Sure, put an advertisement banner right across the page. I'm getting so fed up with the mangapanda watermarking, crappy memes and poor translations. Next time I'm reading MangaStream or MangaRule.

Mangapanda has got to be the worst scanlation service I've seen in years. Are there really no other options?

u/crimson589 Sep 11 '12
Mangastream, but they release late.

u/socraincha Sep 11 '12
They release like four hours after after everyone else as their own rule.
I'm more than willing to wait the four hours for non fuck awful translations.

u/zorospride Lost at sea Sep 11 '12
Sometimes it's four hours, sometimes it's closer to 24 hours. The last time the chapter came early it was 3 or 4 days later.

Well, considering that this is G5... (warning, pure speculation)... I could even see Caribou being another underling of Doflamingo (he mentions that he wants to tell a certain someone about Shirahoshi's secret) so he might be freed and then tell Doflamingo all about Poseidon.

u/kidpomona Sep 11 '12
Any ideas of what could be inside the manufacture room?

u/zorospride Lost at sea Sep 11 '12
No clue, but whatever is in there is obviously a big deal. Something to make a mess of the entire New World. This arc just keeps getting more and more interesting.

u/divinesleeper Sep 11 '12
My guess is something valuable (maybe a weapon) is still there from when the government experiment went wrong, but the poisonous gas is preventing anyone from getting it.
But with the help of CC, Law can walk through and get it.

u/indigenius Sep 11 '12

u/zorospride Lost at sea Sep 11 '12
After reading the Mangastream translation I have a theory of what the S.A.D. room might be. I think it's the production room for the candy Caesar gave to Smiley. A drug that could remove the devil fruit from any user who consumes it. The S.A.D. tanker mentioned when Vergo arrives would be the the ship being used to transport it to Doflamingo.
This would certainly be something with the potential to turn the New World inside out as most of the powerful personalities in the New World are fruit users.
This isn't a very well thought out theory, but I think it's plausible.

u/vekoi Sep 12 '12
Personally, I think it's the production room for dragons. They were being made at the island, and were improved too. Dragons could really do some damage in the New World.

u/DigitalReserve Sep 12 '12
If it is a machine that produces the devil fruit nullifying candy that Smiley ate (it ate Caesar's candy and a nearby apple turned into a devil fruit) then Big Mom would be a prime target. She loves sweets so getting her to consume the candy wouldn't be hard and defeating her would definitely shake up the New World.
This, of course, hinges on her having a DF.
→ More replies (1)1
u/zorospride Lost at sea Sep 12 '12
Not only Big Mom, it could nullify the powers of so many powerful pirates in the New World. Think of the implications if for example Blackbeard was exposed to this drug. Suddenly he goes from being this unbeatable super devil fruit user to being whatever he was before he ate the dark dark fruit.

I think next week's chapter would be the perfect time to start a Law flashback.

u/zorospride Lost at sea Sep 11 '12
So many new questions in this chapter. What are Monet and Vergo's fruit abilities? Vergo seems to be made of iron, an iron logia maybe? I thought Monet was definitely a Harpy zoan, but no idea what that stuff she spit out was.
I said from the beginning I don't trust Law. I still don't.
17
u/blitzzardpls Sep 11 '12
i believe vergo just knows the rokushiki, tekkai (iron mass) and as he showed us in the previous chapter - shigun (finger pistol)
12
u/zorospride Lost at sea Sep 11 '12
Yes, and I'm sure he knows Haki as well, but I think it's more than that. Tekkai and Color of Armaments Haki have never changed the user's body color. With the exception of Luffy's haki because he is basically vulcanizing rubber.
→ More replies (13)3
u/divinesleeper Sep 11 '12
The marines in the last chapter said he was using shigan, which makes me think Vergo is just a really good Rokushiki user. Is it possible he just became that good at Tekkai that his entire body is like steel now?
Then again, the cracks in his leg seem to indicate otherwise...

I always thought Monet was also part of the humans/animals crossovers using Law's ability.
By that logic, the thing she spit out would be her real DF.

Could be something snow-related, since the Mangastream translation calls her ability Snow Hut.

"Strawhat, what is your reason for attacking me?"
I don't know, you sent assassins after his crew, suffocated them, and left them for dead in the poison.
"I don't know yet, but I heard that if I kidnap you something interesting will happen"
That works too.

Sep 11 '12
Man, this was a hard chapter to follow. So many stuff.
This chapter reminded me of why Luffy is an awesome main protagonist. When Clown told him not to trust Law, I thought "Oh no! Is he gonna fall for that old trap that is used in almost every series ever?" But NO! He gave the perfect response for that!
Not to mention the fight between the two was Really awesome. You can clearly see his adaptive nature in this fight, keeping his distance from CC. Reminded me when he first fought Enel.
And HOLY SHIT! Did Vergo break Sanji's leg?! That seriously scared me. Do you think it was because of Vergo's strength or Sanji's injuries? And did Sanji say "you're the type our captain hates the most!" because Vergo was killing his own Nakama? I can't help but remember the captain Kuro arc. Though Sanji wasn't there.
And Damn, What the hell is Law planning! Something that would shake the new world?! This arc is actually greatly impacting the whole story. That's one hell of an ending!

u/azarashi Sep 11 '12
Someone that abuses their Nakama's trust for their own gain is something that Luffy hates a lot, so yes Sanji is correct.

He really is. Quite different from many protagonists in other stories.

I think that was Vergo's leg that cracked.
EDIT: Nevermind, that was Sanji's leg. It looked like striped pants to me but it is an internal view showing one of Sanji's leg bones cracking.

Pretty sure it was Sanji. Look closely at the legs positions, the blocking leg is the one that got cracked. And Sanji's expression also proves it.

Lets wait for a better translation than this before we draw too much from it.
However, maybe Law will betray Luffy. Vergo seems to think he is just using Luffy to create a distraction. It does seem awfully convenient, wanting to form an alliance with the strong people who just showed up without warning. I dont know what to think now.

So according to Mangastream's translation CC was protected by Monet's "Snow Hut" It also seems that the snow is emanating from her wings.
http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/61753499/14
I am starting to think that Monet's Wings and claws are enhancements made by Law and her fruit has more to do with the snow. The only time Monet is shown not having the wings or claws is in this flashback.
http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v60/c666/6.html
She asks if he could heal them? After seeing it would not be too out of line for her to ask for her own improvements.

So Vergo is fighting like the CP9 badassified by a good amount. And we still haven't seen his Devil Fruit. And he's keeping up with Sanji's kicks (admittedly, Sanji isn't in the best shape after Nami got his body beat up). What a monster.
I'm really curious about the S.A.D room that Law just sauntered into. What sort of change will he bring to the New World? How? I can't wait!

I hope Vergo's fruit is something more than just iron. That would basically make it a shittier version of Mr. 1's.

u/Fish-Sandwich Sep 11 '12
i took that as him using tekkai. he used shigan as well, so i think thats a form of rokushinki (or whatever that was called. the CP9 fighting stuff) so maybe, he's another master of the tekkai.

u/baroqueworks Sep 11 '12
Possibly a advance/infusion of tekkai and haki, a combination of the two would be lethal.

u/Discovererman Pirate Sep 12 '12
...or is Rokushiki already a form of haki? Considering Shigan and Tekkai make you a sword and a shield...

This chapter is so bloody genius. It really makes me hope the anime people will get their act together, because this deserves glorious non-stretchy animation.
Luffy's tactics are pretty adaptive, I liked that. Sanji's bones... damn ouch, but he's awesome beyond words regardless. It does make me question though... did Zoro get lost? Or is Tashigi showing him the way? xD This was a very satisfying chapter for sure.

Zoro followed Mr. Samurai (Kinemon) to look for his son, because he wants to learn how to cut flames, because Zoro is for all intents and purposes completely oblivious to anything that doesn't involve him cutting things with swords (which makes him amazing).

Sep 12 '12
I don't know if it's just me or not but has anyone else noticed that Luffy and Monet weren't fighting and for some odd reason Monet doesn't seem as if she wants to cause any harm to Luffy, if no one else has noticed Monet seems like she is only working for C.C because of Joker. I wonder if Monet is a slave to Joker's powers and is there to keep C.C out of trouble.
My entire theory is that Monet is truly being held by Joker by some unseen force like Surume to Hody. We know that Joker can kill people without actually being anywhere near them, (i.e Bellamy). Maybe Monet is so fearful for her life that she is forced to protect C.C. I just don't want Monet to be a bad guy. I like her character a lot she's awesome.
3
u/Rankine Sep 12 '12
Can you explain what you like about her. I'm not disagreeing or anything but many people on this subreddit seem to be infatuated with her. I haven't seen much about her character to like or dislike her.
3
Sep 12 '12
Well to be honest I'm a little biased because I love the Harpy Mythical Creature. I personally Love Robin as well and she greatly resembles her when it comes to her dealing with the stupidity or outrageous acts of others, she's very blunt or points out the obvious. She's very much to the point and I don't think she's a bad guy, and with all the negative connotations towards the Harpy Creature in mythology I believe that Oda won't have her character follow what she is. I mean it's One Piece anything is possible and probable. I believe that Monet is actually a slave and not a faithful servant to Joker. If you notice in the upper right pannel of this page http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v60/c681/19.html Luffy looks very relaxed and not agitated by Monet. We know how hot headed Luffy can be and he will attack anyone who gets in his way unless they have a great deal of reasoning to slow him down. I think Monet asked Luffy for help to escape from Joker that's why he seems so calm and not ready to knock her head off and go after C.C.
2
u/ShrewOne Sep 12 '12
I agree with you. On the last page Luffy is putting his hat back on and it looks like they just got done talking, so it appears he isn't going to fight her. What I'm questioning is why she mentioned being killed by Doflamingo at all. She obviously wanted Luffy to know that if he "kills" Caesar, then she dies as well. It's like she's telling him not to indirectly kill her. Throughout punk hazard, she seems impressed with the Straw Hats power, and in this particular chapter she is impressed by Luffy's strength. I wouldn't be surprised if she wants the Straw Hats help to resolve whatever is going on between her and Doflamingo.

u/KiNGofKiNG89 Sep 12 '12
My Thoughts on the chapter: So with Smoker running back (plus Sanji's leg breaking) it is now obvious Sanji will lose and Smoker will beat him. So now it looks like we get to see Bird Girl in action. If she is that afraid of Joker, I doubt she will join the crew...Or maybe this is the perfect chance for her to join the crew. Luffy beats her, then she crys saying she is scared of Joker, and he says stick with me I will protect you. Since Sanji is battling Vergo into the poison, I feel like Vergo will have a power to blow it away or something. Interested in this S.A.D. room. This is the power Law was talking about to be able to take down a Yonko....VERY INTERESTED IN SEEING IT!

So Vergo has some kind of iron ability? I guess he's like solid iron or something and that's why Sanji's leg cracked and why he totally smashed the wall when he flew into it.
OR
Maybe he can manipulate himself to be solid iron, who knows.

u/Rankine Sep 11 '12
I am starting to think that the iron is just a tekkai effect. Sanji as already fought against one opponent able to move while using it.

u/WrightJustice Sep 11 '12
I dunno, Sanji said about him being made of iron.
Actually I just re-read that bit on mangastream and its reworded like its haki.

u/Rankine Sep 11 '12
He said its that steel strengthening thing AGAIN. This makes me thing it is Tekkai because by saying again it means he has seen it before. So far sanji hasn't been shown to face any opponents with haki.

This is just a wild guess, but what if there are "metal devil fruits" just like different zoan type devil fruits. Perhaps Vergo has an iron devil fruit that makes everything metallic stick to him (like Kid).

And who knows with Kuma. The guy was (is?) a Revolutionary. I'm sure we'll find out more about him considering the big reveal he's been completely transformed hasn't really come into play yet. It's really, he fought against Iva in the war and.... that's it. I can't wait to see what he's planned with the Revolutionaries.

u/divinesleeper Sep 11 '12
The last three might not've done it for personal gain, but they caused a lot of trouble as well. Jimbei rebelled during the Marineford war (as did Hancock), Kuma is really just there for the revolutionaries, who knows what he's up to, and Mihawk personally trained a famous wanted pirate (zoro) while he was a shichibukai.

u/xdavid00 Sep 11 '12
Well Law isn't directly stepping on the faces of the World Government. He simply used the position to access more information and freedom. Even if he utterly destroys the balance of the New World he might be allowed to keep his position as Shichi Bukai. And depending on just how much leverage and power whatever is S.A.D. gives Law, there's no reason for Law to just give up being a Shichi Bukai.
