Talk:Laffitte

Mustache Man
Isn't Laffite the guy in the third pannel?--Thenewjericho 23:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC) http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/552/12/


 * The mustached guy is next to the Fishman Whitebeard Pirate with the Crimin brand shirt. HereMugiwara Franky 23:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

No because if you look in another panel in present time (not in the flashback) in that chapter it shows the mustache guy again with marco.

Soru?
In the episode where Ace confronts Blackbeard (325?), just after Blackbeard gets set on fire, his crew rush to help him. However when Lafitte appears, it makes that 'psshew' sound effect that the CP9 and Luffy make when they use Soru. I know this has no manga basis, but could it be a hint that Lafitte can use Soru, or has that 'soru sound effect' been used when anyone else uses regular 'super human speed'.94.6.202.244 11:35, September 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * In the scenes wherein Oars dodges the Straw Hats' attacks, I believe the same sound was also applied. In any case, its just a sound effect of fast movement used in Lafitte's case.Mugiwara Franky 11:57, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

It wouldn't count anyway since it isn't canon. It wouldn't even be worth a mention. Drunk Samurai 19:23, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Clockwork orange ?
At the very first time i saw Laffite, it immediately reminds me the movie Clockwork orange.

-he looks like Alex (clothes, cane probably with a sword)

-in the scenario, Alex is known for its violence. And at the end of the film, his friends ("droogs") become policemen

-the movie speaks about freedom, Laffite's wings can be symbolic

Lafitte's wings
Pic of his arms being turned into wings found here. Just in case, due to the poor anime depiction.Mugiwara Franky 12:58, July 8, 2010 (UTC)

Chapter 595
In this chapter, Laffitte talks to Vasco Shot and say that if the latter wants to become the captain, Laffitte will kill him. I think that this means he has the ability to kill an Impel Down's level six prisoner. Shouldn't it be added on this page? --Meganoide 12:16, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's just a threat, not an actual show of power. It's pretty much similar to this hypothetical conversation between Luffy and Nami:


 * Luffy: Hey Nami, can I use some of our savings to buy meat :)?


 * Nami: Touch a single coin and I will kill you >:(.


 * It's just like that, however in the Blackbeard Pirates' it's a bit more serious.Mugiwara Franky 13:27, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, you are right. Sorry. --Meganoide 14:28, August 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, there's that, but I've seen two scanlations, and in one Laffitte tells Vasco Shot that he'll die (if he tries to become captain), and in the other, Laffitte explicitly says Blackbeard will kill him. I dunno what the original Japanese line was, but I don't think Laffitte was threatening to kill him personally. I do think he was serious though about Blackbeard killing Vasco Shot if it came to duking it out over the captaincy, hahaha. Raikia 20:56, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Vasco Shot? You mean Avalo Pizarro, right? Anyway, it would seem that Laffitte said that out of Loyalty to Teach. I don't think it should be taken as Pizarro receiving a death threat, but rather him having a death wish. That way it would get the basic idea across without appearing partial to either translation.DancePowderer 21:09, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

You are completely right! I dind't remember who was the one who proposed to become captain, i thought it was Shot but actually it was Pizarro, I conrolled after asking my question. Are reading a second time the chapter I noticed that Laffitte's speech was really only a generical advertisement, not a personal menace. I'm really sorry for the problem I created. Please forgive me :-) --Meganoide 22:01, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
