Chapter 457 Discussion

[regina777]

456 is out. i have uploaded download links- get it in the download section.

Now on to 457.

Let the predictions begin.

[ACPRO]

the prediction about zoros new sword from ryuuma is canceled... considering i now think that brooke will face ryuuma... guess that means hell join as well... shiat hell yeaaaaa.... plus he gave us a past history....

[ACcentuous]

900 is huge!!!!!not at all what i expected. brooke vs Ryuuma.. cant wait :D

and kaidou??? one of the four kings? or just a famous pirate

[regina777]

Ryuuma looks soo awesome. Wow!!! The guy looks soo badass.

Look at his hair?

I wonder how evil he was 500 years ago. Conquering nations and all.

But i still predict Zoro gets Ryuuma's sword.

[DonEmu]

Yeah, i bet Zoro gets his sword.

But what the hell is with No.900...It was huge, For a second i thought i was reading a different manga. Looked like something out of beserk...

[knivez 83]

i just wonder if brooke's techniques and fighting ability will be either expected or have double the impact from Ryuuma. If that "oz" guy gets luffy shadow he's gonna be a problem. i mean, that dude is huge. but one piece does have giants and stuff, so it's not out of the ordinary.

Looking at my bavorite character so far in this arc on the bad side- OZ - the guy may be more than a problem. Just look at the history Moria belted out about him. 500 years ago he amassed and ruled nations. For somebody with such power and body i dont think Luffy's shadow will be enough to restore his strength back to when he was alive.

So, although he is going to be a problem i agree- i still think the mugiwara's have a huge chance. I shudder to think of how strong this guy was when he was alive. i am glad they arent facing him in that form.

[DonEmu]

I am just wondering where the hell Zoro went, cause i have a feeling he is just lost not nabbed. If you think about it, with Sanji and Luffy already down. If Zoro also went then their odds are really really bad...

[ACPRO]

wow this bit of information is making me struggle on whos gunna vs who....

#900 could be defeated by luffy but who da hell would defeat moria.... zoro? sheesh its hard to make a decent prediction... were something wont counter it...

[regina777]

well, it looks like we can eliminate moria. He is strong at least he is a shichibukai. and although he lost we know that he survived a fight with a very powerful individual by the name of kaidou in the New World.

Yet i am a little suspicious of his motto-- he likes people to do stuff for him-- no wonder he is trying to get a strong army like one involving OZ. So just like Spanda but stronger of course it may be Luffy who fights OZ with Moria putting all his hopes on him.

hmmm i will be disappointed if Moria doesnt get some kind of match up and fight. At the moment 900 looks like the biggest threat but as one of the Shichibukai (and with such a high bounty) i gotta hope that Moria has some noteable fighting skills

[regina777]

Me too- but who the heck is going to OZ?

The guy to me seems to be the most physically strong and visually intimidating character i have ever seen in all of One Piece. It almost looks like he is more of a real demon than anything.

Look at his hair- the long thick strands of locks, each one probably heavier and thicker than Luffy's head.
And he is even got Horns.

It looks like the darkness surrounding Thriller Bark has been put into more perspective with OZ. and he is got Luffy's shadow. With such an intimidatiang and frightening character i see either a battle royal against him or Luffy alone fighting him. And moria doesnt have to do squat. If OZ fights and Moria fights and the general zombies + the three mysterious beings too fight-- it will just look too ridiculous.

Thats why i think at least Moria will sit this out.

[quote=bulten;402008]Translation by Kuroneko at AP.


Moria puts Luffy's shadow on Oz
Moria: Kishishishishi!! Revive!! Ancient demon human Oz!!!
gogogogo
Nami: Huh?!... What's happening?
Chopper: It's moving!
(omission)
Hogback: Everyone!!!
Usopp: You put us away! We are found! Run!!!
Nami: Ahhhh!!!!
Chopper: Nami!!!
Absalom: you... did you see? As for this woman, she will be my wife. My dear... you will be re-born.
Usopp: I.. I (I couldn't translate what he says here, it's probably one of his quotes about he saying how heroic he is)
Absalom: What... you, come directly to here.
Chopper: Usopp!!! Zombies!!!
Usopp: Ahhhhh!!!
Usopp: Robin!!! Franky!!!
Franky: What are you doing in a such place like it.
Robin: Is all right?

[oipotty]

thats all? there are 20 pages per chapter in 1p

i think that robin and franky will be the ones to save luufy. moria isn't a shichibukai for nothin u know. of course he has some kinda powerful fightin skills

[ACcentuous]

If that spoiler is true this chapter will seem rather uneventful

[regina777]

If that spoiler is true this chapter will seem rather uneventful

One Piece spoilers are usually longer. and the chapters have the longest dialogue in shonen & in many genres of manga. So that is amazingly short. Which is what exactly what i think it is- a short version of the whole chapter.

How the heck did Franky and Robin Know where to go and save the fearful trio?

[ACPRO]

possibilty brooke told them before leaving the mainframe of the mansion... after all hes the only one that has been in the mansion and knows the place... or that spoiler could be false...

more importantly what made franky cry? what did brooke say?

Even Robin agreed that Whatever Brooke told them was too nice == noble.

This is more reason- more fodder for the fire-- Brooke joins the crew- yay!!!!

And the possibility that Brooke told them The Frightened Trio's location is very high. But how the heck did he know? Zombie allies?

Luffy in Oz

Brook: I will make you return, what is rightfully mine!
Ryuuma: Yohohoho... But I've already shown you, that you dear cannot win against me
I have moved much in your shadow dear, however the difference in strength between our bodies is too much
Brook: It was in that body during its lifetime that was legend, however that is a very old tale
Ryuuma: My sword techniques even if they have warped through many years, have not rusted
Even though my body is rotting! Zombie Joke!! Yohohoho
Brook: Silence!
Brooks coming swinging his sword, Ryuuma clashes with his sword
Brook swings in rapid succession but is continually blocked by Ryuuma
Ryuuma: yohoho
Brook: damn..!
Brooks backs away
Brooks & Ryuuma: Hanautasanchou (Humming Summit!)
Brooks & Ryuuma: Yoruhan (Night warning) slash!
The swords clashing swords shine
Ryuuma: yohoho... A sword technique that warns the night with light, that is something you don't lose even if you lost your shadow, It is a miserable thing
Brook: That is why i'll defeat you... take my shadow... and take back my freedom! That is why five years ago... As a orphan (referring to himself without a shadow) thinking of death, I was able to endure standing alone!
Ryuuma: however that is nothing but a fleeing dream
He starts walking towards brooks
Brooks: !?
Ryuuma: "Hanauta Summit Blossom Bustle"..."Fallen Leaves" He quickly returns his sword to his sheath
Brook: !!
Having been cut Brooks collapses
Brook: u...uh....
Ryuuma: I won't kill you, because if you die my soul will extinguished
You will live always fearing the light, be nothing but a man dreaming of "Just not dying", for my sake
Brook: Gu...! Wait, its not the end!
Brooks standing on one knee
Brooks: I have to win here... If i don't regain my freedom, I won't be able fulfill my "promise"
I....! I am no allowed to lose here!
Ryuuma: Even if our skill in the sword is the same, our bodies are different, My body has left its name in history from the remaining time of legends (editor's note:urk sorry about this i'm a bit of an amateur). You despite having gone past luxury and people, and having superfine skill, you still have little fame skeleton warrior.
In addition... This sword
This fascinating sword blade bleeds nocturnal luminescence.. Bewitching blade "Shodai Oni Ken" (first generation demon blade). The Best first-rate sword to link the ultimate style (not sure).
Brook: ....
Ryuuma: Such a mysterious blade with my zombie form hand seem like a perfect fit... Yohohoho
Brook: It would be best for you to stop laughing with a wide open mouth...! A zombie's weakness is.."
Brook throws his salt
Ryuuma: Meditation!
He swings his sword, using the wind he blows away the salt
Brook: !
Ryuuma: It seems as though I have to stain a bit more fear in to your skin and bones
Don!
Moria: Kishishishishi!! Finally the day has come! The moment of formation of my fighting force is here!
Ussop: He has to be kidding right? What is that gigantic thing over there! Its even larger than a giant!
Nami: shadow...zombie... I'm beginning to see the trick to this island's wondrous creatures
Ussop: ! What do you mean!?
Nami: This island's zombies are definately dead bodies, strengthened and remodeled by Hogback
Chopper: But dead bodies are dead bodies. Even if you remove all their bad parts and do whatever is possible to strengthen them, they still won't come back to life!
Nami: thats where the bug guy's special power comes in, perhaps its from a devil's fruit! A power to take shadows!
By bestowing dead bodies the shadows he took he is giving them new life!
Ussop: I get it! Like the time with Brooks guy or that sanji like penguin were all created in that way and became offshoots of them.
Nami: So now is the moment where luffy's shadow enters that giant
Ussop: Ahh! you're right! This is bad!
Chopper: Luffy's strong all by himself, but if his shadow enters that thing its gonna be a disaster!!
Nami: Ussop! Do something!
Ussop: What can i do! All these bad guys are here in full force!
Perona: Hey Bearsy! You just said something didn't you
Nami and co are covering their mouths
Bearsy: ....!
He wildly waves his hands
Absalom: as same as always you are always so strict with Bearsy
Moria: Quiet!
Hogback: Just stop talking and watch! The legendary demon man will resurrect, and will create another new legend.
Hogback: The moment of the demon man's rebirth.... I'll be protecting cindry chan! stand and think of an argument position (o.O Idk please don't ask)
Cindry: ....
Moria: Jeez what frustrating people, well well, I'm going!
Moria: Now Arise ancient demon man! OZ!!!
Moria shoves the shadow in to Oz
Nami & co: !?
Ozo..
Oz suddenly moves, Nami and Co are scared out their wits
Oz: UoHHHHH!

Franky&Robin: !?
Franky: What was that screaming noise!
Robin: Maybe it was the death cry of a demon luffy ran over
Franky: why are all your guesses never ever omens?
But still i don't have good feeling about this.. let's go!

Oz: oooo!!
Moria: kishishishsi!!! You have revived legendary demon man!
Oz:Koooooooo.....
.......
......
...... I will become...!! Pirate king!!
Everyone: What!!?
Gabiin
Moria: Isn't the one going to be pirate king me?
Oz: ... What?
Moria: do you understand? I am your king!
Oz: umm... yeah
Oz starts picking his nose
Oz: Whoa! Its cold!! what is this place!?
Moria: Listen to me!!
Gaboon
Moria: Hey Hogback! Is this guy alright?
Hogback: pro.. probably
Oz: Uwoo!!
Suddenly tripping his foot begins going towards moria
Absalom: Uwa! hey what are you doing!!
Oz: yeah... I suddenly had the feeling that i could fly
Moria: so the ability of fruit in your body in the beginning huh.. When your shadow of your body shifts and moves to another body your abilities aren't transplanted.. But no worries even without those abilities you are strong enough!
O: I'm hungry. food
Hogback: hey!! Wasn't you king saying something important!
What arrogance and insolence! This guy even surpasses Cindry!
Cindry: I have prepared you a meal, salt rice balls
hogback: wa.. wait.. Cindry chan! I told you not to ever give a zombie salt!
And why is it that you offer a non-blood curdling but proper menu now!? Its settled you are definately number 1!
Oz: GooGOO-
Everyone: He's sleeping!?
Perona: What is this guy doing, he won't fit as a subordinate of mine
Absalom: Even he might even be too hard to handle for me
Moria: Fuun, However this zombie definately will not disobey me
Whatever you guys discipline him
Ussop: That egoism, that is definately Luffy
Nami: I kinda want those guys to feel our pain (reffering to luffy's egoism)
.. that guy just said you shouldn't give salt to zombies
Ussop: umm. I have a bit of salt i use to blind enemies, but will this be the zombie's weakness?
Ussop takes out the salt
Bearsy: Umm
Perona: I told you not to speak Bearsy! Stop being so careless Bearsy!!
Perona beats Bearsy with an umbrella
Ussop drops a bit of salt inside bearsy due to thrashing
Bearsy: uoo... oooo!!?
Bearsy's shadow leaves him
Perona: ?
Bearsy collapses
Moria&Co: ?
Nami: what did you do Ussop?
Ussop: I don't know!! I really don't know!
Chopper: Ahhh! we're gonna be found
Brook: zeezee
A thoroughly beat up brooks
Ryuuma: Stop it, You know it best, I am a just pacifist who doesn't seek meaningless fights
You have had to realize the difference in strength of bodies, I am stronger than you
Brooks: You're wrong
Ryuuma:what?
Brook: It is true that you are a strong zombie
The fact that you are undead... A modified dead body
But Zombie's have a weakness
Ryuuma: Yohoho... Yes that is true you have realized salt the sole purification method
That is impressive... however that did not effect me
Brooks: Thats not what i'm talking about! The zombies weakness is... fear!
Ryuuma: !
Brook: It is what you dread the most... Death!
Ryuuma: ....
Brook: It is the reason why you obey your king and the reason why you fight, there is no inferior reason.
By being given a shadow, and even becoming a completely different person your memories during your life do not disappear!
The "fear of the death" that only a person who has died before understands... That is the memories and the pride of one's fame
You cannot forget your faith and beliefs.... By clinging on to "Life" you are only as human as how much you are manipulated by Moria!
Ryuuma:.....
He draws out his sword
Brook: You are afraid of dying once more
Ryuuma: Please do not speak anymore reckless remarks, even with all this surplus strength I might not have to kill you.
Brook: I will not lose, to a life that has submitted to fear!


much more exciting and eventful if true :)

much more exciting and eventful if true :)

as i thought the first one was just a peak into what was going on. Now i am sure Brooke is joining-- i just hope Oda doesnt pull a vivi on this one. And zoro's sword becomes reassured. And although he may not have his shadow-- he still has physical body as compared to Brooke who has only bones.

[ACcentuous]

well looking back at the whole vivi thing i think it was clear from the beginning that she wouldnt be perminent. i was reading the magna then but in the anime igram (i think thats his name) clearl said please take the princess back to her country. And thats what the straw hats did... it just took forever for them to get there lol. And un like vivi and and any other character that fans thought might join (gan fall comes to mind) Brooke has no responsibility to thriller bark. at least none that we know of. So ya i will be verry very surprised if he doesn join the crew as a perminent add on.

As far as Zoro getting Ryuuma sword that would definately be cool considering how prestigous it is but im still not convinced it will happen. besides didnt zoro keep the hilt of his old sword?

Edit: Unfortunately it looks like that spoiler has been confirmed as fake :( but the colorspread has been revealed.

http://i17.tinypic.com/6ezlzl4.jpg

Robins outfit + her holding a sword= drool :)

[regina777]

The raw is back to taking its own free time coming out.

Where are 457? i want to see what happens in the end.

what a nice color spread-- Robin surely adds a different feel to the Mugiwaras. It was soo cool and good that Oda added to the team.

Goo OZ!!!!- Goo rObin-chwan!!! (uso love cook anyone :p)

[oipotty]

*pant*

just caught up...

brook is goin to be the next to join... no doubt
ryuuma is going down.
I want to see the full extent of brook's abilities...

[DonEmu]

Why would you want to know the full extent of his abilities, then there is nothing further to know. I would rather he beat Ryuuma but leave some for later :D

[Davis]

something tells me this is gonna be a looooooong arc.

I know it seems short, but remember how short we thought the water 7 arc was gonna be at first?

[regina777]

The raw just dropped in. Get the links in the Download Section.

Goo mugiwara--- you got to love OZ.

[steve]

wow, that chapter was awesome. I really really enjoyed it... Usopp has grown alot. "What kind of a man am I if I can't protect one woman?" that was awesome, I really dug that... then Franky to the rescue, hell yes...

THeres alot going on right now though in the plot, lots of things for the remaining strawhats to deal with

[ACcentuous]

hmm it seems like oda is using this arc to really develop the "lesser" straw hats though i still dont see them defeating Oz and Moria without Luffy Zoro and Sanji.
I really do wanna see usopp own some ppl though. He hasnt had a major one on one fight since Arlong park!

[knivez 83]

Usopp has said stuff like that before...only to cower in fear moments later.

[regina777]

Usopp has said stuff like that before...only to cower in fear moments later.
That is one thing i like about Usopp-- they cower in fear when just a few moments ago they were yapping about how they are going to fight back. Oda knows how to play that card well within chapters.
hmm it seems like oda is using this arc to really develop the "lesser" straw hats though i still dont see them defeating Oz and Moria without Luffy Zoro and Sanji.
I really do wanna see usopp own some ppl though. He hasnt had a major one on one fight since Arlong park!
That is what i hoped for when Luffy and the other two were caught (at that time there was strong indication they were captured and we didnt know the procedure-- jigoroh the swordsman and Dogpen). I was celebrating that for once Oda was going to use the three frightened ones to rescue the strong-- that would have being soo good for the story.

But it aint happening anymore.
