sweet, no new One Piece chapter for 3 weeks....wait, what?

Oda sure is building up this arc real slow. I'm hoping that the Supernovas clash with the Strawhats, that sure would be something. and the coating master is 100 times stronger than Luffy?! exaggeration much?

Holy shit. Just by introducing all these huge ass bounty pirates, Oda has even further set up this arc to be something monumental!! I wonder how many of these guys have Devil Fruit powers. And I wonder if Captain Kid is really worth 315,000,000. I mean, rivaling Shickibuki, it sounds like it. But Shakky made it sound like he simply a wuss who picks of people much weaker than him.

I'm soooo psyched. 3 weeks? Too long of a wait.

Whoo that was awesome. The intro of all the new pirates was awesome. Also Trafalgar Law seems to have the same mark as DoFlamingo. Same mark perhaps?

Also why 3 weeks? Goldenweek is next week and I didn't see anything that said Oda would be taking another week break. So it's only 2 weeks.

Pretty badass, coating guy probably stops the place from burning all to the ground.

Wow, that's a lot of new rivals. I could see this arc going on for a while, or at the very least some of these characters will continue onto future arcs.

Feel the same way, great impact...
The strongest look like the "Kid" pirates as they are like the Straw-hat crew, two strong members and both those are slight higher than Zoro and Luffy :P
Really interesting, cant wait!!!

I doubt that. Since they are all Pirate captains..which mean they have at least done something great to be called that.

Could be a possibility. Still, there are too many unknowns still about to tell. Like the Tenryuubito. They may make some of these guys their slaves.

It's not like all the SH are that strong enough to battle captains that have 100+ million bounties. Besides, so far the SH have been fighting either a group or a crew. These people are captians of seperate crews alike.

Also that Chopper won't be able to handle that "surgeon guy". If you look closely, he has DoFlamingo's mark. With a bounty of 200million AND that mark means he is dangerous and the possiblity of Chopper winning is zero to none.

Well, unless Chopper goes berserk again like in Enies Lobby. I can't imagine many people stopping him in that form. ^_^

But yeah, I noticed the DoFlamingo mark as well. I've been impatiently waiting for him to make an entrance into the story once again. Here's hoping that this will lead to it.

I've checked both Mangahelpers.com and the ArlongPark forums and both state that Oda will be taking an additional week off after Golden Week so don't expect a new chapter until around May 18. the info posted on those sites are reliable but if turns out to be false, no harm done, that's 2 weeks instead of 3. =D

IMO, at this point in the story, bounties don't mean shit. remember that this is the crew that pulled off the impossible when they charged onto the impregnable Enies Lobby and took down Cipher Pol 9. of which not a single member was a pushover so saying that they have no chance is a bit of a stretch. at that point, only 3 of the SH had a bounty.

hell, Luffy might even be able to take 2 of these rookies at the same time.

You do bring up a valid point. The SH were able to bring down all of CP9 with only Luffy and Zoro having bounties. Even Nami and Chopper stepped up big time to play a significant role in that battle.

However, each SH fighting each captain would be an obvious path to take. Also, don't all of these captains have crews too? And its not like these Supernovas are going to team up against the SH unless they do something outrageous against all of them.

Again, I have a feeling the Tenryuubito are going to play an important role in all of this. The fact that they were revealed last chapter and Oda saying that they take strong captains as their slaves, it definitely makes sense that they may take a few of them as their captives or something. Or even eye Luffy or other of the crew. Who knows.

And plus, we're not even AT Merman Island yet. That's what blows my mind. All of this info revealed before hand, it makes me wonder how this is going to tie together with their trip to Merman Island.

Haha, and let's not forget Luffy was grouped with the term "rookies" by Shakky too.

I'd like to clarify something first, while I do hope that the SH and the other Supernovas get into some sort of battle royale, I'm guessing it won't happen. what they're doing right now is gauging each other's capabilities and assessing the competition. if one of the crews seem like they could take out another crew without exhausting themselves, then they might go ahead with it. this is still within the proximity of the WG's turf, being reckless wouldn't make much sense.

I agree with the Tenryuubito will be more significant as this arc progresses. both in terms of plot progression and Rayleigh's "disappearance" could be related to this matter.

And how much can that woman eat? I wonder who would win between her and Luffy in an eating contest.

Nice to see the Eleven Supernovas! So, Eustass Kid has a higher bounty than Luffy, cool. And who is this craftsman guy, he's 100 times stronger?! Can't wait to see who it is...

Lol, the SBS for this chapter was hilarious, Oda-sensei's science lesson!

So much introduction to new characters! Capone, Bonney, Hawkins, Kidd, Apoo, Drake, Urouge, Killer and Law!!! So much characters!!! I can kinda tell who will stay important tbh, LAW seems like he's sticking around mainly based off of his appearance lol

Also this guy who's gonna coat the ship is 100 times stronger than the StrawHats?
