Goodbye Moria, that was the final step toward utter failure.You should be lucky if you can stand against Don Krieg or goddamn Coby from now on.........
Too bad Phenomenal is banned, he should have been screaming about bad writing by now.But hey, I'll agree with our glorious forum troll this time. |

By the way, I nearly forgot to mention that while it's cool that we got to see the NW captains again in those pics, I couldn't spot Doma nor Makugai (the captains I'm MOST interested in). I hope that those two guys will be shown when the full chapter is released.....

That being said, the easiest way to confirm or deny the spoiler is if Marco and Kizaru actually fight. I persoanlly would still like some sort of flashaback of Luffy witnessing Rayleigh cut Kizaru, but even if the spoiler turns out to be fake, Luffy seeing Boa hit a Logia (which si pretty damn cool in and of itself, especially since it fully confirms that a Logia can be damaged by Haki) could be all the incentive he needs to finally learn the ability.

I think that is a little unfair. Jinbei has always held one of the superior positions (whether by fans prematurely elevating him there, or recently after seeing his amazing skills), so Moria losing to Jinbei does not negatively affect Moria's rep (whereas Moria losing to Coby would). |

Hancock is quite the impudent one interfering in Luffy's fight with Smoker. I'm tired of her whole love sickness crap. It's just like Momonga said; she's a spoiled little brat. If she thinks she can just get away with this, she's sadly mistaken. She had better brace herself for the consequences that await her and Amazon Lily sometime after this war is over. I hope an admiral (particularly Akainu) witnessed those shenanigans of hers and vows to deal out justice to teach her a lesson.

@The Small One: Excuse me, I meant more that Buggy can get out of seemingly impossible situations (which, in turn, is why we call him lucky ). Whether it be the improbable act of falling on an island after being blasted off into the unkown (during his intial meeting way back in the first 2 volumes) or, more recently, being imprsoned on the day (after not being properly categorized as a DF user) Luffy attacked Impel Down, Buggy has the devil's luck. While everyone may always survive being killed, Buggy always finds a way to escape any situation, something only really comparable with Luffy and the Strawhats.
@Blackbeard: Don't take your dissatisfaction with Moria out on poor Boa-chan.... Joking aside, while I love that she struck a logia (which instantly bumps her strength up, in my book), I do agree that she is acting too impulsively. Then again, this makes me very interested in what her story will be after the "war" (before I thought she would simply go back to Amazon Lily, and then maybe in an epilogue she could be with Luffy, but now that she has shown her true colours and has chosen a side, it seems almost impossible for Boa to return home (unless the island has some way of escaping the Marines hold over them)). |

@MihawkXGP - I hope you're right. It doesn't make sense for a warlord to be so easily beaten by another warlord. What would be the point in the WG recruiting someone so weak into the shichibukai?

Assuming there are any "permanent" deaths I dont think the marines will have enough forces to deal with amazon lily after this fight. My guess is they will be down to around 3-4 warlords at best, vice-admirals are going down like hotcakes, and if any of the actual admirals are put out of commission they wont have anything to spare. Regardless of how it ends I do not think the marines will have time to deal with Amazon lily.

Becasue he can still deal with 99% of the world's pirates (etc). Just cause he can't defeat the Top 1% (which is likely about 20 people in the entire One Piece universe) does not mean he does not deserve his position (if that was the case, none of the Shichibukai or Admirals would deserve their position considring there are so many strong pirates/revolutionaries out there). Being the strongest is not all there is to being a Shichinukai (it's good if they are, but not necessary when applying for the job). |

@James - I'm assuming that in those 20 people you're referring to, you mean the remaining 7 warlords, the 3 admirals, Garp, Sengoku, the 4 emperors, Dragon, Rayleigh, and a few others we have yet to learn about? If that's the case, having him inferior to such a small number of elites doesn't derogate his stature in the One Piece universe. Sorry, I used a poor choice of words there.

I like the way the fight is going. Finally, Smoker in action. Boa shows which side she belongs to (and a mini haki teaching session for Luffy is a good bonus, maybe making him create a gear 4). Kuma's real intentions will become clear, after Iva takes care of him. Garp again does not look very decisive, kind of not wanting Whitebeard to fall.
And Whitebeard's treatment for Buggy was well-planned, even though it was a sudden decision. He understands how to take care of kittens. I really wish for some strawhats to appear, if not all. Things will become a lot more interesting if they all become the center of the attention. |

About Amazon Lily, I imagine that the government won't attack the island right away. Case in point: Luffy's crew. Despite all the inconveniences they've caused prior to the Sabaody arc, the government hasn't taken any immediate action against them (that's bound to change after this storyline, but still). So the WG may decide to bide their time before they go ahead and eradicate the Kuja clan.....
...That is, until the world nobles get wind of a former slave of theirs protecting the same pirate that put them through such humiliation. Plus, when you add in the fact that the former slave in question is connected to Fisher Tiger (who was also a huge thorn in their side in the past), and you damn skippy they'll want retribution as swiftly as possible. Heck, I'll bet that nasty bastard Charlos will want to turn the entire island of Amazon Lily into his personal harem out of revenge. Y'know, I actually did suspect that Amazon Lily would be connected to the upcoming Merman Island storyline, and Hancock's actions this chapter would be a good excuse to make that possible..... |

I think at this point if Boa's tattoo can be seen by the Marines it may end up with the best result for her country. As a slave, she may be removed from leadership, hence, the connection between her and her country might be cut, even if it may be a superficial act. And, as a result, the connection between she and her country might be ignored by the government, and their whole attention can be given to Boa and her sisters.
At the time she was a kid, with her powers not very developed. And considering the time passed, unless someone remembers her from her past, meaning the nobles, it would be really difficult to track for her past. About the nobles remembering her, I doubt they will be very interested in a few kids whom they were merely using as entertainment pieces. At the time, they lost maybe hundreds, so, they were just a small piece of a bigger problem, and it must have been easy for the nobles to just forget about them. |

Well maybe, but really the point is that the WG will find out about her connection to Luffy, which would put her into a whole world of trouble to begin with. The nobles being aware of her past is more like icing on the cake, you can say....... |
