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...
@Baou:
I always kinda thought that him beings a tyrant/violent guy was part of the Rev's plan in order to attract the attention of the WG so they would ask Kuma to be a Shich.
To attract the attention of the WG, you just have to do something outrageous. No need to change your personality at all. Being a revolutionary doesn't stop him from being a violent guy.
Maybe vivrecards, he might have a shit ton in that book. He is a spy after all.
I think there was a theory which said this becuase bible and vivre are both spelled bibure in japanese.
When Aokiji first appeared he said Smoker had a message for Luffy, what was that message?
One day, everyone will understand that the Compass Birds are in fact the most important clue to the Void Century.
Has it ever been stated that DFS have to be battle oriented, is there a possibiltiy that there is a completely useless DF fruit out there, like for example a book I read where Alot of people had magic but some people had useless ones like turning a spot on a wall purprle
HOW COME LUFFY NEVER KILLS AN ENEMY?
ODA:ITS BECAUSE IN THAT ERA EVERYONE USES THEIR LIVES TO FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAMS. FOR AN ENEMY WHEN THEIR DREAM HAS BEEN SHATTERED,IT IS AS PAINFUL AS DEATH,I BELIEVE FOR A PIRATE NOT TO KILL AN ENEMY , IT'S GIVING THEM A SECOND CHANCE TO FIGHT FOR THEIR DREAMS.

According to Lucci, the chance to be weaker after the consumption of a Devil Fruit is extremely low. So he basically confirmed that there are indeed "useless" Devil Fruits out there.

IIRC, both Lucci and Crocodile said something along the lines of 'the effectiveness of devil fruits depending on the way you use them.
One Piece is a manga that is over-the-top even by mainstream shonen standards. I mean, this is the manga that gave us Blueno. There's plenty of leeway to come up with applications for even seemingly-useless devil fruits. For instance, building on the example you gave; suppose there was a DF that gave you the ability to change the color of the wall and by extension, other things. You should, in theory be able to use it on yourself. That leads to camouflage which leads to a variety of different uses like espionage or maybe even as an escape mechanism.
Ah, thanks for clearing that up, but your Avatar(jabra) just makes me think that you're not serious(not that I don't its the impression I get)
Another question, am I the only one who found Mr.3(wax guy) to be out of character in the impel down and somehow marineford arc, in contrast to his character at little garden. The MR.3 we met at Little garden would not have gone along with Buggy's antics or allowed buggy to be viewed as a badass by the inmates and possibly being viewed as his underling, ugh I dont know how to express this but Impel down Mr.3 did not show the cunning and intellect he showed in little garden, am I wrong?

That's because he wasn't controlling the situation like he was in Little Garden. He was in the crew of a War Lord back then setting up schemes and traps while no one was wise to him. Straw Hat Luffy was a nobody at that time so who was he going to fear? In Impel Down he was basically all alone with a broken spirit where the powers of many people far out weighed his own, he knew how deadly the jailers were. At that point all he could do was escape and just go with the flow.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

An excellent answer, I had not considered that before, thanks.
@Lazy:
Wouldn't bible be 'baiburu'?
It works either way, actually. baiburu is the more correct pronunciation, but saying biburu won't cause any confusion. And in this case, it's responsible for the translation differences among scanlation groups. Based on the properties of the cards, I'd prefer "Vivrecards" rather than "Biblecards", but the latter isn't incorrect either. It's based off of the context.
Is Alabasta with or against the world government?
With, otherwise they'd be in a great big pile of…
They are with the World Government as they attend the reverie, but they also have secrets against the WG like the Poneglyph or being allies with the Straw Hats.
Another dumb question, can Chopper communicate with aquatic animals. I remember he talked to a camel and a bird but, I don't ever remember him talking to a fish.
He can communicate with mammals I think.
and the south birds
and moving crabs
and those giant birds where kuma sent him
he actually did talk to one kind of fish, the king bulls in water seven
When Aokiji first appeared he said Smoker had a message for Luffy, what was that message?
we still don't know
I guess Chopper can talk with any animal that has some kind of brain activity. Which is why on Jaya, he could understand the South Bird, as it is probably a quite intelligent animal, but not insects, because they are, well, insects… Not able to think about anything. On the order hand, the South Bird gave orders to the insects, but I guess that was because they had some instinctive mutual understanding as they are all animals, while Chopper mentally is a human... Or something like that. Let's just say Chopper can probably talk to animals that actually want to convey something with their noises.
My question to the thread: Where is this picture from? http://www.mangareader.net/one-piece/618/18
its the cover to "Color Walk Shark"
Does Viz keep all the cool and unique laughs in their translation?

Certain laughs early in the series I think they didn't notice but now since the speed up they have been including them.

Thats good. The best laughs in the series are further in. I forgot who in the beginning had distinct laughs.
I'm certain Shahaha, is left out. But Eneru, Black Beard, Saul, Brook of course, these are all in. Don't remember Foxy though.
Anybody else excited at the hint Oda dropped about something big going down in the Marines? and the fact that he said he can't wait to draw it just has me excited because I am sure its something he has planned for awhile and its going to be awesome

In a recent SBS Oda mentioned that something big went down with the Marines and that he is excited to draw it

I'm wondering if while the Reverie goes on will that be a topic of discussion that will lead into it fully. If Reverie happens soon that is.

Something tells me that we'll know what this incident was before the Reverie, but the details will be brought up there. It's just like Oda to introduce a big element into the story, leave it hanging for a while and then revisit it later after a couple of chapters.

Like that "Duel at Banaro Island" and BAM!!!! we got Marineford war
This is a potential sbs question, but who took care of the lawn and mikan trees on the sunny during the 2 years? Probably Shaky herself, or some of the FFRiders.
Also, the lack of medical supplies, cola and food were both adressed by Chopper (Lacking blood), Usopp (getting barrels) and Sanji (Getting a lot of food).
Also, the furnitures that Nami and Robin bought 2 years ago, I guess that those were either stolen or recovered by the FFRiders.

That sounds PAST TENSE. Like it already happened and not like the strawhats are going somewhere marine related soon.
Like in the inbetween arcs we see some of the world changes and one of those is the effects of this BIG thing THAT WENT DOWN (again past tense)

I'm sure Kuma has a watering can feature he had installed before being completely tooken over since he knew this situation would come up.
Chopper really did make a mistake I think in that front. I mean you have two crew members who have unique blood form the rest of the crew and you don't have spare blood of theirs or that kind on hand. Of course then we get into FREEZING and STORING problems. When was Cola and food adressed? Didn't Sanji buy a ton of food before leaving shabondy and also didn't Usopp stock up on cola and franky as well before leaving? Or are you talking about upon returning from two years? Cause I would imagine that the fishman riders or hatchi might see the idea of eating that food as not a bad idea. I mean the strawhats were going to be gone for 2 years. Most food woudl go bad. And if they are protecting the ship, tehy would need to be near it, thus probably ate that food and drank that cola.
No comment on furniture, don't recall and furniture they bought. Guess I have ot go back and look at that.
I have a suspicion that every Straw Hat member has a different blood type, given that there are such blood types as "F" and "S".
One day, everyone will understand that the Compass Birds are in fact the most important clue to the Void Century.
I think Usopp's blood type will be G ar negative.
You get it? G ar Negative:lmao

That would just be stupid. If we have another arc that has say Zoro this time, since he always loses shit ton of blood, lose too much blood and chopper going crazy cause "no one has his type" I would be annoyed.
The ONLY reason Oda brought up this blood thing at all this arc was for story, racial purposes ONLY. It was not for suspense of "OMG, LUffy or Sanji might die without blood" It was only for to show of this law and the discrimination between humans and fishman, and then again to show it being broken. It had nothing to do with "omg, they might die" it was only for plot reasons.
Thus i see zero reason for this ever to be a situation again in the future.

And you took my comment completely out of context. I wasn't replying to any particular topic, nor did I mean that it would become a repeated issue.
No, it wouldn't be a problem in the future, as it wasn't a problem in the past. As much blood as Zoro has lost in previous battles, there would be little point in showing Chopper with blood packets sitting by his bedside every time he needed a blood transfusion. In fact, it gives an impression of weakness, something Zoro shouldn't be shown to have unless the significance of the situation arises enough (i.e. after the encounter with Kuma).
Rather, I meant my statement to have a capricious air to it. Like how their colors form a rainbow when collected, their blood types help identify among themselves. It's to show how diverse the crew is, yet how closely knit they are.
I see what your saying and wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being true, but was just saying I doubt the blood becomes anything more than a random SBS question now that has about as much importance as what nationality each strawhat represents, or their animal, or their favorite food, ect.
Zoro probably is an universal reccipient.
Usopp bought Soda, and Sanji food, I already commented about that.
The furniture is around Shabody when Nami and Robin were alone talking about the slavery of merfolk, around the time that Keimi got kidnaped.
That's it! The letter of the blood type corresponds to the number of transferable blood types! As in, an A-type would only take A, but may be the universal donor. Likewise, Z-type may be the universal recipient. (Yes, Zoro with blood type Z. What's wrong?)
…Believe it or not, I'm taking this with more solemnity than you'd expect. Also, I'll assume that the blood types of the others in the crew use one of the letters in their names... for no other reason than it can work out that way. (^o^)/
As nobody in the chapter thread seems to care, I'll ask here because I have a hard time seeing how I would be the only one bugged by this:
The Ryuugu soldiers knew that the candy factory was wrecked, so why did they give the last sweets to the banquet? It's not like the Straw Hats are craving candy. They're usually fine on meat and booze.
To me, it seems a bit like an Idiot Ball just to bring Big Mam into play.

the people in the castle who give them the food didn't know that, remember that only has passed like 3-4 hours since the factory has been destroyed, even the minister of the left didn't know it.
Besides luffy said in this chapter that those candies tastes so good that they put meat to shame
http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/64985431/10
Back in the tenth anniversary of One Piece, there was some talk about guy in eye-patch who would appear later on One Piece, but I don't remember anything else about it… Could someone lighten me up about it?
I think that was all there is to it, that eventually Oda would introduce us a pirate with an eyepatch.

This is the Neptune army we're talking about,the weakest,most incompetent law enforcement in the world.Can't even protect their own country.Why else do you expect?.

We know that they were bringing in food and such for the party, but maybe they already had that candy in the palace and that was all that was left.
Why doesn't the marine go to Raftel by using their sea stone ships to pass the Calm Belt? And isn't the place where the World Nobles live above the Red line? Can't one simply walk/run to the other side, and then be really close to Raftel? And couldn't Shiki just fly straight to Raftel? Must be some kind of special thing in the new world.

Apparently, there's some sort of trick to reach Raftel, or else people would have found One Piece a long time ago.
Oh, and there's also the Yonko.

True, but do you know how far the Yonko has travelled in the New World?
Edit: Why didn't Whitebeard, Vista and Marco's haki affect Akainu and Aokiji in the war?

Edit: Why didn't Whitebeard, Vista and Marco's haki affect Akainu and Aokiji in the war?
I don't think it matters how far they have travelled. Raftel is at the end of the New World, but it's most likely hidden or extremely difficult to access. The Yonko pretty much dominate the entire New World and have allies present everywhere, so trying to search for Raftel with the Yonko around doing the same thing is suicide.
About the war, Kuzan actually dodged Whitebeard's Haki attack by opening a hole in his ice body around Whitebeard's bisento, preventing WB's weapon from touching him. Marco and Vista's attack actually did hurt Sakazuki, but that doesn't stop him from regenerating the wound through his Logia powers (that's how I interpreted it, at least).
Edit: Does anybody know what happened to Splash and Splatter?
