So between Mansherry and Law's powers was Doffy collecting powers that could do extensive healing for a reason?

He was collecting potent devil fruits & chess-piece like allies in general imo.

HE wanted to assault the Celestial Dragons and the Government in full force one day. I would say healing powers are a must.
Maybe you're onto something. Wouldn't be too surprised that he is planning to help somebody. It was already established, that he genuinely cares for his subordinates and friends.

Before you face the big boss, it's essential to stock up on healing and recovery items.
One Piece 775:
The back story for Señor Pink's attire was a nice touch and definitely gave him much more depth than the rest of Doflamingo's minons. That being said, it makes me question why someone like Pink would follow Doflamingo in the first place. Considering all the horrible things Doflamingo has done to Dressrosa alone, it's hard to imagine Pink not questioning some of his and Doflamingo's actions. Knowing Oda, we'll probably get a flashback with some hits of this later on.

Pink isn't necessary a morally good guy. He genuinely loved his wife, but we saw that he still was a pirate. Even if he values his loved ones, he doesn't have to value other humans. He probably went on raids and other criminal activity. Don Flamingo, while being a giant dick to most people, is shown to care for his comrades.

You're right but Mansherry was the official romanization written in the background a few chapters back. Hence why everyone is going with it, even Viz. It's probably only supposed to sound like Mon Cherie rather than be written like it too.

What are the chances Mansherry will heal Kyros' leg and Law's arm?
Outlook extremely good.

I still want Franky to build a cyborg leg for Kyros.

Law's arm maybe because it's still just sitting there but I don't think she can re-grow someone's limb unless I missed that as an explanation.

GODA doing work with this chapter, damn
can't law fix his own arm?

Seriously that was a clinic by Oda on graphic storytelling. That's some will Eisner or Jordi Bernet type chapter.

it just goes to show how important world building is
it connects all the weird things into its world's setting
Some series lack good world building which eventually suffers not only their plot but their ending too
I wasn't saying Pink was morally good, just that he is too morally good for Doflamingo, easily the most evil character's we've seen in One Piece. A regular pirates criminal activities are stealing and running from the Marines. Doflamingo's regular pirate activities are running slave auctions and creating artificial weapons.
For example, I really doubt Doflamingo would have been happy seeing Pink purposely lose to Franky to honor a deal. In fact, I could see Doflamingo punishing Pink if he had seen that in action in person. I can't see someone with a backstory like that and someone who cares about honor not at least flinching at some of Doflamingo's actions over the years. But again, I'm sure Oda will show this somewhere down the line if Franky and Pink are going to end up having drinks together.
So as Dressrosa gets closer and closer to finishing, do you all think the crew will get any new members? I can't even think of a position the crew even needs now, they already have the essentials (Captain, Navigator, Cook, Doctor, Shipwright) and most of the people who're becoming friends with the crew seem to be too attached to the area.
It's certainly odd, but I think that we will come out of this arc without any new crewmembers, even though there are sooooo many characters introduced that would fit in if just one thing was different.
Was about to say they should get a martial artist for their next crewmember, but then I remembered Jinbe. It's hard to think of what the last crewmember will be.

The world of One Piece is pretty messed up.

I liked the backstory, though fleshing out Señor Pink doesn't add anything to the story.
The fight was awful, however. One Punch Man might as well have come and ended it.

Eh, a man can a have a strong sense for honor and steal support slavery. Morals aren't universal. People aren't all positive traits or all negative.
And I don't think Doflamingo would really punish him, he would be like "eh, that's what he is". I really think he genuinely loves his subordinates.
Just imagine Kubo would do that for every character he farts out.
Yet. Don't forget that we are talking about One Piece here. A seemingly small thing could end up being a very important thing later on.
I deem (and have been of this opinion ever since the start of the Franky vs Pink fight) Senor Pink as a Mr. 2 type character, and frankly, even though he didn't know who Mr. 0 was and the extent of his plans and purpose for Baroque Works, he surely had a grasp of what's going since he already had the memory for King Cobra.
Yet we know what an honourable man he is and how much he values friendship and has been able to redeem himself many, many times over. It's hard to simply label people as good or bad in a manga where the protagonists are 'good' pirates and the Marines and World government are overall the 'bad guys'.
I just read the Chapter again and two things i noticed:
1.: I think Franky lost an Eye in that Battle. I don't think its anything new to you, but it seems like his left Eye (from his point of View) is gone.
2.: The hiatus could be longer than a Week. In the Mangatsream-Translation the Text said that they expect to continue in Issue 12. Did something happen to Oda again? I'm worried Guys.

But Issue 12 is two weeks from now.
Is it? Welp, but that makes my feelings just even more mixed. Especially that "Expected"-Part.
But this may just be me overreacting again.
Thanks for explaining though.

True, but the sad back-story right before getting KO'd is a textbook Kubo move.
You team "papa Sanji"?
Now that Naruto is done, when One Piece is on break all we have left is.........
Bleach. Eugghhhh

A bleach only week is really meh.
i said it somewhere else but i see her restoring an ancient weapon in the future. she will probably be forced to by the world government. it was said that dolflamingo knows something about the celestials and maybe that is an ancient weapon they have stored in mariejoa. could be that it does not work and doflamingo was planning on restoring it one day when he invaded mariejoa.
Even though there's no One Piece chapter this week, you can still watch this video and get pumped https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izNlKTCl_vE

There's always Toriko, which is my favorite jump manga behind One Piece.
