RE: Most Disappointing Thing in One Piece
Does anyone seriously even know what trolling means anymore? I can't recall a single time Zephos has ever trolled.
That aside, if Crocodile as evil of a bastard as you're making him out to be, then why did he help out Luffy and Whitebeard's crew after Whitebeard kicked the bucket?
Trolling has evolved, though JD is not exactly trolling in his last post. When I typed that I hadn't seen his reply yet. However, I assure you he's quite capable, and most worthy of the nomination.
As for your question re: Croc. Read JD's long post

RE: Most Disappointing Thing in One Piece
Jerk Disease for Arlong Park Troll of the Year 2010!!
While I'd agree with Daz about Croc being an evil son of a bitch. I don't exactly dislike what he did during the war. I don't really see his acts of "compassion" as evidence that "oh he's really not so bad." To me it's more that even he couldn't stand by the injustice and over-bearing oppressiveness of the Government. I see in Croc a hatred for authority, and above all he is a Pirate who wants power. No doubt he's a bad motherfucker, and I'm sure he wanted to exact his revenge on WB, but everybody knows WB is a symbol of the Pirates. Defeating WB is an act for power, or rather gaining power, but nothing is worse than letting the Gov take WB's head. Croc is smart enough to know this. He's definitely one of my fav characters.

RE: What do you think of the way women are portrayed in OP?
Two threads boiling down to Robin's mediocrity? Funny how a thread about the portrayal of women boils down to Robin's combat prowess.

RE: Most Disappointing Thing in One Piece
With any group, balance is essential. I think Robin provides that stoicism necessary to allow Chopper, Franky, Brook, Nami and Usoop to be nuts. If the entire crew were constantly funny with trademark reactions - it would diminish the whole. Robin is the straight man as such and her expertise also helps facilitate this. If you got rid of Robin you would tip the scales too far towards constant silliness. Not the worst thing in the world, but nice to have some dry humour, some cutting remarks at the expense of the rest etc.
I'm not a Robin hater. She has her moments of interest (like when she was with the Rev Army), but overall I think she's an empty character. You pretty much pointed out the problem with Robin - that she is a tool, a facilitator. She has no personality; she has a role. She's just there to balance shit out; to be the one sane one in the whole crew. Her purpose is straight-forward and empty.
On the other hand, one could argue that she just doesn't have a SHINING GREGARIOUS personality, and so gets lost in the evaluation of things. Lots of introverted girls are like that, but the thing is with these real-life girls is that you actually get to know them. All we 'got to know' is her past history; that she's hell-bent on discovering the Blank History…. aaaand that she's terrified at the Buster Call, like uselessly shivering type terrified. My beef with her is that she's always like "Oh, you mean you didn't know that?" She frequently holds back on info that may or may not be of interest, and really there is no need to do that. Speak you mind more dammit! It's such an annoying character device. I get that she's used to be a spy withholding information, but she's home now, with the only people she'll ever trust..... so SHOW IT

RE: Ultimate Time-Line of the Grandline (Updated Mar, 2012)
coby still looked like that in his cover sotry so it's not exactly the very beginning.
ya got me there

RE: Ultimate Time-Line of the Grandline (Updated Mar, 2012)
No. Coby is from the very beginning of One Piece. None of the adventures from East Blue has been accounted for in the timeline so it would have been more than 3 months for him to grow that much.
The thing about East Blue is that according to the Geography (see that thread for more on this), the distance needed to sail is much greater than in the GL. Also, Luffy and Zoro spent a considerable amount of time drifting on the ocean cuz they have no navigation skills.

RE: Chapter 605: "The Kraken and the Pirates"
There is a reason I never follow chapter threads, and this shitty discussion is reminding me of that… Too bad I'm the one trying to procrastinate, so here I am.
I honestly expected more talk about the shark or the dark CoA.... so I'm just gonna put in my two cents. I liked the connection between Sengoku's weird shading in Buddha mode.
People say if Luffy took a hit imbued with Haki he'd have been crushed, and unable to fight afterwards. I say he was crushed, and hurt quite bad, but he still fought afterwards (not the first time).Also did anyone talk about how the Shark seems to be a bit distraught about the Krakken getting owned. It's likely they are on the same team - namely the team that's putting them there to protect Fishman Island. Oda is setting up for the Fishman Island arc I'd say. I don't think it's going to be a short arc ~~ well maybe TB length
Edit: Haha and RIGHT after I post this, I see the post about the Shark

RE: One Piece Geography
@gotta<3OP:
We know that L.R.L.L. is the penultimate Island.
…........
And Jaya is the third from the end.
.................
The SH got out of their rout to go to Alabasta, but (I'm not sure) I believe that once the route is set they will always go back to the same route. So Alabasta was just a detour.
.............
While being a detour I guess it would be possible to skip some islands.
Drum is an Island they found by luck.Actually they use an Eternal Post to get to Alabasta, suggesting they skipped some islands. You guys make a good point about Ace though I don't think we'll ever find out how Ace knew to ask about Luffy at Drum. Also, look at this: http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v17/c154/5.html
In ch154 Ace says he'll wait for Luffy in Alabasta for 10 days. How the hell would Ace know they were going to Alabasta unless it was in the same path as Drum? Aaaand remember they found their way to Drum accidentally, so it's actually impossible that he KNEW Luffy was there. It's more likely that he was just asking about Luffy everywhere he went because he knew Luffy would be in the 'early' parts of the GL
Another thing… I've always believed that they skipped a large portion of the Grandline via Sky island (or should I say the Sky Sea). Remember there is an entire ocean in the Sky over the Grandline, and it is not stationary, so it's quite conceivable that they floated pass their intended path in the GL, and skipped a section of the GL. In other words, they also skipped a bunch of islands between Jaya and LRLL

RE: Chapter 605: "The Kraken and the Pirates"
Frankly I've never liked Diable Jamble as an attack, but all this discussion about it is retarded…
If his foot is fire then why isn't he getting burnt?! Oh wait, how is his foot on fire? Oh wait, he's under water! Oh wait, why is his foot on fire?! *Shakes head -_-'
