Reads reactions to ||luffy|| post and anticipates more responses…

thats a well done speech. i shed a single tear.
slow clap

Hahahha I got here just in time to read a stupid ass post!!
-
Came here seeing new posts.
Read the Luffy one.
This bitch needs to be given a dictionary and pointed towards the meaning of 'discussion' because that bitch don't know their shit.
They clearly also have never been properly involved in an AP Forums debate/discussion or have seen any. -
I had theory of Law trying to put DD in motion, as in being the pirate he once was, in my mind but got cold too it eventually because Vergo told to Law that he didn't know about Doflamingo's past -which is a detail unfavors the theory.
To be fair, I would like to see the story going out of it's predictability and move to that course. We had this: There is a villian that needs to be defeated thing countless times. Although it eventually comes down to that, cliffhangers indeed could come in handy. In the end Kaidou would be the villian but seeing Doflamingo ally with LawTraw(^^, Stlaw alt.) would add great dynamics.
However i really do not consider this to happen, but desire still stands for dynamics. Because right now we have the younger pirates and older villians. They will go down eventually one by one, let them be Shichibukai, Yonkou, Undeground dealers or Marines. It is kind of linear in my point of view.
-
I don't get why people are like 'Law's gonna ask Doflamingo to join the alliance' or 'omgomg Strawhearts allying with Doflamingo would be so legit and awesome omg the dynamics omg'.
It's not going to happen - Law's provoking him far too much, he's playing with him and toying with him and screwing with him so much. If he wanted Doflamingo in the alliance he WOULD HAVE JUST ASKED WHILST THEY WERE STILL ON SOMEWHAT GOOD TERMS INSTEAD OF FUCKING EVERYTHING OVER FOR HIM.

BTW i dont know if anyone posted this but when i was reading the older chapters i saw this
http://i22.mangareader.net/one-piece/504/one-piece-64793.jpg
Did oda just Mention "Smile" thing a few years back and then bring it back? Wow
-
I want to see Law screw DD some more lol
And I want to see DD screw Law for good xD.
Edit: Yeah, Oda mentioned the smiles back then.
-
wow. somebody's a dumb child.
i dunno what you define as "real discussion" but okay… just leave then...
Fixed that for you, Evo.
-
Lol, the majority of you all are dumb asses who need to put your hobby time some where else. What was it; about two pages ago there was some argument about kuzans laziness? Its a fucking quirk that the author gave him for humor, nothing more.
Any other time you guys arnt over analyzing some bull shit you're too worried about trying to make another person look stupid that discussion on the forum hardly happens. Well I think I'm about done with visiting these forums. It was nice when it had spoilers and real discussion could be read, but neither of those are happening anymore. so adios.
Discussion here could be better, yeah, but it doesn't seem like you know about discussion really and instead resort to ad hominem. I hardly see the "making another person look stupid" thing you're talking about; the forums are quite civil compared to what they used to be (they used to be fucking mean. It was an interesting spectacle to watch, to say the least.) We still do have spoilers and "real" discussion. Our One Piece discussion, although there may be some fat on it, has more meat to it than any other forum. You just have to have a filter for it.

I want to see Kaidou so bad…

Exactly! I remember I use to see folks (during my lurking days) here run each other out of town. APF has kind of gotten… friendlier!
Who wouldn't want that?

Well that is because the show is past the halfway mark and starting to close chapters. This is completely normal for every show, and it is inevitable that the villains that have been introduced will get taken out one by one. I prefer something that doesn't involve Luffy in taking out everyone, but we will see how Oda handles it. Plus the brokers that have been introduced is a whole new enemy that could spring some surprises on top of other potential unknown enemies.
You cannot keep everything in the air until the story reaches 90% because then you will have difficulty closing so many stories at once, making it rushed.

Back then it used to be a battlefield which, contradictory to general opinion, had a certain charm. It's undoubtedly become friendlier around here now but overall also a tad more boring. :P
-
In my opinion One Piece has been abysmal lately. The plot is half-assed and unengaging, the portrayal of the Strawhats has been crude, inconsistent, and oftentimes scarce, and the depiction of the supporting characters has ruined some of the most interesting long running conflicts and severely hurt the potential of new ones. The sob stories and “emotional moments” are more trite and shoehorned than ever as well. Just came here to see if any one else feels the same way.

I actually feel that the "sob stories" and "emotional moments" are the things that are keeping One Piece… well.. One Piece.
One of the main reasons I fell in love with the series is due to the special attention that minor characters get. OP isn't always about the Strawhats, but more so, the Strawhats entering into the world of others. That's why I loved the Children of Punk Hazard. Sure Law stole the show for most of the arc, but those kids story made the arc even more interesting.Also, I believe things will turn right around when we feel the SH's have entered into that "world of danger", just like how it use to be. I know Dofla will deliver.

I kind of agree. We don't seem to have too many antagonist around anymore. Strelok is gone…. We need more assholes to register in the forum!! More assholes and more people with funny quirks!!!
-
I like the unpredictability of what Oda is doing but I do wish the PH stuff that is exclusive to the island/arc would get resolved. Like the frozen prisoners, Monet's death, Vergo's death, Monet's body change, Axotol DF. I also hope Doflamingo does get back ahead of the SHs/Law because he has such dangerous and great villain potential. I hope he doesn't take 2nd place to Kaidou so soon, then again if Oda wants to turn things on their head if the SHs are facing Kaidou and Big Mam at the same time then shit will get real.
Also am I the only one who doesn't want Kaidou revealed YET? I mean apart from Vegapunk he is THE biggest name and most important character to have been mentioned but not seen? Nobody wants to see the brokers first? I think Big Mam's full reveal should be first since she is was the first Yonkou for the SHs to get involved with.

I dunno…I thought folks were kinda asshole-ish to Foxy about the whole "Admirals" being plural. But then again, everything dealing with that Admiral's' thing was kinda stupid (including the gloaters). "Herpa-derpa-derp, we were right on an internet forum. We deserve an internet cookie!"

Well…. it's not the same when everyone feels the courage to be an asshole when it's like 20 on 1. We need someone that has the courage to insult someone regardless the situation. Someone who is overly conceited. I'm also waiting for the day a member will join who only speaks in sexual innuendos.

There have been a few people in the fandom saying that, but generally people seem to have enjoyed Punk Hazard and disliked Fishman Island.
Personally, I really enjoyed the world-building with the new alliances(Luffy/Law, Kid/Apoo/Hawkins), Doflamingo coming to the picture(including the underworld), more hints to Devil Fruits(Smile and Sad), Kaidou coming into the picture(the emperor being challanged). I've enjoyed the crew interactions that were missing in the war - this very chapter was really fun.
We got small serious moments for most of the crewmates, the real serious stuff will probably saved for the whole Kaidou thing. This is a set-up arc, I wasn't expecting anything large out of it.On the flip side - Law is really overpowered and everything has been going too right for him, so that's kind of annoying, but I feel like that will be fixed. The kids thing was kind of eh because of how overplayed it was and the finishers for the fights were anticlimatic, particularly the Zoro one(not to mention the whole sexism thing).
Overall, I think PH was a good arc, but there is much improvement possible here. Also, there's still some plot threads in the air about stuff - Vergo's and Monet's fates, the frozen prisoners, Monet let Chopper go in the first place, when she saw him; the yeti cool brothers and all the unhealed fodder. I just feel like there has to be a whole chapter detailing all the stuff left on Punk Hazard and then the story can move forward once more. Lots of uncertainy and unpredictability(see Aokiji's involvement) like usually between the arcs, if not anything else, then definitely excited to see where this is going next.

^ HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
This comment made me have a good laugh!

I was about to attribute that post to the ramblings of a new OP fan that spawned from the Marinford arc (god there are so many of them and they're so damn annoying, yet… whatever helps boost OP so whatever). However, I saw the comment about the SH characters not getting a lot of focus so...hmm...I got nothing to say.
-
I can agree on the Law-related stuff. After he's been re-introduced in PH, he's become more and more of an annoyance to me; be it his uber DF or his smug 'all according to plan' attitude. Some may love those sides of Law but I'd rather see him get his ass handed to him by good ol' DD and gang.

Frankly I want to see a proper villain and it better be the next arc, whether Doflamingo, unknown Brokers, Kaido or whoever else shows up. The whole, lets create a dangerous scenario but SHs are noticeably stronger ruins the danger factor, as much as Oda has embellished it. If Law wasn't in the previous arc, since Fishman Island this would have been very very boring. The last arc was pretty good though since the end saved it. My main issue with the characters currently is Nami and Robin are walking titts with almost 0 personality. It's nice that power wise Nami and Ussop have gotten stronger, but then you have characters like Chopper and Robin and you get the feeling that they've stayed the same. Really hoping for a noticably stronger form with Chopper and Robin something else than.. a bigger hand. Chopper has been shown to be much stronger in my perspective and yet Oda has basically started to kind of ruin that perspective by keeping him the same and have the 2 weaklings of the crew get stronger and stronger…
Anyways after the horrible FI arc, as long as this current arc is the calm before the storm, I really enjoyed this arc. And if not.. then meh. I will say that the anime has gotten pretty bad, not the manga itself. In the anime, it already looks like they are going to ruin the fighting scenes in this arc with long looks, more pointless additions added, every situation being longer than it should be, meh. I've checked out 3 random episodes in the arc and two were similar to the FI arc in the anime, pointless and it feels like a waste of time. So my main issue is currently the bastardizing of anime bit by bit rather than the manga who just a while back hit a bit of a roadblock but it's looking like it's going to get very interesting. The Brokers, Emperors and others, so many characters and many angles to choose from. I do hope Oda doesn't go for something incredibly generic and predictable as I can also see happening, ie. Law = strong, we show how strong he is, hype him. Law = very smart. Plan falls apart (so far so good), Law gets beaten/nearly killed, Luffy saves him, they fight Kaido, Luffy saves Law and finishes off Kaido as well... I don't particularly try too hard to think of storylines so I can be surprised but if it's something that I can pick up a mile away without much thought, that's not a good indication of a good, written storyline. Oda doesn't let me down in such scenarios so I hope he keeps it up.
Frankly, I am very excited and hope for surprises in the next arc. Hope it delivers, and too each his own.

Yeah, that's been pretty common knowledge. Most of us recalled his conversation with Disco.
-
I would like to see more world exploration (one of the main gripes I had with FI). I love when the SH are split up in a vast new land and we get to see each of them have their moments. I love the Sanji and Usopp duo. They are very funny together.
-
My main issue with the characters currently is Nami and Robin are walking titts with almost 0 personality.
….what?
You're not saying that because of the fanservice this chapter, right?
-
So that added touch of Nami willing to rescue the kids was due to her breast?
-
Seeing people talk about the old days of the forums, makes me wish I was hear when Zephos was running amok.
-
For everybody complaining about Law getting his way just read what Franky says.
!
Oda never wastes lines.
-
Mhm.
I can already feel it… the whole 'bird' thing could also be seen as a joke by all but on the other side of things can be a potential metaphor - Law is the tortoise, Doflamingo is the bird, the higher Law forces Doflamingo to go (as in the harder he trolls his ass), the harder the fall will be if Doflamingo snaps and eventually drops some sweet ass whopping on Law.
That or I've been reading too many tales lately (that wasn't even one but I recall one with a tortoise/turtle and a bird and the tortoise/turtle being dropped on a stone and having its shell smashed...) -

Oh it had a charm alright. Longass multi-quote posts were really fun to watch. I would go for it being more acerbic again but people need to stick around, we don't need to chase them off.

It's not going to happen - Law's provoking him far too much, he's playing with him and toying with him and screwing with him so much. If he wanted Doflamingo in the alliance he WOULD HAVE JUST ASKED WHILST THEY WERE STILL ON SOMEWHAT GOOD TERMS INSTEAD OF FUCKING EVERYTHING OVER FOR HIM.
[/flops]
Damnityouguys.Sorry , I see what you mean and all but my theory just stems from Law himself, the way he explained things to the SH, I get the impression
that DD will play an even more significant roll then we truly know, he called him again , we assume its just to pick up Ceaser but I
assume he will proposition him again. About what tho?That's all I'm wondering.
-

You do realize that if Law wasn't around, the SH and G-5 would have been royally screwed? It's just fortunate for them that Law HAPPENED to be interested in joining Luffy and that he HAPPENED to know the entire layout of the lab. If Law wasn't around, the following might have happened. (Heck imagine if Law just went with Flamingo's plans and did what CC asked him to?)
-Scotch and Rocks successfully captures 1/2 of the SH
-CC/Monet take out the other 1/2 of the SH (or at least taken out in a seastone cage while shinokuni was around)
-No Kinemon (probably killed off or whatever)
-Shinokuni takes out the G5 and the few that actually get into the lab…the Shinokuni will probably wipe out too (or at least Brownbeard/Monet takes them out). -
Looking at it the final page this chapter is rather ominious, too. Dofla is way too chill compared to the reaction he had to Law's call. Law's plan might be ruined pretty soon and pretty spectacularly.
-

I took it as Dofla trying to calm himself down from stress.
Also, I feel the TheGreatestSwordsmon adds flavor to the threads. I can't ever remember getting in a debate with someone so much in a while.
-
I don't see any indication of Law's plans not going smoothly. For all we know, he can still return CC but take out his eyes, tongue, and hands to prevent him from being useful in producing more smiles.
-
I took it as Dofla trying to calm himself down from stress.
For some reason it just struck as ominious to me on reread, but what you said is more likely.
-
I, for one, am still hoping the smug bastard gets handed a right royal asskicking. And ideally by as low-tier a character as possible. And as he's finishing him off (for good, I hope) he says, "Take your 'according to plan' and shove it up your ass, along with your head."
Giving Law a bigger role in the story is One Piece jumping the shark, unless the alliance disintegrates soon, or he falls off the Sunny and dies. And Luffy goes, "Oops, onward then" with a huge grin on his face. -
I'm ready to see more of this
-
….what?
You're not saying that because of the fanservice this chapter, right?
No, I am saying it because they've become uninteresting characters to me now. I don't mind the fan service, do what you want. Because of the fan service we got a hilarious moment in the last chapter, they're just not very interesting. The kids in the chapter, I could care less about and even though Nami was all about saving the kids, I still am not liking her character recently. The less is said about Robin the better.. you know kind of like the manga. :S

-Shinokuni takes out the G5 and the few that actually get into the lab…the Shinokuni will probably wipe out too (or at least Brownbeard/Monet takes them out).I think you are misunderstanding me. Without Law to me, this arc would have been in the same level of FI island, ie. not interesting at all. We would have had another Smoker vs Luffy and it wouldn't have been the final fight, another danger situation like the previous arc.. Maybe the only good thing would have been Zoro vs Vergo, though I have a suspicion he would have fucked him up similar to Law, without the mountain being levitated…
But perhaps I am misunderstanding you, so if so then it is my bad.
-
Kind of wish "he" was here. Perhaps "he" will come back
Just go to the General Discussion forum, it's pretty easy to piss him off.
-

.
What's the difference between the Nami of this arc and the Nami in the previous arcs (exclude AP arc)
Just go to the General Discussion forum, it's pretty easy to piss him off.
Nah.. Im not talking about Zeph. I'm talking about the other guy that got banned and were not suppose to talk about him. We can't even say his name… so we refer to him as.... "he"
-
Law plans on destroying the factory on Dressrosa right? Well I can see Law trying to make a trade with DD while the Strawhats try to destroy the factory. But what would happen if DD is actually there at the factory with his crew waiting for the Strawhats?? Leaving Law all by his lonesome and stunned. Just a thought.
