I keep thinking, are there other rookies? It would make sense, because what are the odds of all the rookies being thre at the same time (I know lots of coincidental things hap[pen)
Chapter 499 "Sabaody Park" Discussion
-
-
Nice chapter! Zoro was about to get everyone in a TON of trouble, but I expected that he would end up somewhere at the wrong time. There were many other Rookies at the place and I thought they would be a bit nastier to him, but the circumstances are different than previous ones.
Also, to shen_ron, even though they are indeed very strong, an Admiral has been shown to be strong enough to put up an excellent fight and would more than most likely beat them all. Not to mention that Admiral would be coming with a fleet of other Marines and what not. So even though they are strong rookies, it would be a major problem if an Admiral and a fleet or however many more Marines came over to have a talk.
-
it is still possible that chapter 500 will show what shakky was reffering to about the government being busy with something else.
-
Awesome chapter. The idea of Zoro giving out directions is hilarious. Can't wait to see what's in store for ch.500
-
I'm still hoping that while Luffy is chasing Camie he knocks down a few nobels in the rush.
-
Awesome chapter! I was expecting tons of "This chapter is bullshit filler! I don't give a fuck about an amusement park!" bitching in this thread, I'm pleasantly surprised.
I didn't notice Bonney's changing appearance till I read the discussion, it explains Zoro's statement now. And lol, Arlong wants to ride the Ferris wheel.
-
Excuse me,did we see him do it ?
At least it looks like ice cream and there is a slurp sound in his speech bubble.
And it's really nice to see Arlong once again.
-
If we get smth special for 500 this is an idea:
Its mentioned by the old lady that marines have their hands full with another matter…and we may just find out what that is...could be, not saying it is but could very well be connected with Ace and Impel Down...
Even if we dont get it in the next chapter, this was the most questionmarks above my head thing in this chapeter...
Otherwise Zoro appearance in front of that noble and reactions of Supernovas was also awsome...Good chapter all and all - just need to see where are we going with Camie being kidnaped again...I hope it take us to smth great/new if we look at the storyline as a whole...

…Okay, "Sabaody" it is. This chapter was kind of all over the place, but there were several moments that I really liked a lot.
First, that tiny image of Arlong, Kuroobi, Hachi, and Chuu looking up at Sabaody Park when they were kids--it's really great. Arlong's been old news for ages, but now, we're starting to learn why he constructed his own Park in the first place, and why he hated humans so much. It's not that I feel sorry for him--it just makes his character easier to understand, which is pretty awesome. It's these kind of connections within the story that make me love OP so much.
Speaking of hating humans...the scene on page 10 (with the Tenryuubito riding the slave like a horse) was just as disgusting a sight as the first time they were introduced. I haven't wanted to see someone in OP get what's coming to them so much since Crocodile.
And I said this in the spoiler thread, but I'm glad that the rookies show signs of being smart as opposed to arrogant, like Bellamy was. (Though if anyone's going to fill that role, it'll probably be Kid.) Not to mention that the reputation of the Straw Hats is "a bunch of crazy people"...hilarious.
-
Yeah, I really hate the nobles. I don't want them killed, but I do want every bone in their body broken and they be confined to a bed with nothing to their names for the rest of their lives.
-
I didn't read the whole thread, but I think that there actually is a chance for a super cool chap 500. The "Marine HQ is busy with something else" is an excellent build up for sometyhing big, f.e. Dragon or WB + Ace.
-

I think everyone is hoping for this and it's very likely to happen
-
Great chap, dont have much comments as usual, but(sorry if it's been mentioned before) that slave pulling the noble along looked alot like bellamy(or maybe its just me).
-
I'm not sure if it's a little bit far-fetched, but couldn't it be possible that the guy who's shot by the Noble and carried by Zoro will play a bigger role later?
Of course, it's possible that he and his fiancee were just introduced to show the cruelty of the Nobles, but I think we already saw enough of that when the first two Nobles were introduced. Not sure about that, maybe the story need to proceed a little bit before we can judge that…
-
Bonney is alot like Alvida.
-
The "Marine HQ is busy with something else"
This give me the feeling that WG are busy preparing to celebrate their 800th grand anniversary!!?.
-
Excellent chapter. Looks like he decided to give us another referance to this big Incident going on in the New world regardin Ace. Can't wait for that.
My god, those Nobles really are a vile group aren't they? Too bad Zoro didn't kill that a-hole.
Hopefully some of those a-holes will get taught a lesson before the Pirates do a great escape to Fishman Island….. -
Wow this chapter was really great, this time I am really impressed with Oda's imagination.
I did find it funny that Brooke is uncomfortable with amusement rides.Though I do have a few questions, maybe someone could answer them.
So is now official that Zoro is the first mate?
Why cannot mermaids and fish people go to the amusement park? -
The noble surprise that someone dodge the bullet
if the noble shoot Luffy and the bullet just bounce off, i wonder what their reaction will be lol
-
Yeah, I really hate the nobles. I don't want them killed, but I do want every bone in their body broken and they be confined to a bed with nothing to their names for the rest of their lives.
Or how about… they have all their bones broken, are confined to a bed for so many months as it takes to heal, then JUST as they're starting to heal enough to walk again...
...One of their former slaves is allowed to do whatever they want to them.
Lather, rinse, repeat. Yes, I absolutely despise these World Nobles, in case you were wondering. Can't wait until Luffy eventually makes one of them eat dirt.
-

No reaction, penetrated head more like it
-
I don't know if it was mentioned, but the guy on which the noble is riding looks a bit like Duval.
-
I thought this chapter was pretty good overall, we get to see luffy and co have fun at the amusement park.
We saw a couple supernovas, we learned about something big going on outside, and we'll probably see some action next chapter.
We saw
Capone Gang Bege - 138,000,000 beli
"Big Eater" Jewelry Bonney - 140,000,000 beli
"The Magician" Basil Hawkins - 249,000,000 beli
"Roar of the Sea" Scratchmen Apoo - 198,000,000 beli
"Mystery Monk" Urouge - 108,000,000 beliIncluding Zoro, thats 6 supernovas at one spot. and 4 of them has a bigger bounty than Zoro, yet none of them stood up to the nobles…
I think Bonney might have a devil fruit, don't know what though.
Maybe like some people say the age age fruit, or she could have a fruit that can manipulate her bone structures... like to make it grow or shrink.She also doesnt seem like a bad person either...I wonder who can eat more if it was a eating contest between her and Luffy.
-
Yay, no Chibi wrath~
So, box-face isn't unconcious, but not standing either. <3 Kaku does look annoyed, and Fukurou does seem to do well with kids. The one on his shoulder looks like him when he was younger, in a way…!!!!
Bonny doesn't look too much like a kid at all. She must be younger than Zoro but it was probly only drawn that way. IMO she was just drawn differently.
-
@Bartholemew:
But I have a stupid question: Is the Tenryuubito eating ice cream? If yes, how?
He wears a soap-bubble helmet.
-
The Supernovas are scare of Admirals, I wonder if they are afraid of SCBKS too.
-
-
which is why he asked how
Well, Luffy can go into a soap-bubble without breaking it. I don't see the problem to put the ice cream in the bubble without breaking it.
-
Who wants to bet that the Tenryubito in this chapter will soon encounter Nami and Robin and try to take them as his wife?
-
Possible-I see a certain possible "help" scenario already .
-
Great chapter. And yes, the cruelty of the nobles astounds me. Hopefully that guy will get his fiancee back, but I'm sure that with the Strawhats around everything will be set right.
I too found it interesting that Brook doesn't like fast amusement park rides. I guess being cooped up on a ship for so many years slowed him down.
And man, there is just so much going on on this island…er archipelago. We've got the Strawhats, the Nobles, the Supernovas, Rayleigh, the possibility of an Admiral, and now this Peterman guy.
Well, I wonder what Oda's got in store for us for chapter 500? Hopefully a colorspread, I think we're long overdue for one.
-
Well,either it would be an epic one-but then the already slow progressing CP9 story wouldn't ever end.I can understand he likes to take it slowly,but this could now shift to something ELSE….........
-
GAH! I dont care who it is, I want somebody to beat the shit out of one of those pompous blowhards! Fuck the Tenryuubito!!!
-
Who wants to bet that the Tenryubito in this chapter will soon encounter Nami and Robin and try to take them as his wife?
Like Nami or Robin would let that happen. :P
Haha, it would be so ironic if they attaced a Tenryubito for self-defence.
Capon "Their place is in an asylum."

After actually reading the comic, there is no relevant info in this chapter at all.

So the power higherachy in the OP world is irrelevant i love it.
-

You're not relavant:getlost:
It's called "a story".
-
Does it seem long? Not compared to Meet Baroque. Maybe because of the two weeks off it seems lengthy? It's only been like 8 'volumes' of the CP9 story.
The very beginning of the chapter with the Marine HQ was already relevant enough. Besides that…What do you mean, Miracles?
-
you didn't find the topic of the Marines off worrying about something else right now to not do anything about the supernova 11. I mean its probably not everyday that 11 pirates with over 100 mil are on all the same island.
Yet they have something more pressing they are attending to. Since you seem to hate these chapters so much. Tell me what a relevant chapter would consist of. Or show me an example. I personally thought this was a great chapter.
-
No one's mentioned the other possibility yet: Gecko Moria was taken down. Now what?
-
is anyone familiar with the spy fox series? Arlong reminds me of napoleon leroach

@Yan:

I don't think Moria's situation is enough to warrant not sending at least some marines to try to capture Luffy and the other Supernovas.
Besides, they already know since Kuma already reported to Sengoku, and the Gorousei want Moria to continue as a Shichibukai since the incident at Thriller Bark will likely stay hidden.
-
This post is deleted!
-
Maybe Dragon is doing something weird that deserves all the attention of the Marines, it would be about time to see our favourite revolutionary do something awesome again.
-
Gecko Moria was taken down but what does that mean to HQ? Are they saving him or what? It must have something to do with Dragon, Whitebeard, or maybe even…Blackbeard and Ace.
But it's still a big part, isn't it? Plus Caimei getting stolen. It has something to do with ch. 500.
-
Anyone think that Kizaru is a noble himself? I doubt Kuzan would help a noble even if he was ordered to, and Akainu doesn't seem like the kind of person to bow to them, either. Obviously, ONE of the admirals has to enforce their tyranny or no one would be afraid of blowing them off, so I have a feeling that Kizaru may be part of the nobility.
Either that, or the Nobility puts huge amounts of funding into the Marines.
-
@Yan:

Nothing. They've already mentioned several times that the SH Crew are getting ever closer to Marine HQ. Its clear they'll probably be after them again, once they enter the New World.

I doubt it. It is clearly refering to the whole Incident with Ace's imprisonment.
-

You misunderstand. Read Kidany's and KittytheClueless' responses to get a feel of what I was aiming to communicate across regarding Moria's defeat.
-
It could be the Shanks and Whitebeard situation, Gecko Moria, or Dragon is causing trouble.
I like that on page 9 you can see Arlong, Chuuu, Kuroobi, and Hatchi as kids.
-
Oh, they were cute as kids even if we don't see them well!
And I only like Hatchi. XDThis chapter was soooo good!
I'm looking forward to read the 500th, I'm sure it'll be a great chapter!Bonny is so cool, I'd like her to join the crew!
Well, I know she's already the captain of a crew but…
I like her better than Caimie, even if Caimie is kind I dunno if she'd be very useful.
And Bonny is funny and strong. ^___^
