      Just realized Franky seems to be bringing something big under a cover to the Sunny.

      Some really beautiful pages this chapters, and I loved Zoro freaking out seeing Franky change his hair.

        @SGRaaize:

        I don't know what's worse, the bad 2010 posters or those who connect 2010 with bad posting

        This has many things to do with what happened in 2010.
        The first thing, and the beginning of all this, was a girl in Jakarta twitted Kubo to congratulate him on chapter 400 and blabbering about Gin's Bankai before it's released in Japan. Shueisha then opened an anti-campaign for online scanlations, "for the mangaka's soul". This lead to the damnation of Raw Paradise. Then One Manga closed shop. The publishers changed their stance on online scanlation. Many manga sites are down. Even though some forums are still active, but it has become a lot more boring than before. People tend to find new places. Some began to move to Arlong Park, hence a big wave of new posters on this forum, especially since August this year. They are not Internet newbies, you see.
        Before that, because Zephos and those who posted like him scared most of the bad newbies away, the forum is quite a quality board compared to other places. There were threads whining about Arlong Park in many forums, regarding how flaming we was.

          Regarding to Caribous DF, I'd also go with a cement Logia:
          His bro digs the holes and he himself fills the graves with his cement.
          Although that kind of Logia would be VERY similar to Mr 3s wax paramecia.
          But it'd go well with that burying alive-theme of the bros.
          Good chap and IMO the best drawn chap in OP so far (the double-under-the-sea-spread and the pic with sitting Kuma)!
          How Franky could have known of Kumas deal with Vegapunk?
          Kuma told it 2 Rayleigh and Rayleigh tld it 2 Franky, simple as that.
          I wonder what kind of shit awaits our SHs @ FI, I'm so excited!!!
          Kuma getting beaten up for a whole year is Odas punishment 4 separating the crew 4 like 2 (real) years. I mean chap 513 is like 2 real yrs ago, isnt it?

          There are a lot of different opinions and views in this forum when it comes to One Piece.

          But can we all agree that Roger's ship, the Oro Jackson, had the best figurehead in the story so far?

            This strawhat must have a secret, it's impossible that he survives more than 20 years without beeing destroyed…
            3 different generations got the strawhat..

              Why are you guys talking about 2010 like it's past-tense…...Anyway I really like this chapter, it was a good one, and now all I'm wondering is, why did Kuma really let his body get experimented on>>?

                Its still stupid to attribute bad posting to 2010, as if every single user that registered here in 2010 is related to that stuff happening

                  the 2010 posters connect themselves with bad posting when a majority of them post terrible posts of course not all 2010 posters are bad but bad post tend to stick out more than good ones

                  i like brook he gives me a bone-er haha skull joke

                      But it's true that there are more new bad posters this year since August than the previous years. A lot. The quality is also more terrible. That's why people call 2010 is a bad year. Of course we still have a few exceptional new posters like GipplePuffy, Gabzilla, and before that, Cyan, RBoar, etc.

                                    My theory:

                                    I think AP forums forcing people to register (to see the spoilers) contribute to this situation too. In the past people registered here because they enjoyed the forum. Today some of the new members doesn't care about the community and troll.

                                          We had only one non-Straw Hat colourspread so far. Another one would be too sudden and unexpected.

                                            **They didn't know that for sure. If Roger did have a DF, there's no reason for them not to use seastone. Sure, he gave himself and all that but you can never be too careful when it comes to things like this.

                                            Then again, the Marines being incompetent or simply not having seastone is also possible.**

                                            ok I can't remember clearly but didn't Rayleigh once told that Roger had the power to listen to all the things around him? So that was how he understood what was written on the Poneglyphs? Was that Haki power? If it was haki Rayleigh should have been able to read it as well..

                                                Most colorspreads are about the strawhats.

                                                  We had only one non-Straw Hat colourspread so far.

                                                  We had a Shichibukai spread and an Impel Down Escapees Spread. But yeah, one of them had Luffy, and we need more.

                                                    Way too soon, I'm afraid
                                                    Blackbeard's younkou reveal is gonna take at least 200 more chapters.
                                                    Unless Blackbeard is controlling Fishmen Island, but I doubt it

                                                      Then lets get the colourspread of Vivi and Coby having chat in the Mars Pyramid.

                                                        We could use a colorspread of the Whitebeard commanders and some of the more prominent allies.

                                                          It's been 6 chapters since the timeskip. Characters that have not appeared since don't count as "in the series" yet, and won't appear in colorspreads.

                                                          That, and colorspreads are almost always Strawhats. Would be nice to get something else once in a while, but I personally would like some spreads with the redesigned crew before Oda starts exploring the rest of the world. 🙂

                                                              Yeah that comment was addressing me on what was mistakenly percieved as a general 2010 bashing.

                                                              I was merely bashing the 2010 "internet tough guys" who are out to prove something for no particular reason at all other than a desperate search for approval.

                                                                  Unless Blackbeard is controlling Fishmen Island, but I doubt it

                                                                  The first candidate to take the yonkou's title is Marco, since his crew was believed to have the power to take down BB's and because all WB's territories and allies will naturally be in Marco's hand….

                                                                  BB will become a yonkou once he kills either Shanks or Kaidou, not now.

                                                                      His bro digs the holes and he himself fills the graves with his cement.
                                                                      Although that kind of Logia would be VERY similar to Mr 3s wax paramecia.
                                                                      But it'd go well with that burying alive-theme of the bros.

                                                                      HOW DID THIS SLIP PAST ME?

                                                                                from the moment i started reading one piece and i have enjoyed the anga immensly. it is still my favorite manga of all time, but recently it is beggining to become a little dissapionting..
                                                                                let me explain

                                                                                this show was supposed to be about a boy who wanted to become king of the pirates, working his way up to become that of what he wants to achieve, gathering a crew and pushing through hardships.

                                                                                but now that the strawhat turns out to be rogers, reiliegh "forgive spelling" trains him. ace being his step-brother. dragon his dad. garp his grandad.
                                                                                all strong people near him if you get what i mean (think of naruto for instance) so it is becoming more like he was destined to become the king no matter what happened.
                                                                                i am not very good in english but i hope i have delivered my point here.

                                                                                i wanted luffy to become the king by working hard with him and his team, thinking of ways to improve himself "gear 2 & 3" not meet the strongest and train with them.

                                                                                then what puts it over the top, the strawhat used to be rogers. that right there just ruined what oda has been building for 13 years. my oppinion only

                                                                                WHAT!!!

                                                                                GO AWAY!!

In the past people registered here because they enjoyed the forum. Today some of the new members doesn't care about the community and troll.

                                                                                        Pretty good theory. That's exactly why I signed up 😄

                                                                                            I have nothing against you, but your opinion seems to come down to "I want them to be the underdogs".

                                                                                            In a way, the Straw Hats are still the underdogs (I.E. not close to admiral level), but if this last arc (the war) has shown us anything, it's that Luffy was far too weak to save anyone. Which could have lost him his crew and did lose him his brother.

                                                                                            The SHs needed this timeskip to become stronger. They wouldn't have lasted in the New World if they didn't have these 2 years. They won't be one-shotting every enemy that comes their way now, but they'll at least stand a chance now.

                                                                                            Give it time, you'll see Oda still knows what he's doing.

You didn't expect the SH to just skim through the New World, defeating a Yonkou here and there, and reach Raftel within a couple of months, did you?

                                                                                              That the strawhat was Roger's was obvious since it was revealed that Shanks was a cabin boy on Roger's ship.

                                                                                                No I don't think and in my eyes it becomes clearly better. OK I don't like that Luffy/Roger similarity but that's just a minor thing.

                                                                                                In total the manga became even better with all this new relationship and hidden storyline which has to be revelead

It might make for a slightly more harrowing story if all odds were against him. But part of the story is also that Luffy has this weirdly charismatic personality. You can't help but want to root for him. And I think that's what happened with a lot of the strongest characters in this, his lineage aside. They felt that this spunky kid deserved a chance because he seemed to want it the most and had a lot of potential.

                                                                                                    It'd be like if you found this scrawny mutt yapping at your heels and you tried to shoo it away, but then it did some cool back flips. And you were all…"Hey...that's different, never thought it could do something that cool." So you gave it some food.

                                                                                                      • he never told anyone about Ace until the SHs met him in Alabasta

                                                                                                      Luffy did everything to become the strongest on his own (with help of his friends/crew of course).

                                                                                                      Luffy is NOT such an ass who makes himself look better by saying that he knows this or that person.
