@Ichnob:

This is a really bad idea.

1. Dry ice needs water to go from solid to gas to get the billowy effect. Also, it will only fall down due to being heavier than air, not up.
2. The ice WILL BURN. ESPECIALLY AGAINST YOUR SKIN. You are not supposed to handle it without some sort of heavy protection. A plastic bag and thin layer of fabric will not be enough.

The only way I've seen it done is to get pillow/stuffing batting or many wads of cotton balls to get the "steam" look, and personally, I did not think it looked good. But seriously, dry ice near your body = bad idea.
goes back to lurking for 4 months

yea.. I was thinking of putting the dry ice in pockets, not directly onto my skin, dont worry ;-)

second possibility: I found a video on homemade smoke bombs… but it might be illegal in my country =(

Nice theory Pharier.

I'm really itching to see the awesomeness of timeskip Straw-hats displaying their upgraded skills for so long.. and this keeps dragging from the history of Fishmen Island and all….zzzzzzzz

Back on this chapter:

Initially when Hody was slashed by Zoro in a single slash, I was like oh crap this is too weak for a main villian! Not surprisingly, he was upgraded by a few pills and now he has transformed/evolved.

I think, the differences between Rumble Ball and that steroids is that, RB deals with Devil Fruit powers, where as steroids generally make anyone, be it DF users or not, stronger.

so perhaps overdose adn side effect of the drug for fishes, or fishmen in this case, made them stronger. fuses the element (water) of hodi and gives him the ability to produce water. I would really like to see Jinbe own Hody's water based powers, since Jinbe's true mastery of Fishmen Karate allows that.

On the capture of Jinbe, I guess he did it on purpose, as this is a plan devised by him and straw-hats.

I also do not think Luffy will be saving zoro et al, as Brooke is gonna manage to set them free. Instead, Sanji could be planning something....

Also, VDD's throwing of Noah proves my hunch of him destroying FI, and not Luffy. As Mdm Shirley's prediction only saw someone with a STRAW HAT, that doesnt mean Luffy. AND because of her taunt to Hody, Hody will wanna rip off Luffy, FORCING Luffy to settle him. True that Luffy has no reason to fight Hody, but if Luffy regards the Shira-zzzz princess as a friend (cus he killed her mom), and Hody hunting Luffy down, or maybe do things to Luffy's crewmates to make luffy fight him, I think he might fight Hody.

It will be major LOL if Noah came to the princess but instead it smashes on all the 10, 000 outlaws. LOLLLLLLLLLLL

Hi Everyone,

I have been missing from this forum for 3 - 4 years now.. away from discussing One Piece but am still active in reading it.

Anyway, I was gonna prepare for Halloween and I am really intrigued in dressing as Luffy in his new attire after the timeskip.

However, there is something else I want to do, which is to emit steam to portray his gear 2 form, NOW THAT WILL BE AWESOME..!!

I have searched all over the web and this forum but cant find of anyone that done it before, if anyone were to come across people doing gear 2, please send the links here?

Alternatively, I have theorized one idea, which is to use dry ice. However, to preserve dry ice is a challenge, and WHERE to put the dry ice.

I am actually thinking of vacuuming them, putting small pieces of dry ice in pocket sized vacuumed plastic packs and put in little compartments in the Luffy costume. After which when I decided to go into gear 2, i simply poke a hole or tear the packs and voila! STEAM!!!!!

Does anyone think this will work?

oh ok i get it.

hmm basically i think the formation of shichibukai…..

no specific ones, just that the pirate must be strong, powerful, and loyal to the government.

isnt it?

eh, when is black beard a sichibukai?

he got tied up cus theres an explosion and he didnt realise luffy is behind him already.

anyway back to the topic, we've seen how persistent luffy can be, same for his shadow….

defeating odz is a big headache

pardon me i mean tied up, not stranded.

u see at first we thought, "shit he can predict, how are luffy and sanji gonna have any chances??"

but we see luffy tying him up and in the end still gets it from sanji.

NO he can still predict when he is being tied up by luffy, he is defeated because he cannot dodge the attacks, not because he has lost the power of prediction.

I am compraing this wif odz, so if they got a chance to strike him in a full powerful shot, I think odz will go down.

remember the ball priest from skypiea?

even when he can predict the moves of the opponent, its still useless when he is stranded..

I'm guessing luffy will fight moria and that is the way to end it…

maybe luffy will give moria a bazokka and send him flying into the sea, haha!

@bedrock:

Guess you are right here, no pumping for Odz…
Nevertheless one might reason what happens to his body while exerting a fighting style that is largely based on the indestructability of rubber - extreme stretching and speed moves should put an insane strain on his giantic body. Perhaps he´ll be so nice to destroy/cripple himself even without pumping.

As for the "use fire" idea I see the same problem as with the salt, you´d need a crazy lot of fire for Odz just to notice...

I agree too..

I doubt monster Chopper will be out, even if he does, he can at most take a few blows and give Odz a few strong blows, but I dun think its enough to take him odz down.

however Robin might haf an idea on how to beat him, as she has a "huh?? this is Odz?? dun tell me…" scenario somewhere...

@WeAllEatFood:

Eh, I still find it a nice change of pace. Personally, 2 chapters devoted to the SH's getting their asses kick doesn't sound all that fun to read through. I mean, Oda's chapters already have twice the amount of content than what the average jump series's has. (See: Bleach)

I find that Oda is having a good time creating an ultra powerful character to wreck his strawhats… seems fun destroying smthg you've created with another you've created, hahahaha
