User blog:Ghmorello/Chapter 895: No Step On Snakeman!

Well, we got a new Gear 4th form, but we get a short chapter with little to no dialogue. Even with a quick chapter, the action should be fun when animated.

As for Luffy's Snakeman form, it's what I expect it to be - thin, long, more movement, and most importantly, it's the basis for Luffy's speed attacks which is what he needs to counter Katakuri's Observation Haki abilities. While we saw these new moves, Katakuri decided that he wants to be a doughnut and unleashes his ultimate move, Spiked Mochi in which his arm turns into a giant mace. The chapter ends with the two making one last explosive clash. Who won? Will we see the result next time? Well guess what, Oda adds insult to injury by making us wait through another break. The way I see it, I think 896 will focus on the Straw Hats vs. Smoothie, and we'll know if Luffy won by seeing if he steps out of the mirror in Cacao Town.

Rate The Chapter. 5/5 - Snakeman! 4/5 - Explosive Endingman! 3/5 - Maceman! 2/5 - Doughnutman! 1/5 - Stawman!
