Ahh, sorry :P

That is pretty much what i find weird, too. There is no reason for her to be pretending doing something good for the children or pretending to care for them but in this chapter she even talks about parenting and such in a pretty straight forward way. She really gives off a weird vibe.
Well, it all made sense until I was reminded of that scene with Caesar and Law. Now it doesn't.
Unless she has overgrown mother instincts (which let her intentionally kill children.wat).
My head hurts. -
So yeah, I'm expecting pages of "Monet is being mind-controlled" or "Monet is being used by DoFlo" theories now.
Unless turning into the snow monster makes her significantly stupider, something weird is going on here.
-
Ahh, sorry :P
you can barely see her face in this one too, seems like the original raw is the way to go
-
Zoro has been lazy for a while now still he wanted to fight Monet but she all over the place attacking everyone .
-
Ahh, sorry :P

It's still blurred out, man they put some heavy contrast effect on them.
-
Okay well, doesn't matter, she had to piss Zoro off. Zoro asks how to use Haki to slice. Zoro goes "Kokutou Daienbu no Toragari" or something and Monet pisses herself.
-
Yeah that arm is a goner haha. Hey now this chapter is a action-filled Monet, Nami, Robin goodness chapter, it is far from useless. Build-up for one of the enemy that is pretty much not a throwaway character anymore.
-

Yes, RAW picture is better ^^
-
I'm a bit lost again. Is/Was Monet always a logia? I thought she was a zoan making use of snow. I mean she has wings and bird feet. So was her appearance due to experiments? Or is there something about harpies I don't know about or just being made up and added in? Mythical zoan?
-
Zoro felt Sanji's presence, that's why he didn't attack her. Imagine if he sliced her in half right before sanji enters the room, what do you think would be his reaction? Good guy Zoro.
-
@The:
Question, what happened to the marine's shoulder when Monet bit it? Did it froze or something.
Let's say it's a perfect example of… frostbite :ninja:

She was always a logia, the legs and wings are most likely Law's work.

Zoro's gonna get stabbed thought the chest by monet

also the final resize doesnt help with saving lot of small details

aohige more like final size goes to the entire page and it goes to like 3x resize(usually the final height is set to 1100 or around there). And most of these scanlators use fast and wrong methods to produce the final result hence the bad translation/scanlation :( . The problem is that at this point they replace speed over details something that was happening always.
edit 1: Also simple leveling gives you a lot of work on each page(to make whites white, blacks black and to get a nice grey pattern) so its never used that way
-
Zoro doesn't hit women, that's why he didn't attack. Tashigi knows it, that's why she decides to stay to fight Monet.
-
why did Monet say
"just like a pirate to steal these precious treasures away"
isn't she in flamingo's crew
that makes me think maybe shes really not

Huh? Yeah, I know, but
I'm just posting avatar size cut ready to use, dude -
In the flashbacks, Monet has legs and no wings. She's definitely one of the weakest, illtrained of any logia we've met in this series while at the same time avoiding direct confrontation because people like Luffy and Zoro are, what she considers, too strong for her.
This is prolly ill conceived, but what if Monet was normal when she was assigned to watch over Joker. In her time there she got her snow powers from an artificial fruit much like the one Momo ate and her harpie look was born when law arrived, by her request.
Entertaining chapter, definitely looking forward to the mangarule scanlation.

Her wings are snow. How are people still not getting this? Nami melted one with her heat egg. How could a Zoan control snow the way she does? The bird feet are most likely due to Law, because she had human legs during an earlier flashback scene.
-
Pretty great chapter, one of my favorites of the arc so far. Loved that Sanji part which basically amounted to "Look at him- look at him and laugh!"
Well rounded chapter with a little of everything.
-
do any of you find that this chapter makes zoro looks weak? its like he needs tashigi's help to take down monet…I thought he would beat her easily..
-
@Hyperkinetic:

That's the opposite way I would describe her. Sure, she might be "weaker" in comparison to Enel or Akainu, but she acknowledges the strength of others, and is quite smart in battle. She even said, "Winning or losing doesn't necessarily depend on your fighting skills." That alone makes her more dangerous than the likes of Caribou, who'd blindly attack without reading his opponent.
-
Thanks, very early today! :-)
-

Obviously he can beat her, he just somehow inherited Sanji's chivalry.
-
Very good chapter. The interactions between Zoro and Sanjii always crack me up.
Monet uses her Logia in a very interesting name. We havent seen anyone do the whole "monster" trick with their logia since Eneru. For the NW she's kinda weak but she would kick ass in the first half of the GL.I'm still a bit confused about the technicalities of swordsman using haki against logia. When Vista slashed Akainu he didnt get hurt, he just commented on the haki.
-

I'm admittedly not paying much attention and for some reason since the whole fighting and chasing started in the base the art is just confusing me for some reason. Like I'm barely keeping up with how things go panel to panel.
Plus I'm not rereading these chaps much since they're not as entertaining.
-

Nice (chapter-related so I'm not O/T) avatar.
Wish I could color that fast.RE: Zoro somehow being weak by not slashing Monet to bits
Him needing Tashigi =/= Tashigi coming of her own volition to help him (which was what happened). -
@Rotten:

Vista's mojo wasn't as mojotastic as Akainu's mojo.

It hasn't been stated outright but my guess is if the DF user has haki that is stronger than the attackers haki then he'll not get injured. Akainu was later injured by Whitebeard despite having haki so my guess is WB haki > Akainu's haki, Akainu's haki > Marco & Vista's haki, Rayleigh's haki > Kizaru's. So if Akainu hadn't used haki, Vista would have hurt him.

Zoro would fight a women but wouldn't seriously hurt them unless he has to.
!
! And then we have Zoro crushing the head of Miss Monday. He did hit the Nun and her kid too.
I think Zoro was about to get serious when the Marines where getting hit.
Edit: I guess we need to have a gauge of this "fighting women" thing.
Luffy would beat the shit out of a women…
Zoro would only fight them when he has to but wouldn't seriously injure them. Unless if your Miss Monday.
Sanji would die before hitting a women even if the situation demands it. -
LOL, we've only seen the start of Monet vs Zoro fight and people are already whining.
Can't some of you guys take it easy with the complaints for now? Get some goddamn patience while you're at it too.
-
What a chapter.
Monet is evil, period. Unless some intrincate and way out of context plotline develops she has the same probability of joining the crew as I have of lifting a 5 storey building by myself. Gotta admit though that I love her character further now, just so enthralling. She
s kind of cute when blushing all over and that _snowomanster is creepy-derpy-cool._ _Wow, Names for another 4 children? They
ll have a role alright whether big or tiny I´ve got no clue but spending a whole page on giving names strikes me as if Oda is starting to pave his way for another plotline_.Sanji and Zoro`s interaction cracks me up, That rivalry is out of this world, and the G5 people certainly helped with the humour, I think is the first time that one of them influences a group of people to mock on the other, though I might be wrong.
Heat egg?. Seriously? of all things an egg? I hope it hatches someday. It seems quite obvious that monet disliked being melted by a "magic wand" but the way she said "cat burgler" and then her bounty makes me think that she feels Nami is the weakest link in the SH.
For people who like to compare Aokijis and Monets abilities, I think this chapter alone shows just how different the functionality of both logias are. I actually felt as if the snow fruit was ment to be more versatile and nimble when compared to the hie hie no mi which is a powerhouse based on " it doesn
t matter what happens I
ll freeze it".Tashigi to the rescue:blink: Ok. I like what I saw at the end, but why on earth is Zoro holding back?
-
Huh, how weird. I thought Monet was wearing a thong on page 4… and I STILL think that.
It's not like no girls in this series wear them (Mozu & Kiwi).Is there any significance behind the names Mocha, Doran, Konbu, and Uzu?
Anyone know? -
Oh my god…Tashigi i'm in love. :wub:
-
Pretty good chapter, am glad every one in the crew got fair share action in this time.
-I like the idea of Zoro not being able to attack cuz he doesn't know how to work haki 100 % yet, that shows hes not perfect and after all it took Luffy to train haki for 2 years it makes sense. Maybe Luffy can teach him some tricks??
-Sadly, looks like the chances of Monet joining the crew is going down the drain each chapter, was really hoping for her but oh wells. Maybe they'll at least do a Vivi for her, let her stay with them for a while and allow the guys to help save her from Dof???
-I was hoping Sanji drooling over a girl like that was over after the whole Sanji being in Nami's body thing, he was being so awesome till that happened but hopefully it doesn't last too long.
-Guess every one is going to get redeemed this arc, first Smoker now his sidekick?? Forget her name sorry HA. And finally will be getting some interactions between her and Zoro, was worried that wouldn't happen this time. Zoro won't like her getting in between his fight though, poor guy should be able to take her on by himself, all hes been doing this arc is sleeping or drinking or watching the others fight meh. Still, possible team up could be fun.
-Monet was adorable in some scenes, blushing? Man how I wish she'd join but.
-Chopper doesn't seem to be doing much this arc, poor guy him and Franky got the short of the stick this arc man HA.
-No Luffy and Momo this week Cries Missed you both, hope next chapter is about them.
-It was great seeing Robin and Nami doing getting good moments in.
Over all, yah loved this chapter. Can't wait for the next one
-
Huh. I see Monet as a more extreme version of Nami and Robin combined - the two did evil things to survive, and Monet is just someone who threw away her morals to survive.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
And for a moment there I thought we were going to get a Nami vs. Monet D:
-
TASHIGI~!! :wub:
Keep that momentum going, Oda! Tashigi vs. Monet is the fight I've been anticipating the most (followed by Smoker vs. Vergo), so please don't let me down.
Anyway, fangasm aside, what a chapter. I don't get how some of you are still wondering what Monet's intentions are, when we've clearly been shown that she's an evil, child-endangering woman. No brainwashing, no ulterior motives, she just happens to get her kicks from deceiving children and drugging them (Caesar and her probably twirl their imaginary mustaches and laugh evilly any time a child happens to be going through withdrawal symptoms). Bitch is evil, plain and simple… but she still looked cute when she was fidgeting with her wings. Of course, her snow monster form and rotten personalty overshadow that brief moment of cuteness. Of course, if I turn out to be wrong, then the joke's on me, but I am 100% positive she's not going to join the Straw Hats…
I won't comment on Zoro blocking but not attacking until we see more of the fight, but I will say that Tashigi getting the first hit on Monet was so utterly satisfying. I can't wait for next week! There is a chapter next week, right (ugh, I'm that guy)?

It hasn't been stated outright but my guess is if the DF user has haki that is stronger than the attackers haki then he'll not get injured. Akainu was later injured by Whitebeard despite having haki so my guess is WB haki > Akainu's haki, Akainu's haki > Marco & Vista's haki, Rayleigh's haki > Kizaru's. So if Akainu hadn't used haki, Vista would have hurt him.
Yes, does seem like the most logical explanation.

This is gold.

I'm really enjoying how quickly Nami handles her Climatact now. I remember the Alabasta days when it was like fiddling with a very uncooperative snake…
And yes, Monet is really throwing me for a loop. For now I'm just going to assume she has soft spot for young/cute things. She just has to fulfill her duty to her superiors with the candy. While she is drugging them, maybe she still desperately wants to fulfill her maternal instinct, so even though she's doing something so awful she extracts some joy out of it by acting like she's doing a virtuous thing?
-
Except we've known that since Caribou on FI… so in reality it was BEYOND obvious.
On FI he just felt the presence, while in this chapter he predicted the movements.
Do you have autism or something?
-
Nice fight chapter, and honestly a little more entertaining then the previous ones, because stuff kinda moved forward a bit more.
-

According to your post I'm not 100% sure you know what autism is.
-
Zoro isn't attacking her because he is worried that he might accidentally cut through the walls and start letting the gas in? I have a hard time thinking of another explanation that doesn't flat-out contradict his own lesson to Luffy to take things seriously because they're in the New World now. Still gives some credit to Monet if Zoro thinks he would have to use enough power to cause great collateral to take her down.
