One Piece 1117 Manga Recap – 'A'

Author: InBetweenDrafts June 19, 2024 Duration: 1:01:16

This week on Rookie Pirate Radio, Jon Negroni and Travis Hymas discuss the latest chapter of the One Piece manga, titled “A,” or "also" or "another" depending on the translation. One Piece 1117 is currently available to read for free on Viz.

We want your feedback! If you have any questions, corrections, or your own theories and speculation, you can either email us (rookiepirateradio@gmail.com) or join our Discord, where we have a special channel devoted to all things One Piece spoilers! 

Discussion Points for One Piece 1117 (Spoilers!):

  • What does the name of this chapter actually mean?
  • Why has Yamato STILL not left the Flower Capital in the cover story?
  • Will Vegapunk's message continue?
  • Is the Iron Giant down for the count?
  • Is that really Don Krieg, Gin, and Pearl on Hachinosu? How? Why? Why?!
  • Is this really the end of the arc? Should we expect a big standoff with Bonney and Luffy now that the Gorosei have stopped the message?
  • What is the connection between Nusjuro of the Gorosei and the Kitetsu blades?
  • (Jon's theory) Could the Iron Giant have gone to try and save Joy Boy (or execute him) 200 years ago when he last woke up, meaning Joy Boy was imprisoned for centuries to keep his devil fruit out of play?

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when you're deep into a story, caught between the latest chapter and the next one. Rookie Pirate Radio-A One Piece Podcast captures that feeling, offering a space to unpack the sprawling world of Eiichiro Oda's masterpiece. Hosted by the team at InBetweenDrafts, this podcast feels less like a formal review and more like hanging out with friends who are just as invested in every twist, character reveal, and lingering mystery. You'll find detailed manga recaps here, breaking down new chapters as they arrive with a mix of analysis, speculation, and genuine excitement. But the journey doesn't stop at the printed page. The discussions often expand into broader anime roundtables and seasonal previews, connecting the dots across the medium. Whether you're a longtime fan following the Straw Hats' voyage or someone curious about the cultural footprint of anime and manga, this show provides a thoughtful and engaging companion. It’s the kind of podcast that makes the wait for the next installment a little easier, giving you plenty to think about until you can dive back into the Grand Line yourself.
