Reg. Usopp's surprise @ Franky, I can't remember the panels exactly but was he watching at that moment? Or was he off-panel? Might we assume he was ducking or doing something Usopp-ish?
Of course it could be a miss. Oda has had plenty ^o^

Honestly, I missed Franky doing something cyborgish when I read that chapter, because I don't remember what he did. Usopp wasn't right in the middle of the action, it's not too much of a stretch to assume he missed it.
Wanse scares me :blink:
Funky chapter…
Having Franky, Usopp and Sanji all in the same cabin at the same time...
Priceless.....
I just hope Wanze doesn't make any sausages.

Luffy was unable to recognize Foxy when he's dressed up. O_o. Most possibly, man Wanze's freak!!!! I hope Nero is a sane person O_O
I actually like the design of Wanse. such a freak of nature…
I can't wait to see what sort of upgrades Usopp has done to the clima tact, I mean I could picture Nami having even more difficulties with her new attacks (remember alabasta).
Plus I feel the vibe of Usopp returning to the crew, and I'll be happy to get either Franky/Paulie but then I'd be sad to miss Franky/Paulie.
Yeah, Wanze's design has grown on me too. I'll like it even more if he starts busting out badass kung fu.
i don't mind wanze's design, but i still really hope that he and sanji have a cook off instead of a battle
for me wanze is one of the worst designs, he even beat shojo (the singing monkey brother) in that.
About Yokuzuna, do you think its about time the trains reach the Shift Station? I'm guessing thats where the tracks branch out to the 3 different locations. If true, what if the Straw Hats end up in a different city because CP9 changed the course. heh.
Nami~~~ <3<3
poor T-Bone XD~ but he'll probably end up encountering Luffy and the rest
an awesome chapter
and black shorts for Luffy?
well that's a first o.O
he's going into stealth mode XD?

They'd only do that if they knew they had Rocket Man on their tail. At the moment, their only enemies are Sanji, Franky, and Soge King, who are already on the train.

IF? There is no if about it. If he dosen't take down Sanji, Uss…Sogeking and Franky, then Nero will. Thus the battle will finish at Enis Lobby, setting up a Franky kicking Spandam's ass bit. Besides if they cleared out the entire train, then there would be nobody for Chopper, Luffy and Nami to defeat.
My predicitons for battles...
Luffy vs. Lucci (Luffy said it, it is set in stone...)
Nami vs. Califa (Woman vs. Woman)
Uss...Sogeking vs. Kaku (Something tells me Sogeking is holding a grudge against Kaku.)
Zoro vs. T-bone (sword vs. sword)
Franky vs. Spandam (Grudge over Tom)
Sanji vs. Wanze (martial arts cook vs. martial arts cook)
That leaves Nero and Buleno vs. Chopper, the Frankies and the Shipwrights (and maybe Robin)
That's my battle predictions and reasons.
Nero vs. NiRo sounds promising.
Silly question, do we know if Nero is male or female?

I meant if he does hand-to-hand stuff instead of throwing around food. Though a food fight would be funny and entertaining, I doubt the government would have some goofball slinging around meatballs as the head of one of their intelligence agencies.

Don't worry Capn' Just look at him in the last panel. He looks ready for hand to…foot(In Sanji's case) combat. Also just look at his sixpack abs in the intro picture. He may have a few food attacks, but I'm sure his combat skill will surpass Mr.2.
Franky is off the chain in this chapter, he's like the friggin' Terminator.
HA! I said the same thing. Check the bottom left panel on page 15 and tell me that doesn't remind you of Arnold.
Looks like the Rocketman is gonna get to the cars that were dropped.
I doubt this wil happen, but I'd love to see Franky, Sanji and Sogeking take out the main villians while the rest are busy with T-Bone and co. It would be an awesome change from Luffy beating the big guys all the time.

I really wouldn't like that. Not only would all the build-up have been for naught, we wouldn't even get to see Luffy and company kicking ass. Well yeah, they'd kick some ass, but it wouldn't be the same.
And I love Franky, Sogeking and Sanji, but having them beat the main villains just really doesn't feel right to me.
Besides, like Onigumo said, it's pretty much set in stone Luffy will fight Lucci, anyway.

Hey, will Yokozuna try to beat the train again!?!? He could try that on three trains: Puffing Tom, 2 carriages of PT (assuming it's movable or moving by inertia), and Rocket Man. I hope he'll defeat 2 carriages of PT.
When this episode finally pops up television, somebody has, has, has to make a video clip of the Sogeking theme song.
So the last few cars are stranded on the tracks… I wonder if Rocket Man will just carry them along until it hits Aeneas Lobby.

From Stephen's site:
Corgi: Now, to list off the heads of each car…
First, in the caboose, Car 7,
leading a group of government officials,
The boxer from Cipher Pol No. 6,
"Jerry."
Increasing in strength from there... In Car 5, leading 40 marine sailors,
Marine HQ Captain [Taisa] and Former Royal Knight "T-Bone."
Next, in Car 4 and also steward of this voyage,
Cipher Pol No. 7's martial artist, "Wanze."
And in Car 3,
CP9's newest member, Nero, awaits.
For a convoy, we have absolutely no fear of being attacked,
But we still have adequate guard
in the case of the unlikely.
Thank you again, Stephen.
Stephen's translation of this chapter described him as a "Food Fighter" too.
Something like in 'Figthing Foodon'

[snapback]57341[/snapback]It wouyld have pretty hard to miss, so if he really didn't see (Lucci's counter was BIG), it would probably be because he was ducking or something.

Uss…Sogeking vs. Kaku (Something tells me Sogeking is holding a grudge against Kaku.)
[snapback]57508[/snapback]_
Soge's never met Kaku. :P He'll probably stick him for "no reason."
I'm pretty sure Usopp saw Franky use Strong Right against Lucci. He was standing up and facing CP9 when Lucci revealed that they "killed" Iceburg, and when Lucci beat up Franky, Usopp was there like "OMGWTF?!@?!?!?"
And now that I think about it, Wanze isn't too bad of a design… I've seen worse (Mr. 3, Control Freak from "Teen Titans")
Thank you for the chapter, summary, and translations, everyone.
Hmm. I liked this chapter quite a bit.
Sogeking Song!!! … No one gives a shit.
I'm looking forward to seeing what that "Perfect Clima Tact" can do. And, simply enough, I loved the "Nice filth..." line as well. =/
Sanji, Sogeking, and Franky kicking ass. What more do you need?
Super Franky!
Wanze is a freak. An indubitable freak. But, as Cap'n Carter said, his design isn't all that bad. But still... His "special ability" is a bit much, even for Oda.
It ought to be interesting to see Wanze fighting. Will he use food-based techniques? Hands-only? Feet-only? Who will fight him? Next chapter ought to clear up a couple things about his fighting ability...
Nwami-swaaan~ :wub: You also get my seal of approval.
Hrm, T-bone better get on the RM, that guy is too kind.
Wanze. . . Quite possibly the freakiest character that Oda has produced.
I REALLY don't approve of nasal noodles. Wanze is gonna haunt my nightmares forever.
Sad Luffy and Nami in that one panel makes me sad. :(
i guess franky will join because of the fridge sanji will use it to store his food
Actually, that fridge is just for Franky's cola.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. It would have been very, very hard to miss.

Usopp probably never got an explanation for why Franky coudl do Strong Right til now. Though, techinally, it's Soge King (who had never seen Franky til now) who got the explanation.
Maybe. Though, Soge looked suprised before the explanation. I checked 352, and Usopp was maybe….2 feet away from Franky's right arm when he did the Strong Right.

oh yeah…. sorry for that ^^; I'm slow at noticing things.
btw, Zoro is wearing new jacket, same pants I guess, and Luffy is using new pants and same vest. is it possible that the 'new' cloth they're wearing actually one pair? Nami brought only 2 pieces, one for her own, and the other is given to the boys ^^; well.. not that it is important. just my silly thought B)
heehee great chapter, i loved it. i would get a nosebleed too if nami changed clothes right in front of me :blink: . also nami's new weapon imo looks awesome and i hope ussop put some new party tricks into it :P . the only thing im disappointed with so far is that we haven't seen sanji in major action yet, and since sogeking appeared we'll finally see usopp in some 1v1 action (last time was when? arlong?)
SogeKing is so cool… I just have to say that. I would've thought that government agents are more powerful than Marines, but I guess they're no match for the great SogeKing!
Hmm, a food fighter? One who can process food. Sanji's knowledge of food is great, but he never used them in battle, save for catchphrases and move names...
does anyone know how many days have passed since the arriving to water 7? i'd say we are currently at the evening of the third one:
first night, iceberg is attacked by robin and blueno
2nd night, the attack by all the cp9
3rd night: the umi-ressha departure (or is it the same night as the attack by the cp9? oh well, i can't see the time flow in one piece…)
it's just that i don't know where is the log pose, so if it's still on water 7, we still have at least 4 days (more than enought to finish an arc) before it sets to the next island.
oh i also wonder if they'll destroy the puffing tom before,or when, it will arrive at eneas lobby, if that's the case (it is very luffy-ish) how will they return to water 7 and get a new ship?
Day 1: Usopp v. Luffy
Day 2: Franky, CP9
The train was supposed to leave at 11, so it's safe to assume it's very early into the third day.
Well, didn't they say in number 4 there is Wanze and Tsuru ?
Or am I wrong?
Nope, only Wanze is mentioned in car 4 by Corgi.
…and I dunno where you got "Tsuru" from.
^^Heh, yeh. Why would she be there?! :P
Forgive me my ignorance but who´s Tsuru? <_<
Anyways I wonder if anyone else agrees with me that the Eneas Lobby situation will be similar to stoping the Rebels attack for Arbana in the Alabasta arc? You know the whole time it was all about stoping a war and when Vivi and the Strawhats finally made it in time Baroque Works was still able to foil the plan and let the war for the city begin.
I just have a feeling that somehow the same thing will happen here, just when we all think that the good guys are going to make it, the bad guys will foil the plan.
Tsuru is one of the Marine Vice Admirals, we meet her at the Shichibukai council at Mariejoa. I think she was first introduced in ch.233 or 34, definitely vol.25. ;)
Ah ok thanks. I remember her. It´s just that she´s one of the character´s whose name I for some strange reasons don´t save in my brain but at least I know who she is. It´s guys like Sengok who take the space of my inner hard drive. :D
I see… it was in number 5 (Taisa, with T-Bone...)
Anyway :lol:

Not too sure what you mean, 'cause there's no war.

Oh, well, since they couldn't do that, they jut kicked the mess outta B.W. They're out to whoop CP9 now, so I don't really see them failing there.
