i have a decent grasp on both verses...so if you need to bounce ideas off somebody i'm willing.

coming back to OP though im interested in seeing how far doflamingo is willing to go to avoid kaidou's wrath as well as taking care of those on his shit list. when you openly use your status as a world noble which seemed like the ace up his sleeve and entrap an admiral within your schemes...
well i think that there is still another angle that he's playing which we dont see here

 

Did Law lose his crew or something? I wouldn't mind law joining with the Strawhats, he's my 2nd favorite Supernova after Luffy.

 

IIRC his crew is waiting for him in Wa no Kuni. There are so many things going on in this arc it's crazy.

 

Jesus, I was not expecting the mass alliance thing. This is gonna be wild and fun.

This is actually damn nice timing with the anime, as we're currently experiencing the tournament and meeting all of these people over there.

 

Law's crew is currently at Zo, which is where the rest of the Strawhats that aren't fighting on Dressrosa are heading. Unless Big Mom has some shenanigans planned.

 

Oh fuck you for the end of the chapter, Oda.

Fuck you with a rusty pole.

You can't end it like that and then have "One Piece will be on hiatus for two weeks" written there.

He had a throat operation so you can't really blame him.

 

Tonsils removal doesn't effect you more than a week. Dunno why the 2 week hiatus.

 

The guy sleeps for three hours and spends the rest drawing while chain smoking.

I'm betting this is his editors taking the chance to force him to rest.

 

Having your tonsils removed as an adult is much more difficult than as a kid. Also I think that the week is the short end of time for recovery and that it can take up to two weeks, maybe a little less.

 

It usually takes is usually at least ten days to two week on average, I believe? Whether it be because of that, or because of his editor wanting him too rest, leave it be.

 

Wait. If Sabo's some high ranking officer in Dragon's army then did everyone know he was alive but Luffy?

 

Pretty much.

 

If you choose to believe that everyone knows the identities of all the people in the Revolutionary Army, sure.

 

I'm still scratching my head as to how Sabo became second in command of the revolutionary army at the age of 20. Surely, there are other competent people in the army? And at what age did he take the post? 15?

 

Tbh that Dragon could raise Sabo and not Luffy makes 0 fucking sense to me.

 

Luffy was put where he was put to keep him safe. If the enemy doesn't know that Dragon has a son, they won't be looking for him.

 

Of everybody in the Revolutionary army? No. Of the high ranking members? Probably. Sabo was likely still relatively high ranking before the time skip if we compare him to Ace. Note that Sabo's already been identified by Don's people so it doesn't seem like some huge secret.

 

I'm assuming Dragon took him on as his direct apprentice. Which means that he had more trust in Sabo than anyone else and then the fact that Sabo is talented means that its not too much of a stretch to think that he'd make it that far.(plus maybe the revolutionaries have their own Garps who don't really care for such positions).

As for Dragon not raising Luffy. I'm pretty sure it will be explained but if I had to guess I'll say that Dragon made a promise to someone or to himself that he wouldn't rope in Luffy into his cause.

If Luffy had similar ideology to Sabo I'm sure that he would've met his dad along time ago but he doesn't really care about revolutions and what not so they never met. Luffy can grow up without the decisions of his father affecting him unlike his brother.

 

THIS.

Probably Luffy's mother who is also a Tenryuubito. (for the drama )
