I think we look at the same situation with different opinions. I agree we do not know the details about Doma's surrender, but if WB were fighting the SHs, I wouldn't be surprised if Ace were sent. This was also at a time before Ace even became a WB division commander.
Why? That is a completely baseless assumption. If Ace&Luffy had no connection why wouldn't WB send Joz, Thatch or #5 or hell even #13 Atmos? Atmos is an exaggeration, but the point is you have no idea what WB considers a big enough problem worth of one of his top men.
Not being a division commander is irrevlevant. He still recognized Ace's strength. Thats why he fought him personally to measure his potential. Being a commander is about responsibility to your crewmates not just power.
As far as comparing Little Oars Jr. w/ what Luffy is currently doing, the physical size and power of the two characters is different, but Luffy has also had his own rampage plunging toward saving Ace. At least enough to get the attention of Sengoku, the Admirals, and Shichibukai. Unlike Little Oars Jr. though Luffy is still standing because he has had the fortune of being saved by attacks from Kizaru, Moria, and Smoker.
I agree that many of the New World pirates can or may have been recruited for Shichibukai just like Ace was, but I can't really see why some people view the SH's as weak compared to the New World pirates. I see them holding their own in the New World, but against YonKou is obviously another story…
You're not making any sense. You point our yourself the clear difference between Oars rampage and Luffy's struggle, yet still don't understand why the SH are weak compared to them? Luffy isn't blitzing through these marines like Enies lobby. He's barely knocked away a dozen and has managed to get tagged a few times already.
Only reason he's gotten attention from big boys is because he fell from the sky, has big names around him, and is Dragon's son. Not because his abilities are noticeable on the battlefield. My point about some of them possibly being asked to become Shichibukai is that pretty much all the warlords would take a group effort(either whole crew or just trio) in order for the SHs to defeat or last against them.
Same would likely be true for some of these Stronger New World Captains(certainly Oars), weaker ones still being a pain in the ass for M.Trio. Remember the SH aren't entering the New World without power-ups(Ego&knowledge boosts in Ussop,Chopper,&Robins' cases).
You know if the Smoker vs. Hancock does happen (as I think it will) and is shown then a lot of how we s perceive haki will likely come from the fight, I'm interested to see how it will compare to Nen from Hunter x Hunter, I started reading HxH a week ago and I'm wondering whether or not Oda will make haki anywhere near as complex as Togashi made Nen.
Oh god I hope not… I had to think to understand Nen... When you read a comic, you arn't supposed to think.
It was quite enjoyable though.
:blink:
To be fair Sengoku did give a slight mention to the marines about not letting the rookie change the tide of battle but on the otherhand Luffy made note of how tough these marines are.
Robin was portrayed to be very strong initially. Her bounty was roughly the same as Croc's and she was defeating everyone who opposed her without breaking a sweat. Her lack of strength/power didn't become apparent until Croc lit her up like a Christmas tree. We then found out later that her bounty was based on her knowledge.
Like anyone else though, her DF ability will match up well against some people and poorly against others.
THIS!!
no one was saying they thought robin was strong because she didn't fight. i said it was really hard to tell where she lies power-wise BECAUSE she never fights. but yeah, initially she was portrayed as someone to be reckoned with.

The Nen is one of the best shonen powers ever. But i hope that the haki is only for touch the logia guys or simple things like the kuja's arrows.
well that chapter answerd if the kuma that is there is the real one and its not,its a px that looks just like him.
the question is if there gonna tell what really happend to him in this arc?
i guess kizaru mean it when he said he got some answers to do…
Well, I was going to speculate that if Vegapunk could use Kizaru's laser in Kuma's hands, maybe he's figured out how to give Kuma's ability to the Pacifistas…
But then I saw that it's Bible Kuma on the battlefield, and there's only one of those.
@Weto:

Well we can already deduce that it's more than just that, we've already seen the eye knockout thing, some type of mantra and possibly whatever allowed Marigold to light herself on fire.
@Fire Fist:
Well, it's more implied than anything.
OBJECTION!
@Fire Fist:
The pirates who recover their shadows indicate that Moria fought on the level of Kaidou, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.
Confirmed, moving on…
@Fire Fist:
Either Moria was too confident orthe punch-drunkness of Shadow's Asgard considerably weakened his ability, or he's just not the same top-class fighter he used to be.
Confirmed, unsubstantiated, OBJECTION!
@Fire Fist:
n his prime, I doubt Moria could have been overcome simply by one punch (albeit a powerful one).
There's nothing to substantiate this claim…
Well we can already deduce that it's more than just that, we've already seen the eye knockout thing, some type of mantra and possibly whatever allowed Marigold to light herself on fire.
And the ability to break a slave's collar that a giant couldn't break with brutal strengh

Look closely at her hands. She used a match to light herself on fire.
@l'olonnais:

He didn't break it, Rayleigh just dismantled then threw it.
Anime seemed to the use of mantra style Haki to perfectly time his toss so the explosion wouldn't hurt them.

Prefectly true but still… the giant couldn't dismantled it with strengh alone. The important point is that haki either boost the user strengh or weakened the ollar (probably made out of seastone)
When are ppl gonna realize that these one on one fights only last for about a chap? Smoker may continue to pursue Luffy but he'll be interrupted/stalled besides wouldn't be a fight anyway just Luffy fleeing and getting beaten. Everyone else will keep switching up. don't be surprised to see Moria get up and start fighting Joz or some shit. Only other thing I can see is Kuma still shooting lasers at Iva while Iva chooses not to seriously fight back. Besides Sengoku's plan is going in to action any time now
Oda can't make haki anything near what nen is in HxH. If he did that DFs would be less special. Right now haki is acting as the technique that can battle certain DF(logias and other special paramecias like Luffy's). Nen was explained to us from the very beginning and we've been able to see just about everything it can do.
Haki will eventually be explained and everything but I don't see it reaching that level.
So can we safely say that Buggy is the Mr.Satan of the OPuniverse?
By the way, after carefully viewing, I think Luffy was not using Gear 2 the first time vs Smoker and, when he used it, he merely attacks Smoker with Jet Gatling, but he did'nt moved afterwards, that's why Smoker was able to catch him with his jutte.
So can we safely say that Buggy is the Mr.Satan of the OPuniverse?
You know the scenes where he took credit and constantly acted like the hero pissed me off and now the same is happening with Buggy. I never really found it funny are other OP fans laughing? I don't see the point unless all of this is gonna lead to something about Captain John's treasure.
What needs to happen is Mihawk cuts his heads off notices he's still alive and then kicks the head between two rocks and he's stuck liek that until the end of the war.

Doesn't really matter if he was or not. All he could do is run away. Smoker is probably faster in that smoke/air mode the way he just appears around a person and restrains them.

dude, if Haki ever becomes as complex as nen then devil fruits that arent logia will be obsolete. Nen can do ANYTHING (fire, lightning, explosions like mr 5….).

That's what I was unsure about, basically how far would Oda take it. But Oda has been dropping hints of haki for awhile now and if he connects it to mantra as it seems then there might be a bigger hiistory to it. Besides again it has already been shown to do things other than effect dfs, also kinda makes you wonder why it affects dfs so basically what's the connection between the two? Also Oda may not need to get as complicated as Nen but he has to go far enough so that it feels like a part of the OP universe and not just a tack on to allow logias to be beaten.

I hated Mr. Satan too… The only difference for me, in this case, is only a VERY select group of people, the level 2 prisoners, actually think buggy is all that sweet. Most of the real powerful people seem to look at buggy the clown as a bit of a joke, which saves the situation for me... I actually find it funny.
But I freaking hated Mr. Satan, with a RIDICULOUS passion.
dude, if Haki ever becomes as complex as nen then devil fruits that arent logia will be obsolete. Nen can do ANYTHING (fire, lightning, explosions like mr 5….).
Ye it probably won't become that extensive because we have DFs, but we've already seen some elaborate things. Rayleigh broke those neck-bands with haki, it can be used to intimidate or knock people/creatures unconscious, deflect attacks, read attacks, augment attacks (like the arrows, or how the kuja remarked that Luffy had such strength without using haki, hints you can also increase punch strength with it).
I don't know why I was so surprised to see Luffy lose to Smoker so easily. I was expecting that Luffy had some sort of plan to defeat Smokey the second time around. I was wrong about that one.
When I saw the cover story it dawned on me how terrible Zoro is with directions. Even with that paper thing (can't remember what it's called) he still wouldn't be able to find his way back to the crew. Thank goodness he landed on the same island as that gothic girl (can't remember her name either). Maybe her and Zoro will leave the island together and she could stop him from getting lost for billionth time.
Hopefully Kuma's personality isn't gone for good… I really liked his character. If he was made blank now he couldn't stay one of my favorites :/
Every time Smoker touches Luffy, he gets kicked :-)
Kuma has shown he still has his own will, he thought about "Dragon and his incredible son" in Thriller Bark, and he saved the SH on Shabondy. So maybe Doflamingo thinks he is just a cyborg now, maybe he thinks there are only Pacifistas remaining, but obviously the "real" Kuma is more than a cyborg, he can still think by himself (he also accepted to take Zoro's head on TB in exchange of Luffy's life, even when he was order to annihilate them all). That makes me think that Vegapunk is maybe officially working for the WG, but is secretly working for the revolutionaries: whenever it will be needed, he will turn the Pacifistas into Dragon's new army by single clicking on a remote. Coby admires Vegapunk, so he can't be just as bad as the common WG puppet.
The implication regarding Kuma is that his "death" occurred between Shabaody and Marineford, hence Kuma's line "we won't meet again"
if we say Kuma can't randomly teleport anywhere in an instant and he did't go for the fixing entirely obidient, then my guess is that Vegapunk resides somewhere close to Red Line (in NW) [shipping, fixing, shipping within less than a week till the shichibukai meeting] and i hope he is somewhat totally independent from the Marines and the WG. they just hire him to create futuristic weapons and he does those jobs for anyone who places the right amount of cash on the table. that is also why Sentoumaru doesn't have anything particular against pirates, because pirates also provide them with income.
so i think we'll be seeing a Vegapunk arc after fishmen island.
The implication regarding Kuma is that his "death" occurred between Shabaody and Marineford, hence Kuma's line "we won't meet again"
I'm more inclined to the death of his "tyrant" personality to the "bible" Kuma now.
That is, ofcourse, what Donflamingo has been saying. The "Tyrant Kuma" is dead.
@l'olonnais:
Prefectly true but still… the giant couldn't dismantled it with strengh alone. The important point is that haki either boost the user strengh or weakened the ollar (probably made out of seastone)
Or Rayleigh is just one of the few people with the intellect&skill to dismantle a collar. Haki having nothing to do with taking it off, just avoiding the explosion.

Not really. Moria specifically targeted Jimbei because with him around he can't make Zombies. Kuma and Iva clearly have a story going on and probably won't separate till Iva falls, and Hancock is pissed. Smoker will still go after Luffy, and she's acting as a Mini-Marco keeping the Logia at bay. Luffy's allies really don't have any reason to switch opponents. Its not like Mihawk&Joz where the two were no where close to one another to start with and Kizaru being able to get away from anybody he wants. Seems Oda did set up fights this time, though I agree they won't last longer than Luffy vs. Magellan.
dude, if Haki ever becomes as complex as nen then devil fruits that arent logia will be obsolete. Nen can do ANYTHING (fire, lightning, explosions like mr 5….).
Thunderlord lord Mcguy, lol. I hope this isn't the case.

Moria has a reason to fight Jinbei though, since Jinbei was purifying Moria's zombies. He wants to remove Jinbei so that he can continue using that army of his. Also, I'm not so sure that Hancock is going to be willing to let Smoker go after that psycho panel. Then we have a lot of history between Iva and Kuma.
As of this most recent chapter, fights with "meaning" are finally beginning to manifest themselves.
if we say Kuma can't randomly teleport anywhere in an instant and he did't go for the fixing entirely obidient, then my guess is that Vegapunk resides somewhere close to Red Line (in NW) [shipping, fixing, shipping within less than a week till the shichibukai meeting] and i hope he is somewhat totally independent from the Marines and the WG. they just hire him to create futuristic weapons and he does those jobs for anyone who places the right amount of cash on the table. that is also why Sentoumaru doesn't have anything particular against pirates, because pirates also provide them with income.
so i think we'll be seeing a Vegapunk arc after fishmen island.
Another thing to consider is that Sentoumaru appeared at SA very quickly after he was called there. Since he's Vegapunk's personal guard, or whatever, I doubt he'd go too far from where Vegapunk was. Additionally, Franky landed at Vegapunk's old digs which appear to be on the first half of the Grand Line (assumably), and the WG themselves seem to have a much stronger hold on the first half as well. Seeing Vegapunk very shortly into the New World is very reasonable, but we can't discount the possibility that we'll see him before then, too. Now that the chance of returning to AL has increased, a lot more options are opened up.
The one possible wrench in all of this is if Vegapunk was simply visiting Mariejoa/MHQ at the time.
i don't read all post actually..
but OP ALWAYZ KICK AZZ!!!!!
ace determination lead into something..maybe he will die..like Roger..Die with SMILE!
DAMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
buggy will no play any major role anymore…hopefully..2nd level prisoners were no big ache..
sengoku plan about to surface..WB will get Enel SHOCK on the face! gahaha...
moria vs jinbei not finish yet..moria not placed sichibukai for nothing..
smoker still better than luffy if luffy not master haki yet..
hancock will be fighting smoker in luffy place..sengoku will notice and ....
actually hancock about to release king haki if luffy did not call her name earlier..
kuma pretend to fighting iva...wish to see iva and kuma all out yeargh!!

Sentoumaru could well have been on business trip there on SA when coincidently Luffy and his crew arrived there as well and made a ruckus. business not necesarily with the Marines but with different/various customers.
fact is that Sentoumaru was pissed that one of the Pacifista was smashed, cause they cost them funds as much as a warship, which could either lead towards the conclusion of a thorough cooperation with the Marines (they reside directly at Marijoa or Marineford) or that they (Vegapunk Corps.) have to repair them for free, because there was still warranty on that Pacifista.
well, i'm hoping for the latter cause there should not be any restrictions or boundaries towards Vegapunk's crazyness, thus no supervision from the WG/Marines.
of course one can't exclude the possibility, that Vegapunk resides on SA. one of the lawless zones or marineground. the SHs might have to visit SA a second time, with their ship most likely still there.
Is this really the title of this chapter because in onemanga it is called destiny, and in mangafox it's called Karma
I think it's already clear that Vegapunk is a marine scientist. Well, if you ignore the mistranslation of his name, Coby says so here. And Sentoumaru called Kizaru some title of superior/respect. And I believe Kizaru himself referred to Sentoumaru and the pacifista's as "his underlings".
It was a nice chapter overall.
I have to agree with the theory that Kuma's "personality" died. Sadly I don't think that he will come to his senses.
It seems like I'm quite in a minority here liking Mr. Satan, but Buggy is not just an OP Mr. S.. I think and hope that he will have some role in Luffy's & co.'s escape from there. Of course that depends on whether Nami or the others bring the Sunny with them if they come or not. Although it seems like Buggy is only there for gags, he and his followers are still factors with which one should count in this fight, as they were in ID, on the marine ship and in this battle.
I have a feeling that Zoro will be the one to put an end to Kuma. Right after beating him and right before he dies, Kuma will reawaken and say "thank you", and Zoro will say "now we're even".
Oh the cliche….
And "Tyrant" Kuma suggests a range of things.
1. Tyrant = subset of King/Leader. This suggests that Kuma may have been of royalty.
2. "Tyrant Kuma" reminds me an awful lot of "Ohara Demons". Perhaps the government framed him?
3. Given 2. and his Bible, he may turn out to be one of the heroes of One Piece - that is, one who sacrificed himself for a bigger cause (Revolutionary cause? Or an even larger scheme?)
I'm still wondering about Smokers jitte. It's made of seastone, yet it transforms into smoke along with him?
Every time Smoker touches Luffy, he gets kicked :-)

By the way, when I saw the title before the chapter was scanlated (so before actually reading it), I thought that Sanji would appear in MF (and so would the other SH follow) ! Because of the chapter where he was mentally writing a "letter from hell" to Nami and Robin :-) Too bad, the other SH will never see what's happening here.

I think oda plan is like this:
first, let us know how much damage can luffy done himself without other SH
then, try imagine what SH after reunion can do afterward!!
Smoker is still far from Hancock's level, he stands no chance….but I think their fight will be interrupted because of Sengoku's plan.

He'll probably give her a good fight, again I don't see either winning, Smoker probably won't get beat till Luffy does it.
it's not..the jutte remain it form even tho smoker turn into smoke..
what about when he fought Ace in Arabasta? He should've been able to beat him since their logia powers didn't work against each other. Instead they were just flying around all DBZ-like.
please Oda, show us heart shaped eyes of Smokey, please!
I can't see it happening – but if it does, I will LOOOOOL
p.s…. Fonts rock!
Correction: Legible fonts rock …
Maybe her and Zoro will leave the island together and she could stop him from getting lost for billionth time.
Not likely – he gets lost even when he's walking with someone who knows the right direction (see EL, Skypiea, etc)
In the spoiler thread, someone came up with an interesting theory about the gravestone in the chapter opener story:
http://apforums.net/showpost.php?p=1…postcount=1418
And while someone else was quick to point out that Moria lost his crew in the New World, several of us also eventually decided that this did not necessarily mean that Moria would have to bury the bodies (or erect a memorial to them, if he harvested the bodies instead of burying them) in the same place that they all died. That is, it's possible that – just like Brook -- Moria carried the bodies of his slain crewmates on board his ship for a while before burying them at some significant and appropriate spot on the Grand Line.
Something else that gives extra believability to this theory is that this island looks remarkably similar to Thriller Bark in terms of architecture and scenery. So if, say, this was Moria's homeland, or some other sentimental place like that, then of course he would want to bury his crew there. And it would also make sense that he would try to build Thriller Bark in a similar style so that he could be reminded of them.
One last thing that supports this theory is that Perona was sent here. Kuma sent her here before he knew that he would be sending Zoro here, so it's not as if the only reason why Perona was sent here was to torment Zoro. We have to consider why Kuma might have sent Perona here alone, too. The obvious answer is that it's a dark, spooky place that's "full of malice" -- but there could also be a less-obvious reason too: a sort of lesson for Perona.
Remember, Perona was the only high-ranking officer who abandoned Moria when he was defeated by the SH. (Abs and Hog stayed with him). If this truly is either Moria's homeland, or the grave site of his first crew -- or both -- then Perona will likely learn something here about Moria's (presumably) tragic past, and that may make her change her mind about abandoning him.
But the most shocking revelation of all is this:
I just talked about Perona more than about Zoro.
:shocked:
@Usopp:
what about when he fought Ace in Arabasta? He should've been able to beat him since their logia powers didn't work against each other. Instead they were just flying around all DBZ-like.
That's what I thought too, because I watched the anime first, and read the manga only recently. But in reality, Ace says that Smoker's powers don't stand a chance against him. Also, they never flew around like DBZ.
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/158/19/
I checked out Stephen's script to make sure it wasn't a faulty translation:
http://www.mangascreener.com/stephen/onepiece/chapter158.txt
So maybe Ace could hurt Smoker with the flames, or he knew haki.
I can't see it happening – but if it does, I will LOOOOOL
LOL! Yeah, no way Smoker will fall for Hancock's charm.
That aside, as much as I like Smoker, it'd be a slap in Hancock's face if she couldn't take him. I expect the fight will go nowhere for now. People can hate on Hancock all they want, and while I don't like her lovey-dovey high school girl fanboyism with Luffy, that's what Oda did with her. She's probably the strongest female in the OP World, so she's here to stay and kick butt.
Correction: Legible fonts rock …
How nice of you to spend the time to respond to that
Interesting theory on Zoro x Perona, or should I say on Perona LOL. I thought you were a Zoro fan. hhaha
I'm expecting we'll get the conclusion of Zoro's adventure just like all the other SHs next week. Time will tell.
Maybe I missed it, but I don't remember reading any speculations on Sengoku's plans and Whitebeard's realization of said plans. I'm still a little thrown off here, because at the start of this war, Sengoku was still shitting his pants and didn't think they could even win potentially. However, now he seems quite confident to the point of saying even if WB has intuition about what they're doing it isn't enough. Very confusing stuff here… I'd like to hear some theories.

Dont see whats so confusing about Sengokus actions, he was worried that they werent going to take the bait and in a straight up fight the scales could tip either way. But now that theyve walked straight into the trap there is nothing to worry about hence the confidence.
As for Kuma. There goes my theory of helping Luffy. I figured before this chapter that eventually Iva would tell him of Luffy's Fatigue and Kuma could extract it from him like he did at Thriller Bark so there would be no pain or downtime to Luffy (although this would be a cop it to Iva's Hormones)
I guess we'll see Iva trying to beat the Paw man now, for if he wants to survive.
As for Smoker and Hancock. I hope this will be a training session. Luffy will have to learn how to use Haki from Hancock in order to defeat Smoker. I can only hope he learns it now, for if he doesn't he will be pretty screwed against the ladder leading to Ace.
