| Lucy won and fixed that guys problem lol |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Man, between the ridiculously long opening and slow pace, this arc is just really not impressing me so far. I mean, New World as a whole has yet to live up to the hype but at least in Punk hazard, I felt like the characters were actually in some degree of danger. Here, Luffy is just screwing around while the others play around with fairies. I actually find myself more interested in how the other tournament contestants are doing. Only one who feels like they're in any danger is Law. |

vMugen said: Anyone notice that small plothole involving the crystal sheet covering the treasure in the flashback. Didn't Chinjou drilled it the first time and left a big opening when he sent those thieves down before Garp showed up? How did that hole disappear? Couldn't he go through that area and get all that treasure out from that spot? Or did I skip a scene when I was skimming through it. Idk. That thought just bugged me for a bit haha. D: It's not Crystal, it's ice. So it freezes back over after a while. It's assumed that it freezes over rather quickly, but it's never mentioned how long it takes. http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Jewel_Ice_Sheet (this specific article is safe from spoilers after viewing ep 649, but be careful not to wander around the site) |

| Nice fight and Best episode so far I mean (after the time skip.) lucy is famous now. |
 |
| That was somewhat predictable. |
 |
| This was a pretty good episode, but... is it me or did Luffy beat Chinjao without using most of his rubber powers in the manga... thats the one thing thats bugging me. |
| Love and Peace!!! |
| What the?!! He got his drill head back, I hope he's happy now if he ever regain consciousness again or his senile brain has been turned into a sludge. XP |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |

| Pretty decent fight, but the ending punch making the guys head sharp again was stupid. It would of been better imo if his head was made perfectly flat by that punch. I'm guessing they will do what they did with sanji and the guy that looked like his wanted picture initially being a bad guy but then helping them in some way |
| This episode was 70% pointless trash talk, 15% pointless flashback and 15% of the crowd going EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?????????????????? Why don't they just do one episode having each and every single person in the coliseum going EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?????????????????? For about 3 seconds each? |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| lol after this, Don Chinjao is gonna make a full 180 and worship Luffy for giving him his drill back lmao |
| And "Lucy" win between Chinjao!!!! |
| I'm so surprised with how awesome this whole Luffy vs. Chinjao fight has been. I mean, this far in the game Luffy's fought a lot of folks, but this fight is one that's definitely gonna stick with me. This has been better than most of the boss battles imo Great win though! At least he got his drill punched back into shape lol So Burgess finally gets that Lucy is Luffy and Bellamy is ready to make his move...we all know he's not gonna stand a chance against Luffy &I feel kinda bad for the guy. He really looks up to Doffy, but I don't think he wants to wreck things with Luffy after he not only forgave him, but cheered him on as well :/ |

| To contrast the user above me, this was one of my least favorite fights in the series. For one, it went on far too long. I’d prefer for this to have been set up and finished in one or two scenes. Instead it was just Chinjao spinning on his head a few times or Luffy and Chinjao clashing fists or feet while DBZ teleporting. The announcer even giving the patented “I CAN’T EVEN SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING”! There was just nothing about this that I found engaging, even if this is more of a nod to Dragon Ball. The kind of fight they had wasn’t interesting or strategic until the end when Luffy decided to finish him off. Chinjao wasn’t all that interesting either and since I expected a gag from him I absolutely predicted his head would be punched so hard his drill would come back. Everything went according to how I’d expect without bringing engaging ideas to the table. Sure, this was a clash of conquerors haki meaning there were big shockwaves and it signifies Luffy’s initiation into the battle of kings, but that wasn’t enough for me. Plus with Chinjao’s anger setting him up to say literally everything to make Luffy hate him, I found it, like with the bull, somewhat cheap. “Luffy you should give up on being a pirate you suck, also your brother deserved to die, also Blackbeard, the guy whose largely responsible, is the only one of you guys who I believe in”. Talk about asking for a beating. Saying those could have come off great if I felt Chinjao had some depth or was more fun but instead, him being fueled by a gag and a grudge made him feel too shallow. To top it off, we already have, as someone mentioned, Duval who was hit so hard he became an ally. I argue that Hancock is similar, like Duval she was a pretty heinous person but she was won over and then became a comically loyal ally. Chinjao looks to get that treatment too now that he is in debt to Luffy for giving back his drill and in turn his fortune. That said, he wasn’t all bad, I actually liked Sai in his display from the fight and the way he cared for Boo in his own way. That and how they watched together and rushed to their old man made me feel like this trio was a real family. And on top of that, Chinjao bashing his head into the ice while crying was actually sad! I did like that and how he reached for his drill the moment he woke up. Like I first said, if this was done much faster I think I’d like it more. He was too built up for such an uninteresting fight with uninteresting motives and a cheap way to make Luffy mad. At least Luffy dropping lines like “Stop whining over one punch! I can’t count how many times I got punched by him!” or “No, I’m not that interested.” when Chinjao asked if he wanted to know what happened were hilarious. However, what came from this fight was pretty nice. First I think we saw the youngest Garp yet. Garp when he and Sengoku fought Shiki had gray streaks, same as when he was with Luffy and Ace as children. Here he had a full set of black hair! It was a nice detail and seeing him again put a smile on my face, even if he didn’t do much. I like to imagine he was doing some pretty awesome things while away from Luffy. Apart from Garp we got a full room of those who want to kill Luffy together. Bartolomeo and Cavendish revealing his identity while fighting over who gets to kill him. Bellamy no doubt preparing for the assassination in the back. Burgess overhearing and stating how exciting that was. I do wonder what kind of guy Burgess is, because pragmatically he shouldn’t hurt Luffy until after he won the fruit. One way would be to wait and fight him in the ring as I assume it would hypothetically occur. But we don’t know with him… Finally, also in this room of Luffy’s enemies, Rebecca was there as the one who didn’t fit in. She was just watching out of coincidence but maybe that’s some big brain foreshadowing that she too will be an enemy of Luffy. Hehe, probably not though. As for the Thor finishing move, did Luffy just create electricity? In one of the movies he does that but uses real electricity he picks up from a cloud if I recall correctly. It didn’t look like haki but real electric crackling when they clashed. I suppose it goes with his Red Hawk however those work. |
| I felt pretty bad for Chinjao when he couldn't reopen the ice to get his treasure anymore but at least Luffy was able to give his drill back to him after all those years. |
 |
| Luffy fixed his head. Happy ending for Chinjao. |
 |
| Garp is such a freaking monster Chinajao got beaten up Lucy into the finals!! |
| LOL I knew Luff--Lucy was going to do something outrageous like that. I was starting to feel bad for Chinjao and was hoping he'd get his (split head) drill back. These Colosseum battles are showing off just how fearsome & formidable the New World really is. |
 |
| Hey at least Don Chinjao got his drill back LMAO Congratulations Lucy!! |
 |
| Luffy said, "No, I don't care that much" Lol but of course, he cared enough to fix it ^_^ |
| and he got his horn again from Garp's grandson no less |
| Gonna have to skip reading at least the first page of this thread again since it’s most likely filled mainly with cry babies still complaining about the pacing, comparing it to the manga etc. The drawn out story arcs have been a staple of the anime’s style since the very beginning and yet people are still watching and complaining about it 600+ episodes in. It’s incredibly tiresome to read. Anyway.. I had a feeling Luffy was going to reshape Chinjao’s head. Luffy always has a knack of helping people even when it’s unintentional. I’m really glad I picked up One Piece again.. this arc has been amazing so far. |

| Didn't actually expect Chinjao's head to be 'that' pointy when he was on about losing his drill earlier. Amazing he survived such a skulll deformity With Luffy unintentionally shaping it back (looking pointier than before as well) I guess Chinjao's going to go from grudge-holding lunatic to willing to do anything Luffy asks for as thanks. |
 |
| Part me thinks big guy had a point. Luffy still had lot to go before he king. He didn’t struggle vs him. But he didn’t win quickly either. 4 emperors and 3 admirals are still probably 5 times stronger than this dude. But Luffy never even got hit. So maybe he was not 100% all in. |
