Actually, that made me think. What if the reason is because it's part of law's plan with luffy and the others? In other words, there's some reason to not defeat Monet because she's still needed at some later stage?

Awesome chapter!
This fight with Monet has been my favorite battle of this arc. The entire arc has been full of chaotic running battles with different groups of people colliding into each other, but somehow Oda manages to continue upping the ante. And Sanji's line about how Zoro was a conceited guy made me lol.

So now Monet has also acknowledged that she can't beat Zoro, and that's considering the fact that Zoro is clearly holding back a good deal. Tashigi's intervention should prove interesting. If anything, she should deal with Monet herself so as to redeem herself after her humiliating loss to Law.
Caribou's rescue was to be expected, of course. The G5 base really is filled with a bunch of incompetent weaklings. Luckily for the two brothers, it looks like Jimbei has long since departed from that area.

BTW, I forgot to mention earlier how highly amusing I found it that the chapter translators used "spunk" instead of "spank" for Robin's attack name. That.... would be mighty awkward if that were accurate.

Yeah, I brought up Jinbei in an earlier post, myself. If he's really nowhere nearby (and G5 doesn't have any more decently tough marines left), then I wonder what other obstacles will be left for the supernova bros? Actually, come to think of it, I wonder if those guys from Big Mom's crew may be close by? They might not be that far from G5 since they left shortly before the Straw-Hats did..... |

^But my point is FROM WHERE EXACTLY are they watching Caesar's experiments from, though. Like, are they watching it from their ship hundreds of feet deep in the sea? Or from somewhere near PH? Or near the G5 base? THAT is what I'm wondering.

Still, not a good excuse. Zoro is quite familiar with Haki, and he should be, after training with a monster like Mihawk. And the most crucial defense against the logia users we had seen so far is haki, or more like haki enhanced skills, especially sword skills. Zoro should be capable of using such skills. It is not like he needs to destroy the surroundings to make it work. Hopefully we'll hear more about this in the next chapter.

Monet looked pretty damn fine without her harpy legs.
As for why Zorro is holding back ... I have no idea. I'm pretty sure he can use the armament haki though. I mean that development can be traced back as far as alabasta. Plus a chapter or two ago, he literally said 'she's a logia, leave her to me', which would indicate that he can deal with this type of enemy now. The next chapter should explain what's going on.

Hasn't mentioned of there being an Island near G5 but near the marines is never a good idea. Quote:

NEW WORLD BABY~!

Wow, can't believe Caribou was actually rescued. I was expecting his brother to fail, or spontaneously explode looking at his track record~
The more and more we see Monett, the more I'm really enjoying her character.... alot of the characters in this arc just stick to me for some reason. Vergo with his tendance to forget things, not to mention the whole food on his face things... now Monett being embarassed by complimants... I'm lovin'' it~ <3

Chapter 686
That was a okay chapter. I hope Zoro is not coming down with the Mihawk syndrome (the attitude of your not worth my time unless you peak my interest or you are a challenge). Sanji, Monet, and Zoro are pretty funny together. I never thought snow Logia could be lethal but monet did it. Tashigi getting to fight is cool for a change, but will the fight last? I won't be surprised if Baby 5 and Buffalo ruin the fight just when Monet is about to get beaten. |

More like, Zoro will only parry/block Monet's attack while Tashigi will be the one who actually try to strike Monet down. I really wonder the reason behind all these |

i doubt it. zoro wouldn't have bothered to stop monet at all if he thought she wasn't worth fighting. zoro doesn't seem to care who he fights. if you're weak, then he'll just quickly get rid of you and move on. if you're strong enough to challenge him, then he'll enjoy fighting you, he'd just put more effort into it.

Probably over reacting here.. But..
Uh why is Zoro not fighting? Was he told not to or is it his philosophy? I imagine Zoro having all the types of haki but I wonder now. Perhaps the next crew member will be the first mate? Man thats tough to swallow. |
