----------------------------------------
Chapter was so-so.

Nothing exciting seemed to have happened. It looks like all of the strawhats are going to stay put for a while. Training/getting stronger/ etc.

Not all One Piece chapters are epic.

It was ok, but not much more.

Everybody is just deciding to become stronger, which we saw the beginning of during the last chapter, with Chopper and Sanji.

Next week we'll see Zoro, and since he was the only one who didn't get the message, Mihawk will probably explain it to him, and at the same time inform the readers about it.

Plus, and this is just my opinion, Zoro is the only strawhat that doesn't need to get stronger. So yeah, his moment will probably be more special. Though it will be interesting to see him interact with Mihawk. Maybe Mihawk wont "help him", but could possibly tell Zoro the whereabouts of another sword. One of those legendary ones. That's honestly the only thing Zoro needs..... a super legendary sword, like the one Mihawk has.

I wasn't super amused by this chapter, but progress is being made. And if there's anything I've learned reading this manga, it's patience. I really wanted to hear about what was going on with Buggy though.

Looks like Zoro's part would become the most interesting out of all of them. It's going to be interesting how it'll turn out.

Lastly, Franky made a new legend on that island XD

Every single week this seems to be the case. And Oda could have easily just went straight to everyone getting back together. We honestly don't need to know what everyone was up to. Everyone friggin knew the SH were going to power-up, so it wouldn't have been a swerve seeing everyone super strong out of no where.

But Oda is deliberately elongating this to make chapter 600 "it". Which means we have 3 more chapters til 600.

So I wanna know:
*Why Bonney is so important to the World Government. She someones daughter or something? She was crying during the war, someones lover perhaps?
*Who will become the new Fleet Admiral, and who will become the new Admiral.
*Just an update on the World Government
*What the Gorousei plans to do with the shichibukai.
*Boa Hancock marrying/getting impregnated by Luffy.
*How about Buggy?
*An update on all of the Supernovas.....

I wonder if 3 chapters can cover all of that?

I think the Buggy one may the only one you get. We had our update on the Supernovas and I think that is all the screen time they get for now.

I will say one thing I was thinking of(Off topic) was Perona. Now that we know Moria is still alive I think the likely hood of her joining the crew is probably not likely. Which makes me wonder who/if anyone else is going to join.

I liked this chapter because of all the reminiscing. It reminded me of the many emotional moments throughout this story.


Anyway, with each chapter, a time skip is looking more and more plausible. Since everyone except for Zoro has been covered - and as you guys already mentioned here - yeah, Oda's most likely gonna focus on him in the next chapter. Mihawk training him would be beyond awesome, but I seriously doubt it's going to happen. What Justice said about Zoro getting a legendary sword sounds equally as awesome.

Besides Zoro, I'm most interested in Robin's growth. Hanging out with Dragon and the revolutionaries? Can't wait to see what happens with her.

Also, rofl @ Franky.

And now, I'm looking forward to chapter 600. =)

God damn, Oda's really cruel, drawing that what-if scenario for the chapter cover.

He already got one of those when he defeated Ryuuma back in Thriller Bark. I think what he needs most is rest. Plenty of it. Ever since Mihawk wounded him way back during the Baratie arc Zoro hasn't made a full recovery from that wound. Add to that the various battles he's fought, taking all of Luffy's fatigue and pain, and getting fucked over by Kizaru, recovery would be his much needed power-up.

Wait wait wait. Zoro has one of the ...8...9...11..... I don't know, legendary swords? Like I know Tashigi talked about them before. The one he got from Ryuuma was considered one? Maybe I should just check the OP wiki. I honestly know nothing about the swords in One Piece, other there being legendary ones.

And I agree with that also. Zoro has honestly never fought at 100%. I kinda fear how good he'll be at 100%. He cut thru fucking Kuma for christ sake while being half dead!

edit:
alright, looked it up.
Zoro has 2 "great" swords. They are the second most powerful grade.
The best being "supreme", which he doesn't have. And since he has 2 known swords, and one crappy one, he will eventually get a supreme grade one.

I thought all 3 of his were "great" swords. The Wado something he got from Kuina is one of the 21 best swords in the world and he'll never get rid off it, the legendary blade he got from the samuri, and that cursed sword was also famous.

There are 21 "great" grade swords. Zoro has 2 of them.

There are 12 "supreme" grade swords. Mihawk has one, and there is another known one. Plus, speculation from fans believe one of the gorousei has a "supreme" grade sword.

All 3 of Zoro's swords are awesome. The one with the less status is the cursed sword he has. So if his going to change any, then that will be.
But calling the cursed sword a crappy one is completely off the mark. From the three is has the most sharp blade and is still a very good sword.
We don't even know how much it's status is being affected by it's curse.
Personally i see no reason for a change of swords since all three are very good blades.
It's obvious that he is the one that will improve. Do you guys forget how Mihawk commented that he wasn't impressed on how far he went by fighting with the monkeys. Those monkeys are gonna make Zoro stronger.

Anyway this chapter puts the foundations of the upcoming power-ups.
I expect a small time-skip very soon and the chapter right after it will inform us of the new status in the World Government, the reunite of the Straw Hat pirates, what deal Buggy made and a new event starting to take place.

Flashbacks were great, but there were some mistakes... When Usopp remembered about Crocodiles defeat, Nami has clearly Perfect Clima Tact. And Nami's flashback seems odd, since art style is so much different compared to original Arlong Park Saga. Especially her boobs are way bigger than it's supposed to be. :)

I think Spectrum is an amusing title. To unify different perspectives or behaviours under single title

Hopefully Zoro will be getting stronger, and of course a new sword. But if I could decide, I would make his sense of direction a bit better :p.

Also, I really wanna see Luffy in action, Oda has kept us for quiet a while now.

I agree with wanting to see Luffy, now that you mention it. I do, however, disagree with Zoro's sense of direction getting better. I myself have a horrible sense of direction. But compared to Zoro it's decent, and I like that =D

Moria isn't alive. o.0 He was killed by Doflamingo. If you're talking about when Mihawk said "Moria wasn't killed in battle, because at the end of the war he was still seen" or whatever, you gotta realize Doflamingo and the Pacifistas killed off Moria after the war.

Zoro will end up having 1 or 2 swords out of the 12 greatest swords, but right now he needs some major destructive power i.e. something like Mihwak's 'World's Strongest Slash'. And later on he needs to have the power to stop or cut logia users. He's and will be the 2nd strongest of the crew, and therefore he'll face many strong guys and some of them will surely have logia powers (like admirals)
