One Piece - Chapter 663 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Break's over, guys! Time to get this party started! As has been for a while, credit goes to T and CCC from AP forums for summary and translation, respectively: -Chapter title is "CC". the ministory focuses on the Impel Down guards Sadi and Saldeath, who interestingly enough, become lovers. It also turns out that the latter guard, in addition to becoming the new vice-warden of the prison, has gotten taller, as well. -Luffy meets up with Law, and thanks him for saving him at the war. Law says that he owed him a debt of gratitude. Meanwhile, Tashigi manages to recover, and discovers the downed Smoker. She then attempts to get revenge on Law, but the warlord switches her body with Smoker's. He then tells Luffy to go to the lab so he can find his crew, and says they'll probably meet again soon, before disappearing.... -Meanwhile, Sanji is ecstatic that he's in Nami's body. Nami (who's in Franky's body) is upset, and Franky (in Chopper's body) is angry that Nami has his shirt buttoned up. They then all complain about the cold, and the samurai head tells them to put a rock or leaf on his head. He chants "Doron", and materializes warm clothes out of nowhere. The samurai reveals that he's a DF user, but kept quiet about it since he wanted to continue ogling Nami (lol ). Soon enough, Luffy's group reunites with them (along with the head's legs), and they crack up at Sanji's group's situation. It's at this point that Luffy finally learns that Law is a shichibukai. -We go back to Smoker, who's still in Tashigi's body. He discovers that he's still alive despite his heart being stolen. But interestingly enough, he says that he recognized the "CC" mark. It turns out that it belonged to a former partner of Vegapunk's, a weapons expert who now has a bounty on his head, Caesar Crown....!!! Well now, looks like we got ourselves a healthy dose of comedy AND info this chapter! So even the Wano samurai is a DF user (though I wonder what kind of ability would create clothes), and yes, we do learn that people with stolen hearts will still survive after all. And finally, it looks like we finally learn M's true identity! So Caesar Crown is that liquid/gas guy's name, eh? I wonder how big the price on his head is..... Can't wait for the full chapter!

He puts a stone on his head and says "doron" to morph objects, he's possibly a tanuki raccoon related ability.
In Japanese folklore, tanuki (a type of racoon dogs native to Japan) are mythical creatures that can morph themselve as well as objects, by putting a leaf or stone on their head and the sound effect "doron" is when they morph. Japanese foxes also have similar ability in folklores.

^So maybe this means the samurai is a tanuki mystical zoan? That sure would be cool. I wonder if that also means he can shape-shift into statues and stuff, as well (like Mario does when he gets the tanuki power-up)?
Actually, if he IS a tanuki zoan..... then why didn't his legs have oversized balls!? |

Franky with nami eye look really strange
but the Body switching thing is pure comedy And smoking tashigi is hot anyway the samurai (forgot his name) DF probably not Tanuki as in Zoan. but something like illusion-illusion fruit or tanuki-illusion related

Aohige was right - the samurai was talking by farting, which is rather... unpleasant to think about
And it looks like CC is indeed a Logia user - it's actually quite impressive that he can stay in his elemental form all the time, most of the other users default back to their normal bodies... |

Now if the missing heart didn't actually affect Smoker, then why did he collapse?
Also who is stronger? Tashigi in Smoker's body or Smoker in Tashigis body? I can't wait to see Tashigi trying to use the smoke fruit, because this will be the first time we'll see how someone learns to use a logia, because they always say it takes a lot of training to master them

wow! a mad scientist partnered up with a shichibukai....
I really believe that scientist is hostaging Law's members to make him cooperate with him... Franky with girly eyes... Cool chopper.... Kind-hearted Sanji... perverted Nami... hahaha.. I can't stop laughing.. even Robin finds it surreal and now Smoker in Tashigi's body... seeing Smoking Nami and Smoking Tashigi are very odd... lol |

god i love this chapter! i laughed my butt off i could have spoken through my farts! i knew it! sanji would try to take off nami's clothes and take a picture of "himself" naked! and the sight of usopp and luffy laughing just made me laugh even more!
looks like law is not as brutal as he seems to be. i doubt he'd dare harm luffy if he could avoid it. so cc is caesar clown eh? is he related to buggy? LOL sorry, i just had to say that.

Yeah, looks like Aohige was spot-on with the fart-talk, as well. He also correctly guessed the name of Law's ability. And now he brought up the suggestion that the samurai has a tanuki/fox-type DF power. Tell me Mr. Bluebeard, you wouldn't happen to be Oda in disguise, would you.....?
Anyways, really fun chapter. Though I'm a bit confused about whether Caesar is supposed to be a bounty hunter or if he's some exiled mad scientist with a bounty on his head. Though I've gotta admit, finally having a powerful bounty hunter as an arc villain is all kinds of awesome (and LONG overdue). Can't wait to finally see his face next chapter since he unveiled himself to Law..... Heh, the body-swapped Straw-Hats sure were great. I love Nami's reactions to Sanji's attempts at peeping/groping himself (I can totally see her firing a beam at her own body eventually, too). Chopper was great, as well. Though I do wonder how long the body switch will last. Is it a temporary thing, or does Law have to transfer the personalities back himself? I mean, Tashigi had even managed to reconnect herself after getting split apart, so maybe it's possible for the rest of the crew to get their normal bodies back on their own.... Quote:
Even putting the last thread's argument aside, it's still odd that Smoker had passed out after Law used Mes on him. Honestly, I still wouldn't be surprised if there were some sort of unusual side effect to losing one's heart..... |

That's my take on it anyway. Maybe you are right though.

Definitely a very funny chapter, the thing that piqued my interest was Law saying "we both have something we want to get back". Could that be referring to his crew? Can't wait to find out more, Law's interaction with Ceasar might shed some light on this.
