an "elephant" move from luffy? looks like the speculations about luffy using animal-named attacks turn out to be very true.
i thought the fishmen's confusion regarding brooke's humanity was hilarious! i gotta ask though, what's the purpose of the noah? what is the significance of that thing anyway? is it supposed to be just a large ship that decken used as a weapon against fishmen island and nothing else? i was hoping there's more to it than that. if luffy ends up destroying it then what's the big deal about it? why does the king want to protect it? i'm confused.

nah, some posters joked about luffy's attacks being named after animals because of that red hawk move. some said luffy should have attacks named after an elephant, panther, rat, snake, etc.

Interesting... maybe he's got a Gomu Gomu no Railgun attack, too ?
The chapter was awesome, but tooo short and there's a break next week. The cover story was very nice - Ussop is now like Jayne from Firefly , and he got a ton of dials in exchange for some rubber bands back then (best trade ever!). I hope he goes back to see the statue... |

To be honest, I wouldn't object to Shirley joining either, but she kind of has the same problem that Margaret had in the sense that she barely had any kind of character development. Shame too, since we even found out that she's Arlong's sister....

They simply chose it because they feel it's natural, but it's not what Luffy said. If they want to write their own story, which is what's been happening frequently these past several dozen chapters, go ahead, but it doesn't make it canon. He was not, in any way or form, addressing the line to himself. He literally said "His toughness is like a over-100-million". Obviously referring to the Supernova level bounty heads. Here. This is what I posted in AP. Quote:

Elephant Rifle is the insanely high caliber rifle you use to hunt Elephants. Snake Shot is a name of small caliber ammo used to kill snakes and rodents. Red Hawk is a Ruger revolver. And like I pointed out in the previous chapter thread, "Fire Fist Rifle" is a mistranslation by mangastream. It's Fire Fist PISTOL. Hence the reference. Luffy's new moves will likely follow this trend, and use firearm terms with animal names in them.
