(You forsook Toki Christ already? Blasphemer! [/hasn’t watched HnK/FotNS at all.])
Damn. That sounds about right. Not that I mind catching up on One Piece. I just still already need to do it with most earlier chapters before Impel Down and now I have no idea where to go to read it
Oh well. Time to start hunting.
Ricardo Martinez is also a savior, of his Mexicano peoples!
(So you’re telling me that you abandoned Toki Christ for Jesus Christo Martinez? I see how it is. Never thought you’d go for Mexican guys over Japanese ones. Then again, you’re not really weeaboo, so…)
So, I’m now caught, thanks to King9999 linking to Mangatraders about 7 pages ago. I will now needlessly provide you with my reactions to chapters 657 (which was the last one I read) up to 667 (since I came up back to 668) as I read them.
Yes, I too get to live the exciting life of a Twitter whore. How Grand (Line):
657: Quite a bit of irony in this chapter between Luffy pretending to be a centaur right before they find some and Chopper wishing he had Franky’s lasers.
658: Lol at Brook(e) drinking tea while scouting the island. Chopper looks so goofy in Kung-fu Point.
659: Similarly, Brook(e) getting creeped out probably won’t ever stop being funny. I blame snickering over that being part of the reason why I didn’t realize Law was Shichibukai now for about a minute; that and being a dumb-ass. Law has a sweet-ass “villa”.
Hmmm…Is Ceaser the first Logia that’s been introduced in a non-humanoid form?
660: Haha at everything hitting the fan on page 12 due to their reaction to the weird iced-giants room. Also, damn Sanji’s senses are good if he “heard” that scream. And, whoa, Law’s power seems even more broken than it initially did.
661: The fuck? Magellan isn’t Chief Warden anymore?
Anyway, nice to see Brook(e) get a yet another “feat” under his belt. I figured he’d start getting more in the New World, especially after how much people bitched about him being “useless” pre-time-skip. Ha at the “Warm Clothes” faces with everyone channeling Marv from Sin City.
So Law’s broken-ass power is called “Ope Ope No Mi” and is based on…remodeling? Who knew interior decorating was so dangerous? Kinda reminds me of that one-shot mathematical monster the Fantastic Four had to fight with the way Smoker describes it…
662: Good Lord, Impel Down has a Were-chihuahua as a new guard? Those poor, horrible bastards…
“Weaklings can’t pick their way of death.” …Well, if I hadn’t already liked Law, that would have sealed the deal.
…And he can go Kali Ma on people? Even Logia?! God, it’s like this man was designed solely to make everyone moist without reaching Mary Sue levels.
663: Samurai guy has a Clothing Fruit? …Hunh. That’s mundanely useful. Actually, that might be pretty bitching depending on what counts as “clothing” or a “disguise”. Does armor? [/has of-course started thinking about how to weaponize the power]
chooses to “disguise” self as a Samus Aran, complete with weaponry
Sanji took longer to perv out in Nami’s body than I thought he would. Using the Royal We for Nami’s breasts never occurred to me…
664: Oh, so Magellan just got demoted to vice-warden? Hunh. Kinda thought he left entirely or something.
As far as body-switches go, Smoker leaving his shirt open as Tashigi is actually kinda worse, oddly. Heh at the face-masks to tell who is who.
Geez, a lot happens/gets explained this chapter. Brownbeard sure got his ass kicked. Ceasar sure is a bastard and has a weird laugh. Using cripples as an excuse to introduce pseudo-mythical creatures sure is interesting. I sure could have gone without samurai explaining that he was communicating by farting, even as useful as that is…
665: Well, Franky-Chopper’s expression on page 4 here is nightmare-inducing. I have to agree with Robin. “Never again” indeed. Even Chopper-Sanji’s pissed off expressions aren’t as terrifying.
…Fuck. Zoro’s Group got a Game Over while we weren’t looking? Quick! Someone load up the last save!
666: Oh, hey! Mr. 2 is alive! I’m kinda surprised…
…So the mid-bosses’ given names are Rock and Scotch…?
…
…Damn it, Oda. You and your love of puns. Why you must rival me?
Geez, Brownbeard got a cannon-rifle point-blank? Twice? Cold-blooded…
667: Wow, did Brownbeard actually get killed off on-screen? Fuck. New World doesn’t play around indeed.
God damn it, Franky. You dumb ass. You’re lucky that only moderately backfired.
Nice to know that Rayleigh taught Luffy more than just Haki-based despite not having his powers.
“Counter-shock”? Ye gds, just how much shit can Law do? Also, why did Scotch’s eye “crack” from that?
And with that, we end Chapter 667 with Law making his “I’m sexy and I know it” face of course. Hunh. That only took about an hour and a half, even with distractions. So good. Tempted to do this all the time, but then I don’t get to destroy your guys’ eyes with walls of texts.
Decisions decisions…

Glad to see you back, with a monster blob of text.

It’s a Trinity, with the final one in a dark silhouette- waiting to be revealed.
Actually it’s based on an “Operating Room” hence the surgical terminology and his “Doctor Death” moniker.
Take a closer look at the silhouette. Scotch wears a gas mask.
(I still think that Disguise Fruit probably has some busted aspect to it, even if it’s nowhere near Law’s abilities.)
Oh, hunh. You’re right. It’s pretty apparent on page 16 of Chapter 667. I guess I just thought the Yeti Brothers had dog faces or something given how weird they already are. Kinda helps explain how Zoro and co got taken out so quickly…
Meh. It’s probably someone white, like it almost always is. [/cynical racism] [/atheism]
Ah, I suspected and that certainly makes more sense than “Remodeling” with that name.
So basically Law’s powers are Trauma Center: Under the Brokenness. Seems apt.
Thus far, the only “weakness” of the power besides needing to be in the room seems to be that whatever he does to you is invariably non-fatal, though that’s arguably not a weakness.
Newchap is out on MangaPanda…
Luffy is a BAWSE…o he doesn’t do anything awesome, but his confidence is WHOA.
I really like how bad ass Tashigi looks while she’s “possessed” by Smoker. Too bad she can’t be like this all the time.
Did Robin put all her arms together to form those wings or did she legitimately create wings? Either way that is awesome.
It’s also out on mangastream for, of course, a limited time.
Honestly I don’t even know what happened on that page <_<
You aren’t alone. :xeye:
Fuck Law’s power is indeed broken. Ain’t no way to accurately get all that shit into a fighting game.
Luffy on his standard plan, the “I ama knock down the front door and take your shit” method.
Those should be her arms or hands, although for a second I thought it was that girl Monet, until I remembered Robin been had that ability and looked closer.
Laws power could work in a video game think it would just have to be 3d ala mvc3 or some type of mvc3 powerstone hybrid like anarchy reigns
Oda is seriously taking this opportunity to make his girls smoke
Kind of an inbetween chapter, this one.
Team BoneKickChop:
[details=Spoiler]They actually did a pretty good job of explaining how Nami!Sanji, Zoro and Brooke had apparently been one-shot. It made sense in context for the Cool Story Bros., while not making that particular trio look weak.
And hey! Nami!Sanji can still kick ass.[/details]
Team GomaBotFleur:
Took me a couple of tries to suss what exactly happened in that semifinal page. Basically, ballooned-up Luffy bounces in with Franky and Robin riding him. Robin makes arm-wings to break her fall, while Franky doesn’t care 'cause it takes more than a fall (through a ship, no less) to hurt him. And there’s Luffy being Luffy.
Be sure to peek at the MangaStream translation as well. MangaPanda’s is okay as usual (and up the fastest), but they mix up a few word bubbles, and use a little more awkward sentence structuring.

Name ost at 5:30 please.
(I must admit that I somehow managed to already forget about the Slime between the last chapter and this one until its shadow appeared.)
Speaking of which, I just realized something in vaguely wondering if Aokiji might join the crew later on (even though Jinbei’s already locked in as the tenth and final member probably): Brooke is basically Aokiji Lite for the Strawhats already.
His underworld abilities basically allow him to freeze people. He’s the only Strawhat devil fruit member that can run on water. He can basically take more damage than half of them due to being only bones & milk healing his injuries (unless they’re to his hair). He has faux invulnerability now due to being able to detach his spirit like Perona. Hell, he was even ambiguously brown to Aokiji’s present-day blackness. Makes Aokiji seem semi-redundant if Luffy would even think of offering.
I’ll laugh like hell if she and Smoker are stuck like that for longer than this arc, as unlikely as that is, given how spiteful Law seems like he can be.
Regardless, she’s going to be hacking up a storm even with as much as she hangs around Smoker once things are back to normal. At least Sanji’s trying not to smoke. Seems like the first thing Smoker did in her body was light a cigar. Asshole.
Not sure what you’re asking here or, rather, how the questions differ. Do you mean did she form wings to fly? If so, then no, probably not. She just used her power to form wings that were most likely used to glide to ground ala Gargoyles as she jumped off Luffy before he and Franky crashed into the deck like how T20Thoughts pointed out already. Robin’s still pretty fragile despite making her powers even more broken. “Normal” woman strength after all.
Nah. Law still seems like he’d be incredibly broken in that case if his powers were faithfully translated since within his room his powers basically seem unblockable unless you’re a Logia, which is probably one of the reasons that he can’t just instantly take Caesar down himself even if Law has Haki.
Yeah I can totally relate why someone of Law’s logical mindset would be confounded by Luffy’s recklessness. Being brash isn’t for everyone.
I think the reason why law can’t face Caesar might not be strength based, Clown might’ve done something to his crew, possesses secret knowledge or he needs his expertise for something.
I like the situation with Zoro and co., and yes it made sense.
Robin has made her “Mil Fleur” wings on a few occasions, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen true flight in that form. She’s improved to the point where I thought it was Monet for a sec.
(I literally just realized something while in the shower about 25 minutes ago.)
Buggy’s powers should actually counter most, if not all, of Law’s (basic) powers. That’s actually sort of hilarious.
The same should maybe apply for Berry Good/Very Good, except he’s immune to blunt force rather than cutting, so he’s at least feel the Law’s sword strikes unlike the original Mr. (the) Clown.
Yeah, that’s why I said “one of the reasons”. There’s obviously at least some other aspect beyond Caesar’s ethereal form and Law “needing” a hideout, though I somewhat doubt Caesar is the reason that his crew hasn’t shown up yet.
(Also, can we call him “Crown”? “Clown” seems wrong, especially with Buggy already existent.)
I’m surprised no one (here) has gushed about Zoro casually slicing an ice column in half right before he falls asleep mid-air.
It’s difficult to tell where she just glided or “flew” to the ground though. She’s definitely improved regardless.
