It’s illegal to take a lion to the movies.
It is a park rule violation to be in a public park with a sleeveless shirt.
No person who is a “tramp” or “vagrant” shall loiter in any park at any time.
It is a violation of city code to sell chicks or ducklings to a minor within 1 week of the Easter holiday.
It’s illegal to throw bales of hay from a second-story window within the city limits.
I for one am glad for their crackdown on sleaveless shirts and their horrific effect on society.
At this point I really want to see the rest of the Donquixote Family revealed and how Dressrosa will unravel. It seems like the world of One Piece is constantly changing and we're in for a big ride.
On that note, ultimately I'd like to see a ton of things but my secret want would have to be during the epic final battle between Straw Hats and Blackbeards, Franky fights San Juan Wolf using General Franky, Thousand Sunny Robo (Think a Megazord) with Mini-Merry Auxiliary robo! Make it happen Oda…
Oda's not getting younger and he has had a few health scares - would you rather the pace increased and you get an ending or the pace is stretched out and the possibilty of someone else having to finish his work should he pass away?
I dont expect thing to be faster or slower in general but the suitable one for each situation. Actually Oda health would be improved if he has not to try to force everything to be so exciting/fast pace. I remember someone talking about Oda getting stuck in Marineford mode where everything is so hectic and happening at the same time which boosts OP sale something like that. My guess is that Oda sensei got pressured to make thing look like that.
However; I think it is too hectic and each character/story got too less development. Slowing them down to Oda natural previous pace would be better for both reader and author.
It seems to me that the problem is that Oda has been having problems finding a balance lately in story telling. He seems to have a million ideas for his story and wants as much of it to be published as possible. As a result you have these multiple plot lines going on in Dressrosa. In order to make sure the arc doesn't last multiple years, it's fast paced. Compare this to arcs like Skypiea and Thriller Bark which dragged on ENDLESSLY. At least Marineford had the excuse of it being mostly battles Oda wanted to showcase along with Strong World being produced during the time of Impel Down/Marineford. Skypiea and TB were just paced very slowly.
Oda had some whatever infection and is pretty damn young.

I think you're right with the balance in the pace but the only arc i felt suffered from this was Fishman island. It went from slow to fast to slow again in the weirdest moments. Sometimes it felt draggy sometimes it felt rushed, i think Oda was trying to find a middle pace for the story but was having a hard time doing so. Punk Hazard was very well paced. In my opinion Dressrosa can't be nothing but fast paced because of the purpose of the arc.
I find this arc to be heveanly paced but i would've changed one of the character introduction chapters for an adventure.
I want the old storytelling with uber impact style!
I actually prefer this pace for the story. I've always enjoyed quicker paced story telling, especially later on in a series. If you think of One Piece as a whole (in terms of 1 big book) right now would be later on in the story, and I'd be really annoyed if it was going at a glacial pace. Those early chapters were introductory and setting up character interactions/the world. I'm sure when emotional things happen the pace will slow down to allow it. But, for now, it's better the way it's going, in my opinion. I'd honestly be really annoyed if Zoro was still searching for his sword, or Franky was just sitting there. Things are actually happening. It's the New World! It's dynamic! These factors are what keep One Piece being my favorite manga. The emotional appeal, battles, and general awe of Oda's creativity are all cool. But, most anime/manga just… drag and I start to not care and fade away. Same reason I stopped reading OP weekly during TB and Impel Down (Skypiea had finished halfwayish when I started, so it wasn't as bad).
@ Keo,
I feel that you're right in what you say. However one thing though, Impel Down didn't drag that much did it?? Not that I recall, at least..
And on the part where you say "it's the New World! it's dynamic!" yes this is completely true. I still hope though that Oda doesn't have the Straw Hats sail through the entire New World in one week, whereas Cavendish has been there for 3 years and he is still on Dressrosa right now.
i want Bon Clay again… i can never get enough of him since his first appearance. Okama Way

The reason why Cavendish is in Dressrosa( which we don't know how far it is) is because of a tournament. And he doesn't seems to seek for One Piece anyway and since no one can find Raftel you will probably see experience new world pirates everywhere. They have no reason to stay at one place after all.
presumably, this was said a 1000 times already, but I really want to see Roger's hole crew in 1 panel. I want to know if he had only 10-15 like the SH will most likely have or if he had a Whitebeardesque armada with hundreds of people (and fodder)

We saw a snap of the crew in VOLUME THREE lol. There seemed to be a bunch of random guys running around. Not a compact crew, but obviously nowhere near an armada.

Uhh, maybe it's just my personal feelings for Impel Down. It's one of my least liked arcs, honestly. As for your second comment though, I doubt it'll be one week. We actually have some semblance of time going on at the moment with Dressrosa/PH and from what I see they've already gotten this far in like… what 3 days? They did spend 2 years training to be fair. And thinking about it... they did the GL in less than a year, so...

And he doesn't seems to seek for One Piece anyway and since no one can find Raftel you will probably see experience new world pirates everywhere. They have no reason to stay at one place after all.
I agree with this as well. I also feel Roger went through the NW/GL rather quickly once he realized he was dying and decided to. We don't know how long it takes for the people who can actually manage to find Raftel (by whatever means that is).
After the battle of Ed War it still took Roger a year to find it, apparently.
We don't know how far Ed War is in the New World but even if it's at the far beginning it means that Roger took at least one year trying to get to it.
Also keo, no it wasn't even three days if I'm right. It was two days at most. I don't know if they spent a night in Fishman Island, I'm fairly sure they didn't. Then the only passing night was after Punk Hazard.
So in three or maybe two days the Tea Party of Big Mom will happen, and it will stir shit up. We don't know how long it will take after that for the SHs to fight Big Mom, but seeings as how a pissed Yonko is supposed to be like, really fuckin' bad, I don't know how long it will take before shit starts hitting the fan there.
Dressrosa won't take more than a day, probably. Unless the StrawHearts are forced to find shelter to carry on their plan the next day. I estimate one more night at most for this whole arc. After that in the Kaido storyline, we don't know how many more nights would pass until Kaido falls. It all depends on what Oda wants to do, which we cannot cope to imagine, as it's Oda. So that could take some time, but as I said, the chance of Big Mom interfering within days is rather big.
Just some indications of why I feel the coming few arcs might be in a short timespan within the One Piece universe. And yes I know, all the arcs take place within a day or so, but what I mean is that Grand Line in total took a few months, because of the rests and the sailing in between. This time in the New World, the Log only takes half a day to set, and until now shit has been in motion at a fast pace. Plus the islands seem pretty close to each other 'till now (White Strom couldnt have taken them that far, yet it made them skip the first row of islands. Smoker reached Punk Hazard pretty quickly so the first row of islands isn't far from PH. PH and Dressrosa are also close to each other, and Dressrosa and Green Bit are connected through a friggin' bridge).
Because of the two years timeskip I really wouldn't mind if the New World doesn't take as long as Grand Line to sail over. But it would be kinda ridiculous if they do it within one month or so. I would like to see like at least three months or something, if possible.
Not sure if I've posted it before, but I want someone in the crew to take on a mission control role. Could be new person or one of the smarter crew members. Doesn't have to replace their main role. I just want it to happen. Nami or Franky would be best choices.
Personally, as morbid as it may be, I would love to see Luffy vs. Ace. I see this happening after Luffy defeats Big Mam (making him a Yonkou), and encountering someone wanting to take out the weakest Yonkou (newest). He knows who Luffy is, and has a Devil Fruit that reanimates the dead. He decides to revive Ace, whom Luffy then has to fight.
I would love to see the emotion caused by the situation wherein Luffy has to kill his brother.
On another note, I want One Piece to end with Luffy's death. He is on the gallows, two swords ready to pierce him, and he begins stating Roger's final words, kickstarting a new generation of pirates.

I think Luffy fighting Ace could be great idea for movie (that will shows that Luffy has becoming stronger than Ace,like his promise) and I don't think it has to wait Luffy beating other yonkou (not like ace is as strong as yonkou)
But the problem is if it happened by reviving Ace,One Piece will looks like imitating other manga

If we take out a Yonkou in a large complicated group effort that weakens them and their forces over a time, with major help. I definitely don't think that makes you considered a Yonkou.
Blackbeard and his guys killed Whitebeard, but only at the very end of the war which Blackbeard sat out of.
And he only became considered a Yonkou when he took off into the New World and started conquering Whitebeard's old territory. When he actually filled the shoes.
So for instance, if we take down Kaidou after a huge complicated plot with Law, that will not make Luffy (or Law) Yonkou. It's not enough.

God no please, Naruto has been ruining character after character just like that.
Until mentioned, I never actually thought about the similarities between it and Naruto.

The title of Yonkou is not an official term, and is coined by pirates to refer to the strongest pirate captains in the New World. I assumed that by defeating a Yonkou, you were deemed more powerful than them, meaning that you would be considered one of the strongest pirates in the New World with them unintentionally resigning as Yonkou.

If this other person wanted to become a Yonkou by defeating a now Yonkou Luffy (assuming that's how it works), then what better way to defeat Luffy than by using someone that would be near impossible for him to kill, even if Luffy is stronger. I wasn't saying Ace was Yonkou level, just saying it'd be an easy way.

The problem here is, that if one of the Yonko is beaten by an alliance of 2-3 pirate captains, only AFTER being weakened in a long process, then who the fuck would be considered the new Yonko?
Then there's still like 3-4 captains around who are at the same level and combined their efforts. And if you'd just go ahead and name them all yonko, it wouldnt be the yonko anymore…. That's not how it works. After a Yonko is defeated, the first one to take up arms and claim the territory and prove to be the strongest (like blackbeard did. he didnt actually defeat a yonko, he just finished one) would be considered the new yonko.

This group of 2-3 pirates will be called by other title. Title that gives the proper relevance of what they did. "Yonko Killers" for example. It will be made just like the "SuperNova" and the "Worst generation" names were made (and in fact "Yonko" too).

I know it's not official. But it's not some world wrestling heavyweight title either. What you assume is already proven wrong in the series, Blackbeard was only started to be considered a Yonkou after his actions in New World. Not just from landing the killing blow on a severely wounded Whitebeard.

I agree. I think that in order to become a yonko, you have to do both: beating a yonko and, maybe even more important: you also should behave like one. Like claiming territories and providing respect. I see the yonkos as pirates with a lot of influence in their territory. Of course this is also a result of being strong, but as a pirate you could also just don't care about the people and just leave them alone instead of actually protecting them against other pirates (ofc in exchange for cakes…or candy). I think that's also the main reason why Luffy won't become a yonko. They're just too carefree. If people are in danger they always help, but they would never "sell" their protecting.

It's not an "official" title in an organization, but it has the recognition to make it a definable term of sorts. It was the Marines who introduced it, and the Elder Stars who most recently addressed it as an issue. In any case, this isn't directed at either of you but just in general, when it was discussed before the timeskip the Elder Stars spoke of Blackbeard's knowledge of the territory being what makes him the most likely candidate for filling the seat Whitebeard left. Power and influence.

You don't need to sell anything for protection, just like Luffy is about to lend fishman island his flag or just like fishman island king Is planning to put up the Strawhats pirate flag(which will scare any pirates that enters n sees the flag) but the SH's ain't n won't demand anything back for using their flag. And this how I see most of New world islands will act like, unlike in first half of Grandline the Strawhats saves an island, they party, the people there are thankful and that's it but in NW it will be Strawhats saves an island, the people party, they be thankful n then they will put up the SH's flag on their island for protection and Luffy demanding nothing in return for using his flag.
And if someone attack the island Luffy can send one crew member or one of his allies will go and beat whoever that is up(maybe Zoro, Franky, Sanji, Jimbie n his crew or Barto n his crew will be the ones to go and beat whoever that attacks Luffy territories cuz it's obvious Bart gonna be Luffy ally).
Thinking about it this could help Oda aswell cuz of to many Strawhats and no opponent for them to fight, like Franky who was left outside or Zoro n Sanji running around n beating up fodders in Punk hazard Oda can send one or two of em to go and protect one of their territories that's being attacked while Luffy continues his mission on whatever island his on(be like side missions for everyone just like in Dressrosa now which I love).
cuz it's obvious Bart gonna be Luffy ally
Luckily we're in the appropriate thread for this. "Things you would like to see in the Manga".
i would love to see sanji finally beating this because we all know anyway he'it's better and this rivabery is nothing but filler for bad chapters, and then ruffy could act manlier
i would love to see
Good start. Continue.
sanji finally beating this
This = what?
because we all know anyway
What do we know? Seriously.
he'it's better
Go to school.
and this rivabery is nothing but filler for bad chapters,
Or you know, comic relief. So what, did you mean Zoro or?
And again, go to school. rivabery doesn't equal rivalry.

I don't think they're gonna receive another nickname since everybody refers to them as the worst generation or the eye of the storm but Yonkou is one name that at least two of them will get, I don't see Luffy getting a Yonkou title though

C'mon bro, I think he meant that he would like to see Sanji beating the S*** out of a woman and Luffy being more like a captain (I don't know where this one came from though) Luffy always act like a captain when is needed so I personally don't have any problem with him being silly when things are not serious enough for him to step up
I would like to see Pandaman become a bounty hunter, chasing the Straw Hats from port to port, being chased in turn by the persistent Tomato Gang.
Since Ace changed so much because of Sabo's "death" and looking after Luffy, I think it might be interesting if Sabo went in the opposite direction: after being blown up, and later Ace's death, he goes from kind and sensible to a brutal fanatic. Someone who indiscriminately hates all people who support the WG, like a revolutionary Akainu. It could create some tension with Luffy (instead of being another straightforwardly good brother figure) if he tried to kill marines that Luffy likes, and help expand on the revolutionaries and their beliefs (and show some realistic concerns about revolutions.)
I would like to see Luffy Kill Mr. Pink.
Interaction between Garp and Dragon, and a flashback of Garp and Roger's first meeting….

dofla joining the alliance to defeat kaidou. i was hoping law to hide ceasar and ask dofla to join him as the only way to save his life from kaidou's wrath. it's unlikely now because of the last chapter.
I said it some years ago… I still want to see a former rival of Zeff, who will recognize Sanji Zeff's pupil... Maybe even the man who let Zeff retreat the GL/NW similar as Kaidou smashed Moriah's dream and crew.
Would be indeed interesting

What makes you think Zeff was made to retreat by anybody.
I don't think so to 100 %… That's why "maybe" but we still have no reason why Zeff left after all. It would just push the meeting between Sanji and this person more
If not, the fact won't change that Zeff for sure had some rivals, friends or whatever on his travel and it is somehow strange that no one really recognized Sanji for being his pupil... it could give Sanji a bit of character development plus it would give us a slight glimpse of Zeff and where he actually has been. GL or did he even was in the NW seeing as he was the first person in the manga speaking about GL being the "paradise"

I've never bought that Zeff's calling of GL paradise actually had anything to do with the later name.
Reread that part where Luffy quotes him. He's talking about it being a paradise because some people see it as a grand adventure like Luffy does.
The later Paradise was explained as being called that because the New World made it look nice by comparison.

We will see… knowing Oda I wouldn't be surprised if he meant it back than like ir... if not he easily can use it now.
Still even this has nothing to do with the main topic of my wish about Sanji actually meeting someone of Zeff's past
I'd like to see Luffy and Dragon meet in the future but, right now I want Block C to begin. :getlost:
I really need a Sanji/Tashigi fight, or at least a conversation between them. Or another woman in the New World, since I'm guessing that most who get to that point would want to be treated equally in a fight. How would Sanji deal with a girl who would order him to fight her seriously, and feel disrespected when he focused on her looks?
Also, these pirate alliances would make for interesting fights. Luffy+Law vs. Kid+Hawkins+Apoo would be something to see. I'm hoping at least to see a Luffy+Law combo against Kaidou, and if their abilities could be made to complement each other or combine.
