WAIT WAIT. Kuina is dead? I always thought she was missing or some shit, not confirmed dead. If that’s the case, what is Tageshii’s deal?
Zoro should own this guy, even underwater. Powerups and timeskip mean the straw hats should steamroll for a little while.
I got a feeling the whole point of putting him underwater against Hodi is to keep him from totally steamrolling. Oda may not want to show off their full potential so soon, so handicapping Zoro seems like a good idea to create some anticipation for his next battle.
Luffy probably won’t even fight Decken, I’ll bet Sanji gives him the beatdown himself for trying to kill Shirahoshi. Luffy could possibly sit out all the action with these two just to highlight the progression of the crew as a whole.
She’s always been dead bro. She fell down a flight of stairs, and died… in a manga where people can get blown up by a mile-wide explosion, electrified with 100 million volts and knocked through hundreds of feet of solid bedrock and live.
ONE PIECE! :bgrin:
I agree.* Zoro can’t open that second eye just yet, although I’m sure he’s going to reveal some of the tricks he’s learned next chapter. HYPE! >_<!
*The whole doping aspect of Hodi kind of randomizes the whole battle though, Zoro might bleed a little (only 2 gallons max) sending Hodi into a feeding frenzy!
I disagree. Luffy is definitely going to fight Decken once Decken fully reveals his plans and tells Luffy how he’s responsible for shanking up Hachi! Oh yes, bring the pain Luffy!!! :mad:
You may be right.
I can still see Decken running into the other half of the crew and Sanji giving Luffy the “Leave this to me, there’s no way I can forgive him!” speech. Plus, somebody has to get Shirahoshi away safely, and I don’t think that’ll be quite as easy for Sanji or Chopper to do since Sanji would bleed to death. Decken wouldn’t hesitate to chuck random objects at her in the middle of fighting Luffy either. Strategically I’d think it’s best to let Sanji deal with him, at least initially.
Still neither of the two are the most rational thinkers so who knows.
With Shirahoshi in full display behind him and no way for Chopper to stop him from taking peak, anyone else think this is a set up to reveal Sanji’s newkama blood transfusion has changed him so he isn’t so apt to bleed out?
I like Zoro over Hodi in a steamroll. Side bets anyone?
That would really bum him out lol. It’s like seeing a hot chick who wants to bang you and not getting a woody on command.
Hodi has been kind of well-developed, so it’d be weord to see him completely steamrolled. I think Zoro will own initially due to Hodi underestimating him, but like I said before, the roid factor makes things a bit “fishy”.
lol is zoro really gonna hold his breath the whole fight?!
(Hey, a rafflesia reference. Neato.)
Yeah, I can’t see Zoro beating Hodi, at least underwater AND with roids. I can see him beating the shit out of him before then, but Zoro is already on a timer since he has to hold his breath unless that closed eye of his was replaced with an Underwater Materia and he’s just making a funny face.
He’ll probably have to be saved by Nami, who looked pissed off because she pulled her infamous vanishing act.
There’s been suspicions that she isn’t actually dead (and there will be continue to be suspicions that she isn’t dead even though it’s her grave and all) due to a)very few people dying in this manga and b)it being such a lame/mundane death, however typical it would seem for a woman to mean her end on a set of stairs. [/Roninchaos]
Tageshii just happens to look a lot like her and act rather similar, which is why it makes Zoro so damn uncomfortable to be around her. They’re (probably) not the same person unless she has massive amnesia AND is some type of sleeper agent for Dragon or something instead of the Navy. That seems…unlikely.
Basically. I can’t imagine everyone showing everything they can do already. I be surprised if they had to or got to all out before meeting another Yonkou or one of the Rookie’s that are still alive or one of the highest Navy officials.
Possible. Before the detour to see check on Hachi, I was under the impression that we were going to see Jinbe kick Decken’s ass. Looks like they probably won’t even get that far before Decken catches up them.
You mean that Sanji might have contacted…“the gay”?
gasp
As silly an idea as that seems, I could see that happening just because it’s One Piece. That and I already kind of expected it to happen ever since he landed on the Okama island, but seems like he’s the only Straw Hat who kind of got an added weakness from his “ordeal”.
(I’m still expecting Robin to run into Caribou for some reason.)
i doubt sanji would turn gay…mainly due to that weird wacky law japan passed.
I have to wonder where Hodi’s hencemen are now that I think about it. Well, I mean, the non-disposable ones like Zeo and such.
I didn’t mean “turn gay” literally; just not fucking bleed every time he sees a woman. I should have said “turn asexual” since that’s a superior choice to any type of sexuality.
Now, dare I ask what you’re talking about? (Please on respond if you can link to what you’re talking about.)
am i the only one who wants zoro to one shot hodi
basically from what i understand the leaders of japan think anime/manga has gotten to freaky…even though i believe the prime minister or something wrote some erotic novels. Their against homosexuality and anything they feel hinders the growth of youth and so were basically passing a law to stop anything they felt would do so. i cant find the article on anime news sites…only the forums. if i come across a more legit site ill post it…it was discussed alot in the anime thread.
no you aint (they should be AT LEAST that strong now, right?). also even mihawk acknowledged the sword guy so will i, funny how most of you write him off just like that.
and i dont think zoro is blind under that scar. hes probably got some super sharingan style shit under it, like sasukes new eye after implanting itachis.
I hope is isn’t some Mihawk-esque eye. I want it to be his own. Maybe some demon eye shit
Tiger Eyes!!!
Kaku once mentioned that he displayed the “Eyes of Samomensomethingandanother” right before doing Asura, so it would be cool if that was a foreshadowing.
I forgot to mention this, I love Oda’s references. I wonder if he’ll do a durian bomb as well.
As for Tashigi, I think her existence was just to create a slight love interest without the burdening commitment (this is shonen after all). Zoro is a man solely concentrated on become the World’s Greatest Swordsman, so Tashigi is the only woman who would slightly interest him due to the past tie-ins.
How glad I am that most of the posters here were wrong about Jimbei dying in the 2 year gap. However, I don’t know if he’ll survive this ‘war’. Jimbei dying a Fishman hero seems really plausible and fitting. He was the one who started the Fishman pirates(then entrusted it to Arlong) and will be the one who ended them.
A Durian bomb would be overkill, it would literally be a “hissatsu” attack.
Zoro will definitely have a short fight with Hodi before being interrupted/forcibly removed by someone just as Hodi roids up. Saves the dignity of both characters without showing off too much.
If Zoro ends up having a “Hawkeye”…:mad:
I concur, it would be a bit contrived. i wouldn’t be surprised if his “blind” eye does have some special ability or characteristic.
i totally expect a zoro style sharigan.
