hmm a more detailed translation of the chapter is up...
gomu gomu no scapegoat = pwn... poor buggy. And its the 5th division caption vs Mihawk the PX army seems over powered as since i'm not really sure what could beat mass laser beam spam. Curious to see the picture though as if it's really a army i expect hundreds to thousands of them.

But hell at least pacifistas are much better pawns than those weakling marines running away in fear... And yes if thats the entire plan its pretty much total failure.I hope Sengoku still has something in his mind..maybe pacifistas are just a distraction for a bigger event? That other spoiler is just a bit too much.Oda had a great chance to unleash the king haki on Magellan whose impossible to touch in melee but he didnt even thou there were loads of haki previews all over Impel Down arc.Why (no offense I know Mihawk is strong and blahblah) waste it on a normal non-devil fruit human like Mihawk? Correct me if Im wrong but the main purpose of Luffy's haki's is to get rid of logias once and for all, not to haki blast everything he comes across. Last edited by Rawrz; 2009-10-20 at 10:50. |

That part about Mihawk fighting a swordsman that he actually acknowledges sounds pretty interesting, and while im not a Buggy-fan, him trying to finish off Mihawk will sureley be a funny show to watch.
When it comes to an "Army of pacifista" i rather think in numbers of max 30-50... remember, each one equals the resources required an Battleship. Even if the WG/Marins have such masses on their disposal, the pacifista are still a secret project, and there have to be limits on how much money can be spend on one project... Also... there probably is only a limited number of bodies big enough to use them ? (given a large body is required to put such amounts of tech into it) |

My review: Luffy's fight with Mihawk only to have someone else fight Mihawk (good thing). Crocodile declines Doflamingo's offer then attacks him. Too bad. I wonder how Doflamingo would retaliate? As for Sengoku's plan (which involves the Pacifistas), he doesn't want to trap the major pirates. It sounds more like he wants them destroyed. BTW, I bet there was a random picture of the Strawhat crew rather than continuing the separation serial as there was no more mention of any mini-stories.

It is not a tool to defeat Devil Fruits, it is the measure of a person's will and spirit. The introduction of Haki and how it neutralises abilities is not to show that it is a key to defeating the Devil Fruit users. Instead it is to show that Devil Fruits are just another weapon that one can use to fight, but to fight one must have the will. Like fighting spirit (touki in Hokuto no Ken), which drives people to fight and defeat each other, ambition or dominating spirit, Haki, is the driving force for people to defeat all obstacles to reach for their goals. If your Haki is strong enough, you will not stop at any obstacle, you will get around them if you can, smash them if you can't get around and if the opponent is stronger than you, you don't give up until you die. You can say that Haki is fighting spirit in a broader sense. Read the entire Haki thread if you haven't.

Vista is going down. I wouldn't expect their duel to be very long. It will probably be something like Zoro vs. Ryuuma back at Thriller Bark.
Also, something tells me that Crocodile has set himself up for a big beating. He should've accepted Doflamingo's offer to team up, because now things are going to be much more difficult for him. Once again, he lets his pride and arrogance get the better of him, and thus I won't find it surprising if he falls soon.

Crocodile has no reason to team up with Dflamingo seeing as Dflamingo is, currently, on the marines side and marines are his enemies.
I hope that Vista will be enough to keep Mihawk occupied for quite a wihle even if he cant defeat him. Afterall, he is a captain on the strongest pirate crew in the world.

From what deltaxxmintpie has said:
Sengoku stops the broadcast Sengoku (If we broadcast this, the whole world might be against us… the only thing that needs to be broadcasted after is our victory) After that, huge army of PX shows up Something tells me that Sengoku's actions involving the Pacifistas may cost him his position. I wonder if Blackbeard would come around to reveal this plot as part of his plans to "shake" the world. |

Now that you mention it... thats a little confusing for me... why exactly would it be a risk for the Marines public reputation... if at all, shouldnt the people consider a powerful army of loyal robots a positive development, as long as they stand on the side of justice?
Sure, there is always the Terminator-Risk going on, but on the other hand, i can imagine quite a lot of people pissed at corrupt Marines... at the end of the day, why would a lot of pacifista be a risk to the Marine Forces legitimation? - Another indicator that there is far more to Sengokus plan than just pacifista... |

Man i not really a buggy fan but him trying to beat mihawk is to fuuny .
What even more funny is luffy saying he never forgive mihawk cause he think he kill buggy. The PX are monsters it took all the SH to beat 1. NW pirates are not depends on how much they are it going cause real trouble. |

Gah, I meant to reply sooner, but I overslept.... still, good to know that the spoilers were confirmed to be true. I'm really hoping that Vista is the Whitebeard commander who wears the top hat (he was shown to be a swordsman, after all). He's one of my favorite commanders, design-wise......
I love that the prediction of Buggy fighting Mihawk came true, even if the result was dead obvious (and hilarious, to boot! ). I definitely wouldn't put it past his followers to believe that he was merely holding back, though. Still, pretty interesting to see that Mihawk took an interest in Luffy's growth (I especially like how he recognizes Luffy for the influence he has on others, including former enemies). I'm still sorta sticking with the idea that Mihawk's testing himself as much as he is testing Luffy...... Quote:
Yep, I pretty much said the same thing myself last page. At least he would've had an easier time against Jozu with Doflamingo's help, but now he pretty much set himself up for a 3-way fight (at least, if Daz doesn't lend him a hand, anyway). I mean, I know that Crocoboy's distrustful and all, but goddamn...... By the way, I pointed out before that the first spoiler summary mentioned that the pacifista army was led by Sentoumaru. I still think it would be pretty neat for Luffy to have a rematch against him now. I know that guy's tough, but since he's not a Logia like Smoker (nor has he shown himself to be as much of a monster as Magellan or Mihawk), I think Luffy has a better chance of beating him this time around...... Edit: By the way, it seems that the ministory is truly over now, which surprises me. This would mean that this was the shortest ministory that we've had in the series by far (this one was only 18 chapters, while the standard length is 30). Well, I guess I can cross my fingers for that Foxy ministory now....... Last edited by marvelB; 2009-10-20 at 14:15. |

I am assuming a member of the seven would be better than Vista. But, I wonder who that guy is.
And, the part about Mihawk and Luffy seems to be getting more interesting. Oh, with Buggy added to the mix, we will get enough comedy in this one, which is always a good and welcome thing. |
