Well after my break last week from such a great chapter its back to normal reviewing.
Well after last weeks excessive damage to the pirates it seems like the cp9 have done their bit and have done what was needed, let the celebrations begin.
Well back to the chapter and after a long run of high tempo epic chapters last week’s chapter marked a change, but after so many of these fighting chapters and with the how to escape for 3 days a change was expected.
Well after the last chapter and the strawhats gone many questions were in the air. Oda using this chapter has quite of lot of these questions answered. I believe after reading this chapter all the parts before luffy and his flying are the aftermath just after kuma did what he did. Well duvals crew members are all on the ship and occupying it knowing that it could easily fall into enemies hands. The ships looking as good as ever and I have to say I think it’s a bit too big for a crew of 9/10. I have mentioned on this fourm and on others that I believe with the splitting up of the crew like this, on their way back each crew member may pick up a member or 2 to help travel back. Well that was my theory from last week and I’ll talk about that in more detail later.
While duval’s crew is keeping the ship safe it’s great to hear that the marines haven’t tried to cover up what happened with kuma and say the strawhats were disposed off. It also confirms that kuma’s decision has been more beneficial to the crew than it was to the marines the nobles reactions to the news that the crew still haven’t been caught is what makes it more funny, after just one punch and getting sat on they are still out cold hahaha.
Shakky’s message is by far the most interesting in this chapter, its so ambiguous, we know that the crew as a whole need to get stronger, but not just individual, like the top 3 get powered up while the rest stay relatively similar, they need to get stronger as a crew and as I’ve always thought a crew of 10 wouldn’t be useful to their cause especially with a new larger ship like their own.
Lately the crew have come across enemies of high strength in high numbers, it all started with the ennies lobby’s buster call, if it wasn’t for the merry go, do you think the crew of 7 without luffy could defeat 9 ships and 5 vice admirals, then to tb, far more subtle but it was 3 main fighters, odz, moria, and kuma. If they attacked all at the same time could the crew manage, no? Now we got this arc and the crew is yet faced with people of high power and strength but this time we had the px bots with the real kuma, vegapunks bodyguard and kizaru. Take luffy, Zoro, and sanji out of the equation and we see that without these 3 the crew would be completely helpless without them taking out the higher stronger people, they couldn’t take on a px bot without the top 3. Maybe its time for a new person to join the top 3 of the crew in strength, but more than that maybe its time for the crew to gain a better boost in crew numbers than they have been getting lately and I seriously believe this splitting of the crew was that with them coming back they all need a bit of help, Zoro needs a navigator of some sort as well as someone who has a boat, luffy is the same, nami would only need a person with a boat and maybe another to guard her through the scary sea, same with ussop, what I’m trying to say is, I think oda split the crew up like this to boost the crews numbers by at the very least 9 more, with each crew member finding a friend on their travels back. With a bigger crew they can ride the upcoming wave smoothly. Well that’s my hope, another power up on their travels back is also very likely especially if the marines are waiting for their return. Also i do knpw luffy said 10 at the begining but Oda may have changed his mind, plus its a quick way to do itwithout adding more members on their travels throughout the second half of the grandline, after this quick boost of members we will be seeing a different story.
Luffy sleeping while flying was just so funny; in fact his whole flying session was completely hilarious. Imagine hearing a guy shouting in the sky while you were on your ship in the wild grandline. But it confirms what sentoumaru was saying and that kuma sends people flying for 3 days. It also now confirms that this crew have been sent in 9 different directions, and to get back, well I can’t imagine them all doing it alone.
Well with the landing it also shows us that kuma’s paw paw fruit does give a sort of softer landing that you could imagine, seems like the paw weakens the fall by quite a bit and the landing is more like jumping into the air and landing or being thrown into the air and landing, thus not making it an instant kill when landing. Good news for our other crew members without rubber bodies.
Well with this information is now confirmed that everyone will get back, but how is the thing. Luffy along with Zoro and others will end up having this sort of problem when using the cards and hit dead ends, but as I said earlier don’t be surprised if we get multiple crew members joining the strawhats.
What truly makes this chapter serious even with its comedy like luffy running from a giant wild boar, is the fact that he’s still haunted by his failure in SA, and as I thought when nami called out to Luffy that plagued his mind even more than anything else. Luffy don’t give up.
Well after his flashback and his failed attempt to break through the mountain luffy turns round and eats his wild boar attacker. I like how luffy isn’t brooding over his loss, constantly reverting back to his old self within seconds, but eating anything in front of him was one of luffy’s worse habits, well the good thing is it seems like luffy foolishness may have granted him with the appearance of his new crew members.
Well with luffy seemingly dying from his infestation of mushrooms he’s found by the residence of this weird strange island. Margret is one of many women on this island but the focus oda pulls on characters of importance is undeniable and the focus was on her. With the snake surrounding her body and her cape not forgetting the arrows she seems to be carrying around well I assume she’s a bow-women, ussop calling himself the sniper king it be nice to see the parralels between the two, it reminds me of brookes and I’m unsure if this was intentionally but Oda seems to be adding crew members with similar skills as previous ones but opposite personalities. I saw simularities within franky and Luffy, and then we get brookes and Zoro. Maybe this girl is the anti version of ussop, stronger, braver and maybe more skilled with the more deadly weapon.
Well after seeing some more women on this island it seems like they all have these weird snakes covering their bodies, what these snakes are used for or symbolise is anyone’s guess but maybe it’s a warrior thing. Funny how they coldly set luffy alight, is that how they treat children of their village after removing all the mushrooms, even though it’s the only way it’s kind of cold. But they make up for it with a nice bath. Heheheh
Now who wouldn’t want to get their bits pulled pulled on a island full of only naked and half naked women a yet another dream sanji has lost, first the invisible man now the island of women, unlucky sanji, I’m sure Oda won’t be putting you on an island just full of men. Yet more comedy in this chapter after the last run of serious chapters, funny, very funny and perverted Oda.
Well after a landing on an island 3 days travel away from SA luffy has found himself in what seems to be a deadly situation. Margret reaction to him being a man is extremely funny especially when we have her blushing too. This Warrior women island seems to have something against men on this island, but how they are born without men around I’ll never know. Luffy you need to wake up before they do something to you, and it may not be another bath.
Well I have to admit this chapter wasn’t what I was expecting, but I was already prepared for the idea of mini arcs for each crew member as well as the focus sticking with the crew, I like Oda reverting back to the comedy of one piece and keeping this chapter quite light.
My prediction
I believe each crew member will get about 2/3 chapters on each of their islands and leave, I think they will try to kick luffy off next chapter and Margret will defend luffy after hearing his story and maybe be expelled of the island too maybe with the bigger girl who was giving luffy the special bath.
Where each crew member is I have no clue but I wouldn’t be surprised if sanji’s on a man only island.
Also as I predicted last week I still think that each crew member will bring along one more maybe two new people to join the crew thus when arriving on SA the crew will have a 18 strong crew maybe more
i do hope that Zoro still gets his needed personal character development
Chapter Rating a nice 8 out of 10
Not too busy but with a fast pace, as long as he shows the other crew members off I’ll be pleased
Well that’s it, sorry that I didn’t review last weeks chapter to, hope you enjoyed this review.
Chapter 414
Well after last weeks excessive damage to the pirates it seems like the cp9 have done their bit and have done what was needed, let the celebrations begin.
Well back to the chapter and after a long run of high tempo epic chapters last week’s chapter marked a change, but after so many of these fighting chapters and with the how to escape for 3 days a change was expected.
Duval guarding the ship
Well after the last chapter and the strawhats gone many questions were in the air. Oda using this chapter has quite of lot of these questions answered. I believe after reading this chapter all the parts before luffy and his flying are the aftermath just after kuma did what he did. Well duvals crew members are all on the ship and occupying it knowing that it could easily fall into enemies hands.

The wave of change
Shakky’s message is by far the most interesting in this chapter, its so ambiguous, we know that the crew as a whole need to get stronger, but not just individual, like the top 3 get powered up while the rest stay relatively similar, they need to get stronger as a crew and as I’ve always thought a crew of 10 wouldn’t be useful to their cause especially with a new larger ship like their own.
Lately the crew have come across enemies of high strength in high numbers, it all started with the ennies lobby’s buster call, if it wasn’t for the merry go, do you think the crew of 7 without luffy could defeat 9 ships and 5 vice admirals, then to tb, far more subtle but it was 3 main fighters, odz, moria, and kuma. If they attacked all at the same time could the crew manage, no?

That’s something I wanna try
Luffy sleeping while flying was just so funny; in fact his whole flying session was completely hilarious. Imagine hearing a guy shouting in the sky while you were on your ship in the wild grandline. But it confirms what sentoumaru was saying and that kuma sends people flying for 3 days. It also now confirms that this crew have been sent in 9 different directions, and to get back, well I can’t imagine them all doing it alone.

Good news for our other crew members without rubber bodies.
Everyone can return when you have a piece of paper in hand
Well with this information is now confirmed that everyone will get back, but how is the thing. Luffy along with Zoro and others will end up having this sort of problem when using the cards and hit dead ends, but as I said earlier don’t be surprised if we get multiple crew members joining the strawhats.

I like how luffy isn’t brooding over his loss, constantly reverting back to his old self within seconds, but eating anything in front of him was one of luffy’s worse habits, well the good thing is it seems like luffy foolishness may have granted him with the appearance of his new crew members.
Margret
Well with luffy seemingly dying from his infestation of mushrooms he’s found by the residence of this weird strange island. Margret is one of many women on this island but the focus oda pulls on characters of importance is undeniable and the focus was on her. With the snake surrounding her body and her cape not forgetting the arrows she seems to be carrying around well I assume she’s a bow-women, ussop calling himself the sniper king it be nice to see the parralels between the two, it reminds me of brookes and I’m unsure if this was intentionally but Oda seems to be adding crew members with similar skills as previous ones but opposite personalities.

Funny how they coldly set luffy alight, is that how they treat children of their village after removing all the mushrooms, even though it’s the only way it’s kind of cold. But they make up for it with a nice bath. Heheheh
What Sanji would do to be in Luffy’s position right now
Now who wouldn’t want to get their bits pulled pulled on a island full of only naked and half naked women a yet another dream sanji has lost, first the invisible man now the island of women, unlucky sanji, I’m sure Oda won’t be putting you on an island just full of men. Yet more comedy in this chapter after the last run of serious chapters, funny, very funny and perverted Oda.
The end
Well after a landing on an island 3 days travel away from SA luffy has found himself in what seems to be a deadly situation. Margret reaction to him being a man is extremely funny especially when we have her blushing too. This Warrior women island seems to have something against men on this island, but how they are born without men around I’ll never know. Luffy you need to wake up before they do something to you, and it may not be another bath.

i do hope that Zoro still gets his needed personal character development
Chapter Rating a nice 8 out of 10
