User blog:Kaido King of the Beasts/Chapter 884: Sing or Swim

Well, that was definitely an unexpected chapter. Overall nothing revolutionary, with the exception of a very important revolution about Katakuri's power.

Katakuri's weakness in terms of his Haki wasn't too surprising, but what was surprising was how his Haki works with his Devil Fruit power. I was starting to wonder if Oda would just gloss over him acting like a Logia those few times, but no, he had a plan for that! At least, somewhat. How does his body transformation work exactly? Can Luffy achieve a similar result by making a part of his body pure rubber? I'm interested to see what Oda does with this combination in the future. Also, Luffy gets thrashed around in Gear Fourth! Looking forward to what he does next.

I wasn't expecting to see either Pound or Oven show up on Cacao Island. I don't know, maybe this is supposed to be a serious situation with consequences down the line, but I thought it was pretty hilarious to see Oven beating Pound up (and MS made a hilarious mistranslation of Oven calling Pound father-in-law, which would be a tad freaky if true). Will this lead to Sanji vs. Oven? We'll see...also, the appearance of Lola and Chiffon as babies is probably the reason why Big Mom dropped Pound to begin with.

I was beginning to wonder if Oda had forgotten Praline with the advent of Joscarpone, but first with the correction in Volume 87 and this chapter, that looks to no longer be the case. It was beautiful.

How was the chapter? Blew my predictions away Warming up The singing was nice, I'll admit Akin to an ugly toddler Staw
