Chapter 470 is out in the RTS, grab it

After you guys done drooling over the chapter... come on here to predict what will happened next in another chapter of the Thriller Bark arc

Predict away guys

[shibigoku]

I wouldn't like it if Oz was defeated due to Moria being knocked out by Luffy. I want the Strawhats to defeat Oz without their captain and after that Moria gets a beating.

[matrice]

Next chapter will be Luffy vs Oz/Moria: they seems to be the only ones who are still standing. The arc is going to end soon, since much of the crew is fainted. I think he will kick Moria's ass, since fighting Oz seems out of the question. The fact that Moria is escaping is unimportant: he is a slow fat-ass, and Luffy can just stretch his arms to reach him, or use gear 2. I really would like to see Moria's face when he will see taht speed, or better seein gear 3 and the giant Luffy (if they fight Luffy will finish the work with the move where he send up his foot and then he smashes it on the enemy on the ground, but all has to be done with the giant foot, in gear 3 mode).

[Imitorar]

I think that Moria will end up calling Oz to defeat Luffy, or some other way of Luffy fighting Oz. They'll fight, which will be awesome, because Luffy will have to fight a more powerful version of himself. Plus, if that happens, we'll probably get to see Gear 3rd, which didn't get enough page-time during Enies Lobby, so it would be nice to see it used a bit here. Then Luffy will defeat Oz, and Moria will be so afraid of Luffy that he'll release the shadows. Luffy will probably then punch Moria out because he's a colossal, spineless, manipulative jerk. The other Straw Hats are done, I think. Ussop, Chopper, Robin, Sanji, and Zoro already had their fights, and I don't think Brook and Franky
will get one. Nami will wake up and will have to fight off Absalom and yes, probably Lola. I didn't think that would happen, but I also didn't think that Sanji would be defeated by Oz, so that's why. It's too bad, though. I would have liked Franky to get a good fight, it's only his second arc in the series. (Brook DID have a fight already, by the way. He just didn't win it.) And Robin hasn't fought since Skypieia, so I would have liked to see her do more then act as a strait-jacket in this arc. But the situation may yet change and Franky and Robin and maybe even some of the other Straw Hats will get to fight more. I'm not holding my breath about that, though.

predictions:

Luffy will *try* to find Moria.
Oz will somehow interrupt.
The fight will now become Luffy vs. Oz

We might see some of Nami, and maybe Absalom as well as Lola

I doubt the rest of the SH crew can stand back up yet, but really, they don't have a chance, although Zoro was pretty good to have cut off his tooth.

[purplerose_04]

hmm i'm hoping the Strawhats will get up and beat Oz, I kinda dun want Luffy to defeat him, but i definitely don't Luffy to defeat Moria first because if that is the case then it kinda suck. well.. maybe Luffy could save Nami first then beat up Moria because it will be bad that she disappear for a long time..

[UchihaMadara]

I Think they will probably all end up scrambling in the next chapter to find alot of salt to take Oz down with. I think it would be ironic if oz did something like

Oz: GEAR THIRD.
Oz: Behold my arm is the arm of a giant!
Ussop: You bastard your arm was always the size of a giant.

Its quite possible that Luffy and Moria wont actually fight much at all since Moria seems to be a "Strength in numbers" kinda guy and actual fighting doesnt seem like his strong suit which is why he runs alot. Maybe Oz is all that Luffy has to take down which would seem easy since hes so large he cant dodge any of gear 3's techniques.

Either way Absalom and Hogback need to be dealt with in the near future.

[otaclub_87]

my prediction :

the Strawhats except luffy are going to handle Oz, its true they are beaten up now.but its just not the end..i believe that they will somehow do the super combo together (waiting for nami to wake up too maybe)..i would like to see that..imagine the zorro-sanji-usopp-chopper-nami-robin-franky-brook COMBO kick Oz's ass

and luffy will absolutely defeat moria.

[puma]

I believe that the arc has been prolonged enough. I wish to see the rest of the gang fight oz while luffy takes care of Moira. So the arc can end and we move on to another interesting one.

[Impel Down]

I hope they move on to Moria v. Luffy next, because we've had like 1/2 a chapter of it, and there really can't be much more development with Mugiwaras v. Oz, it seems, unless Brook starts kickin' ass, in which case, absolutely.

[Imitorar]

Yes, it's time for a chapter or 2 of solid Luffy vs. Moria, with maybe a page or 2 for what's going on with Oz and the other Straw Hats, and Nami and Absalom. By the way, has anybody else noticed that the Straw Hats are starting to use a lot more combo attacks? The 600,000,000 Jackpot? The Robi-Cho Superplex? I think that now that the crew has 8 people, (nine if Brook joins) all with very diverse fighting styles, Oda-sensei is going to start mix-and-matching to create a bunch of combo's for groups of Straw Hats. There will be some for two at a time, for three at a time, or 5 at a time, and stuff like that, and they'll all vary based on who the people doing the combo are. There are a lot of combinations, and I hope this tendency continues, because it will make the fights where there are multiple Straw Hats at the battle field alot more interesting.

[Akainu]

As the Strawhats all seem to be beaten by Oz except of Nami who is still away with Absalom and Luffy who is chasing Moria the onslaught will stop for a moment.
Oz is a moron like Luffy is one. Thus he thinks he won there and goes on with his rampage searching for Nami (the last wanted one he could beat without killing himself. btw.: i think moria orderd Oz to fight the crew not the captain, did anyone understand it the same way?).
As Oz is about to harm Nami, Absalom could be changing sides at least fighting for his own interest more than for others...
And honestly, isnt Nami the only one who can beat Oz? Strength and so on cant do as we saw last chapter so its got to be brainpower and trick.

It would be awesome...

agree..
this thoughts comes in my mind too.
remember how nami trick lola?
i think this could be the only way to handle Oz, cause with that supreme power, that even luffy himself couldn't possibly handle.

so the only way is using brain and trick.and nami is the perfect person

[Usoppking]

Does anyone else get the feeling that Nami is maybe faking being asleep? I think that she is, and by doing so she's gonna locate the ship's Treasure Room.
