    • RE: Chapter 851: Tab End

      I know it's been a while but I'm back again.

      This chapter was awesome as always.. Now I hope Sanji goes into Mr Prince mode and come up with a plan..
      Brook calling a yonko a young lady is speechless..

      If I was to guess I will say Jimbie landed on 100years and Big mom took 100years of his life span and then let him go free.

      @Watch-man:

      Where do you go if I can ask ?

      Seems nice and sad at same time that you will have 3 months worth of One Piece chapters to catch up.

      This probably a very late reply but yes I went to Marine corps bootcamp for 3 months then.

      @Md-Martin:

      Is it possible that the Tea Party was delayed because of the incident at Fishman Island? Didn't Pekoms state back then that the candy from the factory was for the Tea Party? Since they had the delay on the candy I'm wondering if Big Mom postponed the whole Tea Party. After they left Fishman Island, Punk Hazard happened and they saw the broadcast of Ceaser and Smiley, and then the day after that they had their encounter with the Twirly Hats and then chased them to Zou.

      So I'd assume that all of that put the Tea Party on hold. However if Sanji was the intended groom from the start, or if his identity being revealed through his picture is what got Big Mom's attention has yet to be seen.

      Capone and Pekoms just said they received new orders from Big mom, and that was to bring Sanji back so this implies that Big mom got interested in Sanji after the new "only alive" bounty came out.

      @RomanceDawn:

      I don't know if I'm ready for something like that. First time I saw woman who was victim of spousal abuse, the child inside of me shrunk by 8 times that day. Something like that would justify his behavior in my eyes. But I won't be totally satisfied unless the dad was from a place further than the endless vearth and because of that became colleague of Vegapunk who some how infused Sanji with the swirly spirit of a devil. I'm not entirely joking either, I think Sanji's eye brows have major significants.

      So does the year of Sanji mean another year with no Jinbe in the story? Sanji could have crossed paths with Jinbe on his lone journey, right guys?

      Guys?

      Scratch that my theory. I just read enies lobby again and Sanji said to Nami and Chopper that he was "raised" to never hit a woman,
      Key word here- RAISED
      So Sanji not being able to hit a woman is not something he suddenly came to be after some accident but rather something he was taught to do right from birth.

      –- Update From New Post Merge ---

      @Owain:

      Maybe Sanji will finally get his head out his ass and kick a woman

      I highly doubt that Oda will make Sanji hit a woman, after Sanji has said over and over he will rather die.

      In fact there is more possibility to Oda giving Sanji King Haki to use and knock out women than hit one..

      And wait for 2016, Oda about to give us a reason why Sanji would have King Haki.

      –- Update From New Post Merge ---

      @maxterdexter:

      Sanji didn't treat food as a rich kid, he treated it as someone who had never suffered hunger, it was customers leftovers, some fishbones and stuff, I doubt there are many people in this forum that would eat some stranger's leftovers under regular circumstances.

      Well I don't disagree with you but nothing shows that it was customer leftover, even one of the chef asked Sanji are you not going to finish your food?

      @uniaka:

      Prediction time: I think the reason why Sanji doesn't hurt women is because his mother got killed in front of him when he was small.

      My theory on that is that Sanji's mom was always abused by the dad and when her mom was about to die she made Sanji promise her that he will never hit a woman or something like that.

      Sanji not hitting a woman is a dying promise to the mom.

    • RE: Jump Festa 2016 (19-20 December): One Piece Stage

      First of all let me point out the fact that Sanji being a prince has been forshadowed a lot, so when someone gets it right, it is not that he/she predicted it but rather Oda has thrown hints of it out there.

      2nd I have always kept saying that Sanji will get a backstory because of the "I will never hit a woman". In Dressrosa Oda gave mr pink and Baby 5 a serious sad backstory to why they dress and say what they say, there and then it was a guarantee for me that Sanji is definitely getting one as well.

      3rd- just like most of you, Sanji being a prince or world noble would be kinda not all that interesting since it has been done with Sabo and Doflamingo(except in Sanji case he would be the first world noble pirate, since Doffy wasn't one anymore).

      But you know what hasn't been done yet? Sanji being the son or grandson of a Gorosie, the blonde Gorosie looks the youngest and is the only one who's hair is not white so it could be Sanji is related to him? Now that will be an interesting story to hear.

      Last- I hope after the Sanji story that Oda puts Sanji back to his east blue self… Back then Sanji was a gentleman, funny and strong character.. Back then Sanji was going after women as a gentleman example: serving Nami food, having her not pay and calmly giving her flower nothing too extensive but now he goes after women all jumpy and shit, love eyes everywhere, love heart, turning to stone, bleeding, can't even talk properly.

      Eastblue Sanji- funny gentleman who is strong and badass
      Current Sanji- non-funny pervert, desperate guy who is just strong enough to be used as a hype in a badass way.

      But guys you know the funny thing? Even after all this shit Sanji character has been through and being absent for a year he still came in as the 4th most popular character. Now imagine if Oda has been consistent with Sanji character till now, he will probably give Luffy a run for the 1st place.

      One thing we know for sure is that Sanji is from a rich family and he is spoiled brat.

      I went back and read the chapters of Sanji starving with Zeff, and in one of the chapters Sanji had a flashback to how he was wasting foods, he ordered the cooks on his ship to throw away leftovers..

      And the thing Sanji said to Kuma, I will be the one to cause the most trouble.. Majority of the readers laughed at it thinking its Sanji sprouting nonsense to look as important as Zoro.

      I bet most of you have forgotten this scene but it seems Oda has planned out Sanji story a long time now.

      @pRopaaNS:

      Nice chapter regardless it was still a flashback. Just a question, who're "Curly Hat Pirates"? Is Sanji's eyebrow a hat or is it name of Jack's fleet?

      They are called "Curlyhat pirates" because Sanji is the acting captain. So "curly" from Sanji eyebrow and "hat" to signify that they are still strawhat pirates.

    • RE: Chapter 809: Master Nekomamushi

      @Rukusho:

      Yeah….I doubt Doflamingo needs anymore hype then he already had at that time.(Casually stopping Jozu with Parasite, Talks down to Crocodile, Breaks out of Aokiji's Ice with ease, Nearly Kills Moriah , Cuts off Little Oars Jr leg while laughing) I'm sure there's more but this is all prior to him meeting Sanji. Highly doubt Doflaingo needs hype after these feats, as stated before his Vergo encounter is debatable not his meeting with Doflamingo. I also don't think Sanji's minor moment with Blueno is a good example since he wasn't capable of breaking Tekkai, neither on Blueno or Jabra.

      I disagree with this…. Sanji encounter with Doflamingo is also debatable, not in a way of him beating Doflamingo but in a way he could probably give Doflamingo a tough fight.

      I say this because Doflamingo gave Luffy the same treatment he gave Sanji, not once but twice until Luffy pulled out his trumpcard gear 4. If Oda gave Sanji chance to fight then Sanji most definitely has his own gear 4 to pull out for a serious fight.

      All this Vergo shattered Sanji leg, and Doflamingo would've definitely killed him if he wasn't saved, I find laughable.

      A one piece veteran reader knows that all that is just a hype tool, Oda put Sanji in those situations without chance of fighting back just to hype the guys, no way does it imply Sanji doesn't stand a chance 1 v 1 with them…

      People were whining the same damn way back during the CP9, Sanji couldn't even make Blueno blink and people thought Sanji was hopeless against them that he will get wreckt..

      But that same Sanji proceeds to beat a guy way way more powerful than Blueno and this after Sanji got his ass handed to him by khalifa and yet he beat one of the most powerful cp9 with med-diff.

      Same with Luffy, he wasn't ready for new world, his 2yrs training was shit because he is having trouble with Hody and CC.

      Honestly you guys need to calm down and realize how one piece works.

      I know everyone already came to the conclusion that the mammoth is Jack with all the evidence and stuff… But for some reason the mammoth looks painfully just like Kaido....Kaido horns looks just like the trunks and Kaido hair or whatever is that on his back is exactly like the one on the mammoth. And the mammoth is like the size Kaido will be if he indeed turned into his zoan creature or Jack is a giant as well.

      Either everyone in Kaido crew is trying to look like Kaido, I mean Kaido has horns, sheepshead has horn and Jack seems to have horns too..

      Anyone here else think Jack may not even be part of Kaido main crew and he is just an ally working under Kaido?

      Zoro was most likely going to turn on Buggy in that version. Remember that Oda already had an early crew in mind at the time.

      So Oda replaced the Zoro working for buggy then turn on him and to Luffy idea with The giant that is now allied with Luffy

      Luffy, Zoro and Nami are the trigger/core of ONE PIECE.:ninja:Color Walk 1 (2001)
      Zoro > Sanji:ninja:
      One more week.

      Misunderstanding considering that Oda first thought of putting Zoro in buggy crew… Meaning Zoro might be one of the trigger/core of one piece but not as a Strawhat, so this leads to it being in a way of the world best swordsman and Mihawk thing- Oda wanted to write about a guy going after the title of best swordsman so that guy was Zoro and his reason for being one of the trigger.

      Doesn't giving them a drug that dramatically shorten their lifespan count?
      Well that's because he is suppose to be with Sanji's group.He also mentioned he did not care for him.

      He did not forgive Crocodile. He let him go for the same reason he punched didn't reunite with his crew, punched his friend,and punched his granpa: The life of his brother was on the line.
      Not good to have your readers rooting for the mad scientist,kidnaping children, shortening their lifespan and experimenting on them.

      We spent an arc focussing on how aweful Ceasar was? Oda insist on Barto being an hopeless with a strawhats spirit(helping Bellamy), Cavendish crimes are simpply part of his backstory(like Zoro killing that one dude) and we are not suppose to search the dirty thing done by the allies. Ceasar was all over our face with his villainy. It was insist so much it was almost cartoony.

      @Wintermute:

      We know him hundreds of chapters, and I still see no sign of him willing to be part of Luffys crew or be his ally. Maybe it's because he still is a treacherous asshole.

      Then what I will say to both of you is, let's wait and see who will be right.. CC for nakama/ally of strawhats or none at all, the result will show eventually.

      @Tangaroa:

      The whole 'I murder children' thing is kinda the big stumbling block. He has neither shown any sort of remorse over it, any active desire to change or extenuating circumstances.
      Caribou got a whole cover arc to suggest he's capable of sacrificing for others under his jerk exterior.
      Monet, whatever happens to her, has been hinted at that like Law and the other children of the Dofla Family she and her sister came from unrelentingly bleak circumstances and Doflamingo earned her complete loyalty. Her complicitness in Caesar's crimes, where she sees no difference in protecting the children and playing a part in their eventual deaths hints at more than a few mental problems.

      Caesar so far has been shown to be competitive, arrogant, ego-driven and callous towards even his own men. His dream is to build better weapons of mass destruction for fame and profit. He is a coward who caved utterly when he realized Luffy could physically hurt him. He shows no loyalty to anyone and has co-operated with the Straw Hats only because of their leverage only and for his own preservation.
      There is no evidence that when he gets his heart back he will not turn on his captors, indeed he has even said as much.

      So… got any arguments for him?

      Good arguments you got there but like I always said, the strawhats are pirates not saints and CC didn't even kill a single child, Luffy been asking about him, Sanji, Usopp and chopper were making jokes with him. Luffy could forgive someone like crocodile so why not CC? Ok people disagree with me on this. So why can't he be any ally then?

      Barto a pirate who burns people alive and was about to cut a prince of some nation tongue off is an ally, who knows what other horrific things the other Luffy allies have done and will do? Cavendish as hakuba slash and killed a lot of people including innocents and that's why Cabbage became a pirate.
      So now tell me why CC can't be Luffy ally?

    • RE: Chapter 803: Climbing the elephant

      @Jabberwok:

      It's pretty clear that the Revolutionary Army isn't about beating the WG through sheer military might. The whole point of their strategy is that they're not very strong in numbers, so they have operatives spread out fomenting dissent among target countries. The Revolutionaries' military strength probably isn't equal to a Yonkou's or they would have taken more direct action against the Marines.

      Or the Revolutionaries are like Fujitora and recognize that the problem is the WG, not the Marines, so their actions are focused on flipping WG-affiliated countries. Force is used only in self-defense since they'd prefer to keep the peace-keeping organization intact. That strategy seems naive for a guy like Dragon though.

      Well they should have military strength if they are all over the world and defeating and freeing countries/kingdoms… Ivankov during impel dawn when he thought Ace was Dragon son, he mentioned are the WG crazy? Trying to make two powers move at the same time or something like that- that right there puts Dragon on the scale of a yonko or maybe even above... Ivankov also mentions that the revolutionary army hasn't made their move yet, they are just waiting on Dragon meaning Ivan believe the revos are ready to take on the WG. But yes you are also right in a way, because everything I'm saying is nothing but hint hint here and there, we should wait and see the facts for ourselves.

      --- Update From New Post Merge ---

      @Australopithecus:

      What you say is reasonable, but you have to keep in mind that Dragon intends to overthrow the Government with the use of a large manpower, known as the revolutionary army, and most likely even an ancient weapon. Right now, Dragon appears to be vulnerable because, according to Burgess, he and Sabo are the only strongest individuals at Baltigo. His revolutionary army and revolutionary leaders appear to be scattered throughout the globe. Blackbeard is the type who won't miss this opportunity to launch an attack at their base. If he attacks Baltigo, he'll most likely bring his '10 captains'(and possibly even a legion of manpower along with Aokji) with him. I don't see Dragon defeated because he has a greater purpose to accomplish in this manga, but it is possible for the Blackbearded thugs to wound him. After all, they are known for ganging up on people(Ace, at Banaro Island; and Whitebeard, at Marineford). It will be too much for Dragon, in my opinion. But since Dragon has given the order to gather the leaders of the revolutionary army together before Burgess could call out his buddies, there is a possibility for that not to happen. It would serve as a good opportunity both to introduce all the revolutionary leaders and to show us just how strong they are. It would also be a good opportunity to show us who the tenth captain of the Blackbeard pirates is. In this case, a short fight that causes the Blackbeard pirates to recede would be best, in my opinion. The only problem the revolutionaries would be worried about then is the jeopardized location of their HQ.

      Well because Burgess mentions only Dragon and Sabo name doesn't mean they are the only strong ones there, Oda can't have Burgess giving out names of other top guys of revolutionary army like that, so if there are others on the island then we will only know about them when Oda gives them proper introduction.. No way I'm I going to believe that the most wanted man in the world stays in his HQ by himself with no other top members by his side at always.
      BB attacking revolutionary HQ and Dragon and Sabo are the only strong ones there, that will be a bad writing in odas part. That's like going to attack marine HQ and not expect to run into Akainu with 2 other admirals with multiple vice admirals and by the way Dragon also just called other leaders.

      The burgess part I'm still waiting for Oda explanation. How can an island the WG and others have no clue about is easily found by a dying Burgess so casually and easily? Me personally think Sabo did it intentionally, Sabo knew Burgess was there and brought him to the HQ and probably has told Dragon about it and that will explain why Dragon asked Kola to summon the leaders all over the world, after all we know that Sabo talked to dragon after he arrived.

      I see you weren't aware of what you wrote.

      You said and I quote:

      This appears like you are mocking people's ideas. That is why, in my humble opinion, he told you to be nice. That post could have been considered as "flame trolling" or "flamebait" because it could cause multiple people to negatively respond to it.

      @S.C.:

      The Marines are the largest branch of the WG we have seen, and the Warlords were also there at Marineford. And for Cipher Pol, unless you have a unique appearance, you're basically a Marine mook in a suit.

      Yes they are the biggest branch of the WG we have seen, but, according to the gorosie Akainu and the marines are nothing but an ant to the WG. Or my memory fails me on what they actually said.

      @Han:

      Also dragon always thinking about his son luffy. First time he show up on chapter 100 he say to luffy "go if that's your destiny and what reason is there to stop a man from sailing". I think dragon is a good father and always help luffy from behind.

      I think Dragon is the type of dad that wants their kid to be a man already and make decisions on their own, seeing the world from their own point view and not get influenced by others opinion and views and come to a conclusion on what they want to do.

      –- Update From New Post Merge ---

      @hosemisnuba:

      Just because you help your son (who doesn't even know about you, let alone knows your his father, mind you) 1 (There are no other occasions, as you falsely state, where Dragon directly helps Luffy) time, does not mean you are a good father. A good father, at least according to me, actually takes an active role in his child's life and has a positive impact on his child. If we followed your definition of a good father, then even completely terrible fathers, like Van Hohenheim (FMA) could be considered good fathers (and even then, I'd actually say Van Hohenheim is a better father than Dragon, as he actually helped raised his sons in their earliest years, something which Dragon, obviously, did not.)

      That defines a good father to you but not to everyone… People are different, that means they see things differently from you, so what you consider good could be bad to others but what you consider bad could be good to others so always have an open mind in things first before you judge... Because dragon isn't there and didn't raise Luffy doesn't mean he is a bad dad and doesn't care about his son, he might've started this revolutionary stuff to overthrow the WG so his son(Luffy) can grow up in a better world, you never know. That's why I love Oda, he is just writing different kinds of people and personality in his story.

      @RomanceDawn:

      Beat is a strong word but it is a possibility. So after accomplishing almost nothing in Dressrosa, what was the purpose of Burgess being there? We have the set up, at the very least there will be some confrontation. And be a little nicer to people sheesh.

      Revolutionary army hasn't even done anything noteworthy since how many years ago they were introduced..Everytime we see Dragon he is asking to assemble all the leaders all over the world, leaders we've never seen till today, except Ivankov, Sabo I guess. Revolutionary army are suppose to be fighting World government itself, not even pirates could do something like that.

      Revo are trying to overthrow the WG who has more than 20 kingdoms under them… Yonko WB with all his 48 allies still wasn't enough during Marineford war, this a war against only a small branch of WG, they are still other branches like CP0-9, impel down, shichibukai and others we don't even know about yet.

      So if in any way that Blackbeard was even able to damage the revolutionary army or cause them huge lost then I will laugh my ass off at what a joke this is. How was Dragon planing on overthrowing something that's way bigger than a yonko with allies if he can't even handle a yonko?

      @GetsugaZoro:

      Yeah unless we get a Mink villain, kinda like Enel, controlling his people and keeping them isolated or wtv, well I'm really not sure of anything so I'm hoping whatever is coming or is happening is hinted at this chapters, this is the 4th chapters in a row I believe so I'm smelling a break and Oda likes to have a great cliffhanger for a break.

      Yep definitely a break after chapter 803…. If not then Oda will be breaking his record of breaks.

      @GetsugaZoro:

      Kaido people must be there besides Sheepshead and those other 3, so I assume they will wreck some Kaido fodder at least.

      Not sure if we get a villain from the island, some strong Kaidou liuetenant or Webble actually gets to Zou before the arc ends(which I doubt) as the actual main villain of the arc, I would have liked it to be Jack after he was confirmed as part of Kaido crew but it seems not.

      That's my point, this villain better arrive at the end of Zou or during Zou because if there is already a villain on Zou I would call B.S. on why the swirlyhat's didn't beat this said villain that's if they have been in Zou all this time.

      Who here will find it weird if Luffy and co land on Zou and there is a big bad guy waiting there for them and Luffy proceeds to defeat him. Keep in mind that the swirlyhat's has been in Zou for atleast a week and they did not defeat this big bad guy but rather was hiding and waiting for captain Luffy to come save the day island like always?

      Lol Oda said he searched for power up in the world.. Does he just google different cultures trying to figure the best power up or what?

      Ok the elephant leg has been bothering me since it seems like his standing up, so I went in search and found this.

      The elephants, inspired by Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture base in Rome of an elephant carrying an ancient obelisk, are portrayed 'with long, multi-jointed legs.

      There is actually a popular elephant painting that has a very long leg while carrying a castle on his back. So do you think this elephant in one piece will turn out to have such long legs?

      I'm I the only one here wondering how long this elephant island legs are?

      I mean the elephant doesn't seem to be floating or swimming in the ocean but rather standing up, and oceans go as deep as 10,000ft down.

      Whitebeard was only interested in playing house with his crew and somehow ended up as world strongest man… Something totally went wrong somewhere.

      --- Update From New Post Merge ---

      @HikaruYami:

      I've said it before and I'll say it again: the reason Zoro has to be stronger than Sanji is because Zoro can't do anything besides fight.

      Luffy: only fights (and is the captain)
      Zoro: only fights (and is first mate)
      Sanji: fights AND COOKS
      Usopp: snipes (and is thus the best at sniping). Also, lying and storytelling are arguably marketable skills. Just ask all of the creative writing majors the US is plagued with. And hey, I'll be the first to admit that One Piece is good enough that I'd read it even if it were just a novel.
      Everyone else has actual marketable skills besides fighting, just like Sanji.

      Jabra was only an assassin but lost to Sanji. I don't think it works like that.. Luffy doesn't train or anything but you know the rest.

      At this moment you guys should take Sanji as a comedic strong character who will once in awhile fight and defeat strong people but nothing too serious about him, his comedy side will always overshadow anything good about him.

      Usopp is next buggy who will be getting every good thing by luck.

      The eleven supernova, the monster trio, these are private things that one person uses, not the way that the world knows these characters.

      Well I don't know about that, maybe not everyone in the world but not everyone in the world knows even what Luffy looks like.

      I've seen characters call the M3 monster trio, recent example being Caribou on the way to fishman island.

    • RE: Next Bounty Predictions (Dressrosa Arc)

      At this moment bounty is neither strength nor threat, bounty is what Oda feels like giving to a character.
      Zoro's 200m increase was nothing compared to the threat and strength Luffy showed before he got his own 200m increase.
      Usopp increase is ummm idk. Joke too far?
      Chopper strength wise should be in the 100m+ Another joke too far.
      Sanji? Come on now his bounty right now just proves bounties are a joke. If people are judging Zoro's increase cuz of strength then Sanji's should be high as well. He destroyed a pacifista just like Zoro, he fought a vice admiral, he clashed with Doflamingo, he survived against big mom crew, he survived against Kaido crew, Capone after them he probably survived too but only gets 100m increase?

      bounty is nothing but a joke at this moment, Oda gives bounty to characters with the mindset of "This character is a serious character, ahh this a comical character" etc.

      Killer has been in new world for 2years and he only has 38m bounty increase, whaaaattt? Strawhats just for being strawhats had more bounty increase in less than a week in NW than killer did in a whole 2 years of wrecking havoc in new world or hiding in NW.

      And what is your point? Ennis Lobby was 9-10 years ago and only now we got a new bounty upgrade for the other crewmembers.

      Well like I said, I have a feeling some of them will get a bounty increase soon, not until some yonko stuff.

      I'm expecting it to go up when something really big happens again, which is probably going to be them beating a Yonko.

      Them beating a yonko won't happen anytime soon, atleast 5 or more arcs which will be years for us

      I have this feeling that most or half of the strawhats bounties will go up again soon, like after next arc or something while half won't.ex: Luffy won't be getting another bounty increase anytime soon.

      @uniaka:

      Pre TS Sanji had 77 bounty and zoro 120, so that's almost double. Post TS zoro haS 320 AND SANJI 177, so that's also almost double.

      If this goes on, then on the next bounty update, if Sanji gets 277, the next bounty of zoro would be 520. He would surpass Luffy and Law, wow. Oda doesn't joke at all about Zoro, does he?

      I don't think that's how the pattern works.
      Zoro always surpasses Luffy previous bounty while Sanji always surpasses Zoro previous bounty.
      All monster trio have something in common, they all were in that 100million mark then from there their bounty skyrockets up with a 200million increase.

      So by that logic Sanji's next bounty increase will be around 377million and Zoro 420million.

      7th shichibukai looks like Shiki, and its believable for Shiki to cut an Admiral's arm off and he was a swordsman but Shiki doesn't look like someone who will beg for his life.

    • RE: Next Bounty Predictions (Dressrosa Arc)

      I'm I the only one who has this feeling that the swirlyhat crew the other 4 strawhats will have the highest combined bounty increase? Maybe I'm day dreaming.

      But come on think about it for a minute
      -Swirlyhat vs big mom ship- we don't know what happened but if they did something to the ship they will definitely get a bounty- some guy mentioned sinking orlumbus Yonta ship will make them famous, now imagine what sinking a yonko ship will do.

      -swirlyhat vs Kaido men, again have no idea what happened but if word gets around that 4 strawhats beat some of Kaido's men and sheepshead seem like a low ranking commander.

      • Capone said he will definitely capture CC and 3 days has passed since he said that, so either he found swirlyhat crew and attacked and defeated them or swirlyhat's defeated Capone or escaped or Capone never found them in those 3 days.

      -New world underworld brokers/pirates who formed alliance because they are pissed at Luffy came to Dressrosa and tried to attack Luffy. Don't forget that Barto said Bigshot pirates will come after them now, meaning there is a likely that some pirates saw the sunny strawhat ship and attacked it so swirlyhat's have to defend themselves by escaping or defeating the so called pirates within this 3 days.

      Right now, Oda has so much reason and options to increase swirlyhat's bounty incredibly high and no one would question it.

      @Katzztar:

      Huh? what hints?
      … we have absolutely no info on Sanji's past before he was a trainee cook on that ship and I don't see anything of Sanji hinting at being royalty, esp. when we have had royals in hiding before and gotten hints of that such as Vivi was hinted at before with Dalton thinking he's recognized her and then her anger at how Wapol abandoned his people.
      I never saw anyone think of Sanji came from a royal family until people started to joke after he used the "Mr. Prince" alias on Little GArden then some people took the joke as serious.
      Yes, back on Little Garden he called himself "Mr. Prince" but that's not hint to his past, it was a call to his personality of a "Prince Charming" to the ladies.

      Sorry for the late reply been busy…
      Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Sanji is absolutely a royal, all I'm saying is that they are hints or things that makes it look possible. I can go on and on about the hints but it's too many to type out, so I will just post this video and let you watch and see if it's possible or not.. Remember, I'm not saying it's going to happen but rather 50/50 chance of being true. Also know I disagree with most of what he says in this video.

      !

      @ICEMAN:

      Hopefully we get a glimpse of the swirlyhat's situation next chapter. They probably have ended beating more of Kaido's forces, met up with the remaining HP's, or captured.

      Not glimpse, but the whole arc should be switching to the swirlyhat's from next or 802 chapter onwards will be about the swirlyhat's.

      I hope.
