One Piece Chapter 695 – Hundred Beast Kaidou

Very heart warming chapter filled with great laughs and hearbreaking moments. The face Momonosuke made was undeniably the cutest thing next to Chopper. The chapter was not as exciting as we have been receiving lately, but it is more of a laid back chapter, and known the Strawhats they always party hard after defeating their enemies. Not much can be said about this chapter other than it is good to see the Strawhats, the G5 and the kids getting along with each other. But there is three things I wanted to talk about: First is Momonosuke and his father, Sanji and Law’s skills as a chef and surgeon, respectively, and lastly kaidou.

Momonosuke and his Odd Father

I am really liking the relationship and character of these  guys. It gives hope to the world that a father would go through hell to get back his son. Kinemon is a very likable character, he has outstanding skills as a swordsman that even Zoro and Brook respect him as fellow swordsmen. He has one of the most bizarre yet very helpful Devil Fruit ability and his best attribute is the love for his son. But the way Momonosuke and Kinemon acted, makes me believe that for some reason one of them got banished from the Wano Island. Or it could be that Momonosuke decided to run away because no one was taking him seriously. You could see that he has a very strong feeling against anyone trying to help him, that he is willing to starve rather than accept food from people. I cannot entirely make out what exactly is the problem with Momonosuke but it is looking like he will be hang out with the Strawhats for a quite a time.

The “Chef” and  The “Surgeon”

We all know how great Sanji is as a chef, but ever since the two year time skip, we have never really seen Sanji cook. Sure we saw him make great appealing desserts for Nami and Robin, but in this chapter it is the first time we see Sanji use his cooking skills he learned from his training. And he does not disappoint. It seems that he is able to create food that will not only feed his comrades but also helps their body rejuvenate. As we see how Kinemon mentioned that his body felt like it was being rejuvenated. It is great that Sanji is able to show off his great skills as a chef but what I really want to see, is what he does best, kick some azz, literally. We also get to see how Law is far exceeds Chopper’s skills as a Doctor. I am guessing that Law is such great surgeon because of his Devil Fruit ablity that I am willing to bet that he some how was able to separate the  NHC10 from the bodies of the kids. Interesting fact NHC10 backwards is part of the formula for methamphetamine. Either way Law is proving to be one cunning guy that we finally get to see what his true aim is, Kaidou.

The Emperor Kaidou

The least known Yonko, we know lots about Shanks, as well as Blackbeard, we just started to figure out Big Mama, while kaidou we know almost to nothing about. But if you put the pieces together you can figure out what kind of guy he is. We know that he tried to attack Whitebeard, but thanks to Shanks he was stopped. We know that Moriah’s crew was killed by Kaidou, in turn, Moriah now holds a grudge against Kaidou. So we might see Moriah showing up in the up coming chapters. And finally we know that his title is “Hundred Beast kaidou” leading to believe that he was the Yonko that used SAD to produce his Hundred Zoan Devil Fruit users. This might be his central military power other than his main crew. So far that is all we know about Kaido, but we do know that Law and Luffy are targeting him and possibly try to overthrow his seat as a Yonko. The excitement is indescribable right now, because we just got one badazz arc shown to use, and we know that Joker is on his way and their will be a confrontation with him, but to know that in the near future the Strawhats will have an epic battle against the Yonko is to exciting. The only way to find out is be patient and wait because One Piece 2013 will entertain us till our hearts content.

Side Notes:

• Law is right in saying that they should leave before someone comes. But Luffy will never pass an opportunity to party.
• I know that this chapter was not exciting, but this is the quiet before the storm, because Joker will crash the party.
• When Lufff had three fingers instead of Four, counting the Four Yonko, I think he did this because now he is counting Kaidou down as if there is only Shanks, Big Mama and Blackbeard left.
• Nami having a soft spot for Marine women, that interesting.
