This is dragging along too slow…what was the point in showing the new rookie class…they are all going to get pwned in like 4 panels.

Mostly to show the level of what has become fodder to the Straw Hats. We wouldn’t really know how strong they are without knowing how strong the fodder is. Both there bounties are higher than Zoro’s when he got to SA so the marines see them as more of a threat/more ruthless than Zoro at his point in reaching SA.
It could have been done ‘during’ the actual fight. I really don’t want them fleshed out as much and would rather the past few chapters plus next chapter got condensed fro 4 to 2 chapters…issue ‘600’ should be the beginning of the new journey…not 601 or 602. But damn that was ALOT of text on that one panel 0_0 it’s like they took the past 2 years of Bleach and crammed it (well its not a cram once you remove white space har har) into a single spread lol…
And damn Usopp got more diesel than I realized. I wonder how he’s actually ‘improved’ short of conditioning and additional shots.
Ah, they got their bounties the “cheap” way. Of course killing a bunch of lower class marines is going to get them higher bounties. I’m not impressed. hmph.
Speaking of Usopp, I’m to lazy to go back and check but is he still using Kabuto or did he go back to his old sling shot cause I don’t think I saw him carrying it around.
Don’t think they’ve shown a good shot of what it is yet. Can’t be the same Kabuto but it will probably be something similar that can collapse into itself given he hasn’t been shown with anything that big yet.
He got diesel…all he needs now is a rubberband around his wrist…bring it up to his fingers and give a peace sign pow
GGPO
This. I think chapter was a bit of a dragger, was hoping everyone would meet on the big 600, maybe 601 ?
This is anything but dragging. Brooke just announced on stage to a sold out crowd “Straw Hat Luffy is dead? Ridiculous.”
It’s not dragging, just slow, and seems behind the ‘figured’ schedule of having them depart on 600. What’s happend over the past three issues and next issue would fit in 2 issues just as well. Oda is mortal - tis all.
I think we’re just all impatient of seeing the improved SHs fight.
I kinda would rather him drag than rush to add things to reach a stupid even numbered chapter.
Oda made that mistake trying to make chapter 100 when they entered the Grand Line and had to remove Daddy Masterson from the manga which was part of Usopp development and also let us know more about Yasopp and the Red Hair Pirates.
Oda is doing the right thing IMO by taking his time with the Straw Hats reunion.
Uh isn’t Daddy just a filler?
Daddy was supposed to be in the manga but Oda wanted the Straw Hats to reach the Grand Line on chapter 100 so he removed him from the story. Daddy is in the Loguetown Novel and also in the anime filler.
I wish I could find where Oda said it but Daddy Masterson is but isn’t really a filler character. Hopefully he shows up in the manga somehow.
I know I am.
Robin’s ass look phat as hell on the first panel on page 17.
Its gonna be funny to see Luffy take out the fake SHs and these suppose “deadly” rookies.
He’ll either Haki them unconscious again, or I think the Marines will fuck everybody up.
Luffy takes care of all the fake mugiwara and the followers…marines get there on a vast area of just defeated pirates.
They gotta just flash to them finding out who he is and abotu to attack, then luffy just shows up at the ship and they leave.
The marines just find everyone ruined. We can’t go and show Luffy destroying everyone yet.
Either thator Luffy beats the shit out of them and we see it.
I kinda like the tease aspect of the former though. Just building up the suspense of us seeing Luffy’s new skillz. Just give us a taste when he punches Sentomaru and runs off. Don’t blow the load now Oda.
