Morgan's the only one of the East Blue villains I'd really care to see again. Arlong's in second. Morgan's still got like business to finish with Helmeppo I'm sure. Kreig and Kuro never really did much for me.
Cover Story Theories and Discussion
-
-
Morgan does have business with Helmeppo, but why would he go to the Grand Line for that? Or Helmeppo going after him? Dunno, doesn't look like it's gonna happen to me.
Kuro hated being a pirate, he'd never go as far as the Grand Line.
Krieg wanted to go back to the Grand Line and Gin also said to Sanji they'd meet again someday on the seas If I'm not wrong, so I guess he is the only one who could actually end showing up, as Arlong is behind bars.
-
I Think Moriah is really dead. I mean, it was DoFlamingo along with some Pacifistas, I don't think Moriah could escape that. Nonetheless, seems like Oda will really show the entire "world" instead of focusing in one story only for the time being. So, Makino's son? With who? Though I dislike the idea and don't think it's too possible, I really can't help but point Luffy as the possible father.
but we don't know if he is dead or not he is beaten near death but he just simply vanishes, and that is left for the reader to decide what happened to him. if anything a cover story with moria would be great because i would also like to know what happened to him.
makinos child is possibly aces. as garp and dadan had to take care of ace when rodger died so will makino and possibly garp or dadan in this time, so ace can carry on the will of D., if not then it is probably shank's kid as everyone else says. and it couldn't possibly be luffy's because he was training for two years and doesn't really even know the first thing about sex or show attraction for women, as you could already tell with hancock.
-
If Gin doesn't show up again, I will learn Japanese fly to Nippon and cuss Oda out.
-
So it was Dadan, who's up next, Zoro's master, maybe?
-

I think it will be:
- Zoro's master
- Nojiko & Genzo
- The Usopp pirates, Merry and Kaya
- The Zeff and the other Baratie chefs
- Dolton and Kureha
- Vivi, Karoo, Cobra, Pell and Chaka
- Iceburg and the Franky Family
- Laboon and Crocus
Then we find out what the other news in the paper are.
-
I don't know if Oda will put Nami, Usopp then Sanji, prior to "number entries" or Usopp, Sanji and then Nami, as to the order of visited places. But we surely are gonna see'em XD
I just hope to see something about Smoker and such.

Then we find out what the other news in the paper are.
I'd also throw in Smoker & Tashigi, Shanks, Skypiea (no reason they can't hear the news from a traveler, that is how they found out about Norlands execution), and The Rolling Rock Pirates.

It's easy to keep on adding. Coby and Helmeppo, Trafalgar Law and his crew (Keeping in mind that Law decided he'd wait for Luffy), and maybe even Dragon and Ivankov.

Actually I thought it was going to be Usopp Pirates and Kaya - Zeff/Baratie and then Nojiko and Genzo.
But Dandan has sort of thrown that out - so it may be family related to the characters as they joined not when their family was shown. -
Last one will be Sabo :)
-
@Mr.:
I would like a magellan & hannybal cover story.
This X a thousand!
I'd love to see someone training Hannybal! Cover stories based on what happened over the timeskip would be awesome

About the Skypiea guys, maybe they could get the news, not sure but I mean, Weatheria was able to get them since Nami saw the newspaper to be able to see Luffy's tatoo, right?
-
That is a possibility, but Weatheria has some seriously advanced technology that enabled them to contact the Blue Sea. Skypiea on the other hand is still dependant on dial technology.
-
I think it will be:
- Zoro's master
- Nojiko & Genzo

Laboon and Crocus

Now I agree with this.
-
If Gin doesn't show up again, I will learn Japanese fly to Nippon and cuss Oda out.
Gin probly wont be in a cover story if he is still around instead he will show up in the new world.
-
Going by every possible group the SH crew encountered it would be:
Fuusha village
Mt. Colbo
Kojiro Dojo
Gaimon and pets
Kaya and Usopp pirates
Baratie
Cocoyashi village
Laboon & crocus -What if they recognize brook? That would be great.
Dorry & Broggy
Drum kingdom
Alabasta - toto and koza included
Cricket, mashira 7 shoju - really wanna see those guys again. Did they form a crew?
Skypeia?
Tonjit - did he catch up with friends?
Galley-la
lola and crew - wonder if they left thriller bark…
Magellan, Hannyabal, Sadi
CP9 - come on Oda, give us more CP9then in NW (unless Oda saves those appearances)
Smoker & tashigi
garp & sengoku
admirals
supernovas
shanks
Crocodile
WB pirates
supernovas (doubt we'll see them, there are a lot & they won't share a single page)
Blackbeard
Dragon & revolutionaries
mihawk
doflamingosurprises:
Sabo
Mr. 2
Moriaclearly, there a lot of people to cover.
-
Also could appear the citizens of orange town (the town when buggy fight luffy, would appear boodle and chou-chou)
and shelltown (morgan's and helmeppo's city, but only would appear the little girl called rika, her mom, and that marine called ripper)
But they are a few irrelevant characters, so they could not to appear.And if we add old enemies, there will be even more people to cover

I'd love to see old enemies just fuming. Maybe show Arlong, Kurrobi, & chew in prison. Gin (happy) and krieg (sulking), kuro, Morgan. Wapol is probably too rich and successful to care about pirates-I think. Maybe Spider Cafe.
Also forgot buggy and his crew (Mr. 3 included)
Oh and Coby/helmeppoTheres so many…
-
It will be awesome if they make filler episodes of these cover stories. It would be a good way to give the manga and anime more gap and using canon storylines..
-
If they don't they'll just be plain dumb, which they already are, but it can always go down even more, right?
-
I bet they're gonna use like, one episode for every two SHs, instead of around 4 per chapter.
-
I think they stopped using most of the cover stories because the audience were only interested in the straw hats.
Its too bad because some were just plain hilarious (Gedatsu, Ace, Jango and Fullbody).
-
I think they didn't use them simply because they are stupid. Hence they could even use the normal covers with animals to make interesting fillers, like "how did Sanji ended up side by side with a fox on a train station?" or something, I'm sure if they have imagination they could come up with something good, the same to that "oyabun" Luffy thing, wasn't cannon but wasn't fucking horrid in the point to make Luffy who just recently had beaten Lucci to miss a punch on a stupid low as fuck moron (although the final boss of that arc was kinda cool to fight, the arc itself was horrid and stupid to me).
If they would use the actual cover stories and normal covers they wouldn't have to add stupid and useless filler in the middle of cannon episodes to slow it down.
-
I am not too sure because they indeed used the straw hats seperation cover stories as fillers recently.
In any case, it is indeed dumb not to use cover stories as fillers.
Apart from that, I remember that we had the home's town and world reactions after W7. I think Oda is gonna show us more characters because cover stories don't take as much time to make.
-
If anything - they could probably use it as a set of 1-3 recap episodes depending how many were made. Like link them all together showing the introduction and 2 years later thing - although the forshadowing of Makino with a child would need direct information from Oda to ensure that it didn't set up any major Faux Pars
-
I'm not going to complain about every little thing here. As far as animating the cover stories. Hmm. If you don't like the anime than I don't really understand why you'd want to see it animated personally.
On the topic of the current one, it's going well enough. I don't know to where exactly it's going but that's to be expected.
-
Would that really be a worthy reveal for Sabo :getlost:
It was for Dragon in the corresponding "reactions around the world." Why not Sabo?
-

Just because I'm not a huge fan of the anime as I am with the manga I should not care for it's quality then? Makes so much sense.
-
True. The anime might not be all that, but if it can get cannon episodes instead of random fillers, I'd rather get cannon. I mean, if we get fillers, the "not that great" might go somewhat trashy, we don't want that.

people need to stop with these bullshit ideas that you can't complain about something, and that you should just not watch it, criticizing and critiquing shows is a good thing, otherwise you just mindlessly follow something and assume everything makes sense, much like what bleach fans do
so please don't come with the bullshit saying if you don't like it don't read/watch it, this philosophy has been ripped apart many times here, by many different people
-
See how topics tend to digress into unrelated matters?
Back on topic: Will we see Koshiro this week? I think it would be kinda nice if he was reading the newspaper to Kuina's grave or something like that. Lame? yes. Tearjerker? Yes.
-

I said if you don't like the anime than I don't understand why you'd want to see it animated. I don't think not animating the cover stories has anything to do with the anime's overall quality. It might be a nice luxory to have though.

It's a good thing I never actually said that then. Don't shove this bullshit into my mouth.
What people really need to stop doing is misunderstanding what the poster means when he types his words.

We're almost certainly gonna see Koshiro in this upcoming chapter. Unless Oda considers it more important to move on to someone else, it seems pertinent to hit every major person associated with the SH's.
…I don't think he'll be kneeling at Kuina's grave though :P. Covers are very rarely bawish, and are almost always played up for laughs. I bet Koshiro's students will just all be closing their eyes in an exaggerated manner to mimic Zoro, lol.
Off-topic: agreed with the million and one of you who say TOEI is stupid for not animating cover stories. While I'm not nearly as picky as many posters on AP, I do feel that this is the one truly "bad" decision they've made. The fact that the covers could last for literally months, be universally loved by the fans, AND turn them a nice viewership is pathetic.

I agree with Koshiro's cover. I guess he still wants Zoro to be his sucessor. We will likely see Kaya and the Usopp pirates will cosplay with the Sogeking mask.
I wonder if the Baratie will see a glimpse of Sanji's new wanted poster

I think it would be great symbolism. Zoro is working toward fulfilling his promise to Kuina & carries her will with him. Maybe Bellemere's grave will be shown in the background when we see nojiko and Genzo celebrating. I feel bad though because Robin doesn't have anyone to celebrate her return except perhaps some revolutionaries she befriended. :(

…Which could actually be pretty significant. The fact of the matter is that we know nothing about what happened with her in the Revolutionaries...A fact that's sure to come back up in time.
So, with that, I'm gonna call her cover to feature the gang of revolutionaries.

I do not enjoy a tons of stuff on the anime but some of them I still like, it's still One Piece. But I won't be fan-blind and say that the anime is perfect and etc.
@On the Robin cover, I hope they show not only one to each of them, maybe two for each if possible, like they did with Luffy now. We could see the revolutionaries and Aokiji reading the newspaper and maybe letting us find out if he's indeed the fleet admiral or not.
-
If it does go to anyone with a connection to Robin it'll probably be the revolutionaries like stated above. Might be shown mad that they nabbed the wrong one back at Sabaody.
Fake Chopper probably still on her head too for humor value.
-
I wonder about Robin. As said above, we don't know how she ended up relating to them and such. It might give a good answer to the question. Oh, and I liked the Koshiro on Kuina' tomb idea. As at least for Luffy there were 2 covers, think we might get Tashigi also?
-

You're a little overly defensive. If you like the anime than I wasn't talking to you. I didn't say your name and I never quoted you so why are you so mad? I can't even make a stand alone comment about the people who don't like the anime without someone jumping down my throat. Something's off here.
-
I think the "New World Cover Stories" will follow the same pattern as the "First part of the Grand Line cover stories". Not by following Buggy and Hachi again though.
Well they'll lead some characters up to what time disruptingly, and sinisterly epicly will become the greatest showdown of them all in all of shonen history.
Basicly and truly.
The "What's happening" thing that's ongoing right now is a great move by Oda, but it can be tricky for him to arrange this as superbly as he is expected to. But his brilliance is put forth in time, and he is known to take it and play with it.
-
I hope the anime does an episode of the reactionary cover stories. The best time to do it would be after the SH crew sets off for FI. I figure by then the cover story will be done and the anime can fit it in. If not then I can't imagine they'd be able to do it until after the FI arc (in the anime) ends.
-
I just hope it's done. I talked once to a friend of mine, and he said that when Buggy's and Cobymeppo's were animated, the audience dropped quite a lot. That could explain why they didn't keep on doing them, japanese people only wanna see the Straw Hats. A shame, truly.

That was back when people didn't expect those characters to reappear in the future. They figured they were in the rearview and therefore insignificant to the story. Now that people know better then they might actually be interested in the anime side stories.

A big picture of Fisher Tiger smiling and Luffy besides him.

Even tho they're a bunch of stupid people. Those remember me of a guy that would say that he only started to like OP when Mihawk appeared because he only likes strong guys. Makes me puke.

Let's hope so, if it actually gets animated.

Besides, who wouldn't want to see more of CP9?
