if there's one thing i dont want to see again for the rest of this arc, it's the narrative device that has consistently produced some of the best chapters in one piece

What do Ace and Oden flashbacks do for us at this point in the story? There are so many interesting storylines to visit, I can't see space for those

Pad out time to chapter 1000.

It is very hosed up that Caesar Clown got away mostly unscathed.
No amount of wacky cover story is going to redeem that guy.

I kinda doubt Oda even tries for a redemption for him; he might get a cover arc but it’ll be just half a year of him eating poo poo if so.

Besides not every cover arc is a redemption. Enel still a dick he just gets an army out of incidentally saving them, Wapol almost turns over a new leaf but hard pivots to no no he is still a total poo poo and now has power again.

Gangster Gastino was a greater help and friend to the Strawhats than Law.

The Caesar Clown fellow? gently caress him though.

I forget, what happened to Caesar anyway? Is he still technically a prisoner of the Strawhats or did he escape sometime during Dressrosa?

The Law? Law is a Human Institution.


My guess is that we'll get a flashback arc where they'll show that they handed CC over to Sogeking, since as a hero he can safely turn them over to the Marines.

i really enjoyed that as fun as the and ceasar clown is here too saga was, that at the end of it nami's just like 'ok thanks go die in a ditch somewhere you piece of poo poo' and then like three weeks later someones asking whatever happened to gangster gastino in an sbs and oda's like 'who cares hopefully he died in a ditch somewhere because he's a piece of poo poo' both bc it was funny and also true, as they say

Caesar was found being negligent in his work by Bege and was executed so that Bege could gain big favour to become wedding security. He was at least useful in his end and it's said that brave hero, Gangster Gastino, shed a single tear in the events.

ya'll keep confusing Cesar Clown with Gangster Gastino and it is shameful. CC is probably in Big Mom's book jail and good riddance

GG, on the other hand, escaped during a chaotic retreat that had everyone fleeing in whichever direction Big Mom wasn't. I feel like it's setup for a future cover arc of GG trying to undo everything that CC did

Yeah that ruled, this whole chapter was great. It's nice to see the fruits of all the Flying Six laid out like that, we've got a ridiculous amount of ancient zoans all in one place here. Two of them being non-dinosaurs was also a fun surprise, considering the only other non-dinosaur ancient zoan we've seen in Kaido's crew was Jack's Mammoth form.

All of the ladies are based on famous yokai - the one with a stretchy neck is a rokurokubi, for instance. Black Maria is a jorogumo, who were often depicted as spider-centaurs well before Dungeons and Dragons made driders iconic in the west.

Ah, my bad. I figured that the snake neck ladies were either not-yokai of some kind or some hosed up Smile users, should have figured Black Maria was the former as well

Also I’m genuinely surprised that Sanji is thirsty on main for all these hosed up yokai ladies, it’s almost heartwarming in a hosed up way.
