Would you count the conversation between Luffy, Ace and Sabo of which we still don't know what Luffy said? That might be the longest one in the series when it comes up again. Unless Oda takes us back to the conversation Luffy had with Shanks in chapter 1 and reveals more about it.
We could also count the moment in Whitebeard's flashback where he asked Roger what the "D" meant and it cut right at the moment Roger was going to explain it.

It was confirmed in One Piece Blue Deep: Characters World that he does, and given what he's demonstrated I'm not inclined to disagree with that.

I always thought that while having good info the Deep Blue date books had some info that was 100% confirmed.

Is Urouge into BDSM ?
-
I think Urouge is just more of the 'overtly religious person' archetype. Are you slightly mixing him up with Hidan? I do believe that he is a DF user, yeah.
Either way he is quite an interesting character, looking forward to see more of him in the future.
-
I still think it's a solid guess to think Urouge has the Karma Karma no Mi.

I think it is more likely to have a Pain Pain fruit or something along those lines. Damage fruit? Recover maybe? idk

Wasn't Blue Deep the book that stated Sabo is dead? And got some flags mixed up on characters?
-
Urouge probably has a devil fruit but then again people have some strong abilities without one.
@Katzztar:Wasn't Blue Deep the book that stated Sabo is dead? And got some flags mixed up on characters?
I believe so.

Essentially, it's a user's inner power being transformed into a shockwave. It's sort of the concept of the One-Inch Punch but taken up a whole notch or two.

Been rereading through Dressrosa with my Viz volumes and found a page that interested with Laws background (mangastream translation with link).
What was Law going to say about his family before he was cut off? The only guess that seems feasible is how his father was a doctor, and he was learning to become a doctor so perhaps it's just a thing where someone in the family becomes a doctor. That said, we had already seen Laws tragic story before and saw that he was learning to become a doctor, so perhaps there was going to be something more to it. We know he is a D so there could be something related to that. Perhaps I'm just overthinking it as well, since now we've gotten his backstory and his role is cemented there may not be much more going for him.

he was just saying that water d. is a "secret name" his family carries from generation to generation

Right before he was interrupted, law said "For generations my family has…". The secret name was Water, not the D.

I always found that part of Law's name to be interesting. Being a D was already enough for the whole theme of the burden that a name could bring you, but Oda decided to add in "Water" as well, which could be something completely unrelated. I know that Law's full name is meant to be a reference to two major Napoleonic battles, including the one where Bonaparte was defeated (Battle of Waterloo), but I doubt that Oda just suddenly wanted to focus on a name like Water being a curse all of a sudden. Despite a lot of his names being pirate/naval references, this is one of the only few times where it's actually remarked in the plot besides Teach's Blackbeard epithet. It's a pretty fascinating instance, and we might learn more about it if we get more insight on Law (his story isn't done yet, especially because of the Ope Ope's immortality technique not being relevant yet. I doubt that was brought up just for the sake of being forgotten immediately after Doflamingo fell).

while i agree there is some mystery regarding his name,just wanted to point out his name isn't actually a curse.it was told by many people(i think aohige did) that it is actually a specific chinese custom to have taboo names.these names aren't exactly cursed,but they are supposed to be only known by family and closed ones.
though i don't remember all the details,but it definitely wasn't something like a curse -

How will the Final War start?
Will Luffy declare, in an open world broadcast, his intention to fight? Or, will he get captured and with his burning Vivre card all his allies come to his aid? Will it parallel the Summit War, and Luffy along with Cry-oshi, Sea Kings, Noah make an underwater appearance? Where will it even be?: Mariejois or the location of one of the Ancient Weapons, the one Blackbeard will obtain. Do you think new emperors will rise after the fall of the old generation? Whom might they be, if there might be 4 replacements, Law being one of them for example.
Not sure if this was the right place to post.

I need some help. What interview or SBS was it where Oda said that he doesn't like when people call his characters weak?

Found it thanks to Sandman!

Do you know any theories about former admirals?
I mean, it's strange that we don't know anything about the previous admirals before Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru, but Sengoku. Kong was a fleet admiral, Garp never became an admiral, and Aokiji, Akainu nor Kizaru were admirals in that age, so what about the other two?
I think we'll see them in the future, what do you think?

Sengoku was an admiral during Chapter/Episode Zero, which took place during Roger's execution. Garp was even seen refusing a promotion to Admiral from Kong (who was the current Fleet Admiral) during that time. Also, I believe that Zephyr, the villain from One Piece: Film Z, is canon and should have been an Admiral around that time as well.

One admiral is Zephyr from the movie OP Film Z. The other one is probably vacant since Garp continuously refused the position.

Zephyr is non-canon, unless he gets mentioned sometime later in the manga.

Didn't a special manga chapter tied-into Film Z called One Piece Volume 1000 get released though? Not that it really changes much since it doesn't occur during a main arc lol.

Volume 1000 was just a promotional movie-based volume given to theatre goers.
The only real substantial information in there is Oda's detailed backstory on Zephyr, which is just backstory for the film itself. The rest is sketches of the movie designs, the Episode of Luffy special designs, and the anime filler arc designs.
If Zephyr appears sometime in the actual manga, flashback wise, or even if he gets a brief mention, then he can be considered canon. I don't count on that ever happening though.

All true. Although there is a SLIGHT chance that something related to Zephyr's backstory can be mentioned if we hear about or see Weevil's past, since he's the only candidate to be the Warlord that massacred his division and cut off his arm. But yeah, I doubt that ever happening.

Also, I believe that Zephyr, the villain from One Piece: Film Z, is canon and should have been an Admiral around that time as well.
If I'm not mistaken, it's something like this:
36 years ago:
Zephyr was an admiral, probably Sengoku too, and the other was Kong or somebody else.
32 years ago:
Zephyr resigned to being admiral, so, maybe…
Sengoku, Kong and somebody else were admirals.
24 years ago: (Roger's execution)
Admirals:
Sengoku
Vacant
Somebody else
And Kong was the Fleet Admiral.
2 years ago:
Admirals: Kizaru, Akainu and Aokiji
Fleet Admiral: Sengoku
Now:
Admirals: Fujitora, Kizaru and Rokugyuu
Fleet Admiral: Akainu
So, even if we consider Zephyr as canon, at least, we don't know an admiral, do you think Oda will show us him sometime?
I mean, we don't know an admiral if the vacant post was the one that used to have Kong (24 years ago), if not, there was another one we don't know about him.
-
Eh, only if those Admiral ends up being relevant to main plot. So far, they definitely don't seem to have any major presences and role in the plot akin to Rayleigh or Sengoku in terms of pre- gen characters in the slightest. The only possibility I can ever see is if their forms of justice ended up adapting after their retirement and they join the Revolutionaries in terms of major factions whose top figures we barely know about (and Dragon surely has history with the World Government given his lineage with Garp, relationship with Sabo, and being dedicated to his dream enough to not care about Luffy). But there's no evidence so far supporting that be the case either.
Maybe it can be an SBS question one day, although I can't see Oda giving a truly serious answer and much depth for these characters (and that's assuming they won't one day be relevant to the main current story).
-
You know, no one ever said that there have to be a certain number of active Admirals at all times. It's been the case pre- and post-timeskip which nevertheless doesn't make it a rule.
-
Since there was a draft during the timeskip though, I think Akainu and the higher-ups would have tried to have there be more admirals if always having three was just a coincidence. And the fact that Oda keeps the number consistent both pre and post-timeskip makes it apparent that Oda, and thus the Marines, value having a specific set number of admirals. Also, they always keep the number of Warlords consistent as well even though there are plenty of pirates to consider for the job, as seen with how frequently they are either replaced or have their privilege taken.

I do believe the U.S. Navy has a set limit for four-star Admirals being active (four minimum, six maximum), so there is a precedent in real life for how he structures it, I suppose.

the shichibukai are a different cas though,since like yonko 7 is in their name(shichi).i don't know about the admirals.i think,at least from narrative perspective in the current timeline,there will always be 3 Admirals,but it is possible that it wasn't always the case.

I understand, but that still doesn't change that the number is completely arbitrary and that we have seen two generations of admirals in threes. It's just seven for the sake of being seven (although there might be historical relevance to that number in regards to pirates for all I know. Maybe the seven seas?). The past might be different, but that's depending on if past generations of admirals besides Kong and Sengoku are even relevant enough in the present story to acknowledge.
You know, maybe this would make for a decent SBS question for Oda.
-
I wondered that as well. It was stated that there are only 3 altogether after the timeskip as well, right? Otherwise you could interpret Doffy's statement that there are two new ones which weren't marines before at all together with those who arise from the marines (which not necessarily has to be only Kizaru).
So maybe you can explain it never being more than three with the Goroseis' obsession of keeping the balance.
Though, having more would perfectly fit in Akainu's way more aggressive approach.
-
This may seem a bit trivial,but i wonder if the bounty on sogeking is separate from the one on usopp.which really depends on if the marines know Sogeking=Usopp.i looked at all the bounties,and one thing i noticed is that the names rarely change.In Sogeking's bounty,usopp's name isn't mentioned at all and also his epithet changed.
another thing,i calculated the current total bounty of the crew:it's 1570 million(excluding Chopper's measly 100 beri).if you count Sogeking's 30 million,it makes the nice round figure if 1.6 billion.Coincidence or planned?:ninja:
though i agree i'm just probably overthinking things
but more importantly,do you think Sogeking is gonna make an appearance again? -
Of course he is coming back. As Soge-GOD.

I'm wondering if there will be another ellipse since the SHs have to grow up right ? I'm talking about their height. Aren't they small ? Aren't they suppose to look big like Shanks or any admirals ?

There is probably a reason of the very existence of the schichibukai. They always screw up and the WG seems to have no genuine reason to keep 'em, so
-It's for the sake of having cool things in the manga
-It's all part of a scheme planned by the gorosei. They actually are an offering to the gods (or some bullshit) and the sword guy from the gorosei is the real best swordsman, he'll kill Mihawk and so Zoro will have to kill the geezer. -

Most of the Straw Hats (except Franky who's almost 8 feet and Brook who's 9 feet) are as tall as normal humans. Shanks is also average height and Roger appeared to have been as well. Case in point is they don't need to be >10 feet tall to solidify themselves as powerful. It looks cooler, in fact, to depict average people going against and defeating giants, such as in this scene in Dressrosa:
-
I always seen powerful characters (eg: all Yonko except Shanks, most of the Shichibukai, Blackbeard's crew) being unnaturally tall as pure artistic license, but something connecting to Caesar's experiments and the possibility of giant blood is never out of the equation.

I know Cobby is not very tall but Shanks is merely twice taller.
Also, he managed to grow up somehow http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/1/32But anyway, I don't wan't Luffy to be like Brook, just taller. You know, it'd give him charisma and all.

Luffy's carried quite a bit of charisma in his scrawny 5 foot 9 body. As I said before, there's a greater effect when you see a David beating a Goliath, rather than just two huge guys brawling it out.
-
In that flashback of WB wasn't he average height/size? I ve always wondered why some characters are huge while others aren't. Cold just be Oda being Oda though.

The Yonkou are so powerful that the Marines in themselves simply aren't enough to contain them; the Government needed another force to keep the balance. This is what the Schichibukai are meant for. In case one goes rogue, the Government have some extra forces to distribute. It also greatly helps in picking off smaller time pirate crews; the Marines have their hands full enough already.
In due time when we see the Reverie, though, we will have to see what happens to them, because the Government has seen far too many abuses of the position to ignore.

Yeah, the schichibukai are helping the WG doing…. nothing.

The Shichibukai are based on privateers; they help the Marines deal with pirates by hopefully taking out ones they encounter. Plus they expand the Marines' power in situations like the Marineford War.
Their existence of course has several flaws, which has been displayed in the series for quite some time and is why Fujitora is doing something about it.

I know Cobby is not very tall but Shanks is merely twice taller.Not really. In the main panel he only looks huge because of dramatic perspective.
Look at the 5th panel down on the left side. That's Coby laying down inbetween Shanks and Akainu. Get a image editor, copy/flip him and you'll see they're only like a foot or so difference in size from Shanks.

Luffy probably isnt gonna be 20 feet tall EOS
