I'm still hoping that Moria isn't down for the count, despite getting OHKO'd by Jinbei. Even if Luffy's done with him, the fact that he also wants to become Pirate King (albeit in his own lazy way) should still hold some merit. Furthermore, we still don't know the full history behind him and Kaidou, nor how he ended up losing his old crew in the New World, so those topics should be touched upon at some point......
By the way, it should also be noted that when Smoker got hit by Hancock, he specifically said that it must have been because of the "Kuja's Haki". This brings to mind what Sandersonia told Luffy about how few people outside of the Kuja tribe are able to use Haki. I guess they truly are a unique group of ladies, huh....? |

And I really think that Smoker is stronger than Vice Admiral but less than Admiral Quote:

But still its pretty amusing if someone like Buggy reaches such high position... His followers believe he is some kind of messiah, next pirate king even when Buggy admitted that every single one of his followers has actually higher bounty than himself... And Buggy is just FLASHY atleast he is not dull person and atleast something happens when he appears... |

Actually, me and james0246 seem to be the only ones who really give a darn about Buggy (and technically Oda as well ), but.... eh, whatever. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks, I guess...... While that may be true, there are still individuals outside of Amazon Lily who are known Haki users as well (Shanks, Rayleigh). Yet despite that, Smoker still singled out the entire Kuja tribe's usage of it instead of saying something like "She was able to hit me? This must be her (Hancock's) "Haki"!" This suggests to me that Hancock's tribe must be famous for having mastery over an ability that very few people in the outside world can use effectively...... |

Ah i think this arc is too obvious :/
Since Luffy can't use his Haki yet he is useless in this arc so what's going to happens is : The time of Ace's execution comes,someone somehow keeps whitebeard busy(perhaps that's Sengoku's plan)while Ace is getting executed > Luffy goes on rampage > unleashes his Haki > KO's the ones trying to kill Ace > Everyone goes "WOWOWOWOWO" about Luffy's Haki > Luffy saves Ace > the end of the arc. I hope I'm wrong ;o |

Either way still waiting on news of the cover story, curious what that title is leaning towards.

Luffy fighting Smoker and being unable to hit him, only to be saved by Hancock makes me think that the prediction made a while ago about this arc (I think it was either james0246's prediction or marvelB's) that Luffy would finally defeat a Logia user, namely Commodore Smoker, without some gimmick/weakness, is a correct one. I think that Luffy will in the course of the battle realize his Haki and strike Smoker with it, finally being able to hit him and probably defeat him.
Now, as for another prediction that's been circulating, I'm starting to be more in favor of it. It makes sense to me, and that's that Hancock will join the Straw Hats. The whole love sickness thing and being unable to stay in Amazon Lily without dying, with the only cure being following her love makes it seem inevitable. And the fact that she's seemingly willing to give up her Shichibukai status for Luffy only further drives the point home. If she were to lose her status, she couldn't go home, cuz then she would die, so logically, she'd have nowhere to go BUT with Luffy....... I'm enticed to see how it does turn out. PS: I think it's a nice touch that Oda is making Jinbei into a beast via his pwnage of Moria. There might have been doubts about how strong he was considering he doesn't have any special/Devil fruit powers, but I think there's no question now. Sweet. He gets a big thumbs up from me. |

Smoker is good defensively(Logia), but really weak offensively. What he's gonna do, suffocate his enemies to death?
All he can do with smoke is probably trap or restrict enemies. Compared to the Admiral's and Enel's godly offensive abilities. |

Yep I agree, it's a propable scenario and it would be really great and funny to have Hancock in the crew About Smoker, well I think he can do many think with his power. I mean maybe he can make his smoke as hard as a rock or something like that

But shit... imagine Sanji with same boat as Hancock,Robin and Nami... he would go insane... unless he learns something in Kamabakka-island. And I dont think Nami and Hancock would fit too good either, both being very authorative as nature... |

This has not been fully confirmed, but if it is, wow.
First info about Zoro's ministory has been released, and it was I have predicted for quite awhile: Ghost-cutting . Additional info: It is revealed that a special "prison" ability will be used to capture all of the pirates. This was Sengoku's true plan. Also, Luffy, while fighting Smoker, flashbacks to Rayleigh stopping Kizaru. So, if the spoiler is true, expect a haki-powered Luffy in the next chapter or 2. Also, Marco is not with Luffy because he went off to fight Kizaru (again). --- The Zoro cutting ghosts part is what makes me think this might be fake. All of the other islands ahve been very hush-hush and ambiguous on how the various crewmembers would level up, so Oda outright telling us that Zoro is attacking a ghost seems a bit too well-defined. |

Even though smoker is weak offensively he he still has that seastone sword thingy.Now that i think of it whitebeard's earthquake ability prolly wouldn't affect a smoke man. Soooooo unless he has haki he better watch out for smoker! LOL

Hey, some of us actually predicted the ghost-cutting thing a while back! Looks like Zoro's another step closer to slashing diamond, then the elements......
And it's good to know that there's a reason why Marco didn't protect Luffy right away. The fact that Luffy flashes back to Rayleigh damaging Kizaru is also a definite hint towards his soon-to-be-revealed Haki prowess. And yes, as I already predicted, I suspect that Smoker will soon become Luffy's guinea pig..... As for the whole prison ability thing, that sorta sounds like a DF power, specifically Hina's. It's probably something different, though. Well, things should be more clear once the pics come out..... |

That unconfirmed spoiler also has Garp snitching things to WB and Akainu facing Garp cause of it. But it has parts that are the same as Nja's spoiler. Still sceptical cause it could be a guy trolling us and adding things like back when WB's waves took out 50.000 of the marines.
Hancock helping Luffy, wonder if it's due to Smoker trashing chibi Luffy or if it's just cause her love got trashed in orginal form. Well her defending him opens tons of possibilities and AL could be solved in several ways. Kind of don't want to get in to the discussion again cause I've discussed this over and over on an other site. Always been saying I'll shink she joins and Oda sure is giving me more hope. Zoro's cover, I wonder if we'll have three cover-stories for him like he received three pages when he landed. Well guess technically is was one perona and then two zoros. Looks like one hell of a great chapter like usual.
