Golden Week. Again.

Or sickness.

Two things you can count on in Japan: about 15 Golden Weeks per year and multiple sicknesses each year.

Except it's neither. GOda is in Taiwan doing One Piece promotions.

It's already out?

[Correction]

Ya know what I'm pretty glad all these seemingly throwaway characters from the coliseum fight are back to make themselves useful again.

[blindSharingan]

I am ready for some one on one fights. C'mon Oda gimme.

This is what I'm hoping for too. But it seems the last few chapters had so many double pages, making them seem shorter.

Even though 4 of the crew members (and Momo/Joker) are out right now, there are so many characters in this arc. One on one fights will take ages to show.

[Vaspinne]

I don't think any of the scrubs/Colosseum fighters will get fights. Luffy, Zoro, and Kyros. Maybe Trafalguy but I see him possibly being involved in the Luffy vs Doflamingo fight. Zoro vs Pica obviously and Kyros vs Diamante (which might be another fight Trafalguy ends up getting involved with). Sabo has already had his spotlight, I don't see him getting some epic encounter. And we may have a chapter or 2 focus on Franky destroying the factory. But the major fights will only involve the 3 I mentioned earlier I'm guessing

[Not Kuno]

How quickly people forget Burgess is here too

[KCem]

I'd really like to see some one on ones on the same scale that we saw in Arabasta. So far we've been cheated in the new world, since the Straw Hats steamrolled Fishman Island mostly off-screen.

I remember when I first read the Alabasta arc and how every fight was pretty much 1v1, that it felt like it was taking forever and I was losing patience, particularly with Usopp's fight.
I wonder if I'd feel the same way going back. This arc so far has been far too much buildup and off-screen fighting, presumably because now we're dealing with much more going on at the same time. All the same it feels like Luffy's thrown maybe 5-6 punches since he left Punk Hazard.

Usopp's fight was 2 vs 2 in Alabasta =X

[Not Kuno]

Eines Lobby had good 1v1 fights. A few battle swaps too (Nami taking over for Sanji, Sanji switching to the wolf guy, etc etc).

I still hate the fact that the first few pages of chapters these days are fan art. I don't get it, are they being paid by artists or something? I don't want to see that shit.

Spoiler: show

Good chapter but I wish Zoro had more fighting. Then again his duel is probably not over and we'll see what happens next week. Also the Kanjuro bit was pretty funny. Glad to finally see him.

WHY DID YOU NOT MENTION THIS KUNO

Spoiler: show

ZORO ACTUALLY USED HAKI JUST NOW.

He...used it against Monet back on Punk Hazard. What are you flipping out for.

[Vandole]

That wasn't haki, remember? IIRC they gave credit to his death gaze. In that fight Zoro defeated Monet not using haki but using some form of fear relating to an animal. that's why in this chapter he said

Spoiler: show

finally getting the hang of this

against monet he was speaking about being a demon, and you cant control what they do etc. he -did- cut her using it once, but he beat her without using it because he can't control it. the whole reason i freaked out is because he actually did this time.
