Happy holidays, guys! Here's a little spoiler summary, courtesy of AP's Redon!



-Chapter title is "Cabbage & Lomeo". The ministory features the appearance of Wadatsumi (that fish-giant guy from the mermaid island arc, remember).

-Kyros and Rebecca are still facing Diamante. Meanwhile, Gladius uses his ability to blow up the ground, then goes after Robin. However, Bartolomeo protects her (apparently, he's set on fire from Gladius' attack).

-Dellinger defeats Ideo by charging at him with his teeth (kinda like Arlong/Hody). Apparently, Dellinger attempts to back up Gladius, but he gets intercepted by Cavendish (now in his "Hakuba" mode) and defeats the half-fish boy with with a single strike....

Well ofcourse Santa didn't leave any spoilers. He doesn't want you peeking at your presents

[Gintokifan22]

I hope Oda doesn't focus on the side characters again, we need to move forward with the main fights and characters people.

I'm starting to think Sanji and his group died :/

Will likely get the chapter same time like norm.

[ArabianLuffy]

Sounds like really really no chapter until January. Well duh! The man would celebrate Christmas. -__-

[marvelB]

Spoiler is out, guys! Also, check out the SBS thread for some fun info!

Unfortunately, your hopes are dashed, considering the content of the spoiler summary, lol.

[Stark700]

Not really a big fan of Cavendish but damn, that is one hell of an attack.

[Randrak42]

That was an incredibly fun chapter for me...every time Barty is on screen I consider it a win (since I really cannot stop laughing). Not to mention the fantastic synergy between Cabbage and Barty xD

[marvelB]

Huh, this chapter felt a bit short. But then again, most of the action-centric chapters feel that way to me, heh.


Cavendish and Barto make an interesting team, though. Also, big lol at Barto wanting to be Robin's slave!


Edit: Actually, seeing Dellinger bite Ideo got me thinking: Why doesn't Bart put his fangs to similar use? I mean, he's even known as the "cannibal", is he not?

[The Small One]

So we have one executive going down per chapter. At least the fight is coming to an end soon.

I'd think its easy to assume that their would be a difference in jaw strength. Dellinger is half-fishman and what we know from arlong is that carnivorous fishmen have very powerful jaws. Barto might have sharp teeth but he's still human.

[~Yami~]

finally more and more executives are beaten...

Robin's wink = power-up to every man

hearing word about not letting Rebecca holds sword anymore indicates there is no way Rebecca would join the crew
She would succeed the throne and become like Vivi.. sigh..
well, I'm not complaining if Barrier-dude joined though

[P_Dezz]

I really wonder who's taking out Trebol. Probably Luffy (seeing Trafalgar in his maimed state), with a one shot in front of Doffy, to show him what's up, and get the fight going.

yea i liked it quite a bit. barty is my new favorite comedic character of the manga.

dellinger is easily one of the creepiest characters ever for me. i'm also surprised gladius made it through the chapter. i assumed both would get beat by cabbage on the last page

Chapter 772
That was a good chapter. I would say Rebecca should join her dad and help if she can keep herself from being a liability. Cavendish’s should have two bounties. He himself is worth 280,000,000 and Hakuba should be worth at least 500,000,000. That would be heck of a catch two bounties in one. Bartolomeo should be on guard because Hakuba is in control and anyone is game when he is around. That would be cool if Hakuba(not Cavendish) went after Zoro. Poor Dillenger he had strong momentum in couple of chapters then lost it all at the end of this chapter. Gladius should run has fast has he can.

Honestly, I'm not really surprised that Gladius is still standing at this point. He's proved himself to be one of the most formidable and dangerous of Dofla's "lower" officers, after all. He was strong enough to withstand an attack from Luffy earlier, and he's quite skilled at setting up explosive traps for his opponents (as evidenced by his making the ground explode this chapter). I'd say he could actually give Hakuba-mode Cavendish a good run for his money, at least as long as Bartolomeo doesn't involve himself in the fight (but they're technically taking him on together, so.....).

[grey_1960]

^
Depending on how this goes and how long Hakuba lasts the fight might be Gladius and Bartolomeo vs. Hakuba. Personally I don't think Gladius and Bartolomeo combined could beat him. If this is Hakuba vs. Gladius then my bet is on Hakuba.

[II Maestro]

Lol at Bartolomeo & Cavendish~!

[Rainbowman]

We're one defeat closer to Doflamingo's fall this chapter.

[itachi-san314]

i really hope rebecca winds up defeating diamante. it's pretty insulting that she trained for so long to become a great fighter and now her father is telling her to basically stay in the kitchen. i'm hoping kyros eats those words and reconsiders tying an apron around her waist

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? Rebecca lost her mother and her childhood because first her father just lost and was turned into a toy for all those years. Ending up fighting battles all her life that she shouldn't have had to fight. The realistic goal is to end things so she won't have to fight and once things are cleaned up here that should be fine. She didn't train to become a great fighter, she trained in order to not die.

But yeah, let's just say not wanting her to fight in brutal battles against monsters means not letting her do anything. Seems like a pretty common "I don't want my kid to live the life I have" kind of thing.

It'd be nice if Rebecca could play a role in beating Diamante, but who knows. She's done well, but that guy is on another level. She's struggled against weaker opponents. Might as well leave this one to the famous monster of the arena.
