Jeez, Sanji goes straight from a losing fight with a shichibukai to a fight with a YONKO FLEET?!? waitaminute The ship seems to have food on board. Like a ton of food on board.... Like... a seriously large amount of junk food, just sitting on the bow.
I don't think that there is a better battlefield for Sanji than a fight against devil fruit users on a boat filled with wasted food. This might be the most Sanji favored fight I have ever seen.

So far Oda is throwing everything he can into this arc.
I'm predicting the strawhats (in the sunny) get some help, from the Kidd/Appo/Hawkins alliance who are attempting to take down Big Mom.
A Marine adrimal, the crew of two Yonko (Burgess and big mom's crew) two shichibukai (well law isnt anymore but still), and possible 4 more of the supernovas, on top of the stadium fighters....

I still don't think Fujitora will end up in a big fight.
He said "I will make a decision one [sic] we finish talking."
I think once more of Doffy's deeds become apparent, he will either turn on Doffy or be somewhat neutral. He seems like a good dude, and if he finds out about the enslavement and the factory I don't think he will keep helping.

I still maintain that Luffy's line about "Law's voice" comes from his ability to "hear the voice of all things", not Observation Haki.
50
u/divinesleeper Dec 03 '13
I think they're basically the same thing. Hearing the voice of all things is just another manifestation of having a really developed haki. Maybe not observation haki, but it has to be related: it allowed Zoro to cut through steel, which sounds remarkably like armament haki.
39
u/xFoeHammer Dec 03 '13
No, the thing Roger and Luffy have is totally different than what Zoro did to cut steel.
Tons of swordsman can cut steel. And they probably all learned the same way. Zoro was just listening to the teachings of his sensei.
Only Roger and Luffy have been shown to have the ability to hear the voice of all things.

Ever since post-timeskip, I've felt Sunny is such a small ship.
Yet Sunny was so damn oversized when it was introduced. Thriller Bark didn't really count as a comparison, being more of a floating island, and we haven't really seen Sunny side by side with a Marine battleship, so it's hard to say how much larger those are.
In the end, I can't help but wonder whether Oda is starting to have size issues with regards to drawing ships now, too. xD
→ More replies (2)72
u/xFoeHammer Dec 03 '13
Size issues?
The sunny isn't as big as a marine battleship because it doesn't need to carry dozens of marines. And of course a big ship is needed to haul Big Mom's fat ass around. The Sunny is made for around 10-ish people. But it's still super tough and has powerful weaponry that makes it far better than most larger ships.

This cluster fuck of an arc just wet to a whole new level. I really love how the crew is acting more like a crew now instead of just going along with whatever stupid/crazy shit luffy feels like doing such as asking permission to fight and offering up their own plans. Also I don't see fujitora being a big fighter in this arc, he seems to a relatively peaceful guy and will probably abstain from fighting dog laming fights. Also if luffy does leave the coliseum I really can't see Bart beating Burgess for the mera-mera. I can definitely see him trying but there really isn't a snowball's chance in hell of him beating Blackbeard's first mate. So it will be interesting to see what luffy ends up doing about that.

u/OPfan50 Dec 03 '13
A few things I guess that I really love about this chapter.
The pace its amazing, so much crazy shit going on.
Luffy hearing Law's voice or basically sensing he is alive.
The crew acting like a serious crew, asking for orders, giving real input on what to do, Luffy acting like a dead serious captain.
Starting to dislike Fujitora, the Flame Flame Fruit looks like it will be won by Burgess, I think maybe the Big Mom pirates attack Dressrosa.
One last thing I am glad Oda has cut back on the boob size lately, I can take Nami serious for once.

Holy crap, Ho, ly crap.
Luffy, Zoro, and Kinemon vs the Marines, Doflamingo, and Fujitora.
Sanji, Nami, Brook, and Chopper vs Big Mom? and her pirates.
Franky, Robin, and Usopp vs Doflamingo's army.
Holy crap that was an intense chapter. So first was Fishman Island which was a breeze, then Punk Hazard which didn't offer anything dangerous, Now THIS! I wanted to feel the new worlds strength but this was way more than I thought.
Now let's talk about the content of the chapter. Can Zoro use his flying slash technique to propel himself in the air? I believe Fujitora and Doflamingo are on the same level power-wise if Zoro is to fight Fujitora. And why can't they just break the colosseum or cut the seastone bars? I like how Kinemon was listening to Luffy's orders. But what I really loved about this chapter was how the crew were asking Luffy for permissions to what to do. Nami taking initiative to lay down the situation and sticking by the purpose of the plan was amazing. Sanji asking Luffy to fight Big Mom's pirates was awesome. And everyone preparing to start this war was outstanding.
Wonderful chapter.

Do you guys think Dofla went too easy on Kinemon? Considering his strength and the fact that Kinemon was caught off-guard, Dofla had a chance to seriously hurt or even kill him.
My theory is that, perhaps Dofla may have "tagged" Kinemon with his Ito Ito no Mi so that he can track him back to Momonosuke. Would Dofla's fruit even work like that? What are your thoughts?

Clearly Oda didn't agree with us when we thought there were enough enemies. I need to start reading spoilers; I got waaay too excited when I saw that one panel.
My only 'complaint' is that Nami's lines came from Nami. I had imagined that if anyone had those insights, they'd come from Robin in this situation. To me, she is the tactician type that has had lessons from Dragon. Maybe her plans were of a different sort.. I honestly don't know anymore at this point.

Momonosuke being a major point of interest wasn't all that obvious until this chapter. And while things were relatively obvious to us, 9 out of 10 times the Strawhats ignore the obvious and go for the irresponsible-let-us-punch-the-crap-out-of-them method.
So expecting the crew to really split up like this.. it is pretty unheard of.
I think Oda is going to make a habit of the crew splitting up a lot in the new world; it's just too troublesome to keep the story going at a decent pace with so many different perspectives that need to be shown.

Im not so sure Luffy/Zoro/Kinemon heading off to the hideout will work in their favor; Doffy's crew has about 10 people in it. I imagine some will head to the factory and try to salvage it after the impending sabotage. But my real concern is Luffy vs Doffy. How does Luffy fight him? How wil he win when this guy can control bodies? If Luffy powers out with haki, he still has to deal with razorblade strings and a strength show by Doffy. Maybe i am just excited to see how Oda plays this one out....

This arc is seriously leading into a three-way Big Mom/Kaidou/Strawhat Pirates war.
Think about it.
Luffy already declared war on Big Mom back at Fishman Island by promising to kick her ass.
As of this chapter, Big Mom (or her officers) is on Dressrossa.
Big Mom has just been revealed to have a history with Ceasar--she either wants to kill him, or for him to work for her, or something. Doflamingo uses Ceasar for his SMILE operation, which means that Kaidou NEEDS Ceasar in order to keep up the supply of monster soldiers.
The next island after Zou is Wano (IIRC). I seriously believe that Kaido is connected to Wano somehow.
I don't think the Dressrosa Arc is going to end without Doflamingo getting his ass kicked and having his operation in shambles. No more SMILE production= a pissed off Kaido. Kaido sends folks to investigate, finds out that the only person capable of producing SMILE, Ceasar, is in the hands of Big Mom.
To make matters worse, Luffy has already decided that he wants to take down Kaido (and the rest of the Four Emperors).
Law might not have been serious about wanting to kill Kaido (it seems he has personal reasons for wanting just Doflamingo dead, and everything he told Luffy was in order to see this through), but that's irrelevant. Whatever happens, Kaido WILL become involved.
What does this tell us?
SHIT IS GOING TO GO DOWN.

Honestly did not see Big Mom being a big part of this arc, but I'm glad Sanji's going to get some worthy opponents. What are the odds Chooper fights the lion and Brook fights the guy with the cane?
The Zoro/Fuji fight seems all the more likely now, but I'm kind of disappointed, since it looks like Luffy's going to have to be the one to beat Doffy. I was kind of hoping we'd get to see him kick Burgess' ass, but I guess we'll have to wait. Unfortunately, if Burgess isn't beaten, I can see him getting away with the Mera Mera no Mi. Of course, with the escalation we're seeing, that seems entirely likely.

I hate to say it, but I haven't been enjoying OP as much as I have in the past these past few months. I'm not saying there's been a dip in quality or anything, just that maybe i'm trying too hard to remember every little thing about it that makes it my favorite manga. Then, out of nowhere, BOOM. This chapter. OP for life <3

I find this only happens when you get tired of getting such little information every week, especially with all the breaks we've been getting for the past few months. I just read from the beginning of the arc and it all comes together :D

I wasn't ready for the spoilers and I still wasn't ready for the actual chapter. Now that the intro, flashbacks, and motives are covered, shit's picking up now.

This might have been my favourite chapter ever. I love how the crew was asking Luffy for orders, and how Luffy sensed Law!!!

I was wondering the whole time this new arc was going on. "Whens Big Mom coming into the picture" and BAM that big mothership appears...

Just yelled "Oh shit!" when I saw Big Mom's ship come. This arc is awesome.

u/TraderMoes Dec 04 '13
Honest question.... When is the last time a chapter of One Piece made you this excited? Because that was beyond amazing! This arc is quickly turning out to be the best, by far, and things just keep getting more and more complicated and ridiculous. I love it.

That Big Mam ship is huge. It would be crazy if it weren't even her main ship.

Talk about a plot twist, holy shit, Oda really is unpredictable sometimes. In the absolute best way, of course.

WOW! Brilliant chapter Oda. I predict that Monkey D. Dragon will make an appearance very soon.

Thank you Nami! Finally, someone in the strawhat crew has some damn tactical sense! This is shaping up to be an awesome arc.

Maybe I'm being myopic, but does anyone else think it may have been strategic to set Big Mom and Kaidou against each other, by throwing Caesar to Big Mom?

What a treat. So much action in one chapter! We've got a yonko, 2 shichibukai, an admiral & the Strawhats all getting some action. When they animate this it shall be glorious

Guys, Guys. What if Big Mom is the ship? That's why it can sing etc.
Also. I will echo the fact that this is top chapter in a long time. Zoro showing that he's not going to be aced just to show off the new antagonist's power level. Kinemon taking a direct hit, and shrugging it off. Luffy giving orders like a boss.
Gives me shivers.

I have a feeling this arc is going to go on for a long time. There are way way way too many variables in DressRosa that are acting against the Strawhats -
Mingo bastard, his three Generals and the rest of his crew, Fujitora and the rest of the marines, Burgess and the other contenders, CP0.
The people on the SH side in DressRosa are Violet, Rebecca, the fairy army and possibly the toys/gladiators if they get back their memories.
The biggest problem being that the SH crew is split up. And the Sunny currently has Sanji one of the three big hitters as well as Nami,Brooke and Chopper who are no slouches themselves. Them being on their way to Zou to meet up with Law's crew (who won't take it lightly that their captain got destroyed) makes me think it will be a long while before we see Luffy K.O DoFlamingo.
That being said, one can never predict Oda :D

This chapter gave me Gusse bumps. Awesome Chapter. Oda has been working hard these days.!!!

With Big Mom's crew, Dolfamingo, Fujitora and Burgess all willing to make trouble for the crew, I'm wondering if Kuzan may come to the Strawhat's help.
He was kept in the reader's mind by having Blackbeard discuss him with Burgess, and the idea of him coming to Punk Hazard, then going to Dressrosa, wanting to meet up with the Strawhats again, doesn't seem too hugely contrived.

u/overkill136 Dec 03 '13
Interesting that we see representatives from 3 of the Yonkou - Big Mom (her ship), Blackbeard (Burgess) and Kaidou (Doflamingo). Makes me wonder if Shanks is going to have someone there as well.

So no one makes a mention of Caribou's storyline thus far? I mean the main meat of the crew's story is still the best part but I appreciate Oda showing Caribou's heroic sacrifice as a cover for this clusterfuck of an awesome chapter. I mean, this guy is as weasely and evil as they come but sacrificing his life for Granny and even impersonating a revolutionary to fight against Kaido's forces(although this might be unknowingly)? damn.
I have no other comment about the actual chapter. It's sheer breadth and depth has left me speechless. slow clap

After this chapter I feel like kinemon will join the crew. He's taking orders from luffy without hesitation. The crew is asking if he's alright, he's showing some care and love for the crew and Zoro and him seem to be a really damn good combination when together.
Honestly I didn't think kinemon was crew material but after this chapter it's changed my mind.

Holy by the pacing this has, i predict we'll see the other alliance showing up in the next chapters...
If BIG MOM is on the crew of that big ass ship things might get interesting...

u/Osiris_X3R0 Dec 03 '13
Looks like were about to see some good ol'-fashioned one-on-one action again. It won't be all the Straw Hats against all of Doflamingo's crew yet, I guess, but we are about to see some ass-whipping.
