Manga: Chapter 738 (SPOILERS)

SPOILERS

Stick close by and read One Piece on Weekly Shonen Jump!

Summary
Robin leads Trebol to the docks in order to draw him away from Sugar.

The Tontattas forces attack Sugar but fail after half of their forces are turned to toys.

Trebol discovers the ruse and destroys the Officer Tower.

Thoughts

After a two week break, we go return back to the Underground Factory where the Tonttatas and Team Usopp are attempting to overthrow Sugar's control on the toys.

We all knew that the Tontattas' plan would not work but I thought it would at least be attempted. Oda did a great job in tricking us that the plan was enacted with Trebol shooting a fly. None of us were surprise but the biggest surprise was that it wasn't Leo who was shot. So, at least Oda knew that we were expecting this plan to fail.

The Hobby-Hobby ability may actually be the one ability that I am afraid to see used on any of our important players. We have now saw the horrors of how it can be used by Sugar and it is terrorizing. She turned half an army into a pile of teddy bears and turned them against their brothers-in-arms. None of them remember their former fleshy comrades and it looked as if even Usopp was effected by the side effects of the Hobby-Hobby ability. Now, imagine how gut-wrenching it would be if the power was used on either Usopp or Robin.  

This chapter did provide us with some insight on how the Smile Fruit is made and why the Tontatas are being captured by the Doflamingo Family. There is literally something in the water that is making groves of fruit bearing trees to produce fruit with what could be Zoan type make-up. The Tontatas then come in to cultivate the fruit and make sure it becomes ripe enough to sell on the black market.

That is one freaky looking Tontatta. 

It is a sad thing to see as the Tontattas think that these henchmen mean good when they are actually being used by them. They could easily overpower them but I guess great strength comes great naivety.

It is nice that we are starting in the factory. Hopefully we can move our way up after things are resolved in the Underground Factory. The events in the underground could be the most nerve-wreaking things in the whole arc as we worry if our favorite Straw Hats would be turned into toys during the process of knocking out Sugar. Usopp has the best chances to do it seeing that he has past experience with overwhelming opponents with simply illusions and tricks. The only problem is that he isn't confident enough to step up to the plate.

Is that a flying ship?

Once things are done underground, some real havoc can happen which would make things interesting throughout the kingdom. I am looking forward to seeing that just as much as Doflamingo's face when he finds out that the Straw Hats had made it down to the Underground Factory.

Until next time true believers!

Who can't move their hands super fast in this series?
