@BlackLegEd:

I'm not crying,Oda. There's just some crap stuck in my eye

Me too, some random object that's stuck in my eye. Damn Oda.

I think my only problem with this one is that Luffy is supposed to fight Big Mom correct? I think the 3 Sweet Commanders should be handled by the rest of Strawhats - Brook / Sanji / Nami / Chopper. What was the 2 years of training for? Fighting Brulee? I think Oda should establish the strength of the Strawhats Pirates right now.. because if not now, when? How about the other 2 Sweet commanders? Luffy will fight them too? What's the point of having a crew if the captain is all the one that is doing the fighting. Even Monster Chopper was freaking captured and locked in a mirror!! SMH. I think this is a missed opportunity by Oda. They are already in New World and it seems nothing has changed as far as crew strength is concerned.

well, there's no boring strawhat yet.. so maybe jimbei will fill that role? /sarcasm

@D.aelthasaar:

Why does Law wants to keep Cesar alive at all costs?
There MUST be a catch.

Yeah.. I'm thinking the same thing. It seems to be logical that you eliminate Ceasar immediately because he can re-create the smile if he escapes, thus nullifying the destruction of the factory. I also think that the pirate alliance will not be over, and someone might help Law.

@CaptainAppleJack:

Since Jora was comparing her "Dying Art" to the tragedy of Dressrosa, let's look at it:

! http://media.tumblr.com/47b2d9e5cf6576c713f6138d50c1f4d5/tumblr_inline_mtoqj5osp51qcy7dd.pngThe open eye and the closed, crying eye with the more bright & the dark background and the sun in the middle seem like they represent day & night. This probably has to do with the curfew for humans & toys. The thing Chopper is made to looks like he does something to Nami's part in the artwork. That should be the toy-making Devil Fruit user and someone he changed into a toy. And Momonosuke with the crown and the wing, is then representing Dolamingo, the king of the country in one of his most famous poses.

Seeing how the 'night eye' is crying, maybe the people regain their memories in the night?
And since the 'Doflamingo' part only has one wing, could that mean he is only half Tenryubito?
And does the painting give any more hints to who the 'toymaker' is?

Nice detail though.

Nice analysis! can i ask though, why did you associate the wing part with being a Tenryubito?

im also under the impression that the Blackbeard pirates prioritizes quality over quantity, much like Strawhats. Therefore, they shouldn't have many members / divisions like the WB pirates. I'm curious how this turns out. I really don't want them to have fodder members.

maybe its a sinkhole fruit?

cant wait for the Big Mom arc. hopefully Jimbei will die.

shirahoshi vs san juan wolf. please let her join.

Boa is obviously the ninth, it has been foreshadowed already. (past, odd personality, nine snake flag, love-sickness) Now the question is, will there be a tenth?
