I have to say that compared to quality of One Piece chapters this weeks chapter was in my opinion of somewhat lower quality. I'm basing this mostly on the feeling that I had after I had read the chapter and when usually I get sort of sense of excitement after reading One Piece chapter, this week I had none. This however is somewhat understandable, since we are on this boat for the long run so it's somewhat impossible to make incredible chapters every week. Those incredible moments have to be of course built up in good manner.
Even though I didn't get any seriously good feelings about the chapter I really don't have anything bad to say about it except that it felt extremely short. The essential change of Bellamy was this week's chapters main point and very understandably. In the span of two years he managed to change from a somewhat filler character into a villain who I now consider a lot "better" in a way. I like it how such a character has been going through not only in means of outer appearance, but more importantly in change of ideals, which is in some way one of the main point of the whole manga.
I think that Oda really succeeded in bringing up a character which earlier was very uninteresting and spin him up in a way making him a lot interesting than before. The more I think about it the more I love this weeks chapter title: "I won't laugh at you".
Recap of One Piece Chapter 706: I won't laugh at you
-Captain of the Balt Club pirates, Bartolomeo the Cannibal with Bounty of 150 million beli is finally properly introduced. He somewhat looks like a vampire. He throws a ball at audience which seems to hate him. The audience thinks it's a bomb, but they are mistaken.
-One more person is missing, who is considered as exact opposite to Crazy Bartolomeo, he isn't introduced by name, but the announcer is pretty much describing someone who could only be Bellamy the Hyena.
-Back at the coliseum, there are a lot of people hurt from the battle with Jesus Burgess. Someone then bumps to Luffy and he is no one other than former captain of the Bellamy Pirates, Bellamy the Hyena, user of the Bane Bane fruit, bounty of 195 million beli.
-Bellamy the Hyena recognizes Luffy, who also recognizes Bellamy. Bellamy says that he went to the Sky island skypiea and changed. His resolution comes clear soon: if he wins the tournament, he will be raised to the status of leader in the Don Quixote family.
-We are then shown the C-block and its most promising fighters including Armed warrior Sai, Gladiator Lucy (Luffy!), Assassin, Kelly Funk, Bounty Hunter Jean Ango, Armed warrior Boo, Boxer Ideo, Fighting Bull, Giant Warrior Hajrudin, Assassin Bobby Funk and Don Chin Jao
-D-block includes Necromancer Mummy, Adventurer Orlumbus, Cavendish, Gladiator Meadows, Fighting Lion, Gladiator Rebecca, Pyromanic Damask, Gladiator Acilia, Army Captain Rolling Logan, and Army Commander Suleiman, once again some of the names unreadable.
-Then there's B-block which includes Fighting king Elizabelio, Brawler Bluegilly, Army Commander Tank Lepanto, Criminal Abdullah, Pirate Bartolomeo, Gladiator Ricky, Pirate Bellamy, Tactician Dagama, Fishman warrior Hack and Criminal Jeet.
-The battle of B-block is beginning. Bellamy is thinking who he should take out first, we then see that some of them are combining forces even though it's battle royale.
