| Luffy is 100% sure that he is going to finish off Doflamingo, and since nothing has worked until now, I think he is going to use a new attack |
 |
| So 6 minutes have already passed, ok, that went faster than I thought it would go. |
| Damn....Burgess...really should take Sabo's Warning seriously. He will be killed if he does not. BUT DAMN IT STARTED!!! BURGESS VS SABO!!! AND LOOKS SO COOL ALREADY!! Hunter that hunts Devil Fruit Users....damn Blackbeard Really Plotting Evil Things isn't he ...Small fries..really should just Drop dead...especially Donflamingo Family Small Fries.. But Damn Colosseum Warriors arrive with Style...and Baby 5 still makes me laugh ...wait....Luffy is back to Stregth...in 4 Minutes...and Massacre is in...3 Minutes...OH F**K...only way to survive is actually if Zoro and Co just break the Cage..otherwise it is death |

Isterio said: I hope you're not expecting Fuji to be capable of teleporting and saving everybody. His comment on "Is government some kind of God" fits pretty well, he's sensing the catastrophe that befalls the country at this moment, yet he's not allowed to raise hand against DD right now, if he wants to achieve his ultimate goal.Which civilians does he save? None , he did jack shit because of CIS or plot covenience. He just doesn´t do anything, if it wasn´t for King Rikku calling out to his people that Granny would have died, don´t tell me Fuji would have jumped there heroicly to save her, which makes his character stink. Completely disagree with this and I do not understand why you do point this out. since Fishman island it should be clear what faith Zorro has in his captain and that he never would interrupt one of his fights. This is the opposite of the character we know Zorro to be. I do not understand how someone like you missed out on that, did you just forgott about Punk Hazard and Fishman Island? What you propose here is like making Luffy like women, which could be justfieable but totally out of character. The only logical scenario would be that Luffy get´s defeated and Zorro substitutes but that would mean that he´ll leave the crew since his captain would have proven to be unreliable The reason I said that is because the situation is dire right now. In FI, Noah was outside FI, and Zoro would get in Luffy's Elephant Gatling had he interfered; In PH, Luffy had no problem dealing with CC; now in DR, situation clearly doesn't look good. Yes, it doesn't feel good to have Zoro aid his captain, but then again, people are dying.. and more will follow, as time approaches its limit. I know he's trying to break the birdcage and all, but he couldn't right now, so.. |

| I'll be very happy if that lights are Nami's weather bubbles. |
| Nice Chapter Sabo kinda act like Luffy lol i know Sabo and Burgess fight is going to get skipped but i hope to see some of Sabo's techniques |
| Man, Burgess is really a dense guy, right? He really thought that Luffy had a Mera Mera fruit... after himself saying that this guy, called Lucy from Colosseum, wasn't Luffy (or at least the guy under the disguise of Lucy, who stole the Mera Mera no Mi, that's it)? He is even more dense, than I expected. With how things go, he may be so dense, that he won't even try to steal other devil fruits' powers when there is a chance (I mean, Doflamingo, Law, hell, Sugar). |

Alejandro13 said: I think zoro has a hidden power and he will use it to break the birdcage I am pretty sure Zoro has hidden power stored in his left eye. It was never stated that he got this from an injury, right? The birdcage will not be broken. Zoro and the rest are trying to delay the massacre. +1 min. delay for Luffy to recover and end this with one final attack. |
Isterio said: wakutan said: I am pretty sure Zoro has hidden power stored in his left eye. It was never stated that he got this from an injury, right? Yes actually he hides the Sharingan underneath it, after losing his left eye his friend Sakana Uchiha gave it to Zorro before he passed away. With the Sharigan Zorro is capable of keeping up with his fast movement use the windrelease on his blades to enhance their sharpness and even perform Genjutsu on his enemies. You trying to be funny? : ) Keep trying. |
| Tension =/= danger of possible death Death is not the only bad thing that can happen to a character. |
 |
Isterio said: What can possibly happen to the main cast/memorable supportive cast of One Piece before the series end. In all honesty? Law got his arm cut off and stiched back on. Many things can happen. Possibilities create tension, as you said, but while there is not much possibility of death, there are many other situations that could go more than one way. Sabaody? Anyone died there? No. Was the tension at fucking sky level? Yes, it was. That arc perfectly shows what I'm talking about. None of the main cast died, and by that time we knew just as much as we know now that they won't, and yet the tension was there. Why? Not becasue of "will they survive?" question, but because of "how will they survive?" and by getting them as close to death as possible. It's a trick. We know they won't die, but then Oda drops a situation that seems impossible to escape and that makes us start doubting the no death policy. And then the tension rises becasue what if this is the arc where he breaks the pattern? Impel Down - did anyone die? No. Was the tension high? Yes. Why? Because of the time limit or the danger that is not based on life and death situation but freedom and imprisonment. We couldn't be sure whether all the characters escape. Bon-chan didn't. and then there is ace now let me remind you it is not about whether Ace dies or not. Not this arc. This arc is about whether Luffy is going to reach him before the time runs out. While the event is getting him closer to death, the death itself is not the cause of the tension. It's the task at Luffy's hand that he may or may not fail to accomplish. Marineford, aside from showing actual deaths, presented the suffering of the main hero which in itself is something that can easily replace the death's place in tension building. Though I know that this would make a much better argument if characters in OP actually went through some serious development, but oh well. So we have separation, imprisonment, suffering. None is death, yet all are fueling tension. Enies Lobby - the tension of the arc comes not from the "will robin die or not" but "will they reach her before she crosses the gate of justice" and even if we assumed that SH are never going to die in this series, the tension was still there, becasue the story could have easily continue into another rescue arc had robin actually went through the gate. So there was no guarantee whether they will save her or not this arc, and that created tension. Skypiea had the tension built destruction of land, rather than death of people. Enel destroyed whole damn island and he was about to destroy rest of the sky islands and entire upped yard. And once again lack of deaths has nothing to do with tension, because the thing we couldn't be sure about is whether he destroy the sacred ground and homes of all skypieans or not. Thriller Bark - Kuma wanted to TAKE Luffy, not kill him. A situation similiar to Enies Lobby. If Luffy was taken, a rescue arc could have happened easily, so we couldn't be sure whether someone will stop Kuma or not. And that results in tension. Without anyone's life being in danger. Fishman island also had tension, not because someone life's was in danger, or becasue of hody. Similiarly to Skypiea, tension was built by the danger of the destruction of Fishman Island. We were told that Luffy will destroy it, but we weren't sure when. It could have been that arc, because it made sense, and that gave us tension. Dressrosa had the perfect opportnity for some tense moments with the mera mera fruit, but Oda dropped the ball here. We weren't sure about who's gonna eat it, or who's gonna win what round in the tournament, so that was what built the tension in that subplot (the fact that it was meh-ly written all in all is another matter) As you have said, possibilities create tension, and there is always a possibility of something bad, other than death, happening. And remember I'm not arguing whether PH or DR have tension, I'm just saying that death is not the only way to create it. |

Isterio said: ToG25thBaam said: Pretty sure those strings are rooted in the ground. There are like a million excuses I can come up with, all of them are kinda legit so who cares which one we pick. The point still stands. Why doesn´t Fuji make a move or why doesn´t Zorro cut that shit down. There is one excuse I found to be leigit, it´s the nature ofthe Birdcage to be indestructable and the only way to stop it is Luffy must beat Doffy. That would explain why Fuji isn´t moving since he would have to attack Doffy which he wants to avoid. Anything else like it´s too strong, or it has Haki embeded in it, I call bullshit on that. If Zorro is incapable Fuji should be able to tear that shit up I can understand your question about Zoro not trying to cut it but in case of Fujitora is pointless to question why his not cutting it. His power is gravity. Gravity can't help with that cage really. Even if he brinks a huge meteor the meteor is gonna get sliced while going threw the cage and just kill people inside. It's just a matter of his power being incompatible with this specific problem. On the other hand Zoro's power perfectly fits with this problem. What Zoro does best is cut things. And what is needed is someone to cut that damn bird cage. So why can't he cut is beyond me. The guy cuts literally threw everything so why can't he cut those strings even with haki on his swords is something i don't get. |
| They are trying to stop the cage, cool. |
 |
 Warms my heart man, these heartful conversations are everything <3 Luffy really needs some more alone time with Sabo, I pray that they have a talk at some point Barto is the hype-man, you love to see it!!! |

| Oh, I really hope Luffy and Sabo get to have some free time to each other. |
 |
| Yeah I just....don't like the 10 minute thing. It really killed momentum imo. Fuck man I was really vibing too. |

 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
