Kevin Fisher
I actually appreciate one piece for being straightforward. Not sure why some people wanted a plot twist to happen now just because they think the story is getting too boring. If the plot twist is bleach or naruto level and done badly people will just be bashing oda about it.
Jace Murphy
I'm glad Wadatsumi came
Ian Diaz
Oda can't keep getting away with this bullshit
Nathan Gomez
Smoothie, you stay back. If a jobber is needed, leave it to me!
I don't necessarily want a plot twist, I just want Oda to get on with it. Faster.
Robert Perez
It's going to end soon. This only happens because the straw hats are outnumbered and doesn't have enough forces to take on a yonko crew. Wano will be different.
Alexander James
>Straw Hats and Sun Pirates about to be overwhelmed >Big Mom finally takes a bite >It's the best cake she's ever eaten >Flashbacks etc. >She cries loudly >Charlottes hear it and they pause momentarily >Heroes manage to escape
Angel Thompson
Oda please end WCI soon. I can't take much more of it. You're so close to an amazing arc. Don't fuck it up.
Ethan Cook
We allready past the point of plotwists from a narrative point really. The twists are before the climax.
Nathan Garcia
thank togashi we still have Hunter x Hunter
Camden Thompson
Yes that would be a fantastic chapter, add Jinbe and Bege to the mix as well
Wich part would you cut so the story went faster friend?
Luis Sanders
Im starting to wonder if this arc was planned, because of Big mom's army was just introduced leaving little build up to Luffy's fights. I dont even know anymore.
Ayden Reyes
Daifuku no! You mustn't! What if you hurt a main character?!!
what can Oda do to redeam this garbage arc? How are we supposed to believe that the Big Mom pirates cant be taken care of by 2 admirals after he made a fool out of them?
I mean like 3 chapters soon, it could honestly be like 10 depending on what happens.
Nathaniel Clark
Wadatsumi was brought in ealier this arc, it would have been a waste not to use him.
Gabriel Murphy
Oda won't go that route. He doesn't like killing characters. Marineford is an exception. Whitebeard and ace died for the plot.
Caleb Hernandez
I miss when it was SH vs the world, they have too many fucking allies that it feels like Luffy is doing the Pirate King adventure on easy mode
Jayden King
Oda will do nothing he is a fucking HACK
Josiah Taylor
Big mom has been close to the cake for 5 months now lmao. This shit is ending when Oda starts feeling ashamed of himself
Lucas Garcia
Because the whole point of Luffy getting away with what he's done is that he has many allies that have risked their lives to help him 2 almirals wouldn't stand a chance against BMP because it'd be an all out war with no chance to escape, cause no one on Tottland would help them
Juan Harris
>>at chapter 500 the SH promised to stop running I don't remember this. I only remember luffy saying to fujitora that he won't run from admirals and yonkos. You know luffy he likes to talk big. Well the straw hats are not strong enough to directly face against yonko crews without backups.
Joshua Ross
>He doesn't like killing characters. He should because if not he has to deal with too many characters, also NW should feel more dangerous.
Big Mom is right in front of the cake in 899. Oda tends to make big events happen in milestone chapters, such as every 100th chapter. This makes me wonder if BM will eat the cake in 900, and in that case, what would happen to her.
I can think of 3 possibilities:
1) Big Mom eats the cake and faints from joy - the outcome Sanji and many people expect would happen. A very anticlimatic and predictable ending for this arc, but also one in which both Luffy and Sanji get what they want in the end. It's the outcome in which BM's life is not in immediate danger.
2) Big Mom eats the cake, but somebody tampered with it (Bege, Pudding, Chiffon, etc.) and BM experiences a negative setback from it. - With this arc having plenty of twists as well as BM repeatedly not getting her way, it's still a possible outcome.
Or:
3) Big Mom fails to eat the cake and she progressively gets weaker and hungrier - a very unlikely outcome but with so many parties eager to take out BM, the possibility is not exactly zero.
I'm leaning towards #2 myself. Like I said, Oda likes to make big events happen in milestone chapters, and this arc is filled to the brim with twists. A big twist would be more cathartic than a big predictable ending.
We've had the chemical KX get brought up as a means to assassinate BM, yet it didn't anything in this arc. I don't think Oda would bother explaining KX's properties as just minor detail. A small amount is lethal. The poison it is based on (VX Nerve Agent) is both odorless and tasteless. KX could have those same properties too, so not even a cook of Sanji's caliber could detect its presence in the cake. It would also make sense for Bege to poison the cake, as there is no way he would be satisfied with an ending in which he fails to kill BM. He invested 2 years into this plan.
Many of the BM top officers were also defeated or will seemingly lose in this arc. And we know enough of BM's past and motives that Oda can resolve her story here.
Jayden Ward
>Spoilers have Sanji getting owned >Everybody laughs, from spoiler to chapter the Jobji jokes don't stop >Spoilers contain Sanji doing something >Nothing happens the chapter hack hack hack So the hackposters are also the Sanjihaters. Now that's something.
Hunter Wright
Doesnt luffy always do this? Beat the strong dude and make a break for it? Running seems to be a good plan.
Cameron Allen
Oh thats right 500 was when they had the BIG RUN and got seperated for 100 chapters. After Marineford Luffy promised he'd stop running and gain the strength to fight admirals.
Robert Harris
I hope Pudding poisoned the cake
Jonathan Long
I gotta say the climax of this arc is dragging and lame as fuck.
Jacob Nguyen
Luffy's entire power is the fact that so many people think he's amazing and want to support him. It's like the basis for his character and also his strongest ability.
From day 1 he had Shanks on his side.
Eli Hill
3-6 chapters and this is over, user, don't worry
Justin Watson
It's happened every single arc. This shit is getting stupid.
Carter Gonzalez
Admirals are probably capable. They didn't want to do it because world government wanted to maintain balance of powers and it is too risky because the other yonkos and dragon might attack the marines while they are off fighting against big mom.
Jacob Hall
wasn't the climax of the arc the tamatebako exploding?
Oliver Price
That's what they said 30 chapters ago
Nathaniel Cooper
>5 Months Hahaha no fucking way ano- >the cake base was finished in November Fuck
Joshua Long
Big Mom eats the cake and cries from flashbacks of Mother Caramel or some shit.
Kevin Jackson
>over 350 people love WCI arc Many keks.
Jackson Clark
>Literally Happens BRAVO YOU FUCKING HACK
Ian Moore
I don't think oda cares.
Ryder Reed
>Germa, the Fishman Pirates, Bege's crew and half of Luffy's crew are all that's required to beat Big Mom's entire armada Wow. The yonko sure seem like a huge threat now.
Justin Gonzalez
You have a point on the SHs verses the world. But they have been getting allies since the franky family.
Grayson Evans
4) Big Mum eats the cake and pulls an Enel face. Lock in 4.
Oliver Carter
Nah we're in the climax right now. Luffy defeats Katakuri, all BM pirates gathered to take them out, Germa going all out and Big Mom about to eat the cake.
Leo Diaz
>Literally Happens kek
John Perez
Make the deal with Pekoms, the Charlottes, and Sanji happen mostly offscreen, spend one panel on Sanji struggling with the Charlottes, and make the germa appear, cut right away, don't waste time showing off their power, back to Big Mom, she eats the cake, cut to Smoothie, she attacks Sanji carrying Luffy mid air, Judge shields him, and they land safely on the Sunny. There. In one chapter, I advanced the story more than Oda did in 5, by throwing unnecessary predictable shit out the window.
Isaac Thompson
Option 2 is not twist and would contradict Sanji being able to tell what ingredents the cake is done by just smell. Also would contradict the scene where Sanji gave Bege a taste and after he agreed the taste alone can kill Big Mom. #2 Is the one who has less chance of happening and that trully is hackwritting level of writting and the jobji jokes would never stop.
Also the Organophosphate that's in the KX is a gas that melts skin. That can't be added to the cake.
Christian Roberts
They are still weak compared to the top tiers. It will be ridiculous if they are able to compete against the top tiers just because they have two years of training. If oda goes that route. Admirals fans will be whining that their precious admirals get taken down so easily.
Nathaniel Hernandez
Coby took a bullet for Zoro while he was tied to the cross. Mrs. All Sunday pulled Luffy out of the quicksand. Kuma. The Franky Family helped a lot at Ennie's Lobby.
I mean Luffy set out in a barrel and immediately made a friend. It's kinda always been this way.
Brayden Clark
I just wish my favorite mangaka would step it up. i'm not getting any younger here...
So much for "pudding will shoot sanji" and the fake pudding spoiler. What kind of a retard was obsessed with evil Pudding so much anyway?
Justin Morgan
>Germa 66 children holds back the army in cacao island from chasing luffy >Judge and his fleet holds back Big Mom and the ships >Daifuku who's able to get close with his Stand is stopped by Sanji >Taiyou Pirates makes sure Strawhats escape. Well, it's not like Oda pull these out of his ass. But these are really convenient.
Colton Bell
Nothing will happen. They will just stall the big mom pirates for a while and then they will retreat.
The strawhats have gotten their asses whooped by anyone that matters since fucking Moira. THIS SHIT IS GETTING OLD.
Michael Martin
the sanafag
Ayden Moore
It is necessary for luffy to have allies. It won't make sense for luffy to solo the world with just his crew alone.
Justin Hall
>most serious face Kizaru ever makes. Even he's like holy shit didn't expect that.
Zachary Jenkins
Poisoning the cake would mean completely trumping Sanji's work and his major role and achievement this arc and I'm scared because that is so Oda-ish
Zachary Gray
>Expecting things from a hack
Jace Flores
Because of plot and luffy had a lot of help.
Isaac Rivera
Also we see Luffy's build up of popularity, its at least explained. But i do miss the days where it was Luffy being in the middle of 2 or more conflicting sides that arent focused on him. But luffy isnt getting away unscathed the ship took some heavy hits and they lost pedro that we know of and Luffy gaining Observation haki through a tough battle shows that Luffy didnt just waltz in and get away.
Wyatt Martinez
Yeah but Oda is reaching Fairy Tails levels, everything is too convenient and the main crew loses their meaning when they have so many allies. I understand this is for kids but still it seems like it's lowering the are more and more
Jaxon Lopez
>Option 2 is not twist
It's more of a twist than Option 1. Option 1 is literally the most predictable outcome.
>and would contradict Sanji being able to tell what ingredents the cake is done by just smell.
Oda specifically brought up the detail that Sanji can discern ingredients by smell. Why do you think that is? That could lend the possibility that Sanji can't detect ALL ingredients, especially those that are odorless and tasteless.
>Also would contradict the scene where Sanji gave Bege a taste and after he agreed the taste alone can kill Big Mom.
Bege could have added the organophosphate after the fact. So much of this arc takes place off screen and in various panels. Bege and his crew also have possession of the cake itself, and he is very, very far away from Sanji's watching eye. (Even if Chiffon is there, it's not like she would object to Bege putting it in the cake. She doesn't care if BM lives or dies. She only cares about fulfilling her debt to the Straw Hats.)
Bege is also the one to drop off the cake on the island. Do you really think BEGE of all people would just allow Big Mom to eat the cake without any repercussions?
>Also the Organophosphate that's in the KX is a gas that melts skin. That can't be added to the cake.
VX can be applied to food and water without complications. It stands to reason KX could also be applied to food. And Bege, being the very cautious man that he is (to the point that he doesn't want people who are dirty to see him), could easily apply KX into the cake without it making contact to himself.
Luis Scott
First wave Puddingfags. They ate up her first personality and felt betrayed when it turned to be bullshit, so now they assume she's still acting and they want her to be. Dumbasses.
Dylan Campbell
Go read naruto and bleach if you want the mc to solo everything in their way.
Wyatt Hill
I still believe Big Mom is going to die somehow. She will be the first DF user to die by drowning in the series.
Alexander Davis
They were stupid, a lot of things were left hanging and all the issues that the SH were facing back then have now been solved
Anthony Smith
Perospero is right there. He wouldn't let her drown. And the cake is on the island.
Zachary Smith
>loses their meaning when they have so many allies You retard, the yonko have armies and several fleets under them, that's the heirarchy required to be able to compete with them.
Straw Hats are basically Katamari Damacy.
Levi Jones
And there is no consequences, Sun Pirates Helping would mean to anger a fucking Yonkou so Fishman island should be in danger
Logan Harris
A 600 chapter build up is fucking stupid. Read Vagabond if you want to see an MC gain strength in an ideal manner.
Landon Stewart
That sounds like the most stupid chapter I have imagined in my life. It's so dumb it deserves to be analized. >Make a deal with Pekoms How many panels? One page? What's in the deal, what he gains and what he bets? The deal include the Charlottes? If so why? How would they agree? Why is it not showed? Will it be showed in the future? >One panel for Sanji struggling Why would he be struggling? Did the deal go sour? >Not showing Germa's powers So introducing characters and not do anything with them? Pointless characters then. >Big Mom eats the cake How and where? Did Bege left it on an island? On the sea? Did Big Mom took it? >Judge shields him Why would he sacrifice his own body for them if he is not trying to hurt the enemy? That contradicts his character and also why would he use his own body? He still has the disposable army at his control.
