I'm surprised how easily Luffy adapted to all the politicing of the New World.

Luffy doesn't need much to become a friend with someone. Also he's pissed because Bege was the one who took Sanji. it makes sense.
As for the flip flopping - it's wierd, but it might get elaborated later on. Luffy's logic can be bizzare sometimes.


That´s not in question here and regardless. If we as the audience were to accept Luffy´s logic as "bizzare". This Manga would be godawful, because it´d be an universally applicable excuse for everything he does. Luffy has a defined character as retarded as he may be and this chapter he contradicted himself within the span of 2 panels.

The contradiction within this chapter lies in the fact that he immediately changes his mind from "hating" Capone to becoming willing to cooperate with him in the timespan of a few seconds.

It´s obvious that Luffy considers Pekoms a friend to an extend, but it´s bad writing to let Luffy go from hating someone for hurting Pekoms,who he cannot be close enough to have this motivation for, to working with the same guy he hated mere seconds ago.

It was amazing writing when he teamed up with Crocodile for the sake of saving his brothers life. It made sense back then. Crocodile was a person Luffy did hate, but he put his feelings aside for the sake of his brother and their quarrel was already fairly far in the past.Even Vivi who was hurt directly through crocodile´s actions considered Luffy´s decision as necessary and trusted in it.

This chapter however is nonsensical bullshit. Even if it turns out that he´s been acting. To deceive who? The Strawhats who they are his friends? Brulee, who they have captured and wants them dead anyway?

Go ahead, I dare you to refute this argument.

He might have simply listened to Jinbe. There's even dialogue(from Nami) suggesting that he agreed BECAUSE it was Jinbe's idea. After post-marineford and the quarrel on Fishman Island, maybe he simply learned to listen to Jinbe. After all he seems to be taking the old, wise, experienced guy position in the crew, so he might become the only guy in the crew that Luffy listens to, and that will be his "thing".

Also, Jinbe's gag seems to be having extremely vague "strategies" that are incomplete and supposed to just sort themselves out on the way, and that he wants to name( I mean, it happened only once, on FI, but this is also the only gag-like thing he did, ever). So it would certainly be the gag - Jinbe has some vague plan with not much planning behind it, and Luffy always agrees to them, no matter how stupid they are, because he sees Jinbe as the wise guy.

Whoa whoa whoa, you're telling me that Luffy is about to make another alliance with another supernova? Nice. So when we'll get Kidd - Luffy - Law alliance again to fight Kaido?

This chapter have a lot of info dump for Capone Bege. It's nice though since we haven't learn all that much about the other 8 supernovas, other than Law, Luffy and Zoro.

What bugs me is that... they're fighting Big Mom without the usual full Strawhats team. I know they had 2 years of screen time compared to Nami, Brook, Chopper and Sanji, but you guys can't really start a fight with Big Mom without your strongest fighter that fought in Dressrosa. Not to mention, Big Mom had more armies than Doffy did, so it'd be crazy if those 8 + Capone Bege will do any damage to Big Mom.

This could be interesting. I find it unlikely though that Kid will able to get free after he got stomped then imprisoned by Kaido. Alternatively, a possible alternative with Hawkins/Scratchmen Apoo instead?

Great chapter as usual

LOL at Nami's speech bubble piercing poor Sanji right through his heart! xD It's not like he didn't deserve it though

I don't like the idea of the Strawhats teaming up with Bege's crew, he's too much of backstabber type. Luffy is one dense dude, but surely he's not dumb enough to fully trust this guy.

Good chapter to come back to after the break.

It's nice to see more of the supernovas and their backgrounds. Also great to see Jinbe being the voice of reason saying that going against big mom is impossible with the number of people they currently have. This potential alliance will be an interesting one, the Fire Tank-Straw Hat-Vinsmoke alliance.

I really want to see just how strong Ichiji, Niji and Judge are when they go all out too. Can't wait to see what happens at the wedding itself.

This has the potential to be the worst arc in all of One Piece The chapter in itself was an exposition train, well drawn decent pacing.

But, here are it´s problems

1. We all knew Capone wanted to take down Big Mom, everything was already set in stone, this level of exposition wasn´t required,

No..we didn't. We didn't *know*, anyway. It maybe was obvious, but it wasn't stated "in stone".

the only actual development, that wasn´t repetition, of former content was Luffy flip flopping between hating Capone to agreeing to work with him in the timespan of 15 seconds.

Being the Goku clone he is, Luffy doesn't really understand the concept of critical thinking. This is well established.

2. If Capone fails, Oda only proofs what everyone expected already and this was predictable and boring. The only quality to come out of his betrayal, could be a display of Big Mom´s abilities, when she destroys Capone.

3. If Big Mom actually loses even through backstabbing, this is atrocious payoff for her buildup. Fairy Tail level of badness.

If Capone actually defeats suceeds in defeating Big Mom, not killing her, this is the worst arc in One Piece and everyone with an ounce of dignity should downgrade this series, although it´s barely probable.

Who dies in One Piece?

But meh, I doubt she's going to defeated anytime soon. Not nearly enough buildup yet for Big Mom to be defeated right now (if she's *defeated* at all) and we still haven't solved the issue of the fact that she has hostages. A Big Mom defeat is the last possible thing.

And, I don't think Bege's betrayal was blatantly obvious or anything, but even if it was, being set up is a *good thing*. So the events that happen don't seem spontaneous. I've always had a feeling Big Mom's comeuppance would come from betrayal in some manner, considering she treats all her allies(and family) awfully.

How about the fact that he almost killed Pekoms?


Yes, because Pekoms has that much of a relationship with the Strawhats.

So many interactions they had, so much he did for them and on top of that he´s a loyal Big Mom supporter who Luffy intends to take down and let´s not forgett that he immediately forgave Bege to announce excited that they will work together.


Bullshit, you don't know to know someone for ages or be extremely close as to not get angry when you learn they where shot when you knew them and liked them. Luffy met him and liked the guy and doesn't need much for Luffy to get angry at someone that behaves shitty.
You just always try to play the intellectual critic expert when all you say are bullshit. Now please remember to make another stupid fairy tail comparison to entertain us.

It's really funny when people said "He'll failed anyway so it's predictable".
The statement can't get anymore retarded than it already is.
Well Luffy WILL definiitely become a pirate king so it's predictable, right? So why bother reading this at all?lol


Exactly. I mean he will find One Piece whatever it is at the end right. then let's not bother reading at all because it was all so damn expected and predictable.
This people wouldn't know about writing a story even if it hit them with a cannonball.

Sounds like a sensible plan, as long as Bege doesn't betray them or something.

Oh teaming up with Bege is a turn I wasn't expecting. It does indeed make sense and I hope it works out. Luffy shouldn't trust him too much though this isn't Law.
