User blog:Fliu/Chapter 999: One More Step to the 1000th Chapter Mark

So Kaido and his top subordinates were away when Ace showed up at Onigashima. A less exciting story, but I suppose it’s better than Kaido beating Ace down and forcing him to submit. It’s too bad the Whitebeard Pirates never went to war with Kaido despite knowing about Oden’s death. At least Marco and Izo are here now.

It’s a good thing Momonosuke and Shinobu still trust Yamato even after learning that she is Kaido’s daughter. I hope the people of Wano will be accepting of her. At least Yamato has friends who would vouch for her.

Now with Marco, Zoro, Robin, and Brook going up the castle, I wonder who will bring down King and Queen. I just hope that Sanji has not been reduced to being Black Maria’s “pet”.

Seeing Kaido just sitting on the roof makes me wonder if the Scabbards are unable to continue. They had a good run, though it didn’t last long. I did not expect Kaido to have received his Devil Fruit from Big Mom.

I wonder how big the next chapter is going to be. Will Luffy finally reach the roof?
