One Piece - Chapter 815 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
First spoiler pic is out, and it already has quite the interesting info! Credit goes to various AP members (Redon, Sandman, etc.) for the info: -Chapter title is something like "Take me, too". Ministory features Vivi and Carue at Alabasta. -According to Pekoms, the Vinsmoke family are the leaders of an organization known as Germa 66 (or perhaps it's "Jerma"?), also known as the "war house". Nami has heard of this group before, referring to them as the "evil army", but she previously thought they were a myth. Pekoms assures her that the group does exist, and the top pillar of the organization, as well as the Vinsmoke family, is Sanji's father. But of course Luffy, being Luffy, doesn't care at all about Sanji's complicated background.... -While the rubber man doesn't mind Sanji getting married, he's still not fond of the idea of being Big Mom's subordinate. In fact, he feels SHE should be the one working for HIM. Naturally, Luffy's words shock Pekoms. He warns them that those who reject an invitation to Big Mom's parties gets a special delivery sent to them..... decapitated heads. If Sanji had refused, not only would have he received his companions' heads, but also the heads of all those from Baratie and even the Kamabakka kingdom! Luffy is particularly surprised that Big Mom's people knew about Kamabakka. Thus, in the end, Luffy decides to meet the empress herself with Pekoms' help. -Meanwhile, it looks like we're introduced to the rest of the Heart pirates, which consists of 20 members. Later, Franky and Robin both decide to prevent Kinemon and Kanjurou from entering the country, so as to not cause an uproar. But when the two samurai finally reach the island, both Straw-Hats are already asleep. And unfortunately, the monkey mink (whose name is apparently something like Barlete) already figured out the identities of Kinemon and Kanjurou.... -Also, while technically not part of the spoiler, I think this warrants a mention: According to AP's Sandman, Oda mentioned back in the second Color Walk book that North Blue has been in war for 40 years, which could be connected to Germa 66: Quote:

To be honest he probably did plan it from back then. One piece is the best long running shonen partially because oda pays attention to details. If you watch closely a lot of the first 100 chapters of one piece foreshadow the next five hundred. Jimbei is mentioned in the arlong arc.
The thing I've noticed is that the arcs are beginning to run together and aren't resolved. I don't think the arx here are as distinct as the arlong arc and water seven. The last two arxs have basically been left with important outcomes unresolved. Which just indicates something really big is going to happen soon. |

Big Mom is pretty nasty
my mind would explode at this rate They're in really bad term toward Kaidou... and now have some trouble with Big Mom and we have Samurai problem as well I don't know how Strawhat Crew would split up to deal with this.. I don't want them to split at all How could Robin fall asleep?!?!?! it's really unlikely to happen.. She has lost her cool and badass composure after 2 years timeskip, eh |

LOL Two or three years of the crew being separated and finally reuniting only for them split up only this time Luffy going it alone. What's with Oda doing these types of arcs now? We haven't seen any one else in b group do jack for a while.
If Luffy does go solo wonder how they'll handle this? I'm surprised Oda's willing to take out Zoro and Law for a year or some thing.

Oh, I don't like this at all. If the Minks turn against the Strawhats and the Heart Pirates just because they are affiliated with samurai ... that'd be ridiculous. Sure, a samurai was the reason Jack wrecked Zou, but the fault lies entirelly with Jack, maybe Kaidou himself, and absolutely not with Kinemon or Kanjuro. To get mad about their presence would be incredibly childish and short-sighted.

Y'know, brooke really should have just used his soul to float down to the sunny and tell the samurai to stay out... Its possible robin could have also done so aswell, unless theirs a range to how far she can bloom
One thing i'm wondering... Who did big Mom threaten to kill if Sanji didn't come to her tea party? See if she was really threatening someone from Sanji's old resturant, i think they would have just said so instead of simply whispering into sanji's ear. Oda doesn't want us to know who mama is threatening... I feel safe in thinking that there's some unknown person, someone new who we have not met, important to Sanji who is being threatened. Also, since Pekoms said everyone who sails under Big Mom must have a bloodline tie, makes me kinda wonder if Capone has married one of Big Mom's daughter's aswell. Quote:

Changed the opening summary slightly. So, turns out that Luffy wants to go rescue Sanji alone.... heh, forget the Enies Lobby comparison, this is practically Marineford 2.0 at this point!
As far as the minks' reaction to the samurai goes, while I think they might be upset upon their arrival, I think Luffy and co. can help smooth things over. After all, while a hidden Wano warrior might have been the reason for Jack's invasion, these guys are allies of their saviors! Maybe the two of them can even use their abilities to help the minks rebuild their country.... Quote:
Well, while a new character certainly is possible, I still wouldn't dismiss the possibility of them threatening someone from the Baratie crew. I mean, Zeff DID save Sanji's life during those months of starvation, after all. |

BTW, there's still a part of me that feels that the current situation could potentially lead to a war between two emperors. I mean, Pekoms was already pissed that Jack attacked his homeland, and BOTH of their crews needed Caesar for specific purposes, so..... would this not be warrant retribution from both sides? Plus, this could be a huge advantage for Luffy's alliance since a war between Kaidou and Big Mom would inevitably lead to both their forces being weakened as a result of the conflict (and if Big Mama is still an enemy after this whole wedding business blows over, then all the better, right? ). So as serious as the current situation is, this could easily be a blessing in disguise for Luffy and co. if they play their cards right....

Agree with Sabo though, that seemed to come out of nowhere (atleast to me). |

Speaking of Germa 66, the speedy translations keep calling the Vinsmokes "assassins" (when it should really just be "murderers"), but.... honestly, them being the head of some underground army makes them sound more like mercenaries than anything. Like basically what Buggy's doing now, but on a much grander scale. If that's the case, then it kinda makes sense if a group like G66 would have enough power to influence the top powers of the world, because I'd imagine that they would be all too eager to utilize the services of an elite band of mercs....
