@Jammer:

1. Yeah, I agree, with Chopper's sense of smell, you'd figure he'd be able to tell who the real Strawhats are, but consider this a)Maybe he lost their scent over the two years, or b) it's just a throwaway joke that we really don't need to read into too much. Oda often sacrifices logic for humor.

2. Zoro's part was definitely a callback to Mihawk's entrance, so yes, I think that was intentional. And I honestly just found the whole scene humorous, not mysterious. He just got on the wrong ship and had to fight his way out once he found out. Since when has he ever had a problem with cutting a few people down that are in his way?

3. Luffy probably didn't think they were worth the effort. If he can knock them out with haki why bother moving? Plus he's probably trying to keep a low profile.

4. I have no idea. Franky should switch to Coke Zero.

2. I guess I was thinking how Zoro could have said it in a Mihawk-ish voice, deep and a little reverberating. You're right. Ship in half, same thing as Mihawk.

4. Nah, Coke Zero don't have enough fizz to keep him going. I'm still waiting for those arms to be detached and/or fitting into part of the machinery/weapon on the Sunny. That would be awesome.

Awesome chapter, except I have a few lingering questions.

1. What happened to Chopper's sense of smell/vivre card he got from Shakky? He is so lost on Sabaody that it's not making sense. It does make a convenient comedy scene and gets rid of the fake Strawhats, but still…

2. Was Zoro meant to be so ... poetic on the last page? Did Mihawk really rub off on him that much? Maybe the training had more of being more like a mysterious person than just a grumpy person.

3. Awesome haki skills from Luffy! He can direct it and it's pretty powerful, but the fake Strawhats did recover pretty fast. Did Luffy go easy on them, or they're not worth the effort?

4. Franky's still drinking cola, although it seems he can down a barrel at a time. His hair is still short though. Maybe it means he's on power saver mode and not using that much cola?

Can't wait for 600 and Brook to be back on the Sunny!

@Shinkai:

Has anyone seen this yet?

The cover is awesome.

I am hopefully getting this for Christmas! I love this opening.

Brook, because of the rockstar look and the least expected.

Ussop is very close though…

@Urouge:

I bet he does, and it's a cool idea. Nobody on the crew should be weak enough to be seriously bothered by them, and it's a pretty hilarious security system.

Now that you've said it… Does haki work on plants?

@AlmostLegendary:

Ah I see the only two problems I have with the chapter is 1 not seeing Zoro and 2 not seeing Franky. Yea we got a color spread however, the whole crew should of gotten screen time in the first chapter IMO.

I like the idea of the fake SHP I didn't think anyone would try and take Luffy's identity. I'm also hoping we can get a new crew member out of this. Also think of it like this if not for the fakes Robin would of gotten caught ^_^.

Also like Usopp's new attack it'd be a shame if he lost it because he ran out of ingredients. YOu didn't like Usopp's new design?

I want to see COBY!!!!!!!!!!

I love it! It makes him so much … manlier? I just didn't like the idea of Pop greens as weapons. He's going to run out, and I don't want monster plants growing on or around the Sunny.

@piratemarimo:

Luffy's scar does look like a burn and not a wound from a sharp object, but what I'm curious about is how Akainu magma fisting him would have made an X-shaped mark like that.

I agree. Unless it's old wounds (Akainu) and new ones (training)…

@Xazorik:

I'm just excited cuz it looked like she did it on will alone…no weapon...

You see them first when she was dragging Ussop out… Maybe her shoes are modified to make them?

@Renegadesoul:

I heard it was caused by a RED DOG who happens to have a FALCON PUNCH.

That learned Zoro's first technique!

@AlmostLegendary:

After re reading the chapter again. When did Rayleigh leave luffy? Luffy says he left half a year ago and Rayleigh says he hasn't seen luffy in a year.

It is half a year. That's just a translation error.

Awesome chapter! I nearly died when I saw the scar on Luffy's chest… I wonder what put it there...

• Brook's new look! SOUL KING! Brook is the only one who arrived in style!
• Serious Luffy and his shirt. Maybe we'll get different colored shirts instead of vests now...

• Zoro's eye scar. It looks too much like Rayleigh's

• Sanji's new look. It's hilarious. I wonder what's in his backpack...
• Buffsop! He looked a bit like Ace when his profile was shown, doesn't he?

• Pop greens. How is Usopp going to maintain his supply? I hope he doesn't grow those monster plants on the Sunny...
• Fake SHs. They're guinea pigs, but still very annoying...
• Franky's new look... I really hope those arms are retractable/detachable, or he modified the Sunny to an extent that he can fit through the doors.

• Chopper! I'm so glad he didn't change much in appearance or demeanor. He's perfect as he is!
• Nami and Robin's new looks. Long hair makes Nami so much more mature, and Robin looks like a secret agent!

I'm going back to read it again!
