Was Momonosukes reveal and transformation to human the most anticlimatic ever? Yes it was.
At least give us some goodies how zoanfruits (and devil fruits in general) work!
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Chapter 696 - Matching Interests
-
-
Even Mangarule has "all of them", so Luffy still seems to be thinking of beating Shanks' crew along the way (probably the last one).
-
Great chapter, loves Nami's weakness and Law is being used by Luffy.
G5 knows how to cure their friends and Smoker called G5 so they can pick them up but it may take a while and DF will be in PH before they pick Smoker up so there might a fight depending on the circumstances.Damnit Oda threw a curveball… there's no way I would have thought Kaidou lol
Luffy puts up THREE fingers, does that mean he's not planning to fight Shanks?[/
May be he's not counting Kaido because he will fight him as an alliance no just his crew and whoever shows up for some reason I'm starting to think that there would really be 5 SN vs a yonkou
-
Holy crap. So its Kaido.
And Luffy eventually is going to go after Shanks.SOOO GOOD!
-
Curious as to what Luffy would do in his 'plan' if he finds out that Blackbeard is a yonkou… Would he immediately shift his attention towards him? Would he wait, knowing he isn't strong enough? Would he go ask for Shanks help or something? It's interesting...
-
Why are people acting like Kaido is going down before Doflamingo?
-
As it seems you really read the series and notice everydetail. Can you tell me who of the 11 Supernovas back in Sabaody wouldnt be 1 kicked koed by Kizaru?
i think kid and law didnt got 1kicked .. And the other just ran away..
-
Iam kind of confused how Momosuke was able to become a human again..did something special happen so that he was NOW able to do so outof nowhere?
Also i thought revealing his human look would be more interesting after all that face hiding previously.For me it seems like something terrible happened to them and they`re the last survivors or lost the rest of their family.
But still why was Momosuke hunting after those kids he has no connection to afterall?
He and his father seem to have enough problems of their own^^ , but i guess they will stick around with the crew now for some time before they finally come to Wano and so to their main problem. -

2. The devil fruit he ate was special. -
Kinemon telling Momonosuke to believe in the Strawhats really warmed my heart :')
-
Best part of this chapter was definitely Sanji finally bringing out one of his new recipes.
-
So what do you think this is? Doesn't look like Caribou to me, not to mention that wouldn't make sense (unless he lost his memory or something). -
@Don:

Its the emotion of seeing his father.
-

Well, the emotion of seeing that doFla vision was also pretty strong and that one did exactly nothing.

Or maybe that these Smile DFs only last for a short amount of time. It would make sense if once you eat one you essentially get stuck in that form for a few hours until you transform back.
That would also make cutting off the supply way more significant. If they're permanent, then all Law's done is ensure that Kaidou can't get MORE. But if he needed a constant supply, then cutting off that supply would make Kaidou significantly more vulnerable.

Wait Law said "I wonder who using whom"
what he meant he using Luffy? or Law using Smoker? or Luffy using Law? -

How did the G-5 Marines pinch Caesar with tweesers if he's a Logia? Is it because he's weakened and frozen?
-

Because he has seastone handcuffs on…
That they "tortured" Caesar to get the information actually makes it more okay for me, that the others probably will survive. And at least some people in this arc died anyways (marines blown up by Smiley).^^
-
-
Okay, who can deny Oda is thinking of Usopp X Nami in the back of his mind after this chapter? I mean, they are like THIS >< close.
-
Wait Law said "I wonder who using whom"
what he meant he using Luffy? or Law using Smoker? or Luffy using Law?He was saying that to Smoker because Smoker was asking Law questions about what youkou he's going after first. That's how I saw it anyway haha.
-
Lovely chapter.
Still, feels like it might not be the best time for the end-of-the-arc party, but that could just be Law's hastiness rubbing off on me. Normally, they wait until everyone is alive and safe….I guess they have no way of knowing DoFlo is on his way, but isn't there still gas around, and dead guys? Especially if Smoker is going off to save the marines, I would think they would wait until then. But maybe the Straw Hats aren't going to wait around, and I'd rather move on, too.
Anyways, my favorite thing is probably Nami's bit. It's good to be reminded of their pasts and what they carry with them, even though they’ve long since found a family in the Straw Hats. And especially for Tashigi's sake, it was a real help, since she hasn't done too well on the battlefield, and is mostly just there to support Zoro's and Smoker's characterization. But mostly, I just really like it when OP ladies get along. Nami’s always had a much better relationship with women than men.
Kinemon is okay…fine. Cool. Whatever. We knew he’d be healed one way or another, so why not get it over with with as little logic as possible? XD
Oh Caesar’s face was hilarious.
Law and Smoker sitting back and chatting was nice, too. Even though they aren’t much for partying, at least they are sharing the food.
I’m also a little disappointed Law fixed the kids, and Chopper just freaked out. It would have been nice to have Law say something, especially in regards to Mocha, like “well I fixed her, but she wouldn’t have made it this far if it hadn’t been for you, Dr. Chopper.”
The G-5 are so hilarious. Them + Sanji is one of the best things in this arc.
Kinemon and Momonosuke
People crying and eating is double-sad.Also Law wondering who is using who for this plan. Finally starting to catch on to what he got himself into, no?
And it makes sense for Luffy to basically be fighting everyone - this is the New World, after all. -
He was saying that to Smoker because Smoker was asking Law questions about what youkou he's going after first. That's how I saw it anyway haha.
No, Smoker implied that Law was going to use Luffy, but Law said that he feels the opposite and Luffy is using him.
-
@Don:
Well, the emotion of seeing that doFla vision was also pretty strong and that one did exactly nothing.
"nothing" is not quite correct, it knocked him out actually - or got a confusion mixed with rage and fear? =P
wut ever, it made him runaway/flyaway in despair -
Ah, Sanji's cooking is so good, it makes Brook suddenly re-materialize his tongue in anticipation!
All in all though, this chapter was a nice tying of loose ends, even Kinemon's recovery felt like a cop-out.
Now, is it just me, or does anyone else want to hear Law's master plan on defeating Kaido? For some reason, I'm thinking Ocean's 11 style Casino Heist where everything's all elaborate and well-thought out, but because Luffy's involved it's all going to go straight to Hell pretty quickly.
And while I enjoy the idea of Kaido having a circus theme to him, that's too much like Buggy's turf, although the idea of a fight between a Pirate Ringleader and a Pirate Clown does intrigue me some.
-
I'm wonder if even then would he be lax. After all, Luffy is still his enemy. They are just temporarily working together.
I feel by like the end of it, they won't be enemies. Since this is Luffy's story, he will be the one who really brings down Kaido, thus LAw will know his power, and along the way Law will fall victim to that special power of Luffy's and they will be true allies by the end.
I am confident enough to wager that Law and Luffy will never have a serious winner take all fight. From this point on they will never be enemies moving against each other.
-
@Mr.:
Now that I look more closely, Luffy is only holding up three fingers. So I take it's actually the three other Yonkou warlords, starting with Kaidou, sans Shanks?
btw, I was reading Mangastream's scan. It seems MangaPanda's is even more erroneous.
Some people were saying Luffy had walked away when Jinbei announced Blackbeard was a Yonkou meaning Luffy only knows that there are 3 of them.

No, Smoker implied that Law was going to use Luffy, but Law said that he feels the opposite and Luffy is using him.
Now I understand, for "ordinary pirates" Law's offer will be hard decision
and hard task and he has Luffy, what Law didn't know that Luffy not "ordinary pirate"
and Luffy accpted but he hears from Luffy "I want to take all of the yonku"
so he didn't was pepered to this kind of answer because now he must to help Luffy with this,
GOOD LUCK LUFFY. -
Getting to read C3 and mangarule's version on a Wednesday? Great thing, thanks for that.
-

Or it could mean Kaido's the first of the four that Luffy's scratching off his list and that's why he's only holding three as an indicator.
-
Guys I am a bit worried about the one who claimed that he stole Oda's work. Even though guessing who Law was going to go after is a 50/50 between BM and Kaidou, it still is suspicious. If the shadow guy happens to be Dragon, what is everyone's thoughts on it? Very creepy…
-

Maybe. But according to what was in the spoiler thread the actual translation for this chapter was shitty for mangapanda and mangastream.
-
Guys about the caribou cover. I don't know if you remember but a time ago caribou crew attacked G5 base to save him. Perhaps it's his crew who take the g5 uniform because they had lost close in the battle.
It remind me one thing if the g5 base is torn to pieces when does the ships will come for smoker and all ? -
Only really enjoyed the last few pages of the chapter. Nice to see Sanji using his recipes to "power-up" (in some way) the crew, even if we don't see them all eating the food. I'm a little confused as to how Kinemon survived as if Shinokuni's power meant nothing??? And speaking of which, isn't Shinokuni-gas still supposed to be a threat looming the island? Anyways, Kinemon's son Momonosuke has a problem and I'd like to know more about that, but I'm sure once Doflamingo comes, it'll all be sorted out.
Still I'd like to know who threw Chopper that note way back. I'd like to know where Law's crew is. I'd like to know more info on what the Yeti-Cool bros were? And more info on the Smile fruit, like any drawbacks to the fruit and so on?
-
Whaa whaa what I want, is DD crashes the party, (maybe even past-Ace style) then grape everyone because that would be something new. And nice little detail on smoke/gassy shit what comes around the samurai-boya when Fruit-lays off, dat is nice. G-5 is damn great again. Good chapter, story just slowing down again, its shame. PLUS! No post-interaction with Tashigi und Zoro, what the fck!? Lame.

Trust me, he was just a troll, it's only a coincidence that he predicted it would be Kaido.
But yeah, if the shadow figure is Dragon, then we have a problem…:ninja:

He also correctly named Kaidou's title (whatever the fancy word is) and that is something that seems pretty hard to guess. Regardless great chapter but I'm confused as to why they rescued Baby 5 and Buffalo and what plans they have for those two.

did anyone save his posts?
I want to read them again can someone PM them to me? -

@Nex:
I'd recommend you don't look or ask. Vanessa threatened to ban anyone who brought it up.
i already read them but having a record would be nice
-
This post is deleted!
-
I have them but I'm afraid I'll get banned if I post then anywhere.
I don't understand why they can't be posted in the theories/fan fiction thread. We all know that they're not true, but never the less I found them really interesting as they were theories I'd never considered before. Guys got a good imagination and acted well when asked to "look for stuff". I can't see why we couldn't continue to let him entertain us between chapters, as long as it's made clear to everyone that this is ONLY FAN FICTION and nothing more.
He should have his own thread, lol, I hope he's not been banned.

Well, We could only wait and see if the shadow guy is monkey D dragon. I don' t think that it is dragon. Partly because he is the most wanted man in the world and it would be so ridiculous to sail the seas in the care-free manner( remember that the shadown guy said he overlsept a bit).In addition, I see no reason for dragon to come to Punk Hazard, unless he is the so called "Jack" that the people were talking about. Whatever the case, let's enjoy the one piece story and eagerly wait for the shadow dude to show up instead of talking about some unproven spoilers .

If kaidou mean lion ( and king of hundred beasts) which is say some page ago I well see luffy said "I'm gonna show you who his the king of the beast" about his training In Rusukaina you know where he becomes the king of an island of big big beast.
And this is my theory but I think because his attacks take the name of the beast of Rusukaina so we have at least some gorilla, crocodile, and lion new attack at least of what we are sure because we see them when luffy left the island after the two years of training. -

Which sounds totally like a member of Luffys family
We will see.
