It's kinda not Luffy's style to need help to beat someone. If he can't beat him alone, then he isn't the strongest man in the world so he can't be called a pirate king…

RE: Executions
You know that this could also be interpreted in the opposite direction. If Luffy´s grandpa made Aokiji look like an idiot because Aokiji couldn´t get him, then making Luffy look like an idiot by defeatin him could also mean that he returned the favor to Luffy´s grandpa.
yeah, you're right, maybe Luffy's grandpa spared Kiji's life, and so did now Ao Kiji!

RE: Executions
well, Ao Kiji said that he's just returning a favor to his grandfather. If his grandfather is Gol D. Roger and he turned himself in to Ao Kiji, this might be the favour he was talking about

RE: Chapter 388 "Gear 2 (Second)" Discussion
Luffy learned soru, Sanji should learn rankyaku, he needs some range attacks. If some random CP9 users can learn it, then some kick specialist should also be able to learn it!!! It's not as if he would always use it, but Sanji has to improve as well! We haven't seen any improvment of him since Arlong park, where he wondered if he can smash concrete(as I remember from the german dub) and now when he kicked the shit out of Wanze, he kicked 12 times in a moment, but that's really nothing in compare to Zoro, who learns some new moves in almost every episode we see.
I hope this arc will end soon, in like…. most... 25 chapters, that's half a year:) it's not really soon, but this whole arc is already too long for me.
I like the mid arcs the most, when we get some useful information, on like the WG or some powerful pirates, or some history or new bounties and this stuff. Can't wait to see some new wanted posters, and faces of people who sees em'. Shanks will probably take some best rum he has in stock when he sees some poster of Luffy wanted for 300+mio :)

RE: Chapter 388 "Gear 2 (Second)" Discussion
Maybe these gears are included in his DF ability, it was never stated that streching his body is the only ability gomu gomu fruit gives to him.
First, the easiest one was to strech his body parts cause they're made of rubber, the second one may be to change properties of the rubber he's made of. That way if it was vulcanization, it would be a reversible process.
I kinda like this idea, cause if it was so, he would be able to make some very hard rubber, which would be similar to tekkai, or some extra soft one, to be able to strech for very long distances, and so on…
If you look at, for example gomu gomu pistol, why is his fist suddenly so hard, that he can smash rocks, but his arm isn't.

RE: Executions
It makes better effect if you execute someone in front of many normal, civilian people, to make an example. In Mariejoa, there are only marines. And Lougetown is a very big city, especially the square.
They probably wanted to show the world that they can catch and kill the best one, and this way stop the piracy, but he kinda fucked them up with his words about the treasure, which started the great piracy age.
I don't think that they were affraid of him escaping, IMO he turned himself in, cause he had already achieved everything.

RE: Chapter 388 "Gear 2 (Second)" Discussion
well, then my theory goes down the drain=)
I kinda hoped that they would go with the giants and then to Elbaf, the next island, where they would get the support from the giants, cause the goverment was after them with a buster call and all of the admirals maybe some schicibukai and stuff…... so that in next arc there would be a destruction an overthrow of the goverment=) and marines of course
Then the pirate summit and after that only pirate opponents, this would really shorten the lenght of one piece, cause this one mega long arc would include many people we would like to see...
but it's just my stupid imagination

RE: Chapter 388 "Gear 2 (Second)" Discussion
guys, I don't remember correctly, but I think that Robin gave SH an eternal pose to Little Garden. Was it so or did she just say that the next island is little garden? Cause if she gave them one, then they still probably have it and can give it to Oimo and Kaashi, so that they can find their captains. I think it would be a fair exchange for their help =)

RE: Chapter 387 "GEAR" Discussion
Er, Crocodile created a sandstorm and even chose the course towards Yuba for it. If that isn´t control over the element then I don´t know what is.
And saying that Croc said that it became so big at one point that even he couldn´t stop it doesn´t mean that he doesn´t have the ability to control it, he just doesn´t have the power to control something of that size.
It´s just when I´m doing the bench press at the gym. I´m able to control the entire process to a certain degree. But if I put too much weight on it then I simply can not lift the weight which in other words means that I´m not able to control the bench press process. But that doesn´t mean that I generally don´t have the skill to do it, it just means that at some point it becomes to big for me and my strenght and skills.Same counts for Crocodile and his logia powers. He could control the sandstorm before it was out of his league.
So if I light a fire, and when it's still small, have control over it, then I can control fire=)
I don't think he can control any sand, only the sand he's made of. There was probably some wind always blowing towards Yuba, which took the sandstorm in that direction

RE: Chapter 387 "GEAR" Discussion
It's fine with me if Luffy gets stronger by vulcanization or some process that can really make rubber stronger. He is rubber after all, so that would make him stronger, I don't see this as if he would go to ssj2 mode, that was just some fiction, but that is for real. I've also heard of some material called silica, that is mixed with rubber used for car tires, in order to get better performance in subzero conditions. It says in some article that these tires don't freeze if they're not exposed to temperatures below -40°C (233K). This looks like some stuff which could really help Luffy in his fight with Ao Kiji!
