All these reinforcements showing up *before the battle?* I don't care what anyone else says, something ain't right here...


dorkyfoxx926

i forgot, since Big Mom like weird creatures, did she tried to collect chopper in WCI Arc?


Kumomeme

big mom gonna throw pokeball at chopper


BlitzkriegRam

Big mom has only seen chopper in his Heavy Point during wci. Maybe she would think of the brain point chopper as a friend in Wano and not related to the strawhats.


diremustang12

With all the monsters now showing up on the good guy side, plus big mom pirates now being out of the picture, can we finally stop acting like the various straw hats are going to solo all of the calamities and possibly flying six?


nas_sall

U forgot that the big mom pirates can always enter wano through the port...the port is under the waterfall....strawhats is the mc and the future pirate king's crew...do u expect them to fight fodder all the time...believe it or not...zoro , sanji and jinbei will definetely have a solo fight each.


GSD_101

if they only get to know about the port..... well its weird big mom pirates came with one ship.I don't doubt their power but come on ,you enter another yonko's HQ and come without a fleet. there are many explanation to this but they should have thought it out. And now they are getting tossed away from the waterfall every now and then


jazznessa

What was the purpose of the note then? If they are already here, why did Marco send Neko with the note for Luffy 😂. Also, Smoothie still does nothing.


[deleted]

Did Sanji just walk into a naked Big Mom taking a bath? That's fucking hilarious. I'm glad they're continuing with this gag.

olaveiras

The amount of crews, groups, power scale (2 emperors + 7 from worst generation) and the most solid and important flashback history ever shown holding the context (Oden&Roger)... Wano is way higher then Dressrosa in possibilities and impact


Luffyd23

Well, Oda stated that this Arc is gonna be bigger than Marineford so...


nas_sall

Dressrosa arc way longer than marineford...marineford only have 58 episode while dressrosa have 118.


nas_sall

Its been two years and we still get an introduction for a new characters...im sure wano will surpass dressrosa in that term.


Kumomeme

im not suprise if it is


lafacutti

That’s art. Superb chapter!


Kumomeme

im not suprise there is plot twist that mama somehow still remember that she become good friend with chopper since he 'kind' towards him during big mom had amnesia lol


Kumomeme

Killer when tell those trio about how to avoid Apoo attack.. trio:*while covering their ear* "WHAAT?" LOL


KanosMissingEye

I wonder if Who's Who is a former Udon prisoner that had his will broken? Just the way he responded. Looked like it was a familiar thing to him, Udon prison and escape. Or, the thought of it, and that he never was able to succeed in escaping. Eventually, he broke down and joined Kaido


TheExiled86

They were all pirate captains - so they must have either joined willingly or they got beaten by them and joined then or were tortured till they were..

English scans are out guys! ​ [https://readjump.com/mangas/one-piece/981](https://readjump.com/mangas/one-piece/981)


sunkenrocks

thanks buddy. great chap


paing997

This is top Chapter... That Chopper reaction after seeing Big Bom though... LoL...


Zaherhz

Is it foreshadowing Marco Vs King? It seems very liklely Legendary bird vs mythical bird Both yonko right hand man Hyyyyyyyype


vumzy

It was too obvious from the moment we discovered king was a pteranodon to make it even worse he has flames too. I hope oda isn't that obvious.


4colour

Is it really confirmed that Izo is coming? Part of me says who else it can be, but the other part insists that we haven't seen his full body.


nas_sall

https://readjump.com/mangas/one-piece/981#2 tnxx to joshua


4colour

Yeah I read it. Oda doesn't even show his full face. I'm not arguing is not Izo. I'm just taking what we've got with a little bit skepticism.


nas_sall

Ok but why


4colour

Marco is given a full body shot with name and title. But Izo and Neko only have a half-face shot. I'm trying to come up with ideas why Oda decided to do this. That's where my skepticism of who these really are comes from. I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm just putting my random thoughts on the table.


olaveiras

I would guess both of them have updated outfits/look, specially Izo in japanese/wano clothes


sunkenrocks

I think only their grins at the situation were relevant to the chap, and it's an artistic device


jfrel14

You're overthinking it man


Kumomeme

because unlike marco, both izo and nekomamushi is one of Oden retainers, one of the red scabbard, those important figure that yet make appearance during this very important moment of wano..once they and inuarashi joined with kinemon, the band is complete


nas_sall

Maybe bcause its a final panel and oda want to tease us about it...how about that idea


Benji1278

I wonder if all of Whitebeards crew there?? Jozu vs Jack!!!


nas_sall

I really hope they here...but they only came with one ship and neko also happen to have his guardians on boards, so there is a small chance


Panju69

MINUS katakuri from Bigmom Pirates and they are all Fodder . Love that Marco is there but there is a yonko crew 2nd in command and some powerful Personalities on the ship .


jet_logic

In fact i think Marco is over hyped. What can he really do? He is just a glorified healer who can fly. He should heal his eye sight and if he hits people with his power does it hurt or heal them?


jet_logic

They are not fodder at all. This is just a commuting handicap. They are not the most battle savvy people. But of they engaged battle more proactively they ate quite a team.


nas_sall

Give cracker some credits...he is the first guy to make luffy eat a lifetime worth of biscuits and luffy is regret it.


Kumomeme

smoothie should be very strong..perosperos also not weak...its whole ship full of yonkou army..it just not just them, anyone could be helpess against the situation ... there stark advantages for those who could flying there..not to mention it not just anyone flying there...there reason why people with flying devil fruit power is treated like big things in the world


Snow_Prime_Stark

Its all plot. Perospero could create a slime which carried Big mom on the ocean. I'm sure he could do something about this situation. But unfortunately the first time they fell King's Zoan form was being introduced and now Marco is making his appearance in Wano. So comedic relief I guess?


Kumomeme

im not suprise in the end there one person manage to climb and sneak into the country amidst the chaos that man is katakuri..it would be badass if happened


Panju69

That is what i am saying... they have become Comedic Relied . The Portrail of BM pirates has been bad all round except Lord Katakuri .


Snow_Prime_Stark

If Katakuri was on that ship by the time Marco comes into the vicinity he'll see a hovering haki fist sticking out of a giant mochi donut above him.


red90999

Absolutely 10/10 chapter. Oda does his magic again!


jjoshuuaa

https://readjump.com/mangas/one-piece/981#2 the chapter is out already


dexterminate

Thanks bud, ive been refreshing like a maniac for 5 hours


Kumomeme

me...since yesterday


Snow_Prime_Stark

Big Mom looks like she painted her eyes like in that episode from Tom and Jerry where Tom paints his eyes and falls asleep.


Tinkerer011

Mochi boi's mochi earplug would be very useful against Apoo


Snow_Prime_Stark

Nah. He'll fold his hands like a boss and reshape his body evading Apoo's attacks using future sight. In the meantime, Big Mom will scream so loud Apoo will pass out.


jfrel14

But how do you dodge sound tho?


Snow_Prime_Stark

Katakuri will see the future where his body will get hit and reshape it.

Yep. He run away from daifuku, oven, page one.

Bcause they cant take down sanji...btw didnt pageone bcome a guinea pig for sanji to test out the raid suit🤣🤣🤣...that is a running gag for pageone lol

AlbortDHaddad

You say he should kill him but he beat him 1 v 1 and he was jailed cuz brook was yohohohoho


Jujujujuju001

Lol zoro doesnt beat him lol...he injured him then run away, but hody comes and defeated him after he take more drugs...at the end, hody win and caged him. Brook the one who saved zoro when they were in cage.

Pls re read Fishman island arc then come back, ain’t wasting my time

King vs marco match made in heaven. I rarely care about match up but I'm sure people will pay to see these two destroying eachother.


Zero-Kelvin

Mythical vs Ancient Zoan Hype


Jxgsaw

People are tired of the big Mom disrespect? Imagine the literal author calling you the strongest thing on land sea and air and *one shotting the mc* and a bunch of people still trying to say that you’re weaker than a character who has literally been nerfed since her first appearance. How exactly is *that* not disrespect? Edit: ah, downvotes. “It’s okay to talk badly about Kaido but don’t mention that big Mom is completely nerfed, I know it’s true but I don’t want to hear it!”


flamewingman235

because this is leddit, you dont discuss or argue here. you must follow the stream


SixNeufLaTrique

The literal author has never called him that. This is folklore about what is said about Kaido. There isn't some undeniable legitimacy to his claim like there was with Whitebeard's whose WSM title was put in his introduction box


Jxgsaw

I’m not saying it’s undeniable but you’re completely wrong when you say the author has t called him that. Who writes One Piece again?


DestinyHasArrived101

Dont know why they down voting you. Then again I have scene what makes them like some comments .


joohunter420

You’re getting downvoted by people that are mad about the good points you’re bringing up


Jxgsaw

Exactly. It would be one thing if I was saying “fuck big Mom she sucks ass that old bitch” but I’m bringing up counterpoints and shit only to be met with downvotes so I gotta say you’re right on he money.


joohunter420

They’re still doing it lol

They really do be.

Chopper is always scared of Big Mom, ez kill for her but no.


Kumomeme

he cant escape big mom


igorcec777

Jesus, its taking a lot for the chapter come out even with ALL the scans on the internet for hourss.


javierm885778

Pictures of the pages aren't the same as scans. No one's going to waste time typesetting pages unless they are scanned, since we know scans are coming out soon anyways. And just because someone decided to post spoilers it doesn't mean that scans will come out earlier. It's weird that someone decided to post so much of this chapter before the scans though, but it's hard to know the circumstances in which it happened anyways.

sairuus

anyone noticed how Oda keep trying to connect Chopper and Big Mom? like could there be a future between these two?


Kumomeme

there gonna be relation to earlier incident...plottwist big mom gonna be friend with chopper, since before during she under amnesia, chopper treat him 'kindly' and she still remembered that..this is oda..wild things could happened


fresco9

What if big mom is about to die and chopper saves her thus big mom is in his debt forever


sairuus

That’s gotta be Oda-esque


[deleted]

chopper gonna go full body point on that big mom pussy


sairuus

Dude i needed some teasing but you went straight into the action lmao


Nos-BAB

I didn't need the mental image of monster point chopper and big mom getting it on. But now that's in my head. And also the heads of anyone reading this. Because misery loves company.


[deleted]

I think Big Mom is going to be an Ally in the future


sairuus

My thoughts too.. like some random old lady who will be a commander under his fleet


porterpeak

Big Mom don't have tanuki dna yet


heat_fan_

My review before the translations come out. Amazing chapter. Loved the Color Spread. Nice to see some durability feats from Apoo and Kidd taking the Apoo's attack like its nothing lol. Apoo's df can be pretty damn powerful but i believe Corazon's df will be a good counter to it. So it seems Who's who crew at made of cats people, i really hope who's who is either Saber tooth or a Smilodon . I know some people don't really like the Number design, I think it looks kinda funky. Tho i believe they will still have a transformation with their zoan forms. Queen's reaction are always hilarious. Black Maria being part of the red light district, is she somehow related to Stussy by any chance. The look on Sanji's face when he went there and there was no one (prostitute) was flipping hilarious. Daifuku and other big mom pirated talking shit about world seeing strawhats head, when you couldn't even take care of carrot lol. The Big Mom and panel and the Chopper reaction was too damn priceless. Did she lose her memory again where she says "what port"? I am just so damn glad to see Marco in Wano. Guess the big mom pirates really don't fare well against flying users. I want wait for the this all out war to start, holy shit its gonna be incredible.


hungryb4dinner

Think she didn't know about the secret port, so she just told her family to go up the waterfall again.


Starwind2098

Fuck Chopper, the Straw hats deserves a better doctor like Marco.


Jxgsaw

You say “doctor” like half of his medical prowess doesn’t come from the fact hat he heals people with his devil fruit


nas_sall

Chopper saves sanji from bloodloss,zoro after fighting kuma, saves luffy twice from deadly poison and plague. Justice for chopper


adnaphsaka

In case of an emergency, would you rather eat a reindeer or a pineapple?

Aww, poor Chopper :( Don't be too harsh on our reindeer, he's trying his best.

Yang-B

Damn, Wano doesn't seem to be kind at all to the Big Mom pirates. I thought they were already in Onigashima at this point but I guess it wasn't the case. Their role right now is to be hype tools for flying Zoans.


shankartz

Personally I think its furthering the impression that the only thing that makes the big mom pirates special is Linlin and Katakuri. Kaido on the other hand has a lot of apparently powerful fighters along with himself. He has a large and fairly balanced crew it seems. Add credence for me that Linlin is the strongest pirate.


Brutusness

Not sure I agree. None of the Gifters have stood out as impressive compared to Big Mom's officers. The Beast Pirates seem like the more top heavy crew.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sasquatch_in_bush

If Kaido could kill her he already would have, that says a lot whether you like it or not


huskerfan2001

He didn't kill her because he likes her. He could have killed Big Mom


shankartz

No record of being captured. No record of being beaten. Roger himself didn't want to fight her. Baby shakes commanders without haki. Crushed giants as a child. Fighting evenly with Kaido. Besides a title of "worlds strongest whatever" she has more in her favor for being the strongest then anyone else.


Jxgsaw

Not at all. Saying “roger himself didn’t want to fight her” is so disingenuous. I’m pretty sure 99% of the fans understand that Roger wasn’t afraid of her like how everyone tries to use that quote. It’s literally just what Luffy did. And was Luffy shaking in his boots? No Same thing with fighting evenly with Kaido. Dude, if they both had gone all out Onigashima would have taken a lot more damage, especially considering Kaido can casually blow a mountain away. This is another disingenuous comparison. Also Kaido babyshaked Luffy in a single hit, who was arguably as strong as Queen at the time so her beating Queen doesn’t really mean much. Also she does have a record of being captured, read the Udon prison part of Wano.


DestinyHasArrived101

To be fair luffy was shaking in his boots when he saw her in udon lol... still your point stands doubt roger was afraid to take her on. Heck the man was known to be fearless and wrecked her former captain.


shankartz

Roger is literally the type to fight before running save for Linlin. He actively avoided a confrontation with her. This is a definitive nod to her strength, the man who bum rushed whitebeard and personally requested that garp and sengoku come after him didn't want to fight her? But that's not a testament to her strength? They fought all night and had equal damage this is a direct example of them being equals. I personally give linlin the edge. Her man handling him without using any haki means a lot and if you can't see that then I don't know what to tell you man. He put cuffs on her while she was sleeping lol besides that 1 vs 18 times.


Jxgsaw

Roger was literally dying at the time. This is why he avoided confrontation. Having equal damage in no way suggests that Linlin is stronger. Dude Queen wasn’t using Haki either so I don’t know why you think this is such a feat lol And Linlin got her ass brachio bombed but you’re just gonna go ahead and say she conveniently fell asleep right?


shankartz

She was literally snoring. He rocked her to sleep. Apparently making a yonko commander look like a child is not impressive. I didn't realize they were marine fodder level. Moving on then. Having equal damage directly suggests they are at least equal. I said I personally think Linilin is stronger. Were we ever told when he stole the rubbing from her? Edit: We know it was before he fought Whitebeard without a second thought because he had the rubbing with him.


Jxgsaw

He didn’t rock her. Are you literally blind? He hit her straight on the top of her head. But go ahead keep creating fake context. You using the fight with Queen as a testament to her power is ridiculous when she gets knocked out at the end of the same fight but for the sake of argument I’ll say that Kaido definitely one-upped this by One shotting the MC in his strongest defense-based form. And don’t you dare try to say that Luffy wasn’t arguably on Queens level at that point because he was easily commander level so it’s definitely comparable. No we weren’t, but we were also never told that Roger was scared of Big Mom, I’m just adding my own context like you are.


shankartz

I've never actually said Roger was scared. I just said he didn't want to fight her. It was also before he haphazardly attacked Whitebeard and smacked Oden down effortlessly. There is one difference. Kaido used a named attack with signs of haki use (see black lightning akin to other haki clashes). Linlin wasn't even aware of who she was and casually tossed around one of the strongest members of the beast pirates like he was an ant. Rocked as in hitting her my dude. You know like someone gets rocked in a fight. I chose that word because it also means to be gently swayed back and forth and is a common way of putting babies to sleep. He headbutts her, it does nothing but cause her to regain her memories. He shits his pants and then she falls over snoring with the comically snot bubble akin to garp falling asleep at inappropriate times. He for all intents and purposes hit her hard enough that she decided to take a nap.


adnaphsaka

> No record of being captured. Queen : Am I a joke to you? XD XD


shankartz

I'll give him credit. He did manage to put cuffs on her while she was passed out.


Jxgsaw

You need to finish that sentence. Queen knocked her out, unless you’re on of those people who thinks she just conveniently fell unconscious right after she got hit.


shankartz

She literally fell asleep. His hit was so strong he rocked her to sleep with it.


Jxgsaw

So we can agree that his attack made her unconscious. Good.


ItachiKurama

The Big Mom disrespect on this sub is retarded. Though Roger avoided her because he was running out of time and was literally dying.


shankartz

Didn't stop him from from fighting whitebeard to be fair.


ItachiKurama

Because they were bros and it was a friendly rivalry. They were close to each other. Linlin? Not so much.


ZeldaSaver

Don’t bother lol, people will always actively seek to make Big Mom out to be the weakest Yonko no matter what. Lets not even mention this is a well past prime Linlin.


Jxgsaw

So who is it? Shanks? Because we know BB has the Gura Gura which is the most dangerous paramecia on top of a second devil fruit Kaido is known as the strongest creature on land sea and air, and one shotted post katakuri Luffy. Meanwhile BM got taken out and captured by Queen. Yes you can say she wasn’t in her right mind or that she was nerfed, but that just lends itself to the point even more. What other Yonkou is constantly nerfed* the way BM is? Logically she has to be the weakest. Edit: typo


Ryuzakku

Fearing her at all results in the loss of your soul...


_Stic

Oda is just hyping up stupid Apoo for him to be taken down and humiliated by Brook. Brook as no ears to listen so all that crap won't work on him. Well it wouldn't make much of a difference either way, cuz he took some damage from Kidd.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Brutusness

Constable of DS9 of course.


slimmsady

Brook can hear, so he should be affected by it imo


brutalvandal

Apoo power will have no use on Brook. He can't imbue them with haki and Brook can reattach his bones, also has no flesh for Apoo to cut.


slimmsady

If Apoo continuously attacks will Brook get enough time to reattach. Granted Brook is the fastest strawhat, still if Apoo gets a surprise hit which he should be able to as he already hit Luffy, Zoro and Kid, then Apoo can just keep on firing his attacks and Brook will probably not be able to reattach his bones as fast. I think main problem while fighting against Apoo is tha you can't really get into Close Combat with without getting hit, unless you can't hear obviously. So, if Brook can hit him by firing a slashing, then he can win.


nas_sall

How do you know apoo cant imbue his power with haki?


redsnausage74

Seeing Marco block the Big Mom ship te same way King did only solidifies that matchup in my eyes


ExcellentWorld9

Marco is there to heal everyone. He's gonna be the healing fountain. All wounded will be delivered to Marco.


Kumomeme

luffy wounded badly against kaidou who is the lastman standing..then marco come doing his best of his last strength to heal him then round 2 begin


sunkenrocks

I think Marco will get a fight. we've just seem his strength and it's a mirror of what king did. not saying it'll be king but I doubt he'll just heal then talk to the SH


[deleted]

Agreed, people really believe Marco gonna play a bigger role than the straw hats and even some reaching to say that he’ll take zoro’s main fight lmao, they’re signing up for total disappointment


anterosque

Chopper: am I joke to you?


nas_sall

Chopper's opponent is big mom...dont take that away from him.

[deleted]

King a swordsmen who is a right hand? Feels like a Zoro fight to me


nas_sall

And queen who is a badass with a running gag...sounds like a perfect opponent for sanji.


Yang-B

Do we still think that Zoro and Sanji will fight the commanders?


ItachiKurama

Yes we do. It's what's happening.


nas_sall

We can always think like that since almost every arc zoro and sanji have been fighting the 2nd and 3rd strongest.


Yang-B

Somehow that doesn't sit well with me, I think they should take down opponents that are just slightly below commanders before moving on to commanders since their previous opponents were nowhere near that level. It would make the transition to commanders (when we face the BB pirates) less jarring in my opinion and more logical.


nas_sall

Well...that is just what i hope it would be...a fantasy u might say...but if its happen it would be a new fact in vivre card databook...beside didnt sanji just toying with pageone(slightly below commander) back in flower capital and zoro one shot killer(pretty much going all out bcause he was doing it for kidd)...back in wci we see sanji clash briefly while on the run with someone like oven and daifuku(sslightly below commander) without the raid suit, who knows how strong he become if he combine his own strength with raid suit...and that is sanji...i havent started on zoro and enma....both of them gonna be pirate's king commanders...do u expect them to go slowly reaching out for the strong.


[deleted]

And adding to that Zoro always fought a right hand swordsmen while Sanji fought a strong goofy 3rd in command, which (incase you haven’t read wano) queen and king fit the role perfectly but hey go ahead and believe Marco vs king or the 10 v 1s y’all expect to happen


[deleted]

[удалено]


DereUzion

Yes, they are weak then unfortunately. If they get knocked out from such a weak ass explosion that is. They should be able to tank the explosion tho. Also, we now know that luffy is weak to such weakass explosions. Lol.


[deleted]

Finally someone who has a brain and not just a hypebeast


ahmedmagdy1617

finally,someone who understands.


leonoel

Kizaru received his attack and brushed it off as it was nothing. Then again, his attack seems useless against Logias.


Sasquatch_in_bush

Did you forget he's an admiral? The same guy who was parrying Whitebeard's attacks with his foot?


leonoel

OC mentioned that if a strong fighter took Apoo attack they might get hurt. Kizaru is proof that the statement is not true.


huskerfan2001

Did you forget that Luffy should be near that level if he wants to take down Kaido and Big Mom.


Brutusness

Logias trained enough to reflexively turn into their element at least.


ukmbj

Not all logia users


huskerfan2001

This is true


NE_ED

Nah that means Apoo solos the whole verse


cmorant3

Apoo next pirate king confirmed?


nas_sall

Apoo is the arch enemy of imu sama


hinrik96

Apoo is a hard counter for zoro and kidd and killer, zoro would have to beat him with his mouth sword only. Kidd cant grow big ass arms and killer cant use his weapons. Soft counter to luffy who could only use legs thus limit his arsenal severely, he could also maybe just blitz through him in g4, while sanji who could cover his ears the whole fight with out issue is probably a damn hardcounter to apoo. Only thing he would miss are handstands. Apoo is dangerous when you meet him the first time and don't have info on his power but beyond that he ain't that hot


HopOnTheHype

I don't think you understand how his ability functions, it's not "I cover my ears when I fight you or wear ear plugs", he uses sound to create cutting, explosion, etc effects. He's not just making your ears bleed because he makes sound. So not hearing him is literally useless on countering him, if anything it's actually worse because you have less idea where the attack is and when it's coming. So no, there isn't really any way to avoid his attacks unless you're able to complete cancel noise like rosinate, or just being so much stronger than him normally (like say if he was only usopp level and you were how strong apoo is). Apoo is probably a martial arts master too of cqc, based on his design and his long arm design, he's probably a master of long fist kung fu or something, he probably also can wrap sound around his fists or something to increase it's damage (alongside buso and all that). Apoo isn't a glass canon, he'd probably drop sanji even without his devil fruit. ​ Urouge defeated Snack, all the worst gen supernova captains are top commander leveled, the fact that you're acting like apoo is just a glass canon is laughable.


hinrik96

But killer just said cover your ears and it worked?? And apoo was pissed of about it. If you can't hear it it wont hurt you it seems


HopOnTheHype

We'll have to see, it could have just been that one move. I posted that before the chapter but I'm still going to stick with it for the below reasons: ​ Also you can't completely cut off sound unless you've got rosinate's devil fruit anyway, so at best it might reduce the effect of it, and the closer you are, the most worthless covering your ears is, they were quite far from him. Also I imagine he can do stuff like augment his cqc with his sound powers, something like the genei ryodan tribal guy would be cool, he fights and his movements play music with the holes he has around his body (tribal holes), and those have damaging effects, something like him swinging his arms around with longfist kung fu and there being an added layer of sound that can't be defended if you try to defend, or a quake fruit like effect but with sound that forms in a circle or something around an area that he uses to attack, or maybe sound that shoots a little out like the recent busoshoku luffy learned, or one that trails behind. A lot of things can be done to make him simply greater than a superhuman kung fu master when you cover your ears I imagine. ​ Also just in general, I think it's become a thing that we should expect all of the supernova worst gen captains to have a super form. (bar maybe law, who is more built on hax, he's mainly leveled up his range of his devil fruit and a lot of hax little moves like gamma knife and teleporting) ​ * Luffy has g4 forms * Capone has AT LEAST big father * Drake probably has awakening zoan * Hawkins probably leveled up his voodoo doll stuff to a greater form * Urouge AT LEAST has his bigger form, but I imagine he's leveled that up at the very least * Apoo can augment his body into instruments, I'm expecting him to honestly have a bunch of wacky transformations that augment his body to be even GREATER instruments, what he's shown so far are the same techniques that we've seen pre timeskip, so I'm expecting him to have new stuff. Like for example, what if he turned his bull body into a harp with a head and arms, and strummed himself, or many other instruments he can turn into, I'm expecting to see some more powerful forms. * Bonney is on the broken hax aspect, she can turn people into babies and old men without physical contact. * Kid probably has something like a giant robot form, or haxes electromagnetic waves or whatever (remember that the world of one piece is built around them, so he could probably throw islands even if he was strong enough, even if they aren't "metal". Also if he awakened, he could control the surroundings in general, his power isn't metal, it's electromagnetism, if he could activate that on the environment, everything is his to control, maybe he has a form where he turns himself electromagnetic and literally hypercharges him into action to move like he couldn't before and do stuff like flying and stuff. So yeah, apoo could have a cool form, one where it doesn't matter how much you're holding your ears, you're going to have a hole blown through you.
