(I’d blame alerts for not, well, alerting me, but I haven’t been on SRK as much lately.)
Last time!: Vergo proves that despite all his power, he is genuinely a ditz and thus not Genre Savvy. Thus he made the fatal error of turning into a literal black man in what’s basically a sci-fi/fantasy setting and got cut in half by Law for his troubles. Law who has now dialed his sexiness awesomeness up to eleven by slicing the entire lab and surrounding mountains in one go. Meanwhile, Luffy finally punched Caesar’s lying face after S.A.D. was explained.
This time!: Caesar finally reveals his true colors to the rest of his subordinates, who like Brownbeard are at first in disbelief…until he gases with Shinokuni for the evulz after combining with the gas. Mansopp, meanwhile, helps to probably save everyone else who is stuck dealing with Law’s overwhelmingly bringing sexy back and letting Shinokuni in from everywhere. Meanwhile, Vergo is told to “stick around” after saying something cryptic and Luffy prepares to punch Caesar in the face harder.
Next time!..?: Caesar gets obliterated even more facially by a combination of Gears 2 & 3, which causes Shinokuni to become a non-issue or at least lesser & more easily dealt with issue for some reason. Meanwhile, there is some celebration as everyone else arrives before Baby 5 & Buffalo are shown touching down on the island.
So tune in next time! Same manga time, same manga channel!
Ha. I like how you separate these two paragraphs like an either or thing with all shippers, stupid “Die for Our Ship” and other drama aside. “OT3” and all that (bullshit).
It seems training with Mihawk on that relatively small island where no one but Zoro could possibly get lost probably heightened that “skill” as well. Now Zoro is basically Black Belt from 8-Bit Theater except he got accidental teleportation powers rather accidental “clone yourself temporally” powers.
Anime filler continues to be cute but fillery. I think they’re running out of villain laughs, though… This dude’s basically throat-gargling every time he’s laughing, and he laughs often. “GRGLRGLRGLRGLRGL!”
There is one pretty awesome bit, though. Evil llama cannon go!
It isn’t a spoiler after last chapter but CC got bodied and everyone saw it, also Mansopp with the off panel beat down of multiple goons in the same amount of time Luffy’s attack… (starts slow clap).
I sort of want Baby 5 to meet up with Sanji right now.
It looks like we will see the General in action next chapter, I wonder how he will do.
[details=Spoiler]Franky encountering two of Joker’s underlings… That could go either way. I could see’em having a chat before fisticuffs happen, at least.
Franky VS Baby 5 + Buffalo is probably one of the more natural matchups I could think of. All mechanical stuff. Wonder if he can remote-control the General Franky to even the odds (or push them way over to his side). I could see Law interfering before they can take off with Caesar.
Also, Kinemon getting shinokuni’d guarantees that there’s a cure for it.[/details]
Luffy just keeps pissing off big-time players on the world stage. EVERYBODY just saw him KO Caesar… Underworld bosses, Marine officials, etc… Not that he gives any fucks, but he really doesn’t need anymore enemies right now, especially now that his alliance with Law is in danger of being voided.
I was wondering where Franky had ran off to. At the very least, he should be able to hold Buffalo and Baby 5 off until backup arrives.
And Usopp with that off-panel beatdown of all those mooks… You’ve come a long way, long-nose.
Regarding Doflamingo’s minions, why do I get the feeling the Rule 34 crowd is gonna have a field day with Baby 5’s character flaw? Also, once I read the name of that Buffalo guy’s devil fruit, I immediately thought of Bentham (Bon Clay) and how much fun he would have with that ability.
Law is angry that Luffy screwed up the plan, but it’s okay… Luffy has a big box of fuck he’d like to give, except it’s empty.
This was a fun Chapter! Been waiting for everyone to gather, been waiting on Franky though…but overall Fun chapter. I also loved how the underworld had different reactions to CC getting blown away. It’s a shame that there was no cover story, (wanted to know what happened to Caribou.) but the color spread was nice too.
Baby 5 lookin like she about to fuck shit up.
So basically her fruit looks like it allows her to either make weapons or turn herself into a weapon. Geez she’s looking like a good fight; hopefully her personality won’t hinder that.
Seems obvious in retrospect that Franky, a man who turned himself into a weapon, would fight a woman who can change any part of her body into a weapon.
Baby 5’s Weapon Weapon Fruit is a neat concept, and it’s so ambiguous Oda has the freedom to do whatever he wants with it…
Here’s My Sunday’s Best! PROTON CANNON!!!
Yeah if she fights with Franky it’ll be a memorable fight sequence.****
You know who had a lot of potential, but just wasn’t strong enough? Mr. 5 Who had the Bomb Bomb Fruit. The ability to turn even nose snot and air into an explosive was pretty baller, it’s a shame Mr.5 wasn’t strong enough to make it as destructive as it could’ve been…
Anybody else found it interesting how the effects of Shinokuni were creeping up on Luffy’s arms when Grizzly Magnum connected, but didn’t stay permanently? Luffy’s poison immunity + Haki?
