I think the marines don't like changing the Shichibukai every day. So, they don't have any interest in loosing one right now.
Marines thinking is irrelevant, they have to accept the decision or they will be murdered

I think the Revolutionnaries will appear now to destroy Dressrosa.
Wouldn't that be great? However, we haven't been notified of any particular gusts yet…
So does that mean DoFlamingo is a Tenryuubito? Or simply knows or is related to one? I don't see Fujitora fighting DoFlamingo, but maybe he will still save Law with the hole in the ground trick?
Amazing chapter!
As people have predicted, Sanji found out the truth thanks to Violet, and in what way! It's good that Sanji made one of Doflamingo's an ally of theirs. She will come in handy. The man she wants to be killed is likely Trebol himself, so we can assume that he is going to be Sanji's match this arc.
What a cliffhanger, goddamn Oda. Fujitora doesn't look like a person who is going to go along with the orders, he won't let Doflamingo be just like that.
Doflamingo is revealed to have some relationship with the Tenryuubito after all, that's interesting. I've faith in Oda, he will certainly make it more interesting than people imagined it.
Yeah, Violet's fruit is really interesting. I thought it was also a good take on Sanji's chivalry, this is essentially a better version of the whole Hancock deal(mostly because Violet wasn't portrayed as a completely unlikeable and villanous). On the other hand, Oda just can't bring himself to keep any females evil. The only exception so far is Monet(as far as we know of her) and maybe Baby 5(but even then Dofla keeps killing her fiancees). Even the fact that this is for plot is similar to the Hancock situation, I mean you could say he believes she's good only because she's a woman, but it's still better than "okay, I'm in love and good now eventhough I was a complete bitch just a moment before". It mirrors the scene with Chopper back in Water 7, too. So fine with this.
The celestial dragon development is predictable, but it does make me even more curious about Dofla and hey Block C started.
Don't cough up blood, Big Mom is female too. They're all evil.
Akainu is in charge of Fujitora and I doubt Akainu would want Fujitora to listen to DD. DD is a Pirate (all the Gorousei are probably excellent fighters). All Law has to do is explain that DD is Joker and his plans. Fujitora represents blind justice right? His perception Haki will probably see through DD and Law's lies. DD is for sure in the most trouble though. He is supplying enemies of the marines. The WG has basically said a big F*** YOU to the marines and stepped way out of bounds in doing so. I don't think they have any more authority to tell an Admiral not to pursue DD after they learn who he really is.
Law is doing the Marines a huge favor by trying to take down Joker and his plans to take down a Yonkou. DD is in far hotter water with Fujitora.
Great chapter! I never bore of those manly Sanji moments… xD
Seeing as the description of CP0 was “They’re officials who answer directly to the world nobles!!” I can only guess that DoFla has some serious connections here… since he said it's more deep rooted then that, being a CD might not be enough...
Great chapter. I like how everything spins together. It was kind of expected, but great nonetheless.
It is a bit weird seeing all these powerful characters on Dressrosa (and Green Bit) all at once. I doubt we'll be seeing all of them go all out, Oda will probably save some of them for later use. My expectations to the strength level of Cipher pol and the top 4 of tournament aren't small. I guess it will still take a good amount of time before we'll see the great stand-off.
So does that mean DoFlamingo is a Tenryuubito? Or simply knows or is related to one? I don't see Fujitora fighting DoFlamingo, but maybe he will still save Law with the hole in the ground trick?
Why would a marine just randomly help a pirate?
I think the marines don't like changing the Shichibukai every day. So, they don't have any interest in loosing one right now.
You mean the World Government? The marines has nothing to do with Shichibukia except when a pirate leaves the shichibukia is their job to take that former shichibukia down and that's it.
Another failed opportunity for Sanji to have any character development. Violet turned into a one-dimensional plot device that reinforced Sanji's sexist beliefs about women. Two thumbs down.
I enjoyed the other half of the chapter though. Really wondering about Doflamingo's past and his connection to the celestial dragons.
Can't have at you since you're just stating the obvious ;)
I still think that Hancock's DF is more sexist -fights by making guys that have 'lust in their heart' turn to stone - than Violet's fighting with tears.
those tears are just a pun on the name of his devil fruit
Don't cough up blood, Big Mom is female too. They're all evil.
It's still annoying along with how all "beautiful" female villains get defeated. But hey, this was alright.
remember when mononuske passed out and then doflamingo's image popped into his head? many theorized that he rigged the fruits so that he could take full control at some point and maybe the world government is the one who thought up that plan? maybe doflamingo's actions are all a secret plan to infiltrate the underworld and supply them with weapons that will ultimately backfire. lets say the world government goes after kaidou and when he tries to fight back doflamingo takes control of all the sad fruit users and turns them against him.
What a great chapter! :D
I'm REEEEALY loving Violet's DF power, and if Dofla really is related to the CDs, then HOLY SHIT!! O_O
this chapter made my inner sanji-fangirl happy, nice to see that his kishido is still there ^^
Anyways, Doffy being a CD and folling the whole world…awesome
Oh and law gets chopped into pieces next chapter...
Could Don Flamingo, in addition to a celestial dragon, be one of the childs of the current King of the World (of celestial descent). Maybe even being the oldest and first in line to the throne.
This makes me think that "pirate king" does not only refer to luffy being the king of pirates, but being the king of the whole world as a "pirate king": a king with a background as a pirate.
Would also fit with Mingo's ambition "Pirate King".
Another failed opportunity for Sanji to have any character development. Violet turned into a one-dimensional plot device that reinforced Sanji's sexist beliefs about women. Two thumbs down.
Yes, let's make Sanji's only remaining character flaw vanish, and make him fight a woman who believed all men were the same, but had her mindset changed because of Sanji's sexist beliefs. It's just what Luffy did to Hancock.
But I agree, a crew of perfect people is the way to go! Who's next to lose his or her flaw, Zoro?
I didn't know being a gentleman was being sexist. It explains why they're dying out, smh.
What a chapter! Sanji and Violet seem to be perfect together. I think he finally deserves woman who love's him back
Law is pretty much fucked, but he might survive with help of Robin and Usopp (and dwarfs). Power of DD is just a crazy. I think he work's right under Gorosei, but why? I still can't believe that he is Celestial Dragon. Maybe im wrong :wassat: Next time we'll hopefully see part of his past.
Fujitora's position is really interesting. He obviously hates what Doflamingo is doing but he can't do anything against him because of his authority in the government. This is probably what Kuzan predicted too.
As for Violet's fight by crying, I think it's more of a coincidence due to her powers being related to eyes. (and there's not much an eye can produce beside tears and lasers)
the marines shouldnt fight the shicibukai, vice versa, so fujitora cant do anything unless he is willing to get into trouble later. he is a new admiral and it will be weird if he got fired not long after he got promoted so i guess he will just watch the fight. there's a chance that dofla is actually a noble so it will also be risky for fujitora to attack him. law is fucked and i think we will gonna have a rescue mission to retrieve law (and kanjurou) from dofla.
i really dont like the idea of violet becoming a nakama. we already got 2 sexy woman which gradually become nothing but objects for sexual jokes so we really dont need another one. i rather have a crazy/funny, fat/ugly woman like lola from thriller bark as the new woman nakama. she should be getting along with the idiots in the crew as well.

Oh what a drama queen you are. I have no problems with him being a pervert or having any flaws relating to that.
It's when his antiquated sense of chivalry, which assumes that all women are "pure" and can do no fucking harm, is presented as a GOOD thing as it was in this chapter and shown to be actually right in the OP-verse. Nothing in this chapter showed Sanji in a bad light or having any flaws (aside from the pervert comment), quite the opposite.
law can still use fujitora. he might tell fujitora about the sad factory and how its helping kaido and he might then go and destroy it. he might not be able to attack doflamingo but he can definitely still do that. it might be doflamingo's factory but he can justify destroying it by saying its helping an emperor so he has a right to destroy it.
Wow, so DF can extend their powers to things that sound like their names? Can I expect Buggy to have abilities related to roses as well?
Honestly, I always loved how creative Oda could get with the DF, using abilities in ways I would never think about. But recently sometimes it doesn't look that creative, just nonsense.
That aside, LOVED the Giro Giro no Mi. It's even better than the Suke Suke. Best fruit so far! Now just make Violet into a pervert who keeps looking at men under their clothes so this fruit is not wasted, Oda.
I think the main problem with Violet being a nakama is that she just looks identical to Robin. And her personality thus far is nothing special.
Good Chapter!
Sanji is back chères demoiselles (:
Violet's DF is very interesting, but the whales? that was just pointless lol.. must've been (A Witch's item or something/ Butterfly at least lol)
AKAINU sucks… Fujitora don't! I think he's going to stop the fight or at least team up with law and resign from his post for the injustice (joins AOKIJI) (But first arrest CC)
Ussop's gonna fetch Law and run to a more secure place. (Join other strawhats)
Noone noticed the ANGRY CAVENDISH, and especially, Luffy SAYING: I can finally do it... I feel some epic ATTACK is coming. something more powerful than king's punch. (:
aaaaaah, can't wait for next week -__-'
I was already interested in Violet the moment she was introduced, but now I like her even more. I used to think she was a "weak" young woman (Untrained in combat, I mean), but this chapter proved me wrong. Also, I didn't expect her to be working both for and against Doflamingo. It seems she's going to be a major ally in this arc, and I'm really eager to learn more about why she's working for Dofla against her will.
Speaking of the devil, the big questions about him right now are: Is he really a Celestial Dragon, and why does he want to kill Law ? And if he really is a Celestial Dragon, how come he's a Shichibukai ?
we all know bonney will be the new strawhat so no need to talk about violet.
Great chapter! I never bore of those manly Sanji moments… xD
lol at Law freaking out with Robin's power.
I think the main problem with Violet being a nakama is that she just looks identical to Robin. And her personality thus far is nothing special.
Then again, she only prominently appeared in two chapters so far. She's bound to appear more, and reveal more unique personality traits. As for her looking "identical" to Robin, I disagree: she does look like her, but not to that point.
Do you guys think it´s possible that DD made a deal with Roswald and Charlos to deliver them Luffy and kill Law? In return, he gets their support.

Its else, he is threatening to kill her beloved ones (familly) or she's a slave.
just thinking,what will happen if luffy was on violet's place?
In my opinion;Luffy will definitely protect Sanji ,while Sanji will be angry if Luffy attacks Violet,but Violet wanted to attack both of them
That will be like neverending love triangle
And also,Violet being good at kicking….I think we will be seeing duet of kickers :blink:
And maybe,Sanji will finally get a lover

It was due for praise. His chivalry was mocked by Kalifa in Enies Lobby. It took a hit in Fishman Island.
It's a fucking situational thing. Rinse the sand off your panties.
Luffy did the same as Sanji back in Arlong Park, believing in a woman even if she did harm people. Where's the outburst? I'm waiting.
lol at Law freaking out with Robin's power.
He didn't freak out at all. He knew immediately what was going on, hence "Where's your real body?"
It was Caesar who freaked out.

I'm guessing you forgot the scene in which Nami praises his chivalry and it's depicted as the best thing in the world. Because a few (justified) lines from Kalifa about how stupid it is for him to avoid fighting someone based on their genitalia, even if it meant a crewmember would be tortured and killed, doesn't trounce that.
Please link me to the panel where Luffy outright says or even implies that the only reason why he believed in Nami was because she was a women, not because he already considered her his nakamate.
Nice chapter… I like the pace of it too
We're moving really fast now and we'll might get to see the sunny and Franky/Zoro next chapter even though I would love to have it focus on C block instead

I know Luffy doesn't think of people in genders, but please, he did the exact same thing. I'm still waiting.
I'm not saying that there's no fucking sexism in the manga because there is. I'm saying you should just close your mouth because the fandom has been over this shit thousands of times like Zoro did with Monet.
That's it I'm out.

he didn't believed in violet because she has a vagina,but because he thought her eyes at tears when she said she wanted to kill someone in another town were sincere

Yeah, I saw it as insightfulness. The thing that made his Mr. Prince moments so cool, but hey, it could be seen as sexism, just like Tashigi's open shirt when Smoker was in her body.
he didn't believed in violet because she has a vagina,but because he thought her eyes at tears when she said she wanted to kill someone in another town were sincere
Shhh don't tell the person, apparently being a gentleman = being a pervert
Please someone confirm, if the name of the attack violet used was something like iron whales, does that mean that she is using haki to embed her teardrops? Or is it just like she has fcking iron teardrops?
This was truly awesome.
Wow great chapter:
-I liked Violet's character. Unlike a certain someone(coughHancockcough) her development was believable. Looks like we're going to get that Sanji vs Trebol fight I wanted!
-Fujitora looks pissed. I'm guessing that, come the final crew vs crew battle against the Donixquote Pirates, him and his Marines'll stop the CP0 from getting involved.
-Akainu is going to have words with the Gorosei. I've had a feeling for a while that the relationship between the Marines led by Akainu and the WG would collapse by the end of the series. Hopefully this'll be the start of that!
-Looks like the 'Doflamingo is a Gorosei's son' theory is about to be confirmed.
-The Collesium is boring in comparison to the stuff at Green Bit. It was a real pointless cut. Hopefully, we won't go back again until only Luffy, Don Chinjao, and maybe a few others are left
-I think Law will get away for now and that Doflamingo vs Law fight will have to wait 'till later
I still can't believe I called this almost 1 year ago to the day!!

And if so, why would they protect him? What benefit would they gain from this? Unless Kaido is also working for the World Government in some capacity? or DD is a double agent and is either double crossing Kaido in the WG's favour of Vice Versa!!
