Manga: Chapter 732 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS!

New year, new chapter! Read One Piece each week in Weekly Shonen Jump!
Welcome to 2014 everyone! I hope you all had a nice break, lets not waste any time and dive right back in. The dwarves as well as the Lightning Soldier, Usopp and Robin take the secret underground passage to Dressrosa's trading port where they will capture and knock out Sugar (one of Doflamingo's subordinates) in order to turn the toys back to humans.

Behold; the best haircut in the world!

But because Franky is too big to enter the tunnel, he'll have to go through the House of Toys, which means in a classic Franky fashion, he'll go on a rampage and will cause a distraction at the same time. At one of the entrances Franky comes across has a lot of guards and perhaps someone who is even more of a pervert than he is, Senor Pink, complete with baby attire...weirdo.

While Franky lets loose all sorts of attacks, Doflamingo and his crew listen via Transponder Snail from all across Dressrosa. None of them seem to be worried, especially little Sugar, because none of the Straw Hats apparently know of what shes capable of....oh really?


I always knew little kids were evil!

Meanwhile, Usopp and the others continue to travel through the secret tunnel. The dwarves explain that the guards at the entrance of the Toy House are part of the Diamante Army's Fighter Brigade who have supposedly never been defeated.

Just in case any of you were confused by that, Leo helpfully explains that 3 elite members of Doflamingo's crew each lead their own squad and we even get a chart explaining each elite and their underlings (at least the ones with names). Usopp seems relieved that Franky is handling the guards himself but he is reminded that none of them are to be underestimated.

Thanks for the helpful exposition advice Leo!

Finally, they all arrive at the underground port which seems very loud and booming even though they weren't able to hear all this above ground. The chapter ends with all of them seeing the massive, bustling port full of toys at work.

I may be slightly biased by saying a good chunk of this chapter was particularly good because Franky managed to do one of the things he does best; blow stuff up. This is always good to me with his pistol-shaped hair being the icing on the cake.  Let's just hope that he shows Senor Pink who the REAL pervert is!


Seriously, Robin looks like she should be in a spy flick

Aside from that, we're still on the ride towards the big confrontation that this arc is forming, the fact that Doflamingo has three armies under his winged coat instead of one big army makes the battle seem even huger than it already is and makes it more exciting for individual fights with the Straw Hats.

Overall while we are continuing to hype up the big confrontation instead of simply getting straight to it, I do appreciate the build up as it is still very interesting and will make the big battle even more worth the wait. Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a frog in my throat that needs destroying. Bye for now!


This is like the pot calling the kettle black
