One Piece - Chapter 767 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Spoiler summary is out, courtesy of AP's Redon and Aohige: -Chapter title is "Cora-san". The ministory has Jinbei wondering about the connection between the missing tribute for the sea god, the attack of the sea beasts, and the appearance of the ruins. -The chapter begins with yet another look into Doflamingo's past. We see a much younger Vergo, and who may apparently be Trebol, who tells Dofla that he awakened his haki when he knocked out the mob who were torturing him and his blood relatives. We then see the boy Doflamingo aiming a gun at his father, telling him he'll return to Mariejois with his head. As the younger Rosinante protests his brother's actions, St. Homing (Dofla's father) apologizes to both his children for being a bad father, and Doflamingo finally pulls the trigger. -Back in the middle of Law's flashback, the marines witness the scene of carnage within the birdcage, as the pirates slaughter each other. In a stroke of luck, "Dorry", the boy that Barrels was yelling at a couple chapters back, managed to avoid getting trapped in the cage, and escapes. We see a familiar X-shaped scar on his chin, confirming that he is indeed a certain marine turned supernova..... -Doflamingo confronts Barrels, who's shouting for Dorry (seems he was the strongest in Barrels' gang). When he finds out that the ope fruit is already gone, Dofla shoots Barrels, and his crew pilfer all the treasure he has. They're also searching for Law and Corazon, the latter of whom is discovered by Gladius. Law, as it turns out, is hidden inside of a nearby treasure chest, and is forced to listen as the crew punishes him for his betrayal..... -Doflamingo finally arrives to confront his younger brother. We then discover that as a boy, Rosinante was saved by Sengoku, which is how he eventually became a marine. He joined Dofla in order to stop him from committing any future tragedies, and apologizes. When Dofla demands to know what happened to the ope fruit and Law, Rosi answers that the boy ate the fruit and escaped from the birdcage, though the latter answer is a lie. Baby 5 and Buffalo report that they indeed gain intel of the marines rescuing a young boy, though they're all unaware that the boy in question is X Drake.... -Dofla orders his crew to attack the ship carrying Law, as he intends to have the boy serve him now that he gained his powers. He then asks Rosi why he got in his way, practically forcing him to kill his own kin again. The brothers then point guns at each other, but Dofla is sure that Rosi won't shoot, because he's soft like their father. We then get a mini-flashback of Rosi hiding Law inside of the chest, and assuring him that Doflamingo wouldn't kill him. He then uses his ability on Law, so he won't be heard. As he closes the lid, he gives the boy one last smile and tells him that he loves him.... -Back to the confrontation, Rosi tells his brother that Law will not become his underling, as he overcame his fate of death in 3 years. He is FREE now! These words cause Doflamingo to finally pull the trigger on his brother. As the chest containing Law is taken by Dofla's crew, Rosi uses the last of his strength to make sure that the boy remains silent, and says there's nothing holding back the boy anymore once he escapes..... which he does. As Dofla's crew make their getaway, they get caught in a tangle with Tsuru, and during the ensuing battle, Rosinante finally passes away. Law's voice finally returns to him, but there is now nobody around to hear him mourning for his savior..... Truly an emotional chapter, this. Corazon/Rosinante truly is a great character. I'm really gonna miss the guy now that he's gone. So I guess now the story will finally return to the present by the next chapter.... Last edited by marvelB; 2014-11-13 at 02:12. |

ROCINANTE!!!!!!!! RIP TT______TT Definitely one of the best flashbacks and side characters in this show :*( SO GOOD! And still to be continued? :3
Damn was that quite messed up for Rocinante. Having his father shot in the head by his brother while he's being hugged in his arms O_o The scene when he apologized to Law for lying about being a Marine was T^T DEM FEEEEELZ!! T^T Forcing himself to stay conscious so that his ability retains its sound cancelling effect because Law is crying his heart out until he escapes D: SO MUCH RESPECT right now! Oh and More confirmation that X-Drake was with those pirates...I'm guessing Dory is from Doraku like a nickname maybe? Shed a tear for sure this chap :*(

ah... Rocinante...
how could you still throw a joke and that smile when you know you're going to die Doflamingo really didn't deserve to have such good families.. he's twisted I'm sure now that Law is truly a good person... There's no way he's scheming something behind Luffy He just want to get revenge by ruining every single Doflamingo's plan |

BTW, I still think it's cool that Tsuru was the marine who gave Dofla such a headache in the past. Boy, she must have been real annoyed when she found out that the pirate she's been chasing for so many years became a shichibukai, heh.

The final page was so perfect. The very moment Rocinante fell silent forever, the spell was lifted and Law's heartbreaking cries were finally heard. I really like the panel with snow covering Rocinante too. Cora-san ;_;

While I found the initial chapters of the flashback to be a little cumbersome, these last two chapters have been quite great. Hopefully, though, the next chapter will end the flashback and we can get back to the present and find out what's going on.

Meaningful deaths always get the best of me in these stories.
