yea ha
he has the power to hear like roger it's finally confirmed and i guess there is a really big chance Jinbei will join :D -
@Fire Fist:
I don't understand why this is a bad thing. It's been implied since the beginning of the series that Luffy carries on the will of Roger. Why is him having the same ability to hear the "voice" such a letdown?
Why is that? What is so bad about that?
Man, some really dumb complaints here.I really dislike stories of fate and destined success. Originally, Luffy was just a guy in the world using hard work and good people skills to succeed. Now we are learning that the only reason Luffy has what it takes it because he's destined to. That's stupid in my opinion.
Well we all saw the blood transfusion thing from a mile away, the only thing I don't like about it is the parallel between Luffy and Roger(apparently Luffy can hear the voice of all things now) this is because one of the things I have always liked about One piece is that it tried not to fall under the cliche of the main protagonist being similar(sometimes even viewed as a reincarnations) to people who were greater than them. Personally to me it really reduces the importance of Luffy as a character if he is just going to be the reincarnation of Roger, I mean can't he be great without been the same as him, look at Zoro everything he has done is all him, people don't go , he can do what Mihawk can do", everything is him his name is growing without needing a boost from comparisons, so to me Oda failed me personally as a fan by doing this.
WHAT IS CARIBOU DOING, the guy needs to be dealt with soon.Exactly this.

Oh boy, this is gonna be good.
Jinbe~

The caribou thing didn't go the way i thought it would. I'm also not liking the whole fate thing.

I think you're just being facetious. Throughout the entire series, several people, including Robin, Shanks, Kureha, Zeff, etc, etc, have commented on Luffy's "will" and the spirit he carries. Almost every arc, a character has commented that he carries on the will of Roger. If you haven't picked up on this yet, you've either only being casually reading the series or completely tuned it out. Even at the beginning of this arc, Rayleigh had a flashback:

http://www.mangareader.net/103-58422-6/one-piece/chapter-603.htmlI mean, cmon', now…
As for the chapter, this was a good concluding chapter. I know Jinbe will accept, and then, the Strawhats can move on, unless Big Mom shows up since Daruma destroyed her factory (a good possibility). Though, if she turns out to be Lola's mother like everyone expected, Nami will be able to diffuse the situation.
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.

Yet another "Luffy is like Roger": it's getting tedious, really…
-
Good chapter. Weird that this "law" exists even though they were still apparently donating blood to humans in the past.
-
…. wow, well... just wow.
-
just going to read>>>>>>
-
It's over.
It's finally…over.
-
All we need now is a double spread of Jinbe walking through the doors of Sunny

Being similar to someone in spirit is not the same as having the same random abilities as someone else.

Exactly this.
Uh. So what do we know about the voice of all things? The only thing we know is that Roger had it. That's it. Does the fact that Roger heard the seakings even mean that Luffy has the ability to hear the voice of all things? We know nothing about it or the significance of it, similarly to the king haki. I'd be more patient with that before calling foul on it and that Luffy is a special destined person. Hell, Roger died. I don't think being the special destined person in this case is even that good.
-
Can we make a poll on this thread about who's predicting in next chapter:
1. Jinbe will say YES.
2. Jinbe will say NO.
3. No answer yet.Well, can we?
-
Welcome to the crew, Jinbe.
Hang in there, Kierkegaard.
-
Awesome chapter! The chopper thing made me lol xD!
Reaaaaally can't wait for next week :D -
FUCK YEAH JINBE!!!
-
Oh my God I'm so happy now I feel like fucking singing~~~~~
-
Tears were shed today in this chap. Great work people, this is what is OP, it's pure symphony! Thanks for your work ms and thank you ccc and rubia. Guys, "This is 'zero' mother" by fukaboshi was incredbly powerful! Whoa, I can't describe the feelings I had when I read that. One of the best pos-fighting-endings we have here. Whoa!
-
Awww, so for all his power-up, Luffy was wounded by Hody so much that he would die without a transfusion.
I know Oda needed some plot device to wrap up his "blood transfer" trope, but come on. -

….
The fact alone that Roger had it is enough. It's HIGHLY obvious that the voice of all things is rare. You're in denial more than I am about Jinbe.
-
I haven't been happier in months, seriously. I just went coco bananas.
-

well obviously he inherited them from Roger, being his son and all.
clearly Iva did a genderswap on Dragon and with a sample of Roger's DNA he birthed Luffy. CLEARLY. (lol)

-
Wiper still wears no pants..
-
To prep myself for the possibility of a Straw Hat Jinbe future, I need Jinbe supporters to tell me why they like him. I think he's one of the most boring characters in the series. Help me to see what you see.
-
About the fate thing, maybe it's all related to the will of D (I don't know if someone already said this in the spoiler thread, I don't read it anymore anyway), but I don't really like it if it's end up begin a total cliche. Hoping Oda will delivery something different.
This chapter was good, it gave me chills. I don't think Jinbe will join, though there's a big chance of it happening, but, well, this can wait. What matters is, Caribou, where are you?
-
OH MY GOD WHAT. WHY ODA WHY. JIMBEI CANNOT POSSIBLY! I wanted someone more interesting plz. :/ What happened, Oda. This ending did not seem like you.
-
Everything as planned (and expected)
Jinbe joining? Haters gonna hate. I love it.I think that the link between all the SH, before and after the timeskip, was too strong that a new nakama should be someone we already know and like.
-
Yeah, yeah, yeah! Oh One Piece, you great manga, you!
-

This. Would much rather Luffy be his own man and leave his own legacy then being another Roger.
-

True, but you're jumping to conclusions. We know that Luffy carries on Roger's Will and the Will of the "D". We don't know exactly what the voice of all things is… that is, if it was specific to Roger, or specific to those that carry the D, or just something to do with Ambition/Haki. Although we know a great deal more about Haki than we used to, it could have secrets we're not privy to yet.
-
….

Of course it is rare. I just don't think it's a destiny thing, rather just another parallel to Roger, just like the hat.
-
I do not want jimbe to join i don't se him as a strawhat i see him as a powerlful allay!!!
-
Why the hell are people complaining about Luffy's similarities to Roger now? The comparisons have been around since goddamn Loguetown.
-

Well, if it makes you feel any better, you could always hope that Jinbe will get a head concussion like Goku did as a child, which will reverse Jinbe's personality back to how it was in the flashbacks. His future quirks will be almost killing every enemy within sight, and the strawhats will be trying to hold him back.
-
These responses are delicious.
On another note, it's confusing between MR's and MS's translations. I don't have the actual script, so I don't know which is more accurate regarding the mermaids' discovery.
As for the poetic narration during the transfusion, MR's is definitely more accurate.
Otherwise, they're pretty much the same… rushed quality.

@Cyan:

That's why I think complaining about it is dumb. Just because these similarities are obviously there, it doesn't mean Luffy doesn't do his own thing.
-
Read it and this is my take.
I enjoyed the chapter. Felt the flow was nice and we had some nice dialogue and some "trivia" time as well. Like Choppers monster point, the voice of all things, the F blood type the law still in action and so on.
Oda made a good job of letting us know that the life in the story itself does not stop when SH's are battling their foes, so we see Caribou stealing the treasure together with an interesting chest.
We finish the chapter with a good cliffhanger now I am not all that interested in the answer though, but more in what's next, how will this story develop and go on…Nice read, now I will wait for the insights of others and think about their intake.

@Cyan:

Similarities in personality are ok with me. Not inheriting special abilities that will lead to success. Destiny is one of the most overused plot lines and I thought OP was free of it. I was very wrong.

Great discrepancy between the translation from mangastream and the one from mangareader. :O
-
Awesome chapter!! Finally Luffy ask Jinbei to join the crew. I've always said that Jinbei would join, even though we don't know yet, I think he will join, he gave Luffy his blood. I'm so happy i'm so glad.
-
Thanks MS !
I absolutely loved that chapter. I guess Luffy destroyed FI'sinstitution.
At first, I was expecting Luffy to ask for meshi. Yeah ! Jinbe is joining ! The straw hats are even stronger than before.Oh Sanji… I wouldn't mind Robin nursing me as well :wub:.
-
I can feel the Jinbe hate and it tastes great.
Anyway, the Chopper gags were hilarious.
