That "They're enemies!!" panel gave me chills. One of the best group shots in the series.
Brook and Chopper look extremely scary :-) I didn't expect Tashigi to join Nami and Robin staring at the ultimate robot.

The shadow figure is probably familiar with Punk Hazard since he knows how to get there, He overslept, and is on some kind of machine…
All sounds kinda like AoKiji who traded in his bicycle for something bigger and is on his way to the island? (Did he intercept the SOS call as well at the beginning of the arc?)
Franky is a SUUUUUPER idiot :P going all out versus some people who just fly by without knowing their motives. He only puts it together after he saw Ceasar on the deck XD
Usopp and Nami were cool, finally some limelight, The plant kabuto opens up so many new doors.
Awesome Chapter!
I really wonder who that shadow person at the end might be…
That sleep part can be a hint towards aokiji or "even dragon" (:ninja:).. however i dont think it's either of them.. Might be an new character might be an old one.. Might be one of the Supernovas heading on killers command to punk hazard to get a message to luffy and law for the new alliance.. it might be one of the remaining white beard pirates.. it might be someone of flamingos crew-.who knows.. it's kinda driving me crazy who it might be.. so i just do a crazy out of nowhere call.. It's uhm..
ben beckman :ninja:
Silhouette kinda reminds me of Mihawk. Huge sword on the back
Forget Sanji, SUUUUUUUPER brother for the new monster trio. :ninja:
"Donxiote Family" is written in English (katakana "family"), meaning, like a mob family.
I see, thanks Aohige.
Also, Franky's already over the trio status, he doesn't need anyone except his own robot :ninja:
@$abZ:
Why DonQuixote family? They're an underworld organised crime group, just like the MOB, who call everyone connected with them "family". I'm thinking this is the same, not that Donflamingo's crew are all blood related somehow. There might be blood connection somewhere within the brokers, thinking about Vergo's comment on Donflamingo's past.
It's an important plot point because it reveals a component we did not previously know. We only theorized about Dofla's family, but after this chapter it's confirmed that the family itself maybe menacing; not just Dofla
what is caribou thinking about when the lady told him to go to the port in the cover page ?
I think he wondering where is Kaido. The island is one of his favourite. Also Caribou said in fishman island that he will gain the favor of you-know-who if he tells him the secret of Poseidon, so that guy must be strong to want to gain his favor, and Kaido is a yonko.
OMG that chapter was awesome! that guy at the end. im hoping its a new bad ass character who falls under the "new species"
"Donxiote Family" is written in English (katakana "family"), meaning, like a mob family.
If they actually meant the family of Donxiote, it'd usually be written Donxote-ke ドンキホーテ家 (House of Donxiote)
instead of written in English ファミリー. In most cases, especially involving crime syndicate, that means a mob family.
Okay thanx for telling!
hoping that the silhouette is some sort of bounty hunter
Great chapter!
I wonder theres a theme of Doflamingo's underworld connections/ organisation especially with refrence to the Heart (seat)? We have Joker, we have Heart Pirates, could there be Diamond, Club and Spade Pirates or Captains ( I know Ace also had Spade Pirates, but they folded into whitebeard's crew, and maybe didn't encounter each other on the seas)?
Maybe there are positions of King, Queen and … "Jack" within the underworld?
you're right, I agree with you.
Maybe Oda take the Idea from Alice in wonderland.. we also have a Sheshire cat (buffalo)
Ove how he entire crew is obviously more powerful and more reliable. I mean, never before would franky be ale to fight two powerful foes like that, nor would usopp and especially nami be able to even lift a finger.
Nice pace and good action, time to find out who the mystery man is! Don't think is Aokiji, this figure seems to never have been to PH before. Also, aokiji would have been able to find it much more easily.

U
Um, there was actual speculation that Dofla's partners were not actually menacing? If one was affiliated with Dofla, I at least suspect they will be considered villains.
What if the mystery guy was one of the spectators in the Broker's thread?
Perhaps he was nearby and decided to claim Smiley or CC before things gotten even messier at PH
The person shadowed probably someone from Yonkou's crew that Ceaser mentioned about when he was trying to scare Luffy out of beating him. That stuff about making an army with SAD…
I don't know why but logically I'm kind of waiting for Garp to catch up to his grandson for a proper talk, though i know this isn't the case.
That lonesome and sleepy attitude leans towards Aokiji but both siluet of the figure and the sake of arc's climate denies it. So we'll wait, again.
And I hate you Weekly Shonen Jump. Oda quit already that damn magazine and do things on your way... He should have millions already.
I'm curious to have Robin, Chopper and Sanji demonstrate their powerups now!! so awesome.

You don't understand what I'm trying to say. THis is my fault because I'm not clearly conveying the point that I'd like to make. I kinda don't feel like putting in the energy at the moment LOL
The Mysterious character on the last page seems like Bobby from Big Mams crew…
Makes sense, She is a broker and has a Grudge on Luffy.

Epic chapter, just loved it.
I think it is pretty obvious Baby 5 and Buffalo will fight again. They just survived General Cannon, and only run because of the overwhelming numbers the protagonists have now. They have not shown all their strength, so I have a feeling the mystery character will somehow help Doflamingo on the next chapter.

And how pointing about them is related to him?
And next chapter? The next chapter will probably end with Doflaming arriving, then this mystery person will arrive later.

this is a good theory.. but i find it kinda funny to think that "ACE of SPADES" is the highest card in the deck of playing cards
Nice Chapter. I wonder when the Straw-hats are going to start having difficulty fighting someone though.
That mystery man is DD, he was kind abit tired n decided to take a nap on some small island he found on his way to PH
Baby 5 and Buffalo just fell into the ocean,they aren't fighting again.
I'm really proud of Nami and all that jazz,
but I'd really like to see her do an attack that consist of more than just lightning. Let's see some more wind!
Nami had a cunning smile with licking her lips during this chapter lol
Epic chapter
Shit is going to happen at PH
And how pointing about them is related to him?

Yeah that is why I put "somehow", I am not really pointing any kind of relationship between him and the Donquixote family. Thinking about it now, Doflamingo will likely first arrive at Punk Hazard. It just feels a little too convenient for the Strawhats and Law right now.

SHIT. Not her too D:

Well, they have to take care of Kinemon and figure out what Smoker will decide to do with them. Though, it does feels a little convenient indeed.
@Foxy:
Seriously, what is with manga scanlations (even good ones) having such weird English grammar?
Why did the guy on the last page say "Which way was it again? Punk Hazard…"
Nobody who speaks English talks like that, whether they are from U.S., U.k., Carribean etc.
It should be "Which way was Punk Hazard again..."
You know… in a situation like this, I think they're trying to be more dramatic or that's how it actually translates from the Japanese. Kind of like how in stories someone may say, "This might be the place... Punk Hazard." just how some characters talk sometimes. If it helps, try to think of it animated. The character says, "Which way was it again?...." Stares off dramatically into the distance. A beat passes. "Punk Hazard..." Oh, mysterious. He knows about the island?! Now what? Gives it that kind of extra feel, ya know?
On a different note, I'm even more sure now that Jack is Dofla's father, or related to him in someway like that. Perhaps the bodyguard of the "King" who's his father or something.
Also, I'm annoyed by the complaints of people saying that Baby 5 and Buffalo went down to quick. For one, they're basically the Mr. 5 and Mrs. Valentine of this arc and they lasted longer than those two. Also, I've seen the Strawhats get beat down enough. I'm tired of it honestly. Pretty refreshing to see them as the super strong guys for once. I hope things DON'T go back to how they were in Paradise, and instead they have equal matches instead of opponents that completely dominate them and they only survive through pure luck. Incidentally, has anyone noticed this recent trend in Japanese Shounenesque manga to have really, really powerful character as the main protagonists? (One Punch Man, AssClass, PSI) I wonder how that started...
Oda found a way to showcase the power of Dofla without allowing the fight to end in victory or defeat for any party. I really hope the silhouette is a really prominent figure in NW.
There are many pirate families in OP, they are just rarely together. Monkeys, Rogers/Portgas, the smaller lame families that I can't think of.
edit: Agree, it's silly to think Franky, Ussop and Nami aren't able to beat Doflas lower ranking henchmen.
to me, the mystery person looks kinda reptilian on the last panel, when he or she yawns, if that is in fact what it is:p. could be something totally different.
liked the chapter, it did live up to the two or three week wait. one thing, though still awesome, but not very clear or correct. when the sunny uses the goan cannon, also coup de burst is used to keep the sunny in place. how does franky stay in place, without falling or breaking through the deck he's standing on?
it's weird that buffalo and baby5 got smashed so easily by franky. are they weak?
Could be Garp or Aokiji. Garp sleeps at random times and Aokiji is just lazy.
Anyway, could someone provide me a link to somewhere that has Oda's words from the Jump Festa
That's not Kuzan.
His nose is totally different.
The silhouette is wearing a hat and cape. Neither of Ao and Garp do. Hope it's new character, and seems strong based on how reckless they are sleeping in open sea at NW.
it's weird that buffalo and baby5 got smashed so easily by franky. are they weak?
Or they were just blasted by a freaking ship laser cannon. Sigh, Franky is strong and even stronger because of the General, it's clearly shown in this chapter.
To me, I believe the silhouette could be Monkey D Dragon
it's weird that buffalo and baby5 got smashed so easily by franky. are they weak?
They got shot by the Gaon Cannon and still got back up. I can't say they're weak after that
The only thing the silhoutte makes me remember is Mihawk but I see no reason for Mihawk to appear here so yeah new character imo, just use a bigshot from Kaidou crew so Luffy "picks" a figth with him also(jkg here).
Looks like the guy has a pretty big hand if thats his hand, maybe thats a giant.
Going with its a new character.
Oh! How can I forget.
What is this "Heart Seat" that Dofla has for Law.
Is this suppose to be some sort of "passing of the torch"
i really wonder why nobody said anything about the cover story but that granny,as well as the houses, are way too small in size compared to Caribou. Granny first Dwarve revealed?. Also Caribou is thinking about a person at least thats what it looks like to me.
Anyway about the chapter.
LOL at Zoros reactions to hearing the word alliance "what alliance?" priceless
weakly duo shines in this chapter <3. i am glad we see a bit more about Usopps weapon.
probably aokiji since hes the only guy who can get lost in the middle of the ocean
Not even Mihawk.
I don't think Mihawk is the type who says stuff like "overslept" and "where is "inserts name" island again"

Thats perspective, the old lady is further away from Caribou and she is small already
the last panel from HQ raw
So that mystery guy is like sailing on a giant chewed foot?
Look at that guys shadow. I BET ANYTHING he's the brand new species Oda was talking about (and, that he's also Jack).
