About Luffy's fist going through Kaido's face:

I think people misunderstand what's happening here. Luffy doesn's punch through Kaido, but he punches so hard that Kaido's face stretches along with the fist (which can happen because of Awakening I presume)
The same happens with Kaido's eyes; Luffy doesnt go through his eyes, but he stretches them over his hand like a rubber glove (again, though being Awakened I guess). I think it's hard to see because of the black/white nature of manga.

(I could be wrong of course, but this seems like the most logical explanation)

Edit: The some logic applies when Luffy uses his Gum Gum Balloon inside of Kaido. Kaido himself is even surprised by this and states: "Curses!! What's wrong with me?! My body isn't made of rubber!!"

The thing about colour spreads that makes them so fun to me is the fact they show us the much needed interaction between the Strawhats. The manga itself has these moments too of course, but it's mostly at the beginning of an arc when the stakes aren't that high yet and we see the crew exploring new islands. Even though these spreads are "non-canon" they show us these brightly coloured personalities interacting with eachother in wacky situations. It makes them feel like a very close family and they really add something as One Piece as a whole.

Oh lol, sorry for the dumb question. I must admit I barely look at people's name here, but I think that's kinda obvious now. Thanks anyway

So I guess the picture is not official, and this Solid person is just a meme?

Bit out of the loop; who is Solid?

Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Joy Boy :ninja:

@OldSnake:

Random thought after a reread. I'm currently in Enis Lobby. Is Monster Point of Chopper the hito hito fruits awakend form? Was Chopper the very first awakend ability shown in the series?

Many fans have speculated that Crocodile's fruit was already awakened during the Alabasta arc.

@Robby:

They met Laboon and were told the story of the Rumba pirates way early on, and Luffy wanted a musician from he start.

Brook specifically wasn't teased in advance, but the setup for his backstory was, so it hit hard when we finally met him.

Don't wanna derail the thread too much, but I think Brook was supposed to be Yorki in the chapter where we see them meeting Crocus. When we look at the concept art of Brook he was originally going to wear the cowboy hat, and I think Oda made up Yorki when he settled down on Brooks current design. So in a way, he did try to specifically tease Brook in advance. At least, when I'm right that Yorki was a last minute addition.

For comparison:

Cool chapter! Killer surely delivered during the Wano Arc. Excited to see more from his captain.

A thing I didn’t think of untill now; we (probably) wil never see young Momo’s hybrid Zoan form.
