BREAK NEXT WEEK
Edit: It seems the site is having instability problems.
Franky haki confirmed
Fans rejoice
@King-Cannon
Maybe, but who knows.
Some people think Franky knows Haki, because of his upgraded attack "Strong Impact Right" and Luffy saying they are using Haki, because they've hurt him.
Vegapunk's interrupted message:
"To those scattered throughout the world who bear the name of D, within you is a (..........) that name (.........) but actually nothing of the sort. (.........) which might consider a will inherited through the years (.........) can only pray that those at the mercy of this reason will be able to hear this message."
@King-Cannon Luffy got hurt and commented on them using haki. We got foreshadowing earlier too.
Luffy who is immune to blunt damage got hurt by Franky's punch
Also in this Chapter, the attack is named Strong Impact Right which is indication of infusing Haki. Also see the Shockwave around the punch. Looks similar to Rayleigh and Sentomaru
So, what's the trick here that the IG has that Luffy couldn't do in hurting Warcury? Is he just incredibly strong, or does he has some sort of energy source that can bypass their magic hoodoo?

Franky doesn't have Haki. Unlike Sanji and Bonney, his arm doesn't blacken (why would Oda not ink it while he did for Sanji and Bonney?). And Luffy's dialogue could easily refer to just those two.
Also, he tried to hit Kizaru with a laser just a few chapters ago. That's not something someone with Haki would have done.
@King-Cannon Franky has haki. Otherwise Luffy would have said you two have Haki . Also see the clear shading of Field around Strong Impact Right it is Somilar to CoA bubble of Rayleigh and Sentomaru in the image I posted.
Also Franky hurt Luffy earlier with a punch similar to Haki users
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:

He said "you are using Haki". "You" could refer to Sanji and Bonney, or even just Bonney.
It does not need to include Franky.
And again, I point to Franky trying to hit Kizaru with a laser, as if he had no other option.
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
Also Franky hurt Luffy earlier with a punch similar to Haki users
Why would he need to use Haki in that situation, though? Does Nami also have Haki because her punches hurt Luffy for comedy effect?
Again, the single biggest of evidence of Franky trying to hit a Logia with something that's not Haki should tell you everything.
Also the fact his arm didn't become dark when Sanji and Bonney's attacks did. That effect ONLY EXISTS so Oda can tell us Haki is being used.

If Oda was really using this scene to tell us Franky has Haki, it would be an incredibly dumb oversight to only add the black effect to Sanji and Bonney and forget to do it with Franky.
Imagine using a scene to convey a new info about a character, but add the visual cue of that info to every other character except that exact one.
Although in this particular case, I would prefer if it truly was a mistake. We are long past the point people like Franky and Robin should be able to use at least basic Haki.
@King-Cannon The fact that Franky chose to attack Kizaru in the first place indicates he had haki. Who is to say lasers can't be coated with Haki? Did Kizaru not hurt Marco with lasers?
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
Also see the clear shading of Field around Strong Impact Right it is Somilar to CoA bubble of Rayleigh and Sentomaru in the image I posted.
It only looks like a normal impact bubble.
Also, that type of haki is specifically considered to be of the advanced kind, which Luffy literally only learned last arc after a lot of training. No way Franky has that without going through basic hardening first.

Kizaru hurt Marco with lasers after having seastone placed on him lol
He didn't need to use Haki there.
@King-Cannon Powercreep happens. Franky Strong Impact right bubble is similar to what Boa sisters used un Amazon lily too.
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
You know that Marco always gets hurt right? He's not Logia. He just restores from damage inflicted on him. The seastone in this case was to prevent his regeneration, which is limited. That does not prove Kizaru has haki on his lasers.
Also, as pointed out before, Oda wouldn't have forgotten to darken Franky's fist after doing the same to Sanji and Bonney. And the effect you pointed out in Rayleigh and Sentomaru have already been confirmed to be advanced Haki that very few people know.
Nothing concretely indicates Franky has Haki. I can tell Bonney has Haki just by seeing her fist blacken. Why Franky needs all this unnecessary back and forth if he has Haki?
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon Powercreep happens. Franky Strong Impact right bubble is similar to what Boa sisters used un Amazon lily too.
It just looks like a typical impact bubble though?
Again, why didn't Franky had his fist blackened, while Sanji and Bonney did? Even Hyogoro used the blackening effect when using advanced CoA.
@King-Cannon Marco doesn't always get hurt. He was fine here
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon Marco doesn't always get hurt. He was fine here
He literally says that attack hurted him there, but very convenient of you to erase the dialogue bubbles.
We know enough about Marco's ability to know he doesn't let attacks pass through. He uses regeneration, not intangibility.
@King-Cannon No Blackening because Franky does not have Hardening whose whole point us to make body metal like while Franky is already Metal. So it is redundant. While bubble CoA is to generate more impact which is exactly what Franky did this chapter
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon No Blackening because Franky does not have Hardening whose whole point us to make body metal like while Franky is already Metal.
What a convenient argument based on absolute nothing.
I guess Zoro or any other swordsman don't need to use Haki on their swords since they're already metal...
@King-Cannon No he doesn't. Rather the attack was blocked and Marco was not hurt.
@King-Cannon Swordsmen coat their Sword to avoid breaking them because they are difficult to repair unlike Franky who can easily do so
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon No he doesn't. Rather the attack was blocked and Marco was not hurt.
It does.
Marco does not have intangibility. And Haki attacks alone are not more effective on him than normal ones. His fruit is all about regeneration.
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon Swordsmen coat their Sword to avoid breaking them because they are difficult to repair unlike Franky who can easily do so
Lol.
A sword is not more difficult to repair than a metal fist.
What kind of wonky argument is this.
@King-Cannon That's just Marco mocking Kizaru
@King-Cannon How many times did you see a sword getting repaired in One Piece?
Wapo metal is easy to repair
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon How many times did you see a sword getting repaired in One Piece?
Blacksmiths exist? That alone tells us swords get repaired all the time.
Again, what kind of wonky argument is this?
The fact is, Oda did not show Franky using hardening like Sanji and Bonney.
That's equivalent to Oda telling us "Franky has no Haki. Sorry guys".
Even Hyogoro uses hardening when using "Haki Bubbles". There's just no real evidence here. I could very well say Nami has as much Haki by the way she tortured Luffy into a cage at the beginning of the arc.
@King-Cannon Lol literally Oda said those 3 used haki. Nitpickers gonna Nitpick

If that's how it works, why is Sanji using it, then? His body is currently sturdier than metal...
@access-timeco Do Sanji legs turn black in Ifeit Jambe?
@T Sanji usually has black pants and shoes anyway, but his haki has been directly confirmed in several occasions. Also, Ifrit itself requires haki as he explained when he first used it.
I don't think this chapter proves Franky has haki. Where/how he would even learn it? There was no previous setup for anything like that, and Bonney/Sanji hitting Luffy with haki is enough to harm Luffy. It was never said all three were hitting him with haki.
I love the team rocket gag.
I was glad that the transponder snail came back online in the water, away from the fight! I wouldn't be surprised if the five elders could deal with the sea regardless though. Then the robot came back to the fight anyway, back to the message being at risk smh...
@T I’m pretty sure they turn blue, in one of the covers it shows it as blue, it’ll probably turn black at the end of the series if he learns conquerors haki
@T said in Chapter 1119: EMET:
@King-Cannon Lol literally Oda said those 3 used haki. Nitpickers gonna Nitpick
Says the guy who starts posting tons of unrelated pages that prove nothing. That's the definition of nitpicking when you go all the way back to the Whitebeard War to prove a point. And then follow with some nonsense about "swords are different from metal punches guys".
I'm just following Occam's Razor here. There's no visual or narrative evidence Franky has Haki. No one but you are arguing he does.
(Especially since Oda made a big deal when Usopp started using it. I would expect a bit of a fanfare if true)
Cipher Pol don't want you. VP dead. Where does Stussy go? Babysit the Seraphim?
Help, the Haki discussion here is horrible, make it stop!
Way more interesting: Sanji telling Bonney to hit Luffy because it's "Captain's orders" as if she was a crewmate.
What's interesting from what T posted was Franky punching Luffy from some chapters ago. The blood coming from Luffy's mouth would be telling or a mistake but I imagine it was residual blood from Luffy's battle before hand.
I would imagine that Oda would have been very clear about the darkening of Franky's fist with a clear acknowledgement that it happened without any ambiguity. Bonney and Sanji's darkening being there while none for Franky leave plenty of room for debate. I say Franky is not using the special armament but this may be a little foreshadowing to get us talking before an actual reveal of Franky's Haki emerging.
Also is it clear that Sanji's legs are turning black? I mean clearly in the panel they are black. But I only ask because we've basically never really seen that clear as a bell before right? What is he wearing in this arc? Shorts? Future boost shoes? I need to go back and check earlier panels.
Edit: Oh wow! You know I think this is the first time that it has been clear as a bell that Sanji blackened his leg. No weird dark colored pants or fire are making it iffy.
Sanji is wearing shorts in this arc. So we can see his white skin at the knee. In this chapter I thought the black and white effect was from the reflection of the fire. But everything illuminated on Sanji's body is glowing in one direction except for his knee. Sanji's leg is black at the very least from the knee down, and clearly we can see the fire effects lower down towards the shin and foot.
@RomanceDawn said in Chapter 1119: EMET:

Shorts and future shoes. His shoes were normally black but you can see in this chapter the haki-coat reaching up to his naked knee. Besides, Ifrit Jamble requires haki to work.
@Deicide Right, I understand it's only Haki that allows Ifrit to work, my point is that we can see the blackening very clearly. When Sanji blocked Judge's Spear with his pants covered leg we were told he used Haki but we couldn't see the blackening.
Hey going back to haki allowing Ifrit to work. Retroactively doesn't that explain Diable Jambe period? Like a low level, subconscious use of armament. Better armament allowed for the resistance to hotter flames.
Retcon or not it would be a well explained answer to what had been happening all along. Much like Zoro and his breath of all things being learned against Daz.
Some thing I've noticed from this chapter:
-In all this haki discussion I think we're missing something from the cover story. Some kid hurt Yamato, a conqueror's haki user with just a rock. Clearly, this child must be a master haki user in will be a future powerhose in the future.
-Kaku is crying because one of his friends betrayed him. How ironic.
-The physics of Dawn Balloon makes no sense, and I admit it hurts the sequence.
-Ju Peter returns and does something useful. Good for him.
-It's been made a big deal that even Gear 5 Luffy hasn't been able to hurt Warcury, but the robot just broke a tusk. Is there meaning behind this, or is it just for the sake of a cool image? Both are equally possible.
Neat chapter, though I worry that Atlus has raised a death flag. I admit, I don't want this one to die. Sure hope that's not the case.

I know you are joking but I know a few people brought this up a a few times before. So for them, not you, I think very much like any person in the story they can still feel bee stings and stumped toes. Despite being able to withstand massive amounts of damage with or without Haki they don't become naturally invulnerable.
Franky's front is made mostly of metal so he doesn't feel much pain from little things. He can stand there like it doesn't hurt but he said himself the bullets sting a little.
Top tiers aren't Clark Kent style Super Men in this story where it's as if they can't feel the day to day hassles of life. Big Mom was probably the closest to that.
As for the Dawn Balloon physics, my mind went straight to a Pool table or Billiards. That might explain it nicely.
Was unsure how I felt about JoyBonney last week but I'm glad I kept calm to wait and see how it played out. I think Merphy Napier summed it up well in her chapter review. To sum up her summary: It made sense, it works thematically but practically it could cause issues. For me, there was a limit to how much I could accept JoyBonney as a great conclusion for her arc before it would become jarring, I think Oda stayed well under that limit with this chapter so yeah thumbs up for Bonney.
This was the first interesting cover page, so far it's kinda been Decks of the World- Wano edition which I didn't mind, because of how abruptly Wano ended but still good to see that that's not all it's going to be. Wano's prejudice across generations is alive and well, which is "good" to see, because generally speaking after every arc, everythings perfect. A million people were ready to go to war against Cobra in Alabasta, but then the truth came out and everyone loved him again, but Wano never really addressed the persecution of the Kurozumi clan and even if the "Kurozumi was born to burn" line was obviously about Orochi, the whole play as well as the school scene in chapter 1052 never sat quite right with me. I have no idea if Oda intended the morality to be ambigious, it really doesn't feel like his style, but if this cover story can give us some commentary on it, I very much welcome that.
Kaku and Stussy, sweet.
I thought the message was over and I was happy with that, but now that it isn't we need one more big reveal, cause otherwise what's the point of bringing it back.
Gaimon and Sarfunkel just having the best of times, ignorance can really be a bliss.
Seems like things are set up for a few more sacrifices before we can escape. Atlas, Emet and I don't really see Kuma's arc being quite finished yet either.
I liked this chapter, short again, but a better chapter to head into a break than 1118 for sure.
@RomanceDawn said in Chapter 1119: EMET:

We never got official confirmation, but I always thought that was the case. I feel Luffy, Zoro and Sanji used haki in subconscious ways all over the pre-timeskip era, and Diable Jambe's heat is kept by armament. Its first use didn't even have Sanji lighting his leg on fire, just making it so hot via friction that it glowed red, indicating how weak this supposed haki was.
@Deicide Yes agreed. And your word is correct subconscious not unconscious, hehehe.
When Luffy flew off to Amazon Lily Marigold and Sandersonia both utilized Haki in ways that were reminiscent of Zoro in Alabasta and Sanji at Enies Lobby. That was always a subtle hint to me about the both of them. I hope some day Oda discusses it further.
Yes, it's a short one again and yes, there's a break again, but I'm just happy to be back doing three chapters in a row, you know? Let's hope things stay this way for a bit. It's definitely a good chapter for the idea of 'please for the love of god wait a week if something feels like it's ruining the whole story,' with Bonney pretty easily disproving all of the community's most reactionary fears about her transformation in one go.
Confronting Wano's lingering prejudices in the cover story is a pleasant surprise. I wasn't sure there'd be a way to do it in the near-wordless cover stories, but Oda's taking it on anyway. This choice helps retroactively justify the slow start to the story because of the contrast it creates with all the people heaping praise and assistance on them in the early installments. I did have, looking at this, a thought about Wano's culture. Some comments are quick to call out the country's citizens for not learning from the monster they created in Orochi by blaming blood instead of individual, and I myself was pretty hard on Hiyori on that point back when the arc ended. But we have to remember, the purge of the Kurozumis happened when Orochi was a child, and the man died at 54. So have these kids learned from what happened to Orochi? Hell no, they weren't around for that. Even Hiyori wouldn't have seen the events Orochi lashed out over. And yes, there may be older people alive who witnessed the full cause and effect, they might be forgiven for not passing that down fully to their kids considering what's been happening to them for the past 20 years. You have to solve issues of life and death before people are able to ease their focus toward social problems. Hopefully Wano is now at the point where they can start doing that.
Getting into the chapter proper, Stussy's trajectory continues to be a mystery. Given how things are going, there might be time for her to reach the Sunny and save herself. I actually feel for Kaku though in this scene. You can tell there's a part of him that's not fully cut out for this kind of work. He seemed to regret having to betray Galley La too, although he didn't take that one quite as hard. Maybe he should have got out during the timeskip while he had the chance.
Mars's "defeat" on the sea below is something I think could have been choreographed more clearly. Like, the concept works, but it's spread over so many pages that it looks more like Bonney, Sanji and Franky push Luffy into Mars for an extended struggle before he flies away. Given that the final push seems to be Luffy fully inflating, what was the point of what the others were doing? I think this should have been something more like the launch of a cannonball, where the three hit Luffy simultaneously back near the ship and he flies out and hits Mars full force, carrying the launching power of their attacks. You could still fit the back and forth around using Haki into that in roughly the same number of panels, and the motions of it would actually make sense. Turning things that seem like the should be quick hits int physics-defying pushing struggles is nonsense when the anime does it to draw out scenes, and it's nonsense when Oda does it too.
But luckily, this one kinda awkward clash actually isn't the finale of the arc just yet. The Sunny's group is being held up, presumably by Nusjuro, and the other Elders aren't giving up yet.
The broadcast is surprisingly still creeping on, but it's so fragmented and out of context here I'm not sure it's worth speculating until it's properly over and we can lay out the whole thing with the gaps exposed.
I'm worried by Atlas's moment though. That thought to Lilith about York's monitoring feels really ominous for her survival chances. Are all the good Vegapunks really going to die together on Egghead? I wonder if Atlas and Lilith will work together to take York out of the World Government's hands as well, ending them all in a blaze of glory. That would be a sad; they're fun characters, and I really like Atlas's design. Normally with Oda you wouldn't worry about this kind of thing, but with Shakka and Pythagoras gone and Edison implied to be down and out as well, it's starting to feel more likely.
While they're not outright succeeding at their objectives, I'm still pretty impressed at the Elders' teamwork here and through the arc. It can't be understated how bad it has the potential to be that Ju Peter just put the Seraphim back in the hands of the Government agents surrounding the Giants' ship. Wait, can Bonney control them as easily as the Pacifistas? Stands to reason she could, but as soon as they sense she's unable to give an order, things start to look really, really bad for Luffy's group. But anyway, I like the combo of using Ju Peter's big suck to hold the ship in place while Warcury charges in and sinks it.
And don't think I didn't notice his lack of fear about hitting the water after. It doesn't outright confirm anything - we've seen a lot of Devil Fruit users make big risky jumps over open sea in the past - but it's definitely an interesting addition to the evidence.
(Also the concern about the spat-out Cipher Pol agents "dying on impact" is pretty funny considering they're only here after surviving the even bigger fall from the Labophase basement, but I guess the Marines on the ships wouldn't know that.)
And what a note to go out on, that big robot panel. The shadows and shading look great, and we get a delicious little echo of the ancient past as it finally gets its moment in the sun. And the fact that Luffy has leapt back to the island means they could be fighting side by side, at least for a little bit. You can't see it in the actual chapter because the typesetting is all caps anyway, but the chapter list on Mangaplus renders the name 'EMET' in capslock, which they usually don't do. Curious to see if anything comes from that, like an acronym or something.
There's the mystery of what makes the time right for EMET now, presumably the same thing Roger was "too early" for, but putting toegether the dots, what was it that made it seem like the time could be right 200 years ago. Have there been multiple opportunities to do whatever the One Piece was intended to do, and all we're seeing is the one that works?
As ready as I am to see Elbaf, I'm also not going to complain about Egghead taking the extra few chapters it needs to totally put a bow on things. A climax for the remaining Vegapunks. The big escape for the Sunny's group. A final smackdown on Saturn for all he put Kuma and Bonney through and the definitive last word of the broadcast are going to be worth it in the long run. Will the Elders be allowed to achieve their objectives of capturing Punk Records and the Mother Flame, or will Atlas/Lilith/Stussy perform one final, sacrificial act of sabotage and make it so everyone loses?
With break week nigh again, I'm going to drop volume 2 of my rewrite project at some point in the next seven days, either when spoilers would normally hit or when the official release would be on a chapter week.
Emeth Sparks Joy to the readers
Nika does not.
the second page of the chapter was a complete eye sour. I'd rather watch Foxy play more Davy games than seeing Nika laughing around with his stupid face.
