One Piece - Chapter 849 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Let's do this! Credit goes to AP's Sandman for the spoiler: -Chapter title is "Bropper in Mirror World". The splash page, apparently, consists of heroes from other Jump manga cosplaying as One Piece characters. -In the mirror world, Brulee is about to throw Carrot into the boiling pot. However, little does Big Mom's daughter know.... the Carrot she's about to cook is not the real Carrot! It looks like the mink used Brulee's own ability against her and substituted herself with a frog that happens to have Carrot's appearance! The real rabbit girl is hiding in Brulee's attic. Soon, she makes a sneak attack! During her assault, she saves the disguised frog, then knocks over the pot, splashing Brulee with scalding hot water! Randolph, the enemy rabbit warrior, ends up getting wet as well, and is soon shocked by Carrot's Electro. As for Chopper, he breaks free from his bonds by transforming, then eats a Rumble Ball, proceeding to go on a rampage in his monster form. Now he and Carrot have managed to take control of Brulee's mirror world....!!!! -At Sanji's room, he's cooking a meal for a depressed Pudding. Meanwhile, Brooke's treasure heist suddenly becomes much more complicated: as Big Mom herself suddenly appears in front of him! Apparently, she got hold of the room's key from one of her soldiers (spoiler doesn't specify any further, but I guess she used her ability to get inside). Outside, in the courtyard, Pedro faces Tamago. As it turned out, when the mink was last captured 5 years ago, he had FIFTY YEARS of his lifespan stolen from him by Big Mom....!!! -Elsewhere at the castle, we see Sanji's sister Reiju, who.... is covered in blood...!!? |

Some pics are out. Beat up Reiju is confirmed, after all.... Seems the popular consensus regarding that is that she was attacked by Capone's gang. Guess that would make sense, what with all the theories about the supernova potentially staging a mutiny against Big Mom. He'd have to be damned confident to pull that off, though.... I mean, can the army in his body really be compared to the combined might of Big Mom/Germa's armies?
What else.... oh yeah, it looks like both Pedro and Tamago are missing an eye. Guess that's the result of their previous scuffle during Pedro's first invasion. But more than anything, I'm most interested in seeing Brooke vs. Big Mom.... I want to know for certain whose soul power is the superior one. |

I more expect of Gang Bege to attack Reiju about it..
But you know Gang Bege's ability is also a weaknesses.. If Sanji can kick Bege while the entire crew was inside him, the damage can be very brutal. Soul Stealer vs Soul King, i wonder what Big Mom do about Brook anyway |

I've read somewhere that this arc is already halfway done. Kinda hard to believe... but the way things are moving, I can't see it being as long as, say, Dressrosa.
Pedro's confrontation with Tamago reminds me of Brook vs. Ryuma. Won't be surprised if he joins the crew, especially if Big Mom goes down and he regains his stolen lifespan. |

Capone was my first thought, Pudding was my "ridiculous back up theory" in case it's not Capone.
I feel like this is the first chapter where the situation doesn't feel hopeless for the SH, with bropper/chobro successfully beating Brulee and now having, pretty much, free access to the castle through the mirror world. Because of that this being the half way through the arc doesn't feel far-fetched.

FYI, it's the magazine that goes on holiday break next week, not just Oda.... that's usually case around this time of year. Another holiday break will come along in a couple of weeks. But on the plus side, that tends to mean that Santa delivers us the gift of early spoilers! Quote:
Eh, Pedro doesn't really strike me as Straw-Hat material, honestly. He's not really.... distinctive enough, I'd say (he's basically like a jaguar version of Lucci's zoan form). Carrot shows way more potential, but honestly, I'm not entirely confident about her chances, either.... |
