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

        If I think I'm insane, does it mean I'm not? Because a truly insane person wouldn't know that they are insane?

          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.

            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.

                    maybe, probably but hopefully not.

                    Life Returns is the technique Kumadori used against Chopper, the one that made him able to control his hair.

                    I recommend: Peerless Martial God, Renegade Immortal, Gourmet of Another World, Trash of the Counts Family and The Great Ruler

                        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 😄

                                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.

                                      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.

                                              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. ^^

                                                    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?

                                                                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.

                                                                          …

                                                                            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 😄

                                                                              Also Selph, Lucci only has three transformations, he just used Life Return on his Man-Beast form to make himself slimmer.

                                                                                      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?

                                                                                      @myogatheflea:

                                                                                          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.

                                                                                                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.

                                                                                                    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.

                                                                                                        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:
