Man....so hard to keep track of everything that was going on during the name drops.
Looked like all the newbies with six figure bounties are captains except for Zoro and that helmet guy with the two blade hands... I wonder if that means they will end up fighting...

I really like how Oda's system of power works in this series. Just because you have a huge bounty doesn't necessarily mean you're the strongest. For example the lady said Kid's bounty is only over 300 million because he kills civilians. This way it is easier to pick fights between people with different bounties but still not know the outcome. Oda is a genius.
It would be great if these guys all become frequent rivals in the new world....which would probably be the second half of the whole series.

Great chapter. But man... so many new characters. And we still have not seen all Shichibukai nor all Emperors.
I liked that one of the new pirates is a native from Sky Island.
I wonder that if they have more bounty people on their crews... I remember they saying the Mugiwara were 'special' because no crew had a bounty on each and every member (although... the crew IS small)
One of the rookies being from Sky Island is awesome and all...but it also kind of breaks the continuity of "the existence of Sky Island is just a myth" kind of attitude everyone had back in Jaya. Then again, I think they broke that continuity as soon as the sky knight explained about there being a far easier passageway up for tourists than knock-up stream.

Well... remember Gol D Roger did go to Sky Island, and that Gedatsu runs a Hot Spring in Alabastra.
I mean... only strong pirates (or daring) know the truth behind Sky Island, whereas the lame ones or un-adventurous (like Bellamy) do not believe in the existance of it, even in the Grand Line. (And this guys do not seem like Tourists to go the easy way either... )
Yeah but all the rookies are pretty well-known in the papers, so Bellamy had to have noticed.Originally Posted by RyougaZell

No, not really. There are supposedly 7 paths from the Reverse Mountain to Mariejoa. The Strawhats kind of cheated and switched paths, since they found the Eternal Pose to Jaya on the Saint Bliss (the ship that fell out of the sky). Navigation is tough, since without an eternal pose, you have to go to the next island. I'm not surprised nobody on Jaya believed in Sky Island, or had heard of the Skypeian rookie.
On the other hand, all the paths converge on the current island, so anybody who listens can hear all the best rumors from the Old World.
Regarding the other route to Skypeia, the Strawhats might have found it if they had taken a different path from Reverse Mountain.
I disagree.
The logpose pointed to Sky Island after Arabasta. They made it a point to get off Jaya before their path was altered, so they stuck with their designated route the entire time. This means that Sky Island is part of their path from reverse mountain.
If another path leads to a connecting island that can take you to Sky Island, then travelers who take THAT bridge will be the ones converging onto Luffy's path.
