Bossfight music begins anti-shinra-action

What did you think of this week's chapter?

One Piece will be on break next week luffy-exhausted

Poll on the future of One Piece discussion threads

It has been requested we move the discussion threads to follow the official release instead of the TCB release because translation quality. This would mean the thread is more consistently on Sunday mornings approximately 3 days after scanlations are out.

If you're okay with this, post luffy-wave

If you prefer we continue following TCB releases, post luffy-zoned-out

I loved that bit. The world is ending around him basically but he's just pogging out to be free from the earthly shackles

Holy shit this was a chaotic chapter! It feels like 2-3 crammed into one with all the characters we're following. I'm literally going pepe-silvia with all the connections.

The parallels between Teach and Shanks escaping is interesting. They're born from the same place with completely different heritage and subsequent upbringings, it implies they're more foils than Luffy/Blackbeard

Also luffy-wave I don't mind posting on Sundays

Garp seems to be getting some crucial character development. I wrote this fanfic last week:

How Garp should dieKoby should be the one to kill Garp in a future battle over marijoa. After the fight:

Koby(furious): GARP SENSEI! I OWE YOU EVERYTHING! WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST STOP FIGHTING FOR THOSE MONSTERS, EVEN AFTER ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT WERE REVEALED ABOUT THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS?!

Garp(dying): Cough, cough... Shut up! You think I didn't know all that already? You can't make an old dog change his ways!

Koby: W-what are you talking about?

Garp(whispering): The truth is, I had my chance at God valley. My brave son took the chance to remain human, but I was too much of a coward to do the same... It was then, that I became one of them... One of... the monsters (transforms)

Narrator: Monkey D. Garp, Dog-Dog fruit model bootlick-terrier, secret God's Knights pet

Garp: I'm already dead... inside

Koby: Nani?

Garp: Don't act surprised, I've always been nothing more than the governments dog! You see that cap? I wear it to remind me of my shame... (coughs blood) Ever since God Valley, all I wanted was to train marines until I train someone strong enough to stop me from doing the dirty work of those disgusting tenryuubito... No pirate ever could. Finally, someone stepped up to the job!

Koby(biting his lip):...

Garp: I don't ask for forgiveness, because I don't deserve it. But I'm proud of you boy! Thank you for finally setting me free!

Koby(crying): G-Garp sensei!

Garp: They might not care, but tell my rotten son and grandson... I'm... proud of them... too... (dies smiling)

One Piece if Oda wasn't fucking around

I’d prefer to follow TCB but don’t feel super strong either way

I am ok with moving the chapter discussion to coincide with the official release.

Rocks saying that Imu is "the world" adds some really interesting context to Van Augur saying that their goal is also "the world" during Egghead.
