Brook said the name Vinsmoke sent chills down his spine. I don't think the World Nobles are well known to common folk, I wonder if instead, Sanji is just from some notorious kingdom? He's at least important enough that Big Mom wants into the bloodline.

I can't help but feel that if Sanji were a part of the world nobles that we would have gotten some hint at Saobondy. Oda can't resist putting in little hints at things like that, and I feel we would've gotten a panel of Sanji's personal outrage at the behavior of Chalros.

Also I'm not sure if it's a good idea to kidnap and force a world noble to marry. Not sure Big Mom is ballsy enough to have the entire Marine force actively gunning for her.

Maybe not World Noble, but what about a step down from that with national noble? There seemed to be a point of difference with that in the Goa Kingdom (Luffy's hometown).

There does seem to be a difference between the world nobles (tenryuubito) and just regular kings and whatnot. One group lives exclusively in Mariejois and wears space suits, while the others are just rulers of kingdoms. There was a flashback where Wapol and Vivi's dad met at a big council of kings in Mariejois so there is some connection to the world government still, but there is a distinction.

Whereas Whitebeard (well, formerly) seems to be into personal family and allegiances, Blackbeard seems to be about amassing personal power via Devil Fruits, Shanks is all about casual partying and personal freedom, Kaidou is about building up an army and the rules of combat (Strength is the only Law, etc), Big Mom seems to be all about traditional politics and royal family marriages to consolidate power.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Reverie coming soon will be play a role in this, that's a good point you bring up.

On that note, each Yonkou seems to have a defining personal philosophy which they abide by (Whitebeard's ironclad rule of not betraying family being violated by Blackbeard, etc). Luffy's will probably follow in Shanks's footsteps after he (most likely) kicks the bucket of being the man with the most freedom on the seas being the Pirate King, which is what Rayleigh recognizes as a philosophy befitting the man succeeding Roger.

Still, wasn't the Nefrititi (the family Cobra/Vivi are from) among the founding nobles Doffy listed off in addition to the Donquixote family prior to the Void Century? Vinsmoke might be part of that cadre.

I'm on my phone. Somebody dig up what Dofy said about the royal families. I think we have a hanging plot thread there. IIRC, he said all but two of the original families live in Mariejois. One was the Nefetiris, and he casually didn't mention the other one. If I'm right, there's your Vinsmokes.

You could be right about the two families thing, but I should point out that the Nefertitis aren't technically World Nobles. They were one of the twenty founding families of the world government, like Doflamingo's family, but they refused to leave Arabasta so they are just a plain old royal family.

Sanji is being married off to the 35th daughter of the Charolotte family, Big Mom is already some level of royalty. Also Sanji implies that it was someone in/connected to his family who set up the wedding.

Crazyeyes posted:

No, the Doflamingo family hosed off to Mariejois with the rest of the people. Then the Riku family were elevated to the royal family of Dressrosa. Mango's dad realized that all that wold noble stuff was bullshit and gave it up, which is what made spoiled rear end in a top hat Doflamingo into who he is today.

It was also Brook who said it, which means it could have been a noble family who did something infamous back when he was originally active/alive. It does seem like nowadays they mostly stay isolated, but that may have not always been the case with every single family.

Maybe Capone's Devil Fruit powers play on the term "castle" loosely and allow him to transform himself into "castle" or "fortress"-like objects such as with the tank treads in this chapter. What are other castle-like objects you can think of? Maybe Capone can turn into a Boeing B-29 Superfortress plane and carry all his crew inside and drop firebombs on people? :v:

Yeah maybe its powers are just very vague like Law's fruit.

Wasn't Brook a famous high muckety muck in his kingdom before becoming a pirate? Sure it was decades ago but you'd think Sanji would have heard of him if he was from the same country.

Like if a skeleton started talking about how he was Sgt. York.

Yeah that's an interesting concept, I think he was the captain of the guard for some place. He at the very least knows who the Vinsmokes are.

I think I'm really going to love this arc. Sanji used to be my favorite character and so far he's been written as the same dude I hella liked all those years ago. It's really cool that he's back to replace Swirly Nosebleed Guy.

Let me check I think it was when they first showed off his bounty picture? the old one from 50 years ago.


HERE this chapter! Oh yeah thats an important rear end chapter since it shows Ace's card being wrecked, also previously I missed franky being MANLY and SUAVE as he let's lola down easy when she offers to marry him.

He was the convoy leader for a kingdoms battle fleet, in other words he was a captain before becoming a first mate and then a musician?

Brook might be my second favorite StrawHat behind Franky. He's got such a good backstory, his powers are awesome, and skull jokes are great. I'm glad Sanji decided to take him along to meet Capone last chapter, if the other crew members think he's strong that's Oda saying he'll get more fights in the future.

Oh right, Nami still has the Vivre card for Lola's Mom. Maybe that will become relevant in the next few chapters.
