Today is Bepo's birthday!

My one and only wish I have for Bepo is that, for as much as he's a screw up and pushover, I hope he never once apologized for being born.

Why does Trafalgar D Law not have any more proper crew members except Bepo and Jean Bart?

Stmubled upon this theory by accident, but I really like it and agree with like 90% of it:

I am on mobile so I can't post my thoughts in detail, but I agree with at least %90 of it.

Bepo is one of my favorite comedic characters, the VA always leaves me in stitches lol.

He has that Penguin hat dude too.

It doesnt seem like a very strong crew to take into the New World. The fact that the Supernovas dont seem to have proper crews is a pet peeve of how PostTS One Piece operates considering the ton of design work that went into designing the Whitebeard and Charlotte Family pirates.

We have enough goddamn characters that stand out to keep track of in this series, we don't need that many more to focus on, unless you want each arc to read as messily as Dressrosa did when it was coming out.

Also what's not proper about having a bunch of random staff with a core group at the center (which is basically how Whitebeard's group was depicted but on a larger scale), Law isn't the only one that does this (Bege, Kid, Hawkins).

This might be a side-effect of the fact that the Eleven Supernovas didn't exist until a late-stage drafting of their debut chapter and any focus required to flesh them out a little more will take time away from the main story and drag the whole thing out (like Dressrosa).

Alright, so Ch. 925 spoilers have apparently shown up.. and holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck if this is true I'm gonna be like this all week:

Spoiler: Enter At Your Own Risk

Spoiler: I'm Serious Yo

Spoiler: LAST WARNING

Detailed Summary

From @Masasoite
Ch. 925: Blank

At the relics of Shikkearu Kingdom, Perona reads the newspapers and sheds tears.
Title on the newspapers: Attack on Moriah & Zombie Army
Perona: I have to leave! Hope they're alright!
Mihawk: Be careful and go.
Perona: That's very gentle of you... Just don't be sooooo soft all of a sudden! Thanks for everything you've done!
Mihawk: What a noisy woman... but it might be a smart choice to leave here right now. There're some shady topics (issues) raised at Levely.

New World - Pirates' Island Hachinosu (Beehive Island)
Moriah & Zombie Army are going on a rage, shouting "Hand over Teach right now".
Moriah is here to look for Absalom, who arrived here several days ago.
Absalom appears before Moriah, with a beauty as his armpiece.
Absalom: Sorry boss. This island is a paradise. I forgot to make contact.
Moriah confirms that Absalom is alright and thus is relieved. However, someone slays Moriah from behind.
That "someone" is Shiliew, who has eaten Suke Suke no Mi.
Moriah: That is Absalom's power...!
Absalom's appearance shifts in front of Moriah's eyes, and shows who the "Absalom" actually is.
Moriah: Devon!
It is Catarina Devon. She used Mythical Zoan, Inu Inu no Mi - Nine-tailed Fox type to shift to Absalom's looks.
Moriah: What did you bastards do to Absalom!
Devon: Yup we've got the corpse. You wanna take it and go back?

Kurohige's loud laughs are leaked from the speakers on the island and that lead to an earthquake.
Kurohige: Don't break the rules of this island! This is the paradise of pirates! You ought to have a good time here!
Kurohige: You like parties? Then just come aboard my ship Moriah!
Kurohige: Did you read the news this morning? The Army Executives of the Revolutionary Army fought with Fujitora and Ryokugyu in Mary Geoise on Day 4 of Levely in order to get Kuma back!
Kurohige: The other stage is Wano Kuni where that monster Kaido lives! Starting with Mugiwara, lots of zealous brats are gathering on that island! That crazy Yonko Big Mom is chasing them!
Kurohige: What do you think?! It's already begun! Those powerful ones' chaotic fight for the throne!
*Kurohige's bounty is 2.2 billion and 47.6 million Belis.

The second act of Wano Kuni begins.
Shutenmaru & Inuarashi fight each other with their swords at Atamayama, Kuri.
Their powers are equal and neither one of them will back off.
Kinemon: Stop right there! Inuarashi, Ashura!
In Amigasa Village, Tama's injuries have been treated.
It seems to be slight injuries, and Tama is recovered as much as she can sit up from her futon (comforter).
Tama: I worry more about Big Bro Luffy than about my own injuries.
Chopper: Luffy has monster-level recuperative power and he will never yield to anyone! Don't worry.
Chopper: Raizo said that he will help Luffy break out of the prison. Just leave the matter to him.
Again, In Atamayama, Shutenmaru breaks with Kinemon et al.
Shutenmaru: I am a samurai who admired Kozuki Oden and would risk my life for him.
Shutenmaru: I don't remember ever working for the Kozuki Clan!
Kinemon: Don't forget what kind of person I am! I'll definitely make you our nakama!
Shutenmaru: Don't think that people will be happy for the Kozuki Clan's samurais' return! You people abandoned the country for 20 years! That blank can never be made up!

Onigashima
Jack is getting preached by two very big guys.
One is the Beasts Pirates All-star "King the Fire".
The other one is also a Beasts Pirates All-star "Queen the Plague".
King: We only need one useless burden and that's you, you stupid Queen.
Queen: That's right! That's you, King!
Both: Do you understand? Jack the Drag-down! (Translator: as in "he's dragging us all down")
Jack: Sorry Big Bros.
King: You too, Queen! How much time did you take for those brats to subdue! You incapable retard!
Queen: Shut up! You torture-loving hentai asshole!


Supplementary Info:
King's got black feathers, wears a set of black suits, and a black mask. Everything is just black... And there's fire roaring from his back.
Queen is fat and bald.

Cover:
(Upon reader's request)
Perona & some black cats furtively use Mihawk's red wine to make Sangaria (it's a Japanese beverage brand and one of its most famous product series is fruit wine. )

EDIT: After checking around, it seems those are in fact REAL.

Don't do this to me, man. Don't get me hyped up for Thursday evening/Friday morning like this 'cause I don't want to always let out a scream every new chapter. My reaction to chapter 908 was just the big exception, can't always keep that up.

He looks exactly as I envisioned and it's great. But uh, yeah man. Spoilers, yo. You're just asking for it. @trombonista

 

[Trombonista]

Looks like the spoiler was covered before I got here. @Chaos Theorist is safe for now.

I really really want to look under these since you people hyped it up but I don't want to ruin the actual chapter for myself

I hate you guys.

Spoiler: Thoughts

-Welp, Absalom is dead. RIP.
-The news about you-know-what seems to have Mihawk a little on edge. Maybe he doesn't want to fight a fuckton of Marines about to go after him.
-Name spellings for Shiryu and Moria have changed again, I point this out because I want to put forward the idea that someone from here goes to the One Piece Wiki and does some research for a Community Watch thread on them (they get autistic as shit about stuff like this).
-Revolutionary Army commanders fight 2 admirals to get Kuma back. Was this really the right thing to do though?
-Dogstorm vs Shutenmaru/Ashura Douji, who's being a fat bitch.
- @neural's wet dream may come true yet, and we get the clusterfuck of a lifetime.
-(Is it time for the Final War arc already?)
-We finally meet the other All-Stars/Calamities, and they shit on Jack.

 

[Done]

Spoiler: My thoughts

-Welp, Absalom is dead. RIP.

Absalom always struck me as someone who wasn't making the best use of his fruit. I think we will see multiple fruits make their (re)appearance in the possession of the BB pirates. Mr. 5's fruit seems like another candidate IMO.

-The news about you-know-what seems to have Mihawk a little on edge. Maybe he doesn't want to fight a fuckton of Marines about to go after him.

Yeah seems like Fujitora managed to get his idea through. I don't imagine Im or the Gorosei will be happy about it though.

-Name spellings for Shiryu and Moria have changed again, I point this out because I want to put forward the idea that someone from here goes to the One Piece Wiki and does some research for a Community Watch thread on them (they get autistic as shit about stuff like this).

All wikias are autistic by default lol. I think we have a community watch already if you feel like adding caps.

-Revolutionary Army commanders fight 2 admirals to get Kuma back. Was this really the right thing to do though?

IMHO, yes it is.

1) They get back a dear friend and a damn powerful fighter.
2) They lay down their marker to the World Government.

-Dogstorm vs Shutenmaru/Ashura Douji, who's being a fat bitch.

I have a feeling that Zoro will be the one to get this shit done.

- @neural's wet dream may come true yet, and we get the clusterfuck of a lifetime.

I am enjoying myself greatly at the moment lol. Everything is going up in flames, I'm ZEHAHAHAHAHAing it up here.

Also, reminder that I called Moria returning during Wano arc, though I don't look forward to his VA returning, that nigga hurts my ears.

-(Is it time for the Final War arc already?)

Yes we're really speeding up to that one, huh?

-We finally meet the other All-Stars/Calamities, and they shit on Jack.

I love how King and Queen have a similar dynamic to Zoro/Sanji lol. Also note that King is a swordsman.

Some more scattered thoughts:

• Wow Teach looks great, ZEHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!
• Interesting that Teach followed his namesake in building a pirate paradise. Even more interesting that he managed to find out about Luffy's escapades in Wano, I thought that place was completely closed-off?
• ~2.2 Billion seems kinda low for a Yonkou though.
  
• Perona's dynamic with Mihawk is always great to watch, let's hope she doesn't become an enemy to the SHs though.
• Am I the only one who thinks Moria is a goner? Feels to me like Blackbeard just wants to take his fruit. Though it would also be interesting if he uses him as a guide to reach Wano and give Moria a chance at getting his revenge on Kaido.
  
• Holy fuck Catarina's fruit is gonna cause a lot of havoc with its shapeshifting. Shiryuu is also the worst person to get his hands on the Suke Suke no Mi.
  
• Chopper's ninja design is @Kari Kamiya avatar worthy. His faith in Luffy getting out is heartwarming to watch, the SH's mutual faith in each other is one of my favorite SH qualities.
• Ashura's got a point, the revolution has a long path ahead of it to regain the citizens' trust.
  
• King and Queen have great designs, I also laughed at "Jack the Dragdown".

Mr. 5 is with the rest of the old Baroque Works officers at a new Spooder's Cafe somewhere. If his fruit shows up in Blackbeard's hands then that whole goddamn lineup might as well end up pushing daisies. On a related note, we still don't know how inanimate objects can be made to "eat" Devil Fruits (Lassoo was a gun, Funkfreed was a sword, etc).

Yeah seems like Fujitora managed to get his idea through. I don't imagine Im or the Gorosei will be happy about it though.

Assuming of course they don't find a way to quash the idea without drawing attention to themselves. Maybe engineering a situation where the Warlords of the Sea are necessary (a la fighting the Whitebeard Pirates)? Though with the direction the story is going it might be inevitable (draw figures like Mihawk and Hancock into the worldwide war).

All wikias are autistic by default lol. I think we have a community watch already if you feel like adding caps.

Fuck that, last time I saw one of their talk pages it bugged the fuck out of me. Maybe reading those is the reason Fujitora blinded himself.

IMHO, yes it is.

1) They get back a dear friend and a damn powerful fighter.
2) They lay down their marker to the World Government.

1. We still don't know the outcome of the battle (we only have Blackbeard/the newspaper's word on what went down) or the specifics of how Kuma currently works. Can Randolph reprogram Kuma to obey the Revs instead of the Government? And how are they going to explain what's happened to him to any other Revolutionaries that knew him (Ivankov certainly freaked out about it).
2. IDK, I feel like Dragon might have had something else in mind when he planned to declare war against the Celestial Dragons (the original intent). Something about the way Sabo planned the rescue mission made it feel like he was going off the reservation.

I have a feeling that Zoro will be the one to get this shit done.

Well you were right about Tama, and that shit only turned out to be minor injuries. If this comes true as well, then should I be worried about One Piece getting... predictable?

I am enjoying myself greatly at the moment lol. Everything is going up in flames, I'm ZEHAHAHAHAHAing it up here.

Also, reminder that I called Moria returning during Wano arc, though I don't look forward to his VA returning, that nigga hurts my ears.

What the fuck was Absalom doing on that Pirate Island anyway? Did he hear about it being a place for leisure and not know it was part of Blackbeard's territory (a trap)? The way Moria flipped out kind of suggests this.

Yes we're really speeding up to that one, huh?

I reeeeeally want the behind-the-scenes of this stuff someday. Like was this Oda's original plan or is he heavily altering shit just to finish the story already?

I love how King and Queen have a similar dynamic to Zoro/Sanji lol. Also note that King is a swordsman.

I didn't even see the sword at first. But you're right. One's an arrogant dick swordsman and the other's an arrogant dick closet okama.

Some more scattered thoughts:

• Ashura's got a point, the revolution has a long path ahead of it to regain the citizens' trust.
  
• King and Queen have great designs, I also laughed at "Jack the Dragdown".

1. Honestly, based on how his snail looked on Dressrosa I was expecting something closer to his beta design from the Green databook (not that I'm complaining, mind you).
2. Remember, Big Mom knew every place that Sanji had been (Pekoms rattled them off at Zou), so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Blackbeard (also one of the Four Emperors now) has eyes and ears over there.
3. Blackbeard had no bounty when he became a Warlord of the Sea, so that bounty may not accurately reflect his power/threat level. There's probably all kinds of shit he's done that they don't know about (though I thought I read somewhere that the higher the bounty gets, the higher the requirements that warrant an increase get).
4. What, again? She's piecemeal work now.
5. If Moria's dead meat, then he'll most likely get killed by Kaidou, we finally get the flashback about how he lost his crew and his chin, and then some Blackbeard Pirate flunky swoops in and swipes the fruit power or some shit. There were a few people though that theorized that Moria at this point in the story was Blackbeard's mystery 10th Titanic Captain, and he was inviting Moria to join his ship (or at least join in on the party on Beehive).
6. She finally got a new outfit. And those fangirls' heads are going to get added to her collection. And holy fuck Impel Down would have no prisoners left if he had that fruit when he was Head Jailer.
7. He still doesn't know that his crew is unharmed, so that reunion will be interesting to see.
8. I hope we explore the generation that grew up hearing bad shit about the Kozuki family and see how they react to the rebellion against Orochi vs the people who've been around long enough to know better but keep their mouths shut.
9. King looks like Pica and Shiryu had a baby and Queen looks like a less fat and less homosexual biker version of Morley.
