tr1ckst3r said: Since it is written 'self-proclaimed', we could agree that he is not WB's son. Glad someone brought this up, exactly what I thought. The 'self-proclaimed' thing makes it all so dubious. They are most likely not Whitebeard's real family, but aside from the design, I am liking this Whitebeard Jr. after he said that he wanted to seek revenge for Whitebeard. That's a sign of naive(?) / good(?) kid right there. I also liked his interaction with his mama.
Barion-Zara said: Nice adventure-like chap. I feel the scent of adventure too in this chapter! I hope this arc doesn't get too serious / more laid back or adventurous. I can see the potential. The minkmen tribe intrigues me, but I reckon it's probably gonna go this way,
New enemies (Human) step foot in Zou -> Bully minkmen -> Luffy defeats new enemy -> minkmen come to find that not all humans are bad
One thing though, showing Weeble right before the Zou arc makes me think that there will be a clash between Luffy and co. with him within the Zou arc, which would probably make this a rather serious arc, but I hope not.
I wonder, what sort of power Weeble has, that Kizaru even said that "it is to be feared, just as Whitebeard in his younger days". Him actually thinking of going after Blackbeard solidify the fact that he is not one to be taken lightly.
Also hype to see Marco again, hopefully he comes relevant again soon.
Barion-Zara said: Can't wait for Luffy's legendary question. Does it poop?! Lol. Or, "Do you want to join my crew?" XD
I didn't really get a few things in this chapter,
1. Usopp said that he wanted to escape reality, but from what exactly? From entering Zou?
2. Someone said that judging from the back of Zou, it could be presumed that Sanji and co. has arrived on Zou, but what does that mean? Did Sanji do something to the elephant?
Arpit said: No more weird characters please. Just when the story was getting good, they introduced a ridiculous and weird shichibukai with ridiculously strong powers. Why can't Oda just introduce strong marines other than admirals instead of pirates like these!! I don't really get what you mean. The 7th shichibukai was destined to be introduced one day, it is inevitable that he looks like that (lol). If you mean that why couldn't the 7th Shichibukai be an ex-marine or something, we have had information of the 7th shichibukai for a while now, ->

>>Marshall D. Teach broke into Level 6 and released all the surviving prisoners during his recruitment.
>>One year ago, the same pirate who cut off Zephyr's arm became a Shichibukai after escaping from Impel Down.
So that guy is the self proclaimed "White Beard Jr."?? The guy is a pirate.
kst said: do you think that marco will support luffy ? Most probably, to honor Whitebeard's final command / Ace's will. Though we can't say for sure if they will continuously be supporting Luffy, as they might have a plan of their own, to take down Blackbeard or something. Most probably, they will not rely on Luffy for that, as they are proud of being a part of the crew of the strongest man in the world. They have the pride of being the 'strong ones'.
P.S. Oh ye I forgot to mention that the cover and coloured cover look beast! I wonder though why aren't the rest of the crew in the coloured cover. Chopper is in it, so it couldn't just be the "east blue gang". I thought the Hippo on the back was Franky because it looks huge, but it has a (Kenshin) scar on his face, so I don't think so. There's another small hippo on the ground with a katana, I couldn't figure out who it's supposed to be, assuming there's more to that. (probably not) Shame we couldn't see Robin, she would look gorgeous, just like Nami. :3 |
