@joekido:
Has anyone notice that Usopp is watching the whole thing? Ever wonder what he was doing there?
I just thought he was curious about what was happening between the crew and the Marines, but still felt awkward about being there since he's no longer a crewmember.
Marines: If you want it fixed, why break it down in the first place?
Garp: 'Cause entering like that is a lot cooler!
Wow; thats the best quote I heard in a while " 'cuz its cooler that way". Grap can pull that off so well…
First page, anyone think that Smoker is a Vice Admiral based on the descending order and being on the equal footing of Saul? What was the rank he didn't want back when he 'defeated' Crocodile?
Expect Luffy to fight his Grandpa and get beaten down next week.
Man when this chapter becomes into anime im gonna crap my pants off laughing at this :p
Smoker looks exactly like he used to, it's just Oda's style that changed.
**This chapter is so awesome. Thanks to all who provided the chapter/translations.
I could say I told you so, but I won't.
It's funny how so many people kept on saying that Dragon being Luffy's father just is not going to happen. OR that Coby and Helmeppo wouldn't become anything special. Yet when Oda proved them wrong, they act as if they never said a thing.**
I'm just glad that Dragon's name didn't turn out to be D. Ragon
now, Garp will have a dillemma…. he can't just leave Water 7 closing one eye..... he has a reputation to uphold...... Nami mentioned that he is the hero of the marines, so, how to leave Water 7 and NOT capture Luffy and the mugiwaras?

He didn't capture Dragon so I think he sees no problem with just leaving.
The citizens of W7 won't say shit, and Garp will just threaten the marines. Problem solved!
Thx for the RAW and trans
What a mind-blowing chapter…
Wonder why michael and hoichael tried to extort money from zoro anyway?
How would you all feel about Luffy undergoing further training from Garp to set him up with the best chances in the second half of the Grandline?
Garp wont be able to keep all the marines silent….unless they're extremely loyal to him. Higher ups are gonna be mighty upset with him if they find out he met up with Luffy and didnt bother arresting him.
unless he only brought those that are loyal to him…... but there might be spies too........

I'd like to say that Garp is smart enough to know if he has a spy in his ranks. But, due to the insane plot twists that have been going on recently, I think that Oda will do something unexpected with the "Why is Garp at Water 7" thing.

Probably, but if Smoker and Garp showed something it's you've got to do a lot to get fired from the Marine when you're a powerful fighter. In these days of crisis the WG can't really deprive itself of such assets, no matter how rebellious or unprofessional they are.
Doesn't his little "oops, forget I said that" joke at the end suggest that since he's given away impotant information taht he can get away with such things? It looks like he's alsmost leaving anyway.
This chapter SUCKS BALLS!! Now I have to completely rewrite "Where is the Pirate King"!! xD

with or without Luffy? he is not going to stand there and say "the next time we meet, it will be a fight." or something like that…..... he has the chance to take down the mugiwaras...... ok, that's not going to happen, but as a marine, he can't just let this one slip........ unless the mugiwaras run first and give him the slip........
If you didn't notice - pandaman is back.
And I'm pretty sure next chapter we are going to see his real name - Pan D. Aman

No, he's gonna wait till Garp goes way and then jumps in and say "Luffy I'm you Mom" and then removes the mask and is revealed that he is in fact a Woman
Great Chapter
Did anyone notice that one of the Great Pirates looks kinda like Wanze
Did anyone notice that one of the Great Pirates looks kinda like Wanze
I did.
I did.
I did.
I did.
@Octogon:
I did.
I did.
I did.
I did.
Can you remind me who Wanze is? -_-
The second to bottom emperor has a VERY close resemblance to Oimo, or is it Kashi? Anyway, I mean the fatter of the two giants that helped at Ennie's Lobby.
Maybe I just have a bad memory, it looks like Wanze too (as has been mentioned).
Does anyone else think that picture of Dragon makes it look like he's pissed because someone ran him over with a motorcycle, leaving treadmarks on his face? 
Just me? Okay then.
For the record, I believe that Michael and Hoichael (sp?) were trying to extort money out of Zoro in exchange for bringing him back to the hotel.
I'm somewhat worried about the situation the strawhats in, this chapter brought a lot of relief from what's happened so far and I'm just hoping that it's going to last at least a few more chapters, rather than Helmeppo's response to coby saying they were there because of the strawhats being dark as it sounds.
Monkey D. Dragon
Monkey D Luffy so…whats with
Portgas D. Ace? btw awesome chapter XD
Seeing the full chapter, Garp looks more Heihachi Mishima-esque than ever. I never realized how tall he was. In comparison Luffy looks like a tiny, tiny man.
Them falling asleep and the reaction of the crew… there are no words for how great that single panel is.
(Though I don't remember Luffy having that kind of narcoleptic problem like Garp/Ace before.)
Did anyone notice that one of the Great Pirates looks kinda like Wanze
Thank you. People keep saying he looks like a fishman/giant and I keep thinking he looks like seatrain chef.
Without glasses, Helmeppo's eyes/eyebrows and hairstyle looks like one of the elves from Lord of the Rings.
To the people talking about the way Garp met Dragon and didn't arrest him.
a) We don't know whether or not he tried and simply failed.
b) You don't always arrest giant figureheads, considering the fact that you will make a martyr out of them to their people. It's relatively clear that A LOT of people follow Dragon, and that it's not Dragon himself who would topple the WG, but the revolutionaries he controls. Should he be captured, they would certainly spring into action.
Thank you. People kept saying he looks like a fishman/giant and I kept thinking he looks just like the chef from the seatrain.
Am I the only person that see's that one as a woman?
(A hidious pre-devilfruit-Alvida/Kokoro-like woman, but still technically a woman.)
No incredibly strong wimminz-folk are allowed in One Piece.

It should last a few more. We've got a lot to resolve before they can continue on: Usopp needs to make up with Luffy; Chopper needs to explain why/how he turned himself into a monster on Enies Lobby; Robin needs to talk to Usopp about Luffy (this is my personal opinion); Zoro needs to address how being down one sword is going to affect him (although this can be done after they leave, I suppose); they need to decide if they're going to take on a shipwright as a member of the crew (if any are inclined).
Oh, and although it's not strictly necessary, it would be nice to see if any bounties are levied/increased. I don't want to assume anything with Oda. 
1.) I'm replying without having read the entire thread, so sorry if these have already been mentioned.
2.) Coby and Helmeppo look wicked cool! I can't believe they've matured so much in so little time. Helmeppo looks like a cross between Aokiji and Sanji, but I can't find anyone with any resemblance to Coby. An entirely new face type? Also, Coby's clothes remind me of the bounty hunter in the 4th One Piece movie. That was a good one, it really captured the spirit of the manga, as much as the movie animators ever will.
3.) Just an interesting observation about the panel where Garp talks about the Four Emperors: the one on the bottom, the shadows on his face make it look like he has a moustache similar to Whitebeard's.
4.) Luffy's family is made of awesome. His father has tire tracks on his face and his grandfather makes a dog mask look badass.
5.) The panel of Garp waking up. He is such an old geezer.
6.) I wanna know who the other two Emperors are! Wanna wanna wanna!
7.) @Denimjo:
Usopp needs to make up with Luffy;
I read that as Usopp needs to make out with Luffy.
No more doujinshi for me.
Damn this chapter has so much info in it my head asploded.
Very exciting to read! Even though Dragon being Luffy's father was spoiled, there was plenty more to be surprised about.
"Shoving you into those deep valleys…
Tossing you into the jungle at night...
Sending you flying into the sky tied to balloons...
ALL OF IT WAS TO MAKE YOU INTO A STRONG MAN!"
Geez, what a grandpa. XD Now we know why Luffy fears nothing.
I find it interesting that he sent Luffy to someone he trusted to train with Ace.
Who was the person that he trusted? Is it someone we've seen or someone Oda hasn't shown yet? Yep, I totally feel another Luffy flashback coming at some point in the series.
And about Ace...if he wanted him to train with Ace, Ace must have been intended to be in the Marine too. I'm starting to think that he's probably the son of the person that Garp sent Luffy to to raise and they aren't directly brothers.

That would certainly be a resolution of a sorts, wouldn't it?
Damn, what happened to the mini story? I hope oda hasn't drawn himself into a corner when it comes down to what was in that crater.
Holy amazing shit, what a great chapter! Thanks a bunch for sharing Battle Franky.
Probably, but if Smoker and Garp showed something it's you've got to do a lot to get fired from the Marine when you're a powerful fighter. In these days of crisis the WG can't really deprive itself of such assets, no matter how rebellious or unprofessional they are.
he's safe anyway, he had two of his more senior marines on the ship try and take on two of the mugiwara and lose.
Now we know why Luffy fears nothing.
cept his grandpa
Also its been asked plenty in this thread but as far as i saw never answered what rank Smoker has at the moment did he get moved up to VA or what ?.
I don't think Oda knows quite what to do with Ener at this point and is stalling for time.
ummmm…..Robin?
Not really. I guess taking out Pell was pretty big at the time, and she did show Spandam a thing or two. But nothing really jaw-dropping or impressive.
Robins second only to Luffy and argubly prehaps Zoro among the strawhats so yeah there are strong women in OP not just too many of them.
I think that it's almost the time to discover what was the message that ace gave to rufy at alabasta(The one that is hidden in the hat right now),might be something related to dragon or something that will let us know something more about theyr past =o
Still it was a great chap,the best for the story-side for sure^^
Wow. Did not expect that. Alot of answers in this chapter. the D. bloodline is coming to light!
Also, will we discover what Smoker's message was? The one that Aokiji said was just some stupid talk? and don't you know you CAPITALIZE a persons name?
Minatomo-San for carpenter!!!!
Robins second only to Luffy and argubly prehaps Zoro among the strawhats so yeah there are strong women in OP not just too many of them.
Lol, based on what?
If an Emperor/Warlord/Admiral-level female opponent is ever introduced, I will be amazed. (I'd welcome it, but don't see it happening - Calipha is just the most recent of disappointments.)
