Oda really loves splitting the team up though, really... he just had a mini split up in the sea, now he does it again? Bleh.
Looks like Arlong's relative though.

loved the chapter as always. Sanji was hilarious. He's doing quite well by not losing any blood yet. I wonder if the new leader is a relative to Arlong because they kind of look alike.

wish the crew didn't keep splitting up, its always takes twice as long to get through everything, still betting on a fishman with a logia type devil fruit, so hes a fishman that cant swim joining the crew

Awesome chapter

Sanji = GOD

The mermaids were drawn beautifully. Worth the wait after all. The crew is again separated and seems like some 'big bro' of Arlong has appeared and he'll be the villain for this arc

Heh, thought the same thing as well. It's quite interesting that the other group is all of the most recent members + Zoro. Hopefully, we'll get a bit of development for Brooks there.

Also, yay Caribou again !

Probably nothing special, to be honest. There's no reason for Fishmen to be interested in Devil Fruits (though that'd be a pretty funny concept for a character). Jinbei, supposedly one of the strongest fishguys out there, doesn't appear to be able to do flashy stuff, except pummel shit and speak with fish. I guess the BBEG for this arc, if he's a Fishman, will probably make up for it with a special weapon or something.
We obviously don't have much on him right now, but he has some kind of ball floating in front of him ? Perhaps he's designed after these deep-sea fishes with a kind-of lantern on the head. Guess it shoots lasers or something.

I don't know what's wrong with Oda. There's no way Sanji should be able to handle a half dozen mermaids at once. He should obviously be dead. These power levels are so skewed. :-P

i agree, new villain look like blackbeard little bit. waiting for some fights with luffy haki.

plus its way more interesting when they are separated =))

So the Strawhats are split up yet again. Hopefully the rest of the crew is all right.

Sanji was hilarious in this chapter. My top three Sanji moments are (1) when Luffy had commented and said that Sanji seemed to be crying more than when he left the Baratie (2) When Sanji declared that the mermaid cove was All Blue (3) When a mermaid asked Sanji to dance in the sea together and he became depressed saying that he has no right to acquire such joy and today was the day that he needs to die. Sanji has been pretty hilarious since the time skip and I hope it doesn't change anytime soon.

Can't wait for the villan to be introduced.

No thanks.
I get that having a big old crew walking together in one group would be literally a crowd, but they've been back together for 5 minutes after over 2 years, all I see is Oda hating the group being together.
That and he can place one lot in the "dangerous" area whilst the others are safe, yay.
Meaning one group can go down and another can be a rescue mission.
Again, bleh.

They know Luffy beat Arlong, so maybe that means Arlong came back to report? I'd like a rematch. But then Arlong vs Sanji or something, to show their (insane) growth.

I don't mind them being split up. More situations and conversations, so faster pace. Also, I wonder what role Caribou is gonna play here :)

I wouldn't mind a Fishman joining, but a fishman with a devil fruit meaning he can't swim would be a waste of space. Might as well get a non-fishman then!

Lol, I love Sanji. I agree with everyone saying that this is going to be a big arc; it's definitely set up for something special.

I wasn't that surprised that they were split up, though. Oda does it so often, you can almost expect it. I think it's his way of getting things moving.

Yeah, it's sad to see the team split up again just after they got back together. Hopefully they will get back together just as quickly :3

Yeah, I was thinking he might be Arlong's older brother...maybe? The shadowed Noah sure looked a lot like Arlong. Poor Nami, I'm sure she doesn't want to see that face again. :(

Said this in another forums already, since they were arguing about if the last guy was Arlong or not. So my 2 cents on it MIGHT be arlong


Joel said:

yoyoyo, I just thought of something

http://www.mangareader.net/103-2656-8/one-piece/chapter-549.html

if you read, Jimbe was thinking about Arlong, but decided that thinking about Ace was more important.

When I read it before, I thought he was thinking about asking Luffy to forgive his race

But a couple of pages earlier, Jimbe said "I know my race is violent" and blah, and he really doesnt seem too attached to how his race looks to other people

So then I thought... What if Jimbe was actually going to say that he saw arlong escaping with them, but never got a chance to tell luffy, and was more concerned about saving ace than hunting down Arlong again?

or something along these lines?



Yes? No?



this being about if he has the chance of being there (people think he escaped from low lvls of impel down)

says nothing definite, but its a possibility

Sanji finally found "All Blue". lol!!

That guy in the end is probably some relative of Arlong, brother or something.
I don't think we are gonna have a good fight with this guy. His probably quite weaker that Luffy and Oda is gonna pull some tricks like Luffy ending up in the sea and staff to make it interesting.

I don't know why people are hating the 'Separation' that much. It is just another hint to the fact that they have personal dreams aside than the main one as well. They're blend perfectly as a team, but their habits and hobbies are entirely different from each other. And It is always interesting to see who will take the lead or what action will they take if Luffy ain't there.



We can't see these aspects if they are together all the time

Again, bleh.

You guys do realize that keeping the entire crew together, giving them all enough screen time and also move the plot forward is almost impossible to do in like 16-19 pages? Well, at least I think that's almost impossible. Having 9 main characters has its pros and cons. Anyway, yes, Oda is separating the crew, but its not like they are always separated into the same group or what not. So we get to see them interact with different people as well. I honestly don't see a problem with it. And as people have stated above me, separating the crew allows Oda to show different places of Fishman Island at the same time and allows him to create multiple sub-plot lines at the same time. It makes perfect sense for me to do it in this fashion.

Well yeah, the recent chapters show that pacing with such a big crew is hard to handle very nicely. I just wanted to see more crew interaction before he went and split them up again. There were no stories, no singing, I wanted more Luffy / Zoro hilarity, but now I have to wait again.

People complaining about the crew splitting up? I always like those moments.
And it's not as if it's always the same people that end up together.

Have we seen Luffy Sanji Usopp and Chopper in 1 team before?
Doing it like this gives Oda a great chance to have characters that don't usually interact much a moment to actually do so.

I just hope Nami doesn't end up getting kidnapped again lol
