Knock it Off, Hagakure! [One Piece 955]

Bad enough you’re betraying your fellow U.A. classmates, but now you’re screwing up Team Luffy too?!

Alright, who’s the traitor? Law? Kyoshiro? Nah, too obvious. Gotta be someone else. Honestly, I’m stumped. It has to be an important character. Maybe one we haven’t seen yet. Denjiro, maybe? Nah. Although, I’m surprised we haven’t seen that guy yet. Guess Oda’s waiting to unveil him in Wano’s flashback first. Wait? What’s Cat Viper been up too recently? Hm…

The Alliance learns Hiyori’s alive. Franky’s working on ships, enough to hold 100,000. Yeah, they’re getting 100,000 people somehow. Most from Jinbe and Marco no doubt.

Lots of sword talk this chapter. We get confirmation Tama’s caretaker, Tenguyama Hitetsu, is a katana blacksmith. He’s the one who made Kozuki Oden’s swords, Ame-No-Habakiri and Enma. True to Hiyori’s word, Zoro gets Enma. Did I mention both swords are Excellent Grade? Yeah, they’re ridiculously powerful. Enma’s so strong it feeds off its wielder’s haki. Basically, only strong peeps can use it. Love the power-up, Zoro. Also, why did Zoro’s childhood friend, Kuina own one of the best swords on the planet? Hm. Guess the rumors her dad’s from Wano could be true. Could Zoro also be from Wano? Double hm…

Sure, it’s strong. But, can it dice onions? A pirate’s gotta eat.

Speaking of power-ups, Luffy’s mastered advanced haki! Oh, someone’s gonna get curb stomped by Mr. Strawhat to show off his new power. Who’s it gonna be? Jack? Queen? One of the Flying Six? Place your bets now, y’all. I got $20 on Jack.

An okay chapter. Blah, blah, blah, things are progressing. Yadda, yadda, yadda, I’m excited for what’s the come. You all know the deal. I say it almost every week about One Piece. But, hey, Wano Act Two is over. Now, it’s time for the flashback. It’s coming, my friends. Okay, maybe it won’t be in Act Three. Who knows. I’m just…I just wish I care about this arc more. Again, I don’t hate it, I’m just not fully invested. Maybe I’m kinda over it. I want it to end as quickly and awesomely as possible and move on.

Speed it up, y’all! You can’t pimp walk the whole way there.

The Wano Arc is like frozen pizza (I know, I know, just humor me.). It’s not bad, all my favorite ingredients are there, but overall, it’s not sending me over the moon. It’s filling, it’s enjoyable but I want more. Better. Maybe, I’ve just been spoiled by Oda too long. Oh well, here’s hoping Act Three makes me eat my words.
