#chapter 486

Thoughts:

- Ok, One Piece wiki tells me we still got 4 chapter (with this one) in this arc but the main action is done. So this is post-Thriller Bark segment. I’m excited, these post-segments are always great

- Chapter title: “Piano” …did Oda named that chapter at random?

- What a daring escape! What a successful heist! Who’s escaping

- Oh, it’s Absalom and Hogback, they’re running from Thriller Bark on a now not-invisible ship. They couldn’t find Perona, so she’s gone forever I guess

- But they got Moria! (How? He’s like, THAT big)

- Hogback is practically a mummy right now. Why are you even alive

- They’re talking about Crocodile and Blackbeard right now. What, do they want to change henchmaster or what

- Absalom got a newspaper. I wish normal mail was as efficient like One Piece mail storks

- !!!!!!!!!!!

- “Captain of Whitebeard Pirates Division Nr 2: “Firefist Ace” is imprisoned in Impel Down” D: D: D:

- So Ace lost his duel with Blackbeard!

- Well, at least we know where we’ll go next? Prison break time!

- I think Hogback and Absalom really will change masters. Or are they bachelors

- With Straw Hats

- Lol, everyone slept whole day in the courtyard

- Hobo Pirates are fine, all of them! And just don’t want to leave outsides. They’re “Sunbathing in tears”! I would too, if I spent three years without sun

- Anyway, Sanji will feed them all!

- Oh wow, look at that! Nami got her treasure! (Perona stashed everything on Sunny when she wanted to run away but as we know, Kuma vanished her)

- Wait. Captain Lola and Nami recognized each other! Even though Nami only met Lola’s shadow! POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

- Oh holy sh*t, Nami is giving away some of her treasure, Power of Friendship really has no bounds

- Hobo Pirates love Straw Hats So MUCH :D

- “Is Zoro awake yet?” ZORO! What about Zoro!?

- “This is the first time I’ve seen so many wounds on Zoro’s body.” Try “on anyone’s body” Chopper

- “Really… he was so close to losing his life. I’m sure something must have happened when we were knocked out.” Yeah

- Why so silent, Brook?

- Wait, Hobo Pirates saw everything? What?

- …Sanji?

- “Why? You were pretty awesome too!” Oh, he doesn’t want everyone to know what happened. Just as Zoro would want it to be. Sanji, you’re a real one

- But they told him about that pain stuff so now Sanji knows

- “Just keep your mounts shut!!” goddammit, it’s amazing, everything here is amazing

- “This guy is super cool!” right?

- Oh, Robin eavesdropped. So she knows too

- Anyway, FEAST TIME!!!

- Brook is so happy :D you go, Grandpa

- Franky and Brook are already on the table and party just started, I just know it will be great

- Zoro sleeps

- DON’T MAKE HIM DRINK WINE WHILE IN COMA LUFFY thought I thing he would appreciate the gesture

- Oh, would you look at that, Brook found some piano! So that’s why chapter title

- “If it’s an instrument, I can play it!” Another genius, I swear, these Straw Hats

- Oh, now Brook tells Sanji he saw/knows everything. That’s 4 out of 9 guys, how long can you keep it a secret from Luffy, really?

- “Comrades… isn’t it such a wonderful thing?” Right?

- So many feeling, so little words

- “Don’t put me and him into the same topic, I’m not an idiot like him” no Sanji, you are, you’re just a bigger tsundere

- And now Brook plays a song :)

- Bink’s Brew, sounds like a good song. Think I saw it somewhere, gotta play it later

- “Hey Brook! I know this song! Shanks and the guys used to sing it!” Luffy :)

- “All pirates sang it in the old days. During hard times and happy times…”  

- “You’re gonna become one of us?” oh, Luffy remembered his Main Objective: Get a Musician

- Brook tells Luffy about Laboon and Luffy says they met him!

- “If Laboon finds out you’re okay… he will be so happy!” oh no, there’s something in my eye

- “You really met Laboon? Even after 50 years, he… He’s waiting for me?” I don’t want to cry but I will. Manga, stop it

- Oh, if Brook’s crying, I can too

- Dammit, not flashback with tiny Laboon

- These pirates played a song JUST FOR HIM

And just like that, they leave everyone in tears.
