Liar posted:Seems logical to me. As soon as Doflamingo finds Luffy he'll no doubt want to kick his rear end. That might be fine from Luffy's perspective, but Doflamingo has an entire country on his side. Luffy verus an entire country full of people powerful enough to call the New World home might be a bit much. I think you missed the part where Luffy broke a ship the size of a country with his bare fists!

Comic posted:But I wonder if Franky picked up anything along the lines of feeding fruits to objects while he was away? I think that could be amazing, we've only seen zoan fruits given to objects so I wonder what it would do. That would be just as acceptable as Coby getting the fruit. So far Franky's only showed off a beam cannon upgrade from his time on Vegapunk's home island. However since he did see Pacifista and Kuma in action that could have just as easily been his own work. Did we ever find out if his bigger body comes with a larger Cola Cooler? Perhaps he now runs on a whole six pack of cola instead of just three bottles. Drakkel posted:Is it just me or did that toy soldier just use one of Sanji's moves? It's the same move as CP9 was using and is part of one of their martial arts things that generally anyone can learn. It's going by a different name here like Sanji calls his something different. Unless I'm forgetting a time when Sanji's move was called this. Raijin posted:I think you missed the part where Luffy broke a ship the size of a country with his bare fists! More importantly Mango has lied on multiple occasions about having the most delicious meat in storage for Luffy. Gyges fucked around with this message at 23:24 on Mar 27, 2013 |

Man, no matter how many times it happens, the whole "someone underestimates Luffy and gets absolutely destroyed in like one panel" thing will never get old for me. Also, I kind of wish he had gone with Rufi instead of Lucy

Liar posted:On top of that are we assuming he'll become a member of the crew after all of this that we should care if he somehow got stronger? How many swordsmen does the crew need really.  I mean really, swordsmen just come in trios. That's how they roll. And Zoro/Brook/Kinemon make for a awesome group. But I guess it's just as likely that he'll be like a "friend" of the crew or whatever and continue on his own journey.

Cat Machine posted:Both translations called it "Jet Walk", which is different from "Air Step"/"Geppou" that Haki users like Sanji and CP9 use. It does seem to be the same technique though. Could a toy really use Haki?! CP9 doesn't use Haki, at least not explicitly. They use Rokushiki. Now, it's true that every non-CP9 Rokushiki user we've seen (including Coby) was also a Haki user, but even then, Kuro uses an ability quite similar to Soru/Shave and I'm almost certain he isn't a Haki user.

It's been established that Geppou and Rokushiki in general are obtained by training your body to an extreme. We have no reason to believe haki is involved. The toy's Jet Walk sounds like he has a Jet dial in his one good foot.dazoner posted:Then the boat would sink... How many times do we have to go over this? A DF-infused boat would most likely still float given the buoyancy is related to the shape and not something the ship is doing but this is pointless anyway since you probably can't feed a non-zoan fruit to an inanimate object with any degree of success.

Humans have buoyancy. If you lay on your back and relax in the ocean you will float. Devil fruit users can't do this. A boat won't be any different. But you're right, they're not going to feed the Mera Mera no mi to a boat.

Considering the trend of Zoan fruits and inanimate objects, is it possible that Oda was thinking about SMILE and SAD way back during the Alabasta Arc? Maybe it has to be an artificial Zoan fruit that gives it the ability to be fed to an inanimate object? It seems like only Vegapunk would know how, it makes sense.

It looks like Ceaser had only started making SMILE post-timeskip. We don't know that he gave it up. He may not of been able to retrieve it when the island became uninhabitable. Or maybe, considering the other dragons on the island, new dragon zoans grew out slowly. Momonsuke just found the latest one to pop up. Of course if that were the case it'd mean we could see whole armies of one specific animal type.

People keep talking about feeding the Mera Mera fruit to things, but so far every single item-> Fruit has been the result of feeding a zone to some object. I think to give it sentience you must give the item a Zoan.RatHat posted:It seems like Vegapunk only created the one prototype artificial Devil Fruit(the one Momonosuke ate) and then gave up since he saw it as a failure.

I wonder if that means Funkfreed or Lassoo was made via a Smile Zoan. All we know about that though is that Vegapunk developed the method for a inanimate object (the sword) to 'eat' the Zoan and thus giving Funkfreed a mind and life of it's own. I feel sorry for all the creatures that end up being kinda cool or cute (Moo-Moo, Funkfreed, Lassoo) and end up with bad guys and thus have to get beat up.

All of this makes me desperate to get to the information dump that will be the chapter when Vegapunk shows up. Considering Oda's constant censoring of Vegapunk's face I keep wondering if we've already seen him at some point. I know it's what Oda ALWAYS does with characters he hasn't introduced full yet, but even still I'm sort of expecting that we've seen him for some reason.

Considering the constant comments about Vegapunk being a man ahead of his time I keep picturing him as literally having a fruit that allows him control of time and space, but he's had millions of years to achieve a level of enlightenment from it... Sort of like Professor Paradox on Ben 10.

There's so many things wrong with a wooden toy having a fire ability. (I'm assuming he's made out of wood here) Won't he be too scared to use it? Will he be able to extinguish the fire? His name is Thunderous Wrath Soldier it doesn't make any sense! He's missing a leg so he can be the first strawhat with a wooden leg!

Maybe he abandoned Momosuke's fruit not because of any real defect as we'd see it, but because he was trying to make a dragon chair and instead just got a stupid fruit.

What would really be the difference between an elephant sword and a sword elephant? Maybe us thinking a sword ate a devil fruit was just a mistranslation, and it was actually just an elephant that ate the sword fruit.
