Great chapter with some lovely action hit and run in it. Also nice to see the Germa in action. Seems like Pudding and somehow the treasure will most likely play a (big) factor in how they are gonna escape .
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Chapter 869: Under Siege

How can you guys say that this chapter was "Nothing much"?
First of all, Oda managed to tell a story in which all characters are deaf, and did an amazing job. Then Germa rescues the Strawhats!!! Moreover, Sanji has definitely something in mind in that last panel…
And Big Mom regained her senses, and is as intimidating as ever. I just loved this chapter. -
Man this Manga seems to have ground to a crawl recently. It feels like less and less happens every chapter. I miss the Enies lobby arc.

Of all arcs you could have chosen to represent packed chapters, you pick Enies Lobby. Where every chapter was a slugfest of mindless fighting. Right.
Vinsmoke super sentai transformation was cool as hell. I knew Oda wouldn't miss the chance to show that. Their entrance freeing Nami and co. was pretty nice as well. Fast hit-n-run action sequence with the Straw Hats getting trapped, with no way out. Honestly, this is probably the most desperate situation they've found themselves in since Sabaody. The only thing I can think of that can maybe give them a chance to escape is Luffy pulling a fast King Kong Gun, destroying the whole area, creating chaos and allowing bege to transform back into small human form and make a run for it.
And that damn Tamate Box keeps running away from the spotlight. I just can't figure out what purpose it will have. It's been teased for such a long time and yet, it keeps being pushed around with nobody managing to just open it. Urgh. Each passing chapter leaves me more confused as to how this arc is going to turn around. This is also a fine chapter to end volume 86 with. Big Mom finally coming back and wrecking shit.
-
You're damn right. This has been the same as that except instead of individual cool 1 v 1 fights we get a jumbled barley coherent free for all where nothing of note is accomplished for 20 chapters. Yay.
I don't give a damn about this arc so far so your feelings of praise for it are lost on me. I haven't been excited about anything that has happened since the end of Dessarosa where luffy got his official pirate subordinates.

Yeah, but the cool individual 1v1 fights took up just a share of Enies Lobby. Before and after that we got exactly the same deal we get here. SHs vs a bunch of people in a jumbled free for all. I liked Enies Lobby too, I won't say I didn't, but the point of this arc is not the same at all. It's fine if you don't like it, I wasn't trying to convince you of anything. My subsequent comments were for the thread in general. If you liked Dressrosa, I guess that you'll enjoy Wano more than the current storyline, as many predict it will be more along those lines.

Is this the chapter with the best MS translation? /s
-
Call me dumb, but is that meant to be someone we know trying to set fire to the Vinsmokes in that first spread of theirs, in the panels on the right, or is it an entirely new Big Mom Pirate?
You can see him in the past chapters too, surrounding the vinsmokes, other than that we didnt get a name or an introduction for him.
-
if anything oda's problem has always been trying to juggle too much characters at once…even only counting the big shots,the protagonists and their allies we have probably aroun 20 characters that have to find some space in a 16/18 page chapter.
i think the main problem here is timing..oda wanted to show the sentai transformation so much that he missed the chance to let them transform immediately off screen, thus making that timing discrepancy where germa and the big mom pirates just stand there without doing nothing while everything else happened..and while we are still talking about seconds, it's still enough time to pull the trigger
I completely agree to that. Always preferred One Piece when it's focusing on a small to medium cast instead of trying to handle crowds with a gazillion named characters.
Agreed as well for the Sentai transformation. That spread is awesome, but having 3 whole pages after the moment when the BM pirates are prepared to shoot really kills the timing.
-

You're absolutely right. This dude's had an incredible three panels of screentime before this chapter, no wonder I missed him.
-
Anyone else hoping marco and the whitebeard remnants show up?
Not sure what other support the strawhats can get in this bind.
-
The whole point of the chapter was to show how the Vinsmokes were super cool… everything else is pointless and/or a pretext for the Vinsmokes showing off. "omg the fodders got captured lol, let's throw some fire on the Vinsmokes to make 'em look veryyyy cool"
Last page of this chapter should have been the first one of this chapter (or last one of the prior chapter).
If Bege doesn't turn into Knov 2.0 (HxH) after that, I go ballistic somehow :ninja:What was even the point with the Tamatebako box? "yeah, that's a setup, it means that Pekomamushi will bring the box with him at the top of the castle for some reason, or that the fight will move "downstairs" " yes, but still a pointless setup.
and of course wtf, did Reiju really harm a Sweet Commander?

Pekomamushi somehow saving everyone. Or something with the Shitsmokes maybe
-

No, she didn't. Her kick allowed them to escape. Just that. Only impressive thing was Ichiji attacking Perospero head on and leaving the candy guy with bruises.
-
No speaking chapters have always a nice feelings.
So what will Luffy do when he sees Bege wounded and Mum asking him to get out ? Now that the 1 year plan has failed, it's time for the 2 minutes one. -
so the Juice girl is squeazing the poison out of her body I believe…
but I didn't realy get what made this dude trying to steal the fish Island treasure fly away?
-
The Germa spread was definitely the highlight here. I guess it's time for Pudding/Judge/Sanji to act, let's see what happens next.

@O:

I believe it was Mom's scream, all the scenery around went flying away.

.Really?!!…:wassat:
Anyway,though the apparent tension Oda has built up, the so careful and goofy Luffy somehow diminish the seriousness of the situation.All pointing to some peaceful resolution.:happy:

there is a reason as to why she's draining the poison out of her body

So, what exactly is Yonji's "Winch" power? Just super-strength and/or durability?

You can say she would have been greatly harmed if she didn't have that ability of hers, but she has, so the kick did nothing. Anyway, we are talking of a distracted Smoothie. If Reiju attacked her head on, the outcome would probably be different.
-
Dem tit- I mean the germa spread made the chapter. Shame for a break next week
-
Rest in pieces/ruins Bege, I'll miss you you slimy midget mafia boss.
-
Loved the sentai transformations.
The box will explode and topple, giving them the needed time to flee?
@Apprentice:Man this Manga seems to have ground to a crawl recently. It feels like less and less happens every chapter. I miss the Enies lobby arc.
Running after something 12 years back, get with the times grandpa.
-
This, but King Kong Gun-level entry. He´d most likely die, but it would be glorious.
A glorious death, worthy of the future king of pirates.
In all seriousness, we gotta have a real stare down between Luffy and BM before this arc is over.
-
@S.C.:

He turn things up real fast? Seems like it's something like a windy vortex power.
-

1)she used poison
2)this ain't dragonball where if you are weaker you can't even harm your opponent -
what would happen if Pika enters inside bege?
-
It's about time the Germa kicked into gear!
I think that Pudding is now the only wild card that can save the allied forces. They don't stand a chance against Big Mom otherwise :s
-
-
And suddenly, the Vinsmokes are cool again. Huh!
Very exciting chapter. This arc continues to be completely unpredictable and fun.
-
Glad to see the Big Mom pirates remaining an intimidating force, and overjoyed to see Big Mom back in action. So far her flashback is the most she's been sold as a formidably strong Emperor, so I'm glad to see that she gets to show off in the present now. Overall the chapter is enjoyable in the sense of the overwhelming odds against the Straw Hats persisting, though it kinda feels like the Straw Hats themselves are taking a back seat. With focus being given to sadistic shitbags like Caesar, Capone and the Vinsmokes, I find myself tuning in explicitly to see the ostensible protagonists get their asses kicked.
Speaking of, the Vinsmoke scene fell completely flat for me. This is a huge development for them, but their paneltime as been so restricted lately, and their supposed emotionlessness so underdeveloped, that it doesn't feel earned. And on the flipside, they've still been so aggressively shitty that a heroic turnabout is hard to believe, and hard to care about. I mean, Ichiji was introduced sacrifing an underling due to laziness, whereupon he blew the brains out of a soldier grieving for his Germa-killed family. Germa is so vile that Reiju was cool with the entire nation getting destroyed mere minutes ago. I don't feel particularly inclined to cheer for them, especially since chances of Sanji kicking his brothers faces in just sharply dropped. Also, even though Pudding has been pegged for Viola-style redemption for a while, its still lame to see her being tsundere for White Knight Sanji.
Still, Big Father is cool, and I can't wait to see Big Mom tear it to shreds.

Meanwhile at Toei animation, Tomita is drooling at all these sexy scenes he gets to animate.

This is just a thesis. But what would happen if the tammatebako gets opened at the base of the castle?
Have we received any information on how powerful the explosives inside the chest are?
If not, someone might pry into it just to be welcomed by a massive explosion. My doubt is, might it be possible to have an explosion powerful enough to destroy the foundations of Mama's tea party building? It would certainly bring insult to injury and still it would add another layer which would allow the crew to escape (in all that chaos conveyed). Sadly if something like this happens its execution must be impeccable to avoid any feelings of 'well, that's TOO convenient' or meh..'we hit a deux ex machina event':sad: -
So wait… what's Yonji's power again?
-
I wonder how Toei is gonna deal with a string of episodes that are canonically filled with front to back screaming
-

Over the course of 17 episodes. Per Germa transformation, of course
-
This chapter was okay. Loved the spread of Germa 66 posing. Could the Tamate Box possibly have fallen on the side where the Apple Juice waterfall is? Maybe he brings it back up the top and BM sees it in his hands and assumes he was trying to steal her treasure. She's already pissed off at him and this could be the icing on the cake for her to outright want to murder him.

-

With that Alias? He ''wrenches'' people to death. Perhaps he's good at plumbing.:ninja:
-
Nami x Sanji for life. When luffy said sanji can bring his wife in the crew, he wasn't talking about pudding, he was talking about NAMI!
Anyway, now that he also gives them power Rangers, sentai, whatever suit transformation too, better go all the way and give them megazord if you want to do it properly, oda.
-

Well I believe it's "winch…"
Which makes about the same amount of sense to me… since zero is about the same as zero.
-
Maybe he's known for foiling enemies' plots. As in "throwing a wrench" into their plans. :ninja:
-
Cool chapter! Pudding's reaction to Sanji catching Nami… Oh boy I can't wait to see where that leads. I guess Pudding is falling for Sanji or maybe just surprised at how a man and woman can be so happy with on another?
-
Maybe Sanji will gte his own suit… and only use it when he has no other way to win a battle in the future.
-
I really thought that all the people in the castle will strengthen the castle with Haki. Weird that Oda did not do that
I wanted Big Mom to smash that shit just to show us that she is no joke at all and also it would settle once and for all that Big Mom>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Luffy -

Sorry, my bad. yep, he's the ''wincher'' of the family. Whatever that means anyway. Maybe he's an expert in assassination by hanging, or he's the one to call when your car breaks down…

@Daz:

I imagine they will either ignore it or just try to animate everything they can in 1 go for once.
-
They'll just fill up the gaps with some filler episodes in the middle of the scream, lmfao
-

Suppose they could extend BM flashback with her killing more random animals accidentally.
As for covering this chapter… I think I'll smash my monitor if I ever look at the episode(s).
-

They can always recreate their MARVELOUS SCENES of Ace crying during Marine ford. With Mama questioning 'Where did you go mother' every 2 fcking minutes while sending us 5 second still shots of every and I stress EVERY dmn character attending the wedding.(The convocation has enough characters to have a 10+ minutes filler with still shots - from different perspectives of course for our entertainment
) then after the FB we could have a 30 second sequence of Katakuri releasing his rice earplugs and the mirror+launchers being destroyed (with of course another round of Stills of everyone plus their grandma's reactions to the events)…Yes, I can't wait for that day, GLORIOUS!
