Chapter 1012 — Itch
This chapter was a pure delight and the unparalleled highlight and thrill of my week!
As foreseen, the scabbards are splitting up.
If they survive. If.
I just love Nekomamushi’s grin! He’s so severe and promising his opponents a world of pain.
Go and get that sticky creep, you crazy cat!
And what will Momo (and the peeking Shinobu) learn? So exciting!
But seriously:
THIS was the highlight of the chapter and of the whole bloody Wano arc so far:
EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!
AND THIS JUST CONTINUES THE GREATNESS.
Law, sitting cross-legged on Sanji who saved them on pure instinct, before rushing to help Kid fight Big Mom (and probably save Nami and Usopp in the process). Sanji showing skill? in bandaging up Zoro. The tactical discussion between curly-brow and mosshead, without any insults. The speech bubbles and font choice for Zoro, showing how injured he is (it’d be neat to know how it was done in the originals). Zoro’s unwavering faith in Luffy.
Also:
Got to love the weakling duo.
ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SHOW RESOLVE.
Nami’s love for children really shines through. And with Zeus coming their way coupled with Big Mom having a new homie (and Prometheus earlier “we should dump Zeus, wink wink nudge nudge”) — she will be able to take on Ulti!
This was such a great chapter.
I give it eleven out of ten and a parakeet patch.
Bonus:
Cover art of Kid with tiny birbs.
