Hi everyone, new here tho I've been reading you since a long time. Really nice chapter but i really wanted a luffy/smoker zoro/tashigi goodbye talk
Here i give you a little present . While reading , I had this scene in my head all the time. This is how i would summarize this chapter in 1 picture. It had to be done XD .
!
SHIT just got REAL for DD and i like the den-den too
PD: Sorry if i make occasional english mistakes. i do what i can
I am not postive but I am pretty sure Momo saw a hallucination because he was starving. I don't think it was a side effect of the artifical decil fruit. Also the reason Momo was fainting and why he looked really frail was because he was starving. I think he we t 10 days without eating, maybe???? I could be wrong.
There's still something off about it though. It was Vegapunk's failed experiment DF that Momo ate and is not the ones CC has been making. There shouldn't be any DD-VP connections at all unless… CC did something about it which is why its considered as a failed one by VP. But if it is... well, why was its still untouched if its similar to the one CC's been making all along... hmmm...
Otherwise, it will be DD's trump card.

time to share some theories i've heard.. :p
- doflamingo stepping down..
now there might be two reasons why law wants doflamingo to revoke his status as a shichibukai..
one is obviously for doflamingo's ass to get hunted down by the WG so he can't run the underworld freely..
two maybe just maybe law wants to make a certain person shichibukai.. and since all the spots are taken one needs to step down..
IMO, if one wants to be one, since they're all pirates anyways, I think they could fight for the position.
That way, one could defeat a shichibukai to be a shichibukai. Man… I want to see this.
Probably already said. But maybe Kaido will be a mythical zoan of the Hydra or Chimera type.
So one of the easiest ways to tell who's a good guy and who's a bad guy in One Piece is to watch how they treat their subordinates. Thats a real big key with Oda where if either a pirate or a marine treats the people under him/her well they are usually good. Very rarely do we see villains who treat their crew well. Their are exceptions of course with some indication that BB cares and some vague hints that Moria liked his crew before they got wiped out by Kaido, but if you look across the landscape of villains in OP this remains true.
Whats interesting is, from what we've seen from Dofla so far, he legitimately cares for his crew. He somberly thanked Monet after she was about to die (after admittedly sending to her death) and didn't scold Baby 5 or Buffalo when he found them. Actually he was concerned and wanted their bodies back from Law. Now this could be pride, but it shows a side from a villain we don't often see. Even more interesting is how breezily he screwed over Disco back during the SA arc, but he probably didn't give a shit about him.

It could also be salting the wound. So far Doflamingo has overwise been untouchable when it came to his business ventures (i.e. the Bellamy pirates, Human Auctioning House, etc.), in which he could just get rid of them or give them up when he lost interest. But since he got in bed with a Yonko, he's in danger of being killed by a man should he ever upset him in any way. Not to mention Law was the guy's subordinate for some odd number of years, it probably felt good to imagine him boiling with rage at having been bested by a rookie.
@melody:
- green bit..
i've heard that oda said that the next island will involve new species and the moon..
Didn't the Green Databook mention Enel returning at some point in the story. Is this where he'll make a reappearance.
@melody:
time to share some theories i've heard.. :p
- sky path..
doflamingo was jumping through the air and then he said "damn those rookies to think that the sky path would be cut off.." i thought maybe law cut his strings at some point but..
before the time skip there was a scene were scratchmen appo was running on air from boars..! [qimg]http://img.mangastream.to/manga/one-piece/595/OP_03.png[/qimg]
even before that ganfal was talking to SH's that there are other ways to reach skypia but they are more dangerous..! [qimg]http://img.mangastream.to/manga/one-piece/238/One Piece - 238 - 06.jpg[/qimg]
and now we see doflamingo actually jumping on this "sky path.."! [qimg]http://img.mangastream.com/m/51/94448642/14f2be2c9308763cf6a8571c89d45452.png[/qimg]
there might exist a network of invincible paths on the sky going from island to island in the new world..
It's been said by translators that he was basically saying a metaphor. Something along the lines of "My path to the top has been blocked…"
A very similar situation happened years ago with something Ace said. Ace told Luffy to meet him again "at the Pirate's summit". What he meant was "Meet me at the top of the Pirate World", as in being the strongest, not an actual place. This is probably the case here with Doflamingo, too.
There has been said to be another way to get to Sky World, but Doflamingo was nowhere near that high. The White Sea is 7000 feet above sea level, and it was said to be accessible from High West.
Erm looked more like Doflamingo using "Geppou" to fly through the sky. So next episode might be some preview of something going on around the world perhaps?! Happens every time at the end of an arc
Alright, here's a wacky theory on 100 Beasts Kaido… He's a cyborg. But various augmented parts have been "fed" Zoan Devil Fruits (probably also SMILES once he got a hold of them) and then attached to him, letting him pull off ridiculous and seemingly random transformations while fighting.
In a fist fight? His steel hands can transform into a bear and a lion to take heavy bites out of his enemy. About to be punched? His chest can transform into a poisonous slug, cushioning the blow and potentially negating an enemy immediately. Someone is trying to cut his head off? Part of it can turn into a porcupine to parry the strike with his spines.
In this way, he's been changed so much that calling him human really seems inappropriate (just like how we are constantly reminded that Franky can't really be called human anymore), fits with the tech theme that people used to apply to him, and also works with his nickname. Plus, I keep thinking of seeing something like that in a fight and I get crazy excited.
May you live in interesting times.
May you attract the attention of those above you.

He's no awesome octopus, but. His expression haunts me.
His expression does seem quite perturbed. I bet it caught his eyes that Luffy highly resembles his long-lost egg-shaped race with how much food he's been stuffing down. Even though Luffy has yet to make the full transformation by still having a somewhat human face, he's taking what any disfigured background character can get at this point.
Am i the only one who doesn't give a fuck who has an animal theme and who doesn't? Buggy could've been symbolized by a dragon and he still would've been the same weak clown he was in east blue. if Blackbeard was a Jiggypuff he still would've been a BAMF.
Damn it, Drazgoon! Its very rude of you to remind awoman of her age! :ninja:

As for the first one quoted… well its bad when I am able to guess what you were going to ask ...
As for Whitebeard's mustache... Yes, its how he's able to take it off and play frisbee with his dog Stefan. He was to be able to keep the upper lip hairs in one piece for the pooch. ... with that idea I think I know now was one piece is.... :ninja:

Problem is that when he woke up he couldn't find it to re-attach the 'stache so had to regrow it. Thats when Shanks told him that on a dare, he put the 'stache in the treasue they hid. Laughing, Roger now calls the treasure One Piece after the 'stache [/HIDE] [/HIDE]

I suggested something similar in the spoilers but I didnt put it so eloquently or look up those pages. I also thought it may be a short area, didn't expand it to connecting various islands. You have presented it as well thougth out, great job 
EDIT - just read Firefist stating the translators saying its a metaphor… oh well
what if Doflamingo was sweating not because he's afraid that Kaidou will kill him but because his "plan" is not complete yet.. a plan to use Kaidou to mass up an army of zoan smiles. what if Doflamingo actually can control any smileys users. that is why momonosuke saw dofla in his mind when his hungry.

I love your wacky theory. I'd like for Vegapunk to expand upon it which would do two things: 1) tell us how an inanimate object can be fed Devil Fruits, 2) foreshadow Kaidou's monstrous form in some really foreboding silhouette during the explanation. And of course I'd like for Kaidou's parts to have eaten certain ones even super-genius Vegapunk didn't know about. I think Vegapunk is due to appear anyway.
Wonder how the 'not human' theme is going to come into play? Merry accumulating damage was foreshadowed through the series rather benignly, even comically, but had a huge impact. You're right, that has been getting mentioned a lot lately.
An interesting point about how Dofla treats his subordinates, so far we've seen different sort of treatment: the typical "ur just a tool" (Bellamy, and Disco); and the genuine concern type (Vergo, Monet, Buffalo, Baby 5).
Although it seems contradictory, I think it kinda fits in with the mafia family type of behavior. Bellamy & Disco are just small pawns so he doesn't care what happens with them, and the others were those who were directly connected to him (in his "family" circle, so to speak).
So if anything, it makes him more interesting since we don't get to see much of that kind of villain in OP.
I am not postive but I am pretty sure Momo saw a hallucination because he was starving. I don't think it was a side effect of the artifical decil fruit. Also the reason Momo was fainting and why he looked really frail was because he was starving. I think he we t 10 days without eating, maybe???? I could be wrong.
momo hallucinated abt Doflamingo, yes he is hungry but hallucinating abt Doflamingo is too much of a coincidence. 1 possibility is he saw Doflamingo in Wano (may have to do something w/ him and his dad) and 2: Smile side-effects.

I seriously doubt and dislike this. If this was true, it would greatly cheapen Teach's uniqueness in having two DFs. It's far more likely that he's either a Lion who ate the Hito Hito no Mi: Model Kyojin (Giant) (The lion is said to be King of the Beasts, or the King of 100 Beasts), or any number of animals that ate the Mythical Zoan: Chimera Model.
Re-reading the chapter. Awesome flashbacks in-between. Made the scenes (children-G5-SHs) more powerful. You (or I) can still feel something (that dramatic feeling) even if the chapter was read 3 or 4 times.
edit: Doflamingo's character continues to be awesome. Asked where Baby5 and Buffalo's bodies FIRST before talking about the deal (or asking where Ceasar is).
CCC gave a proper explanation, I quoted it and told him to read, but he chose to ignore and still calls it a "mistake". Some people tend to ignore any facts put in-front of them and just believe they are right ^^
No, he changed to claiming "admirals" as a general group of ranks instead, which isn't what CCC explained.
But he's still wrong.
See, Japanese military rankings are separated into largely three ranks per class, each represented by small, medium, and large.
And the general "admiral classes" is the 将官 (shokan - a subset of shoguns).
Adding "small, medium or large" to this represents each class.
For example, 少将 which would be basically "small/lesser admiral/shougun" is the Rear Admiral, while 中将 "medium admiral/shougun" is the Vice Admiral.
大将 "grand admiral/shougun" is the Admiral, the highest ranking of the shokan/admiral class.
Law specifically said this grand admiral class, in plural. Unlike English, plural is represented by adding a whole another word, instead of a simple letter.
In other words, if Law had said the "shokans will be after him", he woud have a case. That would mean the general admral classes as a whole.
But Law did not. He specifically said THE Admiral class, the grand admiral 大将 as a plural. In which case, it cannot represent the general admiral classifications as a whole. That is an English language issue brought on by the fact it uses the word "admiral" for both a single class AND representation of a whole class. It has no bearings on the Japanese case.
There. That is a through explanation of Admiral/admiral class issue.
what if Doflamingo was sweating not because he's afraid that Kaidou will kill him but because his "plan" is not complete yet.. a plan to use Kaidou to mass up an army of zoan smiles. what if Doflamingo actually can control any smileys users. that is why momonosuke saw dofla in his mind when his hungry.
Because we are so soaked with Luffy's idea of a Pirate, many seem to forget that he's one of the ODD BUNCH OF PIRATES.
Not because Whitebeard, Roger, or Shanks have some sort of moral code they stick to, does not mean that the GREAT PIRATE AGE is dominated by these types of Pirates.
The fact remains that Pirates pillage and murder, that's why the Government started to cracking them down on the first place.
So in the current Yonkou, Shanks is the odd one out.
Blackbeard = wants more power, hunts strong DF users
Big Mam = wants sweets, else you're fucked
Kaidou = wants more power, empowers his whole crew with artificial DF
Maybe because a previous Yonkou died, you think they are Admiral level or something, but not even the Marines dare step inside their territories. If Ace wasn't captured and set as a bait for luring WB inside Marines HQ, WB would have died of old age.
Now could Doflamingo's strength even compare to an Admiral? I dunno. But it's not really the strength of the Yonkou that makes them Pirates scary, it's that they don't play by the rules.
If you're fucked, you're fucked hard.
Dumb fucks who insist on Kizaru being the only admiral make me mad enough to post after three years.

Thank you so much for just detailing this out! Reading the ridiculous arguments sure gets tiresome… I know that the response to this will probably be "Oda has made mistakes before, (insert the same example over and over again)," but hopefully this will clarify things substantially, to the point of accepting it wasn't a mistake... Also the amount of mistakes Oda makes is far less than the logical and creative connections he does make.
Dumb fucks who insist on Kizaru being the only admiral make me mad enough to post after three years.

It seems much more unlikely now, but there are no obvious candidates, and Jinbē didn't mention them at all.

Am i the only one who thinks that giving 30% success in Laws plan to take down a Yonkou is huge? A realistic number would have been 5%(i am being generous) or less its Yonkou we are taking about. I am really confused about this part.

He obviosly has some form of plan but at the timehe hadn't seen the full extent of the Strawhats power (POST TIMESKIP he'd seen barely anything) so he may have been underestimating them at first. Also depends on if they co-operate right and if Doflamingo doesn't come and pwn him.
Silly Law for assuming Luffy even understands the concept of percentages.
Even if he did, at 30%, he'd go "cool! So pretty much the same as when I took down Crocodude."
(he did lose to Croc twice before third-time's-the-charming him.)

Why?
It seems much more unlikely now, but there are no obvious candidates, and Jinbē didn't mention them at all.
it seems unlikely from the beginning. marines needs more than one admiral for the whole new world. it would be dumb and not logical to have only 1 admiral. if a problem arises in Shabondy and somewhere in the new world at the same time, and needs an admiral-kind of attention and they only have Kizaru? they'll be fucked. pretty sure they are not dumb to not replace aokiji and akainu. luckily, people thinking here that only kizaru is the only admiral is not the head/s of the marines.
not all things need proof. sometimes it's better to think logically than having some dumb theories. btw, of course jinbe can't tell everything, that would spoil the surprise/story.
Can we all please, PLEASE ignore Foxy?
This shit was funny but it's getting old now.
Once it's confirmed whether Kizaru was the only admiral or more have been taken in, one of the sides will have been proven wrong and can go cry in a corner.
Until then please stop this, you're only making it worse by continuously replying.
This is my take on the issue as well.
Unless the plan evolve around making Kaidou eat a second df (assuming he has one) 30% sounds about right . If it comes down to physical fighting Kaidou 30% is huge. ^^

I've always had the image of how cool it would be if some of Luffy's former enemies came under his wings like the way WB had, at the very end of the series, including Croc himself in a tsundere fashion. Yeah, it's more of a fangasizing than actual theorizing but it'd bring a smile on my face.
Just venting
Cover
I'm glad that the granny kicks some ass, but I can't make any sense out of it. Apparently she dislikes the soldiers, but then she supplied Caribou with one of their coats. Does that mean she hunted one of them down to get proper clothes for her patient? Awesome.Chapter
Right, confirmation that Kaido is next on the list. The strongest creature in the world, huh? Means he is no transformed human (zoan), but indeed an animal, probably like Bepo and Pecoms. His silhouette looks definitely human, but it wouldn't be the first time Oda decided to troll us. Anyway, now that he is revealed to be the next target the hyping can begin. 30% chance to take him down with the combined efforts of the Heart Pirates and the Straw Hats. Of course Luffy's plotarmor will fill the remaining 70%, but it should still give us a rough idea how dangerous Kaido and his crew is.
Back to the present, with a quick reminder how Smoker is only alive due to Law's mercy (as if last chapter wasn't enough). It still saddens me that he got reduced to hugging floors, but maybe this opens up a new development for his character. Now that he basically allied himself with pirates I wonder what would happen to him if Akainu finds out about it. I mean, the whole lab was under surveillance and Team Counter Hazard's actions were broadcasted, it wouldn't surprise me if some of it reached the government. "Don't get too close with the pirates" suddenly has a deeper meaning if we take Akainu's personality into consideration. From being unprofessional to downright risking your life.
The G-5 are simply hilarious. The whole scene was basically Sanji leaving Baratie 2.0, but I loved every bit of it. The little flashbacks here and there were well placed and Tashigi crying wasn't as embarassing as 2 years ago. Luffy reminds them that they will be enemies if they meet again, but who is buying that?
Now to my favorite part of the chapter: Doflamingo's balls on a silver platter. At this point I don't care about Law overshadowing the Straw Hats anymore, the last pages were just gold. The Den Den Mushi's expressions cracked me up to no end, and Doflamingo's reaction to the possibility of facing the Admirals or Kaido should disperse the ridiculous amount of hype he accumulated over the years. One overrated Shichibukai down, one to go… Whatever, I'm not sure how Doflamingo leaving the Shichibukai helps Law in any way, but it's probably just to show how powerful Kaido is anyway - because this basically boils down to: "who do you fear more, the government or one of the Yonkou?". He will resign and show us that running from the Admirals is the safer bet than hiding from a Yonkou.
Thanks as usual!
As I see it, Doflamingo's decision is not about business, but about how to survive and how to preserve his freedom. You can restart your business, but you can restart nothing if you are dead. So the question for him is: "what way means to me better chances to keep alive and in the end keep working on my wishes?" Now, on my imaginary ranking of powers, Kaido was much more dangerous than any admiral. But, of course, if Akainu is sitted in from of me, and Kaido is 100 milles away, Akainu could be the most dangerous rival I could hve in a situation like that. So, it's not a thing that depens solely on the level of power of his potential rivals, but aslo on many other factors, like position, possibility of reason, etc… So, now I think it's completely imposible to know what will he do.
Now, does the 30% datum refers to the existing chances that Dofla resign his title. We coulnd't know. It is also possible that Law's plan has more stages than 2. And that percentage could refer to this and the other stages, Maybe, if Law would talk now about it, once the first stage succed, that chances has increase. Anyhow, if Law's plan is a good plan, he would have to calculate what to do, even if Doflamingo doesn't quit.
Another thing to consider. Vergo said Law ignores important thinkgs of Doflamingo's past, and also that those things will make Law to fail. I have thrown a long shot theory about a hypothetical old master which could be one member of te Gorosei. Be that right or not, this seems to be a good moment to contact all the allies Doflamingo has. So if there is an old master, his father in terms of the maffia business, he could call him now.
Is Doflamingo alone? or is he part of a bigger organization in which he is not the big boss (no matter if the organization has the plan to make of Doflamingo the king of pirates)? (Remember that he was instructed to murder Moria.) If that is the case, how much did Law know about it when he conceived his plan for the fist time?
At this point the story has become an authentic and really intense thriller. Many pieces of this fascinating puzzle have to match here. And Luffy will have to solve all the problems derived from the whole situation.
It sure as heck sounds like an actual concept and not a metaphor.
As a metaphor it's out of place, and besides, it's not even an existing metaphor and too specific to his physical situation.
alright.thanks for clearing that up.i was asking because some people were saying it's some kind of metaphor,where "sky road"refers to donflamingo's link to the big leagues,a.k.a S.A.D.
I think Law is betting on DD keeping his title and clashing with Kaidou, That's why he told Somker to not disclose anything about him and Joker to the Govt. I can't see any other reason for him to cover up for DD other than that.
Am I the only one who think this is "sky road"?
Since this is being mentioned on every page until now, nope.
**Here's an idea: Kaido has a Mythical Zoan fruit, model: Typhon.
For those who don't know what/who Typhon is, it's a creature called the "Father of all Monsters" in Greek Mythology.**

You do realize that this is only because Oda wrote it so, right? He could have just, simply, NOT made Law have an all-overshadowing connection to Doflamingo. Let the Straw Hats stumble across his dastardly deeds, forge a relationship of their own. As is, Doflamingo, one of the major antagonists of the story, has been handed off to be Laws' to defeat. Not Luffys.
Vergo went all-out super body haki mode when he charged at Law. He was more serious than he'd ever been at Punk Hazard. Law took on that Full Power, and sliced through it liked butter.
In no way, shape or form was Vergos defeat not a big fat line under "Look much stronger Law is than him, look at how awesome he is!"And thus, Laws humbling moment at Vergos hands, dissipates in the light of "He was handicapped. Otherwise, he'd mop the floor with Vergo."
That makes it sooo much better.
Hey Daz, I thought you were against Law?? :ninja:
And oh yeah, are you the same Daz from Mangashare forums?
beware
@The:
Here's an idea: Kaido has a Mythical Zoan fruit, model: Typhon.For those who don't know what/who Typhon is, it's a creature called the "Father of all Monsters" in Greek Mythology. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TyphoeusLooks kinda-sorta like the creature below.[qimg]http://img2.etsystatic.com/008/0/6366537/il_fullxfull.373931758_6qn5.jpg[/qimg]A more…anime/manga rendition of Typhon.[qimg]https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/550029_325274020917789_882504026_n.jpg[/qimg]
I don't know, I can't see this happening. Oda uses more well known figures for Mythical Zoans, such as Buddhas, Phoenix's, and Dragons. How would this classify? Would it be a Hito-Hito/Human-Human Model?

Yeah. It'd be a Hito Hito for sure.
Even though he's a monster–a creature--he's mostly humanoid. He's also a pretty well known mythological figure, given the fact in mythology he gave birth (well...his wife) to famous beasts like: Cerberus, the Sphinx, the Chimera, the Hydra etc. etc. And he's also the "strongest creature to have ever existed".
forcing kaidou to eat a 2nd DF (if he already ate one) is a good idea. i dont think i like the idea of law/luffy actually defeat kaidou in a pure raw battle, even if kaidou is gang banged by law/luffy/kid/apoo/hawkin/jinbe. it will disrupt the power balance (all you need is a small group of pirate to defeat a yonkou). so defeating kaidou without relying in raw strength is a good idea. they may still have to fight him, but they should have a plan to somehow weaken or even defeat kaidou with something else.
- Could Whitebeard use Hardening on his mustache?
According to my latest research named "Moustaches and haki: Is the a connection?" yes, in fact, he can.
@RobbyBevard:
I just want to know more about the smiley banana man next to Smoker on the bottom of page 4 (of chapter 697)

He's no awesome octopus, but. His expression haunts me.
He's like the horse from AT.
I don't understand Law's way of thinking. There are two options:
A - Law wants DD not to give up his status and end up fighting Kaido.
If that was the case he would have simply kept CC and made no effort to contact Doflamingo. This way he's actually giving him a choice, but that's counterproductive if he just wanted him to fight Kaido; after all DD could choose to give up the title and flee, which anyway is the most logical solution: if he chose to stay a Shichibukai he would have to say goodbye to SAD and to confront the strongest creature of the world. So He'd be double screwed.
B - Law wants DD to give up his status and end up fighting the Admirals.
He made such an effort to capture CC and to stop the SAD production… and all that just so that DD stops being a Shichibukai? That's ridiculous, that way he'd have to give CC back (unless he's lying, which could very well be), the SAD would keep being produced and the alliance would have no advantage over Kaido whatsoever.
So why is Law doing this at all??? The best course of action would've been to just keep CC, hoping to never cross paths with DD. Also the lying stuff doesn't really seem to fit well with Law, and especially with Luffy and Co., so after all it seems just a dumb move alltogether...
It seems as if there must be something to gain for the alliance if DD leaves the WG, yet we see no benefits at all. There must be more than meets the eye...
Prepare! The new age is coming!
