Gear 4th is one thing, but awakened devil fruits?! Oda, y u do this?
Chapter 785: Even if my legs were broken…
-
-
Chapter has ended just like the previous. It is both informative and useless )
Dofla tells about some risks. Any opinions ? -
Glad that this turned out to be a much better chapter than I initially presumed in the spoilers.
Burgess reappearing, Zoro + samurais and Franky about to do something to the birdcage, the awesome sprinting grandma and Dofla definitely not finished yet. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I even appreciated Riku's speech.
did jimbei just take the poneglyph with him….
I certainly believe he did even though it was nowhere stated in the cover story text and that he just brought with him "souvenirs". Oda's probably doing this on purpose so that we'll be pleasantly surprised when Jinbe presents the poneglyph to Robin once he meets up with the crew.
-
@Nex:
Shit I just realized…unlike with Alabasta, I don't think the Strawhat's involvement here can be covered up, and Riku can certainly never sit on the throne again as a member of the World Government, after what essentially amounts to him allying with a pirate to overthrow a sitting king.
Which leads me to another thought, the World Government is definitely going to spin this as the Strawhats attacking a peaceful kingdom, no? And there's no way Doflamingo is having his Warlord status revoked, is there?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
well doflamingo is pretty much destroying the kingdom with his birdcage so there really isn't a kingdom left for him to claim. riku will probably be named king of the land and the name will be changed to something else.
-
I don't understand the point of Burgess planning to attack Luffy. Is he actually going for the money? If he was, shouldn't he be attacking Usopp instead?
But yes of course, seeing Doflamingo in this condition, there is no point in bringing Usopp to him. Either case, there isn't any hardcore motivation for him to attack Luffy at this point of time. Looks like a plot made to just get Sabo to pitch up against him.
-

The Tontatta will help rebuild in record time, and in return the island with henceforth be referred to as the Kingdom of Usoland.
-
Well what do you know, zoans aren't the only ones that can awaken.
But holy shit, what is an awakened logia capable of, on top of everything else? Maybe that's what Aokiji and Akainu did to PH, even though I think with abilities like theirs, it's entirely possible even without it.
Wasn't much of a fan of fighting this time. But the focus of this chapter wasn't on the fight anyway. Don't expect Dofla to be done, since he did block and since he did just reveal an ace that didn't even manage to do anything to Luffy in the end.
I have a feeling they will end the fight in weakened states, Luffy without the Gears and Dofla without hax variations of his ability.

Nah the headlines would be fujitora revokes doflas title and everything else will be covered up.

Luffy is a enemy of the Blackbeard Pirates… make sense to take him out while he's weakened.
-

I believe he's seen as a legitimate threat to the BB pirate crew, and Burgess thinks he can take him here and now (well, after he's done with Doffy) now that he's within reach.
-
When Luffy will fight against Kaido, he will show the awakening. But Kaido will tell him that there is a second level of awakening and he is still a newbie who knows nothing.
Enjoy reading ) -
Kaido: You know nothing strawhat luffy

@zeff:

For how long? With all the people from the other parts of New World on Dressrosa knowing the truth and spreading it, the cover up won't be that sucessfull.
Oh right, almost forgot.
"Well, what a suprise, it was Burgess after all. Who would have known!?" :ninja:
I love his scarf. That pattern probably doesn't mean anything. It's probably just a coincidence it maches the patter devil fruits have.
-
Gear 4th is one thing, but awakened devil fruits?! Oda, y u do this?
Did it 150 chaps ago.
Now what really deserves an explanation is why Awakened Zoans are in the same state all the time. Dofla's power is not able to turn everything into strings, as the fake spoiler said, so is not really a problem.
Luffy and Teach are people who are obliged to get the awaken state. Suppose Logias really turns the enviroment into the element… the thought of create everywhere a threshold to darkness is amazing.
-

Enjoy reading )An awakening PAST an awakening.
-
Either Oda forgot that Luffy threw away his sandals before going Gear Fourth (volume correction incoming) or Luffy went back and put them on again.
-

I don't think it's just a scarf but a classic Japanese burglar bag. And in that case I'd assume he's been looting some of the artificial DFs amid the chaos and has since finished.
-

It expands the possibilities of dfs fightsfor the future. And seriously it's not as bad as the spoiler thread made it. Dfs power sprouting left and right makes up for interesting fights. Now imagine what a true df master can do….
-
Dflamingos awakened moves have white at the end.
Pillow white? LOL but srsly..
Offwhite.
Break white was an awakened point as i pointed out earlier.

Why bother with artificial df's when dofla might have some real ones in his vault where burgess just came from.

@DHL:
An awakening PAST an awakening.
luffy is going to reverse inception. he will call it gear "reverse".
-

I think it's a legit goof. That or he had a spare pair in his shorts, or put them back on as you said.
-
The fact that Doffy said that Luffy cannot use his own powers at all shows how powerful Doffy is. Doffy is gonna go crazy in the upcoming chapters. Of course after people's reaction to King Riku's speech which will take up half of the chapter.
EDIT: It's also annoying that Doffy didn't use Haki against Luffy's last punch unless that was done on purpose.

Lion Bazooka is probably his most powerful move. It will give Luffy some edge when he gets back to normal gears or gear 1?

We know about this since Impel Down, we just though it was Zoan only.
-
Awesome chapter… Really loved it and so glad that this turning people into strings was super fake and I was just trolled.
Burgess is back and the fight for sure isn't finished.
Am I the only one who maybe believe that the smile factory will be central for protecting people from the birdcage?
That's a great thought, but normally it would be Sanji who would come up with ideas like that.
-
That was a nice rousing speech from King Riku, I read that speech in Tom Kane's voice.
Overall, I feel that the chapter isn't the last, just second or third to the last . It made me think about the possibilities a awakened Devil fruit can do .
It looks like We'll see what Franky, Zoro and the Samurais will do to halt the birdcage and why do I have a feeling that unless its find out We'll see what Burgess took till later on . It could be treasure or something more important . -
This is probably the biggest tell indeed. There would be no need for Zoro to do anything if this was it. The set-up itself means Zoro will do something, meaning the cage is still up, meaning Dofla is still alive and well.
Same here. Additionally Doffy deserved a better fina blow than that. He was hyped up into the heavens and back, no way this was his defeat. Moria had a better goodbye from the stage.
I wonder what Burgess had in that bag. Maybe the bag's pattern hints the Content (DFs!), but on the other Hand we saw the same pattern when Riku or Cobra disguised themselves as "normal persons".
Law could cut the seastone handcuffs on PH, but Doffy's strings can't cut the factory? Hmmm, … -

-
It's a really awesome chapter minus Riku's speech and all …
However looking at how Doflamingo got buried into the plateau ... next chapter I'm expecting luffy going back to his normal size, people want to rush to help him or to celebrate ... then Doflamingo grins and turns the whole plateau forming it into something to kill luffy ... that's when the final battle begins.
-
Got a feeling we will end with some form of irony. Because of the Seastone walls of the Smile factory; it won't be destroyed by the strings. So all the people of Dresrosa can hide in there to be save.
The one thing they wanted to destroy (the factory) will be the only thing legt standing after the cage closes.
-
LOL seriously, 10 minutes skipped with probably best part of a fight, the biggest struggle now that playing field got leveled? And most chapter was focused around cage that is probably gonna be stopped very soon? Kinda weird…
From all that Doffla took on and how short the final fight was (only final fight, not counting all the little skirmishes, help of law etc) I think Doffla might still move...
But on the other hand that editorial note that special move decides the battle seems to confirm it's the end right? -
Oh good lord there was so much crap in the spoiler thread. That we even went with.
Never again.
-

No he couldn't. He used his powers to break his own, which weren't seastone, then used his sword to break the seastone cuffs on everyone else.
Edit: too slow

You don't say. :ninja:

Hurray for the chapter!!!
-
My thinking is Doflamingo is done. That attack is more than worthy for a villain like Doflamingo. Thinking back, Crocodile and Lucci were beaten by Gatlings, Enel was beaten by a Rifle, Hody and Caesar by a bazooka. This is absolutely Luffy's strongest attack yet and quite possibly the strongest he has now. It's not like he is going to pull out a Gigantic Thor Jet Red Hawk Bazooka Python Gatling or something.
Next chapter I am going with a Blueno type parallel. Where Doflamingo seemingly walks it off or is at least still standing for a few seconds, says some things and then his glasses shatter and he falls to his knees. Regarding the birdcage, I think it is already in "retraction" mode so even though Doflamingo is down, the strongs will continue what they are doing because they are already returning to Doflamingo. This allows Zoro to slow down the birdcage and pile everyone into the factory. The End.
-
Called it that the one koala was afraid of was Burgess..
Not sure I like the awakened paramecia… We already saw awakened zoans in the form of the minoguards at impel down..but being able to turn things into strings without even been touching them?seems fan fiction like stuff
-
Not sure if it has been picked up, but the awakening thing turning the surroundings into the element of the devil fruit could explain how Sakazuki and Kuzan turned Punk Hazard into a hell of fire and ice and how it stayed this way long after their fight. Hell, I could even see some of Crocodile's moves be retconned into powers only usable when you awaken your devil fruit (when he created a sandstorm for example). Remember his line about using the full potential of your devil fruit ?
-
Dude still managed to "fufufu", he isnt done.
Dude will rise again, and shit is about to get real. -
Yeah doflamingo is down…they need law to cut him up though so he doesn't come back with a vengeance
-
It's obvious Doflamingo is not down yet.
Who wants to bet that he turned the building below him into a string cushion reducing the impact? -
Great chapter!
Wonder when the battle will be over. Clearly it'll be long enough for Zoro to "stop" the strings and it be purposeful. -

I thought of the same thing (couple of posts before), but honestly, their abilities are already so OP. With 10 days of blizzards and magma showers… And each island in OP has it's own separate climate. I'd hate it if it was suddenly revealed it was all because of awakening. Even more so if Crocodile's ability was retconned as well.

Well to be fair, Spoiler threads are never that long.
