I don't think Oda will bother filling the ranks of the Shichibukai in this half of the story after the current ones fall.

Crazy theory: The five giants leaving Buggy's crew are literal giants. They're joining up with the giants serving under Luffy.

Haha, whoops. I guess I missed that last chapter.

Crazy theory: Buggy is called "Buggy The Clown" as a reference to a harlequin or clown. This is why he has a circus theme.

I think Water 7 was the pinnacle of Oda's art for me. Great line-work and he nailed always having the right amount of detail.

I wonder if Vegapunk is going to be revealed in a coincidental manner where he's just randomly in the same place as the straw hats or if he'll be built up.

Regardless, I want Vegapunk to appear and drop some exposition.

Oda always chooses the worst cliffhangers for his week off.

Like that flashback to ace fighting Blackbeard before he took a four week break. I'm still mad about that.

Based on Shank's actions at Marineford, I'd wager that he uses his position to maintain some sort of balance between the major forces in the world.

Arlong was pretty cool, for me he was the first villain that I thought could legitimately stand up to Luffy.

I have a soft spot for Pearl because he was one of the goofiest characters in the East Blue saga. Wonder if we'll ever see him again...

I can't wait till Luffy goes to Big Mom's place and finds Jimbei tied up in her prison or whatever.

"This happens to you a lot, huh."
"People don't like it when I leave."

Jimbei even got chained up during the Fishman Island arc, guess he has a tendency do get himself in sticky chainy situations.

Okay I know that pun doesn't work but the important thing is that I tried.

He has a tendency to get tied up.

It was probably some grand plan by Oda to set something up down the road. What that plan is, we'll just have to see.

The plan definitely has something to do with the fact that he used up all the provisions on the Thousand Sunny.

Have there been any snakenecks in the series since they were mentioned on the Slave selling list way back on Sabaody?

There was one in this chapter with their back turned to the audience.

I've been thinking of getting those Omnibuses at some point. I bought 1-13 as a kid until I realized they were all online and 400 chapters past the English releases at the time. Would love to read SBS sections again and not have a dog-poo poo translations for Alabasta.

The individual volumes are nicer and if you buy the big boxed releases of them they're about the same in price as the omnibuses.

I'm hoping the final Blackbeard punch is a throwback to chapter 2 when Luffy punched out the seaking, kinda like romance dawn for the new world's cover was for chapter 1.

That was in chapter 1.

yo did anyone notice this chapter felt a lot less busy? like, it felt like oda slowed down his pacing slightly (in a good way), and uses empty space like he used to.

Agreed. It was very easy to follow, as opposed to a lot of Dressrosa.

I've never understood the anime vs manga debate. The manga is the author's original vision, the manga is a product.

My local theater this year so far is showing/has shown One Piece Gold, Sailor Moon R, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sword Art Online, Ghost in the Shell (as part of a year-long cult classic series), and every Ghibli movie leading up to The Red Turtle (again, as part of a program)

I like how the villain from four years ago is still hanging around because we don't know what to do with this fuckin' rear end in a top hat.

I'm surprised that Caesar isn't with them at Bege's. I'd like to see him and Gastino interact.
