Ceaser seems to want to try to improve on everything Vegapunk tried to or did do. If the dragon fruit was failure although we do not know exactly how it is a failure yet maybe this shinokuni is also maybe his way of improving the creation of devil's fruits. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yUFnc.png) | ||

Still he can fly and retains his intelligence which is pretty good and I'm guessing he has some sort of sorcery ability being a Chinese mythical dragon, even though I have no idea what that would be. Though was the DF really a failure when it was put in a special glass case? Maybe it was Vegapunk's first artificial DF, although how exactly do you know a DF is a failure when it's never been seen before and is not eaten. I think him being a failure is more a joke at the chinese dragons which by comparison aren't nearly as badass as western ones. Also what's with everyone wanting everything to be explained by devil fruits? Monet has harpy parts, we know. We also know Law transformed practically everyone on the island. Thus, the assumption should be, Monet was changed by Law, not "lols she has 2 fruits". Nice having confirmation it is the snow-snow fruit. Lots of interesting and lol-worthy moments in this chapter, look forward to next week. | ||

Guesses as to why that is? http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v60/c685/17.html Yeah I was looking at that panel for ages thinking "Why is Luffy wearing glasses!?!?" And even if it is Doflamingo (which...I think it is) it leaves a tonne of other questions... ....are there any good theories about it? Don't frequent websites that discuss manga as much as I used to. EDIT: My theory would be that the samurais know Doflamingo already. Maybe momonosuke (however you spell his name) has a deep fear of Doflamingo and his hunger hallucinations brought about a flashback? Idk either way it's a pretty confusing panel | ||

Idk either way it's a pretty confusing panel Yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Momonosuke (and maybe Kinemon) have had a bad experience with Doflamingo, and now passing out brings back flashbacks. This is plausible, as the kids were kidnapped for Caesar's experiments, and Caesar is working "under" Doflamingo right now (kind of), so Doflamingo may have personally kidnapped some of the kids. | ||

It took him years of training to get the hang out of them. | ||

Chinese dragons are immortal gods complete with human forms, oceanic domains, emperor like life style, and power over different elements. There are kirins and stuff I don't even know about but there's more to them their mythology than their western counterpart. | ||

What the heck is a main arc? There are arcs. They are all important, some just less so in the eyes of some people. I don't see how an arc with Doflamingo's crew, Vegapunk's "rival" who is working on giantification and mythological creatures, Law a Shichibukai, an introduction to the country of Wano, all of the Strawhats, Smoker + Tashigi and a weapon of mass destruction on an island transformed by a 10 day battle between Aokoji and Akainu is anything but a main arc. Consider me confused. | ||

Consider me confused. I think he considers this part part of a larger arc kinda of like Whiskey Peak and Little Garden were part of the Alabasta/Baroque Works Arc. Either way, this arc has been pretty badass so far, imo. | ||

Consider me confused. Just like how Baroque Works was not a 'main' arc, but preceded the Alabasta arc. This is obviously a lead up arc to when Luffy confronts Don Flamingo and his crew. Don't get me wrong, it's really good. But shit hasn't hit the fan yet! That's what I'm waiting for.  | ||

Luffy could stretch immediately upon eating the gum gum fruit, the things he had to train was his aim at using his pistol take croc for instance, instantly upon eating the sand sand fruit he could turn to sand and suck up moisture but it took alot of training to make his sand blade and the tornado thing so Momosuke should isntantly know how to transform (just like square nose of C9 knew how to transform and the chick knew how to create bubbles) | ||
