I love the way Oda recontextualize Kuma's character and powers. More than 15 years ago Kuma was introduced as an unfeeling cyborg Warlord, that devastated Luffy, his crew and us readers with his overwhelming devil fruit abilities. But now seeing Kuma's tragic past and his sweet and caring demeanor amidst the literal hell he's experiencing is truly heart breaking. Add to that how and why he got his fruit. The same powers that tortured and almost killed Zoro, split everyone in the crew up, destroyed Thriller Bark and took down Little Oars Jr. with little to no effort, saved hundreds of slaves and relieved people of their pain. What an amazing character development and writing.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mihawk was related to a celestial dragon or gods knight family like Shanks, and has a disdain for the strong overkilling the weak. Oda seems to be changing the one piece live action to be more direct with the long term story. For example, the prominent presence of Garp and Koby shortly after Hachinosu in the manga. Given Mihawk and Shank’s chemistry they will both know about what went down on God Valley and the both probably loathed the events.

And in all honesty I'm starting to think rocks could've been luffy mixed with a little bit of early Belamy.

I might be misremembering this, but did Oda ever even infer that they were actually 'evil' pirates?

Hey Liam, the rock’s pirate, we see at 4:43 in your video is actually a character we already saw in the story at thriller bark, he was one of the zombie generals who had a bottom half of an elephant (if i remember well) and had the exact same helmet as the one we are seeing in this small panel (which hyped me up because when we saw his zombie form in thriller bark he was the most imposing zombie general in thriller bark). I had a feeling that this guy was a rocks pirate before because we see many pirates who were/ could’ve been in the rocks pirate (i.e captain john, silver axe who may be the zombie wielding the giant axe). So we can conclude that this guy (at 4:43) isn’t ochouku/Wang zi because Blackbeard took control of hachinosu one or two years after the events which happened on thriller bark where we saw the corpse of this still unnamed member of the rocks pirate.

[@schmae3503]

One of my favorite things in this chapter is the fact Streusen is in there and hardly anyone noticed just due to the Allstate lineup of the rest of the Rocks Crew (he’s to the bottom left of Whitebeard, barely in that panel lol). Another thing I love is Bonney’s crew is given just the tiniest bit of depth due to this. Sure it’s just inferred but that’s what I love about this series. It’s gone on for so long that at any point even unnamed characters can have inferred depth or motivations.

He's litterally larger than life too- its easy to forget because so many of the characters around him are but he is like 8 ft tall. Remember oden's wife was a normal sized woman but she only came up to oden's waist, Garp and Roger are close in height etc. the point being that it would be really funny to litterally see Luffy among these characters because he is normal human size, which is ironic considering Roger was like shanks, the guy going around and being amazing with no fruit powers just skill backed up by Haki.

The two panels of Kuma chopping up the firewood and carrying it to the town to sell choked me up a little bit. Such an innocent and unassuming scene that it's just beautiful.

[@certainshadeofred21]

The story in this chapter alone can be a stand alone manga, better than some other series, it had all the emotions and excitement, and that ending 🥲. Truly GODA

The way the celestial dragons called the hunted "rabbits" made me remember how Mihawk said "I don't hunt rabbits with a cannon" the first time he fougth Zoro. Maybe there is some connection to be made here

[@acandela1294]

Amazing how kuma started as a tyrant villain in our eyes and over time we've slowly liked him more and more until he's legit one of the most heroic, noble and loving people in the entire series.

[@timothycarney9652]

It makes me think that "Tyrant" title is because either the WG tries to paint him as a villain that took over the sorbet kingdom, or he willingly takes on that role to make sure the kingdom doesn't get punished for his actions.

Kuma was my beloved favorite from the start! Actually he was the first character from OP i've ever seen. I was very intrigued by this giant figure holding a bible and he might have induced my decision to go on this journey. I felt Luffy's sadness at Sabaody, but I myself felt sad when Kuma says farewell to him. He's (was?) just the best.

[@tiborsipos1174]

I dont think they arrived for a specific devil fruit. Lets not forget that devil fruits in general are still rare,mystical and powerful. And we have (potentially) 6 of them in the same place! Regardless if they are trash tier fruits, they are still rare.

[@OPCWSF]

I now believe that instead of rocks being revealed to be an evil genius mastermind, he is instead going to be a buggy type character. A character who has stumbled into success or notoriety for a reason not known yet. Although things could change with the official translation, whitebeard calls rocks and idiot and a moron. Stussy in response, says too whitebeard “not you too.” This would be an ultimate bait and switch from Oda, and he’s already laid the foundation for it with Cross Guild, who are just that. The heavy hitters on the rocks pirates are all benefiting from rocks’ knowledge or notoriety, and that’s why they’re staying. In chapter 957, a marine said it’s hard to imagine one man leading 3 of the four emperors as we know them today, which is why I think it would be such a classic oda moment for rocks to be a goofball character.

[@JustinVillemure]

Could be... I think Rocks is in truth, Luffy's grandfather = the father to Dragon... Dragon is Monkey in name alone, because the love between him and Luffy's mom... There's a reason Oda hasn't revealed Rocks' appearance yet.

[@MorglortheMangler]

Seeing Gloriosa as part of the Rocks pirates blew my mind and the chapter did make me wonder something. If Roger gave the straw hat to Shanks and Shanks gave it to Luffy, who gave the hat to Roger? Also is Oda ever going to tell us what happened to Luffy’s mother.

[@JustinVillemure]

My theory on Luffy's mom and, and dad/grandfather (the other) below: Luffy's mom "is" IMU! Or at least, Imu is a devil fruit that controls the one that consumes it. Right now its in Luffy's mom, it wants Vivi next. As for Luffy's dad, I don't think Dragon is a true Monkey, he was "adopted" into the family after he and Luffy's mom fell in love... you see, Dragon's REAL father, is ROCKS. Luffy's grandparents are Garp D. Monkey and Rocks D. Xebec!!

[@crayyonnyadrav4055]

Oda perfected the sacred art that is known to us as Blue Balling.

I will be honest, seeing young Garp and young Rodger brought up old reminded me of the theories about those two being brothers. I know it is unlikely but they both look surprisingly similar in this chapter.

[@godloared]

Oda is playing with me feelings. To be honest i did not care for Kuma's fate that much. But holy shit now I SOO want for him to be saved somehow. This guy doesn't deserve the hell he will go through.

[@damor8956]

In my Assumption when Big Mom was shouting in the past asking where kaido was(Kaido BigMom Flashback in Hachinosu). She wasnt going to ask why he didnt help at Godvalley/Where he was at the Godvalley Incident. Instead that he just stole the fruit that big mom captured from the island and dipped away. Which made her obviously mad because she stated earlier "Finders Keepers".

[@timothycarney9652]

She says he owes her for it, so it could mean that he stole it, but since we do see her treating him as a little brother like figure it could just be something like that, and she regularly goes and bothers him. It would fit with their team up in wano- their initial clash is because of sibling like rough housing but scaled up to their power level, but then they make up and ally to each other because they do genuinely care about each other... thats a sweet interpretation but it makes the fact that they ended up as brutal dictators that needed to be overthrown pretty sad.

[@reves3333]

Its possible big mom saved Kuma from Saturn because big mom's dose have her all race dream thing and she may overheared that Kuma is a special race so she cant have him dead, as she fights Saturn Kaido join up and ate the fruit some how.

[@timothycarney9652]

@@reves3333 Frankly I was surpised when Big Mom hit Ivanov, as we see with the Tama Linlin has a soft spot for young enough kids. Maybe she hadn't developed that motherly side yet, or maybe she didn't recognize Ivanov as a kid, or at least one young enough to trigger her that way. The whole time she was O-lin made me sad because she could have been a tremendous force for good if she was raised right, instead she maintained the worst of her childish behaviors, a childish selfishness and ignorance of other's conditions, twisted by age and experience.

[@reves3333]

@@timothycarney9652 she only had like 30kids at that time and they are all like babies so she probably didnt have the motherly instincts yet ,she didnt flat out kill ivankov tho so that is a good start and its abit hard to see ivankov as a kid like the size and the size of the head. it would be pretty cool if we get some kind of "redemption" or at least consistency type of thing with her ideals? cause the thing Kuma just said dose have some alignment with her own ideals even if her version is like really warped like 80% of big mom is basicly "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" there is also this thing that big mom might understand kuma because she is born diffrent too but trying to not see herself as born special? there is also a religious theme that shares with these 2 characters the whole nun orphanage miracle thing with big mom and kuma with whole bibble and church prayer thing, plus Saturn is like the literal devil here it would be fiting if big mom just cant stand Saturn and fights him because of her ideals

Probably not. Although it still be fairly popular.

[@pstove9652]

You should’ve talked about Kuma being called “The Hand of Liberation”. Makes me feel like it’s possible Kuma and Luffy’s fruits are “friends” for lack of better terms. Also makes it sound like maybe there’s multiple mythic zoans that the WG erased from the records and Kuma’s fruit is one of them alongside Luffy’s because they were seen as compatible or the will of the fruits were likely to work together regardless of who got the fruits.

[@parthkamble8433]

In this chapter Oda was really secretive of why the Rocks Pirates came to the island as Whitebeard said. I feel its the same reason as why the Roger Pirates showed up there as well. Now heres the big question could there be a Road Poneglyph on that island?! As its Roger and Rocks we are talking about here and we even know that Roger survived that God Valley and became Pirate King!

[@timothycarney9652]

The WG did something at Hachinosu to get Rocks riled up, according to garp- My bet is that they either took a Poneglyph, a fruit, or an individual(just so we can get some humanization of Rocks) one of my theories was that Blackbeard was involved as a kid here, but he is only one year older than shanks, who gets found as a baby around this time, so if that's the case then... My guess is that Blackbeard's mom was taken and is running around carrying him and after this she makes it out but has to raise him under her name rather then his dad's- like Ace was Portgas D. Ace instead of Gol D. Ace. That's just if Teach is Xibec's kid. If it was the poneglyph that was taken, well Big Mom has one so maybe she got to keep the one the Rocks pirates had after they broke up, heck that is supposed to happen right now isn't it, she could just take the thing and head out after Rocks bites it.

[@Torazuki]

Oh shit, if the fourth road poneglyph is on God Valley, Shanks probably already has it, then. Pretty sure some part of god valley is still around and accessible to Shanks cause it resembles the place he went to attend a wedding (cover story 838) and is possibly the place he got the sake to give to white beard way back when.

[@timothycarney9652]

@@Torazuki Its probably not that location because God Valley is in West Blue, the Emperors stay around the New world, because the WG freaks out when they leave, and the others would start messing with their stuff if they weren't around. White Beard has to stay close enough to keep his promise of protection to various Islands, Kaido and Big Mom don't want anyone messing with their territory if they leave it for too long. So the Emperors largely stay in the New world, because they have vested interests that they need to protect there. So that place Shanks and Whitebeard met at is probably in the New World.
