Inverted Spinning Bird?
The Inevitable
[details=Spoiler] So we all know it is going to come down to it, what do you all think pushes the inevitable Zoro vs Kinemon fight?
Mind control, blackmail, grief? [/details]
Not so inevitable
[details=Spoiler] I donât see why âhas a swordâ = âZoro must fight himâ. The mangaâs been mixing up fight expectations lately. Usopp didnât fight Van Der Decken, Sanji didnât fight âomg dried octopusâ Much.
I could see him going âI still havenât quite got the fire-slashing trick⊠Hit me with it until I know it!â before the end. Sparring to learn.[/details]
Upcoming matchups
[details=Spoiler]
Seems weâre going to get some more concentrated fights, unless our bad guys are so powerful that each of them takes on one group. Thatâd be funny. As it is, though, looks like weâll get Smoker, Luffy, Law and Robin in one room versus CC, Vergo and Monet.
Matchups might switch around a little, but the natural fighting would be Luffy VS CC, Smoker VS Vergo, Robin VS Monet. CCâs too easily distracted by Luffy to manage to do all that much to Smokerâs heart, though he still might cause some trouble now and then that way. Vergoâs likely to be keeping Law from hax0ring up everything, though.[/details]
Preach Papa Zoro PREACH! Zoro flexing his status as the right arm of Luffy.
UFO Sighting
[details=Spoiler] I think that Zoro v. Kinemon duel will be the âcherry on topâ after major conflicts are over. Zoro has expressed interest in fighting a samurai for a while now, and he wonât be leaving without a fight.
Gomu Gomu No UFO is hilarious, but at least now Luffy can faux-fly like I hoped he would. I have a feeling Luffy might use compressed air tactics against Clown the next time they meet.
BTW, is anyone else more excited about Smoker versus Vergo than Luffy versus Caesar?[/details]
re: UFO Sighting
[details=Spoiler] As much as I dislike Smoker, I actually do want to see his fight with Vergo. I want to see Vergo on some hardcore Haki usage, although most likely he will reveal some sort of Devil Fruit power, Iâd still prefer to see what he brings to the table.
Luffy vs CC, is surprisingly my third desired fight in the ones I expect to see before this arc ends. [/details]
Interesting. This is actually one of the times where I prefer the MangaPanda translation over the Mangastream one. Thereâs just more info there, even with the weird âstray hatâ thing.
http://www.mangastream.com/read/one_piece/40339836/end <==Hereâs a much better translation from Mangastream!
Spoiler
In this chapter, Luffy defies the laws of physics, then performs Metalheadâs spin kick from Turtles in Time!
Yeah, the Mangastream copy was pretty bad this week too. I am disappoint.
Fuusen + gear third = unlimited oxygen?
Reading the Manga from the beginning to kill time I think Odaâs plan for Zoro is to make him into a elemental swordsman.
- When he fights Mihawk for the first time he says his Ultimate Attack is âTri Element Attackâ. I know the translation of earlier mangas is a bit off but it gets me thinking of Zoro will be a Multi Element Swordsman seeing as how he liked the Samuraiâs Fire Sword technique in todayâs current arc.
- http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_piece/v15/c126/10.html When he beats Mr.5 for the last time âFire Swords arenât that bad.â
Would be cool if Zoro had an element for each of his swords. Fire is hinting to be his first element. Zoro confirmed for 3/4th avatar
I donât agree. Zoro is interested in cutting flames, not using them.
After the time skip, it seems most of the crew came back with elementally themed abilities. Ussop is Grass Type, Chopper is Ground Type, Brooke is Ice type, Sanji is already your Fire type, etc etc.
Franky is god type.
PokĂ©hats! Gotta catchâem all!
Brooke is also Ghost, yâknow. Franky is Metal/Electric. Nami is Water/Electric. Not sure how youâd categorize Robin. Maybe Psychic.
Luffy? Fighting-type. Duh.
Technically, Zoro used flames before the time skip, when he cut down Ryuma and the zombie ignited in fire afterward.
I havenât bought the Season Four Voyage One boxset, but is it true that FUNimation didnât dub the fifth opening? I searched all over Youtube and I canât find anything suggesting that they did.
New chapter is out, yâall. Available on Panda and Reader.
Echoes of Zoro in the candle trap back during the fight against Mr. 3. If youâre going to die (probably not for real in this case, unless this is a REAL case of changing the One Piece rules for the new world), you might as well go out with a cool pose.
Tashigi canât catch a break. :sad:
Kinda boring chapter, translation seemed kinda iffy on both mangapanda and mangastream imo.
this arc looks good but its pacing is slow as fuck. Escape already please.
Agreed, but I did like Vergo forgetting that he isnât a swordsman.
The guy on the far left giving the double âVictoryâ sign cracked me up and made me kinda sad at the same time. Those Inglorious Bastards really love their lil Captain-Chan.
Also, nice block by Tashigi, too. Why did Zoro call her a cheater?
