Bajrang Bali or Lord Hanuman is a Monkey deity from hinduism mythology.. When he was a child, Lord hanuman tried to eat the Sun, coz he thought it was a fruit..

While Monkey D luffy,  when he was a child by accidentally eats a  fruit that later knowned as The Sun God.... and hanumans father was the wind god

Hanuman was the inspiration for sun wukong which also fits with luffys association with sun wukong

Chapter title: 20 Years

This chapter was definitely an emotional one, I cried, you cried, the whole world cried.

For the frontpage of this chapter we're still on wholecake island, and it looks like the germa 66 guys are still trying to infiltrare chocolat town? So are they the figures shown on the last page? Hm... it didn't look like them...

Anyways,

Luffy just told Momonosuke to move onigashima out of the way so he could punch the shit out of Kaido and put an end to him, which Momonosuke is, of course, still struggling with...

Luffy is ready to punch Kaido with a fist as big as an entire island, and more than five times as big as Kaido himself and instead of moving out of the way or dodging the attack, Kaido's pride is on the line as a Yonko of the seas, and so he says

"Very well, I'll take this attack head on."

"Did you know strawhat, this country's 'hero' was burned to death 20 years ago"

And just like he burned Oden to death, he transforms into another dragon form, much bigger than his usual form, the Flaming drum dragon.

And he's planning on "vaporizing" Luffy's fist...

But because of Luffy's conqueror's coating, he can attack Kaido without touching him - he uses an attack called the 'Bajrang Gun'

Bajrang is a reference to the Hindu god, Hinuman- a divine monkey god (AND!! I JUST READ -- Bajrang is the son of the wind god - and we've always speculated that Dragon has some sort of fruit connected to the weather, storm or wind!! Maybe he has the powers of the Wind-Wind fruit, or even an actual Wind God fruit?)

This chapter also just solidifies what an absolute piece of shit person Orochi is, truly one of the most despicable villains of one piece...

AND

you can't tell me this doesn't look like Zoro- like how is this not Zoro's dad? or related lmao

Him and the rest of the Daimyo's of Wano faced off against Kaido and refused to view Orochi as the shogun - hence him being captured!! Oh well... we'll see what happens.

And again... these flashbacks are just proving how awful Orochi and Kaido both are, making them even more evil. This above panel was so tragic, a mother looking for food carrying a crying baby on her back.

Let's have the rest of the Ebisu town follow suit. Their bellies will stay empty and their loved ones will continue to keel over... but they won't be able to do anything except grin brightly!! They'll never stop laughing.

And this piece of shit Orochi is still tormening Hiyori, he has a million lives I swear... but then !!

!!!!!!! WHAT DID I SAYYYYY WHAT DID I SAY WAS GOING TO HAPPEN??? DID I NOT SAY DENJIRO WAS TOO QUIET?? THAT HE WASN'T SHOWN ENOUGH?? THAT HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING``??? I KNEW HE WOULD I KNEW HE WOULD AND GOOD!! GOD IT'S SO GOOD THAT HE WAS THE ONE TO KILL (??) OROCHI AFTER HAVING TO SPEND 20 YEARS AT HIS SERVICE AND PRETENDING TO BE WITH HIM DENJIRO I LOVE YOU YOURE AMAZING YOU DESERVED THIS

AND AS HE'S DOING THIS A LANTERN SAYING "PLEASE MAKE OROCHI DISAPPEAR" FLOATING UP IN THE SKY? I SERIOUSLY CRIED SERIOUSLY

Another one... Free us from this hell. and Give me a sip of clear wate. This is so tragic, and people like saying there's no stake to this war. There are no stakes? Not the people starved for food and water? Not the people locked up and forced to labour for Kaido and Orochi? They're not stakes to this war?

Oda put this set of panels right beneath the panel of Denjiro beheading Orochi:

“Please make Orochi disappear.” Connected. Very appropriate, actually, because we are clearly going in this direction now that both Denjiro and Hiyori – the two people who have spent years living and laughing and drinking with Orochi, while wishing to see him dead – are in the same place as Orochi for the first time since the banquet.

And this here series of panels is right after. “Free us from this hell.” Painful and evocative, but it is followed by this:

I don’t think anyone will mistake this for coincidence. Kaidou is the one who made Wano into what it is today, Kaidou is the one who needs to be defeated to free Wano  – Orochi is insignificant in comparison, because he would have been nothing without Kaidou. But the people are praying for the hell to end and their prayers are about to reach Onigashima; they’re about to reach Luffy and Momo.
