Once again, spoilers are here! As has been the case for these last few weeks, credit goes to Redon from AP for the summary:

- Chapter 713: "Usoland".
- A marine told Fujitora the guy with Law was Caesar Clown.
- Fujitora said that Caesar Clown can be remitted if he is the subordinate of the Shichibukai.
- Dolfamingo said that Fujitora joined the Marines through worldwide conscription and be considered as powerful guy, the same as Green Bull.
- Then Fujitora told Law that he is "black" if he allied with Strawhat or "white" if Strawhat is just his subordinate.
- "We are allied!" Law answered.
"Now I revoke your title." Fujitora said and then released ability.
- Meteorite fall from the skys. Law and Dolfamingo shocked. Then they used their own ability to cut and block.
- In Dressrosa Sanji called Franky and surprised at Lucy. Violet told Sanji the factory is located in the "Toy House".
- Back to Tontatta Kingdom. Usopp claimed his name is Usoland. Then Usopp and Robin found that there was a statue of Montblanc Noland.
- Leo told them Noland is their legendary hero.
- "Now we have legendary hero Usoland."
"Please lead us to annihilate Donquixote Family." Dwarves said.
"Uh?" Usopp smiled but there was sweat and snot on his face.

End of chapter.

Now THIS is awesome. Fujitora takes action, we find out the other admiral's name (Green Bull, huh? There goes both the Nue and dragon theories, then), Law is ballsy enough to admit the alliance straight to an admiral's face, and Norland is connected to the dwarves. Furthermore, Usopp is about to get his 8000 followers after all! Can't wait for the full chapter!

[LuxorMG]

What really interested me was the Montblanc Noland statue. Doesn't this mean Oda's making Skypeia significant again? Since 711 the mechanical toys were giving me Spacey vibes and the dwarves likewise... and now---

The man who was so important to the Sky Islands' beginning history (and subsequently, Enel and the Shandorian home on the moon) shows up again. I'm getting excited for what Oda is brewing up!!

[marvelB]

I also find the comment about Fujitora and the green admiral being drafted through conscription interesting, as well. So basically, they were forced to take up their position, rather than earn it by going up in rank? Or I guess this was an exception due to the changes brought about by Whitebeard's death and Aokiji's departure? Either way, this sure changes some preconceptions I had about how the marines' ranking system works.....

[LuxorMG]

Actually, it may just be Oda trying to show just how messed up the Marines under Akainu really became that Aokiji left and whatever else happened. There was nothing about conscription in OP before this, afaik.

[SilverSyko]

So what is "Green Bull" in Japanese exactly? That'll probably be this new admiral's moniker for now on. I get "Midoriosuushi" when I use Google translate but I doubt that's correct.

[LuxorMG]

^ CCC in AP speculated that it's probably not Midoriushi, which is certainly a mouthful and breaks the 3-4 syllable precedence for other admiral names. So he guesses it could be Rokuushi.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I was getting at when I mentioned the changes that took place after Whitebeard's death. I've no doubt that the marines under Akainu's regime have become downright Spartan.



And on another note.... I also find it interesting that Fujitora was willing to let a heinous creature like Caesar go scot-free simply because he was working for Dofla. Working under a warlord really DOES have its advantages, huh?

Apparently one possible way to read the name is "Rokuushi". But I guess we have to wait until either the raw is out or someone Japanese-savvy like Aohige can confirm the proper spelling.

[LuxorMG]

^ Since I can't (or at least, I don't think I can) post pictures of the manga, I link you to this post that gives the precedence:

So the current 3 admirals are Yellow Monkey, Green Bull and Purple Tiger?

[khoa1708]

so the marines found the new admirals through something like the draft? i would have thought a current vice admirals would be promoted... do they not have any faith in their own stock?

This also adequately explains just why such powerful individuals weren't present during the Whitebeard War.

Now I'm even more interested in just what Fujitora was doing 3 years ago .

The Noland statue sounds cool...I wonder how tall it is...?

Weren't the Shichibukai assigned by the World Government? Being equal to the marines. How can a marine decide this, moreover by himself?

Weren't the marines the ones who decided to do away with Crocodiles titles during that one meeting way back when with Kuma, Mihawk and DoFlamingo?

This is a set up for a revolt within the marines....

Yes I'm going to keep hammering on this till it sticks .



Any way it seems really promising but am I the only one who's confused by Fujitora's character? I really thought he was anti scum yet he seems to be leaving Ceasar and Flamingo scot-free... It sort of goes against what we saw earlier.
And I'm really liking the dwarves here, they seem to be well thought out with a little throwback to earlier in the series.

[Magin]

And we once again have a masterful throwback to an arc hundreds of chapters earlier... this is why out of what were the Big Three (One Piece, Naruto, Bleach), One Piece is the only one that I actually follow, since Oda actually knows what the heck he's doing.

Also, in relation to Skypeia, I've always felt that Punk Hazard seemed in many ways to be a much better redo of Skypeia (heck, Caesar is now one of my favorite villains along with Enel).

And as you guys have mentioned, I'm really curious as to what's become of the marines with Akainu at the top... while the idea of a revolt seems interesting, don't you think Akainu would've killed any dissenters first?

[Monster0]

Well,it is the common and safe Manga that it has been for fifteen years. Sailor Moon was more exciting.Why can't Luffy swim yet? well it take too much imagination to think of swimming lessons?

I'm not sure how to respond....

just say, please go read the other 712 chapters of One Piece to find out why Luffy can't swim.

Jinbei talked about it. Since Akainu became the fleet admiral, the Navy was given more power, including the power of the Admiral to revoke the title of a Shichibukai.

I doubt the new admirals were drafted drafted, more like Akinau or someone high in the WG personally recruited the 2 new admirals.

not a chance.

just add to ignore list.

Well, Jinbei didn't specifically mention marines having the authority to revoke a warlord's title, though. In fact, they've already had that authority BEFORE the skip. Remember, it was Tashigi who stripped Crocodile of his title after the Alabasta conflict ended. There was also Momonga threatening to revoke Hancock's title if she refused to comply with the summons to Marineford. So marines can definitely strip a warlord's status as long as they have good enough reason to.



And on another note.... preview pics are out! Credit goes to kaze1028 for these:

Spoiler:

Yep, looks like Isshou's ability is gravity-based, all right. Makes me wonder what the Green Bull's power will be, though. The name makes me think of something plant-based (maybe we'll get the tree logia I've long speculated on!?).....

surprise Smoker didn't revoke Dof's Warlord Status.
