I wonder how the SHs are going to take down Kaidou when they got Big Mom after them! i dont really expect big mom to do much initiative in taking out the SH
also id ahve to say since Caeser is the only one who can make the gas, and is captured so the gas will never be made again makes the gas a pretty useless weapon

I don't know, I feel like Big Mom will be very pissed when the gold she gets blows up in her face.

wow mangastream and mangapanda/reader really have worlds of different translations.
Luffy's last statement actually makes sense reading MS, I actually only noticed the line "of evil and justice" after again through the MS version which could be credited to the higher resolution though. Also in MP/MR Smoker says that he won't keep his promise with a pirate while MS says he "is surprised that law kept his promised, two totally different meanings.
I guess mangapanda really prefers speed for the sake of quality.

Also apart from big mom and kaidou there is doflamingo coming to punk hazard. So many possibilities for the next arc. I wonder what's gonna happen. And there is also that mysterious character() coming to punk hazard.
And regarding luffy wanting to bring down all of the Yonko i really can't imagine him fightning Shanks. Shanks was luffy's inspiration for becoming a pirate, it wouldnt make much sense for luffy to fight him and bring him down.

Luffy and Law are going to be taking Caesar, but Smoker is going to take Baby5, Buffalo, Brownbeard and the other underlings however I'm not sure Smoker can keep Baby5 and Buffalo locked up given their connection to Donflamingo. Even a normal Shichibukai could get one criminal released from Impel Down as seen when Jimbei got Arlong released, but Donflamingo has men working in the Marines so he has deeper connections. Not only that but Smoker will have a hard time explaining the situation on Punk Hazard especially if he has to have his testimony go against Vergo. Sure the Smoker's men, Caesar's underlings and the children can testify, but how much respect will their testimony be given?
Although wondering about that might be premature as we don't know what Donflamingo and the mystery person we assume is Aokoji will do. Not surprised that the G5 Marines that were gassed will live as others saw it coming when Kinemon was gassed as he was too important to die so everyone else is probably going to live too.
|
That was a great finale to this arc, ends with everyone happy, and has a good segway into the next one. Likely going to see Aokiji and Doflamingo involved next, and possibly one of the Yonkou, but I doubt Luffy is going to face one immediately.

Yea I had absolutely no idea it was doing so well. I really wouldnt have tell that from the manga, because its so trash. I absolutely HATE this manga, playing basketball myself. Each time I read it I want to punch my screen (yes I know, I shouldnt read it, but I keep doing it because im always wondering what crazy impossible-to-do shit they are going to come up with). Well, there was my rant, but I guess it could be a good manga if you don't know basketball really well. Other than that, really good chapter of One Piece this week!
You shouldn't take sports manga too seriously. There are only like a handful that don't turn into DBZ where each ball shot/pass/whatever turn into like a kamehameha (LOOKING AT YOU PRINCE OF TENNIS) but they can still be entertaining.
|
I mean who takes Tsubasa seriously and stuff like top spin or tiger shot :D I still love it to death.
Yeah taking sports mangas not too seriously is probably the best approach.
|
There are plenty of (semi) realistic sport manga that are great+ (or at the very least not DBZish)
Slam Dunk, Eyeshield 21,Hajime no Ippo,Baby Steps, Ookiku Furikabutte....currently loving Haikyuu, it's-so-good
..then there's stuff like Prince of Tennis and Kuroko.
|
Wow! So I guess it was Kaidou who had the army of Zoans instead of Big Mam! That's really interesting. There are so many possibilities for the next arc. I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen next, and that's really exciting!

You know that thing they do with chopsticks in their nose every party looks really uncomfortable.

But it's funny and they are probably drunk. People do stupid things lol.

It does seem kind of weird that the target is Kaido given Luffy will be pissing off a 2nd emperor which might be more than he can handle. I wonder if we'll see a reappearance of Moria given he has a grudge against Kaido and his fate was left really open ended.

..then there's stuff like Prince of Tennis and Kuroko. People have different tastes  If you're talking about not liking completely unrealistic superpowers, in Eyeshield 21 you have a high schooler guy who looks like a mafia boss and crushes steel railings with his bare hands. It's pointless arguing about this kind of stuff because almost every shounen sports/battle manga necessitates this kind of endless upgrading/getting new powers. Some series might seem to do it better than others to you. No point in shitting on them.
Hm considering reading OP again volume by volume instead of by weekly chapters...I think it was definitely more enjoyable that way. Still a great series though :o

I wonder if we'll see a reappearance of Moria given he has a grudge against Kaido and his fate was left really open ended. It seems likely. Luffy's most dangerous power is turning strangers and enemies into allies. Luffy, himself will not be able to take on Kaidou, but with the help of Law and others that he will bring into his alliance his chances grow significantly higher. As already stated, X Drake is a potential ally and perhaps even Moria if Luffy pulls another Crocodile. I don't think Kinnemon will join the crew, but I also don't think he's just going to disappear after all of that character development and with the remaining mystery surrounding his country and abilities. So he's another ally, and perhaps even Wano country? Anyways, I can't wait to see the craziness that goes down because I'm sure that Oda will just pull the speculation carpet right from under us (for the millionth time) and go in a completely new direction that we never anticipated.

its less abouting bringing him down then showing shanks how big hes grown

Doflamingo could lose his status if he tries to save baby 5 and buffalo through legal means, Arlong got released because Jimbei and his crew recieved amnesty upon becoming a shichibukai thats why Arlong later got locked up again because he left Jimbei's crew
the Shichibukai recieve amnesty as long as they follow marines orders and going to punk hazard is against those orders (plus conspiring with Caeser) so even Doflamingo would be in huge trouble if he tries to do this the legal way
also Vergo is dead, even if he survives shikonuki hes still in like a bazillion pieces because of law and since smoker has the kids who Vergo declared dead noones gonna believe Vergo
|
Going to Punk Hazard is a crime but we don't know how big of a crime. Smoker and Law went too but I doubt they will lose their status. Punk Hazard was just a dangerous area with failed experiments, it is not that important to the Marines and they did not know Caesar was doing anything there. Caesar who also cannot be used as evidence because he is being taken away. Baby5 and Buffalo are pirates but they are pirates in Donflamingo's crew so I don't see why they wouldn't get amnesty just like Arlong did. Vergo is not dead as Law has non lethal ability otherwise Kinemon would be dead. I just see a lot of potential for more cover ups and conspiracies like the after math of Crocodile's scheme and the Impel Down incident.

Smoker aparently thinks being on punk hazard was enough to threaten Law with revoking his status, Smoker had good reason to come to punk hazard and has the recording to prove it
they have no reason to doubt whats smoker saying, he has the kids who were declared as dead by Vergo so obviously Vergo was part of some conspiracy
plus they ahve brownbeards testimony and baby 5 and buffalo have doflamingos mark on him
plus Vegapunk will probably lead/send a team to investigate to see whats up and find all of caesers equipment
all in all theres no reason they wouldnt listen to what smokers saying, smoker is pretty much a model marine aside from his hate of superiors and they know he wouldnt lie to cover up for pirates
news of what happened on punk hazard will never reach the public and will be covered up but that doesnt mean the people involved wont be thrown in impel down
