One Piece, Chapter 863:
Real life's being a huge, huge dick to me, so I don't really have much time. Yes, cartoon episode reviews are still happening but that's mostly because I have them mostly ready to go a couple of days/weeks in advance. So this is going to be a mini-review. A shorter review. First up? Amazing colour page, amazing great collage of like a couple hundred One Piece characters.
So it's not a clone technique, it's not Gear Five or anything, it's literally just a bunch of animals that Luffy rounded up and forced Brulee to make to look like him, unleashed via mirror. Big Mom's rampaging and eating the souls of any cook who's afraid of death. Luffy, like the great idiot he is, almost immediately goes 'it's me!' when Big Mom demands to know which one of them is the real Luffy. KataDogtoothKuri apparently has some kind of mochi mochi no mi logia powers, quickly sees through Luffy's plan to smash Mother Caramel's photograph, and tells Big Mom of the Straw Hats' plan, which he sees through in no time flat. Luffy is trapped in Katakuri's attack, but Jinbe and Pedro go in for the rescue.
Jinbe gives us some introdumps about Katakuri's powers, and claims responsibility for telling Luffy about Mother Caramel -- basically saving Capone's skin in the process. Jinbe challenges Big Mom, noting that this is his great mutiny, and I thought that it was going to be a silly moment of 'let's make a sacrifice for the sake of a sacrifice!' *cough*Makarov*cough* but thankfully it's not that stupid of a story, and Big Mom's power doesn't work on Jinbe because he doesn't have any fear. He gives a badass line along the lines of "a member of the crew of the future pirate king won't cower at a mere yonko", and still has the audacity to pretty cool-ly put a cup of sake down as a sign of respect, if nothing else.
Meanwhile, Brook, disguised as one of the Luffies with a fake pasted-on mask, walks up nonchalantly to Mother Caramel's photo and smashes it with a dummy hammer.
What the shit, man, Brook!
Very awesome chapter. Jinbe was the uncontested highlight, but god damn, Brook's short, brief moment was awesome as well.
