Chapter was hype.

Also Robin got the hots for Dragon.

Spoiler

Something something D

 

[igordennis]

Lol i love captain jack.

 

[TheGreatDirector]

There is

I'm betting it's Aokiji.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I'm betting it's Aokiji.

It's Jesus B!
According to the wiki.

 

[Chariot]

I don't think Aokiji wants to command anything after his time in the marines. He strikes me more like a freelancer.

 

[Newtype-001]

I also thought the dragon was kinda cute..@.@

Yeah we know he's working with BB, but probably not directly under him imo

Oh yeah I forgot about that.

I still Aokiji is a Blackbeard pirate though. A person of that caliber would definitely solidify Blackbeard's position as a Yonko.

I'm also unsure of why Blackbeard would attack the Revolutionaries. Perhaps he actually wants an alliance with them? I don't see a reason for two big enemies of the WG to fight.

Just because they're enemies of the WG does not mean they are on the same side.

BB as a yonkou was all but guaranteed since he took down WB. Plus he's doing his df hunt as well, and the Kuzan alliance seems recent based on what we know and Smoker not being aware of it

 

[Veelk]

Why then did Zoro leave Doflamingo to Luffy? He was constantly saying "hurry up Luffy" when he was perfectly capable of helping him after getting rid of Pica. Zoro delegates the responsibility to the captain.

Oda loves his matchups and patterns.

Because doflamingo isn't a sword guy

 

[Aaronrules380]

Yep, and we know revolutionaries are attacking the black market anyways. Plus they probably have a bunch of strong fruit users and BB is currently hunting those

 

[Chariot]

Yeah we know he's working with BB, but probably not directly under him imo

And I suspect that this could be an elaborate ruse and he is actually in deep cover.

BB doesn't have beef with them, but he probably wants their shit. They are currently the ones gotten the most out of Dressrosa. Winning anywhere, they probably instantly raided all major shipment, there is a lot to steal.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Kuzan has some greater goal so he mostly likely just using the BB pirates .
I doubt he really join them in that way .

I mean this much is obvious regardless

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I mean this much is obvious regardless

Yeah that's guaranteed but I feel to gain BB trust he would actually join his crew.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Wonderful chapter. I love the strawhats having fun with it all, as well as all the behind the scenes shenanigans.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Just had an idea. What if Aokiji is actually going undercover in the BB crew as part of the revolutionaries? And that Burgess will discover this at the leader meeting

 

[NSESN]

While Zoro is by far the second strongest strawhat, Usopp and Nami seem more like a second in command to me than Zoro.

 

[Korosenai]

Blackbeard pirates vs revolutionary army. I can't contain this hype.

Though if black beards second in command got wrecked so easily by sabo, then I don't see the rest of them standing much of a chance.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Yeah that's guaranteed but I feel to gain BB trust he would actually join his crew.

Really can't see Kuzan working under anyone there .
Hell his is mostly likely stronger than everyone there minus BB and them ordering him around would seem weird .

 

[Syntsui]

That would be hype as fuck.

I think Aokiji is weaker than the ex-Impel Down guy. He seems like the strongest by raw power to me. However Blackbeards darkness power could put Aokiji in enough peril for him not to try. The rest though.... probably not.

 

[RPGamer92]

I'd say him and Garp making a place to help Luffy is more plausible than him working with Dragon.

 

[bjork]

Nami yes.

Usopp no. Zoro could back him down too easy.

 

[Aaronrules380]

I don't think Aokiji is working with Garp, who should just be teaching young marines
I'm fairly confident that Aokiji isn't working with anyone in the wg based on his talk with Smoker

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Could be true but don't forget Kuzan was taking on Jozu and raw power wise i don't think we seen anyone stronger than him .

Nami yes.

Usopp no. Zoro could back him down too easy.

Yep nami would punch him into submission or give him no spending money for alcohol lol .

We haven't actually seen Shiliew do anything so far, though. In a straight up fight, we know Aokiji could just freeze him instantly. Hard to fight when you're immobile. But maybe this dude is super strong, he didn't get to be a top member of the crew by being scrubby.

 

[Nocebo]

Aokiji being part of the revolutionaries would be great. I think it would make a lot of sense too.

We've seen that strong guys like Doffy can break out of the freezing though without help

 

[Aaronrules380]

I mean, I'm not sure it'll happen, but it makes a lot of sense and could work with what they're doing now

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Well that could be thanks to his DF remember someone said it did not freeze his heart and we know don could use his DF on his insides .
Both WB and Don had DF that help with that so i won't be sure about anyone else .

 

[Aaronrules380]

Not sure how strings could stop his heart from freezing? Insulation?
Haki seems more likely

Yea i know and i dont think anyone expected this too.

I never read any thoeries on bb vs rev

 

[gundamkyoukai]

Insulation would make sense since we seen him put his insides back together with his DF .
Haki won't make sense IMO or don could have use it to stop law from destroying his insides .
Either way it all guess work .

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

In the final Blackbeard vs Straw Hat battle, I imagine Zoro will fight Shiryu and Sanji fight Burgess. Usopp take the sniper guy and Chopper the doctor.

 

[Grexeno]

Fucking dying at Law also getting the "that's so fucking cool" face at the mere mention of a ninja.

 

[Rebel Leader]

-Kiado
-Rob Lucci
-Burgess finds Revolution HQ
-Jack(?) about to attack and Doffy's escort
-Mink
-Ninjas


Got damn amazing set ups in the past 5 chapters

 

[Aaronrules380]

Law's ability seemed to be unblockable, so I doubt Haki would help. Putting his insides back together doesn't make sense as a way to block being frozen, since his insides wouldn't be broken or torn at all from freezing

 

[Aaronrules380]

In the final Blackbeard vs Straw Hat battle, I imagine Zoro will fight Shiryu and Sanji fight Burgess. Usopp take the sniper guy and Chopper the doctor.

I think Sanji's opponent will likely be one of the level 6 guys on the crew. Burgess seems to be one of the weaker commanders of BB based on what we've seen of him and what I'd expect from an endgame opponent of Sanji, Zoro, Jinbe, etc.

 

[Syntsui]

I keep my opinion that Burgess is fodder and Laffite/SHIRYU are going to kill him.

Really? He kind of look like Blackbeard's right hand man to me. Just not strong enough for Luffy and Sabo.

Maybe you're right though.

 

[Aaronrules380]

Really? He kind of look like Blackbeard's right hand man to me. Just not strong enough for Luffy and Sabo.

How so? I imagine BB's divisions are like WB's where the numbers have no special significance (Marco was number one yeah, but that was most likely a coincidence since Oda said the number was arbitrary)

Burgess could always get a DF to power him up plus he face sabo who seem to be a monster best not to judge him on that .
It's like judging Sanji after he get taken out easy as hell by don .

 

[Chariot]

Sanji needs a cook as enemy and go all Shokugeki on that fool.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

He's always been the second man we see and Blackbeard did send him to Dressrosa. Looks like the guy who's always been there.

Breaks out of ice just in time to get an ice spear through the heart/face/ass/whathaveyou

Definitely a strong possibility, given BB is hunting strong DFs

 

[Kornflayx]

Considering Sanji in the new world, it would be appropriate that he gets the dude that got fodderized by Sabo.

 

[jackal27]

Oh man these chapters have been great. I always love these post-arc chapters that establish what's happening around the world. This new arc is already getting interesting as well. It's been great to have One Piece back in full swing lately.
