 Howdy dandy Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone is doing well. Spring is near, and cherry blossoms are blossoming like darling dears. Be sure to be safe from those awful pollen. Getting the sniffles is no fun. Well, with that said, let’s this show on the road, we got loads to tell so you know the drill. First off, last week’s chapter is getting intense. We first meet another Kaido’s goons who’s a head jailer name Solitaire that ate some monkey type zoan fruit. Anyway, she’s all getting upset after the guards are failing to capture an intruder that stole the keys to the cuffs. It was none other than Raizo who is on the mission. Meanwhile, Luffy took out another head jailer name Daifugo who is some type of scorpion zoan type. Everyone is in shocked to see that Luffy broke the iron rule of attacking any of Kaido’s goons. The prisoners can’t help but stay away from the situation. Old man Hyou gives gratitude to Luffy for sticking up for him. Hearing the commotion made another head jailer name Babanuki who ate some elephant type zoan fruit that turns his stomach into a canon. He got angry for Luffy’s defiance and shot him straight on. Poor Luffy took a hit. Suddenly, the All-Star Beast member, Queen, shows up doing his dance show and settle the situation. Seems he has crush on Komurasaki, and wasn’t aware of the news of her death. Anyway, he asked Babanuki to rank the terrible situations. So he ranks no.3: Eustass Kid escaped, no.2: keys to the cuffs are gone, and no.1: Luffy is on the run. All three situations made him go nuts about it and demanded them to get the situation fixed. Back at Ebisu town, Law, Ussop, and Franky are hiding out at Tonoyasu’s humble home as he welcomed them with a kind smile knowing that they are friends with Zoro. Apparently Zoro was chasing someone and ran off far who knows where. Sanji is elsewhere looking for the bathhouse to check out the girls. Meanwhile, Nami, Shinobu, and Robin are enjoying a relaxing time at a unisex bathhouse with men giving the old perverted look. Anyway, Shinobu explains that it will be difficult to gather 5000 members for the rebellion looks at a possibility of gather only 500 members. She goes one further saying that gathering more members would be easy if they had help from Hyogoro of the flowers. Apparently, she says that 20 years ago, Hyogoro was a big time yakuza gangster that ran the underworld of Wano and influence many yakuza leaders and villagers. People admired his chivalry attitude that even Lord Oden admired him as well. However, when Orochi took over Wano, he refused to serve him and disappeared. The leader of the Oniwaban, Fukurokujuu, was loyal to the Kozuki clan, but decided to serve Orochi instead. A traitor that Shinobu could not forgive and left the Oniwaban group. Now these days, Hyogoro is now a myth. At the end, back in prison, old man Hyou and Luffy are face to face with Queen. He makes a deal with Luffy that he would ask Kaido forgiveness and to join his crew, but good ol’ stubborn Luffy refused. Queen then tells old man Hyou that it’s a shame that back then Kaido and Orochi tried many times to convinced him to join their cause due to his reputation back. Old man Hyou is none other than the legendary Hyougoro of the flowers. Poor old man Hyou begs to forgive Luffy and instead punish him. Queen says came up with an idea to settle the situation. While Raizo is in a pinch to try to help Luffy, a voice from behind the cage calls out to him claiming to be a man name Kawamatsu. An old friend perhaps? Who is this Kawamatsu? What has Queen decide to punish both Luffy and Hyougoro? SO MUCH INTENSE! Don’t miss this week’s chapter! Episode will resume this week so don’t miss it. Now on with the goods.

 Happy Monday, minna-san! Warm sun and blooming flower buds have arrived. Spring is almost here. I hope everyone is ready to ditch those heavy coats and toasty sweaters. With that said, let’s this show on the road. We got loads of fun to share. First off, last week’s episode intensity is increasing more. We first see Perospero and the rest of the siblings doing their thinking time as they figure how they can get to Wano and hope they can find their mom. At Kuri Wastelands, Big Mom is tagging along with Chopper and the gang heading to Udon as Kiku explains that it’s a long journey to reach the land.  At another hideout, Nami & the gang have finally reached to safe place to hide out for a while because of the scandal. Robin was able to find out most of the stuff she could figure out. Brook tells Robin he found poneglyph stone, but it’s not red like the one from Zou. The girls decided to go to a bathhouse to relax. At the capital, the entire country of Wano mourn for the death of Komurasaki and will be holding a funeral in her honor. Meanwhile, Sanji and the guys are hiding in some shelter and reading the news about Komurasaki and the scandal that the girls have caused. Back in prison, poor Luffy is getting spit on by a jerk gifter name Apalcaman who is half man, half apalca. He’s all bullying the poor captain and just spitting as he’s talking. Yuck! He’s all telling Luffy off that he’ll be punished if he had anything to do with Kid’s escape which that news spread out as well. At the end, Luffy notices as the poor old man Hyou, the prisoner he saved, was getting bullied again and the gifters are forcing to tell him how he got many kibidango. Old man Hyou refused to answer as he mentions a hero he looked up to back then name Hyougoro of the flowers. I guess you could say he was the samurai Robin Hood. Anyway, Luffy had enough of seeing him getting trashed around he rushed to his rescues as the other prisoners begged him to not interfere that would lead to death. At the gate, the fearsome top commander Queen arrived at prison. What in the world is he there for? Who is this Hyougorou of the flowers? Is Kyoshiro an ally or a foe? GAH! So many questions. No chapter this week so it’s a break until next week. Next, this past weekend’s episode was intense. Luffy and Sanji finally made it back to Sunny and the others. Everyone was happy, but not out of the woods. The Germa siblings are keeping the Big Mom pirates away from the gang while back at Chiffon’s island, they arrived and placed the cake on shore. They wait for Big Mom’s arrival to see this moment through hoping that the cake will stop her sugar rush. Back at sea, Judge passes by the gang as he asked Luffy if all this trouble to save Sanji was worth it. He gave no answer and instead thanked him for helping out. It made him angry to hear such answer. At the end, the gang are trapped by all the fleets when suddenly, Wadatsumi and Sun pirates arrived to help Jimbei and the others. Next time, the Sun pirates face the Big Mom pirates while Mama herself is about to enjoy the cake. Will it satisfy her? Or disgust her? Don’t miss it! Now on with the goods. Tongari-san couldn’t be here tonight since March is gonna be busy month, but we got his telegram. He mentions that yummy birthday menu to celebrate Sanji and Sabo’s birthday has been posted. First, they’ll have Sanji’s swirly sausage burger with a black burger to match his suit and yummy potato hearts with some ketchup. For beverage, they have have flambe shot’s orange tea with some whip cream and orange drizzle. You can also order a fountain drink that comes in a plastic bottle of Sanji which is yours for free. (FYI: no BD bromide card). For Sabo’s dish, they have his Night Fire Fist spicy carbonara shrimp ramen with fish cake of his hat. If you order any of these dishes, you’ll get a free BD bromide card. Next, stores will be selling these new pouches of Sunny, Heart pirates, Straw Hat pirates in orange, black, & red color. It will be available on March 12th. The store will also have new tower coins in color of the characters such as Luffy, Chopper, Zoro, Sanji, Ace, Law, & Sabo. It’s 600 yen. Next, Anime Japan will be selling these hamster buttons of the boys including Ace & Sabo for one day. Not sure if other local stores or Animate stores will have them in stock, but you can ask. But this is only sold at the event for now. Next, check out the new visual for the 20th anniversary event at the Umihotaru Passenger Ship in Yokohama. More details of events and goods will be announced later. Next, J-League has announced a collab with OP. They’re selling loads of neat buttons, t-shirts, and hand towel from popular soccer teams. If you live w/in the country, you can order it. Payment can be made by credit card or COD (cash on delivery). We’ll leave a link for those interested. Next, Ehime prefecture will be opening a temporary Mugiwara Store at the Emfiul Masaka mall. Limited ed. goods will be announced soon. It will open from March 21st to April 7th. Ehime is known for having tasty oranges. Nami goods will probably the original goods, but be on the look-out for the announcement. Next, this Saturday, stores will be selling new mugi mugi plushies. This time, East Blue Zoro, Ussop, along with a pair set of lil’ Zoro & Kuina. Very cute! Next, get groovy! Get funky! Oh, no one says that anymore right? How embarrassing. Ahem!

Next, OP app game, Thousand Store, is having a short event of Skypiea Island. Level up & you’ll receive Gan Fall w/ Pierre & Eneru as players. Last, but not least, I hope everyone got a chance to see the new trailer of the new OP movie, Stampede. Last week, Oda-sensei & staff released new sketches of new bad guys: one is named Douglass Bullet who supposedly is a former member of the Gold Roger pirates, and the entertainment MC, Buena Festa. Trailer also released that Law, Smoker, Tashigi, and the Buggy pirates will be in the movie. SO HAPPY! I can’t wait to see them.

 Happy Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone is ready for flowers and sunshine. Spring is coming soon. Be ready to feel the glee moment. Since the season of sunshine is approaching, more awesome stuff is coming up so you know the drill. First off, last week’s chapters was disastrous. Orochi is still infuriated with Komurasaki for slapping him and not allowing him to punish cute Otoko-chan. Looks like he ate a zoan type fruit known as the snake-snake fruit, model: nine-headed dragon snake. Anyway, he demanded the brave, lovely geisha to bow her to apologize and that he would lighten her punishment. Same answer: she refused. The anger grew; one of his heads attacked a party guest and then snatched her with his slimy mouth. Everyone was in panic to see her at his jaws. The Oniwaban ninjas then showed up in time. One the guests asked a ninja name Daikoku to save the courtesan, but he says that he’s in liberty to do what he wants. Poor Otoko-chan screams for her sister’s life. She begged Robin to save her, but she’s so busy protecting her. Then, other Oniwaban members ran as they were chased by Brook’s spirit and made poor Otoko-chan passed out. Meanwhile, Shinobu and Nami are inside the ceiling ready to save Robin, but were discovered by one of the Oniwaban members, Hanzo. He recognized Shinobu, but insulted her when he remembers her good looks. Hearing that made her upset and used her the “Killer-Man” jutsu to hit his precious below. (you should know what it is). She then made the ceiling collapse and injured Orochi. Komurasaki was freed, but then is confronted by the deviant Kyoshiro as he slashed her in one blow. Everyone freaked out to see her dead, even the girls and the ninjas. Orochi got enraged with Kyoshiro as he never commanded to kill her, but he reminded him that it was a mercy killing for rebelling against him. The guests were utterly shocked at his behavior, but ignored their criticism as he pulled out the time symbol that was handed out by Kinemon. EH? Could he be one of the samurai protectors of the Kozuki clan? Orochi shed tears to see the beautiful courtesan he loved dead at his feet. His rage grew even more as he chased Robin w/ Otoko-chan, but luckily, Nami came to the rescue and summoned Zeus to shock the shogun. At the end, the next day at Leftover town, Big Mom is a guest at O-Tsuru’s house enjoying some traditional sweets while Chopper and the others are trying to leave, but worried that her memory could come around. Only nine days until the rebellion. Can everyone still keep a low-profile until the time? Or will all their efforts of planning be wasted? What truth lies behind Kyoshiro and Komurasaki? Are they members of the Kozuki clan? GAH! So many questions! Don’t miss it this week! Next, this past weekend’s episode was a blast. Sanji’s siblings came to his aid as all the Big Mom pirates came on and on to kill Sanji and Luffy. At shore, just when Nami and the others are cornered, Judge and his fleet came to their aid and attacked all the tart ship fleets. Back in town, all the members urge to kill our heroes as Brulee tell everyone to not let Luffy escaped as she yelled to everyone that he defeated Katakuri. The news shocked them to hear that their strongest member of the family has been defeated. Hearing this news enraged all the members, especially Oven as he chased our heroes ready to burn them to death. However, his siblings all came to his rescues sending him off to shore one by one. At the end, Reiju to his aid as she looks at the boys for the last time and tells Sanji to move forward and cherish his friends. She sends him off and the boys finally reached Sunny. Next time, the gang are still in a pinch while Bege prepares to leave the cake for Big Mom to devour. A final miracle approaches as the Sun pirates will appear. Don’t miss it! Now on with the goods. First off, look who’s here! Tongari-san. Wanna know his real name? It’s Chou-rou! We’ll still call him by his pen name. Anyway, what brought you here, my friend? Tongari-san says that more fun stull is happening at the tower. First off, we got major birthdays coming up. Yup! A chef, a cyborg, and a revolution man.

 Happy Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone is surviving the cold winter. Spring is coming soon so hang in there. With that, we’re on schedule and ready to report so you know the drill. First off, last week’s chapter is in jeopardy. Robin is face to face with Oniwaban ninjas lead by a jerk name Fukurokuju. He demanded her to reveal her reason for snooping around. She then states “ox-three boy.” With that, the ninjas attacked her, but luckily it was her clone. She then runs off to a safe location and gets in touch with Shinobu, Nami, and Brook to confirm about the Oniwaban protecting the castle. The ninjas then scattered to find Robin. Shen then was able to return to the banquet and Orochi calls for her with no means to escape except to blend in. Komurasaki then keeps on flirting with Orochi. Other men feel jealous towards him, but Kyoshiro tells them that she is a high courtesan that doesn’t fall for anyone. So then they start talking about the trouble occurring in the capital (note: Sanji’s trouble). So Orochi says that they make a toast of the death of Lord Oden and how his wife, Lady Toki, spoke of some revenge that will come someday with the help of the nine samurais of the Kozuki clan. He claimed all of Oden’s followers were killed by Kaido and the trouble occurring in the capital would be Kinemon’s doing. So everyone’s believing that some of Oden’s followers and Momo still live and must be destroyed by all means. The rest of the guests don’t believe in the return of the Kozuki clan, but Orochi apparently believes they’re alive. Suddenly, a huge laughter bursts out of nowhere and it was none other than the cute O-toko-chan. Everyone’s is in shocked while the courtesans are trying to keep her quiet. Hearing here laughter made Orochi angry and walks towards to her to kill here. However, Komurasaki stepped to speak on her behalf, but Orochi tells her to keep quiet and strike at O-toko-chan, but missed. The courtesans begged the guests to save her, but refused. At the end, Komurasaki slapped him hard leaving everyone in utter shock. One of them yells at her to apologize and bow to Orochi, but she refused saying she is in her right to defend. He tells her that he was going to marry her, but she refused and says that she is a woman of honor and daughter of a warrior that won’t yield to authority. Orochi got angry and transformed into a nine-headed dragon yelling at her that she is nothing but a concubine with no rights. Everyone panicked. Robin grabbed O-toko-chan, but was found by one of the Oniwaban ninjas with Kyoshiro ready to fight. GUA! So much scary trouble! Who is this Komurasaki? What is her purpose? Who is this ox-three boy everyone speaks of? Is Kyoshiro a bad guy or an ally? GAH! So many questions! Don’t miss this week’s chapter! Next, last weekend’s episode had everyone on their guard as all of the siblings ready to kill Luffy when he comes out of the mirror. Meanwhile, Pekoms tells Luffy he will at all costs make sure he survives and use his sulong power to keep the siblings away from him. However, he worries that his transformation might make him lose control, and that Pedro was the only who ever reached out to him. At sea, Nami and the gang reached Cacao island, but with many fleets of Big Mom pirates surrounding them and behind Smoothie’s fleet also on pursuit. Finally it was 1 am! Pekoms comes out with Brulee and transformed into his sulong form attacking everyone. During his transformation, Luffy comes out of his clothes. Sanji then comes in to scoop him out, but was chased by the other siblings. Pekoms helped them, but also attacked Sanji.

(purupurupuru) (purupurupuru) (gocha!) (coo!) (coo!)

 Happy 2019! We are deeply, deeply sorry for the long hiatus. Flu season is getting around, and the crew are still sick, plus I’ve been majorly busy with loads of work now that spring is coming and job hunting season/ visa renewal season for me. But to make up for the long absence, the crew gathered everything everyone missed even while being sick so I will lay out everything. First off, the chapter will resume this week I think as last time, it was left where Zoro gets acquainted with his new friend, Yasu as he brought him to a town of smiles and suffrage, Ebisu town. Everyone was all smile despite the hunger, pain, and illness going around, they still keep a big happy face. Zoro thought it was strange, but understood the hardship they are w/standing. One of the villagers mentioned to Yasu that a Robin-hood hero pass by the village again. Supposedly, this hero brings them food and water to ease the hunger of the villagers. Who could this stranger be? They call him ox-free. Back at Onigashima, MAJOR trouble stirred up! Big Mom showed up to get Zeus back, and brought her whole crew with them. It was chaos! They steer the mother ship towards the water fall almost reaching to the top, but King, one of the big honchos, used his devil fruit, the dragon-dragon fruit, pteranodon style. He turned into a dinosaur, pterodactyl. Anyway, King knock the ship down as Big Mom sinks into the ocean. At the end, Sanji, Franky, Ussop, and Law are heading for the hills to avoid getting caught. Law tells the guys that if they caught, they must not reveal their plans, and to not pick a fight as it would ruined their chance to fight for real. Sanji then hears screaming from the village, and it was none other than Page. Demanding for Sanji to show up, he destroys the soba stand, and hurting the villagers. Suddenly, Sanji kicks Page to the curb. He tells the guys to go on ahead as he pulls out the weapon that Niji left for him back at WCI. Sanji then pulls out his weapon and BAM! The dark knight, Soba Mask, appears! Black suit, family hair do, shades, rocket shoes, I mean the whole enchilada. Apparently, this new suit really is useful and beating Page. At the end, a surprise got washed up ashore. Chopper takes a stroll with Tama, Kiku, and Momo and they spot Big Mom. However, when she woke up, she doesn’t know her where she is nor who she is. EH?! AMNESIA? Will it last? What’s gonna happen if regains her memory? Big time yonkou will clash! What fate will hold for the kingdome of Wano?! GAH! So many mysteries and questions! Guess we’ll have to leave it up to the big man. Let’s be surprised. Also, if you want to read official manga, please use official websites. Do not go around revealing spoilers on any media such as FB, TW, or any other to everyone who are patiently waiting for the official released. It’s rude and messed up. Be considerate. Next, totally behind on the anime, but we’ll wrap it up in one. We finally see Luffy catching up to Katakuri’s level and getting the respect after finding out that Flampe pulled a dirty trick and put that brat in her place. This past weekend’s episode was a major throw down! We finally see Luffy’ new awesome gear 4th move, SNAKE MAN, which it increased his speed of his attacks. Katakuri however was still one step ahead thanks to his awesome observation haki. Both warriors are going all out majorly. The guys pulled their final move into a huge impact of haki!! Meanwhile, Sanji and Pudding wait in an alley. Pudding hesitates to say goodbye to Sanji, but approached him for a final request. At the end, the fight is over. The victor is…none other than our fellow rubber champ, Luffy-kun! Katakuri stands up and asked him if he will beat Big Mom. He vowed to come back and do so. Katakuri finally passed out defeated for the first time. At the end, Luffy leaves his hat on his face as show of his respect and Pekoms shows up. It’s 5 until 1 am. Next time, Pekoms helps Luffy by awakening his sulong form, but will it save our hero? DON’T MISS IT! Thank you, Katakuri for putting up a major fight. We hope to see you down the road. Now on with the goods! First, we received a telegram from Tongari-san as he caught the flu, but will get better in no time.

 Happy Jolly Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone had a good weekend. The weather is getting chillier so stay warm, drink plenty of warm fluids, and stay healthy. The flu is getting around lately. Stay in top shape. With that said, let’s get on with this week’s news. We have loads of stuff to share with you so you know the drill. First off, last week’s chapter is filled with new mysterious characters. We start off w/ Ussop, Franky, & Robin enjoying Sanji’s soba. It’s been a while since they had his cooking, and many customers are lined up. Just as everyone is eager to eat his delish soba, three goons from Kyoshiro’s clan name Kaku, Kuni, & Suke showed up to shut down Sanji’s soba stand. They tell Sanji that he’s gotta pay up if he wants to keep his shop safe from hooligans, but he refused. A little girl was about to enjoy her soba until Suke knock it off from her hands and cried. They then knocked over his soba stand. Seeing this enraged Sanji. The customers then ran off. The handsome cooked demand they eat the soba from the floor, but refused to do it. That answer was wroooonnng! So Sanji knocked that cahoots out of Kuni. Franky then took care of Suke with a new technique he learned from Senor Pink: Iron Suplex. Nice one, dude. Some spectators were shocked to see the guys defeat the jerks. The little girl whose soba got spilled came back with a smile hoping to eat the soba was excited to have. She approached and Sanji was able to give her some leftover. She tells the gang that she was late for work, but waited all day in line to eat the tasty soba. Her face glowed with excitement. So the girl’s name is Toko, but if says if you add O in front of her name, her whole is O-toko which means man in Japanese. The gang laughed at her name, and Toko laugh along telling them that her name is means “man”, but she is a girl. Ha ha ha ha ha! What a cutie!, She then finished eating and was about to leave saying that she’ll be back in the same streets since her job is an escort for a famous courtesan, and that many beautiful women will come by. At the end, the old lady that trained Robin to be a geisha came looking for her saying that she has been summoned to be at the shogun’s palace and that a famous geisha name Komurasaki will be presented at the castle as she is the no.1 famous geisha in all of Wano kingdom. The boy got excited to hear such rumor. So the parade begins as Komurasaki passes by with many praised coming from everywhere and Toko made just in time, and it seems she is the younger sister of the famous geisha. Back at Kyoshiro’s hideout, his goons informed him of Sanji’s rebel, and ordered to send out assassins to kill him. Suddenly, a shadow nine dragon figure appears from behind that happens to be the infamous Lord Orochi. Who is this mysterious villain that everyone speaks of? What is the role of this famous geisha? Is she a friend? Or a foe? GAH! So many questions! No chapter this week so it’s another two week break so be patient. Next, this past weekend’s episode is turning chaotic. Luffy continues to struggle to land a hit on Katakuri, but is trying to stay clam so he can also see his attacks coming. Back at the sea, Big Mom shows up in flames and in rage demanding for the wedding cake that the gang is hiding. She starts tearing apart Sunny as Jinbei jumps to defend. He tell her that that cake is not with them, but ignores his truth saying that he believes Perospero’s words. She says she would kill him if he lied, but believed in him. She starts attacking. Jinbei was suddenly knocked off from the ship. Nami and the others try their best to fend off Big Mom, but she was continuing tearing the ship. Just as things were getting worse, Jinbei shows up again and knocked her off from the ship, and Nami lay the finishing blow with her lighting attack. At the end, Luffy continues his struggle with the fight as Katakuri is attacking one step ahead. Next time, Luffy tries his best to see Katakuri’s attack with the wise words and training he learned from Rayleigh as his help and the rotten young sister, Flampe, makes her appearance. Don’t miss it! Now on with the goods! First off, figurines! figurines! Loads of it. Jump Fest is getting near, and Megahouse will be displaying 4 new POP figurines at the event. Next year, they’ll release this awesome POP Maximum of Luffy in gear 4th Snakeman mode, limited ed. of Hina, Maximum figurine of Zoro 3 thousand world attack, and bikini figurine of Nami with a beer.

 Happy Winter Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone had a good weekend. As for us, we got caught with a nasty cold so we’re still recuperating. So everyone, stay warm, drink lots of vitamin C, and take your cold meds. Well, enough said, let’s get on with this week’s news. First off, last week chapter’s is starting to look hopeful. We first start Ussop and the others handing out the crescent moon symbol to random people so they get the gist of Kinemon’s message. Some are familiar with it and some are even encouraged to join the rebellion. Meanwhile, O-Nami aka Nami is with Shinobu that are spying on some croons that work for Kaidou, but got discovered and made a get-away. Shinobu confessed to Nami that she has a phobia for sharp things. Eh?! Didn’t know there was phobia for that. So as they fly into the sky, they see Sanguro aka Sanji opened his soba stand making delish soba for all the customer, and yes, flirting with the gals which made Nami upset. Back at the mine, Kaidou’s goons are bullying many prisoner especially a poor old man name Hyou who was being overworked and was given only two small dango for his meal. It was really unfair so they bullied him more. Suddenly, Luffy and Kid are making their end of the bargain working hard as they were rushing on carrying heavy bricks and earned their big bowl of dango. They argued on who carried the most, but boy they wouldn’t let it go. Later on, a weird hippo man inside of a hippo named Dubon, who is the head jailer, is upset that his large portion of dango was taken away. The hippo was stepping on old man Hyou. Dubon demanded for answers. Luffy and Kid showed up in all stuffed. Literally. So they see Dubon as he claims at them for eating his large portion of dango. The other goons were hazing them with threats for resisting, and the hippo ate Kid. The goons laughed about it, but suddenly see the hippo coughing blood with Dubon injured. At the end, Kid silenced the annoying head jailor and Luffy carried old man Hyou on his shoulders. The resistance from these two big honchos inspired the other prisoners believing that there is hope into being free. How are the others doing in their end? What is Kaidou really planning? Will Kid work with Luffy to get out of Wano? So many questions! Don’t miss it! Next, episode will resume this week since it wasn’t on air this past weekend so don’t miss it! Now on with the goods!

Well, we got something better for you all that beats the goods from your place. Enough said, let’s get through this. We got a haul of stuff to share with you. First off, last week’s chapter resumed and it start off with Moria who we finally see after a long-time absent raiding at an island that’s been occupied by Blackbeard. He was there to rescue Absalom who he shows up happy to see him however, it was a phase. Suddenly, Shiryu of the rain appears out of nowhere that came to a shock that he has the power of Absalom’s devil fruit, the clear-clear fruit. What in the world?! Then Caterina Devon, the most devious female pirate, also makes her entrance showing of her devil fruit as well, the dog-dog fruit, model nine-tails. She tells Moria that Absalom is dead, and Shiryu ate his fruit so all that’s left is his corpse. Meanwhile, Blackbeard is laying off enjoying his booze and fame spouting that another war will soon happen. Meanwhile, back at Wano kingdom, Duke and Shutenmaro fight off, but Kinemon finally put a stop to the fight. Kinemon asks Shutenmarou to join his rebellion against Kaido, but refused due to the fact that he lost faith in the Kozuki clan for being absent for a long time. Back at the mountain, adorable little Tama-chan finally recuperated from her injuries thanks to Chopper and the goat mink doctor. She says she only remembers that Speed was badly hurt and afterwards it was blank. Anyway, she’s all better now, but the danger is not over. At the end, back at Onigashima, Jack confronts his scolding from his two vicious brothers and also Kaido’s ALL-STAR BEAST top commanders, King and Queen. They’re appearance is terrifying like demons that represent wrath and sloth. Anyway, Jack was getting scolded for not trying hard enough to break the spirits of Luffy and Kid. GUA! These two guys are really really really scary looking. Oda-sensei really gave deep thought to come up with their appearance to be chilling. With these two big monsters in charge, will the gang be able to come up with a plan to infiltrate the island w/ them around? Guess we’ll see this week. Don’t miss it! Next, this past weekend’s episode was turning up. We start off with Luffy continuing his fight w/ the tough cookie Katakuri as he is getting irritated by his unbreakable spirit. Back at the sea, Sanji and the chefs are finishing icing the cake, but as he was observing, Bege was trying to add poison to the cake. It made Sanji angry as he kicked off the poison & yells at him that he won’t let him damage the cake, but Bege claims he is not gonna stop to murder Big Mom. Sanji tells him that the taste of the cake alone is gonna put Big Mom out of this world and pass out from the heavenly taste. Bege continues to refuse to see his reason, and Sanji put a spoonful of the cake in his mouth and passed out from heavenly taste. On the other side, Carrot continues to destroy Daifuku’s ship fleet, but her sulong was tiring her out. Just as she was about to meet her end, good ol’ Brook came to her rescue and took her back to the ship. At the end, Big Mom’s appearance change as she got thinner due to her hunger pangs. She then calls forth Promtheus and Zeus as they appear and she lit herself on fire and landed on Sunny. Next time, Big Mom starts to destroy Sunny as the gang must do their best to save each other.

 Super, Happy Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone had a good weekend. The weather is getting chilly lately so keep yourselves warm. With that said, let’s on with this week’s news. We have loads to cover. First, last week’s chapter was ferocious! We last see poor Luffy lying in utter, bloody defeat from Kaido’s attack. Law was about to rescue him, but Hawking shot with him a sea stone nail bullet and rendered him helpless to use his devil fruit power. Kaido then noticed Luffy glaring at him even though he was unconscious. He then ordered his goons to lock him in jail. Just as they were about to, Luffy released his haki and knocked out the goons. Kaido was surprised to know he also has it. He then left to continue to his beer time. Back in the forest, Law was able to escape barely with his injury, and worries for his crew. However, he doesn’t want to leave Luffy. Back in Leftover Town, Kinemon went to check on his wife, O-Tsuru. She was tending to the poor villagers that were injured from Shuntenmaro’s attack. Back in the ruins, everyone was safe from Kaido’s attack. They all fell down from a deep hole thanks to Shino’s mature-mature fruit that has the ability to make anything rot. O-Kiku was then ready to let the gang know about the situation. Back at shore, it looks like Duke and his followers found Tama. Yay! She’s gonna be saved. So back in town, everyone was receiving news about Luffy’s revolt against Kaido. Franky, Ussop, and Robin read the newspaper and made hilarious “WHA?!” panic face. Zoro also got the wind of his situation while he was eating his onigiri on a boat. The next day at Rabbit Bowl, Kaido’s goons are all abusing the poor villagers working them to death and feeding them poisoned food from their devil fruit factory. At the end, the goons brought Luffy with his head bandaged all over. As he was being escorted to jail, someone shot a fish bone into one of goons. We finally see a familiar face we haven’t seen in a while, Eustass Kid. He looked all beat up. So the goons threw Luffy in jail as both swear that they will get their payback against Kaido. Suddenly, a masked lady shows up before them. Who is this stranger? How will the plan proceed? Act I ends. Let’s see how act II goes. Next, this past weekend’s episode was joyful, but still not out of the woods. We start off with Sanji pushing the cake onto Bege’s ship, and Chiffon finally reunites with her beloved family. However, Oven wasn’t gonna let them have their celebration as he heats up the ocean to melt the ship. Just as they were about to perish from the heat, Mr. Pound came to the rescues and hit Oven from behind. He then see Chiffon from a distance as he feels guilt for not being there for her and Lola during the times Big Mom abused back then. Even felt regret for not being able to hold them when Big Mom turned him away as she birth them. As his final moment, he congratulates Chiffon on his new family, and Oven killed them. At the end, Luffy returns to Mirror world for round 2 with his fight against Katakuri. Next time, the time has come, Carrot finally transforms into her sulong mode. Will she be sane? Guess we’ll see. Don’t miss it this week! Now on with the goods. Look who came to visit! Yup! Our fellow tower mascot, Tongari-san. Take it away, my friend! What you got for us? Tongari-san says that more awesome shopping goods are available at the tower. First off, let’s give a bday shout out to the one and only marimo swordsman, Zoro! Happy bday, you clunkhead.

 Happy Autumn Monday, minna-san! I hope everyone had a safe, fun Halloween. It’s time to make way for Christmas so count down those days. Well enough of that! Let’s get down to business. We got loads of stuff to share with you. First off, last week’s chapter was MAJORLY SCARY! We start off with Luffy knocking down the snot out of Kaidou. He then turned back to his human self. Luffy then sees Speed on the ground injured asking about how she got hurt and Tama’s fate. She tells him that when Kaidou showed up, he saw them together and knocked them out with poor Tama getting hurt. Hearing about this made Luffy angry and blames himself for not taking her back to her home. So the two big time pirates finally confront face to face. Kaidou finally see’s Luffy in the flesh and finally duke it out. Their fight was destroying Leftover town and Shuntemarou runs away. At the end, Luffy was able to get into gear 4th, but Kaidou used his heavy club and hit poor Luffy so hard he was knocked on the ground with severe injuries. GUA! OH NO! What will become of our hero? Is this the end? Will all the plans be snuffed out and ruined? Don’t miss this week! Seriously! DON’T MISS IT! Next, this past weekend’s episode was emotional and romantic. We first see poor Chiffon at the mercy of Oven baiting Bege to come rescue his lovely wife, but the damsel in distress tells the boys to run away and leave her. Everyone was crying for her self-sacrifice. Meanwhile, Nami and the others are getting ready to fight Big Mom’s fleet again, and Carrot is staring off into the sky wondering for the full moon. Moving on, Luffy is on escaping from one mirror to another to avoid fighting more goons and to regain his haki. Back at Chocolat town, Oven goes on with taunting Bege to surrender himself, and Pudding tries to persuade to spare her, but he ignores her plea.  Just when things were getting hopeless, Bege finally rescues his sweetheart and runs his ship on land while swearing to his son that his way will always triumphs. Chiffon was moved with tears to see his true love going all the way to rescue her. Sanji then was able to kick the cake onto the ship. At the end, Luffy was able to find a quiet place to rest with Brulee. He’s determined to defeat Katakuri. Next time, the lovers reunite, but not out of the woods with Oven angry and determined to take down the traitors. Will they escape his fiery wrath with the cake intact? Don’t miss it this week! Now on with the news! First off, look who’s here today! Yup, it’s our mascot pal, Tongari-san! Take it away, pal! What’s going at the tower? Tongari-san says that more awesome stuff is coming up.
