Ramistar mentioned it before about Usopps position being ideal for Snipers.
I think he will get involved in more action soon. Perhaps against other snipers like Jean Ango who will go for Bounty. Or maybe Trebol who has shown impressive skills when he killed that fly. Although he already defeated Usopp once he can be a revenge match.
@Dahaka.:
ah damn
that's what you get for not reading posts properly. sorry, misunderstanding
unless you see something wrong with bb treatment and it wasn't just a comparison
Not at all. In fact, I like that it's that way. It's refreshing to see a villain which manages to escape death by flukes. The guy plans it all out, only to be poisoned to death at the crucial moment and then to be saved by sheer luck. That's awesome.
It's like his crew is fucking around and relying on fate just for the kicks. There is something appealing to that way of thinking, as long as life is good to you, lol.

The Strawhats are almost exactly like that, they just don't talk about the fate and death. They always rely on luck.

"Hey guys, let's make one of the final enemies as untreatning and irrelevante as possible way before the end of the series so that their defeat is not an accomplishment in any way."
Said no-one ever.
Altough, considering the threatment Blackbeard Pirates get on every appearence, that might be more true then we think...
I'm thinking more towards the end of the series. You can't be the most free with Admirals chasing your ass.

I don't believe we've seen Jora since she ran away from the Law v Doflamingo fight, she might be ashamed of what happened. I don't think Usopp will be doing anything. He made his contribution and is to injured. KIng Riku and Violet seem like they won't be doing anything, as they would not do well in a fight.

I agree that it's nice that it's not all planning and they just kinda go with the flow. You get these villains that make all these plans that don't make sense or way to many things that could go wrong. I think Dio said it best when he said that the more you plan, the more that can go wrong.

16 chars of Arlong.

… There wasn't even a marine on the island when he got beaten. And the only one worked for him, for crying out loud.
I think our definitions of "apprehended" might vary from each other slightly...
Yeah, Oda knew that Arlong had been made too iredeemable to ever resurface, outside of flashbacks. Shooting mothers dead in front of protagonists is way worse than say, forcibly creating drought and two years worth of civil war.

Yeah.
When he got "beaten", there weren't any marines there.
When he got "apprehended"…it was by the marines, later on.

His crimes were so insignificante that it took all of three pages of consideration before realising him.
And mind you, it was Ivankov's doing, mostly.
Which does begs the question if revolutionaries are that much better then WG, being ready to use criminals of that statute when it is convenient to them…
Random thoughts are random.
The only villains I can think of that kinda got redeemed was CP9, but that's more because they lost their jobs. Though if this was Fairy Tail or Bleach, it would be interesting to see those authors try to redeem someone like Arlong, or even better Enel.
Yeah.

Enel got a kind of accidental redemption in his cover story.
Croc went from being a 2d bad guy to a character who saved Ace and seemed to have some quite complex emotions.
Mr.3 got his redemption by helping Luffy during the jailbreak and at Marineford.

Even if he was put in a bit of a positive light, Enel didn't get a story where everyone forgave him. I like how they did Crocodile. He's not the nicest guy and he mostly helped out because he wanted to get out and try to take down Whitebeard. Mr.3 has nothing on the Bro that is Mr. 2 Bonclay!

Enlist as a recruit, get offered free room and board, apprehend small time pirates and generally do good in the lower ranks.
Believe you're really helping the world by apprehending criminals, and for the most part you probably are legitimately getting the right guys.
Only the elite ever raise to the top and start realizing all the shady things their organization is actually involved in. Sounds like a typical rise-through-ranks scenario, whether it's business, military, or government.

Yeah, I just meant that he did (albeit accidentally) rebuild the spacey civilisation and stop the enemy space pirates.
Well yeah, nobody really has anything on Bentham when it comes to turnarounds lol
I did rather like Mr.3's moment at MF though, when he explained his motive for helping Luffy was in memory of Mr.2 and his sacrifice.

You know, I still tear-up a little watching his sacrifice in the anime. Even though I know he survives.
Bentham remains in my top 10 favorite pirates to this day, because of how selfless he is.
And there… another proof I'm not completly heartless.
Croc went from being a 2d bad guy to a character who saved Ace and seemed to have some quite complex emotions.
Mafia don bondvillain Crocodile is the pinaccle of One Piece villainy and entertaining as all fuck, and I will hear no objections. And his deep trust issues, jaded attitude and nicely undisclosed backstory definetely made him more than 2D. If he'd had an Arlong-style gruesome visage and an on-panel murder of a named, beloved supporting character to his credit I'd bet an arm and a leg he'd never have resurfaced in his current role, and personally, I think his character would be better for it. Yeah, his character has been expanded, but it just feels so…needless. So superfluous. Crocs in-story purpose was as clear as can be in Alabasta, now he's just a fan-favourite resource Oda can reintroduce when needed.
It reminds me of something Kishi would do, and indeed kind of did in the Zombie War. Sometimes its okay to let people have just one focused, brilliant performance. I feel the same way about Vegeta, who never managed to be regain the entertainment value he had in the Sayan and Namek arcs.
But i already talked about this in the LoL thread, and thats a whole different discussion. I'm just happy that Arlong, Spandam, and Hody Jones at the very least are off the redemption-table.

Mr 3 is one of the shining examples of character repurposing yielding amazing results, but that could be due to him never being that entertaining to begin with…
And Bon-Chan worked out in ID because Oda took what turned out to be the most fun aspect of his character, cranked it up to 11, and never ever ever brought up the fact that Bentham kinda had a huge role in fucking over Alabasta ever again (which felt kind of out of character, even then)

With so many characters, previously beaten villains coming back would just add even more of em to the mix, so. . .I say Jora got lost. Or fell asleep. Or Pica jumbling the whole island inside out creating a rift and she fell through it.
As for Usopp, Violet and King Riku, it's actually super weird. Oda spent an entire chapter setting the whole HeadHunter thingie, and right now, on the old plateau, there's a half dead man (Usopp), a beaten old man (King Riku) and a slightly injured, non-fighter woman (Violet). . .all of them combined worth NINE stars. NINE HUNDRED MILLION Berries.
Neither the ingrateful bastards that were starhunting, nor the citizens that want to end the game ASAP, nor the Marines that were ordered to hunt down the Lawhats, nor even, hell, Doffy's minions (or even an Officer) are doing everything in their power to go there and make instant profit right now. Doffy literally called Usopp the guy that's highest on his shit list, Viola is a traitor and poor Riku got 3 stars on his head. . .just because. But, really, it should be priority number 1 to a hell of a lot of people to find them out and easily dispatch them, yet it seems they're so far pretty safe and chilling in the sun, just watching the whole show from the distance.
In short; Usopp (and Violet and Riku) shouldn't have the privilege of peacefully sitting the climax out considering the situation. I hope Oda does justice to the whole Birdcage scenario he himself has written.
Spandam is one of the most unredeemable in my opinion. What a spineless scumbag he was. I love to hate him.
After this arc Doflamingo will be almost certainly be chiseled into his reserved slot on the list of beyond redemption. I don't think we've seen the pinnacle of his cruelty yet. I doubt we'll ever see him pull a Crocodile.
well,arlong was (kinda) redeemed during the fishman island saga,both from his past and his direct comparison with Hodi
Spandam is one of the most unredeemable in my opinion. What a spineless scumbag he was. I love to hate him.
That's literally the point of the character.

How is that redemption? He's still imprisoned for his crimes, as far as we know, and is still a massively evil murdering racist scumbag
well,arlong was (kinda) redeemed during the fishman island saga,both from his past and his direct comparison with Hodi
I don't think that's how redemption works. It's true he was given moments of true grief and emotion, but he was a racist, fanatic zealot from day 1. He was beyond saving and beyond redeeming, and that was one of the reasons Jinbe felt so guilty.
And I never felt like Oda tried to justify Arlong for his crimes because of what happened with Fisher Tiger. It never even crossed my mind.
@krule274:
That's literally the point of the character.
Yeah.. agreed. Perfectly unredeemable.
As for Arlong… he's not redeemed we just have more insight into what made him who he is. He still chose the wrong path and never showed any remorse.

In the flashback, he appears as the root of Hody's hatred.

I'm always 100% sure, that someone will confront them at some point of time. As you said, it wouldnt made any sense otherwise.
Maybe that would be a good opportunity for Bellamy to resurface again and lead to his inner struggle if he should use the chance to prove his loyality and worth by defeating nine stars for doflamingo.
In the flashback, he appears as the root of Hody's hatred.
he is,but he still treasure his comrads,while hodi didn't thought one second before condemn them all.

he didn't became a good guy,but neither did croco,he saved Ace mostly because his hatred for the The marines was bigger than whatever resentment he had against luffy and WB

I personally liked Croc's expansion in ID and MF.
His backstory was nice and abstract back in Alabasta, and it did work perfectly.
However, Oda's intention to have Luffy shake ID and MF needed strong supporting characters, to make it seem realistic without taking away from ID's reputation as the great gaol.
It also plays pretty well into the whole "Luffy can make an ally out of anybody" thing.
Since Croc already had this hinted at tragic backstory, where he started off like Luffy and ended up nearly destroying a kingdom for the equivalent of a nucear warhead, it fit in pretty nicely.
Even at that, Oda made sure to temper his redemption with moments like attacking Whitebeard and making sure his actions never really came across as altruistic.
So yeah, I wouldn't say it was really superfluous as such.

I would say the root of his evil was given some explanation, nothing close to redemption occurred.

Yeah I guess it's true. But I think we already knew that.
It is, but I would argue that it isn't off-set enough by actual accomplishments.
Yeah, Blackbeard is supposed to be strong and dangerous but I've never seen anything that would justify it. He beat Ace, off panel. He beat Hannyabal with a surprise attack. Him and his crew beat Magellan, off panel. He didn't kill Whitebeard. Marines killed Whitebeard, him and his crew just finished the job.
He can tank a lot of attacks, but it's nothing we haven't seen from Luffy, Zoro or even Usopp. Characters in One Piece in general have crazy endurance. Would have helped if we actually saw him doing something pwnsome.
Would have liked it better if some if his fighting power was featured more. Currently, it's more about character implications, word of mouth.
Oda isn't perfect, and I would have liked if some things were handled differently. But he can't just show everyone we want to see fighting. That's where anime should come in, I think, and expand upon the material. It's too bad they have a limited budget and the lack of good ideas.

Propaganda
But seriously, we were told there are pirates who do a lot of damage to civilians. And WG is good to countries that join it. If they behave, that is. It's a lot less risk than becoming a pirate. If you become a marine, your only enemies are pirates and revolutionaries and maybe some countries that don't stand a chance. If you're a pirate, everyone is your potential enemy.
he is,but he still treasure his comrads,while hodi didn't thought one second before condemn them all.

The difference is that Croc will end up playing a role later anyway and does have an unfortunate chance of legit redemption.
Yeah.. agreed. Perfectly unredeemable.
As for Arlong… he's not redeemed we just have more insight into what made him who he is. He still chose the wrong path and never showed any remorse.
He's not gonna resurface, if that's what you mean. No, he wasn't redeemed, but he's not meant to be. We saw why he did the horrible shit he did, and the real reason was to give Nami the strength to know what happened and overcome it. Giving him redemption would ruin all of that.
neither did croco,he saved Ace mostly because his hatred for the The marines was bigger than whatever resentment he had against luffy and WB
That's another thing: Since when did Croc honestly hated the goverment and the marines? That came out of left field for me, to be honest.
These are all completely terrible as well btw. To be honest I just wanted to point this out. "Use of space and art" lol.
Why do you use Mangareader? Batoto has better translation and might convey what you need more clearly.
And I don't think complaining here would be a waste of time. This is the chapter thread, do you expect quality discussion?
And although I don't believe making Marines as badass as pirate 24/7 is awfully important, having Vice Admirals become hype fuel is still something that can be seen as a valid criticism. Especially in the case of Smoker.
1. Matter of opinion about bleach art- design of some of characters(Rukia Bankai lately) is great in my opinion. Its pointless to discuss that imo as I just shared opinion.
2. I opened mangareader more often so when I type "one piece" in browser fastest suggestions are those from mangareader- If somebody cares so deeply about proper translation of page I used then she/he can search on her/ his own.
3. Smoker is not part of this chapter not part of this arc, so you are very off from topic also Vice Admirals at this point in story should not be real danger at least for top strawhats/ supernovas/ WB commanders.
Only likes of Doberman and Onigumo I see as really deadly threats against current M3.
I probably missed a similar entry on the thread, but does anyone have any clue as to why the chapter is called "Palm"? I know it's palm as in the palm of your hand, but that still doesn't make sense. Any ideas?
also Vice Admirals at this point in story should not be real danger at least for top strawhats/ supernovas/ WB commanders.

How did you reached that conclusion…?
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also, Bastille is the likes of Doberman and Onigumo, so yeah...
All of this was awesome… but doesn't change the fact that he was used twice to hype someone else or to be saved by someone else after he makes an epic entrance to save the day.
If this happens after his speech to Luffy and after all the time he is missing with the others I will be pissed. Even more if it will be done in a cover story, which I doubt, and just to give Jinbe the show.
And that is just not Sanji... We have half of the SHs missing in this big arc against the first major villian in the NW.
I had said it already in past chapters... What will happen after the defeat? Will there be a party with the royals and Co like in every arc... But with half of the SHs missing? Feels strange in my eyes... Even more if ever since the TS all SHs are on the sidelines for other characters bar Luffy... We still got to see nothing from them that much
But Oda may suprise me... But don't be mad at me, if I'm sceptical
I can hardly be mad at you for being passionate about a character xD.
I just disagree on the points you've brought up. Sanji, a strategist/martial artist, entered two fights where he had no idea what he was up against, and he entered both of them crippled. He was injured before he fought Vergo (not his fault), and he was injured before fighting Doflamingo (kind of his fault, though I'm willing to believe CoO can be distracted to the point of not being able to react, especially when he's got his #1 distraction in front of him).
He had no idea who Vergo was much less how proficient in armament the guy would be, and he had no idea that Doflamingo could just straight up stop him in mid air with strings. I don't lay the fault of these situations on Oda's writing of Sanji as a character. I lay the fault of these situations on Oda's inability to use other characters besides Sanji.
Am I being clear? My issue is not with how Oda writes Sanji's character, but rather that he only seems willing to put Sanji in these situations vs any other Strawhat. Sanji responds to all of these situations exactly how I would expect him to.
(Times I've had a problem with Sanji's character? When he couldn't get a grasp of his nosebleed problem and didn't show any real signs of trying to get it together.)
That's another thing: Since when did Croc honestly hated the goverment and the marines? That came out of left field for me, to be honest.
Didn't he try to find Pluton,so he can fight the World Government? In Alabasta they aren't so bad,but now…
Maybe he have deep connections with the revolutionaries.Better than "I'm Vegeta pirate and I hate the police,because i'ma pirate.I will help the protagonist now".

No, he wanted Pluton to take over the world. Not the same thing.
Also, any deep connections to revolutionaries are going to come off as completly random, at this point in storyline. Suddenly, everyone is a revolutionary, or something along those lines.

actually if i remember correctly he wanted pluton to have enough military power to defend his Utopic pirate-friendly new country from the WG and then acquire enough power to go against the WG itself,it was a little more elaborated than "take over the world"(not by much though)
No, he wanted Pluton to take over the world. Not the same thing.

Well,he knows Ivankov from somewhere.And he start helping Whitebeard and Luffy after the reveal that Luffy is Dragon son.So not that random really.
Ah, so you missed that fight between him and Jozu directly after that reveal? Or do I remember it wrong, and that was anime filler…?
He definitely fought Jozu, cause then Doflamingo comes in and paralyzes Jozu for a moment.
I think though Croc was just emotionally disappointed. We know for a fact Whitebeard kicked his ass at some point because Croc says "You weren't this weak when you beat me!" Which has to imply Whitebeard was still in decent shape when he made short work of Croc. Seeing Whitebeard lose to someone else so easily (because remember Ace's execution was the equivalent of the Whitebeard pirates losing the war) infuriated Crocodile, so he saved Ace.
That and yeah, he didn't really want the Marines to just keep manhandling everyone as they were kind of doing during the whole war. Because let's face it, he's a pirate, and deep down pirates don't want the Marines to win, even if its not in their direct interest.
Quick question..
Does anyone know what's up with the Powermanga releases lately? Since the start of May the quality and frequency of chapters have dropped quite a bit.
It really sucks having to rely on Mangastream/panda scans for so long..

Didn't they dropped in quality, because CCC stopped translating for them? At least, I think that's what happened, I pay little attention to the scanlation business, to be honest.
