Nah, I don't really think either of them would eat any of the Devil Fruit…
379 COLORSPREAD (Hold onto Your Butts) *Updated with HQ colourspread*
-
-
Nami has lost all of her lower ribs XD. Can't get much thinner than that, Sanji should feed her better.
I always like these "feel good" spreads.
-
maybe one of the fruits is a lion fruit. so the one that eats it could be the next crewmember. it could be franky, he tried to eat spandam:)
-
Heh.. for all you know that might be true. XD
-
Wait a minute! Are the Devil Fruits on the spread? Because I can´t see them.
-
@Battle:
I think the first word is 'Medical'. I can't make out the other word, without getting blurred vision.
:wacko:Gosh I'm dim! Chopper's reading 'Medical Sciences' :withstupi
-
What a funny spread. I like Nami's pigtails.
-
Beautiful colour spreads :D thanks for sharing it Battle Franky. btw…. the 'hamok' Luffy's using..... where's it hanging from? I mean.... it looks like it is flying :S ah.. nevermind..... beautiful colour spread ^_^ (Robin is smiling :wub:)
-
If there is a devil fruit on the spread, point it out. Luffy's hamock is suspended from a leaf it looks like on the left side. Crazy strong palm trees.
-
hehehe there's a pic of Nami in Sanji's hand (i presume) as well :laugh:
-
I think Oda just works onthese non-chapter-specific color spreads on his free time (free…time..?) and releases them when he's finished. That's why we get no mention of Franky, notice how Usopp is there, not Sogeking , As with Robin, but a few spreads ago both Robin and Usopp were missing.
-
Yeah but Robin and Usopp were samurai with Luffy before in another color spread. This was the rest of the crew's turn to be samurai.
-
The best thing with this Colorspread is that Franky isnt on it.. B) Theres still hope for Paulie.
Annd me thinks that this one of the best shots at Nami in One Piece.. :P I love her bikini..
-
Or… it could signify that no one will join except for the New Ship. =)
-
Ok I´d like to show some title pages that came long before. Click here to see a title page that featured Sanji before he joined the crew. That was chapter 56.
And now if you click here you´ll see the spread of chapter 61. There is no Sanji among the Strawhats. What´s even worse, he still wasn´t part of the Strawhats in that chapter.
So it´s not like Oda pulls it with Franky for the first time here.
-
Well, back then I don't think he really had those strict rules regarding cover stories that he has now, and was thus free to mess around as he pleased. And Sanji just happened to be a central part of that chapter, so he tossed him in there.
Personally, I don't think any cover page or spread can be used as an argument to determine who will join. Even if you discover some constant factor regarding them, fact remains there's no rule for it whatsoever and Oda probably works mostly on whims.
-
Ivotas, those are like from six years ago, when Oda was still a young author. It's not a bad guess that now Oda wants to do some things differently than he did back then. He has changed as an author. Anyway, a good spot.
But then again, Mog, as far as I remember Oda hasn't ever put Straw Hats together with a side characters in color spreads. And before somebody says Vivi and Carue - they did join the crew, and they were Straw Hats or, if you want to say, nakama.
-
Well, We had the some of the BW agents and Buggy and Smoker in a color spread..
-
Ah, Battle Franky you were right, I should've held on to my butt.
-
oda sure makes colorspreads often O.O But this one is nice, I think I'll spy our local japanese foodstore in that case they bring this Jump to sale.
-
Allow me to say ''Dorry and Brogy''.
And no, I don't consider Vivi and Carue Strawhat crewmembers; that is debatable. And considering it is debatable in the first place, combined with what I just mentioned, means your theory crumbles. And besides that, as I mentioned…
What's the point in setting up such a theory? Even if it were true, who's to say it wasn't just a coincidence? Who's to say it was? Like I said, even if there is some kind of ''rule'', Oda's the only one in on it, and everything depends on his whims.
-
Ok we had Dorry, Brogy and all those other guys on a color spread. How many of them actually got labeled Mugiwara Pirate?
And saying that Oda was a young author blah blah blah back then is a really weak argument because his entire storytelling is the same as before or did he somehow change it drastically? I think not. But then when it gets to title pages it all of a sudden is a different story. Isn´t that a bit naive?
-
That recent color spread does say Mugiwara Pirates, and it implies Franky will soon join them. I don't see Pauly, or Kokoro or Zambai with Franky. With all the weight Franky has already, that color spread pushes it even further that he's gonna join.
-
Well, his art's matured.
-
Well, his art's matured.
Hahaha, now that is true. Obviously it develops with the years if you constantly draw the same characters in the same world.
However I haven´t seen his way of storytelling change which means that his mind is still set on the same style. That´s why this story is so great. It goes on for so long but it didn´t have any drastic changes in his style of storytelling and I hope it stays like this until the end. =)
-
im not big on these formulas you always make Ivotas
since there almost always is some things that differ(in this case some colorspreads) from that formula of what always is supposed to happen thus making pretty much useless since its been proven that it doesnt have to follow that formula.and i do think his writing has matured or changed toward the better maybe evolved is a better word,
it atleast seems so if you compare the first book to the latest W7 chapters. -
You know I´m personally sick and tired when I hear somebody say something against the forumala argument since it appears to apply on every artist in the entire world.
No matter if it is art of painted, written, sculpted, composed or whatsoever kind. It is a proven fact that every artist has something as his personal style/handwriting that shows much about how he works. As great as artists are they can just do it their way and if you are once familiar with it you can see a structure and even predict what can come.Sorry if I´m a little bit fired up here, but this isn´t about my personal opinion about Oda´s work. It´s just that so many great people (philosoph´s, artists, musicians, scientists etc) have created so many great explenations on analyzing artistic artwork (no matter what kind of art) that I really get annoyed when it gets made down by people who are in my age.
-
well that maybe but im sorry to say that i just dont buy into that either no matter how many smart people have said it before but im really not into discussing that,
and your structure in this case kinda falls with the fact that a couple of non strawhats have been featured in the color spreads doesnt it ? or have i misunderstood the structure thing,
if there had been a definte structure in this case no one but the strawhats and the people joining the strawhats would ever have been featured in them but there has been some (dorry broggy and vivi). -
The best thing with this Colorspread is that Franky isnt on it.. B) Theres still hope for Paulie.
Annd me thinks that this one of the best shots at Nami in One Piece.. :P I love her bikini..
Like I said, Franky hasn't been officially declared anything yet, it's stupid to think this cover means anything.
-
shakes head Oda Oda Oda, first power levels and now fan service? What are you doing to your series!?
Nah, XD This is nice. Good treat for the guys.
-
Oh my, I almost missed this thread. I love colorspreads, I'm gonna make that my new background when a HQ version of it comes out =) My current one's the one from ch 373.
I loove Oda's style so much. :adore::adore::adore: Thanks for the scan :)
-
I´m really trying my best to make a calm and objective post here but it is hard, because it slowly appears that we are arguing just for the sake of it. But just in order to not start a flaming here I´ll be the obediant idiot again and rewrite something that I´ve written a dozen times already.
Vivi joined the Strawhats in Whiskey Peak. She traveled with them to Little Garden. Afterwards she was at Drum with them. And in the end they brought her back to her homeland Alabasta. She was with the Strawhats on for different islands. Even if she didn´t become a pirate she traveled with them, which already justifies that she is featured with them on title pages. She accompined them in multiple arcs. Nuff said.
Dorry and Brogy actually fall in the same class as the spread with Franky. It isn´t a spread with huge hippo´s or samurai Strawhats or whatsoever. It is a spread that shows a picture of what is happening in this arc. And in this arc (Little Garden) the Strawhats were on a prehistoric island where two giants lived. The spread never said anything different. It just showed what is a part of the arc.
And the Franky spread shows what will be part of this arc and that´s the fight between Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, Robin and Franky on the one and Lucci, Kaku, Califa, Fukuro, Jabura, Kumadori, Blueno and Spandam on the other side.So please tell me where did Vivi or the giants broke a structure? The title pages show the cast that is traveling together at that time. And Vivi traveled with the Strawhats, that can´t be denied.
And sometimes spreads show what´s happening in the story and that´s what Dorry´s and Brogy´s spread was about. So please where did Vivi and the giants broke any structure?
-
O-ho, not guys only.
Zoro showing dislike to Nami's picture=Zoro doesn't like girls=Zoro's GAY!
I sense a disturbance in the fandom; many fangirls rejoice.
*Note that the above equations work only in some fangirls' mind! XDYou know, I'm gonna stick up for Zoro here and just assume that he's already using Robin as bait and doesn't want anything to do with the Nami bait. Of course he could just be gay, I mean all the evidence points to it
-
awesome colorspread, but is robin's nipple showing through her shirt, or what is that dot?
-
That would be the bikini she's wearing underneath, dear Frog. Look closely.
-
lol thanks, I see how it works now, I just wanted to clear that up
-
I wonder what Sanji would give to be sleeping where Chopper is sleeping. Heck, I wonder what many people on this board would give to sleep where Chopper is sleeping.
If I think I'm insane, does it mean I'm not? Because a truly insane person wouldn't know that they are insane?
-
great spread. will there be another one later on at 400 do ya think?
-
This post is deleted!
-
After looking at this picture, I noticed something interesting. First of all, some other member pointed out that Usopp is holding a picture of a Nami foldout. On closer inspection, Usopp appears to be using it as bait.
Also, Ritchie is blushing while looking a piece of paper. Possibly another copy of the foldout. He also seems to have something in his mouth. To me it looks like he was hooked by Luffy using that same foldout as bait. :laugh:
-
I don't think that's really Richie….
-
I don't think that's Ritchie… that must be some other random lion, popping out of nowhere :P
As for the other piece of paper, I guess it's a photograph of Robin, since the other photo, the one in Usopp's hand presumably is Nami's :D
reads the comments about Zoro being gay... Ugh not again... +P -
@Mog:
What's the point in setting up such a theory?
A theory? Where that came from XD ? I just said as far as I remember Oda hasn't drawn side character together with Straw Hats in these "feel good" color spreads such as this. It's not a theory, I didn't have any thoughts behind it, I hardly ever have. But of course you're welcome to give it an extra meaning.
Regarding Vivi. She was together with them as long as Robin has been, and take Robin as a crew member too.
@Ivotas:And saying that Oda was a young author blah blah blah back then is a really weak argument because his entire storytelling is the same as before or did he somehow change it drastically? I think not. But then when it gets to title pages it all of a sudden is a different story. Isn't that a bit naive?
It's sad if Oda hasn't gained anything from past years. I find it quite possible that an author/artist has reshaped his thoughts and approach after gaining experience in any subject. It would be human. I'm sure that happens to everybody… well, at least to me
. And I'm not only talking about title pages, I just always reconsider this possibility when taking old material into a discussion. And, as it is, I didn't brought it up because I had something against your "find", to argue, but just to remind about it. Oda may not want to do things the same way he did in the past. -
And saying that Oda was a young author blah blah blah back then is a really weak argument because his entire storytelling is the same as before or did he somehow change it drastically? I think not.
Well, he kinda did. The start of One Piece was really quite childish, then it grew more mature, and in water 7 we even have some very dark moments, which is a novelty. Ofcourse he still has the same "touch" as always, but he did evolve too.
That is just something I wanted to point out, I don't disagree with the fact that the Franky/colorspread thing is leading to his joining, or atleast strongly hinting towards it. I'm really expecting Franky to join - although the initial Luffy drawing was what pulled me in, the colorspreads/back-story/lotsa spotlight just add more.
-
Of course Oda himself has learned more and has matured, but his storytelling style is still the same. That´s what I meant. He just adapts what he learned into his style but he doesn´t change it.
-
Heh, nice interpretation difference we got: maturing and keeping your style, or adjusting your style through maturing. Seems like semantics. But anyway, the thing is, if we would have gone with the whole "let's look at the past and extrapolate to the future", Robin never could have joined. And the situation that there's an abundance of potential candidates for a new crewmember is a novelty aswell. Franky probably will join, but I won't rip my hair out in disbelief if he doesn't.. because there's still this other theory I have that Franky's build-up is for affinity to the new ship he's gonna build for the mugiwara's.

How can you not fall in love with him?>Zoro x Vivi shipper forever<
