He can't finish any fight without using gear 3 since the time skip, Hody, cesear,Chinjao and even Doflamingo.
That even makes absolutely no sense considering Doflamingo is the strongest Luffy ever had a real match with.

In fact everything discussed there was already stated here. Nothing new in the last op podcast episode :(
If you wouldn't read illegal scans a week before they get to the discuss the official chapter, stuff would look quiet different.
That, and my day is already too short as it is.
I get to listen to it during work, wouldn't during my free time either though.
We know from chapter 0 that Roger got hold of an AW
He knew it's destination, nothing was said about it being in his possession.
The marines may have some more bases in the New World, but they won't be that numerous to threaten him of getting supplies. Issho very likely being a New World native will have his own connections to NW countries I assume.
@genocyber:
Am I one of the only people who doesn't believe Big Mom has any connection to Lola. If she was Big Mom's daughter, then by Moria capturing her it would be an act of war. Moria would not dare cross the Yonko.
How would he know to begin with? Or she?
The word you are looking for is 11-dimensional chess.
@Maju:
i actually see shanks having LESS territories than the others..he doesn't seem the like of pirate that likes to run businesses
And Oda never gave a hint that he even has any real allies. It would be great if he kept his control by his own presence alone instead of minions.
He has a bounty of 400M. That's enough to cover both his strength and how crazy he is. Give him a little something for taking the biggest broker in the new world and it will be fine. There really is no need for a big raise.
He destroyed one of the biggest enterprises of the world and probably the most important one in the New World. Your conclusion makes no sense.
I never disagreed on that, just that the example of a winner being a marine made no sense to begin with, if we are talking about that particular topic. To even face the Emperor one would have to conquer some bigger portions of the territory to get him out of his safety zone or in Shanks case, just find him. :P
It's the same reasoning as if an admiral kills a yonko, the admiral can't become one, and someone will conquer the territories left behind
You chose a marine of all, those are excluded to begin with, but we are talking about a sea full of pirates.
He did say he won't let Luffy do whatever he pleases and also stated that they were falling behind in terms of feats in the New World, hence the rushed formation of their alliance. if 3 Supernovas in Dressrossa can do all that shit in one day why can't the four (Kid, Killer, Hawkins, Apoo) do something batshit crazy in the same amount of time? For some reason I don't think Luffy's bounty will ever be higher than Kid's until the two face off (not for very long anyway).
Again: Would be anticlimatic and definitely not on the very same day we've been following for the past 2 1/2 years.
Did you even understand my very basic argument? Law and Luffy are the highlight for the world right now. It would be bad writing, if Oda let them do something of equal size right on this very day.
@O:
no really hitler made germany poor, you looked only half the story
Nah, that was the rest of the world, with reperations and a nearly complete deconstruction of germanys industry, or what was left of it after the aerial bombardment.
Even the green bull wants to wear some red in his leasure time. It's not the first time we see that pic with someone having horns.
To them they were always there, so there was no reason to put up that thought to begin with.
Yes. I bet his alliance did something crazy too :)

Wasn't that Doffy who said that? The speech bubble points directly at his smiling face in that tiny panel.
But why he look so fearful in the panel right after? It felt weird to see that smile on Luffy, but it worked in combination with his attack name.
You want him to constantly draw all thousands of strings?
so basically gear2, 3 and 4 are Luffy's devil fruit "awakened"
Not really, more like what Croco has done with his fruit, use the powers more proficient.

! Best theory thus far
You mean going afro would be the best.
Instead of arguing back, you fall back to simply trying to make fun of him.
Minoru Suzuki (from New Japan Pro Wrestling) posted in Twitter a picture with Oda.
Also got the figure on top of it. :D
It's not like immortal would mean invicible or unkillable. Not being able to age is the significant feature of being immortal in most cases and most likely Doulas wish.
And forcing a blind man to write a report.
Fujitora is all about keeping the citizens safe, a Buster Call would do nothing but turning Fujitora against the WG. Not only does he hate them for allowing the Shichibukai, but also increasing his disdain by killing innocents would be nothing but disastrous in hindsight.
The WGs focus is to gain territory in the New World, a Buster Call is as detrimental as it gets.
Only that they don't have total control over the media or else Absa wouldn't have those news articles. Yeah right, the Marines will force themselves into Yonkou territory to murder people. That wouldn't be premature at all.
Again, against whom could he do that within the contextual plot?
It's strange, normally I really don't look forward to Zoro heavy chapters.
However, now that it's clear that it's not going to amount to simple hack and slash, with actual strategy behind his offence…I'm actually quite looking forward to it!
I think you will be disappointed. He probably will whirlwind himself to Pica and hack him into little unescapable pieces.
Stop trying to hard at being annoying. :/
It was a scene with a comedic purpose, you don't have to actually find it funny though.
What's the point of putting him into a comatose state and only then kill his crew? That would have zero effect on him.
Of what interest would it be to her though? There is literary no connection between the Heart and Big Mom pirates afaik.
I'm pretty sure Senor Pink is a homage to Reservoir Dogs' Mr. Pink.
Sanji is already inspired by that character, not that the personalities match.
Bro come on.
It's one thing to have a theory, but don't say an unproven in-the-present statement such as "Sanji has the threat level to sink Yonkou ships", and then support it by something that hasn't happened yet and has no indication of happening.
Oo What about the word "prediction" do you not understand?
I don't see him sink it either, there will be too many DF users on it to make it a viable option for Oda/the story right now.
Let's hope Diamante won't be 1H.K.Oed. after recieving a couple strikes over the last ten to twenty chapters.
Zoro run away,
Also the fact that Zoro talks about the bigger the target the better, but he already had a bigger target and wasn't able to do anything, shows how he is just talking shit.
but the fact his that he isn't being able to find it and he is the one doing the most physical exercise from the two.
Running around, not away, probably to the top so Pica won't be able to hide anywhere but in the ground anymore.
No talking shit involved. Zoro can easily keep cutting StonePica away, just that it doesn't help him in beating the real one.
When you manipulate your movement by mind, it's clear that you will have less physical exercise… all Zoro needs is a bit of CoO.
How on earth have you come to that conclusion? He's doing a good job with Zoro,if anything it's Zoro who looks to be struggling not Pica. Pica is not running away he just fighting using his ability.He maybe many things pussy, I don't think's one of them.
Zoro is literally playing with him and elongating the fight for no real reason. He could slash his whole surroundings to force Pica out, PIS is the only thing keeping this fight going on right now. If Pica was so sure of himself he would still keep fighting with his normal body and his long sword. Can't remember if it's in one piece though.
Racoon tail = the shield.
Serious question, how is Luffy supposed to beat DD if he can't tank a punch from someone who is weaker than Delly?
This implies that Bellamys strongest punch should be easily tankable, which would be highly idiotic. He is an experienced, but not Worst Generation tier, NW pirates despite his foolish idolization of Doula.
@Kyoji:
if not that was the most useless chapter of the entire arc.
:wassat:Orlumbus even mentioned that he would help with his whole fleet, if it was another situation. The hint for a future encounter/help couldn't be any bigger.
Yeah, racoon tail is the only mystery. Well, that and the shield. If everything isn't accounted for, it seems rushed.
Could always be his prefered outfit, just like Lao G or Senior Pink with their weird ones. The shield would help him from getting pierced by something he's jumping on. No matter how heavy he would be, a blade would still be sharp and cut him somehow.
Why am I having such a hard time to edit my posts without them getting signs and stuff? could someone help me out with that please?, they end like
/*-+ and a leap pile of characters which are unwanted to get my message across
You could always stop using weird front sizes for one. That should help. Are you trying to use html when only bb code is available?
High executives might get a single chapter, boss fight a couple, end and party for one or two. I give this arc two more volumes max. Oda has shown us each of their positions, so he can go on rushing. Leo and Mon Cherry are the only randoms left in this arc, she could even only appear after Doula is beaten for all I care. Hey, he should get to Luffy and stitch Bellamy to the ground, so he won't die from the mugiwara needing to keep him down.
Traditionally an early break precedes Christmas break. There is usually a break followed by a week of manga and then another week break.
Yeah… one for christmas, one for new year, which will happen then and not now. We already know part of the ToC for #2/15.
Is that because of Christmas break? If that is the case we won't be getting Bleach either.
No, that's in a couple of weeks.
How about you do a reality check? :)
Luffy is facing the final enemy of the arc and it won't take longer than a couple months to end the arc.
It would have ended in a fight anyway, so more lives were saved that way.
Do you simply not get that he tries to put the blame on the World Government, to create pressure on them and the warlord system and not a single one of them? How many people have to repeat and explain it in detail until you even began to consider those arguments instead of repeating your stick for the dozenth time? You made up your mind, why act as if there is even room for a discussion to happen?
What pisses me off the most is that Oda foreshadowed some sort of confrontation between him and Doffy, and then just forgot about it.
The arc or either Doulas story isn't even over yet. Stop acting so angry or did you not follow the plot where Fujitora was shown comprehending that it's not the Marine's place to bring order to the the problem of Doflamingo?
meaning it was Machvise who had an attack strong enough to knock out FRANKY!
Eh his main power is to get so heavy that he can smash anything, so of course Franky is gonna go down against something like that.
Gaimon's Flashback>>>>Doula's flashback.
Now. Vergo is nowhere, wondering if is doing some secret stuff for Doula..
Being shown with Dofla would work counter to their goal to infiltrate the Marines. I guess he's an officer at the cities marine station.
Dofla got the shortest flashback imaginable. :D
Will keep on calling them by their "real" names, doesn't make it sound hipster, as some seem to dislike the word nakama as well. Isho, Kuzan, Sakazuki, Borsalino. … a longer text will have their japanese code names though. he Someone ever wrote Yellow Monkey? Oo
I'm well aware of those type of restrictions but c'mon a company like Shueisha should be able to work around those restriction.
Contracts are contracts. As if the german publishers for the WSJ manga care to bend over while printing money still.
Tribal on real humans looks shit almost every time, but it can work with fictional characters. I would think the sakura petals are the main focus of his tat, and while it's reminiscent of yakuza ones, it would look better if it was even more similar to those instead of "easy" to draw tribals.
They make artificial devil fruits…
And I'm pretty sure the users introduced themselves as fruit users (Bian, Leo, Kabu).
Or at least there was no reference in them being uninformed about DF.
In 711 Kabu says that Robin can use magic, followed by Leo saying that he used the "nui nui" power. Seems to be a mix of both, or they just haven't classified her as a DF at that point.
No more "special" princesses please.
So it doesn't count at all as those dozen characters, from wich all but Fujitora have a reason to appear in group shots, because they are in the same crew and Oda using those crew shots multiple times already…
