Chapter 951: Rampage
-
-
My guess will be Luffy using an Elephant Gun and Blackbeard will match it with a Kidd-esque giant metal (or other substance or combination of substances) fist he ejects from his gravity field (like when he released all the ruined buildings he absorbed) as a new form of attack. Surely BB will have gained more control over his power after two years so he can probably manipulate how the objects he expels move, possibly with some gravity-related telekinesis.
OR
Luffy punch attack ( which ever) vs Blackbeard using Gura-Gura attackk, think back to Akainu vs Whitebeard -

Napoleon got some serious street cred boost by clashing with Kaido's club. He always felt like the weakest BM homie next to a literal sun and thunderstorm, but look at that!
Good catch. I wonder what kind of technique she used because if Luffy got k.o.ed by the Kairoseki Club, why didn't it effect Napoleon? Shouldn't it weaken the homie???
-
I don't remember when Kanabo-sama was confirmed as having or being of Kairoseki. Was it the Vivre Cards that said this?
-
They'll mostly likely use their fists. That's how Blackbeard do most of the time as well.
B-but my OCD… yeah, it will probably be just his fist. Still, would be cool if each Emperor could have a unique weapon following the 4 original ones and see how Oda would integrate a weapon to Luffy's fighting style without changing it too much.
Why…did Kaido have her cuffs removed? Is he just in the mood for a fight and wanted someone who could actually compete with him? Why bother subduing her with force when she could be restrained to a severe degree and, if necessarily, repeatedly knocked out given how it's obviously very possible to do so?
Now that I think of it, the only thing I can come up with is, it's Oda trying to give Kaido a reason to not be at his strongest when the assault on Onigashima happens. He's not coming out of this scuffle unscathed so even though Luffy hasn't got a chance of standing up to him, whatever there is that will power him up will at least let him maybe strike at a weak point on Kaido that Big Mom opens up. Kinda like Broly's knife wound from his father being a weak point for Goku to exploit.
Out of respect, most likely. They used to be on the same crew, so their relationship is probably not as simple as rivals who want to take each other down. Think about things going south for the SH and 40 years from now, Zoro and Nami and on bad terms and are rivals. Even in a scenario where they would become enemies, I doubt they would allow the other to be disrespected by their subordinates.
The clash was meh. Big Mom's swing is strange and the panel is small. It should have been a double page with the swing in one and the splittings skies in the other. Also a better for Big Mom.
The page before that is much better. Big Mom reminds me of some of those really expreasive paintings you see in asian folklore where it almost feels like an aura is emanating and she's a devil or maybe an ogre.
It was the same for the Shanks x Whitebeard clash. Small panels of them drawing their weapons and clashing, a big one of the clouds being ripped apart. Oda probably just wanted to draw both scenes as similar as possible.
I don't remember when Kanabo-sama was confirmed as having or being of Kairoseki. Was it the Vivre Cards that said this?
Nope. Just assumption because it managed to hurt Luffy, I suppose, although it could be just haki.
-
I'm just bummed that Blacky von beardington stopped using his little wolverine claw. It was good enough to cat scratch shanksu with but suddenly it isn't good enough to wield as an emperor tsk tsk
-
Shanks will give luffy his sword since he dies so no use for it anyway. Or sabo's pipe if he dies.
I'm all for luffy getting kaidou's club. But the best weapon will always be crocodile's golden hook, everything else is mediocre. -

There are many theories that say that Luffy will get a pole, and that with his awakening he will be able to make the pole extend; making a reference to the Monkey God Sun Wukong, a mythological character in which Luffy is highly inspired.
(the pole won't be that thick though)Blackbeard will get an epic weapon and they will both clash with their weapons, splitting the skies.

More likely Luffy is based on Goku who was based on Sun Wukong, lol.
-
Nami already has an extending pole, though… and a rideable cloud (at least Linlin can ride it), so if Oda is going for a Sun Wukong reference she is already two steps ahead of Luffy.
-

Yeah I was gonna say that too, but Luffy is also based a lot of Sun Wukong in particular, like the fact Luffy resembles him by being an anti-god who is against the gods (Tenryuubitos). The same goes to Zoro(Ashura) and Sanji(Satan).

The only obvious reason why King and Urouge wings are bigger than the on of a normal Birkan is because of their sizes. Urouge is already big enough as the size of a pacifista and King is comparably the size of Queen. The bigger the body, the bigger than wings need to be so they can fly. Normal size Birkans, like Ohm, have normal size wings.
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wp4Wuc613p0/hqdefault.jpg
Normal Size Wings Tenguyama's is already a big man, so because of that his wings are extremely big. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/1/13/Tenguyama_Hitetsu_Manga_Infobox.png/revision/latest?cb=20190223222504&path-prefix=esThe wings' size depends on the person's weight and height. Again, this is a theory, so it's possible the King and Tenguyama are indeed from different race which Urogue is not from.
Not that the Anime is anything for canon size measurements, but Tengu appears to be approximately Luffy's height without the Geta Sandals.
I can see King being some "Phoenix" version of the Birkans with some un-introduced properties that make his race so rare in the present. His hair is literal fire.

That would be very interesting to see. It would make the "Marco the Phoenix vs. King the Phoenix Birkan" fight even cooler.

Yeah, i've seen many speculations and theories on it. I did something different tho because the rubber environment thing was used too much

Another reason why it's possible Luffy will get a pole as a weapon is because he used to battle with a pipe when he was a kid, making him have a little bit of skill when it comes to using a pole.

Where was Ace's pole when he needed it?

This theory about Luffy getting a pole is very interesting, although I don't see it happening for aesthetic reasons (it would change Luffy's iconic fighting style).
That said, that would be a really good use for Luffy's awakening, since it doesn't seem very productive to transform the floor and walls into rubber (unless Luffy intends to bounce around like Bellamy).

Thanks for the videos. Also, Nico Robin resembles the "anti-god" part by her epithet "Devil Child".

It could go similar with what happens with Trunks from Dragon Ball Z/Dragon Ball Super. He posses a sword, but he doesn't fights with the sword all the time. He only uses it to finish of his foes; like what happened with Frieza.
Therefore, he could use his pole to finish off his foes or use it to deal strong strikes with it.
Here I give you a fanmaded "Gear 5 Luffy" and his usage with his pole(Source:https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/bhgd2k/theory_for_gear_5_part_1/):

Doesn't seems to bother Sabo though.
Maybe because of his haki, which Ace probably didn't know how to use before melting his pole.

You're throwing the whole purpose of Nyoibou out the window if a rubber-man who attacks from great distance by stretching his arm is using it as a weapon.

After this chapter it feels like we're going to fast forward through most of the 8 days before the big battle. I don't see any way another act could come between the events of this chapter and the climax.
We have Law's situation, Zoro going after his sword, Big Mom's fate after this clash, Kawamatsu's whereabouts, Luffy recovering, Franky fixing up the ships, Kid going after the rest of his crew, and other loose ends like minks and possibly Jinbe finally coming into the fold. But I don't see much of that being expanded upon to warrant another act. So I'm thinking Act 3 is going to be even longer than this one and then the usual post-arc stuff which may or may not fill another act.

We're definitely not skipping most of it. People said the same thing when the arc got underway, that they didn't see how the alliance would survive these two weeks to begin with, especially after Kaido destroyed Luffy, yet we're already several days in with Luffy now having control of the Udon prison.

I'm not questioning how everything is going to come together. I just don't think everything is going to be spelled out before the final battle. The only thing that I could think of that would give enough content for another act would be if the Oden flashback came sooner than expected or if the marines came into the fold for whatever reason. But I feel like those events are more likely to happen in the same act as the final battle.
-
I think this Act ends with a revelation connected to Hiyori, Shusui and Zoro. There's a lot of things that went silent when the Yasuie stuff came up like who is Witching Hour Boy, Tenguyama, Gyakimaru and the Kokeshi dolls. I still wonder if there's more to Hiyori's reaction to when Zoro said "Santoryu". Maybe because he's the only weirdo that does something like that or it's something familiar
-
I like the setup of our main characters as enemies of the state alot. Appropriately illustrates how the original plan has gone off the rails. Makes the big showdown coming up more about redeeming personal failures than anything else.
On another note, I like the look of the abandoned port, there's just something about decrepit architecture that gives it a sense of ambience. You can see the admiration for ships Oda has there.

I know that's what you're saying. I disagree. I won't pretend I'll be able to predict what will happen in the coming days, as it's not like I could predict most of what has occurred in Act 2 either. I'm just confident that Oda wouldn't repeatedly stress how many days are left just to go ahead and suddenly skip through most of them.

Okay, so we already know that Oda is going all in on this Wano (Japan) arc and has already included many beasts/creatures/beings from Japanese folklore.
As soon as Luffy woke up he encountered a Komainu named Komachiyo. Then in a recent SBS Oda also explained that there are other creatures with flaming fur called Komashika (Hawkin's mount), Komadane, and Komatori.
Of course we have also been introduced to a Tengu or Daitengu named Hitetsu and a Kappa named Kawamatsu, both very famous Yokai from Japanese lore.
So considering the existance of all these beings, why couldn't King's race also come from Japanese lore. I will offer my opinion that King is a Karura.
Karura are bird-like creatures and actually are the Japanese equivalent to the Garuda from Hinduism. They have the wings and face/beak of a bird. Continuing with this "bird" theme but knowing Oda wanted all of Kaido's All-Stars to be dinosaurs or ancient zoan related he gave King the pteranadon devil fruit to still give him wings and a beak but not break from the ancient zoan theme.
They are also heavily associated with fire and said to breath fire. The fire halo that appears behind some beings is also referred to as the "karura flame" and that is what King has. That isn't his hair.
Interestingly, they are also the mortal enemies of naga in Hinduism and snakes/dragons in Japanese Buddhist lore. It is also said that a dragon can only escape a karura by possessing a Buddhist talisman or converting to Buddhism.

You're throwing the whole purpose of Nyoibou out the window if a rubber-man who attacks from great distance by stretching his arm is using it as a weapon.
The use of a pole with his df will increase his impact, dealing more damage. It's like you didn't watch the beginning of Luffy's fight against Katakuri, where Kata used his mochi powers to make his trident spin; making it more deadly.

1. I didn't get what you tried to say with "the same is different also", what do you mean?
2. I also don't see Oda making three characters with somewhat similar wings and making them part of different races. You are basically saying that there are a total of 4 races with the special characteristic of them having wings(5 if you include Shandians, but they are just a hybrid race of humans and skypieans). I don't think Oda would've straight up made those amounts of races with the same special characteristic, and with what purpose anyway?
I mean that King's wings are completely different to Skypeians. King's wings are also way bigger than Urouge's.
He is of different race, that much is clear
