I used megaupload
Anyways... great chapter. Lots of things to see. And the inmminent return (so soon?) of the Flying Fish Riders...
Zoro deserves a flag of his own.
Ha...I called it....
Although yeah, I didn't think they'd come so soon either.
The interactions between the rookies is pretty amusing
Edit: interesting....
In the scene where Jewelry Bonnie tackles Zoro, she looks like a kid and her outfit looks different too. Maybe she ate a devil's fruit that lets her change her age? This would explain why Zoro thought she was a brat, anyway...

Nice catch.
She does look like a kid, specially when you see her 'crying' over him, when he is pretending to be dead.
PS: Congrats on the 9000th post. You used it on One Piece.
Haha, Luffy barfed on the tea cups.
This chapter really caught my interest.
There are so many paths Oda could take right now.
1. Cainie Kidnapper selling her to a Tenryuubito and her rescue results in the Tenryu being hurt which would bring in the Navy.
2. The Strawhat meet a Tenryuubito who will become a crew member or at least one that is not a complete bastard who will help them in someway since it's very possible that not all of them act like those we've seen.
3. The Pirates Rookie battle royal that a few have speculated.
4. The Navy is being held up, but by what? If whatever keeping them busy is not Dragon then this would be a great chance for his forces to do something. I would think that for a Rebel army, attacking and subsequently harming a majority of the peoples that the World Government is hellbent on protecting would be considered a great victory. If the rest of the Tenryu is like those we've seen so far then they are probably not very well liked by regular peoples, Dragon could rally a lot of support by attacking them.
5. We already got a hint at the end of Black vs Ace duel that it was the "trigger" for the great event yet to come. Shank and White Beard met for a reason, if I've learn anything from one piece it's that Oda rarely ever does anything without linking it to something else down the line. It is very possible for White Beard and Shank to team up and try to save Ace since Shank has ties with Luffy and White Beard would probably want to save his First Mate. That could be the thing that is keeping the Navy so busy that they won't worry about anything else unless it's a huge crisis.
Those are just some of my speculation, but Oda has created a perfect setup to where it's possible for anything to happen.
I personally would love to see either 4 or 5 happen and maybe even both together. I personally feel that while the stuff like Moria was really cool, having the Straw Hats beat one Shichibukai after another would get really stale. This is probably a great time for some shit to hit the fan and for things to get chaotic since they are close to going to the new world.
Aren't the Marines (Navy) being held up because of the Shanks - Whitebeard situation? I don't think we'll see Dragon yet.
In any case, I want to see the Strawhats land themselves in deep shit by attacking a Tenryuubito, but I'm also interested in seeing what Oda will do with the other pirate crews.
If she gets sold, then what's the purpose of calling in the flying fish riders?Originally Posted by Dark Dragon
Definitely not. The Tenryuubito are descendants of the world government founders, and pirates are just about as far from the world government as you can get. All the Tenryuubito have such luxurious lives...why would any of them want to change?2. The Strawhat meet a Tenryuubito who will become a crew member or at least one that is not a complete bastard who will help them in someway since it's very possible that not all of them act like those we've seen.
It's possible, but I think we can safely say it won't happen until after entering the new world. Personally, I think there's more potential here in developing a long-term relationship between these captains that, despite being rivals, it's still in their best interest to pick and choose their battles, form temporary alliances against greater evils, etc....just like the kind of relationship Shanks and Whitebeard have.3. The Pirates Rookie battle royal that a few have speculated.
I figured they were still held up by the Shanks/Whitebeard meeting from before...4. The Navy is being held up, but by what?

Haha chopper and brooke are hilarious....
Damn....I guess this explains why that woman said that the painter is stronger than all the rookies.

Wow! Not bad for a 500th chapter!!
A Roger Pirate! Nice!
Brooke and Chooper stole the show....
And somehow I can see the Mugiwara entering the Auction House to raid it... they already declared war on the World Government at Ennis Lobby by burning their flag so... how much trouble can they earn if they do this?
Luckily the tenryuubito aren't bidding...maybe they'll change their mind when they find out there's a mermaid.

If Straw Hats are will to cause trouble near World Government HQ that be enough to classify them as dangerous as Emperor of New World.

Damn I didn't see that coming man. He is a hell of a guy to just be able to knock people over like that. But, I'm curious. Am I the only one who finds it odd that a man like that doesn't have crew anymore? Or that he's in hiding? Or that the big guy only found him, and forced him to reveal who he was?
And also. How strong can the guy be? I mean yes he is stronger than the Straw hats. He can't be stronger than the Yonkou or Shanks. He is too old. And to anyone who wants to argue me on this, if he is so strong. Then why does he have a bomb collar around his neck? I mean if he's that strong, then why is he a slave? He should be able to destroy entire islands with his spirit alone. At least make whole towns shake and crumble. With Roger as his buddy and being his (right man) as well as being able to snipe people with his energy. He should be out with a new bad ass crew of the best pirates in the New World. Or on a Yonkous crew, showing them how to be a great pirate from what he learned with Roger.
even roger was taken down, in the end.
and it doesn't matter how strong he is, if he's got a collar.
as to how did he get the collar. somebody probably tricked him, or ganged up on him (3 admiral, Garp and Daibuddha. for example).
besides, he has already been to the final island, and knows what 'one piece' is (my theory - the final tablet of the truth), what need does he have for a crew.
Well we don't know anything for sure. Perhaps Roger handed himself in for some reason. And also, how do we know his entire crew made it to the final island? You never really know with Oda.....
The old man could not have been a prisoner until just recently, because he was working in the shop until a few months ago, when he wandered off...

Which makes me think that he must've either really done something wrong. Or that he was really wanted and finally the auctioneers found him out and wanted a huge piece of the cut from the sell off, so they jailed him. For the most part though, I think he just wanted to be caught and spend some time there away from the world. Because in all honesty, if you were the pirate kings former first mate, with that skill and power, would you want to be known all over the world. Or in a town like that?
well, we can't be sure that they actually know who they've caught.
it's been ages since Roger's time, and he doesn't seem to be in special containment. therefore (considering what they did to Tom) I don't think they know who he is.
he probably just got bored and took a nap there. and woke up in jail, and doesn't have any good reason to get out (until now).
most likely that all the rookies are looking for him now. which is why they're all in town.
