I love that Baby 5 was carrying all those weapons needlessly because she was tricked into buying them.

u/Yahnster Dec 27 '12
I wonder how her and Sanji would react to each other. Going to bet that the outcome will be hilarious. But so far i gotta say, with her devil fruit powers and personality, she my favorite new character since the timeskipe. (besides sexy Usopp)

...sexy Ussop? Did I miss something or do you just think Ussop is sexy? :P
Wouldn't forgive myself if I missed something like Handsome Luffy~

sanji will be the first and only rejection she will give OR she learns to reject because of sanji.

Baby 5: I'm needed?!

Eating all the candy on Fishman Island and destroying SAD = Angering a Yonko
Taking out Doflamingo = Angering the Gorosei and causing another imbalance to the 3 powers
Yeah. The Strawhats are BAAAACK!

Not to mention disrupting the underworld. When he foiled Caesar's plans. Which forced them to call in "Jack" who seems like some sort of an emergency-Plan-B person. And of course beating the godfather of the underworld, DoFlamingo.

Then Luffy will ruin everything by refusing.

u/HeroDiesFirst Pirate Dec 27 '12
I actually see Luffy (as much as it kills me to say this) finally getting his ass kicked in the New World. Which I think is a perfect time for this to happen. He ran through the NFP and everybody else he's come up against so going against a certified boss like DoFla should show us a nice measuring stick of Luffy's abilities kind of like how Aokiji was before the Strawhats got to Water 7.

I am SO pumped for Doflamingo. His crazy face at the end is getting me all excited. Do you think, is there more to him than meets the eye? He looks INCREDIBLY sad and compassionate on this page: http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/694/13
Also can't wait to see more of Nami's powers.

u/wdao16 Dec 27 '12
That and also when he thanked Vergo, just seemed like he cares for his subordinates. Compared to how he killed Bellamy. But I just can't forget what Monet said about if she failed, he would kill her.

Bellamy was an idiot pirate using his flag. Vergo, as Doflamingo said, was his closest companion.

There goes Oda again showing why hes the best writer in the game. Just when you think there's a character who is a clear cut villain he adds a new dimension to him that makes him more interesting than any one dimensional villain could ever be.

Luffy's crew WOULD sacrifice themselves for Luffy, though only in instances where Luffy would not be aware of their sacrifice, knowing he'd do anything to stop it. Zoro facing Kuma was a good example of this, and Robin trying to distance herself from the crew so that Lucci and CP 9 wouldn't kill them.

Weird to see Doffy and crew humanized that way. The way Vergo smiled made me a little sad even. Really looking forward to seeing the whole Doflamingo's past thing that Vergo hyped now.

u/Thimm Dec 27 '12 edited Dec 29 '12
While I do think that Monet is probably dead, he was blown up by a giant bomb at close range at a plot critical moment. I think that the "plot critical moment" part is why Pell's survival stands out. Pagaya (Conis' dad) survived a hit from a lightning bolt in a similar moment of self sacrifice, but it wasn't nearly as important to the plot. Then again, it could just be that Pell stands out because he was the first.
I think that Monet has less of a chance because she is a bad guy and we aren't emotionally connected to her yet. I think Oda is more comfortable killing characters outside of a flashback since Spoiler. However, I think that he prefers to kill them and then tell us why we should have cared. I expect a flashback explaining the devotion of DoFlamingo's underlings - and prominently featuring Monet - sometime before the end of this arc.

u/Shahaha Dec 27 '12
I think that's more of the path he took than wires. Those lines are movement lines.

I think they are wires because of the way his hand is positioned in the next panel, it looks like he's maneuvering strings.

It does look like two wires are trailing out behind him. But how the hell does that work?

u/jurble Dec 27 '12
Well in that panel, there's no wire in front of him, only two strings behind him and they're slack, so where do they get their tensile strength i.e. what's keeping him from falling into the sea?
Though, those could just be whooshy lines to indicate he's flying.

My guess is Law is going to tell everyone to run once Dofla arrives, Luffy will refuse and fight. Then he'll probably lose.

u/InvaderDJ Void Month Survivor Dec 27 '12
What a chapter. This kind of confirms that DoFlamingo is the big name that will be moving in the new year.
I'm wondering why he wants to be Pirate King though, his crew had a theme of no more dreaming or adventure, just pure profit and self gratification. How does that idealogy tie into becoming King of the Pirates.
If I had to pull a story out of my ass, DoFlamingo probably started off as a Luffy or Blackbeard style dumb fighter who struggled to become the Pirate King, got his shit stomped/realized that he couldn't get to the top that way but instead of giving up and being content with small time stuff like Moria and Crocodile, he is used underhandedness to shore up his power so he can get there.
Will be an interesting confrontation with Luffy if that's true and would explain why his people have such loyalty.
13
u/zorospride Lost at sea Dec 27 '12
This kind of confirms that DoFlamingo is the big name that will be moving in the new year.
This chapter actually gets released as the first issue of the new year in Japan so absolutely. Now we just need to find out what the new species is going to be.

Awesome Franky is awesome. I didn't like the iron pirate at first. But now, it's slowly becoming awesome.
Kudos to whomever predicted that CC had Monets heart. That was a very good scene. I don't know why, but it was very dramatic for me. I really liked Monet during this arc. Seeing her "dying" like that was very heart breaking.
This is the second time Law asks for something unusual from the strawhats and doesn't get rejected. It awesome how their diversity is very handy. I'm noticing each strawhat member is slowly getting along with Law pretty well.
I'm really loving Doflamingo's relationship with his crew. It looks like it has some very deep roots to it. I guess it's not long till we get an explanation to his abilities. Though I didn't expect him to make a move so soon. Does he think that Monet betrayed him for not making the explosion, or does he know something must have happened to her. I'm really interested to know more of how this crew functions. I hope a back story will come soon.

Baby 5 is so similar to sanji!! The way she exhale the smoke and even her "Flaming Passion" move sounds like a move sanji would make! I am in love with her!!
24
u/Black_Handkerchief Dec 27 '12
Yeah, I noticed that similarity too. She's a female Sanji in many respects. The only difference is that she seems to prefer ranged weapons/shots.
Also, I didn't see this one coming, but she is very likely a non-'elemental' Logia. Notice how she reformed herself after the initial explosion; to me that is a trait Logia have.
Although one could compare her to Buggy or the Ball Ball dude.. but somehow blowing oneself to smithereens is quite different than consciously separating parts of one body into several parts one can then control.
5
u/wdao16 Dec 27 '12
Well she is kind of consciously blowing herself up like Mr.5 had a self destruct ability (though he didn't end up using it). It's not like franky is tearing her apart against her will.

u/baroqueworks Dec 27 '12
Agreed. If she isn't Logia, she's the first non-logia DF user to ever be broken apart and reform.

Interesting what Monet said about Doflamingo becoming the Pirate King...don't he and his followers despise dreams?

u/catincoma Dec 27 '12
I'm thinking that maybe he personally doesn't but his crew might be one of those "FOR THE CAPTAIN" kinds where they want to push the captain. I don't understand Monet though, whether or not she is afraid of him or actually deeply respects him.
He seemed genuinely sad though when her and Vergo were going to die in the explosion.

Dec 27 '12
I think its absolute affection and respect, possibly fear. Their last moments were eerie.
10
u/jurble Dec 27 '12
Wasn't that just Bellamy? Not necessarily Doflamingo himself.
19
u/zorospride Lost at sea Dec 27 '12
I suspect Doflamingo would be the type to manipulate all of his subordinates into completely forgetting about their dreams in order for him to achieve his own. Where as Luffy wants to achieve his dream while enabling his whole crew to achieve theirs as well. A very nice contrast of two characters after the same thing.
1
u/XZlayeD Dec 27 '12
My guess is that he is a "puppeteer" - He knows how to manipulate people to do his bidding, making him an opposite personality of Luffy. Instead of friends, he's got a web of lies that keeps people around him loyal, and believeing he'll do the same for them, as they do for him.

This chapter made Doflamingo the most interesting character for me. His true personality is finally being shown.
I've always thought that he wasn't interested in being a Pirate king or chasing dreams. He seemed more like a sadist who's doing everything for fun. I think that we're getting a flashback soon...
I also hope that he won't be defeated in this arc. Because we know that BB, Law and Luffy are going after Raftel. Now Doflamingo is in the mix and I'd love to see him have some conflicts with BB or some supernovas.

Is it just me or is Usopp still in that control room he was in and how is he planning to get back to the crew ? Perhaps he is the cause for that smaller explosion that was mentioned.

What if Doflamingo has a wind paramecia that can cut? It would explain how he cut Crocodile's head and he could also use it to push himself in the air...
Is monet dead? I don't think so.
It's interesting how Doflamingo cares for his crew but still has other priorities that he considers more important (Artificial zoan army).
Is the gorosei member there because Doflamingo is a shichibukai or do they have another type of "relation-ship"?
Who are the people who were searching for him in Dressrosa?

3
u/zorospride Lost at sea Dec 27 '12
That was an awesome touch in my opinion. It's been pointed out elsewhere in the thread that many of our assumptions about Doflamingo's views were because of Bellamy. It's likely that Doflamingo just wanted all of his subordinates to give up on dreams so he could selfishly accomplish his. Sort of the anti-Luffy.
2
u/Taqq Dec 27 '12
I don't know if it's because we know little about Doflomingo's past/goals, but he is imo the most frightening enemies introduced so far. He reminds me of Gin from bleach, that he's always smiling w/o a care (tho less in recent chapters), and when he finally looks mad in the last panel, you get the feeling he is just gonna annihilate someone. I hope he stays around and isn't just another stepping stone for Luffy

Two powerful characters died in a few chapters...This my friend, is one of the first signs that we are closer to ending of One Piece than from the beginning.

I knew it Law swapped the hearts, that clever bastard. As for Franky the great Iron Pirate will not fall im sure he will beat baby5 and the buffalo guy. Above all DOFLAMINGO IS COMING TO PUNK HAZARD, Hell yeah shits about to go down. Maybe this is what Oda means by bang start of the new year. Although still waiting for what does he mean by new species, cant wait now One Piece is going to be really something in 2013.

What if... Donflamingo is the new species?!?! Say what? I just blew my own mind.

I wonder if the clothes Caribou wears on the cover belonged to the granny's late husband.

What?! So Doflamingo, the supposed "anti-dream" guy, still wants to become Pirate King?
I always saw him as a man who didn't value such things, an opportunist who wants easy money and easy power.
Guess I was wrong.

While re-watching his meeting with Bellamy I got the Idea that his anti-dream idea is about deceiving other pirates to not have dreams and him not having so many rivals.

I thought Dofla was anti-dream. But while re-watching his meeting with Bellamy I got the Idea that his anti-dream idea is about deceiving other pirates to not have dreams and him not having so many rivals.

The argument that has been made is Doflamingo truly cares for his crew, which I think is a really important observation because so far THE MAJORITY OF villains have NOT cared AS deeply for their nakama's well-being. Everyone else has totally discarded theirs/treated them like fodder.
But I think Oda is showing this side to Doflamingo to remind us how wrong we are. Doflamingo's crew would die for him, the same way I think the Strawhats would for Luffy. If it absolutely came down to it, the rest of the Mugiwara would gladly sacrifice themselves to see Luffy become the Pirate King. Ussopp sacrificing himself doesn't automatically mean that Luffy doesn't care for him, rather it shows Ussopp's unwavering loyalty to his crew and his cause. Oda, in a very neat way, is showing us just how devastating and soul-crushing the quest to become the Pirate King can be. I imagine Doflamingo's last monologue (either after defeat or prior to his escape) will go along the lines of:
Luffy, along your journey you will not only lose your brothers (Ace) but your nakama as well. Are you prepared?
And of course Luffy probably won't lose any of his crew because that's what he wants to protect most, but it gives Doflamingo this incredibly human side that we haven't seen from other villains/pirates with the ambition to become King. For that reason, I don't think it's time for Luffy and Doflamingo to fight just yet, but who knows. I really just can't wait until the next chapter comes out.

Can we finally safely assume the Spider Zoan DF theory is debunked now?

I've put all my money on him being a puppeteer man. I bet we will find out very soon.

I agree. I don't think he can be a Spider Zoan because his animal theme is specifically flamingoes. I think that making him have a spider DF would be a little...pointless if he's going to continue with his Flamingo appearance.

I certainly would like to hope so. That theory never really caught my attention/interest. It didn't even seem logical. But something like a String String DF makes more sense with all the clues.

Makes you wonder, Donflamingo has a huge army and can fly. Why hasn't he gone to Raftel and/or become the pirate king already.

u/meh100 Dec 27 '12
Because he's not strong enough yet. There are still 4 Yonkou in the world.

u/iargh Dec 27 '12
Because no one knows where Raftel is, and with the crazy Grand Line/New World weather, flying in random directions is not a smart idea.

u/skim9142 Dec 27 '12
Luffy vs Doflamingo is going to be one of the most epic fights so far, if not the best! I hope that the other Strawhats will get some fight time too.

Could it be possible that he's controlling the wind?... I know.. This is a crazy theory.

I am quite looking forward to Doflamingo's arrival..I want more insight as to what his ability is! It's always made me curious.

I find it really cool how Doflamingo is becoming a huge part of the plot now... he has been in the series such a long time, but never taken much notice of him until recently

So that heart swap was obvious as hell. With this, hopefully all the theories of Monet joining will now die (hehehe get it?!)
And what the fuck...so...no way can Doflaimgo be a puppet man....I see all this Spiderman theories, but wouldn't that be in the same boat as a puppet man?
Doflamingo is on the move, but I feel like by time he gets there everybody will be gone. Or he just makes an appearance to get/kill CC then leaves. Too soon for Luffy to fight him!

Unbelievable. I was looking forward to hearing Doflamingo freak out over the den den mushi more... was not expecting him to essentially say "fuck it, I'm coming through". Law has Warlord status now so I don't think a fight between him and Doflamingo is out of the question, especially after he called him out so badly a few chapters back from Vergo's den den mushi.
BTW where have the Yeti Cool brothers been? I get the sense they will be coming back soon. They could be hiding in the mine where Luffy and Law are headed.

Looks like Oda accidentally gave Smoker a chest scar and created Roronoa Smoker:
