It's honestly a little too early to tell, but the Minks have a very deep connection with the full moon, which implies that they may have some sort special lineage that's been shackled for some reason. But essentially, Chopper can be considered mink-like.
Besides Masira and the other monkey guy the only Minks (Space ones) we saw way back in skypeia were space pirates. I think its safe to assume minks are a space race like skypeians.

Masira and shoujou weren't minks or monkeys, just very monkey-esque humans.
So you're thinking it will be between physical transformations and amplified abilities that bring something a little new to the table but not too unfamiliar?
Yeah, well obviously we have a really limited knowledge just now so I've lumped it into 2 pretty broad groups.
I'm just wondering how much variety we'll get between different minks when they transform really.
At least, you helped me convince that Carrot isn't going to be the next nakama lol
I hope you're right with the things you just said.Minks can swim tho, Chopper cannot.
Neither can Luffy, Robin or Brook. Jimbei joining the crew vastly decreases that handicap since he can rescue all of them in an instant with his Fishman skills. He'll be much more effective at it than just about anyone else.

I don't think space pirates could be classified as Minks.

Weren't they robots or something?

jimbe has fat vasco shot.
weevil has the strength of WB in his Young days, as in he is up there with luffy and bb, no way one of luffy-s underlings takes him on.
the unknown nakama of bb could even be a girl, and they need it since it-s too much of sausage fest in there.

The robots were automatas created at Earth. The fox with a spear and a top hat was a genuine alien.

Don't forget the fact that Weevil wants revenge on BB.

Ah, thanks. Hadn't read that one in a long time. Just feels like a waste if we're never going to have any more significant interactions with the extraterrestrials than a cover arc.
The SH shouldn't go to space.
Fuck space.
It took me reading the chapter 2 times, then switching back and forth from page 6 to page 13 to realize that in her transformed state that Carrot got a neck ruffle/collar of fur. … and here I've been hatin' on Chopper's furry collar he grows only when he's in heavy point after the timeskip. Now it doesn't seem to be so freaking odd.
…..ok scratch that, it IS still weird as hell but not as bad as Kung Fu Point
Reading the official release allowed me to understand the chapter much better. I gotta say, it's pretty bold of Oda draw that kind of transformation. Now I'm more interested in why the Minks have to rely on the Full Moon.

I guess it's because Reindeers tends to grow more fur in the neck area.

Maybe is because the same reason why a Werewolf transforms at the full moon.

I'm more curious about how Oda is going to put his own twist on it when it's explained. I know it's kind of farfetched, but I can't stop myself from relating the "dawn" to the Minks full moon forms, kind of a shackled ability. ya know?

Chopper's is an oversized block while Carrot's looks natural.

Oda could easily spin that later in a sbs by saying maybe they had a little mink dna or something. He did try that whole super floaty wood thing lol
Fun chapter. Officially on the Carrot Nakama train. That form is just…majestic. I hope we see other Mink tranformations too. I'm hoping for a gag where Pekom's transformation is super ugly lol especially since he's already a lion. Perhaps that's why he wears glasses, to avoid transforming during a full moon.
So I wonder if Inuarashi and Nekomamushi would transform into their younger selves, like they transform back to when they were at their prime.

Was it just this chapter that flipped to that train? I mean a acrobatic floaty melee rabbit is cool and all, but there's still nothing to her outside of that transformation.

Ya little bit. Wouldn't mind seeing her chewing on Luffy for the rest of their adventures. This was a moment for her to shine, and for me, she did. It's not like I'm emotionally attached to her yet, just I can see her getting to the point of eventually joining the SH crew and it feeling as satisfying.

There is plenty of time for her to develop anyways, she's actually slightly more enjoyable than some of the more recent side characters, well for me anyways. Still want my kunoichi….

As long as the kunoichi aren't as useless as Kishimoto's kunoichi.

Don't even bring that up…....lol

… I think you misunderstood me.
I am not comparing the exact appearance of the neck ruffs to each other (as in 'Chopper's is stiff and looks like a Tudor ruffle while Carrots is soft and flowing and reminds me of a neck scarf')
It was the 'characters whose neck fur is normally same length as rest of body fur transforms and suddenly fur on neck grows out like a ruff while rest of body fur does not grow' that I found similar. and saying I an not so wierded out by Chopper's neck ruff as I had been.
Just another manic Monday. Not many major differences in translations this week.

Mah boy Vasco is just swollen, too much drinking.
Don't forget that Lawthere is another nakama joining Luffy too!
- The scanlations of the chapter originally referred to Carrot's transformation as Suron/Ceylon; however, now all three versions say "Sulong".
I didn't notice JB had changed it. Sulong it is, then… does the official translation mention the origin of the term, though?
But even if it is a word Oda made up, I'm glad we reached an unified romanization within the fandom. I was about to start calling it resurrección (lib phrase "Me 4 nakama, LA CONEJITA SENSUAL!")

I'm not convinced its made up. A very quick google shows ""Sulong" means "battle cry" in Filipino" and these images

I assume the search results are different based on your location/search history. The link only gets me a Carrot coloring, multiple images of a guy with glasses and, inexplicably, some Steven Universe fanarts.
A crapton of Filipino Rubik cubes. Oh yeah and the guy with glasses after a while.

Interesting. I'm getting mostly headshots of models, and that guy from House of Cards.

Ja,ha,ja! Me gusto esa, la conejita sensual jajajaja. I was still thinking it was Ceylon but Sulong sounds a bit more better imo. Im just dissapointed that Chopper didnt have the chance to do something epic.
yeah, ceylon didn't make any sense since the sounds are simply not there.
but again, it doesn't seem to resemble any word from any language, not one that makes sense anyway.
There are conflicting reports on a holiday break next week, so be ready for it.
Any update?
National holiday in Japan?
The good old Christmas/New Year's Eve Break.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Isn't it pretty common for 3-4 week breaks around the holidays?
so no chapter this week
Will eating the cake make Mama vulnerable again?
@K.:
Will eating the cake make Mama vulnerable again?
I think she'll pass out. What would happen then?
I meant in the same way Big Mom was able to be injured after breaking the portrait of Carmel. Both being the opposite emotion of course. Extreme distraught/joy.
I think she'll pass out. What would happen then?
My prediction is she'll have such a reaction to the deliciousness, it'll trigger a massive discharge of all the soul energy she's accumulated and it will create a chain reaction that will devastate any of her forces that are attempting to halt the Straw Hats' escape, making a clean getaway for them and the other non-Big Mom crews.
Hello to all exploring AP!!
CHC here, bringing the latest in the chapter review, the link at the bottom will cover the following;

Daifuku and Smoothie enter back in the scene!!

Couldn't Chopper be considered a Mink though? Minks are just sentient animal humanoids. Unless genetically there is something else special about them, couldn't we argue Chopper eating the DF transformed him from animal to Mink?
So if Chopper had a child with a Human lady in his ''humanoid'' form. , would his offspring be a Mink:wassat:? - A half deer or …. my brain.....:sad::sad:

Well normally the genetic differences would prohibit successful breeding, but given how weird the OP universe is, the answer is 'not a clue'.
Come to think of it, Minks would have to interbreed between their species because otherwise they'd run out of options other than rampant inbreeding. Actually, unless they ARE breeding outside of just Zou, that'll inevitably happen anyway…
Yeah, why aren't there any cheetahs with deer horns and waggy tails?
Isn't Pekom's mom a bear?
I assume that the Minks are like the Fishmen where they inherit traits of random aquatic species throughout their entire bloodline of various animals just because diversity.
Minks can only be mammals right? We haven't seen a snake mink or a bird mink or an amphibian mink, I think. It'd be interesting if there were a species of human-animal hybrid for every category. Fishmen are fish (and invertebrates -.-), Minks are mammals… I want an Arachnoids island, and a reptilian island. Yes I do.
Birdpeople island would be cool too...
@Count:
I assume that the Minks are like the Fishmen where they inherit traits of random aquatic species throughout their entire bloodline of various animals just because diversity.
But we've also seen Fishmen breed with other species like humans and giants so they at least have an out if there are no settlements of theirs outside of Fishman Island. Zou's population has to be very limited living all in one place so unless they can do the same and the offspring are pretty much almost entirely Mink regardless of the other parent, then depending on how long they've existed, they may have already been severely inbred for generations.
well, I asked this question somewhere before, because there have been a couple frog people on whole cake island. But it is hard to answer if it is an entire race or just homies.
Now Big News Morgans is definitely a birdperson and not a homie. So there you have it, there are at least Fishmen, Minks and Birdpersons. Amphipeople are as of yet possible but due to the nature of Wholecake island it's hard to tell what they are.
