Because OP is the type of shonen where the cast gets stronger as it continues The power scaling was always going to be hosed since the longer the series goes the higher the ceiling must be pushed so it can appear to remain high.

I think Kanjuro is in deep poo poo. Kaido seems to have a real aversion to hurting kids

Oden was one of the few people who could seriously hurt and possibly beat Kaido, and Kaido got cheated out of it.
Hes pissed about that, and wanted momo to grow up and finish the job.


And gently caress I just realized that was Izou in the end of the last chapter.

Keep in mind that bounties aren't literally Power Levels - lots of characters do things and become more powerful in ways that don't necessarily raise their bounty. Doffy's bounty was lower than Luffy's when they fought! Totally normal for one of the supernovas to be kind of a Big Deal.

The Supernovas are explicitly some of the strongest, craftiest or most successful pirates of the worst generation.
Its not about the bounty, but about the infamy that title brings.

Kind of like the shichibukai, they may not have had the highest bounties before getting recruited but they were strong enough to be noticed and given the position.

Im fine with kaido just offing orochi like this. while sure if this is actually orochis death its unfulfilling on a personal scale for the scabbards but Kaido is a global power. Almost a force of nature. orochi was always a petty piece of poo poo and Kaido very obviously hates associating with him. And now he dares to give him sass? Off with your head.

but Orochi is nothing if not a tenacious and crafty fucker. In fact that might be all he is.

Pirate bounties were, in real life, not just incentives for pirate hunters but also incentive for pirates to turn on each other, either a rival crew or that particular captains crew doing a mutiny for the cash.

I certainly wasn't expecting the scabbards to do damage to kaido so quickly. Carrot clowned on big moms army pretty well in su long form (even though it was at sea and they were disadvantaged).

I think this is setting up nicely for them to bring kaido down from 100%, maybe some where to 60-80? So Luffy/Yamato can finish him off. Not sure who is going to take big mom on though


Seems like he got hit both with Odens sword and in the place where he got his first hit. Its very much a Smaug from LOTR thing.

I think being a funny joke skeleton is part of it, but as someone pointed out a few posts ago, Sanji wanting invisibility powers so he can be a peeping tom really changes the tone of his fixation on women and makes it much uglier. Brook blatantly asking characters if he can see their underwear is nasty but also completely ridiculous and is supposed to provoke a "what the hell, Brook, you can't just say that" reaction, as opposed to the genuinely super creepy Sanji who tries to pass himself off as chivalrous and a champion of women.


I do wish that Brook joke would get dropped and I do think it lessens his character, but at least it comes across as a joke (even if it's bad and unfunny).

Thing is that joke doesnt define his character, its a very small aspect of brook.
Hes not a lecher who is sometimes a musical skeleton
Hes a musical skeleton who is sometimes lecherous.

As opposed to Sanji's lecher who is sometimes a chef.

The shot timescale over which the stoey happens is justified by how the world is shown to progress regardless of where the strawhats are and what theyre doing. so you 'know' if they do take too long the world will catch up and pass them by.

And we havent had an island that did expect the strawhats because they usually move so much faster then even news about them can go, hell they probably were at Zou before :bignews: had a chance to report the whole cake stuff.

As for ship speeds just say the new world currents are super fast and OP ships are speedboat slick.

Besides kaido did work with Caesar whos connected to Vegapunk whos connected to Judge. And id think its a Yonko's crews business to know these kind of things.

Its not a impossible for them to have met, and still likely for Queen to have been one of those people's lab assistants.

He hasn't done a goddamn thing so far. This would feel like more of an asspull than birdcage to me, at this point I'd be completely satisfied with him doing nothing but ruling in the aftermath

Hes also 8 years old but weve been constantly shown that he wants to do anything to help.
Everytime weve seen him in downtime hes practicing swordswings. The kid's due for a tangible win at some point. Hes Oden's heir and is the rallying cry for all of the samurai, the way they can reclaim their honor. At this point I say he needs to be instrumental to the win in some way to close this narrative un a satisfactory way.



This would make the treatment of rebecca suck even more retroactively since shed have less agency than an 8 year old child.

I think you'd still be paralyzed. So a death sentence. Maybe Kaido was already suicidal back then and Big Mom gave him the Goldfish Fruit as a sick joke? But because he's Kaido, he ate it and it STILL didn't kill him somehow?
