@kcity:
A friend showed me the anime, which was when Nami fought the assasin with the extending nails in Alabasta. Didn't like it at that point in time. Decided to watch it back later and couldn't stop watching till the end which was up till around the end of water 7. Read the manga from then on being impatient. Since then watched both the anime and read the manga as well.
Well, the final episode of the Water 7 arc (Episode 263) aired on the 30th of April, 2006.
The latest manga chapter at that point was Chapter 408, "Monster Vs. Kumadori".
So basically your first up to date chapter was somewhere around the climax of the Enies Lobby arc?

I was looking through the thread to see what Darth did, and I still don't get it. Thought, I noticed I posted twice in here, so you got my name in the first post twice in there too, Rob.
Darth (The massive Sakazuki fan) says that his first up to date chapter was the the one where Sakazuki was really revealed and centred around him.
So the question was whether Darth had picked his real first chapter or simply his favourite chapter lol.
I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Also, I've edited the first post so, as nature intended, there is now only one madriano in there.

496, Yarukiman mangrove, Its the chapter where they eat takoyaki at Hachis stand/boat, not sure when it was released, pretty sure it was early 2008 though.Due to this thread i decided to reread the chapter, only the second time i have, huge nostalgia trip, Its weird to think I've been reading it weekly for as long as i have, its really just part of my week now.
Cool, that's Chapter 496, "Yarukiman Mangrove", released on the 14th of April, 2008.

@Cochrane:
I caught up to One Piece exactly 19 chapters ago, chapter 735 during "Fujitoras Outlook".
So glad I found OP, restored my faith in manga when I used to be a Naruto junkie.
I very first got into OP about a year and a half ago actually… not sure what made me want to, I just randomly decided to pick it up. Then last year at around October I picked it up again after dropping it at around chapter 40 and was on a roll since. Caught up in March, finished on March 18th.
I'm a little confused here, buddy.
If you caught up on the 18th of March, then the latest chapter released would have been Chapter 741, "Usoland the Liar", when Usopp comes back to fight for the Tontatta against Trebol and Sugar.
Chapter 735 was released at the end of January.

@Eliskor:
I started early out when reading the huge Shonen Jump books each month. Though I ended my subscription to that after 3 or 4 years so for many years I went without One Piece. Then one of my friends was mentioning watching the One Piece anime (dub) so I asked him where he was watching it at. He gave me a link to the site he was using and so I began watching it.
I was enjoying it but had to take a break during Fish-Man Island because it just bored the heck out of me. I caught up finally around 2 weeks ago. The latest episode being my first one watching the day of its release. I also caught up on the manga. So I had been into it many years ago but had lost it for a very long time.
I'm now reading the manga each week and watching both dub and sub animes. I know it is overkill, but I enjoy the series that much. I also have the games Romance Dawn (it sucks though) and Unlimited World Red. I'm looking into getting more One Piece games.
Excellent, if you caught up two weeks ago then your first up to date chapter will have been Chapter 752, "Palm", released on the 7th of July, 2014.
As far as OP video games go, I've only ever had Unlimited Cruise for the Wii, and I loved it.

Excellent way to recall the chapter too lol.

@BarclayBull:
Started the anime in 03. The manga, shit, somewhere during EL. Used to read these on the "old ass" news groups, OP Manga V.2 on MSN and all that.Pages were really small XD
Do you remember every having any theories or initial thoughts on EL? That might help narrow it down to a few chapters.
