Chapter 775: Love for Lucien

The problem is more about the limit of how much she can restore, but there's a lifespan tradeout anyway, so it's not like her ability is infinite use.
So the ability is not usable infinitely. That is, unless you're an asshole like Doffy who just doesn't care about the lives of his lower subordinates.
random guy with that fruit: "Oh, how lovely. All these wonderful fruits all over the place here. Are they all for me? You really have to like me!!"
DD: Nope.Forum user Bartholemew Bear passed away in a very moving and touching way. I, ARTEMlS, therefore carry on the Will of DArth for good unto its final fulfilment.

That's because you're combining them.
Not really. The plot started at Water 7 and finished at Enies Lobby.
Really, it's the same arc. Same characters, same story. The fact that it changes location means nothing.

@Bartholemew:

Using the ability to your own advantage makes you an asshole either way, even if it affects her lifespan only a little. I wonder how Oda is going to handle that at the end of the arc, considering that Viola intends to use her healing powers as well.

By that logic, wouldn't Punk Hazard count with Dressrosa as well? Same characters, same overarching story.
Dressrosa is the extension of Punk Hazard.

I agree with KC, just because they moved to another island doesn´t mean the arc is over.
Punk Hazard is a different arc, with a different goal: Defeating Caesar and their subordinates, destroying SAD and rescuing the children. However it IS a part of the Dressrosa (or Pirate Alliance) saga.
-
Switching to Enies Lobby allowed a lot of breathing room though without it feeling stretched since we had a cool new setting and characters. Dressrosa could have used something like that in the middle.
-

Dressrosa is the extension of Punk Hazard.No. Punk Hazard had its own exclusive characters and story (Brownbeard, Kids, Vergo, Yeti Cool Brothers, Smoker, Tashigi) that had nothing to do with Dressrosa's story. It had some setup, but not enough to call it a part of Dressrosa.
It's like saying that Little Garden and Alabasta are the same arc (they aren't).
Meanwhile, everything that is introduced at Water 7 has to be resolved at Enies Lobby (Robin, Usopp, Franky, CP9, Going Merry). Franky Family gets involved, Galley-La gets involved, Kokoro gets involved. The plot and the characters are the same (rescue Robin). So much that they have to return to Water 7 at the end.

Maybe it only affects the lifespan at all if you do some bigger stuff. I mean, you couldn't even approach properly guys like Franky or Pink if every single tear shortens your lifespan.
-
this is my first arc how long do they usually go
And this should be your latest actually..
Dude one cannot simply read and admire Dressrosa without reading from the start.
Doflamingo has been hyped for 11 years, you will probably not understand a lot about him.
-
This seems pretty fitting. Real men only use (boxing) gloves!
-
Has the appearance of pandaman been mentioned yet?
Well…he is found here disguised as one of Dofa's goons, middle panel...look at the door
-
Best chapter in the last month. Shows that Oda can take a really dumb character and not only make this gag work, but give us a good reason behind it. And it was great to see Franky finally get a fight, though it was short.
The last few chapters were filler and plot wrapping up, this was that but done better.

It was an entire Saga,
Long Ring Long Land - 303-321
Water 7 - 322-374
Enies Lobby Arc - 375-430
Post Enies Lobby 431-441and that consists of 139 chapters
We are now with the Pirate Alliance Saga which started at 654 which is
654-775 (on going)
The whole saga will probably be the biggest in time.. You cannot simply refer to all the pre/current/post water 7 saga to be 1 arc.
Skypiea was commonly agreed to be the biggest arc at 66 chapters, but now Dressrosa has surpassed it because it is now at 75.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Well so far this is what's left of the Donquixote family.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Within a few pages, Senor Pink's circumstances just became more tragic or at least more touching than Kyros, Riku and Rebecca's pasts combined, and probably even Law's. It's long since a One Piece chapter really moved me like that. I wonder if that was on purpose from Oda's side, or if he simply didn't bother with the others' sad pasts as much as he did with this one.
It's because it's CLEARY Sanjis father….
Gimlett..
If you look up Gimlett, Gimlett is a french cocktail..
Hmm french... Sanji????????????

Uh, yes. I can call Water 7 and Enies Lobby the same arc, because they share the same story ("a story arc"). A setting does not define an arc. Water 7 literally ends with no resolution by itself.
Long Ring Long Island is part of the saga, but not the arc.
-
So did Jora suddenly gain this knowledge of the fruit? Does Doffy not know about this ability to heal objects? I didn't quite get that bit, felt a little sudden.

You're reading mangapanda? They screwed that up.

I realized that the poor treatment of women's his arc is actually a parallel to Don Quixote, which was a critique of chivalry. (Among the critiques was the absurdity of women loving men without reason). Also, Rocinante was the name of Don Wuixote's shoddy horse.

So that's why Oda killed off Sanji…:ninja:
-
It's chapters like these that make me realize just how much I love One Piece.
-
So, when Senor Pink first appeared I didn't care for him that much, he was eh and I was annoyed at the whole bikini top napkin thing. But, his personal flashback fleshed him out and showed him what his private life was like in the past and now I get why He's wearing a baby bonnet and why He acts uninterested in his groupies. With that being said, We got at least three Dolflamingo family members that should be getting a fight before the Dolflamingo vs Luffy battle begins and We're getting a possible ending to the Dressrosa arc.
-
Damn, so Franky:
1. Fought Pink, Dellinger, and Machvise all at the same time. Was not fighting them seriously, he just wanted to distract them.
2. Got up from his beating, albeit with the help of cola.
3. Fought and defeated Senor Pink. Forgot to mention he deliberately took all 30(possibly more) of Pink's attack, including his most powerful attack that hit him on his weak side. Got up right away and wiped Pink's tears.
4. Will now proceed to destroy the factory.That my friends,is what you call a BOSS!
Now all those gladiators on the other hand…..

How would you rank Franky power-wise? He's gotta be just below monster trio status.
-
If anything, what the Donquixote family show is that anyone below Luffy, Zoro and dare i say Sanji will not be taking on the first set of Yonkou commanders.

My Crew order was always;
-Luffy

-Sanji
-Franky
-Robin
-Brook
-Usopp
-Chopper
-Nami -

Yeah I agree. And he obviously wasn't going all out. He was taking his sweet time against Pink lol
If I could rank them I'd go:
Luffy
Zoro
Sanji
Franky
Brook
Robin
Chopper
Usopp
NamiThe only reason I have Brook over Robin is because he actually fights lol. Nami has always been a joke to me. I just hate her fighting style. I think Usopp finally getting haki put him past her.

When we first met Senor Pink I thought he was awesome. His outfit was weird and his personality was hilarious, and that's what made him amazing. As we saw more of his fight with Franky, his quirks changed from funny to… still funny, because Senor Pink is the manliest man and always has been. So when this chapter came out and we saw this emotional flashback, I was surprised to find my feelings had changed from affection to even more affection. Senor Pink used to be my favorite Donquixote officer, but after this chapter he's now
one of my favoritesthe best goddamn henchman ever.All joking aside this was a very solid chapter, but I still like the two Bartendish chapters a little bit better. The brief dwarf scene at the beginning didn't grate on me as much as it has on some others and the life force limitation placed on Mansherry's fruit should hopefully quiet some of the complaints about it's potential broken-ness. I think it's a fair assumption that the magnitude of the Restoration corresponds to a greater toll. Restoring Dressrosa for Doflamingo probably would have cost her several decades of life, if not more.
The actual fight between Franky and Pink was a bit underwhelming, especially considering the glimpses of manly competition we'd caught over the past few chapters. Iron Boxing was an appropriate move to use but as far as a finisher goes it lacked the charm of pre-TS Franky Boxing and the impressiveness of other moves we've seen. Could've sworn Franky said he'd armored his back recently.
The flashback itself was poignant and basically flawless. Though, did it start raining on Dressrosa or something? They also seemed to have moved outside for their fight too.

4. Will now proceed to destroy the factory.1-Considering it was a bunch vs 1.I'm sure he was fighting seriously. the harder he is to put down the more attention is drwarn to him. But he did waste a coup de vent.
2-Cola being his stamina(sorta it's nothing special.
3- Dude sure got supplexed a lot. Talk about endurance
4- I wonder how much of that energy for that task is left.But yeah overall Franky has been the man since he's reappeared at Punk hazard. He better get the bounty he deserved.
-

We haven't seen Sanji pull anything off yet.. but as for now I would honestly lean towards Franky being able to take on the same oponents as Sanji if not take on more. Franky has taken on at least 5 officers at this point.
Sanji honestly did not have a place to shine in Dressrosa..
It's like me on god damn Battlefield, hell I'm a pretty great player, sometimes I just do so shit and I can't handle it. Once i settle i become MLG

I was thinking this as well.. I hope not, because when the anime comes out it's not that beautiful, serene area where Doflamingo lives and owns. Ahem* serene… cough cough
-
i did start at the beginning for the anime and the manga i started it sometime after sabo came in
Great! I'm glad to hear that
-

Franky's flurry of punches reminded Pink of rain.

As Gore pointed out, these next chapters are gonna only get better unless Oda gives the Tontattas more stuff to do. We only have the main executives and Doffy to go with the fights. I started reading the manga around 718, just after catching up to the Anime last year in May. So, this is my first time getting to see the main fights in manga form, classic One Piece style pre-Whitebeard stuff. What can I say, I am really pumped to see this unfold. I can imagine what the hype is for the people following the manga since the beginning.
Also, I hope Oda has invented a new gear or something, it's been a while.
-

Doflamingo has been hyped for 11 years, you will probably not understand a lot about him.
What is there not too understand? He's an angry sack of shit whose childhood didn't exactly go the way he wanted it to. I started One Piece at Thriller Bark, moved on to Enies Lobby, and then worked my way back. A lot of the things can be revealed about the characters without needing the full picture. The complete picture is a reader's bonus, but is not always necessary to enjoying the story.
Will someone tell me how to make a signature already? UGH!

I agree he's just another villain with a cool design and a good back story to boot.
-
Senor Pink just shot up to being one of my favorite Donquixote pirates with this chapter.
-
I hope Oda has a surprise or two up his sleeve for Zoro X Pica fight, because so far it's been dull. Pica has been doing nothing but annoy Zoro with ineffective attacks, no tension or excitement so far.

Now that Pink's defeated, Pica will probably try to protect the smile factory. We might see the King's Punch in action again.

However, I'd put her above Brook.

what is this? there's something in my cheek, water? Oh it's Rain.
well nice cover there. Usopp Luffy and Zoro. And did anyone remember 5th Polls long ago. (13;1;3)

I agree that you don't need to read the other arcs to see his character, but one should read the whole story. There is lots of build up for various things, and Doflamingo is a big part of a huge system. Not having seen the other aspects of the world could decrease the impact on the reader. Then again, I can't say for sure, since I have read the story multiple times, and not reading this without reading the rest.
I would tell the person that they can start from the current arc, but also read the rest, especially with all the breaks there are. Even if it doesn't change opinions of the current arc, it will allow you to appreciate the wider story.
-
What about the last quote "too early for little Gimlett"?
First of all, Oda did not write this comment but his editor. If you look at the One Piece volumes you won't find any of these comments that usually appear in the magazin chapters.
Someone on twitter pointed out that this line might be derived from the novel "The Long Goodbye". -
I like it, Franky is getting close to Sanji. He blasted that door down when Sanji just dented it back at Punk Hazard.
I'm sure Sanji would beat 5 guys like pink at the same time.
The Punk hazard door? Please, you think Sanji was going hard on it? He just tested it, I don't think he was going 1% of what he can do on that crap. The guy was able to burn tekkai pre ts, and easy crack the neck of pacifistas Post ts.
Nami was too close and his awesome fire attacks would just burn Nami too.

IMO it has been my theory that Luffy will have a new gear or something similar. We know Luffy hasnt gone all out yet.. But this would be the meaning of all out as Doflamingo has no where near exerted himself EVER to his limits, if not, dare i say exerted at all.
Hes the head hancho for a reason and he is the BIGGEST key to succeeding in the new world. We've got Yonkous, Shichibukai, Marines, Revo army, Yonkou commanders, pirates, nation leaders all either dealing with him or gunning for him.. Thats why hes such a great character
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I'd put Chopper above Usopp, he's got Monster Point.
Usopp has great potential to be a an amazing fighter. His unlocking of CoO gives him opportunity to increase his combat skill by a lot.
Usopps lack of endurance and self belief at times hinders him.
I can definitley see Usopp surpassing his father. Its all about mentality. Hes still young and new to the world. He will make a great asset to the SH crew as he has this arc.

Pink, you are Super..!!Coolest man in family so far, you earn my respect..
