@boiga:

Also, his spring fruit had sooo much untapped potential that it'd make a lot of sense for Oda to bring Bellamy back with newly developed gear-like powers.

Gear-like…. Oh lord, I hope not. >.>

But yeah, I voted for Bellamy. At first, I thought Krieg, but then I read all of the posts so far and Bellamy seems more likely to me now. He could tie in a Doflamingo appearance, and I'd say Luffy owning him in one punch after talking all that sh*t in front of all those people would be pretty devastating to him and his huge ego. Not to mention his defeat made Doflamingo lose any last shred of respect he might have had for him. So yeah, Luffy ruined his life. Meanwhile, with Krieg, it was really Mihawk who ruined his crew and his life, not Luffy so much.

Of course, I'm talking as if Luffy is the only one in the crew who could be the culprit of ruining Dupal's life, which isn't the case, so it could easily end up being no one we know or could have thought of.

Don't let little kids read this chapter. Luffy is making steroid use look cool. =(

@boiga:

I'm wondering about that.

Considering that Luffy saved Usopp and Nami from similar about to be smushed like a bug situations… could he have rescued zoro too?

Odz foot was as close to Usopp as his knee was to zoro, so luffy might have interecepted him mid-air and left him somewhere safe. Zoro might be trying to carry the injured crewmates to safety in the background before the sun comes up.

Nah, I'm not sure about that. There's a panel that shows Zoro's owned-and-bleeding face. There are no panels that show a harmed Usopp or Nami before Luffy saves them.

wheeeee first

downloading now. Thanks tenny, clever, and BF

Hahaha. I really enjoy your theories, Admiral Wolfpox. Or in this case, your brother's, yah? Very well done.

All i have to say is this…. Absalom quite obviously doesn't want to "marry" Nami..... Goddamn raping furries.

@Kma:

You should add:
Mizu Luffy
Afro Luffy
Shutting off the brain Luffy (Enel fight)
and
Sleeping while eating Luffy (the real gear 4 lol)

Oh… oh my god.... Afro Luffy in GEAR SECOND!!!! AAAAHHH!!!! dies of fanboyism

Oh and by the way, I voted for Gear Second. I've always been a fan of speed over power, and that goes for all cases, including every single fighting game I've ever played. =/

Haha, it must take a certain talent to spot Pandaman like that with such crap scans! :ninja:

Good job.

I definitely like the Doppleganger theory. It makes sense and is well thought out… and that's why I don't think that will be the explanation. XD Oda-sama almost always keeps explanations in the manga relatively simple, not with such deep thinking involved.

Thanks for the script trans. ^_^

The thing I am definitely most curious about is the Guardian with Brooke's laugh…. IS it Brooke?? I definitely can't wait to find out.... Either way, I still bet Zoro is getting that katana of his.
