One Piece - Chapter 927 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Okay, a small spoiler summary is out via AP's Redon: -Chapter title is "O-Toko, the Kamuro" (an assistant of oiran, or Japanese courtesans). Splash page features Garp. -Usopp, Robin, and Franky hang out at Sanji's soba cart. As seen in the previous chapter, the customers are mainly women. However, as business is booming, the henchmen of Kyoushirou (that one vassal of the shogun who was introduced back in chapter 919, who's revealed to be a yakuza boss) come along and start bullying everyone, kicking over Sanji's soba pot and making a little girl drop her bowl of food. Naturally, Sanji is none too pleased to see his food getting wasted, so he and Franky beat down the bullies! After taking care of the thugs, Sanji gives another bowl to the girl, who enjoys the dish. She introduces herself as Toko, a kamuro. Toko leaves after finishing the meal, but not without telling Sanji's group to check out the courtesan procession that's passing through town later. It's at this point that Robin's geisha boss appears, who informs the group of the top courtesan who's practically an idol in this country..... Komurasaki. Toko works for her, and she's on her way to the shogun's banquet! Incidentally, Robin's boss arranged for her to meet the shogun at his castle, as well....!!! -Kyoushirou learns of his men getting beaten up. However, as he'll be busy attending the shogun's banquet, he orders his men to contact Queen of Kaidou's Disasters to send an assassin to take care of the troublemakers who offended him. Speaking of the shogun, Kurozumi Orochi himself finally appears at the end of the chapter.... in silhouette form, anyway. Interestingly, it would seem that he takes on the form of his namesake, making him an Orochi Mystical Zoan! He wishes to woo the courtesan idol Komurasaki on this very day....

Okay, updated the summary a bit! So, an idol courtesan, eh? Sounds like another potential candidate for Momonosuke's long-lost sister to me! And geez, new mythical Zoans are popping up left and right this arc.... all Asian-themed, at that (Dragon, Ninetails, and now Orochi!?). At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if King and/or Queen are mythical Zoans, too (actually, I can sorta see King being a tengu zoan, but I'm just basing that on the wings.... but then again, we already have a tengu character with Tama's master, so maybe not).
BTW, I forgot to include it in the thread title earlier, but: NO CHAPTER NEXT WEEK! |

It feels like i want to play Warriors Orochi again, with Coalition army vs Orochi Army in the end. Still, i want to see how Franky joins in beating henchmen. He should have gone to the woodwork or maybe upgrading the shop for Sanji at that time.

Thanks, LKK!
Anyway, updated the summary once again now that the chapter's out! Yeah, I loved seeing Franky suplex that one thug! Guess he learned a fair bit from ol' Pink, huh? Anyway, now we know that Robin was also invited to Orochi's banquet..... I know it's a long shot, but I'd kinda love to see her take him on by herself (maybe by cracking all of his necks at once, heh). Yes, yes, I'm sure Komurasaki will turn out to be an above-average clone. Though I'd be more impressed if Oda can make her stand out without making her a Nami/Robin copypasta.... |

no way... komurasaki is most likely an ugly one
because Oda is always introducing a beautiful girl without any hype like what he did in this chapter it might be another okama just to make Sanji disappointed |

Good idea. Perhaps she could be a rival to Shirahoshi as well. |
