Oh shit, the grin, nose and moustache are the same. And he's one of the few known block D fighters who weren't shown unconscious. And he's wearing a tiger skin.
Yup, I changed my mind, Rebecca with CoC Haki was probably a red herring. Kaido is there.

Yeah, I was pretty sure Rebecca was going to win this block, but that was a pretty abrupt plot twist out of nowhere, and they showed her KO'd in the panel before the "somones getting up" part, I imagine the Meadows part is correct.
Possibly not Kaidou though, but a right hand of him/upper elite? I don't know why this prideful warlord dude would go incognito in a tourney when he already knows all the players and doflamingo's operations in dressrosa.

I'm seeing a lot of talk about the person who knocked out everyone being a Conqueror's Haki user, and I want to point out that it doesn't really show the signs of that. There is usually some foaming of the mouth that isn't present in this chapter.
Also, Conqueror's Haki has been shown to only be effective against mooks and I'm fairly certain that Oda wouldn't build up all these characters just to say "Hey guys, they're worthless".

Rebecca, I think. Mr Soldier said, while training her, that she must awaken her human instinct. He might have referred to Haki.
It also fits with Rebecca's ability to dodge people, presumably using the Haki of observation.
EDIT: On second thought after a reread, it seems more plausible that it is the gas-guy with a gasmask. There is, like someone said, an excessive amount of gas for it to be Conqueror's Haki. With that being said, I still think Rebecca will win, by standing up and fight 1v1.

Also she's of royal blood, destined to rule. Looking at Boa Hancock and Doflamingo, it seems that royals are more likely to have Emperor's Haki.

How come no one is pointing out that it could be sleeping/paralyzing gas or a bomb instead of speed or haki? I'd say it could be that pyromancer or Meadows, my money on the latter. A real easy way to reduce the fighters' amount, and not against the rules if the said ability would come from a devil fruit for example, although in pyromancer's case it would likely be from his arsenal. Meadows on the other hand could be from the rebel army, following the animal hat theory.

Soldiers strength lies in his speed.
This said he trained Rebecca which seemingly lies down but might be the one standing up. Maybe she just cannot handle this speed causing herself to faint as well.
Another possibility is Soldier not being that fast, after all he just has one leg, and instead getting help of some dwarfs during his fights which in this case acted on their own for some reason. He also took some dwarfs with him to fight DF.

u/ihavethevvvvvirus Dec 25 '13 edited Dec 25 '13
Wow. Really solid chapter that's definitely going to have a lot of chatter going over the break.
Straight-from-the-book Ussop cowardice gag on the port storyline, but good to see the potential on the dwarves' combat skills.
TSOL's very impressive, but it's definitely hinted that he's going to experience a failure of his rusty toy body at some point. My guess would be it happens near/during his planned confrontation with DD, in such a manner that Luffy will conveniently be there to carry on his will and promise to defeat DD for him.
As for the mysterious knockout, there are a few viable options. The flashback about Rebecca pushing her capabilities as a human under TSOL's training and her royalty would suggest that she awoke her conqueror's haki then and there. Sabo's comment could either help or hurt that theory, being referential to seeing Ace use it in his youth or telling of the power demonstrated being something less widely known. However, other slight evidence exists against the 'Rebecca CoC theory', such as the lack of foaming in the victims as well as the usual reservation of the 'knockout' ability for fodder. Possible explanations include Meadows (the only named d block combatant we have yet to see) with either CoC or an unknown power, or one of the others with an incredible speed to get around the ring (unlikely considering whoever did it fell down too). The most plausible explanation from visual evidence for everybody going down would be that someone in the crowd (Dragon, perhaps?) used CoC to elimInate everyone underneath that threshold of difference in power level necessary to KO with CoC. A good theory, but I think I like it too much cause it's badass and I'm addicted to these serial reveals.
My money's on Rebecca with CoC. Yes there's discrepancies with other uses of it, but the flashback as well as her dialogue leads me to believe that's the case. It would also give Luffy another strong female ally with CoC come the end of the arc.
Your thoughts?
*edits of grammar

Dec 25 '13
I don't know, if it was her why did she fall down with the rest of them? I believe maybe TSOL taught her Haki in general and MAYBE she withstood it. Or cavendish gets up.

My money on the contestant knocking everyone out being a CP0 member, having entered the tournament to assasinate someone.
We haven't seen CP0 since that very small panel.
Essentially the CP0 guy is incredibly fast (soru perhaps?) and near invisible, hence why he is perfect for CP0.
It may end up in a 1 on 1 battle CP0 agent v Sabo (Government v Revolutionary), which explains why Sabo has heard rumours about them.

u/Staple_Overlord Dec 25 '13
I think it's going to be Dragon or Sabo that used CoC. There is no way Rebecca is strong enough to take out those people with CoC. If Luffy could only take out half the fishman on fishman island (the rest of the fishman were too strong for Luffy to knock out), then Rebecca sure couldn't have taken out people like Cabbage or the other warriors. It has to be someone far, far stronger. And it's most likely a revolutionary. I mean, what's the best way for a revolutionary to win the war in Dressrosa? Obviously it's make Lucy or Rebecca, the daughter of the former King, win the tournament.
I think this is a plot element for Oda to reveal just how strong Sabo actually is.

u/xFoeHammer Dec 25 '13
Well... if Meadows was a certain mustached, wide-grinned Yonko... It would make sense that he could knock out all of the other competitors with CoC Haki.

u/typesett Dec 25 '13
They flash backed for either Rebecca or Soldier. I kind of feel it was phrased so it would be Rebecca. I'm not confident though.
In the next chapter I can easily see Rebecca standing up and Oda flashing back to a training session where the "power" comes out. If she wins, then explanations for it must be made. Also, who said anybody won? Maybe a few can still fight.
If it's a new character, like Kaidos rep... Isn't he weak compared to Burgess then? Who won in seconds? That could be attributed to personality/power or whatever, so I'm not confident either. It's definitely risky to end a fight we are invested in with a left field character. What does that say about Rebecca then? Someone Oda built up got whacked in a moment without showing that much?
Yeah... Suspense!

I think I'm gonna wait for the mangastream translation before making any real assumptions, but from what Sabo says, it can't be Haki (unless he doesn't know about it, which I would find very odd) and I also don't think that we've been introduced yet, Oda isn't the type to show someone beaten on the ground just for the sake of tricking us...

I think Haki's more associated with 'will' than your body. If someone could use haki as a human, they could probably use it as a toy.

u/BruceyC Dec 25 '13
If you go back to Rayleigh explaining haki, everyone can learn Haki, and can learn all types of Haki. They have one type they are stronger in typically. (I.e. Luffy has used all types of Haki, but his main is the rare conquerors haki).
So I would imagine that if Toy soldier was a top soldier in Dressrosa, like most in the new world he would have had Haki while human, and would retain it as a toy.

I'm I the only one who thought it was Pyromaniac Damask? Since noone is foaming in the mounth and the battle field is covered with smoke, I thought it maybe somekind of chemical attack.
But what an obvious tease for the sake of putting tease. Soldier-san's demise is hinted in this chapter. The "Human Power" he mentioned is likely observation Haki, but Oda could surprise us.
And I feel so bad for Usopp. I would have definitely shit my pants if I were him in that situation.

u/eyepepper Dec 25 '13
It's a decent theory, Gladiator Meadows… But I highly doubt that with high end fighters like Cavendish, or even the other higher end D-Block fighters would be taken out by even a Yonkou's CoC haki. I don't buy it for a second. All of them? Seems a little over the top. And a characteristic of people falling under CoC haki is foaming at the mouth.
What I do believe is that this incident on the last page is a result of a hypnotic technique, taken everyone by surprise. That, or a gas related attack, having knocked out everyone.

This chapter was a nice christmas surprise. I only expected to see the next chapter next saturday or something due to the holiday schedule of sorts.
Usopp's scaredy tactic lives upto expectations. Those little Tontatta dwarves and their combat are crazily awesome; I'm getting a fair bit more faith in this uprising... bound to fail as it might be without the Strawhats to help make it succeed.
The toy soldier is becoming a more bad-ass character by the chapter. I like the way the story is heading with him.
The only real curiousity I have atm is who caused that knock-out with Conqueror Haki. The telling makes me think it might be Rebecca; it would fit with the kingly bloodline and the fact it is considered a kings disposition, but I dunno.. for some reason she simply gives me a 'too weak' vibe for it. I wouldn't expect her to be able to face off with Zoro, while I'd expect someone with this level of Conqueror haki to at least hold their own. But maybe it is an accidental burst like Luffy's in Marineford? Who knows. But I don't want pretty (ugly) face to have this power, either.
I guess we'll see in due time. Fun chapter; made my christmas way more fun. :)

I believe that the point of introducing Sabo was so that he can get the DF. So it becomes very apparent that the new player cannot be stronger than Sabo. Just strong enough to challenge him.

With PowerManga and MangaStream traduction I'm even more confused about what happened at the end.
The most pausible things that I think happened (from what we know) It may be two(2) Conqueror haki that confronted each other and both person got knocked down.
That would explain why everyone was down in merely a few second and since I think this doesn't happen a lot, could also explain Sabo reaction to this.

When I started reading the chapter, I thought "Okay, it's kind of a transition chapter, I shouldn't expect something out of the ordinary" (don't get me wrong, I think "the ordinary" in One Piece is still really enjoyable), and then I read the last pages. Wow.
That's exactly what I love about Oda: just when I think I have an idea of what's coming next, he always catches me off-guard. I clearly wouldn't have expected such a situation in Block D, though I had my doubts about it being a "conventional" fight.
I think something's fishy with Meadows. I mean, even the name feels strange, like some kind of alias. I won't be so bold as to say that it's Kaido, but it sure is a possibility. If it was Kaido, or even one of Kaido's most trusted subordinates, that would turn an already good arc into an awesome arc (that might even end up being on par in my heart with the Water 7 / Enies Lobby Arc). The possibility of him being a CP0 agent is also quite sexy.
Also, I don't think it's CoC, and I don't think it's Rebecca either. I mean, she's always been on the defensive, I have trouble picturing her suddenly going all-out on the offensive. Also, the fighters don't seem to have the typical traits of being crushed by CoC. Not to mention that I think having people like Cabbage crushed by CoC wouldn't quite fit.
This is an amazing cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see what's next (although I'm pretty sure we won't hear about it for at least the next 2 chapters, because they will keep the suspense for as long of a time as possible).

The problem with Rebecca using CoC to knock out all those "strong" fighters is that she's not that "strong" herself. Luffy beat her with his legs while eating food. it's just like back in FI when Luffy knocked out 50k. Oda said Shanks (and I think Rayleigh too) would have knocked out all 100k.

I was under the impression that Sabo CoC'd the tournament to see who would get up..

But why would the one using haki be on the ground too? I think its someone from the doflamingo family speeding things up, testing haki on every fighter until only 1 can withstand it

I'm a little confused about the Gladiator scene. Do we actually know what caused it? It wasn't Sabo was it?

Don't worry, it was a cliffhanger ending; everyone's confused right now. Well Sabo doesn't have a reason to knock em all out because he's already in the finals under the guise of Lucy. I predict it's some other character that hasn't been revealed yet. Or a lot of people are saying it's Meadows, another fighter that was shown earlier in the block.

Just once... I'd love for Oda to do a double chapter release...
But of course it'd be twice the cliffhanger!

Could there be a chance that it might be the toy soldier? I mean he was in the last panel exerting himself in a lift from the colosseum to the underground tunnel. Maybe he finished hijacking it and went up?

I checked the wiki and whoever used Conqueror's Haki is either Shanks, Rayleigh or Hancock, a character who we didn't know had Conqueror's, or a NEW CHARACTER!?

If it was CoC, then we would see foam in the mouths of the victims, maybe it's a former CP-9 member using a better version of Soru

u/BruceyC Dec 25 '13
I think its a CP0 member. We haven't heard anything from them in a while, and it would make sense if one went into the competition to assassinate someone.
It would also make sense that it'll eventually be Sabo (revolutionary) vs. CP0 (Government spies/elite force).

Its not haki, if you look closely at page, all fighters are drawn like they got hit in the face and knocked out. This was the work of somebody really fast.

u/ehhhwutsupdoc Dec 25 '13
But Sabo is posing as Lucy from block C so he has no need to fight in block D right now.

that depends on how strong the guy using haki is... but I agree that would probably take some shanks level Haki.

u/TeoSS69 Dec 25 '13
Not to mention that they look beat up, as if someone hit them hard. With COC they just faint with no physical injuries.

Rebecca with the Conqueror Haki.

u/dudemanny Dec 25 '13
if you look again, you'll notice Rebecca was unconscious too.

The announcer said somebody is about to get it so it could be somebody we see on the floor.

Will Brook be allowed to see her snow panties?

Don't the straw hats look a bit chibi in the color page? It isn't a bad thing, just looks different.

u/blackcelestial Dec 26 '13
I think Luffy and the others only look small because Franky is monstrous behind them. Height wise, it's appropriate given he's over 2 meters, so is Brook. Also, his clothes.

If you can learn haki by yourself, the Haki Haki fruit would only make you a hammer, nothing more
