Well to be fair doflaming scubed everyone else as well including law and luffy, It's an usual thing that the strawhats lose their first encounter with every main foe. Talking about sanji strength he is just a little behind zoro judging from the story so far.
I think we haven't seen him yet as an adult until yesterdays Special. I could be wrong though.
Don't think so either (stopped watching the anime when they went to < 1 chapter/episode), but the Episode discussions make me think it'll ony be a few more weeks until Sabo.

Watched the first 10 min then skipped all the way to this. LolIt's worth it if you stick around for the end credits.
Considering it's the Manga thread shouldn't have an issue posting these.

Is anyone expecting to see a power up for Luffy in this fight? A new gear version perhaps?
Possible; as far as I'm concerned, I still don't have the feeling of having seen Luffy's true power after the time skip.

Yeah I remember reading some stuff about Gear 4th when 3D2Y special was announced. Oda was hinting at shit so I wouldn't be surprised.
I would love to see some Red Hawk action though. Imagine that move performed when not underwater.
Should have watched it. It's nice for a One Piece TV special. It's nice to see One Piece with good animation for once. The final fight was pretty good.
He does it in 3D2Y. Looked way better animated than when it was used in Fishman Island.

This fight will be Lucci fight levels of epic. I actually cannot wait to see doflamingo put under some combat pressure.
We really haven't seen him stress in a fight. He seemed to handle Law with relative ease, Heck even when Aokiji was standing over him and then freezing him he seemed to shake it off with confidence.
Another thing I'm curious about is if he can maintain bird cage while fighting at full strength or will be be forced to drop the cage when being pushed.
Hmm I can't stop thinking about all the possibilities! And that's just one of the fights....

Someone made a really cool gif out of the Usopp scene from the last chapter.
Big Spoiler for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

It's a homage to Ace. I think it's more of Luffy overheating in Gear Second.
Ouch!
So nothing more. And here I thought it was really some fire abilities that he got from Ace (which would be stupid).

I don't know what's going on with oda but he really needs to step it up with my man sanji. I'm honestly dreading when we get back to the big mom pirates and sanji's group. I'm willing to bet sanji's group loses or get's captured. Either that or jinbei or law's crew come along and help the strawhats out. Also i wouldn't put ussopp above or anywhere near sanji tbh. His sniping skills are great and only going to get better, but sanji has way more raw power and endurance that ussop and is a powerhouse for the strawhat pirates. Hopefully sanji gets a badass mr prince/hunter moment soon.
I don't think we've seen luffy or zoro's full power. Zoro might actually be stronger than luffy right now, but I expect luffy to get new power ups (new gear or something).

I personally think we haven't really seen Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji's true capabilities yet. Sure, Luffy beat the shit out of Don Chinjao and stuff, but he didn't really break too much of a sweat. Sure, Zoro scared the crap out of Monet and demonstrated his ability to cut her with Haki, but he hasn't really broken a sweat in a fight yet. Sanji has fought both Vergo (One of Mingo's top executives, but Sanji was weakened by the poison and Nami being in his body for a while at the time I believe) and Doffy, and I'll admit, he was no match for Doffy. The only Straw Hat that would stand a chance against Doffy is Luffy.
And to people saying that Sanji is weak? Please. Have you been paying attention for the past 15 years? Oda quite obviously spells it out many times: Sanji is much closer in "Power Level" to Luffy and Zoro than he is to the other Straw Hat pirates. He may not be equivalent to Zoro, but he is definitely in that realm. They are painted as rivals for a specific reason.
Also, I subscribed to this thread because I just caught up in the Manga yesterday. I watched the entire show last year and have been anime only since July and got sick of avoiding spoilers (I got spoiled that Sabo returns, however I never got spoiled for anything else like the fact that he eats Ace's fruit which was fucking badass) and I chose a hell of a time to catch up. What a wonderful world and story that One Piece is; I'm so glad my buddy introduced me to it last April!

-New Villain is introduced
-Quick Recap of Marineford (Ace's Death)
-3D2Y revelation for Luffy
-Haki Training with Rayleigh
-Boa Hancock adventures with Luffy to take down New Villian
I personally really enjoyed it. I wish we would have seen more of the Straw Hat crew, but that's just a nitpick. It's mainly about Luffy overcoming Ace's death and mastering his Haki.
Volume 75 is out in Japan. SBS info is starting to come out.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
This. Sanji is seen as weak because he hasn't gotten moments that highlight his strength like Zoro has (Whiskey Peak, Thriller Bark, being a Supernova). I'm waiting for him to have a character arc that shows how capable he is. I honestly hope he's the one to take out Big Mom, or at least do something during that arc that's been set up.
What about Caesar Clown's age though?
I don't think Caesar is with Doflamingo or on his crew, he just makes smile for him. He's like a business partner.
Hm, didn't Doflamingo say that he is his subordinate? I just read such a thing on the OP wiki after checking for any new entries for Caesars age.

Sanji is not "weak" but he will be forever doomed to get third-rate bosses to fight against.
Also, Oda should really stop putting her female characters in absolutely ridiculous clothings. WTF is Rebecca even wearing for crying out loud.
Practically nothing!
Hard to completely trust the One Piece Wiki at times. They still force the use of "nakama".

Loose, exposable clothing. Just like the rest of the gladiators in the arena.
It feels like I'm the only person who notices this.
I just checked the chapter (713) and Doflamingo calls Caesar his "cute subordinate".
Oh, and I like Caesars disguise by the way. Loving the work some cosplayers have already put in replicating his outfit.

Yep a lot of the male gladiators just like her when it comes clothing so i don't see being a problem .
Nope. Shueisha's been cracking down on leakers so things will be delayed from now on.
Try Friday.
This applies to all of Jump.

To be fair, I don't think we've seen any of the straw hats true power after time skip.

I believe Usopp may have been the first, actually! That was a fucking awesome moment.
Hahahaha, 3D2Y had full-blown filler syndrome. Awful animation (Hancock looks completely off for just about the entire duratiion of the movie (I think the only time her face looked right was during her fight with the old hag) and overhyped in the beginning ("Destroyer of the World") just to end up jobbing against Luffy. With the twist that he didn't JUST job against Luffy, but against everyone else at well. Akainu and Hawkeye wrecked his shit. No matter how much stronger he might have been 30 years earlier - not one scene in the entire episode made it seem like he could make the marine so much trouble that instead of calling a Buster Call onto his ass they had to ally with pirates. The only cliche check for hyping fodder enemies they missed was making him fight with Roger
Luffy charged up a punch directly at Law. Law enabled his Room and used shambles, which bascially allows him to swap things around within the room. He swapped himself and Donflamingo just before Luffy's punch connected. Law was safe and within attack distance of Trebol, Doffy had no chance to react to Luffy's punch.
That was amazing.
