comedic chapter spoilers
Luffy got stabbed by the guy who killed the guy who made the one piece (its a long story)
Not yet, check back in a little while.
Imu saying “You are not HIM” at the end of the chapter before giving Luffy the alabasta crocodile treatment is gold. It shows how Luffy doesn’t have a hold on his powers while Imu clearly does. Luffy was on the backfoot for the entire fight and not really having a plan on how to approach or counter Imu’s abilities.
Good chapter to start a break on
. Likely I’m thinking whatever restriction Imu has on being in the surface world is going to kick in at some point.In this chapter it feels like Imu’s powers could be a mirror of Luffy’s with the way he bent his arm to follow Luffy’s dodge. Maybe the final powerup is Luffy being able to match what Imu can do
I feel like the theme also is that the monster trio are going to have to learn to overcome their character flaws in order to reach their peak.
Gaban told sanji that he needs to stop being a masochistic freak so maybe we will see sanji kick women (which would shatter the fandom). Zoro also needs to take a chill pill.
I’m really holding out for Sanji’s requirement for conqueror’s haki to just be normal around women, it would be so funny
volcel haki
A big cliffhanger this week! I guess the power difference between Luffy and Joyboy was hinted at with Joyboy’s haki knot on Egghead, but still didn’t expect Luffy to take a BTFO hit like that.
I like how Oda demonstrated the difference between Imu and Luffy’s skill with their abilities, Imu was able to stay in control for the entire fight while Luffy was retreating and trying to find an opening that never came. Luffy still has a long way to go with gear 5 and I’m glad it’s not a insta-win button.
