So how long are One piece arcs in their universe? A couple days? Also how much time is taken between arcs?
Since Tamago and Pekoms still seem to be on their way to the ominous-sounding tea party, likely less than four days in the New World, believe it or not.
So how long are One piece arcs in their universe? A couple days? Also how much time is taken between arcs?
Unless it's mentioned somewhere, we don't really have any way of knowing how much time has passed between arcs. There were apparently moon phases present in the earlier parts of the manga that used to give us a vague idea but that seems to have been dropped after Water 7.
Of the ones I can remember off the top of my head:
Shells Town: 1 day
Orange Town: 1 day
Syrup Village: 2 days (landed on 1st day; fight on 2nd day and they leave on the second day?)
Baratie: I think the crew is there for a week while Luffy tried to work off his debt? All of the fighting takes place on the last day.
Arlong Park: 2 days (1st day for the fight; they leave on the second day)
Loguetown: 1 day
Twin Capes: 1 day?
Whiskey Peak: 1 night
Little Garden: 1 day
(Between Little Garden and Drum, it takes less than 5 days considering the disease Nami contracted usually takes 5 days to kill the person)
Drum Island: 2 days? I'm not entirely clear on this one.
Alabasta: I think took 3 days from the day they landed to crocodile getting punched out (1st day, they landed, 2nd day from Yuba to Rainbase, 3rd day reached Alubarna) and 3 more days for Luffy to recover.
Jaya/Skypiea: 4 days (1st day landed at Jaya, met Cricket; 2nd day went to Skypiea; 3rd day, fight with Enel; 4th day they depart)
Long Ring Long Land: we know for sure it took them 4 days because they had to wait for 3 days for Robin to fully recover from Aokiji freezing her.
Water 7: 2 days (1st day landed, Usopp leaves the crew at 10 pm that night; 2nd day, the whole confusion thing, eventually end up taking the train to Enies Lobby that night)
Enies Lobby: Overnight battle, by morning they're out and have met Iceburg.
Post-Enies Lobby: ~7 days, after two days, Garp shows up. After 5 days, the ship is built and they're ready to go.
Thriller Bark: everything happens overnight. take 2 days to rest to let Zoro recover.
Sabaody: everything happens on the same day. Luffy is sent flying for 3 days and 3 nights by Kuma to Amazon Lily
Amazon Lily -> Impel Down: 3 days (he spends an afternoon on Amazon Lily I think. Hancock and Luffy depart that night)
Impel Down and Marineford: 2 days (1st day, Luffy fighting his way through Impel Down, taken down by Magellan, spends that 20 hours split between that night and next morning recovering; 2nd day is mass break out and Marineford itself.)
Post-war: I think the whole thing spans about 3 weeks.
and every single arc since the timeskip has been a single day.
What are your thoughts on the Punk Hazard arc?
Finished re reading it yesterday and I have to say it was a lot of fun and while there are a few things I would change like giving the Yeti Cool Brothers a full fight and making Chopper help heal the children it's one of my favorites.
I don't understand a lot of the complaints about it, especially the ones about the children when they didn't even take up a lot and weren't annoying brats.

Close, they landed on one day, had the battle that night (think it was straight till early morn?) then leave on the next day. In ch 40 we see a villager comment on it being 7am

I'd have go re-read it, but don't think that much time passed.

yeah, reunion at SA, But remember that some crewmembers were there longer than others. Day they left was day Luffy arrived. Not sure if Sanji arrived same day. But once crew reunited, they left to go to FI, arrived there had fight on one day.
The next day, they encounter Pekoms & Tamago, leave FI and arrived at PH.
Arriving at PH, fight then leaving was all one day.
Then we had the night between PH & Dressrosa (DR).
Currently everything happening since arriving at Dressrosa has been on day.
The meeting at Green Bit was at 3 pm so with all those stuff and battles right now is past 5-6 pm
Close, they landed on one day, had the battle that night (think it was straight till early morn?) then leave on the next day. In ch 40 we see a villager comment on it being 7am
The battle starts on the second day. Here's Kuro telling Jango to attack the next morning:
And here's the confirmation on it starting the next morning (from chapter 28):
along with your mention about the detail in chapter 40, I guess the battle was really early in the morning.
I'd have go re-read it, but don't think that much time passed.
Yea, looks like I was mistaken, only two days passed between Gin showing up at the restaurant and then coming back with Krieg (from chapter 46):
As for the Return to Sabaody, looks like they assembled over the span of 2 weeks, Shakky mentions that Franky arrived 10 days ago:
Sanji, Robin, and Luffy arrived on the day they departed.

Ah that was the pages I was missing, thanks, I thought they attacked at midnight or so. I noticed the shy in the chs 39-e40 but didn't think much of it as the one page had people waking up (after the fight) at 7am. I forgot it started at sunrise. So I guess the fight was short in time, taking a hour or so.
it's supposed to be a year when they reach sabaody right? with all the details that you guys mentioned that could only mean they spent most of their days on water.

was it ever by anyone(that it's been a year)?

which is only natural. They are sailing after all.
We can be sure that it's definitely less than a year since we don't see any of the crew go through a birthday during that time (speaking of birthdays, I wouldn't mind seeing one at some point. would they even acknowledge or celebrate it?)
I've seen people guess between 6 and 9 months from the moment Luffy left Windmill Village to the crew seeing the Red Line.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---

nah, we're only guessing based on the fact that none of the crew gets any older during that time.
I'd think it's even less than that.

That thread has a pretty well researched timeline up to the end of Enies Lobby.
It's too bad we don't get much of an indication how much time has passes between Post-Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark (looks like at least several days. Luffy is wearing different clothes and we all know he bathes once a week (if we're taking it seriously)) and Thriller Bark and Sabaody (it literally just says several days). It looks like they spent ~2.5 months in Paradise.
For East Blue:
Chapter 1-2, no freaking idea.
Chapter 2-3 looks like the same day, could be more.
chapter 7-8 looks like maybe a few days. If Zoro's starving as well, I guess it's at least a couple days.
chapter 21-22, probably the same day? (based on nothing really. best estimator is that Zoro's awake at the end of 21 but asleep throughout 22, Nami mentions that he's still injured)
chapter 22-23 No indication of how much time has passed.
Going by the moon phases listed on the wiki (assuming it's the same cycle of course):
chapter 28-95 is crescent to first quarter, which is ~3.5 days, so from the day they depart Syrup Village to the end of Arlong Park is ~3.5 days (with 2 days included for Baratie, 1 day from Syrup Village).
chapter 95-152 is first quarter to full moon which is ~7 days, subtracting the 3 days from little garden to drum, it's ~4 days from end of Arlong Park to entering Little Garden.
So… 3-ish months from chapter 2 to chapter 597
That's kind of crazy.

I quite liked PH. My only real criticism was the Monet fight, for several reasons. First, it confirmed something that has been speculated on for ages, that Nami's powers can pierce Logia defenses, and did nothing with it. Second, it was anticlimactic. Third, it was another "woman gets final blow after man does most of the work" fight, which seems to unfortunately be becoming a trend. Finally, it seems OOC for Zoro to hold back for women, people weaker than him, or anyone really.
Does anyone know which source did the statement regarding smile (symbol) being popular in North Blue come from? Thanks.

That's a trait he certainly adopted after being with Mihawk for so long. Hyozou got the same treatment.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯ 
Did we even get info about why Enel have no wings?
I remember something but I'm not sure and I can't find anything reasoable

Or, in the case of Tashigi, from Oda. :ninja:
@The:

His design is based on a traditional Raijin.
In terms of story, he probably wanted to appear different from the other sky islanders, believing himself to be a God.
It's not like he needed the wings to fly anyway.

Maybe he was born without wings, believing he was the new god because of this. Gan Fall doesn't seem to have wings either.

Yes I know about that but I think I remember he ripped them off himself or something like that.
I just want some confirm or something
Does he have wounds where he original have wings?
@The:

The fair assumption to make is probably that, but I don't believe there's anything in the manga saying exactly what happened to them (or if he ever had them at all).

I don't think it's every explicitly stated, at least not that I can remember.
The two holes on his upper back that his barrel wheel thing slots into seem to be in the same position as the roots of the other sky islanders wings.
So I'd say it's safe to assume that his wings were removed and replaced with it, rather than him not having wings at all.

Yeah we know he is from another sky island Birka (his homeland that he destroyed) so we know he is one of the winged people and not (as once thought) someone 'normal' that came from the Blues as a kid that grew up on a sky island. … yes someone actually proposed that way back when. It was destroyed at some point (can't remember when) Oda said he originated from Birka.

of course if we DID ask that in a SBS we have a high chance of getting a joke answer.
Has the difference between Miss Valentine and Machvise's devil fruits explained? From what I understand, they're all fruits that lets the user adjusts their weight. So what's the difference, exactly?

Given the tail, this is just my theory but maybe he got the tanuki fruit so he can become heavy like stone or something like that
The common interpretation is that Machvise is able to change the weight of the shield, but not himself. That or Oda forgot, or the fruit is just weight augmentation, not reduction, or that the difference between tons and kilos deserved different fruits.

I think it was more that Nami discovered the elemental weakness in Monet's logia (in this case heat > snow) rather like Luffy did Crocodile's.
Unfortunately without an inherent power to back it up she was overwhelmed after that first shot.
Could kuzan freeze monet like sakazuki could burn ace?
Could kuzan freeze monet like sakazuki could burn ace?
Probably! Ice is stronger than snow, after all.
But I have a feeling Sakazuki was using haki when he struck Ace, wasn't he?
no not really, that would make what sakazuki said unnecessary

What was it he said? That lava was stronger than fire? :o It's unlikely, but that might have just been his own arrogance.
But yeah, I think ice>snow.
No, why should he say magma can burn fire? When he is using Haki?
If you know haki you are always using it anyway.

Really? :o I thought that armament haki and supreme king haki had to be "activated". Otherwise, Luffy would always be super intimidating and would overpower the will of everyone he looked at.

They have to be activate, but armament haki not necessarily turns your arm black all the time, it mostly that invisible armor.

Erm…yes, but that's not what I was talking about.
Lets say everytime Sakazuki or any haki user punches someone there is haki coating.

That is part of Conqueror's haki; it's that once the potenial has been unlocked it needs to be controled. It is literay rhe power of his presence.Check the scene when Shanks visit's Whitebeard's ship and is knocking out his crew. Think of it more like uncovering an already lit lantern more than turning on an electric torch.

Yes, I know that. I'm not the one you should be trying to convince. ^^' it was KageKageKing who said Haki is always on.

Oh, sorry if I wasn't clear but I'm agreeing with him.
Haki is always on but you need to concentrate to channel it effectively. With CoA it's the difference between moving your fist and throwing a punch, but with CoA & CoQ the need is to mute it so that they don't overwhelm themselves or others constantly.
Haki is more like Luffy's inherent rubberiness than Jozu turning into diamond.

nods Good analogy.
Let's talk fruits, or devil fruits.
We've known for over a year that fruits respawn after their user dies, into a close fruit, but do we know that it has to be one kind of fruit? That if Kaku died near a bunch of apples, the next Girafe fruit would be an apple, and not the closest banana? I'm guessing that it has to be an specific fruit, because if else, everyone would carry tons of cytrus fruit around, to kill devil fruit users and capture their powers.
Maybe this knwoledge is just available to top scientist, because is the fruit (har) of Vegapunk's research, but eventualy someone would have realized "Oh, I killed the user of the fire fruit, and this mellon I've got turned into a devil fruit, with fire on it!". People die in this world, just not when we are seeing them. So, no one in a pirate filled world has happened upon on killing a devil fruit user while having fruits near and in his or her control? Considering that most battles must be at sea, and if someone boards your ship, you are in the losing side, and you must also have fruit in the hold, even with a devil fruit power, that ship is probably done for.
Or something like Brook's case, but if his fruit was different, the pirates attacked, took all the food and left them to die, so his power would have transfered to the closest ship or island with the right fruit?
Well, if I happened upon this secret, I'd keep it secret.
Acording to the wiki, and my own memory, we've seen 8 devil fruits in the manga and 1 more in a game. (I'll include him, because it was one of those designed by oda, and shares the same weird "pseudocanon" space that Shiki and Z share)
So, fruits and their counterparts:
Gum - Japanesse Melon (the weird green round one)
Bara - Pineapple
Soap - Western Melon? Avocado?
Girafe - Banana
Darkness - ??? Grapes? a giant berry? The leaves on top seem closer to berries
Axotol - Apple
Flame - Japanesse Melon (I think?)
OP OP - Peach
Vampire - Tomato
So, just one bite would transfer the power to the user, leaving the rest to be a disgusting fruit. Let's say that the Ball Ball (one of the weird marine captains) fruit is a Grape, with the Girafe fruit we saw that the bunch of bananas were the 3 of them had the power, so a grape bunch would also be filled with the power, so the conection remains, the grape bunch would be the same, if there was a lone grape who got the power, would it transfer back to it's source, be it a bunch or a tree? If this conection must be physical (as it makes sense), then a whole tree can become devil fruits for a moment, if it's the closest? Or maybe the fruit must be cut off but still fresh?
So, this conection, that there is in a moment multiple sources of the power, but once one is consumed, the rest will be useless, so did anyone try to sell the other 2 bananas, or something similar? The identification process include something more that "it has swirls, it has a weird aura, it taste like shit"?
TLDR: My conclusions on how the devil fruit transfer process work:
Hmm… I don't know about this.
The canon on devil fruits has changed since the beginning of One Piece. In the beginning, it was a fruit from a devil tree...
Anyways, from what I recall, this fact about devil fruit transferring to the nearest fruit was just recently discovered. Blackbeard was the first person we saw do it. Why has it been unknown for so long? Because devil fruit users aren't terribly common and they don't die easily. If they do die, it's in the middle of the sea.
Regarding the fruit transfer, I think it can transfer to any fruit, not jut one that looks right. Maybe the shape of said fruit changes when the devil inhabits it, so it ends up looking banana-like, even if it inhabited a pear or apple.
I wonder where the Nagi Nagi is.
I couldn't resist googling it…
Curse these spoilers. Aah well.
Anyways, how many devil fruit users have actually died over the course of the series? I feel like there are very few actual deaths in One Piece.
(How many times did we think Mr.3 was dead?)
It changed in the translation, I've recently asked stephen, and the change is in the translation (Viz volumes talk about "the fruit of the gum gum tree" in the early volumes, but that's just a weird way to say "the gum gum fruit". In Romance Dawn and stuff, when Garp was a pirate, and there was outright magic spells, yes, that was it, but now, there's no reason to think it.
About the morphing fruits, it might make sense, but then, why marines don't have a butload of one kind of fruit near excecution platforms? Why Caesar had just apples, and why oda chose a fruit that wouldn't transform beyond the swirlies to showcase this effect? It is not definitive in either way, but the evidence supports the "specific fruit" more than "any fruit"

Only unacounted fruit is Corazon's. Smiley's is still in punk hazzard. The other two dead users already have new owners.

I'm more inclined to Apples being the default fruit of Devil Fruits thus making a symbolism to Adam and Eve and the whole knowledge deal, we do know that Devil Fruit have their own lineage going on too.
