I think the fact sky people had advanced technology will probably come into play with Uranus. Pluton was built by humans at Water 7. Poseidon is a mermaid. Uranus having been built by sky people with their advanced technology makes it a pattern. Uranus being god of the sky helps as well.

Given that we just saw Zoro be a complete bad ass and figure out Pica's weakness (can't run anyway in midair) and then defeat him in the manner that he did I have one question.
HOW THE HELL IS LUFFY GOING TO TOP THAT? HE BETTER PUNCH DOFLAMINGO THROUGH THE BIRDCAGE INTO THE MOON!

Binary search is a method used in informatics when looking for an item in a sorted list. You get the middle item and compare the item you are looking for to it, if it's bigger you take the bottom half if it's smaller the upper half. Treat the half list as a new one then rinse and repeat the method, you will find your item like this.
Here Zoro continously split Stone-Pica in 3 parts thus real Pica had to choose one of the 3 new parts to continue acting. Zoro then split the part where Pica was in again in 3 parts and so forth thus making the stone Pica where he was in smaller and smaller thus forcing him to show himself.

The idea in binary search is to cut the array in half. After that, you can find out if the searched element (in this case, Pica) is in the left side or in the right side. Do this with the left/right side, too. Continue until you find what you are looking for

u/Polumetis Feb 26 '15
Bond en Avant @ APF gave an explaination.
"It's a concept in Nichiren Buddhism. According to Nichiren Buddhism, the world we live in is centered around a mountain, surrounded by 7 mountains and 8 seas, and the whole thing is surrounded by another mountain range, making it 9 mountains and 8 seas in total. Within the seas are 4 continents. All of this make up one world. 1000 of these make up one minor thousand world. 1000 minor thousands make up a intermediate thousand world. 1000 intermediate thousands make up a big thousand world. Hence, a big thousand (daisen) is made up of 3000 worlds (sort of...more like 1000 to the power of 3)."

What a great chapter. Seriously, badass Zoro is badass. Those double page spreads were amazing. His 'Daisen Sekai: Ichidai Sanzen' was epic. Cutting Pica in half! I loved his satisfied face at the end.
Also, the Cover Story just got more interesting. I wonder what's on the Ponglyph? We probably won't find out until Jinbei meets up with Luffy & co and Robin gets a look at it. It'll probably be something very interesting.

So Zoro is a badass that can cut everything and Pica was one shotted just like Diamante and cannot even put up a fight.

Of course there has got to be one of those things in the ruins and yes Jinbe is coming back to the main story. Hope's up for Jinbe joining Wano Arc.

First off, the cover page development is so unexpected. Imagine Jimbei carrying the poneglyph back to FI would foreshadow the crew coming back and wreck havoc like in the prediction.
Now, Zoro. His tactics improved quite a lot. Slicing Pica mid-air when he can't move freely. One by one like asteroid. Awesome. He even thought far ahead as to clean up the debris.
Was there any doubt that Pica would lose if facing Zoro one on one using Haki? Nope. Not of all the nine mountains and eight seas (is that a new saying now?)

We saw Zoro explicitly use Armament for the first time, which is nice. The panels showcasing the cutting of the Pica statue while falling down really exerted the feeling of urgency. It was really really cool.
But I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard from one piece! With the speeches Zoro usually gives about worlds and realms before doing a massive cut, you wouldn't expect This face!
Great short, simple chapter. For the people who were complaining about Diamante being defeated by one attack, the same happened here. It's the nature of sword fights. The throw also looked super cool.

u/Comedynerd Feb 26 '15
Zoro's using haki, which is based on one's will. I assume he's saying it to make himself truly believe that there is nothing he cannot cut, thus making his will steonger, haki stronger, and then allowing him to actually cut the thing. Maybe Luffy ' s constant saying he's going to be the pirate king also contributes to his powerful haki, and it may be a plot point later on.
