The pessimist in me says Momo will do something perverted and make Yamato off guard at the worst possible moment...Hopefully the targeting of the potential cyborg/person controlling the other cyborgs says something so that Momo knows he has been located by the enemies. I guess it doesn't matter which way Sanji goes if the 10th person helping the Scabbards is Toki. There will be a "pretty lady" on both sides. Since Robin is handling Black Maria, context implies he is heading to Yamato's side. Damn...I was really hoping for Perospero to go down. Plus, it's concerning that he doesn't have any new wounds. Wait, he had scratches on his face, so maybe the wound on his head is new, but he doesn't look like he used most of his awakening energy either. Back to this in a little bit because I think most fans are underrating how pivotal this chapter is. Great to see Carrot driven and resistant to the very end. But where's Wanda other than that first panel? I guess Perospero took out the stronger opponent first and Wanda is completely out cold. I'm glad Oda is able to show us Hyou-jiji's real strength. With the altered timeline of Kaidou's awakening (which he might not have with the changes), Kaidou might have gone down to a combination of Hyou-jiji and Oden in their primes (I have to think SMILE has a negative effect, even if small on combat at the highest levels). Hyou-jiji is taking out Oniwaban members like minions, so he is similar to Oden's level in his prime. Plus we get Queen to confirm this too. I'm curious to see if this Blue Bird attack is just a phoenix ability or an awakening related attack. It looks like he is creating "new phoenix energy" from the lone feather which implies awakening. This explains the relatively large damage to King. I REALLY hope Chopper's shock is the completion and not the goat doc telling him there is a problem...I really don't want to see Hyou-jiji die. Beheading is after seppuku and is a dishonorable death. He is content with it, but is unbefitting of how important he is to the plot (teaching Luffy level two haki). But the plot context I think most people will miss is that Oda is starting the **** hit the fan/everything snowballing out of control. IF Chopper is not ready, Queen's chemical warfare is going to turn the tides to a complete victory in the hall. Hyou-jiji's death signifies how much of a loss this battle is. Marco is already struggling and is legitimately running out of awakening/fruit/stamina energy if he continues this fight (he looks moderately low now). What might be overlooked too is Perospero immediately becoming an enemy. Perospero confirms that putting Luffy in his place is his top priority over breaking up the alliance (the only reason to ally with Marco). Marco CANNOT take on all three of them, and especially with a sneak attack. Marco is going to lose if he gets immobilized by haki infused candy since Queen and King will launch a big attack once they get the chance (since they took many from Marco with their awakening durability being why they seem OK). Maybe a better way to explain it is that this is only a minor set up fight. None of the climax fights are set up in the main hall. If Hyou-jiji is magically taken out of the plot, Luffy loses every single climax fight for the rest of the series (level 2 haki is still a "basic technique" so all the advanced haki is harder or potentially stems from these basics). A character critical to the plot succeeding is dying a dishonorable death. It isn't to save the crew/Luffy. It is to just fight off Ice Demon. Man...it does fit Oda to make a good example to show what "Yonkou level" really is, but damn...the anime makes Hyou-jiji much more likable. Unless there is a huge twist on Chopper's end...things are looking very bad...We need to switch back to Robin and have her win.

Oooh. I do hope Chopper is done with the antidote, I think he is. 🤞 Marco is holding on well, but his more of keeping them occupied rather than defeating them. Still, prettt great feat. But thinking about it once the antidote is done, will Chopper have to fight the Queen or the other one(forgot his name). Either way, its dire on the ground floor. Wonder where Sanji decided to go, bet its to Kinemon and the rests' side. He is needer there more. Who would hold off Perospero? Marco is currently occupied, but I think his going to Marco. Is Chopper the only one left on the ground from SHP? Franky is busy. If only the moon shows up, maybe Carrot and Wanda followed suit? Or other minks? Would it be a while before Kaido reveal? XD

So I don’t have as much to say with this chapter as I did with last chapter, but that’s not to say it’s not a solid chapter. Sanji is most likely heading to Momo and Yamato I think - I don’t think Oda throws that scene in there for him to NOT change his mind about where he’s going. The real question is what will happen when they meet? Obviously Sanji’s first reaction is “pretty lady”, but Yamato has been referred to with male identifiers (young master/Kaido’s son) throughout, so HOPEFULLY this is touched upon if and when they meet. Marco still being able to hold off both King AND Queen is extremely impressive. He is beginning to tire, and we see that his flames are only effective provided the people he’s using them on still have stamina. Could we see him tag out and focus solely on Perospero? If only there were two other powerhouses currently unoccupied on the main battlefield... As for the rest of the chapter, hopefully Chopper gets the antidote done in time. He’s made the critical step of working out how to counter the Ice Demon virus, so hopefully he gets to come in clutch now. > I guess it doesn't matter which way Sanji goes if the 10th person helping the Scabbards is Toki. There will be a "pretty lady" on both sides. Since Robin is handling Black Maria, context implies he is heading to Yamato's side. Do you think Toki & the wounded Scabbards can handle Jack? Yes he’s taken a beating, but we’ve seen he’s very durable > But the plot context I think most people will miss is that Oda is starting the **** hit the fan/everything snowballing out of control. IF Chopper is not ready, Queen's chemical warfare is going to turn the tides to a complete victory in the hall. Hyou-jiji's death signifies how much of a loss this battle is.

Yeah I think this either gets COMPLETELY out of hand (“Act 3 Tragedy” theory), or we begin to see the turnaround next chapter. I think some things are perfectly in place for the “final battles” - Black Maria, Who’s Who, Sasaki, the roof battle. Alternatively, things could both go great and terrible at the same time - while things go really well for our side, the consequences begin to get worse and worse for the people of Wano. There’s a lot of possibilities for how this could go > Wonder where Sanji decided to go, bet its to Kinemon and the rests' side. He is needer there more. Who would hold off Perospero?

Or other minks? So one thing I think could happen (not 100% certain on it) is that the mystery person with the Scabbards manages to heal them enough to have them fight Jack, and then Sanji and Yamato take over the King/Queen fight from Marco

> So one thing I think could happen (not 100% certain on it) is that the mystery person with the Scabbards manages to heal them enough to have them fight Jack, and then Sanji and Yamato take over the King/Queen fight from Marco Makes sense. But I don't have much faith on that mystery person, its either a dud, barely helps or big support. XD If he/she does help heal the scabbards, will they fight on the ground to even out the enemies or fight the other stronger enemies? Or are they gonna go up to Kaido again? They would be more effective on the ground but most likely would want to fight Kaido. Or atleast Dog and Cat would fight Jack and the rest somewhere else. And I just had a thought, is Caribou here (in the battle)? Maybe his the mystery person? XD omg, I see this happening but I hope not. Hope its someone else.

XD Hopefully so with Chopper. All of the questions/analysis reflect how much plot development happened and for me, when Oda is on his game, we still progress the plot but we get more questions despite getting quite a bit of answers. At this point, Oda is going to make up for all of the rest of the events on Onigashima before we get back to Kaidou's hybrid form.> Do you think Toki & the wounded Scabbards can handle Jack? Yes he’s taken a beating, but we’ve seen he’s very durable Nope. If there was moonlight, maybe but Jack has the clear advantage with all of them heavy wounded despite their huge numbers advantage. I've always wanted to plot to get to the really juicy stuff, so the real tragedy coming up sooner rather than later is for the better. I'd even take something abstract and partially B.S. like Robin having her awakening so after defeating Black Maria, she can create a bunch of her clones to "sprout" people into safe places for an easy escape. I am super curious to see what the actual means of safe escape is, but the majority of the samurai will become slaves again since there aren't boats.> Yeah I think this either gets COMPLETELY out of hand (“Act 3 Tragedy” theory), or we begin to see the turnaround next chapter.

There’s a lot of possibilities for how this could go Endurance is going to play a factor. Most of the strongest allies are already showing they cannot handle a second fight. I'm not talking about it directly, but the alliance is outgunned and outnumbered. Unless Chopper can reverse Ice Demon so it gets used on the 100 Beast execs/Numbers/Flying Six (or something similar to reverse the severe disadvantages), only a few of these current fights are likely victories. I don't think anyone legitimately thinks Luffy with his currently level of displayed combat capabilities can take down Kaidou or Big Mom (just one Yonkou). > If he/she does help heal the scabbards, will they fight on the ground to even out the enemies or fight the other stronger enemies?

And I just had a thought, is Caribou here (in the battle)? Maybe his the mystery person? XD omg, I see this happening but I hope not. Hope its someone else. Kinemon had his "I trust everything to you, Luffy" moment, so I have a hard time thinking they go back to face Kaidou again. The unlikely aspect/harsh reality is that we need a top tier healing fruit ability. Most abilities are only temporary (even Marco's healing flames) or have a setback (Tsuru's ability requires time for people to "dry out" where they are in a vulnerable state presumably). Stopping their potentially fatal bleeding just keeps them alive for the rest of the plot. I'm not sure what I'm rooting for at this point, but I do know I do not want Jack vs. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi round 2. They will lose more than just one limb since Jack wants revenge for getting blasted by Zunisha. Caribou could definitely be a huge help in that he can hide everyone with his fruit ability. He has not been shown since Udon, so maybe he is at least part of one of the likely multiple twists that have to occur.

So.... this chapter has set up a lot of things, in my opinion. We’ve go the potential to see just how much Sanji has really grown because it looks like he is about to meet Yamato for the first time and we will see how both he and Oda handle that situation. That will be a serious test. Beyond that, Carrot was defeated but I don’t know that she’s down for good. The way that the Pedro speech was played made it seem like she’s going to find a way to get back into the fight somehow. Hyo-jiji showed his strength but also left us with an impending sense of doom at the end. I think that this is going to be overcome by Chopper’s cure, hopefully because Marco has alluded to the fact that he needs him to be ready and he was referred to entirely too many times in this chapter as being the lynch pin for him to fail everyone now. I think he’s going to come through right when he’s needed as that’s what he does and who he is. The fact that the Phoenix flames were sapping energy from the beast pirates let’s me think that Marco specifically caused them to do so. Was he feeding himself that energy? Did he control how much it took? Did he stop the widespread flames after the larger attack due to fatigue? I’m going with yes to the latter but also preparation for delivery of the antidote. They will probably work together to mass distribute it through his flames. Like a special version of a flame reaction test where the fire is medicinal. Through his haki, he could possibly sense the presence of Perospero and/or check the progress of the medicine. I’m not sure how good his kenbunshoku is... but he’s not a noob, that’s for sure. Anyways, these were just my thoughts as I couldn’t sleep and finally read the chapter. ^_^

> Nope. If there was moonlight, maybe but Jack has the clear advantage with all of them heavy wounded despite their huge numbers advantage. I've always wanted to plot to get to the really juicy stuff, so the real tragedy coming up sooner rather than later is for the better. Agreed. The lack of moon is a big factor - and even if there was moonlight, can the Minks handle a second Sulong transformation? It's very draining. > Most of the strongest allies are already showing they cannot handle a second fight. I'm not talking about it directly, but the alliance is outgunned and outnumbered. 100% - I think there's going to have to be a decision between saving the people of Wano or taking down the Yonko towards the end of the battle. Onigashima is on its way to squish the people of the flower capital, and there's still no obvious way to stop it... Looking at who's left on the battlefield, the numbers game is probably a lot more out of hand than we realise. We're already starting to see the Alliance tiring and being stretched numbers-wise (Marco having to deal with both King AND Queen is a prime example of this), and we haven't even factored in the possibility that the remaining Big Mom Pirates will show up. That adds another Commander-level fighter (Smoothie), and at least two more fighters at the level of Perospero (Oven/Daifuku). They will have to be dealt with at some point, and as you rightly say there's no way that any of the alliance powerhouses will be able to fight again after their "main" fight. The Alliance need another Drake-style defection to happen. Speaking of Drake, Basil Hawkins has been notably absent so far... > I don't think anyone legitimately thinks Luffy with his currently level of displayed combat capabilities can take down Kaidou or Big Mom (just one Yonkou). The big issue is that Gear 4 still seems to be extremely taxing on his body - he either needs a way to maintain power output that isn't as draining on his Haki resources, or a form that has such a high raw power output that stamina doesn't matter because the fight ends in one "use" of the form. His awakening might allow him to do that, so that's a possibility?

Just got back up to date. And I'm not dissapointed Oda. :

Cover - beautiful cover page and since I don't watch the anime some of the colors surprised me... Ulti is a snack *yum* + Who has the sniper vision spotting Momo? Is that the vision girl? She obviously needs to be taken out at some point (or maybe she's just a plot device to help check in on different areas throughout the arc). + Sanji going to Yamato or Scabbards? Something tells me showing Yamato first and having Sanji be interested in who Yamato is might be a clue. Would love to see his reaction to her... "plot" and Momo's current riding position. + Carrot taking an "L" to Perospero, for now, is a little disappointing but makes sense for now. I assume either the weather will clear up for her to win or Perospero won't be a target soon. More on that later. + I was so excited when I saw prime Hyogoro... thought maybe my fan-theory about Bonney showing up and de-aging him to his prime might have happened. His death flags are waving hard and obviously... usually that means he'll end up being just fine. + Drake vs Apoo? Still feels like at some point Apoo has to flip sides... right? + Surprised the Oniwabanshu and Mimawarigumi haven't flipped sides yet. Felt like they weren't too pleased with Kaido's plan and where things were going. The keyword may be "yet" so we'll see. + Marco is a BEAST to state the obvious. Tossing around King & Queen while defending the samurai and healing numerous people all at once. Have we seen his talons before? Maybe I'm a bad fan with a bad memory but I don't recall them; does he have a hybrid form we haven't seen before? + Some thought Perospero might sweep in and get Marco while he's exhausted. I don't know. Seems like at some point or another Marco's decision to go get Perospero from the sea will pay dividends for the Strawhat side of this war. Still, so many things to get to and involve in the story. CP0 coming in to fight the victors could almost be its own arc!

Where did Sanji go now? Hmm Oh no, Perospero defeated both Carrot and Wanda and he enters the Skull Dome, I'm starting to think all those match-ups are horse-shit though, so I'm not going to pin him against anyone (maybe Brook? lmao) Marco destroying both Disasters was epic as hell, I can't wait to see this fight animated! Still he's exhausted and if someone doesn't stop Perospero, this is going to end soon. Hyogoro badass af gave me goosebumps
