To be honest, I doubt that PH was where the two admirals fought. If it were, that much would have been pointed out by Smoker a couple chapters back. Besides, they said that the "big incident" involving PH took place four years ago, not two.....
Oh, and: But it's Big Mama who has the tamatebako with her now, remember? |

Eh, it seems a lot of people are convinced the head and the lower body is different samurai because "they don't have the same speech pattern, the lower body says "buh" at the end".
Let me clarify one thing, that is a possibility, but also keep in mind, "bu" is sound of fart. It's plausable that it's just a childish joke by Oda that the lower half is literally speaking out of its ass.

What a chapter. Everything is so new and fresh. Usopp has really good eyesight to see the face of the bird woman from that far, sogeki no shimade...
And then there were giant children. Part of the experiment or perhaps children of the scientists? Thats a pretty good theory. The island divided into two that Nami imagined was reminiscent of the battle between blackbeard and ace on banaro island and especially the epic shot of their respective powers dividing the island in two. |

Eh, i'm not sure if smoker would have mentioned it... also its possible that ao kiji and Akainu would have chosen Punk Hazard as their battle ground BECAUSE the island was already closed off 2 years earlier. I mean afterall they would want to fight on a deserted island. Though this would beg the question, if PH wasn't close off because of its chilly/fiery climate, then for what reason WAS it closed off?

Chapter 657
That was a pretty good chapter. The further this chapter gets the weird it gets. Harpy, dragons, pirates, marines, people cut into pieces, and still talking. Kinda interesting. Pretty cool that not much can hold the Straw hats anymore. I wonder if Brooks will find the mid section. Kinda weird but Robbin and Zorro are like the parents in that group. |

Speaking of mystical creature, maybe that was the experiment that was going on in the island. The WG might be experimenting with Awaken State Zoan, or even replicating Mystic Zoan power.
Also, last chapter people are talking about the Shikibukai being either Law or Buggy. Consider the way the head is I'm leaning toward Buggy since Law's ability doesn't seem to have that fine a control that allow him to slash up a head into pieces... BTW, Nami and the Samurai's conversation is hilarious, he reminds me of Paulie a little bit.

If it turns out to be true, then her power could be quite broken: devine intervention, heavenly shield, healing, blessing, flight, resurrection, sanctuary etc. Only her presence in a hell-like environment would be somehow contradictory, to me it seems like a token of ultimate decadence. |

Well, if not Smoker, then somebody in his group (like Tashigi). But my main point was that if PH really were the admirals' battleground, then I'd think that at least a good majority of the marine personnel would have known the location of their battlefield. But Smoker nor any of his subordinates said anything about the admiral fight, so I'm led to believe otherwise. Besides, if what I said about PH being like OP's Chernobyl is true, then I'd highly doubt that those guys would want to fight on an island where they'd risk getting radiation poisoning..... Quote:

Boy, would that be hilarious if that were true. And to think that someone pointed out during the last chapter that the "bu" could come from the same "bu" as "bushido"! I'm still sort of doubting that Buggy or Law are responsible for splitting apart the samurai, though. There's definitely a strong possibility that it's either of their doing, certainly, but there's also still the chance that this may not even be the work of a DF power at all, and could just be another of the island's bizarre "experiments" at work here..... Oh, and since I haven't seen anyone else bring it up already: Samurai's son for nakama! Yeah, he sure was a cheeky fella, wasn't he? Last edited by marvelB; 2012-02-16 at 11:30. |

----- Interesting chapter we have here. As pointed out already, this storyline keeps getting more and more bizarre. While it is plausible that the shichibukai culprit could be Law or Buggy, I'm still not convinced on that matter because there's enough wild phenomena going on at PH that these strange effects could be the result of experimentation/external influences. Really looking forward to seeing what role Brook will play in all of this. Since he's by himself right now, it's an opportune moment for him to get the spotlight.
