One Piece - Chapter 1001 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Boy, it's been a pretty crazy start so far, but Happy New Year, nonetheless! Currently we've got a brief spoiler summary, courtesy of AP's Redon: -Chapter title is "Onigashima's decisive monster battle". Splash features Jinbei. -Kaidou is shocked that Luffy was able to damage him, as very few people in the world can go toe to toe with him. In fact, as he looks at the rubber man, he sees the shadows of Roger, Whitebeard, Oden, and Rocks! The emperor then uses his Raimei Hakke/Thunder Bagua technique, but Luffy, using observation haki, is able to DODGE it this time! -....At least, partially, anyway. Kaidou was still a bit too fast for him to dodge completely. Big Mom follows up with a fire attack, but Zoro steps in, slicing Prometheus in half using Kinemon's fox fire technique (which he admits he stole)! As the battle continues, the three supernova captains begin squabbling again, before BM attacks them with fireballs! Luffy bets them that the first one to get hit is a scrub, but it looks like all three of them get hit at the same time, heh. -Zoro (who puts on the bandanna,) squabbles with Killer, whom he recognizes as "Kamazou" due to his laugh. Nonetheless, they team up against Kaidou, though it seems their attacks do negligible damage. The captains follow up with their own team attacks, as well! It's at this point that the two emperors get serious: Big Mom envelops her sword Napoleon in flames, while Kaidou transforms into dragon form! The king of beasts considers it a waste to kill the supernovas, but it can't be helped.... and after he finishes them off, he'll take their crews, treasures, AND Poneglyphs! Ultimately, the winner of this battle will be one step closer to becoming Pirate King....!!!!! -BTW, for those unaware.... the latest OP popularity poll is underway! But seeing as this is part of the celebration for 1000+ chapters, there's a special twist: THE ENTIRE WORLD CAN PARTICIPATE THIS TIME!!!!! As the page states, fans can vote their favorite character once a day until the polls close (which is on Feb. 28th), so make as many votes as you can over the next month and a half.... you may see your character make the top spot!

yeah Law is weak compared to the others, but i'd like to see Kidd go all out, wonder what other forms does he have. Zoro, Kidd, Law, Killer together could probably take out Big Mom, but I don't know about Kaido. I was hoping to see Zoro and King but maybe that could still happen.

Okay, summary updated! It's a supernova vs. emperor free-for-all! Also, it's not quite Zoro vs. Sanji, but Ramero will probably appreciate all the supernova squabbling, nonetheless! Amusingly, Killer even claims that he would have slain Zoro in their earlier fight if he had his original weapons. Anyway, I'm still wondering when we'll finally see Kaidou in his hybrid form.....

If only Sanji take Killer's position... Update: Oh wow... It's like Sabaody Arc all over again where the Captains at the auction challenge each other. Last edited by Ramero; 2021-01-15 at 05:46. |

Oh God, that panel of Luffy, Kid and Law "dodging" the fireballs has to be one of the most hilarious things Oda has ever put to page. I had to take a moment to compose myself from laughing and crying so hard.

Also I forgot, why doesn’t Law’s hax power work on the stronger characters? Do they have a Resting Haki state? Last edited by Tommy; 2021-01-15 at 15:12. |

Yep, this battle is indeed kicking off to a great start! Though personally I'd say that Luffy getting grazed by Kaidou's attack despite foreseeing it with his haki (and getting shambled by Law for the following strike) further supports my argument that it's still a bit soon for him to take on the emperor solo. Not that he currently doesn't make for a formidable opponent, of course.... otherwise, Kaidou wouldn't begin to group him with those other legends like Roger, WB, and Rocks. But it's still going to boil down to a collaborative effort between the Worst Generation pirates if they're going to topple these two emperors....
Oh, and I gotta say, I'm loving that robot/armor Kid created for himself! And speaking of robots, I'm actually kinda hoping the next chapter returns focus on Franky vs. Sasaki. Been a good while since the cyborg had a good solo fight! Sure, him running over Big Mom was cool and all, but I crave something more, y'know? |

Thinking about Punk Hazard, it's crazy how OP Law was in that arc. I assume it is some kind of resting Haki with powerful people, because Law could just switch Kaidou and Big Mom's personalities (although it would be wiser to switch them into kids or old people if possible since they're basically the same level of monster lol). But he obviously can't do stuff like that to this level of an opponent. |
