Interesting Fact: Silvers Rayleigh is Sir Walter Rayleigh from history. Sir Walter Rayleigh is known for using asphalt from Trinidad Lake to caulk/ coat his ships en route to the New World. Trinidad Lake is one of few few Natural asphalt deposits. We still get crap tons of asphalt from there to this day and it shows no signs of slowing down. I learned that today in my Materials/ Aggregates civil engineering class. I know people have already connected them, but I am almost sure that no one knew that Rayleigh actually did coat ships on the way to the New World and was known/famous for it. He was also known as the silver poet and wrote about a dog that bit a noble (taken from a post on him in 2008 or 2010.)

Thanks for the info, didn't know about the coating thing. Don't understand how Oda even had time to research so many different subjects with his schedule.
Random prediction. Rayleigh is going to write a letter to Akainu and then Akainu will turn against World Nobles.

Wouldn't Blueno's fruit be useful to get out of the birdcage right about now.

Law's would too honestly, though he's clearly preoccupied right now.
-
I keep seeing people wanting Moriah to return, some saying 'ripped' and such.
I am gonna laugh so hard if he comes back and Luffy comments on how the leek man became an onion because Moraih has gotten a bigger bottom then before :ninja:
similar to how Franky's signature big arms & hands became even bigger -

Inazuma's fruit could come in handy as well.

I'd definitely like to see Moriah return once they go for Kaido.

Classic Oda! xD Make Doffy look strong for his backstory then Luffy beats him easily.
Oda adding more hax to Laws already hax df. -_-

What's your definition of easily?
-

I was exaggerating for the most part. xP
Of course this won't be an easy victory for Luffy. Will be a Crocodile sort of fight.

I thought as much, but can never be too sure and probably yes.
-
I hope doffy and Luffy have a well rounded fight instead of just blow for blow like vs lucci. I like doffys slick counter attack style. Maybe this can be a fight where Luffy actually applies a tactics taught by rayleigh. I liked Oda showing Luffy using his techniques in various ways and his growth like not just simply deflecting shots but aiming the bounce bacl for example.
-
That would be fun. Like how he taught luffy to not just deflect bullets but reflect them back at the person with more force.
-
Inazuma's fruit could come in handy as well.
and buggy's. no wonder he's a shicibukai. not even the birdcage, that made law trembles, can stop him.

@Monkey:
pirate king - pirate who is also a king
king of the pirates - king of all those who sail the seas piratingI think that's a translation issue. I think it's the same phrasing in Japanese, but depending on the translator, it gets translated one way, the other, or inconsistently.
I can't really read Japanese, though, so take that with a grain of salt unless someone that's actually fluent confirms it.

So.. no wagers this time around on what's going to happen next chapter?

I would be down to finally see Law/Doffy flashback but I don't think it'll happen next chapter.

Been a while since we checked in on Franky. And if Manshelly does have some sort of role to play in the climatic events she probably won't be left until completely the last moment.
Now that Dofla has at least started to give a back story I am expecting Oda to give a different point of view before he really gets into it. Lao G seems like he might have the role of trusted elder servant and might give a "Oh, the poor master…" speech as well. -
@xan:

It looks like they're about to go into Doffy's and Law's past, but then Oda cuts to a year long Zou arc focusing on Nami's group before we get back to that.
-

Well kind of :-D

I think the chapter will end with "no chapter next week".
-
To get out of the birdcage whe have the Law's shambles…
-
It doesn't seem like Crocodile is aiming to take anyone down. He only seemed to have a problem with Whitebeard.
So far absolutely, but since he is a powerhungry scheemer I would say it is very likely he isn't just going to sit back. You can't wield large influence without crossing the Yonkou's path somehow.
-

I'm afraid I have to agree on this one

I also think all ohter fights will be finished before we see the final round between Doffy and Luffy
-
I don't understand how Birdcage can be a problem after Doffy is defeated.
-
Gladius should be the first one to go down, among the Donquixote executives that are fighting right now.
It's a 3 on1 for god's sake. -

At first I thought I'd like the idea of Crocodile taking over the Underworld but now I'm not so sure.
-
damn i thought there will be a release now
-
I'm betting on Sabo coming to save Luffy and Law.
-
I am betting on Law using his remaing strength to set Luffy free. Ofc if it is the remaining strength, who will deal with Trebol once hes regenerated. Who knows with Law.

cavendish could deal with trebol. he isn't damaged at all and would go in fresh.
-

that would kill all the build up for law luffy vs doffy. i think oda prepared burgess to mess with sabo and prevent him from saving luffy.
-

I don't think so. This fight will show that Luffy is ready for the New World. If he can't defeat Doffy the 2y training would just have been a waste of time.

Could be. But I think BB wants to fight Luffy on his own. So he might also be interested in Luffy-alive.
-

There is no way that BB is phoning Burgess, worried to death what might happen to poor Luffy and ordering him to keep an eye on him and save him from all trouble. Burgess would probably think his boss has gone mad and ignore it.
-
Let Luffy win with his hands tied.
-

The only reason we got an early release last week was because of a japanese holyday.

Pretty much that, which means that it will obviously come out Thursday morning.
Just be patient, guys.
-
burgess might randomly decided to have a rematch with sabo just because he can. he seems like a guy who do what he wants to do. that or koala will force sabo to do his intel work as the revo army or something. i just cant see sabo interfering dofla's fight with law luffy. it's gotta either of the two who will defeat dofla (it'll be luffy ).
-
Yeah can easily see burgess waiting for sabo to weaken, and attack now.
-
Burgess would prolly want to beat up Sabo so he can take him back to BB to get his fruit. That could be only goal to stay on this island after the tournament ended.
-
You just can't be a Luffy's brother and own the mera mera without dying.

A little misunderstanding. :P What I meant was Sabo will set them free and have a brief confrontation with Doffy, but soon after that get attacked by Jesus. :)
Off topic: If you think about it Sabo and Doffy are quite the same, but opposite in some ways also. O.o

Obviously next chapter we´ll have worried BB and preoccupied Burgues discussing about Luffy´s wellbeing. Chapter´s name will be "THE CALL":ninja:
