CC is so dead next chapter
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
dat color spread......
I suppose there is some unnamed (for now) guy in that spread, who'll appear years later, and everyone will be screaming about foreshadowing.
So, what if a strawhat were to get caught in Shinokuni? Like, say Brook and Kinemon were trapped in it. Do you think Oda would do that? and have them trapped like that until a cure is found?
Also, thanks to everyone who worked on finding those marines in the colour spread! Many thanks!
I think the better question is, who does LUFFY hold responsible?
Indeed this is THE QUESTION to ask. Thanks you so much
So, I haven't been following this new One Piece movie. Why isn't Nami wearing any pants. Even Bellemere is confused. Look at her in the colorspread, she was focusing on something else before she noticed Nami.
Also, CC isn''t really losing next chapter is he? I'm sure Luffy can kick his ass regardless of what happens, but CC is a gas man with so many techniques he can display. Seems like a rip for the fight to end here. I mean, the minute this fight gets focus CC uses an ultimate move and that's it?
It's also weird that this finishing move is being left on a cliffhanger. When's the last time that's happened? Will Donflamingo's crew interrupt?
by any chance does anyone look like dragon? a theory that he might have been a marine…
Did anyone find Kong, Yarisugi, Tashigi, Coby or Helmeppo? I was disappointed to not find them but more importantly not seeing Jango, Fullbody, or Caesar hurt way more. But then again I wasn't sure if those last 3 were full fledged Marines yet. I wonder if Vegapunk is in this picture, thou I doubt it since I can't find Caesar.
Also Caesar Crown's crown is really pissing me off! I wish Oda had drawn a cooler crown for one, and two wat's up with those horns of his? First they were there and he had a crown, then they were gone and he had just his crown, and now he has one horn and a crown.
=D
Though the translations differ too much for a proper discussion I find it irritating that Law was able to cut the whole island. Shouldn't his attacks be limited to his sphere? But since hiding the globe from the reader doesn't make much sense in this situation, at least to me, either this was indeed pure swordmanship or he has another way to use his ability.
On the other hand, the floating buildings and mountains and the explicit mention of it by Sanji would suggest that he used his sphere to lift the upper part to damage the building. Although that doesn't make much sense either as there's no point in destroying the whole building plus it endangers the SH and he could've just cut the SAD room.
At least, one can say Oda isn't one of those artist who draws cut parts suddenly flying away as the Enies Lobby tower behaved quite rationally.
What Vergo said implies the WG used the SAD for its own intentions, maybe for the final Pacifistas and the weapons of higher officers. At this point, however, it's not really surprising anymore since we already know that Smile is quite popular so the WG has to be at least aware of it and because of CP9.
Smile plays a big part in the fight between the WG and the revolutionary army so that Robin has to be aware of it as well. Then she could play an actual role in the manga again.
It's already surprising and disappointing that a scientist (not fighter) wanted for only 300M is still conscious after getting a beating from Luffy twice so I hope this long run-up indicates that he'll be able to send Caesar flying. I doubt Law had any reason to hold Caesar apart of destorying Joker's and maybe Big Mom's business.
Assuming CC flies away there's going to be another huge hole letting in the gas. At the same time the tremors after Law's slice made the building begin to collapse. So Usopp is going to inform all four (or three if Brooke joins Luffy) groups about the situation and guide them to the exit. That was probably the reason why Zoro "mistakenly" ran back to Sanji's group since otherwise he wouldn't have followed Usopp's instructions.
At this point the question is what else could happen as the escape alone should fit into one chapter. So either Oda didn't time the arc with the New Year or there's still enough to tell even it is not related to this arc(side story).
Looking at the colorspread, I don't want to start any kind of stupid discussion, but… Isn't Nami's skirt like really low? It's almost as the top of her buttcheeks are exposed :ninja: She's probably the pretty woman next to Garp.
! She's turned into a child n when she turns back her clothes dont fit her size anymore

Take a look at the last page (rayleigh92's post to be exact), the picture posted has an almost complete set of everyone there who's been shown in the manga.
Fullbody is there, Caesar isn't a marine, and we saw Jango/Coby/Helmeppo right when they joined the marines, so there's no need for them to be there.
Kong, Yarisugi, and Tashigi are a mystery.

Probably Tashigi joined the marines later, to me she's in the same gen that coby/helmeppo, she joined a couple of years earlier than them but she's not oldschool marine, from before the era of piracy that Roger left behind

I just don't think it's showing marines from before the great pirate era. To me, this is showing the marines as they were when they joined.
If this was a "how they were 20+ years ago" spread, X-drake would be what, 10-13?
@MonkeyDDragon:
by any chance does anyone look like dragon? a theory that he might have been a marine…
Look between Garp and Z, there is a slight image of a marine ..Who's side of ace is hidden. Not only does he look like Dragon, the side of face thats hidden is same side of Dragon's tattoo
Not saying it is Dragon..but he looks close enough to convert me to that theory of Dragon might have been a marine at some point

To me, the guy that's behind Nami's clima-tact resembles Dragon more (bottom half of the clima-tact)..He doesn't have a tattoo, but we don't know how long he's had it.
Edit: Nevermind, it's definitely not him (clima-tact guy), the hair isn't black…

Oh wow, Fullbody is there and so is Morgan, I didn't notice them at first. Thanks!
And I hoped that Caesar would count as a marine scientist, but I guess if he's not in then Vegapunk's not either. DAMN!
Probably Tashigi joined the marines later, to me she's in the same gen that coby/helmeppo, she joined a couple of years earlier than them but she's not oldschool marine, from before the era of piracy that Roger left behind
Tashigi definately seems to be the same generation as Fullbody so her not being there doesn't make sense to me. Not seeing her and Yarisugi [2 marines who were key in this arc] still urks me.
=D
Young Garp and Momonga looks awesome.
! So it's safe to say ONE PIECE FILM Z is canon now? Since both Ain and Binz are both in the colorspread.
Those are my thoughts as well. At least the characters are canon.

Fullbody looks to be in his 30s. Tashigi isn't present because she probably looks the exact same as she did at the beginning of the series.

in episode 0 (strong world) dragon didn't have a tattoo, so he got that tattoo after joining the Revolutionary army, so if he was a marine he wouldn't have had a tattoo…
I'll admit that it's my fault for not looking closely, but Oda also takes some blame for not supplementing it with a little supporting dialog, but rather giving us "the ceiling is floating up" from Sanji after the fact for some reason, assuming that translation is even correct. It might actually be past tense, which would mean all my complaints instead go to the translators.
You should have asked before making the complaint then. Guess what the answer is. Again. :ermm:
Yep, you guessed it right. Panda.
He said "What the hell, the ceiling floated up just now!"
It's pretty much past tense, but immediately previous. Like "Holy crap did the ceiling float up just now? WTF happened?"
It's obviously fallen back relatively in the same place, although the impact caused rubbles to fall.
Mangapanda made several other mistakes in the chapter including assuming the subject-less "One cut, split in half" editorial comment applies to the whole island.
You know, as usual.
- I really like Usopp's speech there at the end. Oda does a good job of balancing his character between cowardace and bravery, with slow but steady progress. People also seem to get the most out of him when they insult Luffy in some way. He has absolutely no hesitation about facing all of them in order to get to the switch if he has to, but he's also trying diplomacy first. His days of being a liability seem like a distant memory right about now. I'm sure he'll still have those moments, but I expect a better balance now.
Some infidels still have problems seeing just how great the mighty the Usopp scene is, I'll start organizing a stoning session.
Luffy running down the hall is confusing. I guess he could have been building momentum, but I like the idea that he's vulnerable while he charges gear 3 so he felt the need to open some distance first. I laughed when he asked Momo to watch Brownbeard. Like wtf is he gonna do. Finally, Caesar crying in the last panel before Luffy even hits him? Priceless. That thing Vergo said about having more to hit being a liability against a haki user isn't going to work out so well for him.
Luffy went back far in the hall to give himself as much stretching length as possible.
He can pull his arms back far too, but I think with Gear 3 size, he'd rather grab something, and run forward and stretch his arms to the limit using the sheer strength of his legs. In the last spread, his arms are making tensing sounds (sfx) to indicate it's at max rubber length.
Young Garp and Momonga looks awesome.

Just because those characters are canon, doesn't mean the events of the movie are.

i see, if its like you say then i really want to know the past of X-drake, maybe he was born in the marines? as the son of a dead high ranked officer? and they took care of him?
I think it's honestly just because Tashigi, Coby, Helmeppo, and Jango joined the Marines during the course of the series proper or shortly before in Tashigi's case (she wasn't ranked extremely high in Loguetown and we know she can climb up ranks fast). That does raise the question of where Kong is. Someone asked the OPP on Facebook and the response was "Greg: That's a great question. I'm guessing it's because he doesn't want to reveal how Kong looked then for one particular reason or another, perhaps because of his resemblance to a manga character from another series with a similar name." So who knows?

Plus thosemarines around the climatact have been identified= starting above Melle-mere's head and going counter clock wise is Comil(wild hair looking in Brooks direction), Doberman(only one X scar under eye), Onigumo and X Drake.

Hmm didn't watch the episode 0 but did read chapter 0, forgot what Dragon looked like in it, thanks for the info

.
raises hand I'll join! j/k
I'm just happy that others do find it easy to offer some support for Usopp. Seems many like to bash him continiously and anything he does isn't good enough for them, while the smallest bit of polt device (like stopping the mooks from opening a vent when they seemed shocked at their master's betrayal just seconds beofre) is a momenet to condemn Usopp

True for most part, and maybe I'm wrong/over looked someone's list,
but this guy (the one I was talking about) hasn't been named yet. His hair just isn't black.
(I'm gonna wait for Nolus to post her essay/whatever she's working on. I get the feeling she'll identify everyone who can be identified, lol)..
i see, if its like you say then i really want to know the past of X-drake, maybe he was born in the marines? as the son of a dead high ranked officer? and they took care of him?
Could be the case, for sure. Who knows. We'll find out eventually

Heh. What really got me is that both mangapanda and mangastream translated it that way, and I made sure to read both. It wasn't until I actually wrote that paragraph that I realized they probably screwed it up, which is why it sort of got tacked on towards the end. But definitely thanks for the clarification on that one. I probably should have just had that paragraph rewritten over again based on that assumption. Oh well, too late now.

That doesn't surprise me in the least. After all, you could take "scene" out of that statement and it would ring true all the same, lol.

Hmm, but, has he ever done that before? I'd assume he could throw his fist back all the same. I mean, I don't discount the possibility. It just seems… quite new. That's definitely a good bit about the sfx, though. I suppose that leaves little doubt that he's coming full force.
Not really. You see metaphorically speaking, the person who hates thieves called the cops but said burglars were smart enough to outsmart the police squad or strong enough to beat them. Luffy was fighting seriously with Ceasar, but he didn
t deliver enough damage to close the deal. How would he know that Ceasar would kill his own henchmen? Please don
t say COO.Stating that Luffy is partially responsible is very subjective from my point of view. Sure it looks pretty straightforward once you look into the past and an action carries onto another; however Ceasar does what he does and he should take full responsibility for it alas Luffy has no responsibility whatsoever over Ceasars actions. He
s a pirate remember? Ceasar
s men are dead because of Ceasar.It would be interesting to hear your thoughts about who killed firefist. Was it Blackbeard, Akainu or Luffy? choose your venom.
to say luffy was fighting seriously is debatable. the scenario i gave was related to how things turned out. the burglars werent smart enough (ceasar didnt outsmart luffy) or strong enough (ceasar didnt beat luffy). to show further where luffy was seriously annoyed and wanted things to end quickly, when franky was in choppers body rampaging and attacking luffy, luffy used gear 3 coa to end it quickly…. in this instant, luffy just used a regular punch with coa. for someone fighting seriously and wants to stop something asap y delay with a weaker attack?
as you said, being partially responsible is subjective. but in this case, luffy was suppose to be serious about the matter and supposedly wanted to stop. he even got more upset by cc's actions, showing that he even cared. one thing i left out in my post and i figured it would come up was that "if something bad is happening and ur ABLE to stop it and u dont, ur partially responsible wether u care or not about it." its the same reason why if u see someone get killed, and u dont report it and the authorities find out u get charged.
interesting topic u brought up about ace's death. u might disagree with me but in all honesty i think its a matter of perspective. one could say ace loaded the gun (by stepping in the way) and akainu shot it. u could blame BB b/c he captured ace which later led to akainu killing him.
anyway, ill reiterate my point. if an something bad is about to occur and u are ABLE to stop it and u dont, u are partially responsible.
Pretty sure luffy ran back to the hall cause he doesn't know what kind of damage he'll cause when caesar gets blown up, other than obvious power ups i think one of the main things Rayleigh taught him was to fight smarter (thank you fire was a good example). if caesar goes down though won't he lose control over shinokuni which is currently between luffy and momo/bb?
Heh. What really got me is that both mangapanda and mangastream translated it that way, and I made sure to read both.

I'm sure the "just now" part is throwing them off.
They're too focused on trying to make out what the words mean, in a typical fashion of translating a foreign language.
When in reality, the acutal context of the whole sentence is what's more important. It's a very common mistake in translations.
Nuances play a heavy role in context recognition.

Well, he's also never thrown a G3 Bazooka either. I figure it's the most damaging single hit move Luffy has done ever.
I just hope the hothead realizes Law needs Caesar in somewhat one piece.

**Ahem http://www.mangapanda.com/103-2587-17/one-piece/chapter-480.html I guess we could say its the first CoA imbued one.
So why does Vergo stick to stuff?
It's not stuff sticking to Vergo, it seems. Since Vergo's body parts are magically stuck to the railing.

Good point. Luffy wouldn't want to endanger Momo & BB. After getting angry at CC for how he treated his men, Luffy wouldn't want to needlessly endanger them. While as enemies they aren't as imortant as friends (Momo/BB) they are not a threat to Luffy, so he would try to spare them.
Also Luffy saw CC and his men come from a room above them and knew more men are up there …and a good thing he's not risking going all out there, Usopp is there too. I would say Luffy doesnt' know...but with CoA, he may know so I staying mum on that
@400MillionBelis:

While some will say "things stick to Velgo" I say this time with all body parts on the railing its Law's powers.
Remember when we first saw Kinemon's lower torso? It were stuck to a dragon? Then when Luffy pulled it off, it stuck to Luffy. I think part of when Law cuts things up, they have a 'sticking' quality at the cut site and stick to things they come in contact with. Its not premamently stuck as we saw with Kinemons lower torso.
I hope that Franky is preparing for something epic and not something normal like building a cell for CC in the sunny go.

Yeah, of course I meant Elephant, or whatever he decides to call it next chapter.
so something like….dragon was also being forced by garp to be a marine until dragon snapped and goes revolutionary?

I don't think Oda would draw such a spoiler in a color spread.
Prediction: Luffy's getting ready to shove part at the lab at Caesar, not just his hands.

If he misses Caesar, he's going to destroy a sizeable portion of the lab, anyway.
I'm not into the "Dragon-was-originally-a-marine" camp.
Just because I like to think of them (Garp, Dragon, & Luffy) as having similar dream of freedom, but with a slightly different idealism, thus ended up on different sides.
So IMO, Dragon started out without any affiliations; just an adventurer who stumbled across this great secret about the world and decided to do something about it. And when I say 'stumbled upon', it doesn't necessarily means he reached Raftel, he might've heard it from one of Roger's crew. And I'd like to think it was Rayleigh, it was fitting cause Rayleigh would be Garp's adversary, Dragon's friend, and Luffy's mentor
I just hope the hothead realizes Law needs Caesar in somewhat one piece.
Haha, yeah the attack does look like overkill in the sense that Luffy doesn't care at this point whether they get CC in a body bag despite the promise of getting him alive. Luffy obviously didn't hold back on doing his elephant gatling on Hody (which by all accounts should have killed him) and Luffy holds just about as much contempt for CC. But knowing how this fights always CC will just have the good fortune of living with all of the bones in his body broken.
On a completely unrelated note, does CC remind anyone else of the title character in the old Toho movie The Human Vapor?

Personally, i disagree, not about the Dragon marine thing but about Dragon´s motivation. I doubt that Dragon knows all about the great secret of the world (whether it is the Ancient Kingdom being massacred or something similar), even if he does, his motivation for this revolution is something else, namely that the current WG just does a shitty job and treat most people like garbage. His absolute dream, like you said, is freedom for everyone but not because of an ancient history but because of the misfortunes many people have to suffer.
If he misses Caesar, he's going to destroy a sizeable portion of the lab, anyway.
Well, he's facing Ceaser in building R which means it's northern tip, not much lab left behind him.
But hey, there IS a mountain there, recently sliced in half. It would serve a very good Dragon Ball destruction prop.
Good point. Luffy wouldn't want to endanger Momo & BB. After getting angry at CC for how he treated his men, Luffy wouldn't want to needlessly endanger them. While as enemies they aren't as imortant as friends (Momo/BB) they are not a threat to Luffy, so he would try to spare them.

i agree.after seeing cc petrify his subordinates,he probably realized that shinokuni was dangerous and could harm others,and as he didn't wanted to involve anyone else,he moved away.

What about the secret room? :ninja:
@GolD.:
Tashigi definately seems to be the same generation as Fullbody so her not being there doesn't make sense to me. Not seeing her and Yarisugi [2 marines who were key in this arc] still urks me.
=D
Yarisugi is there, he looks somewhat changed, but does have the same square faced face and with a same set of hair, but he does not have a beard and G5 hat. He is below the giant that we do not know who is. Tashigi isnt there for a reason we do not know.
I don't think Oda would draw such a spoiler in a color spread.
Probable or improbable, its still assumptions at this stage.
What about the secret room? :ninja:
It will be "no longer secret, turned into rubble buried in the crushed mountain" room.
Wow, this colorspread is really awesome! Nolus must have jizzed all over the place, even the giant squad is in there.
I didn't even recognize Smoker with such short hair in the beginning!
B2T:
Vergo said sth interesting_:"Joker's past"_ and sth like "You'll need more than just to rely on your power…" That was surely implying that Dofla has relations to all kind of big shots, not only the Yonkou.
He has Vergo among the marines and he has relations to at least one higher WG officer (the dude he talked to right b4 the TS).
It also reminds me of what Shakky said right after the SHs got seperated by Kuma.
IMO if you want to survive in the NW you need connections to certain organizations. Luffy is lucky: in the worst case he has Alabasta on his side as well as W7 and FI. This will get important in the end of the series.
This chapter was good vergo was funny not only with his his worries but as serving as decoration on the rail,zoro and his lost shenigans and sanji normal reactions, the awsome usopp speach and once again ceasar faces.
The thing i'm not very eager is ceasar transformation it makes sense but seeing both logias intruduced in this arc change to a "monster" form makes me think that other logias that we already meet will do the same thing to show their true "nature" like akainu transforming into some lava dog and i wanted something like that but perhaps is only on this arc.
with that said the colorspread looks godly with all the marines when they start their job.
That does raise the question of where Kong is. Someone asked the OPP on Facebook and the response was "Greg: That's a great question. I'm guessing it's because he doesn't want to reveal how Kong looked then for one particular reason or another, perhaps because of his resemblance to a manga character from another series with a similar name." So who knows?
While that statement is obviously referencing Kongou Banchou, I think that young Kong may have looked a lot like X. Drake.
