Chapter 822: Descending the Elephant

BatrozX

I am almost certain we will see Crocodile and his backstory during incomming arc..

Really? What makes you think we'll see him and his backstory in the upcoming arc?

From the people invited at the tea party, Crocodile and Buggy are more then fair bets. The Impel Down reunion party!

Urouge and Bonney could be there too. Ivankov can't be there because she is going at Dragon.

I imagine Big mom invites any pirate that managed to make a name for himself in the NW and is not allied with other yonkous.

@Watch-man:

I expect Big Mom arc to be very alike to Impel Down arc with its construction.

Big Mom very likely will be undefeatable Big Bad of arc that will have Luffy on a run after lost round.
There might be lots of allies showing up on Sanji wedding so if Sanji rescue team will have to escape they will have plenty help.

I am almost certain we will see Crocodile and his backstory during incomming arc. As for its length I hope it will be longer than Impel Down but not as long as Dressrosa.

why would he?
at Impel Down luffy was running away to save ACe, luffy never runs "for his own life".

Wait a minute, so far who are the ones we know that are going to the tea party?

I only remember knowing that Jimbei was invited and is going to terminate FI's relationship with BM. We also know Sanji was invited for the marriage, and we can pretty much expect most of BM's crew to be there.

Am I missing something here? I don't recall the possibility of other pirates being invited to the tea party unless they're directly related to BM.

Luffy did run for his life from Magellan he would be dead at that time if he would touch any of his poison after first poisoning..

Question makes me see this party is such an event. I'd doubt about Buggy. I'd nice to see Kuro. Sure new evil pirates and I'd bet for someone of the World Government.

Tea Party and wedding.. I see Crocodile fitting perfectly into arc with Jinbe same as at Impel Down also we will have there Mr Prince who can possibly know Crocodiles weakness from Iva.

Personally, I dont think Iva would told him, since he didn't even told Luffy way back in Impel Down or Marineford. Kind of a Threat Deal.

The way it was said that even gods would have to show up if she wanted, so I don't think it's limited to her members.

Oh ok, I see. For a moment I thought it was actually mentioned or hinted at in the manga that we would see Crocodile and/or Buggy at the tea party, which is why I got a bit confused since I didn't recall anything like that happening.

Would definitely be interesting to see that happen though.

hody vs luffy > mingo vs luffy
dressrosa had the most boring fights in one piece

That is an interesting opinion,sir.
Do you care to elaborate on that, because i personally can hardly grasp your thought process.

@Don:

It's a matter of opinion, I guess.

However, I'm almost 100% sure that he got bored of Dressrosa's fights because the arc in general was long. If I were to go further, I'd even say that he has read the Fish man Island arc in one trait / watched the anime but followed the weekly schedule when catching up to Dressrosa.

But all this doesn't really matter.

@newone:

What is good this week in jump is the come back of hunter x hunter

Yup. Even though we'll have to wait a few chapters before getting into the heat of the Dark Continent.

By the way, could somebody please remind me in how many chapters we'll be having another One Piece break ? I know it generally follows the 3 chapters > 1 break pattern but I've just lost the pace.

It´s obviously all a subjective opinion, but basing your opinion on not liking an arc instead of just looking at the fight as something that stands alone, might bring you to false/rash conclusions.

Dressrosa fights were far better than most fights pre-timeskip.

Where exactly did he say he disliked the entire arc because of the """boring""" fights ?

So far this year, we've had a five-week streak (chapters 812-816) and a four-week streak (817-820). I'm guessing we're gonna get another four-week streak: 821 and 822 already, 823 this week, and 824 next week. We wouldn't get a chapter in two weeks anyway because of Golden Week (for which Shonen Jump itself is going on break), so I'm guessing Oda-sensei's break will line up with SJ's. At least, I hope so, because if we get a break after 823, we're waiting three weeks for 824, and that would suck.

@Kaptayn:

That's not even close to what Don said. He (she?) said that forming your opinion about the fight based on whether or not you enjoyed the arc overall is stupid.

Exactly, beside it being stupid.
With "he" you were right

correct me if i am wrong, the way i remember it luffy was in a hurry.
not backing down from a fight is what makes luffy special

There isn't an actual pattern of breaks Oda's going by. We just know that around every 3-5 chapters we are getting a break.

@Schabrak:

All the right explanations aside, in the end it's kinda a triple entendre.

Zou for the elephant

Zunesha/Zunisha for the Ganesha reference

Zoo-nation for a island/country lead by all kinds of animals.

Zou isn't pronounced like Zoo. It rhymes with know.

@W:

Well, actually, it's not. That's what made Ace special and led to his death. Luffy knows when to run (Sabaody, Impel Down).

Was last week a double issue?

@Luffyspissed:

No, but next week is I believe because after that it's Golden Week.

Gotcha thanks. I thought golden week was last week in April.

The Franky Tank

@Luffyspissed:

Gotcha thanks. I thought golden week was last week in April.

It is end of the month, but if I recall correctly the scans come out about a week before the actual issue is released, so that's why there's a break after next week. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will correct me.

The Laughing Man

So we have a chapter tomorrow but not the following week, correct?

No. There is another one next week.

As opposed to?

Actual H2H combat with creative choreography; good angles with constant flow so you don't lose tension….and at least a little strategy involved in the fights.

@zachri:

Looking at the pattern, we can discern that it isn't Hawkins (his seem more plaid last I recall), and BArto would be far too random, especially concerning who Kaidou is talking to and concerning that Kidd and Apoo got along about as well as a cat and a banana.

Cats fucking hate bananas.

more like a pussy cat and water most pussy cats don't like to get wet lol.

It changes a lot when you're claiming it's a pun on zoo dingus.

It works, get over yourself. Nowhere will you see me claiming it was Odas(in his unproficiency of the english word) intention to make it so.
