Specifically, if Luffy was always with Rayleigh, then nothing Luffy did would surprise Rayleigh. But now that we know that there is a 6 month separation, Luffy can show some insane move/technique that no-one knows about, and Rayleigh, as a potential spectator, can comment on this new technique that he had no idea about, etc. The 6 months is there for Oda to pull out anything he wants.

That being said, I loved Fake-Franky’s and Fake-Robin’s designs. In fact, all the Fake-Strawhats were great (they stole the show, though the first few moments with Luffy and Hancock were hilarious).

Speculation for next chapter: Luffy will escape from Fake-Luffy while not revealing himself; Zoro will be shown (meeting up with Sanji presumably); a better idea as to who is after Robin will be shown; and Franky will attend Brook's concert (hell, I want to attend Brook's concert). No reveal yet, but the characters will start to converge on Thousand Sunny again. 600 will be when they are revealed and the Fake-Strawhats begin to cower

the servers aren't doing too well I see

sloooooooooooow

but , YES FINALLY

cors8 · 2010-09-30, 09:12

Love the new Robin and Nami.

Usopp and Chopper might no longer be part of the weak trio but they're definitely still part of the gullible trio.

Kallen4life · 2010-09-30, 09:19

robin = HOTNESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

fake!Robin & the fox cracked me up

fertygo · 2010-09-30, 09:27

I don't like Nami new looks

DJ Trouble · 2010-09-30, 09:34

So Boa has been officially rejected as a new crew member.

I am sad.

randomlex · 2010-09-30, 09:53

What a great chapter! The fake Robin is just freaking weird

, while fake Zoro and Sanji reminded me of Beavis and Butt-Head

.

So the real Zoro and Franky went straight to the ship a few days before the others got there. I am now 99% sure that Franky's gonna make Zoro a cyborg arm. He also looks beefed up on that picture (didn't notice the big metallic-looking hands and scars on his chest in the low-res posted here before)!

Everyone else looks great, too, and poor Sanji finally escaped from his personal Hell

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSS!!!

SOOOO GOOOD!

:

I loved it, I loved every singe panel and every single detail...damn, it was SO long wait but it was worth it!

Chapter was AMAZING! BRILLIANT! I cant pick what I loved most but everything was amazing, I love new looks of Strawhats!

GREAT CHAPTER!, oh jeez I am shakin...

morbosfist · 2010-09-30, 10:02

Fake Straw Hats will soon get their asses kicked, then the Marines will likely show up and arrest them for good measure.

Nami was awesome, lighting up that entire building. Ussop, too. Guy is shooting man-eating plants at people now.

Bari_Phillis · 2010-09-30, 10:05

Such a great chapter I am tingling with anticipation of what Luffy will do. My bet is that he's not going to do a thing physically. Instead something along the lines of a wanted poster flying by or people just realize that he is the real Straw Hat Luffy. When this happens he's going to haki blast the impostor crew without "raising a finger" hehe. Should be epic.

tsunade666 · 2010-09-30, 10:07

Man! waiting for 4 weeks was an utterly pain but waiting for another week for the next chapter is just torture.

t3ck · 2010-09-30, 10:11

awesome chapter! epic! love Nami's new look. don't think Zoro lose one arm though. the full scan clearly shows he still have 3 swords. and robbing Zoro off santouryu is like making Luffy rubber man no more.

Prestige · 2010-09-30, 10:15

I wonder if Zoro lost his right eye? There is scar going through his right eye in color spread page of Strawhats.

But I think it would be ripping too much of Guts (Berserk) but its still possible.

Oh dear, chapter sites are under massive strain...

*FOUR EMPERORS* ? Instead of Three emperors its clear that someone has risen to take place of Whitebeard, is it Blackbeard, Marco or someone else?

Bonta Kun · 2010-09-30, 10:21

Oh man took me forever to read the chapter, the connection was pretty slow>_<

Well it certain was a awesome way to jump back into the story, I was all giddy with excitment when reading this.

I love how Hancock thinks of herself, it truly amuses me to no end

Well you won't get any complaints from me on the changes to the SH.
Luffy may have gotten a little plump and Franky may have lost some weight and Robin has somehow shrunk in size but well they are still the SH we all know and love

Oh whats that? They aren't the real SH, well you had me fooled!

But yea no complaints from me, Nami-swan and Robin-chwan are just

Sanji is still the same, his attitude is great as always "I NEED A LADYYYYY<3"

Usopp is well hard to say really, if he will still keep with his Sogeking persona then it's all good here.

Chopper's still quite clueless/naive about some things which is always charming

I wonder if we'll see a little something from Luffy next chapter in dealing with himself or would that be fat Luffy?

Oh the confusion, it's worse than time paradoxes

Also can't wait to see the deal with Zoro and Franky!

Kuroyuki · 2010-09-30, 10:23

I just read it, and...

Spoiler for zoro's arm:

Asides from that, I loved the chapter, especially the ending.

Luffy - I agree with Oda's choice to leave Luffy largely unchanged. It suits the fact that he is go-lucky, and whimpsical, which is reinforced by his relatively un-pirate-like appearance.
Zoro - waiting for his appearance, likely next chapter, to confirm my thoughts
Nami - Great, I especially like that she grew her hair, it makes her look even more feminine/mature.
Usopp - So-so, but I've never like his design from the beginning. He has become stronger, but I hope that isn't just his usual self-boasting.
Sanji - Thank god he didn't become part/all okama (sp?), I don't know what I'd do if he did. This brings about the question, were they all sent to islands in Paradise.
Chopper - No change, except slightly larger antlers. I don't mind, he, like Luffy, really isn't the type that has a need to look 'tough', since that slightly clashes with their design.
Robin - Very very good, I really like the look A LOT. Her new design brings out her natural beauty, much like Hancock, which, if you notice, they wear similar attire. IMO, this may be a slight concession to those who hoped that Hancock would be the next crewmate.
Franky - like Zoro, waiting for next chapter to carry full opinion.
Brooke - Good, very good, the switch from the musical style of an older age, to something more appreciable to the modern age is the perfect change for Brooke.

All in all, I have little to complain about, that for Zoro, Franky, and Luffy, I want to wait til next chapter to express how great/good/bad/terrible I think they've become.

noktown · 2010-09-30, 10:24

Btw look on the proper scan,Zoro's arm looks not as misssing as it does on a sucky scan,it could also look like missing,because we are looking into it too much.

Bari_Phillis · 2010-09-30, 10:25

Seeing the larger scan on the actual chapter, it doesn't look like he lost his arm. And I doubt he lost his eye.

King Lycan · 2010-09-30, 10:27

Yea I don't think Zoro lost an arm either, happy to see Sanji is still the same .

paradox13 · 2010-09-30, 10:37

Lmao, Luffy's reputation is being ruined D:

Where does it mention the Yonkou?

noktown · 2010-09-30, 10:39

Yeah everyone thinks now that Luffy's a cruel bastard,let the real Luffy take care of his fake crew ;o

They don't look like they can do anything(the imposters),i mean the fake straw-hat is carrying a gun lulz.
