I expected more, but a translation is necessary for full enjoyment.

Which is fine.

Ember of History or Flame Of Fucking Rock Win?

Franky ripped the back out of another man during his self rebuild and fused this man's spine and back muscles into what was left of his body, metal and all. Thus he's after Franky.

So now this guy has a new back that he ripped out from wandering mermaids like Camie and the procedure was done by a shoddy, blind doctor. Hence the aching. His back is also covered in the faces of his victims as trophies.

He carries a large gun that he crushes in his hand from time to time due to a Freudian penile complex.

It all makes so much sense now.

The One Piece movies past 4 sucked totally.

What can you do?

Ok, this chapter is fucking awesome. It's a left field take on the typical flashback chapters we have.

It's a lot less of a story and, instead, pot marked with events between friendly reminders that Brooke's crew was absolutely slaughtered by the Grand Line.

Hell, it seems to just say, bluntly, "There's not much of a story here to be told. Just a long series of shitty events."

But, Hey, what can ya' do?

Shit rocked. Can't wait till the next chapter.

I want to believe.

@Gorlom:

I could have sworn someone sprouted that stuff in the dumb predictions thread or some where before this chapter…

Don't read 'em. I am not in the know.

So the teasing is over and the real shit actually begins.

Lovely!

Maybe he's just drawing a zombie ogre giant with a manipulated shadow.

Maybe that's really all anyone really needs to know.

@Mantisk:

Can't be, Nami is half-mermaid. Just wait and see!

Then she can release her eggs into my localized waters any day.
