Chapter 764: "White Monster"

desa

I finally came to the conclusion that Doflamingo has one eye or something is wrong with his left eye.

Oda keeps showing Doflamingo eyes like something is there we should take notice of, Doflamingo always wearing glasses, or cloth wrapped over his eye, but then Oda revealed Dofla right eye but close up. I came to 3 conclusions
1- Doflmaingo has a eye problem where his eyes is weak to light, this explain why he wore sunglasses all the time even when he was a kid.

2- something is wrong with Doflmaingo left eye or he's missing his left eye. I came to this conclusion with Dofla Jolly Roger which has it's left eye crossed out.

3- it may be nothing, just me overthinking cuz I'm bored.

Could be fun if he lost it in the window incident.

Could someone please make a GIF of the Joker from The Dark Knight (see spoiler below)

And just add kid Law to be near him?

i hope rosi's death is not just dofla stabbing him from behind or anything like that. i want him to actually fight dofla for real. a good way to see how strong rosi actually is.

@DARK_RITUAL:

Well what if you don't use English? Change it to Diablo.
Monkey Diablo Luffy or Monkey Diablo Dragon. Perfect.

Anyways I don't beleive D means devil.

I agree, Diablo sounds better than Devil or Demon

What kind of animal is that?
It's body looks like a dragon, it's head looks like camel head, it's eyes looks like dogs eye, it's nose look like a human nose, it's ear and mouth look like a dogs ear and goat mouth.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Neverending_Story_characters#Falkor_the_Luckdragon"]Faknor]([URL) is a Luck dragon from an ooooold movie

LOL that was pretty much what I thought when I first saw Neverending Story. It may be a bad pic.
For the most part the head was mostly dog with a semi-human face hybrid type on a dragon's body. I remember watching the show (okay I cheated to see when it came out, didn't remember) when I was 14 (1984) and thinking WTF, the dragon's design was one thing of the movie I didn't like

here's one where Falcor (the goodluck dragon) acting more dog-like

a better shot of the body

........... :wassat:did I really just look up pics for a movie that came out in 1984?!! :blink:

Dang..... I make a joke about "Monkey Devil Dragon" could look like a monkey version of the goodluck dragon and go down memory lane as a result!

@Katzztar:

I had to think on that one, because I was also thinking of the invisibility DF was also good for espionage, though not as good as Violet's … but that's just being unseen, people can still hear Absa and feel him when they hit. So nope Absa is still out of the running. Bleuno, with his door DF, ...he could see the space even when he's gone through a 'door' right?
http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130629174737/onepiece/images/thumb/0/04/Doa_Doa_no_Mi_Infobox.png/220px-Doa_Doa_no_Mi_Infobox.png
So that would cover hiding seeing, hearing and feeling him. Yeah that trumps others, heck he could spy on someone and they never know he's 'there'

Yeah, Blueno can definitely observe his surroundings in his Air Door. Ridiculously convenient, not even talking about the fact that there is nothing that could stop him from entering any building he wants - undetected. He could walk right into Mariejoies, kill every Tenryubito in the palace, reveal their uber secret treasure and walk away without a scratch. Imagine someone like him is after your head!

So, espionage power level ranking:

Blueno - see above
Viola - mindreading (!!), "nice to have" super vision
Law - Doors shouldn't be a problem for him as well, but he has no invisibility component like Blueno. Ranked higher than Absa because of the body switch technique.
Absalom - obvious
Nami - Seems there is no drawback to her invisibility, but I do wonder why she didn't use it in Punk Hazard. There must be something.
Bon - So many possibilities, too bad that he has to touch the person first in order to copy the appearance.
Lafitte - Mindcontrol > mindreading, but I guess he can't just hypnotize anyone just like that.
Robin - Not comparable to Viola, but growing eyes and ears (!) is something.
Rosinante - Has potential, but so far nothing to write home about
Pica - Limited version of Blueno's

One organisation controlling a couple of the above would be totally broken.

@Fraco:

@Monquito:

Not Bellamy in the flashback, that alone already makes it the best FB so far.

Ahhh No Bellamy and you guys are happy, I want Bellamy to join the Strawhats and him not showing up in this flashback despite the emphasis that Oda has made with Bellamy's character and his admiration to Doflamingo just keeps pointing out to Bellamy and the possibilities of him getting his own flashback separated from this one of Doffy's and Law.

I know he has one strong point against this possibilities and is the similarities between Devil Fruits, but besides that nothing else can go against it, he will have no place to go after this arc, he needs to explain his trip to Skypea since that was left on the air and Oda can make him likable in the blink of an eye, but If he joins Law's crew I'll be happy too.

Add to Blueno's ability is that he can also create an actual 'door' using "door door" in a solid wall, giving his allies entry
[hide]
[/hide]
and that when he goes through "air door", he can go into what seems like another dimension but its still part of this world, he can observe but not interact with the real world but not only do other people not see Blueno, they cannot attack him while he's there.

Over all, the Doa Doa no Mi is very, very useful but it was underused

DynamiteShikoku

maybe the doa dia fruit takes lots of energy or blueno cant stay for too long in the other dimension. there must be a drawback.

makes me want oda to eventually release a DF book later when one piece is finished. just like harry potter's fantastic beast book but about DF.

It could still have applications in battle. Maybe he can control the sound to an extent and create soundwaves to attack with.

Using soundwaves to attack is the last thing I would expect from a Soundless Man.

Oh yeah, Perona! Ghost Network was basically like Viola's ability. I would rank her below Bon.

Unlikely, even when he was completely beaten he still had the energy to save Lucci and the others from the Buster Call. i guess the drawback is simply that the fruit has almost no offensive potential, at least compared to other fruits.

enkidude

enel's techniques should put him or his fruit somewhere on the list. outrageous offensive potential, logia, insane CoO sense and sniping. wondering outloud, what happens if enel dies on the moon? will the fruit respawn there? will it somehow influence the growth of other devil fruits because of it's presence? electricity is basically the lifeforce behind everything else in the world, i don't see why the properties that the df emulate would be, or if they are, any different.

sugar's extremely hax fruit as well. i think usopp confirmed it, but does a person remember not remembering when the person in question is returned to normal? i would hate experiencing that or being involved with that fruit in anyway.

senor pink's seems better for espionage than pica's.

kuma's fruit.

brooke's fruit gives you two lives, and the ability to scout using your soul (risky though)

@PhoenixBoosh:

Not really when it comes to spying, he can observe like Violet and Perona but unlike them, his 'soul form' (no idea what to call the astral projection like powers) quite visible. He'd end up scaring people and making the run away. Violet sees from a distance so can remain unseen. Perona's ghost form is visible but I think she can make some of her ghosts turn invisible.

Joy_Boy's_Will

With the line that D. is also called "God's natural enemy" and doflamingo not wanting anything to do with a D. even if the D. were an ally, I think it's pretty much fact that the clan of D. is in opposition of the Celestial Dragons and the WG. With this being said I think we can make some conclusions/hypothesis.

The "Great Kingdom" that created the ponteglyphs are related to the clan of D. Perhaps the Great Kingdoms linage is the family of D.
The great Kingdom only inscribed information on the ponteglyphs that was related to their history, ideas and fight/weapons vs. the 20 kings. Joyboy must have been a member of the Great Kingdom, or an ally. Maybe Joyboy is the ancestor's of the D's.
-If this is true maybe the will of the D. refers to Joyboy's will, or the will of the Great Kingdom. This would imply the Will of the D. to mean freedom from the WG and protection of friends(from joyboys ponteglyph to poseidon).
-It would only make sense that luffy would then fulfill Joyboys promise to fishman island.

Since Cora-san knows so much about the D's, i expect he will end up telling Law what he knows. Perhaps this will lead to proof that law will affiliating himself with the D's.
I've always been curious that Law's Jolly Rodger and Doffy's are the only ones not to depict the skull and crossbones. These are the only two characters who know of the D's before they start their own crew(that we know of). Maybe the smily face is a reference to the D's, that would explain Doffy crossing it out and Law putting a sun around the symbol. Maybe the symbol refers to joyboy(makes sense at a superficial level).

The next chapter should find a way to link Doffy's call, Law getting the Ope Ope no Mi and Vergo being a marine. I think Doffy is calling telling them to return because he has found a devil fruit that will cure law(but he intends to give it to someone more expendable because he wants immortality). He will also use his possession of the Ope Ope no Mi to blackmail the Gorosei. The Gorosei tell sengoku(and by extension Cora-san) to steal the fruit. Cora-san will realize that his only chance to cure law will be with that fruit. Cora-san will steal the fruit and attempt to run with law, while Vergo discovers his treachery and tells Doffy. Vergo and Doffy find Cora-san and Law. Cora-san knows he can't win so he shoves the fruit into Law's mouth while pretending that Law is just his hostage. Doffy kills Cora-san.

Just my thoughts.

Well, Viola is not just a mind reader, she has all kinds of abilities related to eyes. And all the abilities related to Sugar's DF can be connected through the concept of "kids play with toys, but forget about them when they grow up" a.k.a. the "Toy Story Plot DF".

A Soundless Human using soundwaves to attack is an oxymoron. It's like if Viola's DF made her blind.

I'm not saying he can deffinitely control soundwaves. It may be that that particular ability is saved for some other character in the future. But despite him calling himself soundless human, there's still an off chance that he can somehow trap sound and use his ability to amplify it. Or maybe he can confuse people's senses by creating multiple smaller no-sound zones. Or whatever.

Devil fruit users rarelly show the full extent of their ability on it's first use.

allbluebro

It's not an Oxymoron at all because his ability would likely give him control over sound waves so like it was allready said if he can't control them he may be able to "release" them in an offensive manner. Furthermore if Cora has the ability to absorb sound he may have the ability to play back anything he has ever heard (he can torture Doffy with his Mothers voice or something.)

Again, Soundless Human.

He can manipulate silence, which is the lack of sound. Sound is the opposite of his ability.

It's like saying that Blackbeard can manipulate light because darkness is the lack of light.

Apoo, probably.

But if you want examples of possible applications of Rosi's fruit, then he could make his enemies deaf, use a pistol and silence the shots, make his own or somebody else's body silent to prevent detection…

It's very useful for sneak attacks.

kouch_lee

Probably the slowest poke around, and totally unrelated to the chapter and I'm also NOT going anywhere with this. . .but I just realized Law's 3 top crewmembers are Orca, Penguin and a polar bear. All three animals from the same ecosystem (I don't dare to say north pole, south pole or what have you). Too bad Jean Bart breaks that thematic harmony.

That's it. Nothing to see here. Keep on doing your stuff.

Silent man might be capable of making spheres without air or made out of some substance/ material that is soundproofing as air is transferring sound and there is quite a number of materials for soundproofing if thats a proper word.

So as that barrier can suck in sound maybe Rosi can store it and relase what was swallowed in barrier as Razh suggested. Uncontrolled but concentrated relase-blast of all kinds of different noises at once would be very confusing for an enemy.

Thats just one idea..

If anything his one move with DF just made me wonder what can be done with it and I would not yet limit it in any way or try to go into detailed possibilities of using it.

For example I didnt expected at first that Diamante thanks to his fruit can make a mace into his belt - an example of how far(and not far) from simplicity of being flutter man it went in case of Diamantes fruit.

At least since Corazon eaten fruit he doesnt have to listen to anybody if he doesnt want to - I would like to have it at times in crowded places, perfect fruit for book readers

SunnyBlue

In retrospect, it's kinda funny how most of us though Corazon would be the doctor that saves Law life which is the most predictable scenario. Turns out he isn't a doctor at all. Gotta give Oda credit for that.
While it's heavily implied that the Ope Ope no mi saved Law's life, I do hope Oda give a reasonable explanation as to how Law is able to cure himself using the fruit. It would be a bit ridiculous if Law just perform a simple operation and voila he is cure! Sure, Law has some medical knowledge but still…

Another application could be a sporadic on/off type of an attack. I mean What if he had an object that created a high pitch sound and he then used his power to keep turning the sound on and off over and over very fast, like a strobe light, just with sound instead of light.

It can be very disorientating, for some, that's as bad as a fast paced strobe light.
I mean something like what's at end of this video, go to 1:02:00 and you'll see how irritating interrupted sound is.

the ope ope no mi doesn't need medical skills.
all he needs is to extract the amber lead from his body..and separating and moving things is what the ope ope doesn best..of course he will need some training with the fruit,but he still has 6 months@BernieCrane:

no,they get shorter lifespan because part of the ember lead of the parents goes to their children

allbluebro

Genetics is something I have studied since I was a kid and I can say that traits and disease passed from parents to a child is passed along via genetics. Its not magic poisoning it is a disease. I understand this is a manga but it is a well written one that usually doesn't come up with unrealistic scientific answers like some mangas such as "friendship" in Fairy tale. It isn't as simple as "removing the lead" like some of you are suggesting.

Seafarer33

@Magi:

Errr…There is. Suppose for a minute that the amber lead progressively deals irreparable damage to vital organs, eventually resulting in the person's death. You can remove all the poison you want and still be left in a near-death state with a set of malfunctioning organs. Besides until told otherwise, the Ope-ope is a great facilitator of surgery but doesn't offer any kind of regenerative powers.

Anyway that's what real world science would say. Story-wise we're probably in for something simpler, similar to how Law cured the PH children from addiction by merely removing the drug from their body - although I'd prefer if it didn't come to this.

Magi

@BernieCrane:

All of them were simply infected with the lead poisoning. Removing the lead poisoning would remove the short life span.

It's not genetically transferred.

Oh geez, because fictional diseases and magical fruits totally need reasonable explanations.

Law is a "Free Modification Human". Nothing is irreparable to him.

And yes, Amber Lead Syndrome is magical poisoning. Kids die earlier because they have Amber Lead within them and it starts acting earlier. It's not like actual genetic diseases.

It's very useful for sneak attacks.

Well we already know about Apoo. But he doesn't manipulate sound, he just turns into instruments which then shoot out soundblasts. I'm talking about a person who could shoot out soundwaves the same way Foxxy shoots out slow beams.

As for Corazon's ability, it's a given for assasinations and surprise attacks.

But just saying, it's possible he can do more than just create a soundproof area. Don't know why that's so hard to agree with.

@DynamiteShikoku:

i hope rosi's death is not just dofla stabbing him from behind or anything like that. i want him to actually fight dofla for real. a good way to see how strong rosi actually is.

This is Donquixote "asshole pupetmaster" Doflamingo. Law's own hands will kill Corazon.

As I said in the spoiler thread.

Sounds like the perfect plot-element to not to tell us thing we're dying for to know.

Doffy- hey Law you know that D's and CD's hate each other because((erases sound))

Well played Oda, well played.

Roci's DF seems to be the ultimate plot-element at least for Oda.
