Only thing that I don't like about full-body CoA hardening is, it feels like Tekkai ver2.0
I want Rokushiki to be fairly unique, so we can see more of its awesomeness in the future. (afterall, VA use them too)
Yes but imagine haki + rokushiki :)

Just to point out, it's not known if Vergo was sent by Doflamingo 'because of Luffy' is it?
In fact it's doubtful he was depending on timescales (how long it takes to get to Punk Hazard from Dress Rosa in a Tanker) - I suppose Geppou from the tanker to the island could speed things up however.
Timescales can't be figured out until the other two arrive.
Other than that - good work
But notice that Doflamingo knew about Law's arrival to Punk Hazard the same day he arrived: Monet told him. But he didn't sent Vergo until some days later… Just after Luffy's arrival. And, if you take in account his speech to Monet and Caesar, ....
!
Well, the other possible reason would be that Doflamingo wanted someone more powerful than Monet paying attention to Shinokuni auction.
Then we would have 2 reasons: Straw hats + shinokuni auction. An explosive situation… "go there Vergo".
i think caesar will combine with shinokuni. And Luffy sucks all of him in acting like a balloon because he is resistant to poison. then franky will build something like a gas chamber which wil hold caesar a prisoner
My hunch is that Doflamingo will merely switch sides in the end.I cannot deny that the birdguy is powerful. However after his speech in MF he strikes me as a "neutral-neutral" character, as long as his "business" is not in peril. Being one of those "Survival of the fittest" preechers, makes me wonder if he might be one of those characters that adjust through the flow of time jumping from the dark side to the good side to the dark once more. His nickname "joker" would fit to the tee his role as a wildcard. Summing to all, Doflamingo seems to be quite cunning and straightforward when decisionmaking appears on the horizon. Proof of it is his response to disco after the auction house incident. So, Being the businessman that he is, he might try to strike a deal if he notices that he can`t beat the enemy (whoever he/she is) by force.
i think caesar will combine with shinokuni. And Luffy sucks all of him in acting like a balloon because he is resistant to poison. then franky will build something like a gas chamber which wil hold caesar a prisoner
I guess Smoker and Tashigi pack their bags with a defeated Vergo/Caesar/Monet. Law removes Caesar's heart to ensure that he won't produce SAD anymore (even if captured, Akainu would use his science to his advantage) and the Straw Hats make their way to Wano. Mixed with some Momo/Kinemon drama.
And of course, Shinokuni is a massive failure. The last thing Caesar will see from Punk Hazard are all the victims being perfectly fine and healthy. The gas merely petrified them for a while, and every NW broker will witness Caesar's incompetence. The last chapter ends with a dramatic "Nooooooo!" combined with a hilarious face, CC style.
Edit: Oh, just the chapter next week. Well, I go with Luffy defeating Caesar effortlessly, that should cover most of the chapter.
Smoker removing Caesar´s heart would be pretty nice to watch. "payback time Mr Scientist, hehehe".
Punk Hazard is just an introduction, (remember Law's speech in this chapter). It could happen that:
1- Straw hats go to Dress Rosa to fight Doflamingo or
2- Straw hats go to Wano country, (to develop the samurai theme also introduced in this arc).
3- Doflamingo lost his mind and go to hunt Law and to recover Caesar
4- Because of the broadcasting transmisition of Shinikuni auction, a powerful character comes to buy Shinokuni and geets involved in Law-Doflamingo's affair.
If, Vergo, Caesar, Monet, Baby5 and Buffalo are just beaten there, and SAD production is stopped, as Law said: "things are going to move fast". Where to…?
But in cases 1 and 2 we could have an unhappy ending.
DJ is not for blocking? Can't remember that he ever blocked with it, against Jabra he even let one of his claws hit him, so he can deliver the finishing blow.
But it would scorch Vergo… Well whatever it was just a little skirmish after all and we don't even know if one of them has used haki or not
To be fair, Vergo wasn't using any special attacks like Rankyaku either.
Vergo was battling Sanji in the same manner as he was with Smoker, who actually had the upper hand early in the battle. (until he decided to go smoke mode to help Law)
It did overall feel like Vergo has an edge over Sanji, although a serious fight with Sanji full CoA DJ on him may have had a different result.
Vergo had the upper hand… No doubts with it. But neither of them went full out.
But I liked the way both fought and would love to see a future fight of them...
But first I wait for the next chapter... Maybe we will see what will happen to Vergo. Kinemon was able to figh just with his torso against Brook. Maybe he will be saved by Buffalo and Baby 5... Vergo and Dofla simply the kid Law thinking there is no way he can overcome Vergo's ability. If Vergo would know it I doubt he would run straight forward at Law.
Still vergo is one hell of an beast... But sadly some people would say it is weak that 1 or 2 arcs later Sanji will have a very hard time with someone who was cut in half by Law in an instant.

That would make all the search for the sea stone cuffs pointless, don't you think?

He could just…shrink, I guess the word would be, once defeated by Luffy; I'm picturing a kinda-sorta Gecko Moriah transformation. Defeating him would basically neutralize Shinokuni as well.

Maybe you're right.. but I really want Ussop and the other guys to play an important role in capturing caesar. :b
Okay, this is really stupid and I am afraid you won't get the picture..
But if Ceasar really become one with Shinokuni, wouldn't that make it weaker? ya know, any Haki user is gonna be able to attack it then.
maybe I am just overthinking this :l

You've seen the…destructive power of Shinokuni. If CC were to combine with it, and, be able to control it (while it somewhat maintains it's island-like size), he'd be a pretty formidable opponent and the final fight of Punk Hazard would be pretty grand). It would amplify his logia Gas Gas Fruit tenfold. (This would also allow the Strawhat's to eliminate Shinokuni, defeat CC--in turn, capturing him--at the same time).
I mean... Right now...as it stands...I don't see how the Strawhat's are going to exit the lab and get to the Thousand Sunny, especially since Shinokuni has practically consumed the whole island. Unless Franky is building some giant vacuum-like device that can suck up all the gas, and that's the reason we haven't seen him for quite some time.

Whoa, never thought about it that way.. If luffy doesn't K.O Ceaser fast, the strawhats (and the other guys) are going to have a hard time dealing with him.
WANT.
I think I wanna see that theory become reality now.
The best way to prevent ceasar doing more shinokuni is take Smiley fruit and someone eat it, give to an object or destroing the fruit since it's the key to shinokuni mass production.
Smiley fruit have swirls so we can assume that is not one of the inumerous smiles that ceasar help to create but a natural devil fruit and perhaps one of the reason it need 4 years to in his eyes shinokuni achive perfection (and perhaps one of the causes or ingridients to produce sad thanks to the axoltls abilities to regenerate their limbs or wathever other reason.)
Predictions to next chapter: Usopp will shine and ceasar will do a face a la Enel for what i don't know but he will.

sanji using dj and thought the guys leg was like iron
if vergo stepped that up we still haven't seen major improvements in the sanji to see how he'd deal with it. Tho i personally think he does have more than what we've seen so far
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I have a hard time imagining that Sanji was serious either.
It's sure interesting that we are in the second arc and we have still no idea what the SH's are capable of. In the first they oneshotted named semi-fodder, in the second the enemy is too strong to allow a real fight (Sanji being abused to hype Vergo).
well reading that fight vergo just seemed to show no ability except natural
no haki no bamboo stick though i do agree i don't think sanji shown full power but i do think a difference between law vergo smoker and sanji has been shown quite clearly
Is there a break this week?
There's a chapter this week but some sort of long break after. Double issues or something.
How long is the break?
Is there a break this week?
Not that I know of. Although, I'm pretty sure the Winter break schedule starts afterwards, which means effectively 2 breaks in a row (I think)

tends to be first 2 weeks of the year
oh no:sad:
it finally has become interesting and now something like that :sad:
well atleast we still got this comin chapter
Wat? There is no chapter next week? There should be one more before winter break
Aohige posted the break schedule a while ago:
Alright, time to get ready for the painful.
It's brutal, but you all know it's coming, and probably don't wanna get caught unprepared.WSJ release dates for the upcoming End Year/New Year.
http://adnavi.shueisha.co.jp/schedule/w_jump.html| WSJ Issue | Publish date |
| 51 | 11/19 |
| 52 | 11/26 |
| 1 | 12/3 |
| 2 | 12/10 |
| 3 | 12/17 |
| 4/5 double | 12/22 |
| 6/7 double | 1/4 |
| 8 | 1/21 |As always, roll back about 5-6 days for the spoiler and scanlation release dates.
And like with any year, there will be two double issues back to back, as well as non-monday releases on some issues.
Five for us. Remember, we get nearly a week early.
spoiler/scanlation wise, you should expect:
OP 689: 11/19 - 11/20
OP 690: 11/27 - 11/28
OP 691: 12/4 - 12/5
OP 692: 12/11 - 12/12
OP 693: 12/17 - 12/18 (A day early due to Sat release day - small chance of 12/15-16)OP 694: 12/25 - 1/2 (Jump comes out Friday, 1/4 - the timing of when it will reach bookstores is unpredictable, due to combination of weekends AND holidays. As usual most likely very early instead of late though, so they can make sure it's in circulation)
Since 6/7 double (OP 694) will probably hit very early, there will be nearly a three week gap after it. Go forget about manga serialization for a month.
In other words, we should get another 3 or 4 chapters before we get hit with breaks.

Ah, my mistake. Thank you.
Though I get the feeling we'll get the 3-week break right as some big twist is revealed. Law will end the Chapter saying "So now we can start the next part of my plan . . ." or something.
I hope they defeat CC before the break.
i got a feeling there will be a super cliffhanger before the 3 weeks break :ninja:

or doflamingo himself shows up in punk hazard because he is really pissed by law :ninja:
Unlikely, but Buffalo and Baby 5 showing up would just drive everyone crazy and that's always entertaining.

Oh thank God. Hopefully we either finish or get close to the end of the arc before the breaks hit.

I really hope that the chapter right before the break doesn't end with Buffalo and Baby 5 showing up. That would kill me, I want to know what they can do.
It would be great if we can see Buffalo and Baby 5 in the next chapter. I wonder if they are stronger than Vergo or Ceaser, because if they aren't, what could they possibly do to the Strawhats? Baby 5 didn't seem like she could do anything to Doflamingo. I wonder what they'll do once they get to the island.

I don't think Ceaser will last much longer, but I could always be proven wrong. :?

Not many people can do anything to Doflamingo, as we've seen so far.

So, basically, Law and Luffy will fare just as bad? It makes you wonder just how strong Doflamingo really is. We've only seen a small fraction of what he can do.

I think they'll arrive after the strawhats leave and pick up the wounded (but still alive) Vergo, and why not, Monet as well
I can't wait for Oda to reveal Doffy DF and then the "His DF is hax" shit can start :ninja:

The fact that he can control people is definitely scary. Anyone would be freaked out if they lost control. He can make people do whatever he wants as he sits in the sidelines. It really fits his character that he runs a business and uses it to control the big powers. He makes a lot of money off of them, and they probably don't realize how much they depend on his business.

Nah… But, I do see them struggling quite a bit against him. He's like... a SAGA boss (like Rob Lucci and Crocodile), not just a story arc boss (like Caesar Clown). He's like...a main boss, not a mini-boss.

If Luffy and Law go against Doflamingo, they will learn a lot against him. Luffy learned the gears before he faced Lucci and he learned a new move (gomu gomu no storm) against Crocodile. I bet he will learn much if he fought Doflamingo. Maybe how to stregthen his haki against cutting attacks (he will face a lot against those with Doflamingo). Or maybe he will learn nothing. Who knows? I'm not sure about Law, be he seems to keep growing a well. I'm not sure which one will face Doflamingo (although I bet it would be Luffy), but he will probably be above them and it will be hard for them.
i got a feeling there will be a super cliffhanger before the 3 weeks break :ninja:
I thought it was just a 2 week break? Also when is this going to happen.

WHERE THE HELL IS FRANKY?! And, are we going to see him before the end of the world?!

Franky is actually an agent of Doflamingo. He went to Dressrosa with the Thousand Sunny.

The last chapter before the big break will end on Franky's awesome entrance/rescue.

I can't begin to express how upset I am with your post. :sad:

Franky enters accompanied by Brownbeards crew. Solves the Shinokuni problem with little effort and says "Oh yeah, I found these two outside.." throws Baby-5 and Buffalo on the ground unconscious/tied up..
End chapter+Break.

What if Baby 5 and Buffalo parallel Mr. 9 and Vivi and end up accompanying the Straw Hats to Dressrosa
So on 4-5 and 6-7 double issues do we get two chapters on single day??

As would I. To show that Franky is super.

Unfortunately, that's not how it works. Just one.
What are the odds that the "Punk Hazard Arc" extends beyond Punk Hazard, I guess that would defeat the purpose. A better way to phrase it is, what are the odds the purpose of PH extend into upcoming arcs? Again I'm not talking about an obvious Doflamingo fight, or Yonkou fight. I mean like CC escapes, Shinokuni goes out into the ocean, SAD production is moved or not really destroyed? I wonder if these main elements SAD/Shinokuni/Vergo/CC will be solved this chapter or continue on into the next arc (again obviously these events won't be forgotten but what are the odds the next arc is directly related to them?). I think if Dofla is the target then the CC element might stay but if Big Mam or Wano are in the next arc I think CC is a one and done character.

The latest chapter kind of proves that ph is at least part of the "super rookies saga"

It's a double issue in the sense that half the magazine is released one week and the next week the second half is released, or at least that's how I understand it. So one of those weeks will include OP and the next won't.
