One Piece

On the other hand, Catarina will almost certainly fight Hancock, and it will almost certainly go incredibly poorly for her.

The arc will last for at least other 76 chapters. It's very likely going to be another Dressrosa

Now, I do wonder, what will the other 4 acts be about?

Of course it will.

Catarina is a Gonk. She's pretty much already done for.

I want to second the fact that the Robin face fault is one of the best parts.

Really intriguing that we got some Wano guys justifying Luffy's one hit KO not with "because Kaidou", but with "because Kaidou's club". And this happened same chapter where it was established that Wano is a source of sea-prism stone with a lot of skilled crafters, so I'm assuming that's the answer foreshadowed here. Kaidou doesn't get anything bad from touching it, so he's either a natural dragon with no Devil Fruit or (more likely) only the spikes are made of sea-prism stone.

Or he's just that OP!

Well, Kaido's the one swinging the damn thing. I'm pretty sure Luffy was one-shotted because of Kaido himself more than anything special about the club. I'm certain he filled that thing with armament Haki when he bashed Luffy's head in.

Since Luffy is probably forced to work for Kaido at the moment, I imagine that he will get extremely angry.

He's already extremely angry.

I'm intrigued by this mystery prisoner. Perhaps he's the "lurking legend" Oda said we'd meet this year?

Wasn't it just Kidd?

Yeah, that was just Kid.

Can you stack Haki on top of Sealstone?

If you can, then that combined with Kaidou's ridiculous strength would be more than enough.

You probably can, but I don't know if that would have any effect. Haki hardens things and bypasses devil fruit defenses. Seastone is already treated as an unbreakable material, and it fully shuts down devil fruit powers on its own.

I thought seastone only disabled control of a Devil Fruit.

I think it was Luffy, Kid, and someone else.

Seastone has the same effect on a Devil Fruit user as being underwater. In small amounts it can weaken/nullify a devil fruit power. A lot at once, like the cage crocodile kept the Straw Hats in, and contact can drain the energy right out of a person.

So in light of how Kaido's men speak of Orochi with a term of respect (sama) and how the beast told his subordinates to make sure the newspaper doesn't mention any pirates (in line with Orochi's isolationist policies), I have less doubt that the relation between the two is more of a partnership with both parties winning rather than a Yonkou and his sniveling pawn. I also expect Orochi to indeed be Kaido's 2nd in combat ala Katakuri to Big Mom.

I’m pretty sure it’s just Luffy and Kidd.

So Kaido wants to break Luffy's spirit? Good luck with that.

"Here's your vegetarian's course Strawhat"

Luffy thinks that everybody who was at Oden Castle died, right? That would be a bit of a soul breaker, I'd imagine

I mean, just look at what that did to Moriah.

Huh then this is a callback to Moriah’s fate.

Luffy’s undergoing the same pain he did.

Luffy looks more pissed off than despaired tbh.

Luffy might believe they are alive.

Sure, he has no proof, but he has faith in his Nakama and all that.
