I feel like the model we saw in Ohara wasn't actually showing six moons or however many there were around the planet, but was a geocentric model of the One Piece solar system. It would answer why we have only seen one moon in the sky, because the other "moons" are actually planets and they aren't orbiting the One Piece world. This doesn't address the problem of time between full moons, but it does explain the number of moons.

RE: One Piece Geography
I just have a feeling that the model in Ohara is a 3D geocentric model of the one piece solar system. Especially because one of the "moons" has a smaller moon orbiting it.
Thats our solar system

RE: Chapter 787: "4 minutes"
Probably already said, but I'm pretty sure that the sparkles or whatever Fujitora "sees" are just the visual cue that Oda is giving the reader to let us know fuji notices the cage changing speeds, which makes me think he may help Zoro next chapter.

RE: Understanding Emotions
To me friendship is when you feel comfortable around another person, whose criticism/input you trust. Love doesn't exist. I have been "in love" and its not a real emotion… in my experience several people have told me, "you'll know what [love] is when you experience it" and I can pretty much guarantee it's not a real thing. I feel that what many people describe as "love" is actually an extremely deep form of friendship. Maybe all the people who tell me what love is have cliched definitions and there is some deeper meaning that neither they nor I understand, but from my experience they are essentially the same thing…

RE: Volume 71 Predictions
Yeah, I guessed that. Just from the way you phrased the first part, it sounded to me as if Oda had actually drawn Absalom somewhere in a panel during the war.
Thanks for translating though.^^
Also since Oda isn't specifing there, my concerns I had before are now vanished. Moriah & co. are sure to reappear. :P
Though I always guessed he got away by changing place with his shadow back then.Yeah! Sorry for the confusion :)
-
RE: Volume 71 Predictions
So there should be a panel somewhere in the beginning of the Marine Ford Arc, which has Absalom in it?
Well Doflamingo was trying to kill Moria at the end of the arc and the situation he described to where Moria disappeared happened off panel. So Absalom maybe somewhere in there, but I'm sure he would be invisible…
-
RE: Volume 71 Predictions
What about this?
Is it confirmed?The question asks if Abusa is Absalom. Then Oda answers yes and goes on to say how he actually appeared early during the Marineford. Oda says that Doflamingo mentioned him disappearing and then he says "I wonder what happend?" similar to the way he dealt with the 3 sake cups on Ace's grave question.
-
RE: Volume 71 Predictions
It says the reason Moria disappeared from Doflamingo's assassination attempt was because Absalom saved him.

RE: Chapter 714: "Lucy and Ucy"
I love the Miro references! Really cool, Oda's art knowledge runs deeper than just pop culture it seems. Also Nami looks very similar to Matisse paintings, and I think that the Sunny's new look is based on the Tower of the Sun, which is in Osaka
Oda has even gotten cooler, which I thought was impossible!

RE: Chapter 713 : "Usoland"
I loved the chapter. Obviously… About Fuji's fruit, if its anything other than a gravity paramecia then Oda's gonna have some splanin' to do (an "I Love Lucy" reference for all those who didn't get the whole Lucy-Ricky thing durring the colosseum chapters). There is almost no way it's a meteorite fruit since the first people we saw Fuji interact with weren't hit by a meteor and if its a space fruit, he really isn't creating or destroying space and gravity and space aren't inherently related anyway. ugh a rant not aimed at anyone in particular.

RE: Chapter 697: "Transaction"
in the translation i got he didn't talk about shichibukai at all,he just talked about a "deal"…my bad.
then probably he was just being cocky
I think the main difference is that now he doesn't have Caesar, which means Kaido will be mad at him as well as the government, where before he would still have been on good terms with Kaido even if he quit being a Shichibukai.

RE: Chapter 697: "Transaction"
No, he changed to claiming "admirals" as a general group of ranks instead, which isn't what CCC explained.
But he's still wrong.See, Japanese military rankings are separated into largely three ranks per class, each represented by small, medium, and large.
And the general "admiral classes" is the 将官 (shokan - a subset of shoguns).
Adding "small, medium or large" to this represents each class.
For example, 少将 which would be basically "small/lesser admiral/shougun" is the Rear Admiral, while 中将 "medium admiral/shougun" is the Vice Admiral.
大将 "grand admiral/shougun" is the Admiral, the highest ranking of the shokan/admiral class.
Law specifically said this grand admiral class, in plural. Unlike English, plural is represented by adding a whole another word, instead of a simple letter.In other words, if Law had said the "shokans will be after him", he woud have a case. That would mean the general admral classes as a whole.
But Law did not. He specifically said THE Admiral class, the grand admiral 大将 as a plural. In which case, it cannot represent the general admiral classifications as a whole. That is an English language issue brought on by the fact it uses the word "admiral" for both a single class AND representation of a whole class. It has no bearings on the Japanese case.There. That is a through explanation of Admiral/admiral class issue.
Thank you so much for just detailing this out! Reading the ridiculous arguments sure gets tiresome… I know that the response to this will probably be "Oda has made mistakes before, (insert the same example over and over again)," but hopefully this will clarify things substantially, to the point of accepting it wasn't a mistake... Also the amount of mistakes Oda makes is far less than the logical and creative connections he does make.

RE: Chapter 696 - Matching Interests
Chapter 600, the Straw Hats first meeting after the TS
Chapter 500, Silvers Rayleigh makes his entrance
Chapter 400, nothing extraordinary
Chapter 300, party chapter, nothing extraordinary
Chapter 200, nothing extraordinary
Chapter 100, The Straw Hats escape from Smoker (those were the days…), "make a wish" barrel scene.
50:50 chance I guess.
It's usually the x01 chapters that are the most important i think…
101, enter the Grandline
201, find out a little about Robin's past and Luffy loses to Crocodile
301, Poneglyph in Skypeia
401, CP9 vs Strawhat Pirates
501, Announcement that Ace is going to be executed by the World Government
601, Luffy redeclares he will be King of the Pirates as Rayleigh watches on.
now 201 and 401 clearly not as important, but i think the big chapters happen on the first chapter after the 100 mark usually...

RE: Chapter 694: A Very Dangerous Man
@DaJungKi DD didn't control Jozu he just stopped him, but he did control Atmos.

RE: Oda's INSPIRATION for One Piece
Now this may be a bit of a stretch but this is quite a famous song and KISS is huge in Japan (or was huge).
The lyrics in the first stanza of "I Love it Loud" are: "Stand up, you don't have to be afraid, get down - love is like a hurricane."
So I think the whole "love is like a hurricane" theme that Sanji, Nyon and Hancock say somewhat often comes from this song.

RE: Chapter 688: Mocha
Not names. Everything else can be translated but your name is only one. Otherwise and by your logic we would be calling Nami, something along the lines of Wave (Though I might be wrong because I don`t have idea how this name is written.)
I always thought Nami comes from 並 which means average, ordinary or normal but 波 (wave) is a more logical choice for sure…
-
RE: Chapter 688: Mocha
And the defender of justice and protector of the innocent came to tell me that my opinion is wrong? I have no problem with the flashback, or the kids, it's just that in my opinion this chapter is boring. This alone is no big problem, but last week's chapter wasn't very interesting either and next week we have a break. I would prefer it if this chapter also showed Law/Vergo/Smoker or Franky or Usopp/Brook/Kinemon or something more interesting so we have actual content to discuss for 2 weeks.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
So you accuse me of being shallow? I wish I was smart like you and I could judge people's character and behaviour based on 2 posts in a forum.
It's not that you opinion is wrong, it's just no one cares what you think or wants to read it. The things you say are not very insightful and don't really create any meaningful conversations about One Piece the arguments just boil down to "well, it's my opinion" or "that's your opinion." Certain opinions can be wrong by the way, not every opinion is a neutral statement that you can hide behind by just saying the word opinion over and over again.
Also no one called you shallow you just inferred that…

This is a really interesting podcast about the issue. It's not 100% on the topic, but it is mostly about it. The hosts of the show are comedians who love to play video games.

RE: Create Your Own Devil Fruit
While in class I made a list of Paramecia fruit in my notebook to pass the time. I have to say, Paramecia have to be the most difficult fruit to think up seeing as how they are based around objects and characteristics.
! 1. Goro Goro no Mi (Barrel-Barrel Fruit) [gorogoro is the sound of something rolling.]
! The user is able to transform any part of their body, mainly their chest/midsection, into a barrel. The user is immune to piercing weapons and attacks as the user is now hollowed out on the inside. The user is also allowed to store a seemingly unlimited amount of materials into their body by eating or opening their chest up.
! 2. Chapu Chapu no Mi (Splash-Splash fruit) [chapuchapu is the sound of splashing water]
! The user is able to convert any object or surface into a liquid state allowing them to move or 'swim' through it. The user is also able to manipulate the liquefied objects to their will allowing them to mold and move it as if it were water.
! 3. Saizu Saizu no Mi (Size-Size Fruit)
! Allows the user to grow or shrink non-living things by touching them. (excluding the one who consumed the fruit)
! 4. Muku Muku no Mi (Peel-Peel Fruit)
! Allows the user to shed their skin like a snake, allowing them to recover from wounds or adapt to a situation. By tearing or 'peeling' their skin off they can manipulate their body structure to anything they desire, or instinctively, to survive. Example: The user sheds their skin to reveal an iron body if they are injured by a foe using a blunt object.
! 5. Puri Puri no Mi (Stink-Stink Fruit) ['puripuri' is to smell strongly]
! Allows the user to control their own body odor and manipulate it to their will. The stench is given a gaseous appearance and can physically make contact with objects and people, but not vice versa.
! 6. Moko Moko no Mi (Soft-Soft Fruit ) ['mokomoko' is the sound of something soft and fluffy.]
! The user is able to grow very soft, thick and fluffy wool all over their body for warmth or protection.
! 7. Kira Kira no Mi (Gold Gold Fruit) [kirakira is the sound of something valuable sparkling]
! This fruit gives the user the power to turn anything they touch into solid gold. (this includes the user)
! 8. Kama Kama no Mi (Oven Oven Fruit)
! Turns the user into a furnace human, giving them an iron like body, allowing them to manipulate flames and be immune to them. However they can only manipulate flames that they create.Goro goro no mi is the name of Eneru's fruit.

because Aisa is using a very similar shaped weapon much later.

RE: What Are You Listening To Right Now ? [V2]
Were looking into Japanese prog-rock but stumbled on to this noise-rock band. Kinda like them. :)

also a kinda proggy band is Yura Yura Teikoku, especially their later albums.

RE: Chapter 681: "Luffy Vs. Master"
Maybe Monet has a yuki-onna DF (snow lady).
Aren't there old horror stories about female spirits who would lure people into snow refuges like that?
Yuki onna is actually not very old at all, it comes from a film called Kwaidan made in 1964, despite story being set in older times Yuki-onna originated int that film, but still its a good idea either way :)

RE: Last Two Nakamates (vol. 5)
I really like Kin'emon and I think it would be nice if he joined, but here is my main problem with him. He seems extremely focused on the swordsmanship aspect of his life. We already know that Zori is going to be the worlds best swordsman so to have Kin'emon on the crew, a man who really into swordsmanship, would seem to just play as a foil to Zoro. I could understand if he taught Zoro things and was a big part of the story, which he seems to be shaping up to be, but as a crew mate it seems like he would be completely overshadowed. I'm sure there are things that would change my mind that we may see, for example a flashback where he promises his son something that he needs to travel the seas to achieve, but for now, it seems like Kin'emon would be kind of redundant.

@Nex:
It would definitely be a cool way to bring the most random character into the story as a whole. After all, the whole Gaimon thing still feels really out of place…
It's just a random encounter that really feels like filler.I feel like the main point of the Gaimon thing was to show Nami that Luffy is different than most other pirates and he is actually a good guy. But in reference to the theory i think it would be awesome if Gaimon's old crew came back in the story!

RE: Dumb Predictions
@400MillionBelis:
A possibility is a possibility, no matter what degree of dumbness it is.
In any case, I predict Sabo is actually writing the story - he did want to become a writer.
Dewd, I've totally had this same thought! It would kinda make sense to me. It may sound "dumb" but as you said–he did want to become a writer.
also Doflamingo's second in command is going to be a man with a windmill windmill fruit named Sanchopanza Doparrot.
