Well, at least Wano opens up the possibility of an arc giving us more on that "Water 7"-feel, if only because length-wise we really should expect +100 chapters. And maybe we'll even get 2 new crewmembers (Jinbe should be a given and maybe another one. But not Carrot ).

Regarding the anime, it came in parts to Germany. The first episodes were until the end of Alabasta and then Skypiea. About that time, I discovered scanlations online and switched to this. Let's say that Toei really fucked up the Anime lately. I hope - yeah, unrealistic, I know, but still - that one day we get a much better paced version of the anime kinda like Dragonball Kai to make up for 800+ or whatever episodes the anime as of now already has.

2005 is Water 7 times, indeed. I think I discovered this board around the time the chapters on the sea train came out. But I lurked and lurked (sometimes would lose interest in One Piece for a few years) and only decided that I would register myself 2 years ago.

I discovered One Piece itself on German TV though. A TV station broadcasted the anime since 2003. I guarantee you that around 90 % of German One Piece fans in their Twenties discovered One Piece this way. How was it for you in Portugal?

I'm very happy that someone thinks like me. Though I thought Enies Lobby to be a little bit weaker, Water 7 (together with Skypiea) represents, to this day, the pinnacle of what One Piece can achieve. The crew interactions, mstery, suspense, location, drama about Usopp and Robin were weaved together by Oda to create something unique. I hope he may be able to repeat something similiar in Wano.

You were already a fan at Water 7? That's cool! Believe it or not, I discovered this forum around 2005 and was (not always, but from time to time) a silent reader until I decided to register in 2016. The latest chapter was definitely cool. I mean seeing Teach again? Why do you think my nickname is Big Black Hole?

Oh and another thing:

Oh you lucky guy!

I know this may sound ignorant, but FC Porto is the thing that comes quickest to my mind when I think of this city.

So, how do you like the latest chapters?

City? I've from a small town in Bavaria. Never been to Dresden (or Portugal for that matter). I study elsewhere, though I'm not sure I'll follow through with this.

Where do you reside in Portugal?

Across the ocean's? We're on the same continent.

Talk about embarassment here! I just looked at the avatar and my brain subconsciously and instantly came to this conclusion...
I sincerely apologize. It's not like I didn't have female characters at some time as an avatr. I had a Nami avatar for a short time once.

Oh damn it, not a good start for our friendship. Please, don't crush me like Kaido did with Luffy...

Well, I already got the title of "Best New Member 2017" (and it still baffles me why), so I indeed seem to have some mysterious aura to me.

OK, enough with the poetic thing, thanks for your friend request Portugese girl.
