Luffy totally annihilated that guy! Took him down with ease, I remember saying I hope this doesn't turn out to be a verse match between Luffy and co V CP9, coz CP9 should absolutely destroy them, and the excuse, we've gotten stronger on every island is stupid, it's hasn't even been a week in the time they've travelled, no other fights between people, and he took this guy down like that.
The only one Luffy couldn't face straight up was Lucchi... so until then, I won't mind if Luffy takes a couple down with ease on a one on one fight
Uhh KAi. That's the whole point of One Piece. It's not training, training, training to become stronger and beat the bad guy like Dragon Ball. Its about determination, the will to never give up, and the power of friendship that gives them inner strength. It sounds corny but that's how it is! How many times have you seen (excluding Zoro) the strawhats train to become stronger? Never!! And they face stronger foes each and every time and they still manage to kick their asses. Luffy was beaten two times by Crocodile, but he wanted to help his new nakama Vivi so much that it gave him the power to suceed. Same thing happened with Usopp and Kuro, Sanji and Krieg, Nami and Arlong, Chopper and Wapol, Cricket and Enel, his whole crew and Foxy . And now is Robin and CP9. Have you actually being watching One Piece?Quote:

After what happened to Robin, the strawhats aren't just going to get Robin and escape. Thats not how they do things when it comes to nakama. Besides, Luffy also wants to take down Lucci for his betrayal to Paulie. And he hasn't knocked out Blueno yet. The chapter ended with Luffy starting to thrash him. Back at the train Sanji wasn't able to hurt Blueno but he did feel the huge force in his kick. Another one and it would have definetely hurt him but Kaku stepped in. If Sanji was able to do that imagine LUFFY!!
Well, I find this to be annoying as hell, Luffy can be DEMOLISHED in an INSTANT, but he can travel to the next island and be able to take down a guy that he didn't hurt by kicking him, and did the 1000 punch thing and didn't even lay a hand on him. Luffy's kick had nothing on him last time, although, yes, you get stronger with every fight, and I know this fight isn't over yet, but he took him down instantly, before these punches couldn't even touch him. This pissed me off, although he could just be doing the old get taken down, then start to kick Luffy's ass around, then lose all of a sudden. Then he'll go straight on into the next fight and still beat the other guys, I just don't like it.
Training is in lots of anime/manga, there are times where fighting isn't enough, will power, and such things are not good enough, check out Bleach, Naruto, Hunter X Hunter, similar style Shounen shows. Same type of style shows as One Piece.
Where was his determination, the will to never give up, and the inner strength from the power of friends when he first fought them? now it can be said, but they need to lose sometime, but still he hasn't improved that much, he just received a beating and he can suddenly win now? Yes, the reason now is stronger than before, now that he knows the truth of why she is going but, it still just urks me. Also, by the time he gets to Lucchi if he can beat him down, with no help or with out any smarts in the fighting, and too easily, I wont like the scenario. Lucchi is alot stronger and can be used again. Although this is good for his character in building up his fighting, strength and everything else, I think they overpowered the CP9 guys a bit to much, or they made Luffy's strength improve to high.
All I hope now is that this fight actually has some good fighting and isn't one sided.
The CP9's power level are:
1. Rob lucchi - 4000
2. Kaku - 2200
3. Jabura - 2180
4. Blueno - 820
5. Kumadori - 810
6. Fukuro - 800
7. Carifa - 630
See, Blueno is the 4th strongest. Yeah sure, Luffy couldn't beat him at first but now there's a lot in stake in this battle, and he knows that and it motivates him and makes him even stronger. It's again, kind of corny but thats the main theme in One Piece. Another thing was that the first time, he hit Blueno with his Pistol attack, this time around he got him with his Rifle attack which is very powerful so he broke his armor and took that opportunity to pummel him. Also Luffy is the strongest among the strawhats so now compared to Luffy he's really nothing. This is more of like a pre-battle that doesn't mean anything. And if Luffy has a hard time with Blueno then he would obviously be no match for Lucchi which is his main opponent so being able to thrash Blueno like that makes alot of sense. Though I doubt he will go against the other ones single-handedly. Kaku will most likely be Zoro's opponent and Jabura will be Sanji's opponent and so on. Now there is no doubt in my mind that those later fights won't be one sided. They never are actually. Especially Luffy and Lucchis fight!!
I wonder who the matchup's are going to be.
Luffy being the captain would definitely take on Rob Lucchi. Thats like a no brainer.
Zoro would take on Jabura (Jabura's a swordsman as well, or was that Kumadori (?)).
Kaku (?) - Franky? or Sanji?
Fukuro the big mouth, I think he's the brainiac of the team. Would definitely be a matchup against Chopper.
And Nami would be vs Carifa.
Blueno would get his noseshit kicked out of him soon, so he probably wouldn't be part in the battle. I wonder who else. Maybe Sogeking would take on one, and I wonder who would Robin as well.
I want to know if Franky joins the crew. I've really enjoyed his personality in the manga so far. Hope he stays.

I think that says alot. I don't think Robin is going to fight. That's why she was drawn matched up with the soon to be dead Blueno.
i don't think that pic will be correct on the match ups because if luffy is supposed to fight the guy with the pigeon on his arm and if you look at the pic luffy would be fighting against kaku and sanji against the guy with the pigeon which makes no sense because sanji will get his ass whooped luffy should be fighting him, although it would make for an interesting twist, would definately get sanji his wanted poster if he ends up fighting and beating the guy with the pigeon, sorry forgot his name lol
*sigh* No. So what if they are drawn an inch far from each other. From right to left it's:
Franky Vs. that weird sumo type guy
Nami Vs. Califa
Sanji Vs. Guy between Califa and Lucchi(forgot the name)
Luffy Vs. Lucchi
Zoro Vs. Kaku
Usopp Vs. Zipper guy
And Robin and Blueno who are not going to fight. Blueno surely won't. Maybe Robin will Clutch Spandam for revenge.
I don't have a clue with who's going to fight Chopper.
is the Guy between Califa and Lucchi(forgot the name) going to fight? he has a power of 9
chopper looks cute trying to badass like that in that pic hehehe..... and maybe he'll pair up w/ ussop or something and have a 2-1 fight.
That answered my question [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]. They had better not pull a Vivi......Quote:

some new group is doing OP manga...
http://rapidshare.de/files/649...One_Piece_384.rar.html
Edit:
Group sucks ass....
But the chapter was awesome... There are a couple of surprises...
Null released there version, go and get it!
Now we got the giants on the strawhats side, thanks to Ussop, err i mean Sogeking.
Luffy and Blueno are still stairing down.
Well done Sogeking. Ussop is pretty cool in his own right.
Ussop is awsome. They need to make him insanly powerful, like the new clima tact. It'll be funny though
if he permenitly goes under the name of Sogeking. That part with the giants was funny though.
Aww. I wanted them to show Luffy's and Blueno's on going fight. Next chapter I guess. Nice, Usopp is getting braver by the minute.
I don't think Ussop would ever be insanely powerful.
But he might get seastone bullets! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Thats the only way I can see him defeat mad powerful enemies.
385 has been released by null, get it off there bots, or from mangatraders.com
Nice, chapter I'm liking it very much.
Now those guys have eaten devil fruits they're even stronger (more than likely) than what they were before, I hope this goes well, so far the fight between Blueno and Luffy is good.
Revolving door, lol.
What? Bon Clay looks...straight!!
There is only one thing I can relate with Kaku's bannana shaped devil fruit. A zoan monkey type. But who knows. I really liked this chapter too. Finally the strawhats caught up to Luffy.
bon clay is dressed up like sanji
so you cant have two devils fruit powers after all
nice chapter, wonder what those twos new power would be
386 has now been released, available at mangatraders.com
Another nice chapter, the attack on the island is being done very well in my opinion.
The Spandam guy is going crazy, heh. He doesn't know what to think, he thought this was all to easily in his favour, but he was up for a really big suprise,
Should see more of the Luffy V Blueno fight also next chapter.
i liked this chapter too
spandam is too full of himself
i wanted to see more fighting from luffy and blueno
Last two chapters were pretty good...
Not much progress on what is going on, but we learned alot on the situation of CP9 and the World Gorvernment... they are getting their ass kicked, and I'm glad Spandam finally recongnized it
i wonder when spandam will use the buster call
after seeing the destruction caused on enies lobby, i bet he is tempted to use it
but most likely he will send the rest of CP9 into action first, mainly because it would be embarrassing for him to let the rest of the world know that most of the soldiers were getting beat by the straw hats
I hope he doesn't use Buster Call... The usage of Buster Call suggests to me that One Piece would be nearing its final arcs, and I don't want to think that...
I think Luffy and the Straw Hats have ways to go before they are that potent of a power to warrant the usage of a Buster Call...
Spandam most likely will initiate the buster call. But I doubt the Mugiwara crew will fight them or at least thats what I hope. They might be tearing up Enies Lobby but I don't think they're ready to fight that much power yet.
i just got chapter 387 in raw. it is out there now? if you can't find it show me how to upload it here. i will share with you guy with one condition: Translate to English. Chapter 387 is a kick ass chapter. Luffy using a knew move (almost like entire different ability.) Unfortunally, i don't understand anything it said.
PS: Luffy able to copy the kick the cut subject from the bull guy
Apparently you can't read:
Topic Title: One Piece Manga Discussion
Topic Summary: Translated Only
Thanks
387 has been translated by null, omfg luffy is gonna power up, looks like the raw is out for 388 as well but i won't spoil
thanks for the heads up
damn, luffys going to start some crazy sh*t
ooo, I wonder how he's able to do this, and how it comes about.
Hehe, I loved when Chopper said to Zoro "Zoro, I'll try to make a medicine for it next time" "A good medicine for a hopeless idiot" and Boy, Sanji can sure be pathetic sometimes. :/
I've been hearing the term Vulcanization for Luffy's second gear.
Vulcanization : process of treating rubber or rubberlike materials with sulphur at great heat to improve elasticity and strength or to harden them.
Sounds like it no? A better and more scientific explanation for his new ability than just Super Saiyan Luffy.
That sounds like it might be it...
At first I was thinking he was using his rubber ability to restructure his muscles and shit.
Yeah, I think you've hit it Deblas, I was also trying to figure out something that could strengthen rubber or something of the sort, that seems like it's the case.
and now that Luffy has used it, my previous statements about me not liking it have gone away, as he's used this verse Blueno, and I think he'll destroy him with it.
This has certainly made me happy, it's good to know Oda is a GREAT mangaka!
I thought it was lost due to the beating they got back at water seven.
i was wondering where in the manga you got this from, because i dont remember reading about it, if it is in the manga, please point the wayQuote:
I've been hearing the term Vulcanization for Luffy's second gear.
but if its not in the manga, good find on the word
By him saying "I've been hearing the term" he is implaying that he is frequenting other sites and/or forums and has seen this term being used...
Of couse he didn't get it from the manga...
ok, thanks
just wanted to know where Deblas got vulcanization from
sounds cool if there is a logical explenation for luffy's power up, that would make him suddenly powering up a lot cooler then the cliche "oh i just pulled a new power out my ass and can now whoop all the enemies who whooped me before" damn one piece is so exciting right now
Yeah, this brings endless possibilities... especially if he can warm up his body to a certain degree, which will translate to him being able to unfreeze himself by his own powers when Aoki freezes him...
Downloaded the 388 release by Strawhat Scans... they suck...
But we see some kickass action...
yup their release sucked, but this was one bad ass chapter so what they're saying is Luffy mastered that move that made the CP9 people move really fast damn Luffy is so freakin cool
Wow, the new chapter was great. I thought Bluno would last a little longer though. The manga just keeps
on getting better and better. Luffy's power increased dramaticly, Nami's did also. Can't wait to see whats in
store later.
Old Lady has a very interesting point.
I wonder how much Luffy's bounty & Crew would increase.
And would Sogeking finally have a bounty as well? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
on page 12, when he annouces that he will do something again because blueno took the "jet bazooka" attack,
luffy sticks his thunb into his mouth like he's trying to trigger something for the next gear
im thinking for each gear, there is a trigger to start it
like for his "gear second," he pushes down on his legs
itd be interesting to see how many gears he has, and how he will deal with himself not being use to the "gears" yet
yeah, i noticed that tensai.
This is getting very exciting, can't wait, lol.
I'm loving every bit of this chapter. The arc just keeps getting better and better. Luffy's new Gomu jet attacks are insane. And we have only seen only a little of his power. But Blueno was pretty stupid to try and take on one of Luffy's best attacks. I can't wait for Luffy's battle with Lucchi so he can show every bit of power he gained with his gear second. This arc is just too awesome.
I think Blueno couldn't avoid it, so he just tried to tekkai and absorb it. Didn't work nehow.
Anybody has the subbed version of 389? 388 by Null is out.
389 is out by a group named Illuminati-Manga
you can find it in the bittorrent sites
If you find a direct link post it here, I can't torrent
Found one:
http://www.illuminati-manga.co...ms/showthread.php?t=69
Edit: Great chapter, but again, group sucks
Awsome chapter. Franky's ass expanding was hilarious, as was Luffy yelling out,
"LLLLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNCCCCCCCCCCHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHH"
I'm still curious about the powers Kasu and Cafia got. I guess we'll find out soon..
Hahaha, yeah it was awesome how he got food out of nowhere...
I forgot which chapter, but back when Luffy is still on the train there's a panel where he stuffs meat into his pockets while talking with Nami. The weird part would be that it never looks like there's anything in his pants pockets from then until now =)
It must be a dimensional storage gateway pocket pants.
AE released chapter 390
http://rapidshare.de/files/793...ece_ch390_AE_.rar.html
Chapter was crap, but the end was awesome...
Great chapter, but only the end. I was expecting that kind of response from Luffy, but not him picking his nose, lol.
The fights should start up in the next chapter. Wonder who will go up first?
Thanks for the link Bud.
i agree, the end was the best part
it was funny the way sanji showed up and thought he was number one, and how the giants threw sogeking up, i wonder how he landed
The end freakin rocked. Sanji's part of him saying he was #1 was hilarious. And the last spread just awesome. I agree. The first pages sucked.
Also, look at usopp's staff. That's one big slingshot he has there. Wonder if it's a permanent change of weapon. Though it seems everyone has an improvement in their weapons/fighting skills. We haven't seen Zoro's, Sanji's or Chopper's yet. But I bet they do.
And Luffy has a lot of awesome lines in this arc. First:
Marines: Said something about there being thousands of marines in Enies Lobby.
Luffy: And I'm alone. Get out of my way!!
Then...
Luffy: you can say die you want to die!! It doesn't matter!!!....But things like that&.you should say it when youre with us!!!...Now leave it all to us.
Just to sidetrack abit..
There's 6 CP9 on top of the tower. (Excluding the useless half-faced guy).
But only 5 at Luffy's side.
Do you think Franky's going to join the fight? Or will Robin? Franky's out cold thoguh.
What? You fool. Did you count Luffy?Quote:

No, he counted Chopper and Nami as one...
389 is out by null, just wanted to let you guys know
yeah, nice chapter, seems the fights will be coming on real soon, and can't wait, they should be done real well.
Lol..
You know what? Because Chopper's in big size mode, I didn't recognize him. So I thought it's just 5. Silly me.
390 out by N-U-L-L
Nice coloured picture at the end. Sweet.
i just noticed the colored pic at the end after you mentioned it
another thing that i noticed was that ussop got a big lump on his head, guess thats how he landed
Don't remember which group is best, but two groups released 391
http://rapidshare.de/files/857...ece_ch391_AE_.rar.html
http://rapidshare.de/files/8610764/SS_391.zip.html
Robin's flashback! That's awesome!! And wow. A doctorate at 8 years old. That's amazing!
I not very fond of OP flashbacks... they are usually drawn out... But I'm really looking forward to reading about Robin's past and about what a Buster Call really is...
I've been waiting for Robin's full backstory. So far so good. But why was a Buster Call needed?
im also wondering why the buster call was needed
everyone, so far, seems to dislike Robin except for those Ohara Archaeologists
i hope at the same time we learn about Robins past, we also learn about the true history and why those stones are there
I like One Piece Flashbacks.
Especially if their mostly new things about people's past that add more depth to their character. Rather than Naruto repeating the same old same old every God Damn time.
Well, this is the manga... not anime...
Naruto handles flashbacks fairly well in the manga...
To give an example of Flashbacks I hate are for example... the Norland flashback and the Tom flashback... they were fairly long and boring...
Up till now, we havent had many good flashbacks that dealt with our main characters, so at least the Robin one should be good...
nulls version of 391 is out
Just finished reading 391.
Robin finally opened her mouth.
Not suprising really that everyone at her home town don't like her, but there was quite a few people in the Archeologists place.

Edit: After reading the chapter...
We can see now why Nico Robin looks up to the "D." family...
or at least has interest in them...Quote:
We can see now why Nico Robin looks up to the "D." family...
this chapter is pretty interesting, to me at least
spandain, i guess was spandams brother or father or at least has some relation to spandam
wow, robin's mother looks exactly like robin. It sucks that she got rejected that quickly because she wanted to be a part of them
i guess there might be a different reason for why the island ohara was destroyed, the giant being there or the research that the archaeologists were conducting
Maybe they were close to finding out that blank page in history.Quote:

The blank page in history...... Makes sense for an archiologist.
I'm really liking Robin's backstory. It shows a lot about Robin personality and why she acts all secluded in the present.
Finallly he get to know Robin's past and maybe a bit more about the D. Family.
Killing two birds with one stone. And highly anticipated at that. This arc is definitely the best.
Zoro and Sanji definately need to go one gear up just like Luffy to defeat CP9.
I think they will get some type of upgrade. Everyone seems to be upgrading their fighting skills.
Luffy- Gear second
Nami- Perfect Clima Tact
Usopp- Sogeking and some type of staff/slingshot
I wonder if Choppers upgrade is a rumble ball that gives him even more forms. That'll be pretty sweet.
For Chopper, thad be great.
For Sanji, id be cool if he learned the leg techniques CP9 uses (the names escape me for the moment).
Zoro, I don't think he can upgrade anything.
I think Sanji a;ready has his kitchen knives attacks. Maybe Tying knives to his legs. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
i dont think that sanji will use the kitchen knives attack
i thought he used them because the noodle guy pissed him off
i would like to know what kind of devils fruit power the two cp9 members got, and how the strawhats are going to fight agaisnt them
This probably is the most anticipated fight ever.
heck, i'll take any OP flashback over Naruto's repetting ones anytime...
sure, Naruto is emotional with all the 'everybody hates me' crap, but when it comes down to story quality, one piece takes the win, and that's why the flashbacks are so long.
so, as far as i'm concerned, the coming flashback is about to be great, the CP9 fight can wait a few more months, i don't think that luffy can beat luchy (or kaku and the other strong guy) yet, even if he can go up to 3rd gear... and not to forget that they still can go demon fruit and increase thier power levels ("my soru level is over one million, and I can go super saiyan"). I'm betting that we might see a cameo of some bigshot, i hope that ace will come and make short works off someone.

http://rapidshare.de/files/9412549/SS_393.zip.html
Awesome chapter, shit's about to go down...
pretty good chapter
since aokiji (the ice dude) showed up here, theres a high chance that luffy's grandfather is the giant dude
aokiji said that he dealt with luffy's grandfather a long time ago
I didn't think of that...
That's a good point...
Man, I'm loving Robin's backstory more and more. I wonder what the connection between Olivia and Saulo....
Nice chapters, things are going down next chapter, it's going to be good.
Robin's mum is even hotter than her.
There's really not much of a difference between how Robin looks and how her mom looks except for the hair.
Upon close inspection I have come to the same conclusion. You do have a keen eye.
Does Robin look taller now than her mother?
If that's Luffy grandfather...
I wonder who his grandmother was... Some sort of midget? Or maybe this phenomenon ocurred with his parents...
