Even Doflamingo isn't "pure" evil. He's just extremely evil (if that makes any sense).

No one in One Piece has really been evil for evil's sake.

You know for a bit I almost forgot how much of an arse Kaiou was, but this chapter sure reminded me. I don't recall much depth to Kaidou in his previous appearances, so I'm curious to see how Oda puts everything into context with regards to his characterization.

But damn, little girl had it rough. Wonder if she'll be this arc's Rebeccahoshi :p

- Tama met ACE?! Oda not wasting any time letting that little detail go into play. And ya boy Hawkins already??
She's not that old, so it had to be recently. Only it couldn't have been in the last three years since we know he was either dead or chasing Teach during that time frame. Given she's 8 there's not a lot of room for them to have met and for him to have made that promise.

Unless, of course, that promise was passed down to her from a time she either doesn't remember or wasn't around for.

This could well be Ace mirroring his old man...

Very interesting chapter. It was fast, and many things happened. Didn't expect Ace to be mentioned any more, that was surprising.
And Basil Hawkings!!

Agree Oda wants to get into action as soon as possible. Feels like he doesn't want this arc to take too long.

I'm really not understanding your complaints. Zou was not some female being oppressed. WCI wasn't some female being oppressed. Dressrosa was, but Kyros also explained the oppression from his point of view which linked up with Rebecca. Punk Hazard wasn't. Should we count Fishman Island considering it wasn't like Rebecca or Tama at all? Jinbei explained the whole situation to them and Shirahoshi wasn't oppressed by Hody like Tama or Rebecca.

Think you guys are trying to force it.


I liked how Kaido's oppression on Wano itself was expanded upon. That it ended up being a female is really insignificant. Might as well try and force the kid trait because that trait was present in Punk Hazard and now Wano. In other words, a female being oppressed and bringing the SH into the fold to start off the arc happened the same amount of times as a kid being oppressed. Two times.

Seems like shit is really bad in Wano, if the citizens are literally starving and the water is contaminated.
Time for the Strawhats to stick it to the man again.

Hawkins going rogue or at least not really caring about keeping an image with regards to his alliance with Kaido isn't too surprising, but it's cool nonetheless. He's one of the most interesting Supernova to me, so it's cool seeing him getting some screentime. Especially seeing how Bege went from being "eh" to basically the best out of the bunch so far imo.

I'm assuming we might get more Luffy shanenigans and maybe a glimpse to Sanji's group, but I doubt it, as the next time they meet up is probably going to be quite big, especially with Zoro's group (the chapter this side appeared in was to set up their general roles in the Wano infiltration so far: we surely will get the outcome (or continuation) of those premises, especially Robin and Zoro's).

I hope we have a whole group reunion and not a staggered one.

Every period Japanese drama has common people on the brink of starvation. Other tropes include threatening girls into becoming prostitutes, wandering ronins, completely unreasonable demands by thugs.

Arc is moving quick. We already even found our requisite "girl with a problem". Kinda glad it's not another Nami. She seems cool so far.

Love that Hawkins is on the move. I just hope the crew isnt separated for too long.

I wonder just how big Wano is, because it looks like it's quite fucking big.

Can't wait to see it coloured (not really in the anime as I mostly dislike the look of it -without even having into account its animation-, but rather in the manga).

Also, these colourspreads make me want a full SH reunion so bad.

Waiting for Ace...she's gonna have a long wait.

Nice to see Basil back, even if he's reporting up to Kaido supposedly.

Already hitting various points of interest
More reasons Kaido is a dickbag that needs to be taken down
A young girl that shows the plight of their people resulting in Luffy taking action
Ace being brought back up. Wonder what he did in Wano.
Basil Hawkins is back (English Jump readers are going to be pleased). I could see him being a traitor to Kaido, where as Drake and Apoo stay loyal to him. Maybe.
The obligatory "Luffy confuses a tengu mask with Usopp" joke.

Man, Luffy was awesome in that opening bit though.

O yea basil is weirdly popular over here lol so bizarre.

About the supernova I hope you right. I don't want every single one being all turncoat. I expect it from drake and Hawkins. So hopefully apoo just takes the L and gets defeated by the strawhat alliance

I guess Jimbe is still not considered an "official" member of the Straw Hats ? Oda doesn't draw him in opening drawings with the rest of the crew. Just an observation.

Apoo was the only one to remotely injure kizaru, i hope hes strong and takes the straw hats or a supernova allaince against kaidou and shows hes power.

I have a feeling all the supernovas will team up under luffy.

I noticed the Shonen Jump symbol.

I wonder if by the time Luffy meets up with Sanji and the others, they'll already have Wano clothes too?

Someone making Luffy food means he's gonna 1v1 Kaido for her sake now lol

Seems like Wano is at least Alabasta size with multiple regions, much bigger than the last islands.

Injured? Apoo didn't even scratch Kizaru.

what's this vivre card that Luffy is talking about? I thought Ace is dead, so his card should be burned out.

And how is this girl Tama using mochi powers? Katakuri should be the only devil fruit user with mochi abilities.

Yeah, I'll second these comments about Luffy looking far more swag about fodderizing folks than usual. It's a nice touch, our boy is growing up but still Luffy at the end of the day.

Wano basics getting set up in a brisk pace is cool and O-Tama is cute.Can't wait to see how Oda handles Luffy talking about Ace.

Watch it be dango powers instead.

Probably Kinemon's

Maybe Sabo's

She probably has specifically dango powers.

I fucked up y'all.
I thought I had downloaded the Black Clover beta already but I had not so I went back to the store page and it doesn't even exist anymore. Turns out the client was available to be downloaded only one day and now I can't anymore even though the beta itself doesn't start until Sunday. So I will not be able to try out the game with you, unless they put it back up but that's unlikely.

The animals are very cute and so is the little girl.
Unusual ability
I wonder if she uses part of her body to produce those Dangos.
Aww, Poor girl, I'm glad they fed Luffy first and then explained the situation to him. Now I'm sure Luffy will help them because they gave him food.

Holy fuck did that dude just contemplate selling a little girl on the red light district? Jesus Oda that's the darkest line in One Piece so far. Sure there has been slavery before but as far as I could tell there was never any implication that slaves were used for sex in the world of OP, let alone children.
