No no no, he's awesome because of his powerful arms being able to stroke the water so hard he just goes "FRANKY BUTTERFLY!". It was said that he was merely an assistant to Tom-san.
Now Chimney on the other hand is a 1/6th mermaid. So that's why she was able to save Luffy from Drowning. |

alright, great chapter i'm really happy oda showed some of the other characters. But what about the other ones???
We know- Nami- going to gain better mastery over weather Franky- weapons upgrades and such sanji- more conservative?- better respect for wormen- he will get training using his legs from kicking all of the girls and make knew techniques that can take out a large amount of enemies zoro-???- better swordsmanship? will he become "one with nature?" im betting he will learn to become more efficient with his attacks. Im betting there's gonna be a scene when he pulls out a dagger instead of his swords and cuts some guy up. ussopp- sogeking island! robin- on an island of knowledge. Possibly learning about the old history. something like this. Chopper- god, he's probably back on moria's ship knowing his character. maybe he will overcome his fear of things? nah, that would destroy his character. He'll either learn how to control his monster point or learn some new points on his own. I mean, the only thing he does on his own is... nothing, he uses his rumble balls. Maybe he'll come up with some techniques involving his devil fruit and nothing else... Brooke- we lost him, he's with the whale. Maybe he will come back riding it...

Heh, this talk about Franky's heritage reminds me of how a bunch of people assumed that his father was a Yonkou during post-EL Water 7 (which I highly doubt). I think Franky's just a regular ol' cybernetic human, that's all. So far, the only half-merman we've seen in the series is Big Pan from Foxy's crew, but who knows? Maybe we'll see more half-breeds at Merman Island. Heck, I wouldn't even rule out the possibility that Jinbei's a half-breed himself....
Oh, and I must say that I'm a bit disappointed that Hancock is the only one accompanying Luffy to Impel Down. I was kinda hoping that her whole crew would come along for the fun. I was especially hoping that Nyon would also take part in the Ace rescue..... oh, well. At least there's still that possibility that Jinbei will help Luffy, since he's imprisoned and has no intention to battle Whitebeard.... |

OMFG! I just love the running gags involving Sanji.
As for how he'll grow stronger I always wished that he would've learned the CP9 techniques but that's the past, other then survival skills I don't know what he'll learn on this island. |

I don't there is any better cure for boredom than War, hence the reason why Mihawk is probably coming along. Judging by the apperance of Jenbei, i'm starting to think more and more that one of the Emperor's is a Fishman as well. That freaky looking guy...with a huge grin on his face...just below Shanks.:

^Don't put to much credence in the shadows Oda uses. Just using the basic shape of the characters, Jinbei looks a great deal like one of the Yonkou, Yama or Satori or any number of heavy-set characters with long hair.

Y'knwo i really don't know why the world gov't doesn't want the shichibukai to take their crews along... i mean, those crews would contribute additional strength... sure the shichibukai are the only ones who can take on whitebeard and his commanders, but the crew could help wipe out everything else... The Kuja do seem much more worthwhile than Doflamingo's group from jaya... and if Moria still had Oz, that would have been a real contender; he'd probably end up crushing Moby Dick
There's one thing i find odd... is Whitebeard coming from the new world and heading over to the marine HQ/impel down/execution site which all seem to be located in the old world? cause if so, doesn't that mean that whitebeard WILL have to pass by mermaid island... The marines could really just prepare for the battle and just sit in front of the exit for mermaid island as that's supposedly the only way for pirates to get to and from the new world... no matter where Whitebeard intends to attack he will need to pass through there honestly, sounds like it may be a potential plot hole... kinda like how i feel about reverse mountain; the river up the mountain was too narrow to support a ship like don kreig's, and one would have to ask why the world gov't doesn't just put a huge gate/fortress at the entrance to control who could get into the grandline... if smoker was posted at the entrance, he could have busted Don Kreig himself Quote:

The way i would expect them to all go to impel down is if they heard the news about Ace and knew that Luffy would go running there... a likely possibility for them... though one would question how much they could learn on each of their respective islands if they leave asap... though it is possibly that who ever gives them transportation can teach them while they go... in a sense, if Oda wants them all to head to impel down and take part in it he may come off as rushing things... i mean it feels as though the strawhats should take atleast a week to learn what they can and improve upon themselves as opposed to only taking a day and moving out right away... Quote:
Grant it, considering the timing i think it's very likely that Whitebeard will strike at Impel down to free Ace and will conveniently show up at just about the same time as Boa and Luffy... Luffy can use that confusion to find Ace, and even Boa can use the confusion to allow for certain "accidents" to happen that no one will (mero mero)blame her for Luffy knows what Boa's position is like and what her status means for her people; her nakama... as such i would except him to refuse any help Boa may want to give, insisting that she does what she needs to do to keep her status... namely, maintaining the appearance of one of shichibukai... Luffy never did like the idea of anyone making a sacrifice for his sake Quote:
sounds like a theory for dumbing down how powerful Boa's Mero Mero powers are... as in the "illness" causes interference with her powers or something, thus crippling her for a long time |

I just had a thought: What are the chances that those "okama" guys chasing Sanji would know about Mr. 2 Bon Clay? And they told Sanji that Bon Clay is at Impel Down and they want to free him? Given the situation that Sanji is in, that kind of request will be the one thing he'll never refuse because he'll never get a say on it. LOLATWTTB

on the whole shichibukai not taking their crew, I think it would be just simply too much for the WG to actually handle.
its hard enough for them to handle the shichibukai alone, with there respective crews their it would only increase the burden on the WG. plus if such a huge pirate force to come together it could cause alot of trouble for the WG if the shichibukai decided to turn coat when WB strikes. I would have to guess that would be more than what the WG could ever handle. but its only shown that Boa isn't taking a crew hasn't it? I can't mind if it was stated other wise side note, I really really really hope we get to see Bon-clay-sama, I just love his character one of my fav of OP

Considering that Ace is the reason Whitebeard is moving now there is a very high chance that he will go to wherever Ace... So until the day of his execution, Impel down is actually the most likely place that whitebeard will be heading. Logically, that is probably where they should prepare for battle... and after that, wherever Ace is to have his execution... although there is no guarantee of this, hence why they are meeting and protecting the HQ until the can figure out where Whitebeard is heading... wouldn't be a surprise that if impel down was heavily protected that he would hit the HQ to cause confusion; those at impel down panic and scrabble to move back to protect the HQ and it just throws out any sense of strategy they may have had |

You're not reading this right, and you're probably not aware of certain unique expressions used in our language. どうしたと言うのじゃわらわは!! ルフィの頼みに逆らえる気がせぬ・・・!!! ・・・つい中枢に行くと・・・ しかし悪い気もしておらぬ・・・!!! the "悪い気もしておらぬ" is NOT a reference to the immediate previous sentence. She's not saying she has a "bad feeling" about going to Impel Down, nor is she saying she doesn't. It's not related at ALL. She's saying she doesn't feel uncomfortable about not being able to say 'no' to whatever Luffy asks of her. It's an extremely common expression in Japanese, when talking about reaction to one's feelings. Example: "好きだと言われて悪い気はしない" "I don't feel bad, being told I love you" "I don't feel bad" is an expression commonly used to mean you don't feel uncomfortable about certain feelings, usually either a compliment or romantic in nature. He called her hammock, actually. It's a sling-bed.
