Chapter 659: "About My Torso"

[YouDNewb]

Imagining brownbeard's head shrunken is rather hilarious, and I also hope Hawkins has it stashed somewhere. But I want to see what Smoker will do now seeing Law is on the island and neither of them are meant to be there.

[RomanceDawn]

It's not a THEORY if there are NO supporting facts whatsoever. I mean, Buggy being a Shichi is a theory, and there's so many hints and supporting scenes in the manga that it's incredibly probable. Law being responsible for Leggy and the rest of the Samurai was a valid theory. The silhouette of "Boss" VAGUELY resembling Brownbeard, and not even that if you would take the time to f*cking compare his beard with the silhouette, is NOT a theory but some wild fanfiction pulling "support" out of your ass like "oh Hawkins could have changed his mind and let him live" blabla same ol' Bullshit...




Amen to that.

I dont know why you are so pissy but seriously relax a bit, this guy being Brownbeard is much more plausible than Hodi being Kaidou or even Arlong. Brownbeard very well may be dead, but again I can't see Oda killing him off panel like that.

More importantly he was established as somewhat of a non- threat with no where to claim from the beginning. The idea that after getting kicked out of Whitebeards old island by Hawkins, presumed dead, then went and got involved with Law after trying to claim Punk Hazard isn't farfetched at all. The brow, the hat and over all body type does have a similar appearance, maybe after 2 years he changed up a bit. But don't come in hear acting like that when its far from a dumb theory. It may not be him but it very well could.

Brownbeard was just a poser. I hope Hawkins has his shrunken head stashed somewhere.

I really hope the same thing, King Cannon.

I'm probably just thinking that IF it's him, it'd be quite terrible story writing imho and I don't see how that can turn into an "interesting" plot twist at all. Excuse me for overreacting a bit but I'm not alone with that thought and to me, it'd just seem off. So there you go. The "theory" is still pretty damn baseless and we'll probably see tomorrow.

I don't think it's Brown Beard, I don't want it to be Brown Beard, and I HOPE it isn't Brown Beard... but it could be Brown Beard...

[Katzztar]

People keep saying the boss looks like Brownbeard ... but others had said it resembles Broggy. It's too small to be Broggy, but bigger than Brownbeard.

To me, it is a new character Oda has made that has a wide body type same as those two have.

EDIT = I will admit that I can see why people do believe its Brownbeard, esp the face and eyes in the last panel here
But I still think that Oda will give a new character whose purpose is tied to the centaurs, simialr to how Magellen's importance to the plot of OP is tied to Impel Down, or how Ax-Hand Morgan and Kuro's improtance to plot is the early East Blue stories. In other words, this character is introduced for this
current story

I will not argue this with anyone as everyone is allowed to have their own ideas, even me.

I'm gonna bring the topic of Law back up.
The thing that still bugs me is the 100 hearts thing. His DF ability allows him to cut anything and let it live, so if he collected the hearts of 100 pirates, that means they are still alive. And assuming those hearts are still in posession of the WG, that means they can kill said pirates anytime they want. Seeing as how all law has to do to win a battle is open his "Room" and steal your heart, I think that would make him one of the most dangerous pirates out there atm. I wonder if his DF works on logia type...

*Edit. Also, Smoker is so badass, he can smoke cigars through a gasmask.

It makes sense that he cut out the hearts with his fruit ability, but I think he did it the old fashioned way.

But about your actual point, I really hope the Heart Pirates battle the Straw Hat's. Law's powers seem almost too good if he can just remove organs like that, and the limbs alone seems over whelming. So I would really like to see Oda take his ability head on, him and Bonny.

That seems extremely gorey to do it the old way for this type of manga...I'm gonna assume until proven otherwise he used his ability, and the pirates are still alive. I know that there's some characters that were said to have killed hundreds, but I don't think we got anything specific on how they died with a couple exceptions, (Caribou burying people alive) and Whitebeard and Ace onscreen deaths.

[rituel]

The thing is, the WG pays as much attention to future threats as they do to immediate threats. Remember, they tried to kill Ace before he was born.



Not surprising, considering that the biggest feat he did so far in the series was being owned by WB. Honestly, he didn't do more than Lacroix or Ronse.

no ace was different he is the son of the fucking pirate king, it was more like revenge and vengeance rather than killing off threats. The WG wanted to wipe clean anyone connected to gol D roger, even an UN-born child. They didn't want to kill Ace cause he could be a threat in the future they wanted to killed him because he was the son of Roger and carried his blood. But they didn't spend all their resources on it now did they? They were just thinking if we can finish him off now then we don't have to worry about him in the future, that's the kind of attitude they had. Just like how they thought of Luffy when he attacked marineford they know he has the potential to become a huge threat but for now he is not and they have more pressing matters to tend to . It doesn't matter in what kind of world you live in everyone knows that the immediate problems need the majority of your attention for the moment till another problem of a more pressing nature surfaces. That is why its called problem requiring "immediate" attention.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

They know luffy is strong and while he was "weak" in the war Akainu clearly knows that luffy has the talent to be fucking strongn like an admiral and im sure luffy is now stronger then every vice admiral and only below the admirals

yes Akainu knew he(luffy) was strong and focused all of attention on killing him when he had the chance to kill luffy when luffy was in his grasp. But when luffy got on the submarine and it dived into the water did they mobilize all their force to chase him? NO, they didn't because Blackbeard's causing trouble and white beard too so they gave up on luffy and turn towards BB and WB. I mean with sengoku, Garp and the three admirals still un-injured and the pirate forces separated with them only having to take care of WB and BB they could've sent all of the surviving marines and few vice admirals to chase luffy. So my point is when Akainu had the chance to kill luffy he took it with lot of motivation but when he slipped away he placed Luffy in the to-do list rather chase after him on a ship.

one thing i dont get is if the government wanted to kill off the roger pirates or anyone assosiated with roger. why is rayleight still running around, why is buggy a possible shichbukai, why is crocus baby sitting a whale, and shanks is a fucking yonko. half his crew is still alive yet they get rid of a guy who built his boat and a son who was not born yet. anyways when is this new vhater grrrr

one thing i don't get is if the government wanted to kill off the roger pirates or anyone associated with roger. why is Rayleigh still running around freely right under the world governments nose, why is buggy a possible shichibukai, why is crocus baby sitting a whale in the entrance of the grandline, and shanks is a fucking yonko. half his crew is still alive yet they get rid of a guy who built his ship and try to kill a son who was not even born yet. anyways when is this new chapter grrrr

They went after whoever they could find, but that was why Roger waited the year to turn himself in after disbanding his crew. Shanks is obviously strong enough now that he has no reason to be scared of his past catching up to him. Buggy stayed under the radar for 20 years before he even made his way back into the grand line, which he only did because he was chasing Luffy. Rayleigh is an old man that can still stand toe to toe with an admiral, and seeing as he doesn't really do much besides hanging out on SA, the WG has more trying matters then attempting to go after him. As for Crocus, I doubt that he even drew attention to himself seeing as he was only the doctor and most likely did very little when it came to law breaking.

Law has been said to be a very sadistic person by the likes of Apoo and even for someone like Kidd to say the rumours he heard about law not being pleasent says it all.

And nothing any less gory than Whitebeard losing half his face, having a hole in his chest or Little Oars Jr having his leg cut off....

[Juvar]

[iusehaki]
