Kill Luffy!

One Piece Manga chapter 714 Review

Rating: 4/5

This chapter starts off with Thousand Sunny being captured and Nami and the others have been turned into a sketchy form. Everyone, apart form Brook, have a line down their face after an obvious confrontation with Jola from the Donquixote family. We don't know exactly what her powers are but from a guess I would say her powers involve her idea of beauty and she can form the person into that. It's obviously a Devil Fruit power but I can not think which on it could be. I think her true powers would be that anything she can imagine can come to fruition. To be honest, I think if that is true then it could be a fearsome Devil Fruit. Hopefully, we will get more of an insight as to what her fruit actually does. Either way, we see her change the appearances of the Sunny, Nami, Brook, Chopper and Momonosuke.

It's interesting how Doflamingo asked to get Momonosuke only. I think this is a part of an experiment that Doflamingo is doing. I think he will extract the powers from Momonosuke. As we know, he is from the Wano country where they get different powers with their swords. So, I was thinking that at this moment Momonosuke has 2 different powers; the Devil Fruit and the power he gets from his swords. I think that the warriors from the Wano kingdom have powers dormant within them from the moment they're born but with training they get to activate it and that's why Doflamingo is after Momonosuke. He plans to get the powers before it is activated because it could be that once it's in use he can't take it from them. Or it could be that he just wants the Devil Fruit back.

Then we are brought back to the Colosseum where we see a Gladiator being asked to get treated but he refuses. We see Rebecca enter and she tells the guy to be treated but he refuses again. As he walks away we get a panel where he apologises to Rebecca and a shady flashback to when a kid was running towards him for a hug. I think this gladiator is Rebecca's father and the gladiator's statue we saw before the tournament began.

After that we see Bellamy being treated while he reads a letter that Doflamingo wrote. In that letter he tells Bellamy to kill Luffy and if he does that he will be cleared of everything and he will be a leader of the family. That is quite an incentive for a person who looks up to Doflamingo but I don't see Bellamy killing Luffy. This is getting interesting as there are lots of people who want to finish off Luffy. Add Bartolomeo to the list as well! Yes, he as expressed his desires to kill Luffy and apparently his roots with Luffy go deeper than Cavendish's. Now things are starting to get clearer about why Doflamingo offered a prize as big as the Mera Mera fruit: 1) Luffy was sure to be attracted  and 2) Many other people would be attracted who are enemies of Luffy. Or he purposefully invited the enemies of Luffy. To be honest, from this I can see that Doflamingo sees Luffy as a big threat, that's why he got Luffy out of the way.

Then we are taken to Block C. It is coming to the end and I can see that Luffy is dominating it. But there is a giant who is fighting in it and he is literally crushing everyone. Luffy is riding a bull, an infamous bull. It is called the angel of death and it has already sent 21 people to hell but Luffy is riding the beast. Anyway, as it sends people flying it attacks the giant from Elbaf. The giant, Harujudin, punches both Luffy and the Bull. From what I can see the Bull is dead but Luffy survives and checks the bull to see if he is OK or not.

Luffy gets angry and we all know what happens then! He used Gear Second and went up to Harujudin's face and knocked him out. The giant fell and it was epic. We have already seen Luffy defeat a giant in the war and that was pre-time skip. Post time skip, he beats him with one punch and doesn't even have to go in Gear Third.

I gave this chapter a rating of 4/5 because it was an interesting chapter and we get some clues on some stuff. And of course we get to see Luffy's epicness.
