Chapter 737: "The Executive Tower"

vagabond87

ah thanks. Good eye you got, I actually missed that!
I think a lot did, perhaps we were so busy looking at the panel were we see them in full and do not pay attention to that panel on far right that has only the three officers' legs kicking the guy. whoops, again thanks

Well it was super small detail compared to all what happened back then so almost nobody seen it back then :happy:

As for Trebol at start of this arc I thought that he has to be an Sanjis enemy in this arc as he was said to be one of top Doflamingo man and he showed some speed when we first seen him- from almost top of tower next to Baby 5 in like split second. So maybe those chains are form of restraining himself(manga-like thing) or its kind of memento from time he was a slave to Celestial Dragons(wild guess that I heard in different place).

Continuing as it goes for Trebol - Razh I remember that panel but I still rather intend to believe that Trebol is paramecia as we didnt seen him being cut through by someone/ something going through him etc I would still say that he is a lump of slime like substance.
As for Pica his "flesh spikes" might be manifestation of some sorts of his logia power going along with his Pica motiv. Oda will make all clear soon enough though.

So one after another week after week Doflamingo pirates are shown to be DF users one after another.. Wonder what we will see in incomming Law flashback. He should wake up one action will fully heaten up and then he might start remembering past.

Sanji still not being shown with all action and tension rising kind of promises to me that next time we will see him it will be in all out action, in a fight with some of Big Mom underling like Pekoms for example, with Sanji having upper hand.

Zoro is rather smart as it goes for him, understanding and analyzing out loud Picas ability. Luffy has Doflamingo as target so 99% it should mean that Zoro will have to finish of Pica.
Ussop will become hero of Dwarfs saving Leo from death/ being turned into toy- I sure do hope to see his new Sogeking mask and poses. Dwarfs will cry out loud of amazement
Such a chapter.. much amaze..

Oh and Cavendish-toy in demonic version is something that I am really waiting to see. Sugar also said to him that they are making a pact of sorts so maybe it means that terms of pact apply to her and her terms is that somebody obeys her and she stays as kid so taking her out and making everybody back to normal would end up with
Sugar revealing herself as an old ugly hag.

Hmm, I interpreted that scene differently. I thought Sabo intentionally hardened Burgess' weapon/armor so the air could have no way to escape from the weapon, resulting in the weapon/armor exploding. It would be a pretty clever move and Burgess wouldn't seem weaker than Sabo anymore (not that I think he is but I've seen some reactions suggesting it)

I think most people left the omigosh Burgess is powerless before Sabo shit back in the spoiler thread.

If anything this chapter suggest that they're both in for quite a fight.

@Razh:

I think that armor was a weapon. You can see smoke coming out of those holes on the elbow part after his first attack. Ideo had those exploding knuckles so it wouldn't be that strange.

http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/737/6

I guess we'll see if he can punch distant objects with his elbow without that armguard.

I guess that's a possibility. But i'd rather see it just being pure skill.

Everyday striking honed to the degree that the gust just tears through stonewalls lol

Average

If this is how strong Sabo is, I think I've been severely underestimating the Revolutionaries(including Ivankov.) I infer if Dragon has a specific style of fighting that he teaches to his subordinates…. And Jabra's theory about Robin fighting Trébol seems more and more likely now. She's the only one there who can hit him and not get stuck. Unless he's a logia, in which case she's gotta develop some crazy haki skills real quick :ninja:

@wolfwood:

Well I was quite worried when I saw what, what I thought was his normal elbow thrust, did. That smoke from the armor kind of relaxed me. Don't know, it just seems too much for anyone to be able to leisurely do almost the same thing Elizabello did with hours of prep time.

It's funny since I thought that armguard was just something he picked up before the fight, like Luffy did.

Now that Mangastream version is out, I can say that there are 10 GIANT captains, many people misunderstood me, and it was said in the spoilers thread, that they are not literally Giants, but rather too big for an ordinary human. The only ones, who are fit of such title are Burgess (he is pretty big) and San Juan Wolf (who is the biggest creature in the world)
What I'm saying is, that maybe BB now has his own "Giant Squad"

Ms is out. Much better quality and translation. Burgess is not using haki. Sabo is closing up his dial kind weapon with his arrmament haki making it explode on burgess arm. http://readms.com/r/one_piece/737/2239/12
Pica is named the highest executive explicitly by violet and his fruit is explained better.

Anyone else try to imitate Sabo's hand when he did Dragon Claw? Can't quite get my fingers to bend that way haha.

Ahahah, I admit it x)

Paradox

Blackbird Hahahahaha I lost it, the translations just get better every week.
Aw a break :( But I'm glad to finally see some Sabo moves and Usopp breaking out the hot tabasco sauce again.

Funky

Did Burgess create a hole in the Colosseum for people to go in and out freely? I hope so. I'd hate for Koala to get stuck there. I want her to join up with Franky. That would be suuuuuuuper.

Kizuchan

The contract thing is really creepy. The clash of Burgess and Sabo is great. Seems like Hack is indeed a revolutionary.
I feel like this is going too smoothly, Sugar probably won't be affected. Break next week, huh. At least this was a pretty good chapter to leave off on.

Kishido

Well finally home… And now my summary... A really awesome chapter

Pica looks awesome and so far I love his DS and how he uses the whole castle for his fighting style… But I really want to know if he will be fought by Zoro and Luffy to move on further faster or that Zoro will face him alone.
Now the finals… Both Burgess and Sabo are just plain awesome... Love their styles... And damn that nice homage towards Dragon by Sabo... Bartolomeo (:wub:)is cheering him off as well and I LOLed so hard seeing Rebecca being smart and protecting herself with his barrier... It is clear as hell that she will win with her smartness somhow while power wise she stands no chance.
The most interesting stuff besides the fighting is the fact that BB got 1 more new major member… This of course means that we will get 2 (OK one cuz Jinbe is fact)... Maybe the new member will be the one, who will stand out as Shilew and the opponent of Sanji... Really curious to see him... Well I'm curious to see them all, cuz we haven't seen much of the "old member" as well.
The Toy Story with Cavendish… As some people mentioned they made the contract with him... But what about Hakuba? I bet he will have a huge role and won't listen to the family
Trebol and Sugar… Trebol is just funny and Sugar is really stone cold... Love Trebol's DF as well... Really want to see how he will beaten... So far I can't see Usopp and Robin beating someone of this calibre... So if anything they have to work together... or someone will appear and save the day
Why is Trebol chained up at his legs?
The ending was nice as well, even if I would liked a more important cliffhanger for the break
Still no Sanji…

Burgess is no giant though (not big enough).

Look closer @ the color of his armor near point of contact with Sabo: it's black, as in CoA black.

Why is everyone surprised Trebol wears cuffs and chains on his feet? He already had 'em in the FB. Guess it is a Fashion Thing, just like Pika's Spikes. Lolflamingo, Marshol D. Peach awesome. At least they translated the "D." correctly.

Sanji will only appear once this arc is over.

Man, Pica's fruit is crazy, I wonder if he could extend the controlled area to all of Dressrosa.

@HTC:

What about the three panels down on the right. Look at the spikes of Burgess armor. Its getting blacker and blacker until his elbow weapon explodes. I am pretty sure Burgess can use Haki but did not in that instant and that the weapon exploded from its own power when sabo closed up the air holes of the armor. We know that this can be done. Its the arrmament haki function that is behind Luffys red hawk. I am not saying that i am right a 100% but for me these panels make it seem as if sabo is the only one using haki in that moment. Maybe Burgess hardened his arm when his weapon exploded to avoid injury or burning.

For me the older Blackbeard pirates look like they have about the same height as BB, and the level 6 prisoners are even bigger.

Qaaz

Re-reading the chapter and IF things is going to be as I think and Fujitora is on the way to the Colosseum now and gets inside moments before Sugar is knocked out besides the toys turning back on people and the chaos will come he will have to deal with Burgess too instead of "Lucy" b/c Burgess attack's harm the citizens too. So this is an extra for Burgess to steal the fruit and run

I think the doflamingo pirates are all ex slaves of DD back when he was a celestial.

Makes sense how most of them have hax devil fruits and stuff.

Well Burgess' arm is still coated after the armor exploded. And the panels also shows the impact happening between the elbow and the hand.

hajpen

Sabo's Dragon Claw looks more like a stab than a punch, doesn't it? Interesting use of Haki.

Diamante seems to be taller than him in that matter. So he's obviously a serious candidate for the giant squad. :ninja:

They say no man is an island, but…

That was actually my thought when the power was explained too. There must be some limit to his reach though. Even so, the whole palace is plenty big enough to be a threat, especially if he can move around it like Magellan could through his venom road.

I do no accept Jesus Burgess as my lot and savior. Pretty weak showing for jesus. To bad there isn't any buildings around for him to throw at people, that would have helped a lot.

Dressrosa arc is just a big excuse to know who's worthy to be in the giant squad.

Also, I wonder if Hakuba has been forgotten.

incinerator

Defeating Sugar with a Tabasco Star? Looks to me like Leo will have trouble on his own and Usoland will deliver the finishing blow! Glad that so much was clarified this chapter, and the finals are not disappointing! I wonder what kind of Haki technique that was that broke Burgess' armor…

mr.2 look like so strong after impel down arc.. i think he can beat burgess so easy

Well… Since Sugar's contract/order was directed at Cavendish, it's likely that it won't affect Hakuba. So this would play some part in all this, somehow.

I had thought about Pica "being" the castle back at the time when Lao G told the thunder soldier that they couldn't get to Dofla without defeating Pica.

Burgess just hasn't hit his stride yet. He'll be laying the New Testament down on Sabo soon enough.

Mafia Boss

Trebol's ankle was chained???? Anyone guess why??? I'm so confused

I think I was paying too much attention to that…

blue-san

He had that chain before when DF came to the island to take over. So just a design, perhaps a freed slave or whatever the case, he is not restricted by it.

I just feel sorry for Leo. Usopp being a coward letting Leo take the risk, instead of using his strength to help from the get go. Was hoping that he would grow a pair after the time skip, even if just a bit. Nope…

Instead I can already see him, contemplating how he cannot let the Tantata people down and overcoming his fear and standing up against those two. Which was overused in the story already. He cant be overcoming his scaredy cat behavior for the entire series can he?

moud

this fuckin rebecca stop hiding behind ppl ,, that was hilarious though

so i guess burgess isn't gonna use his elbow surge again , damn sabo is really strong this is even way better than the spoilers

i think it's fair now to say pica has a rock logia , zoro said he's not just a rock man "like rubber man or diamond man"

he also can assimilate with stones which only logia can do

Sythus

So Burgess is one of "10 Giant Captains" in the BB crew, interesting. I wonder if it is similar to the way the WB crew worked, in the sense that all of them have crews under them. Sorry if it has been discussed, haven't gone through every page!

And I'm loving Pica's fruit. It looks very strong, not to mention the way he looks in that form is amazing!

wolfwood

I guess this is the point where Zoro and Luffy make short work of Pica because he's only an underling right?
