The Stussining
I mean, Killua is almost as protagonist as Gon. I can't like him.
I think the only shonen protag I don't mind is Ash. Curiously, he's the only one who is a loser...

The whole memory erasing effect of the Hobby-Hobby Fruit is pretty contrived, huh? Like, I'd buy it erasing the memories of the person who was turned into a toy, but those of everyone who knew of said person? Ehhh.

It kinda has to work that way otherwise it wouldn't be as effective. Basically it just erases the person from existence and replaces them with a toy.

Yeah, that's why I said contrived. Oda needed that effect for the story. Erasing that person from existence makes complete sense, but it having the ability to affect the memories of others? That's wild.

I mean, if they never existed then it makes sense they won't be remembered.

But... they did exist. And people would still have those memories. It'd be like saying when someone dies (i.e., no longer exists), everyone who knew of said someone wouldn't remember them. You could say that given the power of DFs, something like that could be possible, but from what we've seen of them up to this point (for me), they've never had an effect on this kind of scale.

Though don't get me wrong; I think it works well enough from a story perspective.

Well, the power makes it so they never existed at all. Like, they were straight up never born. The prior events still happened, just without them.

I don't really think it's any crazier than Brook coming back from the dead, after that I'm willing to buy pretty much anything.

Difference with Brook is that it affected him alone. This could hypothetically affect millions (no clue how big the world of OP is) of people.

Chapter 746

Am I reaching too much to think that this 1-3 star system (in addition to them being hunted) is a slight reference to HxH? :P

Holy fucking shit, how the hell can Oda give us this moments so consistently?

This is easily the best chapter ever released for me, I can't even process all the shit he just set up with one single chapter. I can't believe he put all these monsters in motion, I can't even react properly.

Thank you Oda for existing, One Piece is too good for this world.

Apparently Big Mom and Kaido used to be part of the same crew?!?! That's fucking madness. Also, what's "Rocks"? Then another Don Quixote? This shit is crazytown!

So now this whole Vice Admiral tea party thing has me thinking, the "lurking legend" is definitely someone related to this whole "rocks" bit right? (First thing of note as I continue through this chapter)
Fake edit: seems like its just referring to BM and Kaidou

Real time thoughts:

- Big Mom and Kaidou being affiliated to such a degree has me here wondering wtf is going on. I get the idea that Big Mom and Whitebeard were probably the two senior most members of the four emperors but is Kaidou like a BM protege or something else entirely?
- Yeah, the broadcast of this seems to be an open invitation for Wano to literally become Super Smash Bros. Brawl's first trailer levels of "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE"
- YO MOMOUSAGI IS CANON? #StillShouldHaveBeenANewAdmiral
- I swear, Oda has waited decades just to hit us with these lavish ass panels of Mary Geoise's interior. The Empty Throne looks like some shit you'd see right before a series ending JRPG fight.
- ...motherfucking Charloss I swear.
-- OH SHIT LUCCI, KAKU AND STUSSY CONFIRMED FOR [strike]SMASH[/strike] REVERIE. We bout to get a canon Sabo v Lucci runback yall! Also, I'm so hyped seeing Vivi take charge like this + Neptune ready to throw hands because FUCK the Celestials at this point.
- DUDE WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK IS THIS ARC? Don Quixote members now? What even is this
- Jesus Christ, this really is big names, the arc. Shanks hype

Damn. How we already have yet another 11/10 chapter. Wow, there's a lot to unpack here.

- Ah, guess I was wrong about Big Mom not caring about Zeus. She does care after all, wants him back. Makes sense since he was with her since he was a kid, almost would be a waste of lifespan. On a side note, it's hilarious then that this confirms that there's been a thunderstorm hanging over WCI that has nothing to do with Zeus. Maybe it's some really bad weather, or maybe it's because of her Haki.

- But yea, the fact that we have Big Mom and Kaido talking like it's nothing just completely blew my mind. It blew my mind when I read the spoilers for it, and it blew my fucking mind seeing the actual page. All those theories of Big Mom crashing Wano, and while it may come true after all, it's happening in a way absolutely no one expected. Hype. As. Fuck. And the best part about their conversation, the detail about there being a period in time where they got along well. What the fuck?! Just goes to show how badly we underestimated the relationship between the Yonkos. I don't know how this semi-alliance (Actually, it's not even really an alliance, they're both gonna do whatever the hell they want) will play out, but Luffy is fucked.

- And wtf is that debt she has over him? To think Oda would create a mystery more compelling than what Ivankov has over Crocodile...

- I like the clarification that the Yonko basically don't care if the Marines show up. Because when reading the spoilers, I thought it was weird that the Yonko didn't have access to Den Den Mushis that couldn't be traced, like what Dragon has. But when you're that strong, I guess it doesn't matter. That Kizaru shows absolutely no fear in going to deal with the situation either speaks highly of his strength, or he's a bigger troll than I thought. Although I guess it's completely possible that he'd bring another Admiral with him.

- But then we have Akainu of all people shut that down for the time being, indirectly hyping up the samurai at Wano. Hmm.... Actually, going off of what Garp and co. said, seems the Marines won't show up after all? Kind of confused here.

- JFC, even with two Yonko breathing down Luffy's neck, Garp still gives no fucks. Wow. He does have a good point though about how they need their security here for the time being, seeing as how it's the Reverie and all.

- So these two Vice-Admirals were candidates to become Admirals. You know, I actually never knew they were characters until this arc began. I dunno, I watched Film Gold and everything, but this info just completely slipped by me. Anyways, that's really dope, I hope they'll actually be revelant, as Vice-Admirals could definitely use the hype.

- Why Hina calling Garp "Garp-kun" tho (And did she always speak in third-person?)

- So if I'm reading this correctly, Big Mom and Kaido used to be in the same crew? Wow.... Their captain is gone, but are they dead? Is that the "legend" Oda was referring to? WTF is going on here!

- Hollow/Empty Throne. GoT jokes abound I'm sure. Oda's focus on Stelly is very interesting to me. I can't tell if it's just for the Reverie, or if the dude will end up failing upwards to a position no one expects him to obtain.

- Damn, already trying to kidnap Shirahoshi. I fucking detest Charloss.

- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rob fucking Lucci !!!!!!! Kaku!!! I had hopes they'd be here, but seeing them in the flesh is so satisfying lmao. Good to see Stussy here as well. I like that the other guy is still unrevealed to us. I wonder if Lucci is the strongest/the leader. That said, as hyped as I am, goddamn Lucci is such a dick.

- Shoutout to my dude Hattori as well.

- The anger Neptune feels in this moment reminds me very strongly of what Arlong, Jinbe, and Fisher Tiger have gone through. The temptation is strong, and I can't fault Neptune to succumbing to it, that's his damn daughter after all. That said, I'm amazed that even as she's in the midst of being kidnapped, Shirahoshi is still able to tell her father to not give in to the hate. It's a very underrated trait of hers that I really appreciate.

- Just gonna savor this moment:

- I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be happy to see another Celestial Dragon. For Otohime's past kindness to have come full circle like this is immensely satisfying. And on top of that, Mjosgard belongs to Doffy's family, yoooooooooooo (Also I like how he looks "normal" now lol)


Shanks. Is. At. The. Reverie.

I feel like I'm going to be fiending for all of One Piece Twitter/YouTube to get on this chapter. I had to re-read it twice before I caught on to the idea of two emperors working together and realized that Luffy and the Straw Hat crew are in the supreme league now. The only other event that led to two emperors getting together in current time was Shanks showing up to warn Whitebeard about letting Ace continue tailing Blackbeard and the collective political sphere of the world lost their shit. With that in mind, there's genuinely no way the marines won't go all fucking in to seize the initiative when they get the clear.

...

Shanks. Is. Casually. Talking. To. The. Five. Elder. Stars.

Edit: Shoutouts to the chapter also pretty much putting it in writing that Emperors basically require Admirals + Warlords. Also shoutouts to all this making me genuinely nervous for the Straw Hats, despite them coming off their biggest W thus far.
