Say Greg at the last chapter Hiyori said The Kurozumi were born to burn and there are people who are upset by it here’s a tweet from twitter…’’ The Kozuki damned all of Wano by committing a genocide of the Kurozumi, instigating a hostile takeover/subjugation by survivors of that genocide-- requiring an outside force to reset the status quo and Oda's message at the end of all of it is, "Yeah, let's double down on that." Do you agree with this? I feel like he is defending and justifying Orochi’s deeds!

the skull logo reminds of The Goonies title sequence i wonder if it's a reference to that!

RE: One Piece Live-Adaptation Drama Announced
The story behind how the logo came about is pretty swell. Lotta thought went into it and it made many people happy.
what story? can you please explain!

RE: Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary
What with that height difference between Luffy and WB. In Marineford,Luffy certainly wasn't at the knee of Whiteberd.
well he has to fit in the panels otherwise it would look silly

RE: Chapter 1,016: It's Me, Otama!!
I'm bringing up Crocodile because when Luffy first fought him, the Schichbukai were the strongest enemies the Strawhats could face, from the point of view of the readership. Now in retrospect, of course we can say that Crocodile was probably one of the weaker Shichibukai and that the Yonkou are way above the Shichibukai. But back then, Mihawk had just demonstrated the vast difference in strength between himself and Zoro, and he was our only benchmark in order to measure the power of the Shichibukai. And then you have the Strawhats, complete rookies who have just started out on the Grand Line, coming out of nowhere basically, facing and defeating a member of this seemingly invincible group of pirates and his henchmen.
It's the exact same situation now. Just like with Crocodile, from the eyes of the Yonkou, the Strawhats (as well as the Supernova) are just little rookies playing pirates. And just like Crocodile, they are wrong. That's why I'm bringing Crocodile into this, because if one applies your mindset to the Alabasta arc, you could (and would have) raised the same type of complaints. What's the big difference between Usopp surviving Ulti's headbutts and Usopp surviving a 4-ton-bat to the head? I'm sure her headbutts are a lot stronger, but I'm also sure that Usopp has gotten a lot more durable in the meantime. It's been a long time since Alabasta after all.
The Strawhats have trained two years for a confrontation like that. That's what their training was all about - it wasn't so they could easily defeat idiots like the New Fishmen Pirates, but so they could play in the big leagues, that they could actually be able to face guys like the Admirals or the Yonkou without being completely obliterated again. It's still a complete uphill battle, but listening to you, it sounds like they shouldn't even be able to hurt anybody from the Beast Pirates in the slightest. I'd wonder what all that training would have been for if they were truly and completely out of their league in this battle. And Usopp and Chopper actually haven't even been able to beat their opponents, while Nami needed a huge power-up and help from a Yonkou to win. You are complaining that nobody from the Strawhats' alliance has gone down yet (which isn't true, because three of the Scabbards are down now and Zoro and Luffy out of commission for the moment. I know the latter two will be back in some fashion, but that doesn't negate the fact that they were removed from the battle for a while, while Kaido and Big Mom are walking around like it's a stroll in the park.), but how many of the Beast pirates have actually gone down either? Not many, and one wasn't even defeated by the alliance.
And no, I don't think Luffy is the strongest, or that Zoro and Sanji are far above King and Queen, why would I? But I don't think Zoro and Sanji are far _below_ King and Queen either.
i agree with you the arc is not even over, yet people are complaining despite that fact and there must be a lot of surprises yet to come plus the fact that Otama is doing her part NOW means that there will be plenty of time to let the beast pirates turn the tide b in their favor because the situation always needs to be worse before it gets better and the situation is currently neutral!

RE: Chapter 1,013: Anarchy in the B.M.
Tama got up from that vicious attack. Ulti most likely will as well. Zeus was either able to hide in the Climatact or his soul went in it.
you still don't get it ? HIS soul is Big Mom's soul, he his essence could still be there but unless he has a new soulf to connect maybe Nami , he can not survive

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
"Either way, it's clear that Luffy could never have made it this far alone so even if it was entirely 1v1 from here, it wouldn't even be close to a pure 1v1 victory."
of course Not. Kaido did not fight on his own,he got help from Big Mom too it was two Emperors versus them

RE: One Piece chapter 1,000 official countdown on Twitter!!
I wish Oda would make a 2 part colorspread of the all allies and enemies on onigashima and show all the strawhats in ther new outfit's, calamaties, Big Mom, flying six, red scabbards etc so we can see how they looked like in color!
But that's probably not gonna happen! -
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
for me Oden was interesting character, he was a good but flawed man who in his youth felt isolated and trapped due his adventurous nature and decided to seen it it all, do it all by rebelling kidnapping and sleeping with someone else's wives, gambling in short enjoying things as much as he can, then unwittingly got followers and responsibility's by doing thing's as a result of doing what he wants to do and later leave the country to fulfill his dream! sure it was selfish when he briefly returned and saw that something was wrong but continued his journey regardless but what he was involved with was bigger than his country's crisis.It later costs him his live and 20 years of his people's suffering but his actions made an impact for the future of the whole world!
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
insert every panel of Law working with Luffy to defeat Mingo
Here's another facile criticism, "Kaido doesn't feel fleshed out."
Are we in the Matrix? Because I feel this is like deja vu all over again.
"We don't know anything about Mom!"
Oda: Here's a multi-chapter Mom flcshback when it will work to maximum effect.
Do we not think Kaido's past will be elaborated on in some form?
The man finally gave us his objective so he has stakes. I'm so happy I wasn't moaning for months that he had no stakes and ruining my enjoyment, and just patiently waited to see what Oda would do.
We know he has a history with major players. Be just a little more patient and you might even find there's more to him than 'Me want war'. Everyone demands the villains be handled a very specific personal way and that expectation is absolutely destroying your enjoyment.
If that payoff sucks, it sucks, and Oda should be called on it. But dayum! We just had an arc where Oda gave us his villain's story at an unusual moment and still ppl are complaining? My goodness.
i get your point Greg Luffy did work together with law but that was first for Law to try and give the killing blow to Doflamingo and Luffy assisted him with that,yes they worked together on that but after Law tried his hardest and failed it was Luffy's turn and yes Law did get Doflamingo injured but Luffy got injured too by Bellamy so the both weren't at 100% so Oda made sure that they were of equal state on that matter! even if the both were uninjured and at 100% gear fourth Luffy would have still overpowered Doflamingo easily! gear fourth weaknesses not included! other than that Gred has an good view of Kaido but i want Oda too explain a bit more about Kaido soon trough backstory or inner thoughts etc so that we can leave behind a lot of this discussions!
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
This is a strawman which completely misses the point - which is:
Completely independent from any power level debate, Kaido on a narrative level is not a well-written character. And because of writing/crafting errors done by Oda, Kaido lacks in the department of villain credibility and villain threat level. Resulting in less emotional impact than what we as readers could have gotten instead, if Oda has not done these mistakes.
An example of these errors is the Oden vs. Kaido encounter in chapter 970 which is heavily flawed on the narrative meta-level, further elaborated by Daz somewhere here:
I'm gonna wait for my conclusion how Kaido is written AFTER this arc is over because we do not even know his full backstory or what motivated him yet,saying stuff like this prematurely is not a good argument for me!

RE: 932: ''Life or Death - Queen's Sumo Inferno''
…I thought his collar was ALSO made of Sea Stone...weird... why doesnt he escape then? Also despite being the anime's biggest champion this side of Skippy my heart sank when I saw Jet Gattling being so boringly animated. And I dont mean in Sakuga way either. I meant that on Enies Lobby we couldnt EVEN SEE JET GATTLING, it was insanely fast and powerful. Here its almost a footnote.
when it comes to gear second,gear second attacks is never accurate the way it is in the manga, jet pistol in the manga you never see the delivery of the punch itself only the fist recoil and the shockwave when it attacks, the same effect is for jet bazooka and jet gatling but in the anime you always see the punch(es)! Only in strong world did it look the way it should!

RE: Chapter 979: Family Problem
Loved the chapter. Waiting to see who will find Yamato and bond with him. Momo? Zoro? Robin & Jinbe?
Still not sure if I'm enjoying the Tobi Roppo. Don't have the feeling with them I had with the CP9 group meeting and chilling together. Their dialogues are still stiff and weird
Sorry to say it, but I'm happy Pound is alive. If he died it would be too sad, and Oda doesn't want to write these sad stories
I always found Pound's ''death'' kinda unnecessary! Pound attacked Oven with a stick that did he probably did not even felt and Oven attacked him for that but if Pound did not do that,Oven being the stupid dumbass he is would have ruined the ingredients for the wedding cake and Big mom would have destroyed Tot land so Oven should be grateful to Pound yet attacked him regardless!
plus that Big Mom is so coldhearted to remove the husbands after the children are born and removing out of their lives and cruelly treating her children like Chiffon for no reason, the fact that Lola who and Chiffon the children who Big Mom hates the most and Pound who never gave up on her children are getting together to be their own family is like a big FCK YOU in her face and her beliefs of what SHE decides who's family , which i love.

Where's Hyogoro (Hyo) design ? for some reason they don't ever show his character design yet he is one of the most important figures of act 2!

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Lodestar until we have some reason to doubt that from Oda similar to Laugh Tale :)
Hassan seems extraordinarily likely to be a coincidence.
Scoppers might have a role if Oda deems it necessary. That is, of course, if he doesn't already.
thanks for answering Greg!
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Greg, may i ask your opinion? in Mangaplus Viz chapter 966 Roger talks about the final island Lodestar but i heard from other sources it could also be either Roadstar or Northstar (in my opinion it's probably Roadstar because in Japanese, people don't speak the L letter and they always changed into R but i'm not sure) which is the real pronunciation of the three in your opinion? please tell me what you think!!

RE: Oda's Interviews
Summary of the interview.
1. He indeed said that by the ending of the series the events that will happen will surpass the impact of the death of Ace in how we will feel and they will be truly sad.
2. By the end of Wano we will have an understanding of what the One Piece is and we will see something related to it ( or even a part of the One Piece ) .
3. Luffy will indeed fight Kaido and Big Mom in Wano and it will be the stuff of legends.
4. They want to adapt the cover stories but also the novels like the one of Ace and Law.
5. He talked about the plan to end the series in 5 more years.
6. Many changes are coming to the anime even more than the beginning of Wano and he talked about the designs of the anime.
7. He hyped up Kaido vs Luffy in the anime ( the upcoming episode ) and he said that it wll be something grandiose.
Luffy's gonna die isn't he?

RE: New One Piece Movie "Stampede" (August 2019)
Well is like saying that Sanji is not anymore in the monster trio because Jimbei is going to join the Strawhats.
That’s okay then they can call themselves the monster quattro
-
RE: New One Piece Movie "Stampede" (August 2019)
If you find Luffy boring, you might get more enjoyment out of another series. Luffy is the core of the series not only as the main character but as someone with an attractive enough personality to the characters in that world that they're willing to drop their lives and travel with (essentially) a kid.
Luffy wasn't one of my favs until a few years back but once working with the series I've learned how important his personality is to the core of the series and the characters in that world. Not only that, but Oda basically is Luffy.
I think you'll save yourself a lot of avoidable grief if you move on.
If it's any consolation, I'm completely with you on not only having the crew split, or leaving us without certain characters for years at a time. I really wish we'd be able to go back to just the crew but the story is too big for that now.
i completely agree with Greg here!
-
RE: New One Piece Movie "Stampede" (August 2019)
Do not take any risk for me ^^'
The summary is largely sufficient, thanks a lot as always! His story is quite…weird:wassat:
I mean that in the promo they said that he was first a marine then a Pirate. That mean he was in the marine before the age of 15:blink:
At 19 years old he was as strong as Ray and Sir Crocodile was able to tango with him (which means that sir Crocodile was, at on point, strong enough to tango with Prime Ray while having no haki whatsoever:blink::blink:)
At 19 year old he was as strong as Prime rayleigh but it took him 21 years old of hard training to reach his prime:blink::blink::blink:
So either he is a early bloomer with a low progression rate or the prison trainin was not that good :ninja:
! So yeah i doubt Oda wrote that and that Bullet will be canon (which is a shame for me because i love his design and DF).stronger than prime Rayleigh… recently in the manga it is revealed that Rayleigh posseses advanced busoshoku haki wich includes the shockwave/shield thingy that Sentomaru and the three admirals used and the one that destroys things from the inside, there's no way that Bullet will use this kind of haki in the movie! so i call bs on that one!

RE: Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary

until a official timeline will be released i think this could be a error/mistake on Oda’s part what do you Think?

RE: Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary
How is it more than a year? From May to next march is 10 months.

RE: Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary
Wait the thousand sunny was made on 25 march and Luffy’s birthday is may 7 and may 7 is the date he Started his pirate journey, does that mean that from starting foosha village east blue to water 7 grandline The journey took more than a year? To me it seemed like a couple months!

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
First it doesn't answer what 'D' stands for( which was the original discussion);secondly, being a giant is no big deal in OP world as Aokiji easily killed Saul( a giant D) and child Big Mom flipped a village head killing him in the process.
giants play a big role in the one piece story ,like the giant strawhat that could be from a giant! it's just a theory

-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
To me, the problem with 'Will of D' being specifically connected with multiple DF makes it those 'D's with one fruit or no fruit a
'lesser' bunch. And since 'in memories' no person with two DF appeared in OP world until Teach, it needs quite a explaining how this so called 'will' passed down through generations without manifesting itself to it's basic premises.
I fully believe all 'D's are somehow blood related, near or distant, but we don't even know whether all 'D's can inherits this 'will'( I assume they can theoretically). So 'D' being the signature of double DF holding capability and 'will'/connected 'wills' of these specifically able people are what this world need for the change - it may be possible, but not for my likings.I also have a theory that people with the middle D in their name or the monky family are descendants of giant and if you’re thinking that Luffy is just normal size and that’s impossibeyou gotta look at the potential Clues the first one is the jaya storyline and you notice cricket and Norland and aside from the chestnut there is no Resemblance at all because of hundredsof years of generations apart the second is that it is possible to interbreed with other races. fishman with giants, like neptune and Otohime neptune is the size of a giant and Otohime is slighly larger than average human but the were able to have children slightly bigger than her.The same thing can be with giants and humans, if they have children who are a bit smaller than normal Giants and those children have children with humans than after (eight) hundreds of years it would be logical that the curren generation look like ordinary humans!

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Good and important question to be asking.
Whether it's even an attack as we know it that will do the trick we can't say for sure.
But whatever it is, Luffy forced Momo to say he wants to defeat Kaido and will likely make him follow through with that. The other reason is that Momo is terrified of Kaido so his arc needs to see him overcome that. And finally, performing such a feat would not only avenge his father but also legitimize his role as the new shogun in the eyes of the people.
That said, it's 'Momotarou' who defeats the Oni and you only get 'Momotarou' by combining Luffytarou and Momonosuke so animal companions aside it will be cooperative between the two, whatever it is.
Personally I'm currently hyped over whether Kinnemon's flyers gave (or will give) Luffy a new idea for another 4th form.
what is your opinion on defeating Kaido ?will Kaido be defeated because of a team up between Kidd, Luffy and Law or will it be just Luffy alone,one on one?
-
RE: Chapter 923: Emperor Kaidou VS Luffy
I've read DBZ
I'm missing your point though
they increase their power with help from other things all the time…ultra divine water, room of spirit and time, gravity chamber, transformations
-
RE: Chapter 923: Emperor Kaidou VS Luffy
He doesn't need to beat all the Yonko to become Pirate King, never mind defeat them 1 on 1
This can be a stepping stone to defeating Big Mom 1 on 1
I feel like Luffy can't possibly bridge this gap in such a short period of time without it being a complete asspull tbh
eeehm did you ever watch or read Dragon Ball (Z) (super)?
-
RE: Chapter 923: Emperor Kaidou VS Luffy
Even if they team up from what we see none of them look close kaido level .
As for you last line BB will most likely be the only Yonku that luffy solo .
no Luffy HAS to be the one to beat Kaido on his own, no team or help otherwise he becoming the pirate king at the end would feel undeserved!
luffy been defeated by Kaido this easy, will help Luffy understand the power difference between them and hopefully it will make him think,what can he do now?
will he train? is there a method in wano to increase his battle power? will he develop a new gear? will he try to have his df power be awakened?
there are two weeks left until the army attack kaido and his army, who knows what can happen! -
RE: Chapter 923: Emperor Kaidou VS Luffy
after reading this chapter people probably think that the only way to beat Kaido is fighting together like Law Kidd,Luffy
but Luffy HAS to be one to beat him one on one fair and square,or otherwise he will not have earned it, the right to be the pirate king.
It looks like Kaido is gonna be the Frieza of One Piece and he will be the guy who will push Luffy beyond his limits!
the story have dropped hints so far that i can see the possibilities how that willl be. -

RE: Vivre Card: One Piece Visual Dictionary
I'm going by their silhouettes which could be entirely wrong mind you but if you're showing that silhouette AND a picture of the character from two years ago…it just makes sense.
But Koby older than Luffy? Just sounds silly ^o^ I'd like to believe he's 18 now and was 16. It seems like a poor design choice.
about Coby's age for me until this is in stated in the manga or if Oda confirms it in a sbs ,i take it with a grain of salt
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Just last page I explained why that means literally nothing.
It really helps to look beyond dialogue.
Furthermore, although I don't have it in front of me, I dunno what you folks have read but iirc in Japanese he says, "In other words a traitor."
I mean, even if they outright called them traitors I'd still call BS when they're out in the open but that 'in other words' buys them a world of ambiguity.
In other words…according to whom exactly?
well, ever since Doflamingo said that the Nefertari family where one of the 20 founding members of the World government, to me it always was kinda strange that if the Nefertari family was along with other 19 responsible or atleast an accomplice of destroying the Great Kingdom why would they keep,guard and protect poneglyph of the kingdom? maybe there is another meaning when five elders says the nefertari family are traitors, maybe the Nefertaris regretted what they did and tried to atone for it by honoring and protecting the great kingdoms legacy wich is the poneglyph!!
