Ok after reading chapter 513 and seeing just how amazing it was to me. I decided to make a topic asking which part of the chapter made you cry/Laugh/Go DAMN!/Acknowledge Oda's greatness.
For me it was Kuma deflecting luffy's Jet pistol like it was nothing. His arm went a full 90 degrees to the left. DAMN.
I think this thread here: http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=19548 was made for things like this 
I had a question though. What part of the chapter made you do such and such. People might not post that there.
Are you serious? Or did you just make this thread so it could get locked? There is a thread for chap 513
Why would i do that? Me=/= Troll. I'd like a record of what things in this chapter moved people emotionally without all the speculation around it. I dont recall reading a rule about making threads related to a chapter when your intention is not to discuss the chapter as a whole.
Ok My first reaction was download the chapter. ;D
this thread is okay. discuss your reaction to the chapter here. talk about the content of the chapter in the normal discussion thread.
keep it civil, folks.
Well, in all seriousness. I didn't know (from the Spoilers) that Luffy kept trying to attack and save everyone. When I read the chapter and saw his futile attempts time and time again, only to break down at the end crying ~~ that was where everything hit. It wasn't as emotionally impacting as the Funeral for Merry chapter, but it definitely moved me. The last page just leaves you sitting there shocked.
If I may make a contrast that was what I really liked about the chapter: I love it when the good guys have a complete defeat moment in a story. Problem is, it usually is mildly disappointing at the same time because the good guys escape death and complete destruction because the bad guys either underestimate them or are too soft etc. Essentially there is rarely an explainable escape outside a jet shows up or someone saves them and escapes. Either way, hard to write in a convincing and satisfying manner. This one, to me, tops them all giving us a complete defeat, a mysterious and questionable escape, and leaves us wondering "what happened, and where are they!?"
The contrast would be Naruto vs. One Piece. In Naruto, I was enjoying Sasuke getting batted around last week and was hoping he would actually take a crushing defeat for once. In One Piece, I was crying and wondering how they were going to escape while my head was exploding over Zoro getting puni'd to fantasy land. This week Naruto reveals, "whoops, Sasuke wins again!". This week One Piece reveals, "WHAT!?!? They all get crushed, then scattered, and then Oda leaves us clueless!? What should I do? I cannot go on living!!!"
Ok, maybe I went overboard. A little. Maybe. I like Naruto however much it irks me at times; same goes for Bleach, with the same irkiness. (Among other Manga of fair to equal popularity). But the comparison should still be valid, yes?
if this were bleach or naruto, kuma would show up having a change of heart, help the strawhats fight kizaru, die in the process, and luffy would get a power up due to kuma's self-sacrifice.
i like this. i really really like this. the closing line of the chapter left me in awe and i was speechless after reading only the spoiler. but like brennen said, once the chapter came out and showed the whole futile effort of luffy to save his crewmembers, it just got much better. there isn't that many manga out there that can leave the reader speechless and clueless about what happens next.
I was just going crazy at how surprising this all is. I was so expecting Nami to bring Sunny around and they all jumped and left since Nami wasn't in any of the later half of the last chapter. But instead this. Oda is just freaking awesome.
I believe Kuma is helping everyone out though. When I saw that Brook was teleported and then the rest followed I was just…. so the whole crew is going to disappear from infront of an admiral, bunch of cyborgs, and Vegapunks bodyguards. But what helps it even more is that, I just saw episode 368 of the anime. (Were Kuma first gets on TB) Perona says she wants to eascape, she tells Kuma were she would like to go, and Kuma makes her disappear with out even hurting her first. (By the way, Pandaman is in the background in this episode mixed with the zombies)
Kuma just does things how he wants to. And he really likes the SHs. And with Reylaigh talking to Kuma and his reaction being pretty calm. I believe they're safe.
Oh and, "AWWW LUFFY~ It's ok mang, we all fuck up sometimes. And this time it was out of your power." Is what I would tell Luffy.
I have to agree with you both. I had no idea luffy went gear 2 to try and stop Kuma. This chapter was great it really made me feel in shock " oh… oh my god." 
were my exact words when i read the spoilers.

No it's not ok! When i made a topic like this for an earlier chapter a few weeks ago it got closed!

I think these two post are perfect responses to the chapter. This shit was amazing beyond epic and I'm still trying to grasp on to what happened.
My reaction: My God. Kuma is unstoppable with his powers. Of course Luffy can't save his nakama. His power is completely broken. It's like a game where a plot boss is made to be unbeatable just so the player feels helpless and can't do anything except watch where the game goes.
i'm sorry e1n but there's a chapter thread already.
Look at Luffy on page 14. That was my face reaction.

So true! I find myself having trouble writing something original, but it seems Oda had no trouble here! This chapter just made me love OP more. I think this chapter is the kind of thing we were expecting when we imagined a great chapter 500. sure, it was 13 chapters late. but this is what we've been waiting for. ^^

Even if he sisn't logia I dunno how to beat him… Well I can't even see how KiZaru could beat him... Both are at speed of light.
Bounties not power levels are now prooved

yeah, but their are still some who will claim Luffy isn't at full strength.
I felt so sad
i was like nami you know he can't save you don't make worse with a request for help
seriously what a chapter really pulled at my heart strings

join the team if your strong enough
I was really sad
A good amount of the chapter, perhaps all of it pulled my emotions and heart in a amount of ways.
I felt really sympathetic to Luffy. He tryed all he could yet he couldn't save anyone of his crew members, or even himself. Can't wait for the next chapter though.
SNAP! Oda is good. Has there ever been another comic that left so many people drooling with excitement and wonder, or crying from sympathetic or touching moments, or clueless and worried about what will happen next every chapter? I know not every chapter is this good, but this chapter was that good, and that is what reminds me of all the chapters that are this good. And that's a lot of good that this chapter shares. That's, are, this, there, and good. Have has had, do does did, will would shall should may might must can could. >_<
I was so shocked… o___o
I downloaded the chapter, started to read and then I see this...
[hide]
NO SCAR?!!!! God, ODA!!! Such a fail!! THROUGH WHOLE CHAPTER!!! [/hide]
No, I`m serious.
If you think that's a major inconsistency, try counting how many times Moria was missing his stitches on his neck throughout Thriller Bark.
Not really shocking.
I dont recall seeing any close-up panel with no stitches on Moria. Thouse 2 faces of Rayleigh were pretty much very close-up. Either way, I dont care about Strawhats *shrugs
i was sad. When I had thought loosing Zoro was going to be the strawhats darkest moment.. this chapter hits me in the gut! Sad, pissed off (at the world government and how easy the SH's were getting beaten, just for standing up to that piece of shit charlos).. but also frustrated… I definitely felt the frustration of the crew, mostly Luffy. His sorrow at the end really got to me.
Also the frustration of not knowing what will happen next. Are they split up? (probably). Who will they meet? When will they be back together?
I was kinda getting worried about what Oda would do next... shabondy was beginning to drag on. But this chapter reminded me that Oda is the man!
But why did Kuma go against the WG? what are his plans? why did he save the straw hats from their demise?
I guess right now, my biggest reaction is confusion and anticipation.
i guess… kuma send the SH to where vegapunk is, and if im not mistaken, at SBS, oda said, there will be in future that SH will meet vegapunk......
My reaction:
Sums it up pretty well. I don't think anyone would have seen this coming. I was especially moved by Luffy's cries throughout the entire chapter, telling everyone to run away or get outta there. Then of course, there's the "Luffy!" "Nami!" panels. Hello doujins.
All in all, crazy stuff. I've never been so excited for a new chapter of One Piece. Sure, next week will probably not show where the Straw Hats are…but it will show Ace. Or Whitebeard. Or Shanks. Or someone who's really awesome.
So yeah, can't wait.
Believe is song ripped from a dance craze that involves women in as little clothing as possible and crazy sex. The only thing happy-go-lucky about it is my cock.
That panel towards the end where Luffy's on the ground at Kuma's feet, sobbing and alone, really made me feel bad for him. There was nothing he could've done at all, even if he had been at full strength. Of course, this opens a huge amount of directions the story can be taken in, and I'm eagerly anticipating them.
And this chapter may be for the straight pairings what 485 was for the slash ones: and tankerd of gasoline.
So in short, this sums everything up:
Amazing…absolutely amazing
WTF?!
That was my reaction.
One Piece is diferent, do you imagine sasuke disapearing in front of naruto by someone from akatsuki? I can't wait until next week… I need to know what happened to them!!!!
The only positive thing of the SH vanishing is that maeby we can see Whitebeard vs Shichibukai.
This chapter is why I love One Piece.
Simply as that. I've read countless manga and seen tons of anime and I have no effing idea where the story is about to go. I could try and predict it but I'd be wrong. I've seen this type of scene done in other series but NEVER this well. The storytelling is just so simultaneously solid and surprising. Oda-sensei has the audience in the palm of his hand the entire time!
It was weird to see Luffy this shaken for the first time in the series. He actually seemed un-optomistic and downright depressed. Someone made the movie 6 comparison. This is defintely one of the most memorable chapters.
I'm just left craving to see what happens next. Mainly I wanna see if the SH's are seperated or were all sent to the same place. And what about the ship? Were they sent safely to it or what? Are they gonna be conscious during the three d ay air trip or what? What're the reprecussions gonna be for Kuma? WIll Rayleigh and Kizaru just stop fighting now or finish things off? How is Luffy gonna react after being so helpless even with the aid of Gear 2nd?! Is Monster Chopper dormant now?!
Also I liked the moment when Sanji tells Usopp to run and Usopp's like "Now way! We die together!" or something. That was pretty awesome.
I knew just how things were going (I don't read spoilers) that the whole crew was gonna be scattered. But the exchange between Nami and Luffy before Nami was sent away nearly made me tear up. Nami's expression is what did it.
This chapter just blew me away. Sometimes what will happen next is obvious to me but this one wasn't. I so thought it would have been just Zoro that disappeared. This chapter was just stunning and incredible. It left me wanting more. And while I felt incredibly happy, I also felt sad because Luffy had to watch his entire crew disappear and there was nothing he could do. I want the next chapter now.
My reaction?

^^If I don't have sound will that video suck and be really boring? Because I don't have sound and after 15 seconds I skipped to the end…...and then was confused. What is your reaction exactly?
edit: FYI, I am being fairly serious.
My reaction to this chapter was "Here comes Final Fantasy VI". Where everyone is scattered. Shocking. Oda must be playing Final Fantasy VI/III.

Wow Nami and luffy moment was kinda weird for me.I was kinda surprised at it.
And the Nami and Luffy moment gave me weird feelings.
it left me confused as to where the series will go… but there was one amusing thing in that chapter, the fact that brook was still joking until the end
i have no idea what will happen now though
Member of Beelzebub is Freakin' Awesome Group
what I'm catching up on currently: Gintama, lone wolf & cub, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, and lost in poem (by our very own AP member GEPPETTOSMONSTER)
My reaction? More of a "Whoa."
I felt terrible for Luffy, he has had his defeats before, but this one was as defenitive as they come. Not more so because he was defeated but because in his eyes as the Captains of the Strawhats, he became obsolete. Kuma went about without even bothering with Luffy, it wasn't until the end when he even acknowledged him. He was absolutely rendered useless, not even his words or actions managed to change anything that happened and that's what made this chapter so good. I felt terrible everybody but most of all Luffy, for the reason I already stated. :sad:
AHhhhh, doesn't this belong in the 513 thread?????? Isn't that what it's for?????
"Oh f***, oh my god, what the…" with hand on the mouth and eyes wide open
I think it's the best chapter ever on whole manga... The most hardcore chapter. And that was not because Luffy cried
We can feel all luffy's frustration, guilt, helplessness, for the first time in the manga, luffy abandon, throw in the towel after see all his Nakamas disappear... At this point, Luffy is not supposed to know that Kuma seeks to help ... Or at least he has to save them
I think that after this, we will certainly another Luffy, less reckless, more aware of his actions and his responsibility as captain, questioning needed...
My reaction to this chapter was "Here comes Final Fantasy VI". Where everyone is scattered. Shocking. Oda must be playing Final Fantasy VI/III.
I had the exact same feeling! Oda-sensei is defintely a FF VI fan after seeing this and Miss GoldenWeek!
I didnt really read much into the stuff between Nami and Luffy and I'm a fan of that pairing. Are ppl reading too much into that or should I reread this chapter?
Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.
I shared much of the reaction everyone else had, but it was all eclipsed by one, prevailing thought:
BARTHOLOMEW KUMA IS THE SHIZ-NITE!
After actually reading the chapter, his power seems even more badass when he can deflect and bat you away just by calmly blocking you.
No it's not ok! When i made a topic like this for an earlier chapter a few weeks ago it got closed!
There is a difference between the two topics. You created a thread in which a part of the content of the chapter should have been discussed. This thread is not about the content but about the Users reaction to reading the content. That's another layer.
On topic: I have to say it was a very good chapter that made me go "cool, can't wait for the next one", but it didn't make me feel sad for Luffy or sth. After all it's the protagonists vanishing. And it's not like he is left behind for long. Everyone knows nothing will happen to them. It never does in shounen mangas. There where a couple of scenes in One Piece that where more emotional to me. Be it the viking funeral of the Going Merry or the murder of Bellmere. But this is very subjective. For eg. the scene in the underground passage when Robin hears Luffy scream from far away gave me more shivers then the whole Ohara flashbacks.
Oh, I forgot to say this; Nami's disappearance was loaded with a fantastic bit of imagery. Her crying, reaching out to Luffy, calling for help, and then vanishing before she could finish. That was powerful shit. Really well done. This whole chapter is a great example of top-quality storytelling. I've spent a long time studying storytelling, but nothing really beats watching good storytelling in action.
Also, Kuma rocks the box.

Again, another thread I agree with your post, no I'm not a stalker, but I really felt this chapter, it was like you said, powerful:happy:…...... and the part about Kuma, BLAH, he always seems to show on when the SH's are down on their luck, he never comes when they're are at their best!
