My question pertains to Big Mum's homies, in particular the chess soldiers. I understand how homies in general are made, essentially taking souls from other people and putting them into animals and inanimate objects, to create these homies. But, with the chess soldiers, not only are they, well chess pieces, but also somewhat human in appearance? I'm curious how these were created and she manages to create so many? They seem to be quite a lot in numbers and it's kinda bugged me as to how they were made. Unless I've some how skipped over this in the manga?

If anyone knows I'd personally love to know.

Sigh…... I'm not gunna continue to bitch and complain, but well yeah....

Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I'm just not a big fan of it. Though luckily I'm in the minority for that, which is good. I just like giving my opinion and that's my opinion of it. I'm just not a fan of how Oda is handling this current arc. But, some random guy's opinion doesn't concern Oda. He's enjoying himself and so are the majority of the fanbase. That's all that matters to me.

I'm sure I'll continue to read and somewhat enjoy it and future arcs.

@Sirxxx:

But you gotta remember that they're not trying to take Big Mom down–they have 0.0000% chance of doing that. They're just trying to SURVIVE her. All these shenanigans that we've been reading about for the last 4-6 months has been solely so that our main plot-armored protagonists can just survive this encounter. It gives Big Mom some of her street cred back.

Also, Big Mom cannot "beat them up"--if she hits someone, she's gonna kill em. It's a 0 or 1, there's no inbetween. So since Oda can't "0" his main characters, he can't show them tanking blows from Big Mom. I'm sorry you're not enjoying it as much and I hope it picks up again for you really soon! Reading week to week sucks sometimes...

Hey thanks mate, i try not to bring other's down with my negativity. I'm always happy that most people are enjoying it week to week. Looks like I'm one of the few who isn't. I do agree with what you're saying though, it would be bad if she did manage to hit them, but then if she did and they tanked it would also get her more ridicule in the fanbase.

I know they're not trying to take her down, but she's going to be essentially knocked out by a cake, lol. Can't be the only one who finds that really stupid. Regardless of her fascination with sweets. Though i guess it gives some credence to Sanji with his cooking.

Was a pretty good chapter. Still not a big fan of this Sulong thing. Basically giving an already over-powered race another power up, that's over-powered. Now, yes it does have a drawback. But, we only got to see what someone like Carrot could do with it. Imagine what Nekomamushi and Inuarashi can do. This is why I'm not a big fan of it. Quite the convenience to introduce it here, too. What with them being outnumbered by a massive fleet. Just jump into your over-powered form and take most of them out, lol.

It's quite disappointing that a Yonko is going to be taken down by a cake. I know people like to harp on about how Oda is the greatest and what not, this is just absurd. Not to mention her entire crew has been reduced to a bunch of useless idiots, save Katakuri. If this is how Oda handles the Yonko so far, Wano will be set-up for disappointment for myself.

The ending was cool, but again i kind of don't get excited. Every time we get a moment like this, Oda does something that goes the SHP way or they get a convenience. Just let her beat them up already… It's not bad enough you've had one of the most powerful pirates running around like a complete moron for 8 hours wanting a cake.... It just kind of knocks the air out of me and ruins my enjoyment. The arc started pretty good, but has just deteriorated to what it is now. Just felt my enjoyment of the series drain every week, especially from this arc.

Anyway, enough of my negativity. Chapter was okay, just wish we'd move on already. Kinda of bored of seeing a Yonko get made a fool of, because the SHP's are there.
