Just as long as Brook's fencing doesn't end up ignored completely for music. If that ends up being the case then it'd be a big disappointment to me since through Ryuma we at least got to see some of what he can do.
I think Brook upgraded his sword for an Ax. 
I believe she likes to eat cucumbers.
Anyone who thinks other than this isn't a true One Piece fan. Those fiends just make this holy land dirty, and are the reason the Earth is getting hotter.
There was back during Thriller Bark that Nami called Luffy, Zoro and Sanji the "monster trio" so I guess that'd be similar to this current chapter.
That and Luffy actually making Zoro and Sanji "captains" of their trio when running in Sabaody.
The weak trio has never mentioned but we always though of those 3 as the weakest ones, while not telling like he did in this chapter Oda always made it pretty obvious.
P.S: Guys stop with the cucumber stuff, your talking about it in every fucking topic, let some discussion flow atleast go troll the Naruto/Bleach threads.
@ Sea:
did you notice she's sweating? I wonder why???
What is Oden saying to WB?
Become my son Whitebeard.
So if Brook gets his bounty updated, will he still be known as humming Brook or as Soul king?

I think it's more likely that he'll get a new bounty all together, with the marines not making the connection.
"Danger is my middle name."
So Sanji spent 2 years fighting the namakas? who would not even give him a minute to rest. That doesn't seem 2 years worth of time. Except learning recipes, I wonder if maybe he got trained by Ivankov.
Luffy got Rayleigh and Zoro got Mihawk.
Omg.D=< :w00t:
I need to read the next chapter!! Luffy meets Fake Luffy!
And I think I read another post that mentioned that with the marines coming to sort out the deal, the Strawhats will escape, while showing their awesome new powers…It's going to be wicked!
And poor Usopp. Even though he says hes no longer in the "weak trio", he will not be the only one that got stronger... Wait till he sees luffy knockin' down those marines with a single stare!
I like Nami's long hair, I think it gives her more of a mature look. And when the fake Luffy asked her for a drink, I was thinking she would say, "No thanks, you're a fake Luffy."
Anyways, I KNOW Luffy is going to shock us with his new powers!!
(Hey, since it's a time skip, will OP undergo Shippuden like Naruto? owo)

Pretty sure Oda originally wanted to write an ero-manga.
@ultimateclima:

"Soul king Brook" would be cool :wassat:
Nice chapter. Looking foraward to next chapter even more than I looked forward to this one
And for the cucumbers… Until I read at the forums all I saw was an ugly hag holding a cucumber. And I read the chapter 6 times. What's up with your minds?:blink:
@Maes:

Yup, I think so too. Though you never know, some old marine might somehow remember him from the old days… Well, I guess we'll see! =D

Come on Soul King Brook!!! That would be an awesome name for the wanted poster. But I wonder, will the Straw Hats ever get a poster name change? Seems like it's something we would be stuck with until the end of the series.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯ 
[hide]It was the position of the cucumber….
....that
arousedamused many.[/hide]
OPfan meant he read the chapter 6 times but he didn't get the gag until he read it in the forum, not that he needed explanation .

Well Usopp and Brook dont have an oficial poster so atleast they will get new ones, I think all of them will get an updated picture and Usopp getting his instead of Sogeking same with Brook like people said I doubt someone would recognize him so hes getting a new bounty poster, I hope Sanji gets a normal one also and they finally see Chopper as a threat and not pet.
Im hoping Oda will be a little more serious with the poster now, even if I loved the old ones.
Flamegurl, Naruto is still Naruto, Dragon Ball was still Dragon Ball, thats an anime only stuff the name changes, some people suggested it might be One Piece: New World in the anime since they love to do the name changes, hopefully Oda tells them not to do it but it wouldnt bother me if they change it, I rarelly see the anime nowdays, I catch up with it from times to times.
@ultimateclima:

Probably Soul King. I don't think they'd know the "Humming" name..
"Humming" Brook sounded cool, though. For me, it was one of the best moments in TB when Brook mysteriously attacked the zombies while humming. But i gotta admit it, Soul King sounds way cooler. I can't wait for the moment when Brook's guitar transforms into an axe and he pwns everybody with it.
I can imagine Franky only with caterpillar tracks. Caterpillar tracks with swimming trunks.
Luffys HH abilities will probably the biggest power up for 200+ chapters. Seriously, 1 hit KO is instant win.
@Maes:

It would be interesting to see 2 wanted posters for one person; then maybe Usopp might get 2. But I thunk the Marines could have somebody remember his name if he was notorious enough as a pirate and before a
he became a pirate. Sorry and Broggy were recognized after 100 years. Granted they're giants with 100 million head each but you get what I'm saying.
Luffys HH abilities will probably the biggest power up for 200+ chapters. Seriously, 1 hit KO is instant win.
Only against fodder. He could KO the same fodder in one hit with a haki-less punch, most likely
Did any one notice the bling bling sword on the coler page? mayby it's brook's new sword it woulth realy look greath with hi's rock star outfit
Oyea i was wondering what do u tink luffy's gear 2 attacks will be called in the futere "Gomu gomu not jet haki pistol" or just stay the old "gomu gomu no jet pistol"

Actually, I'm quite sure HH influences a persons armour and observation haki. If someone as powerful as Luffy is pounding your will with his HH you can't use haki properly. That's for people on Luffys level.
I'm also sure that as Luffy grows stronger his HH will affect more powerful opponents, instead of just fodder. However, the people on Luffys level will not be instantly knocked out.
i doubt hell use gear second that much actually
When I die I want to get shot out of a cannon. Scare the hell out of someone.

It would be Funnier if Brrok new Wanted poster has a less amount of Bounty than the First one.
i doubt hell use gear second that much actually
Gear second / Third would only be used in Critical moments or against a strong enemies.
But that doesn't mean He can't Move faster and deal powerfull hits without his Gears, cause After using them so much and the 2 years training, i think his Initial Gear Ressemble to The 2nd Gear 2 years ago
If he fight while Using Haki as a Main Ability it would be better, he would Improve this ability.

I'm pretty sure the sword is just one of the treasures flying around.
And the Gear Second attack will probably stay the same..

All I claimed was that the Haoushoku Haki itself can only 1HKO the same fodder that Luffy can OHKO without it. I never once doubted that it would be utilized to somewhat weaken the stronger opponents.

That's good. 
I hope Luffy will soon use again those attacks where he turns in his whole arm.

One question! Where hell is Salome??????
One question! Where hell is Salome??????
Wandering around the island and visiting some old friends there.
I hope Nyon has come out from retirement to be the Empress so that Hancock can be a SH.
Is his music now more like Sanji's recipes (that he probly got from the okamas) enhancing the skills and features of the other crew members. This has at least been hinted at in the satan story. Or is it more like a weapon, as we have seen the sleep song before. Or is it merely entertainment as pirates love to sing and dance and therefore more like Binks sake.
I'm guessing it will be all three. In his back-story, Brook was shown playing music to help his crew, to entertain them, and to defend himself – so all three aspects have been integral to his character from the start, and will hopefully continue to be so.
I also think that Brook's switch from acoustic guitar to electric guitar hints that he' now aware that amplified instruments can affect a larger number of people. So just a switch from acoustic to electric can be considered a "power up" of sorts. But I don't think he'll ever abandon his acoustic instruments either -- he'll need those for battles in areas without electricity, and for happy celebrations with the crew.
At least, we can say that the pirate king has the most famous musician…
Heeeey! That's right. Niiiice!
Mortea: Too Much Information. Sheesh.
That aside though, I do like your thought about Brook enhancing the rep of the SH by "joining" them after having become Soul King. I don't know if the Marines would be able to connect the dots between Brooks former bounty poster and his soon-to-be-current one – and it's possible that he, Sanji and Usopp will end up with two bounty posters apiece. But I hope not.(Especially in Sanji's case -- because even though that poster is a blow to his ego, it keeps him from being recognized when he's sneaking around).
Just as long as Brook's fencing doesn't end up ignored completely for music. If that ends up being the case then it'd be a big disappointment to me since through Ryuma we at least got to see some of what he can do.
I'm guessing (or maybe I should say "hoping") that the only reason why we haven't seen Brook's fencing so far is because his sword/can was taken away by the slavers. Now that he's a world famous superstar though, I'm sure he's either got it back from them or bought a new one.

@Thunder:

Yeah, I was wondering too if the name of his attacks will change so that we can identify when he is using Armor Haki, or when he isn't. My assumption in this case would be something on the lines of "gomu gomu no strong pistol", "gomu gomu no strong bazooka", etc.
Or if he will simply use AH all the time in his attacks from now on, and the names of the attacks are gonna stay the same.
I hope you don't post depressing things that in the future
Nothing to be depressed about, lets celebrate the initiation of new nakama Hancock!
I was wondering woulth franky upgrade the sunny to be able to go on land like with some kind of wheels or someting like a hovercraft style?
Just can't w8 for the next chapter it's gonne be a blast**!**

I guess you're right regarding all three. Also, I actually like how versatile most of the straw hats are in the use of their abilities.
Not sure about the electric instruments. Plugs tend not to be available everywhere. Maybe he can make a deal with Nami.. (-;
I'd definitely prefer him using actual instruments though. Apoo should stay unique with the ability to use his body for music.
Main reason for not seeing him fencing, was that we didnt see him involved in a fight yet. Just wondering if he'll do it if the need comes up.
So Sanji spent 2 years fighting the namakas? who would not even give him a minute to rest. That doesn't seem 2 years worth of time. Except learning recipes, I wonder if maybe he got trained by Ivankov.
Luffy got Rayleigh and Zoro got Mihawk.
??? He had to beat 99 Okam masters to get the recipes. And was chased night and day… That was hardcore training and who knows if Iva was one of them as well
Rifle? With Gear 3? I'm not sure his bones retain the stretching power to twist quite that much while they're blown up like that =.="
he's already done that multiple times.

Please, if hancock joins, i will become very mad! she should stay in her corner and weep (with the other fangirls).
i thought it was great in the beginning how Luffy completely, bluntly, tells hancock that he wouldn't marry her. that made me happy.
Usopp become bad ass, he more confident now, even declare himself as warrior. What added is he escape the dangerous meat-eating island and return back to Saboady which Rayliegh stated it not and easy feat.
Which bring to the question is he still immune to Perona's Ghost?
Awesomness. I loved how everybody tured out. I especially love the fact that Nico Robin is on the run again. Why do I get the feeling that she screwed over the revolutionaries/stoles some super secret technique or something and made a break for it :) I can't wait to see them in action :)

But is this wednesday or is this some leaked chapter and we will have to go through the nightmare of waiting for the nearly two weeks?
I can't wait to see that guy pretending to be Luffy get his butt kicked! LOL! I'm glad Luffy didn't change too much. He's still got that "cuteness" to him. Shocking to think that he's 19 now. Does anyone know how old Ace was when he died?
The Will of D. lives!!
Does anyone know how old Ace was when he died?
Wasn't Ace 3 years older than Luffy so he would of been 20 when he died.
