I find it ironic and fascinating that a lot of people got into one piece during the Punk Hazard/Dressrosa period, and that the fanbase mirrored the Strawhats in terms of growth in numbers (and maybe even in experience, since all this fleet for now is ready to grow just like the new people in the fanbase itself).
Chapter 800: Follower Sake Cup

@Buggy's:
I don't in any way subscribe to the view that Oda was padding out Dressrosa to make a ground-breaking chapter 800. The idea that the "hundred chapters" are important has already been roundly discounted.
Totally agreed.
@Buggy's:
However, the events of this chapter are unquestionably of major importance - moreso than the Kaido reveal in terms of the entire series and OP world. The existence and content of the narration boxes makes that pretty clear.
Oh yeah, like someone pointed out earlier, it's quite reminiscent of the narration boxes after the fight between Ace and Teach, which was obviously a huge, huge moment in the series.
The big question now is….what will the big incident be?
Will it be the overturning of Kaido's zoan army? A massive battle against the fleets of Blackbeard? The EoS war?
Place your bets.

I hope the former, or it may be a decade before we hear again of those awesome captains.

What I find ironic is how Baby 5 is cheering along when they celebrate Doflamingo family's demise. Don't know whether to call her fickle or badass. She's a good character so I'm happy she wasn't swept away in cuffs. Just find it weird that she's literally been raised by Doffy from kid to adult. Probably had enough of him killing her love interests
-
i'm waiting for mangastream to get fully the story, but i got the big picture, it's awesome how Bartolomeo got the meaning of Luffy's mind, also Zoro drinking the whole cup cause he is just loving the booze xD
Aside of that the last panel saying something about the 7 underlings doing something that will shake the world, i'm really curious.
Also the they use it in a future meaning, does that mean we will have another time skip?
Honestly i don't see Luffy become a pirate king at only 19, but another 2/3 years will make the whole story meaningful (in term of ascension)
I'm so excited though, and i wanna know what's going on Sanji's side, and how will they react to the news of Luffy.
Where is the new bounty of Zoro and co btw? -
Since when Luffy didn't liked booze anyway?

0/10 not enough Rebecca
! 10/10 awesome chapter

So do people still think Oda deliberately stretched things out to chapter 800?
Like, the chapter has some nice stuff going on and it's set up Luffy's future fleet but…not really that earth shattering, no?
I think there are certain things very interesting about the chapters filling up to 100,200,300 and so on.
In chapter 700 HIS PACE we have the narrator saying something like:" Even a big wave that could destroy a city… in the beginning... is just a little ripple that no one notices. It is a decks of the world chapter. We see Kaidos factory in the coverstory... we see Kid... Morias ship first time after presumed dead... crocodile... Luffy screaming, speaking with Dofla for the first time. We find out he has the mera mera and supossedly left the shichibukais... we see Akainu the first time after the time skip... find out about buggy and the mistery 7. samurai... find out about Zou...See the seats and Doflas whole Crew for the first time...the chapter ends with the strawhat aliance arriving on the shores of Dressrosa.
It is basically the start of the Dressrosa arc! Chapter 800 is the moment they leave the shores. Basically the End and the Beginning of an new incident.
The narrator in chapter 700 foreshadowed the End of Doflamingo and now he is foreshadowing another huge event. So i think that there is something special to these chapters. Someone made a list yesterday and there is much evidence, that it were always very important chapters. Maybe looking back the events dont seem that big but when the chapters were released there where always big news or the beginning or end of an arc. Chapter 500 first appearance of Rayleigh... Chapter 600 setting sail after 2 year time skip Rayleigh seeing them off...chapter 400... saving Robin jumping over in enies lobby... Chapter 300 Big Party after BEATING GOD ENEL with Mantra...and Poneglyph stuff with Roger and so on. Chapter 200 Luffy fighting for real for the first time against a shichibukai Chapter 100 setting sail onto the grandline...
Always some big announcements by the narrator or some other big development.
"Narrator notes the strange "Only Follower Sake cup" brought these seven men together as followers of Straw Hat Luffy.
These seven will continue to grow, and will cause a huge incident that goes down in history."
But no one know the tale just yet. -
These 7 captains remind me of the 7 warlords for a reason.
What if they will replace the 7 warlords in a way, after the warlord system goes down.
Luffy will be the pirate king and they will be for him what warlords are for WG.
The WG will go down, it will be a free world. Luffy will be like some sort of leader
Also, what is the chance that the 7 original warlords of the WG have been the former 7 fleet captains of Gold D Roger? We even saw them at his execution, young all.( croc, moria, dd, mihawk.. )
-

I'd say about 0%?

well at best we have seen him drink beer..or what we can assume was beer
sake is a bit stronger than that

! 10/10 awesome chapter
It's a 10/10 cuz we finally move on… Even while my heart hurts knowing that Bartolomeo has to say goodbye soon I'm glad we will move on. If things will play out oerfect we will get rid of Law for the next arc as well... Sadly I doubt it

I doubt we get rid of Law before Kaidou is beaten.
-
Kaidou is going to be in this chapter, the curly hats, maybe even some stuff with Big Mum!
hahahahaha

Why is it that whenever I see the word "sake", I hear Tom Cruise yelling it repeatedly? Thanks a lot brain.

Ahhh 800 chapters! Awesome~

There's pretty much always big news at the beginning or ending of any given arc, it doesn't really matter if they're a hundredth chapter or not.
All of the stuff you've listed is, again, good stuff but nothing earth shattering.
The pacing around each of these milestones never seems to land x event on the y00th chapter.
In fact, there are generally larger events within 5 or so chapters to either side of the 00's.

They didn't even set sail in chapter 600 either, so yeah.
-
Ahaha I just realised how Oda purposely put two panels next to each other, one of the giant drinking from a sake cup that to him is tiny, then to Leo drinking from his which to him is huge. Well done, Oda. Well done.
Also Mangastream made Luffy say "poofty"… I am really starting to hate this translator. Like sure I should be grateful these people do this for us but how hard is it to just not use the word "poofty"? Which isn't a word... And is probably offensive.
-

Let's not let that get in the way of a good story though.

Mangastream's up:
http://readms.com/r/one_piece/800/2932/4
Ship with the horse figurehead must be Cavendish's, I gather?
-
this chapter makes me want a pet gorilla
-
meh, nothing special… so i'll wait til next week
-
I still find it weird how easily Baby 5 has just switched sides. Sure Lao G revealed at the end that the Doflamingo family were just using here, but they still raised her. For all intents and purposes Buffalo was her childhood friend and now she's celebrating their demise. She's a cold piece.
-
Mangastream's version is cleaner-
I don't remember when we last saw Boo, now found him to Robin's left in middle left panel on the
last double spread. And it looks like she switched from beer to wine between right panel and left, lol.Gambia lives! Bottom right of the last spread, next to Franky.
-
so they sail on Dressrosa at chapter 700 and they sail out of it at chapter 800. Yup, doing a 100 chapter arc didn't cross Oda's mind, at all.

That's why I'm happy to see the end of this arc, but at the same time sad if i think that another 100 chapters arc may start and it may end after 2 years and half :banghead:
-
This is cute as hell. You're dead inside if you didn't enjoy this bit.
The feels intensify when you realize….Kyros was a toy....compared to a human, I would wager you can't feel as well, if anything. The body itself had to be cold wood during the winter…

he also wore gloves when he was last human, so i think the symbolism of is pretty great. I think the best part of the new dressrossa characters was soldiersan and rebecca flashback.

700-800 is 101 chapters.
-
700-800 is 101 chapters.
Hmm, did it begin with 700 or 701? Technically 701 was the one called "Adventure on the Island of Love, Passion, and Toy-
….actually it's all just semantics, isn't it?. I bet some SBS down the line, someone will write that Dressrosa was 100 or almost 100 chapters, and Oda will probably go "huh really? I didn't even notice."
-
Oh my god on a Wednesday? I'm so happy, another day of wait would have killed me. But I saw Scumpanda tendencies all over the translation. Luffy being worth 5 million? come on man…
And it all went down sort of like I expected: Luffy wouldn't accept them, but they insisted and now they are on the squad. And finally, finally FINALLY they set sail from Dressrosa.
-

She may not have been happy there for a while considering when we first met her we saw her trying to kill Dofla for murdering yet another one of her fiances. Even if it was for her own good. Hopefully for her Ninth time's the charm.

if that's so, one of 7 must be fish-men species,

Nice chapter to me. I think Dress-rosa arc is over. Even if there are some things still to be closed, it's rather the kind of things remain opened and solved in future arcs (Bellamy, Doffly, Fujitora vs Akainu…) or are used to create a connection with other stories.
-
Mangastream's up:
http://readms.com/r/one_piece/800/2932/4

I'm somewhat disappointed that is not a Cavendish statue.
What's up with Bellamy? Did anyone saw him?
-
Remember how Zoro joined the crew ? He was forced and didn't have a chance to say "no". And now he made the bottle empty so that Luffy also forced to be their boss. Is it a revange ?)
The thing about Zoro emptying the sake cup is just for comedy. And Luffy didn't force Zoro to join, Luffy saved Zoro life and Zoro joined.
-
The question now is whatever will Fujitora do?
Akainu said he can't return without SH's head.
And the biggest thing this arc needs to solve. Where is Burgess? Did marines capture him? Will Fujitora bring him instead of SH so Akainu forgives him? Will Green Bull be on the move soon? Did Big mom eat Sunny team yet? Did Kaidou eat Kidd's team yet? Did Oda forget about Bartolomeo's briefcase?
And you aren't a man unless you drink a cup of Sakazuki's lava:ninja:

Unexpectedly chapter of One Piece but it should have been expected, a rather bizarre way of forming a grand fleet, but since it’s luffy I guess it works. It makes sense this way every one will do there own thing, when needed will then be call for and vice versa.
I like how stubborn the 7 new underling should I say are. Luffy’s bounty increase has finally been confirmed nice, still waiting for one or two more bounty updates. Barto really is an amazing character he easily stole the show during DR and this chapter.
Fujitora’s WTF face was pleasing to see, another interesting character introduces, I think will like green bull, also when his finally introduce.
I like the narration of just what this fleet and the underling will go on to achieve, I guess is Oda’s way of saying they will be BIG.
-

You will see him next chapter for sure
-
Still no news of Ucy and Farul ! :(
I hope they're fine, I'm started to get worried !
-
all i do now is find the Bartolomeo Ship in the entire pages
-
Still no news of Ucy and Farul ! :(
I hope they're fine, I'm started to get worried !
Farul was seen a couple of chapters before.
-
Meeeeeh.. Nothing special except my Ideo appearance.

This post is deleted!

And here is the first rant.
-
Great chapter!
I mean, I knew there wouldn't be anything amazing just for the sake of it being the 800, so I was expecting just what we got… and the last pages were lovely!
The part with Cavendish and Sai yelling at Luffy was my favorite, because it shows those guys will have a dinamic just like the regular SH. And even though it' pretty obvious Oda stalled as much as he could to make the arc end on the 800th chapter, I am just happy we managed to get through it while leaving behind ominous possibilities like Rebecca, Viola and Bellamy... all the more that we kept amazing possibilities like Cavendish, Bartolomeo and Leo.For now, I am really looking forward what those 7 will do in the future - and a formal name I can use to call them collectively - and to get some world development in the next chapter (it's too much to dream of a Shichibukai reunion with the Reverie at our doors?)
-
man some world news coo's are needed badly here!

I liked the whole a free man who doesn't take the freedom of ours thing. Very cool.
