One Piece Chapter 701: Incredible Blind Swordsman!?

Comments:
Oda has done it once again. I was expecting after so many great chapters one or two chapters which wouldn't be so interesting, but he still manages to keep up the high quality of the events that keep happening. I had a bit low expectations so they were exceeded by a huge margin.

It looks more likely that the blind man with gravity devil fruit is indeed Fujitora, since until now the admirals have been based on real people and the blind man resembling Zatoichi the blind swordsman is just too great to be a coincidence. The Wikipedia article of Zatoichi is definitely worth the read:
-At first sight Zatoichi seems to be relatively harmless gambler who wanders around the country
-A recurring theme of the films and television series is Zatoichi protecting the innocent from oppressive or warring yakuza gangs, and stopping general injustice. His fighting skill is incredible, with his sword-grip in inverse manner (That's what the blind swordsman is also doing)

The blind man who was introduced to us resembles in my opinion very much Borsalino(Kizaru). The most obvious guess would be that he is Fujitora, but I wouldn't go all in with that since it feels a bit too obvious. Also Akainu seemingly having to rely on him implies that Fujitora would at least have some kind of way to separate people, especially people with bounties from other people. I also wouldn't have it impossible for him to be the seventh shichibukai of which there was discussion in the marine base in the last chapter.

Needless to say the blind mans (Possibly Fujitoras) power is amazing making a huge hole to the ground. People were guessing that Fujitoras power would somehow be related to the ground/earth, but it seems that either this blind mans or his sword's power is gravity because before the hole was formed the hoodlum felt being pressed to the ground. I'm saying that it could be his swords ability because using his power of gravity would not require him pulling out his sword.

This was a great chapter with a humor value: I laughed to the scene where the strawhats were watching the toys going around in Dressrosa and they all had such a funny faces with jaws dropped.

Also the disguises that apparently Kinemon made to strawhats made them look absolutely badass with all their beards on. I'd imagine that Oda would have used that kind of sight with some kind of color spread or something like that, but it was awesome nonetheless.

Recap of One Piece Chapter 701: Adventure In The Country Of Love, Passion And Toy

-The Strawhats have landed on Dressrosa

-Luffy tries to fly with Momonosuke

-Momonosuke seems to have some kind of fear of flying, he has a one-screen-flashback which asks him who he is. Earlier that face looked a bit like Doflamingos. He then says that he will never fly. Luffy and Momonosuke have a minor 'fight' and argument after that.

-Kinemon says that in dressrosa everyone wears clothes as he shows in a picture where women are naked and men wear shirts.

-Law gives the strawhats vivre cards that point to Zou. He then shows the map of Dressrosa and explains the plan of returning Caesar to Green Pit.

-Team to give back Caesar is Caesar, Robin, Law and Usopp

-Team to secure the safetu of Thousand Sunny is Chopper, Brook, Nami and Momonosuke.

-The team to destroy the factories and rescue samurai contains Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Franky and Kinemon.

-We are finally introduced to Dressrosa, where toys are living beside humans.

-They then arrive to Port City, Acacia (reference to Torikos Acacia? Dunno, it's a plant too though)

 -The strawhats + Kinemon look badass with their disguise beards.

-While the strawhats are eating they see that nearby there are couple of people cheating a blind man in a roulette.

-Luffy comes and reveals to the blind man that he was being cheated on so the blind man pulls out his sword and makes a huge hole in to the ground making the hoodlums fall in there.
