Rereading Alabasta has made me pumped for the Reverie.
I wonder if Oda is going to jump from the Strawhats and show it to us through Vivi's eyes.
Or somehow (and for some reason) sneak Luffy in with Vivi's help.
I'm positive that Vivi will have some sort of outburst because Luffy punching a CD won't go unnoticed at Reverie.
Will someone tell me how to make a signature already? UGH!
Why would Luffy be at the Reviere?
I'm positive that Vivi will have some sort of outburst because Luffy punching a CD won't go unnoticed at Reverie.
Vivi doesn't do things like that though. She's not going to lose her head and get in serious shit in the middle of a meeting like that.
That point has been kind of endlessly emphasized about her. Heck she ALREADY kept her head at a reverie when Wapol smacked her as a kid.
Franky was great this chapter and I laughed out loud when I saw Usopp's face in the last panel. The action is just getting started! 
I don't know if it makes sense for any of the SHs to be at Reverie… if only because that would mean going backwards (physically... in the New World). And a rescue arc to save someone who for some reason was taken to Mariejoia would feel pretty contrived at this point. But I can totally picture a few half-chapters worth of cutaways from the current action to show what's going on there, like the way we saw Sengoku's council (where Lafitte showed up) or other Marine conferences over the years. Maybe there'll even be a broadcast to the world (a la Marineford), so that the protagonists can react.
It's too juicy an event to not show at all (or just reference with a newspaper scene), though. We know how Oda loves bringing back old faces, and there are bound to be a bunch there, making world-shaking policy decisions.
Why would Luffy be at the Reviere?
Thus the "for some reason". Oda might concoct some reason Luffy might want to sneak into Mariejois. Before the war we didn't see any reason Luffy might sneak into Impel Down or Marineford for isntance.
I'm not saying it's gonna happened of course. But Oda's obviously setting the Reverie up as a big event, and it wouldn't be like him to show something like that (if longer than a few pages) without the main cast being part of it in some way. Though hey, maybe he'll break that pattern.
For now we don't know. The information we have his, that the flower field is where the dwarves captain and his squad are right now, where the Toy soldier is guiding Franky to and the Toy House is the Smile Factory. One can guess they are both in the same location, but never be sure, just wait for Oda to confirm.
You know what we haven't gotten this entire arc? A proper geographical introduction of Dressrosa. There seems to be multiple cities on the island but the kingdom looks like its definitely smaller than Alabasta most definitely.
So…will Doflamingo be fighting Fuji now too? Considering Fuji suspects(more like flat out knows) now that he's Joker?
Not much I say about this chapter that hasn't already been said numerous times already but;
1.)lol at Fujitora not giving a damn if Doflamingo got caught in his cross fire, dude totaly deserved that silver metal he got in the new character tournament
2.) I was not expecting to give a shit about about what happens to Violet, I was kinda expecting her to be just another quirky henchman like like the rest of Dons crew. Now I don't know if she legitimatly has a grudge against Don, or if she's still trying to get some information from Sanji.
Rebecca has something against Doflamingo, Violet has something against Doflamingo, Kinemon has something against Doflamingo. It's not hard to believe that Law will get injured and you know how Luffy can be when his nakama get injured. I'm 200% sure and half of my leg that Luffy will fight Doflamingo. I feel like a sort of Goku-Vegeta-Frieza-esque scene will come along where Luffy is fighting DD and Law is on the floor, near dead and is telling Luffy about DD's past.
Yes unfortunately I am getting a little tired of "save nakama/new friend that is always the one that needs help and the first that Luffy meets when they go to the new island, so he saves them routine". I think that's why I like Luffy taking down the Yonko, they are in front of his path and he will take them down while this could be another reused plotline which tends to happen every time. It's far more interesting for the other two characters to take him down, especially when Oda does create so many unique characters. I never even noticed until someone mentioned, but Luffy really is not a good protagonist for the simple fact that he doesn't save the day because it's the right thing but every single time, it just happens that either a nakama is kidnapped, or somehow, every time the first friend he makes in the island turns out to be pivotal to them needing his help, and then him helping them. Now that it's gotten into my head, every time this happens, my only thought is oh, here we go again. :getlost:
I can't really get the Vegeta feeling since this happens every time so instead of thinking DBZ, to me it's the same thing again… Still to this day the biggest fault of Dragon Ball Z
! is Vegeta not killing Buu when he self destructed. That would have been one of the most epic moments in anime history.
I too also think the most predictable scenario is Rebecca has some sad backstory, Luffy becomes bffs with her and that is what makes him hate Doflamingo, DD screws Law up and potentially kidnapps him (becuase using just one of the only 2 storylines is not enough), and then Luffy kicks his ass. This is the most likely scenario. There is the one where due to Rebecca Luffy takes him down or simply Law just gets beaten to a pulp instead. I guess at this point is that I want a different plot line by now, the Yonko reasoning to me for the simple fact that it's not one of the 2 used storylines makes it incredibly interesing. This arc so far also kicks too much ass, so I really want it to play differently.
By that logic, Usopp should have defeated Kuro, Nami should have defeated Arlong, Chopper should have defeated Wapol, Vivi should have defeated Crocodile, Wiper should have defeated Enel, Brook should have defeated Ryuma, Jinbe should have defeated Hody. And so on and so on.
Luffy is THE savior. There is no way he's not defeating Doflamingo.
Ohh by the logic of me having a preference, you got that out of it? Please explain that one. All those characters bar Wiper and Jinbei were no where near strong enough to beat the opposition, and Wiper beating Enel would have been epic.
I know Luffy is the saviour, but apparently you can't get that I would prefer someone else to take down Doflamingo.
Thus the "for some reason". Oda might concoct some reason Luffy might want to sneak into Mariejois. Before the war we didn't see any reason Luffy might sneak into Impel Down or Marineford for instance.
It's a better opportunity for Oda to develop the world away from the crew though, so probably better Luffy isn't involved. Plus, to be at Reverie he'd have to backtrack quite a bit and he's got a schedule ahead of him already. Everything that's about to go down will either impact the ongoing Reverie or affect what's discussed after the events transpire, and at either of those points Luffy would be far away. To your last point, it's been a long time, but Whitebeard and Shanks, Blackbeard and Ace, the meeting of Warlords, and the aftermath of the war all had chapters without the crew touching it in any way. Or at least large portions of chapters. Correct me if I'm wrong, I can't check at the moment.
- I wonder if Usopp lie about haki is a forshadowing once again. That would go in the same sense of the Shanks' scene.
Very good observation. If Usopp ever gets Haki of that level… Wow, I just can't imagine.
Honestly, I expect all the Straw Hats to have Haki by the time the series ends.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
I for one have been waiting to see Luffy fight Doflamingo for a LONG time now, so I'm all for him meeting and facing against Luffy.

I agree, and think it's ideal. I'm just kind of going off the way Oda has handled this sort of thing before.
No way Usopp is getting the knock-outy Supreme Haki, no matter how good of an accidental fortune teller he is. One of the other two isn't out of the question; Observation would be mighty useful to a sniper, after all.
Like the Avatar? / Like the Miis?

Ussop should get haki by the end of series atleast one cause i imagine his pop's in shanks crew must be pew pewing with haki imbued bullets. Sogeking vs Van Auger
I'm sorry, but I'm a bit lost. Where has all this talk about a "Reverie" come from? I do remember the meeting of the World's Leaders from the flashback on Drum, but when has this come up recently?
Franky is bad!! Eat and drink w/o paying… put on tab lol
We alwyas forget that they are pirates afterall.
Desa I agree about the cover story its the most tedious cover story ever, the good thing is that it will probably actually be important to the story but its dragging like hell.
I'm sorry, but I'm a bit lost. Where has all this talk about a "Reverie" come from? I do remember the meeting of the World's Leaders from the flashback on Drum, but when has this come up recently?
The Reverie is the meeting of kings who rule countries under the WG.
The recent cover story feature showing what people around the world we met before have been doing since the timeskip.
The ones concerning Vivi.
This one really throws it out there, literal newspaper.

And here we have Cobra bedridden, showing clear old age. Basically all but making it obvious that Oda is setting it up so that Vivi will represent the Alabasta crown at Mariejois.
http://eatmanga.com/Manga-Scan/One-Piece/One-Piece-641
Plus it being a big event that's been referenced a bunch since as far back as Vol. 16. Not just then either, it was mentioned a ton in the Fishman Island arc. I think Prince Fukaboshi even mentioned this year's reverie too.
It's time we saw one, the oppertunities for coolness and serious information are through the roof. Vivi is the closest thing to main cast…who isn't main cast as well. And to focus on her in some majorly relevant context? C'mon son. Oda's doing it.

In addition, the flashback in Fishman Island made mention of how often they happen, which tells us one is happening this year. Lastly, and most importantly, Hody's plans were to take over Fishman Island and then go to Reverie as the representative and kill everyone.

Yeah, I just wanted to see your reason as to why but you're right Oda setting up the Reviere as one of the biggest event that are about to happen in this year (OP time) in which Fishman Island will be present at it and might have Shirahoshi as a representative along side Neptune of course could lead to something bigger in an instant

The representative would most likely be Fukaboshi. He's the one who said in the flashback (10 years ago) that he would make his mother's dream come true and that they'd have a chance at Reverie in two, six, and/or ten years. The present timeline is the ten year mark, obviously.

Well it could be him but I think according to the situation involving Shirahoshi for the past 10 years, she can become a key to their acceptance as a worthy kingdom of living above the sea, the WG can very well see the effort that Shirahoshi has made in order to be present at such an event after Jimbi ditch them two years ago
It's just that Shirahoshi is a 16 year old gigantic princess with no reason to be there. It's the Council of Kings, and with King Neptune being both old and injured, it makes sense Fukaboshi would be the representative. Plus, as I said, he's the one who inherited his mother's dream. Neptune doesn't really care that much, but obviously respects his wife's dream.
we will probably see some scenes of the reverie and if something big happens we will likely see it.
Great chapter! We finally got to see what's Fujitora's power although it's still vague how strong that power is. Oh, and are those net-like thing used by Dofla the first time we actually saw his power in clear solid form? Anyways. Fujitora is really strong and then there's the other new Admiral "Green Bull" who is said to be the same level of power as Fujitora.
Is it just me who finds Caesar so cute when he was saying "Jo..Jokerrrrrrrrrrr!"? HAHAHA. He's so adorable.
I like how Law declared that there are no ranks between him and Luffy. They are allied. Now, how will Law escape that is what concerns me.
Sanji's "I feel in love." and Franky's "Oh, that's good." HAHAHAHA. Franky's all supportive. And I really hope that Violet joins them. She'll get killed by Dofla one way or another. Why not join the StrawHats instead?
And Usopp's lies. Gosh, his face at the end.
Can't wait for the next chapter! I bet we'll be seeing Luffy's.. I mean Lucy's fight next. Zoro's probably lost somewhere..
Thank you for the links!

Wasn't Vivi at the Reverie when she was much younger?
Wasn't Vivi at the Reverie when she was much younger?
Travelling with her father, yes, and waiting in the hallway.
Ahhh…okay. I never caught the fact that it was called a Reverie. So those cover stories went right over my head.
I loved the chapter. Obviously… About Fuji's fruit, if its anything other than a gravity paramecia then Oda's gonna have some splanin' to do (an "I Love Lucy" reference for all those who didn't get the whole Lucy-Ricky thing durring the colosseum chapters). There is almost no way it's a meteorite fruit since the first people we saw Fuji interact with weren't hit by a meteor and if its a space fruit, he really isn't creating or destroying space and gravity and space aren't inherently related anyway. ugh a rant not aimed at anyone in particular.

I get your point in the whole age/size thing and thinking about it you're probably right since she going above sea level now will make the promise between the SHs and her pointless
Maybe ussop gets king haki in the end , anyways its useless
About the Reverie…
Now that FI is under Luffy, what will happen there? I mean, do countries under Yonkou or other pirates have the right to participate? FI was under WB and BM, though.
I'd say we won't see the Reverie before Wano, which I hope will become Luffy's territory. One of the main topics in it will be how countries are taken over by pirates and/or Revolutionary armies.

Fishman Island isn't Luffy's territory yet. Anyway, the purpose of the links Zephos posted on the other page was to show Vivi and her guard preparing for something (getting sized for clothes, etc), suggesting an important event was coming up. Fishman Island also stressed its importance, so we have every reason to believe it is forthcoming. Furthermore, it'd make sense for the story to schedule a gathering of important people to take place after a major event– take your pick, events with Doflamingo or the "tea party" with Big Mom.

I'm not sure why you think it won't happen until or after Wano, but if your reasoning is the issue of territories (which is old news and was discussed two reveries back), then keep in mind two other items are already in queue for discussion: Big Mom/Doflamingo/Alliances, and Fishman Island moving to the surface.
About the Reverie…one StrawHat will be surely at the Reverie, and is Vivi.
If someone else from the Crew shows up at the Reverie it's because imho, it's highly likely that at least someone from BlackBeard's crew will try to be at the Reverie.
Talking about people missing from a long time that might make an unexpected return soon-ish I call Johnny and Yosaku and Gin that imho could be the seventh Shichibukai (IF Oda goes for a returning character instead of a new one).
There is no way Dofla and Law should stand a chance against a Admiral and that's if they were working together. Also I can't see how law can stall for enough time for the SH crew to do serious damage to Dofla's factory operation. I have no idea how that encounter is going to end. so exciting.

Not this again. Despite how close he was to joining and all, she isn't a Straw Hat. She is a very important ally and a close friend, though

They probably don't, but they aren't small fry either. This is not pre-time skip, where the Straw Hats and the Supernovas weren't able to even touch the admirals. Fuji must be very cautious and don't let his guard down. Look at the difference in power between Luffy and Caesar, yet the later was able of knocking out Luffy.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Vivi could have taken Crocodile easily. Spray him with perfume to solidify him, then work her hypno dance on him. Vivi for Shicibukai.
LOL, just LOL. I've recently watched that episode, hylarious. I had forgotten that amazing combo.
I feel like most people are missing some of the main things pointed out about Fujitora and the other new admiral Ryokugyuu and that is they are new to the navy which is why we haven't seen them before. DD calls both of them formidable, two venerable beasts, respect from a very powerful shichibukai. Fujitora even states he is still new to the marine ways and DD says that he was given the rank of Admiral during the Global Military Enlistment.
This means that after the loss of 2 admiral positions there was some sort of enlistment where 2 already incredibly powerful men (admiral strength) were conscripted into the Navy. Fujitora then goes on to say he is testing his new power, or his devil fruit as he summons the meteor. Akainu must have given him a devil fruit after forcing him to accept the title of Admiral in order to fully realize his power as a head of the Navy. After Law and DD split the meteor and send it flying he shows he also possesses enough power to deflect it and protect himself from it so he is clearly on their level.
Just because you're an incredibly powerful person didn't mean you had to be a pirate or part of the navy. As Fujitora's personality shows, he probably does not approve of fighting for any one side as he essentially attacks DD despite the fact that he shouldn't which DD points by saying Akainu hasn't trained him about procedure properly. I don't think Fujitora is the kind of man who wanted to join the Navy because his justice does not approve of the evil within it like not being able to attack DD despite his actions as Joker. I also think he recognized Luffy when they met and judged him as a good man so he did not reveal his identity as an admiral to Luffy or anyone else so he wouldn't have to capture or kill him.
My guess is zorro & law vs fuji & dofa

Well, all this was pretty much discussed in the spoiler thread, and in this one too, I think. And he doesn't say "new", but that is possible. Can't wait to know who he was before the conscription….
A Bounty Hunter?
Part of the military forces/police from a certain country?
A mercenary?
Not this again. Despite how close he was to joining and all, she isn't a Straw Hat. She is a very important ally and a close friend, though
She's a nakama and that's a fact.
She's not on the ship, it's another fact.
She's a StrawHat at heart.
Calling her not a StrawHat is objective (as it is calling her a nakama)
My guess is zorro & law vs fuji & dofa
That looks like a desire more than a guess. Mine too. At least Zoro vs Fuji OR Doffy

(I hope) zoro will help his ally out and show us his real strenght - open his (mi)hawk-eye!
for Reverie…
maybe, it's time for another "Monkey D." to take the spotlight..
we've waited so long for the Revolutionary to get some real action,
not a fight scene, I mean, their actual movement against the WG, not just some paperwork behind the desk,
maybe we will get some info about their top-seats,
really hoping that the upcoming Reverie, one way or another will get some involvement from the Revolutionary
sorry for the English
Talking about people missing from a long time that might make an unexpected return soon-ish I call Johnny and Yosaku and Gin that imho could be the seventh Shichibukai (IF Oda goes for a returning character instead of a new one).
Johnny and Yosaku already got a job in nami's island for the past 2 years… as a fisherman?
I don't see the SH attending The Reverie unless it just so happens to be going on while they arrive on a island or they hear that it's going to happen on a nearby island. The crew will probably decide to go to see Vivi since she'll likely attend it.
Most likely though, it'll be shown during the around the world events that Oda usually does after an arc ends.
The Strawhats have no business at the Reverie; they're pirates who could care less about world politics. I'd rather not back track all the way to the Red Line, either. Besides, it would be suicide try and attend anyway, lol.

Luffy won't go, but Straw Hat pirate crew member Vivi "The royal hypno-dancer" will.
