So a choice between simply despicable, and being both creepy and dispicable?
Wonderful.
Haha, yeah.
Those are the two scenarios that have come to me so far.
What's your take on the situation, blue one?

Pardon me if someone already mention it but don't you think we had a glimpse of Zou right after the end of Thriller Bark saga?
@Buggy's:
Maybe she Boris Becker'd him…
I'm familiar with Boris Becker as a tennis player, but not how he ties in here lol
Family issues?
Maybe Moria stole Whitebeard's shadow and gave it to that kid? His mom looks like a regular at Thriller Bark tea parties!
I like your Idea. Moria came to mind also when I saw Weeble and thought inmediatly of a Zombie
Nice chapter.
Gonna be a lot of void century in this I hope.
Wonder what kind of DF he uses? One could assume that it's some kind of OP paramecia.
Since most of the truly powerful fruits are some weird paramecia.

Google "boris becker stolen sperm", although you probably get the picture. :happy:

Wouldnt be suprised if it was some sort of destructive zoan.
I need me some zoan shichibukais..

Yeah, I think you've filled in the gaps for me quite sufficiently, Razh
oh the chapter even gives a reason for the different amount of time the travel to zhou took for the sunny compared to the guys on barto's ship..well done oda.

since that was in "paradise",no
Regarding the theory that Zou is a DF user: Wouldn't the fact that its always in the sea would nullifie it powers?
I genuinely laughed at Batolomeo's crew listening to grandma's life hacks, lmao. That was some fine comedy. Reactions were awesome.
Really surprised 7th Shichibukai appeared so soon after seeing his head the first time. Oh, and he's supposedly Whitebeard's son!?
From last week:
@Razh:
Well, it could be anything now.
Some of the things I could think of: nose, tengu nose, mustache (like WB's only thinner), weaponized mask or glasses, antenna (…), head decoration, really solid eyebrow, part of a weapon hung on his back...
The way his head is positioned, it's hard to see if that thing comes out on the other side symmetrically.
So close and yet so far, lol. The thought that there might have been a connection did not even occur to me. Even now, it seems way too preposterous!
And then I flip a page, and see a frigging Gengar standing there. Look, it's a Gengar, only he's momma's little dumb boy who kills hundreds of people and has a runny nose. Goddamit Oda… And that mom, what the shit?
Well, that's what you get when you wait years for that last Shichibukai to appear. Expectations were high. I don't dislike his design, it's crazy, but couple with everything else, I don't know. Thought hoped it would be someone with a more threatening presence. Oh well, he should be a fun character. I can already see him vs Luffy would be a great fight, in more ways than one.
Also, couldn't help but remember that someone actually predicted that Zou was an island where all the minkmen live. But the user though that all those talking animals are separate race called minkmen.
I like where this is going though, with a mysterious living island and missing crewmen. Sounds like a real adventure for a change.
So "Buggy's coat" was really the 7th Shichibukai, huh? You can even see his 'stache there. And it turns out he is a tuned up version of Mr. 4.
To be honest, I am glad we got a really strong guy who looks so bad, I missed this. But that aside I am not feeling this guy.
(EDIT: So Weeble actually talks like a kid and is more like he is being missguided by his mom? I like that, it makes his duo less like Mr.4/Miss Merry Christmas. This alone is making me like them more.
I wonder where the OP community would be without Aohige)
Other than that, loved everything about this chapter. The part in the Luffy Senpai Go was just perfect, we are finally going to find out what the minks are and Zou looks amazing (I'm glad it is actually "elephant themed" because that name always made me think of it and was confusing), the adventure feeling is back and I couldn't be happier for that.
The only think that makes me worried is that could it be we'll always have one of the 7 Commanders around? I like them and Bartolomeo got even better in these late chapters, but I hope this doesn't mean we'll never be "just the crew" anymore - although maybe those 7 are supposed to be seen as "part of the crew… kinda".
Regarding the theory that Zou is a DF user: Wouldn't the fact that its always in the sea would nullifie it powers?
Though I think it's been only said jokingly, the sea doesn't weaken you if it's only ankle/knee deep and it certainly doesn't nullify devil fruit powers (see Luffy drowning at Arlong Park for example).
Usopp's disease surfacing once again was the best moment of the chapter.
http://i.imgur.com/Irczpte.png
also, didn't he used to be more muscular, did oda just say "fukc it" to making usopp an actual strong character
Though I think it's been only said jokingly, the sea doesn't weaken you if it's only ankle/knee deep and it certainly doesn't nullify devil fruit powers (see Luffy drowning at Arlong Park for example).
But, doesn't also let you too weak to move around?
Am I the only one feeling a bit bad for Weevil?
I mean it's like (and by like I mean it is) taking advantage of the "special" kid just because you can, and it's by his own mother no less.
But, doesn't also let you too weak to move around?
Only if submerged, it gets easier the less submerged you are according to Oda.

i was thinking the same thing….if this is a full grown man with developmental issues...don't know how i feel with oda using that for the plot and having him being taken advantaged of by his mother and the wg.
Hmmm. What types of powers have huge destructive potential, and haven't been used yet?
Or maybe he just has a df that compliments his Oars like strength. Like a hardening type. Or that one Foxy had

But, what about that time when Doffy's Puppet cornered Luffy and Law in that watered tunnel?

Well two things:
1. I'm pretty sure Oda is trying to parallel a Babidi and Buu relationship. But that one gets more of a "pass" because Buu was simply Babidi's creation and you know he wasn't his MOTHER.
2. I'm sure that Oda is going to portray Weevil as the victim here, and I'm sure that his mother will get what's coming to her when the time is right.
So I'm ok with this honestly.
Nice chap.
Anyone noticed the defeated Whitebeard Captain? Sorry, if already mentioned.
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/551/12
The guy (I think unnamed until now) in the second left panel. (He says: "Can you see us, Ace-chan?)
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/802/7 Here he lies pretty beaten up by Whitebeards "son".
Hmmm. What types of powers have huge destructive potential, and haven't been used yet?
Or maybe he just has a df that compliments his Oars like strength. Like a hardening type. Or that one Foxy had
The way it was shown, must be something AoE. I would say he inflates himself and explodes, but that has been killed already.
Regarding the theory that Zou is a DF user: Wouldn't the fact that its always in the sea would nullifie it powers?
water is too shallow..if it can walk,it can use his powers
But, what about that time when Doffy's Puppet cornered Luffy and Law in that watered tunnel?
What part contradicts it then? He fell in the water and got weakened, got out of the water onto the bull and punched Doffy's clone as far as I remember.
Awesome! It was sensational reveal after sensational reveal!

What you mean with "paradise"? BTW it's a moving island so everything's possible! Besides, in that moment there was lots of fog exactly like now.

Also, no navigator.
That comparison picture of gold digger lady and Lola really gets you thinking. The little hat, the braids (jolly roger), the hairstyle. Mhh…
This was a weird and adventurous chapter from left field, that's for sure. I'm kind of hoping for a weird yet powerful fruit for this Weevil.
hoaaaah now i see, the 'thing' covered in thick fog in florian triangle is moving island like zou, or maybe that was zou. the island where minkman lived. awww Oda you are so brilliant >.<
Weevil's moustache looks like an actual weevil's antenna. There you have it, an animal connection!

I was the one who came up with Zou being Mink Man island. I figured it being a word for zoo just meant a punch of animal people lived there and naturally if Bepo is a Mink Man he would have connections for the rest of the Heart pirates to hide out at. And while I figured the island must be alive and moving due to Sheeps Head comment, I just assumed the island was a whale swimming.
About Thriller Bark, there are some similarities I suppose. It's just what ever was sticking out of the water at TB seemed to rise like a snake with eyes at their ends. If we later find that an elephant of the same family was in the Florian Triangle I expect Oda to explain those glowing eyes. I suppose the mist/fog from Zou could easily be explained by the elephant constantly spraying water everywhere having it evaporate over its skin and just basically causing the affects of most any huge water fall.
Though I think it's been only said jokingly, the sea doesn't weaken you if it's only ankle/knee deep and it certainly doesn't nullify devil fruit powers (see Luffy drowning at Arlong Park for example).
Is the elephant walking? Because I have a feeling that the Elephant is surfing on a Turtle.
Alright, since it's pretty obvious that the girl we saw on Zou a while back is a minkmen that leaves only one question.
Is she a child or an adult, and if the latter will Sanji show his usual interest?
Because if he does I'm going to have a field day with "Sanji. Furry confirmed"
Nice chapter but sadly no Sanji and Co.
But the biggest question for me is right now… Is this "son" really the Shichibukai who cut Zephyr's arm like a pussy or are is the story now really "non canon"
Pretty sure that was Buggy, during his time on Gol Rogers crew. There's a split second frame of Rogers smile reflected in the glasses and there's no timestamp on when his arm got cut. Buggy is now a Shichibukai. He also uses cutting implements. That's my theory.
So, one mystery is solved, 'the large mysterious entity of the Florian Triangle that be protected with thick fog and a current' is Zou Island >.<
Oda is brilliant!
With those glasses, creepy smile and those circular designs on her coat, I have to say that Weeble's mom and Trebol look awfully similar to each other.
That comparison picture of gold digger lady and Lola really gets you thinking. The little hat, the braids (jolly roger), the hairstyle. Mhh…
Id say weeble and lola have more in common
That, is the man who cut off Zephyr's arm?
Can't deny I'm a bit disappointed.
Well at least time has treated my main man Kizaru well!

I doubt it. How did an elephant that size get from the first part of the grand line to the New World? Only two routes are the Red Line itself or the Fishman Island route. Zou is always been in the New World….

That clearly wasn't canon. If this guy became an Shichibukai during the time skip and around the same time "Z" was still part of the Marines, we'd have heard some mention of him, plus a guy like that woulda been at Marineford when the war with WB went down.
At least with Shiki, he was a canon character, and Sengoku mentioned him….

Canon or not, I'd expect someone even capable of cutting an admiral's hand off be a little more badass. Or at least look like one.
Well we're bound to get 2 new members sometime to replace Law and Doffy…..
I dunno why but i half expected this guy would be a swordsman or something......glad that wasn't the case.....
Also, there is something very familiar looking about his mother too....but i can't put my finger on why.....
She is Lolas Mom. Same Hair, Same Lips, Same style of clothing more or less and the character trades. Lola wanted to take out Nami because she was in Love with Absalom. The crazy love theme.
I am sold at least. She is Lolas Mom and maybe Lola was used by her the same way thats why she kind of crazy. Weevil might not even be her "real" son. His head looks like it was stiched togehter. Maybe he had some traumatic thing happen and when he woke up she started to use him.
The will surely appear on Zou. Like Jack i hope.

Looks don't mean anything. First look at Luffy and you think the guy is a complete moron ( and he is) yet this moron accomplished amazing things. Shanks is a 1 armed man, doesn't look special and yet he is of the 4 Emperor's alongside huge monsters like Whitebeard ( and now BB ), Kaido and Big Mom….
This guy is weird looking, strange design and yet we know from what Kizaru has said this guy is a freaking monster.....

I didn't say he was weak or anything, of course he's got to be incredibly strong. It's just that his design is rather… fodderish.
If this guy had been shown before Dressrosa, I probably would have taken those Meadows theories more seriously.
There's just no way that a character has a living mom by his side, it goes against all shonen rules for moms
I really hope that Marco won't lose to this man. He gave a good fight against Kizaru after all…
What you mean with "paradise"? BTW it's a moving island so everything's possible! Besides, in that moment there was lots of fog exactly like now.
paradise is the way the first half of the grand line is called (by the ones who taste the new world)..and no,it can't be the same thing because the elephant,big as it may be,can't pass through the red line,nor go under it
