In this episode of the Nerding with Friends Podcast, we’re testing out a brand-new format and are joined by Justin from The Wine Piece Podcast to dive deep into the latest One Piece manga updates.

We kick things off with the Nerding News Network, covering big stories in anime and pop culture—from the record-breaking success of the new Demon Slayer movie to updates on fan-favorite series like Spy x Family and Dandadan.

Next, we bring you the Countdown Chronicle, spotlighting the latest from Countdown Publishing. Our revamped website is live with comics, books, prints, and more—plus a new blog to keep you updated with fresh nerding news even faster.

Our main segment breaks down One Piece manga chapters 1156–1160. Key talking points include:

• The introduction of the mysterious Davy Clan

• New revelations about Figarland Garling and Monkey D. Dragon

• The beginning of the epic God Valley Incident

• Theory Time: Who is the true mastermind behind Marshall D. Teach (Blackbeard)?

Finally, we answer community questions, including whether a character can actually lose Conqueror’s Haki, inspired by comments on our crossover episode with the Animanga Junkeez Podcast.
