Chapter 578 - A Present to the New Age

Twisted Vixen

We all live in Law's submarine, Law's submarine, Law's submarine…

If that sub turned out to be yellow I would die laughing.

And then right on cue, Crocodile's laughter starts~ "Kuahahahahahaha!"

…It'd be amusing if he joined, to have a scene where everyone will be laughing joyfully and they'd suddenly stop because of his sinister laughter.

Croc really does have the best laugh.

Man, as unlikely as it is, I would love to see him with the SH's.

LOL, I just had this though. How hilarious would it be if Luffy got back to SA after the rest of the crew with Crocodile? The crew would be like wth is he doing here? And Luffy would say in his matter of fact way like it was no big deal at all "He's our new nakama." They'd all be like EHHHHHHHH?!?!?!

@Fire Fist:

No comments on Luffy's head on a new body? Maybe Law will put his head on Ace's body… Voila, Luffy's 19. Or maybe Jimbei will die and he'll become half Gyojin, half Human... Everyone except Zoro would crap themselves when he walked back to the crew with Jimbei's body attached to his head.

Then again... that'd be way too bizarre.

LOL why would he put Luffy head on a body that have a big hole :blink:

@Sunita:

Law :wub:

He Rules!!!!! I love him (:ninja: fangirl mode on XD)
Really, he has been one my favourite character in my OP top ten ^^ (since 2008, when he appeared in the manga), but if help to Luffy, he'll be my 3nd favourite character, after Ace-san :wub: (1st) and Zoro-kun :wub: (2nd).

I hope Law will show more habilities in this War….allways I've think in his apellative....the Surgeon of Death or Dark Doctor ^^

I agree :happy: (and you signature RLZ!!!)

Mmmmm No. He's great, not like BB that need a power up to show off ¬¬

Before I did not like Crocodile, for Vivi and Alabasta...., but now, for his quote in this war, by their actions (including help Ace when they were going to execute the executioners), he has shown "more class" than other characters and winning points for me :happy:. Blackbeard ¬¬ does not arrive or heels him in "to have class." (If we talk about the villains)
Never thought I'd say this, but ....my respects for Lord Crocodile!
Go Lord Crocodile, kick ass bastard Akainu!!!

Thanks for the VR :happy:

If I had a say I would have him join the strawhats with his crew of course but that wouldn't be as good since he would not be a captain anymore, i wouldn't mind law getting a spin off lol!! and i didnt make the sig haha props to the guy that did (his name is right below the sig)

Gekko135

so, since every arc ends with a party.

Perhaps when they load Luffy onto Law's sub, the Heart pirates will celebrate by smoking some of the dark doctor's hash

also, Chrissie, that Crocodile vid is officially the best video on youtube

igoLman

Boa would probably give the Strawhat to Luffy. Buggy's face. FTW Hahahahahaha! Can't get enough of his followers. :)) Anyways, damn! Law aiding Luffy and by the way, where's San Juan Wolf?

Unluck

@Twisted:

If that sub turned out to be yellow I would die laughing.

Seems likely to me, it would match his jacket!

It would be a paradise.

Indeed~

Pffft! Heck yeah! I could imagine a couple of gags that could be pulled off with Crocodile on the crew. Terrorizing Usopp, maybe Chopper too, with his mere presence and the laugh thing I mentioned would be great for example~ Ahh~ I know it's just wishful thinking but maaaan if Oda does something like that, I'd die!

Agreed Gekko. I never tire of watching it!

Soooo i wonder who's gonna tell jozu the bad news that whitebeard and ace are dead?

I really hope BB does pw0n Sengoku. It'd utterly cement him as a beast now, and everyone would definitely respect his danger level. I'm also surprised Garp hasn't joined in though. All the top-tiers seem to be going all out now. Kizaru is likely sniping people left and right with his laser scope

LinkG07

Very nice chapter. Law showing up to help Luffy was a nice treat. I have a feeling that there is gonna be a shade of Bleach when the next arc starts. Law is gonna have complications with Luffy (maybe) but he's gonna work with him in order to become stronger. Maybe control his Haki? Dunno what the future holds, but things just keep getting interesting.

@Emolisher:

Well, the idea (joke, really) was he'd patch it up, but good point…

I mean, look at Bepo. Bepo is a dude with a bear's head (and hands) that can talk (Unless he's an awakened Zoan, but how would a Rookie get an Awakened Zoan on his ship?) It's not impossible to think he couldn't put a person's head on another body to save that person's life, since he seemingly did it for "the lulz" (with Bepo).

The only bad thing is that if this turned to be true, we'd have another Iva thread with people drawing different people's heads on other people's bodies...

Oh man I really really REALLY wish Crocodile joins, I think he does have potential. I mean where else is he going after the war? I'd be so happy if he does and that would just be so AWESOME. __ ~~And I'd get to stare at his hot ass all day~~

Pttfff, and forget the SH's reaction, imagine VIVI's face when she hears that Crocodile joined them.. oh man, my inner Vivi hater is dancing at the thought. XD

Oh yes, seeing Croc all the time would be awesome :wub:

And the extra treat of seeing Vivi be like WTF?! would be just as awesome.

? ummmm are you watching one piece? lol i dont remember seeing anything about bepo just having bear hands and a head i always thought he was a bear and im pretty sure he is, maybe not internally but external is definitely a polar bear.

Spacehippy

Anyone else think that maybe the other supernovas are all going to turn up and have a stand off against Kizaru like the WB captains (and croc) vs Akainu?
I think now that laws here its likely at least one more supernova shows up…

icel

Also where did this whole Oda saying a boss will join come from? Where/when did he say that?

GJardim

1st post
I had a feeling since when Law was interested on Luffy that something would happen like this. This chapter too made the epic streak of epic chapters even more epic.
And maybe Chopper will want to learn somethings from Law in the future.

I think another might turn up, but i really doubt all of them. But I really want to see more of all of them. Except Capone Bege… 'cause he's a PUSS

Well, not quite, Idk but when i watched/read the anime/manga when he first appeared i thought he seemed to act a little more like a friend to luffy than the rest.

He may just be a talking polar bear, but we haven't seen any other talking animals so far (Papagg and Chopper don't count). Like I said, he could also be an awakened Zoan, but they seem extremely rare, even Marco doesn't seem to be an Awakened Zoan. So… I'm just throwing out the options, there.

Muda Muda no Mi

Yeah, the Bepo case is a weird one. I can only see him as being either awakened, being one of those cases where a polar bear ate the Polar Bear zoan fruit, or a Polar bear that ate the Hito Hito no mi….

...since the Hito Hito no mi was already eaten, that narrows it down some....

As for Croc joining....too weird. I wonder how Oda would situate him into the crew with both Robin and Luffy if it came down to it....Like people say about Boa and Jimbei, the same could apply to him that "he might be too strong"?

true, it seemed a little outrageous to say hes actually a full on guy just with a bear head and bear hands dont you think?

Funny you should ask, Ivotas dug up the link recently.

i believe that Bepo's human brain got put into the bear by Law, his human body cant function no more and there happen to be a bear around and voila….........

i think bepo is a zoan-user…
we didnt see any animal-races on the flyer of the auction house and also those demon guards were in the end just zoan-DFs....
would be kind of weird when oda now puts animalpeople into his story when he have clearly those zoan-fruits for that..or fishman cause fish-DFs he cant use cause of the "you can`t any longer swim"-theme....

sniperking323

This chapter was really something
I almost thought Jimbei was gonna die for sure
and Buggy unexpectedly saving him and Luffy was just both funny AND cool X3
What's even more unexpected was that fact that Law showed up! _
Crocodile's arrival was really badass also ____________

Darkestsith6

I like how Crocodile was on the spread with all the WB captains. They were all collectively addressed as WB members from Akainu. Perhaps an allusion to some past connections on WB's crew?

He's a cigar-chomping living fortress, I don't call that what you do…that's class.

straw hat luffy lost his straw hat by the way

the_bump

Anyone think that Aokiji and Kizaru would help to fight the WB pirates with Akainu, or would they go join Sengoku against the BB pirates??
Well, Aokiji did screw Jinbei up by freezing the sea.

5_Of_Spades

Ah Law. Bet he chose his profession because chicks dig doctors, then quit it and became a pirate because of the sucky hours.

Mister_Anbu

I think at least one of them will go help Sengoku. The other one (Aokiji imo) will probably go after Law. From there, who knows?

That's if he's still alive. I mean, how long has he been frozen exactly?

@Badass:

Make it happen, folks.

Can we nominate Nami's boobs as a character for the tourney? If so, I think we have found ourselves the champion!!
Just imagine all the campaigns :wub:

And for all the Croc talk about joining the crew…......
It does seem that Oda has something planned for him, however, his personality is simply too..... I dunno, just trying to imagine him laughing and partying with the rest of the crew is really hard to do.

I totally see this being true. Law is a doctor. What is to say that he doesn't do some sort of special surgery using his Room Ability

ohmygosh

Who cares about Law? We had a Bepo sighting!

It did fly off and was not seen from then on. Maybe someone picked it up, but its hard to tell currently.

Law: I'm a doctor!
Buggy: Really?
Law: Well… I play a doctor in a shonen manga. All we need are band-aids, right?

@Uzumaki_D_Kenichi:

Well, when Aokiji froze Luffy, he told the crew that Luffy would be fine as long as his entire body stayed intact while he thawed out.

Besides, Jozu may be thankful he was frozen because it looks like Admiral Akainu is going to start where he left off prior to being punched by Whitebeard and start kicking some major butt.

I think it would be quite boring if Blackbeard automatically becomes the strongest man in the world after obtaining the Gura Gura no Mi at this point in the story.

I think Oda is still developing Teach's character and since most think we are around the halfway point, Oda has quite a bit of time to slowly develop Teach and eventually make him the strongest man in the world.

Quite frankly, I hope by the end of One Piece that Blackbeard takes the Gura Gura no Mi to levels not even Whitebeard achieved.

you would think, a whale shark who can pull water can punch through some ice shiet. then again he did get attacked in midair. lul :ninja:

besides that great chapter as always. i'm a bit upset at the fact luffy losin his hat.

I say Bepo joins the Strawhats, thus making them even more awesome.

I don't think it was just a sheet of ice, I'm pretty sure he froze the entire water through. Go look at that one spread where Mihawk cuts through the frozen wave - it was completely solid.

Glowstuff

Hmm, I wonder if somehow Luffy is going to end up all the way back in East Blue licking his wounds. After hearing those tales about the Grand Line being a nightmare from Don Kreig, it would be semi interesting if the same thing happened to Luffy. It may take forever to get back to SA, but that could be where the time skip comes back in.

Edit: I forgot.

Since Luffy might get a huge bounty increase, in exchange he can be stuck in East blue recovering, while the other SN get to continue on their journeys.

Im curious how Oda will use Law as a doctor.
