awesome chapter, Oda does it again :P

[GSurge]

Did Kaku just turn into a god damned giraffe?

[Moridin]

yes :P I think he meant to go part human, part giraffe as lucci/jyabura do but he went all the way to giraffe!

[Megaharrison]

Ugh...Kaku vs. Zoro started off on the right track but I was hoping for something more serious. Instead we get another comedy fight.

On the plus Usopp got beat on!

[Moridin]

lol at the usopp comment

I'm pretty sure the fight will be serious once Kaku gets into his half and half form

[Kaku]

every chapter is better than the past :P

i just love the fact that oda suprise use every week.
i am a giraffe!!! :P :wink

[Kimi Sama]

I laughed my head off at that panel of Kaku as a serioously confused giraffe :D great stuff!
It's even better since the fight before that was pretty badass, so this whole thing is gonna be hilarious animated.

I dont like Jyabura in his semi dog form though... the muzzle/tache combo is wierd looking.

[Indigo]

I learned a inportant lesson.

Dont read spoilers! Dont watch spoilerpics either. I saw the picture of Kaku-Giraffe and whas a bit chocked then, but it would have been much cooler if i saw it together with all the other pages...

Damn...

[Kaku]

the first thought was, when i saw this pic, it is a king bull
but then the cap and the suit... :P

at the beginning i didnt like it. but now i really like the giraffe zoan fruit

[Moridin]

its really amusing that there was a double page spread a while back with the staw hats sitting on a sofa with a giraffe behind them and Nami reading a book on giraffe fur :P

[Kimi Sama]

Reckon Kaku can even fight in that form? Or even in the hybrid form? I mean, giant cat man = badass, giant wolfhounddogthing man = badass... but a giraffe form? Wtf can that do?

I wonder if Kalifa also got a duff fruit XD

[Hermie]

Do not mock the giraffe. The giraffe > you.

[Megaharrison]

Kaku can now reach fruit on high branches that most animals could never dream of reaching! Zoro is done for!

[Kimi Sama]

Do not mock the giraffe. The giraffe > you.

Yeah I agree, the giraffe does indeed > me. Probably one of the best things to be in OP for a while actualy smile-big

[TenshiOni]

...............lol

A giraffe? Wow Oda, you never stop being unpredictable, do you?

Heh, but I doubt Kaku will seriously fight Zoro like that the for the rest of fight. He'll probably revert back to normal since he's probably realized by now his Devil Fruit is worthless in combat.....even though he supposedly likes it...

....that is, of course, assuming he's not even stronger in that form. O_o;

[Kimi Sama]

....that is, of course, assuming he's not even stronger in that form. O_o;

Zoro fighting for his life against a giant giraffe in a cap would be so awsome

[Indigo]

Zoro is going to beat this one easy, Remember that Kaku cant use his power so well yet. He tried to reach his "half" form but went right to "animal".
But of course he is really good even without the powers. He almost mached zoro there!
When Zoro put on his bandana, Kaku is owned pretty bad.

[Moridin]

I betcha Kaku's half n half form will rock! Giraffes have incredibly strong kicks, might have to go look for other benefits but I;m sure there are plenty.

[Indigo]

Lets just hope Caplipha got the hippo fruit ^^ Or maybe the Zebra fruit!

That would rock ^^

[Molekage]

giraffes are natures swordsmen! obviously, hoofs can hold swords...
but yea, kaku in a lanky giraffe form is probably even more flexable/agile.

[Chi]

Yeah.. It's funny now, but I doubt this fight will be just that..
Kaku will probably fight in his normal form for a while, and the he'll use half-human form.
Well.. That's my prediction..

I also expect Zoro and (maybe) Chopper to show something new (totaly new and uber cool)..
I mean.. Usop has his Sogeking form. Nami has new tact. Luffy - gears.
Anyway.. This arc is, like, opening to something new.

They are now officially against the goverment.
They will probably have new ship.
They will have a new crewmate.
They will probably get new bounties.
Some of them already got new attacks (fighting development).

[Moridin]

seems like all CP9's zoans are possibly african in origin, leopard, elephant, giraffe and possibly jyabura's could be a hyena.

[Chi]

Emmm.. Jyabura's DF is Dog Dog fruit: type Wolf..

Here's translation by oceanizer form AP



Luffy runs and arrives at the room where Robin, Lucci, and Spandam were.
Luffy: Nobody's here, Robiiiin!! That pigeon guy, I know where he went! I just need to go to the Gate of Justice!
Luffy heads to GoJ.

Scene skips to Zoro and Kaku.
Zoro: You have Robin's handcuff key, right? Give it to me before you get defeated.
Kaku: It's a stupid question. I was regretting not to see your skill in Galley-La. I didn't expect you to come all the way here.
Zoro: I'm several levels stronger than then, so be careful.
Kaku: I can tell. I can feel your aura. What a scary guy... but my sword technique is number 1 in CP9. Don't underestimate me.
Kaku drew two swords
Zoro: Nitouryuu, huh? (2 swords style)
Zoro and Kaku start to fight. In the middle, Kaku Rankyakus.
Kaku: Sorry, but Yontouryuu. (4 swords style)

Battle continues for about 4 pages.

Kaku: Amazing! ... Let me show you my ability!
Zoro: What!? What!?

Scene skips to Soge and Jabura.
Soge looks over the room and
Soge: He takes care of the garden too much... I need Robin's key!
Jabura is still asleep. Key is right next to him.
Soge: That key! No time to think. If I take it silently, I'm the winner without getting hurt!
Chicken comes...!!
Soge (thinking): Oh no! Why a bird furthest from the silence is here?
Chicken and Soge observes each other.

Chicken: "Chun." <- Supposed to be a sparrow
Soge: Chickens don't cry like that!

Jabura wakes up. As soon as he wakes up, he hits Soge. Soge gets blown away.

Jabura: You came. You're the guy who fired at the government flag, right? Sorry for attacking half way. Didn't it hurt?
Jabura takes off his tie. His body changes.
Soge: ?
Jabura: But no worries.
Soge: Eh??
Jabura: Unlike my outlook, I don't enjoy bullying you.
Jabura transforms to a wolf.
Soge: Devils Fruit!!?
Jabura: Inu Inu no Mi! Model Wolf. I'll just slash your throat... and that's the end.
Soge: Shieeeet! I'm gonna do it no matter what! ... I come here to rescue Robin!
Two face each other. ... but ceiling starts to fall apart.
Soge: Uwa! Ceiling is falling apart!

Huge Giraffe... and Zoro fell from the ceiling.
Giraffe: Gagh! No! I planned to stop at human form, but I went all the way Giraffe!
Jabura: Gyahahahaha!! Kaku! I love your ability!
Zoro: A wolf!? What is it here, a zoo!!?



Zoro's last words are killing me :laugh

[Ruri]

Another great chapter from Oda - although all I can think of is Kaku transforming into a giraffe... O_O I can't help but wonder how strong he is in that form, though.


Zoro's last words are killing me :laugh

Yeah, in the last two chapters, Zoro has had the best lines. ^_^

High quality Jojohot.

[Code]

Awesome chapter, the fighting sequences between Zoro and Kaku were simply awesome.

I betcha Kaku's half n half form will rock! Giraffes have incredibly strong kicks, might have to go look for other benefits but I;m sure there are plenty.
Yeah, most likely it might increase his rankyuu ablities while only being partly giraffe. He should be at least somewhat more powerful in that form considering how he decided to revert to that form to finish off Zoro. Though hopefully he still fights in the same style he usually does.

Emmm.. Jyabura's DF is Dog Dog fruit: type Wolf..

Well I believe there are African wolves so it could still go with the rest of the CP9's zoan abilites, so far at least.

Anyways I tihnk that Zoro willl most likely have some 'demonic sword techniques.' Especially considering how hi aura looked like when he did that 'bending sword' moves when they got on Eneis Lobby, his comment last chapter about his sword 'groaning for blood', Kaku's comment about his aura being demon-like this chapter and so on. So most likely he's going to pull of a technique utiliizing his cursed sword.

[Ah B]

A giraffe and a wolf. Interesting zoan (most likely) type fruits that they ate....

[Black Swan]

Woot! wat a great chapter looks like there is gonna be some tag team action. The begining of the chapter did disappoint me a little i thought sogeking was gonna be kick ass but it seems some things never change.

[Kaku]

cant wait for the anime episode(s) of that chapter.

i hope that we will see caliphas ability next week. there is a big chance that she also got a zoan :amuse

[Hissatsu]

.....I'm just curious how he'll use four swords......if it shows this I'm sorry, my computer sucks at downloading.....

[Indigo]

If i understod it right he isnt really using four "swords", he just say that about his legs.

[Hissatsu]

oh......then what's going to happen in the fight......

[raziu]

Stephen translation is up:

[Wrath]

Heh.

Rather than how strong Kaku is, I'm much more interested by the fact that now Zoro and Sogeking are fighting in the same room! Straw Hat team battle ftw.

[Molekage]

you know what? i think that downfall of cp9 in this battle will be a lack of teamwork. kaku and the wolf guy (don't know his name) are not of the best of terms, since the wolf is jealous of kaku. i think that this will be their undoing in this match, while zoro and usopp come up with an uber strategy that takes advantage of this.

[Lord Of Reapers]

I wanna see how Zoro and Usopp are gonna handle the situation

[OniTasku]

A giraffe was most definitely unexpected, though Oda has never really let us down on that sense before. It'll be interesting if Kaku actually can use his Zoan-type power adaquetely enough since he just ate the Fruit. If he can manage to use a half-half Zoan form, then the fight will get a whole lot better. I'm sure this is how it'll happen.

As Code mentioned above, it'll be interesting to see how Zoro's reacts and uses his techniques. Lately he has been slightly on edge and well, essentially a bit more on "blood-lust". I like this more confrontational side of Zoro and from the glimpses of this chapter, we'll be seeing some great fight scenes.

[raziu]

Zoro vs Kaku was simply awesome..and lol Oda managed to show more action in a couple of pages than Kishi in a few chapters:P

Edit: I bet Ussop is happy that Zoro is with him now ;p

[Chrno]

A friend showed me this on aim found it pretty cool ^^ http://e1n.kefi.org/images/BLOG/2005-02/402fight.jpg I think it was drawn by someone in arlong park, looks insanely well drawn @@;v

[Moridin]

yeah that was drawn by e1n at ap forums, seriously awesome :D
