I for one would like Sabo to 'remain' dead though. I think there's no real part to play for a person who was in terms of strength on pair with Ace (and now probably even stronger--->point being stronger than Luffy by far) and with such an emotional bond with Luffy this late in the story. I think him being alive and fit in the current New World events would have to be really genius, but I don't see the circumstances in which that will happen, despite this being Oda we're talking about. I think he just left that window open in case he gets a change of heart and wants to bring Sabo back, but the brothers story is already used, and there would be too much holes to explain if Sabo was alive (for 1, why hasn't he met luffy/ace yet, for 2, why didn't he try to save Ace...etc etc) If he is alive and we will see him in the future, I will cry tears of joy anyway. And hope Oda will cover everything perfectly. But I'm afraid of those covers. |

I'm willing to say it is a safe bet that none of the current non DF-user crew members are going to become users. It is unnecessary, and actually does a disservice to their individual character development that they have worked hard to get this strong without relying on a fruit's power. |

Idk... it's really not as strong as people make it out to be.... the phoenix and magma would probably be more desirable |

| Overall decent chapter. Kinda a dissapointment, but better than nothing. 1.Kin vs. Zoro sounds interesting. Would like to see the gap between the two. 2. I'm pretty certain the blind man is Fuji. He seems to be aware of who the SHs are, and his line best indicates that he would rather not fight them. It doesn't look like he's one of Doflamingo's men, but the bartenders reaction had me questioning that. Who knows, we'll see. Pretty sure if he was doflamingo's man though, he'd be more interested in informing dofla... 3. Hope Zoro's gets his sword back, and returns back w/ his group soon. Kind of want to see him be apart of the tournament. 4. It looks like the crew will probably be partaking in the tournament w/ their disguises. Just curious to how long these disguises will last. Luffy's reaction to Ace's fruit wasn't that interested. Still, looks like he'll fight to win! |
| Tournament! This arc is going to be amazing!! |
kiDnameDSkia said: explain if Sabo was alive (for 1, why hasn't he met luffy/ace yet, for 2, why didn't he try to save Ace...etc etc) for the same reason why Dragon didn't come till now to save luffy (besides that first time) why Dragon didn't come to marineford? and Sabo ? because it's not their damn business.. Ace has his own life, his own path in life and they are all independent.. Sabo was introduced in that 'royal' arc and Dragon also, thats why they are both together, as revolutionaries, they have other goals like changing that damn world. |
smokes said: because it's not their damn business.. Ace has his own life, his own path in life Well, there goes the concept of "brothers". You are completely wrong in your statement. "Not their own business"? So what!? It was proven to Luffy that it IS his business because he IS his brother. Proven when Ace told him to go away. It wont make sense if Sabo is alive, Oda must pull something crazy to cover that much of a hole and amnesia wont do. |

I believe One Piece won't even bother giving you the classic shounen tournament feeling. Something is gonna go to hell and everything will change or the tournament thing will be a very short event. |

And Dragon saving him before was because Luffy was in a hopeless situation, later he said that Luffy has his own path and his friends who care about him, and he doesn't need saving. AND, there were some of the major revolutionaries present, Ivankov so it's save to say Dragon trusted them to savekeep Luffy. |

| Why couldn't Luffy seem more pissed off at the ending, man he doesn't know how to grasp the moment. Lol at Zoro's Shuusui getting robbed, I'm looking forward to some short comedy with that, not a nerf for this arc. Old blind swordsman is seeming more and more like he's Fujitora now, perhaps Akainu ordered him to go after Luffy/Law, but his own sense of justice is directing him to the greater threat, Doflamingo? Looking forward to the tournament/coliseum. It's giving me a "Tales of" feeling (game franchise), although we all know it's not going to last more than a few minutes before everything blows up lol. |

| OK seriously that doll thing is just retarded, reminds me of the cyborg addition. OK chapter. Let's just hope it won't be as pointless as Davy Jones' challenges or soemthing like in Hakusho...or the worst; fairy tail.

| I wasn't too thrilled about this chapter. I'm kinda hoping everything goes haywire with the tournament. I can't imagine someone like Luffy waiting for his turn to fight. Then again if Natsu did it like others seem to have mentioned... I only recently finished the anime and caught up with the manga. Maybe I just have to get used to seeing it in pieces but I missed the interactions between the characters not in the factory destruction group. In previous chapters the reactions of Law, Usopp and Nami to Luffy's antics really enhanced the chapters. Also, I thought Doflamingo renounced his royal status? Why is everyone referring to him like he's royalty still? |

| The old man definitely has to be Fujitora. He didn't tell Luffy because he'd have to kill him (haha that was cheesy). I like the idea (I read in another forum) about "fairies" maybe being gypsies with Dressrosa being like Spain. Senor Pink looks so boss lol Two predictions: -Fujitora is going to take the Mera Mera. -Guy who stole Shuusui is an contestan in the colloseum. yhunata said: The fuck is Budokai Tenkaiichi (is that how it's spelled, or even called) stadium doing on Dressrossa? Dressrosa is like Spain, so the Colosseum is imitating this: |

Unless you skipped/dozed off through history class you would know that Spain was once a flourishing Roman colony and had all of the same commodities that the Romans enjoyed in the capital. So the Spanish "Coliseo" is in the same style and design as the roman one. As for the one shown in the manga it looks like the coliseum in Barcelona most of the island looks like Barcelona as well. Also that one thug called it the corrida coliseum which is Spanish for bullfighting so there's another obvious hint at the theme for the island. |

Also that one thug called it the corrida coliseum which is Spanish for bullfighting so there's another obvious hint at the theme for the island. Yes of course I am aware. Hispania was once Rome's favourite colony, and most soldiers went there to retire. So what. Oh and I didn't learn that in history class. I still think it's based on the Colosseum. The name is a dead giveway. Secondly look at the seating, Plaza de Toros only has two layers, which are covered by a roof and pillars. Corrida Colosseum has 3 or more layers and the seats are open air just like the original one. Just cause Dressrossa is like Spain, it doesn't mean that every thing in it is Spanish, and everything Spanish will make an appearance. |
pls drop the "like the original" way of putting what you want to say, because Colosseum was neither the first, nor the most innovative arena in the Roman Empire, just the largest... Just say you think this is looks more like the Colosseum because of its size rather then the one in Barcelona. |

| I really hope Luffy joins in this battle. I assume it's going to be gladiator style which would be sweet. |

| Wow, the Mera Mera no Mi! |
 |
| My mind has been blown! How can I be so foolish as to think that there will be another Mera Mera fruit aside from Ace's or that they made an identical one. So the way I deduce it, there is only one "devil fruit" for each abilities, and no identical; that same goes for Gumo Gumo and others! When the user dies, it will reappear once again for its new master. Now I'm enlightened! And now for the next chapter... |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| A tournament arc, huh? This is OP so I'm guessing it would go differently than usual. |
 |
| Wow, the Coliseo seems a trap!!! kekeke |
| loving the aesthetic of this arc, some kind of wild Spanish Roman mashup |
