Chapter was kinda average.
The overall setting that Luffy lost to Kaido again was a bad move. N the reason being:
1)Kaido wanna destroy wano n I don't think they are far away from Wano now.
2)The heavy hitters in SHs camp are down rather it seems Oda not giving Haki to SHs is gonna backfire as now we are seeing this BS panel where Caesar help Chopper even tho both the parties hates each other.
3)BM intention is all over the place. In 1 moment she was singing wit Kaido, in another she like 1shot Kaido underlings n now we have no idea what she wants in this raid as she was like I don't care if Kaido defeated Luffy. Heck u came to Wano to beat Luffy.
4)Luffy has nuttin left. He became Ichigo of One Piece. Tried everything on Kaido n couldn't finish him. All the BS powerup he got in this arc n he can't beat the crap out of Kaido. Rather Kaido like one shot Kinemon. Could that trigger Momonuske Dragon form? Would be interesting to see Kaido's reaction.
I will rate it 2/5.
Too many questions arose from this chapter....
- How does Kaidou know about Joy Boy?
- Has Oda just killed off Kinemon, Kanjurou and Kikunojo??
- What was so fascinating about Luffys name for his moves that Kaidou was making fun of it?
- Who is Momonosuke warning Kinnemon and the Kiniochi of? Did he just hear Zunisha's voice again? Possibly, zunisha telling momo that luffy is sinking....I mean its plausible we still dont know how all the minks got to wano.
Comments:
- Jinbei's managed to push back Whoswho into normal form, not bad.
- I wonder if Kanjurous actually dead. To be honest i reckon its bullshit writing that Kanjurou managed to trick Kiku again and land a fatal blow. Considering she just saw what happened to Ashura....this pissed me off. Its just a waste of panels, she should've just taken him out in a swift manner, they hype up samurai only to make us let down.
-Chopper seriously needs to learn arnament haki, Like he said this chapter , its good that with help of Ceasar Clown his able to use his monster form for 10-30 minutes but if it lacks a punch then it doesnt count. We're in the new world now, and enemies are only gonna get stronger. Hopefully, he decides to asks someone after this arc to help him learn it.
Not just him, i want Usopp to also train his Observation haki.
As for the others strawhats, they would need haki too now to compete with the big shots but lets see what Oda does.
Exactly what I thought abt this chapter.
It's kinda stupid that Kiku can't strike fake Oden even after seeing what Kanjuro did with Ashura. I feel she deserves to die n met with Oden in afterlife so he can school him abt his samurai way.
And yes SHs need Haki. Something I m advocating from the beginning of this arc. It's absurd to see some of the veteran SHs like Robin has no Haki even tho she sailed with Crocodile n 'n' no.of Pirates in NW before joining SHs.
Even worse is Zoro n Luffy. These guys were trained by Yonko Tier guys n they lost to Yonko pretty easy.
Currently I feel lyk another Timeskip is necessary. Where SHs could train in Haki n challenge Yonkos again. But it doesn't seem feasible right now.
Kaidou probably has read his fair share of poneglyphs in his time, with the help of someone in Wano who can translate.
Not possible. Only Kozukis had the knowledge of Poneglyphs. And the knowledge was passed down to only first born. So after Oden the knowledge should go to Momo but for some reason he wasn't taught or still unable to figure out how to read it.
