whoah… such a nice chapter ^^ thanks BF and eblob
hahhaha.... typical Spanda!! hey... the BC didn't even noticed that you are standing there, despite your position, baka!! XD huahauaa.....
but on the other hand... oh no... hope Nami and co won't get drowned =S
and Gear 3 is.... um... cooll... but not that cool.... somehow I didn't get the 'feeling' I have when I watch the finishing blow of Croc or Enel.... hmm....
ah, whatever... I hope Lucci is down for good....
btw, the double issue isn't a good news... but, Oda defenitly needs break ^^
Chapter 421 "Gear 3rd" Discussion

Woot! Thanks, BF! Can't wait for it to finish downloading!
-
wow… Luffy is now almost as powerfull as Bugs Bunny!
amazing chapter, and I would like to be the end of Lucci but i'm not that confident. Also, Ivotas prediction of Lucci crashing into the Gate of Justice might be true.
Hell, Giant Luffy could probably play with some BC ships
EDIT: And Enel's fight finisher was bland? I'm sorry mister but that was some kickass finisher. Smashed Enel in the Golden Bell, putting to an end centuries old war.
Compared to that this Lucci fight is way bland.
-
HOLY SHIT! Luffy goes Gear 3rd?!?! tHANKS For the link I'll read it then give my opinion ASAP!
Peace! -
Whooooaaaaa~ That's super insane.
-
I think Gomu Gomu no Giant Pistol did lot of damage to Lucci, since he didn't expect his Tekkai to fail.
However, he might still be able to fight…....or not.......since Luffy from the looks of it was waging everything on this last attack...... -
Personally, i don't think Lucci's out for the count just yet, because he's still blocking with his arms in the final spread, even though his tekkai was broken (if not, Lucci wouldn't have been punched out of the building).
Regardless, i sooooo want to see Spandam's face when he spots Lucci flying and Luffy's "small" fist …EDIT
By the way: i don't think Luffy saw any of Sanji's or Zoro's new moves, and vice versa. Usopp's face when he watches Luffy in Gear Second mode's got to be hilarious, and not just Usopp. Just imagine: the rest of the mugiwara's seeing Luffy in Gear Third mode, with his "new" arm ...
EDIT #2
And thank you Battle Franky and Eblob88 (spelling??) for the RAW and translation respectively :)
-
I'm just concerned about the crew now… All getting flooded from the water... OH NOS!
-
OH MY GOD! Gear 3rd is officially broken! (J/K)
So basically Gear 3rd is the opposite of Gear 2nd, right? Gear 2nd makes him somewhat 'solid', while gear 3rd allows him to change his shape (mallaeble). -
This post is deleted!

God no. Why won't you people read.
-
Oda done again..I thought luffy was bulking his self up at first but just focused on his fist again….I bet any other gears(if any)will probably end up being his whole body enlarged just as someone else said..I'm probably gonna have to say that lucci might be biting the dust(or maybe he has that osu),as someone mentioned how Kaku has a wide assortment of moves doesn't mean lucci has to...hmmm where is that pigeon guy anyways....?
-
Gear 3 makes Luffy's body like a balloon, huh? I'm still sticking with the prediction I made in the Spoiler Thread: Hattori is a Rokushiki user and Luffy will have to beat him as well in order to escape!
-
@HTC:

-
No way Lucci is done, he doesn't look beaten, he looks pissed…
He might very well be out of the picture for a chapter or two while he's making his way back to the bridge, and then follow them into the next arc since it looks like it'll be Impel Down..
Lucci is going to be an interesting case after this arc, the WG doesn't want to admit CP 9 exists so anyone who survives will be hunted down...
Lucci to the Blackbeard Pirates?
-
i still want to see lucci in his full beast form. even if for a split second/panel.
-
It's kind of odd to have those random shots of incapacitated CP9 members without Kumadori. Blueno is pretty much a forgotten afterthought but why only show the members who are in or around the Tower of Justice? Although, it's probably just Oda showing the readers that they weren't blown to bits by those cannon blasts in the last chapter.
-
Imo we'll see Hattori fly onto Lucci's shoudler, and Lucci goes mindless, with Hattori controlling Lucci completly. I dont think Oda would completly forget about Hattori.
And maybe the "dead" CP9 will turn out to help the Mugiwara fight the VA and escape. The CP9 fighting the VAs would give them time to escape, and scrap a reason to give the VAs personalities. Oda has the ability to give the SHs the ability to quickly forgive anyone, and if all 4 of those CP9 fight, we only have one spot to be filled to take on a VA…Could it be Lucci? I doubt it, but Oda has really surprised us recently (Gear 3=WTF)
And why would the CP9 help the Mugiwara? I have no clue. Maybe because they gave them the fights of their lives, and they live to fight. CP9 dont really seem evil, just doing their jobs. So why not help the SHs, and die in the Buster Call, with the Mugiwara ahead and a blown up island in the background. A decent way of dealing with the Buster Call without using Usopp or Hulk Smash Luffy.
-
it would be the twist of the century if Hattori turned into a beast and fight Luffy….. ;) (wishful thinking)
anyway, I think Lucchi is done for now..................maybe he might be back in another arc....or something like that.......
I figured from Luffy's fight with Blueno, when Luffy hit Blueno with Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka, Blueno also was using Tekkai.......
This is probably just the same.......... Lucchi used Tekkai, yet Gomu Gomu no Giant Pistol just "push(?)" him through a freaking building.....it's like standing behind a metal wall and getting "push(?)" rammed very very hard by some huge!That's what I think.....or something like that...
-
i'm more interested in why Usopp decided to mention the improvements in the Kabuto. I read it as Usopp saying that BusterCall SHIPS aren't all that powerfull when faced the long-nosed sniper.
-
Lucci didn't get blasted through a building, he got knocked through a wall, like Jabura did several times in his fight. It would be an uneventful finisher, if after all the pain and trouble he caused, he just got a giant push. Notice at the end he was still just blocking, and there was no agony shot or yell.
He did go through a building. Check where the giant fist is coming from in the picture - Lucci started in the building on the right, got punched through its wall, got punched through the building on the left, and was sent flying into the ocean. Admittedly, I don't really want the fight to be over - it lacked a certain "oomph" that Croc and Enel's fights had - but I really think the evidence points toward it being over.
-
Maybe they will take a brief break from the fight to maybe give a little background info about lucci and cp9. Just a thought since many fights in one piece are interrupted briefly to give insight on the villians
-
Hee. Imagine Gomu Gomu no Giant Kane…xD
-
I am just so glad that I resisted the spoiler this week. Give me strength to avoid it next week too please. So, every action has an equal and oppopsite reaction. By inflating himself to be really large, he rebounds into a chibi for a short time.
This is actually a funny chapter. Group A is running away from this giant wave, while Group B is jogging towards it. I can see it now….
Sanji:Namii swaaaaan~ you just had to come to my arms of Loooooove~
Nami: You idiot! This tunnel is being flooded! -
Haha, wow, so THAT'S Gear 3! I never would have imagined that. XD I wonder how that makes him chibi? do his bones collapse? I really don't know if Lucci is done or not…but they only way he's coming back is if he manages to avoid hitting the ocean...
Usopp is talking about "the secret of Kabuto". Guess that means there's more to the weapon still to come.
-
i think it makes him chibi since the all the oxygen blows out and he his bones are reduced insize thats why they turn to normal after a few minutes. I know this anwsers not sicentific but it is one piece for all.
anyways that what i think
-

Have you looked at page 2-4 and saw the size of the BC Ships? Each ship looks to be as long as the entire Bridge of Hesitation with the deck of the ship higher than the bridge surface, and top of mast as high as the Justice Tower . Kabuto would need to be capable of creating explosion 2x bigger that the one that blew the Justice tower top off to do any damage to those BC ships.
-
at this pace, one piece may become weirder than bobobo, not that it's a bad thing

yeah I did… and that's exactly why i'm interested in Usopp's statement
-
Excellent chapter all around, as usual (and quite humurous XD;).
Shigan Bachi. I've been waiting for someone to do something awesome like that. Looks like Lucci's fight is shaping up to be more interesting than originally thought (and awesome how he talked about Spandam).
And Gear Third is just plain cool ("Gigant;" odd o.O ).
-
Kabuto would need to be capable of creating explosion 2x bigger that the one that blew the Justice tower top off to do any damage to those BC ships.
Not necessarly if Kabuto does work with an impact/reject dial as it's been said by some, if it can propel large projectiles fast enough it can create holes in the BC ships flanks, which is all that's needed to sink them after all.
Anyway that scene definitly works as foreshadowing from Oda. And I don't see Kabuto's real firepower being used for finishing that human debris called Spandam, what purpose would it serve exactly, so… Definitly revived my interest for Usopp.
-
Great chapter. Gear 3rd was so "simple" but at the same time awesome and hard to predict, definitely better than i could expect. Though i did wanna see Luffy vs Lucci end this week, i predict the pigeon guy will be very damaged - and pissed - but not over.
-
There's still people expecting Hattori to turn into a fighter?
Usopp is talking about "the secret of Kabuto". Guess that means there's more to the weapon still to come.
Since in the same breath he said that he had 6, and then 10 broken ribs, I wouldn't invest too much in that.
-
If Lucchi is not through, I would like to see either Robin, or a combination of Strawhats working together to take him down quickly with a combo. Afterall, one of the morals of this arc is to trust in your Nakama and to rely on them to do the things that you're not able to do. In this case, Luffy is already spent.
-
@Cap'n:

Not sure I see your point. If it was just some idiotic bragging, comic relief shit Oda wouldn't have made Zoro stop him in the middle of his sentence.
-

Actually, that's plenty good reason for Zoro to shut him up, because he knows he's jsut beign Usopp, and doesn't really care.
-
Greaaaaaaaaaat Chapter !!
Seeing the face of Lucci, I think he could handle the punch of Luffy, and think he will continue the fight .. but who know.
-
~ty ty.:wub:
i'm very curious to see gear 3. -
I have been trying to determine direction where Luci is flying off. At 1st I was not sure why there is another column size building next to the bridge main column but it makes sense when you look at ch420 this top panel.
http://groups.msn.com/onepiecemangav-2/chapter420mq.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=8664The first main column of the bridge has 2 smaller towers on left and right. Looks like Luffys hit blew Luci threw the wall of main column and entirely thorugh the entire left tower. So Luci will not be flying over the brige or back to EL, but at right angle away from the bridge. Since BC ships are now passing the bridge it is likely he will slam into or through a side of one of them. Half of the open Justice gate door is also in that direction as well.
-
Thanks a bunch for the raw Battle Franky. :)
-
@Cap'n:

He shuts him up because he's supposed to be badly injured and people in this state aren't supposed to talk.
But seriously, a new weapon is introduced, that apparently has nothing more than the previous one, he's about to mention something aboutwhat makes it unique and doesn't have the chance to finish his sentence, and you don't find it suspicious?
Strange.
-
He did go through a building. Check where the giant fist is coming from in the picture - Lucci started in the building on the right, got punched through its wall, got punched through the building on the left, and was sent flying into the ocean. Admittedly, I don't really want the fight to be over - it lacked a certain "oomph" that Croc and Enel's fights had - but I really think the evidence points toward it being over.
Buildings don't stop people from getting KO'ed in OP.
Crocodile had a comparitively weaker body, and he had to be hit multiple times and smashed through around 10 layers of bedrock to get knocked out.
This last punch lacked the "Oh shit that has to hurt" feel to it, that the other Luffy KO's have had. Every other CP9er has had one but Lucci. I wouldn't count him out yet.
-
I'd be completely satisfied if they end it with a brutal final attack from luffy even if it's early next chapter. not long till the BC now
-
Thanks BF and all the translators for the chapter! Popeye Luffy was hilarious. Gotta agree with the people that say this battle is over. Lucci may have been the strongest around, but he's no better than Kaku or Kumadori, hes just stronger. HIm fighting LUcci was like him fighting Blueno. Plus his chapter lasted pretty long so I;m happy that its over.
Is it just me or are Zoro Sanji and Sogeking running towards the rush of the water? Thats gonna be some funny stuff when they have to turn around. At least now that its over its BC time now finally.
-

I think so too. Look @ how Kumadori was (his face) after monster Chopper gave him a "nudge": both were using tekkai and we all know the Kumadori's was totally broken, and as for Lucci's, i thought it had, but now i'm not so sure of that. If it didn't break it, then breaking a few walls won't matter, as he's still in tekkai but, if it was broken, then the walls breaking do affect him.
IMHO, his pose when taking the punch and his face both tell me that is isn't out just yet. What we may have here may be a Luffy VS Crocodile reversal, with Lucci being the one to come back, as someone suggested. -

-
A twist like what HTC said would be a great twist
-
I hope it's the end of the fight, even though it doesn't feel like it.
When Luffy hit Lucci with Gear 3rd it didn't seem like it did much damage.In the future I hope Luffy doesn't just keep on using Gear 3rd as the "final" attack because IMO it would be stupid if he just keeps on getting bigger to defeat the enemy.
Please let there be a Gear 4th…Yea well Luffy is always original and always thinks up of new and exciting attacks and uses most of his attacks evenly so it probably wont be use a lot for a final attack.
-
A gear 4th would be extremely redundant
-
isnt it strange that jyabura is still in wolfmode? if he's ko..shouldnt he be like kaku now?
