Manga: Chapter 750 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS!


We are back and so is One Piece! Read the latest chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump
Welcome back everyone! Two weeks without One Piece felt like a while didn't? But anyway we are back on track and I have to say the wait was definitely worth it but I'll tell you how later on. For now let's summarise what happened this chapter.

Following Zoro's attack on Pica, the Colosseum contestants push on ahead taking on Doflamingo's men along the way while Kyros makes his way through citizens trying to capture him (albeit due to fear of dying rather than money). Meanwhile, Robin's group meets up with Viola and King Riku at the top of the Royal Plateau. Viola has found the key to Law's Sea Prism Stone handcuffs and wonders how she can give it to him. King Riku is opposed to this at first because, well they are pirates.


Preach it Sister!

But Viola makes her point that they are the only ones capable of stopping Doflamingo and that she cannot trust the World Government or the Marines because their idea of Justice made the current disaster by letting Doflamingo own a country. The Straw Hats are sincere and the Marines only listen when its convenient for them. This pretty much reflects my thoughts on the attitude of the World Government and the Marines (or at least most of them).

Leo and the other dwarves remind Riku of God Usopp's heroics by breaking the toy curse and how the Straw Hats are their only hope. Rebecca offers to take the key to Luffy because she can't just sit back and do nothing. Bartolomeo, Leo and Kabu decide to go along to help Rebecca. She is reluctant at first but Viola agrees and together they agree to meet back at the Plateau.


Kick his ass Franky!

Franky finally arrives at the factory and prepares to blast the door open but is intercepted again by Senor Pink. Rematch soon! Luffy and the others also make it to the first level of the Plateau, fighting their way as they go up. The chapter ends with Sabo confronting Fujitora and the rest of the Marines near the Plateau with a wall of fire and shall not let them past both as a Revolutionary and as a big brother.

As I said at the top of this review, this chapter was well worth the two week break. We get a chance to show everyone's side while the action is going on with Robin's group taking the majority. Viola's speech said my basic thoughts on the Marine's actions and attitudes throughout most of the story and was pretty much the best part of the chapter. Although Sabo at the end was great too.

I can predict us seeing more of Luffy and Law's journey in the next chapter and probably more on Sabo's confrontation as well. The other fights and conflicts will be good to see as well especially the particularly short ones this time like Franky's and Kyros'. Not much left to say except I'm looking forward to the next chapter and I hope you all are as well. I'll see you all next time!


Fanboying like the rest of you :P
