What if Luffy is going to kick the Grim Reaper's ass for going after Zoro, or at least is there to watch Zoro slice him down and then the two do the bro walk back to their bodies?

I'M BORED

No seriously, this chapter was predictable. GET TO THE FINAL WAR ARC AND START THE BODY COUNT.

...Not that it'll happen, even though by that point Oda will have nothing left to lose.

No seriously, if Wano ends like this then it means there was nothing at fucking stake and that everyone could figure out how it would end. If a bunch of no names on both sides had bit the dust during the fight in Kaido's mansion I'd be cool with it but right now it feels like a lot of buildup was laid out but never followed up on. I'm wondering if that was all done exclusively for the weekly readers in Japan who buy the magazine and don't think too much about One Piece specifically until the next issue comes out.

I wonder whose birthday is today.........

Um... Stansen and Koze? The first guy is the shipwright of the New Giant Warrior Pirates (Hajrudin's crew), and the second is one of two guys defeated by Tashigi in her introduction.

Kohza's birthday was yesterday, though.

Pretty sure that means we aren't done with Wano yet. I don't think we are leaving Wano with the borders still closed since getting rid of Kaido, bringing joyboy to Wano and opening the borders have been the entire point of the arc so far.

As for whether it will need Luffy's protection. Probably not. It's ruled by a Samurai Dragon after all.

Yeah, Momo announcing that he’s going to keep Wano safe by having it stay closed feels like it’s designed to backfire (my money is that this somehow screws Zunesha over, that elephant has so many death flags) considering that Wano’s closed borders didn’t actually stop Kaido the first time, and the WG said they planned to invade on the off chance Kaido failed.

Plus at the moment there’s an interesting parallel with Momo and Orochi with how Momo is being presented as kinda getting the credit for a victory that was actually one by a pirate. It feels like a set up for Momo needing to put his money where his mouth is if he really wants to be shogun.

An incredible conclusion chapter. That Victory music that normally plays during these times played in my head reading the entire time.

I’m rather mixed on if Kaido and Big Mom are both truly over. In particular I noticed Zeus in the Chapter. Isn’t he still part of Big Mom’s soul? I know Linlin did “Kill” him and he became apart of the Clima Tact but this still seems fishy.

That being said, I’m expecting a big twist soon, and I honestly think it’s gonna be Drama involving Zoro.

I’m really beginning to worry about that Grim Reaper thing. Back then it was easy to joke that the Grim Reaper was just Brook, but this is the first time the crew is acknowledging something isn’t right with Zoro.

That and, while this might be a stretch, Big Mom’s silhouette in the magma looks to be a top-down perspective - perfectly round with no visible legs, the points of her hair encircling most of the form rather than at a distinct point where her head should be - an as though she’s standing upright.

It was actually funny that so many people were joking about the grim reaper when it first showed up, since Oda was dropping hints from the start that something was up. It’s rare to see Zoro terrified, much less plead for mercy, and Zoro saying “who the hell are you” when it shows up suggested that he’s actually worse off than he was at the end of Thriller Bark.

I also think it’s an interesting development since the “impossible” aspect of Zoro’s dream that many Straw Hat dreams share was never whether or not he can beat Mihawk, but whether or not his accomplishments can transcend the mortal coil and reach the afterlife. It’s never really been addressed directly, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that‘s what it’s leading to. There’s also those dangling plot threads regarding Zoro visiting Ryuma’s grave in Ringo, Ringo being one giant graveyard, possibly more Onimaru, and the running theme of people going to Ringo when they’re near death. So it seems fitting for Zoro also being at death’s door.

Yes. I was always convinced Momo would have to do something more and with him deciding to keep the borders closed I'm now 110% sure he will. Oda could not have signalled 'Things aren't done' any louder.

The Straw Hats are not leaving Wano without opening the borders and making sure Wano will not be attacked.

So, the war with the Marines is next, then?
So much for Elbaf and/or Blackbeard
 
Typically, Oda alternates between Pirate opponents and Marine opponents. I fully expect to see a major Marine presence wherever the Straw Hats go next, but I don't think we're going to see the big war until Luffy is ready to go to Laugh Tale (or after Luffy finds the One Piece).

I would like a Vegapunk arc, but most likely it will be more boring CP0 shit.

I'd also like Luffy to run into Garp again now that Luffy has defeated the remnants of the Rocks Pirates.

I guess he alternates since those are really the only two antagonistic forces.
Order of antagonists against the Straw Hats:
Pirate
Marine
Pirate
Pirate
Marine (I guess Fullbody technically counts)
Pirate
Pirate
Marine
Baroque Works (do they count as Pirates or Bounty Hunters?)
Baroque Works
Baroque Works
Wapol
Baroque Works
Pirate
Enel
Pirate
Marine
Marine
Pirate
Marine
Pirate
Marine
Marine
Pirate and Marine
Pirate
Pirate and Marine
Pirate
Zou is really just entirely setup
Pirate
Pirate

I would say the Marines may show up as they haven’t been an antagonistic force in a while, but I’m sure that the primary focus will be Shanks next.

He just went from Whole Cake to Wano. No alterning. Unless you count the WG at the Reviere before Wano kicked off. But that was the Revolutionaries. I think the SH are going to go from Emperor to Emperor and we are going to get that intercut with Revolutionary v WG stuff until the SH get to LT and all hell breaks lose.

Baroque Works is kind of a cross between bounty hunters and pirates, with a bit of World Government (Crocodile's status as a Warlord) mixed in.
Wapol is a pirate as of Drum Island.
Eneru is his own thing.

I think Momo just wants to undo all of the damage Kaido and Orochi did to Wano before opening it up.

Perhaps, but given that a couple chapters ago Momo confided in Yamato that every time he thinks about Wano potentially being in danger again he doesn’t want to open the borders, I think it stands to reason that that’s the primary reason for his decision.
