For me, Sanji meets Zoro is always the best for laugh.
So I'm very happy with this chapter.

Plus, there are some nice actions too.

Pandaman on page 3 (background of crowd).

The fakes finally got what they deserved, especially FLuffy.
Pacifistas one-hit KO-ed was expected, monster trio are super beasts. Luffy's comment about PX-5 beam being slow, and the partial gear 2 in his hand is pretty sweet too.
Surprised expression of the pirates were the best.

.: deviantART :.

nice it seems Luffy can handle the haki pretty good now, and he used the same concentrated technique as WB did when he KOed that giant in the marinford battle
loved the last page and reactions of Sanji and Zoro and teary-eyed Rayleigh
forgot, zoro, first words, Luffy, "Hey, Luffy! You're #9!!", LOL

Good chapter! Now +1 week waiting

But i loved the comedy duo of Zoro and Sanji lol and plus Zoro saying to Luffy being the #9 lol
Maybe that will cause some trauma to Sanji lool xD

Hey, doesn't Luffy's haki infused 2nd Gear punch looks kinda like Super Saiyan 2?

________________

Well, urgg yes in a way and no in many ways. No, because super sayan level 2 kind of pop out of nowhere after super sayan level 1. While haki and people who knows how to use haki had already existed since chapter 1. Luffy and his crew is just not exactly informed since it isn't common knowledge outside of the grandline and new world (or just the new world). Second, super sayan 2 doesn't really explain why a person getting stronger. He is just grow longer hair and glow more brightly = super stronger. I meant there is a depth to haki that can be infused with characters' original way of fighting and technique. But yeah, I have nothing against you. But when people saying something generalization like that and make reference to dragon ball, it feel like you degrading one piece. This may or may not be true in this case, but when people say something like this for bleach and naruto, that what they really meant.

Great chapter, love the fact that Luffy, Zoro and Sanji manage to take down each Pacifista without any problem (unlike last time).

A bit amuse that the Impostor Luffy got what is coming to him.

Well, not much to say, except to wait for next week to come by.

See ya!

Ahahaha, you are missing my point. I mean how it looks in the manga. Did you notice the 'shiny sparks' around Luffy's punch? It wasn't there before and it looks kinda like Super Saiyan 2 reaction. But thanks for the info. It's nice to find somebody so detail about One Piece.

________________

Yeah, they all had to start strong to show you that at their best last time against a Pacifista is good enough to be their starting/finishing moves now since they have trained with fighters that have been through the new world. I would go with saying either both Sanji and Zoro have learned had to use haki to some point or they're just too good cuz the only one that's been associated with it out of the entire crew is Luffy, with his partial gear 2nd jet pistol that was just worthy of the new and improved captain of the Straw Hats.

I thought it was great Luffy didn't have to touch his doppelganger fat cousin cuz that guy wasn't worth his own bounty. Let's see how he likes Impel Down where Luffy's name rings bells. I don't think they take kindly to fakes round those parts, don't drop the soap would be appropriate if they actually showered.



I think it looks more like the sparks flying for the Pacifistas face as its being smashed in. Although it could be the haki/gear 2 combo, which then I would support the SSJ2 electricity infused punch to signify the difference between old Luffy gear 2nd and present Luffy's kick-assness.

anyone notice luffy only called gear 2 from his arm and not the rest of his body? maybe that's how far he's trained his gear 2, to only call it on the body part he's using.

also, about the super saiyan 2 thing, ya i agree about the electricity. original gear 2 = super saiyan, and now improved gear 2 with electricity = super saiyan 2

Good to see things finally starting back up and Luffy meeting up with his crew.

Can't wait for next week.

"He had haki equipped...!!!" sentoumaru's thought with a marine-will-be-crushed look on his face..
