Flame Dragon Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 http://kissmanga.com/Manga/One-Piece/One-Piece-727--Ambushing-heroes-?id=179005NEW CHAPTERI just realized: Doflamingo succeeded where Crocodile was stopped, in fact, there are some uncanny similarities overall.And it took me this long to realize all of the Schichibukai at the start of the series had an animal motif. It was either my friend that brought it up or someone here, but this arc and the Alabasta arc have a fair bit of parallels. That dastardly, diabolical, demonic, demoralizing, destructive Doflamingo has done it again. One of One Piece's greatest strengths is its villains. Part of what made Fishman Island less good was that Hordy was just a poor bad guy (though that does seem to be what Oda wanted). Flamingo though has been insanely amazing. Everything about him works and we have been shown clearly that this dude is very smart and very insane. I really do love this character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Dammit Doflammingo. It was either my friend that brought it up or someone here, but this arc and the Alabasta arc have a fair bit of parallels. Which is awesome because Alabasta is one of my top arcs.

Tentacruel Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Doflamingo is such a good villain. One Piece has the best villains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.B. strategist Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It was either my friend that brought it up or someone here, but this arc and the Alabasta arc have a fair bit of parallels. This is the one minor problem I have with the arc so far, actually. I keep expecting there to be some twist on the Alabasta parallel but everything's been following the same formula so far. Of course, if Oda takes this to its logical conclusion and it turns out Doffy has somehow gotten his hands on the Pluton, well, then it'll just be amazing.

Shradow Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Also, good to see X Drake still around. I mean, it was pretty much confirmed with the title page of 725, but with One Piece, it's entirely possible it was a whole different dinosaur.

King of Games Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 [spoiler=blooodie hoo]Loved seeing more Monet. PICA!! My god i did not expect that at all. I thought his silhouette was armor, but no, just his muscles. Franky just cant hold back his tears. at all. Just one big puddle of robotic emotions. I thought most of the soldiers were sent to the Coliseum but i guess that's not exactly true. It's still weird when Robin reacts. Just makes it doubly funny. Would've liked seeing Barty trying to direct Luffy, but hey, that'll be half an episode for the anime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Robin's reaction face still put me on tilt and it still feels out of character. I guess she changed a fair bit during the 2 year skip and having been with the crew for so long now. Anyway, amazing chapter as always. Flashbacks in One Piece tend to drag and do get a little dull after while (fishmen island) but the way its been done for this arc has been amazing. Can't wait to see the stuff with Bellamy next week.

K.B. strategist Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 So the little girl in Doffy's crew was indeed around 10 years ago... and she looked exactly the same as she does now. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Didn't notice until someone pointed it out. This arc is very similar to Alabasta. Warlord taking over a kingdom, princess, the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 I've started noticing the similarities with Alabasta as well.I'm indifferent to it, personally. Alabasta was a good arc and Doflamingo's different enough from Crocodile so it doesn't feel like a total rehash. I personally want Rebecca to join the Straw Hats, but that's just me.I love how Robin's been more reactive, it's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 I know why Oda is always taking breaks, but it still sucks to have it keep happening. Also, I'm pretty sure the break is just until the week after next. For some reason the renumbering of jump issues starts in December so thats when #2 comes out. Anyway, did anyone else think Nami's face looked really child-like on page 12. Like, it looked REALLY different. Chopper also looked off on that pahe. Sanji looked fine though.

King of Games Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Franky motivating everyone. :) Sanji's gonna come back!] Who knows what's going to happen with Bellamy. Maybe beat this officer and confront Doffy. Luffy and Doffy within reach of each other, with just a fence between them. Should be good. Traffy mentioned a Kora-san. Will of D. carrier?

Fusion X. Denver Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Wouldn't be surprised if Law was Trafalgar D. Law...but god damn, what a cliffhanger.Everything else is pretty copacetic, good chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I just had the oddest argument. So people are always wanting Sabo to actually be alive somewhere, but I point out that he was confirmed dead in one of the databooks, which are canon. One guy's response was essentially, "The databooks don't talk about future events, just because he's dead in the past doesn't mean he won't be alive in the future." Oh, internet...

Tentacruel Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 AH EM GEE TRA IS SABO But really I kinda hope Law survives, he's really grown on me. What I am saying, it's One Piece, of course he's alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I've actually seen people who think Tra-guy is Sabo. On the cover of Chapter 596, there was sort of a, "what if" image of a grown up Sabo with Ace (note the lack of the marked out S in his tattoo) and Luffy, and he looks nothing like Tra-guy. Also, if he has a, "what if you weren't dead" image about him, there's the prerequisite that he's dead. Hard to say, we're building up a precedent for non-flashback deaths: Ace, Whitebeard, the Merry, Monet, Vergo. But I don't see Tra-guy dying anytime soon, either. Also, speaking of Monet, why didn't Luffy use his Red Hawk on her? Even without Haki, fire is probably one of the natural weaknesses of the Snow Snow Fruit (like how Crocodile could be hit while wet or Luffy's rubber body could hit Eneru).
