    Shit ton going on in this chapter.

     

      Hide contents

    Sanji with the clear MVP move this chapter, and gave Zoro a pathway back into the fight as well.

    Luffy with the Voice

    Nami with a likely big power-up

    RIP Kinemon

     

    Spoiler

    Damn Oda made Kine'mon's death definitive now, R.I.P. to a real G. Foxfire.  *pours sake*

     

    I had a feeling Luffy would be rescued by Law's sub, but I had hoped it would be Seakings making a surprise appearance. Still cool either way. It's nice to see that Sanji is taking on a guy with a higher bounty and strength than Jack. I'm curious to see what an all-out Sanji looks like at this stage.

     

    Luffy's Voice of All Things can now communicate with others, the way it works seems so dubious I'm still trying to make sense of it as it's apparently distinct from Observation Haki.

     

    Unrelated to this chapter I had a revelation the other day while reading up on Norse mythology. I read about the god Tyr, who lost his arm (to Fenrir), and is the Norse god of justice, war and a guarantor of good faith. Amongst the Vikings he was evoked when making deals and treaties to show said good faith.

     

    In addition to pirate history, Oda is a big fan of Norse mythology due to growing up being inspired by a Viking cartoon growing up. As we've seen with Shanks— he lost an arm, and seems to be always taking a more diplomatic approach with his enemies, to the point where even the very Gorosei weren't worried bringing him amongst them. I'm getting the strong impression Oda loosely based Shanks off Tyr and his presence in the story is meant to mirror his fate.

     

    I get the feeling that Shanks ascent to Yonko-dom was based on an oath rather than a desire for power, one he took so seriously (likely after the reveal of "Laugh's Tale"/ One Piece) that made his goal after Roger's death to  usher in the New Age that will fulfill the "Will of D". 

     

    I guess I should also note that in the end of Tyr's story he loses his life slaying a hellhound in battle during Ragnarok. Hmm...

    After years of being called the Jobber Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates my dude Marco finally gets some serious shine! Dude out here performing some very advanced-looking techniques while styling on 2 Yonko commanders. 

     

     

    So some interesting things I've noticed these last 2 chapters...

     

    1. Sanji being unable to use armament haki to preotect himself from Black Maria's blows since haki is literally willpower he can't "will" himself to use it. Personally, I think Sanji's backwards chivalry is nonsensical but I've accepted it over the year. And just so you guys know from a cultural angle, many Japanese women find Sanji's whole schtick of being a gentleman chef attractive so I guess it has its specific cultural appeal.

     

    2. Hyogoro accessing his younger, stronger form through the virus putting him through the wringer seems to be continuing theme with. Doflamingo crewmember Lao G was also able to access his full youthful power using his Jio-ken style.

     

    3. It seems there's a limit to Marco's regenerative abilities since he's showing signs of bleeding and fatigue. I wonder if this Devil Fruit also has that unique side effect of draining the user's life force if used too much a la Law's Ope Ope no mi?

     

    4. Black Maria's devil fruit is unusual, and it's interesting that she can sprout webbing from her fingers. Hm... I wonder if the spider is actually the true "Black Maria" and the female body is simply and attractive marionette to deceive enemies?

     

    5. The animal/ tech? surveillance network that is being used is quite useful. One of the Strawhats like Stealth Black Sanji or Franky needs to deal with it. I can't tell if it's Queen's work or a DF ability yet...

    @*.:White ShadoW:.*you better be here for ch 1000 bruv! it's only proper.

    Oh I'm here bro, I wouldn't miss this for the world!

    GOMU GOMU NO!!!...  RED FUCKIN' ROCK!!!

     

    Feel that shit Kaido! That panel with all the Supernova awaiting the final confrontation with the 2 Yonko of what will be a bygone era. The moment I saw Luffy use that technique I pretty much saw the foreshadowing of Blackbeard's defeat. Ryuou haki.

     

    On a lesser note, it seems that Queen is on that Go-Go-Gadget ish; he's not only a Zoan but a full cyborg at this point.

     

    Oh My GODA can you imagine how much shit will hit the fan when the newspapers drop and shows that 2 Yonko were defeated with Kaido felling from Monkey D. Luffy's hand! The Gorosei/ Im are going to be shook!

    Thank you Eiichiro Oda for this epic series. All these hundreds of characters, hundreds of colorwalks, tens of thousands of panels, and countless unforgettable moments. I don't know how much of this story is left, but I'm planning on rolling with it 'til the end.

    That Zoro Panel...that is all I have to say for now...

    The best part about that moment was that it was a nameless Shishi Sonson. He didn't need to invoke it, the same way Mihawk doesn't say any named attacks. Also if you notice in the panels, he was observing the situation while casually avoiding one of the ice zombies in just 2 panels. That scene reminded me of Rayleigh at the slave auction. Also, it's obvious that the fake Conquerors Haki moment is just foreshadowing that Zoro will probably display a true version soon.

     

    What a display of power by Kaido. This further reinforces my belief that Kaido's natural state is his dragon form and he's actually a "living" Devil Fruit possessing someone or something. 

    *poneglyph*

     

     

    Oh and glad to be back!

    White Shadow,

     

    It was an Instagram clip of a girl dancing then "sharting" and running to the bathroom while her bf plays video games 

    Ah I saw that one on discord, hi-larious. 

     

    I was watching a YouTube vid about superheroes who hold back their powers, but I was surprisingly distracted by this svelte geeky girl hosting:

     

     

    Her name is Sasha Wood and while she's "unconventional"  there's something about her that I really like.  

     

    @MillionX Your thoughts?

    What was here?

     

     

     

    In some hilariously good news Gilette lost  a staggering 8 billion dollars in revenue due to their "toxic masculinity" ad campaign.  It's a shame that the parent company Proctor & Gamble makes practically every household product you can think of, but regardless it's still nice to see how men voted with their wallet.

    @*.:White ShadoW:.*  Finally got around to watching that vid.  Yeah short people get a ton of shit, but I didn't think it was THAT bad.  It does go with what I've said when I hear women saying,"Where have all the good men gone?"  They're there, you just can't see 'em. 

    The bias is real. Taller men earn more, are perceived to be more intelligent and have easier access to positions of power regardless of their competency. Oh and women prefer tall men without even filtering their disgust when approached by an unsuccessful  short man.

     

    19 out of 44 of the US Presidents were 6ft or taller and even those who shorter were still slightly under 6 feet  and much taller than the average man for their time. Back in the day if you were 5'8" or over you were considered tall, which really puts things in perspective when we visualize how the world looked back then.

     

    For example when 6'2" George Washington was President the average height for a man in the 1700s  was 5'5". So imagine how imposing he looked during that era. 

     

    To put things in even more historical perspective the average height for a man in ancient Greece was 5'3". So basically all those epic battles we fantasized about with Spartans vs Persians etc. were fought by what would be today's middle schoolers. Imagine if we gave The Rock or Shaq a time machine?!🤣

    I was looking up her background and it says she's  been married for 5 years and she's only 26!

     

    Her parents are devout Christians and she met the dude in church. I guess they thought better to smash with the Lord's okay than without lol

     

     

    This reminds me of this pasty, pencil-neck, Xtian white kid I met at church meeting who went to Venezuela  on a mission trip and "converted" and married a girl there that happened to look like a freakin' Miss World contestant. I was floored when she sat next to him.

     

    Like this level of hotness:

     

    a6bdbb3cbadc5b24a19f3b8c3987d80a.jpg

     

    He was extolling the virtues of his expedition to save souls and thanking God for his "blessings" with a shit-eating grin on his face. The mofo looked like a character from The Wild Thornberrys and knew he got her pretty ass locked down with religious guilt x green card combo.
