I said Luffy wouldn't really care earlier, but I honestly think outcome A is the most likely. Not just to give Doflamingo the edge, but to provide some emotional conflict in all this.
Exactly! That's the part I'm looking forward to the most! I don't recall us ever seeing Luffy in a conflict like this one. For the fist time, someone is bribing Luffy with an option that he cares about, and he will have to make a choice.
(No one bring up the Boa thing, please!)
LOL, I couldn't help but notice this.
@Mr.:
..which seems to suggest that Law will lose his position along with DD.
Maybe later in the arc? Allying yourself with one of the most notorious rookies is like drawing a bulls-eye on your head.
@Mr.:
..which seems to suggest that Law will lose his position along with DD. MangaPanda's translation says "he might be exbelled," so I can understand where the confusion in regards to this starts.
Maybe, but he hasn't lost it yet.
Hmmm… I see people saying that Luffy might eat the mera-mera fruit but I don't think anyone in One Piece other than BB can acquire more than one DFs. It's not because of the "Will of the D" that he can "absorb" other DFs, my theory is its because of the nature of his original DF. Darkness, he can suck in anything or something like daht.

There's been a lot of references to pizza lately. Perhaps Oda has found himself a new favorite food?

! @Panda:
! > Alright, some (as) Quick (as they get) Thoughts on the chapter from me.Typical amazing transition / set-up chapter, really, with plenty of things revealed and pieces set up for the upcoming arc. I'm sure pretty much everything content wise has been brought up in the thread already, and will continue to be discussed.
What I think is one of the more interesting, if subtle things in this chapter, though – and that while I've seen brought up at least once in passing, I don't believe has been talked about much -- is the title. At face value, it seems a little odd that a chapter with so much going on in it, even by One Piece standards, would be titled after what frankly comes across as one of the usual Luffy-being-Luffy gags. I suppose it makes more sense once you realize that it's connected to the reveal of Ace's devil fruit, but I think it goes even beyond that.
Perhaps the most common complaint I see from the group of posters who, near as I can tell, must have had their puppies killed by Law when they were children or some such given how enraged they get by his presence in the manga, oh god I digress let me start over.
Perhaps the most common complaint I see from people who dislike Law is that, more or less since his re-introduction during Punk Hazard, he's had this sort of smug 'just according to plan' thing constantly going on. Put in other words, they dislike that One Piece has, in a way, been moving at Law's pace. I believe those people, especially, should love this chapter, and what it implies, because I think that the 'his' in the title is actually purposely ambiguous. Law has his pace of careful planning, which even in this chapter we see get slightly disrupted as he is distracted from his own objections to Luffy's 'wing it' attitude by being swept up into the manic, care-free pace of the Straw Hat pirates. Meanwhile, Doflamingo, who has been showed becoming enraged due to things moving Law's way, out of his control, is shown collecting himself, planning a way to get things moving back in a way he wants them to be. On top of all this, we have what is presumably one of the new Admirals being sent into action, who no doubt intends to handle things his own way.
Finally, of course, there is Luffy himself, who has and will always do things his own way, consequences be damned. If I had to say the title were referring to any specific character, which I'm hesitant to do, I would honestly say it was referring to Luffy. After all, One Piece is, ultimately, his story, and despite what some might argue, I personally believe that as such it has always moved at his pace. We definitely have one involved arc coming up -- with all the plans and counter-plans, all the the parties involved -- and in the end I am willing to say that it will be Luffy that brings all of that crashing down, Law's carefully laid plan gone haywire, Doflamingo's fiendish setups in shambles, and Luffy, the Strawhats, and his allies victorious.
One Piece, after all, moves at his pace.
Or it is just a funny way to refer to his ability to control people and let them walk "in his pace".

How long did you take to find that?

Caribou's is a meat pie.
@Monkey:
Awesome chapter, but how the hell did bonney escape?
She's a shichibuiki now!
I recommend: Peerless Martial God, Renegade Immortal, Gourmet of Another World, Trash of the Counts Family and The Great Ruler
There's been two pizza references in the past two chapters. The meat pie looks like a slice of pizza. Plus Bonney is shown, this will spark debate.
Here’s how Naruto should end: Last panel is Naruto standing proudly over Konohagakure. Slowly zoom out to reveal Luffy staring into a snowglobe with a miniature Konoha inside it. Usopp asks him what he’s doing. Luffy replies “Thinkin’ bout ninjas! Ninjas are cool!” and then chucks it off the ship
She's a shichibuiki now!
Then she wouldn't wear the clothes she wears, it seems like she's hiding, also it would have been already revealed in this chapter if that was the case, i don't see why her presentation should be delayed.

That´s the proof that she will join

Look we all have our nakama candidates, whether those candidates are respected or not. Mine is Bonny. Join the crew damnit!!

Spotty is just Garp in disguise anyways
Nah, it's just Bogart (Bogart) dressing up.

Bonney showing up at least means that she will run into the Strawhats. Also it's random, Law is turning into a Strawhat lolol

At least now we know that Law still has his crew. Looking forward to see Bepo, Penguin and their interaction with the SHs.
Actually Bonney allying with the strawhats is not that farfetch'd, considering that it be 2 3 man parties of rookies.
artifical fruit have a different pattern than the real ones.
plus the smiles are zoan type fruit,not logias
There's no reason why it couldn't be an artificial one, it just happens that so far we've been told that they're zoans. Oda could easily implement some fake logias or paramecias
Anyone think law falling into the straw hat personalities was hilarious?
this panel made me LOL hard! he's like "WTF DID I JUST SAY THAT!?!?!"
I lurk…like a lot.
I wonder if Bonney's crew is with her.
I have no idea what World Government wants with her, but it probably involves her power or something else she knows about. So it wouldn't be a wonder if her crew was just executed or sent to Impel Down. At least she would have been separated from them and possibly couldn't or wasn't interested in busting them out after her own escape. :ermm:
What a bomb chapter… Nice to see buggy confirmed as a warlord finally. Too bad about the 7th warlord troll. Could it be Bonney possibly??? How did she escape otherwise. Maybe she's the 7th but I doubt it, but maybe because she was the only other supernova shown besides kid who obviously had to be shown. I just can't overstate how strange it is to see Bonney. I've been wondering about her for months. Just strange that she is free when Akainu said she was really important when they initially caught her. Also is this mystery reporter Absalom??? It would make sense somehow. He could be there undetected and its a VERY Oda thing for him to do after he the whole Thriller bark thing fell through for him. Baby 5 is actually pretty funny.
As for the Mera Mera fruit and the whole Fujitora thing.... Who knows, it's a world of possibilities from here lol. And for everyone saying it was over hyped... not a chance.This chapter basically finished setting up like the next year of one piece along with last weeks chapter.

Not allying, joining
Luffy possibly getting Ace's devil fruit power?! OH man! Coolest chapter in a long time
I can’t…...with words....processing..

HOLY MOTHER that was incredible. Just so much…revealing and developing and set up and DAMN son.
I mean Law…Law has officially lost his cool. And I don’t mean temper. I mean you are no longer in the cool category, Law, congrats you have crossed over into official dork territory, the Straw Hat idiot syndrome done did you in son. But it’s always better that way.
BUGGY Y’ALL KNEW IT but seeing it is just…ahhhh. And Joker’s card theme. Everyone is so good at guessing these things. I swore that box was going to have Luffy’s heart since I saw that theory here as well.
I would read a whole chapter of this crew eating. 18 pages of them just stuffing their faces and talking with their mouths full it makes me so happy.
There…there are just too many things to mention and I haven't even read the first 40 pages of this thread yet, to bask in the glorious reactions of it.

She is probably alone, hence her hiding type apparel.
Don't know if its been discussed but since we have never really seen where Ace got his fruit from mabye it was Doflamingo who supplied it to him in the first place in return for filling the spades seat.
What? A bunch of people don't read the epic that is One Piece simply because they "don't like the art"
@Foxy:
Sorry I'm behind on the conversation going on here. Are most people thinking Luffy wont get Ace's power? Blackbeard has two devil fruit powers, why not luffy? Especially when this would be a way to always have his brother with him in a sense

I shouldn't have to explain why this will never happen.
Luffy getting the intangibility of a logia would totally ruin the awesomeness of his stretchy rubber powers.
Can anyone explain the title of the chapter to me, I still don't seem to undertand the use of the word pace. (Be nice, I'm tired)

I would stop reading One Piece if Luffy became a Logia.
So they'll hold the fruit until they see Coby again in the series?
But why would they give a powerful df to a marine? Sounds completly pointless to me lol, owell I rly hope you guys are wron,g I dont wanna see luffy eating it either, but giving it to coby… damn anything but that

You'd miss out on the awesomeness. You poor Soul.

I don't think they'll give it to Coby.
Luffy may or may not eat it but to act like its not a possibility is cool too.

I wouldn't, but I'd be pretty disappointed.

Are you saying that you want Luffy to be a Logia?

I would stop reading One Piece if Luffy became a Logia.
I would stop reading OP if Luffy took Ace's fruit otherwise i don't care so much lol!

Dude, don´t apologize for your opinion. If you like Luffy getting the fruit, then there is no problem with that. Mistaking your opinion with the likelihood of it actually happening is of course another matter.
Personally, i would despise him getting Ace´s ability.
Chapter 700! wow.. Keep up the good work, Oda-sensei!
@wolfwoof:
well i guess old Bogey's got some crazy fetish fueled love for Garp
bet he dances around to drive me crazy in that get up too
Thanks for these mental images.
I HAVE seen BogartxGarp fanart somewhere.
Also… Ace better stay dead. I swear to God if Oda finds someway to revive Ace.... I shudder to think....

You'd be back the following week, just like the rest of us.

Oda's not Kishimoto.
Don't know if its been discussed but since we have never really seen where Ace got his fruit from mabye it was Doflamingo who supplied it to him in the first place in return for filling the spades seat.
HOLY SHIT that's a good one! :blink: Seriously, tough I kinda find it far-fetched that Ace would have been under Doflamingo it still feels a little to big of a coincidence.
PS. Don't worry guys! There's no way Oda would ruin One Piece by giving Luffy logia powers. You gotta trust him a little! He is GOda after all.
@Sir:

Sure.
"pace" refers to someone's speed of doing things…..Law wants to do things back-to-back, planned, on topic.....but Luffy being Luffy wants to do things at his own leisure, hence the panel of Law freaking out over the bread. He (Law) is being sucked into Luffy's slow, laid-back pacing with the rest of his crew.
As for Doflamingo, he's taking Law's demands in stride, going back to Dressrosa, just chilling (going back to his own pace rather than operating on Law's whims), evidenced by his grin and his trump card = having Ace's old fruit as a means to bait Luffy.
For Luffy to eat any other fruit would take away from what makes him unique as a Shounen character. His power (rubber) is one of the most disrespected powers around, and yet, Oda made it badass! That's why Luffy is special. He makes the power badass.
Haki is enough. Haki and Gomu is all he needs. I'm glad that some of you aren't Oda, sheesh!
