New Greg Column is up, it’s been a few days though.

https://one-piece.com/special/greg/detail/20230224_1311.html?l=en

German went with "is", French went with "se" and Spanish went with "mo".
Interesting choices all over the board, but a kinda falls flat in comparison, the more I think about it.

Lots of cameos of people I thought I would never see again, first of all Smoker is back on the sea, riding his bike. Kinda reminds me of Kuzan riding his on the sea. So maybe ... ?
Anyways Krieg, Pearl and Gin are back in action, next up is Arlong and Kuro, right?

The giants clearing the escape path and doing something useful was nice, most marines don't stand a chance against them, so I'm glad to see some of the Vice Admirals stepping up and going after them and damaging their ship, so will the giants make it out alive?

Showing Dragon, Koby, Bepo, Sabo and Teach is nice, also Vivi with Morgans and Weapon reacting to the message. It seems like Wapol knows more, he is seemingly sweating, so I am curious if it's something Cobra told Sabo or is it something new?

Broadcast is over, I doubt it tbh, but I wouldn't be mad if it's truly over, guess in a few hours from now we will find out what's gonna happen next.

New Greg column is up, he talks a bit about Dadan and says that Elbaf might be around the next corner.

I think for Chopper they might do a reverse, use a outcast human who ate a reindeer fruit, would help them to keep the budget in check.
Though I would love to see them do the original story, reindeer with a human fruit.

1 week to go, I cannot wait for the LA to come out.

@Captain-M I watched your videos back to back.
There's an improvement on your delivery but the script being up on the TV, was a bad idea, IMO.
Your set-up looks good, I like the background, I'm a sucker for a "library" set-up.
I'm not sure how you can improve on speaking more freely, besides improving with each new chapter and trying to go off the script every once in a while. If you stick with it, I'm sure it will come naturally in due time. Also don't worry about your equipment, the sound and video quality is fine.

@funebre
For anyone interested on the topic of Greg's new column, it goes over the 50 Mark 3 and their possible role in the arc, he makes a comparison to the usual allies the Straw Hats befriend, not sure if he's joking around, but Mohji and Kuma both have ear shaped hair, so maybe they are related, Nami discovering jewellery might help in slowing down Kizaru, cause of their physical property of refracting light/distorting them. Imagine 7 Kizarus showing up, cause the "white" light got split up.

Anyways glad to have his columns back, I think he mentioned that they are going to be released biweekly. Hope this is the start of it.

@Captain-M
I think Stephen had a nice theory on the livestream of the last OPP.
He draws some Katakana and Hiragana and explains along what different reading they get.
Maybe it’s worth a watch for you guys, who are interested in Imu’s name and what it could mean.

Starts around the 2 hours mark.

Another Greg column is up, small thoughts on the Kizaru vs Luffy fight and that all Straw Hats are stronger compared to two years ago.

@flandrian15
As far as I understand the cause of Toriyamas death.
He died of a acute subdural hematoma, a condition in which blood collects between the skull and brain.
So essentially hitting his head somewhere, thinks nothing of it and dies.
This can happen to anyone and has nothing to do with being overworked or any other kind of illness. Simply and accident which can happen to anyone at any point in one’s life.

New Greg Column is up!

Greg talks briefly about Bonney being a child, he highlights that when she was captured by Teach she was shown as an adult and while covered in sea water she was a child.
Greg also makes the connection that the Drums of Liberation and Luffy's "red" attacks might be the power source Vegapunk is looking for.
The ancient robot might start, with a simple command by Luffy.

Another being is my best guess, maybe similar to what Gustang summoned before.
I'm going with just the three dragons, cause that what Leviathan said to Bam, but who knows maybe Bam gets all, though I would dislike this.
Leviathan, Valhalla and whatever the last one's name is gonna be, is more than enough of a power up for Bam.

Gosh, I love that series and the characters. The good guy turning into a "bad" guy, is a cool twist.
This makes me want to know what happened during the war. I guess we will learn that eventually, right?

You all sound like Oda has a foot in the grave.
The man is sick, let him rest. We cannot due anything about it.
Anyways to all the ones saying he should go monthly.
Can't remember where Greg said it, but Oda enjoys the weekly hustle and he can go on break whenever he wants to, because One Piece is so big. It's not like Shueisha is forcing him to do 3 chapters in a row and then go on break. Oda is forcing/pushing himself to do that.

Might have been a SGS, where I have asked this question.

I don't think its meant to be a fight between the two.

At the moment, we have Gustang & his golem, Traumerei & his dragon-fiancé, Endiku & Bellerir and Bam, Endorsi is OOO.
I think it's more likely that Bam somehow gets away with Endorsi, maybe they get back to Khun and the blue fire will do the rest for Endorsi recovery.
I also think Khun needs to get his payback during the arc, he somehow has to one up Bellerir and Rachel for what they did to him during the start of the arc.

Meanwhile Endiku and Bellerir can go to the center and do whatever they wish to do. Probably pick up Rachel, have their confrontation with Khun and escape the sprout.

Bam will somehow free Traumerei's dragon-fiancé and absorb her power, so that Bam has 2/3 dragons from Traumerei.
Gustang and Traumerei could both die, technically one of them already died and was revived, but maybe their death will kick off the fall of the other family leaders and maybe move Jahad more into the focus.

Not what I expected, #8 origin is kinda good?
Though I still dislike the other monster trope for #9.

Flashback time with Aki and Power.
Not sure what will enlighten Denji, but damn Asa and Yoru are perfect for him.
Asa hitting "herself" so Yoru switches out is cool, kinda reminds me of another series where this happened, but I can't pin point which it is.
Anyways awesome chapter.

@Kdom
I somehow expect that this won't work like it's intended by V.
At least that's me coping, I hated it with Obito and I am sure to hate it with Bam, if something like that will happen.

V, Leviathan and Endiku are all inside Bam, next to join is Amizu/Valhalla.
Whatever is going on with V I am curiously optimistic about the arc, one of the family leaders has to fall and Bam might get his hands on Valhalla like Leviathan foretold Bam awhile back.
That Holan is still somehow conscious is baffling I thought he would be mindless maybe he is and he is just reacting to what’s going on around him.

@Shiebs
Maybe he pays his respects to Alabasta and goes and “rescues” Vivi from Morgans.
On a more serious note he could either be towing someone huge like Weevil or Moria or a Poneglyph it does not have to be the last one missing for the crew, but maybe just one he found while going around.

Regarding Smoker, have we seen him react to the broadcast?

Yeah, but one of them used Necromancy to summon his beasts and when I saw the last Dragon, my gut feeling told me its Amizu and Gustang had the same idea once he saw it.
I wonder what he can summon, could Gustang summon someone like a Jahad or Eldan in their "prime" or dead people like Amizu and V?

The lore at the start of the chapter was cool, the 10 Great Families deserve a story of their own.
