Chapter 652: "Grim Prospects Ahead" -Discussion

[Oga Simpson]

I like Pekoms. I adore Tashigi. I love Smoker. I like this chapter.

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

So when the Strawhats get out of the water and enter the New World, they will face Smoker on the get go !!

It could be a first encounter but definitely no winner right there..the chase has just begun for Smoker.

[They call me D]

Smoker with the scar near the right eye, the pimp glasses, and a new hair style it seems. Pretty cool

oh that and Luffy now will be more damage to Big Mom's crew than Kidd. They took the treasure to replace the ships Kidd destroyed, but the huge explosion from the treasure will be sure to kill some people and blow up whatever ships are near it haha.

Caribou's fighting style seems kind of fun, too bad that he's nothing more than a butt monkey.

[kagehisa]

did Smoker do a Gattai with Crocodile?

[Skadi]

Caribou's fighting style seems kind of fun, too bad that he keeps getting beaten up. Wonder who is this YOU-KNOW-WHO person

Fixed it for you , and i think the same.
Dumb jokes of you know who in 3, 2, 1

So smoker is just vice admiral. What a disapointment.

[MarcelloF]

Damn, Tashigi's gotten better. Love how she diverted the canon ball. Reminded of what Zoro did with the bullets in the Krieg arc, but I guess this is different. She seems to have caught the canon ball with her sword and just threw it behind her.

[Nolus]

Oh wow, G-5 marines are surprisingly unorganized. I wasn't expecting that... and they love to torture pirates. With needles...

At least the "new Admiral is Smoker" theories died now. Him being a VA is nice enough.

[jonnyboy0079]

O good to see tashigi stepped up in the world and pimp Smoker now a Vice Admiral! AND OMG PEKOMS is soooo much cooler!

[Kishido]

Yep after BigMom he will join... but something strange about it... he said he joined Big Mom with his crew cuz they were wanted and it was the best way to protect them.

Now he wants to fight Big Mom and join Luffy... Yeah but his crew still will be wanted...

2 billion? Am I seeing this right?

How so.Vice Admirals are basically Lucci level with Haki.Thats a lot of power
Loved the Chap.Smoker is oozing of Badassness.Question could someone take a look at the correct trans and tell me if Pekoms actually agreed that he was using an ability.I dont trust Ms

[Demonicpoodle]

It seems that even the new cool-headed Nami gets heated when large sums of treasure are involved, haha. She's changed her ways to have less of a short fuse, but I guess old habits die hard.

Wasn't the most packed chapter but I liked the last few pages. Caribou with a machine gun, and especially that scythe which he looks threatening with, Tashigi!!, Smoker!!!!!, both looking multitudes more awesome than before. And it makes perfect sense for them to be assigned to G-5, "a bunch of insane Marines who don't even listen to their orders."

[Vongola_Boss_XI]

Welcome to the crew Jimbei (within the next few chapters).

Caribou works for you-know-who....he who must not be named huh. I do wonder who this is....

I think there is a chance this battle will come full circle back to Fishman Island to resolve the Noah story. Jimbei is joining and now we know the situation of the Sun Pirates. They are working for Big Mom....they're basically just like the Franky Family at this point. Jimbei will leave them in capable hands in the future. Luffy defeating Big Mom ends his current difficult situation which prevents him from becoming a Straw Hat fully.

[Katzztar]

Anyone else notice how these G-5 marines had hearts in their eyes when adressing Tashigi? Reminds me of both Boa and Alvida and peoples responces to them.

[Hinscher]

If i were to guess on YOU-KNOW-WHO, i would say Doflamingo.

Caribou seems like a Bellamy type, you know some scum that Doflamingo grabbed in, and lets do wahtever, but don't care if he dies

[Halfmetal-lich]

Excellent Chapter! Good to see that Tashgi got more powerful, but I dont like how Oda bascially gave her Nami's body shape, a usual critism of Oda and his female characters.

Either way, great to see Smoker back and Jinbe probably joining.

[kagehisa]

Yeah, what the hell is this noise?
