I initialy assumed they ran away immediately, so that's why I was sort of pissed.
Chapter 714: "Lucy and Ucy"
-
-
Barto reminds me of squardo or w/e his name was for some extent D: you know, the one who stabbed whitebeard
-
Anyone other than me notice that JOLA is one of the new world pirates that helped Whitebeard at Marineford???
No one noticed this wrong thing.
-
I am still holding to my initial guess: Bartolomeo is one of Shanks' allies and was sent by him to get the Mera Mera for Luffy 'cause Shanks didn't knew Luffy would be there himself.
-
Would be nice if Barto were tied to Shanks and I do believe Shanks faction will have a noticeable role in DressRosa. Big MoM will also be tied in, one way or another.
Now when the wheals of the New World starts to break down, I expect powerful players from all the great powers in the world to be present or atleast affect how the story developes from here on.
-
Hey guys! Did Luffy uses Haki to beat the giant? People over at OP Wiki are having an edit war because they think it's speculation when it was clear that his arm became black! How can they be stupid?
-
Why wouldn't Luffy use Haki as default after he has learned it?
-

That's really out of character for Shanks though. I doubt he would do anything to directly help Luffy, since it would completely undermine Luffy's motivation.
Also, why do people think Barto intends to help Luffy again? His scene in this chapter only suggests that he won't let Cavendish kill Luffy because Barto has his own beef with him, rather than any concern about Luffy's safety.

Yeah what the hell is everyone on. That was clearly a menacing line from him.
-
Sooooo… Weren't there supposed to be some colour pages this week? Or is that next week?
-
I wonder if water will "wash away" the changes like with Kalifa.

@Monkey:

Although CCC stated before that in the original it could be read both ways and he tried to leave it like that in English.
-
I don't know, i wouldn't like it if Bart is an ally of Shanks.
I prefer the idea of him being a fanboy.
-
Pretty good chapter. There is so much going on this arc that it's hard to keep up. New characters seem to pop up every chapter daamn! Is it only me who wants Cavendish to just get..owned? He is the one I want to get beaten the most in this arc lol. I hope someone smashes his "beautiful" face in And I really..REALLY want to know what is Bartolomeo's connection to Luffy. All in all, another amazing chapter. I hope we get some Law/DD action next chapter though!
-
I wonder what Dolfamingo wants with Momo. I don't think it's because of his DF.
-
I… couldn't help myself.
-
@jabso:
i dont think that the spades dude is kanjuro…..why would doffy give a seat to a samurai he captured ? Deosnt make sense to me
I am almost 100% that zoro will fight him . He looks badass so i guess only another badass should defeat himI´m not referring to Kanjuro but the other samurái besides kanjuro, Momonosuke and Kinemon that was travelling with them

@Al!naJames:

Nor should you. Both this, and the abstract interpretation of Jora, are amazing.
Edit:
Although, in the interest of offering level critique, and not simply gushing, you did forget his amazing, flowing beard!

Nic pice
Sniff Sniff Poor Ucy -

If Momo turns out to be a prince than I could see Flamingo trying to use him as a way into Wano.
-
@Panda:

Thanks for your kind words and I didn't include it in purpose :P It… bothers me, for some reason. I guess it would cover up his smile too.
-
This is probably unlikely, but I wonder if Barto is related to Moria. He looks like Moria in his younger days. Even though Doflamingo did a failed assassination on Moria, Barto may have only heard of Moria's defeat at the hands of Luffy and he may want revenge.
-
Now I got a wishfull thinking that ceasar would also be affected by Jola devil fruit is face would become glorious.
And hope that Ucy will have a good role later on the arc. -
I also like youir pic Al!na…seems like they both having a fun time together ;)
-

Doflamingo also wanted to capture Kinemon and Kanjuro, so I think that he wants Momo because he's samurai from Wano.
Maybe Doflamingo wants to in order to make an alliance with Wano. Since the Samurai from Wano are very proud people, they would never agree so the Doffy wants to blackmail them by taking Samurai as hostages. Just a theory though. -

I agree , the beard would cover his smile up…and that grin is part of the charm of that pic
-
Too bad Violet is not at the coliseum . She could x-ray Barto's suitcase, and see what is in it.
Edit: Do you think maybe there is a counterfeit devilfruit in his case, and he is going to try to make a switch?

Awesome, but the beard! Why do you not like Master Roshi?
@Monkey:
Yeah what the hell is everyone on. That was clearly a menacing line from him.
Yeah if anything we should be thinking about what group Luffy pissed off that would want revenge.
Dumping my thoughts here, it looks like there's no connection between the mysterious 'that person' that Caribou, Bartolomeo, and Brannew mention, since the latter is the last Warlord, the guy who cut off Z's arm, and Luffy has no history with him. Caribou and Bartolomeo both seem like they're trying to curry favor with their respective persons, which given two 'supernova' are trying to get in good graces it'd either be a Warlord or an Emperor. Blackbeard doesn't fit, because Jesus is there. Shanks doesn't fit, because obviously. Kaidou doesn't really fit, because there's no connection to Luffy and he already has his SMILE hookups. Big Mom is a reach, with the events at Fishman Island being too fresh to be "deeply rooted", and she appears to have a power already. That leaves us Warlords, which would instantly narrow it down to Buggy's dispatch service. Treasure and a mermaid princess don't really fit with Buggy though, so I'm leaning towards separate persons, and for Bart/Buggy the Mera Mera Fruit is a stretch if not for Buggy knowing Ace and helping at the war.

than again, you also didn't draw the whole armor, so i guess you could see the helmet and the cape as a hint for the arc, but the pic works better without the whole thing. or something like that ;D
And of course it is indeed an awesome pic! thanks for the effort!
-
Guys please, Jora is not a great pirate in the least and she doesn't even look like Lola.
@Buggy's:
Liked the chapter - the Bartolomeo interest is fascinating.
Really good to see Elbaf represented - reckon the giant will be fighting alongside the SHs by the end of the arc. Might even bring Usopp closer to his dream of visiting the island…
Rather, I think he will be a subordinate working for the antagonists in Elbaf arc.
-
Jola's design is lame, but I like her ability. What catches me is how she activates it by pulling a cloud out of her mind. That's really creative. Not sure how this encounter will play out though. Jola is implying that the ship is ruined, but Nami and co seem to be moving fine. Can they fight? Also, Brook is a master musician, which is another form of art. Is that a coincidence or will that factor in here? I'd love to see these guys win the day inspite of losing their fighting ability.
The longer Rebecca gets screentime and character development, the more I hope her fighting scenes are good. I'm dreading seeing her lose without putting up a cool fight. Is just…reminds me of a bunch of other One Piece characters who've lost horribly in the past.
-
I really like the idea from monkeylover that Cavendish ends up being stuck in the box and misses his round. Would be hilarious.
And yes, i have to bitch about Nami, Chopper and Brook. All of them are considerable strong and yet they escape from an hag and a few random thugs. Meh. Really tired of stuff like that. I hope they will return and make them pay, and i hope that won't be the only fight we will see from them this arc.
Besides that, great chapter. The punch was amazing and i like the conflict bellamy is facing now.
Nami and co didn't escape from Jola, they just didn't want the ship to be turned into that lame art too….. I mean modern art.. It seemed that they thought by changing the ship to modern art will make it useless. And it did seemed a bit lame after it was taken the effect.
-
I love the Miro references! Really cool, Oda's art knowledge runs deeper than just pop culture it seems. Also Nami looks very similar to Matisse paintings, and I think that the Sunny's new look is based on the Tower of the Sun, which is in Osaka
Oda has even gotten cooler, which I thought was impossible!

I see what you did there.
Also, Oda is clearly setting us to feel bad for Rebecca once she loses. He did the same thing with Bellamy.
-
Have there ever been this many twisted plots? Did someone count them??
-
Meh, 5/10.
- The beginning wasn't that interesting. Jora's power isn't interesting/cool. Though, it looks like we'll get a Nami moment (Brook and Chopper won't be useful in a sea battle).
- I guess Ricky is Kyros and Rebecca's dad. That's kinda interesting. But, I've a problem with Rebecca. Between this, Thunderous One-Legged Solider, and the rest of her past she's gonna get a long flashback. And there's a s**t load of stuff to be covered in Dressrosa, especially flashbacks. Seriously, at this rate about a third of the arc will be flashbacks.
- Bellamy won't go through with it. But, I still wish he had won Block B. His story would've flowed better then, and wouldn't feel so clunky. But, I'm still seriously liking him. I actually want him to join the Straw Hats. He has pre-timeskip relations, he's a good fighter, and it's great development and a twist. Plus, Diamante's practically confirmed as Luffy's big/final opponent this arc!
- Bartolomeo and Luffy 'go way back'? Um, ok this could be interesting. I'll wait and see where this goes.
- Ucy came out of nowhere, but I like him.
- The ending was actually the worst part for me. We know Luffy's a badass who ccan trash guys 10x his size. We don't need it reiterated time and time again. His one-shotting big, tough guys is getting old.
-
Someone please answer, why were there no colour pages in this chapter? Or is it in next weeks chapter?

A woman using her thought bubbles to manipulate objects isn't cool or interesting??

Couldn`t agree less with almost all your points.
-
@Monkey:
Meh, 5/10.
Ucy alone is 10/10 worth didn't you look at the picture from a page back? On behalf of all "Ucy for Nakama" supporters I strongly disagree with your post.
-
I think the suitcase is a bomb and barts about to go crazy and eventually get luffys attention. If its seriously deeply rooted he won't care about the fruit and just wants to confront strawhat we don't know if he wants to beat or just envys strawhat. Still dont know how the flower field will go down or why everyone is meeting there
-
I don't know if anyone has already mentioned, haven't read pages 10-20. Anyone else wonder if the symbol on Diamanté's door to his waiting room, has something to do with his ability?
To me it looks as if its a bull head, but could be referencing something completely different.
That is all.
-
The people in OPwiki think Sabo is dead because of that info in the green data book; calling others dumb for thinking otherwise. They really grind my gears.
-
@Monkey:

Well, he was shown at the end of chapter 706 along all the other participants.
By the way, I would love for each one of Doffy's crew branches' important members to share a common trait, like Trebol's having weird Devil Fruit abilities, like Jora and Violet. I know it won't be like this but well.
-
Someone please answer, why were there no colour pages in this chapter? Or is it in next weeks chapter?
As far as I know there colour pages are supposed to be in American Jump, not Japanese.
-
I want to know what Barto is keeping in that suitcase. A gift or a wepon?

Your statement is invalid.

I have seen few presents marked with "Danger", "Hazard" and skull stickers, but who knows.
