A good chapter even though it was pretty much a build up one once again.
I really loved the ending of this chapter, especially Luffys huge bearded grin and the "shishishi, nice to meet ya" after throwing Spartan to the ground. He really did show that he's not just someone to mess up with. While I was reading the chapter I was actually waiting for him to use Color of the Conqueror, but this was really a much better way for him to show his 'superiority'. The Color of Conqueror would have attracted a bit too much attention and perhaps Luffy has enough brains not to do it. Of course it's possible that it wouldn't have worked against Spartan anyway.
We are finally seeing in which direction this arc is starting to go and so far I'm loving it. Oda is clearly staying with sure thing comedic and character trait based story line: Zoro getting lost, Sanji doing his funny women comedy etc. It seems though that the strongest teams object has been forgotten by everyone and that's really fine by me. This kind of solution works for me a lot better and I can't even hope to predict what's going to happen next as everything is still open.
At this point it feels that I'm very much hoping to see Luffy and the Corrida Coliseum stuff at this point as it seems the most interesting stuff at the moment. Of course depending on what the other strawhats are going to do next will most likely affect that pretty much, since there's of course always a meaning why things go like this each and every time.
So in this chapter nothing else really progressed except Luffy getting himself into a cool situation, the other strawhats getting drifting off to their own ways. I can't really say anything about Zoro at this point, but I really loved the way Sanjis 'path' is going. The comedy was pure gold and now that I think about it there really hasn't been this kind of relationship for him in the whole series. I think it's pretty much obvious that this girl Violet (Who I thought at first was Robin, they really look similar) is going to use him without feeling guilty, but nonetheless I'm sure that they together will provide some good comedic value and maybe this meeting has more deeper meaning than we can even anticipate at this point.
Recap of One Piece Chapter 703: Waiting Room
-Doflamingos underling is explaining to Luffy and Franky how Doflamingo got the Mera Mera Fruit.
-Luffy decides that he wants the fruit and immediately offers it to Franky, they then decide to go to the Coloseum.
-Meanwhile, Zoro is running after the fairy who stole his sword. Sanji is coming close behind him, stops and sees a dancing girl called Violet.
-Sanji being mesmerized loses sight of Zoro, but then suddenly Violet appears before him asking Sanji to hold her.
-It seems guards were after her because she stabbed a man. Soon after she tells that there's a man she wants Sanji to kill.
-At the same time Franky and Luffy are about to enter Corrida Coliseum when they see a toy soldier being chased by the guards. The toy soldier uses "jet walk" and gets away before explaining about the law of Coliseum. This One-Legged soldier is introduced as Thunderous Wrath Soldier.
-Luffy then goes to sign in to the competition and almost says his real name, but Franky stops him in time. So his contestant name and number is 0556 Lucy.
-Luffy enters the waiting room, there are lots of people warming up. We see someone who at least looks a bit like Lao-G doing Karate or something similar on a punching bag.
-One of the contestants, Spartan gets agitated because Luffy is just looking around. He tries to hit Luffy but Luffy grabs his arm and throws him strongly to the ground. "Shishishi, nice to meet ya!"
