We haven't seen chapter with so much action in it in quite some time. Also Carrot's power is quite different from any of the powers we have seen so far in OP and I really like that, I thought I would be disappointed by the full moon but was I wrong
On another note about for the people who say all minks have this power I don't think that's the case. Even if they all have the potential I think that only the most skilled among them can learn it and probably Carror will find a way to use it not only at full moon cuz it will be to strange to be able to fight against strong opponents only once in month |

I considered posting this in the SBS thread, but it's likely to get more attention here. Anyway, Oda had a special message at this year's Jump Festa! As translated by AP's Sandman:

^My, sounds exciting! Wonder if the character Oda's teasng is the eyepatch pirate he hinted at several years back...? Last edited by marvelB; 2017-12-17 at 13:39. |

It's definitly a weird message.
If anything, Wano climax itself should be the war that make marineford look like it was cute and not some prelude to it. But he also already introduced the legend that they will fight there... Kaido. So it sounds like he isn't about talking Kaido at all. Weevil, the only Whitebeard relationship we currently know of, was already introduced as well... And honestly, he shouldn't be that powerful if Kaido is waiting there with 3 calamities already+Shogun+500 Zoan Users + endless armies of normal pirates + army of Samurais.. Another option eliminated: Marco being a legend? don't make me laugh..... A legend could be a brother of Edward who joined Roger's crew, the one who visited Crocus. Rayleigh was also titled as Legend. So that would make sense... somewhat. But he shouldn't be the 'greatest enemy' ever too if he already talked with Crocus. It's just so confusing unless he means Kaido, but doesn't think of him being properly introduced yet. |

^I am pretty sure he is talking about Blackbeard. He is the only one connected to Whitebeard that would fit "The greatest enemy ever" and I don't think that it will be some random character we haven't seen so far.
P.S. I am also really hyped to finally see Zoro again and to enter Wano arc, it is painfull to read so long only about half of the crew and it is even more painfull when half of the time the manga is focused on angst (I prefer when it is fun and epic ) Edit: Oda might also talk about Kaido if he show some connection between him and Whitebeard in the new chapters, but I think that the chances are better for BB to be the greatest enemy. |

Sandman slightly edited his translation of Oda's message, so I followed suit. Anyway, my take on the message was that Oda was referring to a completely new character (like Scopper Gaban from Roger's crew or, again, possibly the eyepatch pirate he teased many years back). However, Sandman brought up something interesting over at AP: Apparently, many in the Japanese fandom think that the "legend" Oda speaks of isn't actually a person, per se. Instead, it could be a reference to Whitebeard's dying speech at Marineford about how the lost history would spark a war far greater than the one from that arc. In other words, the "greatest enemy" that Luffy and co. will have to face is literally history itself. And I guess Oda is saying that the impetus for this massive event will take place at Wano (or possibly the Reverie?).......

Somehow it's sounds a bit exaggerating.
It the Straw Hats already overcome their greatest enemy during the next year, then how is the rest of the story going to keep interessting? Everybody will know that everything that's still to come is a lesser threat… |

If you compare the two halves of the story:
- East Blue/Fishmen Island; - First part of Grand Blue/Punk Hazard & Dressrosa; - Sky Islands/Zou; - Robin Retrieval/Sanji Retrieval; - Thiller Bark/Next Arc - Whitebeard War/Wano Country I think - the actual arc will finish around chapter 900 (march 2018); - the next arc will be about Luffy helping Nekomamushi group to find Marco; - in last part of the year Luffy will go toward Wano Country |
