….what??? What are you even talking about lolll.
Who is Meadows??
How do you know he dropped out of D Block?? -
I just don't see how Doflamingo would NOT be beaten this arc.
If Luffy is supposed to be a pirate king by the end of the series and seeing how we still would probably get an epilogue while under the title and we're already past the milestone halfway point of the story, there's just no time to fuck around for him, there's still like 10 years worth of holes to fill and that's only if Oda doesn't decide to bring something new to the plate.
Also, the monster trio of Doflamingo is a perfect match for Straw Hats' one. Look how Franky's been developed this arc, even the Pica guy looks similar to him, he gets Pica, Zoro Diamante and Sanji Trebol. Doflamingo is Luffy's. Here, everything fits.
-
I just read the chapter on MS (cause MP's trans is as $hitty as always) and there wasn't anyone in block D who dropped out before the start of block D. MS wrote "only one of block D will be left in the end". Pika's Body Looks so much like Franky's (especially the shoulder and the head shape) that I'd like to see those 2 fighting each other. Trebol is Sanji's Opponent, not only cause he is violet's leader. IMO after the events on DR the Scoop Reporter Abusa and Moria could meet up with the SH-Lawlliance (it will be big news if Doffy finally gets his ass whooped). Would be a perfect Moment for Moria to appear.

I'm not sure what I want to see for the next chapter… I really want to learn more about Dofla's past, but at the same time I want to see what Rebecca is capable of... I guess that's what makes a good chapter, being hyped by all its content.

You're right, neither the Fighting Lion, nor Acilia were shown in this chapter. Meadows did not receive special treatment. In fact, considering that Kaidou was referred to as a "beast", it's far more likely that the Fighting Lion is Kaidou, than Meadows. And in reality, none of these characters are Kaidou.
The fighter who was eliminated from Block D was most likely Spartan.

Does it have to be the immediate offspring of the current King? AFAIK, a King will rule for his entire life. And there is a high chance that his grandchild will succeed his throne? I'm not an expert on this but for example, Queen Elizabeth II - she's still the Queen and next to her is her eldest son, Charles, but he's really old too.. There's a big chance that Charles's eldest son is next in line. You get the picture.
In One Piece, Vivi is NEXT in line to his father but she's not yet the Queen. Maybe Vivi's child or grandchild will be the 13th King? Who knows?
Calling it a plot hole is exaggerating, in my opinion.
A "high chance"? It would require, repeatedly, for children to outlivve their parents, and for the children to still be young enough to rule for 70-80 years. So … a continuous Nefertari reign for more than 800 years with only 12 rulers is really really not likely. You are keeping in mind that each king would have to reign for a long time right? It would have to skip a lot of generations each time. It's a really minor detail in the grand scheme of things but it is a contradiction.
That does sound extreme amount. I got curious about the length of the reigns and looked it up
Really interesting.To quote wiki=
"1603, the crowns of England and Scotland were joined in personal union under James VI of Scotland, who became James I of England. By royal proclamation, James titled himself "King of Great Britain", but no such kingdom was created until 1707, when England underwent legislative union with Scotland to form the new Kingdom of Great Britain, during the reign of Queen Anne"England had more than 40 :blink: I tried to count how many but lost count! The fact it lists the 1st and 2nd reigns separate and listed some were disputed (one was proclaimed but never crowned) made it even more confusing.
Many of England's rulers seemed to last only 10 -20 years. Heck from 880s (Alfred the Great 880s-899) to 1000 (Æthelred the Unready, first reign 978-1013) there were 9 kings in a span of 120 years.Since Great Britain formed in 1707, it has had 12 rulers, but many have had short reigns. a lot were 10-20 yrs. Only 3 had reigns longer than 50 years= George III, Victoria & Elizabeth all seemed to reach 61 years.
Just goes to show me that the monarchy system is very complex :blink:
This summarises the reasons why :p George III, one of the longest reigning monarchs, ruled for so long because he came to the throne at about 20. His father, Prince Frederick (?) died quite young which was a big surprise. So you don't get these kinds fo thigns happening generation after generation after generation (after generation …)
@Monkey:
Because the "England" of that time period wasn't some organized illustrious stable medieval state. That's from when the British Isles were like modern Somalia, ragtag Germanic warlords and vikings fighting like vultures over the corpse of Roman Britain.
My early mediaeval history isn't great, but I think after Alfred the Great (the first in that series quoted) there was a united English nation in most of modern England. There were the Danes too, and it wasn't super-stable like we expect Alabasta to have been at least in recent times, but it wasn't how you are describing it, right? That was before.
-
Has it already been said? Oh well, I'll just say it anyways.
I think the Pyromaniac in D Block has something to do with the past incident where it made people hate king Riku.
One of the crowds called Rebecca a grand-daughter of pyromaniac, and the fact that the Toy Soldier says King Riku was wrongly usurped means something..

Might get a nice character moment from Rebecca out of this :D

Oh and my love for Cavendish has trippled.
He may have planned the big talk against the audience, but you don't easily predict the reactions of such a large crowd.
So yeah, I think he's a nice guy after all just like Luffy said.
Hope he shines..–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Was there any guesses for who was the one who gave up in D Block?
I think that was gonna be quite important for later.. -
I suppose that this has already been said but take a close look at the notice board that one leg is using to explain the plan, http://readms.com/r/one_piece/722/2074/13, in one of the papers it says 'the palace' I mean, it was obvious that they were going to attack the palace but that makes a perfect scenario for ussop, franky and robin to fight some of the donquixote family guys there. Some of you pointed out franky vs pica which I also approve and I believe it will take place in the palace.

@Fleet-Admiral:
Well apparently i need to mention you to read messages proberly then. I didnt say it was his WHOLE motive to idolise him. In my –>example<-- i said it might be mostly the reason why he like Luffy so much. Seriously?! How i could miss that miracle when i was talking about the whole subject itself.
Homewer, it's true i should have mentioned it, even it was obvious.And one thing about your last message: With all the respect, don't play smartass and go to offtopic like that. That wasn't necessarily post at all. This wasn't either, but you made me mention certain thing
Lol buddy you're the one who called me out for correcting you, even though all you mentioned was Bart idolising Luffy's violence, and nothing to do with the supposed miracle that saved him in Loguetown. So I was well within my rights to do so.

Did maynard get a defaulting notice? He was in Block B; I think it was at least mentioned that he hadn't shown up.
a staff member asked bartolomeo about him that's all.
The numbers given for the blocks were B-138 contestants, c-139 and D-138, these numbers were stated in the chapter after maynard's debut. Later when the B block starts gatz says it is still a 138-man battle royale
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/167382/one-piece_ch707_by_mangarule/2
meaning maynard was just the 139th fighter of B block.
That means the 139th fighter of D block was either gambia or spartan and Oda already took him out of the math.
I assume spartan was part of block A and gambia is the 139th of block D, but it could also be that spartan was from block D and gambia wasn't a contestant.Now we are being told another fighter has defaulted and we're left with 137 fighters in block D. And I don't it's a coincidence that the two contestants missing in this chapter, acilia and meadows, are the only gladiators in the tournament besides rebecca, ricky and luffy and in this same chapter luffy hears something in the gladiator room.
I'm starting to think either meadows or acilia is an outsider like luffy and ricky the other is a gladiator like rebecca and is paying luffy a visit(that or bellamy).Also, I was wondering how we know Gambia is actually in the tournament? Granted we see him in the colosseum area, but at the same time, it doesn't introduce him (as far as I remember) as an entrant, and we don't see the label with his number on … does it say anywhere he entered?
If he isn't a contestant, then spartan was the 139th of d block, else spartan was in block A, it makes no matter.
Thuygh I think gambia it is a contestant since the waiting room is only for fighters and the rest of cavendish's and bartolomeo's crews are nowhere to be seen. -
Taking 556 participants into account, there should be 139 people in every block.
Block A's number is unknown, but there should have been 139 fighters.
Block B had 138 fighters.
Block C had all 139 fighters.
Block D is now down to 138 fighters.Maynard was confirmed to have been in Block B, with him we would have 139 people.
Spartan was beaten before the tournament even started, so let us assume he was the one originally not considered to be in Block D, making it 138 people back then. This also goes along with some other participants mocking Rebecca for that her long-time bully was already defeated. That wouldn't have mattered anyways, if they woudl not have been in the same block.
When the numbers for each block were announced, what happend to Gambia wasn't known by anyone. That would mean that he's the one that already defaulted, making Block D 137 people.Well, that's my guess anyways. So don't expect anything special about the one participant that 'dropped out'.
(If that's not true it would have been: Spartan -> Block A, Maynard -> Block B, Gambia, ? -> Block D)

Nico Robin said Arabasta has existed for at least 500 years before the void century.
He said it was a place that has had many conflicts.
Nico Robin a Poneglyph says:
-Kahira falls to Alabasta (Alabasta's history, date: Year of Heaven 239. Information supplied by Nico Robin)
-The Bitein Dynasty of Taymar begins its rule (Alabasta's history, date: Year 260. Information supplied by Nico Robin)
-Great Taph Temple completed in Erumalu (Alabasta's history, date: Year 306. Information supplied by Nico Robin)
-The Hero of Oltea, Mamudin… (Alabasta's history, date: Year 325. Information supplied by Nico Robin, however she is not allowed to finish the sentence.)
It is very common that a kingdom fall and then be recovered. In fact, that step Dressrosa 10 years ago, and now will happen again.
-
what if arabasta faked its alliance and only joined to create the world government as an imposter just to have a chance to protect Poneglyph and Pluton?
because perhaps otherwise they would have to leave their country and a new family chosen by world government would have replaced them.
Arabasta must have been allied with AK… I can't see any other reason for them trying to protect Poneglyph generation after generation!!! -

I already thought it would be something similar to that, but this just proves it. People are ignoring any type of conflict that happens with monarchies like coups and rebellion and whatnot, resulting in different dynasties taking control of a kingdom, and it's not too far to assume that the Nefertari dynasty lost the throne for different spans of time during the years.

The Riku Royal Army which seems to be mostly composed of dwarves was mentioned in Rebecca's flashback, so it is most likely that they were always part of it.

About the whole Alabasta "plot hole", isn't it possible that through out the 800 years of the country there was an uprising/mutiny/tyrants that took over and reigned over for some of the time? Or even the history keeping wasn't accurate (like some kings that were so hated by everyone they weren't counted). Remember that Alabasta is a desert country that the power mainly lies with the water so if there is a period of drought something might fall of balance. You only look at that Army to see it is necessary and if you look at Egypt's history (the source of some influences obviously on Alabasta's design) they had similar things too.
On a different note, have anyone stated to think of the correlation between the history of the Tontatta tribe (900-800 years ago) and the Donquixote Dynasty leaving their kingdom of Dressrosa to live conveniently in Marejois? (800 years ago)

later on King Cobra said that Robin lied about what's on the ponyglyph, Robin did not say anything to refute that, she never said anything like "only lied about whats on the ponyglyph". . So we don't know if the Alabastran history she was telling are truths but simply lied about it being on the ponyglyph or if what she said was made up.

Well, I think Luffy's "Hmm?" was just to the crowd falling silent in the middle of their transition from jeering to cheering, rather than him noticing someone.
It could also be that nobody is absent from those we know in this block, and the 'one has defaulted' actually refers to Gambia or Spartan … I know it is inconsistent, but it's still a strong possibility.

Some major battles are about to be set up. We really need to see zoro tested. I think him and Fuji will clash at some point. I wonder what dd will do next. We still have to see bellamys assassination attempt and block d and the armys first move. And shit still hasn't hit the fan yet!

I have to ask, i dont read that many shonen/girl mangas so its hard for me to be sure: Is Cavendishs supposed "striking beauty" like a joke from odas part, over-exaggerating on how effeminate looking men always seem to be the ideal for male beauty in manga/anime. OR has it really gone that far? i mean the guy has the same eyes as violet (typical sexy girl-eyes in one piece) his hairstyle looks like monets.
anyways. youngest gorosei:
Look at the skin tone, sharp nose and hair colour. Possible Donquixote Family member? is this why DD wears shades, because lack of eyebrows is a trait that runs in the family? possible result of inbreeding…

I always just assumed that there was a different standard of beauty in Japan
-
@wolfwoof:

Me too but Cavendish is pushing it, man. Kinda on the level of the Incredible Hulk being considered an ideal of beauty in countries that favor Muscled Masculinity.
Long hair and stylish black clothes is usually the requirements for a character to be considered beautiful.
Having woman eyes. there is quite an established difference between genders when it comes to eyes in most mangas, female tend to be big and circular with larger iris and pupils and male eyes being sharp and narrow with tiny pupils. plus the fact that we are constantly reminded of his well established beauty, like everytime he is mentioned, and that his crew is called the beauty pirates, makes me think that oda is doing a parody and poking fun of an ideal. i kinda like it. Being able to poke fun of manga ideals when you are the genres biggest selling author of all time shows some distance and humor :) -

Hi everyone,
New to the forums, but have followed them for a while. So, DD being a tenryuubito was expected, but I've heard no mention of the slavery thing. I assume Monet was a slave, seeing how she was "happy" to die for the guy. Now, some of his crew call him young master, or something like that. Would this mean that at least some of them are slaves as well?

Just watched Sawyer's video and he brought up an interesting point: Maybe Doflamingo wanting Crocodile to join him has something to do with the Nefertari not leaving to Marejois? granted it is only a guess but who knows if Doflamingo is only interested in him for his strength and status or beyond that.
-
I noticed that Rebecca tossed her shield before she entered the arena. That may or may not be a good sign.It makes me think that Oda is getting rid of her gladiator look that goes with the shield and preparing her to become a SH. Her using a shield all the time wouldn't really look so good in my opinion. This also makes her look pretty bad ass without the shield. The moment I see some fodder block her attack with their own shield or weapon I'll give up on her being able to beat Cavendish. Also, if King Riku really isn't dead then that old man Ricky might actually be King Riku judging from what was shown in chapter 714. It would also explain one of the many ideas for his hate towards Doflamingo. It seems pretty obvious that Doflamingo set the fire and had it blamed on the king so that he could swoop in and play the hero while taking over the country. Pretty much what Crocodile attempted to do but unfortunately for him, Luffy was there to stop him in his tracks. Doflamingo is very unlucky having succeeded for 10 years and has now become Luffy's target. Riku does resemble the name Ricky a bit. If he is indeed King Riku he may retake his throne after Doflamingo gets the boot. And again I think it would be best if Luffy were the one to save Law's life.You shouldn't call people scum when it's not the correct word. Also, try not to be a hypocrite.
Yeah, sounds like Doflamingo used hsi puppet powers to make king riku start a fire infront of everyone.

Mangapanda paste illiterate translations on overfiltered scans in order to get as much pageviews as quickly as possible. Their incorrect translations spread false information and cause misunderstandings in the fandom. But this is of no concern to them since they are running a business and are not reaching out to fellow fans.

I'm not sure which one but I remember something being said about the army being the ones who set the fire by the kings orders but either way the person being blamed is the king.@Silverblade:

How naive can you be? they are doing it for themselves, they are using the fastest translation & scanlation to get money. They don't care about you, nor about any of the fans. I doubt they even enjoy one piece.
Work ethics? none. Vague translation? Who gives a fuck, we need to release it first. Other team finished before us? Steal from them and put it in our site. Yes they are scum.
Edit: Just like some reviewers on youtube who post a video 30 minutes after the chapter to get the most views.

I'm genuinely trying to get what good would come out from it. And I'm asking you that.
Essentially if Dofla is protected by his lineage then if the world finds out his lineage then for sure he will lose all connections and advantages due to the simple fact he's a pirate.

First, they aren't doing it out of the goodness of their heart, or because of a community. They are taking advantage of someone else's work to make money, much like how people sell bootleg DVDs. When people work to provide fan translations out of a love for the series, I respect that because they're a part of a community. When people recognize a community as something they can take advantage of to make a quick buck, it's a completely different situation. Mangapanda doesn't give a fuck about One Piece (as evidenced by their inability to get even basic details right); it's purely a financial endeavour. They're even known to steal (and watermark) other fan translations to have a copy up to get their revenue.
Second, how is it hypocritical to criticize them? Whether or not people are perfect, you're clearly playing a semantic game by suggesting that other peoples' use of the word "scum" means only what you want it to mean. Furthermore, if I'm correctly understanding you, your argument would require that no one use the word "scum", ever, which is just silly.
