#chapter 1037

This chapter was... a LOT.

Chapter title: Shuron Hakke

roughly translated it would be "Sake Dragon Bagua" much like Kaido's Raimei Hakke (Thunder bagua)

In this chapter we get to see more of Luffy versus Kaido and Kaido is out here getting drunk becoming the real drunken master he was destined to become

facing the threat of luffy and his crew, and the fire festival being "ruined" - what did kaido do?

He laughed.

iykyk

which was hilarious by the way

which brings us to kaidos four different stages of drunk

BEFORE THAT THOUGH, LET'T TAKE A MOMENT TO FOCUS ON WHAT KAIDO TELLS LUFFY:

"You fool, I've already acknowledged your strength. I can't remember the last time I was challenged to a serious one-on-one fight"

I think the assumption here would be that him and Shanks never did fight before Marineford... Shanks only prevented him from going, in some other way because if they fought it wouldn't be weird to say Shanks would pose a threat big enough to challenge Kaido

ANYWAYS

LAUGHING DRUNK.

SAD/DEPRESSED DRUNK

(someone needs to check on my mans kaido, he really went into a depressive state there... talking about now being able to protect one lousy castle and not being good enough 😭 💀)

CRYING DRUNK

(And, by the way, he tried to attack luffy who evaded and kicked him the hell outta there 🕺 🎶 🌟 🌸 💐)

yup yup, that's just MY mc going head to head with the strongest creature in the world

anD BEFORE PEOPLE START YELLING YES KAIDO WENT UP AGAINST A MILLION PEOPLE BUT SO DID LUFFY???? NEITHER ONE OF THEM ARE AT 100%???? STOP TRYING TO TAKE AWAY FROM LUFFY'S STRENGTH

ANGRY DRUNK

AND as luffy says he's haki is getting stronger ! Kaido is literally getting stronger as time passes, he wasn't even putting in that much effort when he fought before which is why he's saying this is the first time he's felt like it's a serious one-on-one, because luffy's the only one who's made kaido have to fight at full strength

AND ALSO LOOK AT THIS

that is just... insane.

it looks even better colored (@/wodencreativ on twitter)

LIKE LOOK AT THAT

LUFFY REALLY IS THAT GUY

anyways !

we cut to the gorosei looking ready to drop a rap album talking about how robin is "probably captured" and how it wouldn't be weird for someone to "unexpectedly die" in war right now and everyone on twitter are tryna argue who will die and i refuse to join that conversation

then they talk about how it would be prime time to erase that nuisance, aka the devil fruit... that they world government "gave a unique name" --- WHAT IS IT LITERALLY I CANT THINK OF WHAT IT COULD BE THAT HAS A UNIQUE NAME FOR A DEVIL FRUIT????

IS IT ZUNISHA????????

WHO BYE THE WAY

SHOWED UP AT WANO??????? IS THAT WHERE IT WAS WALKING FOR SO LONG?

AND REMEMBER THE SWORD THAT WE SAW???? THE GIANT ONE NEXT TO THE SKULL?????? SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ZUNISHA MIGHT ACTUALLY PICK IT UP?????? LIKE THE LAST PICTURE BELOW?????

anwyas. break next week.

LOOK!!!

Gives me legit Enies Lobby vibes oof

ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW FUCKING ZUNESHA CAME??????

If it was up to me, I‘d think the awakening or hidden DF is related to Zunesha. What if Zunesha is actually an ancient Zoan user, who got punished to stay mindlessly like that and run around? What if the DF is so special that it‘is- or at least is connected to the ancient weapon Uranus???

ALSO I CAN‘T DEAL WITH KAIDO‘S DRUNK STAGES LMAOOOOOOO, THIS DUDE IS GOING THROUGH IT

Btw RIP CLOAK LUFFY, YOU‘LL BE MISSED 🥲🥲🥲

I CAN‘T BELIEVE THAT KAIDO‘S HAKI GOT EVEN STRONGER BUT THAT LUFFY‘S STILL HOLDING UP????

Legit one of the best chapters and I‘m saying this every fucking week!!! AS LONG AS WANO IS, IT TRULY HAS GIVEN US THE BIGGEST LORE POINTS OF ONE PIECE! For that alone is Wano becoming one if my favourite arcs. Congrats Oda, you mad man. You‘re doing it again and again, I enjoy this journey so much

Really, I did not expect Kaido to get seriously drunk in the middle of his fight with Luffy.
