One Piece - Chapter 834 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Early summary is out! Credit goes to YonkouProductions over at AP: -Chapter title is "My dream". Splash features Boa Hancock. -Sanji looks angrily at the cuffs he's forced to wear. Meanwhile, at the capital of Whole Cake Island, the people are discussing the local newspaper. According to the papers, after Jinbei declared his intention of leaving Big Mom, he went back on his words out of fear after learning of the "price" he had to pay. The people ridicule him, calling him a spineless wimp, but Brooke and Pedro, both of whom are in disguise, feel there's something fishy about the article. Soon enough, the two of them spot Pudding with Baron Tamago, who seem to be shopping for a wedding dress. As they eavesdrop on Tamago speaking to his subordinates, they find out that Big Mom is well-informed of Luffy's movements. Interestingly, it also turns out that Tamago intends to ask Big Mom to pardon Pekoms once he finds him.... -Northeast of Whole Cake Island, Pekoms is being chased by Capone's crew. Among them are Capone's wife (22nd daughter of BM, Charlotte Chiffon), and his infant son, Capone Gang Petz (or Pets). They have the mink cornered at a cliff. Capone once again tells Pekoms that human compassion is useless for pirates, but in turn Pekoms tells him not to underestimate Big Mom. Soon, a shot is fired, and the lion man falls down the cliff, where several sharks are waiting below.... -Back to Big Mom herself, she inquires Caesar as to his research. She wants him to create drugs that can give regular people giant-like bodies so she can spend more time with her family at eye-level, but Caesar had spent all the money she gave him on booze and women. The scientist says in his head that such research would be impossible to successfully complete, but lies to BM that he would have completed it were it not for the Straw-Hats. Unfortunately, Charlotte tells him that she already has a new lab much like the one from Punk Hazard prepared for him. He's quickly put to work under the supervision of Big Mom's eldest son, Perosupero. He's a "candy craftsman" who also has the powers of the Pero Pero no Mi ("pero" being the onomatopoeia for licking). He's also in possession of Caesar's heart! He tells the scientist that he has two weeks to complete the drug for them, or else he'll be turned into candy and eaten.... -Back at the Seducing Woods, Luffy is still in a pickle. He gathers together more "clones" of his friends....!!! Last edited by marvelB; 2016-07-28 at 15:31. |

Okay, updated the summary a bit. So Capone's also married to one of BM's daughters (that chick who resembles Lola), and even has a son! Tamago is concerned about Pekoms after all! Caesar would rather party with chicks than make weapons for Big Mom! More confusing clone crap in the forest! All this and more, coming to a chapter near you!

Yes she would have to be or at least obsessed and insane, to make this far in the Pirate World. The only thing I'm interested in right now is the Vinsmoke part of this, everything else in the story is pretty dull. Hopefully this arc ends around 860-870.

So Gang Bege wants to overtake Big Mom's position as a Yonko but i don't think he will reach that because the crew that can foil that is either Big Mom's Lieutenants or surprisingly Straw Hats.
Look at Pedro and Brook's reaction towards Luffy's in peril but they have mission to be done anyway. |

He was clearly doing shady things, why make them addicts to make them WANT to stick around? And i do remember Law or someone else in that arc talking about the government in the past experimenting with turning people into Giants. The only thing that Caesar revealed was that it was Big Mom asking him to do it, not Doffy or the government.

My, I quite enjoyed this chapter! As already said, it's cool that we got an explanation for the giant kids at PH. Also, it's not much, but I actually liked that Tamago cares enough for Pekoms to attempt to get him pardoned. I wonder if he'll also become an ally? I mean, I highly doubt he'd be too happy to learn about Capone turning the lion into shark food, after all....
And yeah, more suspicious towards Pedro arise. It's still unclear as to whether or not he's friend or foe, but there's definitely something up with him. After all, the intel report specifically pointed out the whereabouts of Luffy's group, but not Pekoms or the Brooke/Pedro duo. And seeing as Pedro separated from Luffy at the coast near the forest..... well, that certainly matches up with the extent of knowledge that the jaguar man WOULD know at this point, so.... yeah. Still, if he is a traitor, then he's one darn good actor, since he looked genuinely shocked from that report.... |

Also, to very little surprise Charlotte was Bm's daughter. Only thing is, I wonder why she didn't have anyone strong enough to at least hold off Moria back at the time. Also, what was she doing in paradise? |

This is the thread for the current chapter we just read which has the Big Mom information in it. What else could I be talking about? The explanation for Caesar doing that particular experiment was Big Mom ordering him to do it to make people like her in size. It's not that difficult a concept to grasp.

If law was just there to screw that over why was he hanging out there for so long, and gave his heart to Ceasar? With his powers and haki, no one really could have opposed him in PH, and he could have easily destroyed the factory and bailed without Doffy finding out.
There's more to the reason as to why he was there in the first place... |
