I began watching One Piece in 2007 and after watching every episode released until that time I began to read the manga. I think the anime was about to begin the Thriller Bark saga, so I started to read the manga since that arc. The last chapter released in those days was the one with Luffy absorbing the shadows to became Nightmare Luffy. I remember the first week that I had to wait for a new chapter, it was eternal.

@Jane:

this really doesn't make sence. Shanks said that he got his scar from blackbeard, right?
then how come in http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/1/07/ back when luffy was a kid, he has a scar????

plus, there r scares in his jolly rogers, whcih would indicate that he had these scares for a REALLY logn time, and rather proud of it…

He travelled the grand line before meeting luffy, it's possible that he fought with blackbeard when he was in WB crew.

I have a crazy theory (?)

East blue: 100 chapters
Grand line: 500 chapters
New World: 500 chapters

@kaidou123:

What bothers me is that what if some marines/slaves/workers on robin's island notice her, they will be like "hey that's the 80,000,000 million nico robin!!!". Im sure alot of people will notice her and might turn her to the marines. Somehow i got a feeling that kuro(if he's still alive or if he is still on the east blue), krieg(same as kuro), or someone in the east blue that luffy defeated or meet will save her intentionally or accidentally if she will be captured by the marines.

Wow, I wish we could see Krieg again! It's possible that the defeated crew was captured and sent there.

@Kaizoku's:

was it already speculated that the island that sanji is now the island where mr 2 came from, and he might gain some of his techniques being there

hey, thats really possible!!! I haven't thought about that before

This theory would explain Mr. 2 transexual appareance

@dewagila:

for me:
1. luffy is son of dragon and garp is luffy's grandfather
2. aokiji says to robin, that ohara is not dead yet … it is more like a hope to robin

but that wasn't last year…

All the year was great and everything was a surprise… When TB was finishing, I thought that the next place was fishman island and now we are at Impel Down trying to rescue ace with the help of buggy after the suddenly split up of the crew WTF?!

I think this was the best year of one piece, but if I have to say one moment that was a surprise is the split up of the straw hats
