I wonder if Lucchi and Luffy will ever end their fight in this arc. I doubt the Strawhats are going to stay for the buster call to arrive, I don't think they will be thrown into that situation yet. And with that being assumed, I don't think Luffy will have enough time to finish off Lucchi, I say they finally finish rescuing Robin and run for their lifes.
Definitely plausible. And to continue with the same villains for a little bit with yet another long arc somewhere down the line is something that wouldn't be a surprise, given the mangaka's storytelling style. Besides, the CP9 guys as the main villains for a while isn't a bad thing either :cool:Quote:

As it has said before, the Pirate Summit is around the corner, but it's been a while since I've read this and can't remember well what that actually is, can someone remind me?
The Pirate Summit is not an actual location as many people confuse it to be. It was a statement said by Ace to Luffy. He told him to "reach the top" as in reach the top in Piracy. Reach Whitebeard's level.Quote:

So yeah. After this Luffy is in fact really close to reaching the Pirate's Summit.
Humm, I thought it would be someplace where some big name pirates where going to have a meeting or something. But assuming what you say is true, Luffy is not "close to reaching the Pirate's Summit". In fact, he's really far from it.
The rest of the CP9 have been defeated, so I think it would be odd if Lucchi was a sole survivor that comes back later to challenge the Strawhats. If Luffy doesn't beat him here, he'll run into trouble anyways when Robin is reunited with the crew.
The Pirate's Summit - For a long time, I also thought that this referred to some sort of meeting ground, but then I read later from a couple translators that this referred to "reaching the top," like Deblas has said. Personally I'm still a bit doubtful towards dismissing possible inserted bias or liberties that the translators have taken there, but I'm still inclined to believe the metaphorical translation anyways.
There really is no end in sight for One Piece if Oda intends to tell his story without time jumps. However, the consequences of Luffy & co.'s actions at Enies Lobby combined with Luffy's will to become strong enough to protect his crew sets them up to be catapulted upwards into strong, high-profile pirates. If Luffy is far from "reaching the summit" now, his pace towards it should only increase from here.

Gears are finally explained!
Edit: 420 MQ Scan
Agree 100%, by the time after Enies Lobby and Crocodine debacle, he would be among the top pirates and widely feared. :)Quote:

Nice, we finally know about the gears.
Looks like we have some big marines come in, and ready for the buster call. It's going to be good to see how the Straw Hats are going to get out of this situation, well we should see Luffy take down Lucchi soon. They'll more than likely be getting onto a Marine ship, and might be able to avoid trouble for a second.
I see a 500,000,000 or 1,000,000,000 beli reward for luffy's head, and Zoro's increase and Sanji getting one, coming soon.
Once Luffy pulls a gear three out of his ass, thats the end of Lucci :p
this chapter rocked. Luffy is gonna fucking own luccis life. but I dont know how the hell they are gonna get out of there......... IS the sea train still available i forgot..
edit:.... after rereading the chapter they mentioned the ship so that answers my question.
If Lucci is flooding the underground passageway, how are Nami, Kokoro, and Chimney going to cope with it?
And it now appears that not only can Zoro and Sanji fall from great distances and survive, Ussop can too.
i dont think they are going to kill off ussop so easily and pathetically......................
After getting beaten up so badly now and again.. I think Ussop is more hardy than he thinks he is. But he still runs away. :p
GEAR THREE!!!
421 HQ Raw
Translation
:eek:
hahaha, I liked that chapter, it was quite entertaining, especially the Zoro, Sanji, Sogeking part. The little diagram with Zoro and Co, and Nami and co is awesome as well, I laughed out loud. I can't wait to see the faces on Zoro, Sanji and Sogeking.
He's gone upto gear 3, I don't even know what a gear 4 would be, but that fist was huge, Imagine the Bazooka with two huge fists, damn.
It seems Gear 3 is just blowing and sucking air from his body :p
roflmao @ gear three. Gear two is badass and gear three is funny. Giant punch, Jet punch is better :p .
Also, I love how Usopp kept trying to explain his weapon.
:O wow, how frein big did his arm get?? That is freakin ridiclous!!
Hahahha! It's a Popeye arm on steroids. Hold the spinach!
But Luffy only eats meat...Quote:

Edit: 422 MQ Scan
So, the fights not over. Can't wait to see more moves from Luffy.
Well, there's a little information on Lucchi.
That Vice Admiral is badass, anyone says anything that's against him or the Government, bang. Gone.
Just caught up... seems like Lucchi is even more badass than what we thought he was. And yeah that other admiral kicks ass, I hope we see at least one admiral fight during this arc before Luffy and company escape.
Also, Gear 3 is awesome. Only thing missing is Luffy mastering on using all gears consecutively in a fight, and he'll surely be almost unbeatable.
Lol...Quote:

Heres a scanlation of ch. 423:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/zkaryq
Wow, that last page certainly weirded me out.
No free download slots??... sendspace sucks.
THere's another version from Budak Getah's website. BUt the translations pretty bad.
The last page was funny. I laughed so loud my mom came running in thought I was in some kind of fix.
NoOoOoOoOoO......why'd the mermaid turn so fugly? :( But the old hag is awsome anyway;) .
Im not sure I really get what happened to Lucci, he was taking damage that should have happened before?
And chibi luffy looks hilarious.I wonder what gear 4 will do to his body :D .
man kokoro is so f'ing hot!!
And i bet it'll become a tubo fuusen!
hehe...I knew something was fishy about Kokoro (no pun intended). I dont see why she has to wear a clam bra though. =/
Life return is pretty cool. I thought that was something only Kumadori can do like Jyabura's Tekkai though. It would be very handy if Chopper learned how to do it not to mention he will have a much better upgrade than beserk Monster Chopper.
Lucchi is taking more damage by the minute. Maybe next weeks chapter is the end of the fight. Can't wait for it.
424 scan after all
I was about to download this then realised it was just cleaned and no trans.
Posted just in case anyone wants this.
424 Scan has been out for a while now.
pretty lame...
nothing REALLY happened.. though i wonder what happened to the franky family and the carpenters...
hmmm, that link I posted isn't a raw after all, it's part of the same one as you posted xDM, I just saw RAW everywhere written there that I thought it was just a cleaned MQ with no translation.
Not a bad chapter, I like how the Strawhats went into a state of shock from seeing the old mermaid hag, and then they try to make up why mermaids are so ugly calling her a demon one, that's lived for over 100 years, lol.
It seems the Luffy v Lucci fight might end next chapter, but that's been said a couple of times, but he has gone Gear 2 again.

ha. whens the last time someone died in one piece? there are so many people that should have died i the sky piea story alone. they'll live.Quote:

^^Yep. I was like WTF?
OP would be 2x better if people died outside of flashbacks. I bet Franky's crew and Co probably tricked the marines and right now are probably wearing maring outfits as a disguise:p .
Well, I liked the eagle dude but besides that, there should've been more deaths besides all the villians.
Nah, Pell survived in the manga too. I don't think they had the scene of him looking at his own grave like in the anime but he appeared in Gedatsu's cover story.
EDIT: Found it
http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h1...aku/343-01.jpg
Oda should really kill them off :p Give more emotional effect to it. I reckon they just fell down the middle waterfall... probably landed on a cliff or something. Though to Franky they should be dead. If not I doubt Franky would want to join Luffy's pirate crew, and/or Franky's pirate crew join Luffy.
Yeah.. but anyways.. I don't think the Franky Crew and Galley-la could ever return to Water7 anymore.. As their now criminals.
nah, i dont think it was an emotional enough death scene. not like conis's fathers "death". that was an awsome death scene
And his revival just as funny. :pQuote:

It would really be surprising if Oda decided to kill off characters at this point of his manga. Though if they die then the probability for Franky joining the crew becomes even higher (as if it isn't high enough) :cool:
I had almost forgotten the 1st objective of going to water 7 was "finding a carpenter! (and a musician)" All this stuff happened at enies lobby and it kinda puts that in the back of one's mind.
I guess if they survive, the Franky Crew, Oimo and Kaashi (giants), and Galleyla would form their own pirate ship and sail the sea's! They'll be the most terrifying ship creators/destroyers of the sea's. Probably the 2 girls or Pauly would be their leader. Everyone else seems abit too stupid.
too stupid to be captain? if i may direct you back to subject A: Luffy.
Chapter 426 scanlation
Lots of great stuff happening in this chapter.
Zoro's Yubashiri broke. I was waiting for Zoro to lose a sword. Now he might get himself a Oo Wazamono like the Wadou Ichimonji.
Luffy seems to be down but I'm really not worried. He'll just get a boost of strenght from something and finish up Lucchi. Next chapter marks the end of the fight I heard.
And just where the hell did Sanji go?
O
M
F
G
What an awesome chapter! So much happening! I can't wait to see this animated, and like Deb said, I want to see what Zoro's new sword will be like.
At first I though it wasn’t Zoro’s sword. How that happened? Zoro is not Zoro without three swords.
Luffy has taken quite a beating this time but as Deblas said, Luffy will get up to protect his nakama. He was so happy to see all his crew safely on board a ship before he went down.
Now its time for Luchi to GO DOWN.
I think I saw Kokoro smiling before Sanji disappeared. Both of them are up to something.
Zoro's sword isn't broken, he's holding all three in the last page.Quote:

No, that marine broke it. If you look closely, the sword on his right hand is not one of his Katana(the sword that has all those spiky things sticking out the guard)Quote:

Edit: Heh, Deb beat me to it.
Well, Sanji is definitely upto something, he wouldn't leave Nami and Robin there to fend on their own.
Seems, Zoro may get an awesome sword after this as Deblas said.
The Luffy v Lucchi fight has been going on for a long time, it should be ending soon, I can't see it going much further.
Nevermind...but anyway, i hope the fight ends soon; its been going on forever. But i dont know where they get all this 'evil' stuff from; thats a bit much. And correct me if im wrong, but isnt a major a higher rank than lieutenant?
I'm wondering how Zoro's sword broke so easily? Perhaps some devil fruit power or it was just too worn out.
Well after his sword got broken, they mentioned that they had devil fruit users among the people, so I assume that it broke because of it.
Woo.. Another exhilirating episode, that I just can't wait for next week.
IMo, Sanji's went ahead to crush the boats together with the fat ba ba chan.
And the unmasking of SogeKing who is really Ussop (WOW) would spur on Luffy strength to stand up and beat Lucci.
EDIT:
Do you think Zorro would use FunkFried? The Elephant as his new sword? Lol.
chapter 427 is out
sorry i dont have a link for you guys
Here's a link.
Ussop if finally back!
Finally the fight is over! :p
:( what a melodramatic ending.
OMG Ussopp was Sogeking?!!?!!
Unbelievable, the shock of the series! Ussop
Luffy has now defeated Lucci, taken on the World Goverment. I see one hell of a bounty coming soon.
Sanji is still missing, I wonder what he's upto, maybe using the ships cannons against themselves, would be easier letting them destroy themselves.
Hey umm im pretty sure i just saw zoro using three swords did he he steal one from the marines?
hey I'm right. Hahaha. Awesome awesome manga. Now time for them to escape. Sanji's definintely up to something, probably cooking up some power food for them to fight continually.Quote:

LQ chapter 428 is out now
sweet! say, are those "wanted" posters that came with the .rar file for reals or did someone just make them up?
And... The Golden Merry now a submarine? Heh :p
I'm actually really dissapointed that Merry is back. I'm gonna reserve my judgement till the end when we find out just what is going to happen to the ship but after four shipwrights who said that there is no way to repair it, I'll be really ticked off if Merry magically repaired itself.
I'd be okay w/ Merry's return if that's the ship's "last duty" before getting junked forever. I was looking forward to a new ship, actually.Quote:

Creepy!. :) But IMo, The 4 shiprights are no match compaired to the true heir of the king of shiprights. Franky and Iceburg. Maybe Iceburg could have repaired it.. Maybe..
Thing is that there is no way to repair the keel. The keel is the foundation for the ship. If it breaks or is removed the whole ship collapses. Even Franky who was raised by Tom said so and the Klabauterman was just able to do a touch up job on itself, not fully repair his damages.
Also, how the little broken ship was able to reach EL shortly after Rocketman and make it through Aqua Laguna is beyond me.
Yeah, I agree with you, I don't like how it is back, hopefully it's the last thing it does.Quote:

Could be the final voyage of the Going Merry. Probably doing final justice to the ship before it finally cracks.
I remember Oda said that in this arc we'll lose one team member. Either he was lying, or talking at first about Robin or Sogeking (though I doubt Robin and Sogeking now). I think the member that we will probably be losing is the Going Merry. Unless they somehow patch her up, and make it a super battle ship using the schematics that Franky has.
Umm where did Oda say that a member was going to be lost? Also, I'm guessing he was referring to Usopp who left the mugiwara pirates, he's fighting with them but technically he isn't a "team member" any more.Quote:

i honestly thought it was the giant whale Laboon who would be there... (the one they would crash into after reverse mountain)
But now i think it took a rather negative turn... Merry has been destroyed by franky... How could it then still be there...
He didn't destroy it.. just tore off a small part of the deck upstairs.
THe cp9 opened the door and it dropped into the ocean.
What makes you think it was shortly? I'd say it has been quite a while since they arrived. I mean, how long do you think it would take the Buster Call to arrive? And I'm pretty sure that whenever Merry was sent here it started to sail before the Buster Call was called upon.Quote:

It's all just speculation though. We don't really know how much it took them to reach EL and win all of their fights.
