Also is it me, or is Oda getting tired of drawing fights? I would have liked to see Ussop Vs. Trebol or Franky vs. Senor Pink and Mach Vice.

Usopp didn't run; he held the line.

This is the first time he's ever done that without another Strawhat beside him.

Pretty sure he's saving the fights to fully show off the powers later when the Strawhats duke it out with them individually.

I made a thread with a link at least but it got dumped in favour of this one

Also having two Straw Hats beaten off panel soundly? I'd like to see how the crew is gonna fare against yonkou tier crews when Dofla and company are cleaning the floor with most of them
>> No. 33139

It was actually Franky vs Senor Pink and Mach Vice AND the marine vice admiral, plus all their mooks, on his own.

It was kind of lame it happened off-panel though.
>> No. 33140
>>33138
Well, Franky at least was in a pretty disadvantaged situation. He basically did a suicide run just to buy Usopp and the dwarves some time. He stood there to tank the bulk of Doflamingo's forces, which was two top ranking officials at the same time plus hundreds of mooks with rifles.

Usopp has no excuse at all, but then again, he was never a top-tier fighter. And I don't know if I can even cheer at him for what he did this chapter.. cause he did nothing. Sugar pretty much KO'd herself.

Fuck, I did not see that coming.
>> No. 33144
I get that Franky basically sacrificed himself purely to cause chaos and be a distraction but it's just disheartening to see none of the crew aside from luffy really fight (zoro probably will get a chapter for himself) and most of them getting smacked around and/or beaten

This is the first REAL test for the crew collectively against a strong rival crew and it's been a off panel beat down fest so far. At this rate were gonna need another training arc before they throw down with a yonkou tier crew.

Those fucking faces.

Also Kyros' backstory and babby Viola/Rebecca. Lots of good stuff in this chapter.
>> No. 33146
>>33144
The last thing we need is shit like a whole chapter just for Zoro fighting. This arc has been stretched out with nothing but fighting enough as is.

Though I agree that he's skipped over a lot of very interesting fights recently.. which confused the fuck out of me a couple weeks back. My guess is he finally got someone to prod him along and rush him a bit. Or he's giving Toei some stuff to keep them busy.
>> No. 33147
>>33144
It's not really a fair test when it's more than one against one strawhat.
>> No. 33148
There will probably be some actual fights later. This might not even be the only arc involving the donquixote pirates.
>> No. 33149

That last page is seriously one of Oda's finest

>no sui sui no mi

Literally my least favorite chapter in this arc. best part was when toy soldier managed to get away from doflamingo and his crew-on one leg mind you-while carrying king riku.
>> No. 33152
>>33151
Oh I'm sorry, did you want the flashback to last two more chapters? To bloat this thing up even more? The flashback is supposed to be rushed since it's a quick internal thing Kyros has with himself (and didn't start this chapter, it was rushed in the last one too). It's not expanded because he's not really telling it to anyone, as opposed to other flashbacks.

The sui sui is shit and that last page was great. Stop being a contrarian.
>> No. 33154
>>33152
>sui sui is shit
You must not be very creative.

I'll keep to my opinion that the flashback could have been executed far better, and that seeing two potentially awesome battles "off paneled" was lame.

you can keep getting more defensive about this tho
>> No. 33155
>>33154

Mayhaps the off-screen jobbing is because Oda needed to give the anime more (mostly cannon) filler material?
>> No. 33156

If oda gave them some bullet points, then yeah. i can dig this.
>> No. 33157

>sui sui fanboy

wut
>> No. 33159
He didn't show the fights because there was very little little reason to show them. The outcome for both was obvious from the get go and actually showing them would spoil too much of their opponent's abilities, which he's probably saving for their main fights (when they get defeated for real).

It's not a scheme to get the animator to extend them with filler or whatever. Just efficient writing.
>> No. 33160
>oda spamming eneru reaction faces

I'll never get this mentality. Is there a rule about Oda being able to use that kind of face? And I love how 2-3 times for appropriate reasons is now spamming.

>usopp being useless

He knocked out Sugar. He's one of the most useful right now.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Like I said, Sugar knocked herself out. Usopp did, quite literally, nothing to beat her.
>> No. 33163
Inadvertently or accidentally is still doing it.
>> No. 33164

He would have been useful if he had shot it into her mouth, as it stands he's completly worthless and the scene is utterly contrived

Usopp went crazy and scared her into being KO'd. Accident or no, Usopp saved the day.

I eagerly await that day when van augur trips over usopp's corpse and usopp saves the day.
>> No. 33168

>>33164
Pretty much this.
I guess Usopp fanboys have to take whatever they can at this point, cause the guy's done nothing this whole arc. He planned on abandoning the dwarves, which is the lowest of the low, and then came back to "save the day" in the most anti-climactic and unsatisfaying way imaginable. Then promptly gets his ass kicked and KO'd.

I understand it's part of his character and that he's supposed to be cowardly, but don't act now like the sun shines out his ass and he's the best thing since toast. Especially when most of you were complaining about him nonstop a few weeks ago.
>> No. 33170
>>33168
> He planned on abandoning the dwarves, which is the lowest of the low
It did seem a little out of character, but there are hints to me that this arc was planned a long long time ago. Before a lot of his development. I don't think anyone said he was the best character ever, but we do like him, and part of that is for his flaws. And those who where complaining about him earlier where either complaining about his total act of cowardice after his development, or they just weren't the same people.

Also, what do you like about this series?
>> No. 33171
>>33170
A lot of stuff. That not being one of them.
>> No. 33172
The Strawhats are learning a pretty valuable lesson that most tabletop roleplayers know already: DON'T SPLIT THE PARTY. Their huge, intricate plans usually get through by the skin of their teeth, but this time they bit off a little more than they could chew. Sure, this chapter is the tipping point where the Doflamingo empire will start fall like a stack of cards, but that's how plot works. Every time we've seen the Strawhats absolutely succeed they've been working as one unit accomplishing goals together.
>> No. 33173
For some reason it JUST hit me that next chapter is gonna be a huge fucking deal. Everybody that's in a tight spot is gonna be instantly saved by toys turning back to normal everywhere.

If that Sour Grape thing wakes Usopp up he may very well have his greatest lie come true.

Luffy and Zoro are already occupied, Usopp and Franky are out, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, and Brook aren't even on the same island anymore.

Robin on the other hand, is no longer a toy and still relatively fresh. Could this be her long awaited moment to shine?
>> No. 33178
>>33177
ha
Hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>> No. 33179
>>33177
Luffy will have the new aid of Kyros, Usopp will have the new aid of every single warrior in the docks and Franky will most likely be spared simply because every citizen will turn back to normal and the Family will have to deal with that first.

As for the Robin thing. No.
