This is the chapter I have been waiting for, 598 and 601 are definitely my favorite of the PTS chapters. Finally get to see meaningful action from crewmates(totally called it being the monster trio who fought pacifistas) Loved the humiliation of Fluffy and the banter between Zorro and Sanji. No One Piece fan could have possibly held in a grin in when Luffy declared his dream again after 2 years. Was a bit put off by Sanji using Diablo for the Pacifista, was hoping for them to use less (for lack of a better word)'amazing' abilities. Maybe this means he has newer moves surpassing Diablo? Hope so ^_^ Was almost put off by Luffy using Gear 2, but when i noticed it was only in his one arm, I felt better(: must be pretty boss when he goes full body G2. Happily surprised that Coribou and Karibu(?) were not taken out by Straw Hats. Would have been a waste of character development. Well Im done rambling, gunna go read it again!!

Milquetoast … u got..THE.FUCKING.MOST.EPIC.PIC.OF.ALl.TIME

Rayleigh(2° of Gol D. Roger) and Zoro(2° of Monkey D. Luffy) have the same scar, one on the left eye one on the right one… :getlost:
Oda showed it clearly ... :getlost: -
Wasn't Kenshin using the dull side of his blade so as to not kill anyone because he turned from an Awe inspiring Gangsta to a big pussy who apparently dies from plagues and a yeast infection…..?
I dunno...yes I do :happy:Hey! I just started reading that. Don't spoil me!
And he did not either turn into a pussy. He decided to stop killing after being a cold blooded assasin. Totally different.
Oh yes it is! Is too! (stamps foot) Mods! Sage is picking on me. LOL
back to Zoro–I agree that the story of how he ended up back first needs to be told--especially since he keeps harping on it. I would bet the answer is going to turn out to be something embarrassing that he assumed noone would ever learn, and will be good for quite some time for comedic moments between Zoro an Sanji...

I still want to see Robin make full body blossoms. It would work and they wouldn't be naked, devil fruits work with clothing.
I also want to see Buggy chop down to the molecular level.

Her sprouted parts need something to anchor against. Even if she made another body it wouldn't be able to move away from wherever it was made.

Would still make good decoys, as far as I'm concerned. I like the idea of Robin learning Rokushiki, though it won't happen. 100 Blossom Shigan would be awesome.

@Cloud:
Im of the opinion that there no longer is a weak trio. Everyone is going to be legendary in their own right. And be almost equally respected and feared throughout the OP world.
Obviously after the time skip all the crew got stronger as a fighter and with their own special skills/job. I agree with you that they would be legendary, of course they would if Luffy would be the Pirate King. IN my opinion they would always be the monster trio. Although the weak trio have gotten stronger the monster trio would always be the main fighters of the group plus Franky. The others would be legendary but probably from their job skills. Chopper as one of the greatest doctor, Nami greatest navigator, etc..

wth is up with you? cut those prejudicial, ignorant uses of words you use incorrectly out man
You, sir, are not fit to make any comments about others and their use of literary accoutrements.
This is why we love you. Not only are you an awesome mom, you're also badass. I tip my fedora to you, Mamabeard.
On-topic:
Just hoping that Marine doesn't live after getting shot like that. It's way more bloody and gruesome than the kind of violence that's usually in One Piece. at least that's what it seems like to me personally.Anyone else thinking something is gonna go wrong when they submerge? After teasing us with Fishmen Island this long, I hope they go straight there with no side tangents, but something usually does go wrong. I'm reminded of the scene in Alabasta where everyone (but Zoro and Smoker) are freaking out cuz of water rising while they're stuck in the cage.

Im guessing there would be some sort of naval blockade or chase and Franky would showcase Sunny's new weapon upgrades to escape to Fishman island. Kind of like what they did to escape Garp and Aokiji at Water 7! At least that is what I'm hoping. We have seen some changes on most of the crew I'm excited to see Sunny's upgrade too.

My one persistent worry though is that the inherent nature of the mission has now changed. Previously, the crew were a group of individualistically motivated people grouped together because their dreams were compatible. Now we have Usopp already having accomplished his goal to be a "Strong Warrior of the Sea." Zoro, who once threatened to disembowel Luffy if he got in the way of his ambition, has now swallowed his pride to become stronger for Luffy sake, not Kuina's. Sanji went through Okama hell for two years only because Luffy needed him. Nami cried because she couldn't be there to help luffy through a rough period.
Instead of Luffy sacrificing himself for the crew, as he had so many times along the course of this series, the crew has now subordinated their lifelong ambitions to Luffy's. I suppose this makes them a more tightly bound group than ever, but it might also mean that the story going forward will be more Luffy centric. It will be Luffy + supporting cast. I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I don
t think that you have to worry that much about the last part of the story being now to Luffy focused when you don
t think the first part was already.The whole story is based on Luffy and i first was confused that after the seperation we were focused only on Luffys adventure and not something else first.
But non the less i think that the seperation was actually a good way to bring the other crew members more into the focus now after the timeskip.(guess we have to wait to prove that, but thats also the case for your point of view)Those two years of time for themself actually made them realize that they sure have individual dreams but only as a combined group they`re able to fulfill them.
Every chara of the crew always had his dream but more or less (besides Zoro) it was something they may do or may don`t do in the next 10-20 yrs.
Luffy was the guy who gave them rly the opportunity to actually not just dream about their dreams.no he made them hunt those dreams.Over the journey they realized that all their individual dreams are rly possible and are one piece of the biggest dreams.(Luffys one)
So to achieve their dream they help Luffy achieving his dream.
And after time this big dream became their own big dream..to help the guy who actually already realized their dreams..the chance to hunt their individual dream.The timeskip gave every SH a lot time to grow on his own.
Each has now own people he knows around the world…each chara has now storys and skills the other crewmembers(and for sure also us readers) will discover over the time.
We never lost their individual chara..with that timeskip we became even more depth for each crewmember. -

Kind of like what they did to escape Garp and Aokiji at Water 7! At least that is what I'm hoping. We have seen some changes on most of the crew I'm excited to see Sunny's upgrade too.
That makes sense. After all, there's a lot of parallels going on here. It's gonna be so awesome. Just think, before the upgrades, Sunny had GAON CANNON. and now it's gonna be like 1000X better than that. I definitely hope to see more lasers and heat-seeking missiles/underwater torpedoes. and I expect the Shark Submerge will also be able to dive deeper and be modified so that Franky can still fit inside it.
-
Such a fun chapter.
Fluffy owned.
The shock from the Marines and Fodder Pirates.I'm very happy to see that Luffy's Gear Second, Sanji's DJ are instant attacks now. I'm also assuming that Zoro used his steel cutting move instantly as well. And that he's now able to use all swords for it. His Ashura attack must be completely devastating now, or maybe changed?
-

she doesnt move when she attacking anyway.

I think Oda will stick to his words. Ussop will still be the weakest strawhat. He can't even one shot the super weak fake luffy. I know he's now cool and all but he is still the weakest.

no way man that no longer applies and he could definitely stronger than that fake asshole luffy.

I love all the build up to the pacifista's owning the straw hats and at the Marine HQ war showing how powerful the goverment weapon is. Then Luffy, Sanji and Zoro completing destroying them Was best part of the chapter for me.

Seems like the pacifistas will be almost completely useless outside of the first few islands of the new world, if I were the government I would station them on the first half of the grand line to get rid of future threats.
-

Then what's the purpose of a decoy? She suffers the damage of her sprouted parts, so two targets standing still that both damage the original seems like just a danger.

You know, there's a number of senior members that have influenced the newer users into being absolute a-holes.
Don't think that weak arguments and a bad-attitude work for everyone. And while some members will try to put you down every chance they get, if you ignore them you can still be a good-natured individual. This is of course assuming that this wasn't your original disposition when you came here.
If it was then never mind.

Furtunately I do….
Nah not really, but I remembered this because it was something that bothered myself at one point.
http://somemangas.com/alt/One_Piece/503/citymanga.com/11/LOL! Usopp took out a Tenryuubito and apologized. That never gets old. Oh, and I think Robin saw those guys first then used clutch. The "clutch" happens after she grows the arms out of the body. She could have saw them first, used her DF, turned, and then said "clutch."

Actually Kenshin uses a Sakabatou, which means a reverse sided sword, it was a special sword made to him so he could still use his techniques.
He never used the dull side of the sword, he used a dull sword, with the sharp on the reversed side.
Zoro on the other hand has used the dull side of his sword to prevent killing people, like in Whiskey Peak
-
Notice Vista and the rest of WBs division commanders werent able to One-shot any pacifista during the war…..1up for Zoro and Sanjii
The fact that Luffy took out a pacifista like that means not many people will be able to take a haki jet pistol and survive. We know how ridiculously strong the pacifistas bodies are.
Lets see Kizaru try to absorb Luffy's attack unaware of his new skills, Kizaru would have a REALLY bad day

with this being said, i really can't imagine kizaru with a seriuos face right now. hes always been so relaxed, it just doesn't seem that kizaru will fight luffy with all his might =\

Rofl, I know, right? I mean, imagine him having the same face as Enel did when he first discovered Luffy wasn't vulnerable to his electricity-based attacks; although, I doubt Kizaru would ever make a face like that, actually, but it would still be interesting to see how he would react if Luffy actually did land a haki-infused "Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol" on him and he was just sent flyin', lol…I mean, it just seems like his face can't break out of its you-are-too-insignificant-to-take-seriously kind of expression, buuh...O_o
-
Man, I am for one actually glad that Oda didn't buy into all that chapter 600 fan-hype and decided to do these events for chapter 601. It' very appropriate to title this chapter (601) "Romance Dawn For The New World" because exactly 600 chapters ago when had the first "Romance Dawn". This combined with the fact that in both chapters Luffy OHKO his opponent with the Pistol attack and declared to be Pirate King at the end is very clever of Oda.
Also…..

Where do you have ever seen the likes as Vista, Marco or any other going against the PX? The fodder back in the court where fighting them.
And Luffy owned him fast yeah… But it was a PX, a mindless cyborg without DF, wihtout haki and without fighting abilities as dodging or counter attacking probably.
And now people assume that Luffy is near admiral level already... LOL

Your right he isnt but he is strong enough to defend himself from one. Defend not injure.
-
I think it's funny that everyone is talking about Luffy "what if" fighting Kizaru when we all know it wont happen for a long long long time.
More importantly, we're about to see them all make there way to fish man island. We've been waiting for this since 2007. Like seriously I'm fucking excited to see this place it better be a long ass arc.

Although I doubt he will be as strong as an admiral, I kinda wish he was, that wold leave a whole lot more room for adventure and keep the fighting to a minimum.

Wait how would less fighting make OP like bleach? I don't follow it closely but it seams to me that there has been non stop fighting for the past couple of years in bleach.
Or do you mean that luffy becoming so strong during the TS would be boring? I wasn't thinking of luffy suddenly owning every one, I was thinking of luffy spending much less time fighting and more time exploring, making friends, finding treasure, maybe doing some piraty things.
It's that kind of stuff I like in OP, my favorite bits of OP are the first part of each arc, then it get's into the fighting and that's fun too but just not nearly as much fun.

LOL! Oh, and I think Robin saw those guys first then used clutch. The "clutch" happens after she grows the arms out of the body. She could have saw them first, used her DF, turned, and then said "clutch."
The Question wasn't about Grow on something she didn't saw. I already postet a Pic where she grew a hand on something she could not see.
@Hyza:I think you misunderstood the if I can see it part.
Robin wanted to say: I can catch what I see. And not: I can only grow limbs on things I see.
For example when Usopp was drowning in Skypeia http://somemanga.com/alt/One_Piece/237/citymanga.com/8/ she grew an Eye on Luffys Hand without beeing able to see the part where she grew her hand.So I guess it's more like a: I need to know where I have to grow it.
–--
And by the way: She usually lowers her head and CLOSES her eyes when she uses her power.Then Semil asked if Robin had ever grown something behind her.
And if you are not happy with the Tenriubyto, how about this:
http://somemangas.com/alt/One_Piece/510/citymanga.com/11/I would say this demonstrates sufficiently, that Robin doesn't need to SEE where she wants to grow things. But i'm not sure if she has to know exacly where she should grow or if a rough estimate is enough. (First pic suggests that a rough estimate is enough).

If unaware, few stand a chance. With Kenbunshoku Haki though, and most of the stronger pirates and vice admirals and above marines have it, it'll be something similar to Aohige quake punch Akainu – damage BUT reduced.
And Sentoumaru just witnessed Luffy's Kenbunshoku.. we all know, marines are notorious with information dissemination and management.
-
Well Kizaru didn't even change his I am bored at this school theater performance-Face during his fight with Rayleigh. And Rayleigh was on par with Kizaru. So I doubt he will change his Face while fighting Luffy.
Regarding Fishman Island: DAMN, After all this waiting I know how Sanji must feel… The Horror, the Horror...
Just imagine: they go underwater and when they finally reach Fishman Island there's a big sign that reads:**Currently Closed due to the Bi-Yearly Inspection and Restauration of the City-Coating
We thank you for your understanding.**
