Gaaaaaaah!! I was excpecting luffy to do something crazy in this chap.
Seems block c will be as long or maybe longer than block b.
With this chap im wishing that zoro could have been in this tournament:sad:
Chapter 715: "Close Contest C-Block"
-
-
I'm still amazed by how much fun Oda seems to be having, specially compared with other mangakas.
The way he just keeps giving us Ideos, Blue Gillys, Kerrys. . .characters with a unique design, unique ability, even a hint of a quirk or personality trait, a name and/or design that's a reference to real life figures, wrestlers, actors or even other mangas/animes. . . And all of that might perfectly be just for 3-4 chapters, and be done with them.
It's like he has a source of never ending imagination, to the point that he can throw away such designs and ideas that could perfectly be secondary character material.
Hell, he seems to be having fun with freaking Gatz, what with his running gag of being completely biased.
You gotta admire the man.
(Of course, I hope some of these guys will stick a bit longer, specially the Flower 3, Blue Gilly and the Kelly bros. Ideo and Jean Ango might be a plus. And I'm still having massive hopes for Suleiman. Let him be the Blue Gilly of D block!!!).

Thats oda sensei for you
Also about sulieman…the dude looks badass. Hoping he wins block d although i really dont know about rebecca.......... -
@jabso:

Also about sulieman…the dude looks badass. Hoping he wins block d although i really dont know about rebecca..........I think D block is pretty much settled to be a Cavendish-Rebecca thing, and leaning on Cavendish. This chapter he didn't look surprised at all about Luffy's strength, and yet Rebecca is completely mind blown.
But if Suleiman can at least become the surprise badass of the Block, I'll be more than satisfied.

"Will you quit cockblocking me, Bobby?!!"
-
what was that in don hand . ability
-
I hope we will go sooner or later in a bounty hunters ark.
I think we will have 2 chapters of other stuff before going back to Block C.
Next 3 to go down will be the Funk brothers and Sai imho. -
"Will you quit cockblocking me, Bobby?!!"
…did MS seriously write that? I don't even want to check.
If so, not only is it a nauseating use of colloquial jargon, but it's an improper nauseating of colloquial jargon, because Kelly was not trying to woo anyone.
-
"Will you quit cockblocking me, Bobby?!!"
Gotta love those mangastream translations… Not.
Though he should less worried about his bro and more worried about Luffy or Chinjao COCblocking him.
-

Yeah, he was just punching the clown…unconscious.
-
HOLY SHIT!!! @_@
This chapter was freaking awesome!
I'll give my full opinion later after I read it a couple more times. :)
Oh and yes CCC, they really did write that. Hilarious! XD
-
So how long do you reckon it'll be before people start giving Ideo the deserved fan art he deserveth? Or any of the others for that matter?
-

One of the best timeskip designs and combat styles. He's Mr.5 done the right way. I'm deeply saddened that in two weeks time he'll likely be fodderized by Luffy or Chinjao.
-
I hope the Funk brothers put up a good fight. So far, their design looks quite interesting.
-
cool chapter, just created an accout to share a small theory of mine.
Blackbeard is also from the mogaro kingdom like kelly and bobby, maybe they are another race the minks, not quite sure
but it would explain an already existing theory about blackbeard being a chimäre, so he can consume, depending on the number of people in his body multiple, devil fruites -

I don't know you,
And you're new to here,
But come on here,
Join me maybe? -

Well, they already destroyed Boo, and he looked quite threatening (vice captain of Happou Navy, Haki user, New World pirate, martial arts master, etc. . .), so I'd say they already did put up a good fight.
I think that was a pretty impressive performance, power wise.
-
Great chapter!! Just wanted to say, has it already been speculated that Boo was an ex-slave?
That tattoo is a pretty clear attempt to hide the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon imho[hide]
[/hide]Bringing it to the attention of the reader here in the bottom left panel kinda confirmed my suspicionsAlso the Don vs Luffy battle isn't going to be epic!! Could someone please clear up the Happou navy rankings for me?Is Sai the leader, Boo his vice (2nd) and Don the previous leader?
-
It seemed like Sai's axe wasn't black despite using CoA. I don't see how Luffy will be able to fight Dofla this arc, it's obvious he's about to get hurt some during this fight. And whoever he fights next will obviously be strong as well. I just don't see him fighting Dofla and beating him not at full health. I also think we won't see much more than another page or 2 of the Law/Dofla/Fuji fight because Oda will reveal the extent of Dofla's powers later on.
-

You're correct, Sai is the 13th person to be the commander of the Happou Navy Boo is 2nd in command and Chinjao was the 12th (previous) commander.

waiting for Chapter Full Color
-
I know it's necessary to introduce new characters given that Luffy is in a tournament which is an all out brawl but it is a little tedious to read a chapter where most of the characters in it are likely going to become irrelevant over the next few chapters.
However the Old guy vs Luffy looks like it's going to be great

I'd like to see them knock out atleast one more contestant, preferably Jean. That probably won't happen because I think Sai will face him in an attempt to take revenge for his brother.
-
Ok, the brothers' power is interesting and Ideo's design is cool, though I don't really his explosions…
-
Nice action chapter. Ideo might be my favorite design out of block C.
Lol at Mangastream's translation: "Stop cock blocking me ,bro.!" And what are they talking about? Beef between Oda and Mashima? -

the fight won't be that great. Don chinjao will get ko in a short amount of time. He's underestimating Lucy's strength.
-

Maybe, but I still think it'll be good even if it is short
-

It's MS, just ignore it.
-
Given that Ideo has a Zoro/Law copypasta face and only his shoulders as a real disfiguring feature, I'm not surprised to see a fanbase pop up instantly. To me, he's the character I'd be most likely to confuse for someone else, he pretty much has the male equivalent of Odas female face. Not really that much of a standout.
Ehhh, he's okay I guess, especially if the Robot Destroyer angle gets amped up. As is, he just looks like the Bluegilly of block C, but of course, Bluegilly got a fanbase too, so Idunno.
Now, Cactus Hat is pretty cool on the other hand…just look at those evil little eyes. Has a personal laugh too!
-
I actually LOVED this chapter, it was so badass.
I don't even really care that not much plot wise happened, Oda's getting all DBZ with this, first a tournament, now fusion xD (of some sort).
Also Chinjao goes Super Saiyan when he uses Haki -
http://mangarule.altervista.org/blog/one-piece-ch-715-close-contest-c-block/
Here we go with the next chapter of Dragon Ball!! I hope that you like it because we will see a new technique called “Fusion” !! Wow!!
16 chars of
What?

I assume it's supposed to be a funny reference to the chapter's content. Read it and you'll see why.
-
I just imagined that cavendish will also be trying to tame the fighting lion on d block. Haha. Ideo looks great. If theres long arm and long legged tribe, so there's also protruding shoulder tribe? Hehehe

christ
that "Will you stop cockblocking me, Bobby??" is really the worst thing Mangastream has ever done
last week there was "A little birdy told me you have a hardon for that Lucy fellow"
god damn Mangastream what are you DOING -

Bluegilly's success with the fanbase had probably more to do with the fact that no one was expecting anything from the fighters that didn't get introduced during chapter 704, and yet he ended up being the guy that defeated 2 named characters and even attempted to take the King's neck. It was a surprisingly good performance from a guy that came out of nowhere. (And, ironically enough, another of the non 704 guys, Ricky, will be very relevant during the rest of the arc).
Also, he is a long leg AND a Bruce Lee homage at the same time, both in the name of his fighting style and his appearance and mannerisms, so of course he was bound to get many fans. Not just because he looked rather vanilla compared to Jeet, Abullah or Hack's "uglier" looks.
The Ideo love is maybe a bit sudden, since he just punched a ko'ed giant and that's it and his motivation is just the same as the giant he just punched, but I gotta admit his super long shoulders and his however-the-hell-he-does-that explosion powered punches look cool. That's it, he looks cool, and that might very well be enough if his role is limited to Block C action. And, again, he is a reference to a character (although if it wasn't for Aohige, I'd never catch that stuff).
Still, I'd prefer if the dark horse is, as Gatz said during the chapter, Jean Ango. His attacks don't look that deadly in comparison, but let's see what else he has in store. So far, he looks pretty smart and resourcefull, and man is he much buffed (or fatter?) that what I imagined. The guy's huge.

…..
Caribou reunites with his brother? Too easy, it's too easy.
C Block is in full swing! Appropriate, B Block had its focus and after all....
LucyLuffy is the star. So what happens?Chaos, of course! Everyone just wailing on each other. Sai, Boo, Chinjao, Ideo, Jean, the Funk Brothers (lol at them never being in a fight before), and the audience just sits back and enjoys it.
Some crazy fight panels left and right…..but it seems Jean is on to Luffy. That makes....what, the fifth person who's catching on? I predict his identity will be officially revealed either next chapter or the one after that. And that will only increase the chaos.
-
That is something I wanna know too. "Happou Navy" Commander refers to a specific pirate crew of Kanokuni? Or it means, as you say, the entire navy of that country?
If it's the second option, then, yeah, holy shit. I really hope with all we're seeing, we get to visit Kanokuni one day, even if it's a short visit.
Looks like a place we might get to see in a future coverstory.

@Monkey:

Hah, personally his shoulders remind me of Franky, which makes me think he's a cyborg of some kind.

That "readms" translation wasn't bad at all actually. Who are they, some new group?

Well, in Jango's case it makes a lot of sense. Guy's a New World bounty hunter, and he must have some sort of intel on the whereabouts of the big fish. And Luffy is a very, very big fish.
He could probably retire for the rest of his life if he catches Luffy.
@Don:

I actually liked a theory Aohige had (I don't know if serious or not-so-much); seeing that Wanokuni is One Piece's Japan, and Kanokuni is OP's China, their countries could be enemies, just like in real life (just recently there was all that conflict over a stupid microscopic island), and, with the Strawhat's assistance, there could be an arc that deals with this animosity and, of course, it all ends with both countries being all friendly.
Just like Fishman Island was Oda's way of talking about very important real life issues (and it threw some jabs at Japan's history, too), this could be a great chance to take on that issue and show his usual message of "let's just get along with each other". That would be a great and positive attitude to show to the japanese youth that follows One Piece.

Ah ok. Well from now on I'm just going to wait for their version. Reading that mangapanda excrement isn't worth reading it one hour earlier.

(lol you put Jango instead of Jean :P)
I'm just glad there's a significant bounty hunter in the story. We need more of those. Whether or not he actually catches/defeats Luffy is another matter, but….
