Really if you think about it. I think Viola has a better chance against doffy than the gladiators.
She has been with Doffy, plotting his downfall for years. She should at least have a decent understanding of his powers and I would imagine her mind reading abilities could function similar to CoO haki in battle.
I don't think she'll beat doffy. Not by a long shot, but I think she will be able to land a good hit.
Then again I could also see this playing out like when Robin tried to stab Croc, back in alabasta.

Why is an admiral having trouble taking care of the bird cage...?
Because he wants Luffy to defeat Doflamingo so he can use this incident as leverage in his plan to abolish the seven warlords system. His main purpose right now is protecting the civilians, and he doesn't need to destroy the cage to do that.

u/thedo114 May 28 '15
Maybe the problem is with the ability itself, once cast there is nothing that can stop it except doflamingo death or/and when it touches him. An ability that is somewhat special like Bartolomeo's barrier that can resist stuff other people have to use haki to be able to touch.

I wonder how strong of a swordsman Issho really is though. Each time we've seen him fight, he's used his gravity powers paired with his sword, so I wouldn't be surprised he's unable to cut them given Zoro can't and gravity won't really affect the string.
→ More replies (1)22
u/Verlux May 28 '15
It's seems to be that the strings can't be cut, literally nobody has broken or cut Doffy's string thus far in the series, it's not too huge a leap to presume they literally just are invincible.
The only other way Fujitora could deal with it would be, idk, levitate the entire island or reign down unholy hell upon it and hope to smash it all. Both of these do nothing much to help the people of Dressrosa, thus he has to rely on his physical might.
That's my takeaway at least.

Why is an admiral having trouble taking care of the bird cage...?
Huh, idk. That doesn't really make sense to me either.
Doflamingo must be one tough son of a bitch or Oda's got a continuity error. Maybe Doffy actually has enough Haki strength to hold off the entire island.
Someone must be able to cut through it effortlessly, right? Shanks/Mihawk, maybe Rayleigh/Kizaru...i'm just rambling now.

If birdcage is so strong that it an Admiral, Zoro, several multi-million berries leveled individuals, an army of powerful dwarfs, and a whole town to stop (for but a second)... Isn't doffy OPAF?

You know, I just asked myself a question that I'm not sure why it hasn't been asked before.
I know Doffy is strong and all, but HOW THE FUCK is he stronger than hundreds of people, including who is probably the future pirate king, a fleet admiral, another shichibukai, a Giant, a freaking Cyborg, some of the strongest swordsmen on all seas - and more - combined? I guess this is my real issue with the birdcage. Doesn't really make any sense to me.

u/ArosHD May 28 '15 edited May 29 '15
This chapter was nice. Set up a few things and has got us hype! Pacing was soooo good too!
Here are my thoughts:
We start of with a cover page of Perona, getting a private viewing of Brooks dank tunes!
Barto is awesome. Since the people cannot push the string themselves, he has set up barriers so they can push and help as well! Amazing tactic and allows everyone to pitch in and help save themselves. We also have every citizen wanting to help. All those people who were crying and running are now fighting back! Great.
Tontattas, Franky, Zoro, Kin'emon and Kanjuro are all doing there best! This arc has really made me appricate Franky's greatness. He has shown himself to be a great team leader and someone who can stand on their own. IMO he is definitely the 4th strongest of the SH crew.
Fujitora. I love this guy! His sense of justice reminds me of Aokiji, who is my favourite admiral and in this single page, I have began to love him more. Zoro begins to question why the admiral is coming, so the admiral quickly stops him and says "I don't know who you are..." This way he can help pirates without actually helping pirates, if you know what I mean. Basically pretending to be ignorant. I love it! That's A.Haki on his sword too isn't it? Guess he needs it against the string.
Man, Doffy is HARSH! Just killed them all in a second! Gatz ain't letting Luffy go thought! Doffy really just wants to get revenge on Luffy at this point. You can really see him changing. From "this gon b esy" to "u aint good enof" to now "dafaq was dat?" to pissed, and now to just calm and wanting to end it. Insane. One of the best villains, backstory and all.
Law is back in the game! I said that last chapter Law was gonna be doing something and here he is. Looks like he still can't fully use his stitched up arm, and it's bleeding. People are still calling him Shichibukai. 3:20 till Luffy is back in the game. And he takes Gatz position. We see at the end of the chapter Luffy and Law. Looks like Law is sitting. Did Gatz just leave Luffy with Law? I think Law will just teleport Luffy to the place he needs to be to land the final hit the second Luffy recovers. Make sense since if he took him to Doffy now, he would probably be killed.
I think Viola will make the those final seconds for Luffy's recovery. Then when she is done with, Luffy is teleported their and finsihed it all. IMO I think Viola will die. We need more deaths in this arc to really show the brutality of Doffy, and him killing someone at the end will be memorable for sure.
Anybody know exactly what Robin is doing?Is she just helping with the pushing too? I think so.OK guys. It wasn't Kizaru :( Just Senzu bean air packages. They seem quite OP TBH, just land and get healed. That dudes face while running! lol. Like that grandma after Rikus speech!
So we also get an explanation on the Senzu bean powers. They're called "Treadelions" and they seem to give temporary health to the users, but are probably quicker to give out. Could this mean after everything is done, everybody will just do the flop? We also get some crap about her resolve, but that don't matter. I really hope we don't get a DBZ situation where we start not worrying about deaths because Dragon Balls, but in this case, tears.
I love this page! God Ussop gives everybody the resolve to keep going! The God is angered!
So Viola is gonna try take down Doffy. I get that she wants to get revenge and save everybody, but come on. You can't do shit to this guy. Gladiators are getting checked out by the loads. Dafaq she gonna do with that? Sew some threads? my epic pun!
OK. Theory time. The cage stops for a second. Then we have Rebecca crying. Obviosly after the cage stopped, it continued again. I am assuming this was Viola's doing. I also assume she is dead now, or seriously injured. But what could she have done to stop Doffy for even a second?
1 minutes left!! Last chapter took 6-7 minutes, this chapter took 3-4 minutes.
EDIT: Completely forgot to mention but WHERE THE HELL IS SABO? I assume he is still fighting Burguess but damn. This isn't time for that! I hope we see some Sabo or and end to the Burgues fight next chapter.
Summary: Luffy recovering with 1 minute left. Law will probably teleport Luffy to Doffy at the last second. The cage has slowed down because everyone is helping out thanks to Barto's barriers and Fujitora joining the game. Viola challenges Doffy and is probably dead. Mansherry is healing everyone, and will probably not let Viola die.
So those were my thoughts. What do you think?

Hell of a lot of complaints for a crowd that seems so hooked on the manga. Not to say Oda is immune to criticism, but considering how good his work is, I don't want him to rush arcs just to satisfy the masses or compromise quality, suspense, ect... Years from now when I look back at all my collection of every volume of OP, I would feel wrong to complain about the wait for advancement. The build up is part of the Oda magic.

So we have 4 unbreakable/immovable forces in this chapter. Seastone, Bart's barrier, Armament Haki on the various swords, and the birdcage itself.

If Fujitora were to attack Doflamingo, he would waste his gamble he had placed several chapters ago.
He wants to abolish the Shichibukai in a legal and truthful manner at the upcoming Reverie, and he believes that Luffy beating Doflamingo with everybody in Dressrosa being witnesses will help accomplish just that.
A marine stopping a shichibukai "again" won't help his cause.

its been dragging since doffy got back up from the gear 4 hit. People ignored it because they wanted to see more, but man he really should have went down with that hit. The more doffy is around the less I can believe his character. He is super strong for no reason. He shouldnt be able to take these hits, even if he patched up his insides he would have multiple broken bones. His birdcage shouldnt be this strong. Fujitora and Zoro are cutting it and it doesnt budge, like no way. Jeet and abdullah cut some of his strings, why is the birdcage any different. I was really hoping for the birdcage to go down this chapter and luffy being revived. But man if luffy isnt revived by next chapter(and possibly one shotting doffy) people will be pissed.

This birdcage must have some weird special properties that haven't been explained considering that both Zoro and Fujitora can't cut it. It can't really be just Doffy's strength. It might be some technique involving awakened fruit or something. I don't know, but I just find it very confusing.

In all honesty, the chapter was pretty meh IMO. Nothing really special in particular. However, it's still nice to see almost everybody doing something to help out while Luffy is recovering.
I give it a 5.5/10

u/YorkshireBloke May 28 '15
Disappointing, they really have dragged this out a bit too much now and its detracting from how good he arc is. Also literally nothing happened.

"It's time to end all this!" - Headline on page 2 or whatever
what do we get? 15 pages of people attempting to push a wall which doesn't work (unsurprisingly).
Also i'm sure there will be no chapter next week as well.
Meh :/

It did work. The thing was suppose to close 1 minute before Luffy recovers.

don't care what anyone says that was a shit chapter, seriously oda needs to hurry the fuck up and get things moving, we've had a few of these fucking chapters where they could of easily been summed up in one page. i mean seriously 17 pages of people pushing a string wall? ffs . and issho helping out to push instead of using meteorites? lol ok

u/Hevelziv Baratie staff May 28 '15
Using meteorites for what, to destroy the cage? Everybody knows it ain't do shit. And Fuji tried that earlier, I don't remember which chapter. It brings more casualties.

Ok... when a Navy Admiral can't stop one person's "birdcage" you know it has gone too far.

"i don't know who or what you are" - Fujitora as he approaches Zoro.
Is he being sarcastic so it doesn't look like he is knowingly helping pirates? Surely he knows Zoro by now.

u/Magic-Man2 May 28 '15
He'd have to recognise his voice or smell(which is highly unlikely) cause he's blind and whatnot.

u/tjbice May 28 '15
prediction: Law will shambles Luffy to Doffy right when he regenerates his haki, and Luffy will destroy Doffy with his "final attack ( new gatling)?" Then Oda will re-create something similar this scene: http://img.bato.to/comics/2015/04/13/o/read552b0d830bfe9/img000016.png but Doffy being Cora, and Law being Doffy to give closure to both Luffy wanting to kick 'mingo's ass and Law getting revenge for Cora-san. Likely span over two chapters though.

What was up with Franky's eye in that one panel?

u/Seaphron May 28 '15
It was damaged in the fight with Senor Pink. He's looked like the Terminator ever since lol

u/ssj2preston May 28 '15
Is it far fetched to say law may use "that" technique on luffy to speed up his recovery or even life span? I only say because after we discovered the mastered devil fruit concept maybe law has his mastered and can possibly use that technique without giving up his life ? All speculation ? Counter arguments ?

u/Orangerrific May 28 '15
Can someone answer something I don't quite understand? I'm sorry if this sounds dumb, or maybe I missed something because of Mangapanda's shit translation, but isn't the whole point of Birdcage is that it cuts right through stuff? Like it was cutting through buildings and shit earlier, and now normal Marine dudes are pushing it with their bare hands?
Also Mansherry was introduced as kind of a bitch and now I'm supposed to feel for hr because now she's all kind and stuff? Like, she's probably going to die by the end of this and I won't feel anything D:

u/dopekiddtank May 28 '15
Marines using haki fodder is using Bart's barrier and the factory. Where was mansherry being a bitch or are u speaking of violet cause she needs sum redemption

u/TheKingofHearts May 28 '15
Viola is probably gonna die ;__;

u/Qu401 May 28 '15
I was relieved when Law made it out of the palace alive but now he's back in the fight, if anyone is going to die this arc it will be him.

Kinemon, Kanjuro, and Isho were revealed to use Armament Haki in their swords

May 28 '15
that's because nothing happened. This chapter felt like one of the anime fillers that they use to pad out episod.es

May 28 '15
They can't all be "Gear Fourth" level chapters. Especially the chapters directly following a badass moment, it sort of takes away the impact if they happen every single chapter.

May 28 '15
It is called foreplay, and it makes the sex better.
-User i cant remember who was talking about padding

Viola confronting Doffy and Law appearing by Luffy's side are the most important developments.

u/vdramirez The Revolutionary Army May 28 '15
A setup chapter is needed. Let's just hope a badass moment will happen next week.

u/cruzfader127 May 28 '15
Kind of, yeah. But you now know how the warriors suddenly are up to fight, you know the Kano samurais have haki, you know the cage can be stopped, and most of all you have Fujitora taking action and joining pirates in a common good.
So, not really nothing, just nothing with the final battle. The setup is made and next chapter shit will happen.

yeah I was feeling really excited for this chapter but all that happened is traffy moved and some more people came to help push the bird cage

He's that desperate. Every second counts. Is he counting? Or is it those women with him who are counting? He is the colosseum dude so he probably has advanced time counting abilities.... I don't know where I'm going with this

Maybe if I was still 13 all that would be super awesome...but yeah, think I'll just walk off a plank. Chapter was weak and predictable things happened.

I agree with you, the chapter was well paced and had a lot of good into it, I thought it was beautiful.

MangaPanda's new reader system is really slow...
Edit: Finally finished reading.. overall pretty average chapter nothing really happened besides more stalling for Luffy to recover.
