Luffy wins!

One Piece manga chapter 719 review

Rating 3.5/5

This chapter featured the battle between Luffy and Don Qinjao. We got some character development in Don Qinjao and the end of this fight which was pretty brilliant.

So, this chapter starts off with Don falling from Luffy's Hawk Rifle but he gets back up straightaway, it almost looked like it had no effect on him. He gets up and and tells Luffy to quit being a pirate and that makes Luffy angry. We all know what happens when Luffy is angry... EPICNESS!!!

Anyway, before we get to see the final bit of the fight, we get to see Don's past and what actually happened. He went to this island where the ground was covered in ice that no one could even scratch. Don Qinjao, however, can make a scratch. In fact, he could break the whole continent. When he broke the ice and the ground, he found loads of very valuable treasure. He left it there and essentially closed the ice and ground. After a while he met Garp and they had a fight. Garp punched him on the head and basically changed the shape of his head structure. Before it was pointy and hard but after Garp punched him it became like it is now. Since that fight he couldn't even scratch the ice on that island. That is why he hates and blames Garp for his misfortunes. He quit being a pirate there and then since he lost his signature move.

Luffy uses Elephant Gun on him. The fights ends with Luffy winning but the interesting thing is that Don Qinjao's head is back to the way it was before he fought Garp. Now, I think that Don will forgive Garp and Luffy since he can now open the ice island and get his treasure. I also think that he will help Luffy in this fight that's about to come, against Doflamingo, Fujitora, Burgess Bartolomeo and Cavendish. Maybe even Bellamy but I doubt Bellamy will try to kill Luffy since Luffy actually supported him when he was fighting in his Block. 

The stage has been broken by Don and I think that factory will be out in the open now and I think that in the next chapter everyone will be at the Colosseum. By everyone, I mean Sanji, Ussop, Robin and the dwarves and maybe even Fujitora. 

Another thing that stood out was that Burgess. Not cos of his size but because he has figured out that Lucy is actually Luffy. It will be interesting to see what his intentions are but I don't think he can beat Luffy. Plus the others are coming, so together they can easily beat Burgess but we can't forget that there are other people that want to fight and kill Luffy too, plus we don't actually know what Burgess's powers are. He could be a Devil Fruit eater. If he has eaten one, then my guess would be that he has eaten the Zoan type of a Bull or a Rhino since he is so big. 

I gave this chapter 3.5/5 because there wasn't much in it. We saw Don's past and the fight finally ended but I think that we needed to see where the others have gotten to. I think Zoro needs to get to the Sunny quickly because only he can fight them since he has a strong Haki and he isn't doing anything else.
