One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

You are going to need to read the mangastream translation that is a lot more clearer.

Joker and other spoilers

[details=Spoiler] I am going to here this everytime I hear Doflamingo get called by the name Joker.

That and I give Vergo props, he was right, for Smoker to be working with dude that walks around with hamburger on his face, apparently on the regular with his food, for who knows how long, Vergo must have kept his guard up pretty well.

Law being a former minion of Doflamingo makes some sense given outside of X Drake and Hawkins’ predictions, he knew much more of what was going on then the other supernovas.

At least with the kids no longer needing Nami and Usopp to babysit them while they go through withdrawal, that will hopefully, set up Usopp vs Slime, since he and Nami maybe the only members of the crew that could take on that monstrosity.

doflamingo answers to shiki

Fringe Theory #.21349238: Actually I have a sinking feeling that Doflamingo might really be in league with…

[Spoiler=]The Devil! [/spoiler]

So apparently Vergo has an eating disorder…

(Eating disorder? How so? It just seems like ā€œabsent-minded when it comes to food stuck on his faceā€ seems to be his quirk since almost everyone in One Piece has one.)

What even happened with Shiki with regards to that Strong World movie and being canon in the manga before that? Does Strong World actually count as canon or…? The wiki doesn’t clear that up.

You probably know this already by now, but it’s just poison gas that ā€œateā€ an axolotl fruit, not an axolotl that at a poison gas Logia; I say Logia because there’s no way it could be that big, change form and divide itself with just Paramecia powers. (Also, a poison gas Paramecia would be utterly redundant and inferior to Magellan’s powers.)

It did confuse me too, considering how it was worded, though that might only because it’s the only Sara-Sara Model or the original one. I was admittedly kinda distracted by a freaking axolotl being used…anywhere since the name sounded vaguely familiar, but I’ve seen it used or talked about so rarely that I couldn’t put the (ugly cute) face to it.

Still kinda weirded out that its primarily aquatic as well. One of that means we’ll see someone with a fearsome fish zoan.

ā€œTremble before my incredible sinking prowess!ā€

Ironically, that fruit would still have the ā€œbenefitā€ of maybe not drowning (if you didn’t mind starving to death or being eaten or whatever instead).

So the identity of ā€œJokerā€ has been revealed…

I was actually expecting a new character altogether, though Doflamingo is always welcome. It’s been two years, I wonder if he still says cryptic things that border on 4th-wall-breaking?

At first, I actually thought it was a translation error as well, but seeing how the salamander was in a completely gelatinous form for the past few chapters it looked as if the former could be true. I guess the regenerative powers of the salamander explains all this.

An aquatic animal Zoan doesn’t surprise me, since even a Shark/Octopus/Whale/Seal Zoan User on land (anthro-form) can probably act as a faux-Fishman.

A water Logia on the other hand would be hard to imagine. (even the liquid Logia chick in that movie wasn’t technically water)

Wheee!

Better everything…

Caesar is pretty broken, but at least it is clear now why everyone was grabbing their chest. No air! (Caesar does not have King Haki and has not demonstrated use of any Haki as of yet)

Caesar’s face on page 13…:lol:

Final page…oh snap.

Final page so hypeee

Its been pretty foreshdowed that haki was going to be the key difference in this arc - they made a point of showcasing that being a Logia don’t mean SHIT in the scheme of things due to the New World’s use of haki - and no one on the SH is a logia…so its something that was IMO to be foreshadowing for CC…this was pointed out moreso by Luffy outright SAYING that Sanji and Zorro were haki users.

Spoiler

Kid?

Seriously?!

How many players are gonna get in on this shit?!

Spoiler

I noticed Pekoms and Dr. Robotnik watching the broadcast made by Cesar (spelling based on Cesar Romero’s name). There were also two other guys, one of them with an afro and another one looked like a female swordsman.

New World is, indeed, getting more and more hype!

Spoiler

I wonder how many Supernovas went to the dark side

(Uh, I’m pretty sure that none of the Supernovas were on the ā€œlight sideā€ to begin with except for maybe Drake X who saw how corrupt the Marines were. Maybe Basil, but he seems more like ā€œTrue Neutralā€ from what little we’ve seen of him so far.)

Ah, so Caesar is even more broken than I thought even without (maybe) being able to generate plasma. Considering how easily he put out that fire, I have to wonder if this is something else that would be Mera Mera no Mi. I swear, Ace just gets shittier and shittier in hindsight. At least Smoker’s managed shit on panel. Hell, even Caribou did…

Lol

Spoiler

I literally chuckled when Brownbeard’s stubborn arse revealed he was still alive. I’m not sure why I was even moderately surprised. Poor bastard just doesn’t know how to die. I wonder how horribly Basil beat him before the whole ā€œcutting off legsā€ thing happened…

Hunh, that perhaps explains why I think the axolotl is cute.

Yeah, there’s unlikely to be a Water Logia, at least any time before the end of the manga considering how broken it would it be, even among Logia.

Aquatic animal Zoans seem like they would be extremely shitty, though, even with the ā€œfaux fishmanā€ aspect. I highly doubt they exist or, if they do, then they’ll maybe have some weird exemption, not necessarily to moving in water, but to…something. Zoans still have enough stigma as it is.

Aw man, another extended wait for a chapter?! le sigh

[Spoiler=] I like the arms dealer angle Caesar and co. no have. It’s interesting how Virgo’sm sole purpose was making sure everything went according to plan. I wonder who the afro dude and silhouetted swordsman are? I have a feeling the swordsman could possibly be a familiar face…[/Spoiler]

Caesar’s powers are only limited by the imagination, such a broken fruit.

(I’ll laugh if Caesar ends up having some weaksauce weakness we didn’t see.)

It might just be me, but I got the impression that silhouetted swordsman was…

Not sure why I’m bothering using spoilers

Spoiler

Basil Hawkins given the hair.

I thought so myself.

I hope Caesar’s weakness is Fuusen related.

Another week off oda? Dude is lazy as hell.
