One Piece

[durendal]

New chapter's out. Looks like unwanted trouble for the real Straw Hats Pirate. An unexciting chapter but a good bridge to what's about to come. Can't wait till they get it on. I hope they won't simply escape the marines this time, but actually fight their way out. Shabody Archipelago was where the Straw hats Adventure ended, and this is where they will begin their new adventures.

[*BananaKing]

Did anyone notice the order the strawhats arrived in? Its the same order Kuma vanished them in

Oh yeah and it looks like Luffy vs Sentamaru Rd 2 will come sooner than we think

[durendal]

So Sentoumaru is now a Vice Admiral? This would be interesting.

[*BananaKing]

I don't remember reading that...oh well still interesting. Did anybody else just facepalm when Zoro fell asleep on the coated boat heading for Fishman Island...before he pulled a Mihawk and filleted the boat that is

[durendal]

It was not written, but look over Sentomaru's shoulders. That's definitely a vice-admiral uniform.

[odin]

I had a feeling that zorro had found the ship first by accident and that chapter confirmed it, too bad he has only one eye now but man does he look bad ass, I started to laugh my ass off when did a terminator when he was searching for a girl, do you think sanji still has a little gayness in him? 2 years in an island like that can really hurt a guy of sanjis caliber i am very fired up to see what everybody has to show, specially brook since it does not appear that Kuma sent him there for a specific reason like the others, his music attacks must be awesome now but i wonder how awesome.

[durendal]

I guess we could say that Zorro is as powerful as Mihawk is then? I mean, when we first saw Mihawk, he easily did what Zorro have just done.

Also, seeing Sanji's first reaction when he got to Shabody Archipelago makes me think that his male hormones are still as strong. He'll definitely get a big nose bleed once he sees Nami and Robin and thier enhanced endowment.

With Brooks constant touring, he's got to have something up his sleeve that made him that famous. Perhaps it's the power of his song, or perhaps he managed to make use of hakki through his song. I mean, a lot of people fainted when he was playing. Oh wells, we'll just have to wait and see.

[*BananaKing]

I think because he's like a music god now.

I doubt Mihawk would make Zoro equal to him, but he would give him the strength and skills necessary to beat Mihawk on his own. Remember he told Zoro to see the world and grow strong.

Yeah Sanji's never going to be gay...again XD

[durendal]

When Mihawk and Zorro first met, Mihawk already acknowledged the potential of Zorro. Who knows, Zorro might have defeated Mihawk so he could leave that island.

I feel sorry for Sanji, he is constantly rejected by females but he is constantly overwhelmed by advances from okamas. His situation was trully the classic dreams turning into nightmares.

Ooh! I can't wait until all the strawhats are gathered together.

[*BananaKing]

The only women Sanji was rejected by were strawhat members and the temp members like Camie and Vivi. There's no lady that can resist his charm

You think Oda wouldn't show us the climactic battle between Zoro and Mihawk? That would be a huge kick in the balls

[durendal]

There can always be flashbacks you know.

[*BananaKing]

I still think that would be stupid of Oda. Up till now he's made Zoro's soul purpose of swordsmanship being to surpass Mihawk; if we don't see Zoro dethrone Mihawk with the Strawhats watching along side us wouldn't you feel betrayed by Oda? I certainly would. I think not only we the audience, but the Strawhats need to see Zoro defeat Mihawk because they should all achieve their dreams together instead of alone.

[odin]

I think that being the best swordsman has taken 2nd place in priority for zorro, i'd say it started since the Thriller Bark saga where he willingly sacrifices his life for Luffy since he agreed to Kuma to take his life instead and now he swallows his pride to ask Mihawk to train him meaning that right now his first Goal is to make Luffy Pirate King THEN become the greatest swordsman although both goals can be parallel to each-other since if he makes Luffy the king then that means that means that he has the potential to be the best swordsman so the epic battle with Mihawk may still be underway at the end of this series, who knows?, i am just glad that the crew is getting back together I have faith in Oda-sensei that he knows what he is doing.

Last chapters only highlight for me was Zoro, and Im going to have to disagree with Zoro being equal to or able/already beat Mihawk at this point in the story, and it looks like Oda is setting up the SH crew for a rematch vs Sentomaru and the Px's.

I'm really looking forward to that. I wonder though: does anyone think Luffy may have created a "Gear 4th" during his training? That would be epic. I know his Gear 2nd/3rd combo attacks are kind of like a Gear 4th, but something new would be really amazing. Luffy being able to use haki attacks is all well and good, but it'll get boring relatively fast if he just uses the same moves after 2 years

[durendal]

I'm sure he's achieve techniques more powerful than the gear 2nd and 3rd. I mean, he managed to learn the basics from Rayliegh in just half a year, so he has had a full one and a half year to develop a new technique. His gear 2nd is already on par with an opponent capable of hakki (some members of CP9) what more if he added it to his attacks.

Point taken regards to Zorro and Mihawk. I guess it will be kinda depressing to have to kill your mentor. Not to mention that would make Zorro an ingrate.

Well, so far Oda-sensei hasn't disappointed us yet. There's a reason why One Piece is still the number 1 manga in Japan.

[*BananaKing]

I thought One Piece was #3? Maybe its just #3 here in America

[KING GHIDORAH]

In japan ONne piece is #1, nationally who knows.

Man o man I want to know what Df power does Doflamingo have.

and from this poin on im expecting most of the big time bad guys to have some type of haki powa.

[*BananaKing]

I think Doflamingo will have some sort of wire/string power. It would fit well after he cut off Oarz Jr's leg, I mean I don't know about you guys but it looked like the leg was cut off with piano wire.

I just kind of wonder if Moria's alive.

I think thats what Oda wants us to think, but then will toss a curve ball at us once he reveals his powers.

I just kind of wonder if Moria's alive.

Tho I dislike Moria, dude is alive and kicking, either kuma saved him or Absalom and Hodback. imo

[durendal]

Doflamingo makes me want to think that he's gay.

[*BananaKing]

Well he's got that effeminate pink feather boa and wears capri pants...he's still my favorite warlord, Kuma being a close second then of course Jimbei. 5000 sharktile seiken was an epic punch!

[KING GHIDORAH]

Doflamingo makes me want to think that he's gay.

Then I must say durendal, you haven't met any true pimps in your life time.

[durendal]

Haha! Pimpin' ain't easy. Well, he should be adding all the other bling blings to his personage.

[KING GHIDORAH]

^ lol

On a serious note, while on the subject of the flamingo, While we don't know if his puppeteer power is a DF or not, I would like to discuss his possible Haki power, which in my opinion is the Color of Armaments.

My proof to support this theory is pretty simple.

Here you have Doflamingo block Crocodiles attack with his leg.

Much like Dark King Silvers did against Yellow Monkey.
