[Predictions] One Piece Manga Chapter 745 Discussion and 746 Predictions

[cryhwks]

Since when do color pages have any connection with being on a break?

Whenever Oda does a color page the Manga is always on break that next week. A guy who does the official translation for the One Piece manga said that and before that I never realized that was the case but ever since I've noticed that every time Oda does a color page the Manga is always on break that next week.

Why? I don't know. It just may take him a lot longer to do those than a normal page. Because he does usually put a lot of detail on those color page's.

- Robin not telling Luffy about Sabo is stupid. Stop making Luffy so ignorant Oda.

- Not sure why someone like fujitora or even Bastille can't cut down the strings surrounding the island, but alright.

It's not up to Robin to tell that, maybe Sabo even requested that he wanted to be the one to inform Luffy. There is also this thing from the war that needs to be explained. So don't blame Luffy's ignorance for your own impatience.

And Fujitora and Bastille didn't even try to escape yet, so don't just assume.

 

[Omniman]

Doflamingo is my fav villian now. The guy is just crazy as F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5/5 for Doflamingo's craziness!!!!!!!!!!!!! :x3: :x3:

Blaming Luffy's ignorance on my impatience, really? Robin knows that Luffy's brother who he thought was dead is alive, and doesn't tell Luffy after all this time? She didn't want to mention anything about that?

wasn't the last color page right AFTER a break?

anyway, no there is no chapter next week because WSJ is on break, the color page this week was probably because this was a double issue before the holidays in Jap

Yeah but there was another break that next week.

The Last color page was chapter 741 it came out May 12. 742 came out May 26.

It really doesn't matter anyways Oda has been taking a lot of breaks in general lately. I mean counting when the Manga comes back in 2 weeks it will be like 6 chapters in 10 weeks

- Robin not telling Luffy about Sabo is stupid. Stop making Luffy so ignorant Oda.

- Luffy uses Jet gatling against Doffy without Haki, Why?

- Pica is awesome, he's shaping up to be one of my favorite subordinates in this series.

- Not sure why someone like fujitora or even Bastille can't cut down the strings surrounding the island, but alright.

- Battle royal sounds cool. I'm curious as to which of the tournament contestants will go against our protagonists and what exactly will Fujitora do other than defend the citizens.

Cool chapter overall

Why is it stupid? And how does that make Luffy ignorant?

It's very easily possible Sabo didn't tell Robin about his specific relationship with Luffy and even if he did, he might have asked Robin to not tell Luffy about him being alive and even if he didn't do that, it's possible Robin decided on her own to not tell him because she might think it's something Sabo needs to do himself. After all this is something between Sabo and Luffy and does not involve Robin.

What would have been better than, huh? *two year time skip* "Hey Luffy, Sabo is alive! He's only going to play a role though in two arcs, so reveling it now is utterly pointless and ruins the entire atmosphere, but whatever!" That's not how you write a story.

Doflamingo is overestimating himself

He thinks he can just go and threathen everyone, that's very naive of him
He just condemned himself, he surprised me tbh going all maniac, would have thought he would be more subtle in the way he handled things .
maybe he wants to have fun one last time before he goes out?

Can't wait for next week, like every time

How is he overestimating himself? Yes he can threaten everyone and he just did. There is no doubt the majority of the people on Dressrosa could be killed by him in the birdcage in a flash and there is nothing native about it. He doesn't know that this is a story with Luffy as its protagonist.

He has been underestimating Luffy, but underestimating your opponent and overestimating yourself are two different things.

true but I do believe there is a break for all manga next week?
Am I wrong? I hope so...

Anyway awesome chapter,never could get too much into fights through the manga so Luffy vs Doffy wasnt as amazing to me as to some (still awesome tho) but I rly like the idea of "Birdcage"

Quite intrested in what will happen with Fuji.You would asume he would be able to destroy the strings quite easily and allow evreyone to exit

An individual series taking a break and the entire magazine taking a break are different.

Whenever Oda does a color page the Manga is always on break that next week. A guy who does the official translation for the One Piece manga said that and before that I never realized that was the case but ever since I've noticed that every time Oda does a color page the Manga is always on break that next week.

Why? I don't know. It just may take him a lot longer to do those than a normal page. Because he does usually put a lot of detail on those color page's.

I just checked some of the recent color pages and I already found one in which this was not the case. So even if it would be the overall intention, it's not a 100% certainty.

By god, Mingo is just.. Diabolical!

There is litterately, zero redeeming qualities about him! With other OP villains, there has in genneral seemed to be... some redeemability with a bit of work.
Here.. nope nope nope.. What a NASTY piece of work.

Oh oh.. The manhunt for the Straw-hats has begun hasn't it? And.. Franky and Usopp is not in a very good position to defend themselves right now <_<

Though I wonder... I wonder whether this plan wont just backfire on Mingo, that it'll just make every-body in Dressrossa make a truce and stand together against him.
I mean as in.. every-one.. Marines that happens to be there, pirates, citizens, gladiators, world leaders, revolutionaries.. what's to stop them from saying.

"No Mingo! We wont dance to your tune! Until that bird-cage is gone, we are now going to work as one big unity you bastard!"

That could happen right? Mingo goes. "Kill Straw-hat Luffy." and people go. "No.. he helped us... or, his crew-mate helped us by breaking the curse and exposing you, you rotten bastard. So... no.."

They are soon all going to find together in one group again the straw-hats, aren't they?


Where did Rebecca go, wasn't she with Sabo and Koala? Also, cute detail that Robin all-ready knew those two, I had totally forgotten all about her having spend those two years with the revolutionary!

 

[Love Cook]

Blaming Luffy's ignorance on my impatience, really? Robin knows that Luffy's brother who he thought was dead is alive, and doesn't tell Luffy after all this time? She didn't want to mention anything about that?

Yeah and while she's at it she can maybe spoil some things about Dragon too, so that way we don't have anything to look forward too Mr. Impatience.

Do you know what the concept of a story is ?

 

[Red Swag]

Now that's what I call a villain. I still find it strange though, what is DD's purpose now exactly? I mean he is going on about how he needs to kill everyone now or how he now needs to rule everyone with terror now and his men talking about the Smile-factory being his life...why? Why is ruling Dressrosa so important? And the Smile-factory? Yes producing Smile probably generates a lot of profit and it would take some time to rebuild it. But still someone of his stature shouldn't have too much problems with that. He should be able to take over an island or two without a hitch, but now he's practically acting like a total psychopath and explaining that Dressrosa has some kind of sentimental importance to him, seems a bit too easy for the way he's acting.

No I still believe there is still something hidden very deep in the plot that makes DD the way who he is.

bcuz Doflamingo is... Kaido:snick::xylon:

 

[Omniman]

bcuz Doflamingo is... Kaido:snick::xylon:

Or Doffy is the Steve Jobs of OP Underworld with all his iSMILES XD XD

 

[Shinichi Izumi]

Do you know what the concept of a story is ?

Yes I do, and if you have to resort to making the main character ignorant of things just so the reader is ignorant of it also then it's not a very good story is it?

And why the hell do you keep calling me impatient? I couldn't care less when these things are revealed.

Read all ur posts in the thread. Well thats how Luffy is. He is just uninterested about the world around him. He only cares about eating, being with his nakama and having fun and adventures. On the other hand Robin is too secretive and knows other straw hats wouldn't give a damn about The Rev Army. Also most probably Sabo himself wanted to tell Luffy that he's alive. None of them is out of character here. They're just like that.

Did Luffy ever tell Robin about his relationship with Sabo? If not, why would she talk about him?

 

[Skylar Knight]

So, in the end, if everything goes according to Doflamingo's plan, there will only be one survivor? And since Law seemed to be the only one who actually knew about 'Birdcage', does that mean he was the previous winner? That would explain 'Kora-san'.

 

[Shinichi Izumi]

Did Luffy ever tell Robin about his relationship with Sabo? If not, why would she talk about him?

This chapter proved that she knows of their relationship because Robin asks Sabo if he's met Luffy yet.

 

[The Sach]

Nice chapter, overall really enjoyed it 5/5.
-I really liked the entire 'bird cage' plan and the way Doflaminogo has woven that plan, I don't know why but it kinda reminded me of the 'survival game' from Skypiea arc. Maybe another parallelism?Lol
-I really liked the way Oda displayed the abilities of Doflamingo, no doubt he is one heck of a guy with that clone woven ability and ability to execute something as grand as the bird cage plan. Maybe 'Luffy vs Doflamingo-part two' is going to be fight to look forward too.
-Pica's ability and the way it is foreshadowed that Zoro is going to be his opponent kinda reminds me of Alabasta arc, where Zoro was in similar situation against Mr.1.#inb4AlabastaandDressrosa.
-Just like many guys said above me, I find it rather interesting that Law was the only guy who knew about 'Bird Cage plan'. I rather want Oda to go into little into his back story, especially on his back story with Dofy, preferably from Law's point of view.
@That entire Robin not telling Sabo thingy- I kinda feel that Robin knew about Sabo, since the pretty first thing that she asked to Sabo and Koala was, did they got chance to meet Luffy,which clearly an indication that she knew the truth.
She stayed mute probably because she didn't want Luffy to know about Sabo, because Luffy might have reacted in rather 'unusual way', and she didn't want that to happen.u.u
I don't see it as a Luffy being 'ignorant case' but rather like to look at it from Oda's writing style perspective U_U

 

[aimop95]

Donflamingo should be pirate king.

Forget Luffy this guy is great. He's like the poison guy from Impel Down, except with charisma.

 

[silmarill]

He has been underestimating Luffy, but underestimating your opponent and overestimating yourself are two different things.

Asides from strawhats the revs are also there, not to mention an admiral
Now we haven't seen very much of Fujitora but Doflamingo himself have seen first hand @ marineford what Admirals are capable off and what kind of damage they can take and get up afterwards unscathed (yes I know they were Logia's) but their strength could not be that far apart
Now hes basically saying, if u got the balls come try and kill me.

Either he is very confident in his abilities or he is overestimating himself

 

[Moonbird]

For the Robin not telling Luffy about Sabo thing..

Some-thing tells me that Sabo asked Robin not to tell Luffy, because he wanted to tell Luffy himself and explain himself in his own words ones they meet.

As it happens though, their meet up left very little time for explanation, but I am pretty sure that'll come later as Sabo gets to hang a bit out with the Straw-hats and tell a bit more about what the revolutionaries are up to... Also.. "Luffy your dad says hey."

For some-reason, the thought of Sabo saying that to Luffy amuses me...
