    Great chapter. Although I was kinda expecting Luffy to look a bit different with all those hormones. Lol.

    I never expected Ivanov to be a revolutionary. His reaction to Luffy's revelation was great.

    Damn... no chapter next week =( noooooo

    PS: Seems Marik won the posting of the chapter by mere seconds.

    Yeah, I didn't expect Ivanov to play this big a role in the story. Everything is about to go down and I'm really looking forward to it. I really hope Dragon himself shows up and shows off what kind of power he has, and hopefully he and Luffy meet face to face.

    Bummer that there isn't a chapter next week, because this one got me so hyped.

    heh. I was using a 64 bit browser and it seems that Adobe doesn't have flash for a 64 bit yet. I couldn't upload to mediafire without flash, so I had to go back to 32 bit and start over. That slowed me down.

    I love the tie-in happening here. I too was surprised to see a lot of action coming from Iva (and any of the others, for that matter). He seemed pretty adamant about staying at his new kingdom and doing his own thing, but tying him to the revolutionaries is much more exciting, and seems to suit him well. It makes sense to pull Dragon back into the series at this point -- I hope we get to see more action from him soon.

    I do too, but how can you justify that? How in the fuck does that make anything close to sense? He should have nothing to do with this war and as far as I'm concerned, besides his rebel forces, he's weak ass. On top of that he's the most back story minor character in the entire series right now. We even know more about Ivankof and his past, and we just met him.

    So I'd love to see you justify this Assert. Love to see.

    Well we know Dragon is the most wanted man in the world. That has to count for something. How weak can he be when he's basically the Pirate King? There's no point in differentiating between Pirates and Revolutionaries. Small time pirates don't care about the law -- that's why they are pirates. Revolutionaries are just pirates with the power to do what they want.

    Luffy wants adventure and to fight strong guys. We don't know what Dragon wants, but it seems he wouldn't want his son to die. And it makes sense that supporters of his would end up in Impel Down.

    Someone's either really butt hurt, or really fails at life.

    Dragon might be minor in the sense of development, but he plays a huge role in the grander plot clearly. Why can't he have anything to do with this war? He is a revolutionary after all, against the World Government no less. Whose Whitebeard supposedly fighting? The very same.

    Dragon is clearly not weak if it wasn't obvious enough by him being labelled as the World's Most Dangerous/ Wanted Man, and Ivanov's question about what the hell the WG was trying to do capturing Ace.

    Quoting this for emphasis.

    That alone is enough. Not to mention the fact that he seems to know Luffy's every move? So it shouldn't be surprising if he knew that Luffy was doing this. He saved Luffy from certain death before too, so he clearly cares about him.

    What I don't get is why someone WOULDN'T think that Dragon should be the least bit involved at this point.

    Now, if he doesn't directly get involved, it's all good, but it makes perfect sense to incorporate him into the story a little since, yeah, let me quote it again.
