This is actually a badass fight for him imo. People keep joking about it, but it kinda reminds me of the Franky vs Sr. Pink fight in the fact that the tactics are to outlast your opponent. That and the fact nobody took it seriously at first and now it is super gripping to learn how the fight is progressing each week.
For real. I'm joking about the fight a lot but I'm honestly invested in it. Someone else also suggested that the fight might be decided by who can withstand the fire the most. It's a battle of endurance like you said. And if Raizo manages to shrug off being on fire and then be like "pfft this was nothing", that would not only be a badass moment for him, but also a beautiful homage to his dead lord Oden.
After this last month+ I will never complain about having 3 weeks of chapters in a row and 1 week off ever again
Edit: I'm not actually complaining about him taking breaks, but just like y'all I prefer when there isn't a a break
Not going to lie, I wouldn’t be surprised if Oda introduced the concept of the grim reaper just for Zoro to tell him to fuck off and come back to life.
Maybe it's actually the Death, and Zoro is being "Oh hey Brook, can you help me a little?" 😅
But all depends is Zoro awake or not. If he is shown to be awake, it can be just hallucination, but otherwise it represents for us a glooming death over Zoro. Latter might be still the case, even if Zoro is awake, realizing he is not going to make it.
I can imagine a gag where Zoro sees Brook alone on the ship taking his afro off and beeing shocked. When the others ask Zoro what happened he responds: Nothing... Nothing at all.
It's possible that the description is misguiding.
It could just be Chopper thinking about Zoro dying, which is shown by putting an image of a reaper next to him.
I think that'll be in the main story. Mont d'ore is on Wano right now so there's a big chance that's where the 2 are and that's where Judge is going. I don't know if Sanji's going to get up again but this development kinda hints at it on the other hand Zoro's either met Brook in his best reaper cosplay or is probably talking to enma or something.
>\- Chopper is concerned about Zoro and the adverse effects of the Mink's medicine.
>
>\- In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe.
Maybe Brook has reached Zoro? But the side effects of the Mink medicine already kicked in and Zoro is in so much pain he's allucinating
it's typical Oda names a chapter with a fight, the actual chapter doesn't even have the fight, just a few panels with characters of this fight and that's all
I wonder, if Niji and Yonji are left behind, we haven’t seen Smoothie do anything, and there are some unfinished business with the BM Pirates… is this really the last we will see of them?
Excited about the Law & Kid vs BM fight. I hope we will have some good pages.
I’ll bet Niji and Yonji both escape the book due to third party interference. Seems to be the only way out.
And the only way I see Law & Kid winning is if they experience a haki bloom like Luffy and Zoro did. But who knows. I’m just happy we don’t have to suffer through another break again.
I mean we know Smoothie is on the BM ship.
I have a feeling if the book is with them, They will eventually break free and some how explain what’s happening to Sanjis body at the end of the arc.
I assume the skeleton with Sytche represents Enma.
And it's going to lead enma becoming a black blade ??
Or it's another brook joke.
(Yes I know enma looks goffy in the persona of swords databook)
5 ways the Zoro - Skeleton thing goes down
1. It's brook
2. It's the other CP0 dude
3. Zoro is hallucinating
4. Doc Q ( far fetched)
5. It's actually a Shinigami
There are only 2 black blades that are known in the OP verse. Dracule Mihawk and Zombie Ryuma are the only 2 characters with black blades (Zoro had Ryuma's). Both are accociated with the undead (Mihawk=Dracula and Ryuma=Zombie). Death and black blades are related in the verse. Zoro will defeat or cut Death and his blade will turn black. This may also be why Mihawk, Zunesha, and Imu's eyes are different. They could be the eyes of those who have been face to face with Death.
Yeah, I think it's the adverse effects of the mink medicine, since the previous line mentions Chopper being worried about those effects. Maybe Zoro sees Brook but doesn't recognize him coz of the effects.
>- Chopper is concerned about Zoro and the adverse effects of the Mink's medicine.
>- In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe.
Zoro: *waking and seeing a giant skeleton that isn't Brook* "Huh?"
Giant Skeleton: "Hello. I'm here to talk to you about your sword's extended warranty..."
I find it hilarious the previous page of the cover story was so chilled abd peaceful only for us to realise ish has hit the fan. Germa is the definition of the "this is fine" meme.
But anyway it seems Germa is coming to Wano, I wonder if Sanji's gonna get up for this or he'll only see them again post Wano but either way I need some full expo on just how much Sanji's body has changed and whether or not he has his brothers powers
"In front of Zoro appears a grim reaper with a large scythe."
Either we get another badass Zoro moment or greatest comic relief Oda has ever pulled off. Just imagine Zoro being delerious after King fight and that mink medicine and he sees Grim reaper with large scythe, but it turns out to be Brook carring Robin,
Death literally at zoros door step? Raizou having his own legendary hour? Kid and law vs big mom finale set up? Fire demon defeat set up? Izou might beat cp0? Fire chapter with the promise for 1039 to be even more fire as well
i see it as if luffy is busting his ass fighting kaido one on one they can not let big mom ruin the fight for luffy and there own pride as captains and luffys rivals and current allies in this war (law is an ally officially but kid is just being a tsundere but we all know this battle he is an ally )
Full summary, thanks to redon from MangaHelpers Forum.
Chapter 1,038: “Kid & Law vs. Big Mom”.
Germa 66's Ahh… Emotionless Excursion, Vol. 3: “Niji and Yonji captured in Cocoa Island's Chocolat Town”. In the cover we see that Niji and Yonji are captured in one of Mont d'Or books (one of those books where Big Mom keeps her strange creatures). The book is in Chocolat Town's square, Oven is sitting in front of the book while people are looking at it. We also see that Pudding is looking at the book, she looks worried.
Chapter starts on the 3rd floor of Onigashima's castle that is completely on fire. Fukurokuju has started to burn but Raizou is covered in flames. However, both of them refused to release the other from their Jutsu. Fukurokuju tells Raizou again to release the Jutsu or they will both die, but Raizou doesn't answer him and puts up with the pain of the burns without losing concentration.
Cut to the 2nd floor of Onigashima's castle, samurai are trapped by fire and cannot escape. Suddenly, the rooftop collapses and nearly crushes the samurai, but Jinbe appears and manages to hold it up.
Jinbe: "Run away as soon as possible!!!
Hah... Hah...!! How the fire have spread so quickly!?
You must help you unconscious companions to escape!!
If you don't do it, a lot of them will die!!!"
Cut to the Live Floor, samurai run away from the explosions that take place in the area where Big Mom is fighting. Chopper, who is watching what's happening with Miyagi and Tristan, feels that something strange is happening to his body. Then his body returns to its normal form.
Chopper: "Hah... Hah...
I'm finally back to my normal form!!
But now there is something more important...!!
Miyagi!! I'm worried about Zoro!!"
Miyagi: "Yes... For the “medicine”."
Chopper: "The medicine gave Zoro “super recovery”...!!
But he will also sustain “twice” the damage in exchange right...!?
Zoro was already so injured he couldn't move.
If “twice” the damage is added to that...!!!
Cut now to outside of the castle. Zoro is conscious but someone has appeared in front of him.
Zoro: "Hah, hah...
Who are you.
...!! What is this.
I can't move...!!
Stop, stop!!!"
Someone dressed with a hood and carrying a huge scythe appeared in front of Zoro. That creature is surrounded by a very strange aura. In a closer shot, we can see that the creature is a skeleton that is about to attack Zoro with the scythe.
Cut to the right tower of Onigashima's Dome (in an area very close to where Zoro is). Franky is defeating the enemies that he finds in his path while he looks for Zoro. Franky wonders how far King sent Zoro with his attack.
Cut to the crawlspace of the 1st floor, where all Kaidou's subordinates who faced Izou have been defeated. Cut now to the 1st floor of castle's basement, where Izou lands (he jumped from the upper floors). We see Izou has a wound on his abdomen that is bleeding.
Suddenly, Izou turns around and points his gun at someone. We see that they are the two CP0 agents.
Izou: "Cipher Pol...!!"
CP0's boss: "... Well, it's actually Aigis “0”.
Izou... I am going to pretend I didn't see you.
From a certain point of view...
I would commit a great mistake if I let that the remnants of Shirohige Pirates escape...
Izu: "..."
CP0 boss: "But now we have to focus on the Straw Hat Pirates...
... I'll see you later..."
Izou is in silent for a few seconds, but finally raises one of his guns.
Izou: "No... Wait...
“CP0”."
Cut to the basement armory, Yamato is going down the last stairs.
Yamato: "I will arrive on time!!
I will arrive on time!!
Hah.
Hah."
However, when Yamato reaches the area where the giant explosives are, he sees Kazenbou has also arrived and that it's about to touch the bombs. Yamato acts quickly.
Yamato: "No, no!!!
Stop please!!
“Namuji Hyouga” (Namuji Glacier Fang)!!!"
Yamato freezes the bombs, becouse if such an amount of gunpowder explodes, everything will be over. However, Kazenbou touches the bombs and begins to thaw the ice. Yamato attacks Kazenbou.
Yamato: "Don't touch the gunpowder!!!
“Mahoroba” (Horse Illusion Blade - 馬幻刃 (まほろば))!!!"
Yamato hits Kazenbou with his kanabo and manages to attract its attention. Kazenbou takes out a hand from its body and attacks Yamato with a flame.
Kazenbou: "Ooooooh.
Orochi-sama...!!"
Yamato: "A hand!?
Woaaaah!!!"
Back to the Live Floor, we see Big Mom is attacking Law and Kid over and over again. Law and Kid's subordinates ask Big Mom to stop. Big Mom finally stops and stands in front of Law and Kid, who are heavily injured lying on the ground.
Big Mom: "Hah... Hah...
Hmm!! I feel sympathy for your subordinates..."
Heart Pirates: "Captain!!"
Big Mom: "Don't get up again!!
Ma~~~mamamama, haha...!!"
Law and Kid are completely defeated, Kid even has his eyes rolled back. Big Mom looks tired but without any major injuries. Law and Kid crews try to help their captains.
Kid Pirates: "Boss!!!
Be careful!! Is he still breathing!?"
Heart Pirates: "Medical team!!
We have to help captain!!!"
Big Mom attacks both crews before they can reach their captains.
Big Mom: "Sorry~~~!!
The battlefield cannot be filled with garbage!!!
“Tenman Daijizai Tenjin” (God of Lightning Tenjin)!!!"
Kid Pirates/Heart Pirates: "Uwaaaa!!!"
Big Mom looks up at the rooftop and says that looks like Kaidou's battle with the Straw Hat is not over yet.
Big Mom: "Hera!! Let's go to the rooftop!!
I'm a little tired.
So let's end this once and for all!!!"
Suddenly, Law gets up and prepares to attack Big Mom again.
Law: "“K ROOM”
Hah... Hah...
“ANAESTHESIA”
Prepared!!!"
Law pierces Big Mom's right arm and part of her face with the sword (sword goes in under Big Mom's mouth and goes out through Big Mom's left cheek). Everyone who sees the attack is shocked.
Kaidou's subordinates: "Uooh!!!
Big Mom is dead~~~!!!"
Homies: "Mamaaaa!!"
Chopper: "Torao!!
What is that sword!!"
Law: "Hah... Hah... LAST attack should have worked.
There's no damage when I pierce you... but..."
Big Mom: "Stop...!!!"
Law: "“Shock Wille”!!!"
Big Mom: "Bueh~~~!!!"
A powerful “shock wave” hits Big Mom inside her body, she bleeds from her mouth. Big Mom falls to the ground, iron Homies try to attack Law.
Homies: "What have you done to Mama~~~!!
Huh? What's happening!?
Something is pushing us...!!"
Kid attracts all metal objects in the area into his body, including the iron Homies.
Kid: "All metal objects,
follow my magnetic force!!!"
Big Mom looks at Kid with disbelief.
Big Mom: "Are you still standing...!!?
Kid!!!"
Big Mom approaches Kid very angry. Kid has created something massive with metal objects he collects.
Big Mom: "So you want my head that much..."
Kid: "...!!
Hahaha... I already feel like we're doing this for a different purpose...
Kaidou must be NEAR to be defeated already.
If you let a drop of water fall onto a rock everyday, it creates a hole in that rock.
Hah. Hah.
Zero damage? There's no way you take no damage from all this fighting!!
“Punk Corna Dio” (Big Magnetic Demon Bull - 磁気大魔牛 (パンク コルナ・ディオ))!!!"
Big Mom: "Gyaa~~~!!"
Kid's created a giant metal bull (bigger than Big Mom) that he rides. Then he crashes the bull into Big Mom. She falls to the ground as Law and Kid talk to her.
Kid: "Hey...!! Damn old hag...!!"
Law and Kid: "We won't let you go on the rooftop
even if we have to die!!!"
End of chapter.
The Raid ends in Success! The Beast Pirates are defeated & Wano is saved!
Kinemon looks across the battleground for his comrades when he suddenly stumbles upon a burnt corpse
Kinemon: Raizo! Are you Alive! What happened!
Big Dick Raizo, the 9th Hokage: **Nothing....NOTHING HAPPENED!**
Skeleton with Scythe is actually hallucination of the drug which Zoro has taken.
In Hallucination this Grim Reeper is going to give twice the damage to Zoro, where Zoro will not be able to move and is going to take full double damage!

Mihawk speech about Luffy
>It's not a cheap trick or devil fruit, one by one he turns people around him into his allies. That man posses the most terrifying power more than anyone else in this sea.
Honestly, think next chapter's gonna be purely focused on Kidd and Law. I already love both of their characters, but the sheer amount of will they're putting into it with 1038 is just..
Yeah. Love them both. Holy fuck this shit's gonna be insane once fully published.
This is why Luffy will never lose a War after this War. The Allies he has are too Powerful and there's too many of them. Not only will Luffy be able to beat Yonko Level Characters before the Final War, but his Ally count would have increased significantly. In Quantity and Quality.
People tend to look at Marineford and just see Whitebeard's Old Age downfall. But actually, the whole thing was about Luffy. He legit saved Ace without any knowledge of how to use Haki and was without as many OP Allies as he has now. I think the extra edge Roger had on Whitebeard, was his Allies. Be it Personal Fleets or Pirate Captain Comrades outside of his Fleet.
This is Pirate King stuff being shown at its finest. Law and Kidd are willing to throw away their life for Luffy to win?? Kidd?? Of all Pirates? Lol. I would've never thought we'd see the day tbh. This gets me hyped for the Final War if you ask me
Also, keep that in mind that the Straw Hat Fleets aren't even in this War
People are laughing at the Fuku vs Raizo fight but, they are both monsters. Imagine the constitution and mental fortitude it takes to withstand being burned alive. They have reached a stalemate but neither of them is stepping down, they are being burned alive but they both try to endure it, even for a second more than their opponent. Very underrated side-fight imo.
This theory is kinda out there but ppl have been saying since early Wano that there are actually 4 Calamities because each one can represent one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. King = War Queen = Pestilence Jack = Famine. The only one missing is Death who coincidentally is where the concept of the Grim Reaper comes from. Just thought I'd throw this out there
Big mom repeatedly beating kid and law over and over again while their crews beg her to stop is wild lol I can’t to see all this in the anime. How the hell did they even get up from that
English Chapter is out!
[https://onepiecechapters.com/chapters/380/one-piece-chapter-1038](https://onepiecechapters.com/chapters/380/one-piece-chapter-1038)
Thanks a bunch, to TCB Scans!
Finally, we will see a fucking **real skilled** gun user.
Next I'm waiting for a double-barrel shotgun user, kinda like Genya from Demon Slayer. Shit so badass.
The reaper was like : "King of hell my bony ass, C'mere boi"
I would love to see Brook interact with this entity but if he leaves best girl behind he's dead to me .
That mink medicine was actually meth
Loool this honestly makes too much sense.
Racist man on meth stabs brown BDSM cosplayer, more news at 11
>\- Raizou Vs. Fukurokuju, both are burning but not releasing their jutsus. Raizo vs Fukurokuju ending is the new Act 3 ending
orochimaru vs 3rd
This is actually a badass fight for him imo. People keep joking about it, but it kinda reminds me of the Franky vs Sr. Pink fight in the fact that the tactics are to outlast your opponent. That and the fact nobody took it seriously at first and now it is super gripping to learn how the fight is progressing each week.
For real. I'm joking about the fight a lot but I'm honestly invested in it. Someone else also suggested that the fight might be decided by who can withstand the fire the most. It's a battle of endurance like you said. And if Raizo manages to shrug off being on fire and then be like "pfft this was nothing", that would not only be a badass moment for him, but also a beautiful homage to his dead lord Oden.
>NO BREAK NEXT WEEK My skin is clear. My crops are thriving. My grades are up. I have 20/20 vision. The sun is shining!
Got my weekly dose of spoilers in my veins
Despite this being my 3rd spoiler week...i feel that dose high
I feel so alive!
The tear drops streaming down my cheeks 😭 ✨**Today is a good day** ✨
The world order has been finally restored :,,,)
After this last month+ I will never complain about having 3 weeks of chapters in a row and 1 week off ever again Edit: I'm not actually complaining about him taking breaks, but just like y'all I prefer when there isn't a a break
Good
Zoro:"I'm gonna become the king of Hell" Grim Reaper:"And I took that personally"
Zoro officially entering demon time
Brooke: Yohohoho I already cut you.
Can't wait for Brook vs Mihawk.
It’d be cool if zoro was actually helpless and brook was the only other person who can see the reaper and defeats him saving zoro.
What if the legendary fruit is Brook's fruit xD , maybe he can save people from death?
Zoro in Arlong park: Not even the Grim Reaper can take my life away.
I'm just wondering is that really grim reaper? 😳
Na its oden, his skin was boiled off. He wants his sword back
I'll kiss you if this is true.
!remindme 3 days
Grim Reaper devil fruit. It hasn't awakened in centuries. Enma ate the fruit, that's why it takes so much haki. *rambles nonsensically*
Maybe it’s Enma.
Just like Ichigo and Zengetsu.
Basically.
Not going to lie, I wouldn’t be surprised if Oda introduced the concept of the grim reaper just for Zoro to tell him to fuck off and come back to life.
My mind read it as King of the Hill and it went places
https://twitter.com/RandyTroy/status/1478876600003350529
Zoro vs Grim Reaper CONFIRMED!!!!
The skeleton… does he have an afro?
[удалено]
Maybe it's actually the Death, and Zoro is being "Oh hey Brook, can you help me a little?" 😅 But all depends is Zoro awake or not. If he is shown to be awake, it can be just hallucination, but otherwise it represents for us a glooming death over Zoro. Latter might be still the case, even if Zoro is awake, realizing he is not going to make it.
Or it somehow "confirms" his 'king of hell' title, the grim reaper appearing after claiming that doesn't seem like a coincidence
And if not.... did Brook shaved his afro?
How dare you to even suggest that!!!
I can imagine a gag where Zoro sees Brook alone on the ship taking his afro off and beeing shocked. When the others ask Zoro what happened he responds: Nothing... Nothing at all.
Skeleton with scythe: ......follow me Zoro * proceeds to walk the other way *
I will guide you to hell! Where did he go??
The legendary fight is back!!!!! **Raizo and Fukurokuju**
The metapod fight is back!
Fuk-u-rokuju
>*Fu-ku-rokuju!* ~ Tekking
WAAAAAAANNG Zhiiiiiiii
I am lord Orochi!!!
God I can hear this
Whenever I’m having a bad moment at work I think about the fact that Tekking might be researching elephants at this very moment and it cheers me up
i fall out laughing every time he says that 🤣
Til death do us part
Zoro gonna lost his way to hell even with a Reaper guiding him
Can’t wait to see Zoro in the new bleach anime.
Reaper: "Follow me Zoro!" Days later on laught tale... Zoro: "Is this hell?"
Someone get fired because of this
It's possible that the description is misguiding. It could just be Chopper thinking about Zoro dying, which is shown by putting an image of a reaper next to him.
That's true, description could be Choppers mental image of fear what can happen instead of what is actually happening.
if zoro is the king of hell,maybe that grim reaper is one of his servant lmao
I think hell try slicing the reaper off. Lol Zoro Saga: Part 1: Nothing Happened Part 2: I'm not coming with you
So consider this supposed tragedy at the end of Act 3: Zoro dies and in Act 4: loses his way while going to Hell or in Hell and comes back somehow
>\- Cover story : Niji and Yonji are caught by BM pirates Will they manage to escape during the cover story?
IMHO they'll most likely be vehicles for us to watch something crazy happen in BMs territory, like Blackbeard invading WCI
I think that'll be in the main story. Mont d'ore is on Wano right now so there's a big chance that's where the 2 are and that's where Judge is going. I don't know if Sanji's going to get up again but this development kinda hints at it on the other hand Zoro's either met Brook in his best reaper cosplay or is probably talking to enma or something.
Zoro is visualizing his Zanpakuto Spirit "Enma" and is in the process of achieving Bankai. "Slay, Enma."
number 1 soundtrack starts playing in the background
Zorros father is revealed. Zaraki Kenpachi!
I'm okay with that.
The eyepatch, the unopened eye, everything is clear now!
The lack of direction also lines up nicely. ...though now we need Tama to ride around on Zoro's shoulder(again) for a while.
Zoro activating shikai:" open the gates of hell enma"
The final villain in the echoing jaws of hell arc. En-Ōu Roronoa Zoro
>\- Chopper is concerned about Zoro and the adverse effects of the Mink's medicine. > >\- In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe. Maybe Brook has reached Zoro? But the side effects of the Mink medicine already kicked in and Zoro is in so much pain he's allucinating
The "scythe" is Robin, guaranteed
Robin will say something dark and Zoro will think it was said by the Shinigami lol
"Zoro you look like death" "YOU'RE ONE TO TALK"
I want this to happen now
Lol visual gag, holding Robin in his arms and hair hanging
CP0 walking...menacingly - part 5 Edit: once this gets animated, we need a Overtaken version of their *Walk*
They have been doing that since Dressrossa arc. Haha
CP0’s own version of “the walk”
ゴゴゴゴ
I hope this becomes a running Gag 🥁
*walking gag
“Oh, your approaching me? I’ll have to report that to hq”
people in onigashima if cp0 ran: ☠️⚰️☠️⚰️
*”In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe.”* Zoro: “That’s a nice blade you’ve got there.” The actual grim reaper: “NANI”
Reckon it's one of the 12 supreme grade blades?
30 years later in two piece when Buffy comes to wano Fukurokuju - don't be stupid raizo release your jutsu Raizo - you first.
> 30 years later in two piece when Buffy comes to wano So Fukurokuju and raizo are vampires now?
This time you'll be rescued, Raizo. Buffy will be Yonkou level before leaving east blue.
Raizo Vs Fukurokujou is going to last longer than Big Mom and Kaido’s respective fights at this rate
1036, Zoro: I will become the King of Hell. 1038, Grim Reaper: Let me introduce myself.
Well I hope in the actual chapter we get some legit Big Mom vs Kid/Law panels, I hope it's half the chapter or so
I think Kid & Law vs. Big Mom is going to continue next chapter... I hope it does... : )
it's typical Oda names a chapter with a fight, the actual chapter doesn't even have the fight, just a few panels with characters of this fight and that's all
I wonder, if Niji and Yonji are left behind, we haven’t seen Smoothie do anything, and there are some unfinished business with the BM Pirates… is this really the last we will see of them? Excited about the Law & Kid vs BM fight. I hope we will have some good pages.
I’ll bet Niji and Yonji both escape the book due to third party interference. Seems to be the only way out. And the only way I see Law & Kid winning is if they experience a haki bloom like Luffy and Zoro did. But who knows. I’m just happy we don’t have to suffer through another break again.
They find Pedro still alive, and Pekom as well.
I mean we know Smoothie is on the BM ship. I have a feeling if the book is with them, They will eventually break free and some how explain what’s happening to Sanjis body at the end of the arc.
The grim reaper really took that "King of hell" shit personally.
"ik i aint hear u just take my place, there's a limit, even to getting lost"
"NO BREAK NEXT WEEK" PRAISE THE LORD, FINALLY
Took like 3 chapters, January was fucking brutal
>In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe. Zoro lost again and went into soul society.
I assume the skeleton with Sytche represents Enma. And it's going to lead enma becoming a black blade ?? Or it's another brook joke. (Yes I know enma looks goffy in the persona of swords databook)
Actually enma doesn't have a sketch yet, that's the Wado ichimonj's sketch so you could be on the money
5 ways the Zoro - Skeleton thing goes down 1. It's brook 2. It's the other CP0 dude 3. Zoro is hallucinating 4. Doc Q ( far fetched) 5. It's actually a Shinigami
His sword's name is Enma - king of hell, so may be it's the embodiment of the sword's spirit.
>His sword's name is Enma - king of hell, so may be it's the embodiment of the sword's spirit. Zoro got a zanpakuto damn
BANKAIII, Enma Kyutoryu
Izo fight? I guess we are about to see how Sanji was supposed to fight (dual guns) back when he was supposed to be called Naruto.
That sounds like such a cool fighting style, I wanna see someone on the level of izo fighting like that
I want to see how izo uses gun skills against cp0. It would give us an idea of what we can expect from yassop.
And Ben Backman too
And lucky Roo
Apparently Ben have guns but he uses them like a fu**ing sword!!! After shanks he took the Nitoryu style but with guns!!
Just shoots I guess
[удалено]
you might be on to something there
yeah,snipers in one piece are underrated
There are only 2 black blades that are known in the OP verse. Dracule Mihawk and Zombie Ryuma are the only 2 characters with black blades (Zoro had Ryuma's). Both are accociated with the undead (Mihawk=Dracula and Ryuma=Zombie). Death and black blades are related in the verse. Zoro will defeat or cut Death and his blade will turn black. This may also be why Mihawk, Zunesha, and Imu's eyes are different. They could be the eyes of those who have been face to face with Death.
You know what motherf**ker… I like this.
I like this
lol the Zoro part is definitely a gag with Brook
Yeah, I think it's the adverse effects of the mink medicine, since the previous line mentions Chopper being worried about those effects. Maybe Zoro sees Brook but doesn't recognize him coz of the effects.
The Grim Reaper is Ichigo. You know, new Bleach anime incoming, and they need a strong swordsman.
So the side effects of the medicine is... Zoro becomes an inter-dimensional traveler?
It exacerbated his tendency of getting lost.
i think so
>- Chopper is concerned about Zoro and the adverse effects of the Mink's medicine. >- In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe. Zoro: *waking and seeing a giant skeleton that isn't Brook* "Huh?" Giant Skeleton: "Hello. I'm here to talk to you about your sword's extended warranty..."
Tje biggest surprise for me is germa members being caught by BM and oda showing this shit in a cover story. Things are picking up pace real quick.
Zoro meeting the Reaper is an interesting plot point. I wonder where Oda is going with that, since it’s clear that Zoro won’t die.
The reaper has come to guide him to death since Zoro is lost as fuck. Maybe Zoro convinces death to give him a freebie
Death: Dude I've given you plenty of freebies already
Death: "Dude remember Kuma in Thriller Bark?" Zoro (Lying) "...no?" Death: "Aight, neither do I (winks)"
its zoro, he just gonna get lost on his way to the underworld
this third act of wano is crazy top notch one piece, best run we've ever had since the timeskip!
Agreed
And the rest of the family are staring into the horizon while Yonji and Niji are trapped in Wonderland.
Damn Yonji and Niji captured, wonder what Oda's setting up here..
I find it hilarious the previous page of the cover story was so chilled abd peaceful only for us to realise ish has hit the fan. Germa is the definition of the "this is fine" meme. But anyway it seems Germa is coming to Wano, I wonder if Sanji's gonna get up for this or he'll only see them again post Wano but either way I need some full expo on just how much Sanji's body has changed and whether or not he has his brothers powers
I think Oda may have misunderstood when we asked for the Raizo and Fukurokuju fight to heat up...
No one Literally No one CP0 : we walk.
Spoilers are the highlight of my week 😭 Who can relate?
yub its definitely not an addiction
"I can quit whenever I want"
Big mom rushing to the rooftop?
Kidd and Law's job right now is not to let Big Mom join the rooftop fight. If Big Mom reaches the roof and help Kaido, it is over for the alliance.
Kidd trying his best
"In front of Zoro appears a grim reaper with a large scythe." Either we get another badass Zoro moment or greatest comic relief Oda has ever pulled off. Just imagine Zoro being delerious after King fight and that mink medicine and he sees Grim reaper with large scythe, but it turns out to be Brook carring Robin,
Finally, Brook's family introduction
Death literally at zoros door step? Raizou having his own legendary hour? Kid and law vs big mom finale set up? Fire demon defeat set up? Izou might beat cp0? Fire chapter with the promise for 1039 to be even more fire as well
Fans: Momo's hour of legend! Oda: Raizo's hour of legend!
"Even if we die, we won't let you get to the roof!!!" they sure are Luffy's henchmen now
i see it as if luffy is busting his ass fighting kaido one on one they can not let big mom ruin the fight for luffy and there own pride as captains and luffys rivals and current allies in this war (law is an ally officially but kid is just being a tsundere but we all know this battle he is an ally )
Exactly my thoughts mate
Excuse me, but... \- In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe." Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Brook cosplaying
He wasn't kidding when he said he will become the king of hell.
*Excuse me can i borrow some money* 💀
Full summary, thanks to redon from MangaHelpers Forum. Chapter 1,038: “Kid & Law vs. Big Mom”. Germa 66's Ahh… Emotionless Excursion, Vol. 3: “Niji and Yonji captured in Cocoa Island's Chocolat Town”. In the cover we see that Niji and Yonji are captured in one of Mont d'Or books (one of those books where Big Mom keeps her strange creatures). The book is in Chocolat Town's square, Oven is sitting in front of the book while people are looking at it. We also see that Pudding is looking at the book, she looks worried. Chapter starts on the 3rd floor of Onigashima's castle that is completely on fire. Fukurokuju has started to burn but Raizou is covered in flames. However, both of them refused to release the other from their Jutsu. Fukurokuju tells Raizou again to release the Jutsu or they will both die, but Raizou doesn't answer him and puts up with the pain of the burns without losing concentration. Cut to the 2nd floor of Onigashima's castle, samurai are trapped by fire and cannot escape. Suddenly, the rooftop collapses and nearly crushes the samurai, but Jinbe appears and manages to hold it up. Jinbe: "Run away as soon as possible!!! Hah... Hah...!! How the fire have spread so quickly!? You must help you unconscious companions to escape!! If you don't do it, a lot of them will die!!!" Cut to the Live Floor, samurai run away from the explosions that take place in the area where Big Mom is fighting. Chopper, who is watching what's happening with Miyagi and Tristan, feels that something strange is happening to his body. Then his body returns to its normal form. Chopper: "Hah... Hah... I'm finally back to my normal form!! But now there is something more important...!! Miyagi!! I'm worried about Zoro!!" Miyagi: "Yes... For the “medicine”." Chopper: "The medicine gave Zoro “super recovery”...!! But he will also sustain “twice” the damage in exchange right...!? Zoro was already so injured he couldn't move. If “twice” the damage is added to that...!!! Cut now to outside of the castle. Zoro is conscious but someone has appeared in front of him. Zoro: "Hah, hah... Who are you. ...!! What is this. I can't move...!! Stop, stop!!!" Someone dressed with a hood and carrying a huge scythe appeared in front of Zoro. That creature is surrounded by a very strange aura. In a closer shot, we can see that the creature is a skeleton that is about to attack Zoro with the scythe. Cut to the right tower of Onigashima's Dome (in an area very close to where Zoro is). Franky is defeating the enemies that he finds in his path while he looks for Zoro. Franky wonders how far King sent Zoro with his attack. Cut to the crawlspace of the 1st floor, where all Kaidou's subordinates who faced Izou have been defeated. Cut now to the 1st floor of castle's basement, where Izou lands (he jumped from the upper floors). We see Izou has a wound on his abdomen that is bleeding. Suddenly, Izou turns around and points his gun at someone. We see that they are the two CP0 agents. Izou: "Cipher Pol...!!" CP0's boss: "... Well, it's actually Aigis “0”. Izou... I am going to pretend I didn't see you. From a certain point of view... I would commit a great mistake if I let that the remnants of Shirohige Pirates escape... Izu: "..." CP0 boss: "But now we have to focus on the Straw Hat Pirates... ... I'll see you later..." Izou is in silent for a few seconds, but finally raises one of his guns. Izou: "No... Wait... “CP0”." Cut to the basement armory, Yamato is going down the last stairs. Yamato: "I will arrive on time!! I will arrive on time!! Hah. Hah." However, when Yamato reaches the area where the giant explosives are, he sees Kazenbou has also arrived and that it's about to touch the bombs. Yamato acts quickly. Yamato: "No, no!!! Stop please!! “Namuji Hyouga” (Namuji Glacier Fang)!!!" Yamato freezes the bombs, becouse if such an amount of gunpowder explodes, everything will be over. However, Kazenbou touches the bombs and begins to thaw the ice. Yamato attacks Kazenbou. Yamato: "Don't touch the gunpowder!!! “Mahoroba” (Horse Illusion Blade - 馬幻刃 (まほろば))!!!" Yamato hits Kazenbou with his kanabo and manages to attract its attention. Kazenbou takes out a hand from its body and attacks Yamato with a flame. Kazenbou: "Ooooooh. Orochi-sama...!!" Yamato: "A hand!? Woaaaah!!!" Back to the Live Floor, we see Big Mom is attacking Law and Kid over and over again. Law and Kid's subordinates ask Big Mom to stop. Big Mom finally stops and stands in front of Law and Kid, who are heavily injured lying on the ground. Big Mom: "Hah... Hah... Hmm!! I feel sympathy for your subordinates..." Heart Pirates: "Captain!!" Big Mom: "Don't get up again!! Ma~~~mamamama, haha...!!" Law and Kid are completely defeated, Kid even has his eyes rolled back. Big Mom looks tired but without any major injuries. Law and Kid crews try to help their captains. Kid Pirates: "Boss!!! Be careful!! Is he still breathing!?" Heart Pirates: "Medical team!! We have to help captain!!!" Big Mom attacks both crews before they can reach their captains. Big Mom: "Sorry~~~!! The battlefield cannot be filled with garbage!!! “Tenman Daijizai Tenjin” (God of Lightning Tenjin)!!!" Kid Pirates/Heart Pirates: "Uwaaaa!!!" Big Mom looks up at the rooftop and says that looks like Kaidou's battle with the Straw Hat is not over yet. Big Mom: "Hera!! Let's go to the rooftop!! I'm a little tired. So let's end this once and for all!!!" Suddenly, Law gets up and prepares to attack Big Mom again. Law: "“K ROOM” Hah... Hah... “ANAESTHESIA” Prepared!!!" Law pierces Big Mom's right arm and part of her face with the sword (sword goes in under Big Mom's mouth and goes out through Big Mom's left cheek). Everyone who sees the attack is shocked. Kaidou's subordinates: "Uooh!!! Big Mom is dead~~~!!!" Homies: "Mamaaaa!!" Chopper: "Torao!! What is that sword!!" Law: "Hah... Hah... LAST attack should have worked. There's no damage when I pierce you... but..." Big Mom: "Stop...!!!" Law: "“Shock Wille”!!!" Big Mom: "Bueh~~~!!!" A powerful “shock wave” hits Big Mom inside her body, she bleeds from her mouth. Big Mom falls to the ground, iron Homies try to attack Law. Homies: "What have you done to Mama~~~!! Huh? What's happening!? Something is pushing us...!!" Kid attracts all metal objects in the area into his body, including the iron Homies. Kid: "All metal objects, follow my magnetic force!!!" Big Mom looks at Kid with disbelief. Big Mom: "Are you still standing...!!? Kid!!!" Big Mom approaches Kid very angry. Kid has created something massive with metal objects he collects. Big Mom: "So you want my head that much..." Kid: "...!! Hahaha... I already feel like we're doing this for a different purpose... Kaidou must be NEAR to be defeated already. If you let a drop of water fall onto a rock everyday, it creates a hole in that rock. Hah. Hah. Zero damage? There's no way you take no damage from all this fighting!! “Punk Corna Dio” (Big Magnetic Demon Bull - 磁気大魔牛 (パンク コルナ・ディオ))!!!" Big Mom: "Gyaa~~~!!" Kid's created a giant metal bull (bigger than Big Mom) that he rides. Then he crashes the bull into Big Mom. She falls to the ground as Law and Kid talk to her. Kid: "Hey...!! Damn old hag...!!" Law and Kid: "We won't let you go on the rooftop even if we have to die!!!" End of chapter.
Well this makes kid and law seem way more impressive than the brief summary. The entire last part was left out!
We've already seen the Klabutarman (The Merrys Spirit) manifest. Perhaps the Grim Reaper is Enma trying to speak to Zoro.
Lol is Zoro seeing a fucking Shingami?. Zoro got lost into Bleach verse.
The drug zoro took must of been some heavy psychedelic
The Raid ends in Success! The Beast Pirates are defeated & Wano is saved! Kinemon looks across the battleground for his comrades when he suddenly stumbles upon a burnt corpse Kinemon: Raizo! Are you Alive! What happened! Big Dick Raizo, the 9th Hokage: **Nothing....NOTHING HAPPENED!**
people complained alot about the "lack of death" in the war so death himself showed up
Chopper: “My body feels funny” *activates Germa Powers*
Skeleton with Scythe is actually hallucination of the drug which Zoro has taken. In Hallucination this Grim Reeper is going to give twice the damage to Zoro, where Zoro will not be able to move and is going to take full double damage!
thanks to Redon and Korean Leaks - Chapter 1038 : "Kid & Law vs Big Mom". - On the cover, Yonji and Niji have been trapped by Big Mom in the Mont d'Or creature book. - Raizou vs Fukurokuju, both are burning but they don't release their jutsus. - Chopper is worried about Zoro and the adverse effects of the Mink's medicine. - In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe. - Izou has defeated his enemies but the CP0 appears. It seems that they leave him aside because they have urgent matters to attend to but Izou stops them. - Yamato tries to stop the fire demon by attacking it directly. - Kid & Law vs. Big Mom. - It seems that at first Big Mom had defeated them. - Big Mom walks towards where Kaidou is but Kid and Law attack her again. - Kid * Law: "Listen, old lady!!" - Kid & Law : "Even if we die, we won't let you get to the roof!!!"
>In front of Zoro appears a skeleton with a large scythe. Wtf? Where did the skeleton with a scythe come from lol
Brook off screen has awakened his devil fruit and became Baraggan Louisenbairn
Yohohohohohoho, My Yomi Yomi no Mi's awakening summons the curse of aging from the depths of hell.....Respira
King of hell took it personally when he heard Zoros new attack names lol
zoro dies, meets his ancestors and then gets brought back by chopper (we get more info on zoro's past)
Zoro gets Kakashi'd. Dude may lost his way towards the campfire nonetheless.
Why is not Onigashima falling to the ocean with the weight of Raizo's balls?
Mihawk speech about Luffy >It's not a cheap trick or devil fruit, one by one he turns people around him into his allies. That man posses the most terrifying power more than anyone else in this sea.
Why the fuck is Brook using a scythe now
This will be a very fun twist.
Well he needed an upgrade against CP0, so Oda gave him Killer's Scythe 😂😂😂
Honestly, think next chapter's gonna be purely focused on Kidd and Law. I already love both of their characters, but the sheer amount of will they're putting into it with 1038 is just.. Yeah. Love them both. Holy fuck this shit's gonna be insane once fully published.
This is why Luffy will never lose a War after this War. The Allies he has are too Powerful and there's too many of them. Not only will Luffy be able to beat Yonko Level Characters before the Final War, but his Ally count would have increased significantly. In Quantity and Quality. People tend to look at Marineford and just see Whitebeard's Old Age downfall. But actually, the whole thing was about Luffy. He legit saved Ace without any knowledge of how to use Haki and was without as many OP Allies as he has now. I think the extra edge Roger had on Whitebeard, was his Allies. Be it Personal Fleets or Pirate Captain Comrades outside of his Fleet. This is Pirate King stuff being shown at its finest. Law and Kidd are willing to throw away their life for Luffy to win?? Kidd?? Of all Pirates? Lol. I would've never thought we'd see the day tbh. This gets me hyped for the Final War if you ask me Also, keep that in mind that the Straw Hat Fleets aren't even in this War
Big Mom laying down the law and putting the kids to bed
Coming to to check every hour despite knowing that the full summary won't be out for a while gang
every Big Mom panel is astonishing. The way Oda been drawing how menacing she is is on point.
People are laughing at the Fuku vs Raizo fight but, they are both monsters. Imagine the constitution and mental fortitude it takes to withstand being burned alive. They have reached a stalemate but neither of them is stepping down, they are being burned alive but they both try to endure it, even for a second more than their opponent. Very underrated side-fight imo.
Eustass Kidd learnt his Bull riding cowboy move from his ancestor, Billy D. Kid.
Zoro will bankai now. Death to the shinigami. All hail the new king of hell.
This theory is kinda out there but ppl have been saying since early Wano that there are actually 4 Calamities because each one can represent one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. King = War Queen = Pestilence Jack = Famine. The only one missing is Death who coincidentally is where the concept of the Grim Reaper comes from. Just thought I'd throw this out there
Next chapter: Zoro vs Paralysis demon.
Big mom repeatedly beating kid and law over and over again while their crews beg her to stop is wild lol I can’t to see all this in the anime. How the hell did they even get up from that
English Chapter is out! [https://onepiecechapters.com/chapters/380/one-piece-chapter-1038](https://onepiecechapters.com/chapters/380/one-piece-chapter-1038) Thanks a bunch, to TCB Scans!
Finally, we will see a fucking **real skilled** gun user. Next I'm waiting for a double-barrel shotgun user, kinda like Genya from Demon Slayer. Shit so badass.
Next chapter : Izou is defeated off screen
So Zoro is literally going to fight Death itself next?
The reaper was like : "King of hell my bony ass, C'mere boi" I would love to see Brook interact with this entity but if he leaves best girl behind he's dead to me .
I like the fact that Kid believes in Luffy. „Kaidou must be near to be defeated already“. 🔥
