#chapter 838

The last few chapters put a lot in perspective for the fans. It’s the sad truth of the Strawhat pirates not being ready to take on a Yonko. This is one of the four most powerful people in the One Piece world. How did we respond? We sent the Captain Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Brook, and three people we don’t even really know. Namely Carrot, Peckoms, and Pedro. Zoro, Robin, Franky, and Usopp are not there! They are so important in fights. Sanji most likely can’t help either, at least until later. So we have only one of our three strongest. AND CRACKER CUT THROUGH HIS HAKI! Not only that but SANJI is AFRAID of someone. This chapter was just a huge red flag reminding us that these are not warlords (which we still haven’t gotten past the Mihawk hurtle from them yet...Zoro....) but instead Yonko’s. At the idea of a SINGLE Yonko fighting, the World Government had gathered all THREE admirals with ALL THE WARLORDS. So yeah, while the warlords have fallen pretty easily in retrospective, this is no where near the same level. 

Remember when Shanks showed up? They knew they barley had a chance against one yonko. Of course I’m going to assume Shanks is actually stronger since he fended off Kaido’s men to get to the war, but still. We only have half the crew going after a Yonko. We needed over five thousand men to handle Dressrosa, and that was one Kingdom and one warlord. Now we have a yonko and TWO kingdoms. 

What is the point of this? I’m saying Luffy and the others are going to need outside help, and fast. Otherwise, they just may not survive, let alone save Sanji. And the real kicker: we have no idea what is going on with the Zoro and Law group either. I mean, I’m really happy to focus on Sanji right now, this is his arc after all. However it’s been over a week since everyone left Zou. I’m sure the others are at Wano by now, so what is going on there when we have a crew and a half facing a second Yonko?
