One Piece 678 - "Inside The Laboratory's A-Building Lobby"

This week cover page is a cover story, it about Jimbei taking Caribou away from Fishman Island. I seeing a buddy comedy in the future for them :)

Summary

LOL!

Team Zoro and Team Nami (in Sanji's body) have just bust down the shutter door, the G-5 Marines are in a panic at the sight of the poison cloud nearing the open hole, they quickly board it up. Then Brook projects his soul outside the laboratory, and sees that the surrounding landscape has been completely covered by the ash shell produced by the cloud. And then the G-5 Marines turned there guns to Zoro and the others, but Law tell Smoker to control his men, as he do so.

Law switches Sanji and Nami back into their original bodies at her request. Then he informs everyone that there is only one escape route that can avoid the gas, a huge door marked with "Building R-66" on it and they have two hours to finish what they there for and get to the door or they will die. Team Zoro combine with Team Nami to search for the children, Smoker prepares to fight his boss Vergo, and Tashigi and the G-5 Marines search for the escape route. Team Luffy goes after CC, and is warned by Zoro to take him seriously this time. Luffy is attacked by a squadron of centaurs, but takes out all of them at once with his new attack Gum Gum UFO.

The Good

+ Zoro and Kinemon looking cool after cutting down the door

Huh, Luffy can now hover

+ Seeing the outside of Punk Hazard after the Land Of The Dead covering it (also seeing Brook's soul again)

+ The cute PH Dragon (do hope it join the crew)

+ Brownbeard saying you know my name LOL!

+ Zoro telling Luffy to get serious, since they in the New World

+ Luffy using his new attack Gum Gum UFO (it look so cool)

The Bad

- Where Franky and Chopper?

- Sanji getting hit by Nami (at this rate, he'll be the new Yamcha)

- No Monet :(

My Quick Thoughts

I do wonder where is Franky is, knowing him he probably getting a new pair of speedo, after his Fire Ball attack LOL! Also I do like how Luffy make up attacks on the fly, hope he got some more

Overall

I'll give this chapter a 3 out of 5, it was a good chapter (it basically set up)

COOL

Summary

Super Speed On

The brokers continue to look on, as Pekoms is shock that CC managed to capture Monkey D. Luffy. Somewhere else in the New World, Kid and Killer are about to go into a meeting, about making an alliance with Apoo and Hawkins.

So Cute

Back on Punk Hazard island, Law begins his counterattack, by asking if anyone can burn a nearby ship to create a smokescreen, as Franky gladly do. Then he reveals that he had swapped his Sea Prism chains with normal ones, allowing him to easily break free. He then switch Smoker and Tashigi back into their original bodies, in return for forgetting Joker's identity and Law involvement on the island. Outside, team Zoro continue to flee from the poison cloud. Sanji (in Nami's body) catch up to the dragon, while Usopp and Nami (in Sanji's body) ride on Brownbeard. Kinemon and Zoro cut through the iron shutters and Brownbeard bust the door down, and all of them reach the lab at the same time.

The Good

Kid Look So Awesome

+ Kid and Killer

+ Kid making an alliance with Apoo & Hawkins

+ Law's counterattack plan

+ Franky's Fire Ball

+ Luffy being all loud

+ Sanji (in Nami's body) scene

+ Zoro, Kinemon & Brownbeard busting down the door

The Bad

- There was no Monet :(

- The villains being dumb

My Quick Thoughts

This was an awesome chapter. Finding out that Kid make an alliance with Apoo and Hawkins, just surprise me. Since he doesn't seem the type of guy who ask for help. I wonder who they are going after, it probably Big Mom. Also Law's powers are so broken

Overall

I'll give this chapter a 4 out of 5, it was an really awesome chapter (so hype about next week)

Summary

Love that face

CC is a troll

The kids rampage against Usopp and Nami in Sanji's body in the hopes of receiving candy from CC. Nami in Sanji's body prevents Usopp from attacking the poor kids, and convinces him to fight their real enemy, so he fire a Firebird Star at CC, in hoping that CC will explode. But CC manipulate the oxygen levels around him, suffocating Firebird Star and the two Straw Hats. Brownbeard arrives to rescue them from being crushed by the giant kids, but he is quickly defeated by CC. CC boards his Flying Gas Balloon with the children, and broadcasts a video message to brokers in various locations in the New World. He offers to demonstrate the power of his new weapon of mass destruction against those who have intruded on Punk Hazard, promising that the capabilities of his weapon will go beyond anything the World Government could ever produce.

The Good

Awesome!!

Overall

I'll give this chapter a 3 out of 5, it was a ok chapter only more set up

In the research facility, Law is confronted by the mysterious man, Velgo. Law then attempts to fight him, but is instantly knock back down and then is knock out by a steel bamboo stick. Outside, CC has KO Franky, Robin, Smoker & Tashigi without even touching any of them. The G-5 Marines wonder if it is Conqueror's Haki. At the lake, Brook & Zoro are arguing how to deal with the Slime, while Sanji in Nami's body saves the samurai's torso from being eaten by a shark and being poison to death, by escaping using Blue Walk. The reconstructed samurai introduces himself as Kinemon of Foxfire, and easily destroys the Slime around them with his Foxfire attack.

Overall

This was a ok chapter, it answers some questions. The next one probably would be awesome

I'll give this chapter a 3 out of 5, it was an ok chapter

Chapter 671: The Gas-Gas Fruit

This weeks cover page is Nami dress up like Cinderella (probably robbing a royal ball blind) with two mice and Chopper as a get away Carriage. I enjoy this cover page, it tell a nice little story (of Nami robbing people blind)

Summary

Law & Monet Sitting In A Tree

The Slime continues to spit pieces of itself across the lake, poisoning the lake in the process. Brook recognize the blob from a dirty book he have red. Despite this, Sanji who is in Nami's body decide to dives in to the lake and searches for the samurai's torso, since he/she is the fastest swimmer of Zoro's group. At the lab, Law asks Monet to accompany him through the laboratory, saying he want to borrow her powers. CC slips out of Luffy's hold, and demonstrates the combat abilities of his Devil Fruit as the two fight each other. Although Luffy appears unharmed after all of CC's poisonous and explosive attacks, he spontaneously collapses and CC laughs in triumph. Shortly after, Law suddenly falls down injured in the laboratory, before being confronted by a mysterious figure he recognizes.

The Good

+Brook recognize the Slime from a dirty book

I Also Need Duck Tape

+The Samurai & Sanji who in Nami's body want to borrow the book

+The part with Monet & Law

+The Fight with Luffy & CC

+Franky suggesting to put CC into a barrel

The Bad

-I have to wait two weeks to see who is the mysterious person is

-Also Oda forgot to make Sanji in Nami's body coat disappear, when he/she take it off

My Thoughts

Man, this was an awesome chapter. It have great fighting and it move the story along. I got some theories of who is the mysterious person at the end of the chapter. It might be Joker, since Law was surprise seeing him there or its Kuzan (Aokiji) judging from his feet, and he might of stay on the island or it could be Vegapunk

Overall

This was an awesome chapter, it got me hype up for next chapter in two weeks

I'll give this chapter a 4.5 out of 5, it was an awesome chapter but having to wait two weeks drop the rating down

So what did you guys think of the chapter?

1 is really bad, 2 is bad but have some good scenes, 3 is OK, 4 is good and 5 is Awesome!

In what is my first report-like blog, I am reporting an update to the upcoming One Piece: Pirate Warriors game that launches in Japan this March for the Playstation 3. Not entirely sure if this will ever see a US release as of now, but at least we can hope. Information below taken from CrunchyRoll (all respective rights reserved).

"The latest info on One Piece: Pirate Warriors ("One Piece Kaizoku Musou") hit the Japanese interwebs on Famitsu today, so we have some new screenshots and details about the story mode.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors (PS3)

Story mode is called "Main Log" and features narration by Mahito Ooba (who has also provided other One Piece game narration and played some TV anime roles). There are two types of stages, Adventure and Musou. Adventure stages task you with using Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit powers to overcome various obstacles, while Musou stages are battle-centric."

One Piece: Pirate Warriors (PS3)

As a fan of both One Piece and video games, there is a part of me that hopes that this promising One Piece game does eventually see a release in the United States. It would be a blast to play as various members of the Strawhat Pirates from their adventure and battle against the fearsome Arlong and crew (Arlong Park Arc) to what appears to be the end of the Enies Lobby ordeal (Enies Lobby Arc) in the fights against the powerful CP9.

Images of the game below are from both CrunchyRoll and Famitsu's sites. All rights reserved.
