Just a small question in between... we all surely remember how luffy beat up crocodile back in Alabasta. Well... that was a Luffy without Gears, with "mere" rubber-hands and rather mediocre strenght.
Now we see crocodile taking a hit from a diamond-fist, thrown by the most likely physically strongest character we have seen until now in the manga (just remember the iceberg... well, garp may want to have a word in this too, but besides...?) ... and well, crocodile looks relatively fine after the blow. Is it just me, or does this seem like a little inconsitent when it comes to crocs endurance? |

Luffy even sent that Sea King flying first chapters of OP, Luffy only has been relatively slow. But no doubt Jozu's hits are worlds apart from Luffys and he probly had some kind of Haki involved to connect hit on Crocodile. |

Then we can have him praise Mihawk to be stronger than him (build up for later Zoro Vs Mihawk) PS: don't expect anyone would think Crocodile+ Doflamingo gonna lose to Jozu. Unfinished maybe, but most likely a lost to Jozu (physical sub character's not loved =/)

And while i did not expect him to go down in 1 hit, imo the strenght difference between Alabasta-Luffy and Jozu should be enough to seriously damage Croc with such a hit. But that would not be really entertaining and lame for the readers... so thats the question, got Crocs stamina pimped up by a large margin for the sake of a good battle? But AddiKtioNn-BlaCk has probably a good point, that Haki-hitting Logias might be different from water/weakness-hitting them. |

No seriously, even Whitebeard's at party and you guys forgot Shanks and Kaidou behind...The specific reason of forcing Mihawk, the least unexpected person of all those guys in there, must be the relationship of Shanks.Maybe Oda's just preparing the ground for Shank's flashy entry...Like appearing in last minute Rayleigh style only to kick Mihawk's killing blow. Also...Did Luffy just call Kuma a Teddy Bear? |

On a sidenote, what happened to Whitebeards 13ths (?) division captain that Doflamingo controlled previously... down already? That would be rather disappointing, but on the other hand it might just be too many characters to give such minor ones a proper defeat...

Chapter was awesome on so many levels.
So what fights have we got now... Hancock vs Smoker Ivankov vs Kuma Jinbei vs Moria Crocodile vs Doflamingo/Jozu and very soon Mihawk vs Luffy. Quite surprising that Smoker's weapon got broken, guess he'll have to rely on his devil fruit powers now. And Kuma is PX-0 now eh? I wonder what persuaded him to become a weapon of the World Government when he was originally a member of the rebellion?

Mihawk's attitude seems quite interesting. He seems to be trying to challenge Fate itself... more than actually challenging Luffy. He's basically saying: Will the Fates save him or will he fall to my blade - let's try and see.
The concept of Luffy being able to get past Mihawk in the normal course of events seems to taken as impossible If Shanks is going to turn up, now would be a good time!

I think this is luffys time to prove the world that he was truly dragons sons by matching up with mihawk...
this was his debut to trained his haki... or to attack using his haki not depending in his devil fruit power... then when he seccessfuly stops mihawk slash by his haki. it shall be decided that he was the golden boy of his generation. |

This was another good chapter. I wonder were this war is going to go and what it is leading upto?
Does Doflamigo have control of Jozu? Also Iva pretty strong. She is another person i underestimated. I just realized this if Zoro can cut through Diamond that will make him a very formidable challenger for Mihawk. This war in the one piece series could go on for year straight and never see any signs of slowing down. There are battles like smoker vs. Hancock, Iva vs. Kuma, Jozu vs. Croc and Doflamingo, Jembei vs. Moria and that not including the possible people to showup at the battle like Black Beard, Magellan, Rayleigh, Shanks, Dragon and any one else with interest in this war. You also have Ace, Marko, Kizaru, Akainu, Akoiji and etc. This will probably be one of Oda biggest arch in the series. I hope Oda show some of the ending results to these individual battle between the big players. |

The million dollar question is not so much "Is he a Fake?" (since we have 90+% confirmation that he is the real Kuma), but rather "Why would he would do this?" Whatever the case, I love Iva's line "No one can forget my face!" (paraphrased). That had me cracking up for a dozen or so seconds. Epic nakama showdown is brewing between the 2, and I do not know if I want Kuma "awoken" from his "sleep" or if I want Kuma to stay an automaton/zombie (Iva getting through to Kuma might be too cliche, but Kuma staying a robot might be too dark).

That being said, there is no way Luffy can defeat (or really even fight) Mihawk presently, so it will be yet another rescue or something similar... |

Y'know, Mihawk talking about fate is reminding me a lot of the stuff that Blackbeard's crew said about fate and destiny (Van Auger's line about there being no such thing as coincidence particularly springs to mind). But yeah, it's most likely that Luffy will be rescued again, it seems. I think I'll actually stick with the idea of Buggy being the one to (unwittingly) save Luffy, especialy seeing as he told his followers that he didn't want Luffy showing him up at Marineford (and he said he planned to make the world recognize his greatness anyway, so)..... But damn, that part about Kuma really is something else now that I read the full scene. For reasons unknown, he volunteered to become a tool of the government. A soulless monster of a weapon that only exists to tickle the government's fancy for all eternity. Surely, a grim fate that could be considered even worse than death. It definitely must be hard for Iva to have to fight against an old friend who lost every last shred of his humanity...... By the way, Hancock's response to Smoker's warning about her actions against the marines makes me even more certain that Amazon Lily will end up suffering the consequences in due time. I highly doubt that the higher-ups of the government will be as forgiving of her actions as her subjects of the Kuja tribe...... |
