K.B. strategist Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Great chapter. I love that final page in the flower fields. I remember actually thinking that would be a nice shot to see this arc, but I had it for Doffy vs Luffy... happy to get one regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 This arc's very long and it doesn't seem like it'll end soon. But it's been very enjoyable and a great work from Oda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 So Robin and Bartolomeo fighting that guy should be cool.And I'm hoping we really get to see more of what Rebecca can do in her fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 The part that actually got to me more was the poor horse. If the head got smashed it is very likely it'll die pretty soon. And it looks like Sugar vs Ussop will have a proper fight now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 I don't think Oda is going to kill the horse. The fight between Sugar and Ussop though might actually happen, which would be swetet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Has Oda killed any animals outside flashbacks yet? I mean, besides every other sea monster that becomes the guys' lunch. Noticed this on the front page of Crunchyroll and I kinda want it: http://www.crunchyroll.com/store/p/113397/FiguartsZERO-Gladiator-Lucy-One-Piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Not that I can think of. I mean Sodom and Gomorrah took TONS of damage and ended up making it out alive. One Piece has some great figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yeah, those two were some of the animals I was thinking of that survived because One Piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Dragon Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 http://www.mangapanda.com/one-piece/757 Wasn't a fan of the part with Rebecca. Other than that, great chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Ah, so there's at least one catch with Bartolomeo's power. I was wondering when we'd learn more about it. lol, bit of Frank and Senor shenanigans in a corner panel. The part with Rebecca sort of made sense. Unlike her normal arena bouts where she never even got injured, here she was completely outclassed and was going to die (and didn't have a raging Hakuma to take out the competition), plus there's the whole psychological stuff dealing with Diamante, remember what happened in the Colosseum?

Flame Dragon Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 No, I get it, its just...........seemed off some how. Not sure. The shot of the Franky v Pink battle was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Probably because we didn't see any of the lead up. One second she's face to face with him, ready to fight, next second she's bloody and scared on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.B. strategist Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Most of this chapter is great. I like Robin getting a speech/moment of her own and presumably a fight against gladius (we'll see...), and all the snippets we saw of various fights going on were fun. That Rebecca scene though... yeah this confirms my worst fears about her. She represents everything wrong with Oda's treatment of female characters. "She's a child who you should pity, want to protect... but you can masturbate to her too! Isn't that great?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 The Mangastream translation treats Rebecca WAY betterhttp://readms.com/r/one_piece/757/2501/14 "I don't want to fight anymore!!" vs. their "No way! I don't want to fight this guy!" One sounds like she has given up, the other sounds like she either knows her limits and/or Diamante is just someone who gets into her head to easily. Either way, its a much better translation imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Do we know which is more accurate to the original Japanese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 Do we know which is more accurate to the original Japanese? I always tend to give it to Manga Stream. I'll see whats used in WSJ next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 I never uphold Manga Panda as the accurate translation when comparing it to something else, especially MS. So good stuff this week, especially with upcoming Luffy/Law vs Doflamingo. That should be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulish Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Thought Bartolomeo was a bit of a beast in this chapter, also glad that this chapter kinds secures Rebecca as NOT a future Straw Hat. Good to see more of Fujitora's abilty as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I don't believe that I ever thought she'd become a Straw Hat, I figure she'll have to stay behind to help the kingdom once they beat Doflamingo and his gang and let the Riku family take back control, and she'd just be an honorary Straw Hat like Vivi. Assuming the best case scenario happens.

Fusion X. Denver Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 It's just a shame she (probably) won't since she lined up with so many parallels.She could have formed 3 Musketeers with Zoro and Brook (maybe pick up Kinemon's fire trick within an arc or two for fire/ice swordspeople).She'd fit with the other girls regarding how Luffy took on and defeated an oppressive organization in order to save the land, later gaining them as crewmembers. Betting Luffy will gain a bounty increase after taking down Doflamingo too, so you could add that too.She made friends with Luffy before the other Straw Hats.She's got a tragic backstory (though it's not as in-depth or long as the others, except for Brook). I do feel like she hasn't gotten as much time to shine as other members because of the plot and other circumstances, but then again the same thing happened to Brook and people grew to love him eventually. Though yeah, she's probably more like Vivi at this point now that I'm thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghoulish Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 To be honest I didn't find her fighting style interesting at all. She basically used the opponent's weight against them, she couldn't really do much with her own strength which is kinda disappointing cause she looks like she could have been a pretty bad ass female character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 To be honest I didn't find her fighting style interesting at all. She basically used the opponent's weight against them, she couldn't really do much with her own strength which is kinda disappointing cause she looks like she could have been a pretty bad ass female character I actually like it. She doesn't like fighting or hurting people, so she uses their own strength against them to simply incapacitate them at that works for her character. Its not useful for real battles, but in the arena it did exactly what she needed it to. I do think that if she did cut lose, she could be pretty powerful given who her dad is, but, again, not who she is. Also, reading last weeks WSJ and I'm even more accepting of Rebecca running away. The look on her face when she sees Diamante is "O god, not you, anyone but you" and I wouldn't expect someone with that look of terror on their face too be willing to fight the source of the terror. I think I forgot about it because of how AMAZING the first panal of the last page looked. THATS how you end a chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
