>>282035809thanks for the daily OP
>>282035323>I can't believe we get a former warlord of the sea on our crew!!!usopp doesn't even care about him as a person, just about his reputation and the power he brings with him
>>282035592love that Sanj pose lol
>>282035323Good to see the Straw Hats back together again. Luffy, Nami, Carrot, and now Jinbei. The whole shebang! I'll never forgive Oda for what he did to Carrot
People complain about Jinbe being in the crew a lot but I like him. It would've helped if he joined a lot sooner, like Fishman Island would've been nice, though I understand it would go against how his character was set up. It also doesn't help that the Straw Hats who join after Robin don't receive as many bonding moments to help them feel like they're a part of the group, with much of post timeskip spent with the crew separated.
>>282035291Poor Pez losing his mind
This beginning of the raid has been solid
>>282035778Can't wait to meet Kaido's son, Kaidulalso ENTER the jobber squad
>>282035778Son?
>>282035558is that an Oni like Kaido?
>>282035671>>282035700I really like this scene in the anime.
>>282036941Cawho?
>>282038884I don't know if Oni's aren't even really a thing. I would have said just a big horned human but he looks really fucking big in this panel >>282035671almost giant sized, definetly bigger than Kaido
>>282035388why does a sub need sails?
>>282035809This group really isn't relevant. But Oda loves to draw wacky groups of people.
>>282035778imagine the sag
>>282035809I like yazaemon & jigoku-benten

>>282035778Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>282035809Thanks OP
>>282035809Thank you OP.
>>282035809Thank you for posting OP, OP.
>>282035809Thanks, OP.>>282035945Isn't this the first time Usopp has met him?
>>282039419We don't even know what the Polar Tang was powered by.
Sweet only 182 plus some yet unreleased chapters left
>>282046794I find hard to believe we are at late Wano already...
>>282035323fuck off rabbit, crew members only
>>282039419Sailing is free energy dawg. surely whatever fuel the Polar Tang uses is finite.
>>282035700rare zoro full smileactually it kinda looks weird
>>282038461>>282038472the beginning of the tranny confusion
>>282035738it seems kinda strange that Jinbe would be sitting while using the helm, and that there's a seat there at all
Since we're almost at the big meat of Act 3 there were some things I was thinking about with Wano similar to how our perspective on Dressrosa changed when doing this daily.For one, Acts 1 and 2 are somehow simultaneously rushed and bloated at the same time. Wano is long as fuck but so much was rushed through or just suddenly happened. Like Yasuie's execution and Zoro's fight with Benimaru or whatever his name was. That shit just randomly started out of nowhere. And there are so many new characters and shit introduced and it's just impossible to care. Like Ashura Douji and Kawamatsu. Who even cares about those guys? They're totally irrelevant. And there are just so many other minor characters in Wano that feel the same way, the cast is absurdly bloated. I refuse to believe anyone actually gave a shit about Yasuie when he died, that guy is not a character until flashbacks. And then the Big Mom stuff, etc. etc.The plot is just so all over the place and Kaido hasn't even really done anything.I will say that there has been more funny moments in Wano than I remember. And although I'm loathe to admit this, Oden wasn't as awful as I remember. I have a lot of problems with that flashback but Oden himself wasn't the biggest problem. Orochi comes off as a decent villain too.There are just too many characters involved.
>>282035945Usopp doesn't know him at all besides his reputation.
>>282035558Nice monster trio page.
>>282049084yeah you could just the ninjas and alot of the yakuza crap, and honestly I don't give a shit about the scabbards but it's kinda important to the story I guess. It's also weird how people just run around Wano like the whole country is a small city. In Alabasta you really felt like they had to travel for days to get anywhere. but I guess that wouldn't help with the bloat
>>282035323She had it good. Fuck Oda.
>>282036941Likewise
>>282035426>the skull is natural, the castle is inside of itHuh.
>>282035487>"Really man?"
>>282039529They serve to help establish Tama's goal. It would be weird if she wanted to become a ninja and there were almost no ninhas around
>>282051656Raizo and Shinobu are enough
>>282051630My face during this entire thing.
bump
>>282052141Why not also completely remove all the nameless samurai and best pirates fodder while we're at it?
>>282054274Yeah good idea
b
>>282035671Honestly best parts of OP are when the SH crew is being a bunch of hyper-competent stupid assholes that solve problems on accident
>>282035592>getting crushed by a giant Robin footlucky........................
>>282035323BUNNY CONFIRMEDCARROTBROS I NEVER STOPPED BELIEVING
>>282035738Kidd's crew is so supportive.

Chapter 978 - Introducing the Tobiroppo
>>282046053>>282049734They've met before. The whole crew met Jinbe at fishman island.
End of Chapter.Tomorrow: Family Problem
>>282059751Enter wife material
>>282059783Thanks, OP.
>>282059342Aesthetically extremely cool>>282059751I completely forgot Sasaki existed, definitely the most boring visually of the 6
>>282059751the tobi jobbers
>>282059783Thanks Daily OP-OP for the daily OP!
>>282059596>Even if you win the 10% gamble you still lose.
>>282059342The scale here is so fucking ridiculous. Like Oars wouldn't even be half way up that swords shaft.
>>282059385usopp did a thing, I am pleased
>>282060880its more like 10% you actually get a power, then 10% that power doesn't actually make your life worse, then 10% you're actually a badass animal hybrid.kinda sucks that none of the beast pirates that invaded Zou show up.
>>282059751ENTER a bunch of disappointing losers. AND ULTI
>>282049084>For one, Acts 1 and 2 are somehow simultaneously rushed and bloated at the same time.Exactlly. We know Wano was in the works for decades at this point, i i feel it was somewhat of a pet project for Oda.my theory l Oda knew Arc 3 whould be too long and instead of scalling back the arc and making it titgher, he rushed arc 1 and 2.
>>282059242> Introducing the Jobi Roppo
>>282059385>usopp being usefulmasaka
m
>>282059751For some reason I find Ulti posters more charming than other waifufags. Maybe it's because Ulti is a fun character.
>>282059751ENTER WIFE 1, WIFE 2, WIFE 1'S BROTHER, AND OUR BELOVED SCHIZO
>>282062978he could have just cut like 50% of the extra characterslike, where even is Yatappe or the other yakuza bosses? what role did they even serve?
>>282064564Eh, I think Carrot posters are the only ones I can tolerate. Ulti is a forgettable character outside of her sex design and Yamato is too much of an OC Donut Steel.
>>282035592I hate Usopp so fucking much it's unreal.
>>282059422>On this mission...we need no return ships.Metal.
>>282059529sex
Sweet only 181 plus some yet unreleased chapters left
>>282059529I always forget Kin'emon has Piccolo's clothes beam powers.
>>282059783Thank you OP.
>>282059783Thanks OP
>>282066871Beast pirate Nami and Robin and Carrot made Wano worth it.
>>282059308She's so smug shame it doesn't last...
>>282035592kek
>>282059596I really like Act 3 ngl
So far so good
>>282035592>I'm not part of the weakling trio anymoreHate Usopp.Hate Oda.
>>282059751Black Maria boob sweat...

>>282059359Having met is different from ever having a chance to get to know him. Hyping him as a former warlord being a big get for the crew is a lot more flattering of a welcome and being like oh hey good to see you.
>>282059422Great historical reference here, Kin is definitely my favorite Wano character.
>>282059385and that's how you beat the holy knights. Regenaration is pointless if you're asleep
>>282059751I can fix Black Maria.
Do you still like One Piece?
>>282078251Stop trying to fix evil women, they're perfect the way they are.
>>282059783Thank you for posting OP, OP.
>>282074748NTA but I agree. It's a big difference.
>>282059342I think I liked this one a little better in black & white
>>282059385
>>282074774I also liked it when Arthas did it.
>>282059751faget stock going down
>>282079762Yeah, though not as much as I did when I was younger.
are some of the horns fake, what race is kaido and his cronies?
It's Sunday mornin, where's the new Toei episode?
>>282085905ah fuck wrong bread
>>282035778Poor mom but I bet it would turn out that he is some sort of adopted son like most crews
>>282059422yes you need them you idiot
>>282059596I can't believe that some people believe the smiles to be worth it
>>282074774You can’t just say that and not elaborate
>>282087793Sorry anon thought most people would be familiar with the phrase but I'd be glad to give some info for my OP daily friends. In 1519 the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés lead an army to attempt to conquer the aztec empire. When they arrived at the shore, Cortés ordered his men to burn the ships, leaving no option of retreat, they either conquer or die. 'Burn the boats' is now a phrase which references sealing off any possibility of turning back to force yourself forward.

End of Chapter.Tomorrow: Fighting Music
>>282089457the fuck?
Sweet only 180 plus some yet unreleased chapters left
>>282089691Who does Robin like more? Jimbe or Franky?
>>282089919Kaido is a very bland character, but I like this characterization here that so long as he's not completely drunk, he's actually a reasonable boss who listens to his subordinates.
>>282090034Thank you OP.
>>282089457Why is Oda so averse to killing his characters? I thought it would’ve been a good death for him
>>282090990Maybe he likes having the option of reusing them, but it really hurts the few times when he does kill characters for good, because you keep thinking they're not really dead. I also heard a story that an old lady told him not to kill people in his story because it was immoral, but that might be bullshit.
>>282089731I hate Jinbe so much. Also what's up with his chest tattoo?
>>282089952I generally don't think Oden is too horrible of a character, but Luffy of all people caring so deeply about his struggle feels so uncharacteristic
>>282090034lmao at the first question
>>282089490>>282089525>"THE RAID IS GOING TO FAIL!!!" in-universe
>>282091372sun pirates, anon...
>>282089895> “You’re a BITCH, Kaido!”> “Yeah, I know…”
>>282089731HOLY SEX
>>282059751Hype? They are quickly getting on my nerves, I believe the less time they'll spend together the better.
>>282089952I fucking love Oden! Even Luffy loves him and cares about his struggle
>>282090034Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>282059751She's Here!
