wouldn't it be fun if momonosuke would be zoro's disciple?
Chapter 696 - Matching Interests

As some have hinted at, there's definitely something going down at Wano. Most likely Wano arc story will be fashioned after the Western invasion of Japan. Expect the story to focus heavily on Xenophobia.

I think this would work best for the Wano arc.
Would the Marines represent the Western invaders Or maybe one of the Brokers?

I am a bit disappointed at how easily everything wrapped up. Now they even had a party and ate and basically got all their strength back so a fight with Dofla is now out of the question. The combination of the Strawhats ,Law and Smoker would crush even an admiral. Well unless they make Doflas hilariously overpowered but I hope they don't go on this route
I don't agree on them being able to crush an admiral together. Keeping one at bay however seems very likely. But I do however agree that Dofla got no chance what so ever against their combined power, assuming something extremely cheesy doesn't happen.
Regarding the next arc, I think it doesn't seem very likely that the Strawhats will be visiting Wano or Dressrosa in the nearest future. I don't see a point in going there both story wise but also from a Law-Strawhat point of view.

I didnt read spoilers for this chapter and all I can say is… OMG!! Its really worth it! Super fun chapter with that surpise if the Yonkou that Law planned to take down is actually Kaido! "Kaidou of Hundred Beasts" is his nickname hmmm, which remind me about Drake (Dinosaur) wooooooooooooooo!! Epic chapter!! :wub:
-
luffy's 'let's party' line was totally in character but honestly this is turning into an incredibly dangerous situation fast
they seriously need to get away Doflamingo, and it seems that his crew might be coming too, making this an even bigger predicament
if I were Law I'd be yelling to the crowd that Doflamingo was coming and they need to book ass fast
given the fact that Doflamingo showing up and meeting the Strawhats is now almost inevitable, that shadowy figure being Aokiji seems even more likely

The Marines representing the western side would be perfect!
We'd be able to get a good look at how the New Marine Regime is under Akainu.

Umm they don't know DD is coming unless they tortured baybe 5 and Buffalo as-well
-
Law said that if they waited around any longer someone would be sure to come after them
perhaps he didn't know it was Doflamingo himself but it is pretty sensical that he'd want everyone to get off Punk Hazard
Dofla or his crew would likely come anyway simply to inspect the damage or see if they could salvage anything. whatever the case, staying is danger and Law should announce that
-
Kaido fought Moria before,my prediction is that their fighting styles are the same,in other words Kaido doesn't rely on his own power he controls others and uses them to fight like a necromancer or something…That's why he's called the man of a hundred beasts -I'm a genius....No seriously Today's chapter is eeeeeepic-
-
Sigh… No, Kaido isn't called king.
He is Kaidou od hundred beasts.
Separate from that, a LION is called "king of hundred beasts" in Japanese.Same exact words used for the hundred beasts, making it likely that Kaidou's title comes from the reference to a lion.
so does this mean Kaidou might be a Lion Zoan????
although i guess pekoms is a lion already… but he has a turtle DF.... i'm so confused

I ship Nami and any marine women now. :D

I re-read the chapter at mangastream, much better translation. Two things:
1. Whats up with Monosuke refusing to eat? Some Wano tradition perhaps?
2. Surprised Luffy wants to take down all four emperors, including Shanks. Seems kinda shitty seeing as Shanks saved Luffys life -
I found insanely funny in mangastream's translation,on the last page how obviously Luffy has 3 fingers up and the bubble above him says:"with all four of them" xP

Ya know, I'm not feeling this party now. After two cliffhangers, one being murdering pirate lord, it feels that this isn't the time. Add to the fact that Law, the marines, and the pirates are barely friends, and we have one of the weakest end-of-the-arc parties I've seen. Yeah it's totally in character for Luffy, but still, weak.
Monosuke's scenes were nice though. I'm wondering how our samurai family will play out later.

I think that's the point. Law already warned Luffy that this is dangerous. My bet is that the party gets crashed by DoFlamingo.

Just fair fight sparring -

This is only a part of a bigger arc .

That's completely balooney.
If I so desired, I could have an entire weekly manga chapter translation done, handed to editor, discuss with and explain segments, have them edited for final script, in just about an hour. My own draft would take much less time of course. Really, the bulk of time consuming aspect of scanlation, I would gather, is actual cleaning and fonting the pages. A professional translation work involves hundreds of times more text than a mere weekly manga chapter.Tranlation part should have no bearing on so called "speed" of release.
They just have bad translators. Give them extra 24 hours and you will not get any better result.
speaking from experience.
translatiors have roughly 2-3 hours for each chapter to translate and its more than enough. So anyone claiming that because they release it fast they lose quality cant be more wrong on this subject. The translator they use will give the same shitty results no matter if they take 2-3 hours or 2-3 days. Same thing applies to Scanlators also. To clean a page and bring it to the qualify of Mangastream/Mangarule takes roughtly the same amount of time(give or take half 30) as to bring it to Mangapand standarts. In the end all that matters is why you do it. If you have no intent to present a nice project then your qualify will always suck.Great chapter ,but to be honest I'm alittle overwhelmed with the Yonko business at the moment. Just when we get excited about possibly facing Big Mom ,now Kaidou is already coming into play as well. I agree with someone who said the pacing between the New World and paradise is different.
What truly interests me now more than anything though is the interaction between Kinemon and Momo , like Sanji I could totally tell something was there, a tragic history.
I really hope Wano isn't another save this kingdom arc though , wouldn't wanna read the wining from everyone.
Hehe i told you it was Kaidou in earlier chapter discussions
-
Fighting Shanks doesn't mean they killing each other. Just to see how strong he's it and proved to shank, that he can will be Pirate king.
Just fair fight sparringI didn't mean killing each other either, but Law is making pretty serious plans to take down the emperors and by 'take down" I mean like, destroy their ideals, kick their ass, ruin their reputation etc. It just seems weird. I mean, it's not like Shanks would stand in Luffy's way to become the Pirate King. Blackbeard, however…

@Low-fi:

He only wants to challenge him to a fight to prove his strength doesn't have to be a deathmatch -more like his fight with jimbe in fishman island-
-
It was a good chapter wrap up to the P.H series with the party and all.
So Kaido eh? This should be interesting, maybe we'll see Drake and company?
As for the "Shank's" and a df discussion just let it drop people. No one expected W.B to have the Gura Gura but out of nowhere he used it and we were all shocked! No one except Oda knows if Shank's or anyone on his crew has a d.f or not.
-
Maybe he's a Juggalo clown warrior that's modeled after Gamzee Makara. :ninja:
Maybe he's a cyborg clown modelled after Gamzee Makara as if he were a bot.
Imean.
I can imagine Franky and Buggy being siblings and Kaidou kicking them off the boat due to them being too flashy and super and annoying o u o; -
Manga stream actually did a good job at translating that chapter http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/75355832/1

Yes you did !! And see you were right ,so there was no need to get upset over my over assumptions.
-
It's always better to wait for the mangastream translation rather than the mangapanda one! Definitely worth it, love these kind of post-arc party chapters.
With so much going on in this arc I forgot about law's plan to go after an anonymous yonkou and know we know its kaidou; but who will they face first Big Mam or Kaidou?
-

It's funny because I remember about 3 years ago when OneManga was still around that people always laughed at the Mangastream translations calling them no good. Now they're the ones that we place our hopes in.
-
Bellemere and Kaidou of the 1000 Beasts… It's funny how little you actually need to starve for more.
-
I really like how Luffy is confident, he is currently going after them. I don't think Kidd and Law will become the new Yonkou's if Kaidou falls i think X Drake will become a yonkou. Maybe Kid and Law will fight for that title… However, with Luffy claiming territories like this the WG probably are going to label him one or maybe it's another pirate we have yet to see.
-
I think I've had enough of Law for know. He seems so out of place to be honest.
Still, his face was priceless when Luffy started the party despite having promised not to do so~

Drake be yonkou? No way! If he's with Kaido he will get his ass kick too.

All I can say is that it's really convenient & lucky that we have expert translators at APForums, because One Piece is definitely a manga about the details. But yeah, I don't mind Mangastream when I used to be rather ambivalent to them. I still remember when they were on their streak of using the phrase "malopropos" everywhere lol, and just generally "spicing up" everyone's dialogue.
Awesome chapter as usual. I didn't realize that Luffy walked away at the point Jinbe talked about Blackbeard, either… Good catch, guy (DARK_RITUAL)! This party is nooot going to end well.
-

I found Law's face really funny when he came out of the childrens room and said he sliced them up

-
He was a rear admiral before he became a pirate he could actually hit a Pacifista it took the entire Strawhats to fight one. Kidd and Law's fruit were great for their encounter but Drake managed to do what he did in human form.. I think Drake is very strong imagine after the Timeskip… The thing is though I don't know what his goal is so if he wants the title or not is unknown.
-
Wow Oda doesn't really hold back when he wants to move the plot forward… Why couldn't he just have skipped all the running instead?
-
Did Caribou just end up with a new frigin crew?
-
Kaidou's the Zoo-keeper, and there I was thinking that it was BM.
Who's upset that Brownbeard's just gonna' disappear after all of his hardships, whereas everyone else's problems've been wholly resolved (i.e Kinemon and G-5's 'death'; Law curing the children). Surely Law couldn't just sort Brownbeard out, in the same fashion as he did with the kiddies? He's had some redeeming moments in the arc, and now he's just gonna' be swept into jail?
Equally, who else's a lil' annoyed that the cure to the 'Nation of Death' is being pushed over?
-
@Sonic:

Oda really likes to convey struggle and a sense of urgency. It feels like you're there running with them more (aka you're more involved) if he constantly shows them running. I too thought it was excessive, looking back, but I would only reduce it by a fraction, not relegate it to narration speech bubbles that say "And they ran, and ran, and ran some more."

Well, we all easily forget how Brownbeard pillaged and oppressed WB's villages as soon as Newgate's death.
We may see him as a changed man now, but he's still going to have to repent his crimes somewhere.
I kinda figured he'll have some kind of resolve like this, although I would have liked it better if his redemption came with him taking care of the kids as guardian or some other method, rather than simply being locked up and treated. -
Yonkus are not Shichibukais, they are not named by the marines/government. There are 4 currently but if one is to disappear, it does not mean he will be replaced by another one just because there needs to be 4 of them ! There could be a 5th or a 6th contender. Or just remain 1 or 2, but super strong.

Guys who is x-drake?
Isnt he the one who lost to kizaru in 1 second????
