Luffy definitely has the speed to keep up with an admiral, just doesn't have the ability to penetrate logia types yet. He's a fast learner (for combat onry), once he's aware of the concept of Haki he'll master it straight away, just as he mastered Soru by just watching CP9 do it a few times. Hopefully the whole point of the amazon-lily arc was for him figure this out, and we'll see it soon.

And yeah I guess that really was Kuma. It seems kind of weird though. Was thinking maybe the real Kuma would pop up later leading an army of Pacifistas to capture Whitebeard.

I still don't think Kuma is evil, he has to have some kind of hidden agenda. Or maybe I'm thinking too much into it and he just owed Rayleigh before he became a Shichibukai.

This is the one piece thread, where if you don't use spoilers for even modest spoilers Not Kuno morphs into Kunomaa Kitty, and snarls at you.

It's ok I've learned to avoid the OP thread when spoilers are out yet before the chapter is released.

Anyway back on topic.

Spoiler: show

Kuma did paw power against Oars 2 or whatever, so that is out. I can imagine them about to kill Ace and he does his Haki thing to save him but.. that would be pretty cliche. No idea what is gonna happen at this point but they will probably fight Moria again, at least now itll be easier with help.

Spoiler: show

mmmm so the Kuma we saw was actually one of the PX series, as it used a laser and didn't pause to shoot at Ikanov. Which means the real Kuma is doing something else... My guess is setting whatever plan Sengoku cooked up in motion. hmm hmm hmmmm.

Could be him who opened the door (after swapping with a clone)

[Furoris]

the real Kuma could always shoot Kizaru's laser from his mouth

edit: a little late >.> anyways i still agree that Kuma has a hidden agenda of his own, though really most of the Shichibukai seem to have something of some kind going on that the world gov wouldn't like

[Akiyama]

Yeah, most of the Shichibukai have some sort of hidden agenda that the government definitely wouldn't like. They just help the government out so they won't be on their back.

Anyway, about the chapter:

Spoiler: show

full of fucking epicness of epic. I love how Iva and Jinbei were super useful. I also loved Whitebeard's declaration at the end of the chapter. It's great to see him treating someone like Luffy like an equal, haha. Also, I like how Whitebeard's crew is all going 'wtf' to that as well.

When everyone discovered Luffy was the song of the Dragon.. I had a :O moment. I bet they are all freaked the fuck out and now some of his enemies are starting to understand why Luffy may be the way he is.

Either way, a great chapter.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I just finished watching episode 416. Shit is getting epic.

[Akiyama]

What's going on in 416 now? I haven't followed in a bit.

[Not Kuno]

The newest anime episodes have what is going on with the separated crew. The story is pretty good and is canon.

Spoiler: show

I like the whitebeard #1 guy (blanco? I can't remember, the dude who whitebeard says to protect luffy) he must be easily admiral level to be given that kind of assignment and he isn't a logia? user which makes it interesting.

Spoiler: show

His name is Marco and he's a mythical zoan user. I believe its a Phoenix and no doubt he's on the level of an admiral. I also like him and I hope we see a lot more of him.

[Not Kuno]

Marco is fucking great because he is zoan but can kick a lot of ass. Zoans are generally shown as weakest of the three.

I've always been interested if Chopper's Rumble Balls would work on other devil fruit users. I would make some sense that they'd work on at least some zoan types.

[Pharaun]

This chapter is pretty much what I expected to happen when Luffy got there.

Spoiler: show

Everyone finding out that Luffy is Dragons' son was epic. I wonder how Garp is going to fit in with the rest of the marines now that people know he raised the children of the two most dangerous men in the world. It was also neat seeing Whitebeard agree with Shanks assessment of Luffy, and being willing to bet the future on him.

[Correction]

The Rumble Balls only seem to make up for deficiencies inherent in Chopper's sub-average abilities. He can only seem to use 4 powers and he has to change form for every power he needs enhancing. Give a Rumble Ball to Marco and he'd probably get no effect since he's already a giant motherfucking immortal bird on fire.

I tend to think it was hinted at that Chopper will get a power up to where he wont need the Rumble ball to preform the extra transformations, specifically when in Enies lobby when he finally got arm point after using the second rumble ball by essentially stop trying to force it.

Also I think his third rumble ball form is rather similar to the "Awakened Zoan" Impel Down Demon Gaurds again implying that the rumble ball just lets him have early access to power he could obtain otherwise.

[Blarg]

I wonder what the plans for Dragon are. If he will ever be the focal point of a major arc or will he mostly be used as someone who luffy is referred to to show how crazy the D line of people are.

He'll probably become a focal point of whatever arc we find out about the lost history and the WG.

[Not Kuno]

Separated crew series episode 419

Chopper + Sanji

Spoiler: show

Choppers was...... exceptionally boring. Having to hear him cry for 10 minutes or whatever made me want to kill myself and nothing new happened. At all. It was terrible. Sanji's story on the other hand was funny as hell and was the only good part of the episode.

Robin and Usopp next week.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I find it hilarious that Luffy doesn't have a single sexual thought in his head. Boa's Mero mero beam had me laughing for a solid 10 mins.
