[megachillx]

Nami = Lightning element
Sanji = Fire element
Brook = Ice element
Jinbe = Water element
Zoro = Wind element
Usopp = Plant element
Chopper = Earth?
Robin = ???
Luffy = No element

What about Franky?

[Cyborg009]

Best....Chapter...Ever!!!!!

'nuff said.

[Ghostprincess Perona]

lamest chapter ever, nuff said..To much double spreads Dx Also choppers monster form is ridiculous stupid he does the same as before only that he has a clear mind by now...=_=

MS makes several confusing mistakes again. Ask me anything on translation and I'll see what I can help.

What is Usopp actually saying about the wolf's nose? Doesn't make much sense. Is he saying the shockwave is 3M in diameter?

Those were all absolutely amazing, especially Franky and Brook. Hot damn that was awesome to see. XD

I enjoy Pop Greens but I really hope that Usopp's entire fighting style won't revolve around them now... I did enjoy his other stuff a lot.

[igetownd]

:( Why no Franky

Oops.

Franky: Metal element... if metal comprises of technology

[DarthAsthma]

What loose ends did the timeskip leave?

I meant that in general. Time skips leave a lot of questions about character growth, which I think are hard to resolve in a story enviroment where we want our protagonist to struggle. If you look at other manga and how they handled timeskips it becomes clear that it's hard to do it properly.

Oda resolved his time skip pretty good(but in my opinion it wasn't as good as I'm used to) and the only way I think he could have done better is with him taking more chapters, which I don't think would be to ideal.

[megachillx]

It kind of looked like an impact dial tbh. I bet he will still use dials.

I feel like I just got robbed. Advance the fking plot alredy -__________-

And what's the issue with that? What is "ridiculous stupid" about having a skyscraper-sized form that can feasibly one-shot a tremendous number of adversaries, especially the fact that he has total control over it now?

[MBL]

Brook made the chapter for me. The others where great too, but I just love Brook, and I really like to see his swordsman power.
Also, nice to see Franky fighting on his own, and not in that mecha thing. I didn't like that.

[Squaztina]

Yeah, literaly it goes like this: "A frog in a well does not know the great sea."

[MasterKingJC]

Mine are:
#1 Franky: IT'S A BEAAAAAAAAAM!!!!
#2 Brook: EPIC HAIKU
#3 Zoro: BADASS PROVERB
#4/5 Usopp: The Lord hath sayeth, so the Lord shall giveth.
#5/4 Sanji: Super-Saiyanji
#6 Jinbe: I don't know what Buraikan means but it looks cool.
#7 Chopper: Cool name, but it's his standard attack in Monster form.

Yeah, Chopper's move was pretty cool, but all he really did was just slap Dosun with his hand.
And when compared to the others, it dwarfs in comparison.

yeah oda, what's with all these elements of shonen manga in my story

[Just_Gabe]

Luffy = Meat element

And Robin = Sexy Element
Franky = Plasma Element

I felt the chap a bit short but...HOW THE HELL CARES!? THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

[Jabra]

Jinbe's move was my favorite, just sick.

Now he proved how fishmen karate looks like at the high level, all while still being on land.

Sanji's was okay, I liked his usual cooking related comment more than the attack itself.

Same case with Zoro kinda, lame attack, but the frog reference was awesome. Still feeling a bit sad about Hyouzou, he had the potential to become a worthy opponent.

As for the rest, terms like "weakling trio" are officially dead now, all of them evolved incredibly and I wouldn't want to face any of them in battle.

[Black Leg]

DAMN! a fricking awesome chapter! of all of them i think i loved Brooks the most, his face was just so creepy and his finishing line was just so... Brook

Oh ok, I see what you mean.

Screw the plot, We have Boners... of Awesome!

[DarthAsthma]

The thing I disliked most about this chapter is the pacing.
But I appreciate that Oda still tries out new ways to tell his story.

But having that many finishing moves at once, kind of diminished the coolness of each one for me.
I hope this format of finishing fights won't make a return.

Whoa. Didn't notice that until you mentioned it.
