One Piece Chapter 1000! Discussion!!!

 

 One Piece is a massive manga series created by the famous talented mangaka Eiichiro Oda. It has managed to keep going for 20 years and while it appears to be in it's final arcs, the series still has a couple of years left for it till its finale. 

 


 One Piece hit it's 1000th chapter mark this week albeit unofficially because it's slated for an official release of January, 2021. With that being said, if you're an anime only or simply do not want to know anything till the official release comes out, you can stop reading now because, I will be discussing the whole chapter and what my thoughts are for the future going on from here. The 1000th chapter is deservingly named "Strawhat Luffy" I like that it's called this for obvious reasons such as Luffy being the main character of the whole thing and getting to see him now compared to where he was when he set out for the sea two years ago (well, 20 years in our time). 

 

 Resuming immediately from where we left off in Chapter 999, Luffy is still trying to get to the top floor to fight Kaido who is now with Big Mom and has been able to neutralize all of Kozuki Oden's retainers including Kinemon. As Luffy gets closer, he sees some of the Minks lead by Shishilian who have helped him clear his path and he thanks them for protecting Raizo back on Zou from Jack and the beast pirates, and then proceeds to go and face off Kaido. We see Marco successfully fending off against Queen and King and then he springboards Zoro to the top floor as well where the main action is going place. 


 We also get a cutback to Yamato discussing with Momonosuke and Shinobu where she hints at ".D" and continues telling him about Ace and his Momo's father Oden. Oden in his journal had predicted that powerful pirates in twenty years time would come and save wano from the captivity of Kaido and the beast pirates. We see another flashback of Ace and Yamato where he tells Yamato about Luffy's dream and asks that he doesn't laugh at it even though him and Sabo initially did. I loved hearing that because its cool to see Ace acknowledge Sabo  even though he thought he was dead at the time. Yamato tells Ace that a notable figure (who I believe to be Roger) shared the same dream, adding that Luffy would probably have been his friend. Ace says he'd like to have a drink with this man and Yamato tells Ace he's already dead.


While Yamato talked about Oden prediction of strong pirates coming in 20 years, we see an ensemble shot of Supernovas Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kidd and Killer all ready to face off the larger than life emperors Kaido and Big Mom. Luffy disrespectfully passes Big Mom and Kaido, ignoring them to go and meet a severely injured Kinemon, he apologizes for coming late, Kinemon beats himself up saying he's not worthy to even die after failing his master Oden, we see a shot of all the other retainers beaten and injured as well. Kinemon begs Luffy to save wano and Luffy passionately  reassures him that he will because this is his friend's country. Luffy calls on Law to use his devil fruit powers to remove all the retainers from the battlefield in order to ensure their safety.


Kaido and Big Mom are angry after they had a discussion where Kaido talks about how Luffy disrespectfully made his claim to be pirate king, Kaido asks him to repeat his statement and we get an amazing shot of Luffy's  as he uses gear third to launch a new fiery attack probably infused with ryou called "Red Rock" (which might be an homage to Ace's Red Hawk which we saw an earlier iteration of in wano against beast pirate Holdem) and levels Kaido to the floor. This shocks Big Mom who asks Kaido how he'd let himself be taken down so easily by the Straw hat. The chapter ends with Luffy restating his ambition to become the Pirate King!



I think the next couple of chapters will just contain action packed panels shifting from the battle on the top floor or the one with the other straw hats and the flying six. I also think we might get to know about the will of d or at lease get some new information from it. I also believe a pivotal character has to die before Wano ends and that Yamato will be probably become the eleventh official member of the straw hat pirates.

    Actually, it's Red "Roc". Roc is translated to be a strong mythical bird BUT yes, it's still similar to Ace's move.

Enjoying music (on your own)

Written By
Music is not for the English or French,  or Italian, or anyone at all.  Music is the simple or complex cluster of sounds that sound pleasing, acceptable to the ear. Needless say, almost every person appreciates good music and some have mistaken this appreciation as an avenue to create something. Some succeed at it, and others - a whole bunch - don't. Music isn't just something you create on a whim, unless you're Labrinth 🐐 Seriously, creating music is difficult, complex and very stressful. But there's an easier part and it's called LISTENING - not like Wizkid FC and Tiwa Savage's gladiators sha.  People oft imagine music to be "better" when the speakers are going like the drums of judgement day and uhh... no. Don't do that. Music inflated by volume is noise. [Unless it's metal, then KPK👍] There are 5 simple ways to enjoy music when step 0 - good speakers/headphones - is achieved. - First, music is best enjoyed in a peaceful environment, not a...

Severance: An Unforgettable Thriller

Written By
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn't remember the stress of your workplace when you get home? From the mind of Dan Erickson, directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, Severance offers an answer to the aforementioned question and pushes the limit by asking " when your consciousness is spilt into two, which one is the real you? " The series follows a severed employee at Lumon, Mark who has recently been promoted to the Head of Microdata and Refinement Department after the sudden resignation of his boss and the recruitment of a new employee, Helly Riggs. Plot Severance has a unique plot, while the execution of a series without a definite blueprint can prove difficult, it does not fall into this hole. The series answers (almost)all the questions it poses in the first few episodes but ends on a note that will leave you spiraling and brimming with inquisitiveness.  Characters For every character, we follow two distinct ...

STRANGER THINGS 2

Written By
   A lot of movies and shows are set in the past these days but in my own opinion, none of them really do it like STRANGER THINGS. If you remove the acting,the amazing plot,and chemistry, what you're left with is these show that has a very '80s feel because of the overall sound from the show and visuals.      Season 2 is a blast and it simply perfected the formula season 1 set which is, simple plot,great characters,good chemistry and amazing(classic)music. My face everytime Dustin jokes       The Season starts a year after and all our characters are basically trying to settle on after the ending of the first season. Mike's still trying to communicate with Eleven, Will is bullied in school, he's called "zombie boy", Lucas is well still Lucas and Dustin has teeth now,"Prrrr"(you'll get the joke soon enough)       I'll try not to be very spoiler-y so let's start up!!!. •MAX AND BILLY     The dick The new...

Who Would Win? Batman Vs Spiderman

Written By
Okay before I start I'd like you all to know I am not being partial in any way at all. I had this argument with my friend Andrea a couple of days back and now I feel like sharing on who I think would win,but I realised they are two perspective 1-choosing a winner based on accomplishment 2-choosing a winner based on powers or strengths 1- this perspective is basically saying "oh look at this let's check out both characters accomplishments",they both have taken down a large amount of enemies ranging from smart villains to dumb ones,they've both faced foes that are big and strong. So it's only reasonable to think Batman would win here,not by a long shot though because Spiderman is a force to be reckoned with. Batman has basically done more important things,he has defeated Superman severally,dodged darkseid's omega beams,outsmarted braniac,I mean the man is a bit fluent in kryptonian and he knows several martial art skills and he's just a human......
