Re: One piece 697
Interesting thoughts on the "Sky Way". Another possibility would be a sky road between several sky islands similar to Nami's milky road she used recently at beginning of PH.
Also interested in the location Law referred to as "Green Bit" which he is taking the Straw Hats to. Another plus of the SH/Hearts Alliance is that Law has already explored some of the New World which could help the SH out in the future. I agree with Dagoro that the big reveal in chapter 700 will be Kaido, and possibly an exchange between him and Doflamingo. Last edited by dmaner; 01-31-2013 at 11:58 AM. |

Re: One piece 697
There is a cool theory going around the fandomsphere that Kaidou might be based on Typhon, the father of all beasts in Greek mythology.
![]() Typhon's body is comprised of different creatures, Kaidou's epithet is "Hundred beasts", and he controls an army comprised of animal human hybrids. It fits from what I've read. What do you guys think, possible ? Would you like it ?

Re: One piece 697
Actually, since I saw the Kanji behind the "Hundred Beasts" title, it really means "of all beasts". Typhon is known as "Father of all monsters", so I can see a resemblance there.
Furthermore, it'd fit the human face Oda already provided for him when talking about the Yonkou and two of the most common words for "monster" in Japanese, kaijuu and kaibutsu, start as you can guess with the Kanji "Kai" (怪, "mystery"). So yeah, there's definitely a possibility there. PS: that rendition of Typhon is incredibly inaccurate to the traditional Typhon imagery: |

Re: One piece 697
I'm really not sure to make of that whole arc. Really was hoping for something more yet the villains fell almost as easy as the whole fish world arc. When's this gonna get difficult?

Re: One piece 697
This is something I think a lot of us overlooked. The list Duval handed Sanji detailing what gets sold in the auction house at SA reveals the races present in the world of OP.
http://www.mangahere.com/manga/one_p...51/c501/6.html Humans Dwarves Minkmen Long arms Long legs Snake necks Giants Merfolk We have yet to see some of those. Some are theorizing that Kaidou will be a minkman.

Re: One piece 697
Only the Snake necks, Dwarves, and Minkmen have yet to be seen.
If the characteristics of Minkmen are that they resemble actual Minks (or just rodents in general), then I guess that could explain Kaido's "beastly" moniker. I think Minkmen will just be introduced as naturally small, agile, and fast body types. I personally don't think Kaido will turn out as one of these people, but if he did it would make sense as to why BB might fear him. If Kaido turns out to be an all out brawler like Garp but with a body type that's more attuned to speed and agility, he could reek havoc on someone like BB. BB in his fight with Ace was shown as a guy who wasn't incredibly fast, but rather used sneaky tactics to neutralize his opponents DF, and pwned people at close range while tanking their attacks. If Kaido lacks any DF powers to exploit, and turns out to be the physically faster and perhaps stronger of the 2 then he'll annihilate BB close up. It'll be like a pro boxer dancing around a sumo wrestler, throwing jabs that just can't be returned. As long as he doesn't get too close, there's just so much punishment that fat bastard can tank before going down.
