yes, never got it why Oda protects Zoro so much. Is he a sucker for badass characters too?:ninja:
He's clearly a Zoro fanboy.

Oda protects Zoro? So why was he stomped by Enel, Lucci, Fujitora? Why was he beaten by the fodder Yeti Cool brothers, and unable to break out a cage in Fishman Island?
Zoro was never beaten by Fujitora, they just exchanged blows.

Yeah, but Zoro did not come out of that exchange of blows looking like a man up to fighting an admiral.
Nice chapter.By the way…where is that guy with the sonic avatar that was whining like hell during the last chapter thread because doflamingo was defeated so easily?
Nice chapter.By the way…where is that guy with the sonic avatar that was whining like hell during the last chapter thread because doflamingo was defeated so easily?
He GOTTA GO FAST'd the hell out of chapter threads for a while after Doflamingo stood up, that's what. He's running on loops for a while repeatedly to let off some steam.
At this point, after such a long arc, I just wanna see Kaido in dressrosa delivering the final blow to doflamingo. It's not gonna happen I guess but that would be a cool way to introduce him. Also that scene of doflamingo in the wall looked like the one when he was a kid and was tortured by the people of the town.
Just read the chapter! I have mixed feelings about it because Oda didn't give us yet crucial info about how Haki works.
But before I talk about this, lets start with page:
!
Are these strings around Doflamingo's hand on the 2nd panel? It seems that he is doing something to himself, maybe repairing broken bones with strings?
Otherwise I do not see the point of the sound effects ("snap", "Zuzu")
I really dislike that I can't figure out how damaged is Doflamingo. I mean, he took all these monster attacks from Law and Luffy and he still walks around like nothing happened.
On the 7th panel of the same page it seems like the side effect of the G4 is not only fatigue because his Haki was used up but he also loses control of
his rubber ability therefor his body becomes too rubbery.
Next one is this page:
!
Burgers actually says that HE is going to steal Luffy's DF, does that mean that Blackbeard didn't use his ability but another way to steal DFs from other DF users?
In this page:
!
he is trying to stab Luffy even though he is a martial artist, not a swordman so does that suggest that they cut a DF user and steal their ability?
That could only mean that when someone takes a bite from a DF that piece of DF stays in some part of their bodies.
In the same page, Sabo appears. It was really obvious that he would save the day and I don't really mind that he did.
Now, about the whole "haki has a time limit"…. Well I hope Oda has a really good explanation about it because right now it doesnt make any sense... As far as I know, haki is willpower
and I don't know about you but I don't believe that willpower has its own stamina :/
That could explain why Luffy didn't spam his Haoshoku Haki whenever he was up against weak opponents and also why he only took out 50K fishmen instead of all of them in the fishman island
but it still doesnt make sense.
Before I start a conversation like this though, I will wait for more information about the subject since right know I have very limited info about it.
I am sure Oda will explain this in the next chapters...
Now, for the next chapter, it will definitely show some Sabo vs Burgers action but what I want to see is zoro stopping the birdcage and the chapter ending with Luffy dealing the final blow.
I know I am asking for too much but I don't want this to drag anymore... We don't need anymore pointless panels... Just a few pages of zoro stopping the page, maybe 1 page showing Sabo
overpowering Burgers (not defeating, because I suspect that burgers will try to escape with the DFs) and 2-3 pages of Luffy preparing and then dealing the final blow.
So Luffy isn't strong enough to beat Doflamingo alone, after all.
I doubt he will use gear fourth in this fight again. Either he uses something different or someone else will finish Doflamingo off.
Now the question is: how many panels will Doflamingo need to finish the whole mob?
One page spread of everyone falling through his CoC either not talking or giving a speech.
You are beginning to sound like Darth, Do you want Luffy that can't even move to save himself or Gatz to block Burgess attack? Did you complain when Jabura was about to kill Usopp and Sanji appear from nowhere?
It was clear Burgess will attack Luffy, It was clear who will save Luffy because that person was called many chapters ago. That person was also called again the moment Burgess jumped of the roof but yet you say he came out of nowhere. This is so unlike you Rob.
What a major Deja Vu. You even misunderstood Robzillas complaint in the exact same way as was done before. I strongly encourage you to go read through the thread, so we don't have to spend time untangling your misconceptions and -
wait
Oh god
You are beginning to sound like Darth…
This is so unlike you Rob.
@Me:
Finally, the cherry on the cake is the "you're sounding like Darth!!" angle. In other words, you're pretty trying to shame Robzilla out of his arguments by comparing him to another, controversial, poster "hey dude, I compare you to darth, you don't wanna be like Darth do you, so stop posting lol". How quaint.
I sincerely hope this isn't going to become a forum shorthand: If someone has a viewpoint you disagree with, and dares to argue this viewpoint with you over several posts, you can just reply with a condendenscending "you're pulling a Darth!" and instantly discredit the opposing poster.
Fuck me, it is a thing. Robzilla makes a one-line critical remark in his first post in the thread, proceeds to reply all the people who quoted him on it, and eventually argues back and forth with the people who disagreed with his criticism. What a stubborn unreasonable ass! Quit clogging up the thread with your negative opinion by replying to people who didn't let your Sabo comment slide Rob! Quit being a Darth!
And really, look who it is you're throwing that "negative" label at; its not well-known over-critical grumpy asshole like me, its friggin Robzilla, a guy who its fair to say generally sees OP in a positive light, and who often debated against the very Darth you're invoking now- but because he voiced one criticism of the series, and held on to this opinion over the course of several posts, now he's suddenly ruining the mood, he's not the same Rob anymore, now he's a Darth? Come the fuck on.

That's what I was thinking. I think they are HARVESTING Devil Fruits, like organs. Thus the black cape over Whitebeard. Too gruesome to show (audience-wise for Oda) and too secretive for the Blackbeard crew.
Normally I would rather he, y'know, did wrestling battle stuff, but I think this is indeed part of the technique.
There is a hole in what I am saying, though, if this is true. Why the cape/tarp for Whitebeard but not this scenario?

Yeah, this is bugging me too. Why isn't everyone ganging up on you, a real, 100% pedigree over critical grump, and instead focusing on Robz, who's still a noob in the art of grumpiness?

Must admit they jumped on Robzilla quick as a flash. Still not quite sure what he did wrong.

But Daz is all sane and rational about his complaints like RobZ and they don't completely overshadow any points he tries to make by being so trivial.
Where's the fun in that!
I can never really argue with him because if there's any guy who makes valid complaints, it's him. I ESPECIALLY agree with his complaint a chapter thread or two ago about Luffy's focus being beating big bosses (not truly from within the character, but this idea is imposed on him by the story) instead of…
The "a" word... That mysterious "a" word lurking in the distance behind all the big important complicated plots and powerful enemies that are in the way...
Must admit they jumped on Robzilla quick as a flash. Still not quite sure what he did wrong.
He said Burgess was more important a character than Sano, and he feels he's been getting the short end of the stick being constantly one-upped by him. Personally, I'd disagree on Burgess being more important, but agree with the complaints about Sabo's portrayal. But apparently to question Sabo is to call down an angry horde of fanboys ready to tar and feather anyone who dares criticise him.

the cape was oda's need to know basis plot device. We were basically told in Punk Hazard that you just have to kill a fruit user and have a plain fruit nearby, or, in a devil fruit pattern napsack, and just kill that person. For all we know, thatch could have already eaten the yami yami, and since he was the cook, and probably in the kitchen, the darkness devil manifested into a nearby fruit.
Really I think a lot of times on this forum people prefer to single out individuals to try to silence their idea/complaint. The selective quoting process makes it so simple to ignore most people and pick out the ones you don't like and extend the argument. Then some people who shares the complaint/idea joins in and gangs up on people and some 2 page argument turns into 10+ pages LOL

Ah, so the knife was simply to quickly dispatch Luffy, then have his fruit transfer. Sounds reasonable. Time for work, brb.
So is Fujitora gonna eat ramen for 10 minutes or something?

Wait… Excuse my digressing, but when in the manga did they say Thatch was the cook for the Whitebeard pirates ? O.o
In Gear 4 Puffy has the goods to put Doffy down, he himself said one more hit would do it but ran out of time.
Luffy needs to be become more efficient in his haki use and stop grandstanding so much, his opponents in the new world will not be as foolish moving forward.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I personally don't rate Burgess at all, no doubt he's tough but he is more likely to be Franky's or Sanji's opponent in the end as Zoro will be busy with BB's swordsman recruit from Impel Down.
I also don't mind Sabo stepping in to deal with Burgess as Oda pretty much telegraphed it.
Luffy also said he would out Doffy down with Lion Bazooka.

Dodododooo Daz, the manga section undertaker, the meanest of overly rational and sarcastic seniors, beware
…wow I'm tired.
@$abZ:
Well if you compare Nami and Robin to their designs when they first appeared, you'll understand what I mean. I general there's a lot of oversized characters with goofy designs these days. It wasn't as frequent earlier in the manga so the designs were more striking, but it's become too much now in my opinion. Same with DF abilities… at one point they were considered rare and a lot of people didn't even know they existed. Now most new characters introduced have one, and some of the abilities are too similar like Mr 5 and Gladius. I think One Piece has gone on too long... I remember once thinking that Blackbeard's DF ability was a rare catch because it neutralised DF powers, but now with haki that's long forgotten.
What I'm understanding here is that you want Oda to limit himself in terms of ideas.
The goofy designs help make the characters memorable. Same with DF abilities. Also, the earlier designs were very similar looking too. There were a bunch of Zoro and Nami clones (the standard male and female designs at the time), even more than now.
And Blackbeard's ability is still the only one that takes away DF abilities (Haki doesn't do that).
Lol, this forum is better than a soap opera.
Hey thats not a bad idea
We could put on some melodramatic theme music every time threads devolve into petty personal remarks
"You're not who I thought you were! Why must you always argue with me? Why can't you just concede my point?"
"Well, its not what you posted, its the amount of times you posted it…"
VIOLIIIIIINS
Forum
Finally finish reading all pages.
It was pretty surprising to see Rob get the treatment usually reserve to Darth with the strain of reply about his dislikes. He seems to have handled it like a pro. I wonder if that will become a new thing.
I doubt Zoro will be use to merely stall a weaken Dofla. Not badass enough.
Chapter
Good job on Law invading Luffy's cover request(or is it the other way around?). He's definitely not eating that bread.
Luffy should really learn to finish the job when he can. Especially when he has a time limit on his abilities but it's fun to see the different normal citizens have on him. I wonder where that 8m legend even comes from.
So we finally know the drawback of the form. 10 minutes without haki and generally useless. Like I said before I don't like it. A form he develop during his training days shouldn't have such drawback. Especially if that's what he used to tame the beasts but I guess MC power just can't work without drawbacks.
I like how Doflamingo gets down from the mountain. It is useless destruction but sometimes it just works. Him having to fend off the gladiators to get to Luffy reminds me of Akainu having to face the commanders. I like to imagine the future confrontation as a mix of this and that.
Burgess has pretty good jumping power. His jump while crushing Pica's spike was quite a watch. I would like to ask why he didn't enter the fray sooner but I will pin it on his crew mentality: attacking an enemy when he is already down. That makes the character less stupid but it does not do much in making me look forward for a fight with it. I'm still surprise he wants Luffy power. I don't see how stretching make such an awesome ability, even in his case.
On another note, it is a shame Koala had no chance to shine. It was to be expected but it's still a shame. Oh and Champion should have gone after Law. No excuse on that.
Gatz was a pretty cool character like usual but it is kind of weird how the gladiators obey to him. It's not like he was their leader or something. I wonder if the gladiators can last or if they will need help.
Sabo has to be the slowest powerhouse on that island. While everyone is jumping from one end to the other he barely makes it on time to save his brother. His smile says it all: "I'm awesome like that."
I really get the impression Doffly received a script from Oda before the arc started. I don't see another explantion for the way he is acting.
No way Champion stand a chance now when he couldn't handle pretty boy at the coliseum and that was one mera fruit ago
Random That's got to be fake-Nami's cousin on the bottom right.
I guess Champion jump all the way to his boat to get a change of cloth. Cold is bad for his health
Am I the only one surprise at how (almost) every building got a terrace at the top .I wonder if it is so Dofla can take off wherever he is?
I immediately thought of people where talking about Burguess skipping leg day when Koala made her comment
This scene remind me this one and this scene remind me this one.
So is Fujitora gonna eat ramen for 10 minutes or something?
Since none can hope to handle him, I imagine marines will get trapped under the rocks that fall and fujitora will use his power to get them out. Before they get out, DD will be defeated, Luffy will be long gone to Zou:ninja:
The triple D and the will of D. He aint going nowhere.
Sabo, as a character is dead and buried, the one who got resurrected is Ace.
Sabo doesn't feel like a different character from his childhood. It's Ace that changed from angsty boy to Sabo to angsty boy again during the war.
@uniaka:

I want French Legionnaire Death.
All these things would be failures if the objective were the things you stated.
- Colloseum objective grab the mera mera and throw every other competitor out of bounds - mission accomplished.
- Hold off Fujitora from interfering with Luffy vs Doffy - mission accomplished and he even gained Fuji's respect and made him call a truce.
- Protect Luffy from getting cheaply killed by Burgess when Luffy was at his weakest - Mission accomplished.
I think he was rather successful in all that he did actually. Try harder.
He was fighting Burgess pretty seriously in the ring. Yes his ultimate goal was to get the Flame Flame fruit, which he did, but he couldn't actually beat Burgess, and he only got the fruit because he took advantage of the distraction of the toys turning back into humans and destroyed the ring before anyone could react. And none of this, he wasn't fighting Burgess seriously crap, that would make Sabo a total idiot.
Same goes for Fujitora. Yes he stalled him from getting to Luffy, but that is what Fujitora wanted. Sabo was fighting with his all, while Fujitora was wasting time so it wouldn't be so obvious to his men that he was hoping Luffy would be able to beat Doflamingo. Remember Maynard's reaction when he found but Fujitora and Sabo fought to a draw? He knew it was bullshit. Sabo technically achieved his objective, but only because it was the same objective his opponent had in mind.
so if you're going to try and go as far as quantifying why you and everyone else hate sabo suddenly, which is anyone's guess, you're actually at like -6.
….... See below....
Pretty sure Nex isn't hating Sabo, at all.
This. I'm tired of the Gary Stu accusations. I was trying to make a hyperbolic point about Sabo's (rather minor and unsuccessful*) role in this arc. Obviously dind't go over well.
For the record, I love Sabo. I think he's been great.
I literally forgot about Fujitora existence in this chapter. He most be getting pretty good at fading in the background.
Actually, I'm not all this much bothered by Sabo vs Burgess. It is neither a surprise nor very interesting, but I can simply shrug it off. Oda wants to showcase the protective big brother, I don't enjoy it, too bad for me, end of the story. If we're lucky this may end dramatically and create more bad blood with the BlackBeard pirates, final antagonists are slowly building up either way, that's good.
On the other hand, especially now that the cage is shrinking even more, I find it increasingly difficult to stomach Fujitora's inaction. Apart from rescuing little Timmy, what exactly does he have planned that will justify sitting on a bench while the entire population is herded toward certain death? Will he keep eating ramen when the first citizens are beginning to get minced like onions ?
The worst part is that Oda seems to have written himself into a corner here:
- If Fuji does act against Doflamingo it will ruin his own plans and tarnish Luffy's victory (in the eye of us, the reader).
- If he stays idle to the very end, well what did he even get his status for.
- If he keeps rescuing little children, well that's very noble of him but unless that involves his incredibly keen hearing or gravity control did he not have better things to do?
- If he acts to stop/slow down the birdcage, at least I'll be impressed but then why did he not do that half an hour ago?
I'll wait and see how this develops, but unless Oda brings another surprise dish to the table (have Fuji confront Burgess? Now that would be worthy of his title) it might really feel as if we would have been better off with Bastille alone
I know this isnt popular to say, but I believe oda knows what hes doing by now and hasnt wrote himself into the shrinking birdcage on accident and knows how this will end.
Fujitora is protecting citizens. If you got chapters and panels of this you would complain, you guys would complain no matter what, Sabo being a perfect example . Not you personally, seafarer, im speaking to the general loudmouth forum that is impatient and ignores directly given characterizarion and declared intention. He was showed up to arrest law. His own personal feelings against the schiubukai are conflicting with his duties, and saving innocent people is all he can do right now. I know you all want to see grandiose things from everyone at every given moment, but just trust that there is an overall plot point to this,and just enjoy the free service you are given.
For the record: im not saying you can't complain of course, but don't ignore what is actually happening vs. what you want to happen, and then justify that complaint by making up reasons that fly in the face of what is actually happening because its really easy to understand.
On another note, it is a shame Koala had no chance to shine. It was to be expected but it's still a shame. Oh and Champion should have gone after Law. No excuse on that.
Why no excuse? Does he even know how powerful the Ope Ope no Mi is? Did he see it being used?
Issho and Sabo agreed that they both should be useless pieces of shit while Doula tries to kill them all for no aparent reason at all.
So, for the record, you are just trolling right?
Fujitora has stated time and time again why he can't do anything against Doflamingo. He's doing what he can to help the citizens without causing any direct aggression to Doffy. Just last chapter he found the kid the mother was looking for.
Sabo's not even in this country for Doflamingo. The Revolutionaries have their own objective which they have to accomplish before all else.
Actually Burguess is just perfect for Sanji, they both have been ridiculuzed ever since they entered the NW.
Ridiculous fight upcomming!

All this talk about the Sanji treatment but truly the guy who had the worst treatment post timeskip has been Smoker, four consecutive losses, and he was arguably stronger than Sanji pre-timeskip. Sanji hasn't done too bad and there's still time for him to redeem himself against Big Mom's ship :)
I wonder why Sabo went for a sweet chin music instead of whacking Burgess with his pipe.
Actually Burguess is just perfect for Sanji, they both have been ridiculuzed ever since they entered the NW.

Logical conclusion: they end up losing like Sai and Ideo during the Colosseum Fight, with Teach instead of Chinjao.

Ahh there is no admiral on the island it was all an April fool by Oda.
Its really just Bon Clay. :ninja:

Law is a warlord. Hes world famous for collecting hearts with his fruit. Burgess was definitey eyeing the fight. Blackbeard knows about the fruits. You have to study all of them to be able to tell them apart. If the birdcage device wasnt bulldozing the country and oda had all the time he wanted im sure Burgess would cause a lot more damage here or at least try.
Best conclusion to Dressrosa would be if after the strings of birdcage come down Kizaru or Green Bull is waiting on the fringes to carry out a buster call and make mince meat of the island, that way we can all pretend Dressrosa never happened and archive the events into the void century folder.

The only fight we saw him watching was Luffy and Doula. Heck, for all we know, he probably doesn't even know Law's there. The fight has been distracting him all this time.

Are you new to reading weekly by any chance? Did you catch up during Dressrosa.
@Nex:

I wrote that comment in jest, unless you took it seriously? I've been reading One Piece since I was 10 years old, I'm 23 now.
Nice chapter overall, but only now we learn that are limitations to haki usage? Wasn't it like 200 chapters since we've had Rayleigh half-assed explanation on haki? Really, Oda should've given us a good breakdown on it ages ago.
BTW, can't wait for the Sabo hate train, it shall be glorious. lol

I don't even think it's that the haki has a limitation, it's the fact that he over-exerted himself into working it into his gear fourth AND having the haki meld into his rubber body, instead of making it rigid and allowing it to instead retain it's rubber properties that has lead him to the point of exhaustion. I think standard armament haki is just a coating but when used in the extreme it leads to fatigue. It's just how I interpreted the whole thing, I could be wrong of course.

You could interpret that way, but the way Luffy says "If I can just recover my haki…" (MS translation, don't know how accurate it is), it most definitively implies on a limit for Haki usage.
