Luffy just got babyshaked!!!

Kaido gets one shot by an Elephant Gun? Big Mom Pirates>>>

Some of you guys don't seem to get that Kaido isn't here for your narrative arc. He's reacting realistically.
He got word that Luffy is in Wano. Luffy who he knows is trying to undermine and dethrone him. And his very presence in Kaido's country is causing the likes of Big Mom to pay a visit.

And instead of sitting on his ass while events unfold; Kaido, being the strongest living creature, flies out to Luffy's last known location to solve all his problems.
Why? Because that's Logically how Kaido would respond it's not like he has anything better to do. Wouldn't it be a tad out of character/unrealistic for a guy so frustrated with Luffy and company playing these little pirate games to just sit back and let him do what he wants in his territory.

Am I the only one who felt like they were reading some sort of Parody chapter at the end??

As I slowly realized exactly what I was seeing on the last page I dropped my phone and couldn't do anything but laugh to myself and ask "What?" over and over.

Well it's been 20 long years of greatness but it looks like the journey of the Strawhats has come to an end.
I'm looking forward to seeing the epilogue chapter in the next two weeks.

After looking at this Chapter again I really like Snakemans redirectional offense. The quick lock-on style all the punches have reminds me of Darkseid and his Omega Beams and Luffy even picks up some of the over confidence such a villainous attack would entail. He kept telling Katakuri it was no use trying to avoid his attacks.

I can really appreciate the strategy behind Luffy making Katakuri jump through extra hoops to avoid getting hit by the Pythons against a lesser opponent I'd imagine a technique that just leads to a stronger faster follow up attack if it misses would seem unstoppable.
I feel like it's lost on people just how OP this is; it's like playing a fighting game and whenever your opponent whiffs their attack they are rewarded with a faster stronger attack and if they whiff THAT attack then they're rewarded… etc. It's a great way for Luffy to force Katakuri to stop dodging like he likes to do so much and either block or counter attack before the pythons can pick up speed.
This makes Kata look all the stronger for adapting so quickly but he's still forced to take a lot more hits than he usually has any business to.
It's good too see Luffy fighting smarter not harder although he seems frustrated that Katakuri didn't just rollover and die to his initial barrage of jet culverin.

I guess we'll find out in 2 weeks how far Katakuri's ingenuity will take him.

@Sereques:

I miss those glory days. My favorite is Kaido hiding with Block D fighters as meadows.

I mean don't you think it's a little odd that Meadows is one of the few Gladiators that didn't join the Grand Fleet?? :ninja:

Gotta love Katakuri channeling his inner Nosferatu Zodd

Epic Chapter

This Translation was just bad enough to be comical cracked up a bit at the WTF's and STFU's.
About this last few pages are we sure Luffy was distracted it looked to me like Luffy sensed the oncoming pain from Katakuri's next attack and tried to avoid the future where he gets hit by it.
I'll have to reread when a better scan drops though.

Boy that chapter is sure taking it's sweet time to show up…
