Chapter 685:
-
Yay, now I can sleep

Read here: http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/685
Note: Momonosuke speaks in an old fashioned Japanese way
-
That color spread.
-
Thanks!!!
-
"Trick or meat": that's hilarious
-
Momonosuke smiley - :ninja:
-
Wow that was an AMAZING CHAPTER. I have to agree with Aohige, Momo really has that crew-esque like banter. Loved the dialogue it was hilarious. Seeing Monet's eyes I think she is actually evil and her telling Luffy that Dofla would kill him was either a lie or she doesn't care.
-
Awesome chapter! So Momonosuka ate a failed DF and Monet is a Logia.
-
That frankystein lol
-
oh my god! I really love Robins hat in the colorspread
-
Wow, what a chapter. First off, best dialogue in the entire arc between Luffy and Momonosuke, at least for me. It was funny, we got to know new things and Luffy is finally pissed, CC is pretty much doomed now. Smoker is more than holding his own against Vergo (like i said, Vergo was hyped too much, everything is gonna be put into perspective). Law is already awake, thus he has finally the chance to get his heart back.
It is interesting that Robin wants Seastone Padlocks, is it for capturing CC, Monet or for something else?
The only thing i did not like was Monet turning out to be a Logia and that Zoro has to fight her now. -
Yeah, Monet's even further removed from crew material than she was in 683. Though I am looking forward to her fight–she's got the most interesting character design I've seen in a while, and I always like seeing intelligent evil characters (though I wonder why she thinks she can take 4 SH when she knew she couldn't beat Luffy in a stand-up fight). I wonder if she is actually a Logia like Zoro said or if her snow-based powers are because of a yuki-themed devil fruit (snow spirit in Japanese folklore, and most things she's done so far fit). It wouldn't be hard to mistake the two, since Yuki's can transform into snow. Though if she is a logia, the tournament pairing of her and Kuzan was an amazing coincidence.
Also, is Momonusuke supposed to be in black-face? Because that's the impression I got from him in his flashback. It just seems weird to show things like lips and eyes but have the rest of his body solid black.
-
Man made zoan? Monet is a logia? Good lord this chapter discussion is going to explode
-
thanks! off to read!
-
Looking forward to seeing Zoro versing a formidable opponent
-
It is interesting that Robin wants Seastone Padlocks, is it for capturing CC, Monet or for something else?
I assume so. She is one of the few crew members with any kind of actual foresight, and probably figured out they'd need them. They'd also be nice and handy to just take with them afterwards anyway.
-
I assume the challenge for him will be cutting up those multi-layer snow walls, plus Monet is obviously an intelligent fighter.
-
I want Zoro's basket for Halloween…
-
Great chapter.
Didnt get the part of the chapter where doflamingo was supposed to come up according to the spoilers. Looked more like momonosuke having delusions of caesar's face from not eating anything and then being hit by luffy , than someone actually mind controlling him?
-
And finally, Luffy is invested in whats going on.
Thank you Oda. My interest in this arc has finally re-reached the level it had when the arc started. -
Awesome chapter. Robin's hat in the color spread looks like a cross between Saldeath's and Hody's, and it looks great on her (also, Frankystein is awesome). Luffy telling Momonosuke that he doesn't know how he should transform back into a human, since he's not a Zoan was pretty funny to me. And now Luffy's mad, so hopefully it'll mean he'll start taking shit a little more seriously. Confirmation on Devil Fruits is always good, and now we know that they can be created by Vegapunk (and possibly Caesar). Smoker is still kicking some traitor ass, which rules and has been a long time coming. As for Zoro fighting Monet… eh, I guess it's cool that he has the Haki for it, but Zoro's fights have never been all that interesting to me. Still, Monet definitely seems like she'll be a more difficult opponent than Hyozou, so that's a plus. Also, what was up with Momo seeing Doflamingo's silhouette when he was delirious from hunger? The questions just never end...
-
What a great chapter, it had all it needed to have. I love Momonosuke, and thanks to him now Luffy's got a good reason to kick Caesar's ass, which is a pleasure, because i've seen a lot of people complaining about the lack of emotional investment on this arc ( don't misunderstand me, i like it like this too, i wasn't against he kicking Clown's ass without a personal reason, but i agree with that people that it's better this way ).
Btw, is Brook crying on the colorspread, or is it just paint? I know it's a stupid question, but i haven't got a good sight.
PD: Why, God? Why do they have to put stupid jokes at the end of the chapters? <.<
-
Maybe the Devil fruit Momosuke ate was made with Doflamingo's cells and that's why he's connected with him and saw him….......
It's me or Sad is an element that can create Synthetic devil fruits?
-
momonosuke seems to create clouds that he climbs on to "fly"
-
It was a nice chapter with interesting information (man-made DF, Monet DF, DF illusion)
Let's hope that we will have a chapter next week as well! -
The Momonosuke flashback was dragged on a little. I would've taken a few pages away for some Smoker vs. Vergo action.
Very awesome that the fruits were revealed. Zoro fighting a logia is going to be interesting and can't wait to see his haki utilization since that is the only way he'll be able to fight against her. Momonosuke with an artificial DF? Meaning, our friend Vegapunk, has the ability to create a DF? It's beyond me why Oda would introduce such a device but we'll see.
Oh yeah. The Halloween color page was awesome! Loved it.
9.9/10 chapter for me.
-
Brook is crying because he's afraid of ghosts
-
This chapter demands at least ten times of rereading.
Awesome.
I love Momonosuke already.
-
"Trick or meat" and "Beer or Whiskey" .
Too bad we don't get a "Gold or Money" from Nami.
I think with this chapter the set up is finally over.
Time to get serious fights -
-That color spread has got to be one of the best ever. Halloween ftmfw
-Really glad Luffy is more interested in things now. Sucks the kids are currently on the path to die though.
-Momonosuke is still :3
-That Doflamingo thing was weird. Wonder what that's about.
-So Monet is a sinister lime-haired harpy chick with logia snow powers who fights with a rapier and can take on Zoro. Oda is gonna have a very hard time coming up with a character more appealing than her.
Pretty good chapter overall, no real complaints from me.
-
Here. Caesar is not funny anymore. Well not that he was a good guy before this, but face he makes when he talks about dying children makes me frown.
And are those giant awls in Monet's talons? Those don't look like rapiers, but some screwdriver-like pointy things.
-
The panels with Momonosuke as a dragon are just such a feast for the eyes; I found the art for the whole chapter to be about 10% above normal.
"Is Momonosuke stuck somewhere over here and talking through farts…?" was just yeeees.Here we have one of the darkest in nature panels of One Piece:

@Best:
oh my god! I really love Robins hat in the colorspread
The white and horns made me think of Saladeth
Funny howm Luffy, Brook, Chopper were simly wearing pumpkins with their hats on top..in Chopper's case a hat on top of his hat on top of pumpkin lol
Sanji…can't tell if he's wearing a costume or just a differnt colored suit with a pumpkin hat.
Of the guys, Zoro, Franky & Usopp are oonly ones in a real costume. I like Usopp's werewolfGreat chapter.
Didnt get the part of the chapter where doflamingo was supposed to come up according to the spoilers. Looked more like momonosuke having delusions of caesar's face from not eating anything and then being hit by luffy , than someone actually mind controlling him?
I agree. I can see why some would think its Doflo due to the eyes looking same shape of his sunglasses, but to me it looks like a distorted Ceaser's face. It fits since he was thinking of Ceaser just before that and one of his facial expressions was near that contorsion.
I cropped the two pics and will post soon.Interesting that Usopp went off with Kinemon & Brook.
edit= heres the pic comparign the two faces=

@The:
Brook is crying because he's afraid of ghosts
That's what i thought at first, but like i said i haven't got a good sight, and the tears look like eyes, so i wasn't sure about it. Thanks for the confirmation
-

They look like giant ice picks to me.
-
nice chapter, and Doflamingo's everywhere. Wonder what his connection to Momonosuke or Samurai country is. Momo's gonna do something, revenge against Doflamingo? of course he is too weak (i assume) then as a Samurai/father, Kinemon ("as a samurai I cannot allow my son to take this revenge by himself!") will hunt Dofla and join the crew. voila, new crewmate. lol :))
-
Notice the considerable amount of blood on Smoker's face. The fight isn't one-sided from the looks of it.
-
lol
brook is the pumpkin king!!!!
-
lol
brook is the pumpkin king!!!!
Oda really loves that movie, doesn't he?
Anyway, I think it was definitely Doflamingo who Momo saw.
Those look exactly like Dofla's glasses, and the face doesn't have the lipstick that Caesar has. -
Oh, and I just noticed that Caesar has a color scheme now(unless I missed it being revealed somewhere else), judging by the Shonen Jump cover. Much better than the colors I had in my imagination.

http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/Katzztar/685MonoCCorDoflo.pngMomonosukes hallucination doesn't have black lips, and a pretty clear bridge of the glasses across Doflas nose. Most likely he met Dofla during the abduction/got abducted by him, and got scared shitless.
Further setting up for the father-son duo to be the New Worlds Vivis to Doflamingos Crocodile. -
Guys, on the colour-cover, on one of the graves you can see the name JOCK.
Is this a connection to Sabo?
-

http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc415/Katzztar/685MonoCCorDoflo.pngNow that I looked at it again, it's definetely Doflamingo. Those are sunglasses , not eyes.

Finally! Been dying like crazy to get this chapter out!!
Pretty fun chapter, the more the chapters the more I just know we are getting closer and closer to the Dof arc, which I can't wait for.
Do you think the kid is being controlled by Dof? That'd make things twice more intresting.
Yes!! Luffy getting serious, love it when Luffy gets ticked and gets into butt kicking mode, Cc was pretty much doomed from the start but now hes going to get crushed like nothingZoro V.S Monet?? Finally, guys going to do some thing this arc. I was honestly annoyed how Zoro was just sitting back and letting the others handle things for the past few chapters, now Monet has gone and done it. Shes just lucky she didn't meet up with serious Luffy yet, bad enough shes up against Zoro poor thing doesn't know what she has in store for her. What do you mean this is the first girl hes fought? What about Smoker's sidekick um forget her name, though I guess thats not a fight since hes always running away from her due to her looking like his dead friend and all, so this should be intresting, Zoro is no Sanji hey'll kick her butt or at least try to. For once I am intrested in a Zoro fight
Smoker V.S Vergo, wow man hes sending that guy flying. Will Vergo be dead in this arc? Or will they get another round in the Dof arc? Or will Sanji get another shot in that arc? Vergo really is the wild card here, who knows who this guy will be fighting in the end. As it is, I still think hey'll fight Luffy next, maybe not in this arc but in another as hes on Vergo's hit list right?
Poor Robin, was kind of hoping she'd be the one to fight Monet as we can clearly see thats not the case. I hope she gets a good fight out of this though any ways.
Man how I hate waiting for another chapter, waiting is hard :getlost:
Good chapter though, good job Oda.
Really looking forward to how things end in this arc -
It is also interesting that Momo associates pirates with giants. Perhaps Elbaf is nearby?

Giants probably weigh much more than 400kg

I guess you're right, maybe he was talking about Brownbeard, LOL.
-
M'suke is much bigger than I originally thought he looked so small at first
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
mmm http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/685/18 puts up a strong case for Oda changing his style to blackening body parts (and bamboo shoots?:ninja:) to show haki?

or maybe because the samurais were WB's ally
