Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...
Wow, Alot of people are afraid of a character (Blackbeard) that they only seen once.
The Yami Fruit is good but not THAT good. Whitebeard would waste anyone with it!
At least we've seen the extent of Blackbeard's powers though. We don't know what Whitebeard is truly capable of yet.
True, we need to see what Whitebeard is capable of.
black beard wouldn't hunt luffy down if he thinks he could take WB in a fight i'd say WB would still pwn BB
Well I just saw 2 guys (WB, shanks) rub weapons together and spilt the sky, and another guy (Hawkeye's) twist his wrist and cut a ship no I mean galleon, up in 3 pieces, with a single sword swing.
Ive see a guy(Ao kiji) freeze the sea in a matter of sec's.
Doflamingo's about to attack Senguku the Boss of the marine.
BB is a Big Timer now, but I need to see more of his abilities to say that he is one of the top Big Bosses of the One piece world.
Maybe he is not at the moment… But I bet my ass that he will be one of the "Big Bosses".

Where was DonFlamingo about to attack Sengoku??? Sorry… could you please send me your source

Doflamingo was about to attack Sengoku with his DF or what eva his powers are.
If you look at the pic when he is stting on the table, you can see that his hand was in the same fashion that he controled the high ranked marines.
We all know that Doflamingo powers have something to do with his hands.
If Hawkeyes did not come in the room you would see why the marines and the Shichbukai are 2 conflicting groups.

Correction: You think he was about to attack sengoku. He could have been threatening him or it could be a habit and mean nothing.

The same can be said for Whitebeard and Mihawk. What's your point? Oh, wait, that's because they have some stupid title from Oda you put too much stock in.
The Yami Fruit is good but not THAT good. Whitebeard would waste anyone with it!
Probably. But if he punches Blackbeard and doesn't KO him, then he's gonna be in a world of hurt.

Exactly.
16 chars…

Yes, the titles are very important don't you think? Two of our MAIN characters in All of One Piece are trying to ACHIEVE these titles but you call them stupid…...They are at the top for a reason.

Whitebeard wins!

Luffy's dream isn't to be World's Strongest Man. It's to be Kaizoku-ou.
And if you can't accept that it doesn't matter who Zoro takes the World's Greatest Swordsman title from, then whatever. Mihawk is the man, woohoo. Big whoop.
Whitebeard wins!
Okay, Mihawk can't lose, but Whitebeard can. Give it up. Luffy's dream is not to be the World's Strongest. It's to be Pirate King, which Whitebeard IS NOT.
Correction: You think he was about to attack sengoku. He could have been threatening him or it could be a habit and mean nothing.
NO that Why Hawkeye's said 2 CONFLICTING groups.
Do you know what Conflicting means.
So I guess when Doflamingo hand he hands like that, its was just gesture, and had nothing to do with his DF powers.
and had no intentions to use his powers on Sengoku.
NO that Why Hawkeye's said 2 CONFLICTING groups.
Do you know what Conflicting means.
Let's look at the definition:
con·flict (kŏn'flĭkt') Pronunciation Key
n.
1. A state of open, often prolonged fighting; a battle or war.
2. A state of disharmony between incompatible or antithetical persons, ideas, or interests; a clash.
3. Psychology A psychic struggle, often unconscious, resulting from the opposition or simultaneous functioning of mutually exclusive impulses, desires, or tendencies.
4. Opposition between characters or forces in a work of drama or fiction, especially opposition that motivates or shapes the action of the plot.
Russia and the US are conflicting in ideals, beliefs, concepts. But we are ALLIES. We work together in time of war.
So I guess when Doflamingo hand he hands like that, its was just gesture, and had nothing to do with his DF powers.
and had no intentions to use his powers on Sengoku.
They may not like each other, and yes, Doflamingo was going to attack Sengoku. But if the Gorosei paid them to work together, they're allied to DO SO.

Becoming Pirate King is being considered the Strongest Man in One Piece World! He is the closest to One Piece you must conquer that land to obtain it! Zoro becoming World's Strongest Swordsman is beat Hawkeye's!
The title's that Oda gave these two characters are what Luffy and Zoro are trying to do period.

**Yes, the schichbukai are conflicting with the WG/Marines, but that doesn't mean that everything they do in each other's presence is trying to kick the other's ass.
DonFlamingo isn't stupid, why would he try and attack Sengoku knowing that the entire marine HQ and some of the WG would be sticking metal in his ass? Not only that, but his only reason for attacking him would be because Sengoku told him to stop doing something and calling him trash. Starting a war because of that is prety freakin' dumb.
So while it is possible he was gonna attack him (however unlickley) it is more likley he was just making that gesture out of habit or he was threatning Sengoku.
Also, you are basiccly saying that he didn't attack Sengoku because Mihawk arrived?
Your next post will probaley be a few words about Canon and percents and have nothing to do with the actual topic.**

Doflamingos strong and has a way out, and has a enough power to go against the Marines.
Laffite went up in the holy land undetected????????
you think doflamingo wont make it out?
Doflamingo know what he doing.

He was going to attack Sengoku, then Hawkeye's came in the room and Doflamingo turned his attention away from Sengoku.
Hawkeye's said the marines and the Shcihbukai are 2 CONFLICTING groups. Maybe Hawkeye's said that b/c they will start fighting.
Also, you are basiccly saying that he didn't attack Sengoku because Mihawk arrived?

Thank you

You're wrong, because if all it took to be Kaizoku-ou is to be the World's Strongest man, Whitebeard WOULD be Pirate King. But he's NOT.
Zoro's dream is achieved when he beats the World's Strongest Swordsman. If he lived 400 years ago, that'd probably be Norland. Now, it's Mihawk. Like I've said time and time again, who the Strongest Swordsman happens to be is irrelevant. It's just important Zoro defeats him.
I don't even care anymore, Mihawk is obviously your hero because all you care about is physical strength. Fine, more power to him.
The title's that Oda gave these two characters are what Luffy and Zoro are trying to do period.
Zoro is, Luffy isn't. That's not the title Luffy wants.

Gol D roger was the STRONGEST Pirate and now he is dead, that makes Whitebeard the Strongest and Closest to One Piece! Luffy is going to have to conquer Whitebeard to obtain One Piece and become the STRONGEST! Zoro has to defeat the Strongest SWordsman in the World. Whitebeard and Hawkeye's are walking DREAMS for Luffy and Zoro, for our main characters to achieve their dreams they have to go through the characters with the World TIITLE'S!!!!
That is my point.
Having seastone forever nullify BB wouldn't be too bad considering BB wants to have sex with his own powers, therefore making it a huge mental torment, and therefore making him rely on his already-powerful physical attacks. But something else will probably be in store.
Also, everyone keeps talking about how his powers suck things up. But what's the explanation for him being able to expel all the stuff he's sucked up? That just makes him a white hole as well, let alone going against the very essence of being gravity. In this sense it is more like magnetism since it attracts and repels.
Gol D roger was the STRONGEST Pirate and now he is dead, that makes Whitebeard the Strongest and Closest to One Piece! Luffy is going to have to conquer Whitebeard to obtain One Piece and become the STRONGEST! … they have to go through the characters with the World TIITLE'S!!!! ...
Roger and Whitebeard tied… so they can be considered equally strong I guess?! Isn´t it quite clear that Roger had some qualities beside physical/combat strength, that perhaps were equally or more important to be considered pirate king?
That was kinda a let-down. I wanted to see what everyone else was up to after that agonizing double break (last time we saw the crew was Christmas)
I did like Ace's fire-spear attack but other than that what a letdown. We know Blackbeard will be a major villain so he ain't dead and we know Oda can't kill so Ace ain't dead.
正直, kinda lame.
Is next week a double chapter???^^^^^
and when One piece yellow comes out?
No doubles or anything until Oda takes a break and 442 will be on schedule.
Yellow comes out in April.
April? It's also the same month I get my Driver's Lisence. Yay for me.

Thankz for the info.

You know… Don't take it as an attack or anything, but you really have strange tastes.

I don't take anything over the Interet as an attack 
As far as fights and whatnot though, I graduated the school of Dragon Ball a long time ago. Fights are nice and I usually look forward to the "final blow" not to mention the main heroes getting a chance to shine, but a battle (despite the claim at the end) where nobody can/will die and serves merely as an exhibition when I'm much more interested in where the crew is headed ie. the story, just doesn't interest me.
apologize for being off topic but what is the yellow book? Does it relate to the red and blue book?!
AH I still need to get my hands on the red and blue book…
Yes it does….....

Well the thing is it's not just a mere battle or a fanservicy exhibition, it works as a way to further cements Blackbeard as a force to be reckoned with, maybe even making him the main antagonist of the series, and it is hinted the result of this battle would have a major influence on the world.
Even for the storyline it is an event that is far more important than Robin squeezing Franky's balls or Usopp breaking down like a newborn.
It is probably a huge turning point in the story, so that's why I don't understand how you could find it lame. To each his own I guess.
I'd have to agree with Aldrich on that one.

Right, I mentioned the fact that it says 'something will change' but…besides from someone thinking Ace is dead (when he isn't....even if he writes it to make it seem like he is) and then taking an action based on that misconception, I can't see what other great sweeping effect this can have. So yes, I'm sure the repurcussions will be important but...I dunno if we needed to waste a chapter on something with an obvious result when we haven't seen the crew in a month.

I really didn't like that chapter either.
or Usopp breaking down like a newborn.
Already went down the road of why that was incredibly important and if you don't agree, that's your opinion.
It is probably a huge turning point in the story, so that's why I don't understand how you could find it lame. To each his own I guess.
Well that's the point. I don't see how this is a turning point.
Who didn't think this would be the outcome of the chapter?
Yeah okay we saw some flashy stuff. But given way back when, when we knew Blackbeard had the power to take out a country, has crew members insane enough to infiltrate a meeting of Marine Officials and Shichibukai, and a character that OP's initial badass Shanks (a man who can make people faint by walking by them) even warns literally the Strongest Man in the World about…..........you know Ace was gonna get his shit handed to him and if you didn't, read more shonen action comics.
What's the worst part? Ace isn't dead.
I was hoping he'd have taken 3/4 of the chapter for that event and then brought us back to speed with the crew.

Yeah, it was clear from the beginning that Ace would lose. When BB was introduced in Yaya, I was 100% sure that Ace would lose. In volume 24, Shanks wanted to talk with WB about them and it was already a hint that BB is very strong.
Ps: What does the number in you sig mean Greg. I remember it being higher number. Is it a countdown?
Indeed. To the second part of Lost Season 3.

You can see Lost in Japan. That's cool. Or do you have satellite?

I was thinking birthday, but that makes more sense, since I just saw a countdown for it earlier today.

Well if you think that because the result was obvious it wasn't worth showing the battle what do you think about every Luffy fight since the beginning then. It's not really the outcome that's important but how Oda leads us to it, and this chapter at least explained how Blackbeard's powers worked. It was worth it.
As for the repercussions… Besides giving Blackbeard a ticket into the Shichibukai, weakening Whitebeard's crew even more and probably shattering the balance of the world, yeah it probably won't have that much of an effect.
Well that's the point. I don't see how this is a turning point.
Who didn't think this would be the outcome of the chapter?
I'm not sure how the predictability of the outcome has anything to do with it being a turning point of the story. We all know Luffy's going to be the pirate king. It doesn't mean when it happens it won't be a huge turning point in the story of OP.
I was hoping he'd have taken 3/4 of the chapter for that event and then brought us back to speed with the crew.
Yeah, heaven forbid we get a glimpse of what happens between the real big dogs of the One Piece world before two more years of Sanji feuding with Zoro and Chopper believing Usopp's lies.
Well if you think that because the result was obvious it wasn't worth showing the battle what do you think about every Luffy fight since the beginning then.
Right, this is exactly why I said I like to see our main heroes shine. ie. the crew. I don't mind if it's them in the midst of their final battles. You're exactly right, their outcome is predetermined, but at least they're the people we follow closest and I don't mind their victories.
It's not really the outcome that's important but how Oda leads us to it, and this chapter at least explained how Blackbeard's powers worked.
Which is another point I wasn't crazy about. I would much rather have been left in suspense a la Croc or Ener.
Besides giving Blackbeard a ticket into the Shichibukai, weakening Whitebeard's crew even more and probably shattering the balance of the world, yeah it probably won't have that much of an effect.
But…..Ace isn't dead. And the balance of the world can never be shattered because the world has Luffy.
I'm not sure how the predictability of the outcome has anything to do with it being a turning point of the story.
We knew he'd lose so how has this changed the story? It hasn't turned or even veered. It's not something like say, the Gorousei coming way the fuck out of left field ^O^
Yeah, heaven forbid we get a glimpse of what happens between the real big dogs of the One Piece world before two more years of Sanji feuding with Zoro and Chopper believing Usopp's lies.
Do I detect some bitterness towards someone for holding an opinion?
But…..Ace isn't dead. And the balance of the world can never be shattered because the world has Luffy.
Ace doesn't need to be dead to give BB a Shichibukai spot. What's with the obsession about Ace not dying now? Actually, Ace not being dead opens up new possibilities for the rest of the story.

We knew he'd lose, but we weren't sure about what would come out of it. The last sentence of the chapter confirms it's a legendary event, this is not something you can gloss over to come back faster to the strawhats chit chatting on their brand new boat.

Whatever you say buddy.
Ace doesn't need to be dead to give BB a Shichibukai spot. What's with the obsession about Ace not dying now? Actually, Ace not being dead opens up new possibilities for the rest of the story.
Well I mean, we don't even know that he isn't one already.
Not only that but the only hint we have to work on thus far is him saying he wants to hand Luffy's body over to the Govt. But….no relation to Ace. And even if he does grab a spot...what exactly does that ensure? The Govt. can't touch him? Somehow with an ability like his it doesn't seem like it matters either way.

Right, because someone will mistake Ace for dead. Which he isn't. Which, back to my original comment: defeats the point of the chapter.
After such a long break I expected a head-spinning chapter the likes of which we've been subject to since the end of EL. But instead….we just got something on par with Naruto.
I dunno if we needed to waste a chapter on something with an obvious result when we haven't seen the crew in a month.
You know what, I really do think it is good that Oda did NOT show the SH crew. Their are other important things going on that could really shake the One Pieceverse up.
Shanks and Whitebeard will be next chapter, I doubt Luffy will be shown….......
Questions:
If you were wearing boxing gloves and hit BB, whould your DF powers be nullified?
If BB hits a logia user on their armour, does that nullify their powers? It must provide protection, though, yes?
Not sure if the manga was ever supposed to get that technical, but the development of this power seems to necessitate it being so. I thought Foxy's power was probably the most dangerous, so would that be nullified by Yami Yami powers?
Can't wait for the next chapter!
I hope we get to see what happen between Shanks and The Whitebeard, next chapter, or get to see other big timers get some character development,Like Kuma, Doflamingo, Jinbei, Red dog, Yellow Monkey, or the other 2 Yonkou.
Shanks and Whitebeard will be next chapter, I doubt Luffy will be shown….......
That's something I would certainly be interested in because we have no idea what could possibly happen there. But…more than two whole chapters outside a full-fledged character flashback without a main character? Has that even happened in OP before?

Well this will be his first because right now, Oda is in a 3 days ago flashback!!!Especially how Oda ended this chapter, something great is going to happen and I believe that is between Red-Hair and whitebeard.
That's something I would certainly be interested in because we have no idea what could possibly happen there. But…more than two whole chapters outside a full-fledged character flashback without a main character? Has that even happened in OP before?
I agree, the Whitebeard and Shanks fight we have no clue what going to happen, further more we might get more info out of Shanks and his past or Whitebeard and his past Fights with Rogers.
Hell Whitebeard might get Pwned.:shocked: 
Shanks might have a DF.
Shanks could be handling Whitebeard to the point Shanks tells Whitebeard to get serious and show me ya DF power.
Whitebeard might have a heart attack!
Infact Whitebeard might be like Shishio Makoto and can only fight for a limited amount of time. (cant wait for the next chapter)
since BB have the power to take out a town. Maybe he shld fight eneru or even dragon.
BTW the cover page of this series is about eneru on the moon with the space pirates. Do we get to see that>?
OP
