Reminder to keep all discussion of future chapters that haven't been posted yet under spoiler tags / images. This series may be 2 decades old and unfinished, but this may be some Anon's first experience with One Piece.
Just like that, we turn back the clock to 50 years ago...End of Chapter.Tomorrow: That Song
>>265825092>>265825144Always like seeing villains being pals. Wonder what happened to Hogback, you think he joined Moria on Hachinosu?>>265825767>>265825815Really like that Laboons friends turned out to be actual people and not some facless scumbags we never hear about again. Can't wait to cry tomorrow.
>>265825861Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>265793777Been thinking about this question all day. For me it's:>Luffy: Saying "I'm the man who'll surpass you to be pirate king" to Big Mom and Kaido.>Zoro: "Nothing.. at all">Nami: Tagging in for Sanji against Kalifa.>Sanji: Either Mr. Prince or "Thanks, I needed a light" to Enel.>Usopp: Sniping Sugar. Only just barely inches out the duel with Luffy/the apology after though.>Chopper: The third rumble ball. Fighting Queen is a close second, would've been first if he got to do just a little bit more there.>Robin: "I want to live!">Franky: The fight against senior pink.>Brook: "Young lady, what kind of idiot plans for his own death?">Jinbe: "A crewmate of the future pirate king can't afford to tremble in the presence of a mere yonko."
>>265825861Thank you for posting.
>>265827121For me Queen is Chopper's shining moment. After handling the plague mist from Jack and the mummy virus, the ice oni virus was him taking his medicine to the ultimate level, turning viruses into his own weapon to combat bio viruses and he got to interrupt more "honorable samurai death" bullshit that Usopp rejects later. He took on the consequences of extending his Monster Point as well and while he may not have made a huge dent in Queen, in my opinion the Chopperphage WAS his biggest hit.
>>265825230shadow-victims receive part of their zombie's memories? The poor plate-woman...
>>265828285Yeah that's why I do rate it highly and dislike when people say Chopper hasn't gotten to shine since the TS, I just think it lacks a moment of catharsis to follow up on the hype of Chopper hitting Queen. Queen just kinda tanks while Chopper is slowly worn down, there's no climax to their physical confrontation to follow up the mental one which I think is a real shame.
>>265825815wait, so Brook was white this entire time? I always assumed with the afro and the soul music he was.. well never mind
>>265825861yohohoho i love brook!! can i see your panties, OP?
>>265827121>>265793777Ya know, might as well put my hat in the ring as well.Luffy: his stand against the admirals. His fight with Kuma at sabaody comes as a close second though.Zoro: "Nothing happened" is an obvious one here.Nami: her fight against Miss Doublefinger.Ussop: either Sogeking shooting down the world government flag or his second time scaring sugar.Sanji: his wedding with Pudding where he calls her third eye beautiful.Chopper: I still think his backstory where he tries to save Hiriluk still hasn't been topped.Robin: "I want to live!!!" Is iconic.Franky: yeah it's the seƱor pink fight.Brook: him getting all the ponegliph scratchings out from big mom was his MVP momentJinbe: his blood transfusion with Luffy.Merry: saving the strawhats one last time at Enies Lobby.Sunny: the first coup de burst.
>>265828756I disagree slightly, Chopper tanked as well during that period. He stood toe to toe with Queen for thirty minutes, even if he didn't damage him he survived and put himself on the line for it. I count that for a lot.
>>265825767I know Brook is not a character a lot of people get attached to but I cannot imagine the sheer anguish that he felt while being all alone for so long and same goes for the amount of relief he feels right now, Oda is a sick bastard for making a single man go through all of this
>>265825230It would be funnier if real Lola thought that Nami was a man and proposed to her.>>265828638Margarita left her old job and is now working with a crazy scientist that lives in a castle.
>>265825230Why did Lola's zombie have her name anyway? All the other zombies got called by the names (real or made up like Kumashi) of the body.
>>265825021Nami...
>>265825282>>265825464Kek.
>>265830169If we assume that lola had a strong shadow with a strong will (stronger than sanji and zoro lmao) the zombie probably woke up and said that it's name was lola and everyone around it just said "ok sure" and stuck with itThis is backed up with the fact that the zombie kept on with her thing of wanting to be married
>>265825730>>265825767>>265825815Kino, it's time.
Sweet, only 626 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
>>265825861Thanks OP btw.
>>265831186We are.So Close.To The Brand New Chapter!Start me Up
>>265825815his smile and optimismsoon to be gone
>>265825861Thank you OP.
>>265825144>Just casually reveals that Ace is going to die>>265825861Thanks, OP.
>>265825021Nami sexo >>265825144A-acebros?
>>265825144Do you think Oda regrets never really working out a broader timeframe for the series? As of this point alabasta couldnāt have been more than a month ago and weāre probably less than three months out from Luffy leaving his village for the first time
>>265825861Thanks for the dump, like always OP.
>>265828919Word of god says heād be Austrian irl. Although given the appearances were given, especially in the anime, he looks the least matched up among the irl mugiwara races.
>>265825861Thanks for da read, OP
>>265835656That's the huge flaw that always bugged me, from the start to water 7 you could put some 2 years the design changed so much that would be ok. Kinda shit that Luffy Speedrun the whole pirate king thing
>>265835656Yeah.
>>265825144Acebros, we lost to some random fatfuck...?
>>265825767A fucking skeleton cried.
>>265825861Thanks OP.
>>265825464>>265825416>>265825371Underrated Sanji moment
>>265825583Sanji literally calls Zoro a hero here. Will Zoro ever show Sanji this level of secret respect?
>>265825230>it's just costume jewelryhow do you think nami would react to know it's the map to the treasure of one of the Rocks pirates, and luffy just casually gives it to fucking BUGGY?
>>265825464>>265825416>>265825371fuck, I missed sanji last thread in my peak list. I might have said 'mr prince' or him soloing the WG train was his peak, but this is a FANTASTIC fucking moment.He legitimately respects Zoro.
>>265825767pacing wise it feels a little weird pivoting immediately from Zoro's sacrifice to finishing up Brook's arc. I don't know why Oda thought Zoro should get so much focus in Thriller Bark when he already got a lot of attention throughout Water Seven.
>>265829203didn't he hold off both queen AND perospero?The problem with modern chopper is he had basically three moments to be a doctor in the entire timeskip: 1: with the 'sanji has a nosebleed just seeing women' gag that got old fucking IMMEDIATELY2: when he was helping treat the kids in punk hazard - and even that was cheapened by law just ope opeing the drugs out of them3: the moment at Wano.He also doesn't really get to fight at all anymore. He was never one of the main bruisers, but compare alabasta and skypiea, where he still got into dustups, to "I USE KUNG FU POINT AND ONLY KUNG FU POINT, AND ONLY STAY IN BRAIN POINT OTHERWISE"
>>265825861Thanks
reposting in this thread:Zoro's peak was in the last thread, with "NOTHING HAPPENED."What are your peak moments for each strawhat?For me:Luffy: either standing solo in front of all the admirals at marineford, or finally mastering imbued conquerer's hakiZoro: NOTHING HAPPENEDNami: Standing up to Ulti, or tagging in against Miss DoublefingerUsopp: His friend Sogeking igniting the flag at Enies LobbySanji: Either him keeping what Zoro did secret, or 'Mr. Prince'Chopper: Standing up to HogbackFranky: His fight with Senor PinkRobin: I WANT TO LIVE or her taking Sanji's place against Black MariaBrook: breaking Big Mom's photo of Mother Caramel, and telling her flat out she isn't going to kill himJimbe: Donating his blood to Luffy after his Hody fight
>>265825861Which song?
>>265847126Darude Sandstorm.
>>265825861THAT SONG of THAT MUSICIAN about THAT THING
>>265847126>>265847448
>>265841431Slam her head against a wall, then slam Luffy's head against the same wall even harder.
>>265825144Last time we him alive? I know he saves Moria at MF, but did we see him? I only recall a mention of 'Moria disappeared, couldn't finish him off'.
>>265838296Yea for a world that seemingly is going to dwarf our planet (given some island nations take a couple days to traverse) everyone on the sea is somehow using speedboats masquerading as sailing boats. I think the whole pre-TS is barely 6 months, there's a few 'a few days later/week later' moments during travel that gives some leeway. And the whole post-TS has been like 4~ months tops so far. They've been apart longer than together and that's a damn mistake.
>>265831186I still remember when it was 666. Time moves so fast.
>>265825583>franky leading the party in the backgroundlittle moments
>>265852190For me it's Usopp copying him
Bump...
>>2658536752
Believe in Luffy.
Believe in Bumpffy
>>265825191RATffy the HUNGRY
>>265835656Yeah it's always been one of my pet peeves with the series too. In my mind East Blue took months and the Grand Line at least a year. Makes much more sense both logistically and character development wise. Zoro going from not knowing who Luffy is to willing to die for him in a few months doesn't match his character very well for me.
>>265825464Man, I miss this kind of humor.
>>265859886But it's still in the manga.
>>265825508tee hee!
>>265841239I don't think he'll ever admit it to anyone
>>265835656Pretty much, when I was watching for the first time, it was Alabasta. The fansub took a hiatus to finish the Baroque Works fight in one go. Then I started watching Water 7 ate the same time. When Luffy vs. Usopp was happening, the first thing that I remember thinking about was the time frame. I was guessing at least one year of sailing, but then after the time skip when they confirmed that it was less than a year, it was just a huge disappointment. I understand what Oda was trying to do. I met someone for three months, and then we broke up. It's been almost 10 years, and those three months together were enough to remember for the rest of my life.But still kinda a lazy way to write it
>>265825767
Yohohoho Yo ho ho ho
We're almost there.
It's time!
Chapter 487 - That Song
>>265870426love how Brook's sunglasses resemble his later eyeholes. Though I've always had trouble imagining Brook's human-self as having the same voice as his skeleton-self, something between them doesn't quite match up
>>265870830>>265870869kind of crazy that this whole flashback happened decades before Roger's execution. They're not even looking for the One Piece or anything, they're just travelling the Grand Line for the fun of it
End of Chapter.Tomorrow: Song of Life
>>265871247Thanks, OP.
>>265870374Fuck you op!
>>265871247Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>265870970Robin's flashback wash heartrending but this is a whole different kind of horror.
>>265871247Thanks for the read, OP
Sweet, only 625 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
>>265871247Thank you OP.
>>265871168>>265871216it's insane how hard that flashback recontextualizes everything
>>265870970Brook.. had a hard life..
>>265870374Oh man, Iceberg's new secretary is so cute.
>>265870625YohohohoYohoho ho~YohohohoYohoho ho~
>>265870374I hope that suit-wearing Yagara Bull gets the job. He seems capable
>>265870374Gayberg
>>265871013Just think: Brook has been sailing utterly alone for 45 years, as a skeleton, trapped in the florian triangle, without a log pose, and with the corpses of all his best friends. Then, after 45 years, he finally sees someone...and he gets punked by Gecko Moria, his shadow stolen, and he gets utterly humiliated by zombie Ryuma.It's no fucking wonder he was so goddamn moved by Luffy showing up, feeding him, and immediately asking him to join his crew - let alone everyone risking their lives to help him.
>>265877198do you blame him, given the last sexy secretary he had?
>>265877198He choose the loli
>>265874296We are.So Close.To The Brand New Chapter!Start me Up
>>265876124It's the kind of thing that's easy to forget.
>>265870374That little girl just looks like a loli Tashigi.
>>265871247Thank you for posting.
>>265870374Iceberg is a stronger man than I am.
>>265870908Huh, now that you're pointing it out. Those guys are crazy.
>>265870970>>265871013>>265871046>>265871087Great pages to show how lonely it must have been. It's a wonder he didn't go insane and or jump into the ocean.
>>265871247Thank you OP.Brook is definitely my favorite crew with lots of great moments.
>>265876124They should apologize for what they said.
>>265839965Its clearly milk
>>265884155That brings to my mind a different kind of skullfuck and it greatly disturbs me.
>>265870529Wait a minute... that ship...
Gather up all of the crew
>>265871247Thanks for the dump like always OP.
>>265825861Thanks, OP!! Just watched this in the anime, itās so cash
>>265845060Based Wano-Enjoyer
>>265871247Thanks OP
>>265886447That poster here: Wano had so many cool aspects, but man, the issues just bog it down from being a truly great arc.
>>265871247Thanks
>>265870426ENTER
>>265870426The man who cucked Usopp...
>>265862389Not really.
>>265871168Is this the same illness Nami had that they went to Drum kingdom to treat?
Realistically, what are the chances One Piece will end in the next 2 years before the daily catches up. How will this thread change as it gets closer to the rest of the One Piece readers on /a/
>>265890160I don't know, it's up to Oda's whim. But I hope the ending will be satisfying. A lot of big names end up with garbage ending and I'm worried.>spoilerI hope it stays this way. It's comfy.
>>265889645doubtful. She got five-day illness from a mosquito on little garden. Dr. Kureha said it was a pre-historic disease, not just 'the plague'.
>>265890788Mentioning they got it from the jungle which is exactly what Kureha immediately jumped to as well as a cause for infection sounds like a common factor though
>>265890160Deeply unlikely. With Oda needing at least 1 break a month in order to not die, coupled with the regular holidays, we get less than 40 chapters a year. I'm gonna be generous and ballpark it wrapping within 150 chapters, but thats nearly 5 years when you think about it. But thats me being generous, I dont think it'll end withing 150,not by a longshot. Fucking Wano alone was 149 chapters good lord. I hope someone can reign him in a bit because that was fucking ridiculous
>>265870921>Brooks Crew needed 3 years to get to the triangle.>Luffys crew needed a few weeksSo was the sea harder back then?Is Roger a fraud for becoming pirate king in a easier time?
>>265891515Maybe the maps are easier to navigate with and a lot more accurate than back in the days?
>>265891515One side had Nami's tits the other didn't
>>265891830Yeah, it's pretty easy to get there when you have an absolute motorboat to work witha-pbtbpbtpptbptppbptbptppbptbptpbptbptpbptpbptbptpbpt

A song for the ages, one that truly represents the pirate life in this unique world.End of Chapter.Tomorrow: Eighth Person
>>265905698Thank you OP for the early OP.
>>265905698Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>265905583The anime did this part really well
>>265904631Those cigars got me thinking, was Smoker potentially omitted from Enies Lobby because Oda couldn't see him allowing Galley-La and the Frankies to leave without a bounty.
>>265904758Grim
>>265905698Thanks for the read, OP
>>265904758Goddamn, Oda has a fucked up imagination.>>265904831And then immediately there's a funny gag.>>265905698Thanks, OP.
>>265904677I like that pre-death Brook was shown as energetic, but still emotionally grounded in his actions and demeanor. But now after years of loneliness he's developed strange and silly habits that stuck with him to this day. Shows just how much that isolation affected him.
>>265905698Fuck you op!
>>265904631Pauliebros.. we're gonna escape the debt collectors by joining the Straw Hats! Two more weeks!
>>265904758This is grim as fuck. Scenes with people having a delusion of everything being alright before being dragged back into reality always fuck me up.>>265905649>silencedamn..>>265908076Brook's honestly surprisingly well-adjusted for a man who's lived 50 years in complete isolation. I guess his promise to Laboon kept him somewhat grounded.
>>265904758https://youtu.be/zYV-qYeWPkk?si=o22Rgr-PJaOQ7dEq&t=209
>>265905420
>>265891515Log Ports need time to recharge. Remember, the charging-time for Little Garden was a whole year, the strawhats cheated.Speaking of which, Dorry and Broggy were already fighting during the events of this flashback. Funny that
>>265870374ToT
>>265871087I love Yorki
>>265871126must be tree fever
>>265905044>nobody's allowed to die until we finish the song;_;
>>265905539>>265905583>>265905649no matter how many times I read/watch it, this is soul crushing
Bump
>>265905698Thank you for posting.
>all these cutaways to literally every character and location from the story so far and still no Gin
>>265905698Thanks for the dump, like always, OP.
>>265905079>>265905125>>265905420>>265905480https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-HDsEtoeMYthis scene hits so fucking hard. Brook...had a hard life.and a hard unlife. YOHOHOHOHOHO!
>>265916192
>>265904990wow, this one hurts
>>265917030Man, I miss the fancy subtitles.
>>265917039We are.So Close.To The Brand New Chapter!Start me Up
>>265905649Bros...
>>265905698[Spoiler]Kinda sad that Oda put all the straw hats in the back burner after the time skip and Gave all attention to the supernovas and forgot about the crew.
>>265825043Thanks op
>>265905698Thanks OP
>>265825767Yep, one of the sadder moments in OP.>>265835656Yeah if we exclude travel time and only on screen adventure then it's probably less than 2-3 months traveling together until Sabaody.So they spent more time apart then being a crew with timeskip.
>>265835656I always mentally filled between islands with weeks of unremarkable, mindless sailing.
>>265904758That's some screwed up hallucination.
>>265905539>>265905583>>265905649Rumbarbros...
>>265905698Thanks as usual.
>>265924538I did the same until it was pointed out that the moon does provide a frame of reference for how long they're sailing
>>265925126Just pad clusters of 28 days, so it's still consistent.
>>265925126>moon cyclesDid Oda really put enough effort into that for it to make sense?
>>265926267That doesn't work for when they're on one island for multiple days, like Skypiea.t.moon anon>>265927979Yes, probably because he assumed that OP would end in a fairly reasonable amount of time.
>>265917030It is a pretty good pirate song to go out on, at least. Not enough repeating sections to be a proper shanty, but I can believe it being at celebrations and such.
>>265904946Brook would honestly be a great candidate for his own series. Him exploring the world, hitchhiking with different pirates to try to circle around back to Laboon, getting into shenanigans and moving on when the time's right. It's just that, something about them knowing Brook was going to come back is extra heartbreaking and would add even more survivor's guilt than usual, and I would love to see a character with that much baggage going out through the world.
>>265924538>>265925126>>265926267I like to think that this is when stuff that isn't specifically a cover-story happens. Like>>265555969and>>265595080and>>265709744
>>265905420>>265905480These 2 pages together are amazing.>>265905649Honestly there must've been tons of little tragedies like this on the Grand Line. If we ever get a serious spin off I just wanna see the stories of random pirates who couldn't make it.
>>265930888>I just wanna see the stories of random pirates who couldn't make itfor all we know that might be Luffy
>>265930927And what do you know, the next arc has exactly that kind of tragedy for him.
>>265930927Well either you give up and return to your hometown, killed or get absorbed into bigger pirates fleet, there's not much you can do.>>265931698How far the current Straw Hat fleet will fare in the new world?
>>265930888>All pirates searching for the treasure One Piece must brave the second half of the Grand Line. These wild and dangerous seas are know as the New World. Gold Roger and his crew were the only men to chart these waters and learn all the secrets they held. For the rest of the pirates in the world this has proven to be the end of the road. A graveyard of dreams. Now Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body became rubber after eating the Gum Gum Fruit, set sail into the New World with his faithful crew.
>>265924538same, that would be cool too. That way, they would be cooped up in the same place for weeks, sharing time together. This would explain the nakama bs
>>265835656This is Oda's biggest flaw as a writer and the time skip only made it more apparent.
>>265909298>picking a fight with OPI hope you got your hands on some devil fruit.
NOT SO FAST SAGEBEARD
>>265904899god, I'd be so nervous about accidentally hitting the wrong button and starting a new recording. I hope dials have like a backup-function or something
>>265904946You think we'll ever found out which pirates did them in? I know it was 50 years ago but Big Mom has been a pirate for longer than that.
>>265937532I don't think they have any relevance at all. Just a random pirate crew who ran into Brook's and decided they wanted their shit.I prefer it this way, not every pirate crew in the grand line needs to be important.
>>265936505HO HO HO, WHAT IS A PUNY ANON LIKE YOU GOING TO DO TO STOP ME?>t. sagebeard
>>265939354I'll show you!Bump..... 5!
>>265940588N-NANI!? THAT'S THE FORM OF THE GOD OF (You)S WORSHIPPED BY JANNIES ALL OVER THE WORLD.. Bumpka!
>>265941592Wow what a shitty asspull. Goddamit Bumpda!
Chapter 489 - Eighth Person
!!!
>>265905420>>265905480The fact that this is the only song with lyrics directly written by Oda tells me it will be quite important down the line
End of Chapter and the Thriller Bark Arc.Tomorrow: Arriving Again
>>265944210Wonder who Lola's mother is
>>265944355Thanks for the dump, OP. This is actually where I started to follow the weekly chapters and spoilers.. just in time for one of the most insane stretches in the series. Can't wait to reread.
>>265944355Thanks OP! Since the arc is over now I'll say it again; Thriller Bark is underrated as fuck.>>265944047Wait a second.. Since Moria took Thriller Bark into the New World with him, doesn't that mean he now has the bones of Brook's crewmates at his disposal? Can he make zombies with just skeletons?>>265944091>>265944120Very nice little moment.>>265944168Damn, Franky is so hard-boiled.>>265944210>Lola's mom is a pirateWonder if that will ever come up again. How many people actually correctly guessed who it was?
>>265943781KEKAROOOOOOOOO>>265943878IT'S TIME
>>265944210Is this the first mention of Pirate Empress Hancock?
>>265943984Adv CoO???
>>265944499Yes, someone on Arlong Park forums back then predicted she would be the last warlord as well. Sadly, the forum user died before we reached AL.
>>265944476>Damn, Franky is so hard-boiled.Right? what a lad, He politely declined while giving her a compliment rather than yell in surprise or ignoring the question altogether
>>265943984Brook's reunion with Laboon is probably the one SH dream I'm looking forward to coming true the most.
>>265944476>Since Moria took Thriller Bark into the New World with him, doesn't that mean he now has the bones of Brook's crewmates at his disposal? Can he make zombies with just skeletons?Did he? I don't remember that, it's not like he can find it in the middle of the ocean without something to track it
>>265944617You can see it anchored off the shore of Hachinosu when he invades BB's territory
>>265944591I am NOT ready for the avalanche of nostalgia-induced emotional wrecking balls Oda will unleash in the final arcs.Laboon and Brook, Robin and Saul, the SHs returning to their friends at home, the Redline getting destroyed, a return to Loguetown (prologue and epilogue), etc. Even if the seies fell off somewhat in post-ts, if they are as good as the Kuma flashback the tears won't stop.
>>265944168Dam Franky was super smooth here.
>>265944310Acebrosā¦
>>265944120RIP Tashigi's dream.>>265944210Nice name drop.>>265944355Thanks, OP.>>265944543:(
>>265944720Don't worry they fuckup in the sequel some years after the manga ends
>>265944355Thanks for the dump, like always, OP.
>>265944355Thanks for the read, OP
>>265944012>I was the leader of a battle convoy of that kingdomWhoa I donāt remember this.
>>265944210>my moms a pirateHoly fucking GODA. I always thought Lola being moms kid was a total retcon but I guess it was that it was before he came up with the food based naming convention.
>>265944355Thanks op
After reading the newest chapter, I just remembered a comment I made in an earlier thread.>>249775440 >>249776043 Oda 100% set it up for the fishmen to be humans that evolved to adapt to the global flooding.
>>265944355Thanks OP for the daily OP!
>>265825684>>265825730>>265825767so he visited laboon during the timeskip right?it would only make sense since he had 2 years to do it...
Sweet, only 624 plus some yet unreleased chapters to go
>>265950851We are.So Close.To The Brand New Chapter!Start me Up
>>265950240No, then he would've had to have come from the wrong way. He's gonna finish the Rumbar pirates' will properly and reach the end of the grand line to come back around like they promised.
>>265943948
>>265870731Crocus was the lighthouse keeper even 50 years ago?! How old is he?
>>265944210 was this vivre card ever used?
>>265944266So that was a plot point that went nowhere
>>265951551you know he could have just entered reverse mountain from literally any of the 4 directions and would have ended up coming from the correct way
>>265943835https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUVdmiLWEdwIan Sinclair is so fucking good as Brook.
>>265947721Which kingdom does he mean?
>>265952812yes. Nami is able to use it to control the Homies on Wholecake Island since it has Big Mom's energy attached to it.It's also what gets her an in as a friend with Chiffon.
>>265944447same. The first chapter I ever read as part of the weekly Jump was when they first fought the Flying Fish Pirates
>>265944355Thank you OP.
>>265953362>SpoilerOh yeah, that's right.Next arc is gonna be one of the funniest and most soul crushing (well, for newfags at least)
>>265944012I like the detail of brook's old fashioned self introduction, I mean not only was he already a pirate before joining the strawhats he is also literally 88 years old at this point>>265944210Double foreshadowing in the same page, truly a goda moment
>>265953288That kingdom.But this does make Kuro kinda justified in his paranoid because the Marine can track you even after 50 years.>>265944120RIP Zoro's sword. I thought he would get a new sword in Wano, but someone would forge a new sword for him instead of getting Oden's sword.
>>265955336>this does make Kuro kinda justified in his paranoidNo, Kuro's a complete fucking loser who got scared of the heat from just 15M, he was never cut out for shit.
>>265952935He never leaves the grand line
Must be strange to be a pirate and be born in the new world close to the end goal
>>265944210this where more cracks in one piece's quality started to appear, oda thinking he can just drop plot threads that wouldn't matter for years willy-nilly, so the story just evolves into a juggling box of mcguffins.
>>265835656The live action ironically will have to address that, it could be a neat idea to justify having the actors looking older, because the characters themselves would also age across their journey
>>265944210foreshadowing for the annoying sanji joke in FI
>>265955336> the Marine can track you even after 50 years.Anon, just because his bounty is still valid doesn't mean they know who he is, hell, it took them until post timeskip to realize he was the soul king.
Reviving something late, missed most of the last thread, sorry.>>265719996We don't yet know how Sengoku worked, we've seen gold mode once, no idea if he's awakened, or if his gold mode is that awakening.As for the general issue of being carried by a 'stronger' fruit I don't know yet. Within the story the elders explicitly go on about how nika-nika IS rubber, as a base property. The 'toonforce' (applying it to OTHERS) does seem to be a G5 bonus only. This just feeds into why they're only worried when it awakens. So the gears ARE toonforce logic applied to a rubber body. Just being a stretchy boy shouldn't let him shove air in and move it between bones for one.As for the 'I feel cheated' problem, for some people yea, that's going to happen. You don't jive with the twist even though post-TS had a number of mentions of 'this isn't how it should work' and because for over a decade people had let the whole G3/4 logic just werk. I feel the twist is okay but delivered so fucking clunky (this goes back to a few threads ago where people were arguing that talking about nika at FI would be too on the nose given we get luffy = joyboy already), fruits do not offer up their name magically, categorization systems are made up by people of the world, and we've seen a number of 'exceptions' before Luffy's own reveal.
>>265849564>Yea for a world that seemingly is going to dwarf our planetYeah, there seems to be something seriously wrong with the size of the planet in OP. During the canon cover story arc with Ace, he somehow gets to [Lulusia] near the Red Line and then makes it to Banero (near Water 7) 3 days BEFORE Luffy leaves. This is roughly 2.5 weeks after his introduction, and Arabasta seems to be halfway through Paradise, so it takes less than 10 days to travel 1/4th of the planet's circumference.
>>265958243>Just being a stretchy boy shouldn't let him shove air in and move it between bones for one.I've seen the theory that Luffy's using Life Return to accomplish parts of G2 and 3, given the way he revives after gorging like Kumadori did and can do what you said. Given the placement of Life Return with the Gears intro I find it completely reasonable.
>>265952874Feels like a scrapped idea, given how bad the relationship ended up I can't reconcile how at this point, this was a gesture of good faith, yet Lola is running away from her abusive tyrant mother and is basically throwing the SHs into a beating/death by association.
>>265944355Son of a bitch sat on the song for years? It really will play a role in the story. I'd rather more songs have been dropped into the story over time to obfuscate which ones (and how much) would be directly lore related. Kinda like in ASOFAI
>>265949245I've thought of the evolving thing a few times. But I saw it as more 'arrivals' who mutate (or do it via science) to fit the planets current configuration (in my idea they're fleeing some other planet and in waves land on OPs planetoid, some wage war, some just settle), it's why they can all interbreed, they are originally from the same place. Lunarians might be OGs, their wings 'work', skypieans descend from them, or are the next arrivals but their wings are purely cosmetic etc.As for the 'flood' I think it's probably the reverse. The centre of the planet is pushing the water up by making a void/hollow (or force field? Given what we saw, there's also the endless question of where all that water is going, same for EL), damaging the structure with mother flame level weapons are probably triggering something.
>>265825021Page 10
>>265961075No.
>>265944355Thank you OP
>>265959285I choose to believe Lola was super naive and straight up didn't how much her mom hated her
>>265958887what's Life Return again?
>>265931853They would get stomped at the very first island, unironically.
>>265944355It's very cute that in the direct translation Oda thought Binks' Sake couldn't catch on because of the word "sake," only to find a near perfect, alliterative translation for the word later which turned it into an international banger. Especially if the live action, by some miracle, manages to make it this far they really hit it out of the park. It could very well be in music books someday now. Especially if the song does actually has plot relevance.
>>265963332
How many people did Luffy say he wanted on his crew at the beginning of the manga again? Was it 12?
>>265962779Pretty sure this is literally confirmed in WCI
>>265963630They already took down 2 warlords and CP9, they're strong as fuck.
>>26596481210
>>265966059I guess it would be 10 crewmates + himself, so 11.
>>265956273we don't know thathe went on a concert tour for 2 years and could have left the grand line
>>265905420Yohoho, yohoho to you too bastard
>>265966691heh
