Summary

The chapter begins by showing Sanji, Robin, Zoro, and Luffy being disintegrated by the sunlight.

The scene then changes to other places outside Thriller Bark where it showed that other pirates have regained their shadows and they assumed that someone must have defeated Moria. One of them found it hard to believe that Moria was defeated as he once fought equally against Kaidou, one of the Yonkou. (Yonkou means The Four Great Emperors. They are the four strongest pirates in the New World and currently, three of them have been revealed and they are Shanks, Whitebeard, and Kaidou.)

The Strawhat pirates got their shadows back as well and they were saved in the nick of time. The scene then changes to the conversation between Hogback and Absalom. Hogback kicked Absalom until he finally woke up and told him that Moria was defeated. Hogback then said to him that he had no intention of staying at Thriller Bark anymore as a loser, and asked him what does he feel about it.

The scene then changes again back to the Strawhat pirates. Usopp was worried about Luffy’s Gear Third as it causes massive damage to his body. He felt that the road ahead of them is full of even stronger enemies and that if Luffy were to use Gear Third every time, his body might not be able to handle it.

The zombies then thanked the Strawhat pirates for defeating Moria. Captain Lola wanted to repay them and asked the guys who want to be her groom. She was instantly rejected by all of them. At this moment, Nami suddenly remembered about Bartholomew Kuma, another Shichibukai who was on that island. Every one was shocked upon hearing from Nami this news. Captain Lola mentioned that Kuma was nickname as ‘Violent-kun’ in his pirating days.

Kuma was ordered by the World Government to obliterate every single soul on Thriller Bark. (Except Moria, of course) Zoro said that he would handle him and told every one to step back. Nami warned every one about his teleportation ability, and that he could make a person disappear simply by touching them.

After that, Moria teleported and sent a heavy blow at the zombies, injuring even those whom he never had contact with. He then teleported once again to Zoro’s back, telling him that he would begin with him.

End

LOL @ Sanji

The zombies expressed their gratitude towards the Strawhats pirates.

Kuma’s not to be taken lightly…

Zoro is doomed.

Personal Opinions

Finally, Moria has lost. But that’s not the end of the Thriller Bark arc. We’ve all forgotten about Bartholomew Kuma! I thought that he had already left the island but he was still there. This really spells DOOM for the Strawhats pirates. Just how on Earth can they handle 2 Shichibukai at once?!? Right now, Luffy is already down. The strongest among the remaining Strawhat pirates is Zoro. With his current skills, I doubt he can defeat a Shichibukai alone…

That said, is this really a gone case for the Strawhat pirates? The answer is of course a ‘no’. My guess will be that someone will definitely come and save them. As for the identity of that person, I guess it should be Shanks, Mihawk, or Ace. Kuma had earlier on asked Nami about something regarding Ace. But still, Ace was heavily injured by Blackbeard… So I guess it should be either Shanks or Mihawk, though Mihawk would have a higher chance. Since Kuma said that he would start with Zoro, I guess Mihawk would come and save him in the nick of time. How great would it be if this is true! The 2 greatest swordsmen will meet again!

Also in this chapter, something amazing is revealed. Kaidou is part of the Yonkou. Well, this news isn’t that shocking though since most fans have already guessed that. I suppose his face will be revealed soon…

I really wish that the last Yonkou is a female. Till now, we have yet to see any strong female pirates. (The strongest is Alvida, but she’s as weak as shit.) Oda sure is discriminating against the females. Girls, stand up for your rights! Even in Shichibukai, we have yet to see a female member. Also in the Marines, the high positions are all occupied by males. Are females really that weak? I hope Oda will be able to throw in some strong female pirates…
