Very interesting chapter. There's a lot of things that we're left to think about after it. @catx3 Seems we were pretty close after all, Hachina did plan for Gakuto to die on the ship. I figure he decided against it after the course of the game itself, which was the trouble he was referring to...

Another chapter release?! Team Duwang, you're too good for us. That's the leader of Ideal, right? I wonder at which point Hachina (as Leader, I imagine) had spoke to him. As for the unidentified corpse, I sure hope it's not Gakuto...

Great chapter to end this batch on! Mogami was implying that Hachina had other things in mind for Gakuto beyond just straight up winning the game. I think this could tie into what Kidou was talking about before in chapter 285 with them coming to the ship in the first place. That aside, I don't...

This guy just up and moved the damn screen at the last second?? That really feels like bullshit. Well, not that it mattered in the end, since Lacy is left unable to call for help and Voja's dead. Looking back on it, the end result, win or lose, were always in favor of Kaji's side. A win meant...

@WarpEcho I've never heard of that rule, and quick searches haven't shown me that sort of rule either. Have the battleships games you played used that condition?

@saxifraga I think the point is that because it was a person like Gakuto, who we consider to be "average" in gambling, the trick wasn't found out sooner. Were it Hachina, or even Kaji honestly, I think Lacy would have been beaten much faster. Now I wonder what Hachina's going to do since he's...

@299792458 That's true, but to be able to take over the situation against a Kakerou member like he did is still threatening. Though in fairness, if Yokoi didn't completely screw Kaji into this situation in the first place, I doubt even that would have been a problem.

Man, the art's changed so much since the early chapters. Compare Kaji in page 2 with Kaji in ch. 52, there's so much more detail. Gakuto had to be backed by both Hachina and Kaji to come this far against Lacy. He's quite a threat, it seems. Also, it came to my mind that Kaji's not actually...

@catx3 The Cruiser could potentially have been in the two panels below the point he determined as the hit, which is why I'm confused about his certainty. But, chances are I'm just overthinking it anyway, and he simply had more of a lapse in judgment. The truth is that Gakuto wouldn't dare put...

My theory on it being J10 seems to have been disproven, at least. That said, poor Oofuna, missing all 20 shots from the volleys. Now he has a... 1/3 chance of being beaten? Actually, this makes me wonder what was up with Lacy's theory in the first place. Why was he positive in regards to the...

Holy shit, Hachina coming in with the final hour save! He's disguised himself look like Voja too, probably to sneak into the control room and the rest of the ship easily. @catx3 I think Hachina was going to explain the position of the last one by bringing up the A1 miss. Personally I think if...

@belkrax Really, the point of bringing the problem up in this chapter is, like you and I know firsthand, the fact that swapping is the "right" choice, but it doesn't make sense for us as to why. It's literally the difference between what we think is right, and what is mathematically right. I...

Ah, the Monty Hall Problem. I really hate that thing, it just hurts to think about it whenever it comes up. Nonetheless, nice chapter. Gakuto's essentially at 4 ships down so far, "only" 5 more to go! I wonder if Lacy ended up putting all the ships near the points that Gakuto actually missed...

@299792458 Well it's more that to actually sink all 7, he'll need to figure out the trick and re-aim at the top left, or else the best he'll be able to do is 6.

7 ships huh? Yeah that's totally gonna happen through the power of Gakuto's determination. /s It's seeming like Kaji is the one who figured out the radar trick and Yokoi still doesn't fully understand it, or this is some next level fakeout for the cruiser location. I'm hoping it's the latter...

Total WTF moment with Voja being a woman there. Also, with this, she's technically disembarked from the boat like Hachina said, so I wonder if at least part of this he saw coming. @LuffyKun We have yet to see Kyara after collecting the evidence for Kaji from the Hell Bull arc, but it's implied...

@belkrax It's quite reminiscent of Kaji yelling at Kyara to get lost during the Hell Bull arc. Feels like a stupid move given the situation. It might not be if the phone doesn't matter for Hachina to contact Gakuto, and so this is basically a mindgame to mess with Lucy, but I'd imagine there...

It's either treasure or some complete garbage Lacy considers treasure, for sure. For Hachina to come up with a plan like this on the fly really is amazing. I think it's hilarious that he's basically using Gakuto as a proxy for a Kakerou match. More hints towards what the captain's secret...

@299792458 @catx3 I do think that Gakuto will be the one to accidentally figure it out after getting a few more battleships down from Hachina's search of the boxes, wondering why the top left missed. I wonder how many times before Lacy has played this game against others. It's definitely his...

If you take a look at Gakuto's misses on the boards through the last couple of chapters, particularly ch. 288 p.13, a lot of them are off center from the panels. In fact, Gakuto's miss on the top left is lower than the center of the panel. Which means if @299792458 is right about there being a...
