I thought it was more like "This might seem like a bad dream, but it's reality, so hang in there! Today is not a day of tragedy, the past 10 years were! Today, it'll all finally end. Have hope! The Strawhats, especially Luffy, can do this!". None of that is stating the obvious (to them). Making...
Re: One Piece Chapter 785 Spoiler Discussion
Another thing that hasn't been pointed out yet is that Franky apparently has a plan to help bring down the birdcage.
Re: One Piece Chapter 785 Spoiler Discussion
Nope. So far, the pattern for artificial devil fruits has been this:
The pattern on Burgess' bag is that of real ones.
Re: One Piece Chapter 785 Spoiler Discussion
Yea, noticed the pattern in the final spoilers close before the chapter came out.
Nobody knows what it's supposed to be so far.
But it was kind of obvious that Burgess was doing something behind the scenes.
I thought he'd probably know about some...
Re: One Piece Chapter 785 Spoiler Discussion
Oh! The chapter has a "20 minutes later" mini timeskip after DD reveals the awakening part.
So he wasn't immediately defeated, a part of the battle was just off-screened.
In that case, I have no complaints either way! :)
Great chapter!
Re: One Piece Chapter 785 Spoiler Discussion
Last page says that DD is out, that Luffy has dealt the final blow, apparently.
Seems a bit weird for him to showcase a new level of DF mastery and go down in the same chapter.
I really hope DD is just faking it.
Gear 2nd is steam engine based, Gear 3rd is balloon based. My best guess for Gear 4 was that it's air compression based. Pumping air into his limbs, then recompressing it with Haki. Releasing part of the compression would propel the limb at very high speed/power. Could tap into pneumatics...
I've been thinking a lot about Trebol lately. Many people seem to suspect that he might actually be the one pulling the strings. I don't think that's very likely. He seems so submissive to DD in a way that makes it seem unlikely to me that it could be an act (especially in this chapter)...
I don't know if Law's attack has been all that useless. DD is keeping up the cage and now he has to keep his organs stitched up as well. If nothing else, I think that's at least bound to make it harder for him to concentrate his powers on the actual battle.
Re: One Piece Chapter 781 Spoiler Discussion
So Law definitely won't be dying then. In that case, I really hope he gets his arm back. Being one-armed is cool for Shanks, as we kind of got to know him that way. I know it'd take me even longer to get over a one-armed Law than it took me to get...
What a brilliant idea! I think you might be onto something. The last panel uses a speech bubble that usually indicates a flashback, but at the same time the "!?" bubble is evidence against that. Your theory would explain the presence of both! Might I also add that this would be yet another...
Re: One Piece Chapter 780 Spoiler Discussion
Hm, that's interesting with Trebol still up there. I wonder what Oda could have planned for him.
I don't think Law is dead. Would seem too early for another traumatic event for Luffy.
But his arm could well be gone for good.
Oh, and of course it was...
I'm not sure how to respond to this. I have stated twice already now that my complaint is about this plot line not being split across two chapters. My complaint is not about the number of pages it got, and my complaint is also not about a lack of action in this chapter. Have I not been clear? My...
I think you misunderstand. (I've bolded the part that makes me think you do). My complaint is not that this part of the plot line didn't receive enough pages. It's that those pages weren't distributed across two chapters. It went from "Remember Leo's plot line? Here is why you should actually...
Wow, I haven't disliked a chapter so much in a long time. I simply don't think it works to build up all the suspense (Will Jora succeed in healing everybody?) and then relieve it during the same few pages. When it was revealed that Jora could potentially succeed in revitalizing most of the...
