It’s out on mangastream too now.
Seriously, no pun intended - Brook is fucking cool now.
I’m really digging Robin’s powers; she can create huge replicas of her body and “bloom” on numerous places at once–it’s like a mix between Naruto’s cloning technique and Komamura’s huge avatar, except with shades and sex appeal.
Robin is quite charming now. It seems hanging out Dragon and the Revolutionaries has mellowed her out a bit. I wonder if making multiples of herself is taxing on her “bodies” though. I remember when making those “Cien Fleur” wing-arms took a lot out of her.
Brook has created some interesting possibilities for what we might see in the future.
SOOOOOOUL KING! :smokin:
brook’s soul speech was dope
I like how Robin…
Spoiler
… just can’t say no to a handsome man. Jimbei for pimp tier.
Dang. I guess Robin likes those assertive men.
Looks like Brook isn’t so useless after all.
Usopp is actually living up to his lies? Nice.
Strawhats are continuing to steam roll. They aren’t even really paying attention to their opponents.

It’s good that they expanded on Brook’s abilities. I mean while being a skeleton/musician is a pretty cool, he was just another swordsman and I found that kinda plain.
No Beast Piece this week?

A quick check of Mangastream says that a bunch of manga, including Bea…One Piece, are delayed until tomorrow.
Yeah, I remember hearing that was a common complaint about him and I’m sure that Oda heard it, though I imagine he had this planned for a while knowing Oda.
Considering that I came in after Thriller Bark basically ended (and Kuma Prime showed up and Ursa Shocked everyone), his appearance was enough to keep me from complaining. Still nice to see him coming into his own and that the Yomi Yomi Fruit wasn’t nearly as lame an ability as it seemed. I wonder what the lamest seeming one is now then… Alvida’s?

I will be waiting eagerly, like a father waiting for his son to come home from the war.:sad:
I say nay. It’s actually very powerful fruit, especially if the user combined it with Haki. Probably could beat Sentomaru for the title of “best defense”.
(finds that war analogy utterly inappropriate but he personally has said worse)
Oh, it’s not that Sube Sube/Slip Slip Fruit is useless. It just seems the worst overall considering that everything it does, outside of possibly movement speed, Hina’s Ori Ori/Cage Cage Fruit does better. This seems especially true since “smooth skin” isn’t exactly going stop energy attacks, Logia or Haki.
…Then again, maybe it might considering all the busted shit that Kuma’s initially weird-sounding fruit could do with its “mere” pushing capabilities. Maybe it could cause abstracts to “slip off”, though what the hell that would entail is difficult to say. Maybe we’ll see more of it when Buggy shows back up because Alvida and Mr. 3 have a much better chance of coming back stronger than poor Buggy does.
I still can’t think of a weaker (canonical) fruit that hers, though. Maybe Absalom’s invisibility one, but that’s kinda biased since I think that invisibility is a mostly useless power unless you’re an assassin or a pervert.
Technically, Chopper’s fruit would be the most useless if eaten by a normal human.
(I still can’t decide. I could have sworn there was one I thought worse than those two, though.)
That’s what I used to think, but that was before Haki was officially revealed. Considering that you’d become a “peak human” and that additional “enlightenment” would probably make you incredibly good with Haki (or at least have a good head-start when most people aren’t even aware it exists), I think becoming Batman/Captain America with Qi powers is still better than “just” being “slippery” even if the fruit was “wasted” on a human.
Mangastream has chapter 644 up.
Lot of yap yap Holy War yap yap. Then Luffy comes in with the FALCON PUNCH and names it after Ace. One page of pure awesome.
(Weird. I was looking for the threads in my alerts and unwatched to bump it, but it didn’t show up. Meh. Laziness.)
Yeah, even for me this chapter was a lot more talky than I expected, though I suppose that means this arc is basically nearing its end sans the wrap-up phase considering that last awesome page.
I’m still kinda surprised Mr. Numa Numa has been shown again yet. I guess that just means he’ll be dealt with even more quickly than I expected unless he escapes just to show how fucked up the New World can get.
P.S. Anyone else chuckle at the Klans Fishman close-up panel?
Guys! Luffy saved the day with a punch! A new one! I never would have thought that would have happened!
AH, I love One Piece! I love Japan!

POKEMON!
So guys, what do you think is going to happen to all the well rounded, great new additions to the cast? I don’t think we’ll never see any of them again, I would just die if that happened.
Well, Oda takes 75% of the chapter to fully explain Hody and clique were just blind racists raised as such as kids without ever being exposed to real humans until it after they were set. I almost feel like some of this chapter was directed toward those being raised to be terrorists in the middle east as well given the bits explained here as well. It was nicely shown, you still can’t feel much sympathy because dudes are still shown as monsters but you get why they are called empty.
But DAMN!!
[details=Spoiler] Did Luffy just take a page from Akainu and punch a hole through Hody at the end?
I’d be shocked if Hody doesn’t still get back up though, I get the feeling Hody probably will die at the end of this but not by Luffy’s hand but something he himself set into motion, most likely the drugs finally catching up with him. But for Oda to have Luffy finish the big bad off before the crew finish wiping out their opponents, that would break manga traditional wouldn’t it?
[/details]
I thought this chapter was just going to be all about war and how Fukaboshi is begging for Luffy to help…until BAM!!! the punch from hell comes. Hody’s expression the moment before impact was priceless.
