Ahhh, ODA YOU FUCKER! Damn it all, so much tension build-up. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLANNING NOW?! Seriously, that man is a sadist. Of couse we all love him for it but darn it all I want to know what the hell Rayleigh got Luffy to do that is causing such issue. Also, will Buggy become a shichibukai? Man, I keep lol-ing SO HARD at Buggy and company. He just gets funnier and funnier and stupider and stupider and I love him all the more for it (and Shanks for fucking with him over the hat a few chapters ago).

Will Kuma be okay? I hope so. God, Kuma, it's all so tragic in some ways. Although, speaking of where Kuma is...ALSO LOL-ing at Duvall. Somehow that doesn't get old. And the plans for Fishman Island. WE MUST SEE IT FOR THE LOVE OF PETE! I DEMAND FISHMAN ISLAND TIMES. Also, with Shakky in this chapter, I suppose it shall indeed be Rayleigh and Shakky for photoshoot times on Saturday over Usodabada and Namifia.

Anyone else notice that Dragon and Robin had the same laugh? Was it a translator error. They both went 'fu-fu' in the scanlation I have. I like that Dragon's no longer in shadows or under his cloak. Very fitting and dramatic in some ways and also very Oda.

Robin and Ohara...I've been WAITING FOR THAT since we found out her past. I KNEW there had to be Ohara reactants. I'm super pleased about it too, if only because it feeds into all my conspiracy theories. Also, 300 hundred years on that damn bridge. Man the nobles/celestial dragons just keep looking like crap. I keep waiting for the old switcheroo but maybe in this instance Oda won't do it (although Sabo in some ways IS the switcheroo to a degree). After all Hannyabal came out of left field and made me ENTIRELY re-evaluate Impel Down and decide that, all things considered, Luffy did do some real damage to the average joe with his rampage. That might quite possibly be outweighed by all the good that came from inspiring Iva and company to leave, along with a bunch of schmucks following Buggy and thereby becoming ridiculous and largely harmless, and certainly not equal to what Blackbeard did, but still...

Crocodile, for instance. That man is looking PIMP. I still hate him and think he's completely evil but he and Mr. 1 are kind of cute in a weird way. Daz Bones is completely growing on me.

And yay for Vivi times! VIVI, I MISS YOU!

Finally, Sanji. Oh Sanji. Iva (who keeps on climbing in my esteem and he/she was already pretty high up there) needs to kick you around some more. It's just so...ridiculous how sad you are, Sanji. And how your despair makes me grin (what can I say? I like Sanji but he IS my least favorite Straw Hat and schadenfreude is definitely at work in his case.). I also noticed that Inazuma has bosoms again. Oda, I just want you to know HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE that. This whole gender changing thing is AWESOME and I think Sanji could take a lesson (about gender equality and women and how sometimes chivalry doesn't just bite you in the ass but makes you an ASSHOLE).

Anyway, great chapter in which we learned essentially nothing. Ah Oda, you are brilliant.

YES. THIS. It was hilarious and awesome but we didn't learn a damn thing XD

I'm also very happy Robin has found people who appreciate her instead of wanting her dead like everyone else in the whole damn world. That moment must have felt great, but at the same time, Robin didn't need anyone like that anymore because she has her crew &hearts

DUVAL had me in hysterics. I don't think I will ever grow tired of his attempts at winking.

I think the general guess is that Buggy was invited to be a Shichibukai, but then again Oda never does what we expect so I'm not going to hold my breath on that one. Although it would be HILARIOUS.

I ALSO DEMAND FISHMAN ANTICS! We need to get back into new island antics, it's been FAAAR too long.

Hahaha. Where do you get your source from? You seem to know what's going on even before most spoiler sites. Are you a prophet of Oda-san, here to spread his word? XD

Well, currently I'm just going off of whatever gets posted first to the one_piece comm, which is f-locked so it helps to join. This tends to be MangaStream or a link off of MangaHelpers.

I'm also grabbing it off of baka-updates manga on occasion when SleepyFans updates (since they don't have an official website that I can find). FrankyHouse occasionally has DL links as well.

I've had it in my head for ages that Robin and the Revolutionaries would have this sort of connection, so I'm pleased about it too. And yeah, I was also hoping Sanji would learn something from Okama island. I think Brook's situation is my favorite. Such a helpful Satan! But I was rooting for some Perona-Zoro interaction so I'm a bit sadface on that.

I wasn't terribly fond of the Sabo story either for some reason. It didn't feel right to me. Not sure why.

Overall though, rather excited they're all on the path back to Luffy finally. Hopefully. And still quite impressed with Oda's ever-consistent great writing.

Oh and I wanted to ask you where you get your chapters. Since onemanga's going down, I'm at a loss!

I'm grabbing the link that gets posted first to one_piece, which IS f-locked so you need to join if I recall. This tends to be to MangaStream or MangaHelpers at the moment. I'm also occasionally getting links for SleepyFans scanlations (who are the most recent consistant group used by OneManga) via Baka Updates - Manga. Sometimes the FrankyHouse Scanlation website (just google it) also has Direct Downloads, but they've been a bit behind lately.
