One thing I don't get: why the heck does everyone want the Foxy Pirates to play the Buggy Pirates? Buggy's crew already had their time in a cover arc and usually characters who had arcs don't appear again outside cameoes. (see CobyMeppo at the end of the Jango arc) While I like the idea of a new DBF cover story and could see a few members of the Foxy crew work as part of Buggy's circus (mostly Porsche and Pickles), I just can't imagine why they would appear in another cover story.

I still would like to see Kuro vs. Foxy. Kuro doesn't have any officers anymore (Jango deserted and Zoro killed the other two), so he's a good person to get some crew back in the DBF. Also, Shakushi vs. Noro Noro beam would be fun to watch.
-
Heso!
I want a CP9 cover story next or at least soon. Many other ideas like Foxy, Paulie, Perona, and Johnny and Yosaku would be good too. However I would like to know what was the ultimate fate of CP9 turned out to be. Anyway I rather miss Kaku, Lucci, Kalifa, and the others.
YES CP9, I miss you :(
A coverstory with the CP9 starting a new life ( similar to what baroque works tried) could be cool, they could start a zoo in the east blue or sth… -
What about..
Gin's Quest to become a Schichibukai! :D
Just think abou it..
1.-Gin's missadventures with Captain Krieg.
2.-The sudden fate of Krieg. Smashed by a Bazookaed Moria.
3.-Gin's sudden raise in the world of Piratecy.
4.-Gin meets Kaidou.
5.-Gin gets his ass kicked.
6.-Gin returns stronger than ever.
7.-WG Notices Gin and makes him a schichibukai to replace Moria.
8.-Gin leaves some flowers on Krieg's Thomb.OR…
Spandam getting beaten down by everyone in Impel Down would be also awesome, specially if the idiot tries something like allying with Crocodile's Gang...
-
As for Buggy/Foxy, I'd love it since they're two of my favorite villians. And just because someone has already had a coverstory already doesn't mean they won't be in one again (didn't notice Coby and Helmeppo in the Jango one until I looked at it again yesterday). Not to say anyone's definately going to star in one twice, but there's some chance out there.
Buggy or not, a Foxy cover story would be awesome.
One Piece is at the bottom of the Enies Lobby waterfall.
-
I myself would enjoy a Foxy vs Buggy just for the humor of it. However, I really sense either T-bone coming (he had alot of unused potential) or dare I say it? Sengoku's Goat.
-
Coins should get one.
Either that or join the Straw Hats.
-
Jerry and T-Bone become undercover detectives
I won't accept anything else
-
They could probably do one involving all of CP9; kinda like they did with Baroque Works…
I was really thinking Perona would be next though (after a chapters without a cover story).
-

Well barring any color spreads, we are guaranteed 8 "Straw Hats with Animals". Oda tradition between story arcs. (though we got an 8th the last couple times with Vivi and with "Merry's farewell", I think we'll finally get a Franky one this time around and just keep it 8) Then we'll see where the new mini-arc takes us.
-
thats a good idea but if it was true, wouldn't Oda have just let Pauly and the others fall in after the Buster call attack?
I thought as much myself. Perhaps because he's saving it for this ^_^
About that waterfall: for some reason the only characters I could see surviving that and leading to an arc are Spandam (fat chance he's getting an arc), Fukurou (he can sort of fly) and Kumadori (Life Return)…mostly because they're the only ones without DFs. (maybe Blueno could have just regained consciousness and just created a door out of the area but Luffy really smashed him good) The rest of CP9 might end up being harder to find with their possibility of drowning and being mostly DF users. But if it connects to Water 7...that's another problem. Unlike the hidden agents from the start of the governemnt arc, none of them really have ever been in W7 and will immediatley be spotted mostly by the Gallery La people who fought on Enies Lobby.
Where you see problem, I see possibilities! The very points you bring to light could be the basis for cover stories. How they survive an underwater river, sneaking around W7 to go somewhere else (this would also provide great cameo moments). It's all cool stuff.
I in no way think any of it will happen, but I'd be so happy if that's what did.
-
Ha! Next story arc will be Perona who was teleported to Kuleha's castle in the Kingdom of Sakura!
-
I'm guessing that they will unfortunetly revolve around Spandam. Then probably Foxy, then later in Fishman Island, we'll get a Perona story.
-
Considering that there is a possibility that Perona's story arc could be coming next due to the "Gedatsu example", I looked over some information regarding chapters and found both good and bad news in her favor.
-Good News: The turnover for the Gedatsu arc wasn't really that bad. Considering that it started in the midst of the Davy Back Fight (the arc after Skypiea), it immediately went from one arc to another with the just finished arc's character receiving it.
-Bad News: It took over fifty chapters (which is over a year in our time) to get from the moment Gedatsu starts falling to the start of his mini-arc. His fall begins in chp. 263 (the battle was the previous chapter but the falling starts here) and the mini arc begins in chp. 314. (this pretty much shows how really long certain parts of Skypiea was…and he did show up again during the "defeat screens" once Eneru was done)Perona's arc could still be next but the likelyhood doesn't look that good so far. But on the other hand, there is the turnover for the Buggy arc: he was bazooka'd by Luffy in chp. 20 and his mini-arc started in chp. 35...then again, it was the first one so he is a slight exception.
-
Isn't it way too early for a CP9 cover story?
We JUST had a Crocodile one and an Eneru one.
DBF seems more likely…
-
…I want to know what happend to ax morgan...
-
I think it is to early for perona-sama or the pigeon guy. I would like to see both in cover storys, but I think seeing Foxy doing Davy-Back-Fights against other villians would be great too.
-
What's with all the, "it's too early"?
There's no set time for anything in particular ^_^; It's been over a year that Lucci was defeated now. Not to mention we won't even be into the next mini-story until next year.
-
I was thinking Perona might get a side story at some point since she was teleported somewhere… and it would be about her making her zombie country.
-

Considering she can't create zombies, how would that go about happening? Besides, she basically just wants an overgrown zoo.
-
It's be nice to see a Water 7 and/or CP9 mini-arc due to popular demand, haha. But looking at past cover stories… it probably won't be for a while. I do really want to see Pauly and Kaku again though.
If I have to wait for Water 7, I definetly say Foxy ought to be next. Then again there may just be cover pictures of the SH for now.

You said it, he showed up during the "defeat screens". It's also possible he was banished to the clouds with all the other priests and started his fall there. We know how … unintelligent Gedatsu is, he maybe wandered over the clouds, when eventually Shura said to him: "Hey Gedatsu, you need solid ground under your feet!"
Then Gedatsu noticed he stood in the mid-air all the time and gravity did it's work. -

Heck if I know, but she's the only thriller bark character whom I could see having a cover story. Sort of like how Gedatsu was the only Skypiea character to have one (outside of Enel of course)
-

Yeah usually after a cover story is finished they have the whole "Strawhat member with an animal" theme. Although there's also a chance of having some of those "what are they doing now" covers.
-
I'm actually wondering if we'll see Brooke on a color spread too. Like we did Franky before he even joined.
-
Wait, Perona wants a zoo….
Kaku was told by Zoro to join a zoo....
:sideways:
-

Wow. Reading posts even on the last page must be out of fashion now.
THERE WILL BE AT LEAST 8 WEEKS OF CREW PICTURES
One thing that can be relied on is for Oda to do follow the basic pattern he's done since he started side-stories.
Shall I run through it again?
Between each story he will take the interim to do covers of each individual crew member with animals. Since we now have 8 crew members, this will take at least 8 weeks.
Then there's the possibility that he will draw Sunny as he once did for Merry.
Then there's the possibility that he will draw Vivi as he once did.
THEN after he finishes those, there's a chance he'll do the 'What are they up to now?' Last time he did 2. This time he may do none or maybe even more than that depending on whether or not certain characters will pop up or not during the course of the mini-arc.
Then we have the all important color spreads. Chances are we'll have at least one color spread before the year is out. Then we may even have one or two at the start of next year since JUMP tends to showcase its big guns around the holidays. Color spreads will delay the progress of the crew pictures.
THEN we have Oda's requisite breaks.
On top of THAT we have the 'double issue' hell coming up for Christmas and New Year's which is basically 4 weeks with only 2 issues released.
So any way you slice it, if you're expecting this story to start anytime before late January, you're a helluva optimist.
Wait, Perona wants a zoo….
Kaku was told by Zoro to join a zoo....
Best post/idea in the thread thus far. CP9 is a zoo.
-
Here's how I see it: if we go straight through the next eight "Straw Hats With Animals" without any breaks or color spreads or any additional characters, the soonest we'll get to the next mini-arc is early-mid December. (basically #1 is this week, so that would approximately be around the time of the Chirstmas double-issue if not before) But considering that OP does frequently get color pages, then we will probably have to wait until January for it.
-
-
without any breaks or color spreads or any additional characters
But that's near impossible. Since OP matured in popularity I don't know if Oda has ever gone 8 weeks without either a break or color spread.
-

Didn't say the possibility, just thought that if it just went straight without a color spread (which is probably null since the most popular like OP/Naruto/Bleach get color spreads every few weeks), then it would be eight weeks and that's that. (barring other pics) We're only up to week one of the latest animal cycle…and since next week is confirmed as no OP color pages (Neuro's the cover), then that's two...but I doubt it will keep going for six weeks after that.
-
Gotcha! Also Fire Fist brought up a glaring and embarassingly obvious hole in my evaluation.
Should TB wrap up within the next few weeks, it could be nine weeks of crew.
-
Definately would like to see a Foxy one. I don't want too much Buggy screen time b/c I'd like him to show up out of the (east) blue and confront the Mugiwaras again. I'm surprised no one has suggested Bellamy, even though I personally wouldn't be too interested in it.
-
I wouldn't mind a Foxy one if it crossed over into other more interesting characters from the past.
Otherwise a year of pure Foxy might drive me insane.

A year of Eneru made even less sense, particularly since it didn't get good until towards the end when he got to the Moon Temple. I think a year of Foxy and his crew shouldn't be that bad.
-
Did we have a Don Creek/Gin Cover story? I want to know what they have done all the time.
Everything would be okay except Foxy and Buggy… Sorry but I hate them^^ -

Perhaps you must be reminded of the (still) reigning Champion 42 Chapters of Hachi where NOTHING HAPPENED. At least there was payoff in the Ener story. Hachi's was like shoving a fork up your nostril.
-
I think you guys expect too much from cover stories, its just supposed to be fun, when it involves story elements, good, but if it doesn't so what, we still have the chapter to read.
-

The Hacchan mini-story was fun. We got to see more about life below the surface and more information about fishmen and mermen. The Eneru one was great by the end but before we just had Eneru randomly shocking everything including the Spaceys and the alien pirates. The only really good part before the temple was the Spacey origin and even that's further confused by what was in the temple.

6.-Gin returns stronger than ever.
7.-WG Notices Gin and makes him a schichibukai to replace Moria.
8.-Gin leaves some flowers on Krieg's Thomb.Thats a very interesting Cover Story, but I was also going to do something w/ Gin (he had so much potential in the early OP series) and i want him instead to come to the GL, and than later on the NW. It also shows stuff like pirates he fight, or training to be stronger. For one thing, I think one day Gin would definately return to OP, because it would be interesting to see in the end of the Cover Story for him, he find some kind of DF, but I don't know whats better, just showing what he transform to, or keep it a secret until he returns)?
Cover Story 2: T-Bone, and maybe the sea train crew, but I don't know what it would be about.
Cover Story 3: Maybe something like WB rise to greatness or something, maybe something like what made him become a pirate in the first place, or something like his early childhood (but I could see this one later on as some flashback arc, a little longer than the Robin one)

I agree. Hatchan's story was funny and all; Enel's was kinda awkward because of that flashback moment that almost took the entire series.

It isn't cool to give up your life for someone if you live and attack them later -
Well here's the thing.
Were you a OP fan during the run of the Hachi story? I have a feeling it's different reading that story in an evening on MSN Groups as opposed to 42+ weeks of the longest fetch-quest ever.
Anyway, I'm not arguing that Ener's wasn't weak, just that the length of it when reading and waiting week by week may be different from hitting it in one solid block.

Hachi wasn't as bad because, while it lasted for a while, there were actually interesting things that happened during that fetch quest that made it worth reading weekly. The Enel story was pure blandness up until the final parts.
-
Ace and Vivi travel to Sky Piea and get married. Gaimon is the minister, and Hatchi is Ace's best man. Then Moria resuects Vivi's mother, in zombie form, and they have an epic "nockdown drag-out" in the heavens.
That's the next coverstoy. Right after
Adventure~ -
Next cover story should be Foxy and Buggy Davy Back Fight, with Buggy winning.

^But Buggy NEVER wins!! =D
(except when Alvida saved him on the island)Buggy is the Yamcha' of Ichi Piece~

Go away. =D
Haven't read much of the topic but if this hasn't been said then I think Oimo and Kaashii's trip back to Elbaf is something that might be interesting to see or it could be unfathomably stupid, I don't know. Well hopefully it'll be interesting.
