I would say that it followed the predicted script too perfectly: Sabo had amnesia, his memory returns upon Ace's death, the entire mystery about him not making an attempt to rescue Ace is solved…

No surprises... =/

Since the newspaper news has already shown up I guess we are having a "world reacts to the news" next, and the ones I really wanna see are the WG, maybe the CP0, and more importantly Kaidou!

Are the strings part of Dofla's body? 'cause if it is, they could just touch the birdcage with seastone and the whole thing should collapse…
So, as it couldn't possibly be that easy, I assume that Dofla's DF is a paramecia that behaves like Galdino's paramecia DF, where he creates the thing he manipulates outside of his body.

@zachri:

Hurr seen that theory around somewhere.

I haven't been reading much of the threads lately, not much free time, so yeah I imagine that lots of people posted it…

Knowing Oda it would be more likely that Cora-san killed himself to save Law in a previous birdcage…

@Piitan:

This week One Piece's on break.

Oh, right, forgot about that.
So the campaign is still going on, I take it…

Has the early picture campaign by Shueisha ended?

@Psycrow:

I think that happens right before aliens arrive coincidentally to attack everyone and the ghosts of dinosaurs cast spells to summon the transformers and pokemon

Well, we know for a fact that there are aliens and dinosaurs and ghosts in One Piece, DFs already give people magical powers, and Franky is almost a transformer. So just add some animals coming out of toy containers and… Oh wait, we have just had that as well...
Not so far fetched after all.

Random, wild and very unlikely guess: The "Bird Cage" is a time reversing DF device, and Dofla intends to use it to turn back time and fix what went wrong. That is why the samurais were attacked when they had just gotten to Dressrosa, in a different timeline they caused trouble on the island (maybe they made Sugar loose consciousness or something), so Doflaming turned back time and then sent some goons to attack them as soon as they got to the island.

My posts, about Sabo showing up on this island, in the Chapter 706 thread (25 chapters ago):

@isrnick:

You know, I think this would be a good opportunity for Sabo to finally show up, he could be there to guarantee that Ace's DF didn't fall in anybody else's hands, just like Luffy. Him being Ricky or not…

@isrnick:

But that is the thing, I think it would match nicely with a reason for the CP-0 being involved… Assuming that Sabo is tied to the revolutionaries, that is.

Bull's-eye.

@Kishido:

BTW who is talking with Sanji through a Den Den Mushi… No other SHs seems to have one in the hand in the next panels

He is probably still calling one of them, and they haven't answered the den den mushi yet.

(In response to the spoiler thread's complaints about Sanji's showing up to confront Doflamingo being something useless because he ended up not making any difference.)
The reason why Oda sent Sanji to Green Bit was so that he would be on the ship who left for Zou.

@Yes-Kyuu:

Chinjao is able to open the ice easily by with his pointed head but how did he close it ?

Just let the ice close by itself I think.

@CaimieFanboy:

can someone please link me to the spoiler section. why is it so hard to search for it. cant event find the link on google. please anybody? i will save the link to my email this time so i wont keep asking you guys. thanks!

Because the spoiler section is only visible/accessible to registered and logged in users, and you was looking for it while logged out…

Cnet's translations haven't been used on scanlations for some time, since he publishes it so late, but he still translates every OP chapter, and he also is very reliable.

BTW, here is his translation of Chapter 718, if anyone is interested: http://mangahelpers.com/t/cnet128/releases/38572

No, I think something outside will happen, and that will stop the tournament, maybe the factory explodes…

@jabso:

so its like the WG can call for protection anytime from the shichibukai and the vice versa can't happen. Instead they are replaced. Sounds like they are being used big time to me

Their crimes are forgiven, as well as all their subordinates.

@Tainted:

_From Aoihge's translation:

" How Garp stole his vast wealth.. how he took away his memories of his youth, his strength, everything. "_

I really believe that dent Garp gave Don C is the root of all of this (amnesia). His memories of his Youth is obvious, but the "lost treasures" could also be related to past memories of comrades and adventure that became lost when Garp cracked his cranium.

So, Luffy has to pound his skull some so that his memory comes back?

@Aohige_AP:

Yeah it's golden because he's so absent minded at the deadly pointy objects being hurled at him, dodging them with his arms crossed and utterly nonchalant.

And even directing Jean Ango's attacks to Chinjao in the process… Priceless!
The best part is that after all that he just steps up to Jean to retrieve the helmet, and then steps out of the way to let Chinjao get rid of Jean for him! hahahaha
Oh Luffy, you troll! Teaching Bartolomeo a thing or two...

@RKTGX95:

Could anyone explain to me the appeal of reading the spoiler before the chapter comes out?

Obviously, so that we can know what happens in the next chapter as soon as possible to satiate the curiosity.
For me reading the spoiler simply doesn't diminishes the experience of reading the chapter in the least, so I have no problem with reading the spoiler.

@Taco:

Why don't you google it, right now? - : "hiro mashima and eiichiro oda". A good researcher looks at all sources - and there they are. You might even want to check out those youtube videos. You want more? Go check out MS's "Oda vs. Mashima" article, there is loads of proof in the comments section. Next up, buddy, I never said this was some exclusive fact outside of Japan, let's not put words in my mouth. Either way, I'm not wasting time with this - it isn't the time or place to be talking about this either. This isn't me copping-out, rather. It's me saying I've had these discussions/debates before on completely neutral grounds and I'm not going to resurrect the zombie. This whole thing is pathetic in the first place and since this is an OP forum, there is clear double standards.

The fact that I have to prove something that is universally acclaimed outside of this forum to somebody who won't even take a few minutes to do his own research just to be apart of this community is ridiculous. Thanks to your childish tone, I'm not spending a minute more contributing to this off-topic discussion.

Here, just take this as a guideline:

APF is the source of information about anything Oda related to the English community, we have for example the official OP english translator for VIZ as a forum member, and several other people who basically accompany every single news that pops up in Japan about Oda and OP, and post it here to let us informed.

So, if you read or hear something about Oda that looks like it may be a rumor anywhere else, the good thing to do is to come here to check if there is any basis to it. If there really is, the news is very likely to have been posted here first and then spread on the internet, and you will probably find a topic dedicated to discussing it on the forum, where surely someone will have posted the Japanese source of the information already… If there isn't people already discussing it here and taking it as a fact, that probably means that it was just a rumor without any basis.

If you can't find the info here, you can simply ask if the information is real or not, and people will let you know.

What you can't expect is that the people who accompany daily what is published in Japan, and what the Japanese OP fan community is discussing, and who are usually the ones to bring us those kinds of information, will take seriously any english source who is stating something about Oda's personal life, but isn't basing it on some credible japanese source.

The coincidences between OP and FT aren't proof of existence of any kind of animosity between Oda and Mashima, it may indicate that Mashima's work takes some influence from Oda's (the same way that Oda takes after other mangakas), but nothing more. So until we see any credible japanese source saying something to the contrary, the conclusion is that this is just a rumor.

@brennen.exe:

Punk Hazard suggests he can make insanely large rooms and can move/separate anything within that field. He claims his limitation is stamina, but he's currently at max HP. The map (inaccurate) shows a tiny island and tiny bridge, so again I reference Punk Hazard.

Well, proportion isn't Oda's forte (vide "150 km")… So, I can actually see him making this distance be too much for Law's room ability, even though the evidence we have from Punk Hazard suggests that it should be an easy distance for him.

@brennen.exe:

Oda goes out of his way to avoid killing characters real time. Even unnamed fodder. Saboady has a few good examples. How is this even being argued?

Who understands? I don't get it either… That is probably the most established fact about OP there is...

At times like this I miss Greg being around to school people on Oda's patterns…

So DD made a bargain with the WG, Law and Luffy plus as many pirates and criminals they can arrest from the tournament, in exchange for a free pass, and maybe he even gets to keep Ceasar, and he can get a fake resignation posted on the newspaper to put his plan in motion… Which would mean that the tournament is just to wear out the pirates and criminals competing, and make it easier for the marines to arrest them, they could even already be arresting the injured ones behind the scenes...

@ibrahim2712:

Thats crazy! so epic i didn't even know

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

I checked out batoto and holy crap the scanlation quality is amazing! I was gonna reread One Piece but I didn't like how the quality of the scans were so bad but that site has some amazing quality its almost like the chapters every week! THanks so much!

But note that chapters 389 to 431 and 433 to 559 are missing on batoto.

Anybody knows which volumes were scanlated by that NULL scanlation group? And where to get these volumes for download? (If I remember correctly they used to use Cnet's translations.)

@Kubihige
Someone had just pointed it out, on the previous page…

@dropper:

http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/38349060.jpg

Yes.
16 characters.

Maybe they will have a long life… Live indefinitely is less likely but possible... But I doubt that humanity will find a way to be truly immortal, and there will always be the possibility of dying of unnatural causes.
Which means that everybody eventually dies, even if someone lives indefinitely something will kill him, be it an accident, or natural disaster, or murder, or gets tired of living and ends his own life, even if nothing kills him for millions or billions of years eventually the sun will die, eventually the galaxy will be destroyed, eventually the light of all the stars in all the galaxies will go out, and who would survive then?

Oh, now that is better.
The guys on Mangacow said it was "on hiatus for awhile", so that had me worried, but then it is just another break.
Thanks Phoenix.

Thanks Patrck744

So, Breaker NW is on hiatus… Anybody knows if the authors say for how long? And can give us a summary of what the authors are saying on that apology manhwa?

@HaxeyeMihawk:

lol gotta love FFA's theories… So I guess we'll soon know whether or not Bart is using some forcefield fruit or if it's just some usage of COA.

Or something else entirely…

@Katzztar:

Oh it would tough run in the character tourny here after all at least two biggies (one of them is Aohige) are behind Ricky already so Barto will have competition. Remember what some bigshots did for "Fred, the awesome "octopus" Fishman" who is officially unnamed and is a squid fishman. Never doubt the strength of the bigshots here

Yeah but when Ricky become Kyros all this hype he has now may vanish, depending on how the character develops…

Don: “A long time ago, Garp-san nearly killed me…”
“I’ve decided to hold that grudge against even his descendants”
Luffy: “Wha!!?”
"Don't take it personally… He does that to everybody."
"He nearly killed me several times in the past too."

@Randoy:

Like I always say if you read spoilers you're weak. Waiting one week then ruin it 5 hours(more or less) before release.

Edit: I can't believe over 100 ppl are reading spoilers.

That could be true if reading spoilers ruined the chapter, which doesn't in the least for me. So to each his own…

@Ping:

He is a photobomber with Teleport ability.

The fact that he changes body build very frequently, denies the Teleport ability theory, the "any random person in the world body possession ability" is much more likely.
And a photobomber is just what he wants everybody think he is… :ninja:

Pandaman has a kind of "Agent Smith" ability, he goes around possessing other people's bodies, but just to observe important events that are going on around the world, so that he can keep record of these events in a shady super secret world history record, that is been kept for thousands of years by an organization that almost nobody has ever heard about, and that even those few who did believe it is just a legend…

@Gear:

It would have been the right time to introduce Sabo if so much shit wasn't already going around IMO. Throwing Sabo in would cause chaos.

But that is the thing, I think it would match nicely with a reason for the CP-0 being involved… Assuming that Sabo is tied to the revolutionaries, that is.

You know, I think this would be a good opportunity for Sabo to finally show up, he could be there to guarantee that Ace's DF didn't fall in anybody else's hands, just like Luffy. Him being Ricky or not…

@sekida:

Mangapanda's translator is also a fan of Game of Thrones.

Valar Morghulis.

Cnet's translation of chapter 700:
http://mangahelpers.com/t/cnet128/releases/37216

150 pages!!?? I'm foreseeing the 404 error once the spoilers come out…

Aohige, is there any new place you post spoilers now when APF is down? (Since One Manga is no more...)

@Mr.:

Agreed. His ability makes him the perfect undercover reporter. A new role for the Moria pirate crew?

It is a 100% certain that it is Absalom, you can even see the thriller bark escape ship hurriedly leaving Kid's hideout island while Apoo questions how the info about their alliance was leaked and who is this Absa freelancer…

@1PceXperience:

I know you put a ninja-smiley after this post, but that theory alone isn't actually that far-fetched. If this was the right way to obtain the deceased DF, AND such knowledge was known, whose to say someone wouldn't do such a thing?

Well that seems to have been how the axolotl DF was formed while Smiley/Shinokuni was dying… And everything indicates that CC knew it, he apparently deliberately put those fruits there, and was clearly planning to use the Shinokuni again. So it is reasonable to assume that DD, as CC's "business partner", knew about it too.

@MasterKingJC:

Doflamingo….how...how did you get Ace's fruit, you cunny, calculating little.....?

He had several normal fruits hidden throughout the battlefield so when the battle was over he just collected every single devil fruit that was made when DF users died during the war, except for WB's DF. :ninja:

What could the "Rocky Port Incident" have been?

@Caesar:

It's pretty much hinted that he's dead.

But knowing Oda it is very probable that he actually isn't.

Besides that wasn't the point, I was just pointing out something interesting that we missed in the interaction between DD and Smoker so that everybody can have the whole picture… I, for one, hate to miss things like this.

@No:

Anyone else wanna see Tsuru have a more active role now ? I'd actualy realy like her to fill one of the empty seats, to have one of the admirals being a short old lady, but at the very least I wanna see her doing more stuff. I mean prior to the war we saw her like once in a very short scene, and even during it we only had her say about three lines.

I would think that she retired too…

Stealing that DF seems like a job for Nami.

So Zoro could make one of his swords "eat" the Mera Mera no Mi and finally get his "fire sword"… Or Sanji could eat it and Zoro gets an actual fire sword so they can continue bickering and fighting each other.
