Law trapped!

One Piece manga chapter 712 review

Rating: 4/5

So we finally get a chapter where we can safely say One Piece is moving swiftly. 

This chapter starts with Sanji and how he is trapped by Violet, from the Doflamingo family. Sanji is beaten up by her. As we all know Sanji doesn't hit women so he was badly beaten up and bleeding. To be honest, if he did hit women, this wouldn't be so hard for him but obviously his chivalry won over again, as it did in the Enies Lobby arc. 

Then we get a little insight on what Violet can do. She is the user of the Giro-Giro fruit which allows her to see what someone is thinking. All of it is in plain sight for her. She is seen using it on Sanji to know what the Strawhats are planning but it fails as Sanji is only thinking of her. As Violet's servants go to kill Sanji, Violet turns on them and then tells Sanji to run away but she shows him what happened in the morning. 

It shows CP0 involved in this. CP0 are directly under the rule of the World Nobles. Now, why are they involved over something that involves a Schichibukai and the Marines? Obviously, Doflamingo had a little talk with the World Goverment and I think they both made a deal. So that's why CP0 is involved. 

The whole world is fooled by the events of Doflamingo resigning from being the King of Dressrosa and a Schichibukai; even the marines were fooled by this as we see Admiral Fujitora talking on the den den mushi and how they were fooled. He mentions how he has to bring the Gourousei in to this. Now, why would he do that? The Gourousei are five old men who essentially rule the world. They made the pact about with the Schichibukai and rule over the Marines and Cipher Pol. I am sure they are the ones doing this. 

However, in the end we see Law talking to Doflamingo. The Marines are present as well. Law talks about how Doflamingo fooled the entire world and how only the Celestial Dragons have that sort of power. I think that is a hint of Doflamingo's past and present. If only the Celestial Dragons are that powerful then how did he do it?

Then we see Vergo telling Law how dangerous Doflamingo is just because he doesn't know his past.This shows that Vergo knows about his past. If I were to guess I would say that Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon and he wanted to be a pirate so he gathered few servants as a Celestial Dragon and made them his crew. One of these has to be Vergo as he seems to know about his past. I think you would be considered a Celestial Dragon all your life no matter what you do so Doflamigo still has those powers or I think that he is the son of one of them. Also, when he killed Moria after the war, there was a little conversation between Moria and Doflamingo. In that Moria asked if Sengoku asked him to do this. Doflamingo replied "No, someone higher up than him". I don't see why someone so high up would specially order Doflamingo when they have the entire Navy to their disposal. Makes you wonder, right?

There is one possibility that keeps bugging me and that is that Doflamingo was a slave when he was young and then one of the Celestial Dragons bought him and became close to him but at the same time I fail to see the Celestial Dragons showing these sort of emotions. I mean someone who refuses to breathe the same oxygen as other people use can't be seen showing human-like emotions. 

We also see block C starting in the colosseum. I don't think it will be easy for Luffy, to be honest but we shall see. We know that there is the old guy who wants to kill Luffy as he is Garp's grandson. We also have his grandsons and I'm sure there are plenty more strong ones in that block. 

Zoro is going towards the ship as he heard they are going to attack it. Sanji is probably going to the Green Bit to help Law but I think the Dwarves will help Law on Usopp's request. However, I think Doflamingo already knows they are there with his Observation Haki. 

I also think someone will get badly injured and that will make Luffy really mad and he will go after Doflamingo. I think Law will get badly injured and Luffy considers him his nakama already so it will make Luffy really angry. 

Finally, I've given it 4/5 because I think this chapter has made One Piece progress quiet a lot(finally!) and there are some mysteries that need to be solved; CP0's involvement, Doflamigo's past and how did Doflamingo manage to do that.
