Okay :|
No, i just expect a satisfying 1 on 1 after all those fodder fights when Law on the other side gets all the merits

*Uses scans of Zoro witnessing close friends being injured and getting upset but retaining a stoic expression to justify Zoro not being stoic when the person he's spent a day with is probably, maybe dead could be.*
Genius

Law has not been getting the spot light, he got development yes, but that is only back story building, battle wise he has been a punching bag for Mingo.

I don't mean to bash Law's character, but he has been broken again and again throughout this arc.

The guy dragged the Straw Hats into this mess and his entire plan failed miserably, the Straw Hats have been cleaning up his mess since he first got captured by Doflamingo.

So saying that he is getting the spot light is ridiculous, he has failed again and again this arc, just look at the latest chapter, he tries to kill Doflamingo only to fail and Mingo noted that he can stitch the injuries back together again, the only thing he accomplished was evening out the fight between Luffy and Mingo.

As far as this alliance goes the Straw Hats have been carrying most of the weight.

And Mingo has probably been just toying with everyone up to this point, like all final villains of the arcs he will introduce his trump card in the final battle against Luffy.

As for Luffy, he sent a executive flying when all the other characters had to fight to the bone to win, that is getting the spot light.

I'm curious how Fujitora is gonna justify the 'trust' he has In Luffy and Law now. Whilst every living creature in Dressrosa is about to be cut to pieces it seems innapropriate for any marine to still be standing at the sidelines. Same for the other pirates and the revs. At this point everyone should be rushing to where Doffy is. There is to much at stake.

bro do you know what spotlight means ?

Getting a moment to shine and be liked, Law is a giant bloody mess on the ground, that to me is not getting the spot light.

Law has been beaten, humiliated, shot, kicked, and verbally abused through half the arc, honestly the poor guy has had it rough.

Well I dont know why zoros scene is an issue here, I actually like to criticise writers and especially the manga I like the most but here is nothing wrong about this scene, first of all MR is a mistranslation, Viola never said Law is dead actually going my MS translations they think that Law is just beaten, u arent supposed to jump and panic around when someone is beaten, and viola probably saw law getting up immediately after that and fighting doflamingo so idk why does this sound a problem, zoro isnt fighting anymore on this arc, get it through ur thick skull.

Which Law has gotten multiple times. The middle finger, the Gamma Knife, the saving Sanji, stopping the Nutcrackers, Injection Shot.

I have no problem with Zoro not fighting anymore. I just want Oda to find a logical reason behind that weird character development to me because to me, that's not like how Zoro was supposed to react even if Law wasn't ultimately dead. Same goes for the Luffy thing. Maybe in the end i'd still like his fight, who knows? Depends on how Oda will develop it though. I just hope Oda doesn't uses a stupid excuse to discredit Luffy after all this time of Law dickriding. I also like Law, but i just don't like how he has been getting the major feats since 2arcs in a row now when the main character looks like shit

But either way i never expected the debate to be so long about it. I just wanted to explain shortly things i found weird.

 

[Amaterasu]

What the hell does people expect for Zoro to do ? Especially after what he did to Pica ?

Jumping to the fight like a bird ? Please, troll somewhere else ppl.

Loved this chapter 4.5/5 for me. My only real gripe about this chapter is the fact we keep seeing fodders complaining and fearing for their life. I get the emphasis of how desperate the citizens are about the situation but I think most fans have a understanding of how much faith is in Luffy and how dire and tragic the Birdcage is. That aside...

Spoiler

(Just addressing some of the posts here)
-About Zoro being stoic, not a big deal. In MS translation, Viola notes he has been beaten. Zoro and Law aren't nakama like other comrades so I wasn't expecting something like "OH MA GAWD, LAW, GAWD PLZ." Zoro told Luffy he'd take care of Pica and Luffy said he's got Mingo, plus he's way at the palace. He's been telling Luffy he needs to be the captain he can have faith in for a while and this is just another case of that.

-Law's "spotlight" has been on and off this arc. Makes sense he's the whole reason the SH's were in Dressrosa. He had a plan for Kaido to take down DD but he's been desperately trying to take him down personally every chance he gets. Now and before, he's been dominated by Doffy at times. He's waited for this moment for so long. Is it any surprise that we see him getting blows on Doffy? It's like when Vegeta was the one wronged by Freiza yet Goku did all the work. I like this route much better cause despite Doffy > Luffy and Law, we see that Law's cunningness will ultimately be the downfall of DD to the point where Luffy's perseverance will finally overwhelm this man.

Parts I really enjoyed about this chapter what Law's desperation. Struggling to survive, doing everything he can to stay in this fight. The Shambles with a dead body was a great surprise and I got hype seeing him in front of Doffy with the Gamma Knife (awesome move btw). The teamwork of these two D's is great to watch.

I also loved the dialogue between Law and Mingo but I honestly felt bad when Law's attacks couldn't finish the job thanks to Doffy's amazingly versatilie DF (always had a feeling he could string his body/organs like this though). I also really liked the emphasis of Law's frustration. Sure he has faith in Luffy but we can just how bad he wanted revenge for his dear friend. Props to Luffy for stopping Mingo's foot, I thought it was super badass. I'm loving the expression of both of their faces and with Luffy being in multiple fights taking blows, seems like these two are finally on equal footing since Doffy has some internal damage.

It's gonna be a great fight, get your popcorn ready for next week boys!

Why is it weird to you that Zoro didn't show some outward burst of emotion? This is perfectly within Zoro's character, especially since he has no bond with Law. Just the other day you were talking about how Zoro had utter faith in Luffy, now you think it's weird when Oda portrays with utter faith in Luffy?

Right ? Always people complaining for a detail nobody saw, just what did he expect, Zoro crying ? Lol.
Even worst, Law wasn't really dead so he is irrelevant.

Amazing chapter

 

[silmarill]

So Doflamingo did never realize he was in Law's room al the time.
Law said he waited all the time for this one attack. Which makes me believe it was his absolute trump card
So I guess it's safe to say Law shambling Doffy in the dead fodder his body was not an option? And we can put this 'Law can shamble anyone' soul and there is no way to defend against it' aside. What would have happened anyway if he did shambled Doffy into the dead fodder ..Seeing as how the body is dead would it mean Doffy would instantly die?

Pros: Dofla is badass.
Cons: all that teasing was a waste of time.

 

[Skylar Knight]

Doflamingo seems to share a lot of similarities with Enel. They both call/compare themselves to gods. Both of them hosted some sort of survival game. At some point, they both used their Devil Fruit abilities to "repair" their bodies (Enel starting his lifeless heart again, using his electricity). They're obsessed with destroying their own homes, which can both, in their own way, be compared to heaven (Marijois being a heaven on "Earth", Sky Island located 10,000 meters above the ground).

 

[Kiiszame]

Solid chapter. If Doffy would have gone down like that I wouldn't have minded. But I guess Oda doesn't want him to bit the dust like that.

Laws attack would solo anyone not named Doffy or Logia type (Not to sure about Logias).

Luffy is strong! Finally we get to see why he's the captain and not Zoro.
Two King Haki users will clash. Epic!

Btw these people are giants. How do they get so tall, Doffy, Admirals, etc. Them vitamins!

What the hell does people expect for Zoro to do ? Especially after what he did to Pica ?

Jumping to the fight like a bird ? Please, troll somewhere else ppl.

MS translation says Law has been defeated. Not dead. Big difference. Law is with Luffy. Zoro isn't worried because he knows Luffy will take care of it. Oops ddnt mean to respond to this one. Either way people are overreacting at Zoro.

How the **** do you counter the effects of Gamma Knife.. Doflamingo is a monster

U can prevent it hitting u with haki
but once it's hit the target ye it's pretty much game over, but same can be said about a magma fist from Akainu, a touch from Sugar etc
