I hope for Koala vs Dellinger (cause Sanji isn't around to make a good pre-fight like he did with Wanze). After all those 2 look almost the same. Hack for sure is the main fishmen Karate teacher among the revos (since Koala is the substitute teacher). AND he might have been the Fishman Karate dojo teacher b4 he joined Dragon. Also I hope Bellamy quits with Doffy b4 this arc's over. Damn, still so much to handle: Law's backstory, Fuji's desicion, all the fights, Franky's thumb-up-face after blowin up the factory, Momo's real reason why Doffy is after him (it can't be the fact that he ate VP's DF, cause he ate it AFTER the Wanos left DR).
Chapter 731: "Dressrosa Operation SOP"

Fuck.
Just.
FuckAlright?
FUCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!I just got my internet back. and now this!!!
;_____;
What? visit this thread before reading the chapter?
-
well seems like you guys don't understand.. We should wait and see then.
We do understand ur point, it's just that our point of view is different. Indeed we will have to wait.
-
maybe trebol is a glue logia, and he can glue ''thoughts'' into people's mind? anyone? :ninja:
About the Hobby fruit, I have to say: it would be a "cute" fruit if it wasn't "abused" by Doffy. When people get turned into toys, their beloved ones lose their memories of them so they don't miss the transformed toys. And the Age-stop is maybe because the user always has joy with his/her toys (though IDK what happened if a grown-up has eaten that fruit). So far thats my opinion why the people lose their memories, so they can't miss their beloved ones.
-
No! If he wins it he should give it to Luffy. And Luffy decides what to do with it, Luffy can then tell Sabo to keep it. Come on guys, Luffy went through hell to save Ace and Ace died protecting him and you think Sabo appearing outta nowhere will win the fruit and eat it? hope this a joke.
Oh he might ask luffy, but maybe they talked about that during the conversation we didnt see, maybe that's part of the reason why luffy is saying there's no problem with the fruit anymore. Who knows really.
-
Next chapter, Jack will show up.
-
Hate to just spitball ideas around, but does anyone think that it's possible for Alicia to also be a revolutionary? Maybe a good number of undercover revolutionaries (Hack, possibly) entered the tournament in order to help ensure Rebecca's victory, hence Alicia's brief conversation with her this chapter. They could possibly want her to eat the fruit and take back Dressrosa's throne. It would help in liberating the country, which is why I assume that Sabo and Koala are there.

Noooooooooo. Sabo will claim the fruit for himself and he will be the new owner of the Mera-Mera fruit, which'll be pretty awesome. Hiken No Sabo
-
Diamante, Pica and Trebol.
I would go with Pica, he's been the most mysterious of the three, however, I think it's safe to assume that all three are strong.
-
So Burgess is aware that Luffy and Sabo swtiched? Can't wait to hear what Sabo was doing when Ace was killed in Luffy's hands.
So I think the panel was just referring to what luffy was saying, that he didnt want ''that guy'' to get ace's fruit. Thats how i saw it
-
I want Burgess to cause serious trouble, and not just have Sabo steamroll his way through. I have faith in him.
-
About Sabo's goals interfering with Luffy's goals: he said:"That man's will must be inherited!" He meant Ace' will which is IMHO also Roger's who wanted that the whole world is lookin for OP. And WB said once OP is found, the world will meet a war that could tremble even the WG. So if I am right, Sabo's and Luffy's goals aren't that far away from each other. I don't think that Luffy would be very mad at Sabo, if he used the mera mera to strengthen the revo-army of Luffy's dad.
-

Someone had asked if Trebol's role as bodyguard to the lynchpin of Dressrosa's kingdom meant he was in fact the strongest of the 3. I think his abilities as a
?logia just make him the most suitable in that role.All 3 are as strong as each other most likely.

Burgess will still get the Mera-Mera, no worries.

I'm amazed how Oda made what could've been a by the books Alabasta repeat into such a fun ride. I should be overwhelmed by all the new characters introduced and plots going on but I'm not. Focusing on a specific group or plot development each chapter helps and everything happening makes sense in context to the story. Of course Sabo, like Luffy, would want the Mera-Mera. We should've seen this coming!
Doflamingo, Burgess, CP0, Big Mom, Sabo, Koala, the Tontatas and Barto. So many references to past continuity. No wonder Oda was excited to start the New World. After years of build up he finally gets the chance to show his fans what he's been working toward. This is a great time to be a long time One Piece fan.

Both Diamante and Trebol have very trusting roles that's for sure, and you're probably right with the 3 being as strong as the other.
-
Nice chapter I just read it now and still can't stop laughing at the outfit of Kinemon. I knew that Sabo will be back in the story but not Koala this is just a chock:wassat:…
I'm sure that Sabo can handle Burgess cause he is the same with Ace, both of them were on the same level back then. -

It's just as likely that Acilia is an old friend of the Riku family like Elizabello is and wants to see the more benevolent Riku family reinstated. The way its going right now, it looks like the revolutionaries are just beginning to gather data on the kingdom rather than pushing towards toppling the regime; almost as if they came to check out what's going on after hearing about Doflamingo stepping down from the Shichibukai.
-

Him stealing the fruit would lead to the most interesting scenarios, yup.

Next chapter, Jack will show up.
I have always thought that Jack could be Kaidou's codename, but would it be a bit too much for him to show up as well.

It's Acilia… maybe she's another King Rikku's ex-soldier like captain Tank
-
what was the point of this comment? is it only to get a negative response back? there's not even constructive criticism. It looks like it's just meant to rile people up
it's cuz there was almost no doflamingo this chapter
-
Burgess did not see Luffy and Sabo switch. The picture of him just show when Luffy say he don't want BB pirate to get it.
-
Deep breathes NER. Just keep breathing.
I am.. trying.. I heard the news about the guy who give the spoilers and what he said about the chapter, but I didn't think it would do this to me. ;-;
What? visit this thread before reading the chapter?
I know I am stupid, but not THAT stupid. I read the chapter first and that was my reaction to it.

@Devil:

A lot of people seem to want to live in some hippie commune where Sabo gets the fruit and everything's just peachy keen.
Nah.
Burgess getting the fruit offers more possibilities and would be far better for the story.

Yeah, involving Blackbeard in this mess is the best choice. Even if Burgess were to lose 1 vs 1 against Sabo, he can still take the fruit with him.
Or just have Burgess destroy Sabo. But that won't happen.
-
People also didn't think that Saka would be FA b4 we heard it from Jinbe. And people thought Ace could never lose to BB, but - for the sake of the story - they learnt their lesson. This time I'm not sure what happens to the mera mera and I so wanna see Burgess get pwned. And BB still could get another hype if he kills Shanks in front of Luffy's eyes. IDK where Oda is heading to and thats why I love this story!
-
Now Oda need to introduce a "new Sabo" for us to continue our habitual speculation about new characters
There's always kuina. I had my doubts. I mean c'mon she fell down some stairs!
-
Oh man. All the players are coming together. This reminds of the War. It's going to be complete chaos which is awesome because the Straw Hats thrive on chaos. I have the feeling that Dofla is going to experience first hand what it means to be completely blindsided
Now the big news is Sabo is finally here. And judging by the fact that he seemed as determined as Ace and Luffy and trained under Dragonchances are he is at Beast level just like Luffy.
I can't help but wonder what their main goal here is. Sure taking down Dofla would be a hit against the prestige of the goverment and the fact that he is connected to the World Nobles probably sweetens the pot but ….. I don't know. Considering Dofla's massive criminal connections he probably hindres the government more then he helps them. And consider the extremely pacifistic nature of the country pre Dofla even if they free it the country probably won't join the revolution. So I wonder if their main goal is not Ace's fire logia with the secondary one being to cause as much chaos as possible. After all the Fire Logia is an insanely powerful. Especially if someone as powerful as Luffy or Zoro takes it. They will be a one man army. And considering the hit and run and generally covert tactics of the revolution this will be of an enormous use
Then there is Nico Robin. I wonder just how she left things with he revolutionaries. I personally wouldn't be surprised if she screwed them . After all her goal was to get stronger for Luffy and I can easily see her playing them to get what she wants.

16 char of tsk…

Don flamingo is a terriunbuto sabo is also one of them…is this a coincidence??? Maybe we will have a fight between them!!!!

Sabo was not a tenryuubito, just a noble.
-
sabo is not a world noble :getlost:
-

The wording made me legitimately laugh out loud. Thank you.
And no, Sabo just comes from a wealthy family. He is no "terriunbuto".

She was buried. I hope she wasn't alive.

@Devil:

Burgess is kinda of a minor character in the grand scheme of things. I don't see how that would be better for the story.
Not to mention that whole "We must inherit that person's will!" speech coupled with that shot of Ace and Whitebeard's graves would become very meaningless if Sabo didn't get the fruit.
-
She was buried. I hope she wasn't alive.
Totally forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder!
-
[/finally reads the chapter]
-
So it was Hobby Hobby no mi?
-
Does "Hobi" mean anything in Japanese or is it just the way Hobby is pronounced?
-
Probably the most hyped chapter since Marineford. At the end of this arc, does anybody think Sabo will ask Luffy if he and his crew are willing to join the revolutionaries? It
would parallel Ace and Luffy's first meeting when Ace asked Luffy if he and his crew would join WB's crew. Secondly this would be the second faction asking Luffy to join their
group. I wouldn't be surprised if a third group( the WG) asks Luffy to join the schibuki later.
. -
( the WG) asks Luffy to join the schibuki later.
.That's the last person they would consider to offer that title

I'm so glad I didn't read any spoilers. That was unexpected.

Ahh, that makes much more sense. Ignore my incoherent babbling.
-
Just an honest question: Would "Hobby" be referencing "a child's plaything"?
-
I always knew Sabo was alive but also always questioned why he never showed up to help rescue Ace. Either way, Sabo officially showing up is the best birthday present and I wasn't even expecting it.
-
@Essam:
Who is the man predicted that earlier damn I'm so good
Re: Spoilers Ch.704
I said it from the start with this arc that Sabo will appear and he will cliam the Mera Mera but I don't know how , it's a good chance for Sabo to appear now taking the Mera Mera fruit and meeting…We saw it the first time
-

He's a prominent member of the final villain's crew. He may be hanging back right now, but Burgess is going to be one of the biggest characters in the series come the end.
Luffy and Sabo can still inherit Ace's will. It's not bound to his fruit. It would be good for Luffy to realise that. It's about carrying on Ace's ideals and shiz.
