i don't think he's gonna beat anyone, especially the admirals; he's just gonna go haki nova like he did in amazon lily and everyone will go OMG, he'll use the results to save ace and realize that he has some untapped roger-esque powerz. whitebeard dies; jinbei joins the strawhats (wishful thinking but kinda plausible -- they need a helmsman and he artistically/philosophically complements the cast well); and the marines are ruined for awhile as the world runs amok and the strawhats roll into the new world with a jinbei backstory adventure on fishman island. calling it!

that said, i'm with crushed: kizaru needs to get his ass beat. akainu is just an underdeveloped thug and aokiji is somewhat sympathetic, but kizaru is just a smirking asshole.

I think Jinbei staying with them at least temporarily is very possible.  At one point it would've been impossible to have a shichibukai join because they would be way too strong compared to the rest of the team and outshine Luffy.  But with Luffy about to powerup along with the rest of the crew to hopefully the point they can take out admirals/shichibukai without temp cheats, then having a shichibukai like Jinbei or Hancock join isn't out of the question.

I think Luffy is going to beat down Kizaru though.  He hasn't had one real fight that he has won since Thriller Bark?  I mean he held off a few big guys, but hasn't taken any down.  If this is the last arc of the first half before the new world I think he's gotta win a fight.  Especially since he needs a powerup and the best way to show it off is him beating someone.

The admirals are the next bar power-level wise and like you said Kizaru is ready to get a beat down.  I think they'll get rid of Akainu in this fight as well because yeah he's undeveloped and overpowered to keep as a main threat in the continuing story.  Also agree on Aokiji being sympathetic so he can stick around and find a new hobby.

I think at the end of this the big plot twist for the first half conclusion is that whitebeard dies & the marines are destroyed.  Thus getting rid of the pillars holding the world together and creating an opportunity for the youth pirate age to truly flourish and take the seas for themselves.

not sure how luffy could beat kizaru, though, unless there's haki involved -- one piece doesn't really work on power levels but on devil fruit power match-ups, with haki/swordsman's ki as a sort of parallel power development thang (zoro/rayleigh/mihawk/shanks), and as the occasional trump card so the logia users aren't fuckin' gods (opposing devil fruit powers aside, enel vs. luffy :bow2 :bow2). kizaru's weakness is his glibness and carelessness, though, so i suppose it could be possible? dunno; the strength of this whole series is its clever wedding of shonen predictability with many, many moments of oda-brand unpredictability (that, and that oda is apparently the only person in comics -or- manga who can meticulously plan and execute an overarching plot and character development across an obscene number of issues). i can call the obvious things, but truth is, oda really surprises me in the details.

Pretty much. Every time I expect something to happen one way in One Piece, it happens the complete opposite.

The only way I can imagine Luffy beating Kizaru is with haki, and given how much Oda has been teasing haki since Shabondy, it's high time he learn how to control it.

I guess its due to the amount of rainforests (he his a monkey) and large biodiversity.

Also it could relate to the hellish training garp used to give him by sending him in jungles and learning to survive (eg having a slight idea about the mushrooms in Amazon lily, fighting wild animals and eating them, etc).

OP is the best selling manga in Japan because it's read by EVERYONE.  There are plenty of 40/50 year old businessmen reading OP.  OP is very accepted in Japan as part of popular culture.  I enjoy the fact that everyone loves OP.  It makes me think they have good taste!

It'd be more like the NY Skankees thanking the NYT with a 9 page setup each with a photo of a player and the same thank you note to the newspaper.  Would you think less of the NYT there?

Not feeling this chapter as much.  Luffy sucks, Whitebeard kicks Aokiji's ass but Aokiji isn't dead (yeah I know people can't die, but then how are they going to keep him down).  Not a whole lot of progression from last chapter.  Sengoku still doesn't fight.  Where did Garp get the emperor's chair from?

He hasn't had any real rest since he entered Impel Down almost 24 hours ago, having been fighting guards and monsters, the harshness of each level of Impel Down, suffering from Magellan's poison, and going through Ivankov's healing hormones. He's only been as strong as he's been because of Ivankov's adrenaline booster hormones too. He's fighting against the bulk of the Marine forces, Vice Admirals, Pacifistas, Shichibukai, and Admirals. He's out of his league, his allies aren't his crew, and he keeps running forward by himself into the fray. It's amazing that he managed to get so far before clocking out, frankly.

That said, we may see an instant recovery soon, like during Arabasta when it turned out he collapsed only to wake up from a "nap" for a few minutes. Ivankov's vigor/adrenaline hormones aren't supposed to wear off and cause a crash for a full day, though it's possible Luffy's managed to "use them up" in such a short time frame.


Betting on Jinbei or another ally sacrificing themselves to an Admiral, VA, or Shichibukai in order for Ace to be freed, when Luffy wakes up, busts out an Emperor's Haki-fueled punch, and promptly collapses for a week-long sleep-n'-eat session. Everybody pulls back, total stalemate overall. Ace is saved, which is a point in WB's favor, but Whitebeard's growing weakness in old age has become apparent, weakening his influence and leading to some of his territories coming into question. WB officially "retires," handing down leadership to one of his commanders (probably Marco, I doubt he would give the responsibility to Ace so soon).

here's my bets:

1.5:1 luffy goes haki
3:1   ...and takes out an admiral
3:1   ...and that admiral is kizaru
30:1  ...and that admiral is akainu
80:1  ...and that admiral is aokiji
2:1: whitebeard dies
10:1 jimbei dies
20:1 jimbei joins luffy and the strawhats
500:1 garp dies
10:1 oda wusses out and no-one dies
1.1:1 oars jr lives

Does anyone actually think Sengoku has any special powers? He IS the chief guy in charge of the marines, but at the same time, we haven't gotten any hints about any of his abilities since he was introduced.

Also, does Garp hold the same rank as Aokiji and the other 2 admirals?

i know a lot of people are waiting for dragon to eventually show up, but i'm not really feeling that idea. this is a war between pirates and the marines. dragon's main target is the world government itself (the marines just get in his way), and he's never really been shown to be a "pirate" himself. this isn't his fight.
