One Piece Chapter 1059 showered with praise from fans amidst engaging, exciting, and informative issue

Fan reaction

The battle for Amazon Lily, as seen in One Piece Chapter 1059, has been one of the most dominant aspects of discussion regarding the issue since its unofficial release.

Fans particularly praise Blackbeard and Hancock as seen during the battle, with neither coming away looking particularly weak or ineffective.

The two’s quick skirmish in the issue is also being heavily praised, especially for its portrayal of Blackbeard as a truly dominant and scary threat within the series’ world.

Fans also praise Hancock here for her ice-cold standstill with the Yonko, where she essentially forces him to call her bluff regarding the lives of his crewmates.

One aspect of the issue which is being heavily discussed in small groups, is the reveal of Silvers Rayleigh’s wife, Shakuyaku, as a former Amazon Lily empress from two generations prior.

It’s also revealed that she was the captain of the Kuja pirates during this time, which has fans incredibly excited and also grateful for such a reveal.

One of the most impactful aspects of this reveal is that fans finally have a means of explaining how Rayleigh knew where Amazon Lily was without a Log Pose. Even his time as a Roger Pirate couldn’t explain this, since Amazon Lily is located in the Calm Belt and the Pirate King’s former crew never sailed those seas.

It also explains why Shakuyaku wrote a note to Gloriosa following Rayleigh’s arrival at Amazon Lily after the Marineford War. Furthermore, it explains why Sandersonia and others present all reacted with such reverence, respect, and gratitude upon hearing Shakky’s name.

After several hundred chapters, One Piece Chapter 1059 has finally given fans an answer to this question.

The foreshadowing of her being a Kuja tribeswoman is receiving particularly heavy praise from fans, with many citing it as one of author and illustrator Eiichiro Oda’s best slow-burns.

This is also likely due to Oda taking a step back and deepening the lore on a previously introduced character, rather than introducing completely new characters as has been a recent trend.

While fans are focusing on specific parts of One Piece Chapter 1059 in social media discussions, the issue as a whole was incredibly engaging. In addition to the above reveals, fans were also introduced to the Seraphim, piquing readers’ interests with their Lunarian features in their apparently Pacifista-based bodies.

Many also praised the quick Marco, Shanks, and Yamato cameos in the issue’s opening pages, serving as an explanation for where Marco went and why Yamato stayed in Wano.

It also gives fans the true reason for their staying behind, rather than simply attributing it to Oden having journeyed Wano before Yamato, which upset some fans for being too shallow.
