I get the feeling Sabo is stronger than Luffy, if only for the fact that as a kid he was mostly on par with Ace who was stronger than Luffy at the time.

Also what if the Devil Fruit at the tournament is one of those fakes that Mingo made and he's just trolling all the participants?

From what I understand the artificial DFs are all Zoan.

Do we know the difference between artificial one and the real deal at this point?
Also being to produce Logia-type devil fruit even if it fake is seriously OP.

I think the fake zoan fruit only make the eater turn partially into that animal based on what we saw on Punk Hazard. They have no way of changing forms, making them less powerful as they don't have the potential of growth, just the innate power of the animal they've been combined with.

Mononosuke's is different and was specially crafted which is why he can switch, but he hasn't been able to control it yet.
 
Logia's took a massive nerf with the introduction of Haki, if anything I'd say Paramecia types have become the best because there bizarre powers can't always just be Haki punched to death

I guess DTL dropped Naruto lol

He must have missed my gift for him on the previous page.

Here you go, a redelivery:

That small look at Lucy's face, I can already see the burn. The next few chapters are going to all be about fights. Luffy and Zoro fighting a castle, the whole colosseum battle, and Usopp and Robin, fighting Sugar and Trevor.

Can't wait for the next few chapters.

The way they showed Sugar in that last panel, eating the last grape on her finger, leads me to believe she probably already knows they're there or something.

I don't see why Usopp doesn't just shoot it into her mouth when she's talking or something, he is the Strawhat's sniper after all.

That's the exact plan I was thinking of. He did shoot salt into zombies mouths before, and even shot a spicy ball into Luffy's mouth. I bet Usopp could have done it, actually I wouldn't be surprised if he does ends up doing that.

Bleach

I am glad this is the final arc because Rukia's powers are kind of beyond broken and don't make sense when you really think about. But I am not going to complain to much. She, and the rest of the ACTUAL main cast got a much needed badass moment and I doubt we will see their powers too much until the final fight. Bleach is actually not so bad for a brainless escapism as of late.

Naruto

Asspull no Jutsu us a go!

One Piece

Things are kicking off nicely. It is astonishing how 'smoothly' things have been going for the Straw Hats. They should do 'planning' more often! Dragon Claw was badass and I agree it would be appropriate if Sabo turned out to be Dragon's second in command. Toys like Cavendish are clearly a set up for a big rumble when Usopp knocks out the girl. Something bad is going to happen in the next few chapters but I look forward to the ensuing 1 v 1 fights in the chapter.

Be nice to check in on the rest of the crew too but I am pretty sure they are out for the rest of the arc.

Mononosuke's fruit might an improvement on the fake fruit to make them more powerful and give more benefit to the eater. It makes me wonder though whether or not for Cesar to know the real fruit first before he can produce the fake. Or are there any devil fruits catalogue that he can access to?

It depend the power of the fruit and how they used it, and by raw power they still being the potentialy most destructive devl fruit power. But in one-on-one fight against Haki user, Paramecia bizzare power proved to be more useful, as logia intangibility is neglected.

And I guess Zoan could be the most powerful fruit for haki user and martial artist. Man, I would love to see Rob Lucci with haki mastery someday.

Well geez. You'd think they would realize you don't really need soil to grow vegetables or raise livestock, if the situation was that bad, but I guess they didn't!

I support Marika, even though she is doomed. She's basically forced to be that over the top due to Awful MC Syndrome. And she is surrounded by cowardice.

Marika still has her super mega ultra secret which will make or break her (terminal illness, futa, etc).

I really like 2 and 4 designs, maybe i should start reading this...
They're the two best girls, so you clearly have keen insight.

He probably has a catalogue at his disposal because he worked with Vegapunk for a long long time on PH until Caeser starting going off the deep end and the fight between Aokiji and Aikainu happened.

I even thought that Caeser was using that fruit specifically to aid in the creation of new fruits because it was made by Vegapunk, but he was never able to prefect what had been done in that fruit and continued testing on pirates.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The problem with Tite Kubo powers is that they take a lot of time to explain but they have no practical effect other than, "these are REALLY strong [ice/fire/thunder/wind] powers."

Illegal Rare will probably do well unless Shiibashi majorly screws up somehow. He somehow pushed Nurarihyon through by catching on to fan interest and playing out on it, so as long as he can do that, even a bad start is nothing.

I wonder why Trebol had chains on his feet. He's definitely not a prisoner since he's an executive, kind of weird.

edit: Also, I don't know if it's been mentioned yet or not, but One Piece is on break next week.

Guess with BB crew having ten captains Luffy crew has 2 more members to go ,1 if you counting Jinbei .

Yup that's the first thing I noticed.

If we assume the Blackbeard crew is being built as a direct counterpart to the Straw Hat one, this finally puts to rest the ages-long debate about whether "10 crew members" includes Luffy or not. Looks like no!

I just did a quick search of the Blackbeard pirates, because I couldn't remember how many people he had under his command, but as of the timeskip he only has 9 people under his command.... that means he has gained another that we haven't seen yet, which is interesting.

edit: Could the tenth one possibly be Aokiji? Could that be what Doflamingo was hinting at on Punk Hazard? Burgess even name dropped Aokiji to Blackbeard saying "he can't be trusted"... maybe they just let him in and they can't trust him for sure yet.
 
It makes sense, with 11 crew members you can have group shots with Luffy and Black Beard in the middle, it's why 9 has worked well for so long. If you notice Oda usually goes from an even to odd number pretty quickly

After EB the crew had 5 people which stays for awhile (vivi as a guest doesn't count), then Chopper joins and the next arc Robin joins. Then we stay with 7 for a bit then Franky joins and the next arc Brook joins. We've now stayed at 9 for awhile and I imagine whenever Jimbei or the 10th joins then the 11th/Jimbei will join shortly afterwards.

Luffy couldn't control his fruit either when he was a kid. Kept punching himself in the head when he tried to do the pistol move.

Doc Q's horse kind of goes with Doc Q though :p

But I just made an edit on the last page

Just something I came up with.

At first, I thought that Sabo was just using a standard Haki attack... but it seems that he is covering Burgess's armor with it? I hope we get to see some more inventive Haki use from non-DF users during this fight because the standard is starting to get boring.

One Piece 737:

There would be no need for Doflamingo to do that since Doflamingo thinks no one can escape the Arena/all the participates will be turned into obedient toy slaves.

Also it is going to be funny when Sabo eats that fruit with Diamante and Burgess thinking he's Luffy/thinking he'd die from eating two Devil Fruits.
 
Bleach 567

Wait...

Rukia's newest power....is to control herself...........while she's dead?

Do I have that right?


One Piece 737

Based Sabo.

So those things Sugar eats are now grapes?

Orignally thought they were chocolate when she first appeared and then blueberries after she appeared in the anime.
