[Rand al'Thor]

This is why I love op
Awesome chapter. It was obv that dofla is related to the Tenryuubito and it got confirmed.Brook is awesome...

 

[ekichi onizuka]

Why did oda skip the god damn fight pfff....

i give it a 3 for story progression,i guess.

 

[WhistleBlower]

Overall pretty dull chapter but we got to learn some much needed history and some humorous moments. A 4/5 from me xd

Positive feedback

- Story progression with both tontatta army teams coming together

- Doflamingo being related to the celestial dragons confirmed FINALLY!! IT WAS ABOUT TIME TOO!! :heh:
- That part where that tontatta kid telling zoro which way is right/left was absolutely hilarious XD

- I don't see what the problem really is. The don quixote family gave control of Dressrosa to the riku family, and later took it back with extreme force [ Doflamingo & his crew ]

- Cavendish's entrance was awesome. Shutting people up with his speech and then nekminnit was like "ooh they are cheering for me...i'm popular again after 3 yrs!!?" Lol

Negative feedback

- Law is down for the count
- This said, it was an unfair fight. An Admiral from Navy HQ & Doflamingo were too much for the 440 million beri rookie.

- Looks like Nami, Brook, Chopper and Momonosuke are heading towards their doom :hyper:

Apparently there's some confusion about this:

20 kings of 20 countries created the WG 800 years ago. After that 19 of these 20 kings left their countries to live in the Holy Land Mariejois. The only family that remained in their country was the Nefertari family of Alabasta. The descendants of these 19 royal families are called now the Celestial Dragons. One of the 19 families that went to Mariejois was the Donquixote family of Dressrosa. Now logically because these 19 families left their countries, 19 new rulers were appointed as someone had to rule these countries and for Dressrosa this was the Riku family. It's not stated as how this was done. It could be that the Donquixote family appointed them, it could be that the Riku family used force, it could be that the people themselves voted for the Riku family etc.

Now, 800 years later, Doflamingo of the Donquixote family staged a coup d'état against the Riku family and became again the royal family of Dressrosa.

Highly likely most people don't know this story. I mean even Law didn't know about this and Doflamingo's last name is very well known. So, as I hypothesized before, I think that the Donquixote family lost its standing at some point. I mean why would a Celestial Dragon of all people become a pirate and a Shichibukai? And when Oda drew Doflamingo as a child, he looked a bit like a vagrant. So because his family lost the Celestial Dragon status, he went back to the country his family ruled 800 years ago.

Why would Oda show what Dofla can do so soon in the arc or Fujitora for that matter. I'm satisfied from what I've seen from them, we'll see how strong Dofla is in the end. Law had absolutely no chnace of winning so showing a rape wasn't needed.

At first I was afraid it was gonna be a fodder chapter, I didn't really care for any of the fodder nor Cavendish, the only thing I did care for was Luffy and Rebecca which were pushed to the side, well there was the Cabbage shuting the haters but still ..., so the first half gets a 2.5/5

than the chapter got awesome, Doffy seemingly should be the ''rightful'' king of dressrosa since he is one of the original royals which went and became creators, thought the method he used to become king seemed to be wrong, maybe the riku family was popular and Doffy couldn't just walk back so in a time of crisis he framed the prev. king and took the throne

the legendary Usoland is going to war ... I mean making plans how to run away

Zoro apparently doesn't know which way is right and which left XD XD

well there was kinda of a consensus that Doffy's family is above just a normal king so the bloodline is of no surprise but still it was awesome

Law seems to be screwed bad, Doffy and Fujitora sure did a number on him, also Brook was badass in this chapter, he was awesome ... I already cut you, though I'm curious weather they are still on course to Green Bit

but the biggest question for me after reading the chapter is the Nefertari royal family I'm really interested how Vivi will tie back into the story, she's awesome, also the fact that they had the poneglyph and the knowledge of an ancient weapon ... I so can't wait

the 2nd half gets a 5

but because of the fodder I just can't give the chapter a 5 so it'll have to be a 4

 

[6thpathsage]

I like the OP community in nb, never complaining but today's ch was a lil boring to me 4/5

 

[David1996]

Damn... Law !!

 

[BlueStarSaber]

Well I think the begging with Rebecca want a bit to quick still the rest was brilliant.

Hey guys! Someone from another site mentioned...
"...Monkey Donquixote Luffy..."
...and it really had me thinking.

What do you think? I mean it's worth saying.

For a second you mad me in a jaw drop moment ._.

But nah I dont think so since there is no reason for all of these D pirates to have a single inicial while Dolfamingo represents the full name

how about Donquixote D Flamingo?

after all the majority of the population thought it was Gold Roger, why not mistake Doflamingo as well?

 

[Frozenstein]

lol Zoro... Curly Eyebrowland and Topknotland... XD

Brook saves the day hehe xD "look this is a sword stick... I already cut you up" xD

Tho I'm not surprised about Doflamingo being royalty...

Awesome chapter!
I was hoping to atleast see some more of Cavendish actually fighting. His horse kinda makes him a bit of a joke character as he's based on good looks : I'm even starting to doubt he will win the block.

Pica is the other leader.... I'm intrigued to learn more about the leaders: I assume they can all use haki.

Oda has kind of set things up for the M3
Luffy will fight Diamante in the colloseum
Zoro will fight Trebol (he appears to be a logia user of some sort and Sanji hasn't been shown to use Busoshoku Haki)
Sanji will fight Pica.

Not really as the meaning of 'D' has been one of the biggest mysteries in the series. From all over the world there are people who have 'D' in their names, even giants and that would refer to...Donquixote? Only one of the 20 royal families of the WG?

I don't even remotely see any kind of sense in that. Not to mention whatever we know about the 'D', gives the vibe that if anything it's the opposite of the WG. In the end it comes down to that Donquixote just starts with the letter 'D'. I need to add to that that Dressrosa is inspired by Spain and one of the most important literature works from Spain is Don Quixote.

Well as it was predicted ages ago: Doflamingo has ties with the Celestial Dragons. I would say that, at some point, the Donquixote family fell out of grace (the picture Oda drew of Doflamingo as a child, where he looks like a vagrant, also points in that direction). So trying to climb up again in life, he took back the country which his family ruled 800 years ago.

If this is true, then I can hardly imagine that he carries any kind of affection for the WG and that his final goal is to become the Pirate King and to take revenge on the WG. Just a hypothesis based on what we know so far.

Also considering the previous king was just called a 'pyromaniac' and the burning villages we saw in the previous chapter's flash-back where Diamante, one of Doflamingo's men, was one of the arsonists, I'm going to assume Doflamingo simply framed the Riku family.

Curious though that the Nefertari family remained where they were and even had a poneglyph.



Save your breath, it's fairly obvious this guy isn't sensible for reason and just wants to cause a riot. I banned him from the thread.

I have a feeling every one of the founding families which are currently not in Mariejois posess a Poneglyph

Sanji will fight Trebol, because Trebul hurt Violet. Also, Sanji has busoshoku haki.

'Loved today's chapter!!

I was kind of getting bored with fights. ( I do not like long drawn fight scenes that much) but too many good panels this week.

yeah that "D" means something against the WG. if I remember correctly, Roger said that one person with the "D" in his name will so something major, maybe change the world? or inherit his will or something.
