Holdem got a beatdown. The End.
I mean, yeah. We all knew it was coming sooner than later. He didn’t exactly look like a tough opponent. But, now we know Jack the Drought is the true ruler of Bakura Town and we may be seeing signs of a future fight between him a Luffy. He’d make a great mid-boss before Kaido.
We learn the wanted thief, Shutemaru, is the leader of a group called the Atamayama Thieves Brigade. Want to bet at least one Strawhat is already apart of it. I’d say Chopper and/or Brook since it’d be hard for them to blend into Wano as a regular citizen.
We meet the final Headliner in the area, Speed. A woman who ate the artificial horse fruit. I like her design and personality. The thing about her seeing 350 degrees is a nice touch. Note that it’s 350 NOT a full 360 degrees. Oda’s setting something up with her. Probably a way to take her down in a fun way. Does that mean she’s getting a fight? A real fight? Well, as real as a female fight in One Piece can get? We’ll see.
Zoro steals the food. Law blocks Hawkins. Okiku does nothing. Speaking of Law, I doubt we’ll get a throwdown between him and Hawkins. Team Luffy is leaving town so there’s no point in them fighting right now.
Yep, that ends this part of Wano. Next time, I expect a lull complete with grateful Okobore townsfolk. All before Jack learns what went down and takes action. Keeping my eyes on Hawkins. He’s definitely waiting for a chance to… do something. The guy didn’t alert Kaido to Luffy’s appearance on Wano for a reason.
Oh, and Bellamy is still learning to be a flag maker. Yay?
