User blog:JustSomeDude.../759 - So That's a Thing...

Alright, a bunch of stuff happened this chapter, but let's skip over large quantities of it because I have class soon, but also want first-ies on the 759 blogs:

Doffy just undeniably confirmed the deaths of both Monet and Vergo. Law's a murderer now. Oda has dealt in death once again. The implications of this for the series are huge. However, it's important to note that the deaths are not the fault of anyone on the crew.

Bellamy and Luffy are friends now too. We all kind of figured this would happen, but to see it in this chapter really shows the strength of their respect for each other.

Also, Gladius is totally fucked unless some friends come along. I don't think he can handle Robin, Barto, and Cavendish (and Habuka?) without the nutcracker army.

Finally, let's talk about the fight. It starts with an emphasis on how Doffy will fight dirty and use any means to win. He's a true pirate, eh? Well, guess what? Luffy and Law will also fight dirty and use any means to win. It's like everyone here is a pirate! Once again, Oda slams us over the head with the idea that cockiness will get you nowhere, it's all about taking risks and having the drive to win at any means. Ambition is what it takes to win above any other skill, which makes a lot of sense given that "Haki" can be translated to "ambition".
