Advice posted:Totally nerding out at the prospect of combining the different poo poo everyone learned about during the timeskip. You'd think stuff like this would have happened right before/after Fishman Island, but I'm glad we get it at all. I always though Franky should have more of a hand in designing everyone's weapons. I'm pretty sure the Sakura Kingdom was always known for its doctors. Thing is, once Wapol took over, Kureha became the only doctor actually willing to treat people, the rest became Wapol's personal physicians.

The Drum Kingdom was known worldwide for its medical techniques, which Wapol dominated by forming his private doctor squad and kicking out everyone else. Now that Wapol is off being a business tycoon, all the doctors are free to practice as they choose and the renamed Sakura Kingdom is famous for its doctors again. Kureha is just the leader of the doctors, not the only doctor. It's not a retcon in the slightest.

Even if the minks didn't know about the Sakura Kingdom, they surely would've asked Chopper where he learned medicine and assumed it was therefore a hub of medical knowledge. Not a big deal in my book.

The only thing better than Luffy railroading his allies and watching them come to accept it was having that get turned around on Luffy when he got his armada. All aboard the crazy train.

Uh, Drum Island has always been famous for its medical science. The whole reason the strawhats stopped there was because Nami was sick and they needed good doctors fast. And it's not just Kureha, Wapol had a big group of doctors following him around to keep him healthy, but they turned on him in the end. This chapter was just a nice callback to that.

I don't know what the best part of that chapter was for certain, but it's probably either Pekoms being a turtle cat man or the dogs being obsessed with Brook because he's a skeleton.

Keep in mind that the Sakura kingdom is two years old by this point, and the old Isshi 20 were supposed to be crazy good doctors. That said, I agree with this: Shoren posted:Even if the minks didn't know about the Sakura Kingdom, they surely would've asked Chopper where he learned medicine and assumed it was therefore a hub of medical knowledge. Not a big deal in my book. Not because of the Sakura Kingdom stuff, but because they praised the pharmacology of the Torino Kingdom. Chopper knew what was what in the medical community to the point that he knew exactly who Dr. Hogback was, when no one else on the crew seemed to recognize the name. But even then he had no idea about the knowledge the Torino people had until he stumbled onto their library. Maybe the Minks are more informed on the subject of South Blue medical sciences... or maybe Chopper just told them a bunch of stuff about what he was doing and where he learned it! I mean, the Minks don't even know how to make Den Den Mushi. They're (understandably) not all that connected to the world. On that subject, I loved that exchange where Robin mentioned there were a bunch of wild snails, and Franky offered to whip some up no problem, much to the astonishment of the Minks and Samurai... because the audience in this case is on the same level as the "primitive" people. We had no idea that was possible either! Gyges posted:Since I think it's still too soon for Reverie We've heard "Reverie is this year!" multiple times already- it was important to Fishman Island especially. Now it's time for us to see all our familiar kings on their way. Cobra and Vivi of Alabasta, Neptune and his kids from Fishman Island, Riku of Dressrossa, Elizabello II of Prodence... probably Dolton representing Sakura, maybe Iceburg representing Water 7 though I don't know if non-monarchies are invited... and those are just the heads of state who owe personal debts to the Strawhats. Reverie is going to own. Those are a lot of people to follow in little inter-arc development bits. Adding another arc for Vivi on top of that seems like a bit much.

I also get a strong feeling that Pekoms will be won over by Luffy and will try to convince Big Mom to ally with him or something over their shared love of food.

So what exactly did Nami loose from her power set? Also where do you think Vivi's heading in the story? At first I thought she was invited to the wedding but that's just weird so it's got to be an unrelated lore dump adventure. Then again the Vinsmoke family could have ties to Alabastor

All I know from Reverie is that Wapol will be there since he is now the king of his own dark kingdom and that he will team up with the SH in some way since Oda likes doing that when previous villains return. So that should be fun.

Sub Harrison posted:Can't remeber exactly but im pretty sure Wapol kicked child Vivi in the previous reverie. Maybe she hits him back this time You are entirely right. I doubt Wapol is going to turn up again, but then having every last character turn up again during the final stretch, ultimately being grateful to the main character for what he did for them, is a very, very shonen thing to do.

Reading the chapter again, something I forgot to mention before was that it was neat how Luffy was scaring Brook's soul out of him when he jumped off Zou with everyone in his arms. Also, I think Vivi is leaving for Reverie. It's not much to go on, but the flavor text at the bottom says "Vivi makes a move?! The world moves?!" She says it's been so long since she has been to sea so that means she doesn't leave Alabasta often, therefore she must be leaving for a very important reason. The flavor text says the world is moving meaning something big is happening. Representatives from kingdoms all over the world will attend Reverie so that to me is the most likely reason.

Guys, it's just the usual 'Oh, big stuff is happening in the rest of the world' content that fills in time between arcs. Like Ace vs Blackbeard, Shanks meeting Whitebeard, and the knowledge that Blackbeard's crew is heading towards the Revolutionary Army with an intent to fight. And no, one of the most infamous pirates in the world is not going to attend a meeting sponsored by the World Government and the Tenryuubito. Not in an official capacity anyway.

Yea, it'll almost certainly take place over several inter-arc periods with this just being the first entry in it, same as Ace took ages to have any climax (Alabasta to Marineford). Your Dunkle Sans posted:Random thought: what's to stop a pirate or Yonkou from raiding Reverie or nuking it? I'm assuming an Admiral or someone else as powerful will be in attendance. I assume the location would be a big deterrent since it takes place on heavily controlled marine land that's presumably fairly far from open sea. It'd be difficult to attack undetected and Marine HQ is really close so they can send reinforcments very easily.

Whitebeard and his allies still attacked Navy HQ and gave no fucks. Maybe Kaidou would want to attack to start the biggest war in history like he wants to? Dunno, just throwing out speculation. Either way, I freaking love the "the world is turning!?" political development segments in One Piece. It's cool going from the micro-myopic view of the Straw Hats crew then shifting to the macro-view of these parts, like with the Elder Stars and Marine HQ meetings. Still waiting on Green Bull to make his debut. I keep imagining a taller, thinner guy or smaller, bulkier guy in contrast to Fujitora. He's probably going to be another Japanese celebrity parody too. Maybe a reference to a famous Japanese boxer or wrestler?

Most pirates aren't crazy enough to declare war on the World Government, or are huge Emperor dudes at a standstill with the government. Of course not even Whitebeard went and attacked Impel Down or (replacement?)Enis Lobby. The Strawhats are mostly getting away with having declared war by being a small and mobile crew in a single ship that's hard to track. The few times they do huge, finger in the eye, things to the World Government they then go off on an uncharted course.

And they spent quite a while hanging out back at the city after Enies Lobby, and the Marinbes did send a force that could have crushed the entire Strawhat crew without trying. Too bad for them (and lucky for Luffy) said force happened to be his grandpa.

Enies Lobby/Water 7 was followed up by getting lost in the Florian Triangle, shanghaied on a roaming island from South Blue, and then being led to Sabaody by a fishman and a mermaid. Taking out the first Warlord and getting a 100 million beli bounty was followed by Skypiea.

As for why they wouldn't, remember that even as Whitebeard was attacking Marine HQ, Kaidou was trying to flank him and only didn't bust the whole thing up because Shanks intervened to stop him. It'd be a nightmare to stage such an attack only to be hit in the back by another Emperor. Honestly, the Emperors basically act as checks on one another
