Okay guys, place your bets.
A huge top hat? A huge head? A huge neck?
I bet he'll have a huge head, like the wisdom god of the seven lucky gods.

Quite suitable for an old 'geezer', no?

If you can use Haki to harden your body, what was Tekkai good for again?
Yes, when Colt M1911 came out, they stopped making and using all other handguns.
Oh wait, they didn't.
I really-really enjoyed this chapter. Sanji is cool, he is back in form and hopefully he will be able to stop CC's plan with the locked rooms.
Momonosuke is interesting, I wonder how will he get along with Luffy. The "What are you?" questions were funny, since both of them aren't really normal.
I was hoping for a Vergo-Smoker fighting scene and there it was. And it was good. I'm so glad. ^^
This post.
My head.
It hurts.
Don't think too much.
Take some rest.
You'll be okay.

Yep, I also think the silhouette is like a sennin with long forehead.
Which reminds of Strawberry.

It's a standard asian dragon design.

Congratulations~
@zachri
'sup girl
And yes, I called it as early as spoiler time of last chapter. :)
He's yet to fly though.
can't stay up any longer, I'm about to faint
peace out
Vergo confirmed to be:

I also thought that the very moment it happened :p
The blackenin' …
Is happenin'
Finally the haki / vulcanization / black bamboo discussion is over. Limbs/weapons turning black is just plain and simple hardening.
Really like Momonosuke, I wonder what color he has, green would be too standard for Oda. I reallllly wanna see him fly and squirm through the air like Shenlong. I hope Kinemon will ride him like a surfboard later on and uses his foxfire tech from the sky.
I think Kinemons DF will come in handy to protect everybody from the gas later on.
excuse me,is Caesar trying to kill Vergo and Monet as well?
Momonodragon has no wing, can he fly? He if can, it's gotta be DF. And even though I don't wanna say this, it could be a mythical zoan.
Eastern dragons do not have wings but can fly anyway.
he doesn't care once his experiment is a success
@Gia:

That's what I'm saying.
The more I think about it, the more this makes sense.
Opening to Nippon Mukashi Banashi, a long running children show in Japan about old folklores.

The story this refers to is Tatsunoko Taro. (Taro, Son of a Dragon)
About tale of Taro, in search of his mother who was turned into a dragon.
What with Luffy wearing red jacket and nothing underneath, resembling Taro from the opening animation…
Him being the "Son of Dragon", Momonosuke is someone who turned into a Dragon..
There's so much reference parallels here lol.
Ahah! Yes! Lol, Oda will most likely make a reference to this.
Good chapter this week.
Smoker is gonna go HAM lol. Vergo can shot explosive darts from his bamboo?! Hmmm…I like it.
Sanji probably has a plan to slow down the gas.
CC is a lying, selfish scumbag...and I LOVE IT!
What is Shenron doing in One Piece?
So Vegapunk has to have some kind of powers right?
I mean, he was inside the laboratory when the explosion happened, and except for Ceasar who is a gas logia user everybody on the island died or was at the very least crippled.
Clearly he didn't die because Vegapunk was the one who turned Kuma into a robot 2 years ago.
Momonodragon has no wing, can he fly? He if can, it's gotta be DF. And even though I don't wanna say this, it could be a mythical zoan.
There's no way it's a DF. Momonosuke has likely been turned into a dragon the same way that both of Vegapunk's dragons shown earlier this arc were, via some scientific method.
That's what I'm saying.
Chickens have wings but it doesn't make them fly around laying eggs in our heads.
Anyone noticed in the end in the Zoro+Nami+Chopper pannel snow coming towards them?Monet is attacking them I guess..

I'd like it to be an CC's doing too. But if he flies, Oda better gives us a good explanation of how could a creature without wings can fly. Or else, regretfully a mythical zoan DF is the only explanation.

Yes, but do you really think I imply that?
I can see her using a blizzard to reduce their visibility and slow them down. I'm pretty sure she wouldn't be able to fight all three of them at once and she's been shown to have a high fighting IQ.
Yes, but do you really think I imply that?
I'm just goofying around :ninja:
Also, if you watched anything that had an oriental dragon, you would know they "do" fly anyway.

Literally every eastern/oriental dragon can fly without wings. This is One Piece, we don't need to get a logical explanation for it…

I do know about oriental dragons, that they don't exist in real world. In other word, mythical. That's what I was saying.

Yes, but how can a creature created by a scientific method have a mythical ability? That's for Oda to give us explanation. Or else, a mythical zoan it is.
God, do I have to explain everything?
Okay guys, place your bets.
A huge top hat? A huge head? A huge neck?
Vegapunk is Sabo.
The flashback didn't bothered to me but it was a bit redundant. We already knew that Caesar is a lying bastard, that he does not care a bit about his men and that he was the one who blew the gas bomb in the first place. But we have a bit more background about Vegapunk (he is not a heartless researcher, something that was not so obvious before)
We've sorta known he's a "good guy" since Franky was told on Karakuri Island about how Vegapunk was using his creations to protect his people. And something about a deal he made with the WG for him to join them, which means he didn't join the WG just to be a dick to their enemies.

Hmm that's true, but I'm sure Oda will have a good enough explanation for it.
So what i think is for the samurai nation having df powers are forbidden or looked down upon.Child ate a dragon DF by accident and father ate another one to make his child feel better.They were both thrown out of their kingdom and child gets captured with the help of sleeping gas.I think father knows about the dragon DF and thats why he was angry at the dragon before.Also its possible that DF stops giantism candy from working so they separeted him from other childeren.
Great chapter.We learned a few things.Also Vergos power looks like Mr.5 Bombman.I'm looking forward for Vergo vs Luffy

Maybe he was crippled and barely managed to survive. Possibly, a few others survived sent out a distress call the marines came and took Vegapunk. They could have given him cyborg parts in order to keep him alive, who knows. Or, maybe, Vegapunk, like, Franky, was a cyborg to begin with, maybe he experimented on himself while he was a young one, we'll see.
Smoker and his haki, it's nice to see he's dishing out a beating on Vergo. It seems as if Vergo had put hardening haki in his explosive bamboo balloon like attack but it went through Smoker instead of hitting him, does this mean Smoker used haki to counter it? Oh shiiieeetttt.
That dragon looks so funny, haha, I'm sure when he gets older he will look pretty bad @$$.
I just want Zoro to cut down Monet, and say something like "your pissing us off now birdy, get lost SHISHI SONSON
.
I wonder if Zoro and Sanji can use hardening haki as well, hmm, I guess so since Luffy stated earlier with Law that they have the haki to capture CC.
Okay guys, place your bets.
I bet he'll have a huge head, like the wisdom god of the seven lucky gods.
So, we have one wacky theory and one based on japanese folklore. And both could totally happen. Guess that's why I love OP so much.
Vegapunk is Sabo.
Yeah, and that.

I place my bets on the japanese folklore, the first time I saw Vegapunk's silhouette I thought he had a beak. The folklore one has a bird.
great chapter finally we got explanation about the black hardening smoker vs vergo is one of one piece manliest fights
Wonder what Franky's up to.
Future fight predictions: Sanji vs Vergo (decisive battle) and Nami vs Monet (because Monet has a weather oriented DF, and Nami is quite strong now). Since Donflamingo said they all need to go back to Dressrosa, I've been thinking there can't be any real battles in this arc because the gas will interrupt them. But there can be build up to the next arc with the small fights we get here, and I'm expecting the SHs to lose against Donflamingo's crew once Baby 5 and Buffalo arrive. It'd be a bit like Water 7/ Enies Lobby. The only real fight I predict is Luffy vs CC… CC will be defeated in the arc but Vergo, Monet etc will get away. There'll have to be a reason for the SHs to chase them back to Dressrosa. A trip to Wano Country on the way would fit in nicely, it seems like a good time to introduce it. Ace has been there before too, wonder if that would come up. I'd expect Zoro to gain something valuable from that visit.
BTW people still think Vergo is an ability user
Vegapunk is Sabo.
Welp, we had people confirming the involvement of haki in the Smoker/Vergo fight. Sagippio talking about mythical Zoan Momonosuke and you just brought the Vegapunk = Sabo joke.
I say this discussion is wrapped up now. My checklist is full and I have Bingo. :D

I'm really torn on this… Oda just showed us Dressrosa and what I'm assuming is most of Dofla's crew in chapter 682 (including Vergo, CC and Monet), so it seems like the Straw Hats are going to Dressrosa next. But with all the little tidbits of info on Wano Country we've been getting this arc, that could be the next arc too, and on top of that Oda leaving a notebook with 'Wano Kuni' written on it on his desk at the One Piece Ten exhibition earlier this year, makes it seem like he's trying to tell us that it's next.
Confusing stuff :S
Is Smoker using Hardening on his Jutte in this page (middle panel) or is that just some weird shading?
http://i999.mangareader.net/one-piece/684/one-piece-3635225.jpg
It is probably hardening CoA
By the way, did you guys see Pandaman?
Hey… If Vergo is like Grinpatch I'm all for it. Grinpatch is my favorite Toriko character.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Vegapunk:
What a great chapter! I loved the interaction between G5 and Sanji. He's been getting some really great moments with characters outside of the crew this arc. Caesar is, as always, loltastic and makes some of the best faces ever.
I'm laying down a prediction, though, speaking of Caesar: Franky will end up thwarting his plan by using radical beam from the other side of the R-66 gate after moving Thousand Sunny around to help the strawhats get away.
Review:
@Miss:
Oh sweet Momonosuke is going to grant Luffy 1 wish!
.
Luffy`s wish. "I want to eat all the meat in the world" NIGUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!
After that day the OP world ceased to exist as we`ve known it:ninja:
Guys? Where is Franky? It's been so long since we've seen him in a chapter, and he wasn't even in the picture showing where everyone was o_O
ah, he said he had to do something for Sunny…in 677, I think.
I can't wait for him to show up and (re)join the fray...maybe have something to do with saving folks from the gas, as others have suggested, since he's the only one on the outside....
I'm so glad I've been reading Mangastream lately. That page divide MangaPanda's been doing lately is the last straw. For me. Mangastream's translation of that one mohawked Marine admitting he grew a "man-crush" on Sanji when he fought Vergo is much funnier, as was their translation of Sanji's response to Tashigi.
Don't let the world define our relationship. We pirates are free spirits open to all~!
vs
That's just something society decided on. Pirates are free to do what they want.
Seriously, MangaPanda half-asses these translations in so many ways.
Also, Momonosuke looks like he ate the Dragon-Dragon fruit: Model Shenlong (Though really Mythical devil fruit: Model Dragon). Also, a very good sign that Luffy is not going to be stuck in that basement for several chapters on end, since I'm very sure that dragon can fly.
Also, we've seem more of the chivalrous/gentlemanly side of Sanji than we've seen in quite a long time, especially since his psychological breakdown since his exile in the Kamabakka Kingdom.
I love Caesar so much, his faces are great.
Seeing how Caesar would probably have wanted Sakazuki in charge…did he do something so that Kuzan lost? :O
Also, Brownbeard is most likely headed to the "Secret Room" too, because all men seem gathered there.
