Kaido is actually a good and honorable guy that is under influence and/or forced to do bad by Jack who is working behind the scenes and pretending to be an underling. Kaido wants to die so he would escape from Jack and his tyranny.
You heard it here.
I can already see Sawyer's, KoL, RogersBase and Fornever's reaction. Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Okay, time to unpack this chapter.
First off, some notes:
Vivi is cute but she looks way too much like Nami there
Love the continuing mafiosa stuff from Big Mom's crew. I know it was a serious moment but I couldn't help laughing at the idea of someone trying to stuff Ivankov's giant head in that little box.
Pekoms is great
Carrot is cute
Nekomamushi is adorable
Sudden transition to party felt awkward
I get that the adults falling asleep is supposed to be a gag, but it just fell flat for me. So many ways to avoid that problem.Alright, now for thoughts/predictions.
Some people are questioning why Sanji wanted a bounty and accurate picture if he was avoiding his family. The obvious answer is that the Vinsmoke family had no use for Sanji until now, for political reasons. As the third son in the family with a good heart, Sanji isn't cut out to be a killer and serves little use as heir or otherwise to the family. He ran away or was abandoned and Papa Vinsmoke never bothered to look for him because he never had a use for Sani. With Sanji gaining fame as a pirate and the potential for inroads with Big Mom, Papa Vinnie recalls Sanji for purely political reasons.This also implies that the first and second sons of the Vinsmoke family are already married or otherwise taken. With their apparent influence with the WG, it's easy to suppose that those marriages are to important figures in the World Government, Yonkou, or even possibly the Revolutionaries. In keeping with the complexity of the New World, I'm willing to bet that we'll see representatives of two or more other factions at the Tea Party or wedding.
It seems to me like far too many people are thinking "rescue Sanji" means kidnap him or steal him back. That's an awful idea, because there's no way to ensure that Big Mom doesn't go after some of Sanji's loved ones in retaliation. What needs to happen instead is that Luffy needs to convince either Papa Vinsmoke or Big Mom that the wedding is no longer in their best interest. "Ruin the wedding" works better if he can eliminate the reason for the wedding in the first place rather than just abscond with the groom. Luffy likely hasn't thought this through yet, so I'm going to predict that he'll manage to secretly contact Sanji and ask him to leave. Sanji will point out that he can't leave while his friends are still at risk but will agree to help cancel the wedding. The one caveat is that Big Mom can't have a reason to blame the Strawhats for canceling the wedding; she will have to either decide to call it off of her own accord or be placated in some other way.
As for the delegation sent to interfere with the wedding, the Strawhats would be crazy to let Luffy go on a delicate mission like this by himself. Either Nami or Brook will accompany him and Pekoms; of the two, Brook seems more likely since he seems to have some knowledge of or history with the Vinsmokes. Also Carrot will go, because Carrot. That means the eventual Big Mom-side team will probably be Luffy, Sanji, Brook, Pekoms, Carrot, and probably Jinbe plus maybe another unexpected ally.
And Caesar! :ninja:
I'm all for Luffy, Brooke, and Carrot crashing a wedding.
So much yes. I dont know why but I just want to see those three and only those together. Maybe Franky as well.
I'm calling it now. Brook has a grudge against Sanji's dad and he will fight him 1v1 at some point. Boy would that be awesome…
Sorry, buddy! I take back what I said about the 'bad example' that such act sets. I tried to strike through that text, but I don't have that option.
I would really like those two around. They make the story line a lot more interesting. Momo leaning against Nami's breast, while Sanji, Brook, and Kinemon are frustrated. Those moments are funny. I also like his dragon form and the extremely formal way with which he talks. I find myself having a lot of fun when I am reading things relevant to them. Even last chapter when Kinemon was reacting the the rumours that Kyros had spread entertained me. I also like the eyeliner he puts around his eyes, the ways he uses his eyebrows, the way he dresses, and his perverted side towards women. There isn't a side of him that I complain about. I am wholeheartedly with the idea of joining the crew; however, when starring reality in the face, I find myself crushed by the feeling that he won't join.
Everyone around the Straw Hats have a dream, but I didn't see any from Kinemon. We could say that ‘freeing’ his country from the control of Kaido is his dream, but once that’s done, what else would motivate him to be with the Straw Hats in their journey to reach Raftel? For the moment, I can’t find anything.
Usopp's past (about his father leaving him behind) serves to teach children to not give up and become strong, even if they don't have their fathers or/and mothers around, but I don't think that the same setting will be repeated because it has already accomplished its purpose (of teaching children…) through Usopp's past. :sad:
My friend, dreams come and go. Kin'emon could pull a "Well, now that you mention it, I always wanted to…" when the right time comes a.k.a at Wano kingdom or something like that ^^.
I love Kinemon, too. He is one of my most favourite characters in One Piece. I would have liked him to be one of the Straw Hats, if it hadn’t been for the fact that he is a ‘father'. It sets influentially a ‘bad example’ about how ‘parenting’ should be. Imagine a father leaving his 8-year-old son behind and going on an adventure. That is wrong on many levels. However, I believe he will be with us, at least, during two arcs(if not more): Zou and Wa no Kuni.:happy: So that should compensate.
Momonosuke for cabin boy! Maybe something like "I am a man now I am an adult i need no father to take care of me" or something will happen that will make momonosuke not be a reason to not join straw hats :P.
Well, I wanted to share my thoughts about Rebecca. Rebecca’s life turned upside down at the age of six. From then on, every citizen at every nook and cranny in Dressrosa has begun bearing his fangs at her because of the misguided notion that her grandfather was the cause of their suffering and casualties ‘that night’.
Normally, when a person finds herself in that kind of situation, she will eventually develop retaliative behavior in order to vent her exasperation, frustration, and so forth. However, Rebecca is different in this aspect. She is a naturally kind person and, on top of that, she made a promise to her deceased mother to never ever harm anyone. Being faithful to her mother’s wishes and her kind nature, she vents those poisonous emotions through crying.
In this week’s chapter, she has abdicated the kingly throne, which is notably enviable by a profusion of people; embraced her father’s past crimes and sins without a second thought; and decided to live with him regardless of public opinion. She really has a beautifully tender nature. No wonder Oda-sensei made her story a central focus of this arc.
I want to talk about Barto. Barto has a lot of cool, funny reactions, which appeal a lot to the readers - reactions among which is the distorted vision of Tsuru and Sengoku, and the teary fright that surfaced at the sight of Fujitora’s coming. He will make a decent addition to Luffy‘s crew. He has a lot of funny, behavioral traits, too – just what you would expect from another Straw Hat.
I would like to see his faith in Luffy challenged when Luffy starts experiencing ephemeral moments of defeat at the hands of an overwhelmingly strong opponent(Kaido?). I want to see the depth of such faith. Will it waver, or will it stand firm until the end? I am really curious about this answer.
Bellamy goes without saying. I love that guy. He was loyal until the end. He reminds me of Squardo, whose faith in his father easily crumbled when the marines hoodwinked him by an intellectual sleight of hand, causing him to stab him(Whitebeard). In such cases, Bellamy’s faith does not waver. I like people like him.
Furthermore, his membership of the Straw Hats will also symbolize the absolution of past mistakes. For such reasons, I will be glad to see him as one of the Straw Hats.
What about Kin'emon? :P I know I know, not another swordsman right? But look at this this will blow your mind:
Wind - Three swords - Zoro
Ice - One sword - Brook
Fire - Two swords - Kin'emon
@Bartholemew:
Yeah, a good chapter overall. I almost cried a little bit at the end.
However, I just want to slap every non-named character this chapter. Seriously, these Dressrosians… And the Marines aren't better as well due to their sheer incompetence. So, there's a pirate with DF powers granting him immunity to bullets holding a person without these powers whom you actually want to save - and they are moving fast. Really a good idea to shoot...
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
And why does that woman wear the same dress as Sugar?
So knowing that, Fujitora used gravity on the soldiers so that they would hold their fire and not shoot Rebecca. The only explanation you could pull out of this chapter without further knowledge.
