I guess there is "honor among pirates" in that Big Mom isn't willing to attack Luffy to disrubt his Gatling barrage. I like how we get confirmation of a bunch of key points: Big Mom only cares about her revenge on Luffy in the short term, Kaidou has wind related "natural disasters", Enma either has a unique haki/enhances the user's haki, Orochi is definitely dead, CP0 is still around, updates on the numbers of allies/opponents, and current match ups of executives. I guess it doesn't matter since we have confirmation of a power up for everyone (Luffy's is best explained) but it is clear that the damage is minor and the Yonkou both immediately recover. Thankfully, both Kaidou and Big Mom's attacks are "warm up" attacks too, so everyone is recovering quickly too. Typical shounen action where everyone has to warm up, but it builds the anticipation...and especially when cliffhangers are done correctly! BUT WE ARE ABOUT TO SEE A SERIOUS KAIDOU!!! Big Mom is riding Zues, so Kaidou is BIG! This finally matches the normal mechanics of zoans, so I'm super hyped about chapter 1004. I don't even care about the break. Oda can take two weeks to plan and I wouldn't care.

I honestly still don’t see how this fight is gonna go, or end. The only ones that seem capable of doing any real damage are Luffy and Zorro, maybe Laws gamma knife as well, since it continues to destroy the organs from the inside. But there is the change that kaido also has some kinda of healing power. Not like the Marco, just better than other people and Zoans. Luffy is already out of Gear 4(Haki). I don’t know what his plan was. While i love Gear 4 its drawbacks are just huge. Sure it does but him on a Yonkou/Admiral level. But only for a short time. He needs something that puts him on the same level, but for a long time or something that makes him outclass them so much he can defeat them in that time frame. I mean fight on this level can go on for days. Akainu vs Aokiji 10 days Ace vs Jinbe 5 days Roger pirates vs WB pirate 4 days and they didn’t finish Atleast i do think, he is capable of damaging big mom a lot more than Kaido. Or put in other words Kaido is even tougher than Big Mom. In the last chapter after Big Mom attacked Zorro, Luffy went after her and was only stopped by Kaido. She looked quite scared of him in that moment. Although she didn’t care for him in Hole cake Island. And in this chapter, when she saw his barrage on Kaido she looked stunt to. She seems to judge better than Kaido. As she advised him to dodge Zorros attack in the last chapter. I also don’t think this is gonna be a fight where the 5 vs 2. In time it will morph in Luffy vs Kaido. Just like with Doffy. Maybe Kid and Law will take Big Mom. Zorro vs King and Sanji vs queen. But Luffy needs some power up. Oda did tease in the last SBS gear 5 and hopefully the awakening of his DP will happen. Otherwise i don’t see how he will win.

I enjoyed this chapter. Though I really need to reread it on my computer because there was too much to see on this tiny screen. That was Kid asking after Luffy, right? Seems as if he does care what a tsundere. Zoro versus Kaido in weather/dragon attacks? Yes please. That interplay was fun. What’s up with just hinting at the hybrid form? So annoying lol. Just show me already. Patience is not a virtue that I possess. I mean, I’ll wait but I don’t have to like it. *pout*

I completely forgot that CP0 were on Wano, lol. Is there a chance of some kind of twist ending where they actively get involved, then? Now Kaido is in hybrid mode I’m expecting the Supernovas to get overwhelmed, at least until Luffy is back on his feet. However at this point, anything could happen. I’m excited to see how the fight plays out!

stormchaser

I wanna see that gyoarakaidos form! : Ha, funny how he said you challenging me with tornadoos. So both of them are natural disasters. CP0, forgot about them too. I wonder how and when they will make a move. Awsome chapter

goldenvenus

Well, we obviously know Kaido wouldn't go down from just that. He is, after all, the strongest creature with decades of battle experience. But Oda did mention he found a plausible way for Luffy to defeat Kaido, and he teased about Gear 5 too. I still have the assumption that Luffy is gonna get his devil fruit awakening at some point. Perhaps Luffy will get an awakening or at least gear 5 after the tragedy strikes? Also, Luffy getting swallowed by Kaido and Zoro yelling 'don't you dare go eating our captain' is hilarious and also made me go 'awww' : > Orochi is definitely dead, Okay so this is a reach and I guess I'm just paranoid lmao, but do you think Yamata no Orochi's tale will play a role here? About the part where Susanoo discovered the legendary katana in its flesh.

Holy shit I forgot about CP0! Nd the flight's heating up too!> Okay so this is a reach and I guess I'm just paranoid lmao, but do you think Yamata no Orochi's tale will play a role here? About the part where Susanoo discovered the legendary katana in its flesh. Yeah I really hope the Tasouken Kusanagi plays into this somehow!

The list of fight durations is probably a key aspect for Luffy to make the final jump. Hopefully Gear Fifth or his Gomu Gomu awakening is enough of a power up to get Luffy over this last hurdle. > I enjoyed this chapter.

Patience is not a virtue that I possess. I mean, I’ll wait but I don’t have to like it. *pout* If you are referring to the person that is talking about Luffy early on (the page after Big Mom tries to cut him with a fire slash), it is Big Mom telling them to let her cut Luffy in half (Kid and Killer are in the foreground and Big Mom is behind Kid (the speech bubble points towards her but is in Kid's direction too). Hahaha...I think all of us want to see how much of a power-up this hybrid form is. And if it is just equal to the average zoan...then the protagonists are well, no need to state it. Best part is that we aren't getting the normal jumping around so it's pretty much a guarantee we get it in two weeks when chapter 1004 gets released. > I completely forgot that CP0 were on Wano, lol. Is there a chance of some kind of twist ending where they actively get involved, then? Now Kaido is in hybrid mode I’m expecting the Supernovas to get overwhelmed, at least until Luffy is back on his feet. However at this point, anything could happen. I’m excited to see how the fight plays out! Hopefully soon, but probably not for this fight since they are all lounging around. The question is if they can survive the 10 minutes without Luffy. Kaidou is the one fighting more "seriously", so him finally getting serious could go to all hell breaking loose.> I wanna see that gyoarakaidos form! Ha, funny how he said you challenging me with tornadoos. So both of them are natural disasters. Yes, and hopefully the blue color scheme continues to match! This chapter is making me think if Shanks has some sort of natural fire ability too then? Whitebeard had his "natural disaster" through his fruit ability. It would be quite fitting (to me at least) for Shanks, Luffy, Ace, and now Sabo so share the "fire" from their "burning spirits".> But Oda did mention he found a plausible way for Luffy to defeat Kaido, and he teased about Gear 5 too. I still have the assumption that Luffy is gonna get his devil fruit awakening at some point. Perhaps Luffy will get an awakening or at least gear 5 after the tragedy strikes? Was there something other than the SBS question you posted?! I think I have time so I gotta go look that up and probably add it on to our collection tonight.> Also, Luffy getting swallowed by Kaido and Zoro yelling 'don't you dare go eating our captain' is hilarious and also made me go 'awww' Yes! Zoro doesn't show it much, but he definitely cares (and even for Sanji!)> Okay so this is a reach and I guess I'm just paranoid lmao, but do you think Yamata no Orochi's tale will play a role here? About the part where Susanoo discovered the legendary katana in its flesh. My personal bias is yes (it is a reach) in that Oda doesn't use many "details" of a reference/inspiration. There can be key points that are used/incorporated into the plot, but Oda likes to make it his own and thus minimizes the overlap. I think there suddenly becomes too much overlap with Enma and now a second magical/super powerful sword. Maybe there were some fans in Japan thinking Orochi was still alive, so Oda had to confirm it to keep the plot connected for them. > Holy shit I forgot about CP0! Nd the flight's heating up too! I think Oda purposefully implied that the CP0 head was travelling back and forth to visit Orochi periodically based on their "negotiation". We are getting the confirmation that they were staying around (likely because of the Fire Festival). This fight definitely looks like it's going to hit the climax so chapter 1004 should bring a ton of action (if not more than the recent chapters).

> Was there something other than the SBS question you posted?! I think I have time so I gotta go look that up and probably add it on to our collection tonight. Oh in the SBS there's only the tease about gear 5. But like years ago I heard that Oda mentioned he found a plausible way for Luffy to defeat Kaido? Since people were skeptical about how Luffy was going to face Kaido with the power gap between them. But well I don't know the source so I'm not entirely sure if it's 100% legit. > My personal bias is yes (it is a reach) in that Oda doesn't use many "details" of a reference/inspiration. There can be key points that are used/incorporated into the plot, but Oda likes to make it his own and thus minimizes the overlap. True, Oda usually just references things and don't take the whole thing. Though in this case I didn't really mean it literally about the whole katana emerging. What I meant to say is if there's a possibility that something related to Orochi might occur in the midst of the battle. But of course, whether there is or there isn't, I'm fine with both.

Generally love the chapter ❤️ Luffy's power though is a bit worrying, though we've always known the Gears have always been like that (Since the fight with Rob Lucci) in a one-on-one fight, it's kinda tricky. Guess its always gonna be Battle royal or quick and intense fight. But in this fight, he does have a lot of support so maybe it will even things out? Hopefully, the other supernovas either buys time or has more to offer. I love that Zoro is here to really be Luffy's right hand (Zoro best boy). It would have been more awesome if Sanji is there as well, maybe later?. (Where the hell is he) Zoro's sword and himself is proving to be quite formidable though. Is it something to do about the curses or reputations of this sword's maker/origins(kinda like the ancient weapons?)? I hope we get a technical explanation of this. (Or if there is already one, let me know). Or maybe, possession or lingering power from previous owners? Oden is here then xD Totally forgot about CP0 as well. Remind me, at what point did they come in? But the stats they mentioned is a bit worrying. Pirate-samurai-ninja alliance are looking haggard while Kaido's team has still a lot to offer. Do we have any other back up coming? More samurais? More minks? Kinda far fetch, but. Revolutionary army? Straw hat pirate alliance? Probably not likely but will definitely be awesome xD but the RA though, wonder if its possible coz they were tracking the weapons source before right?it kinda leads to wano/kaido. But they are kinda indisposed. Anyways, the alliance looks worn out (atleast Luffy is) but it seems they can still offer more.

stormchaser

seiryu Yeah, Shanks having something like that would be cool.

> Remind me, at what point did they come in? They were shown when we first got introduced to Orochi, making weapons deals with him.

Since people were skeptical about how Luffy was going to face Kaido with the power gap between them. But well I don't know the source so I'm not entirely sure if it's 100% legit. Ah thanks. If we are referring to the same interviews (it came up at least twice in different interviews), it was Oda saying he could not find a rationale way for Luffy to beat Kaidou (and this is with the original plan of power ups/allies). Level 2 haki appears to be a bigger power up/emphasis than before, but there's still a potentially huge gap that maintains this "impossible feat" if Kaidou wipes the floor with them with zero effort.> True, Oda usually just references things and don't take the whole thing. Though in this case I didn't really mean it literally about the whole katana emerging. What I meant to say is if there's a possibility that something related to Orochi might occur in the midst of the battle. But of course, whether there is or there isn't, I'm fine with both. If Oda finds a way to get Luffy to legitimately use it (like Nightmare Luffy using a sword legitimately), I would 100% support it too. > It would have been more awesome if Sanji is there as well, maybe later?. (Where the hell is he) This isn't the actual climax fight, so Sanji will be around for when the real fights go down. Right now he is still working his way up after getting out of the web from Black Maria.> Zoro's sword and himself is proving to be quite formidable though. Is it something to do about the curses or reputations of this sword's maker/origins(kinda like the ancient weapons?)? I hope we get a technical explanation of this. (Or if there is already one, let me know). Or maybe, possession or lingering power from previous owners? Oden is here then xD We never get any clear answer, but the instances for all cursed swords show that Zoro's "will" is strong enough to either completely or sufficiently overpower the demon/curse. Probably no need for anything too technical because it is just a battle of control, which is why Oda shows Zoro partially struggling while releasing the new Enma attack. As for the power up aspect: right now it looks like it is only Enma. We see that there is a different color to Enma's haki. Oh, so the positive is that the majority of the attack is still Zoro (for the upgraded Tastumaki attack). The anime will have to show us if there are two different haki for the big Enma attack. Since the tatsumaki attack doesn't make Big Mom worry, this makes me think it is Enma that is the major part of the power up (vs. something from Oden since Kaidou confirms the extra sting is not unique to Oden and is the same with Zoro using Enma).> Pirate-samurai-ninja alliance are looking haggard while Kaido's team has still a lot to offer. Do we have any other back up coming? More samurais? More minks? Kinda far fetch, but. Revolutionary army? Straw hat pirate alliance?

But they are kinda indisposed. Anyways, the alliance looks worn out (atleast Luffy is) but it seems they can still offer more. Yup. The alliance is unlikely since they all have their own individual adventures they have to go through to power up and become strong enough to be "world changing" on their own. The RA are the most likely allies since Koala's research is Kaidou's weaponry production. Either way, the real tragedy has to lead to a twist and likely multiple power ups/support. > Yeah, Shanks having something like that would be cool. Hopefully so! Kinda strange that the war against Shanks isn't that far off now...

I’m a little confused. A lot of you talk about a break this week. But at the end of chapter, it said "no break next week". Did I miss something?

seiryu

> I’m a little confused. A lot of you talk about a break this week. But at the end of chapter, it said "no break next week". Did I miss something? Ah, I was jumping ahead a week. Oda has a break the week of February 19th. So we have the two week break after chapter 1004 (not after this chapter).

I'm infinitely interested in what will happen with CP0 in this arc. Theoretically they'll make a move against the depleted winner.

Do my eyes deceive me, or did it say that the next chapter is in just 2 days?! :
