Yeah I would like some east blue pirate responses…but I am confident everyone will complain that it will seem like a "dragging" chapter such as like this one right now. Personally I don't see any problems with this chapter overall for Oda seems to merely take his time bringing such a long arc into a steady close.
Chapter 439 "Third One and Seventh One" Discussion

@Fire Fist:
I apologize, then. I thought that was sarcasm.
Anyway, I hope we see Zeff again. It'd be nice to see what a former Grand Line pirate thinks of kid up-and-coming in the Grand Line now that he's got a bounty (Though Patty and Carne will get a good laugh at the wanted poster).
S'okay, it's a reasonable mistake. When Usopp is concerned it's fair to assume I'm generally unimpressed with him.
It'd be nice to see not only Zeff's reaction, but everyone's reaction to the bounties. Unfortunately it's unlikely we'll see them at this rate.
Also, since I didn't say it in my earlier post: Tashigi = hawt.
-
Thanks for the early (and high quality) scans, BF, those are always a treat. ^^
-
Here's to hoping the next chap will be Bounty Reactions/Shichubukai, and then FINALLY off to a new adventure (I hope) Probably won't start the new arc until the beginning of next year tho.
-
I don´t know Japanase but in Arabasta the 4 royal men seem surprised. Is for Robin/Miss All Sunday in Strawhats Crew or is for the new bounties?
-
Awesome Thanks BF, I liked your old avatar T_T
-
Wow, so fast!! It's only Wednesday night!!
Well thanks heaps BF!
-
I failed to draw. ;_____;
Not even Oda's greatness can save me.
-
Thanks, to think i've been up since 6.30GMT and this is the first time i've cared to look for this chapter :o\
so blue sea horse as next member then? (or has this joke been done already?)
-

Kanpaiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I'm waiting for the Translation but its a nice chapter judging from the pictures and the scans are realy good quality. It's good to have those reactional chapters once in a while were we can see the most important non-main characters of the past are up to right now. And the first Franky colorspread was also nice :)
Anyways, is it just me or does Tashigi look more and more like Robin?
-
I dig Smokers new look, Vivis dad is still funny YAY VIVI~
I hate Tashigis new look, She looks like her old self mixed with robin…..
-
I noticed the Marine next to Smoker is holding his Justice Jacket. How is that gonna work with his junte attached to that belt on his back? Is he gonna wear it over it?
-
WSJ #4-5 Cover: (Um, usually Shueisha uploads this on Thursdays) :wassat:
-
Thanks for putting this up, I like Taishigi's look now, though she does look abit like Robin with glasses.
-
Thanks for the chapter.
Arn't Smoker and co on the same island Blackbeard was on in the previous chapters? :O -
Luffy totally made all the Jump stars his underlings in that cover. The ultimate disrespect. Funny indeed
-
Wowo that's cool cover. It'd be good to have that in XXXL size :D
SO Smoker's got a bigger stick eh? -
OMG!!!!! tashigi looked 400% hotter !!!
vivi-swan matured also!!!
cheers to sunny-go!!!woot!!
-
That cover is kind of blurry, but it says "Jump Pirate Gang," the same way OP always says a pirate gang's title.
Is that Naruto I spy wearing a pirate hat? I think I just heard part of the internet imploding. snrk
-
brilliant chapter. and now for the new adventure.
funny how usopp & luffy are already best pals as before.
vivi is HOT and tashigi too.
-
Wow! I'm digging Franky now. He just fits in perfectly in that spread with the straw hats. Anybody else just would have been awkward. Franky himself is bringing back that old OP vibe now since he had joined. And now everything has died down, and now we can focus on another story. Thank the lord, cuz I was gettin tired of Water 7.
Oh and god damn, Usopp and Nami look great together in this spread.
-
Hooray! I love chapters!
-
This is AWESOME! Niiiice.
-
The ship's got a rocket booster! How many pirate ships do you know has that.
And to those who still loathe ship: Just get over it; nothing is going to change if you keep on complaining. Do not hate anything unless you give a good reason.
Anyway, you have to admit that Tashigi really looks a lot like Robin now. And also, I find the part where Cobra and his men crouching next to the table and reading the posters quite funny.
-
Ahhhhh, it feels so good to see Franky in the colorspreads now. Great chapter.
-
THanks for the RAW!!!. :)
3rd and 7th one?
Nami & Nico?Usopp and Franky. Oda counted Zoro as first.
Now, the chapter title alone raises questions, or at least it does to me. This means Oda is apparently still doing that "xth person" thing when someone permanently joins the crew - and he was indeed planning on Usopp taking a leave from the very beginning. However, we haven't seen the fifth and sixth person chapters yet… So is Robin gonna pull something like this again, somewhere in the future? And what about Chopper? -
Well I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but on page 10 the closeup of Tashigi with her glasses on, she looks awfully like Robin in that shot.
-
Thanks for the chapter.
Arn't Smoker and co on the same island Blackbeard was on in the previous chapters? :Ohmm might be since it looks all destroyed. maybe the reason we see smoker and tashigi is because next chapter blackbeard is going to hand over ace's beaten up body over to them.
-
Thanks BF~ :D
I knew the back of the ship is some kind of 'turbo'. :) So little action though… Hopefully a translation will come soon. Really need to know what Smoker talk about.
-
oh, nice, there's this good old pandaman behind smoker. how can he be nearly at the same time in W7 then here???
-
Thanks for the early chapter BF. Tashigi's new look looks awsome. Instead of Oda getting responses about if Tashigi equals Zorro's childhood friend they will be asking if Tashigi is Robin's long lost sister.
EDIT: LOL at Nami and Franky smashing their mugs into Ussop's face on the last page.
-

Pandaman = Chucky Norris disguised.

Thanks BF

I have to admit the endings for the Alabasta and Skypeia arc were done much better than this but I guess the chapter was ok since we got to see Smoker & Tashigi and Vivi & company.
Show more Vivi!!!
And 0-stars on how Usopp just seemingly blended back in after one I'm sorry, a small panel with the three stooges and nothing else? I wish I was like everyone else and had zero expectations but sadly I expected something more than a ship hopping up and everyone going "ooooooooo."
-
I'd imagine most of these little glimces in the manga of what's going on in the world will get turned into entire episodes of filler for the anime (or damn near full episodes).
-
Oda is really a mastermind. I can't help but like the way things are going, and we can bet things get much more interesting. Anyways, Vivi and Tashigi are smoking (no pun intended) hot! Smoker looks cooler too. Can't wait for next chapter and I want to see what Thousand Sunny can really do.
-
Thanks BF. That was a nice little closure chapter. Loving Tashigi and Smoker's new designs.
-
An early release…very nice, considering I'm going away tomorrow, I couldn't have planned it better. Thanks BF...
And so its bye-bye to Water 7...and on to the Fishman Island! This chapter showed what really makes One Piece what it is: the naming of the "Thousand Sunny", Garp with that immense ball-and-chain, the Coup de Boo escape, another promise to Coby, cameos by Smoker, Tashigi (who now looks...bigger), and Vivi and the Alabasta gang (though it would have been funny if Gedatsu had a cameo, it would have been out of place in Alubana). I can't wait to get to the next stop after spending three years along the Sea Train line..and onwards towards the New World!
-
frankys on the color spead, the jet thing on the back of sunny go was surprising
-
This post is deleted!
-
Man, Smoker's badassness is just out of control.
Tashigi's become quite the hotty too.I laughed so hard when Garp threw that huge cannonball at the SHs! Especially that the scene was done in a very humorous way.
Couple of shots of him show how dangerous he can look when he's mad…loved that!Cool closure chapter as we wave bye bye to water 7...What a wonderfull ride it has been.
Wonder how Smoker got that scar btw...
-
Oda is obviously stalling and waiting new years to definitely start a new arc, but cool chapter nonetheless. Loved Smoker and Tashigi new look, i don't think she's that similar to Robin now..different hair, eyes, nose.
And since Usopp was pretty much background for the entire chapter, i predict another 2 weeks of my roomate going "Usopp will do something awesome next chapter, wait and see!!". Oh well. -
Luffy totally made all the Jump stars his underlings in that cover. The ultimate disrespect. Funny indeed
Usually, the double issues (Christmas, New Year, Golden Week and Obon) always have "everyone" on the cover with the cover manga front and center and the more popular titles closer to the front than the smaller ones. Since this cover is the "beginning" of One Piece's tenth anniversary, I sort of see why they want it to look like "Luffy and his Jump Pirate underling". (though I do want to see closeups of all the skulls and crossbones..the only one I could really see was Gintoki's). Since the New Years issue has Naruto on the cover…well its not going to be "everyone as ninjas" (unless Naruto lasts to its 10th anniversary in '09), but he'll probably be front and center with Luffy and Ichigo and such by his side.
-
Wow, the raw this week is surprisingly high quality, not what I usually expect from a SJ scan, also it seems earlier than usual. Sweet, thanks for the raw.
-
Man, what a badass Garp is.
Did you see the size of that cannon ball?
Thank you very much of this RAW.…Smoker is very cool.
-
You know if next week is a double issue which if I remember last year is the case this would be the most perfect time to end the arc. That way I guess it would be next year actually when we would have a chapter so a new year and a new arc! I don't care what anyone says, this arc has been so perfect from start to finish I wonder how Oda will top himself. This chapter to me has perfect resolution and the last pannel with everyone doing kampai just made me smile.
Is it just me or does Vivi look like she has absolutely no waist?
Freakin Karue ftw :D
-
THanks for the RAW!!!. :)
3rd and 7th one?
Nami & Nico?At first I thought it was talking about Usopp and Franky but I counted and Franky was the 8th one. So Usopp and Robin?
Nami was technically their 5th member I'd say, since she wasn't really in the crew during the Kuro/Baratie arcs, she was just using them. It wasn't until after they defeated Arlong that she truly joined I think.

This week is double issue, which means next issue is going to be in the begining of next year.
Thank you Battle Franky.
