Wanting Oda to ever go full badass is like waiting for the sun to rise in the east.
(Psst, I think you mean rise in the west)

Guys and Girls, do you think the latest reveal about Ebisu and the Smile-DFs is somehow related to the lack of emotions the Germa Boys Show?
After all, the germa Boys and Sanji (and maybe Judge as well or not) have those ("DevilFruity") curls as eyebrows. But smiles have no curls at all, so maybe
there is no Connection at all. The germa Boys can still do lovey dovey faces like their brother.In hindsight, Otoko's cheerful behaviour (and laughing all the time) DID look weird, but until 942 one could have said "oh, that's just a quirk".
I'm more wondering if there's a connection between them and Kaido's Pleasures.
@uniaka:
Talking about least OP-ish, Zoro. At least law has giant teddy bear as first mate, Zoro is just Bleach manga.
He didn't start that way. And everyone once a while you see the human back. Not often. But sometimes.
Greg, Oda said in a "recent" interview that he would change the end of One Piece if it predicted by some fans. I was a bit surprised by that, I thought he was particularly attached to that end he had decided from chapter 1 and we know One Piece is remarquably coherent thanks to that big scenario he has in mind. So how did you feel about that decision ?
Basically what Robby said.
Zoro has been too rough these past few years. Even the VA cast has said so. It didn't help that he wore a freaking suit the entirety of DR (silly Kanjuro thing aside). In Wano at least Oda is seriously torturing him and playing with him like he used to. Not to mention dat smile when he spotted Luffy in the wastes.
There's changing the end, and then there's CHANGING the end.
Something like planning on Shiryu getting the diamond fruit so Zoro can surpass Mihawk, but then everyone guessing that for 10 years, leads to Shiryu getting the invisible fruit instead. That's a surprise, that's a change.
Something like "The One Piece is actually _____ that binds the world together" that he's had in mind since the very start, is much much less likely to change unless everyone starts guessing it.
There's also a difference between "The hyper obsessive fans figured it out" and "even the casual audience has figured it out and everyone knows it's coming." Like for instance, its generally considered on this board a given that Mihawk will no longer be Zoro's final fight for a whole variety of storytelling and emotional weight and climax reasons…. but thats just not something that is going to have occurred to the audience at large.
If the story was getting so obvious that we all knew the exact layout from here to the end, he'll mix it up. That may be why elements like IM and Rox are introduced, because the final showdown being with the Blackbeards has been setup and foreshadowed for so long now, and we're plowing through the emporers and the series is going into its third decade, so there's got to be some new wild cards along the way.
Wait he really changed Shiryu getting the clear clear fruit instead of the diamond diamond fruit because too many people perdicted it? Was that ever stated in an interview or something?

Yes. In the interview in your heart
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I’d vote for Sabo being least OPish, I just cant feel his character at all.
Kid Sabo was alright tho.
Goofy hat, missing teeth. It sorta worked
Wait he really changed Shiryu getting the clear clear fruit instead of the diamond diamond fruit because too many people perdicted it? Was that ever stated in an interview or something?
No, I was just using that as an example.
It's something the audience expects based on a reasonable line of thinking, that they've speculated on forever, that he would change in order to surprise them. But makes no real difference to the actual story so its an easy on the fly change to make.
Same with any character designs or power sets, that's the easy stuff to switch up. Like Kaku ate a banana devil fruit, but instead of getting a monkey zoan or something obvious, he turned into a giraffe. THat's a surprise twist.
Stuff he's had in mind from the getgo, like "Ace will die" or "One Piece is ___" is what it is and he's not likely to change those things. However, doing something like bringing in Sabo to alleviate Ace's death, is something he can do on the fly.
I liked Zoro's Dressrossa suit. :(

Hey Greg, the fire festival will take place during the night of the full moon and the alliance can utilize Sulong in the fight against Kaido. Does this transformation also extend to those who consumed a Zoan type Devil Fruit? Including the King of the Beasts? What about SMILE users?
Why does the transformation only work on animals and not all living beings? I wonder how Ener is doing.

It's race specific thing. Like how fishmen gets stronger in water and not all livng beings.
Chopper did not transform so no reason to assume a zoan user would and since Smile imitates Zoans not minks they also shouldn't transform.
Greg I just wrote a giant analysis/piece on WCI, just wondering what you would think of it/thoughts on it? (there alot and I just might repost it here as a thread)
Since a lot of OP-fans are gathered here, I'd like to share my newest piece of fanart with you guys and girls:
It's an old photograph of the Rocks-Crew (without their captain though, because he took the picture ).
[hide][/hide]
I also have a coloured version of that and if more than 5 different users request that coloured version, I will post it by the end of next week (I wanna do a wooden picture frame as well).

4-5 more to go :)
Weeks with a break can be hard, so I made that since Friday (would have done it earlier, but some other projects had to be drawn as well).
In case you might wonder, Lin Lin is pregnant on that photo (with the minister of Gelato, I guess), since she has been "permanently" pregnant from 50-10 yrs ago.

Great fanart! Good job
Hey greg do you see the fire festival failing? A youtuber I respect far more than others mr morj, made a video that said the strawhats winning in onigashima takes the wano citizens away from the actions and prevents them witnessing his defeats, where all other tyrants usually get exposed and beaten in view of the oppressed
What do you think?
@NamiRobinFrankyAce
Thanks a lot!

What do you think?
I kind of agree with him. Aside from him just doing his research and providing logical evidence and conclusions, he really follows Oda's patterns to a T. It would feel strange not to have the citizens involved, but then again it could be a situation where Orochi is defeated in the Flower Capital and Kaidou is defeated on Onigashima while being broadcasted to all of Wano (which we know is possible given Yasu's recent execution).
The thing I consider equally with the location is the length of the arc. We're only in Act II, and I don't see why Oda wouldn't do the Wano arc in V acts if that's the structure of Kabuki theater. So either they don't succeed during the Fire Festival, or there are other major losses first and the first festival IS the redemption and comeback at the end (contrary to what Morj says, I think that could also be a possibility, despite it not fitting with his point that the original plan or goal of an arc always fails first). There's also chapter length, since this arc is shaping up to be the longest of the series. There's really no telling how long it'll end up being.
That aside, Mr Morj is hands down the most comprehensive One Piece youtuber one could hope for. Super logical and actually backs up his claims with evidence from the manga, and not the anime.
I've read somewhere that Act 5 in the Kabuki theatre is mostly an epilogue so i imagine that the defeat of Orochi and Kaido will conclude Act 4 with all the aftermath happening in Act 5.

Catholic influencer.

I mean greg is a one piece youtuber.
Existing on youtube doesnt change the validity of your points,
This guy makes good videos and isnt a hot take artist or anything.
Heres the video where he brings up his key points on why the fire festival will fail
!
Can you sum it up? Cause there's no way I'm watching that, lol.
How many of us actually watch Greg's vids. I like to keep this hobby read-only. Videos aren't engaging.

I think we all should be immune to those kind of theories by now lol.
@Long:

It's not that youtube changes the validity and more like garbage theorist usually go to Youtube to get views with clickbaits.
Mr Morj is pretty damn decent and seems like he puts out videos with actual thoughts behind it rather than the usual anime youtuber garbage.
With that said, I also do think he avoids talking about Blackbeard is plenty of his videos and generally miss the void century, Will of D and how that relates to BB and the main plot of One Piece.
I urge you to stay open to the idea of me discussing One Piece on YouTube.

Well maybe a little offense.
Which character was Caribou based off?
Am I the only one who wants to know who Luffy's Grandmother is?
I mean Garp sure as hell ain't royalty! so some how, some way, Garp charmed a classy woman who was waaaaaaay out of his league, and who that woman is and what she saw in Garp is keeping me up at night
I've suspected for a long time now… But, Noda Skywalker must be Oda, right? RIGHT??

Garp is a cool guy,dont understimate him.
No one is out of Garp's league. He has a certain charm that surely attracts some rich noble ladies who got tired of their perfect posh little lives.
I've suspected for a long time now… But, Noda Skywalker must be Oda, right? RIGHT??
Nope, he's from Osaka.

1. Garp is handsome and manly af.
2. One of Luffy's grandparents has to be royalty? Is this a YouTube thing?
Is she supposed to be classy because Dragon is so different than Garp in his mannerisms?
2. One of Luffy's grandparents has to be royalty? Is this a YouTube thing?
yeah, luffy's grandma is from the devil gorilla demon gene royal bloodline, if he gets really angry, he can transform into devil mode gear 6 god luffy, SO THAT'S WHAT AWAKENING MEANS!
Nope, he's from Osaka.

I thought dragon was like Sabo, royalty from Goa, guess I was wrong
No big deal! I constantly make unintentional headcanon (^o^)
Just saying, Garp's sheer rugged manliness could make a princess swoon, especially if he saved her kingdom from pirates or something.
