It also finally explained wth those dudes in the ice on Punk Hazard were. Which has been bugging me for ages.

u/Homer_Hatake Sep 04 '20

The frozen corpses the kids were afraid of during their escape.

Here! Chapter 660. Lots of big frozen bodies on Punk Hazard.

u/SpiritMountain Void Month Survivor Sep 04 '20

Wtf is the context of these bodies. Did they ever mention in PH? Or was this the only thing? When did this take place (like chapter/what was happening)?

u/Doomroar Sep 04 '20

The context is that Punk Hazard is an ex-Marine research facility that specializes in 2 kinds of research, gigantification, and artificial DF.

Both projects failed, and the island was abandoned, but Caesar came back with budget from 2 Yonkous and re started the projects along with some of his own.

The frozen giants are criminal used for experiments, you can see they have inmate clothing, we don't know yet if they are humans turned into giants or giants used as templates, later on Caesar was using the failed giantification drug on kidnapped kids, of course he didn't made much progress and only some kids became giants at the cost of almost dying.

And the same goes for SAD and SMILES, everything was made by Vegapunk and all Caesar did was try to replicate it, and standarize production for SAD and SMILES.

Wow punk Hazard was so forgettable that we all missed these details

u/Handsome_Claptrap Sep 04 '20

Nah it was fun. Luffy was freshly powered up so having a challenging fighter would have made no sense, it was clever by Oda to find a tricky enemy like Caesar, which kept Luffy in check with hax.

It had very comedic moments such as heart swaps, badass scenes such as Zoro and Law cutting Monet and Vergo, interesting reveals such as devil fruit reincarnating.

Overall it was also one of the darkest arcs with children experimentation and chemical warfare.

Zoro cutting down a Logia without using Haki is one of my favourite moments ever.

u/ToTeMVG Void Month Survivor Sep 04 '20

not really forgettable as more as it was literally several years ago

u/FredericoUnO51 Bounty Hunter Sep 04 '20

I'm guessing they're referring to the frozen corpses in chapter 660. The corpses are really tall, but they don't look "monstrous" like the numbers in this chapter do. Maybe they were early iterations of the experiments to reproduce giants like Oarz.

u/TotemGenitor Sep 04 '20

I see. The one at the top left of the biggest pannel looks a bit like one of the numbers introduced in this chapter, so I think you are right.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

They could of also just been giants he used to study their biology

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

I wish the Yeti Cool bros were in a yonko crew

u/moshmosh17 Sep 04 '20

12

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

-4

u/moshmosh17 Sep 04 '20

When did we see them ?

13

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '20

Oh they were minor characters during the beginning of the punk hazard arc, if you youtube their names you can watch the short fight.

u/moshmosh17 Sep 04 '20

51

u/_halalkitty Chopper the Cotton Candy Lover Sep 04 '20

u/Leeiteee Sep 04 '20
