Am I the only one who is considering that Kaido could possibly serve to split up the KHA, I can totally see Kidd wanting to stand his ground while Apoo seems like one who may try to run. Hawkins may retreat as well if the heart of the cards predicts death or a loss. This is one of the impressions I was getting from the Kaido situation and my gut tells me that if this does happen it could very easily lead to Kidd joining up with the Strawhearts. This speculation is obviously baseless and just something bouncing around in my head, but I don't think it's too far-fetched.

RE: Chapter 793: The Tiger and The Dog
@uniaka:
And Oda is the only one to blame for protecting Zoro like a little baby and trolling Sanji ever since.
So Zoro was able to get out of Fujitora's gravity hole and even attack him at the same time, but Sanji was helpless in DD's strings.
Zoro saved his face with admiral, but Sanji gets his legs cracked by a vice admiral( hype tool marine rank of the NW). Was there ever someone that looked bad in One Piece agains't a vice freaking admiral? All the ones I remember got trashed or looked bad.
I think people focus a bit too much on Vergo-san's rank as a Vice Admiral and forget all too quickly that he was the original Corazon (you know, that position in the DQ fail which is equal to Pica/Diamante/Trebol). Vergo was a top executive, meaning he is a bit of an exception in regards to yor average power-level. Also who says all VAs are on Bastille's level (the guy who Sabo wrecked)? I can recall some extremely powerful VAs (cough* Garp, Tsuru cough*). And what position would you like Vergo to have held in his infiltration of the marines, the only place to go up from there is admiral or higher?
And Fuji's gravity hole is a different type of restraint than DDs strings where a web of strings des much more to hold someone than the indeterminate amount of gravity Fuji made push down on Zoro. Also I believe Luffy (maybe Law idk) was the only one seen being able to break them.

RE: Chapter 792: Kneeling Down
With Burgess vs. Sabo, the way I see it Is that Sabo was being portrayed as being fairly equal to Fujitora in their scuffle, (now it could be argued that Fuji may not have been putting his full efforts into this matchup, but anyway). This being said I would expect nothing less than for him to walk through JB like nothing. I don't feel that It was ever implied that Burgess could compete on an admiral's level, while Sabo did go 1-on-1 with Fuji after completely destroying Bastille. The last time the BB crew encountered an admiral (and yes it was pre-TS) the entire crew ran away from Sakazuki. Overall with the Mera Mera no mi Sabo proved he could hold his own with an admiral, Burgess is an underhanded trickster like his Captain (who I feel would face a similar fate without his DF) and while it may slow down the BB pirates' hype train, I personally am more interested in Burgess' future now as he is pretty much guaranteed to receive a significant power-up (from DF or otherwise) and I am now interested to see how the so-called Champion uses this crushing defeat in order to motivate him towards that power-up. BB may be the "most evil" of the Yonko but at this point I still feel he is also the weakest of them. He and his entire crew will continue to grow significantly with hopefully more references to how they continue to grow in a way which is similar to the SHs. The motivations of the BB crew and the actions they take to reach their goals are what will serve to make Teach the antithesis of Luffy as a pirate.

RE: Chapter 792: Kneeling Down
I imagine Doffy will reappear since the whole reason he wanted the Ope Ope no Mi/the great Tenryuubito secret was never revealed.
Wasn't the whole reason he wanted the Ope Ope no mi that he wanted someone to make him immortal?

RE: Chapter 792: Kneeling Down
I thought overall that this was a great chapter.
First of all there was Sabo's decimation of Burgess, to which I don't really understand the backlash. Sabo is number two of the RA, appearing to have trained directly with/under Dragon, AKA the most dangerous ma in the world. This alone equipped him to be able to beat out Burgess, though not really directly, in the coliseum but with the addition of the Mera Mera his power level sky-rocketed (remember this fruit was so powerful that Rebecca thought she could use it to beat Doffy lol). Then if this was not enough as we've seen happen with antagonists to Luffy/Ace in the past, ole Burgers invoked that rage the brothers are known for causing a full-power strike. To me it makes perfect sense that Burgess became fodder no matter what his supposed position was, as others have said he has time to grow. It seems to me it was set up perfectly that Burgess and Sabo were on equal ground until the Mera, but after that there was no chance.
The real satisfaction in my opinion though came from finally seeing Fujitora's actions come to bear fruit. He had orders to come deal with the Doflamingo situation in the beginning, but turned out having to go after Luffy and Law. His position means he cannot act against a warlord so he puts on the façade of a proper admiral and goes after the supposed rouges (SHs). He sees that Doflamingo is destroying the country and he sees that Luffy/Law are trying to stop DD. Thus he "distracts" himself with things such as aiding the civilians, fighting Sabo etc. He sticks to taking actions that an employee of the WG "should" make in this warped world. Until this chapter that is. The apology was so powerful because it was a public admission of guilt and wrongdoing from a high-ranking official in the WG, but I also felt it was because he was apologizing for the actions he and his men took on that very day. Fujitora clearly knew he was not doing all he could for the country, this proves that acting solely on the authority of the WG is not sufficient in stopping some of the evil plaguing the OP world (as well as obviously tying into his plan to abolish the warlords.)
Also as a side note, contrary to popular opinion I actually felt greatly for King Dold throughout this entire arc so to see him finally get his country and his loving subjects back. Long live Riku-sama the Miracle King.

RE: Let's play a game:Create you own crew.
Captain: Me of course
First Mate/Navigator: X Drake - His powerful DF combines with the combat skills he acquired working his way up to being a rear admiral in the marines. His time in the marines also makes me assume he possesses at least some navigation skills.
Cook: Ivankov -Useful in combat due to his DF plus New Kama Kenpo and he assumingly knew all the recipes Sanji learned to improve his cooking in the TS
Doctor: Caesar Clown - One of the smartest men in the world who clearly has extensive knowledge of chemistry and seemingly knows about being able to sustain others health (the children)
Shipwright Paulie -Can clearly hold his own in combat and being a Galle-La foreman his skills are unquestionable
Sniper: Van Auger - Guy seems unbeatable at long range, unbelievably fast and accurate just the perfect sniper
Scout: Perona - Perona makes the perfect scout seeing as how she can project herself from her body, doing this while scouting an island makes her untouchable regardless of what she comes across

RE: All Out Battle: Best to Worst Characters of OP
I gotta admit that I lowered his score just for the fact that he puts his chivalry before his crew even, where Luffy and Zoro for example seem to sacrifice everything for the crew if necessary. Maybe Sanji's redemption will still come though, he'd go from a 5 to a 7 for me just for that sacrifice alone.
I don't know if Sanji has shown more character than Zoro per se. It's more that his lady-loving personality is more excentric and more noticeable than Zoro's meat head attitude. I finds Zoro's had more defining moments of character with the sacrifice for the crew at Thriller Bark(Sanji being made more into a 'mr. me too' here), the throwing away of his honor for the crew in front of Mihawk and standing up for the better of the crew as a vice captain with Usopp wanting to come back. I guess in terms of depth of character they don't differ that much in my opinion, but because of defining moments and preference of character (more of a dislike of Sanji's priorities) I rate Sanji lower. Which is not that bad considering both their characters get 2's and 3's as well
I can see why the whole idea of chivalry turning people away from Sanji, but in a similar way (but to a lesser extent) where Zoro threw away his honor to Mihawk, Sanji voluntarily put himself through his definition of "hell" for two years in order to improve himself and learn what he could from the Newkamas and Ivankov. He chose to accept the challenge in order to improve both his fighting skills as well as to learn to cook the special Newkama cuisine. Again this is a lesser sacrifice than Zoro made with his honor, but he still subjected himself to the "tortures" he would face in the Kamabakka Kingdom where as the others were either forced to train (Usopp, Brook to some degree) or were training in places they were comfortable (Nami, Franky). I think because it is fairly comical people don't think about the fact that Sanji voluntarily made this sacrifice and they downplay the weight of him training two years through his own personal hell .
