Great chapter, great new cactus-hat, and not-so-great break. :P
Chapter 715: "Close Contest C-Block"
-
-
rip mangahere. there is no manga here
anyways, I'm really looking forward to the fight between Don and Luffy. I wonder what the audience's reaction will be when they find out that Lucy is Luffy.
Were they shut down or something?
-
Isnt HaoshokuHaki more or less worthless? For example Chinjao uses it, but only defeats lower tier fighters. Same with Shanks at the ship of Whitebeard. What is the purpose to defeat fighters which you defeat with normal fighting anyway? There must be something more behind this, I guess. Did I miss something?

Actually, I find the technique very valuable. Imagine if Luffy and the other Straw Hats had to fight all those 50,000 fishmen that he knocked out with CoC with hand to hand combat. It saves a lot of time and effort.

@Monkey:
He's a reference to the show Ideon.
oh now i get it, thanks. (but still we need, even the littlest, explanation. a technique or style? who knows)
@krule274:
Great chapter, great new cactus-hat, and not-so-great break. :P
Hey! we have (almost) the same avatar, it's killing me! (But i am already dead! YOHOHOHOHO )
have anyone spotted a pandaman in this chapter? if so where?

Maybe people´s stamina would deplete faster fighting each and every fodder instead of blasting their conciousness away. You burn more calories moving aroung even if Ko-ing a fodder wouldn´t count for much the calory counts are there… perhaps?:ninja:
-
Good chapter.
Chinjao is truly something else. I'll be very disappointed if he gets taken out like fodder.
Ideo, Ango, and the Funk brothers also get noticeable mentions. These guys are obviously the main people to focus on in this block. -
Now i wonder if there is someone significant in block A ?
I cant find anyone mentioned before though, if there is some info on block A before its all beaten by Burgess, i'll gladly accept the link, thanks in advance. :P
Negative. The only one contestant from block A we know is Jesus Burgess.
-
Ok chapter, best part was Chinjao's HH and the Funk Brothers
-
I usually think of the Conqueror's Haki as a symbol. If someone has it, it means that person has an incredible will; hell, literally a will to be a Conqueror / Emperor / King of the One Piece world.
Dofla knoking out those G-5 Marines with CoC wasn't a "Woah, such a useful power!!! So Haxxxx!" moment. It was more of a realization that Dofla is such a big player that he developed the ability to submit others to his will. That's what I think when someone has Kingbition Haki.
Don Chinjao having it + a bounty of 500 Million is basically saying this guy is a force to be reckoned with of the highest caliber. Him being waaaaaaaaay past his prime will be the perfect excuse why Luffy will (of course) defeat him, without undermining this guy's obvious extremely high threat level.
-
Hey! we have (almost) the same avatar, it's killing me! (But i am already dead! YOHOHOHOHO )

Hah! Skeleton jokes.
Also, there are so many new DF's lately, it's rediculous. Maybe I should do a count for this arc…
-
Clearly its going to be Chinjao vs Luffy. Wonder how long its going to take Luffy to put Chinjao down.
And surely there must be something to CoC besides knocking fodders out.
Jean the bounty hunter looks interesting, sure hope theres alot more powerful bounty hunters in the New World besides him, because whats the point of all these unbelievably high bounties if theres no one chasing them to get the bounty? -
@Little:
Negative. The only one contestant from block A we know is Jesus Burgess.
Ah, i see, i just dont want some named character get wasted in that instant haha.
And about the Conqueror's Haki, i think it also make the strong enemies hesitate to attack, its like putting fear in your enemies' heart, in the process it of course knock down fodder level enemies. So i dont think its that useless. Examples maybe like when Luffy telling the snake sisters (forgot the name) to put Margaret down without breaking her.
-
@Jewelery:
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 HakiAny idea as to what those vibrations on his hand could be. DF maybe, something along the lines of sengoku's shockwaves?
-
Any idea as to what those vibrations on his hand could be. DF maybe, something along the lines of sengoku's shockwaves?
It's the Kanokuni technique Hasshoken, Sai, Boo and Don Chinjao all used it
-

Hasshouken, a unique application Armament Haki? head scratch or not, Its mechanics are similar to both Whitebeards Gura Gura no Mi and Fishman Karate.

Mangarule version:http://www.batoto.net/read/_/183004/one-piece_ch715_by_mangarule/1
Sai using a spear and that battle style has become a favourite of mine.
Caribou doesn't deserve having a brother like Coribou.
a cactus as a hat lol. -
I'm sure it'll have something to do with Ki manipulation, like many internal chinese Kung Fu styles, or something along these lines. . .
-
It may be the translation but Chinjao's Kenpo seem to use a technique very similar to Fishman karate. The 'unblockable reverberating punch' seems to work like FK moves vibrations through water.
Wonder if this means Hack's technique might have worked on Bartolomeo if he'd known the barriers were there. Also with Luffy being familiar with Jinbe's style it might give him an advantage fighting Chinjao.
-
so rob lucci's twin brother seems pretty cool
-
just thought of something, maybe the happou navy is a sub-faction of the marines that was one of Akainu's new ideas? (hiring more strong pirates in fashion of the sichibukai but more like a G-5 type) it might explain why it said chinjao had a former bounty of 500mil (like a shichi) though might be either a miss translation or just the old age of his. Though i realize that the more logical thing is that either Happou is some sort of a faction of its own in OP or it is a navy of a country/island/yonko (still plausible).
Also, the line: "If only you could see Garp, what i am about to do to your grandson…". well... i have sen enough fan-art and read enough, cough, "manga" to know where this is going... -_-

personally think Happou Navy is one of the sub-organisations that Kaidou countrols
-
Sai's fighting reminds me of Zeplin from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
-
Yes, I'm serious. There's been very little depth in the tournament fights so far. There's been introduced far too many characters during the tournament so far for all of them to have any valuable meaning, when there instead could have been potential for semi interresting fights for some of the weaker SH members.
The things happening outside of the tournament seems to be much more interresting in my opinion, and the pace of the story, aside from the what's happening at the tournament, also seems to be much more steady. -
@Old:

yeah that would be awesome. A yonkou having his own navy with 3 zoan admirals.
-
Mmmm this Block is turning too long, it should end on the next chapter. Nothing more to see, lame participants too.
-
well, that chapter sucked
-
@Old:

the only real problem with this idea (besides the lack of hints towards it, though this is Oda so no one really can know) is that i can't find how would chinjao would work under a yonko. i figure he was close to Garp's power level, which means that he wasn't that far off whitebeards power level when they were all in their prime. (since WB=Roger and Roger=Garp or at least that is what the rumor goes for the latter). But you might say that either Kaido is so much stronger than Garp (thus WB too) which could be a compelling enough reason or Garp was that much stronger than chinjao that he beat him.

Chinjao implied when he fought Garp, Garp almost killed him so I don't think that Chinjao is at WB/Roger level as seen when he said
!
So clearly Chinjao is very strong, but got defeated and almost killed. Maybe Chinjao was a top commander of a Yonkou (Kaidou?) who knows we don't know much about him yet except that hes got a 500m+ bounty and has CoC, so clearly he is strong willed and very powerful. I think Luffy's fight with Chinjao will demonstrate to the New World how much stronger Luffy has become.

good points, but still for some reason it feels to me that a person like chinjao won't really be under someone. But in reality i will more than accept the fact that he works for someone who is ridiculously strong like Kaido. what is even more interesting is if Chinjao really works under someone how strong is that guy? say if it is kaido then those 30% really start to make an impact…
-
When I first read the chapter, I thought it was meh, but then I reread it for what it was instead of what I wanted, its actually pretty good.
-
I think next chapter we will see
Jean ango vs Chinjao
Luffy vs Sai
Ideo vs Funk Fusion -

Read the description for Chinjao at the top of the page.
http://www.batoto.net/read/_/183004/one-piece_ch715_by_mangarule/7
If Akainu was the one who started up the Happou, why would Chinjao have quit within two years? It just doesn't seem logical to me. In my opinion(and I could be wrong), I'd say it's just Kanokuni's navy. But who knows, I'm sure we'll find out soon.~
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I think next chapter we will see
Jean ango vs Chinjao
Luffy vs Sai
Ideo vs Funk FusionI'd say Jean V Luffy (He seems to have it out for him)
Sai V Ideo
Chinjao V Funk FusionWith the winners being obvious enough.
-
Is there any info where Burgess has gone?
-
Mmmm this Block is turning too long, it should end on the next chapter. Nothing more to see, lame participants too.
B Block went on for almost 4 entire chapters.
You mean to say that LUFFY'S BLOCK so far being 1 and a half chapters is too long?
And what exactly does "nothing to see" mean, when 5 fighters right now set their sight on Luffy? One of them being an ex-pirate with Haoshoku Haki worth 500 million, his grandson who's the commander of an entire navy and a badass martial artist, two brothers that just fused, a bounty hunter that throws scavenged weapons left and right and a boxer with massive shoulder that punches explosions into people; how's that "lame participants"?
As much as I enjoyed Block B, half of their participants ended up being far less impressive than any participant here.
–-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the whole Don Chinjao thing, I have a question: is it explicitly stated everytime someone mentions his bounty that it is a FORMER bounty? That I know, bounties remain active unless the person dies or is pardoned by the government, right? Is there any other way?

that is a good point too. I think that if the Happou was started by the marines Akainu made something that made him quite (maybe something with morals) or he changed something. But the really important question to properly answer the position of this navy is what is the relation between the Happou Navy and the Kanokuni Gang. (i find it kinda weird that these three belong to a gang and a navy force)
-
So far law has defeated two vice admirals so it's time for luffy to show his worth in the alliance, beating chinjao is the perfect opportunity.

Damn straight!
and on the Chinjao thing who knows we are going to have to see some backstories of his to get a better understanding of himthat is a good point too.

I don't think the Happou Navy has anything to do with the marines, and maybe a new organisation in the New World controlled by Kaidou (one of the Yonkous).

When they said 'Kanokuni Gang', I thought that just meant they were a part of their country's fighting forces. But if it was an actual gang, like a street gang(which I doubt), that would be pretty funny. Though, Chinjao doesn't seem like the type. Regardless, I'd also like to know how the two groups are related.
-
Also with Luffy being familiar with Jinbe's style it might give him an advantage fighting Chinjao.
Luffy exceprienced it once a couple of days ago.
I liked the chapter
-what a lovely brother coribou is. I wonder if the reminder of that old lady will make him guilty about grandma. I also wonder if we'll get his backstory.
-That sure is a powerful punch. Sending a giant flying gotta be the most impressive punch have seen in this manga. Wwy to go Jean. I judge you worthy of you're title of Boxer champion in the NW(for now). His face reminds me Lucci.
-Luffy must be quite fear to have time to transport Ucy to a safe place. Thank god since fodders are gone it won't take for that kind of behavior to be impossible.
-Bartolomeo has normal teeth or just an error from Oda? Rebecca is losing more and more crdit. I'm starting to think she'll go out with the fodders of her block. Cavendish look as cool about that as he's suppose to be.
-I like Sai fighting style. Fighting with a spear and using vibration to pass one's defense. Love it. And he doesn't look cocky and seems to be important in his country. We might saw his gang back in his country.
-So Chinjao was both leader of the navy of a country and a pirate. I wonder which was first. Maybe pirate. Navy commender is a good place to be when you got beat by Garp and want a fhange in life. Not surprise by the haki of conqueror. But at least he really is only interested in Luffy since he just KO everyone else without damage.
-A non-fodder bounty hunter? People has been waiting for that. And he's a sniper. I hope he won't decieve everyone. But he sure didn't give me a good first impression with that kind of shooting that hardly touch the target. But the weapon-collecting part is fun.
-The shrimp got on my nerve. Thanks got Buu took care of him. But like Gast I can say that sure was a let down for people able to take 100M bounty out. But Bobby in the other hand is pretty interesting. He got the hardest natural body we saw this far. At least to me. But he sure is a pacifist at least until he wears his brother cause when's that's done he sure become a violent beast. Or maybe it's the shrimp with the hat like someone suggested. But a hat transforming someone? Seems kind of a strech to me for now.
-And Chinjao finally close up for his showdown with Luffy. I hope Jack will do some good before going down. -
I think Don Chinjao is as strong as Jimbei or an average Shichibukai so it won't be logical if Luffy beats him easily without getting injured…I mean badly injured.
-
But thhere sure is a lot of puncher in this group.
-
so rob lucci's twin brother seems pretty cool
Thought I was the only one. Maybe he was the person that viewed Cesar's Shinokuni along with the other underground brokers.
-

Well thhe dude is old. So he sure ain't as strong as he used to be.
-

But what about Doffy then? :blink: Luffy will probably need to be at full strength to stand a chance against him.

Regardless, I'd also like to know how the two groups are related.
I thought that maybe, just maybe, a very simple and easy explanation might be:
Chinjao is a pirate, worth 500 M. –-> Gets beaten to half death by Garp - ---> ¿something happens here?---->he turns into the commander of his country's navy.
Now, COULD this work if this country is affiliated with the World Government? Are military officers from WG affiliated countries granted a pardon?
I'm inclined to say no, because back at the end of Alabasta even the princess of the kingdom, Vivi, was in danger of being arrested if the Marines suspected that she was in cahoots with the Strawhats. So, if not even a princess from a WG affiliated Kingdom could get away with being "friends" with a pirate crew, a 500 M. pirate suddenly turning into a navy commander from a country shouldn't just randomly grant him a pardon.
Yeah, maybe we should just wait and see if Oda gives him a well deserved flashback.
-
i hope block c ends next chapter and i hope block d is offscreened all the other plot points are much more interesting i also dont think chinjao will much of a problem for luffy chinjaos grandson must be atleast half his stregnth and seeing as how he was fodderized by fodder it doesnt look like chinjao will be much of a threat i think all hype hes getting is only there to show how strong luffys gotten after his training
-
My bet is on bobby eating a devil fruit allowing him to wear stuff, he might have wore something that made his body hard enough to destroy that weapon, then he wore a human (his brother), as if he was wearing a mask.
-
First of all, in my understanding the New World is fully controlled by the Yonkou's and the Marines have little influence in the region especially the furthur away from Marineford.
Second, we can look at Donflamingo as an example. He's both a pirate and the King of a Country. So, Don Chinjao can be both at one point the Navy commander of Kanokuni and have belonged to the pirate group of Kanokuni.
