Where They Are & Why Kuma Threw Them There

[bittman]

How come people are still predicting Zoro is there to train when some ominous shadow was bearing down on him? I expect Zoro to return with new damage or something given the sillouette with the sword coming at him. A bit disappointing actually since I was just hoping he'd fully recover. We haven't seen a fully recovered Zoro since his initial fight with Kuma (like 100 chapters ago?)

I agree with evozoku on Zoro's matter. This could probably be Mihawk's homeland Dracula or Transilvania or something. Would be cool, but the only thing I have with this is that Mihawk wears a kimono in chapter 0, but the transilvanian style is more fitting to his current look. Maybe it isn't a kimono after all.
Plus I think Mihawk has the vampire vampire fruit, whatever zoan or paramecia. Expect a flying bat soon

I thought that Moria and the shadow/mirror image stealing was Oda's vampire reference? Mihawk has a cross (protection against vampires) theme, so if he comes from the same part of the world as Moria, he would more fit as a vampire hunter.

About Brook : I just notice that the enemies of the village where he landed have all the same kind of arms as Apoo (the Supernova Captain musician). For me it seems obvious that Brook is here to improve his music strikes, more than the swordskill.

edit : just notice that Luffy is the only one who left the island...without learning anything (yeah he saw Haki but he didn't care....Poor Kuma ><)

While I know and agree with most of what you guys said, I'm more concerned as to why Kuma sent them away, besides making them possibly stronger? Is it because he gauged their abilities as not being entirely ready for the New World? But again, why? Why was he willing to help the SH's? My only guess is that he was around during Roger's time and he noticed a similarity between them, in which he felt a soft spot for them.

As for Luffy not learning anything... I'm sure it will after the war.

Kuma compared Luffy with Dragon and Iva is an old friend. We also knows that he hates the WG. He just understood that Luffy is Dragon son and that he arrived a little too soon for the New World so he helped him without being accused of treason by the WG.

It's been confirmed for a while. I remember the first MH member to tell us about that was zerocooldx.

Well I found myself too lazy to read all the pages so I read quickly the three first pages and the three last pages.

I did not mean to offend you, sorry. Just to say you're right and that's confirmed.
