One Piece - Chapter 916 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Let's do this! Credit goes to AP's Redon for the info: -Chapter title is "Great Sumo Match in the Wano Country". Splash is a color page. -Urashima is naturally enraged after Okiku humiliated him, and strikes out at her! However, Luffy intercepts and blocks the attack! The rubber man is then introduced as a sumo wrestler.... whose track record is total victory against Usopp, lol. He says Urashima is free to punish Okiku if he can beat him, but is pretty confident that he won't. The match is now underway....!!! -Meanwhile, Holdem pinches Tama's cheeks in order to activate her ability, but it doesn't work. In fact, he only succeeds in making the poor girl upset. The headliner then talks about the Kouzuki clan, saying they were an evil clan who tried to destroy Wano 20 years ago..... -Hawkins is briefed on the situation, and warns his men not to fight Luffy. We then briefly see Law and his crew. It turns out the Heart Pirates captain has been working incognito as a doctor, and is now tending to Bepo, who ate some fish from the poisoned rivers. Back to Luffy, he thrashes Urashima, sending the sumo champion flying. In fact, Urashima ends up crashing straight into Holdem's base! Luffy's group then call out for the thugs to bring out their boss, and starts beating them up! Shortly, Holdem appears before them, and his lion is holding Tama in his mouth! The situation becomes even more complicated as Hawkins draws nearer, whose attention was drawn by all the ruckus! Law only becomes more annoyed by Luffy's antics now that he knows Hawkins is involved.....!!!! Last edited by marvelB; 2018-08-31 at 04:28. |

To 99.9% of the World, Usopp would present an insurmountable obstacle. It is only among the pirate crews capable of traversing the New World, that Usopp is not a top tier fighter, and even then, only among higher levels of Emperor and Supernova crews where he might not be seen as a contender for the top ranks. And, yes, Luffy did win against Usopp, but it was not a painless victory. |

Not sure if there have been actual sumo matches outside manga. |

Okay, updated the summary a bit! Interestingly, Hawkins seems somewhat wary of Luffy at this point. Also, kinda related to the events of last chapter, but Zoro flat-out tells Okiku that he WON'T watch her back. Heh, makes me curious to see how Sanji would react to that? Anyway, that's two headliners with Hawkins and Holdem, but what about the third guy, Speed.....?

BTW, I dunno about anyone else, but Luffy's finisher against Urashima kinda reminds me of the Bazooka he used on Wapol so long ago..... |
