My HERO luffy will win this
>>289268421>BROOOO RAGNIR IS PK TIER>needs to be bailed out by jimbei
>>289268441He seems tired too and cant fight anymore. They're both incapacitated
Break next week
>>289268513These fights are very visually confusing. The anime will improve it.
>>289268513So this confirms Imu>Kizaru>Luffy>Kaido
>>289268587Pizzaru is a secondary villain.
>>289268587Putting Imu even close to anyone there is an insult
>>289268513KWAB!O MY RUBBER
Who can even hope to give him a low diff fight at best?
>>289268421what is the fucking point odathis is the most random, retarded fucking thing
>>289268372>>289268406>>289268502The dots on Imu's body, do they remind anybody else of SMILE fruits?
>>289268974Blackbeard can hope to beat him
>>289268985But first, he has to get past Bepo though
>>289268985lol, lmao, rofl even
SAY. HIS. NAME.
>>289268372>That line work on the bottom leftI know it's TCB scans quality, but fuck Oda is dying.
>>289268421YOU AIN'T NEVER HAD A FRIEND LIKE ME
>>289268513AIIEEE I GOTTA GTFO AND FAST FUARK
I can't believe itI'm losing to Imu
KING OF THE WORLD SAINT NERONA GODMU
>>289268985Run from Magu.
I wish to BE Imu-sama!
Can FARTmato ever hope to defeat Imu with her newly found Fishmang Jarate powers?
>>289268513Not like this.
Was that Hunter X Hunter game really bad, or is any anime fighting game not made by ArcSys just going to be treated like shit now? Or is it both?
>break next weekwhy
>jinbe paired with RagnirThis feels so deliberate to shit on Usopp's agenda.
>break next week splendid
>>289269240she should have joinedFUCK
>>289269276Because we just had 3 in a row
>>289268315Imu and Joyboy definitely had a garp/roger relationship or they were first mates like Roger and Rayleigh. I thought they would be like ace and luffy but they met in adulthood it seems. Both times, Imu seems to reminisce on happy memories and keeps his straw hat
Why does Imu fight with the white power sign?
>>289268513I mentioned last week how this are has about 12 chapters to be completed, still feel confident. Zoro and Sanji will be the difference makers in the Imu fight. But before he goes he will declare war on the Strawhats leading up to the race to the One Piece
>>289269457To confuse the joyim
>Luffy shows his new genie form>limitless creative options>it just punches bigger, once againwhat's wrong with you, Oda
YOU AINT NEVER HAD A FRIEND NEVER HAD A FRIEND.YOU AINT NEVER HAD A FRIEND NEVER HAD A FRIEND.YOU AINT NEVER HAD A FRIEND NEVER HAD A FRIEND.
>>289268513USOPP, SAVE US
>>289268464That seems really fucking contrived. Why would Imu remember Brook at all? Because of his rocking 'fro?
>>289269833who's the brown haired girl
FRIEND INSIDE ME
man I'm drunk think loki did better vs imu even tho neither of them had a chance
>>289269870character just for that episode, she's a shoemaker
>>289269169underrated post, my sides
>>289268513Nami will save Luffy
>>289269280Good, fuck him. I hope Usopp feels immense guilt for taunting Imu when Imu inevitably shit talks him while beating the shit outta of Luffy.
>>289268345NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS
So where do you guys get chapter updates?
>>289268406Oh hey, that middle panel of Luffy punching the omens is actually good for once
>>289269779Why wouldn't he? Imu still remembers shit from 800 years ago like it was yesterday, so there's no way he'd have forgotten picking up Gunko
>>289268441jinbe is at least yonko tier, probably higher
>>289268513Finish him!
>>289269595What else can Luffy do but punch? Nothing, that's what.
>>289268513Crocodile did it better
remember when luffy used to twist himself before attacking? Why did he stop doing that?
>>289270196Kick?
>>289270196>>289270238Don't get cocky, it's gonna get rockyWe gonna move down to the next ya jockey now

>>289269315This but Bonney
>>289268359luffy nigga!!!
>>289268372>goes to stab luffy>his rings tap him on the shoulder>he changes up what he's doing to counter luffyMaki is Haki but the M stands for Multiple. So its Multiple Haki, since he has the 16 kings in his wreath. They are all using multiple forms of haki for him at the same time more than likely.
>>289268421Brush up your sunday salaam, Imu
>>289270261I meant like a new chat automated alarm or something
>>289268440The fact that he still doesn't know they are fighting the king of the world is kind of funny; I wonder how they'll find out.
>>289269595>whats wrong with oda hurrr>meanwhile imu is doing all sorts of crazy shitI'm sorry you are too stupid to realize Luffy being portrayed as an idiot is intentional.
The implications of luffy turning to a genie means:He can turn into BuddhaHe can turn into JesusAnd basically anything he wantsMost likely only appearance-wise though, he didn't offer Imu 3 wishes did he

Luffy in his base form is stronger than nika luffy
Assuming this is really the end for Luffy (I doubt he'd choke this quickly for real but just for sake of argument)...Who did better against Imu between Luffy/Loki?Both got exactly one solid hit on Imu that sent him flying, usually when he was distracted with his Joyboy autism, but other than that Imu either effortlessly blocked, dodged, our countered every hit against him>Lokix2 Ragna Izuchi (both blocked by Omen constructs)Gets stabbed by Sword of Judgement - NemesisGets blasted by Omen flail explosionOne more Ragna Izuchi (Imu flash-step dodges)One last Ragna Izuchi which actually hits Imu due to his going basedgoy for joyboyThorheim (blocked entirely by Omen shield)Ragna Quint-Arrows (countered by Tzitzimitl, Imu's attack lands more hit on Loki's larger body)Ragna Dual Heim.(countered by Blade of Wrath - Gram)Enter Luffy and his one solid blow, Imu follows up with Blade of Hatred - Stigma and Game Set Match for Loki>LuffyConqueror's Coating Punch while he's conversing with Loki, sends Imu flyingImu follows with Sitgma but unlike Loki, Luffy dodges it entirely via Future SightLuffy goes Gear 5th, dodges Imu's Omen Punch but the flames follow him and nail himLuffy attacks Imu, Imu flash-step dodgesImu attacks Luffy, he flash-step dodgesLuffy tries to sneak-attack gattling Imu but he blocks them allImu sends Omen bombs after Luffy, he can't shake them so punches themLuffy goes Majin and Sucker Punching Bullet on Imu but he blocks it bare-handedImu tries to use Sitgma on Luffy again, and again Luffy dodgesImu sends more omen bombs after Luffy, shifts to Sword of Void - Bofu, and speed-blitz ganks Luffy with it and (presumptuously) ending the fight
>>289270341>Loki1 attack landed successfully on Imu6 of his attacks were avoided (most required Omen or named techniques, besides one dodge)Took 4 attacks before going down (Omen-flail, Nemesis, Tzitzimitl, Stigma)>Luffy1 attack landed successfully on ImuDodged 3 of Imu's attacks, blocked 1 other1 of his attacks were dodged, 2 were blocked (none required Omen)Took 3 attacks (Omen Python and Bofu + Omen bombs) before going downSo Loki took more damage, made more attacks and Omen was needed to block most of them, but did not avoid a single hit.Luffy was much better at avoiding damage, but none of his attacks required Omen to avoid and he went down in slightly fewer hits.Both performed evenly in terms of dealing damage, which is to say their one hit apiece.
Luffy's final form will be absorbing all his allies into his hagoromo so they can lend him all their haki and abilities the same way Imu is wielding the powers of all the ancient kings he swallowed
>>289270331Man I fucking hate twitter.. but thanks anon
>>289270341I feel like Imu put out a tad bit more effort against Loki, but Loki was definitely tankier and could take more hits
>>289270366Don't forget Loki & Ragnir are a duo and Luffy is alone
>>289270353>>289270341In other words, Loki can deal more damage and is tougher than Luffy. Luffy is faster and more evasive.
>>289269595Creating a hack power because he is bored with this manga was retarded and all he can do now is force Luffy to play dumb and not use them conveniently for the plot.
What does a genie have to do with rubber?
>>289270395>Luffy to play dumb>playAnon... he IS DUMB
>>289270401I guess you could say it's a bit of a... stretch...
>>289270401Luffy imagined himself as one.
bonney luv
I nominate the genie as the worst move Luffy ever used. No point, not funny, weird as shit, and accomplished nothing, all for a stupid japanese pun that's not even good
>>289270401
>>289270463whats the pun?
>>289270463worst of all it will be featured in all the games from now on as one of this transformation modes/attacks
Honestly impressive how many people don't get that Majin is a flat upgrade of Bounceman in every regard when it's obvious just by comparing the two transformations
>>289270353>>289270341Did little man make walls of text for power level autism in freaking one piece?!
>blud piece
That Majin accomplished so little now has me thinking it's going to have some kind of delayed effectLike, it actually granted Luffy wishes and he's going to reverse all this damage. That's broken as fuck but it'd be kind of cool
>>289270395>Luffy to play dumbAnon, luffy is beyond retarded. That's why people are saying that he needs another training arc cause he's not using his df power properly. And from when I see him getting speed blitzed by imu saying he is weak then he as sure does need another training arc.
>>289270543Anon luffy is too retarded for that to happen come on now.
>>289270403>>289270552Luffy is convenientry smart or dumb when Oda needs him to be so. Same for being creative with his fruit.
>>289270543genies don't grant wishes to themselves, that's not how it works
>>289268513Oh no! Luffy lost all his HP!Luffy HP bars depleted : 1Luffy HP bars left : 495
>>289270479majin = genie = devil
Seems like the idea that Imu somehow trapped/contracted the original WG kings in his power tracks.His main weapon is absorbed/reabsorbed into his halo and another one produced from it.It could be that the original kings had those weapons and "provide" them to Imu as needed.It really comes off creepy if he effectively enslaved them into his halo and they're the eyes on it.
>>289270624So when Imunko manifested a shotgun it was the weapon of one of the kings?
So let me guess... now Imu will start babbling about how none of them measure up to whoever from whatever century in the meantime Zoro/Sanji step up, Gunko also does some unpredictable hax stuff and Imu despawns.However! whatever happens must be so severe that Imu can't simply respawn there again and start fighting them again. So either he gets permanently taken out of action somehow or Elbaph somehow becomes off-limits to his power and so on. Considering Luffy and co still have to go to Laugh Tale and adventure a bit further, something must happen to make Imu not be capable of projecting himself to Elbaph as soon as they leave. So I'm guessing taking out Somers/Killingham permanently handicaps him somehow due to how his powers work. Otherwise he'd just keep coming back over and over, especially after Luffy leaves.
>>289268421What is Jinbe punching there?
>>289270668Now it makes more sense rather than him just spawning a random shotgun out of the blue.12 kings = 12 weapons. We've seen the zigzag spear, the evil sword, the shotgun and I believe he used a mace once. He also used that sword that looks like Mihawk's
>>289268421>turban held by a meat-shaped pinMinor kek
>>289270395>Luffy to play dumbLuffy is retarded, you should know this. It took him his entire life to get the hang of using his devil fruit. Meanwhile, Sabo grasped it the instant he ate the Mero Mero.Luffy is actually fucking stupid and I don't know why people keep forgetting this.
>>289270699>12 kingsAnon the government was founded by 20 kings, that's 19 + Imu but actually 18 + Imu because Lily didn't become a Celestial Dragon
>>289270668I bet it was the weapon of the TOPman king
>>289269779Cause he saw Brook like 5 minutes ago?
>>289270679Probably the summoning circle left in the castle, once destroyed imu will feel the summoning effects more severely and will be forced to despawn or someshit will happen to him.I think who will destroy it will be vegapunk as a thank you to the strawhats for saving him in egghead.
>>289270723yeah my bad, I meant 20 kings
>>289269779Gunko is his most precious cumdump, of course he remembers the events that transpired when picking her up.
>>289268315>crackly phone callI'm 100% convinced we're getting the aliens twist. The ancient kingdom wasn't an island, they were spacefarers.
>>289270758Aliens has already been a thing since the Enel cover story. If anything it will probably be sequel bait.
>>289268421The toon powers just makes me think Oda is jealous of western cartoons and animation.
>>289270758I had a theory (idk with all the recent events) that originally the planet was Earth-like with modern day tech (first age) but due to a man-made catactlysm the remnants of humanity escaped to the Moon until the planet "heals".Meanwhile on the surface humans mutated into various forms and shapes and these "mutants" were considered impure by the people of the Moon who then attempted to recolonize the planet.This Moon people vs planet-bound mutants is the main conflict of the story, except it is not a clear distinction between good/bad.celestial dragons, for instance are a remnant of the moon humanity and they wear outfits resembling space suits. minks, fishmen, etc... are clearly mutated humans.Imu simply might be on a war path to reclaim the planet from the "mutants" who he considered impure. The beat by beat of the story is still unclear since multiple ages AND the void century kind of muddled it all up so both sides ended up merging somewhat.
>>289270775>jealousHe's perfectly open about how much he likes those old cartoons and how sad he is that animation like that doesn't really exist anymore
>>289270679i already hear the zehahahaha's from the distance
>>289270810>celestial dragons, for instance are a remnant of the moon humanity and they wear outfits resembling space suits.This is kind of retarded when you remember that Lunarians have dark skin and wings while none of the Celestial Dragons do except Imu. You also need to remember that Alabasta is old as shit as a nation.
>>289269779Brook leaves that impression to people
>>289270679Garling will end Imu.
>>289270744>vegapunkLilith is all the way on the the other side of the tree though, she also has to go through zaza's rain/flood to get to the castle. She can probably blow up the castle with a device that has all the energy she got from the fires but she has to get there first before imu roflstomps everyone on elbaf
I am happy for Godmu and his wife Imu yume.
>>289268513>Luffy next chapter
>>289270866Monet?
>>289270866Gunko the cuck watches in the corner, jilling off to imu fucking another version of imu.
>>289268315They have radio communications 900 years ago?
>>289269779It just proves Laboon will in fact recognize Brook.
>>289270927is was heavily implied multiple times that the void century was highly advanced than present times
>>289270887Sorry fagget, but luffy is to retarded or not retarded enough to think of saying "nuh uh, sword did zero damage since you rolled a one. I rolled a 20 and throw shit on your face to temporarily blind you"He has the most bs devil fruit and he's barely using it at all.
>>289270888>>289270903Floof
>>289268464>Imu doesn't like afrosAfro Luffy soon
>>289270866>Artists are shipping Imu with everyone but ImuKek, pretty funny.
>>289268513So this is the last possible point in Elbaph for Usopp to do something.he won't
>>289270977I think I need to sleep
>>289270987he'll do something, yes
>>289268513Luffy is still a bitch, another 3 years for a power-up?
>>289270839Like I said it gets confusing because a LOT of time passed, this all happened ages before the void century so things kind of got muddled up which side was which. What we're seeing is possibly characters larping as one side or another while not understanding the original context.
>>289268513I guess this is the last chapter of One Piece.
>>289268513If Usopp doesn't save Luffy then Oda officially hates Usopp and he's officially dead as a character.
>>289270839Imu is transformed right now.
>>289270816It is jealousy, a single episode of courage the cowardly dog has more gag than everything Oda did with gear 5 this entire time.
>>289271032Anon, just let it go. Usopp doesn't matter. He's just kind of there.
>>289270775What was the last time a western cartoon was like this?
>>289271050Your question is irrelevant.
>>289271041You're so mad you can't even understand what people are saying to you, go soak your head for a minute and reread what I wrote >courage the cowardly dogJesus Christ
>>289268421
>>2892710501940s
>>289268359>of course you know. this means war.
>>289268441Ragnir-sama would have tanked it but graciously let jinbe have a chance to be useful
>>289268359>nothing personnel, kid
>>289271070You're fuming.
>>289270775>jealousmaybe he just likes themDisney was doing amazing things for a long time
Is it really a surprise Oda is copying western cartoons? Gags in japanese manga are always just perverted rapey garbage.
>>289268974Hawkeye wins this
>>289268312can I just say one thing? sex with Nami
>>289271041Courage the Cowardly Dog is only better than One Piece for the first season. The second season is better than Wano onwards but not the third season.
>>289271122Imagine Gear 5 Luffy making pervy gags like Roshi
>>289268333>literally can't go five minutes without thinking about Joy Boy>blame othersAre final villains supposed to be this gay?
>>289271154Only if Usopp is with him.
>>289269779How often do you think Imu even participates in a mission?
>Imu with this strength if not more and the alliance of 19 other countries still couldn't beat Joyboy on his ownHow fucking STRONG was he? Jesus Christ.
>>289271112>Disney was doing amazing things for a long timeGive credit to drugs.
>>289271128Weatherian meteoroligsts..
There has to be another mini-timeskip after this, right? I just can't wrap my head around the straw hats dealing with the top tiers now with most of the crew not having haki. This arc has to be a very obvious sabody island mirror.
>>289268421what was the point of majin here?
>>289271192Oda thought it was a funny gag
>>289271192Oda running out of "western cartoon" gags and just doing an Aladdin reference.
>>289271192Luffy (Oda) felt like it
>>289271192its a japanese punjaps loved it
>>289271176Nah, Elbaf isn't a loss arc. Franky already got a power up, Sanji is set up for anohter, probably Luffy, Zoro and Usopp will follow.
Ironically all this toonshit is less funny than classic one piece humor. Toon luffy is forced as fuck.
>>289271025its truehttps://strawpoll.com/e7ZJaeYXMg3/
>count Imu's eyes on his wreath>each panel he has 17>wtf thought there were 19 kings why is he missing two>remember he gave one each to Summers/Killinghamokay, this is some good attention to detail
>>289271253What about Gunko? Didn't he shoot something at her too?
>>289268502The problem with this translation is it adds "Wailing" unnecessarily despite itself even mentioning the Kanji being just Void Sword.Ragnarok is almost always more accurate than TCB.
Interesting. Imu's power seems to have will of his own
>>289271304those are the souls from the people he killed
>>289268486Oda has finally found a way to combine Fight Piece with his beloved Run Piece.
Is next chapter Vivi's heroic entry?
>>289268421>Loki died LMAO No words can express how much I hate this nikker
>>289268421Jinbe > Luffy > Loki > Sanji > Zoro
>>289268312
>>289270166>>289270756>>289270844I'm not doubting Imu's impeccable recall ability but I mean a godlike being remembering some hakiless soldier he saw for 5 secs, that didn't leave much of an impression other than interrupting the slaughter of some cuck king, before he bounced does stretch my suspension of disbelief a bit. It really was the 'fro>>289270928He fucking better.>>289271165Of the two we saw in these flashbacks, often enough.
Luffy is so lucky 56 times daily
i was playing with cucumbers and my rectum is torn again :(
>>289271433Take the time into the account>61 years ago>38 years ago>nowPretty much once a generation so far. It's not often at all.
Nami got single panel this chapter Its about Luffy Oda confirmed that Nami is watching Luffy's fight against Imu Oda hides her reaction Next chapter Nami will attack Imu and save Luffy Chapter ends with Imu realising Nami is his daughter
>namifag
>>289271459Literally everyone but Zoro, Sanji, and Chopper are present watching Luffy. Zoro and Sanji can probably feel Luffy, which him being in danger will probably cause them to actually be serious and be the trigger for Sanji to stop fucking around.Chopper will just be oblivious per usual.
>>289271482Yes but Jinbe is protecting Loki Brook is focused on Gunko Franky is irrelevant Usopp is useless Nami is focused on Luffy
>>289270771I don't mean that they exist, I mean that they're responsible for everything. Ancient tech comes from space, Joyboy's not a man with a big hat he's an alien. Some people have already noticed that Imu's sound effects are weirdly robotic. He could be an ancient cyborg.
>>289271332Gunko stole Vivi's plot
Nami hugging turtle with crown and Sanji being a cuck
>>289271497>recycling the same joke in the same arcLame>contrasting Usopp and LokiBased
>>289271456Alright, good point. Yeah, on the cusp of the old pirate generation, old generation and then current generation
>>289270341Base Luffy is stronger than Nika
>>289268513All of those agendaposting, all for nothing.Kill all agendafaggots.
>>289268513bros... Elbaf is so fucking good...
>>289268513Thanks for the dump.
>>289271546It's not totally impossible? Something like, Imu is too used to Nika shenanigans at this point, and so Luffy has better hope just going in base.
>>289271530
>>289271554Easily the best chapter of Elbaf so far. Its giving off the vibes of the Egghead chapter where Vegapunk died and all hell broke loose. Except this time its Luffy jobbing.
Geard death if Nami loses her arm trying to protect Luffy
At least Loki got Imu to smile. Luffy dropped such a pathetic performance it actually pissed him off.
>>289268312>cucks sanji again in the cover spread>constant ntr in the mangaI'm starting to think think the Blackbeard pudding memes might be become real...
Goofy, Flaw and Mid.The Jobber Trio.
>>289269779I didn't assume it's Imu remembering him but rather him realizing that he's suprised they just randomly bumped into someone from her past.
>>289271456>>289271542Another is that less than a century ago for a millennium old being like Imu is probably still quite recent so yeah, it's reasonable that he would recall Brook.
>>289271302Bofu these nuts
I'll be honest here.I understand that IMU is strong and that's good for the story. But I feel nothing.Luffy is not going to die. Nothing's going to happen. There's no stakes.
>>289269595Because contrary to what retards believe, Gear 5 doesn't give him magical imagination toon powers. He's still only a rubber man. He reshaped his rubber body to look like a genie, much like he reshaped his body in Gear 4 to look like a Nio statue. The reason? Luffy's a retard with a childlike mind, and thought it would look cool. It's not that deep or confusing. His fighting style is still hand-to-hand combat.
why didn't Luffy rubberized Imu's sword?
>>289271651>MC dies>series jsut endsAre you fucking retarded?
>>289271658me when I lie
>>289268421>>289268977>>289270775>>289271192>what was the point of majinAre you people serious? 90% of glaze for One Piece on social media comes from Muslims and assorted brown mutts. It's pandering to them
>>289268977Boohoo keep crying
>>289271651do you think a story works like a Street Fighter match? a defeat still has negative consequences regardless of the death of a character
>>289271651Why would MC die? Are you retarded?
>>289271670>me when I post shit not written by the author
why did a halfdead nerfed loki arguably do better against imu than fully rested god luffy, protagonist of the manga who saw them fight and how imu's attack work? and loki hasn't even used his hybrid form yetwill we already get gear 6 in this arc? only explanation for this
Rememeber Oda already give hint of Nami being related to Imu somehow
>>289271707>will we already get gear 6 in this arc? only explanation for thisIf Oda were a good writer he lets Loki finish Imu and we'll see whatever Luffy's final form is next arc, but sadly Luffy ALWAYS has to be the one to beat the big bad.
>>289271718>If Oda were
>>289271714 Nami was the first character who reacted to Imu's arrival in Elbaf
>>289271718>but sadly Luffy ALWAYS has to be the one to beat the big bad.We got the author of ZKK over here, watch out fellas.
>>289271718Loki only exist to hype Shanks
>>289271707>With Loki50% trying.>With Luffy100% trying.Joy Boy is the one that Mu obsesses with over, not Nidhogg or Ragnir.
>>289271726I'm not a braindead weeb so I don't know what ZKK is but I know that Luffy beating the final boss is a bit contrived after 20 times.
*inhales*
>>289271738>with loki 1% >with Luffy 10% We have only witness power of nerf Imu
>>289271746ONE PIECE
>>289271746SEX WITH CARROT
>>289271706these sketches aren't made by Oda either?
>>289271754WILL BE ON BREAK NEXT WEEK!!!
>>289271760This would have killed Imu
>>289268359>luffy...if you do blackface... your punch will become stronger!
>>289271741there's nothing contrived about it. Luffy is the symbol of liberation and brings the dawn to the islands he passes bythat's the core theme of the story. it's the whole point
>>289271746>>289271754>>289271763nyoooo

>>289271738>>With Loki>50% trying.>>With Luffy>100% trying.literally feels like the opposite. he literally attacked loki first with stigma and allowed luffy to see what it does (imu even points it out for speedreaders like you and >>289271752 who might be your samefag)even now he immediately attacks loki while luffy is right in front of him and it's implied that imu allowed luffy to hit him last chapter or at least didn't bother blockingluffy beats most arc antagonists with a fair amount of luck anyway, probably won't be much different here
>>289268564by adding fucking CUBES and making every hit a galaxy destroying blast?
>>289271808>he literally attacked loki first with stigmaSpeedy, Luffy simply dodged the first Stigma. Also imagine trying to act cocky when you have to delete your first post lmfao.
>>289271128Turtle...
So SHITmi is into bestiality ?What a crazy awful whore
>>289268513It's ok, next chapter Luffy's gonna slide off, and the sword will look like this.
>>289271651?? That's every antag fight
>>289271855that would actually be fun
>>289271855Jarul already did that gag
>>289271822>Speedy, Luffy simply dodged the first Stigma.the one that was obviously intended for loki and targeting the flames on his body. not hard to dodge an attack that's not meant for you. tell me more about the 100% you pull out of your ass when luffy vs. imu is mostly a gag fight and running away from wraiths though>Speedythat's you if you don't know that luffy always needs dumb luck to win or opponents "underestimating" him even though oda spells it out all the timeand pointing out the most obvious samefag doesn't make me cocky
>>289271855Ehy doesn't Luffy just take the wound and peel them off his body? He kinda did that on Egghead.
Luffy got his facial features removed like a Mr. Potato Head, he should be able to fight with a hole in his chest
In all honesty a pretty weak showing from Luffy.Just (unsuccessful) dodging, barely any offensive moves and the ones he fired off didn't seem decisive at all, like he was just fucking around.I'm also over this 'ha ha" Nika mode fighting which is just uninteresting and already played out.Luffy should be in 200% serious mode since Imu is the most serious opponent he faced so far and lives are on the line. Instead it's a couple of goofy gags and he's already out.There are ways to show that Imu is outclassing him that don't make Luffy look like some shmuck. Plus the choreography in this chapter was extremely weak, probably be weakest I've seen Oda do ever. Shockingly poor paneling.
>>289271886>I-i-it was actually very easy for Luffy to dodge itHuh uh, sure anon. Whatever helps you cope.
>>289271886>luffy always needs dumb luck to win or opponents "underestimating" himNot to mention the ability to do whatever he wants now
>>289268464>>289269779Maybe Imu recognises the afro from Gunko/Shuri's memories?
>>289271903Samefag
>>289271895Even though I agree, it seems (based on what Kaido also said) that cutting attacks actually hurt him in a non-cartoony way
>>289271901the attack that wasn't meant for him? yes that was probably easy to dodge
>>289271921>the attack that wasn't meant for him?Do you have proof to back that up?
>>289268440motobe-san...
>>289269779He has free access to Shuri's brain.
>>289268977Imu-sama...
>I don't feel like I'll lose to anyone>Literally just spends the chapter running around
>>289271746>>289271758BASED
>>289271944Imu was throwing all sorts of shit towards him
What if next chapter the fight is skipped and Luffy looks like this?
>>289268513Wow I definitely believe that luffy is seriously hurt by that sword strike and imu will winThis is the first chapter I've ever read
>>289271925yes, understanding how stigma works and that he individually marked both and the sword so far seems to always hit its target which is why luffy threw his coat awayspeedreader
>>289271971I mean, Crocodile won twice before Luffy beat himHell, Kaido also did the same a couple arcs ago so it kinda comes down to the final round.
>>289271944Another filler chapter + break. Oda needs time.
>>289271992You don't know what filler means.
I'd just like to remind you that before Oda introduced Imu he didn't hint at his connections to Elbaf. Or Shanks. Or Blackbeard. Or Brook. The one he mentioned was Whitebeard. Interestingly, the reason Imu originlly got interested in Luffy wasn't his fruit or D. It was the fact Whitebeard protected him. Oyaji Kino still incoming.
>>289271972>he individually marked bothSo Luffy did dodge his attack.
>>289271984>I mean, Crocodile won twice before Luffy beat himOda used to be a better writer>Hell, Kaido also did the same a couple arcs ago so it kinda comes down to the final round.None of the fakeout deaths mattered in wano, just like in dressrosa. All it meant was there were more pointless chapters of stalling between the start of the fight and luffy winningAlso this is my first chapter I don't know what you're talking about :)
>>289271984>proving his point by listing fights where mary sueffy recovered and wonat least say kizaru.
>>289271971The question is really is he down for now and someone has to take over before Luffy comes back once again or will he still keep going. He was never going to win this round, but he's definitely getting one more go before Elbaf ends, this is just how Oda rolls.
>>289272014The point is that Luffy was seriously injured in both fights, you mongoloid. Stop trying to act smug when you talk like a fucking mouth breather, moron.
>>289268513Time for the usual gomu gomu no asupuru
>>289272033not very serious when you can just come back and win. anon probably used that word for a reason
>>289271934That's clearly not true, he had no idea who he was twenty chapters ago while he was in Gunko's body.Now that Brook had his flashback he had an epiphany though
>>289272045This shit isn't a seinen, at most you'll get a character losing his limbs.
>>289272009>Oda used to be a better writerNot really, if Crocodile vs. Luffy came out today the threads would be unusable with shit like Luffy surviving the second round by perfectly aiming a ball of water down on his shriveled corpse.
>>289268440>another Jinbe PR panelWhat can Oda do to make people care about the fat fuck fish? Making literally everyone in the One Piece world love and respect him unconditionally doesn't seems to work.
>>289272051Gunko was fighting Mu in the head so it wasn't some total control over her mind.
>>289269458>Zoro and Sanji will be the difference makers in the Imu fightIf anyone is, it's gunko.
>>289271996I mean it would make sense, WB was the only one who knew about lunarians living on the red line (who told him this, hmmm?) and he's clearly clashed with holy knights before if his comment on Shanks' face was anything to go by. For all we know Imu could have been his buddy but then WB "betrayed" him by taking Ace in.
>>289272067Luffy is dumb btw
>>289272065I'm neither of these two anons, but if you can get back and keep fighting within an hour, it's hardly a serious injury is perhaps the point. Serious injury would be something like Mihawk fucking up Zoro so much it lingers the next arc or Luffy getting fucked up in Marineford so much he's been days on life support.
>>289272095He's been told the plot by Roger.
>>289272017We're probably just gonna switch to Sanji and Zoro's fights while Luffy's down and then we'll come back to Imu kicking Luffy's corpse while his time limit expires.
>>289272006yes he dodged his own stigma by throwing his coat away after he saw what it did to lokii.e. not only were the wraiths imu sicced on loki smarter and faster (typical dumb luck for luffy), imu also thought loki deserves a surprise attack more than luffy does. that's just reality and i don't know why it bothers you unless you hate one piece or you are brown and the strong viking character triggers you. oda hypes up loki for a reason
>>289271996Why are you posting a JF message from 2017?
>>289272120Sanji and Zoro aren't getting cool fights while Luffy does fucking nothing, anon. The moment these two duels were set-up, it was a confirmation Luffy is winning this arc.
>>289272067>Luffy surviving the second round by perfectly aiming a ball of water down on his shriveled corpse.It was dumb, but it was at least coherent and justified within the story. Oda clearly wanted to give the impression of luffy planning a contingency which would allow him to survive crocodile rather than just thinking "it's time for a fakeout death" like he does now - the only issue is it's a little contrived.Anyway the main reason it's good is that there are actually consequences for luffy losing here and people die because of it. In modern piece there would just be 10 chapters of zoro stalling, luffy would eat a big mac, 500 characters would do the enel face while messing around with random bullshit which doesn't advance the plot and franky would have a 5 chapter flashback
>>289272144Not really.
>>289271996He was talking about Kaido, who ended up being a nothingburger.
>>289272136Could you please read the post you're replying too? Because it's the message that originally foreshadowed Imu.
>>289272144Anon, it's already unusual to get Luffy's fight before Sanji and Zoro's. Turns out the reason was Luffy is gonna spend the climax in a coma while the children get kidnapped and Imu hits his time limit. If you still think Elbaf is winning you're delusional. This arc is a set up arc for a Mariejois raid.
>>289272156>it was at least coherent No, it really wasn't. It's straight-up the same set-up that he's now using again with Imu in the last page
>>289272156See? You're literally doing "old good new bad" even while admitting the old stuff was fucking stupid
>>289272157Yes, really. Oda's extremely protective of Luffy's status as the MC, he's not getting upstaged. Zoro and Sanji aren't winning fights and getting power-ups while Luffy is kicked around unable to do a thing.
>>289272190I'm not saying that Sanji and Zoro will win
>>289272164The lurking legend was referring to Xebec, anon hence why Oda also mentions Whitebeard since they were all part of Rocks.
Guess we're gonna need another 300 or so chapters before Luffy is ready.
>>289270775He loves Tom and Jerry desu
>>289272156Y-yeah... nobody dies in modern piece anyways...
>>289268421Legendary Spee D. Reader here. I've just realized that Ragnir isn't actually normal squirrel sized
>>289268312The only thing I don't like about this cover is that Robin isn't tits out front and center together with Nami.
>>289272229
>>289270758Nah, Joyboy was the alien, the D. stands for something extraterrestrial
>>289272178>Anon, it's already unusual to get Luffy's fight before Sanji and Zoro'sIt's not unusual at all. Luffy attacks Arlong before Sanji and Zoro even get a chance to do anything, and he later gets thrown in a pond by him before Zoro and Sanji have their fights set-up. His first time with Crocodile before Zoro and Sanji fights start. He punches Hody before Zoro's and Sanji's main fights start (he actually wins before them in an unusual reversal too). He has his two fights with Caesar before Zoro even meets Monet. His original fight with Kaido is ages before Onigashima even starts, and even on Onigashima his first fight ends before Zoro and Sanji's fights begin for real.
>>289268513Isn't Imu spilling blood here too?
>>289272180>"No, it really wasn't">Crocodile drains water from people's bodies>So I'll keep the water outside of my body until he drains itDo you not know what the word coherent means?How is it incoherent?>>289272181Yes I am, because the old stuff had positive qualities that the new lacks even if the old was flawed.Oda's inability to focus and manage large casts makes these decisions worse, as does his inability to commit to consequences of luffy losing like this. If the giant kids get kidnapped because of this then I'll respect oda's decision to commit to consequences of Luffy's inability to win.But even then it's been literally hundreds of chapters since the last time that happened (probably Ace dying desu) and it would make the decision to focus on zoro/sanji earlier read really strangely in retrospect>>289272223I'm not even saying oda never kills any characters (even though that's true), I'm saying that in modern climax fights luffy gets the same fakeout losses as he used to but they don't matter at all because nothing happens while he's down and he gets back up in 10 seconds.The middle could be cut and it would make the story better.
>>289272164Nonsense, Kaido was already formally introduced 2 years prior, and we already knew he was going to be the main villain of Wano.>>289272199No, it wasn't. He clearly says the lurking legend is someone Luffy and co. will face in a battle.
>>289272278You must be coping if you read that page and think to yourself: "Mmh yes, this is obviously Luffy's plan to keep out water out of him"
>>289272181>"old good new bad"now that's just true. wano was the most boring fiction i've ever forced myself through and since then it's been a headfirst dive into generic JRPG territory. everything great about OP now is just a mishmash of what was brandnew 30 years ago but with worse art and paneling and generic edginess
>>289272289>Nonsense, Kaido was already formally introduced 2 years prior, and we already knew he was going to be the main villain of Wano.meant for >>289272160
>>289272294Nobody cares about your bf's opinion.
>>289270758The 'first world' was very likely some kind of abusive colonial situation where the indigenous population were being used as labor slaves.Ancient Kingdom was probably the descendants of said space colonists using technology to rule over the planet. 20 kingdoms were a resistance group with noble intentions but they ended up going too far, hence why Vegapunk can't really call either side as being completely in the wrong.
>>289268315Calling it now, Joyboy managed to contact the civilization on the moon, which made Imu descend and befriend him.
>>289268315
>>289272258damn yeah, looks like iti guess imu's time has ended and he'll btfo back to mary geoise, chopper saves luffy, etc way dumber and simpler to finish imu's fight than zoro/sanji or whatever
>>289272291>You must be coping if you read that page and think to yourself: "Mmh yes, this is obviously Luffy's plan to keep out water out of him"Mother fucker it is the most obvious telegraph in the history of fiction: >>289272067It's a dumb plan, but it's clearly presented as being calculated by luffy
>>289272305maybe but the average animu in 2026 looks like PS2 games because only efficiency and cost effectiveness matters
>>289272351
>>289272289To be fair, Jump Festa messages are whatever. Recall Oda hyping up Wano for 2017 and next year he was apologizing that Whole Cake was taking longer than expected lol.
>>289268513This is similar to the scene in Bleach where the fire bald guy says that the bankai trained by his subordinate wasn't so weak like this.
>>289268464>WHAT LUFFY AND ROBIN WERE FROZEN TOOI always find it really farfetched whenever information comes up that hasn't just been casually shared amongst the crew, especially something as interesting as the time they fought fucking Aokiji.
>>289268312Sanji is either going after the crown to become a king or after Nami's butt, maybe both.
>>289271855While that would be funny, I think Luffy needs this injury to get his shit together and stop being AHYUK AHUYK VEGAPUNKO SHINDA LMAO. Him not laughing all the time in Gear 5 this chapter is a good start.
what did Saint Sommers mean by this?
>>289268312These scans are literal dogshit how the fuck did we reach this pointChapter release on friday with dogshit scansI remember like after Dressrosa we had full chapter on thursday and the scans looked 5x better
>>289271855>>289271887Sorry, imagination only works when convenient, please understand.
>>289272375Oda is famously terrible at time estimation, but I don't recall a message that literally just didn't lead to anything.
>>289272487Just saying that the message in question could be referring to multiple characters that we've met: Kaido, Imu, Xebec, ... etc.
>>289272457zoro would never steal his homie's girl
>>289268977Powerscalers are such unhinged manchildren
>>289268513>Villain is obsessed with an idealized version of the protagonistLiterally just Makima and Denji.Oda ripping off CSM now that everyone has called him out on copying Naruto.
>>289272509>everyone
>>289272503Only Imu makes sense. Kaido has already been a character active in the story for a while. There's been a debate on Rocks vs. Imu, but it has been at last put to rest this year when we've seen Rocks is definitevely dead and Imu faced SHs as the strongest enemy they've seen so far as has been foretold
>>289268421toei better stretch out the episode by giving majin luffy a musical number
>>289271911Do any of you fucking retards actually read this fucking manga? Imu was fucking there when Brook came into the room. Why do you braindead retards follow a series where you can't keep up with with things that happened literally a few chapters ago?
>>289272457Kiku is a woman at heart!
>>289272313I think there's a few waves of colonization.>OP "planet" is built/barren>wave 1 settle, in the low lands/make the planet livable (middle class rich enough to flee what ever in space)>wave 2 come and aren't entirely antagonistic, but there's now some tension over who gets what (poorfags from space)>wave 3 comes and they want to lord over everything (richfags from space, think more MSG, the rich kick the populace out, only to eventually have OG planet become uninhabitable anyway)>wave 3 basically re-enslaves everyone like on OG planet>age 1, wish magic is real, nika manifest etc>as the high tech age ends, wave 1 & 2 go on genetic experimentation spree and this spawns all the various humanoids who can inter-bredGiants (ancient) are my only issue here, ancient giants might be the actual OG species on the planet. Things used to be MASSIVE on this planet at one point. Unless we're going down the 'honey I shrunk the kids' style, less land? Just need less!
>>289272536There's the moon stuff too. Skypieans were said to have originally left the moon due to resources running out. I'm really interested to see if Oda is gonna tie Shandian culture/religion into their shared history with whatever happened up on the moon.
Oda's fight choreography is ass.
>>289268315>>289268502So TCB also got the title and Imu's technique name wrong.
>>289271304Welcome to two weeks ago
>>289272525Let him do anything. He changed into a genie, and the only thing he did is a punch, what the fuck?
>>289268421>Luffy doesn't care that as far as he's aware Loki is deadWe've seen him fly into a blind rage because people he just met were beaten or injured and now he thinks Loki is dead and he's just chill with it? Nothing is ever going to be serious in this manga again everything is fodder for a toon force joke
>>289269779Imu remember all the breads he’s eaten it’s just a very inefficient algorithm
>>289272509Is this bait? Antagonist obsessed with an imagined version of the protagonist is an age old trope
>>289272699>Is this bait?do you need to ask?
Toon shit killed this series. Oda's a fucking fag
GARP CHUJO
>>289272753The whole series has been toon kino from the start though.
I FUCKING HATE CARTOONS GRRRR SAVE ME RORONOA ZORO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>289272509
>>289272457zoro is so lucky
>>289272795I hate cartoons and yet Franky is muh fuarkin hero
>>289268513Damn, that's a lot of blood, Luffy's down for sure, oh man, Shuri's definitely gonna die, Imu's not gonna let his favorite onahole suddenly regain it's sense of self
>>289272565Yeah, 3(4) wing shapes, lunarians are black winged (we don't know if shape determines 'home' yet, beyond that they used to own RL). But so far, only lunarians have non-vestigial wings, so it's like the skypieans, are actually the 'half breed/GMO'd'.
I wish we got more moments like this with Zoro
>Lord of the Coast is a restaurant guest
>>289272765NTA, but that's exactly why Gear 5 sucks. Toon power in most other shonen series would stand out, but in One Piece it's "... okay? what's new?". Especially that Oda can't even commit to the bit, compare Gear 5 with Bobobo, Oda never really goes wild. So if the baseline is cartoony to begin with, and Gear 5 doesn't even all in into the toon shit, then what's the point?
>>289272873Ohnonono Shanks bros???
>>289268513I hope Luffy loses and gets raped. Hes been too fucking cringe and overpowered since nika, barely any stakes because of his ridiculous shit powers
>>289272895>lost to Kizaru>lost to Topman>needed help vs. Mars and SaturnHe only really defeated Kaido, Lucci and Sommers.
>>289272880You know what, comparing him to Bobobo is definitley the valid, I remember being so confused wither or not Bobobo was winning the fight until he did his fist of the nose hair finisher since everything prior to the throwdown was just utter incomprehensible nonsense like his fight with Halikulini, I can't remember who it was but it was funny as hell that during that craziness the bad guy would get so pissed off rather than attack Bobobo he would attack Jelly Jiggler instead and the one time he goes for Bobobo, he uses Jelly Jiggler as a human shield while crying at how noble he was to step in front of that attack willingly to save him.
>>289268513is there a benefit to fakeouts in long running manga, not just in one piece but it seems to be a very common thing
>>289272933https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliffhanger
>>289268359The number of eyes isn't always a consistent 19 right? Like this panel has 17, assuming none got scrubbed in the cleaning.
>>289269779The afro makes the character. That's why he can't shave it before meeting laboon again, he'd turn into another character.Still, curious to see if it'll trigger more of Imu's mental episodes.
>>289270682Imu's gunna try the beam sword thing again. How jinbe blocks it? Dunno. Why didn't jinbe get cooked and die? Dunno, he just tanks things.
>>289271440>nami fucks turtles>sanji seethes>luffy doesn't give a kek>lunatics and sanaturds on suicide watch

>Imu now acting like he isn't even sure if Luffy is Joyboy or how it can be since Joyboy diedSo he really is just some crazy retard and not nearly as much as calculated and all knowing as we thought (and as it would make sense give he lives for 1000 years)Boring. Just get this brown clown out of here already and bring on Garling
>>289272933Cliffhangers are made so the readers keep looking forward to the next chapter. Its one of the reasons one piece got so big, Oda somehow manages to add cliffhangers on every chapter
>>289273032He got that Madara brain, remember his HARASHIMA!!! schizo outs back in the war?
>>289271433Eh, it's like going to the bike park for your first proper ride with your first non-shit/trainer bike. You're like fucking 5-7 or something and you remember it well, but you can't for the life of you remember all the other times over the next decade. You still remember that nice bike tho.Well we'll see, assuming gunko is the first 'awakening' of her power in 700 years that Imu's gotten his hands on. I'm guessing it's some kind of counterpart of three-eyes being able to to just "read any language".
>He is strong. There is a reason for his strength.
>weapon number 2 out of the 19 >this is just Imu level 2
>>289272914A ganked Kaido that had been fighting the whole night and got multiple deep injuries.
>>289273122No injury counts as deep if it wasn't with ACoC. So Luffy aside, basically one attack by Zoro and few by Yamato, but none of them were even treated seriously by Kaido. Luffy did something like 95% of the job back there.
>>289268312What do we think about Heroines?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDsll0GzhpY
>>289268513imagine if Oda dies during the break week and that's the last chapter of One Piece
>>289273122>let me pretend Luffy didn't die 2 times before G5
>>289268513>You just triggered... GEAR DEATH
>>289270948He likely doesn't understand how broken toonforce/reality warping is yet. Even if it's on the 'if I think outcome is funny I can do it' level. Poor kid thinks he's still just rubber and applying it to his surroundings.We need a proper deep dive on fruit logic.Where and when can you do stuff you didn't intend, but can do because your fruit has that property. Reminder: categories are bullshit, people came up with them, convince them they're limited to thing and they internalize it, and it is. Katakuri was merely stepping into the logia powerset because he thought he could and wasn't merely limited to just 'producing', but that he /was/.
>>289272997Please understand, Imu leaves the basement only once every 25 years so he's bound to get a much stronger impression from a guy with an afro than the average joe who must see them on a nearly daily basis.
>>289273078Why does oda lie so much? Even his characters spread lies all the time.
>Luffy is done>Loki is done>Zoro is fighting Sommers>Sanji is fighting Killingham>Jimbe is protecting LokiIt's HIS turn

I was uhhh... Raped.
>>289273256Then we wouldn't have so many short notice breaks. I don't know how long it takes to prepare Jump, but when Oda gets sick, they don't even have time to add "One Piece will be on break" to the previous issue, so the printing must have started by the time the deadline for the next issue hits. It can't be more than 1-2 weeks.

>>289268513Anons who said this was identical to the chapter where Luffy hit Kaido after he killed his crew just to get ragnarocked are 100% vindicated. I doubt Luffy will recover immediately. Maybe they will succeed in taking the giant children and you'll get a rescue giant children arc that takes them to mary geoise. That would put all the plot points on a collision course.The power levels felt a little inconsistent (lol) in this chapter. Imu is obviously the big bad but Luffy was totally bodied here.
>>289268513kino, all the CHOSEN PIECE brown spouting niggers suddenly went quiet.
>>289268513The last panel would work so much better if it was a double spread. I hate nu one piece so much
>>289273216Jinbe is acknowledged by everyone and their grandmas. Everyone loves Jinbe, everyone respects Jinbe, you better love and respect him too!
So why is Imu so fast anyway? Does he teleport?
I miss Rocks.
>>289273704Not really, no. A single panel is fine.
>>289273685Luffy pulled a way better fight here than vs. Kaido who took him out the moment he got serious. A better comparison would be the first Onigashima fight where Luffy was inferior but not entirely helpless.
>>289273584TCB doesn't translate sound effects so you don't see the big STAB sound effect
>Blade isn't BlackMihawk > Imu
>>289273720He has 800 years of fighting experience
>>289273720He's black
>>289273720He-he's fast!
>>289273720honto no spido!
>>289273740Mihawk dies to those small omen bombs
>>289273552They're likely budgeting 10-15 days per manuscript for him. It's at LEAST two weeks ahead given printing + transport (remember we used to get leaks basically a WEEK before it hit shelves) + magazine construction, having another week (chapter) to hold on too gives you those emergency moments of 'they're sick, had emergency event' etc to not fall behind printing.
>>289273747Hes red actually
Next chapter>Luffy: No! I can't die here... my dream>Imu: You are not Joyboy, you did well to come this far but in the end you are only human>Blood covers Luffy's face in a way that looks like a mask>Imu attempts to remove the sword but Luffy grabs it>Imu *shock*>Luffy: heh... it has been a long time>Imu: it can't be!>Luffy shatters the sword with his bare hands>Luffy: Bankai>Break next week
>be Nerona Imu>ACK phooey *spits up a gush of blood* that punch from BASE LUFFY was too much!!!! If I get another of those I'm fucking finished!!!! Time to channel the invincible strongest of the strong so I don't lose... *becomes Mihawk if he used Roger's cutlass*>be Kizaru>Ouhhh those multiple advanced COA and COC infused strikes from Gear 5 I took straight to my face sure were scary ne *brushes coat off, completely unscathed, doesn't bleed once in either manga or anime*What is the cope for this
>>289268359Finally Usopp gets a great moment.
>>289268513hahaha, imu showed luffy what a real god looks like. absolute shit performance by luffy, loki was much better.
>>289268386The top right Imu panel looks really cool.
>>289273894The punch did nothing and Kizaru is literally fodder
>>289273894the punch did everything and kizaru is literally a real god
>>289273958Of jobbers.
Luffy cant even focus on hitting Imu because of the Omen familiars chasing him.
>>289273968... like imcel and goofy
>>289273143Unless Oda died weeks ago, not happening, the chapter of the week is already done week ahead of release. Doesn't mean Oda cannot kick the bucket before the end and at a big cliffhanger to boot.
>>289273584
>>289272077Speak for yourself, you jealous furfag. We loved Jinbe since Marineford.
>>289273982Nope.
>>289273975Usopp needs to lock in and those down so Luffy can focus on hitting
>>289274024This was a weird plot point that never went anywhere, then they just killed her by stabbing her to death
>>289273894Light will always outshine the darkness.
>>289268464>calls Loki by nameSignificant
>>289268502Oh yeah, that's a pirate alright.
>>289273975Skill issue
>>289274118That type of sword looks exactly like one of the swords by the throne room that is supposed to belong to one of the first 19 kings
>>289274141It's the most generic looking sword possible lol
>>289268513Watch this be a rubber clone while Luffy sneaks up on Imu form behind.
>>289274181It’s secretly jinbe’s ship and he pulled luffy underwater when no one was looking
>>289268345After this hit he lost the battle. Went on defensive and when he did attack>>289268464It's was brushed off. I assume IMU is going to be the Madara of One Piece
>>289274181Goofyfag cope is crazy
>>289274206Are you implying Luffy is going to croak? I'm just tying to make sense of it.
>>289274102He did call both him and Luffy by their names multiple times already.
>>289269779They share a certain affiliation.
What was the point in the genie transformation if it did nothing? Also, is the Chadrul route the only way Imu is getting laid out this arc?
>>289274226Luffy was completely outmatched, its not just the stabbing issue, hes just too fucking weak to do shit
>>289274249When?
>>289274252Luffy will probably level up his haki again.
>>289274279e.g.
>Apologise to Loki right now.
>shows up late to the fight>declares Loki dead when he isn't>Dies himselfRufy bros?
>>289268974By shitposter "logic", this confirms Mihawk to be stronger than Imu.
>>289268315why is he mad
>>289274306Acknowledged.
>>289274340Too many jobbers around
>>289268333I do like how luffy and imu's powers contrast each other
>>289268421CHAAAAAAAAAAAADBE
>>289274340
>>289268440based jinbe always waiting on the captain's word
>>289274340Because this goofball is making him remember his great friend and he isn't HIM.
>>289268513good chapter. thanks OP
>>289271658>dude i rubberized my body into paint and a hard batting helmet separate from my body
