Chapter 753: " Battle"

I think the only important part of this chapter, was the Tontatta scene and that's it.
-
I think the only important part of this chapter, was the Tontatta scene and that's it.
That's it? Nothing else was even remotely important? Bellamy? The fighters working together to get Luffy to the top?
Nah, those didn't matter at all.
Praise our king, First fist of the Sea, DonMarimo DoBuggino exploring Bonesbeard.
If someone seriously claimed that Whitebeard was running a vibrator business as his second job you'd ignore him as a troll.

I love all these moments for guys like Abdullah & Jeet or Dagama this chapter. Such characters would only appear as one-note bad guy fodder in any other story - like they were initially introduced here too - but despite how they look, Oda turns it around and still gives them their own awesome scenes. Think about it, in how many series would you see the protagonist getting angry on behalf of some dude that looks like friggin' Eggman?
I also wonder if they are going to ride Agyo next, lol.
Usoppu akbar!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think the preparations are just about done
I mean what else is there? I guess Luffy and the others still have to get to Doflamingo, but for what's it worth, the marines are occupied with Sabo, Koala is gathering evidence, most of the colosseum fighters are set, the officers are there too…maybe one or two chapters more? Getting Diamante and Trebol were they need to be, some more Luffy - Law - Cavendish antics and the dwarves eventually breaking out from the factory
I probably forgot some things, but if feels like stuff is about to go down -
Bellamy's scene was particularly short and came to not that much. . .which was totally done voluntarily by Oda.
Bellamy will be this arc's Brownbeard: betrayed by his "master", desperate, he will make Luffy emotionally resonate with him and fuel his desire to stomp Dofla in the shnutz. That oughta be good, I hope and expect.
Bellamy is my favorite character this arc so that's why it was big for me to see him again.

Nah, those didn't matter at all.
Okay, what would have changed if we just got that double spread, instead of every little exchange, considering that the whole thing is probably gonna get off-screened? Or at least mostly off-screned?
And Bellamy is almost certainly un-important. The most we are going to get out of him, is him slowly bleeding to death, considering who he is talking to.
-
Dellinger is one dangerous mo-fo.
Luffy and Kyros team up makes me happy.
-
Loved the Bellamy and Dofla scene. Law's ''The bull had a broader back…'' thought was hilarious and there was some nice development with several plots this chapter. I think Kyros (due mostly to only having one leg) won't be able to take Diamante himself and it'll wind up being Rebecca and Kyros vs Diamante.
But, after starting the Law flashback 2 weeks ago, it's a cruel tease on Oda's part to keep holding it off. We should have continued the flashback...
-
just READ THE NEW ONE PIECE. it very. and . derringer look cute but den scared. i like his hat because it looks funny. POOR BELAMY. dolfmingo is a meanie. poor belamu. luffy look funny riding the horse and WHO ARE THOSE TWO PEOPLE HE WITH. WHO ARE THOSE TWO PEOPLE HE RIDING WITH. ODA

It's really awesome to see Doflamingo's officers in action…..super pumped for Kyros vs. Diamante.
WHO ARE THOSE TWO PEOPLE HE WITH. WHO ARE THOSE TWO PEOPLE HE RIDING WITH. ODA
Cavendish and Kyros.
-
Isn't it time to face the fact that the breaks will take its toll on the pace and if one has trouble with it, volume reading is the way to go or at least read 4-5 chapters at a time.
-
Or you know, some people are bored to see characters running everywhere since 80+ chapters, or maybe they are bored to read meaningless talk each chapter. The only interesting stuff in this chapter was the talk between Dofla and Bellamy. Then it's the usual stuff with switching scene every page, people running, people screaming, clashing, Luffy going for Dofla and jet gattling fodders. Repeat x 30
goooood stuff.By how hyperbolically you emphasize that every week, I really think you should give One Piece a rest, try and go back to it after a couple months (or. . .maybe a full year?), and if you still feel the same, then you obviously know what that'll mean.
Hey, get the complaints. But I think you're obviously overexaggerating everything out of sheer disgust at the current situation, and that's no good sign usually.
edit: Don Chinjao, Elizabello, Sai, Hajrudin, Blue Gilly and Ideo should be more than enough for the doflamingo officers
Doubt it. Don Chinjao, maybe. Sai, Hajrudin and Ideo have already been shown as being leaps and bounds BELOW Chinjao. And Elizabello only has the punch, if he can't throw it, he's done for.
I honestly think they'll all fall against the officers. if this week's anything to go by, they're stronger, as expected.
Now, to whom the real fights should go? That, I don't know. Not many people left. Kinemon? Koala? Robin? Barto?
Okay, what would have changed if we just got that double spread, instead of every little exchange, considering that the whole thing is probably gonna get off-screened? Or at least mostly off-screned?
The officers have barely done anything, action wise. Why are we complaining about Oda trying to change that? Dellinger got some exposition to both his personality (half amused kid, half psycho) and his fighting style. He took down two guys in a single chapter.
Gladius got to show another use of his powers (setting mines). We saw the officers are clearly above the lower tiered Colosseum fighters, and we'll see how the stronger ones fare (Ideo, Sai, Gilly).
We got some good stuff from Dagama. Nice design, lives up to his strategist epithet, gets some heroic bloodshed moment; if you enjoy these characters, moments like this are expected to be good. I would've killed for Bastille or any other third or fourth tiered marine to get a good moment that takes very little time from the actual narration. Something we might agree was lacking these last weeks.
No matter how you look at it, as far as this is from prime One Piece, it's a vast improvement over what we've been getting.
And Bellamy is almost certainly un-important. The most we are going to get out of him, is him slowly bleeding to death, considering who he is talking to.
That's just wrong. Oda cares a ton about these characters, just like Brownbeard, and they provide an emotional core to the arcs by being tied on a more passionate level to the big bads, and working as victims. It's been like this for quite some time. So, no, these are not unimportant characters to Oda's eyes, like it or not.
Oh, and no, non of these characters is as irrelevant as Bastille. Just a single look at how Oda seems to enjoy every second he draws someone from the Colosseum (except Suleiman. He hates him) and how boringly he portrayed Bastille, who just stood there, recited some by-the-book lines, some exposition lines, and just did the must unoriginal, run of the mill sword swing at Sabo, should make it all painfully obvious on who he considers relevant.

I wonder if luffy will fight doffy by himself or it'll be a duel fight. I think doffy underestimates luffy too much, he's shown his power to him and luffy is a smart fighter.
Duel is a fight between two people :)
But i know what you mean. On the one hand it seems like Doffla should be way above Luffy, but on the other hand he needs to make progress towards Admirals and Yonkous so seems like Doffla is great stepping stone as he's somewhere in between people like Law and Younkous. And to be hones some other people like Croc were above Luffy too, but he managed to beat them in the end. Maybe Law will help a bit then will get beat, and then Luffy will finish Doffla alone.

Because the fact that they are in group battle, and not getting one on one fights should be a clear indication to you that Oda intends to skip a lot including them.
He has off-screened fights that might be considered even more important, why not that one?

If the emotional core of this arc are coloseum fighters, then I'm afraid I completly missed the point.
Especially since most of them are horrible, or stupid people, and I do not feel bad for them at all.

Three main ones, yeah, probably. The others, however? I'm not as sure as you are about it.

Next chapter I want Boo and Orlumbus to go down. -
And dangers of Birdcage got undermined… again.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Oh, that is pretty cool. Kudos.
Dellinger, the human dart. Fun times.
-
Okay, I enjoyed the Tontta Dwarfs getting involve and sending the message to their comrades about being lied and tricked . That's a plotline that's moving closer to a resolution. I'm glad that the executive officers are kicking the asses of the coliseum fighters instead of the other way around.

The most? Exactly, the most. Luffy's already going to the palace to kick Doffy's ass back into the Void Century, if he gets up there to see him murdering Bellamy, he's gonna go absolutely ape shit. How is that at all unimportant?
-
-
Just gonna say that I really enjoyed the chapter! I don't mind, in the least, that we've been "running" for a good amount of chapters, the content has been fun and interesting, and STILL moving the story along (albeit a tad slowly) while giving some spotlight to the other characters (towns people, Tontatta, SH crew, Executive Officers and Coliseum fighters). Maybe Oda's making this "running" last so long so the anime can have a giant pool of expanded and implied filler or something…so I kinda fear for the manga-readers that are HATING this...'cause the anime is probably gonna have a field day w/ all this running and "fodder" fights. I, for one, am enjoying the ride. ^^
-
So, no more running for Collesuem fighters - they all gotta fight together against the DD family executives while Luffy & co go on ahead
Farul Vs Bellamy
Cavendish Vs Trebol
Kyros Vs Diamante
Luffy Vs DoFlamingo
Franky Vs Senior Pink
Zoro Vs Picagonna be some good matches. Bellamy will just listen to Luffy talk about dreams n stuff and convert to Luffys side. or maybe he'll save Luffy from DD's clone
Can't wait.

I would disagree :P
Ideo and Sai both got blindsided and were still conscious out of the ring. It's evident how Sai/Ideo/Blue Gilly were the only ones not getting raped this chapter as they're the strongest. -

Damn, Dellinger is scary. I like it.
The only thing i dont get, is what hell is going on the last page? That Cavendish attack i can't comprehend. -

He has off-screened fights that might be considered even more important, why not that one?
He still gets to show the strength of the officers. We have yet to see how strong Machvise, Lao G and Baby 5 (by herself against human opponents) are. If this serves as a proper way to showcase the officers' abilities, then why not?
Dellinger alone has taken down 2 gladiators.
I agree that little character moment for Dagama was nice. So was Dellinger.

God forbid if Oda makes a side-character get a small awesome moment against one of the officers. No, only important characters should do anything.
This is like complaining about the Yama vs. Genbo fight.

What kind of a showcase is that, when only two of them actually shown something new?
And please. Most of those people got literaly one-shotted at the coloseum. I cannot consider executives fighting against them a show of power.

@Nex:
"Set-up"
"Uneventful"Really people? You're so predictable. I knew while reading it these complaints would be waiting here.
People have been wanting more Marineford, well ever since the big battle finally started, this arc has been operating just like Marineford: constant cutting across the battlefield, small snippets of fights, focus on Luffy pushing towards a goal with lots of allies helping him get there. It's the exact same MO. And just like Marineford, while it can feel "slow" week to week, if you reread the arc as a whole (which I did last week) it all flows perfectly. Oda has always churned out arcs that work better when read straight through than week to week, and Dressrosa is no different.
Before I get to my point, I will say that the myriad of plot points makes these chapters much denser to read in bulk than the earlier arcs. I've been trying to reread some of the post timeskip arcs, and the vast amount of info in the volumes makes its tougher to get through multiple chapters in one sitting. The chapters nowadays seem much more suited for weekly reading per chapter, at least that's how I feel.
So first off, I think you're comparison to Marineford is misplaced just because a number of people didn't like the way Marineford operated, and many excused it as less of a stylistic way to write as more of a way to show a war without revealing what all the major powers can do just yet or having major losses that can't occur at the moment. But, like you mentioned, it is more of a style Oda's been writing lately.
But with that said, and as someone that did like the chapter, I can get the complaints. The spoiler thread used the Skypiea arc during the Elimination game, but I see this more as the siege on Enies Lobby or the block of chapters from when Zoro/Sanji/Kinemon/Brook met Smiley and were trying to run away from it to the set up of the fights in Punk Hazard. It's not like the plot wasn't moving during those chapters just like the plot is moving in the last few chapters, but I feel like if there's anything Oda should be telling and not showing or condensing it'd be chapters like these.
Now this becomes a matter of opinion, but I think there's stuff that can be cut in the recent chapters. The trying to trap Luffy and Law scene was kinda superfluous and ended up just being a tease that led nowhere. As cool as the choreography was, showing Sabo taking down Bastille and other Marine fodder felt superfluous. Even with this chapter, as nice as it was to see Bellamy again (and quite honestly I have no idea when a good time for him to show up would have been), the scene definitely felt tacked on instead of organic.
But utlimately, negativity sucks, whether it's people complaining about the chapter or people complaining about people complaining about the chapter. This particular discussion should probably just be dropped, though with this post I guess I'm part of the problem.
-

And please. Most of those people got literaly one-shotted at the coloseum. I cannot consider executives fighting against them a show of power.
Yeah, because Oda won't focus on the other officers' abilities at all.
We don't even know Machvise's Devil Fruit ability name yet.
… Luffy, who is still a main character, when I last checked haven't done anything of note for the last thirty chapters or so.
And I'm sorry, but Dagama isn't that interesting that I would forget about that.
What does Luffy doing "nothing" has to do with this?
-
Because the fact that they are in group battle, and not getting one on one fights should be a clear indication to you that Oda intends to skip a lot including them.
He has off-screened fights that might be considered even more important, why not that one?
No, I think you misunderstood what I meant.
Oda usually does a good job at giving exposure to his villains, and that includes showing their powers and quirks. I felt the Dofla family needed more of those, and I've been going on and on week after week how I think that's exactly what the Colosseum fighters are there about: hype the Officers up.
Yes, I think they'll be off-paneled, or taken out rather easily. But that works mighty fine for me if, afterwards, we get their real fights. I expect the officers to go down to more relevant characters.
If they're to be settled with the 3-4 strongest Colosseum guys, then I fully expect them to have a half-full chapter fight to themselves, though I heavily doubt that's how it's gonna go down. I expect Robin, Rebeca, Kinemon, maybe Kanjuro as a "hello I'm Kanjuro and these're my powers!" scenario, Koala, Barto and Cavendish getting a real fight. Expect.
Bottom line, I think what Oda did, specially for Dellinger but also for the rest of the officers was really useful if he intends to give them a fight later on.
I agree that little character moment for Dagama was nice. So was Dellinger.
Doesn't change the fact that they were both pretty pointless arc-wise.
Dellinger is part of the main villain group. These are usually as pointless as offerings for fights. If these were a regular arc and Brook, Nami, Chopper and Sanji were here, you know what each of these guys would be used for: mandatory 1 on 1's with the SH's. With this arc having half the crew out of comission, it becomes a bit harder to grasp how they'll be used, but I honestly doubt it be to get stalled off-panel by these Colosseum guys. I mean, Señor Pink has the same rank as these guys, and he's already facing Franky. I don't see why these guys won't share the same fate.
Now, Dagama and co. are a sticky issue. People either love them or hate the fact that they seem to have totally hijacked the manga for the past couple months. Or both things at the same time. I feel that, I really do.
Me, I've been very vocal about my love for these guys. Everything works for me about them: design, quirks, ability, running gags. They're also part of the best post time skip stuff we've gotten so far. So, seeing them take center place during the arc's climax and work with the main protagonist toward the goal of taking down the main bad, while, during the way, getting the chance to interact both with Luffy and among themselves, sort their differences and end up working together AND getting to battle the main villain squad? That's absolutely awesome in my eyes.
On the other hand, I get that these are really secondary characters, and we won't be seeing much of them (except, maybe, till the last arc) this side of Cavendish and Bartolomeo, so Oda giving them so much panel time, panel time that up till this chapter consisted of mostly run, shout and kick the occasional goon in the face. . .yeah, even I got tired of it.
So I see where you're coming from, but I still really appreciate when Oda actually gives them GOOD stuff to be a part of, like this week.
(And I'll never forget this. Never. Thank you, Oda).
If the emotional core of this arc are coloseum fighters, then I'm afraid I completly missed the point.
Especially since most of them are horrible, or stupid people, and I do not feel bad for them at all.
No, Bellamy is one of the (many) emotional cores of this arc. Just like someone as unimportant as Brownbeard was during Punk Hazard who ended up being the last push for Luffy to totally wreck Caesar's face beyond recognition, and who had a moment where he stood by himself against a much bigger foe for what he thought was right.
Oda lives-off those moments, and I already smell Bellamy having one of those relatively soon. And I'm all for that, so I think he's relevant all right.
The Colosseum guys are mostly gag ridden, except King Riku or Hack. The rest are mostly your usual gang of very loud hooligans. Of course only a handful of them have been portrayed as ultimately relevant, but the rest work fairly well as a team while still having decent individuality to them (Dagama, Abdullah & Jeet, Ucy). Yes, they're mostly stupid, I guess that's the point, and I don't think you need to feel bad for them seeing how half of them are either criminals or violent fight junkies or terrorists, lol. But they're doing heroic stuff to end Dofla's reign of terror, and I don't think that was portrayed particularly bad in here.
Three main ones, yeah, probably. The others, however? I'm not as sure as you are about it.
Oda likes them. He's had fun with them, even in small doses.
Sadly, Oda didn't seem to have any fun with Bastille. He didn't even have the mandatory character quirk or running gag. He was there, he exposed dialogue, he got taken out without even naming his attack. And I'm sad cause his design is pretty damned fantastic, but Oda didn't like him enough, I guess.
You can tell who Oda likes and who don't by how he portrays them, even if in the bigger scheme of things they're all as relevant and game changing as a freaking ant.
-
Surprisingly, best page of the chapter was the cover. I couldn't help but imagine Jinbe defending the little lost kitten with an outstretched finger point and shouting a single word.
My time off these forums is still well spent.
God forbid if Oda makes a side-character get a small awesome moment against one of the officers. No, only important characters should do anything.
This is like complaining about the Yama vs. Genbo fight.
I wouldn't say it's nearly as dragged out as the Skypeia arc. We're already heading toward the confrontations, along with Law's flashback at some point or another, and Oda is busy fitting everything into these chapters before the climax. I don't know if the climax really requires so much buildup, but it's good to build the hype in the meantime.
-
Gladius got to show another use of his powers (setting mines). We saw the officers are clearly above the lower tiered Colosseum fighters, and we'll see how the stronger ones fare (Ideo, Sai, Gilly).
Because the fact that they are in group battle, and not getting one on one fights should be a clear indication to you that Oda intends to skip a lot including them.He has off-screened fights that might be considered even more important, why not that one?

Guaranteed Oda will not be skipping their fights. Sure we might have some off screened free for all fighting going on, precisely because it barely goes anywhere, but when there are particularly 5 of them left, it will be a nice 5 v 5. Skypiea's all out fight wasn't off screened. Oda off screened many of the war's fights for the sake of hiding peoples powers. Punk Hazard was an issue with it but it really wasn't that bad tbh. Ideo, Sai, Blue Gilly, Don Chinjao and the King are the most fleshed out fighters. And Dellinger is completely not pointless, Dagama sure, but Dellinger is Dofla's subordinate. Would you say the same for Jyabura or any other CP9 member that only appeared in Enies lobby and not water 7?
Dont worry, I hate with what he did to Bastille and Jesus. Down playing the colosseum fighters to hype the Doflamingo Family is kind of okay in my eyes, only because they need it heavily. I didn't need to know that Sabo could thrash a VA in 2 seconds just because.

I'm leaving in few minutes, so just very quick:
I did not said that the characters were pointless, but that the scene itself was.
I would've actually prefered one-on-one fight including Dellinger, then what we got here.
If you are going to run the pace into the ground, at least give me something in return. Instead of some half-assed three panels for character fight scenes, give me chapter for each one.
At least then it would be some development for those characters. Scenes, not moments.
-
Shit, Suleiman is already out for the count. I wanted to see more of him.
In the last page did Cavendish made a path on the wall with his attack?
-
@Gia:
Ideo, Sai, Blue Gilly, Don Chinjao and the King are the most fleshed out fighters.
Ideo and Blue Gilly weren't fleshed out at all. In fact, Dagama was more important than both of them.
-
Dellinger can multiple AND impale himself into other people? It's like Oda made him just to satisfy all my fetishes. Hot diggity!
This chapter felt weird. If you were to tell me that we had actually skipped a chapter and this was really 754, I'd believe you. Just feels like a lot of things were skipped, mainly Law's flashback. Not that I give three sweaty balls about Law or his life, but the last chapter kind of ended with that in the foreground.. kind of cheap to bait-and-switch that on us now. This whole arc has been nothing but bait-and-switch now that I think about it.
What was even the point of that whole water tunnel/Doflamingo clone trap? Or the TWO OR THREE times we've been teased with Law's flashback? This arc's pacing is all over the place.
-
@Miss:
Or the TWO OR THREE times we've been teased with Law's flashback? This arc's pacing is all over the place.
Actually, now that it's happened a second time, I'm starting to find the whole Law flashback fake-out thing to be fairly amusing. I hope there's at least one more.
I agree that little character moment for Dagama was nice. So was Dellinger.
Doesn't change the fact that they were both pretty pointless arc-wise.
Other people have touched on this already, but this is the most bafflingly horrible reasoning. Just about any 'little character moment' is going to be 'pointless' to the arc its in, in the sense you seem to mean here. That's what makes it a 'little' moment. Yet a story that had no such moments, purely because they would be 'pointless', would be a much, much worse story.
-
First af all…WELTMEISTER!!!Hahaha cool chapter. No idea why some people have complaints. It is a awesome chapter, but, i guess, only if one cares...like me. To see the top officers and the colliseum team go ham is very nice and i am excited what we see drom them.Cavendish was awesome. I was wondering why he said that they have overweight, while farul was still doing fine. But then i had to laugh, where he said that farul can only ride BEAUTIFUL with two riders Bwuhahaha. Ah Cavendish...no idea what he did on the last page, stardust prince.Finally kyros said it...but what exactly is he meaning by "losing to that human body"? Ah whatever, awesome chap.
-
So, Habuka was chosen to fight Trebol, this should be fun. And don't see what's the deal between Doflamingo and Bellamy…related?friends?
boyfriend? -
Luffy mentions Daruma in this chapter. Isn't that the name of the cookie cutter from Hody pirates?
