Nika spent some time watching Zaza, but maybe he headed toward the Western Village because she was there. Perhaps the two knew each other in the past, and seeing her brought back old memories for Nika.

While Jinbe still can’t understand Luffy’s actions, Nami says he didn’t run away. Right below that, we see Luffy in his monkey form. 🐒
I think this is the question Oda is posing to readers: If he didn’t run away, then why did he head toward Zaza? 🤔

Last year, when I used to post images from the latest Jump issues and manga volumes, my tweets often went viral, so I used the mute function quite a bit. It’s been a long time since I last had to use it. 😅

I woke up to a ton of notifications about the Double Sanji tweet. 😂

Thinking about it that way, making Zaza burst apart feels less like a serious fight and more like Nika playing a prank on an old friend.

ONE PIECE fans, especially Zoro fans, of course know that his birthday comes from the Japanese term “zorome” (ゾロ目), meaning matching numbers! ⚔️

The wording makes it a little confusing, but your understanding is correct. The two powerful Haki signatures were heading toward the Western Village, and one of them was Luffy, who had already gone ahead. There’s no hidden implication in the wording.

@SReminal Hello, brother! @sr Can you do a detailed breakdown of this? I asked ChatGPT earlier and told it that I thought Jinbe was talking about Luffy and Imu, but it came up with something close like this (2nd). It said there were three people involved, not two. What do you think?

@GanioNami I’m not sure why they’re not listed. Bandai Namco does make Pokémon products, so I wonder if it has something to do with how the sales are accounted for. Pokémon is one of Japan’s biggest IPs, after all.

@Radicalbyte343 That’s an awesome selection! But are the prices still pretty high over there?

[あれ吉【Are-kichi】 @SReminal]

This really puts into perspective just how massive Gundam is as a franchise in Japan. Major cities have dedicated Gundam Base stores and plenty of shops specializing in Gunpla. It’s a huge part of Japan’s pop culture!

I was wondering why I was getting so many follow requests today, and it turns out they were from people in Poland! Thanks for the follows! Just a heads-up, though: this account is pretty much all about ONE PIECE, so if you’re cool with that, welcome aboard! 😅

[あれ吉【Are-kichi】 @SReminal]

One of my teachers once lived in Poland, and the people there were so kind to him. He said if he ever died outside Japan, he’d want it to be in Poland. After retiring, he moved there. I’ll never forget how happy he looked.
And of course, I like Poland because of Lewandowski too!

[あれ吉【Are-kichi】 @SReminal]

@Gr4v1TyEXcell I’m only familiar with the newer stuff.

[あれ吉【Are-kichi】 @SReminal]

@JustAP3ak Yeah, it makes sense that Gundam brings in so much money when it’s one of Bandai’s flagship franchises and they own the IP outright.

[あれ吉【Are-kichi】 @SReminal]

@Radicalbyte343 Oh wow, I didn’t know that! It makes me happy to see Gundam spreading around the world.

[あれ吉【Are-kichi】 @SReminal]

The Rain God Zaza is a MUMA, so it should disappear when Killingham falls. But it’d be interesting if Nika made Zaza real, and Nami ended up picking up the fragments after it burst apart and summoning them! ☔️

@AK_PiratePrince @Eiichiro_Staff So does that mean Luffy is Son Goku from Saiyuki? 😲

Luffy has turned into a full-on monkey!? He seems to have the intelligence of a wild animal and can’t even speak anymore. Maybe, like the Jailer Beasts in Impel Down, he’s been consumed by the will dwelling within his Devil Fruit, Nika itself…😨

Just as Luffy is destined to become the Pirate King, I hope Zoro will not only become the World’s Strongest Swordsman, but also the new Sword God, as a descendant of Ryuma! ⚔️

Happy birthday, Roronoa Zoro! ㊗️🍶
