Why are people so obsessed with getting Chapter 1000 before the end of the year, anyway? It's pretty meaningless in the long run if it gets released in December 2020 or Janaury 2021. Odas health is way more important than meeting an arbitrary deadline for a chapter release.

I guess it was because with this chapter, he left an authors note proclaiming he wanted it done.
The only way it can be done now is 3 sets of 3 chapters at least (with 2 breaks in between; unless he does bigger batches of 4 or 5), because there are 11 more issues of Jump this year and 9 more chapters of One Piece to 1000.

Ok, I will grant you that he probably can't teleport the Emperors into the sea and have it done with.
But nothing stops him from teleporting alliance members to where they need to be. He just needs to replace them with random rocks or something.
Just like Luffy's haki has evolved to the point where he's busting out Gear 4 to beat low level opponents without any consequence to his haki, I expect Law to be nearly the same at this point.
I agree with you though, Law's abilities are genuinely too Overpowered for the manga itself. Which is a shame because Oda did a good job of making seemingly useless fruits awesome but couldn't manage to depict powerful fruits in a more realistic way.
In general, I dislike most of the hex abilities in OP for the reason you mention, but Law has been around long enough for us to have experienced his ability and see that it has been consistent without harming the story. We don't know the inner workings of his fruit to properly know its limitations and weaknesses, or why they exist, but they do and I'm fine with it.
Anyway, if Law were at the center of the raid right now, he could be helping more, yes, like teleporting the alliance around, but I don't know if it would make that much of a difference or if he couldn't be targeted by enemies to stop. More importantly, I don't know if the need for his immediate presence was predictable, so the plot provided a reasonable answer for why he entered Onigashima from the back.
Overall, Oda is also managing how he'll share screentime between characters, so delaying Law's entrance is a way to give more attention to other characters.

@O:
do we know how serious it is ?
Dude! I seriously thought there was gnat on my screen and tried to wipe it off before realizing it was your avatar. Well played

He had valid criticism, but I can't understand people who say they liked him.
I liked him for the same reasons I like Daz or count mario because they give decent argument to why they feel certain ways. He mostly kept it to the story element and discussing the manga. Monkey King/Zephos was a lot more abrassive, personal and insulting to people but seemed to be considered fine because he used to be worse on a previous account and since people agreed with his opinions being a dick to others was fine.

Do people think Jack will get a rematch with the minks once Kaido beat them up or is his potential return to fight someone else?
-
Marco vs Jack would be fine to me.

Whoever Jacku's final opponent will be, I consider it a given that he/she will be severely messed up as well - if only to highlight that the Ancient Zoan is favored in this specific back- and forth war scenario.
Zoro could be such a candidate, given that he keeps accumulating damage already and even went into the war with a massive handicap. Sanji also took some damage, but he had the decency to wipe his face after King crushed him into the wall.
-
I don't see the point in making it a Mink. The only Minks we were invested in to get their revenge was Inu and Neko. They achieved that, so they're good. The others straight up couldn't beat him even with Sulong, so there's nothing to see there anyhow.
-
Wait, I don't think Monkey King was a troll.
From what I remember, he was even a mod at some point.
Oh god no. Zeph has never been even close to being a mod.
Maybe for an april fools at best.

I think he had a red star or whatever

Maybe you're confusing it with another guy whose nickname is similar.

He did/still does have a red star, but that doesn't make him a mod.

I spotted him quite a lot of times in the American Politics thread this year btw.

Because it's chapter 1,000, people expect something special, and want it ASAP.

Aren't those mods?

I know the break was unfortunately timed and I seriously wish Oda well, but it's gonna huuuuurt if there's no Kaido content next chapter after a cliffhanger like that.

@Kaido:
…
Oh man, you should update your avatar now that the official coloring is out, looks way more hilarious in there.

Nah. Yellow are section mods, greens are global mods and greys are our cruelest overlords /admins. Reds are just people who have stuck around and distinguished themselves in some way. Usually by not being entirely terrible
Nope, just old people.
Listen to this old timer. He knows whats up.

I am old and undistinguished. Sounds quite badass

Yay, I’m not entirely terrible!

Hey, I'm not even a parent yet. I'm not ready to be treated like that!

Are we allowed to be entirely terrible after getting the red star? I'm still new at this business, you know.

The red star is hard to achieve. I’m still trying to find ways to achieve such success.

Hah, well I guess one of my goals in life is to get a Red Name now.
You don't have to answer this, but what does a user have to do to "distinguish themselves"?
Is it tied to being a prolific poster? Or is the criteria more abstract?

Well, can't say for the mods, but, in my case, I was just very active at the time, and (I guess) didn't get into trouble. I guess it's a matter of making yourself being noticed in a positive way. One day, they contacted me via PM, and that was that.

Can I have some sort of title? Please? XD
I'm a good boy.

I'd say it would be good to know where the FAQ / rules are. There is a description for every rank. :ninja:
–- Red; 1 Crimin Star: Senior - Members who have been around for a long time and/or earned the respect of the community and staff.

I'll just quote myself from the far away past of 2015.
Have a leftist lean, tote that fine line betwenn posting alot and not posting enough, make terrible jokes (Puns are okay too, just make sure you really go out of your way to make them obvious), don't bother wolfwood, learn and apply obscure forum in-jokes, occasionally write big walls of text, pick a non-manga sub-section and claim it as your new home.
These are all potentially viable things to do when one desires the entirely pointless honor of a red star.

The latest chapter of One Piece came out 4 days ago, 6 or so for those who read the earliest possible scans. I can't wait to see what this chapter thread will be like for the next two weeks if this is where we're already at.

You could just see it as a win
That's an impossible task for me… :ninja:
If we made exceptions for the Germans we'd have to make them for everyone.

Hey, I've stuck around and have not been entirely terrible. Haven't really distinguished myself, though… so maybe a Pink name?

I just logged in one morning and browsed for like 5 minutes before realizing something was different.
"Why is my name on the list of observers red?"

Well me neither. But I should have been by now, if you ask practically everyone around me…

I miss when this one star red was just an ugly maroon instead.

don't bother wolfwood
Je, I broke this one since day 1.

1+ point for charming Spanish laugh.
But one jeje can't fill the hole your wolfwood bothering left

I think you don't have to worry about that, there is no second thing like German humour, so it's OK. :ninja:

so we can expect english scans for next chapter arount Oct 16th? or is it the week after.
In other news, Trump has covid - wonder if he'll drink bleach to clean out his system.

How many chapters have we gotten in 2020 so far?

Well, your avatar does give that parent vibe.

I remember when it wasn't even a star, it was Arlong's flag but no one could actually tell because it was so small.

We should really crackdown on people who use avatars that don't represent them properly. Unless that avatar was chosen as a teenager and now it is too late to change. But everyone else should be made to use real to life avatars so we can best tell how to sort them into the most fitting box.

I never bothered to get an avatar for this forum, is this troublesome for me now? Or have I broken the system and will be seen as a savior?

I'm not really surprised that fights involving Beast Zoans are getting off-screened.
It has been hinted way back in Impel Down how durable awakened Zoans are.
I reckon the final matches will not be off-screened.
Wano isn't over yet.
Have some faith and pray for Oda's health.
