Chapter 598, "2 Years Later" Discussion
-
-
Just some background for those who aren't familiar with Kenshin (for the entire fake strawhats being a homage to Kenshin theory)
Pictures in the spoiler below:
!
There's another reason for Luffy coming out with a response next chapter of "the real Monkey D. Luffy is a rubberman." Given that the anime is likely going to split off in a fashion similar to DBZ, you sort of have to have a "oh hey this is what makes Luffy special" type moment.
-
As I say… The only one I think will shown some little individual fight are Luffy vs Whoever will come from the marines and Sanji and Zoro against the 2 brother captains
-
god it's like a drug it is good to have OP back. So did mihawk teach zoro how to use a compass in the past 2 years thank god. Solid chapter I can't wait to see fake luffy foam at the mouth when luffy uses haki on him.
-
On point 1, I just assumed they were fashion. No relevance to anything ever.
Point 2, Nami seems to have summoned lightning clouds without taking out her Clima Tact. However, Usopp's ammunition hasn't gotten smaller imo. I don't see Kabuto either.
Point 3, it's not necessarily Haki. It's probably Luffy bumping into "Luffy" with casual speed, but he's strong enough not be nudged at all from "Luffy's" weight.
Point 4, the former Marineford is now G1. But with Luffy destroying the reputations of all 3 institutions on that triangle, pirates aren't intimidated by it anymore. I also think bounties are being inflated. A 55 million bounty at Jaya was enough for Bellamy to run Mock town. A 20 million bounty in the East Blue made Arlong the most fearsome man in the sea. Now, "Luffy" can casually shoot down a 55 million bounty with a pistol.
Keeping in mind that some of the highest bounties we have seen are Shichibukai former bounties, and assuming bounties having been inflating since long ago, Doflamingo, Kuma, and Moria must have performed feats more stunning than Luffy. Unless inflation is not continuous, and there have been deflation trends as well.
That got me to think that Doflamingo, Kuma, and Moria have built up their bounties slowly before becoming Shichibukai, and Hancock and Crocodile received large initial bounties and became Shichibukai immediately.
I think the bounties for the Supernova can also indicate big jumps and incremental rises. A nice round number like 300 million indicates a huge jump, whereas 315 million indicates smaller increments.
I believe that some bounties are exaggerated, as Smoker defeated a 50 million bounty, and then complained it was too high for the weakling.
I do agree somewhat with the inflation theory, however we have to remember that bounties don't judge strength but how much of a threat they are to the government
For example, Belamy might have the same amount bounty as the guy gunned down in SA but that doesn't mean he was stronger then Belamy, a DF user, it just means he has done more shit to piss off the government than Belamy had.
Another example is Kidd, he had a higher bounty than Luffy because he killed innocents and countless Marines making him more of a menace than Luffy was at the time…Hancock and Croc are two other examples, both have rather low bounties but that just means they only caused small scaled havoc because both are much stronger than there bounty's lead on..
Robin was given a 79 berry bounty as an 8 year old just because of her knowledge, she had 0 power at the time
No, I think that the pirates on SA right now are just cruel and they have killed innocents and Marines, like Kidd did, to earn their bounties...it doesn't reflect on their power at all
-
What's the chances a crowd of pirates/marines surrounds Luffy and he whacks them with that 'King's Haki' power thing?
-
Luffy wanted 10 nakamas and only have 8… but who knows... For some time I think anyone won't join cuz the spotlight will be now in the current SHs. Franky and Brook had any time to shine since their arcs
But if i remember correctly, he wanted 3 musicans, and i don't see another 2 musicans as candidates. Actually i feel the crew is a bit crowded. I often felt that splitting the spotlight evenly between all nakamas got harder after Franky and Brook joined.Don't misunderstand me, i love both and all the rest. But with so many chars to handle it's hard to give everyone the right spotlight, and thats something Oda handled better before, but was still okay in Ennies lobby and thriller bark. So i'am more hoping that oda gets all 8 handed right, instead of adding 2 more and make things more complicated.

Yeah, her strenght is worth 1 million berri.

Never read something about 3 musicians… Only that he wants one.
-
I feel that the general public in One Piece are retarded by our current world's standards. Whereas we have people who place extreme significance in minor detail in reality, the public in One Piece can't recognize that the Strawhat impostors look like forced cosplays of the real Strawhats.
-
Slowly Luffy's crew is becoming Roger's v 2.0

They don't know anything aside from the posters, and well, a lot can change in 2 years in this world, just look at Coby who had a bigger change in less than one year :ninja:
-
Would be fun for for Sanji if the first place they go after Shabondy is Ivankov's island :-D

He said he wanted a musician in his crew 3 times, not that he wanted 3 musicians.
Then the musician came in by surprise.

Anyone else love how the Straw Hat Fakers didn't even bother to make a fake Brook? Is this because they didn't care to or because no one knows that Brook has joined the straw hats?
Also, I laughed out loud when I saw Brook as the "Soul King".
-
I just saw the scanned spread of the new designs and Franky's shoulders are FUCKING HUGE, the left one says "37" so someone guessed right about franky having 37 somewhere on his body

And when I read "Soul King" the manga/Anime "Soul Eater" came to mind.

I thought of Bleach, seeing as just one chapter ago Super Aizen mentioned the Soul King.

No one knows that Brook is a Strawhat or at least in public it isn't known.

I believe its because they weren't aware that brook joined.
-
Oh just realized that it looks like we will get the reunion in 600. Next chapter will be complete annihilation by Luffy, probably more so than vs. Bellamy.
And I just saw that crude panel of the Robin impostor… CAN'T UNSEE.
-

No, Roger had several crewmembers, he even had young pirating apprentices in the crew (Shanks and Buggy).
-

There were CP agents stalking the real Robin, but they decided to nab the obviously false Robin instead…
Apparently, people have a difficult time trying to understand Luffy's character from video footage in the WB war, since they can't tell that the real Luffy doesn't use a gun, and has DF powers. Maybe the footage was horrible because too much was going on, and Buggy hogged the screen.
-

And now that you mention it.. what will happen when they see the "Soul King" in Straw Hat's crew? will he have a new bounty poster as "The Soul King" or just "Hummer Brooke"
-
damn it, the mangastream website keeps on messing up since bleach came out.
-

Could be misstranslation of my version (german one).
I found in chapter 94 when he talks to the doc in Arlong park, after he finished Arlong. The doc says that they need a shipdoc, while stiching up zoro.
He replies that he wants musicans first, more than one (thats the the german version)
but after searching the net i saw
that the english translation says one musican.Sometimes the german translation is a bit off, sometimes it the more correct one.
Dunno how the number 3 came in my mind.
-

I thought that was it. Outside of Thriller Bark, Brook was only involved in that altercation with the Tenryubuto…
-

I didn't mean the number of crewmembers, but their physical appearances, or are you going to tell me Zoro now with one eye less doesn't look like Rayleigh?

They don't know, otherwise Brook wouldn't be traveling around, making big shows without having to worry about the marines…
-

I think they'd go with "The Soul King" and then ad on some tag how he steals your soul with his music. LOL
-
Gotta say I absolutely love every one of these new character designs. Every single one of 'em. Except Luffy, he didn't get anything but a scar…
Always astounded me how the main character of a series full of characters with unique character designs is ball-bustingly plain and boring looking.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that One Piece is not real life, and if it were realistic like that the story wouldn't be any fun….In OP the "important: people (recurring characters) are either smart, funny, annoying, or strong (most of the time all of the above). If they don't fit in these categories then they are automatically stupid, meaningless fodder who hold no importance in the story and are best ignored..

Never trust the german translation… xD
-

That is only one member of the crew…
-

this should be expected from bleach,.
-

Well we don't know how many members Roger had, but Luffy always saying the same things and travelling through the same places like him and Zoro's new look is a start.
-
Put cigar in Zoro's mouth and he would have a Croc impersonation.
-

They messed up the bountys. But the dialouge between BB and Ace was much more accurate then what was found on the web.
So its a doubleedged sword.

Still… Seeong so many errors in them... I only trust Aohige's one most of the time

D: To Oda-sensei. Robin's "Cinco Fleur." Why does "Gorin" (Five Flowers) turn into "Cinco"? Couldn't you just say "Gorin-zaki" like the kanji do? What language is Robin's attack in? I wish you would just make all her attacks in the pattern of "_nko Fleur." P.N. Heita O: I see… So, because "Cinco" is so easy to mistake for "Chinko" (penis) you want me to just have her attack the "Chinko" instead. Now listen here, son. This is the beautiful, regal Nico Robin we're talking about here. Chinko? I mean, that's just... BRILLIANT. Didn't I mention the language sometime earlier? Oh well, it's Spanish. This is how it works.
1-->Uno, 2-->Dos, 3-->Tres, 4-->Cuatro, 5-->Cinco, 6-->Seis, 7-->Siete, 8-->Ocho, 9-->Nueve, 10-->Diez.
And that's how they count. Have you ever heard any of them before?And now we have Robin impostor with a cucumber…

GUYS ITS JUST A CUCUMBER GET OVER IT. anyone who takes it in any other form of meaning are horny nerdy lil kids who only knows how to jack off to pictures of nami.

Everybody still thinks that Chopper is the pet o' the group.

Horny? I sincerely hope nobody is turned on by it.

Or they are geniuses.
Or maybe if people are being "stupid" in your opinion, it would be best to ignore it? /hypocrite-ing
-
I still don't understand why Chopper thought the fakes were real. He is an animal, he should be able to remember the smell even if time has passed. If all else fails, Sanji and Zoro getting along should have been a big impostor tip off.
-
@Mono631:

You mean he ISN'T!?
-
@Dr.:

Of course not. Remember, he is the "emergency food supply". LOL

Chopper's just above Luffy in the order of Strawhat intelligence.

He thought Sogeking was a different person though,

Not true, I jerk off to pictures of panties.
