It's clear cut.
The way Oda showed everything in the past few chapters.
And the way he had that literal strawhat panel.
Timeskip Predictions

I'd rather they jump right in, but I'd forgive it if we get a color spread of the new looks right off the bat.
-
I like the idea of when they use their newfound abilities and powers there is a small flashback then.
Might draw out the arc a little more then needed but would certainly add more flavour to the abilities. Rather then having either a montage at the start - it would be more meaningful.Kind of like when Zoro discovered what his master meant when trying to cut steel.

Thx for all the support guys.
lol, I read and understood everything you said, lets not act like your post was an intellectual hot spot. I just didn't bother dissecting it because what you're saying is fucking stupid/ludicrous, would be unbearably boring, especially after a four week break and would be completely unneccessary.
+I don't think anyones supporting you on this.
-
We aren't revisiting that Strawhat until an older hand picks it up again.
-
And that'll be at the end of a chapter.

i predict luffy is horrible at his training but lissens whenevr he's interested…. and that he finally uses the haki when he really needs to in NW..like he suddenly remember some thing rayleigh said or made him do and .. abra cadabra ....we have a haki hero

It's actually quite the opposite lol. Hidden in the code. Random capital letters. It's quite easy to spot.
Also yes.

Luffy will be the best at all the Haki just because he picks things up intuitively. Thus, I wouldn't put it past Luffy to easily get to Vice-Admiral or above level.

I am astounded at the level of incompetence found in this thread. All this celebration to mask the insecurities of staking your "reputations" on this. The signs point toward nothing significant in R chapter 600, and to me it´s just pretty simple. At the very least T we will get to see 5 chapters to the reunion, and it´s gonna suck pretty hard if that's all we get, just due to the total ass-pull R that it´s gonna be to have all those mid fight flashbacks to new O distracting content about their previous training. It might seem L more interesting, but it will just detract from the intensity L of the fighting.

I disagree. Though they might seem to interrupt a bit, I doubt the fight they'll show them in will really matter. And intro fight, if you will.
And dude, One Piece isn't that serious, take it easy.

The only "signs" you give are that you personally would like a training arc. Give proof other than that.
I would agree about chapter 600 not necessarily needing to be special, but it's extremely clear that Oda is dividing the story in half. He has this four week vacation, coupled along with Luffy setting down the hat and saying he's on break on the last page.

I'll happily stake my reputation on 598 beginning 2 years later.
Your obsession with mid-fight flashbacks is humorous, Oda's never used them to explain moves before ever. Even at Enies Lobby when the crew was pulling power ups out of their ass. At most we'll have the character explaining their new move, like Luffy did with Gear Second.
-
Yeah, I can't imaging Oda taking a month long break if he were going to just continue where he left off and show everyone training.
-
He wouldn't, plus it would just make for about 15 more chapters of NOTHING and THEN to skip. As Airflow said, they'll reunite and show off what they learned without showing HOW they learned it. If we could put cash on this, I'd put it on then next chapter opening up after two years.
-
I didn't know Aldrich still posted on here.
-

I'm with you there. It was basically shoved into our faces that 598 will be after the timeskip, people saying it isn't are idiots.
Has Oda even shown any training before? To the best of my memory we've never seen any and so why would he put it somewhere which would completely disrupt the pace of the series. I could imagine if Oda did a flashback of when the crew members when they reunite, but even then I reckon it'd be less 'training' orientated and more a general outline of what they did, if you get what I mean.
-
but even then I reckon it'd be less 'training' orientated and more a general outline of what they did, if you get what I mean.
That's a fairly good idea of what'll happen. Not so much a training, but a small summary in a sense?
Such as a few panels of some characters just being like: "Man! What some great off screen studying I did!"

I believe Oda flashbacked to the creation of the clima-tact during Nami's alabasta fight. But that was just like four panels or so.
Anyways why would anyone really want to see mid arc training? Who is interesting in watching Chopper read some books, or seeing Sanji fight random newkama 37, or nami studying with her mentor or any of that stuff which is sure to be boring? The only stuff I am interested in is Robin's meeting with the revolutionaries and how Mihawk's training will pan out. But I doubt we will see much of it.
-
I voted for short timeskip with my previous nick.
shit
Should've gone for the long one
-

no-brainer.
Well but I think we won't get to see any strawhat in 598. Oda's probably just telling facts, changes in authority - things like that just cleanly reporting about the big pictures developement of the 2year skip.
These 4 weeks of a break are clearly used to figure out new character designs for the strawhats. None of our beloved pirates will look the same (remember naruto) and act the same talk the same, be the same.
Oda should very well be perfect by doing this because he doesn't wanna mess up the "new" characters by changing major things afterwards because he had not had enough time to work them out properly.So 4 WSJ Issues will very well work for me !
-

Yeah, like Zoro will be covered in sweat and some interaction between him, Mihawk, and Perona or something along them lines. But who knows what Oda will pull.
So, do you reckon Oda will detail the changes that have been happening in the New World, or do you think we'll gradually find out as the Strawhats go along? I personally don't know…

As stupid as I feel for not considering that, you're right. It'll most likely be their mentors being all: "Good job on all I threw at you!" Or like Chopper closing a book all: "Yay! Two years of reading!"
That's something I've been pondering on. I'm thinking he'll give a brief narration of the world and the major events will be learned.
-
Any appearance changes will likely be minor at best. A new hairstyle or a bit more muscular or stuff like that. It isn't like Naruto where the characters are still going through the main stages of puberty. THe youngest Strawhat is Chopper, who is 15, and based on what we've seen, only his true raindeer form seems to age at all, with his more commonly seen hybrid and human forms being the same as they were when he got the fruit
-
I am going to quote myself, here. It's been fun to bait the rookies. I R TROLL
I still don´t understand why a timeskip is that clear cut. I mean we could see the Strawhats trainingI and have the story progress at a different rate. If say every chapter deals with like 4 months of training for 4 strawhats, at that rate it would take 12 chapters, alternatingR between the two groups, to see them grow and gradually over the course of several chapters Tsee them grow into stronger versions of themselves.
Also, it would be a total ass-pull to get the inevitable flashback material from nowhere. I mean it´s pretty obvious that we'll get flashbacks to their training during their fightsR, but just having new out-of-the-blue information on their flashbacks would be to distracting and fuck up the rythm ofO the battles.
So even though we will advance to years, saying there will Lbe a 2 year timeskip is still getting ahead of ourselves. We may even see a full-fledged arc here, dealing with their training. I mean guys c'mon it´s a Shonen after Lall.

Personally, II am against a montage clip. People are saying that the StrawhatsR should be reunited by chapter 600. I don´t buy thatT. I think that three chapters would not Rget us to the point of their reunion, and frankly OI´d be a little dissapointed that the events leading upL to the reunion were cut out arbitrarily when we still need to see how they got out and how awesomeL they have gotten.
It's actually quite the opposite lol. Hidden in the code. Random capital letters. It's quite easy to spot.

I agree that there will be some design changes. But in Naruto, the characters went through puberty, and even then most of them looked pretty much the same (just taller.) The SHs are mainly adults - how much is say, Robin or Brook going to change? I definitely can't see their personalities changing. If any event was going to change Luffy, it was watching his brother die, and he's back to normal now.
The break seems have any number of reasons: design the New World, drum up sales, make the readers feel like two years have passed, it's a good stopping place and Oda wants a vacation, etc.
-

Oh God. I'm starting to think of the Bible when it's pretty much someone beget someone who beget someone who beget someone.
-
The way I think Oda is going to handle it is with small flashbacks whenever necessary, examples:
Zoro using the Lion Song: Remembers when his teacher tells him to hear the things
Nami with his new Tact in Alabasta: Remembers when Ussop made it.
Chopper using the Monster Point: Remembers Kureha telling him not to do it.In most mangas that usually the way to go, even Dragon Ball, which Oda loves by the way, showed very seldom how people learned new techniques (Goku learns the Kamehameha just by watching it). In Saint Seiya Pegasus uses new techniques every 3 chapters, and no one bothers to explain.
I think will be more a rescue Sunny mini Arc in which all of them appear one by one showing off some new ability they learned and saying hi after a really long time

I agree, there will be changes but nothing huge. Like in Dragonball how all the the redesigns were essentially the same design with a new hairstyle or a new outfit. I have no doubt that Luffy will wear the same style of vest, shorts, sandals and the strawhat he may just have a physique similar to aces.
-
I skipped 2 pages so excuse me if this has no relevance.
Why do people still think the SHs are going to reunite at 600. I think we all know what's going to happen then.
Say it with me now:Fishmen Island.
598: Oda will take us around the world, informing us of what has happened, and at the end well see Luffy picking up his hat being all 'It's time'
599:Reunion and they depart from SA.
600: Arrive at FI -
It's just a wild guess since it's a milestone chapter.
-
I never thought of that Oda was taking this break to redesign the characters. It's going to be awesome to see how they turn out.
-
I'm waiting for more posters to show up arguing against the occurred timeskip by bringing up Naruto or Death Note.
When neither of them went down because of a timeskip.
-
I forgot DN had a timeskip until this very instant.
-
I can't wait for them to reunite at chapter 600!
Also do you think that it might be a 24-25 page chapter since it's been a month or will it still be a 18 page chapter you think?
-
I want Luffy to have a burn scar on his chest from the blow Akainu gave him. Zoro's scar from Mihawk is about the only battle wound with a permanent mark. Having a scar from the same thing that killed his brother would also have a lot of significance.
Why do people still think the SHs are going to reunite at 600. I think we all know what's going to happen then.

I really doubt we're going to get there that fast. That sort of pacing would be strange. Also, we don't know yet what happened with Kuma and the Sunny. We might have a mini-arc where they show off some of their new powers first.
-
i think were going to see thing we have seen the past few chapters catch up with world then the last page of 600 reveal the crew
-
I reckon the next chapter that we get will show what has been happening in the world the last two years, kinda like a chapter to update the viewers. Either that or it will show Luffy arriving at the SA.
-
I think we'll see each person leaving their training or on route to SA, each getting maybe 4 pages or so. It could hint at what they've been doing and build up anticipation for the reunion. Then we could get an update on the world as a whole after they've gotten back together (or, if they do some big stunt like save Sunny, after they get into the news again.)
But it's all conjecture up until the chapter 600 reunion.
-
i think we need to change the poll to find out how many people think there will be
no montage
small montage
only flash backs later when needed
-
I could see 588 being a shown around the world thing, with the narratives, like explaining how Piracy is like crazy now, the Marines are super busy, maybe find out what in fact did happen with Sengoku's situation, did he get to resign. We'll hear word on the Supernovas and Blackbeard. Chapter will end with a look at the rock Luffy left his hat on, and his hand grabbing it.
599, We what happens with Shakky and the others. I want to think everything turned out all right, maybe Kuma was in fact good and left a message for Rayleigh, because It'd be kinda sad to think Kuma captured Shakky, and possibly the others 2 years ago, and Rayleigh finds out now. So I hope light is shed on that, end of chapter we see Luffy's new appearance.
600, the Strawhats arrive. We see(not in this particular order)
-Nami coming down on some sort of flying boat powered by wind knots
-Usopp coming on some sort of swimming or flying monster that he tamed from the Boin Archipelago
-Sanji coming on a super pink ship
-Robin either coming in on a Revolutionary ship with some soldiers from the army, or she learned to fly longer, and we see her coming in that way
-Franky coming in some Badass ship
-Chopper flying on a bird
-Brook either coming on a longarm ship, using his music skills to motivate the Longarm tribe to bring him there, or being found at a slave trade.
-And Zoro coming in the ship Mihawk used at Baratie, with Perona telling him to paddle it in the direction of the Archipelago, while he complains. -

600: Arrive at FIi think 598/599 will be the presentation of the "new mugiwaras" (just like 2 chapters was used to present their "tranings") with some info of the new world order.At chapter 600 the reunion.
