One Piece Chapter 744 - Revolutionary Army Chief Advisor

Darth

Yes in the end, I feel this will happen that Sabo will burn Akainu use MMnM power + insane HAKI.

And how exactly would Haki enhance flames?

For that matter, it was already established that Magu Magu no Mi is superior to Mera Mera no Mi. It's not Naruto, you can't simply break rules cause.

@LightningAce:

We don't know what their over all plan is yet, but eventually we cna expect the 4 Emperor's are gonna start taking each other out. Kaidou is preparing for something with his army of zoans, Blackbeard for the past 2 years has been on a DF hunt, and Big Mom well forget about her, i think her time is at an end pretty soon. Shanks really doesn't come into this because he's 1 of the "good" guys, and would prolly be more sympathetic to the Revolutionary cause given his ties with Roger/Luffy etc

That's not much of plan now, is it?

Also, I expect Akainu marines to be able to take down one Yonkou at the time. From what I've seen so far, revolutionaries don't seem nearly as strong as marines at the moment. Conflict with even one Yonkou would be disasterous for them. Which might happen, considering Burgess…

Da Funk

The amount of fan service in this arc is too damn high. IMO, Dressrosa is up there with the Marineford arc. And we're not even done yet.

@Birty:

There is so much Sabo hate around here. Why on earth shouldn't Sabo be strong enough to defeat Fuji? Are you saying the No.2 in the almighty revolutionary army shouldn't be able to defeat a marine admiral? That's just based on personal dislike towards a character seeing as the revolutionaries are supposed to be strong enough to overthrow entire kingdoms…

And the theory that Robin should know about Sabo being alive? Why the hell not? She could have been close friends with him for all we know but just never knew he was Luffy's brother the same way hardly anyone in the world knew Ace and Luffy were brothers.

All this talk of Sabo easily taking control of Ace's fruit seems a bit outlandish to me aswell, the attack Sabo used seems like quite a wild outburst of fire in a given direction the same way BB used the tremor fruit quite wildly at marineford with no real control putting his own crew at risk.

You're wrong. There is lot more Sabo fangasming going on here than Sabo hate. The reason many people hate Sabo right now is because some people (including me) don't like a 'cool, cocky, and powerful' Ichigo running around in One Piece. Also, on my side of things, the scene where Sabo ate the fruit was contemptible. It was essentially, "me, Sabo. I so cool. I win tournament anti-climatically. I get Mera-Mera fruit. Hiken. I pwn you suckerz. Yez". To be honest, all Sabo did this chapter was make me hate him. The possibility of him even fighting Fujitora on equal grounds is irritating as well. Maybe future chapter will change my mind about him, but right now, I'm not impressed.

@Darth:

At the time I'm writing this, I actually find Fujitora to be more sympathetic character than Sabo.

And funny thing is, if Sabo truly is Dragon's right hand man, then boy Revolutionaries are underprepared for making the world a better place.

Let's say they even overthrow the goverment. What exactly is their plan for dealing with Yonkou? Cause I don't exactly see them as capable of protecting anyone at this point…

Stop with your Sabo hate. Sabo being #2 doesn't mean he's Dragons right hand man, it can also mean his just 2nd commander like Ace was in WB pirates. So
-Dragon commander in chief,
-1st commander ???
-2nd commander Sabo.

@Enzeru:

Huh, didn't expect Sabo to look like that. I suppose it fits his appearance as a child.

I thougt exacltly the same

Funky

Why did some people get the impression that Sabo's character is a douchebag? He saved Rebecca knowing she would get hurt from the fire and the fall. He needed a second hand avialable to fire the fireblast off. He couldn't also carry Bartelemeo (and he did have his barrier to protect him).

He has a hard time showing emotion because he has been working in the revolution army his whole life. Just look at Dragon who is always emotionless. Now imagine Sabo being trained and educated by Dragon and his officers. I'm sure Oda is going to dig into Sabo's emotions once we're at the end of the arc. Currently he's holding on to his emotions because he knows that getting the job done is more important.

And about MMnM inferior to Magma, because Ace just show that he can use orange fire, if Sabo can use white fire then ................ WHITE FIRE > MAGMA.

No, I'm not going to stop with my Sabo hate, because he totaly deserves something other then praise for being annoying sue.

Also, going with the translation here, he is called No. 2 in the revolutionaries, not second commander. That allows to assume that he is right hand man. Unless Dragon is number zero.

@Master:

Two great chapters in a row
One Piece is back

Sabo was epic this chapter. Destroying the arena, getting rid of the enemies, catching the fruit, eating it, then using the Fire Fist. Couldn't get any better
His look is awesome and he is 2nd in command, that is great. He really is so strong and now + mera mera…
I'm thinking Sabo will help Luffy bring down Kaidou next. I want Sabo to kick more ass

As for Doflamingo, I just read the Mangastream translation, and it says that Dofla has already used the birdcage. His head is cut and I think there are only two possibilities: 1. He is logia and 2. Law's Devil Fruit.
Since Law is in kairoseki, I think the possibility is that Doflamingo has an ability to control other people's devil fruits in the area close to him. That is a theory I read here, and I think it is quite possible. This means Doffy used Law's fruit to cut his head, and now he is gonna cause a ruckus all around that room

I go completely with yout opinion, but I am not sure how DD did managed to survive. I don't believe he controlled Law nor is he a logia in my opinion. It will be something oda-ish that explains it…

So much love for Sabo from here!

I hope to see Robin interact with the revolutionists next chapter!

Hell! Who is more belobed? Captain - the hero - Usopp or captain buggy?

MDL

Great chapter, enjoyed it a lot.
I'm also glad that Sabo ate the fruit. Not only will the "who will eat it" debates stop, but it's also a fitting choice.

Usopp is the new Buggy?
I can live with this, and I hope that this is setting them up for a fight against each other.
Army VS army, messiah vs messiah.

Also, Kyros continues his ruthless streak.
Holy shit, i'm pretty sure he broke buffalo's neck. (That's the typical hold, right?)

Maybe future chapter will change my mind about him, but right now, I'm not impressed.

So would you rather prefer, Burgess to eat the mera mera, kill Sabo, make fun with his cut head in the coliseum, and escape. Then wait for 10 more years till Luffy becomes strong enough to get revenge?

I think there have been a lot of sad moments in one piece, and I have been waiting for something like this for years, maybe since Kuma destroyed the StrawHats, and also the Marineford arc. I think there is nothing bad in having Sabo being super strong, because I'm pretty sure even Luffy is close to his level, we just need to see his full potential.

I'm tired on seeing the straw-hats suffer. I also want to see Zoro and Sanji being this strong. I really hated the way Sanji was defeated by Doflamingo and especially after two years of training. Zoro also does not seem to be that strong too, see how many difficulties he has in dealing with Pica and he also escaped from Zoro too. I'm pretty sure these characters are on the right way in the story progression, but adding Sabo as a weakling is out of One Piece series in my opinion. That is just to make up for all of those sad moments, and also he was in par with Ace, what did you expect? Anyway I guess each of us has a different taste

Thank you Oda for these great chapters

If Sabo was a marine I'm pretty sure Darth wouldn't be this butthurted lol.

@Sythus:

Damn, Darth, who pooped in your cereal mate? :ninja:

I hate sues. I despise them with passion. And as of this chapter, Sabo feels like a bloody sue to me. It's as simple as that.

huron

@Darth:

It must have been quite a shock… :ninja:

sure it was.was not he supposed to be one legged former admiral after the duel with Akainu?

Darth

@madriano:

I would. My hatred of sues dwarfs even my love for the marines.

Also, if it was Rebbeca that ate the fruit and then pulled Ace's move, you'd be all agreeing with me.

Funky

@Darth:

In all honesty, if Fuji loses this arc, I might go off One Piece for a little while out of grief for wasted opportunities. It's still too early for Admiral to fall.

But it's not too early to plot against the Yonkou? If Fujitora is going to be defeated (which seem possible but not likely) he could still be very relevant later on.

Sabo1

I believe the weapons manufacturer is Kaido; Sabo/Kaola/Hack will tag along with Luffy/Law alliance to take down Kaido. I do not believe the alliance is over, Luffy will be very convincing.

I'm also wondering how Ussops "followers" will play in the future? I guess they could sail around the new world under Ussops name? Perhaps even use Ussops jolly roger? lol na they'll use Luffys if that were to happen. They'll play a role in the final battle I'm sure.

Tyrano

Lol, one of the most epic chapters in many epic chapters In this arc.
And yep there just got to be a hater who will fight against everyone no surprises there.
Why is there a need to make a thread a personal battle with endless whining haha

The chapter was amazing with a new twist brought into the game by none other than doflamingo.

Usopp all bloody and commanding was great too.
And that character. Oda doesn't know how to disappoint.
I really wonder how things will be pkayed out. In fact I've always been wondering.
It is just so unpredictable, kinetic, exciting and damn fun.

Do you not see difference between plotting and actually succeding?

Considering even Whitebeard, one of the Yonkou, couldn't knock out an Admiral, then I'm pretty sure there is nobody on the island capable of doing that.

@darkmninya:

Sabo definitely climbed the ladder when it comes to revo rankings. Remember that at the time he was saved, Iva and Kuma are already there. And them going ways gave Sabo a chance. So he might have been number 2 during the time skip.

fullscalenuclearwar

@Darth:

Meh.

That's exactly how I feel about this chapter. Meh.

Sabo getting the fruit so easily feels both rushed and anti-climactic.

Burgess fails.

Diamante fails.

They haven't even been able to give Sabo significante challange, much less stop him.

Also, weren't devil fruits of all types supposed to be hard to control? As in, it should not be possible for Sabo to pull that attack instantly?

Doflamingo lives with his head chopped off, beating Whitebeards record for ridicioulous endurance, unless he really is a robot.

And how the hell does he talk without lungs?

Also, Sabo being No. 2 in revolutionaries… How exactly do they intend to challange WG with just that?

1. Sink the Colosseum, break the treasure box, eat the Mera-mera. IMO it's not rushed, after all you will only have to bite it once you acquire it. You might as well call the liberation of Ace a disappointment as a whole: Mr.3 molds a key, unlock his chain, ta-da, all in 1 chapter. Rushed?

2. It's a pleasure to see Burgess fail.

3. It's funny to see Diamante achieving absolutely nothing at all, worst dofla subordinate in my list together with lao G.

4. When Luffy ate gomu-gomu, the next moment Shanks stretches his arms, immediate effect. In Sabo's case, he was ready for it, for instance if you acquire a gun, even if you cannot aim properly, you know in your conscious mind you will trigger it to shoot. Simple as that. Visualize a punch you fireman, poof, there it is. Also Sabo experienced burning sensation before he even launches attack.

5. Dofla's head….no comment. But it's not hard to believe he can still speak, back in the days when Whitebeard tried to stab Aokiji in the chest, Aokiji melts a hole in the chest with his lungs gone at the same time he talks. I would advice not to bring in technical logic into op-verse.

Lastly, it doesn't take too much of a man to challenge the ruling government, if you have faith in your belief, by all means go for it. It doesn't occur to me that Revolutionary armies at this point are capable of overthrowing World Gov, but at least they have the hearts to at least try. Remember 2 years ago a seemingly small & weak pirate crew out of nowhere shot down a WG flag, waged war against the 'Justice'.

Just my 2 cents.

Tyrano

I mean why not let others appreciate the episode and share each other's excitement before making blatant hate post and drawing all the conversation and attention to one's self?
The thread has become all about one thing

Darth

@madriano:

What did he do to make you hate him so much?

Because it feels like I'm watching creators pet being made. The way he effortlessly succedes, especially in this chapter, has a lot to do with it.

ZoroXTashigi

@DARK_RITUAL:

Stop with your Sabo hate. Sabo being #2 doesn't mean he's Dragons right hand man, it can also mean his just 2nd commander like Ace was in WB pirates. So
-Dragon commander in chief,
-1st commander ???
-2nd commander Sabo.

And.. I add… become 2nd commander doesn't mean Sabo is 3rd strongest RA, such as Ace not stronger than Jozu and Teach. Sabo can become a 2nd commander because Dragon like his personality (Ch 586) , such as Ace become 2nd because WB like him. I feel Sabo become 2nd commander occured after time-skip because Sabo are not as strong as now on 2 years ago (Ch. 731).

Don't bother.

I think he fits how oda showed him to be when he was still young.
Plus he's a big dog in the RA, why wouldn't he show off a bit.

He's rather handsome too.

Birty

Isn't it just part and parcel of the story progressing that we have eventually come up against people that can defeat admirals though? I mean we are in the new world now and i bet there are a few people around who can beat an admiral in a fight. The revolutionaries are considered the number one threat to the marines so you'd have to expect their higher ups to be very powerful individuals. And Darth, when did we see a 1 vs 1 with whitebeard and an admiral? He was old and had already been stabbed through the chest then had various fights with more than one admiral that got cut short.

Sorry for the late replies btw, cant keep up with you guys haha

madriano

@Darth:

The guy is strong, it wasn't effortlessly, his Dragon Breath was probably his strongest move.

So Sabo could fight Burgess without the fruit, now he has a really strong logia fruit. Did he just hit Admiral level? :S Other than Ussop's bullshit written win aside, this was a great chapter.

@RobZilla:

#what is diamante's fruit?

Diamante ate the HIRA HIRA NO MI, the FLAG-FLAG Devil fruit. We've seen this like 2 or 3 weeks ago
Zoro is left behind, but he's gonna BREAK the birdcage to save LUFFY and only LUFFY. By saving him, the rest will be freed too.

Buggy's Nose

Great chapter - maybe a little bit too busy for my liking but at least that means it'll be good to reread over the forthcoming break.

Enjoyed Usopp pulling a buggy, and liked Sabo devastating the arena - although I'm a little underwhelmed with his design just now.

On Doflamingo's continued survival - I was one of those in the Law saved him camp and I still think that could be a possibility. It would be a bit contrived but Law could have used room to take off Mingo's head in the past. Subsequently he could have kept himself together using his strings. When Kyros went for the chop, that would have severed the strings and so lopped off the head…

a little bit more far-fetched but based on what we know about all the powers in play it does make some sense.

Darth

@madriano:

The guy is strong, it wasn't effortlessly, his Dragon Breath was probably his strongest move.

He is not even out of breath. After fighting Commander of the fricking Blackbeard pirates. He managed to snatch the fruit, while both Burgess and Diamante, both of which have long range attacks, and are experienced combatants, just decided to gape, while Sabo destroys the ring, takes the Mera Mera, eats it, uses it succesfully, and lands completly unharmed, and not threatened at any point.

Eight pages. It took eight pages.

So you know what, I'm going to call this out. This was way too easy, and has marking of making Sabo creators pet, when every other person in this arc put so much struggle to accomplish anything.

HaveReadTheTerms

@Darth:

I would. My hatred of sues dwarfs even my love for the marines. Also, if it was Rebbeca that ate the fruit and then pulled Ace's move, you'd be all agreeing with me.

I don't think so. If rebecca did it, I think people would be pretty pissed, but not like if Sabo did (or burgess). I mean, based on him being on par with ace when they were kids, you can assume that he's got same potential as ace and it's not surprising that he could handle such standard move like hiken on first try. If you're referring to tashigi who couldn't do the same back in PH with smokey's body, I'd say Tashigi was just not in Sabo's level of strength (both physical and mental, and potential) to handle things like logia fruit that fast.

Darth

@ZoroXTashigi:

Garp use Insane Haki > Akainu use Magma …. And what wrong with my opinion? If Sabo can use Insane Haki then MMnM + Insane Haki > Magma ...

For starters? You are assuming that Akainu cannot use Insane Haki.

I'm so glad that the "X is Sabo" meme officially ends with this chapter.

People really underestimate the Admirals, they are the Marine's strongest force, I don't think that there are that many people in the world that could take them down in a 1 vs 1.

Problem I have with that explenation, is just it makes Sabo even more sueish. But it is most probable explanation.

Kizuchan

It's a little early to judge Sabo. He was just introduced. Let him be cool. You could argue that he just seems another Ace, but I think he'll be different character-wise, while giving tribute to Ace. He seems like a mix of Luffy and Ace to me in design. There's his "dragon" named techniques, which goes along with the fire fruit and we also know he was probably trained by Dragon, of course he's a badass, and second and command to him, what'd you expect? The issue with Law was and still is his devil fruit abilities and lack of backstory/character development, but I don't think Sabo has that problem.

The fire fist looked great this chapter, too. I like that little moment with Koala. Usopp's bit was funny, too, plus Robin got to do stuff, ending with that cliffhanger with Dofla. Thought it was a great chapter.
