i love this manga https://mangadex.org/chapter/765533/1

I'm just going to say that i think that Rocks were maybe not an alience, but more like WB and the other Emperors, Xebec was the strongest Pirate and he invited them to join, only Roger and his small crew didn't accept, like how Spades pirate were part of WB or the worst generation were part of BM and Kaido.

Also since I think no once has mentioned it, but I think Balkin was part of that crew, because Marco said she was active around 40 years ago.

@Don_Freecs:

7 years I read the JUMP, not a single time Oda released two chapters. Only FairyTail author did i think.

And BM probably has the "life" DF yes, though it's a pity I don't recall any strong women in OP who didn't eat a misogynist DF, the only one strong women is actually Hancock and she has eaten the "love" DF and she's also the main character's bitch….

how are the Robin, Hina, Ms Valentine, Ms DoubleFinger, Ms Merry Christmas, Perona, Boney, Monet, Sugar, Viola, Sandersonia, Marygold are misogynst, Almost all of they are Strong Women on their own

@sanji''s_dad:

robin beat more named people before she joined the crew then she got nerfed beat the dude on skypiea then got nerfed again lol.

I don't deny that she beat people, but that doesn't mean she fight them.. with her ability is more probable that they were beaten with a single surprise attack

Robin was presented like an "Assasin" but never when she was Miss All Sunday she never Fight (at least on screen) i mean an Assasin doesn't figh.. kill is different, and also both Nami and Robin Fight when is really need it for them (Nami Vs Miss Double Finger in order to protect Vivi, and Robin vs God Militia General in Skypea in order to protect the Sky Ruins), and all other fights that they had have been suport fights because Fighting is not their main point, even Ussop and Chopper fights when 1 on 1 is just when is really a Necesity, mostly their fights are againts Minions, or team Fights (Miss Merry Chrismas and Mr 4, Kaku and Jabura, Oars Luffy) because they all are support fighters, so 1 on 1 fights for all these characteres are really not a must in order for them to improve, Ussop haki development was in a suport role, not in a 1 on 1 fight

@sanji''s_dad:

what did it get a guiness world record for then was it just the number sold?

yeah

On June 15, 2015, it was announced that Eiichiro Oda and One Piece had set the Guinness World Record for "The most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author."[146]

@sanji''s_dad:

its the longest running manga with the most chapters in history and its not even over!

No… OP is not the longest no the one with most chapters (yet), at least from memory 2.. Detective Conan 1994 945 chapters and Golgo 13 from 1968

Here is a list with a lot of mangas, older and with more chapters than OP https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_manga_series_by_volume_count

But… what is Raftel is not in the New World, but you need to go to it to discover its location, the 4 road poneglyph give the direction of 4 islands, but those island doesnt have to be at the new world not near each other...

@RamistaR:

Scotch got defeated by Caribou and probably by Drake. Not a calamity. Nope.

@Watch-man:

Well I didnt said that Drake will be one of them as its unlikely in my opinion.

Scotch was bit above average if Drake beaten him 2 years ago and even Caribou can do it as well.

Good Point.. i didn't remembered that.. But means that Scotch is under one of the Dissasters, or another complete division beside Dissasters, also his name could be in relation with Scoth Wist

I'm a little late to the discussion in this matter, but I think the main reason why people Like or dislike Zou to the moment, is the way of setting the story so far. Generally Oda do something like:
Arrive to the island
Present the island and its people
Present a conflict
Give Flashbacks
Finish the Conflict

But here is going like backwards
Conflict already happened / started
Give Flashback while present the island people

I mean, yeah, it is not classic One Piece, so it is easy that people don't like it, but also is something different that try to no bore people.

I think the main reason this is presented this way is becase we are still in the "Pirate Alliance" that was presented in PH, and Zou is going to be a lot shorter, maybe like Drum, present a new crewmate, and add more fuel to Kaido's and Wano's problem before Wano being the last part of the Alliance

@Watch-man:

My thoughts exactly.

Also part of big name pirates power is their experience, not only just pure strength.

Drake is not going to be one of the Dissasters, i think he is going to be one of the "Sheeshead" to another Dissaster (Maybe Scotch)
