In web design hell where it belongs.
Pretty sure it allows people who actually put effort into their posts a little attention. If it is liked, it will be read more often. I find myself skimming lots of posts because they dont catch my attention.

What a fantastic chapter with a completely EPIC colorspread to boot! It makes me want the animal collectables even more, and I will get the Giraffe Brook come hell or high water!
Really happy to see some new characters coming into play, even if some are shadowed and some are not. Word on what Kidd's been up to was great, though that three-eyed girl got my attention the most. Liked Tamago (and the Long-Leg tribe relation) as well. "New World" excitement is building again! And Luffy… he just keeps reminding me why he's the only main shounen lead I haven't found reason to hate. You feel whatever he says more than any other leader and what's most important is you can tell how awesome he is as one person.

Anyone pick up on the "acid" themes that were being hinted with Big Mom? I want to say she has some type of stomach acid spitting type of ability, but that seems soo damn similar to Magellans.

It just seems not "Yonkou" enough. Unless she's MADE OF acid. But i still dont see how that would maker her extremely powerful.
Well, my guess with these Yonkou is that they will most likely not be touched until some other characters are defeated. I have a feeling the Level 6 impel down prisoners will have a role in the next coming arcs, but who knows.
I just dont want FI to end as of yet.
-
I got a really Miyazaki vibe from the new character designs.
Big Mom very much reminds me of Yubaba and Baron Tomago looks a lot like Kamaji (both from Spirited Away).
Also, thanks Gia Sado!
-
Big Mam? More like Big Sexy, amirite?
I hope there are a couple skirmishes between Big Mam forces and the Strawhat Pirates before Charlotte and Luffy face off in some sort of demented, Candyland-from-hell type island.

@Al!naJames:
Thank you ^^
Anybody has any clues on how the Lion and the Three-Eye can be related to food-in-fairy tales theme of others?
Maybe the lion from the Wizard of Oz? He was afraid of everything while this one is trying to make everyone afraid of him? Nah…
-
That looks amazing! Nice work. And if she is Lola's mother,
. What I like about Big Mam is that she's giant like, like with Kuma, or Moria. Maybe even larger. I'm glad Whitebeard wasn't the only semi-giant Yonkou.Thank you for that link. :getlost: Its been a while since i've watched that movie so I wathced the entire 7 mins, beyond the first minute that you were talking about. …. Now I images of nuns doing the cancan while singing "Every sperm is sacred"
You know the "its medical experiments for the lot fo you" can fit Big Mam's crew as bizzare as they look
Usopp will dominate on big mams island, hes used to being around food!!!
True he spent 2 years on an island where there are plants that create an unusual and mouth-watering aroma that it entices sea monsters on to the island. They'll need him there, after all Luffy will take a one look and go eat the island until he's in the smae situation he ended up on Whiskey Peak = soo stuffed he goes to sleep and doesn't wake up for the big fight…even when Zoro uses his stomach as a trampoline.

@Jet:
Well, Caribou got his beating, about damn time, though that Caribou is my husband user must not be too happy, or must be inventing some weird ass reason like, aww he let them win, or something.
That would be me. It seems that being here daily for almost two years isn´t enough yet for people to remember the five letters of my name.
And no. -
Exactly, that chick is obviously a power house to there team otherwise having her sitting there in a chair right next to big Mom really seems kind of weird, obviously oda's holding back on us, and the other guy just said he burnt a country to the ground, I'm agreeing with this post 100%
Hmm, I'm not so sure about "powerhouse". Its more likely that she just has some abilities that make her extremely useful to Big mom, but she can use them from that room (Think like Perona-ish). I wouldn't be surprised if she fights remotely/from far away or in a supporting role rather than getting her hands dirty.
I'll guess she winds up as Robin's opponent rather than the Monster Trio's.
-
Luffy just did it.
"Big Mom's distress?! Luffy you fucking idiot"
-
Three eye chick is obviously the first mate/possible daughter. Why are people underestimating the ugly dude with multiple faces too? Think we got our two strongest already.
That dude doesn't have multiple faces. It's just a weird mask that barely covers his actual face.
-
This Chapter is AWESOME,
And no, I don't think Luffy would start claiming random turf in random islands, he is doing so for Fishman Island because he CARES about protecting his new friends (Shirahoshi, Brohoshi, etc) and of course, Keimi, Papug, Hachin, and all that nice people that just fed him, and He thinks Big Mom is a threath to them too.
Maybe he would claim more territory IF other islands on his path also happen to have people he cares about and wants to protect.
Anyway, I didn't expect it so soon, but what an awesome way to end the year!
Can't wait for next chapter
-
Seeing this chapter now got me thinking of Shirly's prediction.
Perhaps it actually shows Luffy destroying the rest of the factory instead….......

@Al!naJames:
Character introduction chapters are my favorite!
Pretty cool new crew there : )
So we have a witch in a candy house from Hansel and Gretel, Humpty-Dumpty and Robin-Bobbin. Awesome!
Can't identify the 3eyed girl and the lion though. Yet.Did some arts~ I love fancy getups of the crew.

She totally looks like a mix between Shot and Yubaba from Spirited Away!
And no, I didn't give her pink hair cause I think she's Lola's/Bonney's mother, anime did.

By the way...epic chapter.It made me magma fist random people in the streets with a happy-absolute-justice smile in my face. -
Nice chapter -
Big Mum looks incredibly creepy, something out of my nightmares. Oda still amazes me with his designs. Also I think we have found Tien's long lost sister lol.
-
Sorry Skadi, it's just that since you seem to be liking Hammond now, we thought that he was your new husband now^^;;.
-
i have a strong feeling that the tien chin's sister chick with 3 eyes will become the next new nakama

I love a lot of characters, but VDD is my favorite one and Caribou is my husband. The Hammond set it´s because i got me an Ask Hammond account U:

Holy SHIT. This chapter blew me away. Incredible. So now we've come full circle from their entry into the Grand Line - making enemies with a Warlord, and now an Emperor. The whole scene with Big Mom was amazingly intense. The three-eyed girl is interesting… I can't wait for them to get there! These astonishing events seemingly debunk my prediction that Big Mom will become an ally - but there's still a chance! I'm convinced she is Lola's mother. Now please show us Kaidou!!
-
That dude doesn't have multiple faces. It's just a weird mask that barely covers his actual face.
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!
finally someone understands that, how many people had no idea what was going on it seems like a lot, probably cause when he was shaking his head so fast the first time, seemed to throw people off lol
-
I don't think Big Mom is Lola's mother. Just look at her, she was going to destroy Fishman Island over candy. Lola seems too nice and not crazy to be her daughter. Then again Luffy is Dragon's son so anything is possible I suppose.

the example seems a little weird
Luffy wants to become the pirate king but saves each island he goes by on the way, and dragon wants to destroy the WG because it's evil and corrupted…. there still pretty similar my guess is the only difference is dragons smart and bides his time well where as luffy's a moron and can't wait a minute

Luffy and Dragon do save a lot of islands from harm or evil but, their personalities are almost polar opposites. Luffy is extroverted and loud while Dragon is secretive and silent.
-
Cause we have seen so much from Dragon…
Iva could see the similarities between the two, but we can say they are polor opposites after like 3 pages with dragon. -

okay thought you were talking about actions, I'll agree there personalities seem to be polar opposites of each other, but we still haven't seen that much of him yet, maybe he'll change
ANYWAYS I wanted to ask do you guys think the fight with Big Mom will happen on FI since the island has yet to have been destroyed???
-
Prediction:
The tea party will be used to fully introduce big mom and her commanders/rest of her crew.Maybe also discuss important info for the reader.
Also,im getting a "fairy tail"( im not talking about that manga,relax)vibe from her crew.So I'm expecting a whole lot more wierder characters and powers.
-
http://p-bandai.jp/contents/onetama You know the most ironic? I thought Chopper's was a tanuki…
-
I kinda expected Luffy to end up taking the blame for the sweets, but I did not see him delivering such a daring challenge. Also Big Mom is more disgusting than I expected.
W00T about Chopper's hair. Never thought we would see it.
What's wrong with Sanji? He took that giant goblet but ignored the golden(?) mermaid?
Crazy theory right here since Oda loves hiding things in plain sight. That mermaid was turned into metal by some ability and in a later adventure she gets turned back into her living form and she will turn out to be someone from the Void Century and obviously she'll be a candidate for joining the SH. -
I have to say i haven't enjoyed a chapter like this since ages. I hope Oda keeps it up this time.
"How do you think a real-life man can become a fictitious man? The answer is simple. One must eliminate everyone who knows him, everyone who knows his past.
One must simply be the only one who exsists…"

But will the tea party even happen now????
wasn't it going to happen at fishman island, she said she just altered her anger towards luffy, but I guess the island has yet to have been destroyed
EDIT: I agree on the fairy tail aspect!!! I can't wait to see her crew

And wtf? Big Mum's crew have the craziest looking pirates ever…
Fantasique chapter! :D

Hmm, I'm not so sure about "powerhouse". Its more likely that she just has some abilities that make her extremely useful to Big mom, but she can use them from that room (Think like Perona-ish). I wouldn't be surprised if she fights remotely/from far away or in a supporting role rather than getting her hands dirty.
I'll guess she winds up as Robin's opponent rather than the Monster Trio's.
Well one thing is clear, she is not comfortable sitting there next to Big Mom/Mam (Did the databook say the name is Big Mam?) In the three panels we the 3-eyed lady, she looks like she's hiding some emotion like sadness or disgust. Maybe you're right and she has a some remote power (like Perona) and is being forced to work for Big Mom
-
Anyone speculate that the Great War that Whitebeard spoke of before his death was "Big Mam Vs. Luffy" :D?
At the end of the chapter it says; "A DECLARATION OF WAR!" -
Maybe Big Mam is Lola's granny.
Maybe Big Mam daughter that is "kind" Lola's Mom will help luffy fight "tyrannical" Big Mam crew.
-
This rivalry with Big Mom won't last. Mind you, I say this only from gut feeling, but I saw nothing in this chapter that screamed "big bad" to me. None of these people – including Big Mom -- have the look of villains to me. They look like your typical whacky side characters that befriend the Strawhats along the way. I get the feeling Oda seems to have gone out of his way to paint her in a menacing or mysterious light just to throw the reader off.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure she is a selfish pirate who's ruthless in her methods and may very well be a threat in the immediate future, but I don't expect it to end in your typical Luffy vs. Final Boss punch fest. Something (maybe Lola, maybe Bonney, maybe another element altogether) will get in the way to divert her attention.Her powers (almost certain she does have a fruit at this point) are also interesting to speculate about. A "Stomach Acid" or "Acid Saliva" fruit is just too easy. I could go on with a myriad of insane theories, but that's for another post.

That was a really awesome chapter. Great new character's design, creppy Big Mum, badass Luffy… and some big hype for the New World.
I'm usually too lazy to comment anything and just read the threads around here, but this time one thing really bugged me: the great amount of people saying Luffy is just too weak to face Bib Mum by now.
I honestly believe he is enough strong to beat the crap out her on the stage he is. Come on... He trained for two whole years with the Dark King himself. He did not only learn haki this time, he toughed-up a lot for sure. Ops, my bad: It was not for two years, it was for only 1 and a half year, because Luffy manage to learn all Reylegh planned to teach way faster than he thought (that's Oda telling us: "Luffy's stronger than Reyleigh would even have imagined").
I'm not saying he'll fight her in 15 chapts or so. It's most likely that we'll have a long arc (Alabasta-like), with them facing several Bib Mum's crew and allys and maybe some unrelated forces (supernovas, or ex-level 6 prisioners) until they actually meet LinLin herself. But that does not mean he'll be stronger by then. What will be "stronger" is the New World and Big Mum´s influences build-ups.
And thinking in retrospect, it's pretty similar to the the whole Crocs thing. Luffy had just entered the Grand Line and already made enemies with a Shichibukai. We might have thought he was just too green to make it, but it wasn't. As matter of fact, all he's previous enemies were the ones too weak for him (Kuro, Buggy, Krieg and even Arlong - none of them posed a threat to Luffy). Luffy's first real match was Croc (and then he lost twice and won once... but won). And only later we found out why that was actually possible and not "just because of plot": he spent 10 fucking years trainnig everyday with Sabo and Ace in a hellish jungle/dump! Of course Luffy felt confident since the beggining. He knew his strengh (well... until the world beat the crap out of him in Saboady/ID/Marineford).
The same thing is happenig now: he knows his current strengh (we are the ones who have no idea yet). The difference is that now he's got a lot more experience, fought with the world's best, and trainned with the world's best...Well... what I'm saying - if i'm saying anything at all - is that it's not too soon for them to face a Younkou. We just need to have a well build up arc (luckily, we have Oda to do so).
And as someone already pointed that the problem would not be Luffy beat a Younkou, but the afterwards. I beg to differ. There are a bunch of high level oponents (2 other younkou; all the supernovas - who does not fear the younkou as we seen with Drake and Kidd; old and new Shichibukais; level 6 prisioners; new world pirates; all Marine forces - with somewhat misterious new powerups as said by Jimbe; World Goverment itself; yet-to-be-known oponents...). Sorry to be the one who say this, but One Piece has to end some day...Affh... sorry for the long post.

Hey Guys,
I am new to posting although I read your guy's posts for a while now.
I dont know if this has been mentioned, but all I wanted to say is that I believe that Big Mom's crew seems to be based off fairy tales and myths. Humpty Dumpty (Baron Tamago), We have a Cyclops (That Girl), and whatever Big Mom is.
I also wanted to say that I hope that the new world is going to start dealing with "obtaining" islands under your pirate flag. It would be awesome if that started to play a big role in crews fighting and how pirates interact.
-
So is it Big Mam, Big Mama, Big Mom, or Big Mum cause I've literally seen all of these now

Oh man, this chapter. I hate how Oda teases us, but when he gives us stuff like this and the last, it's all the more sweeter.
That said, I can't imagine Linlink will go down so quickly. I think as Vongola said, the early Arcs of the New World, Linlin, her crew, and any allies chase Luffy throughtout her territories. I also imagine her VS Luffy will be like Crocodile, but stretched out far, far more.
Also, damn she's creepy looking.
-
Good chapter all around,nice humour and conversations,of course caribou bit isnt over yet.
Baron Tamago has the best design but i liked Peksom "pure" eyes i really laughed.The casual picking the phone that wasnt for him was really funny and yes luffy has big balls no wonder they shine.Hmm i wonder if there other tribes of long-insert body part :ninja:.
We know there are tribes with long body parts since the human auction house, Long arms, long legs, long necks, there are also Mikman or something like that and Dwarves along with the already known mermaids/fishman/giants and the sky races.
-
So is it Big Mam, Big Mama, Big Mom, or Big Mum cause I've literally seen all of these now
As far as I'm concerned, it's always been "Big Mom" – the only one that makes sense. "Mam" irks me to no end. The same thing happened with "Icebarg." You know what it's supposed to be, why would you let a mistranslation get in the way?
Oda's written it as "Big Mom" about twice now. -
So luffy is going to declare islands he wants to protect his after he beat their previous keepers? Doesn't sound as much conquering as protecting your friends by declaring they are your friends, i.e WB declaring that anyone who hurts his crew would be retaliated on whoever they were. What will Big Mam do with a rookie? And if she declares him her enemy, will luffy fight her henchmen or just wait for NW. And how come the whole treasure of FI amount to 3 bags? Even the food Hancock cooked was a lot larger.
