#chapter 1034

[goingsunnies]

honestly if i were queen i wouldn't be embarrassed or angry about getting beaten by my rival's son. i would however be MORTIFIED if he did it with an attack called beef burst

Love it when Sanji shows that he's a LOT more than that worthless family name Queen has no idea whose he's messing with

#ONEPIECE1034

Back with another one piece chapter review, or as I like to say - me attempting to be articulate about my thoughts when I actually want to scream...

anyways

This chapter is called - Sanji vs. Queen

I guess we can know what to expect from it?

First of all, before jumping into the chapter, I honestly didn't even expect Oda to give us more Sanji vs. Queen since we got that in 1032, and then Zoro vs. King in 1033, but this might be that in 1033 Zoro finally gained control over Enma and is now on, what it seems to be, the final stages against King - so it makes sense to give us more Sanji vs. Queen to end it right before the climax. After that Oda can focus on ending the rest of the fights (with the exception of Luffy vs. Kaido of course) and then ending Sanji/Queen and Zoro/King simultaneously right before Luffy's fight (I'm guessing, but it can go whatever way)

I absolutely loved the start of this chapter, with Momonosuke realizing he too can grab onto the flame clouds to try and stop Onigashima from falling into the flower capital -

And now we come back to the fight between Sanji and Queen, and Queen decided let out his 'trump card' - using the techniques from the Vinsmoke brothers. "Judge's sons are the culmination of his scientific work" and because Queen and Judge seem to have this feud over their technology, mastering Judge's sons techniques is technichally matching Judge's scientific work -

1. Ichiji's Sparkling Valkyrie becomes Sparkling Queen

2. Niji's Henry Blazer becomes Henry Queen

3. Yonji's Winch Danton becomes Winch Queen

Sanji counterattacks by breaking / burning through his arm

"Did you think I'd let you dominate the fight" is what Sanji says to Queen, after his attack. After breaking the raid suit, and calling zoro to ask him to kill him after the war incase something happens, he's decided to live with the added power his body provides - he's not the same man anymore, he's accepted his fate.

Queen brings out one final trump card, the final replica, the technique of the other 'vinsmoke son' -

4. Stealth Black (which just, is him disappearing, the invisibilty)

Using the raid suit would enable Sanji to also use stealth black techniques and disappear but he broke it, and last time he disappeared people seemed to believe that "wHeN hE bRoKe tHe cAN fUmEs fRoM iT GoT iNtO hIm aNd tHaT's hOw hE dIsApPeArs" No, people, he's just moving at a speed so fast he can't be seen - "moving faster than the eye can see"

Couple that with his exoskeleton, and the "armament haki training" that he does, and enhanced strength he can also, besides mimicking stealth black movement and disappearing (if that wasn't enough) withstand "flames much hotter than before"

so if we had Diable Jamble - devil's leg - we now have

Ifrit Jambe

and ifrit, in islamic mythology, is a powerful demon who inhabits the underworld, often associated with the spirits of the dead //basically Sanji is bringing forth the flames from the underworld

and if that wasn't enough, he casually drops nine named attacks in a row, which kind of reminded me of his fight a long while ago, against Kuroobi (the fishman from Arlong Park)

Basse Côte, Parlons, Jumeau a Biftek, Tendron, Flanchet, Queue, Poire, Jarret

and ends it with

and wow, what an amazing panel. This will look amazing animated.

PS. We also find out (or confirm, for most of us) that Sanji did not hit that woman, it was actually Queen using his disappearing technique. That's why the woman thought Sanji did it, since she couldn't actually see Queen, and Sanji was the only one there...

PPS. Break next week.

PPPS. Does this seem like a final move to you? I could see it, but I'm also not entirely sure.

Chuji the mouse

Just wanted to add to the conversation about the mouse from chapter 1034 with this tweet from sandman on Twitter. Go give them some love if you’re on Twitter.

fanboy, queen the plague: ch. 1034 spoilers

I am sure I am not the first, right? I modified the text to reflect what Queen really meant to say.

Sanji won I believe

[findinglaughtale]

After the Zoro-centered story from 1033, Chapter 1034 was a bit of a let down.

But one thing to note was that Sanji’s eyebrow swapped?! Whatever that is supposed to mean.

Also Queen is not a Germa 66 nerd but an Anti-Germa 66 nerd. An important distinction.

And I think that young lady wasn’t beat by Sanji? I’m a little confused but I don’t care to reread it yet.
