One Piece Chapter 700: Aces Mera Mera Fruit

Comments:
It was an excellent chapter, even though I was slighty disappointed since I honestly waited for a little bit more. We got to see a little bit something that happened at other places, but nothing much. I believe this may be because this isn't a complete transition from one arc to another but sort of a continuation to Punk Hazard. Couple of pointers:

It seems that Jewelry Bonney has managed to escape from the Government and when we saw Akainu (or Sakazuki) once again it seemed like he was a bit younger than before. This is most likely because of Bonneys power.

Kid Pirates mentioned of "Abusa" who is a free writer and is apparently known to make some scoops lately, I'm pretty sure that this mention of him basically means that we will at some point meet him. I'll be keeping my eye on the future chapters if we manage to catch him in action before he is 'formally' introduced to us.

This chapter was somewhat interestingly named "his pace" which of course refers to Joker's ability to control the flow of discussions to his way. This is in my opinion on way for Oda to show how Joker actually managed to make it to the top of the underground businesses, very nice.

Also we were introduced to Commodore Brannew, who I think resembles pretty much Aokiji, or rather Kuzan. I wouldn't be surprised if they'd be related. Also we got a mention of Fujitora, which can be translated as "Pink Tiger". There of course has already been some speculation whether he has, like the previous admirals, some kind of Logia


It seems that we are introduced to the match ups of this arc. It's a rather unknown at this point how it will turn out, but it seems that Doflamingo has his own special group of people which represent suits of cards. Trevor we already saw clearly who seems to have some kind of slimy logia/paramecia: also Diamante was introduced who Doflamingo seems to keep in high regard. I believe Diamante will most likely be Zoros match up, it would suit him being hero of the colosseum and I wouldn't be surprised if he'd be some sort of swordsman.

And finally Doflamingo having Aces Fire Fruit, I think that he prepared some fruits at the war for the possibility of obtaining some new devil fruits. This is very interesting turn of events even though it was somewhat speculated beforehand, but if and when strawhats emerge victorious from this arc it will definitely be interesting to see who will finally get to eat the Fire fruit.

Recap of One Piece Chapter 700: His Pace

-News of Donquixote Doflamingo quitting from Shichibukai are spreading. Jewelry Bonney is eating pizza and reading the newspaper.

-Also Jinbei and most likely Crocodile are reading the paper.

-In the New World, Hideout of the Kid Pirate crew they wonder who is this free writer and how does he know about Kid pirates alliance. He speculates correctly that Luffy and Law are after Yonkou, but doesn't know which one of them.

-At Dressrosa Doflamingo answers to the Den Den Mushi and says that he has left the Shichibukai.

-Luffy yells at him saying that he is the one going to become the pirate king. Doflamingo asks where has he been for the last two years. He also mentions that he has something with him that he would be interested in. Luffy thinks he is witholding meat and Law stops him not getting into Doflamingos pace.

-Joker wants to check whether his business partner, Caesar Clown is safe.

-Trafalgar Law reveals their plan, 8 hours from nay on the solitary island north of Dressrosa, Green Bit, southeast beach they'll leave Caesar Clown there. Leaving Caesar there is sort of a decoy.

-Their real objective is to destroy the Smile Factory.

-Luffy gets all happy once again saying that he's ready for an adventure: he's looking forward to seeing Dressrosa as well as Wanokuni. After that there's a funny scene of Law getting sucked in his pace.

-Inside they are eating and Kinemon is talking that they went out in the sea to look for a place called Zou. Law mentions that his crew, comrades are waiting there. Kinemon tells how his fellow samurai Kanjuurou became hostage to cover for Kinemon.


-In the New World close to Red Line we are introduced to Commodore Brannew who talks about the Shichibukai.

-Current Shichibukai are "Hawkeye" Dracule Mihawk, "Ten Yasha" Donquixote Doflamingo, "Tyrant" Bartoholomew Kuma, "Pirate Empress" Boa Hancock, "Surgeon of Death" Trafalgar Law, "Clown Star" Buggy and the seventh man is apparently left secret for now.

-Akainu is there saying that he has sent Fujitora (new admilar most likely) somewhere.


-In Dressrosa Baby 5 is yelling for Trevor who appears near her. Trevor looks like a slimy guy who most likely has logia or paramecia.

-Inside the castle Doflamingo is in front of chairs which represent four suits of cards, spade, heart, diamond and club.

-Doflamingo is talking to Diamante, who is the hero of Coliseum and represents suit of diamond.

-Trevor appears and gives Doflamingo a box, who gives it to Diamante.


-Doflamingo is now holding the Mera Mera, Fire Devil Fruit which belonged to Ace. He says that Luffy for sure doesn't want anyone else to have it.

-Meanwhile, the Strawhat crew have arrived before the country of love and passion, Dressrosa.
