Luffy didnt make any commands

he tried to communicate though
is simple as momo could communicate with it while the elephant is specifically talking to him that's the point

Momo couldnt either, Zushina didnt even know someone was actually there it wasnt until Momo gave an order that he responded in any way

wut? the elephant knew momo was there and who he was. thats why he specifically asked for momo to give an order that would allow the elephant to fight back. i thought it was pretty obvious that someone from momos ancestry had previously given an order to the elephant which prohibited him from fighting or something, so it makes sense the only one who can overrule such an order would be someone in that lineage

It seems more similar to Shirahoshi's power to control sea kings.
I was literally just thinking of this and wondering if it meant Momo was one of the ancient weapons and if that might explain why Doffy was so interested in capturing him. Luffy could have given an order too, its different from the Sea Kings that only obey the Mermaid Princess, Zou is something that wants to do things but cannot do anything without an order, so at best in this scenario he would be the ancient weapon That's your opinion, of course presented as fact, but we actually have no idea if Luffy could have given the order or not. The text seems to indicate that he could not. Luffy actually says: "All I can do is hear, the voice doesn't listen to me." And we find out that even Roger and Lord Oden couldn't talk to the beast either "A majestic voice they were unable to converse with." That doesn't sound at all like just anyone who can hear him can talk to him, in fact, it sounds an awful lot like only Momo could actually speak to Zunisha, just as Shirahoshi was the only one who could control the sea kings. Once they know what to do, Luffy again defers to Momo because "I think your voice can reach it." You really just have a kneejerk reaction to shut down any speculation except your own don't you? + Show Spoiler +edit: also, Kinemon basically confirms it's a special power of Momo's on page 20. + Show Spoiler + cause Kinemon is totally the keeper of all wierd immortal elephant lore... did you consider that noone could converse with it because it did not want to converse? and only now that shit was getting serious did it deem it neccesary to converse? it could also be that Momos power is more advanced then Luffys for whatever reason or perhaps it can only take orders from descendants of momos family, or maybe Luffy was just mistaken in all of it, he was asking questions not giving orders and wasnt getting a response so thought he couldnt talk to it but Zushina might be unable to hear anything but orders and was just shouting out under the assumption, or hope, that someone could hear him or maybe like the minks Zushina has loyalty to Momos house so didnt want to listen to luffy and im not shutting down any speculation, thats waht YOUR doing, im offering an opinion of how i think things are going thats all I agree, there's lots of different possibilities, but your initial reply was more like "lol, no you're wrong," which is clearly not good for discussion or for the forum to be honest. It would be great if we could use this thread to actually discuss the manga and different theories and not just have it be a stupid troll fest. Anyway, I think the text clearly indicates a strong possibility that the ability to command Zunisha is an ability that only belongs to Momosuke. My speculation is that this may mean he is one of the ancient weapons. Just as the princess of the Merfolk may inherit the ability, so may the prince of the Wano kingdom (this may be related to the eternal alliance between Zou and Wano). We also see the parallels with Shirahoshi in their weak/crying but "trying to be strong" personalities, and Luffy's somewhat rough treatment of them in order to make them shape up. Zunisha's role as the instrument of the ancient weapon may very well be why she/he has been punished. This also may explain why Doffy wanted so badly to capture Momo, as he may have inside knowledge that there's a possibility of him being the ancient weapon. I'm not saying it's right, just that it's an interesting possibility. in that case though wouldnt his father have been the current possessor of the ability since Momo wasnt born when he was on Zushina? plus Momo was given to Caesor for his giantification experiments, he would have been killed if he hadnt been so stalwart as to refuse candy, also i disagree with him being "weak but trying to be strong" he showed strength in Punk Hazard nearly escaping alone, the problem is the things hes facing is way beyond a 10 y/o kids ability to really process plus the ability to control all the sea kings is on another level then being able to control one elephant, the fact that it can be sealed (imo) is enough to discredit it as an ancient weapon that are supposed to be like world destroying level danger i really think Kinemon was definently just talking about the power to hear Zushina
His father may have been the previous possessor of this ability, however he is dead now.
Ceasar wouldn't have known about Momo, but someone like DD would possibly have knowledge about the ancient weapons.
He was just crying about asking Luffy for help, same way Shirahoshi was, that's all I'm saying. Also, 10 year old Luffy/Ace/Sabo underwent the same or worse, with the difference that they were stronger.
Your last point is subjective and not really a good one. Not only is the elephant much larger than a seaking, but it can attack on land or on sea, whereas the seakings are confined to the ocean.

Ye most definitely setting sail for the Reverie.
Interesting chapter, building things up a bit. Seems the Zou arc's already finished. ![](/mirror/smilies/wink.gif) No news from Jack also, we will have to wait a bit till Zoro leaves I guess ?
Also, what with the Pedro/Pekoms relationship ? Mangastream somewhat says brother, but is it family bonds or just an actual figure of speech. And why is Pedro "the only one able to keep Pekoms in line" ? Just a question of strength or is there more to it ?
Definitely a nice chapter.

New Clima tact for Nami. Though did Usopp say he couldn't put all the tech in there? Wonder what he left out.
Also Vivi hype!

"please command me... IF you are out there

well we dont actually know this for certain, though im certain ill get shit for this we do see them pop there heads above the ocean when the going merry accidently enters the calm belt so its possible there capable of breating air and having some mobility on land

i wouldnt really say they went through more, and i wouldnt say they didnt cry at any point during it
http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/588/20
he had his father killed, his country taken, was kidnapped, starved, trapped alone in a garbage shoot
the last few weeks would have been pretty terrible for him
honestly thats worse then Ace and Luffy

I said not willing to follow his command, and thus ignoring Luffy. He was asking to be commanded so its possible he could hear Luffy and knew he was listening, but was not adressing him. Anyway, it still looks like he was not listening at all.

Sick chapter as always
Looks like zoro is going to have fun on wano
and a bunch of other cool shit
for a second though i was wondering whether or not sanji was supposed to marry vivi xD
|
Love Nami's face at the end there. "This is my life right now"
|
|
coup d'état like incoming at the reverie for whatever reason
|
The Vivi/Reverie stuff is probably just going to be a teaser at this point. Probably will have to wait till the end of the 'Rescue Sanji' mission to see that develop more. Oda is a master of torture.
|
cant believe zoro is not going to rescue his true love T_T I am betting that means we won't have much big (rough) fights at big mon's side, it will be resolved by numy's friendship with her daughter etc.

Zushina straight saids "if soemone is there" its likely he can only hear Orders
