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.
