I thought Pudding would save them, but-

-sometimes it’s good to be wrong!

songs to play at funerals—chapter 1041 spoilers

Okay, so we get Zunesha and Momonosuke’s besties relationship, and Yamato’s knowledge of Oden’s journal, and that rapscallion Oden, tore out the crucial pages about Laugh Tale (or did he)?

AND we get the Five Elders giving impossible orders to both the remaining CP0 and Drake overhears, I think. Whole page. And watch out for the last panel.

 It’s interesting too that CP0 feel for their colleagues here. We haven’t seen that before. And even the Elders aren’t privy to all the details (or CP0 isn’t)? 

Maybe because it’s Im’s instruction? Got the feeling that Izou’s playing dead there, but just in case he isn’t, take the panels below.

Okay, we do not want that to be the end of Izou. Nup. Nope. Never. Was it @ninhaoma-ya​ who noticed the foreshadowing on this last chapter? AND, CP0 asks:

why Izou was there wanting to help out, and so the family connection, and Wano connection is unknown. Man, I’m gonna be so sad if it’s curtains for Izou.

But I wonder also if the Whitebeards being involved links into something larger. Maybe  Raizou is also referring to this his talk of ‘preparations’. After all, why did Nekomamushi deliberately seek out Marco? For the past connection, for sure, but is there something else in those ripped-out pages of the journal?

It seems that CP0 would’ve known that Ace was Luffy’s brother, so—not dismissing that connection, but why wouldn’t they think that the Whitebeards would help Luffy? Not knowing about the Kiku connection is another thing altogether and very poignant.

Okay, so Kiku and Kin’emon are hanging by a thread, and so is this guy (above. Our man Zoro). He’ll be okay, but, and these two (below) are knocking on death’s door, or will be if Kaidou (or any other opponent) comes down/out to play:

So last chapter I said it was unusual that Law was upright after such a wild ride, ant “THUD”, there you go, he’s out for the count.

Kid too. Law said, and Kid agreed, that their awakened powers would put them in jeopardy. It was a great fight. Don’t care what unawakened dude bros say anywhere, I loved it.

Now, also a chapter of bullies somewhat getting their comeuppance:

Pudding’s not happy with the Vinsmokes, but more so, Komurasaki plays the song that her father requested he play at his funeral, he loved it so much (and caused her to cry for the day). The below is from chapter 973.

And from the current chapter:

I’m also hoping that her playing the tune somehow helps this guy:

due to the Enma connection, but I don’t think it will contribute to Zoro’s survival, but who knows?

And Nami crediting Law, and Luffy crediting Kid (or Tora-o and Giza-o: Like, credit can only be given on Straw hat terms, and fair enough), the crews kinda know their names:

But that brings us to Lin-Lin, and Kaidou’s Weepy Drunk stage. Man, I guess the Emperors need to be taken out, but I don’t want to think it’s the end of Big Mom. I’m not surprised that the woman got taken out first, or in conjunction with Kaidou, but at least her strength wasn’t underestimated, even if she was basically a running gag. Though I know aspects of all the emperors and bad guys are lampooned.

Kaidou’s still as drunk as, and it seems he was a quiet kid. I’m not gonna show that panel, but Big Mom asks if he knows how to talk and asks how old he is, 15? (yup).

Now that I think about it, he says, we were great friends! Sentimental drunk is sentimental. Even if we say he’s weeping. And she did rule the seas of certain domains. Vale Big Mom, if it really is an end.

Oh, Carrot, Wanda and Neko are going in to the castle (I think), or away from the edge of the island. Nami and Zeus cement the contract between them, Marco is with Toko, Nami, and Toko’s dog and baboon (I know  they have names. Forgive me). Luff’s fighting, of course.

This quote right here…peak Luffy. It’s why I love this MC…ambitions mean nothing if others have to suffer to fulfill them. He wants to be king of the Pirates and has been liberating everyone from oppressive rules bc to him the king is the freest person…GOD I LOVE HIM

[algumaideia]

No:(

They want Luffy

Good Luffy

Law and Kid won, I don't think Big Mom is dead but I hope so
