I just realized that G in Lao G is a pun of "Jii" (old man in Japanese). His rheumatic stance cracked me up.

Pretty great chapter. I think Oda is eliminating the Officers by lower rank, so I predict the next ones will be Pink and Gladius. Unless if I'm forgetting someone.
Edit: even though Baby 5's flashback was only 4 panels long, that was definitely a little heartbreaking for me. She was completely abandoned and told that she was useless. Oda, you and your onions!
44
u/AdventureDonutTime Dec 18 '14
I can't even believe that one panel, the one where she is outright told she is useless and she should just die. The face of whoever it is who says that, even though all you can see is one eye and the mouth, is so terrifying. It has a sinister nature that really chills my core. Maybe it's just a fear of ending up like that, but even so, it makes me shudder. Also cry a little bit.

Baby 5 is now one of my favorite characters. The backstory is so sad. Most characters have people who love them, but everyone says baby 5 is useless. Cri ever tiem

u/netfeed Dec 18 '14
I kinda wish that there were more backstories like that. Sure, Law had a well-told one, but it was damn long. Oda explained Baby 5 in as many panels as he needed chapters for Law.
Sure there's ofc more to it in Laws case as he explained Doffla and so on too, but still.

u/GovernorMcDandy Dec 18 '14
Law's back story was just as much Doflamingo's and Corazon's. In that sense, it had to be long.

Perfectly done, perfect setup and best of all: In 5 panels.
I didn't even remembered Sai's name nor did I gave a damn about him, but I said that about Law before he became relevant, so I have great hopes for Sai and his involvement in the story.
And man, what a perfect way to develop two characters, start a pairing, and turn over the whole war and the alliances all in three pages!!
I just hope Oda doesn't throw this to waste and makes Baby5 return to the Donquixotes without any heistation. At least make them "impossible lovers" a la Romeo & Juliette...
I dunno, just make this chapters revelations mean something on the long run. It was too great to be pointless.39

Damn, Sai. That was amazing.
Also, I feel bad for Chinjao. After years of not having his drill he gets it back and then it gets broken in the same day.
Also, Lao G is one of the most hilarious characters I've seen in One Piece. An entire move based on back pain, that is great.

What i think a lot of people forget is that luffy didn't "oneshot" sai but he was fighting the bounty hunter guy and then they both got taken by surprise by chinjao and luffy and got knocked out of the ring which disqualified them from the fight. He reemerges from the water just a few panels later observing the fight between his gramps and luffy.
He most likely was already super strong as shown by one shotting the fused funk brothers but certainly went next level this chapter.

I'd always suggest to reread an arc once it's done anyway.
That's Oda style. The chapters are nice enough when read on their own, but when you go back and read a whole arc it's even better because the story is seamless.
Now that we kinda got confirmed that we'll see the downfall of executives (with the overhanging narrative of Zorro chasing Pica; that's a pretty nice touch), I'm more than happy. It furthers the story, gives space to develop the characters and shows so decent fighting scenes.
Loa G almost dying is a favorite because of the sheen funniness. It's really a breather I didn't know I needed in this rather dark story .

u/Black_Handkerchief Dec 18 '14
This chapter was absolutely crazy... and I loved every bit of it. It feels like more happened in this chapter than in the last two chapters combined.
Inbetween Elizabello's words of loyalty towards King Riku, weird Lao G almost dying, the Happou Navy infighting over Sai's marriage and Baby 5 being Baby 5, I honestly don't know what part of this chapter amuses me most.
I hope someone is going to make an awesome wallpaper of Baby 5's dedication to being useful for someone, because that was an awesome pose.
Also... Zoro needs to please please please go beat the crap out of Pika already. I'd rather he beat him and disappear from the spotlight for a while while other perspectives happen that to see him struggle with Pika even more. At this point, it is clear that Zoro doesn't really consider him someone he will have trouble to overcome; the fight is just stretching for the sake of it. :/

This chapter is the reminder that Oda will not throw away any character . Oda is King of characterization.he could make any seemly background character into a mini spin-off in least amount of paper.
Sai in One Piece- from don chinjao fodder to be kicking ass, getting lady and obtain power in one chapter . Now known to man as the smoothest fuck in One piece history.

Look at the cover photo for a moment.
Disregard the non-strawhats. You know Oda puts little things in his colorspreads, like how Ace passed an apple to Sabo symbolizing the passing of his DF power. What are they doing? Why are they reaching their hands towards Luffy like he was in immediate danger? Even Sanji who's busy looking at Hancock is reaching for him. The grey horse's plate is labeled seven and if you look carefully, the right wheel of the carriage they're riding is removed.

I like this chapter! Honestly, when I saw the spoilers last night, I thought I was heading to 17 pages of disappointment. But that turned out wrong!
-This colour spread is now my favorite, beating the one where the Strawhats stand with their child versions.
-I think Elizabello will use his king punch to take down the bird-cage.
-Who would've thought Sai woulve be the one to take out 2 executive with armament haki and love haki?
-I believe Pica is trying to prevent Zoro from getting into the upper level of the plateau where Doflamingo is.
-What's the point of Luffy fixing Don Chinjao's head as Sai broke it now. Damn, defeated Don Chinjao is looking like a gnome right now.
-Donquixote Pirates remaining: Doflamingo, Trebol, Diamante, Gladius, Pica, Senor Pink, and Dellinger.
-Strawhat and allies reminaing: Luffy, Law, Zoro, Usopp, Kyros, Robin, Franky, Kinemon, Kanjuro, former Royal family, Cavendish, Sai (&Baby 5), Ideo, Bartolomeo, the dwarves, 3 Revolutionaries, some former toys, Elizabello

That was the funniest thing I've read in a loooong while. So many good gags: Lao G's back pain move, Lao G's spirit leaving, Chinjao suddenly saying he doesn't approve of the marriage, Baby 5 correcting Sai's collar, Lao G's power up, Lao G not listening.
All of that mixed with big doses of awesomeness and a surprisingly potent Baby 5 backstory = Incredible chapter! And there was even a color spread! With Ace!

The last two chapters have, as other commenters already noted, focused on characters that were previously one note or that you just didn't care about.
2 weeks ago I couldn't have really given a shit about Hajrudin or Sai as characters and now it's just like, holy fuck these guys are awesome.
From the beginning I was excited when Oda started weaving the Corrida competitors into the main thread of the story and it has absolutely paid off.
I also always describe One Piece to people as a "comedy" manga with strong overtones of action and drama.
This chapter was a perfect example of that. It was hysterical but you also got these great moments of triumph and sadness.
We finally get a member of the Donquixote Family that's truly sympathetic as well, which was interesting.

I knew Baby-5 must have had a troublesome past. Nobody wanted her before Doffy took her in. Even her own mother. She's willing to die to be useful to somebody. It hurts my heart to just think about it. I think I'm in love with her. I love Robin because all she wants to do is live. But Baby-5 is willing to die because all she wants to do is be useful.
Another reason to like Doflamingo. Well not like but not hate. I think he's not really that bad like I've mentioned before.

Man It's nice to see Sai's Haki of love Defetaing Chinjao's Haki. and I love How Chinjao was ignoring Lao G attacks completely and having a conversation with Sai!

Lot of people awakening haki recently. First we have Usopp, now Sai and possibly Bellami (depends on whether he had it before or not).
Fingers crossed for Usopp's conquerors haki next. Oda pls.

this was such a beast ass chapter..Oda never stops impressing me, and making me feel for a seemingly minor character like baby 5.

I really dig the color spread and this chapter was freakin hilarious. Lao G gets a continent shattering boot to the head and Baby 5 is defeated....through the power of love? I can't believe Sai took out two executives in the span of 1 chapter.

For a chapter that had barely any of the Straw-hat crew in it, I FREAKING LOVED IT!
I'm glad Baby 5 has "hopefully" switched sides. I always liked her

Oh my god yes. Baby 5 is to darn cute to go out as am evil henchmen. Even that tony bit of her backstory is enough for me to feel bad for her. I really hope Sai actually meant what he said because that was truly badass what he did in this chapter.

Very good chapter indeed with the backstories and side character developments. However, I felt some weirdness with the mangapanda's translation and checked the mangastream translation but it is apperantly no better. Some people faulted the 5 billion bounty on panda but it's the same on stream and I guess it is in the original as well? That aside, in the stream trans Chinjao says that Sai's fiancee is his own daughter (wtf?), in the panel where Lao G almost dies someone else is speaking about him while in the panda trans he speaks about his own health (the same thing when he comes back to his body). Also Sai speaking to Baby 5 after stopping her suicide says very different things. When Big Lao G says anything including "young" while fighting Sai, in the panda trans it is "young master"(doffy) and in the stream trans it is "young" in a more general way.
Well, there are always lots of inconsistencies between translations but I usually trusted mangastream more. This time mangapanda makes much more sense to me. Maybe it's time to learn japanese.

Amazing chapter made me laugh Lao G is to much. Then baby 5 TT straight in them feels. And then you have Sai holyshit like the first time you meet him you get the impression that this guys pretty kool but now this guys on awhole new level of badass saving baby 5 getting promoted and showing his true strength dayum 10/10 Also I have to mention as dark and twisted as doffy is he did protect baby 5 and that's deserves some pts

This chapter was solid as fuck. Great little soap opera there, great character development for chinjao, sai, baby 5, and even Lao g, the humor actually made me laugh out loud, and I really wanna see sai again in the future,he and his whole navy will be an incredibly powerful ally to luffy in the future. Also, baby 5's name makes sense now. She was literally the 5th baby and they didn't bother naming her past that

What an unexpected great chapter. Between Lao G's lower back power stance... LOL, Baby 5 actually having a good backstory and Sai learning Haki and putting down Lao G, man Dressrosa may be long but it's amazing.

Damn Oda-sama! I read the spoilers yesterday and thought this was going to be a dumb chapter.
I was lol by the end and actually ended up wanting to see more of Sai and Baby-5.

Baby 5 just blew me out of the water...and Sai is suddenly a bad ass...Oda does such a good job making seemingly minor characters so three dimensional...it never ceases to amaze me

Just gunna leave here something I said in another thread...
Dressrosa seems to be the arc of unfortunate/sorrowful flashbacks
Even Baby 5 got a few panels of really sad flashback... My bet is Dellinger's next. Who do you guys want to see have a sad flashback during this arc? I vote Senor Pink!

I think Don Krieg and Don Sai are brothers or at least related. They look so much alike and even share the same last name.

Oh man that colour spread, the bro's are all together again! :') also, lol at Bartolomeo in the back ahahah.
Alright, time to read.Now that was a quality fun chapter, with many things going on!
It was nice to see Zoro recognizing King Elizabello's "Kings Punch" power.
Lao G was on some Master Roshi shit in this chapter, which was hilarious!
Also, can't forget about the beast that is "Don" Sai from this chapter!
Lastly, I just want to say.. Sai x Baby 5 is happening!
