@Jabra:

Sanji's kick didn't manage to break the door, yet Franky blasted it off with ease…

Interesting.

Sanji was just sorta casually kicking door while Franky used one of his strongest attack on full cola.

@andre:

These fighting arrangements are insanely premature.

Your dick is insanely premature.

lol but on a serious note I enjoy any kind of predictions of theories regarding OP. I honestly don't see any reason to dislike the discussion.

@Md-Martin:

1. We don't know. It hasn't been elaborated on since it appeared. Out of your three listed powers I think this is the most likely to be Ambition.
2. Not sure. Hasn't been stated to be Ambition yet, and that leads me to believe that it isn't. What would Oda have to gain from having Sanji explain this part of the ability later on when he had a battle showing his new strengths since the timeskip.
3. It's not Ambition. The other ones COULD be, but this one is completely his Devil Fruit. It's the same argument as saying Robin is using Ambition to make her sprouted limbs strong enough to maintain the form of a giant one.

What exactly is 'ambition'? Is that a form of Haki? Thanks for the reply btw.

This is pretty off topic in terms of the discussion involving Punk Hazard lately, but….
How powerful do you guys think the gorousei are?

They're obviously not in charge of the World Government simply because they're smart. And judging their scars, they aren't just politicians.

@cp9shanks:

I did't read through the whole thread yet, so I'm sorry if someone already suggested this. Maybe this is the island where Vegapunk was working on giving the pacifistas the powers fromt he admirals, like Kizaru's Laser beams, but something went wrong with Akainu's and Aokiji's powers and that is why the island is volcanic and icy.

This comment got buried due to the incredible amount of bull shit posts about dragons being real and whatnot, but I could definitely see this as a possibility.
I like the idea of a Vegapunk-orientated arc really early in the Grand Line.

@Fleet_Admiral_Akainu:

I doubt. Smoker's subordinate said that Punk Hazard was closed by the Government since an incident that hapenned there 4 years ago, while Akainu/Aokiji fight happened during the 2 years that Luffy was training with Rayleigh.

That would actually make perfect sense! What better place to have two insanely powerful admirals have a fight to the death other than a deserted, closed off area???

There are some unexplained powers in the SH group that could be haki but also could be something else entirely…
1. Zoro's Asura technique
2. Sanji's Diablo Jambe
3. Brook's Freezing technique in the recent chapters.... "Brook has named his sword "Soul Solid", due to him developing the ability to coat it with the aura of his soul, freezing it in the process" which doesn't explain a whole lot.
Anybody have any solid theories on these?

Yeah there seems to be a huge flaw with the concept of the calm belt and the location of Raftel. It's not just the seastone ship that renders the Calm Belt useless but also flying zoans (Marco, Pell, probably others) and paramecias (Shiki could fly in the movie and it was a canon).
Hopefully Oda will address this issue soon.

I bet they'll meet one of the supernovas in the next chapter

I like the idea of Big Mam being a Pitcher Plant Zoan. It's much more unexpected than an Acid Logia and seems like something Oda would do.
Also the way Big Mam is drawn on chapter 651 is very different from the way her silhouette is drawn from when Garp is talking about the four Yonkos. http://i.imgur.com/hrdUk.png …..which leads me to believe that the drawing of her on chapter 651 is after she's transformed into her zoan form, and she's much smaller in her normal (usual) form. After all, that panel was right after she ate one of her followers, which she would not have been able to do in her normal state. (Plus Oda usually draws characters in ways that allows us to relate to them; the way Big Mam was drawn on 651 repulses the reader and she looks too inhumane).
