Due to the current break being a WSJ break there's early spoilers. On the 20th the thread will be updated with fan translations for the chapter and on the 22nd the official release will be out.

No Break Next Week

Chapter Link: Viz, Mangaplus

Discussions not related to the chapter should be discussed in the General Discussion Thread Here.

Spoilers could potentially be discussed in this thread and try not to derail this thread.

The spoilers said that Sanji couldn't handle them both at the same time, but that Zoro collaborated with him at the end of the chapter.

Anyway, this seems fun. The big problem is that Basil Hawkins has linked himself to Eustace Kidd, and if Kidd falls and cannot help Trafalgar Law against Big Mom, that will cause serious problems.
 
Also, I really hope that Momonosuke won't be aged to adulthood. That would be a downer ending.
 
Because he is a young child who would have adulthood suddenly forced upon him. He would never get the chance to grow and have experiences in a normal manner, and would also grow old and die much earlier than otherwise, and never get the chance to properly grow more skilled and stronger on his own.

From what we learned in One piece, there is no such thing as "enjoying your childhood in such a dark time" when despicable pirates constantly finds a way to make your life miserable or turn it into a straight hell; every strawhat, every Shishibukai and Marine all of them never had that and were forced into an environment to become stronger, Momo is no exception. Momo at a "young age" is expected to lead a country, the country and its residents can't wait any longer, who knows what might happen next? besides, isn't Momo according to "history" already a full fledged Adult.

In my opinion, i genuinely don't see any issue with it.
 
I think that it would be too cruel to Momo and he would also not be able to get the opportunity to grow stronger to anywhere near the same extent as otherwise.

I think, you need to take into consideration If they don't beat Kaido, there's no future for anyone, there's no adulthood or enjoying your youth if you are dead or turned into a Moria (Suffering from PTSD).

Momo took this burden upon himself, he is willingly sacrificing his "childhood" in exchange for saving everyone's lives and bringing peace & freedom to Wano Kuni. In fact, it's a big gamble because Shinobu herself can't control how much he will age, she's not Bonney after all, who can freely control anyone's age. Shinobu could potentially "kill" Momo.

True, but i guess Momo its more than willing to do that if it means save Wano and defeat Kaido, even if its a heavy price to pay.

Just like how Luffy had to lose 10 years of his life so to survive Magellan's poison.

Compared to Momo, Luffy was a grown-up. He was 17 at the time. It is a critical distinction we make in real life as well, allowing 18-year-olds to take all kinds of risks while protecting those who are younger

It's still incredibly dark for a child to have to make that decision. If they actually go through with this, I think it will be breaking new ground for One Piece in terms of kids making difficult decisions
 
I mean, we are forgetting the fact that Kaido already killed his childhood long time ago; He killed his father, his mother is dead, his sister is already an adult and presumably most of his childhood friends are already adults too or were killed by Kaido, forced to travel 10 years into the future as a result seeing his country tainted by Kaido and his crew.

Is there really anything left to enjoy for him at that point?

Momo isn't an innocent child anymore. He had witnessed all those whom he hold dear dying or enslaved, considering he still has the willing to keep moving forward shows how strong he is and that he's the most suitable leader for Wano Kuni hence why he inherited Conquerer Haki.

He overcame multiple obstacles to reach to the point where he is now, he can't be selfish when others are depending on him! making such a difficult decision is only natural in such a situation, because that's the only thing left or might be the key to rescue Wano Kuni.
 
I do not really care if Momo loses his youth. I do care that this means he will more likely take the throne now over his sister and that Juko no mi's decaying abilities are being forgotten to make it a plot convinient Bonney fruit 2.0

I'll have to agree with Fix here.

I'd rather Momo lose his youth than his life, plus his youth consisted of "training to kill an Oni". He was destined to have no youth.

Wait

Why are we asking like it's by force?

Didn't Momonosuke ASK for that?
Click to expand...
That's the point i'm trying to make. It's Momo's decision to prove his determination. Also keep in mind, Shinobi isn't a bonney 2.0, she cannot fully control how much he's going to age, she could even potentially killing him. I strongly doubt she ever tested that on an ally, otherwise she would've agreed to Momo's request
 
I am just glad King's Wildfire will likely finally take out Marco and the 2 VS 2 fight fans predicted waayy back when King & Queen were introduced can finally happen. Zoro can already cut fire but I want to see him learn to manipulate it next and RS Sanji has some new Wano tec to show off against the mad scientist.
 
Tbh, i can't wait to see the raw scans (Sanji fighting against two yonko commander lvl characters, i wonder how well Sanji handles this situation until Zoro jumps in to aid him in the fight)

Aren't you forgetting Boa hancock's past?

Boa Hancock was a victim. That's different. Almost every major One Piece character had some major childhood trauma. They weren't forced to make life-altering (worsening) decisions and were generally protected/saved by good people (eg: Corazon was saved by Sengoku and went on to save Law, Hancock and her sisters were saved by Fisher Tiger etc.)

Exactly. This would be a way too dark ending. I would much rather see Momonosuke manage to fly Luffy up to face Kaido as he is now.
 
BTW, if King finally beats/incapacitates Marco that would (finally) be an absolutely solid feat for Kaido's Top Commanders
