@Cyan:
There was a lot more that destroyed that delusion than the timeline.
That's for sure..
Good times..
I'm sure it is the case for a lot of people with lives that sleep is fantastic enough a thing, and being productive and capable during the day an important enough a thing, that losing sleep for random consumption of media that could also happen at other times is not a viable option.
Also a simple idea really.@Nami: I'm for sure eager to participate in late night movie watching events to hang out with AP viewers from other time zones, if there's enough interest for that to become a thing.
True.
For me, I can just stay up with no caffeine and be great for the next day. I've done it for months straight as well. I try to avoid it now even though I want to spend more time on other things at night as I can't during the day.
People are just so different aye
@Galaxy:
Sanji is twenty one years old, and this stuff takes place after the Corazon flashback (which was 16 years ago).
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Yes, this exists in some works of fiction.
Doesn't mean it applies here, because it would hold no plot significance.
Yea, I guess after I looked at it chronologically, yea this seems to be the case.
@Galaxy:
Sanji is twenty one years old, and this stuff takes place after the Corazon flashback (which was 16 years ago).
Exactly why i mentioned it.
I always refer to dates when creating a theory, and I just remembered this which in turn made it implausible.
It's what also ruled out with Sabo being Doflamingos brother.
The events that have taken place and the age difference makes it impossible.
@Cyan:
Gimlet being secretly alive would serve no narrative purpose and be really stupid, sorry.
Well Pink and Franky are going to have a drink and talk about what "happened" so it said..
There might be a story behind it. IMO I don't think he's "secretly alive", infact he could be right in front of us (Sanji).
I mean, Look at how Pink dresses up, his fashion style.
Yeah it might actually not be the case because the thing against this are the years and time of events.
Maybe it just isn't, oh well..

@Galaxy:
plot twists from the totally random and wacky Oda.
I've just heard so many stories of wives claiming that their children are dead to their husbands, but they actually took them somewhere else to some sort of foster parents in a different location in order to "protect" their child from their fathers life.
But that's just me.
@Galaxy:
I took it as just being the force of his kick, yeah.
I think i remember a whole debate on this with Dofla being able to use Rankyaku.
The force of his kick (not being rankyaku) sounds beastly. I can accept that.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Did you really want Oda to outright Nationwide the kid?
Whats that mean??
@Galaxy:
Oda does not advise Toei on every little detail.
Hody Jones wouldn't have had a tragic past in the anime if he did.
Not EVERY
That could be one :ninja:
@Cyan:
Yeah no, Gimlet is dead, sorry.
Thank you Oda for your confirmation.
Do you have more of those stupid jokes?
I wasn't joking.
In order to achieve more in a game, or catch up with a series, or watch a movie at a specific time you skip sleep..
Simple?
careful now, this time I won't be so generous :ninja:
But seriously..
What if she found out that Pink was a pirate, and she bullshitted pink to "save" gimlet from him.
She brought him somewhere else.
It's not confirmed.
He's dead mate:
! http://puu.sh/foUxb/9b31999ece.jpg
http://puu.sh/foUBZ/d50e87e64e.jpgI think it's about time we give up on that joke.
Wanna bet? :ninja:
Great Idea!
Unfortunately it will be hard for the european people to take part of it cuz of stupid timezones :<
But I'd try it!
So you've never heard of skipping sleep?
The parasite needles aren't needles.
Needles or not, I have been proving this theory time and time again.
Doflamingo will program that small parasite thread and the people that get caught by it will do what Doflamingo wanted them to do.
Doflamingo can't control EVERY single person, with his hands in fight situations or wherever, he will control someone by his own hand. Like Riku.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Mr.:
Hmm, could look at it that way with the string portions being invisible to the naked eye. Though the special attention paid to the needles was kinda odd. Hardly anything to get upset over at any rate. The Fujitora filler was to only real annoyance.
I'm pretty sure Oda can advise the Anime developers on what they can add.
The Japanese title of the chapter is "Rushian ni ai o komete/ルシアンに愛を込めて" meaning to "To Russian with Love."
The Bond film "From Russia with Love" is "Roshia yori ai o komete/ロシアより愛を込めて."
The "russian" in the alcoholic drinks white russian and black russian is spelt the same as the title "ルシアン/rushian" For those of you saying Russian isn't a person's name, neither is Gimlet. Deal with it.
Gimlet is actually a french name.
It is also the name of a french cocktail..
I wonder, missing child.. appears to be french.. i wonder who that is?

! SANJI!!!

i dont want to see Timeskip again :(
We never saw the last timeskip bro.. we never did…
Dang are people still on the "need another timeskip" debate. Wasn't the whole point of the first to get Luffy prepared for the New world. Instead of going back to train after two islands.
.
Thats true.
Your still not ready Luffy, go back and train with Shanks..
He needs more than gear 2nd and 3rd.
His new gear i believe in wont be a "big attack" like gear 3rd. It would be in the same category as Gear 2nd. Except deadly, non conscious sort if gear. Oda could do anything, but it would be wicked.

@Galaxy:
Viz's Chapter 775 translation comes out Monday.
I mean, i wanna subscribe now
@Galaxy:
It's likely a translation detail (and I'm willing to bet it's about Mansherry's power, but we'll see).
Send me link please? Ill get lost.
@Daz:
If he can use Parasite on a country-wide scale without appearant effort (or any waggling his fingers), while simultaneously fighting himself, and using a string clone, then I don't think a few more clones are out of the question.
As far as I can tell, either
- Everyone sans Luffy is incapacitated
- They get something else to fight/prevent, or
- Doflamingo finally uses parasite to pit his enemies against each other. I'm really surprised that Bellamy vs Luffy is the extent to which the "Friend vs Friend heartbreaking puppetshow" potential has been capitalized on so far.
The name parasite speaks for itself. Its ability to enter someones body and control them leaves less effort for Dofla. Its more of a go and do ur thing.
Dofla sees and talks through the string clone and my theory is that the more he has out the less power they have because Doflas mind has to be focussed on so many things at once.. Unless he can selectively choose which one to talk to.
If i remember correctly, when the original was talking to Law, the fake was talking to Luffysaying the exact which in turn left Luffy confused as to what Do-fake-mingo was talking about.

Oda dislikes 2 vs. 1, so it's unlikely.
Where did you get that from
made a bet, he lost. he tried to pay, I denied the payment.
paypal made out with 0.69 AUD
so really, paypal is the big winner here.
Checked it. Paypal reversed 69 cents too
No need of that, Doula already outclasses them both Luffy and Law, that's why Law should use his arm and stamina he's got left to be Luffy's support.
The Bird Cage it's what it looks like i'll become a shitty monster the rest have to deal with.
I was talking in reference to Dazs point. What if Zoro, Sabo, Fuji, Luffy and everyone else is taking Doflamingo all at once.
Sp the question is, if that happens, what dpes Doflamingo have? As Daz said, everyone joining the Riku picnic is stupid.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Mind you, that however does not make it any less plausible.
Amen to that Darth… Amen..
So, why did you pay him for the bet if he hasn't actually accepted it?
Or am I missing something?
He said i didnt have to pay him. But i kept my word and did.
He chose to refuse himself :)
did they still charge you for it? that's lame. No worries, I'll send you the difference.
Ill see, dw bro it really is nothing haha
[qimg]http://i.imgur.com/HfbXWKE.png?1[/qimg]
Yup. But I'm going to deny it. Spend the money on something One Piece related or something.
(Hopefully Paypal doesn't charge you anything for the transaction. if it does, let me know)
Read the message?
@Daz:
With the remainder of Doffys subordinates being, in all likelyhood, taken out in the next few weeks, I can't help but wonder:
How will Oda keep everyone sans Luffy occupied, during his fight with Doflamingo? I mean, currently theres no clock tower bomb, they can't really help evacuate, theres no buster call ships full of marine captains, and Doflamingo isn't floating in some unreachable ship. Unless Oda is somehow going to leave everyone from Sai to Zoro incapacitated from their battles, Doflamingo is going to have to pull some last minute shenanigans (String Clone army? Parasite on the people opposing him, instead of just civilians?) in order to give everyone something to do. Either that or Doffy is taken down mere moments after everyone else.
Or everyone could just join Usopp, Viola, Riku, the Samurais and Fujitoras picnic party I guess, but that wouldn't be very satisfying.
Maybe Doflamingo is actually in an entirely new level and pulls off some Hakuba shit and has a second personality twice as strong :ninja: you never know.
String clones are operated by Flamingos mind, 1 mind for a bunch of clones is too much for anyone to handle.
I do think Dofla has something under his sleeve, especially since hes mentioned killing Fujitora. But i honestly would think thats actually done by sugar because Dofla would be in shit for killin an Admiral if he does pull it off.

Just a few posts earlier he said he said he started from the beginning with the anime and started the manga during Dressrosa
Thats fine then, didnt see that
Hopefully he will read the start of Dressrosa. I watch both anime and read manga. The Anime is so stupid.
As Gore pointed out, these next chapters are gonna only get better unless Oda gives the Tontattas more stuff to do. We only have the main executives and Doffy to go with the fights. I started reading the manga around 718, just after catching up to the Anime last year in May. So, this is my first time getting to see the main fights in manga form, classic One Piece style pre-Whitebeard stuff. What can I say, I am really pumped to see this unfold. I can imagine what the hype is for the people following the manga since the beginning.
Also, I hope Oda has invented a new gear or something, it's been a while.
IMO it has been my theory that Luffy will have a new gear or something similar. We know Luffy hasnt gone all out yet.. But this would be the meaning of all out as Doflamingo has no where near exerted himself EVER to his limits, if not, dare i say exerted at all.
Hes the head hancho for a reason and he is the BIGGEST key to succeeding in the new world. We've got Yonkous, Shichibukai, Marines, Revo army, Yonkou commanders, pirates, nation leaders all either dealing with him or gunning for him.. Thats why hes such a great character
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I'd put Chopper above Usopp, he's got Monster Point.
Usopp has great potential to be a an amazing fighter. His unlocking of CoO gives him opportunity to increase his combat skill by a lot.
Usopps lack of endurance and self belief at times hinders him.
I can definitley see Usopp surpassing his father. Its all about mentality. Hes still young and new to the world. He will make a great asset to the SH crew as he has this arc.
(you didn't think I was gonna let you get away did you?).
And i thought that was a legit link.. RIP

How I didnt seen it ?!
:ninja:
I am a fan of half truths when it comes to forum behaviours.
For example Nami thing is for fun but part with Zoan user - a woman - joining is what I would really like( some purely fighter woman joining is thought that stayed with me since Amazon Lily arc).
I do believe that crew would use a strong female fighter(not a radical feminist though ) and it would be something fresh to see imo.
Mind = Blown
lllllllllll
I guess you owe me 10 bucks now
And thats where the valuable lesson comes in. If money says something.. Dont trust it.
Whats ur paypal?
enjoy =D
Exciting news, there are rumours that One Piece is getting a colour spread next week. Look forward to it!
10 bucks says it's just Nami eating food while Usopp is dancing.
I like it, Franky is getting close to Sanji. He blasted that door down when Sanji just dented it back at Punk Hazard.
We haven't seen Sanji pull anything off yet.. but as for now I would honestly lean towards Franky being able to take on the same oponents as Sanji if not take on more. Franky has taken on at least 5 officers at this point.
Sanji honestly did not have a place to shine in Dressrosa..
It's like me on god damn Battlefield, hell I'm a pretty great player, sometimes I just do so shit and I can't handle it. Once i settle i become MLG
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
When we first met Senor Pink I thought he was awesome. His outfit was weird and his personality was hilarious, and that's what made him amazing. As we saw more of his fight with Franky, his quirks changed from funny to… still funny, because Senor Pink is the manliest man and always has been. So when this chapter came out and we saw this emotional flashback, I was surprised to find my feelings had changed from affection to even more affection. Senor Pink used to be my favorite Donquixote officer, but after this chapter he's now
one of my favoritesthe best goddamn henchman ever.All joking aside this was a very solid chapter, but I still like the two Bartendish chapters a little bit better. The brief dwarf scene at the beginning didn't grate on me as much as it has on some others and the life force limitation placed on Mansherry's fruit should hopefully quiet some of the complaints about it's potential broken-ness. I think it's a fair assumption that the magnitude of the Restoration corresponds to a greater toll. Restoring Dressrosa for Doflamingo probably would have cost her several decades of life, if not more.
The actual fight between Franky and Pink was a bit underwhelming, especially considering the glimpses of manly competition we'd caught over the past few chapters. Iron Boxing was an appropriate move to use but as far as a finisher goes it lacked the charm of pre-TS Franky Boxing and the impressiveness of other moves we've seen. Could've sworn Franky said he'd armored his back recently.
The flashback itself was poignant and basically flawless. Though, did it start raining on Dressrosa or something? They also seemed to have moved outside for their fight too.
I was thinking this as well.. I hope not, because when the anime comes out it's not that beautiful, serene area where Doflamingo lives and owns. Ahem* serene… cough cough
This was the thing I was addressing, the idea that Luffy is so far below the level he needs to be combat-wise that the series needs another training timeskip that would complete fuck up the pacing and the power level of the series. I'm guessing you jumped in cause you perceived a slight on you favest character ever doflamingo sempai he's so super strong he's the best!!!
Anyway what I meant by "Luffy hasn't looked close to losing since the timeskip" is that it's extremely unlikely that Luffy is gonna look at doflamingo (or akainu if he just showed up) and think "woah he's way beyond my level, better go back to that island and punch bears for the next 5 years". It would be completely out of character for him and it would be completely unsatisfying for the audience who have not yet seen the full extent of post-timeskip luffy's strength.
The classic "you're a fanboy, calm down bro"..
But while people say we haven't seen Luffys full strength, have we even seen Doflamingos?
Hell, we haven't seen Luffys full strength, but.. it could be very high…...... maybe Yokou level??????????
If anything, what the Donquixote family show is that anyone below Luffy, Zoro and dare i say Sanji will not be taking on the first set of Yonkou commanders.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
How would you rank Franky power-wise? He's gotta be just below monster trio status.
My Crew order was always;
-Luffy
-Zoro
-Sanji
-Franky
-Robin
-Brook
-Usopp
-Chopper
-Nami
Yeah fucking duh doflamingo is stronger well done for working that one out m8
Point is it's kind of standard practice in a story for a hero to use 100% of their strength and go all out against their opponent before needlessly powering them up.
I'm glad you established that point yourself..
I mean Luffy hasn't even looked close to losing since the timeskip
What does this have to do with anything?
Nah, he got offered the position several times and turned it down so that he wouldn't be so constrained.
And it's like with any job I guess.
The people high up always have extra responsibilities such as more meetings and other annoying things which take out the time that can be spent elsewhere kicking back.
I wonder how much Devil fruits are connected to "D" specifically.
Its like "D" were lately said to be Devils and God natural enemy so with that gigant flood of world being hinted I wonder if it was world goverment(God) getting rid of Ds this way?
Like maybe it was nation with DF powers or something like that? That would make most sense to use sea against them like that(but if they were normal people its not like it would not have almost same catastrophic effect).
I think that the Devil fruits are connected to "D" because it starts with the letter D :)
Patterns are BS when it comes to fights,
Remember the Gladius is a sniper so he has to fight Usopp
Remember the Pica has broad shoulders so he will be fighting Franky
IMO any pattern in OP should not be followed, especially when making a prediction, because Oda can do whatever he wants, and thinking about patterns only allows for obvious predictions
@Nex:
I think I have to go with Dellinger, but that might just be the podcast influencing me, as Steve's love of him is so infectious.
Baby 5 might be my personal favorite though.
Pica was gonna be my favourite character,
but since that silly voice, that long d.. sword, and him not being on Zoros level..
He's a piece of crap, he could have been so much more
I mean Luffy hasn't even looked close to losing since the timeskip but no apparently he needs another 3 years in the hyperbolic time chamber.
You're comparing a shit hole fishman weaker than Arlong on steroids to be on Doflamingos level of difficulty?
Ceaser doesn't even compare to Doflamingo either.
Usopp getting a 500Mil actually bounty would be pretty crazy IMO
Doflamingos crimes are beyond heavens.
Illegal trade
10+ Years of black market trade
Enslaving World government officials + Marines + Civilians
Knowledge and resources to create SMILES
Fuelling countries with weapons creating wars
Abuse of Shichibukai status
Overall strength and influence + connections.
Jesus christ, it's gonna be a big one.. although i doubt we might even get knowledge on it.. i seriously hope we do..
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Yup, and he didn't get a new bountie out of it.
Maybe because no one actually knew? And no one has received the new bounty lists? And 0 fucks were given?
This arc needs to end soon, it became a drag, no more fun or at least no lately.
Oda needs to invent or show us something new, something new to look forward too.
I know some of you are just catching up to the series and all hot about it, but as an old fan, it's getting .. it's just not fun anymore.
another thing is, as the years pass by, you can't endure the silliness anymore.
well, now i got that of my chest, move on nothing to see here :) One piece used to be fun.
How about all Dressrosa pack their bags and go..
We'll go fight Kaido, ya!!!!! 360 NO SCOP3 OPTIC FAZE MERGE SWAGMASTER ON KAIDO GG L0RD, R.I.P!!!!!!!
This is a story, not purely a fight series.
So did Jora suddenly gain this knowledge of the fruit? Does Doffy not know about this ability to heal objects? I didn't quite get that bit, felt a little sudden.
Doflamingo even mentioned that he could do things with Manshellys power
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Uh, yes. I can call Water 7 and Enies Lobby the same arc, because they share the same story ("a story arc"). A setting does not define an arc.
Long Ring Long Island is part of the saga, but not the arc.
Whatever moves your train.
Not really. The plot started at Water 7 and finished at Enies Lobby.
Really, it's the same arc. Same characters, same story. The fact that it changes location means nothing.
It was an entire Saga,
Long Ring Long Land - 303-321
Water 7 - 322-374
Enies Lobby Arc - 375-430
Post Enies Lobby 431-441
and that consists of 139 chapters
We are now with the Pirate Alliance Saga which started at 654 which is
654-775 (on going)
The whole saga will probably be the biggest in time.. You cannot simply refer to all the pre/current/post water 7 saga to be 1 arc.
Skypiea was commonly agreed to be the biggest arc at 66 chapters, but now Dressrosa has surpassed it because it is now at 75.

Within a few pages, Senor Pink's circumstances just became more tragic or at least more touching than Kyros, Riku and Rebecca's pasts combined, and probably even Law's. It's long since a One Piece chapter really moved me like that. I wonder if that was on purpose from Oda's side, or if he simply didn't bother with the others' sad pasts as much as he did with this one.
It's because it's CLEARY Sanjis father….
Gimlett..
If you look up Gimlett, Gimlett is a french cocktail..
Hmm french... Sanji????????????
this is my first arc how long do they usually go
And this should be your latest actually..
Dude one cannot simply read and admire Dressrosa without reading from the start.
Doflamingo has been hyped for 11 years, you will probably not understand a lot about him.
@Daz:
I will remember Luciens cute nose and freckles combo far more clearly than any of Odas last few years worth of namifaces.
Meanwhile Hancock, supposedly the worlds most beautiful woman, needs her outfit to stand out from the crowd.
I would prefer no outfit at all, then you will see what stands out
I actually cried reading this. The Franky/Senor bond was amazing.. Icant wait to see that talk over drinks..
@King Cannon Based on what we know, Manshelly can use fodder to restore the health of someone. It has to havesome nerf but thats what it is now
I was waiting for someone to shoot this theory down.
Wait Doflamingo is the strongest broker? I bet we will see another pirate who is also a broker.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Makes sense. I guess I should have said like Enel or CP9.
You don't have to be the strongest to be the most powerful.
I'm talking about, power influence, trust and the impact that Doflamingo has on the whole New World.
Law had even said it himself, that Doflamingo is the most powerful out of all the brokers because he is the most trusted, legit, influencial man out there.
Then again, Doflamingo is a complete beast, his crew has it hard along with himself. He has World Government officials, Marines, Pirates that were turned into toys, awakened now which will cause Dofla to go up in $$$$ + we got a Marine Admiral, Second in command of the RA + 1 Shichibukai/supernova (Law), a couple supernovas including Zoro and the rest of the remaining crew on the Island + pretty notorious new world fighters. There a big ass bounties on this island.
It's a bit too much to handle for Doflamingo IMO, for plot purposes he has to lose.
