Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
Spoiler's here earlier, guys! Credit goes to AP's Redon for the rather detailed info:
-Chapter title is "Great Adventure in the Land of Samurai". Splash is a color page this week (as will be the case for next chapter, as well).
-Luffy briefly recalls the moment he got split from his group. As they were about to be sucked into the whirlpool, the rubber man inflates himself into a platform that Sanji hops on while carrying the rest of the gang. Unfortunately, Luffy ends up getting caught by the octopus from the previous chapter, and is pulled into the vortex. As he gets sucked in, he ends up losing the vivre card he stored in his hat.....
-Back in the forest, we see a girl who is captured by a group of thugs! Interestingly, it's revealed that she's a vassal of the Kouzuki clan.... whom the thugs refer to as "evil". They threaten to either sell her to the red light district or throw her into prison before they encounter Luffy and the Sunny on the beach. As it turns out, that baboon from before is also their bodyguard, who's fighting with the komainu. The men get in contact with their boss, who is only known as the "star performer" at this point, and plan to capture Luffy for illegally entering the country....
-One of the brigands points a gun at Luffy, but he ends up getting beaten up. They then decide to let the baboon take care of him instead, but the pirate intimidates the monkey into submission with his mere gaze! Taking advantage of this distraction, the girl slips behind her captors and manages to knock them out! The girl introduces herself as O-Tama, and interestingly, it seems she has a DF ability where she can create dumplings by making a ring shape with her fingers! She feeds said dumplings to the baboon, which pacifies him. She then tells Luffy that they're currently in the Kuri province, and says she was out shopping when she encountered those thugs. She also says to take note of the Kouzuki clan, though at the same time warning him that very clan is considered a huge taboo in Wano.....
-O-Tama tells Luffy that the komainu was protecting her, and later brings the rubber man to her home, where she serves him a small meal of rice and pickles. Naturally, Luffy is disappointed by such meager portions, but Tama excuses herself to use the privy. In reality though, she went to drink water from a river in order to stave her hunger. Later, Tama's master, a man named Tengu, comes home, and is upset that Luffy ate that rice.... as Tama hasn't eaten for days. She works hard daily for money while often ignoring her hunger, and that rice was a present for her 8th birthday. Tama tries to smooth over the situation when she returns, but she ends up collapsing instead, which shocks Luffy! Tengu tells him that the river she drank from was polluted by Kaidou's factory, rendering her ill. While it's possible for her to relocate to a new home, she refuses to move in order to uphold a promise she kept with none other than.... PORTGAS D. ACE.
-Elsewhere in Wano, we learn the identity of the "star performer" those thugs contacted earlier.... it's BASIL HAWKINS!!! He tells his men to cut off communications and prepare to head towards Kuri, but also warns them to keep their actions hidden from Kaidou....!!!!
