These Kuma clones are a lot weaker than the prototype that Zoro faced (the prototype being the actual Shichibukai member).

For one, there's no way that they have the original's devil fruit, and two, the original definitely would not have been blown back by Franky's attack.

Is Hawkins a Scare Crow?

There is a chapter this coming week, or is Oda taking two weeks off, I am not sure from what I'm seeing in the thread.

As for a complete sentence, it really doesn't matter, a line does not need to be a complete sentence, it simply needs to be standalone. "Buggy!" is standalone, a complete thought, regardless of its merits as a 'sentence', it is a line, and therefore Zoro has three lines this chapter.

I really think that Kizaru is going to going to be fighting the Strawhats very, very soon, he doesn't care about the other rookies, he's not going to take them out unless they get in his way. He specifically came to the island to take out the strawhats because the strawhats hit the noble, if that hadn't happened, he would not be there, and he has other business to attend to and promised his command that it wouldn't take a lot of time.

He plans to go in, deal with the strawhats, and immediately go back, he's not there to play, the other rookies are safe unless they are stupid.

Mokke:

If i remember correctly, swordsmen cut only what they want to cut, and this time Zoro thought Kuma was human and not metal, he made a strike that would hurt humans, just like hes sensei thought him http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/194/15/ .

So if Zoro knew hes was going to cut metal, he would have cut Kuma. (Just a theory)

If Zoro were capable of cutting Kuma he would not have offered up his life for Luffy's, he would have defeated Kuma. It's obvious that Zoro knew outright that he stood no chance against Kuma after his attempted Lion's Song, and this is why he offered up his head, it was his duty as the first mate to protect the crew and the Captain if the Captain could not do so himself, so Zoro decided that he only had one option and followed through with it for the sake of his nakama.

Well considering the fact that Bepo screamed out "Captain!" immediately following that was just my assumption.

Wouldn't it be funny if Kizaru was actually Dragon.

I am not impressed like everyone else seems to be by Law dodging the laser, to me that doesn't imply anything.

Zoro was able to constantly dodge all of Kuma's attacks, it doesn't matter if you can avoid his damage though unless you have a method to actually harm Kuma you can't win. The space movement ability that Law has might give him the ability to hit Kuma by separating him, but if Zoro's strongest attacks were only capable of cutting Kuma's CLOTHING I doubt either Kidd or Law can damage Kuma either.

I do believe; however, that With Law and Kidd's abilities combined, they will be able to stall Kuma long enough to get away.

So far Kuma hasn't even come close to using his abilities to the fullest against Kidd or Law, he's just using his most basic and easiest to avoid attack, the mouth laser that Zoro was capable of dodging while severely battered and broken immediately following a fight with another Shichibukai (Moria).

I don't think Killer is capable of cutting Kuma, and I don't think that the space time bubble actually harms what it separates, it doesn't effect mechanical function either so in some sense while the things are "separated" they are still "together" as well. In other words the body is still connected but because of a play with playtime it is separated as at the same time. They might be able to separate Kuma and then magnetize him and bury his individual parts under huge piles of rubble and then run, but that's about the extent of what they can do from what I've seen so far.

I mean just look at Zoro's fight with Kuma, nothing they've done is more impressive than what Zoro did, and Zoro was clearly at the disadvantage.

@ponx:

hmmm. 3 rookie pirates (strawhats, kidd, n law) an admiral, vice admiral and a shichibukai.
kidd ran into kuma, i'm calling that garp will run into law's crew n luffy will meet kizaru.

I think Luffy will run into Garp, since Garp is looking for Reileigh, and he's sticking with the Strawhats to coat their ship. Law will be the one to encounter Kizaru.

It's extremely obvious that if Shanks, Whitebeard, the other two Yonkou, and Rayleigh are all in the fight that it would be a rather large problem for the World Government, you'd have to be stupid to say that it wouldn't be. Garp, who is arguably one of the most experienced Marines in the entire fleet, said that just TWO legends at once would be something that they couldn't "Afford", add four more legends and say it's trivial? Lol you can't do that. I'm with Ivotas on this. Hell, add Dragon on top of that? The world government is confident, but so far, you have to realize, they can't even stop Dragon, let alone the Yonkou. That's right, you think they haven't sent Kuma to deal with Dragon, but they have to deal with Luffy? BS, Dragon's force, for whatever reason, is thus far untouchable by any power the World Government has. Why do you really think they need Poseidon? To deal with the pirates? Yes, the pirates are a pest, but that is just a cover, Dragon is the greatest threat and the real reason they need the weapon. But you guys really think that the four pirate emperors being added on top of that problem wouldn't be a big deal?

I find it suspicious that they're having the Shichibukai deal with Whitebeard, it tells me that they await a greater threat, otherwise, why would Sengoku be against Kizaru leaving, if the admirals aren't even the one's dealing with Whitebeard in the first place?

It's canon that Dragon is the greatest threat to the World Government, it's obvious that to the greatest threat goes the greatest resources. In my opinion, from what we've seen of the Shichibukai and the fact that Luffy has defeated every one he's encountered, the four Yonkou are certainly stronger than the Shichibukai. If the Shichibukai can't hold the line and Dragon involves himself, they're in trouble.

In other words, friends, the real reason that Garp fears multiple legend interference is Dragon. He fears how his son will take advantage of the situation, that's why the Marine's can't afford to take huge losses even if the win. In other words, if the World Government WINS, but takes large losses, Dragon, Garp's son, comes into action. This is the real risk.****

Well maybe they'll be involved in some weird way, maybe at the very least someone in Luffy's crew will read the newspapers after the talk with Shakky, lol.

Haha that would blow.
