#chapter 1039

And, yeah, it seems like the anime is being fairly faithful to the manga. Kid and Law's finale stretched over two chapters, so I don't think we'll see Gear 5 until a few episodes yet. I love the sass. AND Izou <3

The anime stuck pretty close.

No caps (from the anime), but I did want to say, Ikkaku with a sword! I don't think she featured in the manga caps (could be wrong), so I'm glad she's in the anime, and the new Kid Pirates got voiced too. Anyway. I loved these chapters, and I think the anime is doing them well.

Okay so, chapter 1039... time for Kid and Law to show out--

The title of the chapter is: The Main Act

(which to be honest tricked me into thinking we were getting more Luffy and Kaido, thanks Oda!)

First of all, I think it's relevant to mention that Momonosuke thought he heard someone calling for him, but I'm too dumb right now to figure out who that could be OH WAIT WHAT IF IT'S ZUNISHA????? WHAT IF HE HEARD ZUNISHA??

calling it right now

anyways!

you know what's funny? In my last post I said that Kid always seems to wait for Law to move before doing so himself? THANK YOU ODA FOR CONFIRMING THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES

Also I'm dying at Kid saying he's got a 'Trump card' and Law answeing with Oh? What comes after a bull attack? An elephant? A Hippo?

ALSO!! Big Mom is literally insane!! Her bones got broken but she could just exchange some life to heal them...

the yonko's always have so much to say though, like big mom didn't have to say all that 💀 💀 this is why you need to get beaten though, big mom, ya'll yonkos have had your time to shine you're getting too old now

I also think everyone needs to stop sleeing on Big Mom because this attacks looks really damn cool

but this is nothing... really nothing COMPARED TO LAW'S KROOM AGAIN BECAUSE DO YOU SEE THE LENGTH OF THE SWORD DO YOU SEE THIS ATTACK

LAAAAAAAAAAWWWW???????? OH MY GOD

and then we've got kid making a giant gun to shoot laser beams ??? at big mom ???? finishing moves because he wants the cred but still this is definitely his coolest attack yet!! i love kid's power but have been a little unimpressed by his moves but this was so cool like finally

let me be more precise - it's an electromagnetic canon

and don't you just love the grins on their faces like

Your ERA IS OVER NOW!

LET HER KNOW

this was another great chapter like always-

“I WANT FREEDOM”? “I WANT FR- 

Okay, looks like Law’s done something that will either help of hinder Yamato and Momo and Zunesha in their attempt to stop Onigashima from blowing up, and more so, to stop it from landing on and blowing up the capital of Wano.

But more about that later.

So, yeah, remember how I wrote about Momo staying back in Zou to have a chat with Zunesha in chapter 822?

well, the conversation seems to have borne fruit.

But on to our two bickering biddies! Oda’s gotta love Kid and Law. Really, I don’t care what the dudebros say, and maybe he is pandering to fans, but the truly faithful have been waiting since 2008, right? Again, it’s not my main ship, but it’s one of them and it is fun. So, Kid built this:

and it flattened Big Mom after she’d been shocked through with Law’s shock wille. The crews are:

fearful (Beast Pirates), and ecstatic (Kid and Heart Pirates, and Pandaman has defected to Kid’s crew from the looks of things!). (Someone blew the pic up.It’s a t-shirt design. Law’s not the only one with a thing for bears!). I’m not sure who got blown away last week, but I’m sure they’re okay this week. Shock Wille left Big Mom

with her bones broken from the inside.

So it’s pretty effective (except she survived), and Kid pummels her once all her structure is broken, I guess, which is what Law is complaining about below (and what the page above actually opens with ):

The snark! I can’t. And they’re both hanging out on the neck of that giant bull! Better seen here (once Big Mom gets her bones back) (After the cut):
