One Piece Chapter 909 Review, Predictions for Chapter 910

Zorro doing Zorro-like things

Highlights of Chapter 909 as we finally enter Wano!

Nekomamushi meets Marco
I have been waiting for so long to see Marco once again. At my surprise, as with Garp, he is in good spirits. And who knew Marco was a doctor? I do think he is more of a physician than an actual doctor like Chopper and Law. The pair of glasses really look nice on him.
One thing I got right is that he is not far from Whitebeard's and Ace's graves. Probably the same village as a matter of fact. He has sworn to protect the last keepsake that Newgate calls home.
He said he couldn't leave and join Luffy's crusade while Whitebeard's true son Weevil is looking for him. Soon or later, they will cross paths. However, I get the feeling that Marco will indeed join them when things are most dire.
If I may add, we saw Marco using his flames to heal injuries. This is likely due to Awakening. Since Marco was always able to rise from the ashes by immediately recovering from his injuries; his awakening allows him to affect his surroundings, in this case to heal people to a certain degree.

Bakkin
New information that Bakkin and Whitebeard were once on the same ship. No need to jump here because apart from Luffy, Doflimengo, and few exceptions, most big shot pirates were previously crew members on pirate ships before becoming their own captains.
Remember Shanks on Gol D Roger's ship? We recently understood that Big Mom and Kaidou shared some time on a ship.
What we do need to know is who was their captain, and did they wipe the floor with the captain of Big Mom and Kaidou? Is he or she related to the dormant legend?

WANO
Wano is here! After making through various empires of planet earth (i.e. Dressrosa/Spain, Jaya Skypea/Ancient South American Nations (mayan, aztec, etc.), Alabasta/Egypt....), Oda sensei  is bringing us home. If you didn't get it yet, Wano is Japan, or more specifically Feudal Japan during the age of ninjas, samurais, and shoguns.
When I was kid, my dream was to become a samurai during those times. Unlucky me, I was born right in between the Sahara desert and the tropical jungles. Can't really complain, can I?

Our crew successfully blended in the crowds. Franky is doing what he was born to do, carpentry. Robyn wanna be a Geisha, those deadly femme fatales in ancient Japan. Ussop is doing what he was meant to be, the greatest Salesman/liar who is actually successful. And as for my man Zoro:
He did what Zoro is supposed to do, cut down and ask questions later. There was no way the infiltration team could have waited quietly until Luffy's team arrives. I just thought that the government official who was slashed by Zorro would have been Kaido himself.

Trivias
Once again, Oda did a trivia about Marco. As I said couple weeks ago, this reaffirms my assumption that Oda is wrapping up the series. A trivia serves as a quick reminder of what transpired during these last 20 years! So let us hang tight for the next last years before the E N D.

Predictions for Chapter 910

I bet we will see more of Wano, and the consequences of Zoro's actions which will undoubtedly reach Kaido's ears.Thus, the next chapter will be quite mouvemente and have more Zoro moments, which is great.

Chapter 908 Review, Predictions for 909

The Gorosei kneel before Im

 As I predicted in my last review of chapter 907, the Gorosei is NOT the highest authority in the world, and the shadow figure (named Im) is the one pulling the strings and sits on the empty throne!!!
 What else we learned?

The biggest princess meets the smallest princess
You know you have been around the world when your connections meet each other in your absence. Shirahoshi met her dwarf counterpart Manshelly.

The Reverie kicks off
With all 50 representatives present, the real G20 starts. Luckily, King Cobra was able to stir the conversation away about Luffy. Which makes me think they won't mention him during the real discussion.

Bartholomew Kuma
New information about Kuma surfaced! He was the former King of Sorbet Kingdom. This was not that surprising because it can explain the reason he joined the Revolutionary Army and opposed the World Government. What intrigued me however was his status of Shichibukai. This begs the questions:

One Piece Chapter 905 906 907 Reviews, 908 Predictions

Chapter 905

GARP
I have to admit that I was surprisingly happy to see Garp all joyous. I was very upset at him letting Ace die during the war of the summit. How could he? How in the hell is your job more important than family?
He is truly Luffy's grand father, a man who doesn't give a cent about protocols and has zero complex in dealing with royalty.
Today, I understand why he categorically refused promotion to become an admiral in the past. The higher you go past being a vice-admiral  in the hierarchy, you command more power and men, but your hands become tied to the Celestial Dragons. So knowing that, Garp knew this was the best position for him to do whatever he wanted to do, but also avoid being controlled by the Tennryubuto. How could he stomach a Buster Call? You need to be blinded by absolute justice to do that.
Although being a vice admiral, he HAD the moral obligation to be present at the war. It saddened him, but that  was his duty. Which also brings me to say that Garp ordered young Ace and Luffy to become marines because that would have been the only way to save them from the World Government when they grow older. So I really have to give Garp my respect once again.
I will come back to him further below.

ADMIRAL GREENBULL RYOKUGYUU
We knew the name, but now we know the silhouette and more about his personality. The last admiral is a

One Piece Chapter 904 Review 905 Predictions

Voila the top commanders of the Revolutionary Army!

North Army is commanded by Karasu who made a cameo at the end of the Dressrosa Arc when he summoned crows to pick Sabo up.

South Army is commanded by Lindbergh, possibly a mink

East Army is commanded by Belo Betty, the flag bearer of the Army. I think Oda was heavily inspired by Marianne, the lady who is supposed to represent liberty and France herself.

West Army is commanded by Morley, a giant okama, whose silhouette was featured on the epic moment Doflimengo asks WHO RULES THE SEA! His appearance was a let down for me though.

A Chapter 100% Revolutionary Army

We also saw Dragon who is about to make a declaration of war on the celestial dragons!
Sabo the Chief of Staff
Ivankov and her/his minions

Koala

 Peace til next chap which will probably focus on the reverie participants.

DRAGON AND SABO WILL DECLARE WAR AGAINST THE CELESTIAL DRAGONS

Chapter 900 901 902 903 Reviews! New Predictions!

The   1.5 Billion Berry Man

While awaiting to go check Avengers 3 Infinity Wars tomorrow, One Piece chapter 903 came out and it was a bang bang!

Chapitre 900    Chapitre 901   Chapitre 902

 Since I missed reviewing the past couple of chapters, here is a quickie highlight of the best parts!

One Piece Chapter 899 Review Chapter 900 Predictions

Aladin and co save Jinbei and Luffy

Still on their escape, my man Aladin came to help our heroes right before they got done in by Smoothie and her fellow mates. This reminds me of when Roger was saved by a freak storm when fighting Shiki the Lion (remember Strong World?)

One Piece Chapter 898 Review Predictions for Chapter 899

Sanji and Luffy Rejoins The SUNNY

Still in their escape, but this time we got to see the four Germa 66 siblings display some of their powers, and it was cool! The Big Mom Pirates are still in shock and denial over the defeat of Katakuri....Luffy is quite something isn't he? are we going to see a new wanted poster for our straw hat wearing hero?

One Piece Chapter 897 Review Chapter 898 Predictions

 Like I said countless times before, I knew Germa 66 would save them right after Sanji escapes with Luffy!
 

Nothing new really transpired, so I will keep this short with an extra colored snap! I wish I had seen more of Pekoms' transformation though. I guess that will be for chapter 898.

UPDATE HERE

One Piece Chapter 896 Review 897 Predictions

Katakuri is defeated

I loved Luffy's fight with Katakuri so much that I will need to revisit it. Though they were a perfect match up against each other, just like Luffy and Lucci, this time Luffy was able to stand up on his own after the rumble. The best part was Katakuri's animal reflex to stand up before Luffy could see him hugging the ground. Even better are these theories for the next chapter and chapters far far into the future:

1. Katakuri enjoyed fighting Luffy so much that he can't wait for ROUND 2 (I talked about this many times before). To meet a worthy opponent for the first time who actually evolved in the fight only to lose sight of them forever would have been too much of an heartbreak to handle. It seemed like he needed to

One Piece 895 Review Chapter 896 Predictions

Hello world
Chapter 895 came out in a form of a snake, but the battle is still heating up thanks to Luffy showcasing his Gear 4.5 Snake Man.

LUFFY
I wasn't blown away with Snake Man as much as Bounce Man, but this one packs a fast punch. The increasing speed on top of the stretch is what really makes it powerful. It's really like a laser beam. Focus, speed, and unpredictability is what makes Luffy Luffy.
The names of his attacks are so funny: Black Mamba (Kill Bill anyone?) and what we hope to see next week: King Cobra! Perhaps there will be a Viper or Anaconda creeping around.

KATAKURI
There was this one shot where Dogtooth truly resembled an hungry blooded eye snow wolf (300). What's still funny though is him still not getting Luffy's yonko class clumsiness. Who else can speak about hunger when sweeping the floor with Dogtooth (and Cracker by the way).

UPDATE HERE CHAPTER  896

One Piece Chapter 894 Review Chapter 895 Predictions

Get ready for the new Gear 4 SNAKE MAN

Get ready for GEAR 4 v2.0, or as I like to call : Gear 4.5. I have no freaking clue as to what it's going to look like, so I'm not even gonna bother myself to speculate too much on it. I was satisfied with this chapter, so let's wait 6 more days to find out. We can guess based on the name (snake, serpent, etc...), but one thing is for sure: Katakuri saw what's coming!
Both adversaries confirmed this is the last stretch, they can barely stand up at this point. Even Dogtooth is having trouble standing straight. Behind my man Zoro, I think Luffy has the most stamina and tenacity among the rookies.
Questions for next chap are:

One Piece Chapter 893 Review 894 Predictions

Katakuri acknowledges Luffy as equal

One sentence: I loved this chapter. Now both Luffy and Dogtooth will enter the last phase of their battle with nothing on the line but their honor and their love to conquer the challenger. For once the entire chapter was dedicated to this keep-on-getting-better fight.
Three things we now know:

One Piece Chapter 892 Review Chapter 893 Predictions

Smoothie  x Cinnamon  x Citron

As expected, Sanji made it in time. Destruction was avoided thanks to Bege luring Big Mom away, but no one is safe yet.

Luffy got knocked the hell out once again because he IS AT HIS LIMIT, but this is necessary for him so that he could surpass himself. So chill and relax, Luffy will get back up and continue the fight for the next hour or so.

So the next chapters will be like this: EVERYONE is headin to Cacao's Island for one last huge royal battle between the Straw Hats assisted by Germa 66 VERSUS the Sweet Pirates (Oven, Smoothie, Cinnamon, Citron, etc.) while Luffy will conclude his fight with Katakuri.

By the time Big Mom gets back from

One Piece 891 Review 892 Predictions

Yo, Chapter 891 came out and it did not disappoint.

• Katakuri is still whooping Luffy's behind, or Luffy's behind is still being whooped by Katakuri---either way works!
• wait a minute, LUFFY IS HAVING A
