[The Windy City]

So Kaido isn't human... And i still have zero idea where this is all going.

[Caliburn]

That Law, definitely my number 2 favourite character after Zoro, pissing off a Shichibukai like that...just being awesome

And we were talking about it a few weeks ago, about the relationship between Doflamingo and Kaidou, so he really has a 'business' relationship with him, though remains the question why Doflamingo would supply such a person as that way he's just making a more powerful foe. Just for money? Or is there another motive?

[Frozenstein]

sky way... interesting. but I thought they will go after Big Mom instead of Kaidu

well it's a rough guess, but I'd say for an emperor seat... who could beat an emperor if not another emperor.

[Sunagura]

this is really getting heat up, kaido beast must be like

:D maybe hehe

[KGB Kakuzu]

Donflamingo is getting rather pissed !

Law likes to push buttons, and be knows which ones to push.

30% chance of success: No big deal to Luffy

I'm interested in seeing what exactly happens when/if Donflamingo decides to cut his claim as a Warlord

[★Skylar Knight]

So it seems it's the end of the Punk Hazard arc now, and I'm really excited to see what island they will arrive to next. The most likely choices would be either Dressrosa or the Wano country, and I'm hoping on the latter.

And a lot of questions have now been brought out about Kaidou, and what I'm wondering about is if he's really human or not. It might simply just be a Zoan type DF, something I want it to be. I don't really want a whole new species, like fishmen or giants, to be introduced in the world of One Piece.

The fact that Doflamingo might give up his title as a Shichibukai was the best part in my opinion, and that he literally snapped in the end was just epic, considering he's a laid back pirate who never really care about anything. I actually want him to retire as a Shichibukai, mostly because it would make Law more awesome than he already is.

Overall, a decent chapter that turned into a whole new development. In other words, I liked it.

Why would he make a current emperor only stronger then? I mean the stronger he makes Kaidou, the more dangerous it becomes for Doflamingo himself.

30% is actually quite big considering we're talking about taking down an Emperor. I mean that's almost having a 1/3 shot on succeeding .-.

Pretty funny though, by now Luffy pissed of a warlord, an Emperor and he's planning to take on another Emperor and all of that still only in a few days

[cryhwks]

Pretty good chapter. I think Law's plan is too keep Doflamingo distracted while they go & take out Kaido. I don't think we have ever seen Dolflamingo this mad it's great.

It was very funny seeing Baby 5 & Buffalo's talking heads. & I can't wait to see what Kaido looks like & what he can do & this chapter pretty much confirmed that it was Kaido that was getting the Zoan army. Very excited for the next arc.

well maybe. he doesn't have an army so he needs a strong ally/partner to take down 1 emperor, claim his territory/position and keep it. however it's just a rough guess...

[Scorps]

Nice chapter. Interesting to see how Law gains the upper hand with sneaky schemes. I wonder if he will not simply double cross the Strawhats.

Still curious to know about this "the beast" guy. Even Doflamingo who intils fear in all who know of him seems fearfull.

Good chapter.

Hahahaha yes 30% is deffinatly high for an Emperor!!! Still think it is funny with such a low percent (compared to 100%) he acts like its no big deal: typical Luffy!

Well in normal conditions you can be sure Law would do that, however Luffy is too irrational and unpredictable to consider this a 'normal situation'.

Well by now it's safe to assume that it's Kaidou who has a Zoan army and the leader of a Zoan army can't be a pushover. On top of that he is a Yonkou and, even though it depends from character to character, overall they can be considered a level higher than the Shichibukai. I mean both Crocodile and Moria lost to Whitebeard and Kaidou. Shanks seems to tie with Mihawk (one of the few Shichibukai who currently has never had any kind of serious troubles with his opponents, probably making him one of the strongest Shichibukai) + it remains a mystery how serious Shanks might have been as he's really relaxed around a person with whom he had several battles that should be the type of battles to the death. And now Doflamingo seems to really fear Kaidou.

Some of the Shichibukai acted like pushovers sometimes, but you can be certain that in the case of the Yonkou that it's definitely serious business.

Talking about Moria according to him he lost to Kaidou because of his 'weak' crew, resulting in making Moria a zombie army. Till now I just interpreted that as Kaidou just having a strong crew, I mean all the Yonkou's have strong crews, but now I'm starting to think it was a subtle hint from Oda implying back then already there was something special to his crew, now we know it's a Zoan army.

True true. And he himself may not be a simple pirate. All high level pirates or characters of his level of influence and "power" are either strong Haki and swords/hand to hand fighters or possess some strong devil fruit power. If we think blackbeard with 2 powers hasn't destroyed them all until now, we must assume the every other one, Kaidou included, is powerfull in their own, not only in terms of their crews.

[Simple Math]

yep! I called it right. DD and Kaidou are somehow allied. now what will he do now?

1. quit being a warlord. get CC back, and get hunted by the marines

2. stay as a warlord. get hunted by Kaidou.

Law's trolling made me vote this chapter 5/5

[Awesome G]

Whoa I can't believe Doflamingo might be forced out of his warlord seat. Law just keeps becoming more and more awesome.

[~Marhuto~]

Good chapter.

Law making a stand... you better oblige Doflamingo.
To how they've been mentioning this "beast"... I could only guess he's going to be the 1st of the four that they'll face.

[Typhon]

Pretty good chapter. I was hoping Doflamingo would get to the island before everyone left, but I guess its too soon for that.

Something I noticed, Law tells Doflamingo he would be hunted by the "Admirals", plural, which confirms that at least one of the former admirals have been replaced.

not replaced.added...though I am surprised.I mean in the war we didnt see any vice admiral who had the capability of becoming an admiral.I mean lets admit it the admirals are literally monsters and are in a league of their own.Also we may see a haki dependent admiral.I mean all the powerful logia's have been taken but it is plausible that he/she has a strong paramecia fruit..>_>

that's obvious. Aokiji left the army and the lava guy become the head, so there's at least 2 new admirals.

Well it would be weird if they haven't gotten at least one new admiral. Even though there isn't a specific law that says there have to be a certain amount of admirals at any given time (as far as I know, though I think this got once confirmed), it would be odd if they went from 3 admirals to just 1. So there should be at least one new admiral.

[~Yubel~]

I loved the end part of this chapter. Even if Doflamingo steps down from Shichibukai Law only said he will contact him again meaning there are other terms and demands he will have Doflamingo accept untill he drives him insane and reaps whatever reward comes with it.

Doflamingo is not a fool though, he knows very well what kinda person Law is now and if he steps down he'll not only get more demands to stall time but now having made enemies of the marines it will be harder for him to operate and the longer Ceasar is out of his hands the closer comes a war with Kaido. Also, we can only assume this is the beginning of Law's plan since he told Luffy once they captured Ceasar things would start moving fast and he'd tell them his plans in detail.
I give this chapter 5/5, it was amazing.

[Jellal Fernandes]

Doflamingo....You mad? Good chapter.

[Frozenstein]

what I'm curious is where is Law's crew and submarine? o.O

I'm pretty sure we will see them soon. I don't think Caesar would have been very comfortable if Law's crew would have been loitering around.
