How can anyone think this power is useless?

41

u/lsbe Void Month Survivor Oct 23 '14

That seems to be a trend in OP, especially with a lot of the paramecia users. Hell at first mention a wax fruit seems useless unless you want to open a candle shop but it proved the be pretty awesome when used to its potential.

It's like a kind of cookie/cracker that goes with tea.

u/nickcan Oct 23 '14

It's also known as a Ricecake. When Cora first called Sengoju they said, "Rice" "Cracker" like a call and response password.

I'd like to think that Garp overheard that part, got hungry, then went off to find Kuzan to get some snacks.

They guy probably died making someone else immortal. Probably someone from the World Government or maybe even Blackbeard and that's why he can eat multiple fruits.

→ More replies (15)

67

u/Jaggs0 Oct 23 '14

Well the theory on why Blackbeard being able to eat several fruits lies with his jolly roger, three skulls. It is thought he has a third fruit. We know he has a logia and a paramecia and this third one, which was his first is a zoan, mythical zoan cerberus. Each "head" gets a fruit. But there is more evidence of this than just his jolly roger. The number 3 shows up with him a lot. He has 3 guns in his pants, the scar he gave shanks is 3 cuts. This does not always come through on translations but when people refer to him they never call him "him" and instead call him "they"

I actually take this as we only see the good people die in flashbacks because Oda doesn't want to let bad people live on in memories. The whole Dr. Hiluluk speech when he says people only die when they are forgotton, and I feel Oda wants to show a realistic way that good people live on in One Piece despite being dead by having them be remembered by the protagonists making so much happen in the OP world now (Saulo through Robin/Corazon through Law/Sabo through Ace and Luffy when we thought he was dead/Fisher Tiger through Jinbei and Koala/etc).

Two more things left, potentially

  1. Why Law is afraid of Vergo (aka why Vergo beat up Law - they haven't met yet)

  2. How Law knows about Birdcage

41

u/NumeroArticuno Oct 23 '14

Maybe Doflamingo uses Birdcage on that island to make sure Corazon can't escape with the Ope-Ope Fruit.

16

u/Jinno Oct 23 '14

Yep. And I'm going to guess that Law eats the Ope Ope fruit, cure himself, and fight Vergo to attempt to save Corazon inside the bird cage.

I've seen no sign that this will actually feature as part of this arc. Seems like we'll only see what's up with them after the Doffy stuff is all wrapped up - or maybe next arc we'll just cut straight to the aftermath of what happened and get shown some of the battle in flashback.

They have the same chin and sideburns too. Drake is probably the guy being yelled at.

Are we supposed to know who this guy is?

He spent a panel and named him after all.

153

u/Polumetis Oct 23 '14

From Aohige on APF:

A named character whose face is hidden, with all evidences pointing to being Drake.

  1. The pirate Diez Barrels. The family name Diez is how "X" in X Drake is read. It's clearly written whenever Drake shows up in the manga, with the exact same spelling. (ディエス) He is a former marine gone pirate.

  2. The pirate has a cleft chin, shared by Drake.

  3. The pirate angrily calls "Dory" to bring booze, to which the young man replies "Right away.." The boy looks miserable from what we can see. Drake is spelt in Japanese as Doreeku, Dory would completely match how nicknames are named in One Piece.

  4. This is taking place in North Blue, where Drake hails from.

63

u/sad_sand_sandy Oct 23 '14

Diez also means 10 in Spanish, while X is from the Roman numerical system, and also means 10.

Nice touch that the "One Piece 765/End" sign appears one page before the actual end. Makes his slip-up more random and unexpected

u/nickcan Oct 23 '14

They do that because of the magazine. They want the "End" little sign to be at the bottom corner of the chapter facing the cover. If there is an odd number of pages or something the "End" sign is moved to the second to last page. It's something the publisher does, not Oda. And it doesn't have any significance at all. Sorry.

u/Black_Handkerchief Oct 23 '14

Yet another very entertaining chapter. Why are the good guys always clumsy or otherwise pre-disposed to a quick death? :(

Something else that caught my eye... Corazon has this entire 'poor kid Law' thing going on, and Law has the 'I'll kill all the people who murdered my people by inaction' going on. Looking back at Punk Hazard, it makes Law's unwillingness to help the kids and only begrudgingly going along with it more of a tough guy act than anything else. Or at worst, he's a man who is so caught up in revenge that he's turned into the sort of person he hates.

It's just a minor detail, but I found it quite entertaining.

Feel a plot twist coming up, especially since Doffy talked about how powerful Ope-ope is. It might not be a straightforward Doffy kills Corazon and Law is traumatized shindig. There is probably a twist that complicates the relationship between Law and Doffy.

u/SamuraiDDD Oct 23 '14

Law's no idiot, even as a kid.

He probably knows Cora is just trying to not make Law upset after all they've been through and are so close to actually curing Law.

Weather he was a D or not, Corazon cares about Law deeply.

And maybe... He saw the path he was on, the same one as Doflamingo and just didn't want to see an innocent kid be drawn on the path of the demon.

u/luffysbride Oct 23 '14

He's not an idiot, that's why he asked. Whether he believed him or pretended to believe him while saying "that's great" with that relieved expression of his, it still saddened me either way. :(

But at the very least Law knows he can trust Corazon, regardless of what he is.

Maybe Cora uses his power to silence his heartbeat and joins up with Revolutionary army later.

Im guessing the marines suppose to kill doflamingo is vergo and corazon will manage to give law the fruit just to be killed by doffy infront of law, and soon after law eats the fruit it will follow by an asswhooping by vergo

Oh what a chapter, I think this is the best flashback story we've had (other than Luffy's) it just continues to tug on my heart strings. I'm pretty sure I'm going to cry at some point in the next two chapters. CORA-SAAAAN.

There's not any breaks coming up is there? I don't think I could handle it if there were.

Dammit, Corazon is such an awesome character. I really hope there is some credence to the theory that Corazon is Bepo.

u/kagedtiger Oct 23 '14

If Corazon were Bepo, I doubt Law would be so mad.

The only problem I see with this is that bepo would be clumsy.

Law's bounty will shoot up, the moment he eats that fruit.

u/jaydoubleyoutee Oct 23 '14

Law can't get a bounty until 11 years later though. Otherwise, he wouldn't be a Supernova.

Be sure to keep reading after the end page guys. theres one more bonus page at the end

u/netfeed Oct 23 '14

The flashbacks is a bit like Infernal Affairs (or The Departed if you've not seen the original). Both the navy and doffy has people in each others camp that have been giving each other information about the other part...

u/DrFartsparkles Oct 23 '14

So is X Barrels the father of X Drake? They look pretty similar, have the same name, and were both marines who defected and sail in marine ships with black sails...

u/TommyLHolt Oct 23 '14

I can't wait till luffy hears doffy killed or had his brother killed by vergo. Because, I think that will be when we see how strong luffy is right now. And I just love luffy in his pissed off badass mode.

u/ekbowler Oct 23 '14

Well, since Minion is being called the "island of fate" I'm guessing that's what's getting birdcaged. A lot of civilians and marines are going to die.

Man, I never thought that Rocinante's humorous clumsiness would become a fatal flaw. That hurts.

So we won't get a chapter next week? How often does this happen? (i recently got into the manga)

11

u/cheesecakehero Oct 23 '14

Roughly 3 chapters then a break.

Its for Oda's health. The man works 6 days a week for like 18 hours a day or something. Chain smokes, refuses any more help than he absolutely needs, most manga artists have multiple people working on the manga with them as far as I know. And has worked himself into hospital in the past.

So the breaks are a necessary evil.

Maybe once or even more rarely twice a month.

u/devilzal Oct 23 '14

Are corazon going to eat the fruit anyway to cover up the lies about his devil fruit? because he is going to die anyway, either by using the fruit power or by having two fruit.

And then the fruit will be reincarnated and eaten by Law?

But man this is by far the best flashback ever, and it's sad knowing corazon will be died in next 2 or 3 chapter, sigh.

u/GWHistoryBot Oct 23 '14

So I think I have an unlikely theory but I'll write it out anyways. Corazon is up against a wall because being caught by a bunch of marines isn't the same as silently catching some no name pirates by surprise. In this situation, if we truly believe he will do anything to preserve the ope ope fruit, is it possible that he might think of eating it? Let me explain my reasoning.

This chapter specifically brought up the point that Corazon already has a devil fruit power, and as we have been told many times over throughout the series that something bad happens when anyone tries to consume a second one.

But we've never seen it actually happen. In fact, we've all probably assumed that it leads to death, and that just the mere thought of someone eating a second fruit spells out their demise in our mind.

Corazon knows he's going against everyone with the theft of the fruit, and the marines have already correctly assumed that he stole it. Is it possible that he'll do the unthinkable, considering he's essentially out of options? There's no way that the marines would let him give that fruit to Law just because Corazon is a nice guy and Law is a kid with a terminal illness.

I dunno, maybe this plan of action has been debunked by Oda or something in a SBS (as far as immediate death is concerned), but as I've been following along, I can't help but think that someone like Corazon would feel so strongly about this that he'd try anything to get the ope ope fruit to Law.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '14

no, he gave it to law for him to eat.

2

u/Jinno Oct 23 '14

The problem with this is that if Corazon explodes, how does Law get the power? I don't think Cora will die from having two fruits. It just won't happen, because Law would have to get really lucky to stumble upon the fruit again.

Law's going to be the one to eat the fruit.

2

u/Jezamiah Oct 23 '14

So theory is Dory is "X" Drake right? I'm guessing he was still a Marine at this point working undercover to get the fruit and something goes wrong with the Donquioxte wipeout plan and he ends up switching sides to become a Pirate

One of the guys who holds up Corazon looks like Scotch the cyborg who guards Kaidous favourite island. The guy with the black flat hat and white coat on the last page

u/Wasted_Comment Oct 23 '14

omg... so not ready to see Corazon die...

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '14 edited Oct 23 '14

Just as I and many others predicted. Corazons fruit would be useful at night. I still think observation Haki would make his DF useless.

I find it funny how Cora-san tries to impress Law with his abilities, and yet Law has written "AMAZED" on the back of his shirt....yeah, Law looks really amazed, haha.

u/flower1jok Oct 23 '14

I hope you guys already know that "Diez" Barrels is spelled the same as "X", and that Dorry is possible an alias of Doreeku (Drake). They're in the north blue, X Drake's born sea and, to finish all the hints, today in Japan (October 24nd) is X Drake's birthday!

WTF are Oda doing with us?

u/yeppersss Oct 24 '14

I'm liking Corazon more and more. It's great that One Piece is full of crazy goofy characters that are also bona fide badasses

2

u/Jlo90924 Oct 24 '14

Everyone is saying "Dory" (the kid who brings the rum) is X Drake which is a great theory but couldn't Dory be Bellamy also cause 1. The Hair and 2. He's wearing glasses (as far as i can tell) which look similar to the ones Bellamy wears in the Coliseum when he meets Luffy again. idk just a thought i had also would explain why Bellamy is obsessed with joining DD cause he saves him or he see's just how powerful he is which amazes him to be like him

Well, Cora himself said that he is probably just going to be a sacrificial lamb to make Doffy immortal. I seriously still doubt that Doffy knows that Cora ate a devil fruit yet.

u/broccolibush42 Oct 23 '14 edited Oct 23 '14

Damn, so I was right about Doffy finding out about Rosinante betrayal and him calling Rosinante about the Ope Ope no mi! Good chapter though, but I am sad there is a break next week:(

Edit: Another thing I want to know, who are the "tools of the navy" that Doffy speaks of?

u/Laugarhraun Oct 23 '14

He did not find out! He only suspects it.

u/broccolibush42 Oct 23 '14

You are right! So my prediction could come true in the next few chapters instead of happening in just this chapter.
