This is where Robin shines through man...

I mean really, how good is a technique that removes body parts from someone who can simply grow more of them?

I bet he can't cut logia as Robin can't fight them neighter (back vsEnel).

Otherwise, it was Luffy's burst of desire and need at that point that knocked her out. If Rayleigh just busted through the wall and cause her to be knocked out, then why didn't Camie get knocked out as well?

As for the pirate symbol on the wall, it apparently is from Donflamingo, from this current episode.

I think buggy would be laws worst nightmare.

Replaces Eneru's skin with rubber... alright, I'll shut up now.

Like a logia user could be cut or someone could force him to stay solid after being glued to someone else.

At the current pace (1 chapter = 1 episode), this arc should be done in about 9 episodes.

^ Don't you post in the manga thread? You should know whats going to happen next....
I just hope during the fighting parts of this arc they go 1.5/2 chapter a episode or else it's going to be quite slow.

[seiji_kun]

While I'm loving the arc cause it's just to sweet. I wonder did anyone else feel the anime did one hell of a poor job with the Luffy / Kidd / Law stand off? Imo Oda actually showed how they owned in the manga bye not making them move one step and that they were quite equal. And here the anime just added some filler fighting crap where he gathers the bombs and saves Kidd & Law and a gigant whip or what it was again? That was a true /facepalm moment imo.

I'm under that impression to, just like he targetted everybody besides the strawhats afterwards. Cause tbh, I just can't see Usopp / Chopper / Nami taking it without passing out when even Law's third man(?) felt it. It could be that I just think to lowly of Usopp / Chopper.

Those anime producers have to be quite happy that they got so much material in one chapter. How much chapters do Naruto / Bleach need to fill one episode? At least to make a decent one. Even made me give up on watching Bleach. I do watch Naruto still but those fillers are mindraping.

Yes that was pretty pathetic.Im just glad that there are some kinda magnetic lightings popped out of Kidd's hand.It is now officially magnet magnet devil fruit.

I would have to agree with this. I mean the previous episode seemed so bad ass, the quality even felt better. It all seemed fine and I thought it was funny how thet were arguing which of them would deal with the marines, but I was disappointed. I mean we all know how strong Luffy has become, and Law/Kid are exceptionally strong too, but even though they had no trouble dealing with the marines, they just did not seem as strong as they could be. I might have to look into the manga (for first time) just to see the sheer difference.

399 has got Bepo action which makes it instant win!!!

Law's sword is huge!

Kuma returns!

not long for some Admiral action!!!!!

Finally...One more eposide left...I've been waiting for this moment for months

edit : After watching it more carefully I came to conclusion that Robin should have the highest bounty ever.She is just breaking and twisting everyone to death 24/7 and people say there are no deaths in one piece.Nearly in every eposide Robin breaks someones back lol

[Tommy]

The last two episodes have been a bit underwhelming IMO.

[Rawrz]

The hype from tenryuubito punch is slowly going off and new eposides are nothing great even thou the storylines capacity.Considering the anime teams laziness, next eposide will be filled with 10-15 minutes of Roger flashbacks from previous eposides.But on the other hand admiral's about to land, that should make things interesting.Just hope that they wont ruin the mans awesomeness with crap background music

also notice another great former bgm's revamp at Kuma scene XD guess it was from that LuffyxLucci filler fight back there.

ehh was that BGM revamped, sounded the same to me?

lol but then I've never been all that good at listening to things

I love that BGM tho, Enies Lobby brought on some of the best BGM I've heard in some time. Fits sooo well with the OP and glad they have kept with it, gotta love epic orchestra music.

I wouldn't underestimate the tenryuubito after all, they are very close to marines/wg and wouldn't be surprised if some admirals trained some of them or somebody else who is very powerful.

While some tenryuubito might be powerful, there's no way they'll be willing to be trained by anyone outside of their own race, not even if they are Admiral. Hell, as far as they are concern, they are the WG itself, and Marines are only their bodyguards and servents. They are what Oda have made them, THE WORLD NOBLES, why would they want to be trained under a commoner even if he is a Admiral? Being strong won't be a reason, Merman are biologically stonger than human, yet to them merman are just slave just like other commoners.





Anyway, back to the episodes, even though I follows manga, I still can't wait for episode 400.

What a tale it will be, the story of the bond between Rayleigh and Roger, the answer of the one question almost all OP fans has been asking since beginning, and IMHO, by using a single chapter, Oda not only made Roger worthy of the title "Kaizoku-Oh" he also made Roger the baddest badass character in OP.

[ellifeedn]

The next episode (400) will be awesome in many ways.
