One Piece - Chapter 720 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Once again, we can thank Redon from AP forums for this week's spoiler summary: Quote:
Huh, so that "Barto is a Luffy fanboy" theory came true after all. And as expected, Don Chinjao is now friendly with our protagonist, as well! But the fact that he offered to let his grandkids join the Straw-Hats just opened a new can of worms as far as the "new nakama" theories are concerned..... And speaking of potential new members, I guess we can count out Rebecca now since she tried to murder Luffy over the fruit. The scene with Blackbeard and Burgess' conversation about Aokiji sounds pretty interesting as well (I can see Gray getting into a frenzy over that info already ). Anyways, looking forward to the full chapter! |

Oh, I'm just referring to grey_1960, a buddy of mine here who I have heated debates with now and then. But you really didn't need to pay any mind to that little comment of mine, heh. Anyway, about the spoiler..... if Barto first witnessed Luffy at Loguetown, then I wonder if that means he's an East Blue pirate? Considering EB's reputation for churning out the weakest pirates, I think it would be really nice for a change if another monster emerged from there during the skip. |

Why are we hearing about such a strong pirate all of a sudden? Because if you remember dragon wanted to gather and talk with the officers ( pre time-skip/post marineford) . Now he has started to move and thus we have people/pirates like Bartolomeo out of blue ( possibly Cavendish is also a revolutionary). Oda sensei might link and connect Sabo, Dragon, ... like this. ----- Another theory, Bartolomeo is actually working under Kaido and Kaido is Sabo. He saw luffy while accompanying kaido maybe. ------ Lastly i want to say i think both Kaido (Sabo) and Dragon used to be allies ( after dragon having saved his ass). Eventually they broke up because of different philosophies on how to approach and fight against the WG ( Kaido/Sabo being the unreasonable one here).

Lol. When i saw the spoiler, i started searching the Logue Town arc for someone that looked like Bartolomeo. I couldn't find one. Anyways...Luffy's most dangerous ability is starting to work on Dressrosa. He's turning enemies into allies

Kaido's birthday could represent the day he became Kaido ( or was reborn as a different person). that's just one example out of many on how one could argue about the discrepancy. Plus if we go by databooks ( as you just did for the birthday), Sabo is dead. But we know he isn't. P.S. Just a possible theory.

If you can't agree to written facts there's no point discussing anything with you since everything is a go. So might as well ask you when Whitebeard and Ace are going to show up? Let's at least abide by some facts to keep the discussion sensible. Chapter looks great, though I'm surprised about the extended focus on Luffy. |

P.S. Databooks are not facts ( just Data/summary of what we know "thus far" and some trivial info). P.S.S. Story/said facts can change with explanation in anime/manga world.

You fail to contribute to the discussion. Quote:
Once she finds out he's going to save her and get her goal completed without her needing the Flame Flame Fruit you can see where the plot leads. It's easy to read those actions after all the information we currently have.

I have yet to watch why she's doing this, but why would that count her out? She tried to kill Luffy, ok, how many people tried to kill him and are now on friendly terms? Hell, as far as I can recall, Franky once also tried to kill Luffy. This doesn't tell me anything other than Rebecca is a very brave girl.

Perhaps the most interesting fact we got here is Aokiji's link between blackbeard. Knowing him, I doubt he has turned pirate but what's more likely is his entrance into the revolutionary army. His sense of justice, similar to Garp, would fit better with the revolutionaries.

Sounds like a weird move on Rebecca's part, considering that 1) she seemed to have taken a liking to Luffy 2) she should know from that last fight that she doesn't stand a chance. I agree that it doesn't automatically disqualify her as a potential new member, but it doesn't help.

Also if you include 3 different types of maybes whatifs or could be's to make a theory possible then you're just throwing enough mud at the wall, for some of it to stick. Which is fine in a wild theories discussion thread but is out of place here. |
