One Piece Chapter 991 – Akazaya Nine VS Kaido

Their conviction, regret and swords have been carried across twenty years, all with the hopes of culminating into such a moment where they are able to bear their very hearts through the blades they now direct against the existence responsible for the suffering of their people and the creature who killed their Master. Jack has been overwhelmed and now the Akazaya Nine turn to face the architect behind all the lands suffering, the captain of the Beast Pirates, Hundred Beast Kaido.

One Piece Chapter 976-977 – The Helmsman Of The Straw Hat Pirates

Well those Gate Guardians were steamrolled…lol

How unreal, how thrilling, how satisfying, how joyous, how exhilarating – it is about time that the Knight of the Sea, Jinbe, joins the Straw Hat Pirates. For over a decade many have been waiting for Boss Jinbe to join being teased on several occasions by almost circumstances but finally, it is official! The Straw Hat Pirates have their helmsman and onward to Onigashima Island to take down Kaido and Big Mom. If Oda-sensei has any other plans for introducing any future Straw Hat Pirate members or developing them, this is the moment to do it in with at least one Yonko about to be defeated.

One Piece Chapter 975 – Kin’emon’s Foresight

In order to fool the traitor, Kin’emon had to first fool the allies closest to him

What prudence, what anticipation, what prescience. The betrayal of an ally that led to the death of the Lord of Wano Kuni and the fall of the nation, such wounds and the everlasting seemingly non-fading pain has created within Kine’mon a trauma so significant that he took it upon himself to doubt an ally and corner the traitor within their own web. Because of such foresight, he has saved his allies and solidified their rebellion against the captors of Wano Kuni. The stage has been set and now the actors have entered, all that is left is for Orochi and the Kaido and Big Mom alliance to fall.

One Piece Chapter 963 – Oden And Whitebeard

And so the two meet and share an electrifying greeting

And so the wheels of fate turn on the path called life towards a destination intertwined with adventure, realisation, misery, sorrow and death. The meeting that set in motion the events leading up to the current events where legends were created and the hungering arms of greed motioned towards its endless desire for what it perceives as satisfaction. A meeting longed for by Oden whom sought a bridge towards the world outside of Wano Kuni. And with his overwhelming joy conveyed through his welcoming strike, he proposes his intention to join the crew of the Whitebeard Pirates.

One Piece Chapter 962 – Oden’s Journey Across Wano Kuni

What an overwhelming presence…

We all need a little crazy and in our blood and it looks like Kozuki Oden has that pumping throughout his body. To not only see a solution where others see impossibility, he has a natural charisma elevated by his strength to inspire others to want to believe in something different from their boxed perspective. Despite his obvious overbearing personality and lack of ability to conform to societal standards, when one truly looks at him, they can’t help but react to the overwhelming conviction exuding from him.

One Piece Chapter 961 – The Mountain God Incident

I wonder if we will see that White Boar baby in the current time now that decades have past since then

To think everything Oden did was to force his father into a corner where he had no choice but to officially disown Oden. All in order to free himself from the boundaries Wano Kuni imposes on him. Oden deliberately prevented Kin’emon from revealing the truth and bore the disdain and blame from the Flower Capital citizens affected by the Mountain God incident. Was Oden driven by some deeper purpose attached to the history of Wano Kuni and their association to the Ancient Civilisation or was Oden genuinely constricted by the borders of Wano Kuni?

One Piece Chapter 958-959 – Orochi’s Scheme

The crushing scene devoid of hope with the path to Onigashima before them…

Orochi’s desperation is precipitating towards his actions but given the information he had available and the fears of his downfall which he has been dreading for the past 20 years, it is only natural to see Orochi do whatever he can to avoid having the power he once brutally stole away from the Kozuki Clan now being robbed away from him. Even if it means destroying the bridges that connect the different Islands of Wano Kuni together, Orochi considers that destruction necessary to prevent the rebellion from launching an assault on Onigashima Island. What Orochi has failed to take into account is the ingenuity of the Straw Hat Pirates and what they are capable of in such situations. One way or another, despite Orochi’s efforts and beliefs, the rebellion shall reach Onigashima Island.

One Piece Chapter 919 – The Samurai From The Past

Nani?!

Well that “can” got opened. What an unexpected plot twist. I am not sure what to think and whether such a twist has opened up a whole new dimension to One Piece. I didn’t expect it, I don’t think anybody expected it, it is such an absurd direction that it was seemingly implausible. For Kin’emon and Co. to have come from the future, how shockingly intriguing. How? Why? Who? When? Kin’emon is serious, right?

One Piece Chapter 740 – Faith In Usopp

C’mon Usopp, you can do it!

Looking at things from Usopp’s perspective, it must not be easy for him; an ordinary human, without any Devil Fruit powers or Haki, going up against unforgiving pirates wielding dangerous fruits, it is expected he would be fearful, yet the level cowardice Usopp is exhibiting now is shocking even me. I just hope Usopp manages to remember the reason he is sailing the Grand Line for and stop himself from running away. Right now, everyone is relying on him, they all have their faith in Usopp seeing through Operation SOP. Usopp is the only one now able to complete Operation SOP, he NEEDS to take Sugar out. I hope that voice inside Usopp called Sogeking manages to make itself heard by Usopp.
