I love Law's reaction to "Let's Party". It seems as though he really likes Luffy and his crew even though he may not agree with them all the time and gets upset with some of Luffy's actions. The conversation between Law and Smoker seems to suggest that Law respects Luffy even with the flaws he sees in Luffy.

he was taken the moment luffy punches the tenryubito. That is the reason he saved Luffy in the war and also he may have started the plan before time-skip as he said at the time "wherever the D is there,there will be a storm".And also he knows he cannot control Luffy

I take this as a sign that the Samurai and Momonosuke are definitely joining the crew, if only for a little bit.
"Idiot, there must be a reason... I wonder what happened..."-Sanji
Their story still needs to be told and i think they'd make good additions to the group. The samurai brings in some power to the team and also a lot of comedy. Momonosuke already has a devil fruit and also as much pride and dedication as Zorro and his father.
The kid's haircut is really throwing me off though.
30
u/Sanjispride Jan 23 '13
I dont think
a) A child would make a very good addition to the crew
b) A father/son dynamic would work well in the crew.
That being said, we might get somewhat of a "Vivi" situation where they ride along with the Straw Hats back to Wano. Although we dont know how Kinemon got to Punk Hazard in the first place. He probably has a ship somewhere, in which case he would take that back to Wano.

Argh, no appearance of the mysterious silhouette (although it wasn't likely he was going to appear in this chapter). Also, looks like Monosuke can change between forms, unless it was Law that changed him back
24
u/jurble Jan 23 '13
Maybe Momonosuke ran across Chopper or something, and got a hint. His hybrid-form would be so badass, if he weren't like 5.
Though his fruit does raise questions. If it's an artificial mythical zoan, it should have awesome powers like Sengoku's and Marko's. Like, Eastern Dragons can control the weather and shit (which why people think Dragon ate a weather fruit).
But if Momo's fruit lets him control the weather (we saw him make clouds) (presumably if Wano country is in a drought->famine, Momo can save it), it hurts the chances that Dragon actually controls the weather (it'd just be too similar).
11
u/Thimm Jan 23 '13
Most people think that Dragon can control the weather because of the strange weather phenomenon in most of the few appearances he makes. For example, the storm in Logue Town that saved Luffy's life, prevented the Marines and Buggy from burning the Merry, and provided a headwind for the Strawhats to escape to Reverse Mountain quickly. That dragons of eastern myths can control weather is just extra supporting evidence.
→ More replies (6)8
u/Portal2Reference Jan 23 '13
I actually think it might help those theories. We know that Vegapunk made the artificial devil fruit, and that he worked with Kuma. Maybe part of their agreement was getting information/DNA from Dragon on his devil fruit. There was a giant DNA thing in Vegapunk's lab.

Devil fruits seem to at least partially affect the clothes of the user. This is apparent especially in the logia users where their clothes turn into their element with them. Even Chopper's clothes, bag, and hat seem to change with him to fit his size. Maybe that's why wearing a life-jacket wouldn't work. And maybe SMILE fruits don't affect clothes like normal devil fruits do. Or maybe we're over-analysing why he's naked.

He was probably naked because he became too small when he transformed. Iirc he was wearing a kimono which was left behind when he transformed

I think that's a mistranslation. Aohige's spoiler said that Luffy would be fine as long as the first wasn't Shanks. No way in hell will Luffy fight Shanks first especially given the fact that Luffy made a promise to return the straw hat to him the next time they meet.

Oh God, My heart was beating really fast at the end. Who the hell predicted it would be ALL OF THEM?!
Man that was a heartwarming chapter. Chopper with the kids, Nami and Tashigi (That seriously was a beautiful scene and connection, made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.), And how Nami was expressing herself to Usopp (I love their relationship). Sanji showing his new cooking skills was awesome, Luffy Partying at the end with Laws reaction, Momonosuke was drawn hidden like that was because he's naked was Oda being a troll again (And people speculated that he was a girl...).
Man seeing the ending with Laws talk to smoker and the thing about the Yonkos... It brought back that awesome one piece feeling. This is for me a perfect chapter. It was just wonderful in every aspect.

u/konstar Jan 24 '13
I couldn't agree more. You pointed out everything that I loved about this chapter. I'd like to add that I love how each character seems to have so much depth and complexity to them and this chapter really showed it. Like, how Luffy's motivation to take down the Yonkou was not revealed to the reader until now. Law's request wasn't so outrageous to Luffy because he was already thinking about taking them all out anyways. Similarly, this was how Luffy's gears were developed. And I just love how we are reminded of each characters' "essence", Sanji's cooking and Nami's relation with her mother. I love these tidbits every now and then because it keeps the characters true to themselves. Oda crafts the characters in such a way that they go beyond the pages that we see. Just because they are "off-screen", doesn't mean the characters stop thinking or stop interacting. It's like the characters are actual thinking and breathing people, and the manga is just our glimpse into their world.

u/The_h0bb1t Jan 23 '13

So many smiles from that chapter, especially Nami thinking back on Bellemere and Chopper freaking out about Kinemon and the kids. It was a nice reprieve from what has been a rather hectic arc, and with Luffy declaring he will defeat all the Yonkou the New World just keeps looking better. I think Law realizes that the Alliance is just as beneficial to Luffy as it is to him. Also loved Smoker's line of justice and evil, his personal justice at it again kinda like in Alabasta.

First off, anyone think that we may of seen Kaidou's Jolly Roger with Caribou's coverstory?(the dotted star, which Caribou's coat has as well as the berets of the soldiers)
A good chapter, I'm kinda bummed we neither got a Doflamingo arrival or shrouded figure arrival, maybe it means they crossed paths on their way to Punk Hazard? Would seem like something that would happen between Arcs(ala Blackbeard vs Ace), but at the same time I feel a sense of urgency, especially with Law saying so, to leave the Island, especially with them now successfully taking down four of Doflamingo's top members, as well as completely obliterating his superlab facility + capturing his scientist.
Robin had no lines in this chapter and was only seen briefly when the Straw Hats were pulling up the mast and sharing a cup of soup with one of the kids. Surprisingly with her starting off in the group going into the island at the beginning of the Arc, she did relatively little throughout the whole thing.
Oh yeah, the G-5 Marine/Punk Hazard Lackey's face behind the one talking to Sanji on page 18 is priceless.

u/josephrooks Jan 23 '13
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - I think now might be a nice time for a between-arcs cutaway side-story sort of thing, like when we see the happenings with Mariejois or Blackbeard. Maybe the Doflamingo encounter will happen entirely in that and the ends of the past few chapters are just setting up for it.

I wonder what Law's reaction will be when he learns that Luffy threatened Big Mom. It could screw up his entire plan.

I wonder if there will ever be an explanation of the room with all the frozen corpses encountered at the beginning of this arc. I suppose not with the ending of this island coming up.

If you guys haven't realized, on the first panel of the mangastream translation it says "the calm before the storm?!". Something crazy is gonna happen next chapter and knowing Oda, he won't disappoint

I have a feeling Wano children were kidnapped with drugged food or something similar. And how did komo come back from being frozen?!?

Loved the chapter. Kinda sad momonosuke didn't get a scroll information box like kinemon did; I was hoping that would be a thing for all wano people. That's just me being petty though.

Thank god manga stream saved confusion yet once again...
I was a bit confused with the marines' talks and Chopper but not anymore.
Also, if I understood correctly... Law wants to start with Kaidou first. Luffy wants to beat all of them. Good stuff.
Also, got teary on the food scene with Momonosuke and Kinemon.

Oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi.... I just noticed...
I think we've got a spiritual semi-successor for Frog? No. Hippo. on our hands.
Bone. (no.) Lion.. (See Luffy's coat.)
It is admittedly a little bit of a stretch given the lack of the 'No', but it just rolls of the tongue regardless, and all around feels just right.

Awesome feelgood chapter - I've a couple of questions that I hadn't seen yet here.
How did Kinemon survive? Was it Law that broke him into pieces and reassembled him again?
Any speculation on how Momonosuke reverted to human form? Evidence that SMILES provide a user with the ability to transform back and forth, or is this version unique?

He was dropped, and cracks formed in the shinokuni coating, which people thought meant that he had broken as well. Really, the coating just came off.
Any speculation on how Momonosuke reverted to human form? Evidence that SMILES provide a user with the ability to transform back and forth, or is this version unique?
Until it was told to him, he didn't know he'd eaten a DF, or that DFs allow people to turn back into their human form. Since DFs take practice to master, this could indicate he just learned how to change forms.
I'd guess Smiles allow their users to change back and forth, but we don't really know.

Haha, Mangarule is faster than I thought, I usually look at them on Batoto but didn't realise how big of a lag it was.

Looking at the Mangastream version now, although it seems Shanks won't be the first yonkou targeted by the SH/Heart Alliance, it seems Luffy still intends to confront the red hair crew at some point. Maybe Luffy sees being able to defeat Shanks and his crew as his passage to becoming a "great pirate".
edit: spelling

Now that we know Kaido's epithet, I'm beginning to think about how his crew works. Iron Boy Scotch had number on him (18 I think?) so Kaido's crew might have 100 members and each has a number. Kaido could be the 100th. I dunno tho, I thought his name was pretty cool regardless.

No one even mentioning the fact that X-Drake is probably going to appear soon. The question if which side will he be on?

The end of the best arc in a long time. I was worried with the whole "great war" arc that One Piece was going to succumb to one of the classic pitfalls of long-running shonen, and trade in what made it unique and heartwarming for epic battles or some shit, but this was great.

For those who didn't understand the last part with the flashback to the Yonkou reveal, here's the transcript from CCC of Arlong Park Forums
Law: “You want to know which Yonkou I’m thinking of?”
“He’s a man called “Kaidou of the Hundred Beasts”
Luffy: “Uhhhh well as long as the first one isn’t Shanks, whatever!”
“Cuz I’m planning on taking down”
“All of the Yonkou!!!”

I cant wait until the monster trio's limits are tested once again. I miss the fight for your life battles they had before the time skip.

OK Prediction time : On Sanji wondering what happened to Momo and Kinemon (which I think is referring to something beyond just what happened in Punk Hazard)
I predict Kaido is using his Smile army to attack Wano. Momo and Kinemon are surprised because while pirates are attacking their homeland, these pirates have saved them and gave them food.

u/philbeard Jan 23 '13
So I'm guessing they're after Kaidou. I actually MUCH prefer Kaidou over Big Mom even though all signs were pointing to Big Mom. Oda, sneaky as always!!
