Chapter 673: Vergo and Joker

[Superbear 22]

Moriah lost his chin because it's now hidden behind all the fat. Doflamingo has no excuse, though (except for plastic surgery).

Ope Ope no mi??????

[DemonX]

Doflamingo, One Piece´s own Aizen :D

Come on guys, stop this wank, it´s getting annoying :P

[Chrior]

Looks like it's up to Ms. Princess to break every out of the cage again.

Oh yeah. Finally Nami's time to rescue someone...although it's not actually Nami, just Sanji in her body >.>

I don't know who exactly you mean, but it's gonna be Chopper.

...

CHOPPER.

[King Cannon]

Ope Ope no mi??????

That was my initial point.

[DemonX]

TAKE IT BACK!!!!!!!!

well, you guys made me say it..."OH NOEZ, DOFLA IS BEHIND EVERYTHING!!111"
That´s my response to it :D

...

CHOPPER.

Chopper was there last time as well. So he can help Ms. Princess again and be the decoy.

That´s my response to it :D

The idea of Doflamingo as Joker was completely perfect but considering all the mysteries in the NW, people got mad because Doflamingo was brought up as the missing link to lots of things. Still looking at his role as a puppet master and his sphere of influence makes this revelation only shocking because people were getting annoyed at the idea. I am biased because along with Kid, Shanks, and Blackbeard he's one of my favorite non-SH characters.

Did...did...you just compare Doflamingo to Aizen!?

[Czechmate]

The scary thing is, Oda HAS had this planned since chapter 498, when Law and his jolly roger were first revealed.

Seems like a pretty big assumption to me. They're similar but I dunno if it's enough to say that it was intentional.

[Deviant_Mugen]

Also, I somehow forgot to mention this in my initial post, but Tashigi's quite the sleuth. Her hunch about there being a traitor in G-5 was right on the money. Also, the traitor being the top dog of G-5 is the worst possible outcome, so I can definitely understand why she's so conflicted. I also enjoyed the townspeople asking for Tashigi because she's compassionate and a good listener. It's too bad they have the exact opposite of that "helping" them out...

Hidden:

Go vote for Tashigi in the qualifier if you've yet to do so.

I think you're correct about the intentional thing.

I also just realized Doflamingo is all about 'smilies' and 'jokers' are generally supposed to be funny. D'oh.
Doflamingo is actually behind this.

The scary thing is, Oda HAS had this planned since chapter 498, when Law and his jolly roger were first revealed.

The REAL scary thing is that Oda has, more or less, already finished One Piece (close to 10 MORE years of manga). He knows what will happen, more or less, from today's chapter to the final chapter of the final arc.

[Razzle Dazzle]

At first this whole arc seemed like a rushed way to incorporate cliches (body swapping?!?! REALLY?!! although it is hilarious) with only a few cool things (dragons and the whole fire/ice island). But now that this Doflamingo nonsense has happened I'm really starting to enjoy it. Even better is how Ceasar Clown may have to fight Nami and Usopp. SO PUMPED!!!

I'm just curious what happened to Laws crew. I assume they are the folks in the weird scuba-type suits who blast gas at things.

O YEAH! I forgot i like how Law teamed up with Luffy. That was cool.... but yah.

Oda either planned it all along or he is just really good at combining new story elements with past characters/arcs.

Whatever it is, One Piece is the only Shounen where I feel like I'm following a real story where things actually add up. For comparison, Kishi und Kubo just throw around random shit every second chapter.

See Orochimaru being randomly revived.

Oda is a scary man. More powerful than God Eneru, Blackbeard, and Akainu combined.

There are way too many of those to be Law's crew, and they are just satyrs working for Caesar.

This. My heart was broken by Kubo after the first two Bleach arcs.

Oh please, I think it's obvious now. Doflamingo is behind the One Piece manga. And Sabo is the one who passes his information for Oda to draw it.
