One Piece Chapter 844 Discussion

Aww. Well that was sweet. Clearly can see how much he cares about Sanji.

I liked this chapter, and I do agree that this arc is going SO much better than Dressrosa (which I didn't really like) and, imo, Zou as well, though I don't really get why a lot of people here are getting so emotional towards this scene to the point of apparently crying, as I didn't really find it that emotional. Frankly, I find it heartwarming instead (and not really in the sad way), as it brought a smile to my face to see how much he cares about him.

I feel more impatient with this exchange than the feels. Nami ought to have pieced together what's going on by now, having pulled the exact same act herself before, and maybe thats what the slap and goodbye was about near the end. Obviously Luffy won't get it unless it's spelled out to him and taking the attacks without fighting back was totally expected of him... however the ending seemed incredibly out of place and out of character, just throwing a tantrum and saying he wont move or eat until he comes back? Is that really how Luffy would act in this situation? He's smart enough to tell Sanji is lying, but not smart enough to know why, so he should at least be able to tell there's a reason.

To be honest I assumed with Sanji's speech about joining the "winning side", this chapter was going to end with a badass Luffy proclamation that he'll just have to beat Big Mom's ass to remind Sanji who the Pirate King will be to bring him back, thus giving the crew a bit more solid reason to actually fight Big Mom. What we got was... disappointing in comparison. If he actually sticks to what he's saying he's going to do here, that basically leaves everything up to Sanji to help himself out of those cuffs and resolve his entire situation on his own just to be able to return there. Here's hoping Nami has figured shit out and will talk some sense into him after they've left.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but I liked Dressrossa. Well, I did see the whole thing in two weeks and didn't have to wait for it, but, being dragged out aside, for me it was a great arc. One of my favorites, actually. That being said this one starts pretty fucking awesome and depending on what happens, it might be way better. I hope Big mom will reach and surpass Doflamingo in epicness.

The best part was:"Without you, I can't become the Pirate King"

That was as epic as "I want you" Griffith said only to Guts.

This was too much for one chapter T-T

Can't wait to see this adaptated :)

"To know why" is impossible if Sanji didn't tell him, you know. Neither Luffy nor Nami know Zeff is held hostage by Big Mom nor did he know much about Sanji's family situation, he sure could said "I'll kick Big Mom and your papa ass, so don't leave us", but that still not enough to save Zeff. One mistake, and Judge could command his soldier to kill Zeff.

It's not as easy as you said.

I like it this way, Luffy did not act carelessly nor did he leave everything to Sanji, he just wait until Sanji himself tell him what happened. Luffy has matured...

That must mean Sanji will leave about two years from this point. It's confirmed.

MC of a Shounen manga never goes back on his words. I can imagine Sanji sacrificing his hands, crying while cooking with a ladle in his mouth. They can always go back to Mansherry for some heals.

I feel super bad for Sanji.

I get where Nami was coming from but she should have just stayed out of it, her smacking him after all they've been through together, really? Oda does a great job in making me hate her.

tripofwhitebeard said:
Nani went to far? She smacked after he mercilessly beat on a Luffy that wouldn't fight back. You're using your knowledge and projecting it on her. All she knows is they went through hell to get to him only for him to demean them and then attack Luffy. Even if it's clearly a farce to Luffy and maybe even Nami nobody forced Sanji to keep attacking.

Vongola said:


Except he is forced to do it because of his family and Luffy more than obviously realized that and he's an airhead. Nami should have realized it too but still lashed out at him. They have been together for a LONG TIME, everyone in the crew knows they'd never do that to each other willingly.

tripofwhitebeard said:
Luffy realizes Sanji is lying. Nami Probably does too but the point is nobody is forcing Sanji to mercilessly beat on Luffy. Did you see anyone say he had to do that? Nami smacked him one time because he deserves it for putting his friends through hell but they are still trusting him to handle it himself. One slap from NAMI the least powerful hand to hand fighter in the crew does not compare to multiple Diablo attacks Fromm Sanji at all.

Vongola said:


The point of the statement was why did she even do it to begin with. Because Sanji was beating on Luffy made it okay for her to slap him? Lol okay, I guess. I'm not going into a debate about whether he was forced to do it or not, I'll just assume because he actually cares about Luffy he did it so his family wouldn't get involved. If Luffy threw down right there with his family he + Nami would have undoubtedly lost and he wouldn't be able to help with the restraint they have on him.

The most emotional seen....if you didn't cry ....reading this chapter ur not human..

Aren't you assuming Sanji is protecting his own hands due to Luffy's actions? LOL. What reason would his father blow off his hands for something Luffy is doing? Again, matter of perspective, you are saying it was fine Nami slapped Sanji for his actions (idc if it was her weak hand, why does that even matter), while I personally would have preferred for her to just stay out - honestly I would have liked it better if she wasn't even around for stuff like this.

You can say I'm assuming on Sanji's motives but Luffy had just gotten out of a battle and caught up to Sanji so he was already tired out and clearly he was beat up. I'll keep thinking Sanji did it because he cares for Luffy. Not to mention even Luffy was saying Sanji was holding back as his attacks kept getting stronger.
