those little touches just make Luffy so lovable. Remember when people were upset Luffy didn't come back from the time skip as all hard boiled and serious business?
Big Mom wanting that military force as well as the science and technology of the Germa's is expected. I wonder if there is more to what she wants specifically with their scientific achievements?
Last chapter I assumed Pound was Cracker's father because of the physical similarities and now it could be true. At least Cracker himself doesn't disregard the possibility.
Hope to see some good hits from this fight but at this point I think it's too early to be conclusive.
I do wonder what happened to Big Mom's other husbands.
@Sang:

Kaido has the most reason in world to underestimate Luffy.
Oda said in interview that he is thinking through how Luffy can beat somebody as strong as Kaido.
@Sang:

That's true I was actually going to mention that the only person who would underestimate Luffy would be Kaido, since he's near immortal.
it's not impossible to carry something..my problem is that her having it now implies that she put that thing in her bra every day for two whole years..i would have understood if they had to get it back on the ship..or like if she had franky make a little compartment in her logpose to hold it.,..something that she HAS to bring with her at all times,like luffy's hat with ace's vivrecard…but between her boobs?either she never changes her bra or i find difficult to believe that she brought that with her for two straight years
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
maybe the sons have some kind of power over the homies because they are flesh and blood with big mom,and this includes them getting their soul sucked away again or flying away when someone who has a piece of big mom's soul in them (like her sons and daughters?) shows anger towards them...
i would have said devil fruit if he didn't had the whole duplication thing too going on
Maybe it's related to his devil fruit, his devil fruit seems like it has the properties of the hydra in terms of multiplying limbs, maybe there is a japanese equivalent of this beast that also allows it to dry out things.
Although him being a sweet commander and able to control the souls would make sense although isnt that already mama's power, Im thinking maybe mama could have ordered the souls to follow their willl as second to hers possibly?
Cracker is going to be defeated by Sanji. If this guy can create new legs imagine the fight Sanji versus 1000 legs xD
Luffy seeing Cracker attack pound like that sure made him angry. Can Lola's vivre card really create a Luffy /Big Mom truce?
Is luffy saying that he always fights serious or does he imply that there is no other choice but to go all out against cracker? Implying that he thinks that cracker is no push over at all.
@Bartholemew:

The only one who might do this is Akainu because how shrewd he is. It's obvious Kaido sees Luffy as nothing more than another weakling(and he isn't even wrong). No way he disrespects himself by acknowledging someone like Luffy.
I think Homies can detect the soul of Big Mom's vivre card because they're made from her soul soul fruit so there is a connection.
As for Cracker, I am guessing when he multiplied his arms, whatever that arm is holding get multiplied too so thats where all the swords came from.
Nami's breasts: wonder what else she is hiding in there? Franky should've hid the blueprints to pluton in there.
Is Randolph a homie? pretty funny n got some of his own personality.
Kind of confusing that Brule was told by BM to stall the SHs while Cracker is made sure to kill them?
Big Mom just throws away her husbands after few kids. Sperm Bank.
I think Luffy recognizes how strong Cracker is and is going all out. & that he only knows how to go all out whenever he fights. He doesn't fight without a reason and when he does, he fights to win/destroy the opponent.
Is luffy saying that he always fights serious or does he imply that there is no other choice but to go all out against cracker? Implying that he thinks that cracker is no push over at all.
I think a little of both. But we know he does fight pretty seriously every time he does fight but doesn't mean he necessarily has to go all out. He might try vs Cracker.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

And he really didn't. Doffy technically won against Luffy, and Law and was it not for for extreme unknown factors then Doffy would have easily won and taken over Dressrosa.
So, does this mean all vivre cards come from Totland? We were bound to find out who makes them and how, eventually. And now it appears they actually contain traces of a person's soul on them. Maybe this one is special because it is Big Mom's but otherwise it doesn't take a genius to connect the dots.
If I had to guess, I'd say those BM shades make vivre cards on several spots (shops?) on the outskirts of Totland, or something like that.
Sorry if this was already discussed, I just tuned in.
As far as Cracker is concerned, I don't think he's that much of a threat. And I doubt the fight will be especially long. The setting is way too chaotic at the moment.
Being serious doesn't mean he has to frown during the fight like American Kirby box art. You can be serious and still have fun in a fight.
And he really didn't. Doffy technically won against Luffy, and Law and was it not for for extreme unknown factors then Doffy would have easily won and taken over Dressrosa.
He thought someone who got beaten by a stick could keep Luffy in the colosseum. I am exaggerating of course but DD was still both underestimating Luffy and overestimating himself.

Heck, in the same panel, Zoro is commenting on Luffy not taking this seriously, so…
Just let the fact sink in that most of the danger caused on PH by CC stems from Luffy not taking it seriously and literally try to catch CC because Law told him to kidnap him instead of just easily beating him like he could have and then imprison him.
The tournament seemed like it was there to have Luffy exhaust himself against the tournament people as well as Bellamy before finally fighting Doffy. Same way how Doffy exhausted Luffy in gear four and why Luffy needed to have a 10 min to recharge his energy so to speak.
Hell he didn't even look surprise by Luffy advancing to the last round, and clearly didn't lose his shit when Luffy came out of the tournament.

Whoa i didn't really think about this.
I'm thinking this fight will be something like Luffy versus Don Chinjao, in the sense its mid arc fight, except Luffy will go Gear Fourth.

After BM is defeated, she will be seen in cover stories starting up her own Vivre card shop and making a living.

Nah it's too soon for Luffy to use his last trump card. Maybe Luffy will be pushed to his limits or something but definitely don't see gear four this early.
@Buggy:

"Will make Vivre Cards for candy!"
Good chapter, but some stuff was a bit wonky though. Like the random bit of exposition Cracker threw right there (though Oda has had trouble with the random and sporadic bouts of exposition for a long time). Or Chopper telling Luffy to "hold on a sec" for no apparent reason, which carried no consequence?
It's also funny when you stop to think just how long Pound was there held by his hair by Cracker as the situation unfolded.
Also, the action has been kinda start-and-stop for a long while now, with some bits here and there but the in-between is usually more filled with dialogue than it is with proper coreography. When Luffy prompted into action I was like "cool!", but then we got to the Nami bit and cut right back at Luffy already getting hit off-panel.
Let's see next week if we have a fight in our hands or if it'll be a couple of cool panels spread across other stuff, like Luffy vs. Chinjao.
But yeah, overall it was good.
I'm not surprised at all by the storing capacities of Nami's breast. The real surprise is it's ability to conceal the power of a Yonko's soul.
How many Cavendish does that make ? I guess it's an even number.
Great chapter today, not a ton of info or fighting but a generally fun amount of craziness.
The implications of Big mom's vivre card implies whoever is gifted it becomes a part of their family or something especially with lola calling them sisters. I still wonder how grey big mom is as an antagonist though.
I think luffy will have a generally tough time vs cracker but Im really interested that the wedding is already occuring tomorrow, with the breaks I think id lost of when they stated it was but it's already evening or at least late day. Pretty much banking on the wedding starting earlier but taking a long time cause big mom is extravagant and all that.
Also my review in reading real time.
Really? Next time you fight someone seriously, try to have some fun and grin all the time
No one said anything about grinning all the time, even in that picture you posted Luffy has a serious look on his face before he celebrates his UFO technique working. You ever been in a real fight? Doesn't matter if you are in the ring or on the street, learning how to relax and basically enjoy it can keep you alive or in the dominant position. I knew teachers who'd actually tell us to have fun during a fight. The more tense you are, the more energy you burn up, the harder it is to think and react to anything.
Now granted sport and real fighting are very different things. Someone just trying to punish you is very different from someone trying to kill you, someone in their right mind will approach you differently than someone who his mentally ill or on drugs. Still showing an opponent that you aren't phased by their presence or even a hit they've given you with a smile or laugh can go a long way to throwing opponents off of their game mentally. It could be a bluff or it could be genuine feelings of joy.
Then there are those people out there that can run circles around their opponents and are afforded the luxury of truly enjoying themselves during a fight, be it in sport or on the street. It doesn't mean you wouldn't take the fight seriously. Enjoying yourself in a fight is not the same as being careless. It usually means you are just extremely comfortable with your own ability and self. Basically like Luffy and Zoro are often portrayed as.
I've earned my 3rd degree black belt in Chinese martial arts, I've never had to fight on the street. In my early colored belt days I almost did a few times and I learned that lesson of playing it cool and enjoying yourself very early. I grew up in the hood, south central Los Angeles, walking home from work talking loudly on my self phone when 2 guys put a gun right up to my back. My exact words said to my girl friend(with all smiles) was "Oh my god, you won't believe this, I'm being robbed! Weren't we just talking about this?! I'll call you back!" They asked what was in the bag, I told them a video game(my DK bongos!) and just shrugged and said that was all I really had. I didn't fight but I wasn't going to risk playing the victim. Thank god they didn't check my back pack, had my gamecube about 5 games, 2 memory cards, and 4 controllers. After I got home then I crumpled down and cried but only a little bit. The moment was kind of surreal and to them I probably wasn't taking the situation seriously but me acting that way couldn't have been more serious.

Or Chopper telling Luffy to "hold on a sec" for no apparent reason, which carried no consequence?
It seemed to me like there was some off paneled dialogue there. Chopper figured something out maybe. Luffy was absent from panels until he blocked the sword.
Nah it's too soon for Luffy to use his last trump card. Maybe Luffy will be pushed to his limits or something but definitely don't see gear four this early.
Gear 4th might as well be the New World's Gear 2nd.

How many Cavendish does that make ? I guess it's an even number.
Nami herself barely has 1/4th a Cavendish but her breasts are a 2… though there is a rumor that they are worth 4 Cavendishes.
Good chapter.
I really wonder what Chopper said to Luffy. He must have a plan to get out.
About Cracker's abiity, what is the most interesting to me is that he can duplicate his swords. Unless he's somehow hiding them somewhere like Nami 
Anyway, I wonder what will delay the crew for a full day since the last 2 brothers have yet to arrive so the confrontation won't happen anytime soon.
For the resolution of the conflict with Big Mom, I think the Vivre Card won't help since Lola isn't here to tell her Mom that they got it by saving her life.
I'm thinking Sanji will have to save Pudding in front of her eyes to make that happen.
So, I maintain my prediction that the Vinsmoke are the main opponents of this arc. And I still got that feeling that Sanji will "lose" his hands. Idk why but it just feel like a powerful scene that Oda would draw.

Lola wrote an introduction letter in the Vivre Card.
Finally, the vivre card comes in play. The Homies clearly recognized its worth, but Brulee and Cracker haven't. Wonder what they'll do if they realize… Ultimately, there has to be more payout than 'oh that's big mom's vivre card' so I'm looking forward to that.
So the Homies' souls are released when they're scared. I wonder if a character like Brook is going to play a role in that with his whole "spooky skeleton" theme and ironically being afraid of the paranormal. I'm also interested in seeing if Big Mom's "Soul-Ju" gets expanded upon just being a sign of Big Mom's intimidating aura or whatever it is.
Cracker's presumed Devil Fruit ability also remind me of Onigumo's hair limbs, as well as Robin a bit. Having a cracker shield is beautiful though.

He still gotta awake his DF so no, not too soon to use his gear 4. And there is no way he could stand against this big fella without gear 4.

Apparently Sabo insta-made one for Luffy back in Dressrosa so, sadly, no.
Although what I would really find interesting is if Sabo went to find some piece of Luffy's body (I really don't know what piece he may have found) and then was able to track Luffy because he went to Totland and made one, instead of making it after a "random" meeting.
Sanji can go n lose his hands & even Jimbei can go n lose his hands…since they'll be meeting up with Law in Wano, he can take care of that.

Actually, by knocking on his shoulders, he can grow more arms. Though it's a mystery how he's able to do it. Maybe he has a multiplying DF power that allows him to make more of his limbs.

It's probably similar to Robin's DF but he can only grow limbs on himself. ( well, it's too soon to jump into conclusions though )
Hmm…
Uhuh…and then a big part of doffy's plan rested on his opinion that Luffy wouldn't make it out of the corrida colesseum alive.
He might have started off wary, but he ultimately underestimated Luffy just like so many others.

Gear Fourth is a high risk, high reward technique that gives him the edge over his opponents. How is that not a trump card?
Jajaja at the cracker comment.
Gear Fourth is a high risk, high reward technique that gives him the edge over his opponents. How is that not a trump card?
I guess I'm confusing the term last resort and trump card. King Kong Gun and Gear fourth were techniques developed while Rayleigh was still training Luffy. I think he could have something deadlier than Gear fourth already.
