Chapter 600: "The Island of Restarting" Discussion

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

I think it`s a bit weak for CHAPTER 600!! having nothing rly groundbreaking in it but ookkaayy…

Guess we will see now the first brawl on that placa where all the pirates will be crushed by Luffy before Sentamarou and the PX`s are coming.

Don't like that Luffy will have all the fun with the rookies.

It was awesome! :happy:
You have done it, Oda!

What is so special about the number 600?

Enma Ai

All aboard the 00 chapter hype train!
Choo Choo Choo~

i just wonder why zoro in cover is open his eye ?!
i think he lost it !!

I think people expected to much from 16 pages. They wanted the SH reunion, the defeat of marines+Fluffy+PX+sentomaru all in one chapter.

@Sea:

because it's another milestone lol
so i did expect a little more from this, but i did enjoy it nonetheless!

but also kinda sucks because at least until we see the strawhats in action, we are all going to be crying 6 days a week waiting for a another chapter (N)

Ryuunaga

Anyone else notice that Zoro's scarred eye is open on the Chapter cover?

Hekti

Damn that is a nice chapter!
Love how Franky and Chopper have changed over the past 2 years and I am so happy seeing the Sanji/Zoro parts again.

And because of Usopp's comment about Chopper's size and that he is now easier to ride gives me hope that he really is riding him for awesome combo attacks as I though after seeing Chopper's growth on the spoiler pics.

@ItalianAce:

brook says his music got "power" what kind of power? the same of apoo?

The power was shown. It was that the people stopped the marines to hear it, because the music moved them.

Sea

It's dumb to rush the plot because of some dumb number.
Oda skipped Usopp's fight in chapter 100. That was dumb.
Good thing he stopped doing it.

AllSundayNicoRobin

Great chapter.
Really loved the cover page. And the Zoro and Sanji fights again. #1 and #7 xD
Still have NO IDEA how Zoro got there first though…
But anyway it was a really great chapter, nice to see that Chopper has a tough side, and now knows that difference between the fakes and the real straw hats :)
Can't wait for the fight between strawhats and fakes (If there is one of course).

@InvaderP:

Dammit, the Fake Strawhats and their recruits all look ugly as fuck. Can't wait till the real Strawhats kick their asses so we don't have to see their ugly faces anymore.

Says you, I'm getting the vive that the brothers will survive the raid, and be the ones who ultimately kill the fake strawhats (yes, Fluffy'snt from lvl 6).

The vivre card, it will be useful again, they'll keep the center in sunny and their respective pieces, and be reunited sometime in the future when they losse the ship.

Excelent chapter, and the full reunion is around 2-3 chapters away. Can we keep this as evidence that oda only cared about chapter 100? two zeroes in a row don't give him a hard-on… anymore.

I can't wait to see what the reunited crew has under their sleves, I'm warming up to franky's new design, lol at the leg trained in hell, I can't imagine what new skills will have robin, and my theory of that only the hibrid form of a zoan doesn't change was right. I wonder if that's only for chopper, and only for his default hibrid form, it would be lame if his other 4 (+monster) hibrid forms didn't change.

It's under appreciated so they are making the number 600 feel more special :ninja:

yep i notice but it's could mistake
also i note zoro don't have ankles scars

blkriku_

Great chapter. I was really surprised that Franky can control his hair. Hopefully that will stop all the haters. And I love Brook so much. I can't wait to see him in an actual battle

Papakis

Fun to see the Strawhat name bringing awe even to up-to-no-good pirates. I bet that if Bellamy was around he would be a Strawhat fanboy too XD

Hekti

I wonder why Zoro knows that Sanji came in 7th …

Jnty

epic! franky still has his hair rofl
and chopper looks cool as well imo

jesseclane

@dedo1231:

Yeah I notice that too. Mistake again? Or maybe he did not lost his sight, just use one eye to improve his vision/constant training? Sure that eye related with Hawkeye Mihawk.

maxterdexter

@Hekti:

Sanji probably updated Zoro on who's already on the island offscreen, he knew everybody's status (sans Robin and Luffy)

I personally also like more 666(not because of something evil) but reaching 100 chapters for a manga should be celebrated..over and over again
(or it`s just me desperate to see finally FI)

Aaronrules380

So. anyone notice that Grove 42, where the SHs are going, is one of the places the marines are setting up their defences against the fakes at according to 599?

Suzume

AWESOME. <3

I still hadn't got used to the changed Straw hats over the past few weeks. Especielly Franky, whose arms still look weird to me. But this chapter really changed my opinion.

Most importantly, Franky can control his hair!! I sooo hoped that would happen! 8D Secondly, Chopper has grown a lot in his reindeer-form, which is great. His antlers look a bit weird though, but I'll surely get used to them. God, Luffy actually is just as stupid as Chopper? It was kind of expected, but I thought he could have grown out of that trait now. Well, I'm not complaining, since it Luffy still has to feel like Luffy. Brook was awesome, announcing Luffy's return like that. And it's cool that the marines recognised him from his old Wanted-poster.

Overall, the thing in this chapter that make me warm up to after-timeskip-One Piece was the character interaction. Zoro and Sanji fighting (Zoro's ranking for Sanji was hilarious :D), Usopp and Chopper worshiping Franky's new look, all that kinds of stuff. It's great to have One Piece back. <3

statu variabilis

yyeessssssss, finally
happy;
but unfortunately i have an exam tomorrow so i wont be able to spend the entire day on comp (apforums+inet+games)

anyway thaks on chapter

Aaronrules380

Marines only recognized Brook because his manager tipped them off

@Don:

That makes the story feel dumb, rushed and forced.
No good story does that.
Number is just number.

I think we can be sure that they at least slightely changed.
Maybe his human-form is as big as Franky now:blink:

But more importnat iam rly interested if Chopper finally managed to control his Monster-Point, and adding to this a new Monster-design would be like icecream on a cake

@Ryuunaga:

It's a damn shadow… Seriously...

paranoik0s

the special will be chapter 666 as not many manga series have reached that number

to me the caribou brothers dont seem badass at all

i prefer Luffy sending everyone flying and sanji and zoro facing the 2 pacifistas

then luffy vs sentomarou

Cyborg009

@Ryuunaga:

Holy crap Chopper looks so awesome in his four legged form

you can say that again.

Aaronrules380

not many have reached 600 either >.>

Haki1234

@Hekti:

Maybe he used Haki, like how the dark king knew luffy was already on the island

Sagippio

lol, when Franky's nose is pushed, it makes a robo voice! I wonder of there are other body parts that can speak… :D

uoftotaku

Nice transition chapter with good developments,

Choppers grown up form is great
Franky is awesome as expected
Zoro on the cover looks like he has both eyes open but I guess thats a mistake as well
New pirate rookies look insane
Anyone notice on the first page is the Pirate Captain from the Human Auction who bit his tongue off, casually walking around drinking LOL he's been living large for 2 years in the SA

@paranoik0s:

Good thing. Oda will be condemned Satanist for celebrating that chapter. Love to see he piss off the guys in Vatican.

rubia_ryu

Well, I woke up at a good time. I felt like crap when I went to sleep, but somehow, I manage to wake up 3.5 hours later… to find that the chapter's out! Sweet.

Everything in this chapter (except with the fake crew; they were just creepy) was golden. I've missed their interactions so much.

I wondered about it just now: what if by some miracle, Zoro and Sanji don't make it back to the Sunny on time? The crew might have to leave earlier because of what trouble Luffy gets himself into, and so, Zoro and Sanji would need to meet up with Luffy. Then, the trio would somehow catch up with the rest of the crew aboard the Sunny. It sort of reminds me of the trip from Loguetown... Oh, um, Brook will somehow end up with the rest. Yeah... POWER to the fans!

OkamaKing

So Chopper did change after all in a way, his walk point is huuuuuge. <3

And Franky's controllable hair ftw. I'm hoping he'll stick with his old hairstyle instead of the bald look.

Ryuunaga

@Sea:

I agree with this

Don Quichotte De Flamingo

@Sea:

Not necessarily.
Having his story in such a control to being able to make a specific event on a specific chapter is rly a nice addition in my eyes.
You mentioned that Usopps story on Loguetown was taken away for chapter 100.
That sure wasnt perfect and removing something from the story is always a big NO-GO, here iam with you. But when it appears that you have to ADD something to your story to see on a specific chapter a specific event its a goodie in my eyes.
Like for example introducing all the SN in one chapter was actually an add-on to the normal story(because Odas editor said he should add more action) and to have Rayleigh still on 500 he gave us this freaking superchapter.(even when its not sure that Rayleigh was planned to have here his introduction) Sure could be argued that Oda could have done the introduction in two chapters for the SN and stuff but in the end it feels right now after a bit time and that is all that counts when we will read the whole story after its finished.

Edit: Also other good storys dont rly have the problem that theyre splitted in hundret of parts..thats a manga-thing.

@OkamaKing:

maybe he'll have the old hairstyle just when they fight!!!

OwnerZeff

I was having trouble opening the Mangastream link on the first page. Use this link if you have a problem as well.

This chapter was interesting, but certainly not as action-packed as the previous two. It is nice to see the crew showing their personalities though. They definitely have retained the mindsets they had prior to the time shift. Obviously, I personally want the time shift to give them more nuance, but that sort of thing takes time.

Franky's retractable hair and arm-in-arm action is wonderful! He truly is the last and best Battle Franky…..uh......except for the one on the forums, of course.

Sea

I didn't even notice Rayleigh introduction was in chapter 500 when I read the series in one sitting.
And it was not that special of an event to me. Rayleigh was not that important of a character.

thats a manga-thing.

Try Lone Wolf and Cub, JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, Hajime no Ippo, etc.
Name some manga that celebrate after every 100 chapters.

yeah and they ll prohibit any of their "followers" to read one piece

and no japanese tourists allowed in the vatican

or double price fee for them

or no 1 plus 1 pizza in the vatican cantine for the japanese

@Saturnchild:

I have a feeling that this "Island of a Fresh Start" could make a parallel back to Loguetown, in which the monster trio somehow separates from the rest of the crew to kick ass. Of course, I'd rather not have Rayleigh act as a second "Dragon".
