RE: Chapter 439 "Third One and Seventh One" Discussion
I'm not really happy about Tashigis new look, I thought her old one kind of promoted that "innocent dorkyness" thing that worked with her personality, now she just kind of looks….manly?

Wow….odas artstyle really has changed.....I barely recognized Tashigi

RE: Franky's dad
I think it's an intriguing theory; they do look very similar-perhaps a brother? There’s still much we don't know, and Oda could tie some of the stories together in a sense!
As usual though, Minatek trolled around with her thesaurus and stating personal opinions like irrefutable manga facts. Stop being such a thread kill, seriously.

RE: How much has Luffy improved?
???
…
I'm sorry, what's this I just slashed out of your comment? The first line read, "to defending myself" which is already a curiously constructed sentence as is, but to my utter surprise the rest of the paragraph had nothing to do with said "defending".
Ok, let me spell this out for you: When people get hit on a constant basis -they become more resilient. When people dodge on a constant basis -they become more agile. You see where I'm going with this? This is not restricted to One Piece, it's a fact of life.
Someone who is constantly in fights their entire life (or even for a few years) is a hell of a lot stronger, able to take more punishment, quicker, and better at doing damage then someone who isn't.

RE: How much has Luffy improved?
Your claim of being able to identify the increase of strength in One Piece is only exceeded by your seemingly low reading comprehension. Tell me, are you deliberately trying to make me chuckle, or is that post of yours just some unfortunate travesty?
What I outlined is utterly fundamental, much more verifiable that silly normative "feelings" or "impressions"; to clarify for the simple minded, "outlets" mean reference points. "If one has the strength to throw boulders, how can one demonstrate said strength without a boulder to throw?
This is what I call the: "lets utilize my vocabulary to make my statement seem more legitimate" response. Except it doesn’t, and nether does your insults.
As to defending myself, are you kidding me? You might as well make a poll titled “Has Luffy gotten stronger since the beginning of One Piece?” Talk about dumb questions. I don’t need to insult you, you’ve insulted yourself enough already.

RE: How much has Luffy improved?
Luffy's strength, agility, and endurance hasn't increased at all. He's probably still where he was in East Blue, only in Grand Line there are a lot more outlets for expressing his old abilities. The same applies for every other Straw Hat except Zoro and maybe Usopp.
I'm sorry, no.
Speed, strength and endurance have all increased by incredible amounts.
Sorry I just have to quote this one again:
He's probably still where he was in East Blue, only in Grand Line there are a lot more outlets for expressing his old abilities.
I mean come on, you seriously typed that with a strait face?

RE: The "Luffy will OHKO Jimbei upon arival" thread
The secound Croc was wet, a single Bazooka really did major damage to him. This was before Gear 2 Bazooka and he did not have Tekkai. Sorry, with gear 2 in play (or even without, he still has soru) Luffy completely owns his old enemys. I mean christ, Luffy himself states that hes "happy he met these guys here" and how hes become so much stronger.
I don't find it hard to believe at all he could beat Jimbei easily.[/quote
then why didnt he easily beat lucci? we all know that cp9 is no where near schicbukai level. If he had a hard time with them hes going to have a real hard time with JINBEI.
Oh my, now this statement intrests me….where does it say that the CP9 are all no where near Schicbukai level?

RE: The "Luffy will OHKO Jimbei upon arival" thread
@Le:
Enel was actually a rather easy fight that got delayed. Croc, on the other hand, would require some source of water of course, and even then, Croc could still beat up Luffy. That's not saying that Luffy can't beat him, granted, but putty? This isn't Dragonball Z where villains are automatically stronger than the last despite the last one.
I would rather think Cliche, because defeating one of the strongest men out there, he'll just tear through everyone else before he even gets there.
Since when was Jimbei compared in Strengh to Dragon, Blackbeard, any of the Four Emperors, Admirals….need I go on? Luffy still has plenty of challenging oponents even if he could beat Jimbei.

RE: The "Luffy will OHKO Jimbei upon arival" thread
I dont think that luffy will be able to OHKO croc, croc smashed luffy 2 times and luck was on his side. I dont think hes on the level to OHKO the hollwood pirates (yonkou and schibukai). or OHKO any of them. luffy just some punk that gets lucky.
The secound Croc was wet, a single Bazooka really did major damage to him. This was before Gear 2 Bazooka and he did not have Tekkai. Sorry, with gear 2 in play (or even without, he still has soru) Luffy completely owns his old enemys.

RE: Chapter 435 " I Can Guess How You're Feeling" Discussion
Am I the only one really dissapointed by Sanji, Franky and Nami's bounties? Sanji owned a trainload of marines (including the leaders of CP6 and CP7), caused the Buster Call ships to engage in friendly fire AND defeated Jyabura yet his bounty is only slightly higher than Zoro's first. How in the hell is defeating Das Bones - a wanted villain- and taking on some nameless Baroque Works guys more threatening to the marines than DIRECTLY attacking the World Government? And on that note, why did Zoro's bounty freaking double if he didn't even do half as much as Sanji?
Nami's bounty is also an eye-brow raiser. She defeated a Cipher Pol 9 member yet her bounty isn't even half that of freaking Sarquiss. It's lower than the bounty Luffy got for defeating Arlong!! Just what the fuck did Sarquiss do that's more of a threat to the world than assaulting and defeating a high ranking government assasin? And how in the hell is Franky's burning of the Pluton blueprints and defeat of two CP9 members les of a crime than Zoro defeating Das Bones? 44 Million is way too low for a guy who matched Base Luffy.
Unless Oda's implying Nami's weaker than Don Krieg, Franky's weaker than Bellamy and Zoro is nearly twice as strong as Sanji, bounties mean absolutely nothing now.
Because shes female. Comon now, this is a Japanese manga.

RE: The "Luffy will OHKO Jimbei upon arival" thread
I don't understand why everyone finds this so unbelieveable or is against this, if you go back and look at his old villans, Luffy could easily OHKO most of them now, Kreig, Arlong? They would be like putty, same thing goes for Eneru and Croc. Whos to say Jimbei is all that much stronger then Arlong?
Plus, why is everyone against this to begin with? Showing how powerful Luffys gotten that the once great 7 Gods of Pirate are defeated easily by him would be one of the most awesome things this series has ever done.

The "Luffy will OHKO Jimbei upon arival" thread
So who’s with me that in this upcoming short and sweet (hopefully) arc Luffy will -much in the same spirit as the Jaya or Wisky Peak mini arcs- drop Jimbei like it's hot within a few powerful blows.
Lets face it, Luffy is in with the big boys now, and he needs a few chapters to really put his new martial power in perspective (not like Oda hasn't done so in the past)
Cue hundreds of merman running and screaming "OMG it's 300m Straw Hat Luffy and his crew of cutthroats! They will kill us all!"
I think yes.
Heres a visual for you, just replace guy on bottom with Whale Shark Merman:

RE: Pirate Summit: The History of the Term
Of course there is a Pirate summit, otherwise ace would have said "I'll meet you when you get to the top" or "I'll meet you at the end of the Grand Line" or "we will meet again when you are as powerful as me"
No, he said "We will meet again at the Pirate Summit"

RE: Blackbeard weapon speculation thread
@Private:
Hasn't Blackbeard been in the sea water before?
No, the Knock up Stream blew there ship to peices, but all you saw was them rideing on a log of it in the next chapter, definitly not proff that he swam in sea water.

RE: So when Luffy becomes Pirate King or when the series end…
I sure hope so, it would be like the Return to the Shire in the LOTR series, that makes the entire thing worth it when you see the Hobits go back to their roots and how much god damn cooler they are then everyone in their hometown now. They seriously ruined the movies by not including that, and the biggest crime was they had TIME to! the ending was god damn 30 minutes.
-
RE: Ener, Kuro, Arlong, Kreig, Croc?
Sure, they all will meet again at the Pirate Summit! Both Enel and Ace pretty much said somthing along those lines.

RE: Blackbeard weapon speculation thread
As I was the first one to mention this about Black Bear (does anyone read my posts) I think you guys are focusing to much on mammals. Three claw marks you say? Anyone ever thing about a reptilian zoan? A dinosaur zoan even?
However, I do think Blackbear D. Teach would be awesome. Same goes for sloths, it's unfortunate that sloths are so slow, because I think that would really make a wicked looking Zoan transformation, or any Edentata for that matter.
(Edentata is the family of mammals that primarily eats insects, I.E sloths, ant eaters, Pangolins, Armadillos, aardvarks ect…..)
Pangolin zoan, how awesome would that be?
However, I really think that Oda has played his zoan type enemy card. I think Teach will ether have a really, really awesome Paramacia(likely in my opinion) or may not have any fruit power at all.
Can't picture him with a logia ether, already two major enemy arcs with that.
-
RE: Blackbeard weapon speculation thread
I think there are several possibilitys:
1: Claw like weapon. (I can't see this though, the thought of that big dude with little itty claw weapons0
2. Zoan fruit (possible, perhaps a lion or a bear fruit, in which case can you imagine a bear version of the already huge ass Blackbeard? Blackbeard the Blackbear? or it may be another animal I haven't even thought of)
3. His fingers man
4. He uses a single bladed scimitar like that classy pirate he is, and he just cuts so fast he slashed his face thrice before he could react.
5. Somthing to do with a Logia or a Paramacia DF, though I find that hard to picture…an elemant that leaves scars of that sort?
6. The knives in fingers is always possible as well, be cool if he could throw them.

RE: Chapter 435 " I Can Guess How You're Feeling" Discussion
I think the question everyone needs to realisticly ask themselves is, is this really going to go on for another 10 years? And if it does, will we still even be reading it? I mean, thats going from age 20-30 for alot of us.
I would be happy to see this series end in three years, he dosen't need any new islands or enemys, Blackbeard, whitebeard, Shanks, Flamingo/Bart Bear, Mihawk, 3 admirals, 5 elder stars, "Budda" dude -there are just so many people they can already fight and make great arcs out of! And Dragon, what about Dragon? Theres at least 3 years already of unresolved crazy crap! Theres no need for anything else I say!
Theres already to many to count, no more! Lets see some baddass fights between the Rulers of the Grandline! oh yeah, and Luffy is totally going to OHKO Jinbei, hes moving above and beyond those noob 7 gods.

RE: The Picture of the Four Emperors
I think the silhouettes are as close as were ever going to get to those two emperors, Oda has so many characters and plot issues unresoved as it is we may never meet them.

RE: Enies Lobby Arc Question (Warning, Spoilers may ensue)
I'm not the best when it comes to memory, but has the straw hat crew ever actually killed anyone?
Anyone ever proven to be dead without a doubt in the series what-so-ever? (and I don't mean Gold Rodger, I mean somone who was alive to begin with)
-
RE: Beginning of the end?
I saw 200 more chapters, no way this will go on another 10 years, I mean, I wish it would, but I doubt it will.
Still, he takes so long to tell stories these days, have you gone back and looked at the first 100 chapters? The buggy stories, albida, the who Don Kreig thing, the whole thing with Ussop and the sick girl and Captain Kuro, the who Arlong thing! And the first part of the Grand Line! He could actually constuct a plot and a story without taking 2 years to tell it back then.

RE: About Gold Rogers Weapon, once and for all! (SPOILER INSIDE)
This argument is rediculous. Yes there was a pirate called Woodes Rogers who used a spear. Yet strangely enough, he did not have the power to transform into lightning, an animal, or stretch his body by impossible lengths. Nor did any of the other real life figures whos names some characters may or may not be based on.
Oda has never stated Gold Rodgers used a spear, in fact, he has never stated he used a weapon what so ever, so we don't know. Heres an argument thats about as legtimate as this one: heres a link to a real article on the famous Pirate Black Sam Bellamy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_BellamyWho (most likely is) the inspriration for Bellamy the Hyena. And yet….!!!!!:
Theres no mention of the real life Bellamy having the ability to coil his legs into a spring and defeat his opponents by jumping on them to death!! Impossible! What does this mean? It means quite simply gentleman, then we have apsolutly no clue what so ever what weapon Gold Rodgers may or may not used.
Case closed.

RE: Chapter 434 "White Beard and Red Hair" Discussion
I really wish people would stop calling it a "spear" it's ether a Glaive or a Naginata, which are weapons of a much different concept then a "spear".

RE: Has Garp ever tried to teach Luffy Rokushiki?(Possible Spoilers)
Sorry private Zulan, but why did you go through that entire pictorial escapade when if only you had looked a few chapters earlier (in the manga AND the anime) and seen that Luffy CAN KEEP UP WITH SORU WITHOUT GEAR 2.
I think the real question here is did Garp create Rokushiki>?
