I'm just wondering what type it is. Zoan or Paramecia?

Also, I think we should set a statue for spoilers from here on. I'm thinking:

  • Whenever there's a full chapter on a trusted site (One Manga, Manga Helpers, etc), first poster who sees it posts it immediately
  • NEVER post statements about the chapter in the post that you link to it in
  • Spoiler tag for the first five posts after the link to the chapter (so that we don't see the spoilers before seeing the link itself)
  • No need to spoiler tag after 5 posts

FUCK YEAH SENGOKU DID SOMETHING

EDIT: On the subject of his transformation, the One Piece wiki reckons he's a Daibutsu.

Sounds good, but I recommend also adding spoilers for the first three or five posts on a new page, and perhaps a re-link to the chapter.

Speaking of which: Alright, I expected Sengoku to have a power. Certainly. I did not expect that power to be turning into a giant Buddha statue man what the hell.

I mean, how ludicrously on the nose can you get?

The climactic battle! Luffy vs. Sengoku! Sengoku unleashes the full power of his fruit, spontaneously reaches enlightenment and loses all appetite for worldly conflict/gets whisked away to Nirvana. Oh, how I Flanderize Buddhism.

Chapter was fucking amazing! I've never felt so many emotions during a One Piece chapter...

I'm really wondering how the bounties and power balance will be affected after this arc.

I miss a lot of the characters from the Impel Down Arc, though. Magellan, Sadi-chan, Hannyabal and MR. 2! I could use an excuse to see them all again.

They'll probably get a mini-arc at some point in the future.

@Beta Ray: That's why you have to live in denial, like me! So what if Bon-Chan is now offscreen? So what if Magellan has no reason to not kill him? So what if it's been established that Magellan is leagues above them, and is willing to kill when angered? So what if Mr. 2 basically eulogized himself? He will live, because I want him to.

It's possible Mr. 2 will be rescued by the Blackbeard Pirates.

I don't recall Blackbeard specifically looking for Shiryu, knowing him he probably just went into Impel Down to grab the first strong-enough guy he could find.

That's the thing about Blackbeard - he hasn't let us in on just what his exact plan is. From Teach's actions so far, I think Shiryuu was just as likely intended as unintended.

So whatever happened to Lt. Morgan? He escaped from the marines, but we never know what happens to him.

wild mass guessSeeing as how Blackbeard's crew are evil counterparts to the Strawhats, he gets a few new body parts for weapons and becomes their answer to Franky. wild mass guess

Knowing Oda's love of Chekhov's Gunmans this might be the case.

I was re-reading the series and I have to ask did anyone actually predict Luffy's immunity to Enel's lightning powers?

Er... sort of? I didn't predict it enough to go I Knew It!, but I wasn't surprised either.

And the look on Enel's face was extremely satisfying. Nobody can deny that.

^Same. I didn't predict it but I'm not surprised. Probably because my head is stuck in Pokemon physics and wouldn't have seen an advantage unless it was an earth-based Devil Fruit.

I knew in my mind that rubber doesn't conduct electricity so it didn't come as too much of a surprise but I didn't predict it at all, and I cry everytime I read the Going Merry thing, it is just sad, and no other author (that I know of) can make someone cry over something like that.

Pretty awesome chapter, as usual. Luffy and Ace are back together and kicking ass, while Whitebeard plans to go out in a Heroic Sacrifice to buy enough time for everyone else to escape. What I'm expecting is for Whitebeard to fight to the brink of death, and at the last moment, Luffy comes in to save him and carry him to safety. Whitebeard tells him, "Damn it, boy! I told you all to leave!" Luffy replies, "Fuck you, old man! I'm not a member of your crew and I don't take orders from you!" Or maybe Whitebeard will die. Who knows?

You wouldn't care what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.
