Its so funny that ben beckmann pointing a gun at kizaru has done an absurd amount of heavy lifting in power level discussions around the entire red haired pirates crew

it's really good in both senses that kizaru doesn't take poo poo seriously but also holy poo poo it's ben beckmann

shanks goes about doing secret deals, meeting with genocidal maniacs who worship an god unseen to the rest of the world, told whitebeard it would be "too hard" to kick blackbeards rear end

meanwhile, chad marshall not only easily executed a multiple decades long plan to obtain a specific magical fruit, he then tied a handful of sticks together and somehow made it from the new world to halfway across the earth, bonked his assailant on the head, waltzed into the worlds most guarded prison, came out of it with a full rear end crew of demons and then also killed the strongest man on earth

of the two there is one clear winner and its the morbidly obese toothless guy
Exactly. Shanks is the old era, like Whitebeard. And that’s why Luffy’s gotta beat him. Blackbeard will definitely be the last boss.

also shanks is way cool and deserves his spot on the popularity poll among all the cheesecakes that 13 year olds voted for every day

I can't believe an honourable pirate like Big Mom would act in such a way!!

Anyway, i'm real bummed it's looking increasingly likely we will not be getting an Usopp or Nami fight. Like I imagine they'll be assisting againt Big Mum (at least Nami and Zeus) but I kinda just wanted them to face Page and Ulti.

im finding myself pretty curious how this ends up going down. I’m guessing momonosuke grabs him (or maybe laws crew catches him first) and the final fight is Luffy + Everyone Not Incapacitated vs Kaido, with every not Luffy person just pulling utility or dogpiling the Zoro wound.

I feel pretty satisfied that Nami's stood up to them and did some damage. Quite like that not every Strawhat is an unstoppable beefy murdercake. Some are just 'good', but can still hold their own for a bit. Flying Six should be tougher than them.

I feel like he was already kind of saying that here right? He said he should have taken his head because as long as he's alive/unless he can show proof he's dead his crew will have hope and keep fighting. My impression was that he got so into the fight that he launched Luffy off the cliffside and immediately regrets it

not much to do with the current chap but small narrative prediction:

we still have additional backstory flashback reveals for zoro and nami (and luffy but i think most people agree with that) to come

reason being: there is a lot of love shown to the original east blue crew and we got the sanji one already. both still have notable holes in their backstory (aka what the hell was going on prior to what we saw) and i think it will flesh them both out a bit more. also i wanna learn more about the crew

The One True Oden

I think we might get more about Zoro, but I love his backstory as it stands. He's just some kid who got really into swords, and then his friend died and he promised to become the BEST at swords.

That's all you need! He doesn't need to be the heir to the secret Wano sword school or whatever.

No matter how one loves, there are always different aims. Love can take a great many forms, whatever the era.
Gol D. Roger decided one day that he wanted to be a pirate and then he became the Pirate King

Zoro doesn't need any more backstory
