I kind of hope he lays off the cover story for a bit and do some crazy stuff with the onepiece crew.
I personally like those. It usually shows the onepiece in a different setting and it really shows off Oda's creativity.

doesn't oda usually do 7 or so of them? One for each strawhat before going onto the next mini arc?
Anyways, I'd like to see a one with Krieg joining the marines as a Inspector Gadget type dude…
@Cap'n:
Ace already got his own story. And in that story he's separated from Buggy and searching for Blackbeard.
Characters I want to see in a serial story (eventually):
- Foxy
- Captain Morgan
- T-Bone
- Jerry
- Wanze
- Jabura
- Kumadori
- Blueno
Captain Morgan already got his own story too
Plus, I think Foxy and Buggy on the same crew would kick ass!
Hell yeah. A Davy Back Fight between those two needs to be done.
Can't think of anything else at the moment.
Captain Morgan already got his own story too
No he didn't. He's had cameos in other stories.
Ace isn't with Buggy anymore. Didn't you read Ace's ministory? He wasn't with Buggy at all.
Oh yeah. I had gotten confused.
I would weep tears of joy if there was a Buggy and Foxy DBF…so awesome...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Foxy will get a mini story at some point. He's just too cool not to!
I think a while after Enies Lobby, Spandam will get a mini story. Like "Spandam's Clumsy Escapade" where he tries to get a new job, and the other CP9's come along for the ride. Or Kaku and Jyabura get a arc. Kumadori too...aw heck, all of CP9 should get their own mini arcs!
I think Carue should get his own arc as well. Vivi gets kidnapped, and Carue rescues her! Something like that.
Lastly, Patty and Carne simply have to get an arc, or at least make a cameo! I miss them so much...
i want to see the cp9 circus… (obviously later on :P)
I would like to see a mini-arc of the merry Go or one of the shichibukai that we have been introduced to.
You guys must all be hopped up on pixie dust.
The next Mini Arc is so obviously gonna be Tyranosaurus.
hmm id like to see Dalton again and see whats the status on the New drum kingdom they are building,
and also want one from alabasta where we get more carue and his ducksquad goodness and that perverted chamel i loved those guys and lastly i also crave a a double dog mini-arc starring ChouChou and Holy^^
Ha ha, does anybody have those fake cover story things from last year? (Bon Clay's Gay Adventure, Captain Morgain's How I dropped the soap, etc) xD
I want to see Kuro again, but T-Bone seems like a big contender in my mind. Though I 'm betting Oda pulls some random character we haven't seen for about 200 chapters and surpises us all~
Yup. I made them and almost posted them earlier.
Either DBF 2: Foxy vs. Buggy or Enel would be sweet.
Ha ha, that's it! xDD The Bon Clay one cracks me up every time…
this probably isnt much of a possibility, but i thought about maybe it being on Cricket (+shoujou and masira) taking the knock-up stream themselves to skypeia. that way, we could see whats going on there, and we would get to see a long-awaited moment: Cricket meating Wiper. completing the circle, if you will.
Actually I really want A Foxy Arc but i want them to first meet Gin and his crew. They could DBF and then Foxy would win, but they would respect each other because of their strength. Then Foxy/Gin meet Buggy/Alvida for another DBF. Afterwards they all set out to get Strawhat Luffy and gang. That would be the coolest ever!
If not that then either a Johnny/Yusako. A Vivi themed arc for herself. Or a Eneru arc to the moon where he finds a new species on there to rule over and be their "god". Anything CP9 seems too soon yet. T-Bone and Wanze would be good though.
The chronicles of Iceburg..? -_-
Hey, Ace is in Whitebeard's crew.
Not Buggy.
Johnny and Yozaku meet Mozu and Kiwi?
They all have rectangular swords and enjoy turning in pirates for cash, Franky even talked about the Square Sisters not being married yet.
Of course they'd have to face the inlaws - Franky and the Frank Family…
"Pointless-Because-You-Wouldn't-Stop-Freaking-Bugging-Me-About-It-Romantic Side Story!: Two Brides for Two Brothers."
I'd love to see a Enel's ministory in the moon, he doesn't have to die, did you know that according to japanese folklore the moon is populated by rabbits? (this concept has appeared in many manganimes). I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see Enel ruling a land of cute rabbits
I felt like reviving this thread because the CP9 arc is coming to an end right now. I personally hope that Oda doesn't show random shots of animals with the characters in the next few chapters. So who do you ppl think Oda going to star in the next mini-arc? As of now, we've not seen foxy, kuro and kokoro yet shivers
Unless of course, the translators did a sloppy job, the story isn't over yet since the last page of the title page stories is always titles final volume, which isn't the case here.
Plus, the coverstory reached no conclusion. We haven't seen CP9's new role thus far. Also the "drill sergeant" wasn't revealed thus far which would be pretty unsatisfactory if the story end's just this way.

Since lucci said "someday we shall return", I thought the arc ended. But IMHO, the cp9 mini arc has been going on for quite a while now and I'm pretty sure it's gonna end in a couple of chapters at the most
Well, this mini-arc won't be over before the front page says "final volume," but I dont think it's too much left of it.
Except for Cobymeppo's and Buggy's stories, all the cover-arcs have been shown in the order the characters appeared, haven't they? Following this trend, I guess the next one is not going to be about Foxy. I always thought the next one would be about Perona, but now that she already is included in the story again, that's most likely not going to happen. The only other enemies I could picture getting their own arcs is Hogback and Absalom, but I don't really see any reason for them to get one, kindof.

Well, it can't be much longer that much is true. But it doesn't seem over and I think that we'll have a couple of chapters before the final volume comes. Perhaps five or six more.

Considering that they are most likely still with Moria, I'd say that Absalom and Hogback won't appear in a title page story yet. And this current chapter destroys my hope of the Buggy Pirates having a DBF with the Foxy Pirates. :(
If they're not going to come back in the main story I'd like to see one for Kuro, Johnny & Yosaku, Foxxy, Kreig(not Gin cuz I think he'll return like he said he would), and down the line the amazons….
I do think after this CP9 story Oda will just give us random cover spreads for awhile.
I agree, it would be weird to just have Hogsalom to just go on their own adventures now, with no apparent reason.
What about the supernovas then? I don't really feel like it, but I'm sure most of them is going to play a role later in the story, so maybe.

I doubt that's going to happen because we don't know how many supernovas actually escaped (if any). I think they're going to show up in the main arc though (perhaps at ID). Besides, it's too soon for them to be in a mini-arc

I'd say it's safe game to assume that at least Drake, Hawkins, Apoo and Urouge are among the 500 pirates Borsalino took sent to Impel Down. And though they are actually too hyped to fall victim to him, I wouldn't be surprised if Kidd and Law would be there aswell, since it was said that Borsalino got angry because he couldn't capture Luffy. It mentions nowhere that he couldn't capture Kidd and Law and those were just as much his prime targets as Luffy was.

Actually, in the beginning of Chapter 514 it is stated that none of the three had been captured yet. Furthermore, the newspaper Nyon has in 522 has three images in a row that resemble Luffy, Law, and Kidd. We already know Nyon learned about the Tenryuubito incident and Luffy from the paper, so I am sure Law and Kidd were in there as well. All evidence points to the two of them being free as well.
It is possible that the Supernovae that Kizaru managed to escape after he left to meet up with Sentomaru. Hawkin's did say that the chances of escape was 12%, which I guess is fairly good considering you're fighting an Admiral, and I think his crew at least was still nearby. I'd like for him and Drake to have gotten away, because I'd like to know more about them.
Urouge and Apoo can go to hell though, for all I care.
Duuuuuuuuude. I thought Urouge was cool.
What could be Law, Kidd, and Luffy on that paper doesn't mean that those two escaped. If anything the paper could've just been pointing out the criminals who committed the crime. Lets keep in mind the last time we saw them they were either facing a pacifista or the real Kuma. Even if they beat it would've took some time, long enough so that Kizaru cold show up all pissed off and then pwn them.
The only ppl who probably escaped were Bonney and Capone. I'm expecting to see all the SNs except for those two(and ofcourse Zoro) I just mentioned in this arc as prisoners.
@Zik:

True, but what about the first sentence of my post…?
[hide]**– Chapter 514 --
Sharlia:** Haven't you APPREHENDED them yet?!!
Marine: Admiral Kizaru-dono is on their trail, so it should only be a matter of time! If you would just have–
Sharlia: You incompetent, lazy dogs!! First they reduce my poor father and brother to THIS. Then they set all of our slaves free!! Have you no RESPECT for the blood of the creators of our world?!! When I have them in my grasp, they will crawl along the ground BEGGING me to free them from the living hell they will suffer!![/hide]

Wouldn't that still be before or during Kizaru's rampage of capturing 500 pirates? Most likely during due to the several days after the fact.
Also this them/they thing isn't definitive. The way I always saw it, Luffy the SHs captain is the one who is top priority and then his crew. The them/they could be referring to his crew.
All Law and Kidd did were be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Then as expected they fought their way out because they had to. Sharila didn't see them do anything, but maybe after being told she's grouping them altogether.
I see it like this though if there's a raise in bounty coming for that event then if Law and Kidd are really included they too would get raises. Although I doubt it.
@Zik:
The them/they could be referring to his crew.
I could have bet a million dollars you would say that. Haha. The bounty on Luffy's head is on Luffy's head. This incident will likely raise HIS bounty, not the entire crew's. When Sentoumaru mentioned the perpetrators, he said "Luffy, Kidd, and Law" and not "…and crew." While I agree the crew would get arrested too, it would be because they are pirates not because of what Luffy did necessarily. And the 514 discussion was obviously something that had taken place at a later time. Not much later, but long enough after since she was saying "still haven't caught..."
All in all I agree nothing is 100% certain since Kizaru could have cleaned things up after, but what we do know is that Kizaru was in a hurry. So unless that conversation in 514 took place within a few hours after Kuma puni'd the SHP's, I doubt Kizaru would have had time to locate and capture Law and Kidd. In any case, the whole conversation they have in general seems aimed at letting us know Law and Kidd got away. The readers already know Kizaru didn't capture Luffy, and of course we already knew that the Nobles would be pissed about things, so why show the scene if not to inform us that Kidd and Law weren't captured either?
Probably Foxy or some Supernovas.
This incident will likely raise HIS bounty, not the entire crew's.
I never said that. I specifically said that HIS bounty might raise not the crew's.
When Sentoumaru mentioned the perpetrators, he said "Luffy, Kidd, and Law" and not "and crew…".
Yet Kizaru the person in charge chooses to go after Luffy and not just him but proceed to attack his entire crew without hesitation.
While I agree the crew would get arrested too, it would be because they are pirates not because of what Luffy did necessarily.
They'd get arrested because they are SH pirates and they, specifically Usopp(lol) and Luffy committed the crime(attacking world nobles).
And the 514 discussion was obviously something that had taken place at a later time. Not much later, but long enough after that she was saying "still haven't caught…"
Like I said meaning that Kizaru's rampage was most likely still on going. It doesn't mean definitively that it had ended.
So unless that conversation in 514 took place within a few minutes after Kuma puni'd the SHP's I doubt Kizaru would have had time to locate and capture Law and Kidd.
Well seeing as he was able to capture 500 pirates it wouldn't be hard. You're also assuming that Law and Kidd defeated the pacifista(or still possibly Kuma) quickly and left. When they could've had a hard time to beat it, taking long enough for Kizaru to capture them.
All I'm saying is the chances of them escaping aren't as high as everyone thinks. They can easily have been captured. We don't know if they were planning on going to Gyojin island at that moment or just fleeing from SA. They could've been caught up at anytime really.
and of course we already knew that the Nobles would be pissed about things, so why show the scene if not to inform us that Kidd and Law weren't capture either?
Possibly to show that the world nobles still have a grudge against Luffy and the SHs and might play a role later on in the story? I still don't see how she'd be mad at Law and Kidd when they didn't do anything to her or any other admiral. The mentioning of them/they doesn't necessarily mean it includes Law's and Kidd's crew imo
Meh. According to the Marine reports, the perpetrators were Luffy, Law, and Kidd. Despite what we, the readers, know. I was only bringing up the bounties and such to stress that the Captains of the crews are held most responsible and are who they would be talking about whenever they discussed the matter. There is no reason Oda would switch from the Marines using "they" (Luffy, Law, and Kidd) earlier in the arc to "they" (Luffy and crew) afterward when talking to Sharlia. Either way, I said I agreed it was unknown, but that newspaper is more than likely the three of them and that particular scene was more than likely Oda letting us know Kidd and Law are still at large. Would be pretty lame and pointless if they – the two Oda really set focus on -- were captured off screen after giving us that scene with them VS. the Pacifista.

There could always be "lamer" things he could do…...
Plus, consider that Sharlia herself was a witness at the Auction House- she knows exactly who stood in opposition to her family and who just sat around munching their popcorn. Or did she have every non-Ignoble charged with the crime, too? Wouldn't put it past her, she is a Tenryuukuso, after all.

I doubt she could recall the faces of anyone in that room outside of Luffy to be honest. And even that is stretching it. People on that high of a horse rarely look at the people they feel are servants, slaves, trash, scum, etc.
the OP crew working it's way back to shabondy?
Practically Zik already said what I wanted to say. Sharlia being pissed that the culprits weren't captured was before Borsalino returned with 500 pirates. Point is, that after the Strawhat's escaped Borsalino captured 500 pirates. And before that he didn't even have a single one with him.
Same goes to what Zik said about the newspaper. Seeing the three faces there (which I so far never noticed, so thanks for pointing that out) doesn't mean that all of them escape. The only thing that's most likely it stands for is that those three rookie captains were involved in the Tenryuubito incident.
So when it comes down to it, neither of the two arguments counts as evidence. In the same spirit the fact that there's no specific mention of Kidd and Law escaping on the report to Sengoku might also not be evidence but stronger indices then your two arguments, since it's a bit weird that Oda left the two out if there's no specific reason for that.
That said, I still think that thanks to their hype (especially freeing Jean Bart only to have him go to Impel Down) those two escaped, but the indices rather point to opposite.
Foxy in a Davy Back Fight with another character. I was hoping for Buggy but he seems to be busy at the moment so….

Wait what?!?!?! Jean Bart got captured and is in ID? Maybe I didn't recognize him if you're talking about the recent chap.
If he is then that kinda points more to all of Law's crew are in there. Unless their willing to let a (new)nakama go to prison.
^^ He's saying that since Oda wrote Law into the story freeing Jean Bert, it would be pointless to then send him back to prison, so scenes like that lead him to believe that Kidd and Law escaped. Again, we are all arguing opinion here. I think that Oda drops subtle hints in the manga all the time, and the newspaper combined with the conversation that Sharlia and the Marine have are both subtle hints that only exist to let the reader know that Kidd and Law escaped. Thus setting them up for future involvement in the story. Kidd has a first mate with a bounty similar to Zoro, and Law acquired a new crew member of an unknown fame (other than ex-captain), so they both received special attention. Then seeing them cliffhanger'd with the first Pacifista only to find out chapters later that they haven't been caught yet would ALL be pointless if Oda was going to just toss them in prison off-screen. I am not saying it cannot happen, but rather that in my opinion all evidence points to them having escaped. The newspaper, the conversation, and the 500 pirates being caught are not evidence to suggest the two of them and their crew were caught. If anything, it is evidence to the contrary given how Oda uses his subtle hints. However, I will leave it as "unknown" and arguable evidence for either side. There is just no point arguing it.

Yep, that's what I meant. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

I repeat, that statement was made during the time Borsalino was still at Sabaody. Heck, it was during the time the Strawhat's just escaped from his grasp, so even if he would have catched the Strawhat's he couldn't have possibly met up with Kidd and Law yet.
I agree with your statement about hints, but you have also to put them in the (chrono)logic order. Sharlia's statement was made during the entire comotion. The statement about the captured pirates however was when Borsalino was back again. There is a clear difference between the two.

Neither is what you bring evidence. And I think I stated multiple times why.

There's no point in arguing the outcome but a point in arguing wether any of said arguments here (brougth from both, you and me) actually counts as evidence. Which I think it doesn't.
