Ha Sanji cracked me upXD
I like how the focus seems to be shifting to Nami. Very appropriate given where they are.

Also I can't believe people are sick of Sanji's nosebleed shit, because Oda keeps one-upping each joke. This chapter actually had me laughing for like entire minutes.
Exactly! i didn't laugh at the nosebleed joke for the past few chapter. But this chapter made me laugh for a while. The joke has gotten better not stale.
they did react, 4 of them nami brook usopp and chopper did. sanji's new trait can't be annoying, its part of the character now (or for now)…hating this trait means u hate sanji. i wouldn't mind a few less skull jokes lol
I must hate sanji because I am sick of it. I am getting sick of 4-5 panels each chapter focusing on this pointless issue.
I also don't think Arlong will be the boss of the new fishmen. It does seem odd they would have the tattoo, I can only think that either he is a bit of a matyr/the tattoo is a symbol of a new way of dealing with humans/Arlong has a swordfish relative who could be the boss. I would imagine it is more the second one. Really hoping for a very different fishman island as a consequence of WB's death and the Saboady incident, resulting in a more black and white, harsher, crueler attitude to non fishmen that the SH's will have to overcome.

its not pointless. this is an attribute of his. this means that there are going to be certain sitautions where he will not be able to do anything at all. hating this is like hating people who are powerless in oceans with DF. this is the exact same thing when he was vs kalifa, just on a bigger scale. this could lead to certain ways of fighting for him. such as, they just might have to blindfold him for him to fight, and we'll witness somethng amazing. the fact that this is emphasized in every single chapter since his rearrival shows its a big thing. might as well hate luffy for his childness, brook for his skull jokes, chopper for his lack of understanding, usopp for his scaredness, nami for her greediness, zoro for his lack of direction, franky for his stupid inventions/add-ons, and robin for her hardcore imagination
@don
well Usopp said in 596 that for Luffy to become Pirate King he is going to become a true"King of Snipers"
Ohh,forgot that scene.
But i dont think this title rly exists in the world of OP. It
s just like best navigator or best doctor.
It is more an issue about being famous for your skill in that subject.
I get the impression it is more of a temporary hang up from the okama island and that he will be rehabilitated at some point soon. I don't massively like it, but I did think the way he had a brief bleed from guilt and then talked about death>no mermaids was well done
I'd rather have a Fishwoman.
I guess the mermaids and fishwomen are same thing. Do you remember kokoro? She was able to trasform herself in woman and mermaid everytime she wanted.
correct me if I'm wrong. :happy:

LOL, okay. A person's perversion should only go so far, him laughing in a weird manner because of the things he is thinking of doing with other girls, sure whatever. Him nosebleeding every two fucking sentences seems excessive to me.
This is in no way like any of the other things you mentioned. All those things you mentioned have been there since the beginning of each of their respective introduction. They are a fundamental basis for each of those things you raised. Having a nosebleed every 2 seconds is in no way comparable to that.
Yes, even the Franky thing, as soon as you saw him get to Vegapunk's Island it was imminent that he would get upgrades to tools, not liking his new physical appearance is a personal preference, and it is up to the individual.
If you really think a blindfold is going to be the solution to this pointless nosebleed repetitive, LOL, I can't say anything else on that.
You do realize him seeing women like that is not the issue. It is that he imagines them in his head in such a manner that he gets nosebleeds. That Kalifa thing is self-explanatory, he will not hit women, you know whatever, I'm all for that, this in no way compares to that.
Whether it will be a major plot point or not, it makes the chapters seriously annoying when I see it. This is the kind of repetitive shit that can start lowering the quality of writing by a author.
Oda has overused this aspect of Sanji and needs to stop. This shit is just getting ridiculous.

I will agree with this point. Since the first two (yes I randomly put this down) nosebleeds, it's been the only one.
I guess the mermaids and fishwomen are same thing. Do you remember kokoro? She was able to trasform herself in woman and mermaid everytime she wanted.
correct me if I'm wrong. :happy:
I don't think they are. Didn't Hacchi have a girlfriend? She was a fishwoman. Different to Kokoro who is certainly a mermaid, just her age (?) affects her ability to form her tail or walk like a human.

aite, iguess we each have personal beliefs then. last thing i wanna say is the blindfold thing was an example. it was just an example meant to demonstrate the possilibty of a correction, i'm not Oda i dont know what kind of fix will happen. also, i'm sure this nosebleed thing will go away soon, but int he sake of argument, assuming this nosebleed thing continues tot he end of One piece, by then u'll have accepted it cause it would be part of him for the next 600 chapters, which by then u'll understand how similar it is to the rest of what i've said. repetitive work is done all over one piece, its almost the basis of One Piece. what i dont see is how you haven't hated one piece yet due to ur hate to repetitive shit

Why would anyone hate one piece? :cwy:
Now that just sad. :ninja:

Hacchi said that he had a girlfriend? mmm…I don't remember this...
I always thought that he loved kayme...
anyway...If he said that his girlfriend is a fishwoman then, my point is wrong.
Hacchi said that he had a girlfriend? mmm…I don't remember this...
I always thought that he loved kayme...
aren't they like 10-20 years apart in age haha what does that mean? PEar-DOor-PHone-I-LEnd
[other stuff removed] what i dont see is how you haven't hated one piece yet due to ur hate to repetitive shit
I most likely haven't hated it in the past because I started reading this over the past summer AFTER I watched the entire anime.
Now that I have to wait for chapters week by week I have more of a chance to critically look over recently released chapters. Now that something repetitive happens I have a lot of time to think about it rather then before, where if it happened, it wasn't the main focus of my reading, and I didn't pay much attention to it.
I have read over it again a few times (2-3 probably, and watched anime again probably same amount of time) and have enjoyed it thoroughly each time, this is not normal with most stories so yeah.
Most of it is pretty good, this nosebleed thing is really annoying, for me personally. However, if not much else changes and becomes as bad as repetitive nosebleeds, whatever, I will ignore nosebleed panels.
Chapter was great. People in the discussion threads are still saying stupid things. Everything is right with the world.
That attack Usopp had was a long ass title.
Hacchi said that he had a girlfriend? mmm…I don't remember this...
I always thought that he loved kayme...anyway...If he said that his girlfriend is a fishwoman then, my point is wrong.
I believe it was part of Hacchi's adventures on the covers, check out one piece wikia for fishmen and you will see a pic of her, I think she is called something beginning with Oct
Worst case scenario would be if they discovered that all mermaids are old hags.
That would cure nosebleed in not time.
aren't they like 10-20 years apart in age haha what does that mean? PEar-DOor-PHone-I-LEnd

well, you know…love hasn't age.

The nosebleeds (as we all know) are from Sanji going women dry for two years. Oda wrote all these in so the reader could empathize with what he's going through/has been through. The gradual, consistent improvement is a result of the fact that Oda is good at characterization. His improvement will continue to be gradual and consistent, so prepare yourself.
You guys are talking about Octopako. She wasn't Hatchan's girlfriend, he was in love with her, but she got angry and went away after he took the Takoyaki she wanted and gave it to the catfish boss.
Nice chapter, loved Sanji's gag, lol.
Fishman Island looks awesome, Hammong looks pretty badass and cool.
Robin holding herself when the vulcano erupted was really cute. XD
Argh, i really can't comment on about because i feel kinda dizzy after reading, lol.

Thanks for confirming that, couldn't remember the specifics!
Just enjoy the Sanji nosebleed for what it is and move on. A gag. I would admit, I too find it mildly annoying but when he was on his death bed this chapter I couldn't stop myself for laughing. It shows that even Sanji himself acknowledges it as his weakness that could eventually lead to his demise (which would never happen but at least he knows he has to find some middle ground for himself).
Speaking of character gags Zoro is taking his role as Luffy's "BodyGuard" to a whole new level. His new strength and rejuvenated sense of devotion towards luffy is pretty kool. Zoro was never the type to cower in fear or doubt his ability but now he just seems soo fearless in the face of adversity that it shows that he's stronger as ever and I cant wait for his battle.
FI looks breathe taking.. still cant really figure out exactly whats going on in that bubble though (I see clouds in the bubble, but is there also a horizon and ocean I see within as well?) and Luffy's carefree attitude is always fun/ While everyone was going "NOOO" " AHHH" due to the volcano he had we "WEEEEEEE!!!" look, lmao. Since the flying Dutchman dissappeared and we know have the threatening new fishman pirates in front of luffy K guess we'll be seeing Captain Van a little later witht he SHs in a different type of situation?
Next Stop: Seeing Uncle Jinbei. I wonder how much Power/Respect he gets from his people?
the law says otherwise :ninja:
well, just If she is a minor. haha
anyway…I didn't remember octopako. So, exist type of fishwomen different by the mermaids.
mmm...I want still a fishwoman/mermaid in the crew . Especially with Sanji in these conditions.

No. Not having it. It's annoying enough already.

for a mermaid to be in their crew, the mermaid would have eto be able to walk on land. so….what that means is they are about to have a really old mermaid in the crew...u sure thats what u want? becareful what you wish for

30 isn't THAT old. Robin is 30 and she looks perfectly fine to me.

Did he say he will be there (2 years ago before departing from luffy in amazon lili?)
@Lee:
30 isn't THAT old. Robin is 30 and she looks perfectly fine to me.
oh they split at the age of 30? i had forgotten the details so i wasn't sure of the age, i thoguht they would have to be kokoro's age….ugh. mermaid would make sense, it fits the hot girls part of the group, which rite now only has 2. the fastest swimming type would be a great addition to the group. possibly an olympian mermaid? who's a bit more masculine than feminine? luffy in a mermaid's body basically?
for a mermaid to be in their crew, the mermaid would have eto be able to walk on land. so….what that means is they are about to have a really old mermaid in the crew...u sure thats what u want? becareful what you wish for
well…probably, there are some young mermaids that have learned to walk as kokoro...and however, Franky could resolve these problems.
hell its about time, fishman island at last! drawing quality seemed a lot better than other chapters in my opinion. really enjoyed it. XD
Did he say he will be there (2 years ago before departing from luffy in amazon lili?)
I would love to quote the chapter but I am short on time atm….. I vaguely remember him in the ocean looking up at Luffy, Releigh etc as he bid them farewell while mentioning to them he should return to FI now to see whats up because he knows things will get rough for them with WB gone an all. Didn't he say he would be waiting on the day after 2 years when he will see how much Luffy has grown at the FI? Not to mention since Jinbei is now wanted where else would he, a powerful Fishman once Shichibukai, go to seek refuge?
Still don't understand how people can be so annoyed at Sanji's nosebleeds but haven't shown annoyance at Brook's skull jokes.
I'm fine with both, but Brook's jokes have been used far too much in the time he has been around (which is much longer than Sanji's nosebleeds have been shown, and I predict he will control them sooner or later, unlike the skull jokes which will probably carry on until the end of One Piece).
Awesome chapter is awesome.
-Wah, the Dutchman is fucking huge! Its first appearance didn't really give the impression that it was this colossal. Looking forward to seeing them, along with Wadatsumi and Ankoro, again.
-Even as a Sanji fan I have to admit the nosebleeds are getting a bit annoying, but that's just me not getting used to it yet. I do love his deathbed scene, though; really cracked me up.
-Nice Usopp powerup showcase. Awaiting Brook's moment to shine.
-Luffy was high the whole chapter, lol
-Meranimals as large as Surume, neat stuff.
-I really like the fishmen pirates' design, especially the lionfish one. Also, I never noticed that the octopus merman was actually a "merman" or "manfish" until someone mentioned it in the thread. I didn't notice the octopus legs on my first read. Really cool.
Can't wait for the crew to enter Fishman Island next week. FINALLY! I've waited FIVE YEARS, Oda!
Kokoro explains that Mermaids' tails split when they reach 30 in chapter 424, so I'm kinda hoping for an immature 35-year old mermaid who originally hates humans, but has her beliefs changed by Luffy (Hancock much?). This could lead to gags involving the DF-users constantly ending up in the water, much to her amusement.
About the chapter: Surume runs weird xD Not much respect from Robin. Finally Usopp shows us some of his new abilities, though I wonder why he came up with a seaweed attack. Did he actually think of an attack that he thought would be useful in FI ahead of time?
Seeing that Seagiraffe made me miss Kaku…
"No way! Morons!" :D
I have not read the previous pages.
No chapter next week ?
If that's the case then

^I think Brennen mentioned in the spoiler thread that the break will be after 609. My memory sucks, though, so don't quote me on this one.

The gradual, consistent improvement is a result of the fact that Oda is good at characterization. His improvement will continue to be gradual and consistent, so prepare yourself.
Not only that but, it's just a running joke when it comes down to it. Doesn't really seem worth this much discussion.
Volcano shot was great. The kraken was great. Usopp saving the day way great. (Especially the panel where Zoro silently acknowledged the fact that Usopp had grown to be able to do such a thing and was proud of him.) And the reveal shot of FI at long last, surrounded by sea kings. Also great.
Oda's clearly having a ton of fun with drawing crazy fish designs (like we all knew he would). Even Sanji's lack of women nosebleed running gag that isn't all that funny is actually managing to still work, Oda's putting enough variety into it. (Its funnier for Chopper's reaction more than Sanji doing it.) And not even to the island yet and already we're back to the Arlong pirates and Nami having issues with it. (I like the design of the new long necked eel guy)
Oda's having fun and its showing on every page. The whole crew together, all of them doing something in every panel… This is what OP is all about.
I'm looking through the previous discussion threads and everyone is so anticipating the crew going directly to Fishman Island after their first visit to Sabaody two years ago. It's kinda funny.

Funny how things change. Oda threw a nice curveball to things didn't he?

A wonderful curveball. People are also going on about how "people don't die in One Piece" and how they KNOW "Oda won't kill Ace."
Just brilliant I say.

Well he didn't. Ace is Law.
And Sabo is Law.
yup, hancock was an absolute filler.
Hancock still hates men. She only loves Luffy and likes Rayleigh. Everyone else she hates.
Plus, if you say it would be the same as Hancock, why do you want Oda to repeat something he did one arc ago? Especially seeing as it would both be about slavery.
And we already had the "hating humans, then learning to trust them"-crewmate with Chopper.
One of those sea kings was from the epic Calm Belt panel from chapter 101ish. Kickass.
The anticipation of fishman Island has been building for so many years. This arc will be the most captivating yet!
My foresight tells me before the crew coup de bursts, franky will shine his nipple lights, which will blind the interlopers before jettisoning.
