kyros from God Of War Kratos any one ..

@Monkey:
Oh shit, another guy whose uncle works for Oda.
Man I'm so jelly. All those people and their lucky uncles…
-
Bellamy is alive? I guess this fall into Oda's "if a corpse wasn't shown then don't think it's dead".
I know right? I laughed when I saw his mug again! Wasn't expecting that.

@Essam:

Kyros is Greek for "Prestige/Authority/Weight".
Plus you're getting it all backwards, why do people keep doing this with Dressrosa lol.
Oda is NOT taking the Greek/Italian/Spanish stuff from whatever random video game or play you know that is set in the European Mediterranean.
He's taking it…from the European Mediterranean! -
@Nex:
Here we are on a time crunch and we're getting a tournament.
Not to address anything else you took issue with, but isn't this the entire point of the tournament? Or, at any rate, of Ace's fruit being the prize. Yes, it's a horrible time for Luffy to get involved in something like this, because he is supposed to be part of a plan that is supposedly extremely time sensitive. That's exactly why Doflamingo made the prize what he did, in order to lure Luffy out and distract him, interfering with the alliance against him.
Like I said, I won't argue the matter of pacing or anything like that, since it's more an issue of personal taste. But story wise, having this tournament at such a 'bad' time is the entire point, and makes perfect sense from that angle.
-
Hah. Bellamy still alive and Burgess shows up after Ace's DF. That isn't really a surprise. A showdown between him and Luffy will be great - maybe a chance for Luffy to kick his ass
-
@Monkey:
There wasn't a ton suggesting he was dead, this is no Pell situation.
Yeah, that's true. I guess I just didn't like him and didn't cared about him that much to actually expect him to be alive :P
I know right? I laughed when I saw his mug again! Wasn't expecting that.
I wonder if he'll end fighting Luffy and if it'll end the same way it did before.
-
BTW is Bellamy an official member DD crew now?
-
Man, you're a genius. What if the guy Sanji has to kill is Cavendish?! I mean - it'd make sense for Violet to be mad if he rejected her, for example. And women on Dressrosa are said to be super passionate that they stab lovers, or loved ones, so if he rejected her maybe she wants him dead? Anyways that's my theory concerning that part of the story.
Something like that I'm thinking about… And damn they are so fitting against each other... But I hope Luffy won't defeat him earlier but something else will happen
Just look at how they are fitting against each other
1. Nobleman vs Mr. Prince
2. Womanizer vs. Someone who fails at it
3. Both DFless
4. Both are overlooked by others
5. Cavendish says fire/mera mera is a beautiful power vs Sanji and his Hells MemoriesAs I mentioned... If Sanji fights it wil be downright awesome and I don't think he is completely weak seeing he is at the NW without scar or anything... Sanji could make a name of himself with a proper bounty pic finally with beating someone with a bounty of 280 millions but on the other hand would be hated by woman all around the world... JUST LOL the next running gag... And seriously... Did we ever had an Parage shot who made someone ugly instead of "good" looking
But seriously... Maybe Luffy will just own him
-
So the Smile factory is under the colessium and the entrance is the kyros statue?
-
Although to be fair, Oda did make some pop-culture references this chapter.
Abdullah the Butcher, Tiger Jeet Singh, Dory Funk Jr, Terry Funk, all wrestler references.
-

Now that's plausible.

I'm not saying he doesn't do that.
But people are just really ignorant about Mediterranean culture or something, they see flamenco dancing and it's some musical with flamenco. They see Greek sounding names and it's an American video game…
Its getting to the point where if we see a pizza its gonna be a "reference to the ninja turtles" lol. -

Had me in stitches, no matter how often I look at it.

But since there are pop culture references mixed in with actual historical references, I can see how some can be confused.I mean look at Panda. They don't get a LICK of any of it. LOL.

What makes you say that? Actually, do we even know if the Smile Factory is in Acacia?
I think people are forgetting that Dressrosa is much larger than virtually every island we've been on since..Alabasta! This is just one city we're in out of apparently multiple cities. Smile Factory could be in a whole other city….Donflamingo's palace too... -

This time it'll happen the other way around.
-
I predicted LAst week that Oda was dedicating this tournament to all previous manga tournaments. First DBZ. This next part is clearly Yu-Yu Hakusho. I knew this was going to happen. The exact same thing happened in the qualifier part of the tournament in Yu Yu Hakusho. Luffy being named Lucy was a small thing for FT. Oda is a pretty cool dude.
-
@Essam:

Yes you see Kratos is in a myth themed video game, based on the myths of this country called Greece.

Oh I love them. They kinda remind me of the ape-men in Jaya.
I hope they stick around for some adventures. -
@Essam:
Cavendish still rookie
I don't understand this part… come on, this guy entered the New World three years ago and looks completely unscathed.

What on earth about this is a homage to Yu Yu Hakusho lol.
And no way in hell is Lucy an homage to Fairy Tale lolllll. Christ, what, is my MOM a homage to Fairy Tale? lol -
Abdulla The Butcher? Thanks Oda for naming a character after my name
you jelly?
-

Agreed, he WAS a rookie ….at the same time (actually a bit before) Luffy and Law and all of them.
-
I mean look at Panda. They don't get a LICK of any of it. LOL.
My first reaction on reading this post was wondering why I was being called out for my ignorance of pop culture references when I had barely posted in the thread.
I'm a bit slow sometimes.

Smile Factory could be in a whole other city….Donflamingo's palace too...It's a mysterious statue of a man that nobody even knows and no one has ever bothered to remove it that was put up within the past decade or so. Since he disappeared 20 years ago it seems reasonable that they wouldn't put up a statue of him immediately afterwards, that would make people noticeably suspicious so lets say 10 years or more go by, that makes more sense and fits into Mingo taking up Smile production and his post as a Shichibukia and King of the country.
I don't think anyone is forgetting dressrosa's size but I don't think that's important. Traveling around alabasta was important for the characters and the story, traveling here isn't as important so despite the islands size I think the characters will find what they need or their conflict story will take place at the location that they're at or going to (Green Bit/Acacia)
sidenote: where is franky?

Mangastream's version is up:

The man Violet wants Sanji to kill is in another city though.

Btw what if that statue really is relevant to story? What would it mean?

Why, you got Oda's number?
Otherwise I really don't think we can answer that question.@Panda:

And it didn't occur to you I may be addressing that OTHER Panda fella here?
Not that I am. :ninja:
-
Lucy = Roushi in Japanese, which is like Roshi from DBZ. Oda made Luffy look like Roshi and made him act the same way Roshi did. It has nothing to do with Fairy Tail
-
I don't understand this part… come on, this guy entered the New World three years ago and looks completely unscathed.
3 years only roaming the NW still a rookie only one year ahead of Luffy and others,his bounty increased only from 200,000,000 to 280,000,000 comparing to other Supernovas his bounty still low, but I call him a rookie comparing him to the guys in the tournament, the one I'm looking forward at is Balto Romeo.
-
I love the title of this chapter. Sounds like an Indiana Jones movie. "Indiana Jones and the statue of Kyros".
-
Abdulla The Butcher? Thanks Oda for naming a character after my name
you jelly?
You saw how Oda put Abdullah as a terrorist with a wrap on his head… But i hope he names one Ibrahim, even if its a terrorist XD
-

Lucy is pronounced as Ru-shi, not Rou-shi.

It's a mysterious statue of a man that nobody even knows
Everyone knows him, they just never found out his real identity. You're following the wrong mystery here.
Since he disappeared 20 years ago it seems reasonable that they wouldn't put up a statue of him immediately afterwards, that would make people noticeably suspicious so lets say 10 years or more go by, that makes more sense and fits into Mingo taking up Smile production and his post as a Shichibukia and King of the country.
I can't remotely follow your train of logic here.
A famous gladiator from 20 years ago retired….and it was suspicious (though it wasn't)...and uh they (who are they?) had to wait or else...to make a statue...so Donflamingo has something to do with this somehow.
What?I don't think anyone is forgetting dressrosa's size but I don't think that's important. Traveling around alabasta was important for the characters and the story, traveling here isn't as important so despite the islands size I think the characters will find what they need or their conflict story will take place at the location that they're at or going to (Green Bit/Acacia)
Oda has deliberately designed the island to be large and made sure to mention to us this was just the Port City. He wouldn't do that if he was going to have everything take place in one port city lol (aside from Green Bit).
Even if you still think the Smile Factory is in Acacia, thinking we won't see other cities is pretty insane. -
-
First time poster, long time lurker, traveled from Mangastream forums (closed) went onto Onemanga (moved). Well onto the chapter…. chapter was great!!!!!! I almost spat my cocopops onto the laptop when I saw Bellamy, that's not gonna end pretty... for Bellamy! Lol. I really don't think this tornament will last long at all, maybe even interrupted before the end. Anyway Oda, you. are. a. bosss!!!!!

How do you know his 1st bounty was 200m? Because from the better scan (MR version) it was 280m in his bounty picture.

3 years ago he was a Rookie….then a year later Luffy was a rookie.
Both are not rookies anymore unless you randomly think he has been sitting on his ass for three years. -
I have a feeling that next chapter we are going to have even more new characters introduced. This is a time for Oda to introduce a shit ton of New World pirates and to do some cool world building.
So many characters already though, so I'm NOT complaining!!
-

ahahahahhaah WHATTTT

Nah, there's something really voodoo fishy going on here.
Becky mentions that no one, including old men and gladiators, have met him.. and that they don't even know if Kyros even existed, or if it was just made-up fantasy.
That sounds more like, mysteriously no one even remembers the dude at all. -

I read it in manga reader site, let me check again
-
After reading this chapter I get the feeling this world is so much larger than say Naruto. Based off the fact you have various people on islands, but you also have well known clans/families in this world. In my mind I almost think of it as having a world within a world. Sure your strong but tread carefully that guy is X person of a particular family. I am sure they will have special abilities that are only found within a family, that can possibly rival a DF user.
-
@400MillionBelis:
I believe Romeo will beat Cavendish. Cavendish - the guy that hates the rookies from 2 years ago, wanting to defeat them, ending up being defeated by Romeo - a rookie from a year ago.
That would make Cavendish's character pointless. He was mentioned alongside Romeo. Why introduce both just to have one of them defeated by the other?
-
@Monkey:

Pretty much. At this point i think it's clear that the NW is not that bad a place if you intend to lay relatively low and not cause too much trouble/bring too much attention to yourself. Hey may not be a rookie in terms of time spent in the NW, but he is almost certainly comparable to a rookie in terms of achievements.
