Here's my theory:
Kaidoh = A former pirate who beat Gekko Moria for his position as a Shichibukai. Perhaps some of the kanji in his name has a reference so an animal.

did it say what happens to a person after they wake up with no shadow?
EDIT:
whoops, didn't see that someone posted a script… never mind.
anyway that 900 dude really rocks. If Luffy becomes rebellious in that thing, Moria is done for in an instant.

It didn't say, but I think it's pretty obvious that you're fine as long as you don't go into the sun. Brooke is still alive and kicking, and that's proof.

That´s most probably going to happen. Considering that Luffy´s soul will be in that thing Moria only needs to say "Make me the next Pirate King" and there he has created his own worst enemy.
I wouldn't mind Brook joining the crew now, but for the record, Straw-Hats should have at least one more female in the crew. W-what can I say…I like females?
Maybe the next crew member will be one. Let's hope!
The next crewmember will probably be a mermaid, so i guess it will be.
On a side note, Luffy will probably gather all of his crewmembers before entering the New World.
Darnit, looks like my laptop don't want to show me lzh.-files x.x Well, I'll give it a try! >.<
I'm curious what question Franky asked Brooke. Robin said "Why'd you ask that question?", so it can't be a question about Thriller Bark's history or the enemy… I predict it wa a personal question, maybe he asked him (just like Luffy): "Would you like to join us?"
Well, the answer made Franky cry and right now, we we have two topics wich make Franky cry: Friendship and manly honour. Hmm, a question about honour is possible, too. But this would be a nice ending of the fight Brooke VS Ryuma: Brooke, nearly defeated by Ryuma, stands up again and screams "I can't give up! I promised it! To my old and new nakama!"
what the hell is that gigantic thing?!

It's probably Brooke's dream. If that's so, then it makes him closer and closer a SH member. Perhaps a flasback will even occur during the fight.
Wednesday release? Sick nasty! Thanks a lot Battle Franky, this one looked muy interesting according to the spoiler.
How big is Absalom anyway. If he is about 6 feet high (and the size of Morias foot, by the look of the new pic in the end, then I say Moria is bet 50-70 feet). And by the look of it 900 seems to be like 3 times his size. So that makes him 210 feet (wow, even Monster Point is small compare to that). I wonder if Ussopp made a new weapon (like some new type of impact dial)
OH MY GOD
Super early, and MQ too. Thanks as always BF!
Man, what an awesome chapter. 900 looks great, and I'm excited about this arc more than ever. No idea how Oda does it.
By the wa, I LOVE the explanation why salt works on the zombies. It's like putting an old myth/tradition in your story, and giving it a logical explanation. Yow!
@ Cap'n Carter
Well, I want to point out again what I said in the spoiler topic: I read in a ghost-book that Zombies can be defeated with salt, because when they taste the salt, they realise that they're dead and "die". It's nice to see how Oda gave us an One Piece-only explanation to this ^^
900 looks bad ass.

Where, there's a longtime legend about using salt to purify, or defeat the undead. I loved the explanation about how the salt has the "power of the sea," so it knocks the DF's hold on the shadows. Awesome.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn son~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Moria's size is inconsistant. I no longer like his design either, he has like no legs.
#900 is a beast. That thing is insanely huge as well. I hope the real villain of this arc is Luffy in #900 and everyone has to try and defeat him after he stomps Moria and co.

Oh, that sack was salt?
Cool inspiration, I love it when Oda twists legends' rules. :D
DAMN that thing is huge. Franky arms too, and weird horns like Moria that shouldn't exist. Kinda like Enel's circle.
What the hell is with Brooke and Ryuuma though? THEY'RE GONNA FIGHT?! yessssss I'm glad I'm alive
thanx a lot ! yayyyyy yay yay
Moria is completely screwed if Oz has Luffy's shadow. I guess he payed too much attention to his physical strength without even considering that Luffy's psyche is a dangerous thing to deal with.
Oz does sound like a good name for #900, since he is the "Zombie behind the curtain".
I wonder how exactly Moria is going to try to control 900.
At first I thought it's name was Ooze or something (is that a word?), but now I like Oz.
Is it possibler that "kaidou" is a title and not a name?
Wait, it's gonna be extremely easy for the strawhats to defeat 900. Pack some pure salt in meat and the rest is history.
Holy fkin D. Shit that Giant looks like Saulo!!! :pouty:
Pd. thx battle franky!
Well as warped as they are even Perona and Absalom have dreams they wish to fulfill. There's a lot of little things I'd like to comment on but I'll just sum it up from what I said in the spoiler thread.
HOLY SHIT 900 is huge and Hogback is a mad genius for putting something of that magnitude back together. When this arc gets animated I'd love to see this monstrosities introduction with the beginning of Toccata and Fugue in D Minor playing in the background.
Kaidou is written with katakana, is it not?
So wouldn't it propably be a name?
Maybe he is one of the yonkou.

While Moria's size is somewhat inconsistant, I'd say that he's more likely to be in the 20'-25' range and 900 would be around 75'-100'.
"Oz" or whatever reminds me of that "Devil Rebirth" guy in Hokuto no Ken.
I'd post a scan but I don't have my raws right now..
Just read the raw. WOW. Thats really awesome !!!
I thought CP9 would be the forever physical strongest enemy in OP… lets see what comes next!
You know, Perona-chan's dream kinda makes me wonder what her reaction will be when she spots Chopper. ><
"OMG! KAWAII! YOU - LITTLE TANUKI - NEED TO BE ZOMBIFICATED AS OF INSTANT!"
OK, I checked. "Kaidou" IS in katakana, so yeah, it's most definitely a name.
And an argument for the membership of Brook is that Robin agrees with Franky when he says, that there is nobody around that good except Brook!!!!!
Okay, I read the chapter now U.U Dang, I think page 7 is a foreshadowing to Brooke's flashback. He seems pretty nervous, too… He stopps and sweats before he runs off and just watch this little "breath cloud" when he finds Ryuma. I don't think this is exhaust... it's fear or he's at least nervousness.
(looks like Ryuma REALLY enjoys his tea, this looks some kind of cute )
EDIT: Hey, Brooke's missing a teeth on the first panel on page 7 and his head is more damaged... o_O Looks like this was a very tough battle and I think this little detail shows us that this little panel is a part of something... bigger oo
Yeah, it looks like Brooke is going to join from this chapter.
Franky crying saying he a great guy and Robin agreeing.
Oz reminds me of Hildegarn from one of the DBZ movies. And yeah, Brook joining looks more and more obvious. I also love how Oda manage to more or less give facial expressions to a skeleton. The guy really is talented.
I know this whole argument was levied at Franky but i think it's actually legitimate this time. I don't think Brook fits the Mugiwara. he's unable to maintain composure of take anything seriously, he generally takes dialogue down to a juvenile level with puns that are incredibly far from funny. Ok on the unfunny pun thing you can blame the language barrier but still, he's too eccentric for a Mugiwara, i'm actually really against him joining. to me he should be considered a Paulie or Wiper and nothing more.
Yeah I'd hate to see immature Brooke ruin their sophisticated "nose chopsticks" sessions.
No. 900 –> OMG I have no idea how they are going to pull that one out! :sad:
"Too eccentric for the Strawhats" is like saying "too idiotic for this forum", does not compute.
Seriously,
There have ALWAYS been stupid puns, dumb gags, idiotic conversations, and so forth in the series. Brooke has introduced nothing new on that front. Characters like Sanji, Usopp, and Luffy are just as flagrantly guilty of "dumbing down conversation" as Mr. Bones.
Two thoughts.
1. Usopp is ideal for taking out #900. He would need to use the slingshot, timing and aim to shoot a bag of salt into his mouth. And fast aim and timing is Usopp's specialty.
2. Brook has the actual advantage in the duel. If Ryuma defeats Brook, then he dies as well. If Brook defeats Ryuma, he gets his shadow back. Either way, Ryuma loses.
The puns are obviously not funny dude, they're meant to be annoying. You fell for it ;)
Going to search for a full script in the spoiler thread
EDIT:
Onigumo, I dunno about that 2nd one. Brooke can't be killed, and he lost 5 years ago to the same person while the person stayed intact right? The only thing that is different is, well.. Brooke's gonna win ^_^

Excellent point!
Ok, I feel better now about Zoro not getting a fight with Ryuma.
stops banging head against desktop
I don't think putting Luffy's naive, immature and free spirited shadow into king kong is such a good idea. That guy is gonna crash the place. How stupid is Moria!

I'm kinda curious about how exactly did you crawl through over four hundred chapters of One Piece without managing to grasp at least the very basics of how the story works.
Excellent point!
But on the other hand, I think Ryuma is stronger than Brooke. A strong shadow fused with a strong body makes a strong zombie. The shadow/characteristic is the same, but who have the stronger body? Brooke or Ryuma? Thaaat's the question!
There's a few missing lines from Uso/Cho/Na right after Luffy's body is taken by the mices, thinking what they can do about Luffy. Right after, the zombies general are on the second floor, on the web passageway, asking where did Franky and Robin go. Captain John is surprised that Tararan was defeated and Jigorou wants to know where the enemy is. There's probably a couple more line lost, but nothing big.
