@RomanceDawn:

A tree with a face! Just like Thriller Bark! A crew mate forced into marriage! Just like Thriller Bark! All these weird things that shouldn't be alive are alive because of a Devil Fruit! Just like Thriller Bark!

Evelyn I'm surprised you didn't quit the series when Gaimon and his weird animals were revealed.

As Sandman cited, we've known since forever that most anything magical is the result of a Devil Fruit.

I knew that. But as I said, forgive people who aren't craving for this kind of stuff. Not everyone can enjoy this kind of wacky settings, be it created by a devil fruit or not (it doesn't matter anyway).

Like I said previously, Alabasta/Skypiea/Water Seven, the best period of this manga, had a nice mixed stuff of normal and fun settings. The weirdness and goofiness keep increasing since Thriller Bark, and (I think) it hurts the story. As you can see this arc is already very controversed in the discussions.

People saying "this is your typical One Piece adventure and exploring"…no...Alabasta, Skypiea, Water Seven had that stuff and it was good, the golden age of this manga. It was serious and funny at the same time, interesting and creative. This is just...dumb and weird. "I'm buried because I like being burried" wow, Goda. This manga is just getting dumber and dumber, just like his main character. Forgive people who aren't craving for this kind of stuff. One Piece really started getting very wonky and weird at Thriller Bark. But before that it wasn't, even Foxy arc was funny and weird but it wasn't over the top. Oda is really trying too hard to make Big Mom's world all weird and wonky. It can't please everyone.

And this is getting again very repetitive, we've had Dressrosa being very similar to Alabasta and now this is getting very similar to Thriller Bark. It's like Oda is recycling his own arcs with a lower quality. I bet just like Moria's zombies and Dressorosa toys, or Punk Hazard's weirdness, we will learn soon that all these living things are made by a devil fruit user, it's just the same thing over again.

@Monkey:

Oh wait, I thought of one.
That Oda is saving him for later in other storylines!

In fact if you think about it, nothing makes sense about not fully showing or naming this person unless he plans to show him eventually.

Nope. What doesnt make sense is your reasoning. If this King was that important, he would have a name and a face. You would notice that every nameless Kings turned out…unimportant. King of Lvneel is a noname because he is unimportant to the story, same goes for Wapol's father. It makes absolutely no fucking sense to not give Goa's King a name if Oda planned to use him later in the story. It makes even less sense that Stelly is the current King. If this nameless King was so important, it would have been a great opportunity to have him as a King in the Reverie, don't you think? Why did Oda decide to make Stelly the new king? Maybe maybe because the one during Sabo's flashback was unimportant.

@Cyan:

Remember how Rayleigh showed up for one panel in Buggy's flashback, was not named, and never mattered ever again?

His face was shown, and Oda even said to the anime team to make his face right. That's a rather weak argument that you've got there.

@King:

But you did say he was memorable, because of a bowler hat.

He has a distinctive design and he could be important, or not. I don't know and I don't care.

The King doesn't have a distinctive design but on top of that there is absolutely no reason for Oda to not give his name during Sabo's flashback.

@KageKageKing:

Says the figure who thinks Hat Man is important because of a hat and we can't see the face or name.

I've never said he is important. But it's not like you have been paying attention, you are a spammer.

@Monkey:

I'm struggling to think of an angle where you aren't wallowing in garbage strained arguments.
Like even this forces you to make a terrible argument of the monarchy not showing up in a Dragon flashback.
It's almost like if everywhere you turn is a terrible argument you have to make to defend this guy not mattering, that you are done and finished.

None of my arguments were weak. All you can say is that a noname King whose face has been hidden will play an important part at some point of the story. I mean, it's not like Oda has the habit to name its important Kings. Oh wait, we have Cobra, Neptune, Riku, Wapol, Elizabetto, Gancho, Stelly and so on. For Christ sake, we even know the name of that King:
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Thalassa_Lucas
Yet he would not name the King who would be related to Dragon and the start of his Revolution? This is hilarious.
You are not making any sense, and you are the one with garbage strained arguments.

@Monkey:

How will we ever tell the King of Goa from all the other Kings of Goa that Oda might introduce. Aside from literally half his head I mean.

http://mangasee.co/manga/?series=OnePiece&chapter=587&index=1&page=16

So you are betting everything on that one panel that no one have even paid attention beside a few people here who are interested with this hot topic. Why not.
You think this random guy will play an important part in Dragon's flashback, maybe ordered the murder of his wife or something else, why not. I think it's all bullshit and we won't ever see this guy again, for the simple reason Oda woud have named him if he was that important. But let's wait and see

@KageKageKing:

Because Kong was easily recognizable when he was first introduced, right?

He was named so yes?

@Monkey:

Why didn't Oda name all the people watching Caesar's demonstration, or the CP0 guy.
Oh right this leads to "Evelyne Bullshit#34" about familiar visual cues, which then leads to "Evelyne Bullshit#48" about "easily" familiar visual cues.

You are not getting it, the characters you take as examples have a full design. They are easily recognizable. Why would Oda not name a character whose design have been hidden? It makes absolutely no sense and there is no reason to it. It's just confusing for the reader if he plans to use him later in the story.
