^This, pretty much. As I've also said myself, I don't see the monster trio beating an admiral any time soon, but at least now they're strong enough to hold them off for a bit. I do agree that Zoro did pretty well for himself against Isshou this chapter, but he should be careful to not bite more than he can chew when next they meet.....

Also, going back to Big Mom for a bit here, I'm actually kinda starting to agree with those who brought up the possibility of Sanji's group running into the Kid/Apoo/Hawkins Alliance during their adventure. I've already said before that I can see Luffy becoming allies with most of the supernovas, anyway. Maybe we'll see them along with the rest of Law's crew at Zou.....

My guess is, that the Samurai that went to Dressrosa with Kinemon and Momonosuke betrayed them and wants to become an underling of Doffy, but only in case he gives him Momonosuke.

I think it's more like Doflamingo found out about Kin'emon and his friend's mission through Kanjuro. I'm sure the samurai won't spill the beans, but he can't stop Violet from reading his mind. That's probably the reason why Doflamingo knows all their names and faces.

I think it's too soon for the Kid alliance to show up. They were just having a meeting the day before the SH's arrived at Dressrosa. I do want to see the sunny's fire power though, the same cannon they used to destroy a bunch of ships in the movie Z. Plus, I bet Baron Tamago still has the treasure with the bomb on his ship.

Why does Doflamingo want Momosuke again?

marvelB · 2013-12-07, 20:43

^We don't know yet. But we'll probably find out soon enough, seeing as Luffy's group are on their way to the palace now....

And before anyone brings it up: The water in the palace was seperated from the ocean so Zoro didn't have that Handicap there.

Sanji can move as fast as a fishman 7,000m deep so why can't he do so in 10,000m?

After reading those chapters again, the samurai were already on the run from someone before they ran into Doflamingo. In addition to that, Momo and Kin'emon only reacted once they heard Kaidou's name. Perhaps it isn't that Doflamingo wants Momo, but that he's trying to nab him for Kaidou?

That said, I'd like to know what became of the fourth samurai. At Zou?

Wasn't he using a coating bubble? I am not sure what moment you mean.

Sanji goes out his bubble to kick the kraken.

if they can't even fight against an admiral at this point in time and only able to "hold them off" I don't see any way the trio can even beat an admiral unless there is another time skip...
i mean... oda just can't boost them in strength for no reason right? That's what I felt happened in the Enies Lobby arc.

Veviticus · 2013-12-09, 15:55

Felt that way when luffy got his gear 2 and 3 out of nowhere

I'm not saying that the trio will never be a match for an admiral (or emperor), but that it's still a bit soon for them to be considered their equal. Remember, this is still relatively early in the Straw-Hats' New World adventures. They're all still pretty much fresh from their training so all that's left to do is to gain experience through their NW adventures.

But it's not like they won't be capable of taking down yonkou or admirals soon, either. That's why the pirate alliances are important. I mean, look at Law's strategy: Sabotage and weaken an emperor's forces, THEN strike. That's a great way to take down the NW's top powers without having to go through another timeskip. Fight with brains, not brawn alone.

And btw, we still dont know that big mom is on the ship, maybe that ship just big mom alliance or pekoms group..
And i dont see any relationship beetwen big mom and caesar,, can anyone explain possible theory why big mom want to seize caesar ?
And if franky really destroy the factory already, then the remaining key is caesar and momonosuke..

I thought of something cool if zoro ate the mera mera no mi he would be the flame swordsman and that would kick ass!

Nope, I if anything happen in the future I hope Zorro become a real great swordsman, and not relaying in the devil fruit power to develop or getting stronger.

Undertaker · 2013-12-10, 03:36

I doubt it as well, the intro of Kinemon and the samurai seems to setting Zoro up on learning how to cut flame or, imo, elements in general that would give him tremondous weapon against top logia type in addition to CoA. Getting the Mera Mera just seem redundant.

danielevo · 2013-12-10, 04:52

Where this week chapter spoiler ???

J4n1 · 2013-12-10, 08:44

Giving Zoro a devils fruit would only weaken him in the long run, and weaken the strwahats in the short run.

As for fighting admirals.
Not sure if the monster trio needs to get stronger to fight an admiral as such.
What they need is skill and experience.
Untill now after time skip hey have just overpowered any opposition through sheer power, now they just need to start using their power with more skill and tactics.
