So once reunited everyone is going to be stronger in some way I presume by the way I look at the cover pages/and how the anime showed it. Thoughts?

And poor Sanji.

He might have learned Okama Kempo or what ever it's called, but that doesn't seem like much of an upgrade since he all ready man handled (oh ho ho!) Mr. 2, may he rest in peace.

Well from what I originally saw it from the cover stories was somehow losing his "Never hurt a girl" issue, but from the Anime they potray the Okamas being way stronger than Sanji. Hence becoming one of them again (hopefully just for now...) and possibly becoming as strong.



Haha, I think Luffy may have forgotton about him already. Best friend material in this pic.

I really hope Sanji doesn't stay an okama.
♣ As much as I hate Sanji for what he is now, maybe him staying okama is not such a bad idea, IMO. Him fighting Kalifa got to me, his weakness is that he doesn't want to attack female opponents, maybe he will change when fighting. ♥

sanji was my favorite strawhat... that title might belong to franky now, depending on what cool powers the crew gets after they meet up. i was a bit disappointed with the sudden okama change. like, after 10 years of lusting after women... wtf?!

I really hope that Ivankov changes him into a girl.

I totally love Sanji as he is, but that would just be hilariously ironic. It's just set up so perfectly. Ignoring what the anime said (which I don't really agree with) Sanji is dressing up that way just to make the transvestites leave him alone. Now, we know that Ivankov is coming to the island, so imagine him landing there and seeing Sanji and thinking (because Sanji is dressed like that) that he is transgendered and that he needs to be "corrected".

It's just set up soooo perfectly, I swear.

If that doesn't happen, I hope he'll still be dressed like that just to see other crewmate's reactions. Once everybody else has seen him like that he can go back to his normal self. I don't see him staying an okama.

I imagine Zoro mastering his "spirit" to a bigger degree now that he's with that ghost girl whose name slips through me everytime... uh.. Perona? (Since he was bragging about it and then it failed against her :p)

usopp is more fit then ever before he is like one of those fat fighters in fighting games like Rufus or i think Bob
the weight makes him stronger.

I agree zoro got more spirit control maybe some haki power

nami: she got better weather powers (no surprise there)

franky: he got upgrades and learned more about tech (no surprise there)

Awesome chapter was awesome.

Did not expect Rayleigh to show up like that, and 100% confirmation of what exactly Kuma said to him is nice. Also interesting that he's there to delay Luffy's trip back to Saobody. The last chapter really made it look like the crew uniting was going to happen really fast, but I guess not.

I was also really shocked that Usopp's story basically confirmed that the Straw Hat "filler" in the anime was canon and actually showed things before the manga itself did.

Don't know what I think about that. Sanji's coverstory was taken a different way in the anime than was logical (IMO) and I'm still holding out hope that the anime took that one their own direction. lol

D'OH!

:(




**** ^guy. Spoiler tag that ****
I'm sorry, it's just so confusing what we're even supposed to spoiler in this forum or not. When I used to watch the anime only I came into this topic and there were never any spoiler tags so I learned to just stay away from the topic. Obviously people are going to be discussing what's going on in the story most recently, of which the anime is around a year behind or more.

And seriously, the top of my post said clearly "Awesome chapter is awesome". It's your own fault.

454?

Beyond that there are two additional Straw Hat cover story episodes, 455 and 456. 457 is just a filler recap, and so will 458. D:

i am not sure what number episode it was it was a while back now but i can tell u that sanji landed on the island was kinda out of it for a while he sees what he thinks is a women in a dress wakes up on her/his lap says a line "whats this i feel" which i de-matured and thought was funny as hell and in the end of his part of the episode he was running from the people on the island

i also saw some of robin with the slaves building the bridge

edit: also i am sure everyone realized this but Rayleigh can swim which means one of the most bad-*** people alive became so bad-*** without a fruit

edit2: bass thanks for the episode numbers

No, wait, I gave you the wrong episode numbers, sorry. I thought you were talking about the recent cover story episodes.

The episode you are talking about was 417.

Scanning, the first word I saw was
Rayleigh
. No biggie though.




Anyway:
The end of the chapter had Chopper looking at the paper saying "Not again!" I'm thinking probably another bounty increase. What do you guys think it's at?

I thought it was "Not again, Luffy is doing something stupid!" but that was just my first reaction. Very well could be a bounty increase. Actually, a lot more likely.

Doesn't seem like a bounty increase dilema to me. It's more of what he did already (we might not know of what yet). Although... it's highly possible, but I want something more epic. : p
