I'm probably in the minority in this opinion, but I do appreciate the closure of Rebecca and Kyros relationship and in extension Luffy's relationship and with them. It seems like for whatever reason the majority of the community or at the very least the majority of the vocal community disliked Rebecca. Each individual has their own niche reason on why she is a horrible character, I understand the feelings but I don't when it comes to her character in this arc. The human brain loves to find and compare patterns and connections, and its pretty good at it. I've heard "Rebecca is Vivi 2.0 and compared to Vivi, Rebecca is a piece of" but the comparison is not necessarily true. Vivi's character was fleshed out over the first five arcs(islands) of the Grand Line. She had time to develop her character and relationships with the Strawhats. Rebecca had none of the luxury of time to develop the way Vivi did in my eyes. Rebecca had only one arc to develop in the midst of a civil war on her island. Only 5 of the Strawhats maybe 6(Sanji) have actually seen Rebecca, of those 5 Shrawhats that stayed on Dressrosa, 3! I believe spent more than a couple of pages interacting with Rebecca. 3 of the 9, not a great percentage and automatically a handicap to Rebecca when compared to Vivi honestly. I do not see Rebecca's role and character in the arc as the main reason for the arc like Vivi's role was in the Alabasta arc. Rebecca's role was meant and designed to be a character building block for Luffy's character in the series. This help to build on Luffy's sense of justice when it comes to family and family matters. His interference into the royal family's business in this chapter and throughout the arc for that matter, was nothing more than the hidden feelings the actual characters involved had, but due to the fear and circumstances of the arc were never expressed. Luffy's carefree yet stubbornly impulsive attitude was not going to allow those feeling to stay hidden once the battles were over. Luffy knows how it feels to leave family issue unresolved. Simply put he wasn't going to allow Rebecca and Kyros to leave their issues unresolved, not in his character.

RE: Next Strawhat Crewmate (Vol. 6)
As far as we know, Zoro isn't officially the first mate. However, like Luffy, when the time comes, he fulfills the role. Nami may boss them around but that's as the navigator.
You could also have a parallel with Gol D Roger and Rayleigh with how they met, etc
No No I'm pretty sure we all know Zoro is the official second mate, you're meaning to say the Strawhat pirates went half the grand line with-out a second mate nah nah, the manga shows the little details between Luffy's and Zoro's relationship in confirming Zoro as the second mate

RE: Last Two Nakamates (vol. 5)

no for common nakama's " human , fishman tall.. huge… man ,etc ""my hope is one alien nakama , and oda confirmed aliens in OP already
How is Jinbe common. he is a fishman, in terms of OP time we haven't seen fishmen in this depth outside of Arlong. Common? NO. am I defending Jinbe No. but to call Jinbe Common is disrespectful to OP. Funny how reception can change When he was introduce everybody liked him now some people are calling him common. And aliens please stop it.

RE: Chapter 651 : "The Voice From The New World"
Has anybody mentioned this yet?
Look at this page: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v65/c651/4.html
Caribou has clearly lost a very prominent necklace + key on the same page.
I don't know what the Straw Hats need money for, really. I mean food, alcohol, materials, bronze statue.. you can't spend all that Fishman Island gold just on that.
But that key? That key is probably of REAL value.I think your drawing to deeply on this one mate, its just a necklace and its not a key its his shirt

RE: Chapter 650 : Two changes you need to know.
Not to get off subject on said chapter, (great chapter by the way) had the same feel to it as when the warlords first met or at least Doflamingo and Mihawk met. Some of your guys arguments bout Smoker make no sense to say he's not stronger then Luffy now post time skip, I'm not sure bout some of you guys but until Luffy defeats Smoker, Smoker!!!! is stronger. Pre-Grand Line Luffy was a Joke. yet in a short year on his trip through the first half minds started to change. And yet when they had their confrontation it looked like Luffy still feared Smoker. Some can't see Smoker increase his strength that dramatically in two years, well Luffy did it. "But Luffy trained under Rayleigh" and Smoker went to the New World. "But Luffy has Haki" yeah so does Coby and Haki isn't necessarily strength besides I'm sure Smoker has some form also. Listen we saw Luffy's "strength", "power", "power-level", "doriki" …..... "It's Over 4000" rise with each fight. Smoker should be Vice Admiral "strength" by now and all pre-time skip VA should have at least rose also. The Marines and World Government lost Aokiji, Garp, Sengoku, three Warlords and yet they're still around. there is a reason and it's not solely because of Akainu and the "Newest Warlord" Buggy :ninja:. Anyways back to the Chapter great chapter the Strawhat antics are back.

…Above all else, did you miss the memo that he "would never be allowed to roam free again?"
Anyway, girls, can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em...

RE: Chapter 648: The Path Towards The Sun
I wouldn't be surprised if the Strawhats stay on the island so Franky can at least repair some of Noah, wouldn't be surprised if the next arc starts like that and somehow implements Caribou and the up comingReverie
