#op chapter 1064

[zackfairy]

Mild One Piece manga spoilers maybe?? For recent chapters (like 1064+??).

Can y'all believe the Lore Dump TM in One Piece right now?? Freaking crazy.

I don't even know where to begin processing all this information.

The Ohara bit stood out to me though. Stabbed me right in my poor heart. I'm sp happy for Robin. I love Inherited Will TM right now.

I'm sorry, I saw my favorite fishmen and all my brain went out the window. Why is baby Jinbe so cute???

Chapter 1064: Take to the Seas

RED ALERT! The Law vs. Blackbeard fight isn’t being off-screened! RED ALERT!

The cover story confirmed what just about everyone theorized last chapter: Kuzan was one of the intruders at Chocolat Town and kidnapped Pudding.

Of course, Van Augur’s presence here indicates this happened during Wano since he’s at the fight with Law – and Pudding is being held captive on the ship. So, where’s Kuzan now? The Hearts have their hands full with the group of Blackbeard Pirates who’ve already shown themselves; the last thing they need is a former admiral to show up. (Not to mention the other missing BB Pirates like Shiryu and Lafitte.)

Of course, Kuzan is also likely undercover (perhaps for SWORD? Considering Drake is also apparently MIA, I wonder if we’ll get some payoff there, especially with Drake being the one to set Law free in Wano.)

It’s definitely surprising to see a cover story so directly tie into present events, my goodness.

Anyway, speaking of Law and the Hearts…

So much going on here! The Heart Pirate with the mask gets a name (Hakugan, or snow goose), Shachi and Penguin head for the water, and Law immediately jumps in with awakened attacks when they were his last resort against Big Mom. My boy is getting more and more powerful.

And the Hearts get to show out, too! Suck it, haters.

I love the idea that the Hearts are most dangerous in the water; it fits so well with using a submarine and their sea animal names. (Plus, Law has that mysterious “Water” part of his name. We ever going to learn about why that was taboo? It would be interesting if it had to do with some kind of affinity for the sea.) They’ve also got excellent teamwork, as we see Bepo directing Jean Bart to protect Law from Augur.

Shock Wille brought Big Mom to her knees, and the pain Blackbeard feels is amplified because of his fruit, so this must’ve been excruciating. (Blackbeard might be smart but he’s also overconfident; it seems he realized his mistake in not being aware Law had awakened his fruit, though). However, he also has insane stamina and durability, so he keeps fighting on.

The bottom panel is great. I love the side angle of Law to show both Kikoku and his fruit as well as his waving cloak while Blackbeard looms in the background.

And I love seeing Law’s brain working.

He’s got a crew that excels in the water, and Blackbeard’s got a crew full of anchors. His crew knows exactly what to do because they’re clearly a well-oiled machine.

And that smirk *swoon*

So, Pudding’s on Blackbeard’s ship, but where’s Coby?

Speaking of Pudding, she’s looking confident for being a prisoner of another Emperor.

Big Mom’s (and, by extension, Kaido’s) fate remains ambiguous here. Honestly, I’d prefer it if both she and Kaido had perished (we saw them in a volcano that then erupted, for goodness’ sake) but this is One Piece.

The final panel of the Blackbeard vs. Law fight has me nervous.

Black Vortex draws everything into itself, which allows Blackbeard to use his DF nullifying powers. I find it hard to believe that Law wouldn’t have studied up on Blackbeard and would be unaware of his ability, so I’m hoping he has a means of countering its effects. However, we’ve seen it used to great effect on some powerful people, so… 

I still think Blackbeard needs to have some kind of win here, especially after losing out on Hancock’s fruit not long ago. He’ll likely getting Law’s Poneglyphs somehow, but I don’t think Law dies. Maybe he’s captured (Blackbeard, Law, and Coby being in one place would give us the perfect chance to learn about Rocky Port, after all) or maybe there is interference from an outside source, allowing Law to escape. 

But it seems like Oda is giving Law and the Hearts a chance to show out before things turn.

Speaking out outside sources…

How the hell is Akainu hearing about this fight while it’s in progress? Feels like more evidence in favor of Kuzan being undercover.

(Also interesting that this island is called Winner Island. Not sure what to make of that yet.)

As for the other plotline, I don’t have a ton to say. A few high- (and low-) lights:

Oda continues bringing in SBS material with young Jinbei and old Luffy from a bad future. 

We get some background on Kuma from Jinbei, and I had to laugh at Jinbei not sugarcoating anything. (Also, lightsaber!)

Clearly, there’s more going on with Kuma (who is also apparently part of some special race), Vegapunk, and the Revolutionaries than anyone knows, which is supported by the exchange between Shaka and Dragon at the end of the chapter.

Also, massive eyeroll at the fanservice in this chapter. We get a shot of Bonney, who is being very serious, with her ass front and center, and then the outfits Nami and Robin are put in…

Even Franky – FRANKY – is wearing pants. C’mon, Oda. This is honestly just gross.

Meanwhile, Zoro and Brook hang out with the ship because they don’t trust Lilith. Smart. They may end up being the first to interact with CP0 then.

Minus the brutal fanservice, this was a great chapter. I’m going to be on tenterhooks for the next week waiting to see more of the Law and Blackbeard fight.

Look how cute Nami and Robin are in these new outfits!

Usopp is right, Robin looks really cool and tough 😍

[ikkaku-of-heart]

Me at everyone who ever even fucking implied the Heart Pirates were "weak" or "useless" or "non-combatants" pre-chapter 1064:

Yes I'm still salty AF about last chapter (and especially the grossness of the fandom in regards to how they treated Law) but ok Oda, you have managed to provide a bandaid for the horrible flesh wound your bullshit dealt me.

[swordsofsaturn]

i love this

On the topic of the new chapter 1064!

[ Translation for those who cannot read my handwriting. ]

Brook: I’m letting them have their little costume moment.. my fit would overshadow them. ]

chapter 1064—we got ourselves a name

Got ourselves a snow goose!

Oda running with the marine life theme so many of us have exploited for our fics and head canons, and it feels so damn good.

It's cold up north. Cold, cold, cold, cold. So, not only can Law do this:

(cut Stronger in half using Amputate, thereby dislodging Blackbeard and Doc)

to Blackbeard's under-prepared crew on their only slightly upgraded raft boat, Law's crew (namely Shachi)

can do

this! Blowing poison apple bombs right back at Doc. I guess that's the equivalent of an Orca's blowhole.

And, I guess that maybe Oda got tired of the power scalers too. Like, Law's got his high bounty for a reason and it's nice for Oda to show

his crew in action.

Captain. Must protec!

(though surely Jean Bart would be a very easy target). So, Law does pull out what was his awakened power (it wasn't Amputate, Teach), and Blackbeard gets pierced (and shocked)

with Shock Wille, causing Van Augur to chastise him

and to cause him to use his Law-like powers to rescue Blackbeard. (Blackbeard's downfall will be his carelessness, even though he's obviously doing okay. Master planner up against master impulsive?).

Also, the effects of Shock Wille look a little like directions of some of Doflamingo's attacks.

Van Augur thinks they're under-prepared enough to ask:

if they should return to the ship, and he elegantly uses his passengers to make his own journey more comfortable too, it looks like. Also, so long as he doesn't fall in the water, he's a good match for Law in terms of being able to find solid ground (with his warp warp fruit).

So, I didn't know Blackbeard had such dedication (we finish what we start! But his crew doesn't have the same conviction). Also, like Big Mom, Blackbeard's going to be a villain that Oda will have fun making look ridiculous (then again, there was that Kaidou skipping rope thing).

I'm guessing that "Blackbeard's here!" is Bepo or someone else from his crew. Law's getting his Room ready already. He's tactical. BUT, like Blackbeard, maybe a little too much hubris. Law's pulling his Lenin face again.

Law's crew really is the wrong one to deal with on the ocean, huh? Makes sense. And there were a few meta last week that said that sinking all the devil fruit users wold be the way to go, and what a perfect plan it would be except for

it doesn't seem that Law knows about Blackbeard's power (which seems unlike Law), or he doesn't know how it works. (As an aside, did he take Boa's power, or did Rayleigh step in just in time?). Or he's just, really, really, worried, cos his big willy just ain't gonna cut it if Blackbeard gets his power or absorbs Law himself. Ahhh. **(Law's powers that spread shock waves and threads and radiation might be able to counter something?)

And back a few frames—Pudding's on board and just as she doesn't seem to realise about Law and Kid bringing about Big Mom's death (although she said "if" she's alive), Law doesn't seem to know about Black Vortex (Black Gravity?), and Blackbeard doesn't seem to know even the most basic of Law's powers (although, maybe he does and that's why he's got all those devil fruit users (and Pudding) on the boat currently under attack from the Hearts. Devil Fruits are Teach's speciality, after all).

And

cover page. Kuzan confirmed! Ah, I don't think he's part of SWORD, cos then Punk Hazard probably wouldn't have happened. I read such a good OC/Law story back in the day (2016/17?) on FFN that had Kuzan undercover in the Blackbeard Pirates, and I don't read OC fics much. Loved it. So, Sanji will have to come, because two of his loves will probably end up captured (Pudding already is, but Law, too).

What do you make of Akainu's words? I can't find mention of Winner Island in the Wiki, but I didn't search too thoroughly. I don't think Law's SWORD either, but might be (the theory's gone out there). Could they be waiting for that? Or Akainu wanted to sweep in on Kuzan? (Guess I should call Akainu, Sakazuki). But there'd be no reason to wait then. Anyhoo, other exciting development is this from the end:

Vegapunk working with the Revolutionaries. Kuma's backstory (and Bonney's and Vegapunk's and Dragon's get more and more entwined and intriguing). Also!

stuff like this (Punk Records...or Vegapunk...or why is the first part hidden?) makes me thing that Kid will definitely be relevant some time soon.

I just love that Oda is utilising all of his SBS drawings and inventing a few more

(70 year old Luffy—A glimpse at a possible future!). And the other kids

are alright (@lorillee said that Oda's going boob-crazy cos he had to flatten them for all of Wano in the traditional kimonos, however, I will say, he's not gone as OTT on them as he has in the past. And, yeah, Franky's got on more clothes than Robin.

The pervevication (made up word) really isn't equal for folks that randomly say it is. Put Sanji, Usopp (and later Zoro, Luffy, etc.) in jockey briefs and the equivalent to what Robin and Nami are wearing and then you might have something.

The other two kids are watching the ship and will rescue someone when the menace becomes apparent (more apparent) later in the arc.

Loved the chapter.

One Piece Chapter 1064 [Spoilers]

So Timeline of Bad Ending is Still a possibility huh? Future is not certain and it can keep changing and we just met a Luffy who would fail to achieve his dream here!

Odachii!!!! I love you and hate you so much! You can’t keep foreshadowing under gags!

[daeryn]

OP 1064 SPOILERS

kuma’s a lunarian i’m calling it rn

[joysstar]

Perhaps I'm too eager after waiting so long. Perhaps I want this encounter in the next chapter very badly.

When I saw the small talk between Vegapunk and Dragon, I told myself, this is the right moment.

This is the best opportunity to provoke the encounter between Luffy and Dragon.

Luffy is just right there on Vegapunk's island and he tells Dragon he's going to die very soon.

I'm sure the scientist is talking about CP-0's threat and his future possible assassination.

Of course, Dragon doesn't want to believe it, obviously he cares about Vegapunk. This guy is his friend and apparently a great ally.

If Dragon loses Vegapunk not only he would lose a good friend but also one of his greatest allies.

It's not a time to joke. It's not a time to laugh. It's not a time to lose time.

It's about time to take action. It's time to send men to protect Vegapunk.

Of course, Luffy's going to protect the scientist even though he made shady things in Kuma's body.

Perhaps Dragon will send Sabo and Lindbergh, perhaps Sabo will force Dragon to meet his son and he will force Luffy to talk to Dragon.

Because Sabo has been created to solve the issues in the Monkey D. family and to solve the issues between Ace and Luffy.

Perhaps for the very first time (and I don't count Impel Down or the Straw Hats's training) RA and Straw Hats will fight side by side!

And it's the perfect time to reveal what's the thing which destroyed Lulusia Kingdom because Vegapunk knows dark things about that weapon.

I'm just hoping too much but it's been such a long time!

[ishipmyotp]

Honestly one of the most shocking things from the new chapter was that Oda put pants on Franky

[migila]

I gotta admit I was surprised by this; I always took Shachi as the little on the weak side comic relief -type. Guess I was wrong.

[sant0ryuu]

these are the vibes i aspire to have

[theladyofsorrows]

Not Blackbeard getting his dirty hands on my girl Pudding too. First Koby and now her too 😭
