One Piece Chapter 998: Ancient Types

True xD it was just fun imagining it but I doubt its true or gonna happen. : But wait, ain't Yamato a girl (physically atleast) but identifies as a man? Which I respect. Correct me if I'm wrong.

storm chaser miss_SMP I love flights of fancy. I do them in the chapter thread all the time. I wasn’t complaining about that. Sorry if it came off that way! : I’m just saying that if Yamato is really a trans male, as he seems to be Kaido’s son, and Yamato is a name that can be both but is more commonly male, if I recall correctly; then there’s no way he would be behaving in a way that would emphasize the female parts he was born with because in this society the notion of motherhood is a feminine one. At least that’s my understanding. So the likelihood of a baby is nil. However, we do know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a man having a baby, since we’re aware that there are more that’ll just cis men and there’s nothing inherent in the concept of carrying a baby to term or creating one that would detract from his being a man. So... I guess if Ace and Yamato were boyfriends, there could totally be two daddies and a little baby Ace. (Great, now I wanna see this fan fiction written, can you imagine how powerful that kid would be?! :)

Like Whitebeard was to Ace. I wouldnt mind any of these scenarios. Since I like MarcoxAce this would be fine too. How awsome tough, that they were friends. I really am curious to how they met and the fact, that Ace tried to kill Kaido..?! : Tough, I dont remember all the things that are in OP right now, so please do correct me, if I remember something wrong. This year has been just.. tired, and I had alot of pauses reading the manga. : Hahah lol, made you imagine it :

> Yeah, maby he was someone Jinbei saved? I bet Ace would either say no, or wait for me to her/or someone. Tough not sure I got romantic vibes, but the next chapter should give us a hint, if that is the case. What if Ace had a baby with her? Baby Ace somewhere? Yup, Jinbei is definitely known by almost everyone in the world and he's done a whole lot as a primary ally of Whitebeard, so tons and tons of options for Who's Who. Which adds a great twist to his name (I just realized). I'd definitely take anything on Ace! It was only with Oda's OK, but the Ace novels showed that he at least is highly respective of the female marine's feelings toward him. With the stereotypical shounen hero only caring about love after fulfilling their dreams, part of me likes the idea of Ace's realistic dream being able to find a true family. He knew Whitebeard didn't want to become Pirate King, so I have a hard time thinking this is what he felt the strongest about. So, with the right personality fit...maybe baby Ace is out there?!> Robin? Fights of the geishas? That would be cool. It's Robin's time to shine I sure hope so! You're welcome!> Hey guys, you seem to be getting pretty carried away, which is fun, but isn’t Yamato a boy? So what baby? And it would be Ace’s boyfriend, not girlfriend—which I’m fine with... until we get proof to the contrary, evidence says that he’s Kaido’s son, right? Am I missing something? We don’t know that him being locked up has anything to do with the son stuff. More likely it’s due to the differences in worldview. After all, if Yamato idolized Oden and was friends with Ace, that’s antithetical to what Kaido stands for and desires for Wano and the world. We may well find out that Yamato’s gender identity was forced upon him due to some antiquated notions of inheritance held by Kaido but I honestly find it hard to believe that to be the case considering how strong willed he is showing himself to be. If his father tried to raise him as the wrong gender, I believe it wouldn’t sit right with him (people can tell these things—it’s not a choice) just like his morals didn’t and he would rebel against it. As far as I can tell, it is 50-50. To each their own opinion on which way it goes until Oda gives us an answer (presumably at the end of this arc). Yamato has acknowledged both sides in the recent chapters. And baby making is still baby making. Rather than something forced by Kaidou, context implies a coping mechanisms by a young Yamato that is literally getting the living crap beaten out of her on a regular basis ON TOP of belittling on how weak she is/lack of any care/love. She is simply clinging to the strongest hope of freedom she came across. > I’m hoping that Maria was just drawn incorrectly. ^_^ Yup, hopefully so. Oda's having too much fun with the whacky Gifter designs. Ah, glad the discussion self-resolved, but I'm going to stand by referring to Yamato as male or female being correct.

Fun imagining a lot of things. Hahaha. We have yet to reach the main fights after all. The definite thing is that Ch. 999 and ch. 1000 will be something big.

> Yeah, Ace is polite in that way, and not ignorant. Not sure if Luffy is just immature, or ignorant for feelings. Or maby he just dosent care? Not saying he isint kindhearted, but y'know what I mean. The name Who's Who already kinda give's a mysterious feeling. Maby they are a spy? Rebel spy? OH, imagine Sabo popping up somewhere in Wano. Okay, Im going off track again, but there are so many possibilities. I 100% got ya on Luffy. It's all context. He does give zero cares about certain things. It is usually funny so we completely overlook it most of the time. In the beginning, I think he was ignorant on Boa, but it keeps on happening so now he just ignores her (which makes her want to do it more). Hahaha...poor Kaidou if he's got a bunch of spies that worked up to be Tobi Roppou! I like the idea since the alliance is outgunned and outnumbered. And it is no where near farfetched. All of Koala's recent work is tied to the weapons being created in Wano Kuni. Sabo knows Luffy is not able to take on a Yonkou, so he'd be worried. If Dragon gave the OK, a huge chunk of the RA could suddenly pop up in Wano Kuni. I am the most lenient on "going off topic" because that is Oda's style. We have the Marine/Sword/CP0 side already introduced. Oda kept all his options open because he knew how much of an uphill battle legitimately defeating Kaidou is/will be. It is 100% on topic and there are already direct breadcrumbs to justify. It's 100% fine to "head cannon" and speculate. I used to "rip these sorts of posts apart" in the past, but I can just be supportive instead. It could be something that is guaranteed to never happen (Usopp delivering the final blow to Kaidou to just run with something crazy), but to each their own. As long as it is a tangent from the original topic, I will always support running with the discussion in whatever direction it goes. It literally is just a tangent of the original topic. We're small enough that we don't have to have separate topics for tangents.> Fun imagining a lot of things. Hahaha. We have yet to reach the main fights after all. The definite thing is that Ch. 999 and ch. 1000 will be something big. Yes! Even the crazy stuff is legitimate, and it has to be something crazy to fit what will actually happen. None of us saw Kaidou moving the island or introducing Ace for the twist of chapter 1000.

Mentioning the revolutionary army in here, and the possibility that they might show up makes me think that maybe Ivankov will save Sanji xD that would be super funny. And ofcourse, that would be an update on them since we haven't really heard any news about them, esp Sabo, since the last time.

> True, Luffy is Luffy after all. Lol, Kaidou will be mad if that happens. I find it hard to believe, that there isint any kind of spy in his crew tough, as it is so big. It would be logical with all the weapons actually. Sabo being the best big bro again. I wish they would fight together at some point before Raftel. Good to hear that. I like to think a bit aloof of a chapter, since it has hints to many things. Love that about Oda. We have Drake and potentially Who's Who. 1/3rd of the Tobi Roppou being spies is really big statistically. It DOES fit since they are all former captains with their own agendas. But yup, there's a whole bunch of loose ends to tie up, and it almost forces someone else to join the alliance. I hope so too for Sabo and Luffy tag teaming! After this arc, Luffy should be able to hold his own, so maybe Sabo joins in/randomly is infiltrating at the same time during the save Dr. Vegapunk arc! I'm super biased that it is Vegapunk that is powering up the Marines so that the Shichibukai can be abolished. Stopping them from further powering up is a huge win, so the RA should get involved. As Ace fans chapter 999 is a bit of a letdown relative to chapter 1000, but either way, Oda looks like he has some sort of big twist planned and hopefully it is something no one saw coming!

>This chapter was epic with all those double pages introducing the abilities of the Flying Six! Not to mention they all looked neat af! Jinbe has met Who's Who? Maybe we've seen him too? Very curious, hope we find out >AAAAAAAAAACEEEEEE, I'm so hyped to see Ace again, very interesting that he actually came to Onigashima to beat Kaido. >So we've got: Sasaki vs Franky, Black Maria vs Sanji, Who's Who vs Jinbe, and Page One & Ulti vs Usopp & Nami? I'm not sure about the last one but anyway, they all look incredible. >10/10 as every week, I'm so glad I started One Piece

seiryu

> >AAAAAAAAAACEEEEEE, I'm so hyped to see Ace again, very interesting that he actually came to Onigashima to beat Kaido. Ace got motivated by seeing the citizens starving (specifically Tama => parallels Luffy's motivation and presumably Ace making a similar promise to Tama). His crew rescuing the kids and teens is more fuel for his fire. > >10/10 as every week, I'm so glad I started One Piece Yup, the recent chapters (and even the build up for me) has been excellent! Hopefully chapter 1000 lives up!
