One Piece - Chapter 719 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
So after all that confusion from last week, we have some "proper" spoilers this time around! And once again, credit goes to Redon from AP forums for this summary: Quote:
LOL, so THAT'S the reason Chinjao hated Garp!? While I never dismissed it being a silly reason, I was leaning towards Garp having stolen his daughter or lover or something. Anyway, now that Luffy's "fixed" his problem, there shouldn't be any more reason for them to be enemies. Naturally, Burgess discovering Luffy's identity is unsurprising, as well. I'm pretty interested in checking out the Don's original head shape though, at least.... Also, the C-block is now over! Now that just leaves block D before we go on to the semi-finals with Dofla's officers! |

Well it seems that Luffy may have fixed his head?
And I knew Burgess would figure out who Lucy really is due to the stretching ability he suddenly saw. & Nice. One Elephant gun. It didn't seem like Luffy was using Gear 2nd.

Funny that you mention this, because this basically DOES feel like Duval all over again (random dude who has a grudge against a Straw-Hat for some silly reason, problem magically gets fixed after getting knocked upside the head ). But again, I'm just glad this means that Chinjao's guaranteed to become Luffy's ally at this point. |

I'm going to laugh my ass off when this whole evil scheme to trap Straw Hat completely backfires on Dofla with Luffy emerging out with an army of extremely powerful allies he gathered through out the tournament. LOL.

Yea though so, maybe these guy's will probably follow: Don Cinjao's family, Bartolomeo, Cavendis, Rebeca and the res of the tournament who share the same problems (doflamingo) or just becomes an allies because influenced by seeing Luffy fight.

It seems like the most perfect plot if you ask me. We shall see... I love the thought of Luffy taking over the NW one island at a time.

Will he stick to his tournament opponents (seeking them out and trying to fight them)? Will he join Doflamingo in crushing his enemies because they might ask him to help? Will he just be obsessed trying to fight Luffy? Or could he join forces with the Strawhats just for the fun of it? He's a huge wildcard that has no real allegiance with anyone on the island and doesn't need to make a name for himself. He's at the top of pirate food chain so other then the DF he has nothing to gain on the island. Still I doubt he'll run away when he has the fruit. |

BTW, something interesting to note: It was confirmed by Redon that Luffy's finisher against Don Chinjao is a new variation of the Elephant Gun called "Gomu Gomu no Thor Elephant Gun". Interestingly, the kanji for "Thor Elephant Gun" is "雷将象銃" which translates to "thunder general elephant gun", so could this mean that Luffy can now use thunder-based haki moves, in addition to fire-based ones.....!?
(Oh, and for the record, I'm already well aware that Luffy used a "Thor" move against Shiki in Strong World, but that wasn't canon, lol. ) Last edited by marvelB; 2013-08-28 at 01:25. |

I also doubt Oda would so willingly blur the lines when he's clearly separated things to avoid any one party getting everything (cough Bleach), so unless Luffy's actually forming electricity, I expect the Thor to be in name only (or maybe, as you said, it'll create loud booms of thunder/shockwaves? no electricity involved?). Edit: I just took a look at the scene in question and it certainly looks like a bunch of shockwaves.

Ahwell, that's finally wrapped up. Bit silly how Chinjao's head popped back up like that, but this is One Piece after all. At least he'll be happy to have his old drillhead back, seeing his reaction once he realized it should be good.
I'm guessing that D-block won't actually get to fight because of the incoming dwarf invasion force. And indeed, Burgess is one hell of a wildcard, hard to tell what he might do at that point. As an aside, so Caribou is actually pretending to be the revolutionary Gaburu now? So he's not a total bastard anymore, at least. Last edited by Trax; 2013-08-28 at 05:47. |

Not too much going on in this chapter, although I really liked Chinjao's speech about taking on the admirals and Yonko.
Funny enough that the prediction about Chinjao's head and the reason for his grudge against Garp, I made a couple of chapters ago, turned out to be true I wonder why Bartolomeo keeps saying that Cavendish won't kill Luffy. Either he wants to do the job himself or he wants to protect him for some reason. Though they didn't have any contact we know of and his personality was totally different, Bartolomeo's resemblance to Stelly can't be denied. The age matches too, because Stelly would now be only a little bit older than Luffy. On a sidenote: I'm glad Caribou's back and doesn't leave the old helpful lady to die. |
