Someone needs to draw an image of Kokoro giving Mouth to Mouth ressusitation to Sanji.

The horror…the horror. The PG-13 Horror that really should be rated R. On a side note it ould be funny to witness that and Sanji react by thinking that Nami is kissing him instead.
Spandam will be the last CP9'er to fall.
I'm sorry, but being squashed by a elephant seems pretty KOish to me.
Thanks Battle Franky. Based on what I've heard this chapter looks great.
hey what is this "life return" someone mentioned? IS it one of the techniques?

maybe, probably but hopefully not.

Life Returns is the technique Kumadori used against Chopper, the one that made him able to control his hair.
That was a great chapter.
I want a Chibi Luffy plush like right now, he's bad @$$
Lucci should get sued for chibi abuse. XD Damn.
And for a brief second…Kokoro looked hot. (Until we saw the FULL picture >_>)
I'd rather see a Mermaid Nami doing the rescuing but oh well.
Good chapter. Chibi Luffy looks really cool. Thanks BF for the chapter
Thanks a bunch, BF!!
Wow, OP always ends on a major "DON!!!" note. That's why I love it so much.
anyone else get reminded of the Vegeta Kid Goku fight from DBGT
I can never unsee that. Ever. When I close my eyes, BAM! Nearly naked Kokoro.
But on the subject of Life Returns, I thought that that was something that just Kumadori knew! Where and when the hell did Lucci learn it? Plus, didn't Kumadori have to meditate for…lots before he could learn it? I sincerely doubt that Lucci could ever meditate, let alone for an extended amount of time. Y'know, that extreme bloodlust and all. I sense a potential plot-hole....
I'm love the way Lucci looks in this fight. I love the shirtless leopard Lucci. The fight is getting better and better with few interuptions. Great chapter although I still don't like the mermaid thing.
KokoroxHachi ftw?
I thought for a second while browing through the picutres, the left half of the Mermaid picture was cut off as a surprise for next week. But I thought the bottom half looked banging hot.
Then my CDisplay moved to the next picture which was the top half of Kokoro and i was like….blahhhh
Funny, I had always thought that Kokoro was a Fishperson like Tom, or Arlong. Never thought she was a Mermaid.
As stated in the spoiler thread. I was heavily dissapointed with Funk Freed's performance, I was actually hoping for one more matchup.. I didn't expect victory or anything, but all well.. There goes Spanda and Funk Freed..
Oda shouldn't have put hype on the Sword if it was going to backfire so easily. This event made the chapter somewhat less enjoyable.
so now know for sure that she IS a mermaid and not a fish woman.
good chapter, every week im like "GOD i can't wait for the next!" and it's like that again XD
Is it wrong of me that I'm far more amused by a lot of people's reactions to Kokoro than the actual event in the manga? XD I hope Oda gives us more granny fanservice doublespread pages, yeah!!
Thanks, as always, BF. ^^
Ban them all Bevin, they're character bashing
:wub: I love you, Battoru Furanky-nii chan!
Sweet its out! I find it intresting vivi is on the cover. It's usually just the main strawhats. Does oda still consider vivi a main strawhat. I know she would be one if they came back for her,but…
Since it no one has done one for this chapter yet:
Hahahaha, awh man…that was great.
Maybe Oda's doing a cover for each one of the main protagonists in the arcs. So next would be Wiper, etc.
I'm wondering how Kokoro managed to walk around on land. Gear 3's after effect is adorable, and now that Luffy's been un-chibified…what's that I smell? Roasted leopard?
Well I just read the whole chapter (god this cpu at the hotel is so slow) and I bet one more chapter for lucchi.
Yosh! I wake up and the new chapter's out! Thanks BF!
Hmm… I dunno what to say. Kokoro shocked me I wonder what she looked like younger as a.... dugong. But, that's all about that for now.
The chap itself was cool. Nothing to complain. Cute Luffy-chan And poor Zoro-swan :<
@Mr.:
Maybe Oda's doing a cover for each one of the main protagonists in the arcs. So next would be Wiper, etc.
That could be a possibility, but I'm saying he's just doing the Straw-Hats so Going Merry could still show up. I'm saying Franky after Merry though, with the title of the chapter being "The Eight Person," seeing as how he will be given an invitation to join the crew after Luffy defeats Lucci. His main reasons would be for protecting Robin while he was in battle and Usopp would make his return either that chapter or the following one.
Yeah, within the next five chapters we'll have "The Seventh Person" and "The Eighth Person", possinly even a combo of the two. I laughed when Franky owned Funkfried, I laughed hard.
Incoming Gomu Gomu No Hurricane? (Big Storm)
Thanks for the Chapter Battle Franky!
We got spoiled this time - Chibi Luffy, Vivi, Spandam beatings and Kokoro fanservice!
Kokoro and fanservice?Oo
That was a damn fun chapter.
Did anyone else get a flash of the first chapter when Chibi-Luffy tried to punch Lucci? "My fist is as strong as a bullet"
Dang, that was a good chapter. Franky's been dominating this whole arc; short as it was, his fight with Frankfried + Spandam was pretty awesome.
…
I think Oda's making it pretty clear Paulie's out of the picture, people. ;D
Did anyone notice Lucci's weird looking tattoo on his arm? It's clearly visible at page 14 panel 3.
So he can do 4 transformations and know Life Return? He surely has made good use of his fruit and powers.
I believe that Luffy will beat Lucci in the next chapter using Gear 2nd and some ubertrick. Gomu Gomu no Hurricane sounds good
This chapter was great and had a lot going on.
Lucci's life return ability, Chibi-Luffy, Spandam and Funkfreed being pwned by Franky, Galley-La and the Franky Family reaching the Main Gate and Kokoro's mermaid form.
Also Selph, Lucci only has three transformations, he just used Life Return on his Man-Beast form to make himself slimmer.
Did anyone notice Lucci's weird looking tattoo on his arm? It's clearly visible at page 14 panel 3.
Yeah, I see that too. For those that can't or missed it:
Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a patch of some kind or what. Doping? Or bandages? Eh?
When i saw those last two pages my brother was walking by. Yelled out a big "WTF WAS THAT!!!"
The horror…
Overall great chapter though, thanks Battle Franky.
yeah it had the same effect to friends i showed
edit: the patch on the previous page as well
Thanks BF!
I wonder if post Gear 3 (Chibi) Luffy can stretch himself. Obviously he'd still be rubber, but I mean, consciously stretch.
Also, I really REALLY hope Oda plans a color spread where all our heroes are mer-people just to counterbalance Mermaid Kokoro. Just imagine….Mermaid Nami and Robin...toss in Vivi too. And toss in the guys too whynot (Mer-Sogeking? Mer-Franky O_o) He could forgive DF powers for just one colorspread, right?
Yeah, I see that too. For those that can't or missed it:

Lucci's always had that tatoo, since back when he was in Galley-la
Thank you Battle Franky and you to ooshi78.
Excellent chapter this week.
Franky was even more super than usual, Robin is truly ok now, and Luffy Vs Lucci. Oh and then there was. . . My eyes! The goggles they do not work! Koroko fanservice.
I found the Spandam VS Franky fight very good even though it was short. You have to admit Spandam's got some good endurance. Didn't expect Franky dropping Frunkfried on Spandam. That gave me a good laugh.
Hahahaha, indeed he has had them ever since. I just checked my tanko, soooo I guess I needed a reminder. It has been a verryyyy long time though seeing his arms.
I think Selph is right, Luffy will use Gear 2 again when he recovers and fall from the wall he looks like when he uses Gear 2, i think the fight is over in the next chapter.
I see so with Life Returns he can manipulate his devil fruit forms making him slimmer/more muscular. This new "Kami-e Form" will prove to be very hard I presume. But what I have learned, that whenever the main villains pull out a new weapon (Arlong's Sword, Croc's knife under the hook, Enel's god-form and now Lucci's Kami-e Form) Luffy gets rid of them as fast as he can. So yeah, next chapter we will see the fall of Rob Lucci, the bloodthirsty warrior. The chapter will probably end with the new trick so the chapter after that should be Enies Lobby: Getaway and the VAs' reactions.
@Xetalimn_Erket:
I think Oda's making it pretty clear Paulie's out of the picture, people. ;D
Gee, thanks. ;o
Anyway, good chapter.
Now to remove my eyes…
@Mr.:
Yeah, within the next five chapters we'll have "The Seventh Person" and "The Eighth Person", possinly even a combo of the two. I laughed when Franky owned Funkfried, I laughed hard.
I agree with you within the whole 5 chapter deal, but Robin would be "The Sixth Person" and Franky if he joins would be "The Seventh Person."
Thank you BF.
I guess Kokoro really is a "monster." I dont even know what to call but ugly.
I think I understand Gear 3's effects now.
When Luffy stretches out his bones with all that air, after a while they temporarily contract from the stress, compressing him into chibi form.
Thanks for the chapter BF. You are the greatest.
Thanks Battle Franky for the chapter and ooshi78 for the translation!
Ha, Franky beat up more CP9 agents. I'm just praying to Oda that he'll join now. My guess on Luffy's fight is that he'll Gigant Bazoka on Lucchi's back (with the Government sign on it) will propel him to the giant doors of Enies Lobby, causing a whirlpool.
I know I'm looking way too far into this but I wonder how 4kids deals with Kokoro mermaid form.:wassat:
