I agree, that battle is finally over! Yay for Shanks returning Luffy's/his hat ^_^

Can't wait for next week's update, One Piece chapters always end too quickly D:

Totally love the cover art! Buggy and Shanks are so cute!!

Ahhhhhh, I know Luffy is gonna pull through but I'm still scared at how he is going to act after everything with Ace.

It was nice to see the rest of the Supernovas! Specially Kidd.

Darn, Onemanga hasn't updated yet, I wanna see the new chapter! D:

Hopefully it'll be uploaded soon, I'd love to see more of the Supernovas too <3

lol, Poor bear...XD

The Shichibukai is gonna turn into the Rokuchibukai soon if the shadow-guy gets killed...and Gochibukai if the Empress gets kicked out...wonder who's behind those orders?

I hate how every time a new chapter is released, I already cannot wait for the next week's x__x;

Hahaha! I completely know the feeling! I love Boa, she is the best! But I am worried about Luffy...

Hey, I wonder if they will go to the Newkama Kingdom and meet up with Sanji, or at least recieve news of him XD

That's a possibility O_O Is the island Sanji on the Newkama kingdom?

Yeah, I wonder what'll happen when Luffy wakes up. Depending on what Oda is planning, I'm guessing the comical reaction would either be he wanders around in a chibi 'soulless' mode, with blank white eyes and sunken cheeks, or the serious reaction like denial or rage.

Sanji is on some type of Okama Island maybe the one Iva is talking about, if it is then he might have already left by then. It all depends on how Oda is planning to make the Strawhats join up again.

The new chapter needs to come out stat so we can see what happens to Luffy and how he will handle the loss of Ace. If he even wakes up in the new chapter D: I rly hope he does.

TMe too. And hope he doesn't completely fall apart from the loss. :(

This might seem like a stupid question but where did Crocodile go? o.O I lost track of him a couple of chapters ago...

I was wondering the same thing with him! The last I saw of him, he was fighting Kizaru so Jimbei and Luffy could get away. I hope he is okay, I've really started to like him a lot since this arc.

Ah, I hope he shows up again soon! Maybe he's on that large ship the nakamas are on? @[email protected];

Maybe. I think he might not be for the fact he doesn't seem to really like anyone and wouldn't want to stay on a ship with them for so long, specially Iva and the secret she knows.

I can't wait for everyone to reunite. x)

Yeah, though it seems like everyone's trying to become stronger now instead after the initial outburst after seeing the news of Ace's death, so it might be quite another few chapters before they even set out on their way to reunite. D:

I guess Oda's putting together all the pieces now, since the chapter's been pretty scattered on everyone's movements in the world after the Marine arc. *is eagerly awaiting next week's release*

My favorite characters are luffy and zoro.

A friend on dA recently got me hooked with Crocodile and Doflamingo. :XD

This four week break is killing me, thankfully it should be done with this Thursday.

Impel Down made me start to really like Crocodile but I'm still not sure about Doflamingo. I still can't believe Buggy is now one of my favorite characters, seriously how does Oda do it? One minute I hate a character or forget about them and then I can't get enough.

Who else is totally upset about how long the Strawhats have to be apart, even though its for a very good reason.

Yeah, waiting for the next chapter has had me headdesking in anticipation.

I agree! Oda really has a way with his characters. I remember how I used to really dislike Crocodile, but now he appears quite lovable. I still wonder what Ivanokov has over his head...
I've always thought of Buggy as a humorous character ever since his first appearance. XD

I wonder if their appearance will have a makeover, after the two years gap...

The wait is almost over, yesss!

I still wonder the same thing @ Iva. I really hope it gets mentioned someway in later chapters!

I never even thought of how they might look in 2 years, that makes me more excited! I just hope they don't change too much.

Yeah. I've seen some art on dA of Sanji-after-two-years, and it was him with long golden hair and wearing a pink dress, running around mortifying Zoro. XDDDD

I think I saw a spoiler for the newest issue though its about to come out tomorrow or thursday.

I'm really hoping its fake thought it doesn't look like it. I saw what everyone looks like from the 2 year period and I'm so angry at how Franky looks now. He is still going to be my favorite no matter what but uggghhh, why does he have to look like that?

Everyone else looks pretty good, they haven't changed too much.

:O Do you have a link to the spoiler? *is really curious*

Link

I'm not sure if it will work or not but that is what I saw. I'm dying for the newest update, hopefully it will be out by tomorrow,

Wow, lots of changes for them o__o I didn't see anything about their looks 2 years later on the website that's been updating with tidbits about the possibilities of the Strawhat crew's future, they only had interviews with the mangaka and the people who were doing their voices, and this insanely vague sketch of what Luffy looks like two years later. XD;

One more week before the chapters begin again, I'm so excited. >_<

FINALLY UPDATED, YEAAAAAHHH! I don't think I could have handled waiting any longer. If they pull something like this again, I'm going to be so mad.

So the spoiler was true and since I've read the chapter, I'm not SO mad about Franky anymore. I get that everyone has changed over the 2 year period to get better but I'm going to miss how he looked before.

He looks so HUGE now, its kind of scary. I can't stand the shaved head though. I guess I'll get used to it. So far I really like the way everyone else looks now, even though some of the changes aren't that big lol.

lol Oda needed his rest though XD He's practically been drawing non-stop for years.

Same, his shaved head looks really weird. D:
Usopp looks much more impressive now than before though, he's finally got muscles! XD

I lol'd at the fake Strawhat crew. Can't wait to see Luffy kick some fake ass next chapter. o w o
