With Kaido mentioning a son I guess we'll get confirmation of if he had any kids with Big Mom.

Also I love that Denjiro is the only scabbard that thinks Kin'emon is a tactical genius.

EDIT: By the way I've forgotten, what happened to Garfield? Has he just not arrived yet?

So it gonna turn we've seen the Tobi Roppo/Flying Six already, right? That's why it's only showing their legs?

There have been many, many times Oda has shown new characters in silhouettes. That said we know 2 of them already, Drake and Page One. I'm guessing Apoo will also be one. The other 3 will be new characters.

Nope, they made a point when the Straw Hats showed up that if the moon was out they would have trounced him.

Yeah imagine a whole "island" of minks during a full moon...

Though I can't imagine it would go well after Jack was down and they don't have a target.

Diable Jambe also now has a connection to the way the Vinsmoke Brothers have odd elemental powers without having fruits either, so I wonder if that was roughly when the full nature of the Vinsmokes was first conceptualised.

Wasn’t it said Sanji is just a normal human and has no powers?

Here's a preview

Besides Drake and Page One the other 4 Flying Six are all new characters. Each one is named after a card game. Also Page One's human form design is cool.

So Black Maria’s horns look real. Is she the same species as Kaido/the numbers?

Also Sasaski looks like a former Sun pirate. Guess he’ll be who Jinbe fights.

There's certainly a lot of current One Piece coloring my view of Kuina's death, I guess because both the abilities of characters and wild story developments make falling down stairs not really fit into what I consider the One Piece mold, which has me grasping for something that would make it seem to fit in. Ultimately I just need to remember that's a super long time ago from very early on. Someone also mentioned cape comics, and as fan of those there was some of my "nobody stays dead in comics" mind at work there too.

Characters in flashbacks are just normal humans.

I finally Platinum'd Pirate Warriors 4 and I gotta say... it's the best One Piece game of all time!! Loved it so much that I ended up replaying the story on Ultra Hard and unlocked all the form changes for characters. Kaido's dragon mode is particularly loving great. You ain't lived until you've caught Kizaru, Fujitora and Akainu in an electrified tornado and flung them three Wano fields away.

How many hours did that take you?

Hell ya I've been waiting to see more of Apoo's fruit. Seems really strong but I'm guessing it has some restrictions.

For the Flying Six member Queen is planning on killing, the obvious answer is he found out about SWORD and it's Drake but that seems too obvious. Maybe it's Page One for failing to kill Sanji.

Scratchmen Apoo's rank in Kaido's crew keeps being a mystery other than that he's no lower than being at least a Headliner (who's stronger than that rank would indicate).

I mean Hawkins is also just a headliner. It might not be an issue of strength, it’s just that they haven’t been in the crew for very long.

Some spoilers are out already~

- One of the numbers appears outside of their silhouette. Sadly they just look like giants with horns(Black Maria is probably a former number). Guessing they're a species native to Onigashima? And possibly relatives of Oars?
- Marco knocks the Big Mom pirates down the waterfall again, then shows up at Onigashima with Neko and Izo.
- Whos Who's subordinates are all cat people for some reason?
- It appears you can block Apoo's abilities by not hearing the music, so covering your ears works if you're far enough away.
- And the most important spoiler: No break next week!

I really liked this too, I never would have thought that was the case in a million years, but it makes perfect sense based on their devil fruit ability and overall gimmick. I also like how it makes them one of the strongest OP characters if you don't know the secret, but one of the weakest if you do. That's just some nice overall shonen goodness right there.

I assume Apoo must have some sort of weapon/martial arts if he has to fight someone solo. It's probably pretty hard to fight while also covering your ears.

my personal FEELING is that the multi-power thing has something to do with the yami-yami, since blackbeard staked it out and killed for it after some serious undercover work/subterfuge despite his personality being so boisterous and generally, um, anti-stealth? or not who knows but i am definitely interested in learning more blackbeard backstory

The thing is that Burgess in Dressarosa seemed to have the ability to do it too, since he was talking about killing Sabo and taking his fruit. Maybe he just meant he’d drag his corpse all the way back for Blackbeard to do it.

Do you have the chapter for that? Because I reread that part a few weeks ago and I don’t remember him carrying any fruits.

Kild posted:

He doesnt have a fruit

Oh you meant the ability of having 2 fruit powers, not taking the fruit from a dead body. Marco said it was due to Blackbeard’s unique body, something he had before eating the Dark fruit(for example in the flashback it was revealed he doesn’t/can’t sleep).
