Why is Tama taming gifters/smile users with her ability even a topic to argue about?

She was literally introduced in the first chapter of the arc for this sole purpose.

Why is it a problem? The entirety of the series has had characters like this.. Which have been pointed out numerous times.

The allies have have been, and still are out numbered, it takes no tension away from the over all stakes.
An entire island is about to drop on Wano and potentially massacre the population..
A few fodder characters to help turn the tides and help out the crew so they can 1v1 the officers is not a big deal..
Is that not what we all want to see anyway?

You're upset and arguing over personally preferences on how you'd like the story written.

@kevo_koma:

As for general zombies and jurors, we didn't spend 2 arcs hearing how they were really one of the main things that made that particular group "strong".

To the Pirates an WG outside of Wano, who will likely never reach or try to enter Wano, those gifters are a main force to be feared.. An army of hundreds of fruit users backed by thousands of foot soldiers.

And, they still are/have been for years in Wano up till this point. I don't see the issue.

Did you expect an 8 year old to travel Wano and tame them all before hand? Or think Hitetsu would let her before all this happened?

Law didn't know she existed when he formulated the plan, or had even been to Wano yet.

@kevo_koma:

Take a 2 month break from One Piece. Come back and binge the 5 chapters that will be out and maybe the story will be better for you that way.I think that's the best solution if you want to enjoy a story that's told in piecemeal over months and years.

that's what I do. not that i enjoy the story any less on a weekly basis.. but when you've been reading it for years it does drag for some readers. taking a break for 2-5 months and coming back is actually quite nice.

every arc has its highs and lows.. some people just choose to complain because they've invested so much time into it and feel let down for whatever reason.

so far, wano has been kept me anticipating the next chapter each week, which whole cake island did fail to do.

@Greg:

Basically it gets people upset. Oda loves to troll his readers. Partly because it's fun. Partly because it helps create discussion and buzz. And partly because it can make a given end result even better than we thought it would be.

This is so accurate and spot on to so many plot points and it's really sad that there are people who can't see this and continue to rag on Oda and the direction he takes the story.

@ITaeyeon:

Luffy will be inside the cake. Or inside a stainless pan that has turkey or chicken in it.. but already down to the bones. lole

No way. Luffy will be inside Bege.

Luffy's gonna hide in, and then pop out of Bege! I've waited so long for this to happen.

@Nisemono:

Thanks 4 the explanation.
Hope you can solve your problems soon, a DCE (Digital Colored Edition) torrent would be great. Torrent for the RAWs was recently lost aswell.

BTW, Galaxy, any news about the translation of the last 3 volumes?
Thank you :)

No problem.

I was informed that the DCC volumes are all up on Manga Traders. From what I can see they actually date back to before I was even thinking about making a torrent, and most likely have all credit pages. I believe they're all .zip files that can be downloaded a volume at a time. You may or may not need to sign up, I can't remember.

@RomanceDawn:

I realized everything Jinbe tried to do came up short and it was always an attempt at doing something for someone else.

That really resonated with me and I felt like Jinbe is the type of guy who deserves a break to accomplish his goals and being a Straw Hat is the best bet.

The thing about Jinbe is, I don't think we were supposed to consider him crew mate material when he was first introduced with Ace in Impel Down. But, through the initial escape and bond he made with Luffy through it, the war, and F.I we got a sense of how he has been trying to work towards other people dreams and goals. I.E Fisher Tiger and Otohime, by uniting their people and making it possible to have a life above and really just stop the racism towards his people in general. That's what really cemented the idea that to accomplish that and what other dreams he may have, traveling Luffy and joining the crew would be possible. Once he got more of a back story and said he would join after he took care of some things (Linlin), Everything else would fall into place and he'd join. To me, He's been part of the crew since the end of the war, tbh. I expected Luffy to ask him during F.I. And now that we're in the climax of WCI there's really no reason for him not to unless Oda feels like killing him off to show the terror of the N.W.. Which I really doubt will happen.

People will always nitpick about potential crew mates, it's been that way for years.. But for those who actually know the series.. There's really no denying it once they've been introduced.

If Tsuru's ability is to wash away the evil in people, why didn't she use it on Doffy when he was chained with sea stone cuffs on the boat after Dressrosa?

@Long:

Well stephen might use Cigawet. ;) hahahaha but yeah probably will be something instead of moist

Bahahaha!
This just made my whole day. Thank you

@Count:

The OP mistook the translator's name as the chapter title. It's supposed to be Moist Cigarette.

Hahah, I see!
When I came on here and saw a new chapter I was hoping Sengoku's goat made a comeback!

"Moist Cigarette" sounds gross though, lol.
And the MS title "Tab End" doesn't sound OP like at all.
Sure hope Viz goes with "Wet"..
