First of all, CONGRATULATIONS ODA ON CHAPTER 700. such a great feat a few has accomplished so successfully. (though he wont see this )
Ok, into the chapter I go…
AT HIS OWN PACE - CHAPTER 700
-
C'mon caribou why did you return and what for? on top of which you are hiding? lol so much for being worth 210 million berries, guess pekoms really did put you in your place.
-
"Even the largest waves, capable of destroying cities, Begin as no more than small ripples unknown to all" What a TREMENDOUS quote. If you take it as face value and just apply it to the current story you could say that this applies to DD quitting the shichibukai but if you take it as a whole this story is all about how luffy's life got flipped-turned upside down, oda would just like to take a minute so just sit right there, as he tells you how luffy became the Pirate King of Bel Air…err yea one piece :ninja:
!
- Bonney has returned? now this is interesting. the last time we saw bonney was

if a chill went down his spine then 2 years ago what about now? I wonder how is she even free? I wonder if she'll be of relevance to this arc or saga?
We also see Jinbei who looks quite stern with reading the paper, i wonder whats on his mind. Everyone seems to be hoping that that is Crocodile, and honestly up until i wrote these very words I didnt really see the resemblance but only a coat and smoke but now? definitely do. Definitely interested in his growth as well.
-
Its intriguing how different parts of the world is going into chaos by one man resigning. It goes to show how much power and influence DD has and i look forward to seeing where this takes us.
-
Oh gosh,Absalom is back lol, are we to expect a return of Moria soon? I guess he might play a role with kaidou but for now i'd prefer him to take a back seat.
-
Motherfucking Eustass Kid, my bro, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking who will be the first to take down a yonkou arent you? you sly dog, make your move and make it great, luffy is already on the prowl
-ON THE SHIP
We get a continuation of the phone call from last chapter. Luffy being who he is definitely did what he does best; act a fool . Thats the way to tell him luffy, "imma come kick your ass if u do that shit again" We see luffy getting enthralled by what seems to be "what he craves more than anything in the world" sadly for DD its not what he thinks. Law takes over and moves shit along. This pace thing law mentions (including the chapter title) i think is a double entendre, meaning that its for both DD and luffy; atleast thats how i interpreted it.
- and here comes a big fault in Law's plan. He Assumed/heard the Smile factory is on Dressrosa but does not know its location. Dressrosa seems to be a pretty big island, is he sure he'll be able to find it in the allotted time? What if the factory is not there and on the island that caribou is on as some people has suggested? or just not there period? How will his plan advance?
Also, saying he'll drop off CC at green bit 8 hours from now. I wonder how far green bit actually is? and i dont see law returning CC at all so when DD finds out, oh boy, his angry face will definitely come up again.
ON TOP OF THIS, there is a possibility of someone showing up (see below) to this very location who may or may not be strong who could combat DD? LET THE EPICNESS ENSUE
!
- Next up is a little of kinemon's story. It seems they were being chased out of of wano if im understanding correctly. 3 samurais and momo (wonder why is momo the odd boy out :getlost:). The coincidences between "law's plan" and "kinemon's plan" oh man. havent they heard of Gibbs 39th law? "there is no such things as coincidences"
!
So basically kinemon wants to save kanjuro, i wonder who's the better samurai? and the other one is missing? i feel like he'll turn up at zou… speaking of zou LAWS CREW IS THERE pedobear will make a triumphant return soon . So we're on our way to Dressrosa, then Zou then sometime after (with or without other places inbetween) wano. some good adventure is among us.
sn: a friend of mine asked me what i thought if kinemon joined law's crew. so i pose this question to you all. what do you think?
- MARINE HEADQUARTERS FINALLY MAKES IT OFFICIAL APPEARANCE the place is HUMONGOUS. you can see the arches are above some of the clouds. they are decked out with numerous cannons as well. this is definitely a right step in the direction if you want to be a threat in the New World.
-FUCK, damnit, Buggy is a shichibukai. i know A LOT of people are happy but honestly im not that interested in such a weak character being in that position. i enjoy his quirkiness and the jokes that entail him and i understand why he got the position but i just dont find him that interesting.
Next, we get the reveal of the name of the New Admiral. its interesting that he mentioned the report from smoker. what if smoker told him about green bit? then fujitora would almost undoubtedly clash with DD. this would be sooooo awesome. I hope this happens and if it does indeed happen i shall be a happy man.
- Back at Dressrosa So we get a mini introduction of 2/4 (well 3) seated members of DD court. We have trebol and diamante. At first glance i like this. I like both of them, i hope the spade dude is a hardass or a serious character though, would kinda even out the craziness. with that said a bit of prediction time.
!
well well, what do we have here? an empty heart seat. I'm sure you guys knew this already but still just pointing it out. Now, my assumption are these 4 (well 3 lol) would have been the ones where the work is delegated to. these are the gears or the front runners of DD's organization and soon to be (if he had ever attained a yonkou position) his "commanders" i.e like Whitebeard's 16 commanders. If this is so i expect these other three guys to me quite powerful. Infact, with DD giving the DF to Diamante shows that he trust him and his powers so i'd even say its certain they are strong (yet to be seen still) by DD's standards. If these guys were on a level similar or even close to law, these guys would definitely pose some good threat to the strawhat crew + 3 so out of all of the chapter i really wanna see what they got.
To finish off DD's mastermind scheme we then find out he has the mera mera no mi. THIS. IS. HUGE. (i think)
i have my thoughts on this but i feel like yall have already beat this with a stick already but here it is anyway.
1. someone on DD's crew eats it…. i would dislike this a lot and would be disappointed unless this person became #2
2. a new character eats the fruit and joins the strawhat crew or joins and eat it….to me the most plausible and what i would like to see happen.
3. Luffy keeps it as a memento….dislike this as well, unless this turns into a #2 scenario.
4.someone on the current crew eats it…. Umm nah, dont like this at all either. i feel the crew are already established in their powers.
-CLOSING wonderful chapter, packed filled with greatness. this arc has the potential to be the current best.
I hope to hear more of law's plan soon.
Definitely want to see what the supernova's and a few others are up to.
new admiral, new powers, new people
new adventure, new allies
Donquixote Pirates and the Suit theme
with that said, i leave with this;
**THE COUNTRY OF LOVE AND PASSION, ONWARD TO DRESSROSA!!!!!
sn:**some of the stuff might have been said earlier in the post so sorry for the repetitiveness if it was. Long post and i rambled a bit but yea, whats your thoughts or comments, i welcome them :-)
