Theory: Brooke's music and (presumably) album will have become so successful that it will have travelled the entirely of the Grand line. In doing so, Crocus will get a hold of this music and recognise Brooke by his afro.

In his lyrics, Brooke will have messages for Laboon, telling him to wait a bit longer as he fulfils the original promise as the last remaining member of the crew. That is, Brooke became famous precisely so that he could leave a message for laboon while simultaneously spending his time honing his skills for the benefit of the Strawhats.

Huzza!

Theory: The 'new' franky we have seen is not what he normally looks like. His arms have split into segments (presumably connected via chain as before) and the huge new BF37 stuff fits in-between the segments. On page 9 of the latest chapter, his left arm has what seems to be a vein popping out. That is, immediately after the huge sphere shoulder pieces is a short part of his legit arm.

His legs now have this random square cuts half way up the femur. I rekon this is a 'split point' just like on his arms. Notice how one chapter 598 in the colour spread this part of his legs were not shown and he appered way taller than the rest of the crew? Well maybe thats because more BF-37 pieces fit in between the segments of his legs as well, making his new legs and arms in proportion with each other and making him really tall.

If this is true, franky should be more or less in similar proportions as he always was, but when he 'powers up' he assembles himself as a killer robot thing. For new, we are only seeing him partially powered up

@Rubber:

This has probably been posted before

Sure has. Don't sweat it though - trouble is the slow-ass search tool on this website…

Norland was a lot stronger than Zoro (at least, the Zoro in Skypia). He effortlessly killed one of those giant snakes whereas Zoro couldn't even scratch one.

Sengoku ate the giant fruit model: super curly hair

@grunk:

Plus I get the impression he thinks religion is pretty stupid so he likes to poke fun at it.

That makes a lot of sense actually. Maybe Oda is an atheist. Hope so.

I rekon the flashbacks were the bast part of the series pre-Arlong. I can't speak for the manga, but in the anime they were ??? (need a word that means epic, beautiful and tragic at the same time)

Is Franky's skin real? If so, how is he going to grow it back after the explosion?

Maybe this has already been said, but does anyone else think that Robin is probably going to build that bridge to train her DF power and free the enslaved peeps?

Blackbeard will be the one to kill kizaru, Ace and luffy double team will take out aokiji and ace and mr 3 double team will take out akaino
