With today’s release of Episode 1040 of One Piece, Jinbe, the Straw Hat Pirates’ Thousand Sunny’s captain, finally gets the recognition he deserves. Before this episode, Jinbe had an encounter with the current Tobiroppo, who used to be a member of CP-9. This episode marks the beginning of their fight after much buildup. Any admirer of the ex-Sun pirate should see the documentary The Pride of a Helmsman—The Enraged Jimbei! In One Piece 1040, Jinbe is put in the spotlight when he squares off against a Who’s Who of pirates.
What happens when Gifters betray their team?
Back a few episodes, Otama was responsible for a mass betrayal of Gifters. About two thousand fighters switched sides under her persuasion, which has been a huge burden for the Animal Kingdom Pirates. Episode 1040 of One Piece further illustrates how the odds have shifted in favour of the Straw Hat Pirates because of Otama’s skills. The Gifters step in when her adversaries try to capture or murder her.
Members of CP0 sit in a guest parlour inside the castle and talk about how the disparity between Kaido’s 30,000 pirates and Luffy’s 5,000 allies has been nearly eliminated. Kaido’s crew of pirates now numbers 16,000, while the Straw Hats’ crew has grown by 9,000 since they began their rebellion.
Zeus is now Nami’s partner
After witnessing the beneficial effects of Otama calling the Gifters her friends, Zeus asks Nami to make him her attendant in One Piece episode 1040. Nami, however, says she isn’t interested in keeping him as a servant, henchman, or maybe even a pet. When Big Mom threatened to destroy Zeus if he didn’t take action against Nami, Zeus decided to take action. Unfortunately for his enemies, Zeus soon turns black and thunders over them after Nami accepts him as her partner. Usopp says that Nami is so manipulative that she can get anyone to do what she wants.
Proof of Jinbe and Luffy’s friendship
Who’s Who Tell Jinbe he went to jail for not securing a Devil Fruit on a Government ship. Luffy is Who’s Who’s a target because he inherited and enjoyed the Devil Fruit, despite the fact that Red Haired Shanks stole it. Jinbe expects Luffy to return to battle, so he’s trained to take out anyone threatening his captain. Jinbe enlists Luffy’s aid in an effort to save Ace; he consoles Luffy after Ace’s death; Luffy invites him to join the crew, and Luffy is overjoyed to have him back. This reveals to viewers of One Piece episode 1040 the inspiration for Jinbe’s undying devotion to Luffy.
What’s Up, Jinbe, vs. Who Are You?
The fight sequence between Jinbe and Who’s Who in episode 1040 of One Piece does not disappoint fans who have been waiting eagerly for such a fight. Who’s Who takes the initiative and fires a Fang Pistol at Jinbe. Blood is spilt as Jinbe attempts to use Armament Haki to prevent pain, but fails. In later chapters, he opts to avoid taking damage, and he does so effortlessly. Who’s Who may have been right in thinking this was a good idea, given how feeble Jinbe’s Haki is, but the reality is that at first, Jinbe wasn’t even trying.
When Jinbe overhears Who’s Who making racist comments about the Fishmen & how they were an enslaved race, he explodes. The relentless Who’s Who assaults have little effect on him. In One Piece Episode 1040, Jinbe takes the initiative and punches Who’s Who with his Demon Brick Fist, ending the fight.
