On Chapter 500 WoopSlap will become the Pirate King because Duval kicked the StrawHats' ass.
Theories on chapter 500
-
-
I predict Chapter 500 will be right after 499 and lead directly into 501…
You heard it here first.
-
ALRIGHT~~!!!
So now that I see how the fight is going with Duval, I'm beginning to think that Chapter 500 will involve more of a character development landmark than a geographical landmark like the New World. Why? Because I think Duval is Dadan, as others have suggested before.
I cant believe my random baseless guess got this support haha.
As for how chapter 500 will be. I think that its not going to be a huge landmark simply because the story would feel rushed if they just dashed through Fishman Island. I can't see them doing that.

@Kaimei-Karasuhebi:
Just wait for the chapter
is it that hard?
we are talking about their erections rights?
-
You people do realize that Oda never actually meant for the series to reach 500 chapters, right? So odds are, this isn't like how he planned on chapter 100 being called "The Legend Begins", because he didn't plan on this chapter EXISTING. I'm willing to bet it's a normal chapter. Maybe they'll get to Fishman Island in it, but that would be more incidental then a special celebration of the 500th chapter. I don't think it will be celebrated at all, since the 10th anniversary was celebrated quite a bit last year.

He didn't plan it from the beginning, but it's been clear for quite a long time now that there was going to be one. I'm sure several years is long enough for him to think up something for chapter 500.

Have you ever written a story? I doubt it…
When you write a story, you have certain key events that you know need to happen along the way, but as you write you have the ability to add things, and sometimes you have to just flesh things out more. So Oda underestimated how much he would need to add... do you really think that he is so uncreative that he can't manage to make something important happen on Chapter 500? I mean, it was his decision to bring them to the Red Line in these last few chapters; forget what his initial "plan" was, he's a good author and that means he is good at adapting to situations.
-
I don't think anything special will happen.
But if I had to bet on something, maybe Luffy will run into Shanks and give him his hat back? That would be pretty epic.

I understand that, but since he wasn't planning things out for this chapter for a while, the story isn't at a point where something like crossing the Red Line will happen. I'd say the biggest thing that could realistically happen in chapter 500 is that they get to Fishman Island. Which would be pretty awesome, if it turns out to be a whole different world, like Skypiea was. Things like "crossing the Red Line" or "meeting Shanks" or "fighting Blackbeard" or "saving Ace" or anything else like that are just unrealistic expectations, based on where the story is now.

Who knows? Oda is godly at chaining things.
And there are still 6 chapters to go, everything are possible…
-
Oda must be delaying something special on Chapter 500, therefore he introduced Duval to waste some time.

To waste some time~~? Oh no, I don't think so. It's not a waste of time, it's just one of the most hilarous moments in the whole serie.
And chapter 500 will be the most terrific. Pretty good idea to have this contrast, it'll make the surprise more and more epic. -
Here is a thought. Oda mentioned at what was it Jump Fiesta? That something big was coming this year. (I think it was him) I would maybe guess that the Duval story will be over by 499 and in chapter 500 maybe Whitebeard and Shanks break into Impel Down to break out Ace? I could see that as being a huge event because its like basically declaring open war with the WG.
-
Whitebeard going to Impel Down to rescure Ace, maybe, but not in chapter 500. This would be too soon. There where pretty much "big events" lately (Whitebeard vs. Shanks (?), Blackbeard vs. Ace) … and why would Shanks try to rescure Ace?
btw: first time I actually write something in english …

btw: first time I actually write something in english …Both of those things happened about 60-70 chapters ago, it's not that long ago. Besides, the story should. . .ya know. . .get moving. I believe the SH's are definitely capable of being big players on the level of the folks in the New World. . .after all, not everyone and their mother defeats two of the Warlords, takes down a secret Government faction, and gets blamed for the destruction of an entire island.
We're due for some major shit to start happening. We've had plenty of build-up. Plenty.
-
Just think of what happened in all of the pass 100's chapters (100, 200, 300, etc) I bet something great will happen. Heres the list:
C 100: Dragon, and I think something w/ w/ Gol D Roger
C 200: Water Luffy (the key to beat Crocodile)
C 300: The end of a really long arc
C 400: using the Sea Train to cross to the other side (and the beginning of battle)
C 500: Probably new Shubikai (hopefully it would be Jimbei, or whatever you spell him).Or it could be something to do w/ pass some obtacle thing and finally getting to Fishman Island (I'm guessing its a 2 page spead, the last page, and maybe they'll put in something, like extras, which is what they did in DC)
-
Jedi master, bullshit.
Man yrandom numbers would do that as long as you look really hard to find such "important" things.
Let's take chapters with 23 f.e (23, 123, 223, 323, 423)
23 -Introduction of Usopp
123 - beats Mr. 3
223 - Introduction of Bellamy and Blackbeard (man I've been lucky so far Usopp and BB.. lol)
323 - Introduction of W7 and Galley-La (and CP9..) (similar to your end of a very long arc - start of a very long arc)
423 - The weakest one… All I can say is "Crew getting saved by kokoro"Still, a random numebr bringing such nice events..
-
BetterBetterNoMi, it's true that not every "hundred" is very special, but you must admit that there is a natural specialness about the number 500. It's halfway to 1000. We are at the Red Line, which is halfway around the Grand Line….
I'm really surprised at these posts recently, it's so cool to see people actually trust that Oda will make Ch. 500 special~!
-
Isn't Fishman Island supposedly around the halfway point into the GL…
So, for the current pacing with Duval, i'd guesstimate that we'll arrive at Fishman Island at chapter 500, unless Oda does an elsewhere, which I don't really see. -
Ok, maybe I should have changed 300 to something like, beating a really hard enemy, and basically finally hearing the golden bell, or whatever its called (I never that point in the manga, was it that chapter where they found the bell)? But I have to say, the most obvious that might happen in 500 is finally arriving to FI
Hopefully Oda will do some extra pages to it
-
Wolfpox, I actually am thinking he will do a special ch 500, I was commenting on the 200-300-400 comment which seemed unfitting to me.
-
I reckon… THE RETURN OF BUGGY THE CLOWN !!!
thatd be so awesome =D =D
-
Hmm…. with the Duval arc seeming to take up maybe one or twomore chapters, I'm almost positive 500 will be Fishman Island now.
-

If something big DOES happen in Chapter 500, I definitely agree. That's kind of how I see Duval, too. Somewhat as a waste of time/a joke.

Oh, no doubt.
As a matter of fact, a lot of people already sort of consider Ducal as "Filler" until we reach Chapter 500, and I think this last chapter has proven it.
Other than the Gaon Cannon, this last chapter didnt really move the story at all. We arent any closer to Fishman Island, and from the looks of it, I doubt we'll get there for the next 2 or 3 chapters. Although, I am glad that it is at least about Sanji (my favorite character). To be honest, I am convinced that Chapter 500 will be about Shanks or Ace/Whitebeard.
-
maybe chapter 500 will show luffy at fishman island knocking every creature he sees with his aura? And he has absolutely no idea how to control it LOL. And the crew panicks, etc. making the whole crew enemies of Fishman island,
just a thought LOL
-
Well at least this chapter started the shipping of SanjixCamie at least.
-
Well, for me, this chapter FINALLY shows us a use for Camie on the crew. That star freak said that mermaids, when they actually pay attention, are the fastest creatures in the ocean. With 4 anchors on board and the rest of the crew not to bright, it'd be helpful to have somebody who can fish them out of the sea. Plus, Camie can get them unlimited fish. That's two uses for Camie, not saying she is definitly joining, but the use is there.
-
Oda said at Jump Fiesta (I think) that something big was planned for this year. 500 would be a good point. I support the WB/shanks showing up (at least in a side story type thing) for this event. I believe they will ally and declare open war with the WG. Would be a huge event and have alot of ramifications.
-
Man, 5 more chapters until 500…! I'm so excited.
-
I wish people wouldn't call people like Duval and these arcs "filler". Filler doesn't exist in the source material, if you think something's a waste of time then just flat out say that.
-
My theory on what will be happen in Chapter 500 is the Strawhats meeting Dr. Vegapunk. Or like others have said the Strawhats reaching Fishman Island.
-
What about this: While traveling toward fishman Island, Luffy's Aura begins to cause everyone that is hostile or not his nakama to faint. Upon arriving to fishman Island Luffy begins a panic in the fishman population with his aura. Eventually word gets around to Shanks, who just happens to be taking it easy on the island, and teaches him how to control his new found ability.
sorry for the grammar.
-
whoo whoo whoo countdown time
gonna be big
blackbeard, whitebeard, red hair, gol d roger and everyone else will be there
-
I'm not so sure that Shanks would be just happening to take it easy on Fishman island, what with all the fuss surrounding Ace and Whitebeard when we last saw him
-

Filler – "Something, such as a news item, public-service message, or music, used to fill time in a radio or television presentation"
Just because something is canon, does not mean it isn't filler material
-
used to fill time in a radio or television
Is it appliable to writing as well? or only audioble/visible media?
And considering they need to save Hacchi to get Camie to show them the way to fishman island, and thus relevant to the plot, I don't think you can count it as filler anyway. You can't just remove the segment and still have the story make sense as you can with the filler in the anime.

Im pretty sure it applies to writing as well, those were only examples.
Also, I dont think he was referring to Caimie, just Duval (to which I'd agree, so far anyway).
I wouldn't be surprised if Caimie actually did join, she'd fit in perfectly. Also, Oda has had her planned out for a very, very long time. She's on the cover story of Chp. 200, along with Pappag and Hachi, and that was made back when Luffy was fighting Crocodile (the title of the Chapter is "Water Luffy". Link: http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/200/).
I like her, and the SH crew has been turning into a real sausage fest. Also, I know I had to misspell Caimie, sorry about that.
-
you dont know if its filler or not, it obviously looks like its not:
-Camie introduced
-Hatchi reintroduced
-Duval im thinking might have something to do with getting to fishman island
-Luffys aura
-Sunny's newly introduced cannons
-Sanjis wanted poster -
Yeah, you're right, it's all just speculation.
It just seems like Duval hasn't done anything except derail the plot. It's still early though, so who knows what can happen.
-
Caimie isn't gonna join. Let's look at the points.
Against:
She has no point in the crew. (Unless you want a lifeguard.)
She can't fight. (In fact, she can only be captured and save people from drowning.)
She hops around on a tail.
She wants to be a clothing designer.
She's happy with her current life.For:
She's female.Yep.
-
We'll be able to see the holy land. :E and oh yeah why would camie join? that's just a prediction for the dumb predictions thread. :P
-

AANT!
That's the wrong answer.
I never predicted that she'd join, I just said I would'nt be surprised and that I'd like it if she did. I didnt say she would.
-
Does anybody think chapter 500 is going to make it to Volume 52? It just doesn't seem like it would work out.
-
uhh chapter 500 will be the beginning of an amazing double arc(fishman-island and maryjoa) which will be called legendary and put all other arcs in his shadow….i have that feeling
-
@Don:

Hope you're right
I think in chapter 500 the SH will enter fishmen island.
I'm really exited what will happen. Mary Joa is near, we have these world nobles, other pirate crews, Jimbei and a bunch of marines.
This will be great. -
whitebeard crew rescues ace w/ the help of shanks. big battle between marines/wg and younkous occur.
-
Either they'll finally reach Fishman Island or Oda will reveal that big surprise he said he had in store for us this year.
