Plus its not the same thing, the concept has been used before, Bleach made Yammi look like a shitty character and then pulled that BS.
They are just participants in the tournament and by Oda standards some of them migth appear in future arcs if Luffy visits their islands, I liked that he named and gave designs to the gladiators instead of just ignoring it and have Luffy or whoever fodderise them in their bracket even if thats what will happen.

Btw am I the only one who is thinking its a fairy that is trapped inside Sunny stealing stuff?
No, I've said already that those intruders on Sunny might be Faires. We'll get 2 camps (if you can call Zoro alone a camp) that interact with Faries :P
One Piece 705: Maynard "The Pursuer"

theres so much going on in this arc its shaping up to be great i hope it doesnt last over 60 chapters tho alsorobin and nami look sexy as fuck

Pretty good chapter, preferred that we didn't get drawn out cut scenes of what the other groups were doing. I'm not sure how to feel about CP0, you had all the hype of the CP9 being the secret organization which had children training since they were young. Also CP0 wasn't mentioned before unlike 1-8 and the secret 9. Also, the title of the chapter was obviously just to make the entrance of Bartolomeo more epic. Just like Chapter 698 "Doflamingo Arrives" and then you have Aokiji arriving at the end of the chapter standing behind Doflamingo.

Does anyone still believe that Cavendish and Rebecca are going to the next phase? :P

@Dan:
How do you know he wasn't a VA?
Well wasn't all of VA's introduced and showed at Marineford? I thought so. If not maybe he was, just thought there were no more than what we saw.

Aohige or someone can translate the Fuji's cape?

16 characters of Vergo

Last time an arc had this many characters it turned into fishman island, lots of characters that basically stood around and did nothing. Is it too late to jump on the Monet is hiding on the Sunny bandwagon yet?
-
I love how Oda went back for Sanji's "Dear Nami-san and Robian Chan" thing he said it when he was at Queerland saying he's in hell :) Now in loveee~~~~
-
@Buggy:
The cross on bartlomeos advisors chest. Maybe thats their flag symbol…kuma carried a bible. Barto is related to kuma somehow
Bartolomeo IS Kuma. My theory still holds.

@The:

Looking this up online it seems it's the same coat as the other marines have.

CP0 might be part of the new powers given to the Akainu's new marine force.
-

Wow. Kuma slimmed down.
And lost about five feet of height.
-
Is it too late to jump on the Monet is hiding on the Sunny bandwagon yet?
Oh, let's not. Then it really would turn into a "Robin 2.0" situation.
-
Nice chapter. So Bartolomeo's henchmen gets one shotted by VA and then that same VA gets one shotted by Bartolomeo himself. Nice!!
Do we know what bracket Burgess is fighting in? Would like to see these guys fight!! Fijitora being new Admiral was no surprise. With the name Wiseria Tiger and all, along with resemblance to Japanese actor.

if i'm not wrong and remember correctly Aokiji's was saying something about "Lazy Justice" and etc for every admiral… maybe i'm wrong

Blocks:
A - Jesus
B - Bartolomeo
C - Luffy
D - Rebecca?

@The:

Fujitora's says the same as Smoker's, so it says 'Justice' ..
-
"Blind Justice"
Git it? Git it?
! Good, cause I don't.
-
So i'm wrong :/
Thx guys for that

Great chapter.
I'm not worried about the large number of plotlines as I think Oda will make some of them link together rather than having their own endings. I remember Donflamingo talking to some guy from the WG after the war… that guy will definately be shown one way or the other in this arc. Maybe we've already seen him (the smallest guy in CP0, as someone has already pointed out).
I don't like a VA being defeated so quietly, unless it's to do with an ability of some sort Bartolomeo. But you'd expect a commotion if two people VA level and above start fighting. I guess some things are played down to get that stealth effect. Because Bartolomeo wasn't shown at the end, I'm guessing that we've seen him before or something in his appearance is familiar (like a tattoo of a pirate flag etc).
-
Theories:
The Yeti Cool Brothers are hiding inside the men's room. :ninja:Bartolomeo is related to that spectator guy that wanted to inform "Jack", they have similar jackets.
-
Btw, Bartolomeo may be based on the same pirate as Ace.
Bartolomeu Portugues. And he's after Mera Mera.Sorta like BB, WB, and Thatch were all based on the same pirate, and BB ended up taking the other two's fruits.
Possible parallels in theme there, Oda. -
Can someone please explain to me how on Earth they keep mistaking the New World for "the Caribbean"
I mean, ffs, there's blind idiot translations and then there's Kehihihi in the Caribbean

Mangarule released before MangaStream.
Awesome.
-
Is it possible that the shortest guy from CP0 is the guy Doflamingo was talking to about Moria before the time-skip, also I feel like one or both of the other two CP0 guys were shadow brokers.
-
I love how Oda went back for Sanji's "Dear Nami-san and Robian Chan" thing he said it when he was at Queerland saying he's in hell :) Now in loveee~~~~
Haha, I agree. Laughed mostly at that part, and Chopper holding the pistol like a canon.
Last time an arc had this many characters it turned into fishman island, lots of characters that basically stood around and did nothing. Is it too late to jump on the Monet is hiding on the Sunny bandwagon yet?
Fishman Island didn't have that many characters when compared to the other arcs… FI had Strawhats, Royal Family, Keimi/Hachi/Jinbei, New Fishman Pirates, Vander Decken/Wadatsumi. Taking out the Strawhats, only Shirahoshi, Jinbei, and Hody got any panel time. If I remember correctly every New Fishman Pirate + Decken/Wadatsumi were 1HKO'd with like a page each. Alabasta had Strawhats, Mr./Mrs. 1 ~ 10 (I think), Crocodile and Robin, Kohza/Rebels, Royal Family including Pell/Chakka/Igaram, Smoker and Tashigi, and you had Hina at the end.
Also as brought up before, Fujitora could have been a VA in the New World during the war, special branch, WG, or from retirement. Side note: I'm glad that he seems as tall as the previous Admirals, lol.
-
MAYNARD HAS A SUPER COOL POWER THAT INVOLVES GETTING BEATEN TO WIN. (yeayeahurouge)
-
Maybe Maynard actually beat up Bartolemeo and then disguised himself as him. :ninja:
-
I'm so excited… this has a big chance to be the best arc in the series so far.
-
-
Holy wow there is so much to keep track of. Like, what…7 groups?! Definitely going to be revisiting this chapter over and over again.
I am kinda ashamed I thought the first few chapters of this arc were slow, but I guess that’s how it always starts.
deep breath Law. LAW. LAW WITH A MUSTACHE. I have officially stopped taking him seriously. He has past the point of no return. Like, it’s not even a GOOD disguise because he’s still wearing he stupid trademark pants and has his trademark sword. I think Oda enjoys making fun of him almost as much as tumblr does XD
Also, Caesar is just my favorite. I hope they never get rid of him. He’s such a compliant hostage.
MARINES! CP UNITS!! FUJITORA!!! (he's freaking huge, I didn't notice that before)
and:
FAIRIES?! (damn Zoro looks so good in that suit, he is like nothing but spindly arms and legs)
WHO IS ON THE SUNNY?!?! (A Punk Hazard stowaway? A nesting Doflamingo?! WHO?!?!?!?!?)
PUNK HAZARD MOVIE?????? (lol no mangapanda you must stop)On a more calm note, though, that was a really nicely written chapter. It flowed well, beginning and ending at the same place, with a little arc for poor Maynard, and going around to each group with just enough information to satisfy my curiosity, but still leaving everything open with a cliffhanger.
BUT NOW I WANT TO KNOW EVERYTHING.

This arc is nothing like Fishman Island.

From which chapter is the "rabbit sea"? And it's kinda hard to assume it could be her, but I do want to see Monet again :P
Also, this is going to freaking amazing. Fujitora is after all that guy and it's cool that he has a good ideal of "Justice", atleast for now. I really like too how CC is like, hanging out with them, not just standing there doing nothing.
-
So we have a Yonkou 1st fleet commander, an Admiral, a Vice Admiral, and CP0 sounds like stuff is about to get real in Dressrosa

Monet is dead and who cares, why are their so many people obsessed with generic female characters.
-
Maybe Maynard actually beat up Bartolemeo and then disguised himself as him. :ninja:
or maybe maynard is just a weakling and we should all ascept it. hehehehe.
you provably right, the chapter was name after him to be defeated like that
-
So is there OP next week or not?

Yes. Yesyesyesyesyesyes

@Dan:
The VA's aren't a joke. Any rank that included Garp has instant non-joke status. And unless akainu, kizaru, aokiji and all the other admirals got instant powerups when the were promoted, they were VA's when they were at least close to the height of their strength, which would make them monstrously strong. In all likelihood there's at least a couple of current VA's that fit that description.
One guy, who CHOSE to stay as a VA, does not stop the VAs from being a disappointment. Some guys have been there for decades. If after all that time they STILL weren't considered for the job then that makes them look bad. I'm sorry but the VAs are simply not that serious.
-

@Monkey:

I agree, the characters in this arc actually DO things. It's not an entire arc of Jenbi just sitting there, or princess crybaby, who never lifted a fin to do anything. Sharly who's only reason was to make a prediction, Camie who served cold soup, wait she did help Nami get to Jenbei to get him off his ass and get in the story. alkdjrfoidsajflksdjf I hate fishman island.

Or maybe the plot moved into a crazy place full of the strongest people on earth recently?? And the ante has been upped?? I don't know! But nevermind, I'm going to disappointed and act like things are still in East Blue standards!
-

16 characters of Chapter 700.

@Monkey:

Just like Bellamy dying, amiright?
I've gave into the…method of thinking of: If you don't see the death onscreen, than, they're not dead. Though...I suppose in a way we did see Monet die on screen; she was lying on the ground afterall.
Hmm...
