His crew was lame, he was weak and only showed a glimpse of soul when he whined about getting his ass kicked in the new world for one single panel.

He was a mistake desu. Should have been used later in the story or actually showed in an unrelated chapter vs Kaido to hype the yonkou.

>>143463841

Moriah is great. Bitter and angry because his crew got wiped, and now exacts his revenge on passing pirates.

Storywise, Moriah is a neat and efficient way to set up the timeskip by showing how underpowered the Strawhats are before they get wiped at Sabaody.

How so? He wasn't particularly strong and got dangerous only thanks to his complicated plan which involved stealing luffy's soul and digging out an old giant. And even there he almost lost against the strawhats without Luffy.

Are Moriafags the new forced meme? They seem to be spreading their bullshit quite frequently now.

>>143464031

He suffered from the usual one piece flanderization long before that.

Oda spent Years playing him up to be so much more than he ultimately was. Not smart, not cautious or clever. Didn't have the completely loyalty of those around him as Bellamy suggested he did as even some of his family left him by the end. The only thing we had seen of him in the yers leading up to the arc featuring him is that his hairline was receding. I can't think of a bigger disappointment so far as villains go.

His actually family themselves were more forgettable than most of Oda's secondary antagonists. One of them even had a shitty-copy paste of previous DF powers, one opf them betrayed him and joined the resistance, This is to say nothing of the fact that Doflamingo had no qualms about using the birdcage when he didn't know where all of them were. The rest of them were borderline pants-shittingly stupid. Hey let's put Ace's fruit in the arena where anyone can rach it! Hey I can trust brook, he likes art! Ussopp didn't even beat sugar, she beat herself. It made them both look incompetent as fuck and was basically a shittier version of Perona VS Ussopp.

Such a fucking garbage arc that wasted one of the few villians Oda actuually tried to hype up. I can only hope he does better with Blackbeard, because if the best he could do with Doffy was throw out all previous ideas of his personality and slap on a Freudian excuse for his mustache twirling levels of evil then I do not have high hopes for the future.

He literally calls out Luffy and Co for being too weak to survive in NW. I don't know how much clearer we can get.

Aside from that, it takes entire crew co-operation (which fails anyway) leaving Luffy himself to finish the job.

If you're willing to include Oars in Moriah's powers (which I do, as it takes Moriah implanting Luffy's shadow to reanimate him in the first place) you get a monster so tough Luffy needs a powerup (nightmare luffy) to take him down.

All of this is clearly demonstrating that SH crew is out-power tiered by the NW.

Moria's rivalry with Kaido is something that was brought to the table.

I'm willing to bet Oars "the continent puller" has some part to play in the lore as well. Especially since his race of giants share the same type of horns as Kaido. What with Moria's petty reliance on the past, it wouldn't surprise me for him to seek out something similar to the man that ruined his life. Considering that Moria like Kaido is also concerned with building a super strong army (zombies), and the fact that he seeked out Luffy during Marineford for his shadow again. Moria is a spiteful man. I'm definitely betting there's a connection here.

he genuinely compliments Luffy's crew during the speech, then tells them that death awaits them if they continue in their current condition.

Moriah hates Luffy for his naivety because he is like a younger Moriah. A younger Moriah who was so distraught a losing his crew that he wanted to create an army of immortal zombies who would never die and leave him alone.

I'm willing to be Elbaf will tie into the Kaido arc in some way, especially since Usopp and Robin have history with giants. In addition to having Hajrudin's crew under their ranks now. ALSO in addition to the fact that Kaido was using the underground and now Buggy's the king of it- of which Hajrudin used to serve under.

>>143465777
Speaking of Haki there are times in Dressrosa where Oda forgets that LUFFY has Color of Observation meaning he can predict your attacks before they happen yet somehow Luffy is getting wrecked by Doflamingo and Chinjao when really he should have been easily dodging their blows he knows when they happen.

>>143465736
>>143465777
>Hurr durr haki bad muh power levels
Did you skip the entire preceding fight that built up to this moment? Did you forget the Alabasta fight where the battle revolved solely around whether Zoro's blades were stronger than Mr. 1's steel?

>>143465878
Haki was a mistake

Even CoC haki. Giving it to non charismatic fodder like chinjao trivialized it.

>>143465878
That's the thing. The existence of Observation Haki means that either we're forced to assume that top class fighters like Doflamingo either have no skill in it, or are just mentally retarded, otherwise the plot makes no sense.

>luffy and friends watching DD in the throne room from like 20 feet away
>doesn't notice luffy's powerful aura at all

Same with shit like Luffy being surprised by fodder like Jean Ango grabbing his helmet.

>>143465878
Color of Observation is naturally built into fights. You can assume that any skilled Haki user is constantly using it. Luffy and Doffy were both fighting with Observation on, it's not that he wasn't predicting the attacks, it's that he simply didn't have the power to dodge them.

>>143465936

Did you?

Or did you just forget the part where Zoro vs Mr 1 was about technique, rather than raw power, with Zoro discovering what his master had been trying to teach him about the cutting of different substances?

>>143465937
CoC is just mindfucking people.
>>143465938
Sanji and Zoro also havd CoO yet cant predict attacks nor sense their enemies while they are out of sight even though the earlier usage of CoO Eneru's mantra had him sensing people out of sight.
>>143465992
Yes but anon you have impossible shit like Rayleigh actually reacting to Kizaru's lightspeed attacks via his CoO.

>>143465992
Luffy dodged Mihawk's attack thanks to COO so your argument is invalid.

>>143465993
Yeah and that technique translated into greater power. And this fight was Zoro mastering Mihawk's lesson of cutting things with Haki.

SEE YOU AT THE TEA PARTY MUGIWARA

>>143465579
he real question is why name isn't still wering rmor, such a scrub.

>>143466060
How so? That was an instance where Luffy could dodge and so he did, not one where he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't.

>>143466055
Mantra seems like a much more mastered level of CoO. Just because Sanji and Zoro have the capacity to do it, doesn't mean they're perfect yet.

Again, Rayleigh reacting to lightspeed is just because Rayleigh is strong enough to with the aid of prediction. Luffy getting his shit kicked in happens because he physically cannot dodge. It's like when he fights Eneru and we get the whole sequence of Eneru seeing the attack coming but being helpless anyway.

>>143466189
>That was an instance where Luffy could dodge and so he did
Plenty of instances where Luffy and Dofflamingo were taken by surprise by a new attack even tho CoO tells you about what your opponents intends to do and the likely result.

>>143466104
But that's not the way it was portrayed(at least to me), it felt more like some sort of DBZ style MY POWER LEVEL IS GREATER THAN YOURS, rather than "Now I know how to get past your defense" like the Mr 1 fight.

Since the goal of the Mihawk training was to make it so his swords wouldn't break again, I think it would have been more fitting if he had instead displayed his Haki in a different way.

>>143466189
But anon in Fishman Island Zoro and Sanji were sensing people.

>>143466055
Wasn't there some mention that Enel's prediction was better than a normal user's because he combined it with electromagnetic waves with his DF, or am I retarded?

CoC is supposed to be some metaphysical force that makes you drop unconsious yet the DBZ shit that happened between Luffy and Chinjao seemed retarded.

Haki isnt implied to be energy its even weirder than Nen in HxH yet somehow you have this bullshit.

I actually ended up liking the Moriah the most of all the villains Luffy fought against. I liked that he had been broken in the New World and was caught between wanting revenge for his friend's deaths and just not giving a shit about anything anymore.

While Moriah was not the strongest enemy Luffy faced, or necessarily the coolest, he was probably the most "human" of the villains that Luffy fought, not being driven by base greed or ideals, but instead seeking revenge while suffering from depression.

>>143465657
No need for that. If he wasn't mantaining the birdcage against so many strong characters he could have slaughtered Luffy. But Oda had to make Doffy stupid so Luffy could somehow win.

>>143464960
Avalo is a former Calamity and will betray Blackbeard.

>>143466354
Something like that, yes.
But it wasn't stated to be used for prediction. Combining it with his DF allowed him to hear conversations and such, thus allowing him to pass judgement on anyone that would defy the god.

>>143466419

Naw actually him losing I feel push the straw hats even more of wanting to go to the NW. Here we have a warlord crying about how dangerous the NW is and he will defeat them and yet he loses to them just like every enemy before him. Showing that together they can over come any enemy. It Was really Saboady and MF that set up for the new world and really let the strawhats know they needed to train. Honestly outside brook being introduced and lola giving them BM vivre card, TB wasn't really needed

>>143466945
>10 minutes

Some basic math here guys

Enies Lobby G2 Luffy was Hypersonic meaning his speed was Mach 3 and higher

At Mach 3 you can move 995 meters in a second or 3250 feet per second.

A Mach 3 person can hit someone who is only 5 meters away from them 199 times in a second meaning even if Luffy hit Rob Lucci under a 100 times then it means a second hasnt even fucking passed yet thats how fucking fast they are moving.

Now post skip Luffy is high hypersonic so Mach 15 meaning he could hit you 1000s of times in under a second so this 10 minutes being an issue is Oda being a moron not realizing how fast his characters are.

It also means that G2 Luffy can hit someone with Jet Gatling a total of 497 times.

>>143466299
Not that guy but the problem in Arabasta was that Zoro couldn't cut Daz. His skin was basically steel. He was pretty much a Steel man. So by cutting him, Zoro is blatantly demonstrating that his sword and power is strong enough to cut Daz's skin.

Which is pretty much what happened against Pica. Take away the Haki and literally nothing changes. Pica's body simply couldn't withstand Zoro's swords or power.

>>143466104
The big difference between Zoro vs Pica and Zoro vs Mr. 1 was the amount of effort and tension in the battle.
In his fight against Mr. 1 Zoro was desperately searching for a way to cut steel, he was pretty close to death (to OP standards) .
Zoro vs Pica was more of a pointless drawn-out fight, the was no indication of one person struggling against another, i had the feeling it was just used to buy time/fill up pages up until the very last blow.

>>143467050

Hypersonic speed is fast enough to make you hydroplane meaning run on water, so the top tiers of OP should be running on top of the ocean and going lol fuck your pirate ships faggot. The Flash running on water isnt a meme it is actually possible with enough crazy speed.

Realistically speaking the entire fight between Luffy and Doffy would have lasted in reality 5 seconds because of how fucking fast they move. Oda also seems to forget it should be impossible for Dressrosa citizens to actually see Luffy and Doffy fighting in the first place.

That's what I mean. The idea of a gun actually being a threat in a fight now is a joke, but you have DD and his pistol when he can shoot strings from his finger like a bullet at 10 times the speed but he uses both anyway.

People are terrified of the citizens being caught in the Birdcage when somebody like Zoro could literally pick them up one by one and dump them in the center of the city in a flash if they played speed straight.

>>143464304
Go back to narutoforums autist, this is not your place.

>>143467333
The fucking bird cage has gaps the size of buildings when it starts, also Zoro has enough brute strength to just tunnel under the fucking cage as well. They could have avoided all this nonsense if they just used their super strength to make a tunnel to the coastal area of the island.

Another thing about super speed Oda forgets is that the characters should be capable of jumping very fucking high in fractions of a second meaning Luffy could literally jump from one point of Dressrosa to the other in the blink of an eye.

are you bringing real world logic into one piece?
are you going to start questioning how Zoro cuts multiton objects with air pressure?
Or how Nami and other female characters don't die from having their internal organs crushed by their three-inch thick waists?
Or where the mass for Choppers various transformations comes and goes?
Or how human beings can generate seemingly unlimited ice/fire/darkness/sand
Or how Franky managed to fix himself despite being near death in a junkyard filled with rusty metal and no life support systems?
Or how Sanji can walk on air by kicking hard enough?

Come on anon. Its a boys manga with its own in universe rules where anything is within the realm of possibility. Its literally a place where you can become as strong and as fast as your heart desires (so long as you train) despite your strength and speed not making any sense in the real world. it truly is A WONDERLAND

As a character, yes. He had a ton of build-up and an interesting character and backstory, but too much of his power was invisible, which made his fight with Luffy unsatisfying. Also, his crew turned out to be underwhelming except for Pica.

Are you kidding? Pica was the most underwhelming off all, he was a gigantic pussy who did nothing but play whack-a-mole iwth Zoro for 30 odd chapters before bitching out and attempting to kill some weaklings in his league. Then he got one-shotted by Zoro. Absolute garbage tier, Law cheated Zoro out of his first satisfying New World fight when he dismembered Vergo.

>>143467236
That is assuming you can travel at such speeds.

>>143463493
Birdcage is the only major issue I had with Dessrossa. I mean it'd be okay if Doffy have to recover from its use, like it was a serious excretion but it just seemed to be.

I get the point it, to distract the other players and to add tension but it just made him broke.

I can't think of what they could have do instead. Maybe a Caesar weapon or something or have it .

Or completely change the Pica fight and use his power to be the death trap instead. Have Pica defeat happen shortly before Doffys.

Both Pica and Diamante felt underpowered. I can barely recall the Diamante encounter

>>143468839
Actually the most underwhelming goes to Diamante. He's built up as some strong coliseum hero. Just to go and get beat by a nigga with one leg

>>143469958
And his strongest move was fucking confetti.

>>143465777
It's not that bad. It has to be trained up, just like physical strength. It's no different to that.

>>143469958
The fact that he was beat by an even bigger legend of the coliseum is honestly the smallest problem with the fight

>>143467140
I mean Pica was literally trying to buy time, so it fits his character/strategy, meaning you can't really be mad at Oda for dragging it out. It was also a creative fight nonetheless, involving the strategy of figuring out Pica's power, compared to how Mr. 1's fight was pure brute force.

That's essentially why I disagree with all anti-haki posters, because they cite Zoro vs. Pica as evidence that it's turned One Piece into a power level thing when really it hinged on all that previous strategy.

That being said, I can totally understand how Pica running away made the fight less tense for you. There never really was a question of whether Zoro would win or not. We haven't had a fight where Zoro was significantly challenged/outmatched since Enes Lobby, which is too bad, I really want to see him giving his all. We've seen Luffy full power now with Gear 4, I want to see top strength Zoro.

>>143470454
Well when the legend hasn't fought or trained in a human body for 10+ years and has lost a whole leg. Then it does become the biggest problem. He Could have at least jobbed to someone Cavendish. Something that actually ma he's sense. And I'm talking about Cavendish not hakuba

>>143465586

Law's angst was really bad on dressrosa, didn't feel like one piece.

>>143470842
Anon that's because he ran and chose to attack someone else. If they had a straight up fight he would have been one shotted

>>143467855
This is true but as you said there are some inherent rules to this universe. Luffy is a rubber man, thus he can't shoot lightning bolts. Doffy flying with cloud string is as nonsensical as Doffy being able to turn invisible or use Pica's powers.

>>143471251
I meant he could have lost to someone that actually make sense like Cavendish

>>143468218
Moriah's horns are totally different from Kaido/Oars/Oars III's though.

I'm not dismissing what you mean, Hannyabal's another example of what you mean. But I think the three I mentioned definitely have some sort of connection.

>Doflamingo's executives had trash designs except sugar

Nigga Doffy's crew is easily one of my favorite enemy crew designs. Their powers and duels unfortunately were complete jokes however.

Another thing that bugged me was how Doflamingo required both Law and Luffy to be defeated and Luffy's supposed to gun for yonkous? He'll get trashed by their higher subordinates unless he gets like at least 2 arcs of more development. Though I'm getting a feeling from this arc that Big Mom is going nowhere, she's rather just going to make Strawhats her bitches or complicate things in some other way.

That whole fight was bullshit. You knew Doflamingo had lost ever since his executive jobbed so hard and it was him against a whole bunch of very good fighters.

Oda just doesn't like tag fights. And he wrote himself in a corner this time so he had to use a cheap device like birdcage to keep everyone ''busy''.

Yeah. Law even commented on that during their journey from PH to Dressrosa, that Doffy's crew won't be their problem. Let decadence and lack of action set in for too long, which is a shame since all 3 card executives could've had great fights for their powers but jobbed like bitches.

I didn't mind the birdcage. Good oh shit moment and set a timer on the clock creating a feel of urgency and real danger. Defeating Doffy however felt too easy and quick - on contrast, it took 3 tries for Luffy to trash Crocodile.

>>143471922
Jack would probably take Zoro, Sanji and Luffy to beat

>>143471622
What about their powers displeased you? Bomb guy had a great, high tension fight, baby guy's fight with Frankie was one of the highlights of the New World thus far, and Pica's was a little drawn out but still made for the most adequate battle Zoro's had yet in the New World.

Flag guy was disappointing I give you that.

>>143471622
Luffy's gonna get curbstomped by Big Mom and it'll be up to his crew to just barely rescue him and get away with Sanji. He'll definitely lose the initial encounter.

agreed
both in terms of character depth and world importance it's a league above any other

Dressrosa as a whole is exceptional
the flashbacks were top notch, so was (partly) his crew, his ability, the setting and the supporting cast (Barto a best)
only flaws were Rebecca (obnoxious as fuck), the dwarves (i didn't dislike the idea but they were developed poorly) and the coliuseum part (introduced nice and important characters but was boring as shit)

Croc is cool, his power is way too inconsistent though. Like, he lost to pre-Gear Luffy. Doffy, meanwhile, was strong enough that post-timeskip Sanji, who I'm assuming is stronger than pre-Gear Luffy, was in danger of losing his life within three seconds of fighting him. Objectively, Croc has been sitting on his ass in a cell not training, so really he should've been fodder in Marineford.

>. Defeating Doffy however felt too easy and quick
It's problem with One Piece fights in general now.

Characters have become too fast now and there's a lot of beat panels missing to show how fights work.

Zoro's the most noticeable since you can't even follow his sword play anymore. Luffy's just too fast without windup in gear 2nd.

>>143474569
I've seen a few

>>143471727
Well of course a lot of things was BS. Like you said Sabo or fuji should have been able to take him out but was fucking around. I mean the amount of time fuji used to try and push birdcage back he could have defeated doffy and ended it all much quicker. But in terms of taking out the executives, Diamante could have at least fought Cavendish and put up a decent fight. Instead he just job to a one legged man

>>143474492
Yeah that's why Diamante would have been a good person to try that attack on (your pic related). She could have tried her instant kill move on him and once she seen it wouldn't effect him she pull that move out. But no, I'm 70% sure that of a doesn't plan to give her a legit fight even at the end

>only lost to plot.
A lot of guys lost to plot, Oda makes his villains too arrogant

>took jozus pussy sneak attack
He was bleeding hard and said Jozu was too fast and too strong

>Speed blitzed sengoku on the stand with the executioners
He didn't do shit to Sengoku, just took out some fodder who get knocked out by Luffy's haki. Sengoku was happy to sit still on the platform for the most part, even when Marco was flying to the platform it was Garp who took him out. Luffy was able to reach Ace and set up Gear 3, so maybe Sengoku's speed is Blackbeard-tier and blitzing a megaton Golden Buddha means shit.

>Stalemated Doffy while barely giving a fuck
If anything was Doflamingo playing around, Crocodile attacked him with the hook pissed off after he easily lost his head while Doflamigo casually stopped him using one foot with both hands inside of his pockets. Now that we know what Doflamingo is truly capable of, he was definitely not even trying at Marineford and left the war without a scratch.

>Stalemated Mihawk
Crocodile attacked Mihawk (the speedlines in the manga are on Crocodile's hook, Mihawk stood still defending) while he was chasing Luffy, Mihawk simply parried his hook. All this says is that "pussy sneak attacks" don't work on Mihawk.

>Cut a fucking admiral, possibly the final villain, in half
Robin broke Aokiji's back and split him into two. Logia users let their bodies get divided in pieces for no reason all the time, means nothing, Akainu was not hurt in any way.

>>143474528
Oda also said that the torture didn't faze Crocodile, Jinbe and Ace at all, iirc. Level 6 Prisoners seems to have it easy compared to everyone else.

So I've got a question about the "awakened" devil fruits...

Does every awakened devil fruit only turn things into the property of the base devil fruit? Like how Doflamingo's awakening was turning other things into string???

Or was that just Doflamingo's OWN personal awakening ability? Because it seems like this whole awakening thing is One Piece's own version of Bankai/Super Saiyan/Muso Tensei.

>>143476483
>Boundman

Kill yourself faggot. That is literally like calling Luffy "Rufi"

>>143475169
Kinda makes me worried if all Awakenings do is turn everything into your element. That would mean every Awakened user would fight the way Doffy did, throwing the environment at you, which make every Awakened fight literally the same.

Also, can you imagine Luffy's? Everything just turns to rubber?

Based on these problems, I imagine each character's Awakening will be slightly different, although Doffy did recognize that Luffy's hadn't awakened yet, despite the Gear 4 shit, so maybe yeah they do have distinctive properties.

It's not like Oda is super old and it's not like SJ wants to end their cash cow in a hurry. He doesn't even do straight up 1v1 fights anymore for each crew.

Yes, the war sequence I agree, but Dressrosa really should not have had better set up for fights.

Considering the number and magnitude of countries saved by strawhats none have managed to pull off the feel of Alabasta or Skypia.

He has the bane bane no mi with a reason

>>143476605
Does it though? It targets and tears apart the vitals, but a Logia user can transform their vitals into their respective element and regenerate that way. Although if it's got Haki in it maybe it prevents this.

If that's the case, it sure was convenient Doffy happened to be the only character in all of One Piece who could tie his organs back together as they're being relentlessly ripped apart.

>>143476713
It also means Law is the most OP character since he can now screw over regeneration which was the only thing that made logias broken in the first place, if you cant outspeed Law you are fucked in a fight against him since he controls space.

>>143463493

>>143476683
In Dressrosa he crammed a bunch of final fights into one chapter each, so he could showcase all the new fighters, so yeah, he was pretty pressed on time. That being said, I thought that the Doffy/Luffy fight had panels like that, showing wind-up action, although I could be wrong, Oda has generally gotten more efficient with his art since Water-7 in that he draws the attacks and their aftermath as they happen and rarely the build-up.

I think Alabasta had such a monumental feeling because a.) it felt big and the Straw Hat characters experienced so much of it, and b.) Vivi was a strong character.

Skypia had an entire separate arc (Jaya) just to build up the thematic significance of it. Really I think it's just that he got to develop more time into each of these arcs, Dressrosa's hype only came from teasing us with Doffy the whole series.

Sure Oda isn't old, but at the rate the series is going, even with this fast pacing it's going to be decades before it's over.

Why did Doffy use bird cage again? What was the point in genociding his own country?

>>143463493
I hope Kaido does something to Luffy that pisses him off. It's badass when Luffy is super pissed when he fights.

Seeing as how Big Mam's powers seem to revolve around age and time, what if her fighting abilities revolve around making herself younger when fighting opponents. Like, 20 years ago was when she was at her fastest, 30 years ago was when she was her physically strongest and 40 years ago was when she was her most carnivorous

I kind of have a feeling that a long time ago the OP world was a bit more like ours; normal with real world physics and so on. And then something happened, someone built a machine that caused the world to go haywire. Something literally broke the physical laws of their world, which is why you have guys like Zoro slinging houses around whilst looking like weekend gym warriors.

>>143466454
I have theorised this too, but not about betraying Blackbeard.
We know that Kaido's calamities and higher ranks follow card values. A recent leak of Oda's desk showed paper with the writing "Kaido King Queen Jack". Avalo Pizarro was known as the "Corrupt King". Perhaps he wasn't an actual king, but was the "king" value of Kaido's crew. Since his jailing, I believe that Kaido replaced him as a calamity with X Drake (10 value). Instead of replacing someone with the King value, he just made it Queen, Jack, 10 with Drake completing it.
We know Avalo is extremely powerful as he was one of the last surviving people to win and be freed by Blackbeard. He also wears the same false-horns as Jack does, and has a similar appearance to Kaido with the long hair, the long thin moustache, the beard, etc. Him being Kaido's highest subordinate would guarantee him going to level 6 of Impel Down. Since we know Kaido got captured by the Marines a few times, Avalo may have also but was unable to escape.

>>143480838
>they have horns they must be related
Anon, it's pretty much confirmed jack is half fishmen and human

>>143480838
I'm curious, where was he called "Corrupt King"?

>>143480989
The horns were just a minor correlation of the whole. Jack being part fishman doesn't seem to have to do with the horns though, since they seem like they've been artificially implanted. The only reason Dellinger had horns was because he was part Fighting Fish fishman; while Jack is almost definitely from a different species of fishman.

So I think I've got a more complete theory as to what made Monet survive her impromptu arterial examination by Caesar, and why Monet did what she did in Punk Hazard.

To be fair, he manhandled Luffy before G4. He survived Law's strongest attack which was meant to be an instant kill. He went on to get blitzed by G4 and still remain able to fight for a good while.

>>143482981
Don't remember this, did he just say "haha no, don't need one"? That wouldn't make sense for one to join as they'd have no backstory or mention beforehand like all other crew members

Doffy eh? He has kingsblood he is a contender to pirate king. Though it is Oda it is possible he joins Ceder in the crew. Fuck the meme's it would so one piece if Doffy conformed.

Wow calm down. just him mastering gear fourth will make him stronger then we add in awaking which we don't know what his will do. He could be admiral tier then

So, the biggest question is as to Monet giving the note to Chopper (which I've already explained countless times as to why it's what happened) is what provoked her. What gave her the inspiration to just give the formula for an antidote to the doctor of the crew? Well, now, I think it's Law.

See, if you remember, the big reason the Strawhats agreed to Law's plan of 'hey let's go kill Kaidou' was that they'd do it IF he'd help cure the children in Punk Hazard. So while Luffy and co. were off doing their thing, Chopper and Law went to go get the formula for curing the children. In chapter 669, he mentions that he can't do it himself, (which we later learn is because Doflamingo won't attack him unless he actively assaults him), and they head in. Chapter 671 is where Law comes to take Monet away from the library so he can 'use her powers'. Law leaves, at the end of the chapter Vergo appears and uh oh now Dofla knows.

So since there was a decided part of the little detour we didn't see, and Monet and Law were still walking together, there's a good question to ask: why doesn't Law just knock her out and Room her out into gas, or Room her into the walls, or some other power play? To remain inconspicuous, perhaps, or maybe to have time enough to talk.

My theory is, Law knew that Monet was sent by Doflamingo in some fashion, which is why he's not as taken aback by her betrayal. And he's seen, despite her cool exterior, (no pun intended) that she's thrown herself into her work with astronomy and eclipses (for whatever that's for) as a distraction. As much as she loves Doflamingo, experimenting and killing children is a step too far. But she can't actively protest against Caesar, and she can't defy her master's command. So, Law has a plan.

>>143484036

We do not know Luffy's awakening until the end.

He doesn't tell her everything, but he does tell her that Luffy and he are working on a plan to stop Caesar's experiments, and save the children. For it, he'll need the proper formula, as he knows Chopper won't find the right one in time. He offers Monet plausible deniability, as long as she can help. She gets them the formula, and works enough to get the Strawhats to rescue the kids. He knows (or he thinks he knows) that failure is an option for the Donquixote Pirates. Betrayal isn't, but failure? Not so big a deal. Except Monet knows the weight of her decision. Caesar and SAD's destruction would mean her life is forfeit, probably Sugar's too. She knows that Law is talking about defying her master and isn't saying everything, and she should just kill him, but he hasn't got his heart, and as far as she knows, he's got hers. So she mulls it over, but then... VERGO.

So it seems like the plan is kaput, or at least on the side of rescuing the children. Regardless, he fulfilled his duty, he just has to hope Chopper got the formula. So now Monet knows what's going on to some extent. BUT, she's spent time to think about it, and upon seeing Chopper, makes her fateful decision. She takes that quill she's been hauling about, takes the formula she'd had taken out, writes a note and quickly tosses it to him while no one is looking. As Chopper runs away in Chapter 679, she solemnly watches him, reflecting on her actions, and decides to herself that her next steps have to be chosen carefully.

>>143484093
I know it's not a gear retard. I'm saying when Moriah comes back for Kaido, Luffy will be put into Nightmare Mode again to boost him. He will also use G4 alongside this.

First things first, Caesar needs protection, so Chapter 681's intervention happens. She realizes from Dofla what Law's bigger plan is, but instead of killing Luffy in a million different options to go get after Law, she just stalls him, lets Caesar escape, just blocks him with igloos and stuns. Only when he collapses into the trash below does she finally fly away. And what does she do? Go look for Law? Secure SAD? No, she does what was part of the deal, she goes for the Children, which Dofla has expressed no interest in. And in there too, all she does with the Strawhats is stall. It's a lot scarier, and she does stab Robin, but Monet's a smart enough girl to know a shoulder wound's like she made's only going to make Robin unable to bring out the big weapons.

Why does she go full demon on the Marines? Well, they're not part of the deal. Remember, she could have done all she did with the Marines like she did with the Strawhats, but chose not to. She chose igloo walls, and snow distractions. It's only when Zoro arrives that she finally starts going into panic mode, and gets her ass handed to her. That split in two in Chapter 687, though, I would say there's some symbolism to find here. As she's split, the right side of her face is full of rage, but her left is full of fear. And what side is leading when finally gets up the nerve to attack Zoro while his back is turned? Her right. I'd say this is symbolic of the two minds she has on the matter, and it was the moment she seriously started regretting her decision, and began to wonder if she should go back to killing them. Tashigi's attack however made that clearly the wrong choice.

That isn't his technique. Luffy should beat Kaido with his power, fuck getting random power ups. I want him to use his gears to take him down and then surpass the Admirals.
