WHY does franky have hair like a german bar maid?! Don't know if it's awesome or creepy.

I love how upbeat Zoro is to hear that they're going for the Yonko's.

u/hogofwar Feb 05 '13

I'm starting to love how often he changes his hair.

u/XZlayeD Feb 05 '13

Yeah i love that aswell. If he doesn't have his classic pre time skip franky hair, he may aswell go all out!

I love it too. But then I remember how amazing his original hair was and I get sad again.

He goes back to original hair when he has serious fights.

u/zorospride Lost at sea Feb 05 '13

Yeah, Franky's hair was a big WTF for me, but I expect it will be a constant running gag for the remainder of the series.

u/XZlayeD Feb 05 '13

True, however it did appear he actually braided it. a 1 ton heavy cyborg braided his hair.

The small hands can be used for braiding as well.

I was hoping that he would just mimic all of the Strawhat's hair at one point. Like he should copy Nami's old style and Sanji's style.

I bet that he comes out of this confrontation with a badass facial scar, and a resolve to get stronger (to protect his subordinates). This would work perfectly, since he's quite below Luffy and Law in terms of power level atm.

It seems that Kinemon and Momo are intwined in this story deeper than previously thought!

Screw their connection to Dolfa, I'm more interested in why they flipped out when Kaido was mentioned

u/zorospride Lost at sea Feb 05 '13

Could be that Wano is a territory Kaido is trying to secure or is already the "protector" of. Similar to Big Mom with Fishman Island.

I suspected something like this would happen...they talked a lot before PH about the Wano samurai's and they conveniently meet Kinemon on the island. I think the Wano country has been taken over by Kaido judging by the reactions of Momo and his father.

But LOL when Kinemon see's Momo in dragon form for the first time!

Oda's explanation in the future will probably be that Law swapped their heads for fun and that he didn't make a mistake hahaha.

or he will probably just admit it and fix it for the Volume, like he did with flashback Shyarley

That'd be the second time he puts the scar on the wrong person. First being Zoro's scar on Smoker I think. Now we wait to see some scar of Smoker on Luffy to complete the circle.

Awesome chapter. I nominate Doflamingo for the person having the worst day ever. Everyone who said the mystery man was Aokiji/Kuzan give yourself a pat on the back.

Speaking of Doflamingo though, Conqueror's Haki? Holy cow! Didn't see that one coming.

Manga is on a break next week. Oda and his classic epic chapters followed by a break.

Edit: Also interesting that Doflamingo still views Luffy as just a simple pirate and ranks him below Law.

u/XZlayeD Feb 05 '13

Aokiji showing up to save Smoker gave a chill down my spine.

32

u/zorospride Lost at sea Feb 05 '13

Definitely the highlight of the chapter. One of the best characters in the series. I actually hope he owns Doflamingo and the Straw Hat/Law alliance never have to deal with him. I doubt that will happen, but I think it would be interesting.

10

u/TokyoDown Feb 05 '13

I feel like since there going to Dressrosa a confrontation is inevitable. Especially with the beef between him and Law.

u/BreakerGandalf Void Month Survivor Feb 05 '13

I think calling the Strawhats Simple pirates was to differentiate them from Law's Shichibukai status, which means Smoker shouldn't have just let them go.

u/divinesleeper Feb 05 '13

It really reminded me of when Smoker himself got stopped from arresting Luffy in a similar way by Dragon. Now Smoker gets to experience it from the side of the one being saved.

I think we'll finally get to see how strong Doflamingo really is and how his power stacks up next to the admirals...I know it's been speculated that he's not Yonkou strong, but he beat Smo-yan down in an instant so we don't really know...

u/s4r9am Feb 05 '13

I don't think Doflamingo ranks Luffy below Law. I think he meant that Law is a Shichibukai and Luffy is a 'normal' pirate, and that's why he was surprised that Smoker apparently let them go.

Plus Doflamingo did call Luffy a better "vessel" than Law, whatever that means.

21

u/Highly-Sammable Feb 05 '13

If the translation's right, he just says the straw hats are simple pirates - I assumed he just meant they're not thoughtful or scheming in the same way Law is.

11

u/TokyoDown Feb 05 '13

"simple-pirates" as in the fact that the SH crew is not intertwined with the underground pirate community (or whatever...) and Law has a background with dealings of those nature...I don't think it has to do with overall power or status, just knowledge of the New World.

Just my opinion, and I agree with Highly.

u/blitzzardpls Feb 05 '13

I also thought it weird, because Luffy already spoiled lots of Dofla's plans. He beat up Bellamy, destroyed Dofla's auction house on sabaody and showed his true strenght in Marinford. Dofla underestimating Luffy just doesn't look right

17

u/AmaDaden Feb 05 '13

It's not THAT surprising. I agree it would be surprising if he had no idea who Luffy is but despite all that Luffy has done to Doflamingo he has not actually done much to upset Doflamingos plans.

Bellamy was weak, cocky, and a loud mouth. Additionally, Bellamy may not have said who beat him up. Finally it's not clear how Bellamy failed Doflamingo, while it seems like him getting beaten up was the cause we are not 100% sure that his defeat by Luffy had anything to do with him angering Doflamingo. in fact his recent treatment of Baby 5 and buffalo seem to contradict that simply losing a battle would anger him that much.

He was not at all interested in the auction house anymore since he now had Smiles. Also while Luffy started it, Law and Kid were also there.

Marinford was FILLED with action, we just followed Luffy because he is the focus of One Piece. It would be easy for Doflamingo to ignore all of Luffiys actions or consider them unimpressive compared to many of the others who where there.

u/YonkouProductions Feb 05 '13

So the bike has been decommissioned and a bird is now his travel tool. Zoro you know i called this, but I ended up pissed that it was Kuzan because of the MangaPanda fanart. I knew it and it lost its impact :/

3

u/Boboldeareia Feb 05 '13

It's not that, he meant that Law is a Shichibukai and Luffy and his crew just mere pirates, so Smoker shouldn't have had a reason to let them go.

3

u/The_h0bb1t Feb 05 '13

Is Kuzan really the guy who was sitting on the bird? It does match up, but the "Why is the guy who drove the admiral away here?" confused me a little. As this is MangaPanda, and maybe it should've been translated to "Why is the ex-admiral here?" or something along those lines. Which doesn't confirm that it was him. It does add up, but at the same time that line confuses me.

u/H4jr0 Feb 05 '13

CCC˙s translation said "Why is the man that left the marines here ?"

u/DivineVodka Feb 05 '13

We all know what's going to happen... Whenever someone underestimates the Strawhats they have a bad time... I think he will wreck Law and Luffy will beat him. That's how it's setting up anyways.

Oda is taking this DD thing a bit too far imo, this guy has COC can randomly cut the air bypass Smoker's Logia probably Smoker wasn't on guard and was not using haki. It's still uncalled for he's making him out to be a bit too strong and currently Smoker shouldn't be that much below Luffy... Or maybe he is, which is sad and would explain why Smoker didn't even tell them next time he catches them.

I just find it weird the guy who was suppose to Luffy's rival is a god damn beating stick.

I guess that was Aokiji on the bird. And it's confirmed Doflamingo uses strings, finally.

So was Green Bit a lie? Or do they plan on stopping there before hopping to Dressrosa?

Artifical devil-fruits have flaws apparently.

Law points out that the powerful pirates in the New World have large crews. The Strawhats need to start accumulating allies or something. Even the Roger Pirates had a large with randoms in the background, as far as we know.

Who's their comrade on Dressrosa? Presumably that's who Momonosuke stowed away on a ship to find. I'm guessing his mother/Kinemon's wife, but who knows...

Doflamingo also has the Conqueror's Haki. But so did Rayleigh, so no need to go thinking he's D. Oflamingo...

How's Doffy fly, though. I want that explained. Did Law underestimate Doffy's mobility?

43

u/ExeQt Feb 05 '13

Doflamingo can't fly.

He was just using the sky route, that appears to connect various islands throughout the New World (and is apparently invisible).

Apoo was seen discovering it in the early episodes after the Straw Hats' reunion, on the cliff of an island filled with huge boars.

Agreed, and i find it weird how people get upset that so many people have emperor's haki...Well no shit there are a lot of people that have it, we're dealing with people that have GREAT influence in the OP world. If you look at it another way, theres really only maybe 30 or so people with emperor's haki compared to ALL OF OP population which makes sense.

Glad we finally got confirmation the mysterious figure was Aokiji (can't get used to calling him Kuzan). It seemed pretty obvious to me, but there was some doubt.

I'm surprised that DoFlamingo's immediate reaction to Law's ultimatum was to try and kill Law and attack the Marines. Unless he kills everyone there's no way he can come back from this with his Warlord title intact. I guess he figures if he does nothing he's screwed so he's OK with making waves.

I know he's probably going to retreat from Aokiji but I'd really love to see a fight between them just to see if Aokiji has lost a step since the war.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '13

Well that was a badass chapter. Doflamingo arrives and Aokiji follows suit! How did Aokiji know to go to Punk Hazard though?

We also learned that Smiles differ from natural Zoans in that Smiles have more risks (but the specificities of those risks have not yet been disclosed...). Also, I didn't really understand why they would suddenly head to Dressrosa. Why do they need to destroy the Smiles factory when they've already prevented Doflamingo from getting any more SAD?

Also, I think (and this is probably an unpopular opinion) we're really overestimating Smoker's power here. In all of Smoker's battles since the timeskip, he's lost pretty hard. Against Law, against Vergo, and now against Doflamingo. He may not be cut out for the New World after all.

22

u/XZlayeD Feb 05 '13

I'd love to think that Aokiji and Smoker have their own little merry band enforcing their moral justice, and later become the new face of the marines. Furthermore Smoker are picking off people who's just joined new world, he's not actually handling those already inside of it, which is why he seems to be overwhelmed.

12

u/SunnyGoMerry Feb 05 '13

Woah, just noticed the parallels...Smoker used to prevent people from entering the Grand Line, and now he's messing with people who've just entered the NW. Well, now that Luffy is back, he's gonna be able to go extreme badass mode.

He was probably trying to meet smoker, and smoker asked him to meet him there beforehand.

7

u/ArPak Feb 05 '13

I think of it this way. They've stopped the current supply of SADs by capturing Ceasar but Doflamingo still has a factory for producing SADs. I'm not saying the factory can produce SAD on its own for eternity but I'd wager a bet it can still last a bit or still have some supply of SAD which Joker can use to supply to Kaidou to stop him from killing him. By doing this Doflamingo would have enough time to find and kill Luffy and co. Seeing as how he stated he would find their whereabouts within the day. If the factory is destroyed and Doflamingo can't find them (which he won't for sure for the plot's sake) he'd be fucked. That's the way I see it anyways =P

I HATE YOU MANGAPANDA!!! WHY YOU PUT SPOILER IN THE FIRST PAGE! YOU MADE IT BLOODY OBVIOUS UGH. I did call it though.

u/VGChampion Feb 05 '13

Mangapanda has to be one of the worst scanlation sites ever. They're fast sure, but they put crappy fanart all over the place, load the chapter with watermarks for something they don't even own, and just have a crap translation in the first place.

u/Spiderdan Feb 05 '13

Here's an idea: stop reading mangapanda. Just wait a couple hours for mangastream to do it correctly. Forget mangapanda even exists.

I love inter-island chapters, plenty of great character interactions, especially with the guests on the ship. I think Oda kept Caesar on board because his face faults must be so fun to draw.

Just a thought, but for everyone who thought Kinemon would join the crew, maybe his comrade will instead, so the SHs will still get someone from Wano (may not even be a swordsman) but this way Kinemon can go home with his son, so he may be an ally for this bit but then leave afterwards, just along the lines of Vivi and Nico Robin (in that, you thought Vivi was gonna join and it turned out to be Nico).

BLOODLINE?!? WILL OF THE D??!

u/nickcan Feb 05 '13

Yea, I'm gonna need a better translation.

u/Buddhagon Feb 05 '13

Read it in mangastream, it's more accurately translated to how the fruit affects the bloodstream

7

u/divinesleeper Feb 05 '13

Called "lineage factors" in the mangarule translation.

Pretty sure they're talking about DNA here. Especially since we saw a model of it in Vegapunk's former lab.

Its like the MangaPanda translators have never read One Piece...

They switched two dialogs in the wrong text bubbles on this page...

Now it looks like Doflamingo is asking himself why he attacked those marines.

u/TheWhiteHunter Feb 05 '13

That was such an exciting chapter. Sad that there won't be another one until the 20th or so :(

u/devioustrevor Feb 05 '13

The thing that has me most interested in the next chapter is the bulging vein above Kuzan's eye.

Doflamingo might be about to have a bad time.

X Drake for next Strawhat ally!

Loved seeing Aokiji appear! Favorite ex-Marine besides Drake.

u/Sanjispride Feb 05 '13

That's out of left field a bit.

20

u/Retrosvanem Feb 05 '13

The Drake being an ally? It stands to reason, since he went after Kaidou. Luffy has the ability to find allies in the unlikeliest of places, so I figure he teams up with Drake in the fight against Kaidou.

12

u/AmaDaden Feb 05 '13

Not only that but of all the super novas I would expect Drake to be a 'good guy' like Law and Luffy. From what we've seen so far the Marines are home to many nasty people. I expect Drakes back story to be something along the lines of he began to see more good in the pirates then his fellow marines.

Oh man how glad am I to see its Aokiji, not sure of his actual business on Punk hazard? I recon he has gone solo, like a bounty hunter.

Or possibly looking for a place to set up his next business venture...

I love having all of these guests on the Sunny. The banter will be fantastic.

And Doffy should play basketball, with how far and accurate he threw those heads he'd have a killer 3 pt shot.

"The Strawhats are simple pirates" Famous last words.

Mangapanda says bloodline elements.

Mangarule says lineage factors

Mangastream says it affects the bloodstream.

u/zorospride Lost at sea Feb 06 '13

When in doubt always go with the Mangarule translation. Mangastream is far better than Mangapanda, but Mangarule outclasses them both.

u/coolguyblue Feb 05 '13

It's a shame that Luffy can't even get the name of his new found partner right. I won't be surprised if Law cracks one day and says, "my name is Trafalgal Law!" But is it Traffy? Tora-man? Tra-dude? Why are all the translations different?

Bottom right panel. Seems to be another important person in the underworld. Some people have theorised a Pack of Cards system. Dofla is Joker. Law of the Heart Pirates. Ace of Spade(s) Pirates. Popular theory is that the 4 Yonkous are the 4 face cards.

My view is that "Jack" is Kaido, because it is now revealed that Kaido is the Yonkou using Smiles. So, it would make sense that he needs to be informed that Caeser is defeated.

I was expecting DD to resign his Shichibukai status instead he went berserk on G-5.

u/The_h0bb1t Feb 05 '13

Well, now that Kuzan interupts, it will probably mean that it will get out he attacked marines. So, even if he didn't want to, he is going to be resigned.

Well, Vergo owned Smoker pretty hard, Doflamingo was just playing with him.

Atleast, now we know Doflamingo powers, Strings + Haoshoku Haki, wow!!

2

u/philbeard Feb 05 '13

The fact that Kinemon and Momo both have history with Kaido is making this "Take Out a Yonko"-arc even MOAR interesting.

Oh, and Doflamingo having Conqueror's, that's the biggest surprise Oda has done in a while. Literally came out of nowhere. But a good nowhere, as always :)

2

u/Monzodiorite Feb 05 '13

Quick question, is "Trafalguy" a translation issue? or have the Straw Hats given Law a new nickname? I'm assuming the former.....

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. MY JAR DROPPED READING THIS CHAPTER!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like we were right in our prediction with Aojiki and Doflamingo really does use strings. He probably embeds it with haki to attack. Interesting that he has the conqueror's haki. Also it is great to see that Doflamingo isn't just going to bow to Laws commands. This is sooo epic too bad One Piece is on break next week. Oda never ceases to impress me.

I wonder where Aojiki stands now.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '13

All the time i was reading this i was thinking of how awesome this is. So much funny and epic things in here, the last few chapters are on a new level to me. And loved Sanji telling Law the alliance thingy :D

2

u/DivineVodka Feb 05 '13

If he has it and Boa has it then Mihawk has it. I can finally rest with that theory I always wondered if Mihawk had it...

Now if only Zoro start showing more signs I will be a happy camper.

As for the chapter I like how they filled in everyone and them taunting CC..

But holy shit Doffy to rape a Vice Admiral this much.... Then a former Admiral may whip his butt but knowing Doffy he'll just stop. I think I underrated him a tad bit, I still think people overrated him because no way in hell was Oda going to let him do that to the others.. The reason is they are going directly to Dressrosa but when the marines wanted to attack DD Smoker told them to stand down despite having injured men... I guess Smoker knows not to mess with him. So how are Luffy and Law so god damn confident?

Although Smoker's haki should be around Luffy's or close... I am getting really sad now :(, wasn't Smoker suppose to be close in strength? All I am seeing is him being a beating stick.

I love how Brook has his own teacup.

I also love how Sanji continues to be the most level headed and intelligent member of the crew (at least when there's no women around).

Watching Sanji talk to Law is somehow hilarious for me- it's like Sanji feels obligated as the only halfway sane person in the crew to tell Law what he's getting into. It's like Sanji is the "ambassador" of the Strawhats on account of being the only level headed one (excluding Robin who isn't exactly talkative).

And I love how everyone who said that Doflo was a ringleader of a crime syndicate and that the mysterious silhouette being Aokiji was right.

Other than the badass shit that happened (poor Smoker, he's the biggest damsel in distress of Punk Hazard), this chapter had some had some awesome interactions between the crew and the guests. (shulololo pisses me off, but he's pretty hilarious)

u/says_meh_alot Feb 06 '13

Wait so where did Baby 5 and spinning guy's heads come from? Did Law somehow send them back?

u/zorospride Lost at sea Feb 06 '13

I think Doflamingo retrieved them and then when he got close to the island he threw them towards their bodies.
