I imagine Pekoms can turtle up and tank a lot of blows, unless his mind is lost or something. Hopefully his eyes are alright :( poor guy

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Thanks for your reply, Greg!
On a different note: it could be amusing if part of the BMP chase after Luffy. Basically, they won't know where he is going but chasing him nonetheless. Boom. Big Mom lands on Wano a day or so after the Strawhats are reunited again and things are happening with the Beast Pirates. Basically, could be amusing to have another faction there who, I believe, would have a reason to fight the other factions present. Could screw up Kaido a bit further :)

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Sorry for asking if it has been stated previously in the thread (it's quite long now), but is there any particular reason why you, Greg, think it is likely that BB will possibly kill off Kaido?
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Does Wano participate in that meeting, or were they not part of the WG? Or maybe nothing has been stated in this matter. I got the impression that they were a bit secluded due to Kinnemon’s behaviour.
Just thinking how they could play a role in this.
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
On the topic of Zoro… will Wano finally reveal what happened to his eye? Why, surely it must be revealed ”soon” (like, within 3 years).

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
It was Pudding's look on her face tbh. Caretaking Girls look that way when their dudes when the dudes screw sth up.
And we smokers get bashed all the time after all.
If anything, her face looks like she's gathering up courage for what's to come. Agree with Robby (and probably a lot of other people) that this is not related to smoking at all.

So your saying the kiss happened but no matter what one will not remember it?

Or if a tree falls and Sanji hears it, but then has his memory of it removed, will he still be a virgin? Discuss.

RE: Chapter 896: The Last Request
@K.:
No, it was a casual response to the real complaint of them not being haki detectors.
Seemed like there were posts from many people addressing the same thing.
But doesn’t haki basically just work like that they can sense someone being somewhere, and their strength ro a certain degree. So doesn’t seem odd, and definitely not by OP standards.
-
RE: Chapter 896: The Last Request
So, from briefly looking through the thread I have a question… are people complaining about BMP not acting like smoke detectors, or are people complaining about the people who aren’t even complaining?
-
RE: Chapter 896: The Last Request
I would have liked to actually seen Katakuri running out of haki mana as well in this fight… Of course no one will run out of stamina, as that is infinite in the series, but when they have made a point out of haki needs to recharge, then I'd like to see that happen for characters that are using it to a high extent, like Katakuri obviously is doing with his CoO.
-
RE: Chapter 896: The Last Request
The series would be quite annoying if it became like "they can sense our presence", because then, of course, Oda would also introduce a way for people to train themselves to appear normal in public. Just urgh. Sanji being hidden in an alley works perfectly fine for me. All of the attention is on the mirror.
-
RE: Chapter 896: The Last Request
hate to be that guy, but oda didn't manage to sell me luffy's win… but it's true that a guy used to avoid damage completely might have less resistance... but the difference in this regard between luffy and kata was way too much... luffy took and indescribable amount of damage while katakuri took like a tenth of that and went down...
You’re not the only one who feels this way. Also, last blow didn’t even make Katakuri budge one bit.

RE: Chapter 896: The Last Request
Biggest surprise of this arc: Bege has shown himself to be rather likable.

RE: Chapter 895: Pirate Luffy vs. Sweet Commander Katakuri
Have we seen an official colorization of Jack? Afterall, aren’t all fishmen blue? Not trying to be racist or anything, but aren’t they?

RE: Chapter 895: Pirate Luffy vs. Sweet Commander Katakuri
Donut portals is the greatest BS since Marineford Haki wall.
I’d say bird cage and hobby fruit tops haki wall.

RE: Chapter 895: Pirate Luffy vs. Sweet Commander Katakuri
@Count:
Rubber boy Luffy must erase the ink of darkness that is Blackbeard. What a fitting finale.
Of course Oda won’t go with that route, but after seeing how the hobby fruit operates… well, anything goes.
-
RE: Chapter 895: Pirate Luffy vs. Sweet Commander Katakuri
@Count:
That makes more sense.
And people are more harsh towards Luffy because people expect Oda to put more effort into the characterization of main characters than one-time supporting characters or enemies. The latter is more forgivable especially when you consider how lengthy the series is and the type of schedule Oda deals with as a mangaka. Random character who pulls out random attack for a random-themed power that we've only gotten to know for a single arc is much less striking than a main character we've seen for twenty years with a power we know the ins and outs of getting new ability that almost completely defies the "rules" we associated with their skill set. Probably because it betrays a cornerstone of consistency we've come to associate with the author, which in turn would make fans think he's caring less about his series' quality over time in favor of meeting deadlines with whatever random whims come to mind.
Luffy’s awakening will be the power of erasing stuff in his proximity from existence. You know, like an https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eraser
At this point, every enemy will be vanquished instantaneously and rest of the series will be a cake walk. Luffy will be the strongest individual combined with the strongest fruit.
Given what we have seen I wouldn’t really be surprised if it came to this… the level of exaggeration has been too high since fishman island. Didn’t really get better past that.
-
RE: Chapter 895: Pirate Luffy vs. Sweet Commander Katakuri
I just feel that this fight has been pushing it to the extreme, even by OP standards. I thought Luffy took too much beating in the fight against Doflamingo… here, the fight was basically one-sided for literally hours. Even if the tables are turned I just don’t see it reasonable for Katakuri to get beaten; his hp should be way higher than Luffy at this point... Luffy sucks at dodging and blocking.
Also, awakening just seem too overpowered as it appears to not exhaust the user in any way and be limitless.
With that said, wouldn’t it be amusing to see Luffy coil one arm around Katakuri (like a snake) and then launch a kong gun in his face :)
Iirc, didn’t Luffy do something like that in order to pull him into the mirror world? Don’t remember which chapter it may have been and haven’t got time to search atm.Edit: Alright, just looked it up. Back then Luffy grabbed him with a big hand. Still, snake mode in one arm and pound in the other. If he manage that, Observation haki won't mean shit :)

RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Wait isn't the Cannibalism theory all but confirmed by the fact that all her food are infused with souls. She associates good tasty food with them being sentient..i wonder where she got that idea.
Oh its because she ate all the people in the orphanage.
You are literally describing an interpretation - not something that's been confirmed.
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Greg could totally justify Trump’s words and actions. Afterall, Trump have only hinted at the ability of using nuclear weapons :)
Joke aside, the idea is probably that we are supposed to not really be fond of BM. I still have my tinfoil hat on about that cannablism until the arc is over.

RE: Official Totland Thread
Tomorrow (Feb 13th) is the day of Semla in Sweden. We should all have a moment of silence for all the children that mysteriously disappeared the day when Big Mom mysteriously acquired the Soul fruit.
-
RE: Chapter 894: 12:05 AM
My understanding is that it was initially described as a logia, but then indeed changed.
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
I can definitely see Luffy vs. Katakuri ending any way at this point. The fact that they (BM pirates) have all gathered and commented upon that fact on more than one occasion would justify Luffy losing in the end. Though, from fanboy perspective that would be sad :)
The fight has basically been Luffy catching up to his level, so if the fight were to reset with both of them at "full health" I'd imagine Luffy would be victorious… now I don't know what Oda will do. Personally I'd like to see Luffy win, or at the very least knocking Katakuri out of the mirror (with Brulee, somehow) and have him land on his back in front of everyone.
What I don't really like at all about this fight is how Luffy is getting hit over and over. It's been going on for hours. Most of what we see if Luffy getting hit, fast forward a few hours, hit again. I interpret that as Luffy getting hit over and over for a long period of time. I would like to see it as "the fight goes on and on with no clear winner. Luffy is getting hit on rare occasions", that would make it feel more 'realistic' to me.
I suppose most people do see it as "Luffy getting hit all the time", as it feels like that's the way it is presented...
-
RE: Chapter 894: 12:05 AM
I believe he had that power all along but back then I thought it was just his intuition. When everyone will be against a certain crew member, Luffy will be like he/she not a bad person. At impel down, even though he was adviced not to release Jimbe, he stared at Jimbe for a while and said release him.
He couldn't see through Pudding's acting, though :ninja:
-
RE: Chapter 894: 12:05 AM
So Pudding is really underaged cause the duceplets were born 18 years ago and they are older that pudding so that makes her 17 the least
17 and underaged based on which standards?
-
RE: Chapter 894: 12:05 AM
Would have been nice to see Luffy hit him more than once. Would have made it feel more believable once he eventually defeats him.
-
RE: Chapter 893: 36th Daughter of the Charlotte Family - Flampe
I wonder how much of a punching bag Luffy will be for Kaido once he goes up against him, considering how he has been getting spanked around quite a lot recently. Seems to be Oda’s way of showing how strong the enemies are… Sad!
-
RE: Chapter 893: 36th Daughter of the Charlotte Family - Flampe
”He can’t stand properly. Hilarious!” Urgh so meh when characters are just plain awful and just ”love” violence in such a manner.

RE: Chapter 892: Acknowledging a Strong Enemy
I, for one, can’t really tell if it is a hole from the trident, or if it is just the ”impact” being drawn.

Really not a fan of things that ”takes away lifespan”. Urgh.

RE: Chapter 884: Who
Are there no drawbacks for awakening? And if there are, it’d better not be the lame ”consuming lifespan” thing.

Luffy needs to stop being a punching bag already.

Has something happened with the spoiler providers? I saw someone say something last week which gave me a hint of that something has happened. Any idea why we wouldn't get the chapter as usual?

RE: One Piece Chapter 874 - King Baum
Guys… the reason why Katakuri isn't wrecking the ship is obviously because he wants to join the crew. You heard it here first.
The second most obvious reason, like I have seen other people write, is that it would make sense to ambush them if they reach it, and to make sure they actually go to the ship by not destroying it.
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
@Count:
In One Piece Volume 86, Oda changed Katakuri from being a Logia to a "Special Paramecia".
I see. Thanks! 16 chars.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
A bit change of subject:
This is about the admirals design. The ones presented in the main story line (i.e. not Sengoku from flashbacks) are all based on japanese actors. Is there something they have in common, such as genre, popularity or something else?
If so, are there any good predictions about who Green Bull's appearance may be based on? Whether if it's going to be a male, female (or okama, not discriminating here) character.
-
RE: One Piece Chapter 874 - King Baum
RIP King Baum. May you rest until you are brought back again.
Also, lady Tree for nakama. Need more female characters who aren't Nami clones, amirite?
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Where is this about "special paramecia" coming from? Looked back a bit in this thread but couldn't see anything other than it just being discussed.
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Good points.
Guess we need to get some more clues first before we can truly make a reasonable guess as to what that connection could be between Kaidou and Oars sr & jr. Afterall, one could probably think about a lot of different things, e.g. Are the horns genetic, meaning they are related? How does it actually work with giants? How is Saul a giant with D in his name? You get the idea :D
Or maybe someone can actually come up with some coherent which has a lot of support on the matter, unlike myself.
And ofc, it could be some sort of fruit as well. Kaidou is so close now, yet so far away…
-
RE: Chapter 873: Trapped like Sweets in a Cage
Next chapter: BM demands a cake from them. They tell her they have none => BM realize her son lied => Perospero gets killed => Strawhats get away
Checkmate, cake theory!
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
@Count:
Kaido's still going to be related to whatever giant race Oars ad Oars Jr. is though. It couldn't be clearer.
Based on the horns and, relative to regular humans, large size?
-
RE: Chapter 873: Trapped like Sweets in a Cage
Do we have to wait 3 weeks for next chapter? Regular break + holiday?
Or is it just regular break, i.e. 2 weeks?
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
Just a little correction that Sengoku's devil fruit is not "Buddha model", it's "Daibutsu model", which is a Buddha statue, not literally the man/deity/whatever he is himself.
I see! Thank you! I knew I was probably missing something.
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
So if he had a Human-fruit, it would probably not be related to size, though his horns does raise some questions…
All we know about Human fruits is that there are a regular one (Chopper's) and a Buddha model (Sengoku). The latter is our only clue to what other models could be; could there be a Jesus fruit which enables people to walk on water; a Moses one to split the sea; a Mohammed one to cause controversy? Probably not, but what other things would be in the same category as Buddha?
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
I do agree that Kaidou is large, I just don't trust Oda's way of depicting size (as he likes to exaggerate from time to time). Have we, by any chance, had some confirmation of his true size yet?
-
RE: Greg: Teacher of SUPER " OP " course !
I don't know if this has been brought up before (but surely someone else must have thought about it), but I got to ask, since this basically is the pinnacle of theory threads:
We more or less got a lot indicating Kaidou is a dragon zoan, BUT! What if he in fact is a dragon who ate some model of a Human-fruit? I feel that could be one of the explanations for how people refer to him as. Naturally, the reason could be figuratively rather than literally in the way I suggested here. It would be a bit if a twist, if this was the case, and perhaps too meh for the sake of being a twist.
But! If it was a Human-fruit: what model could he possibly be?
-
RE: Chapter 871: "Go Caesar!"
Obviously everyone we actually do care about will escape here, and they got what they came for. What will be the point in taking down BM after Kaidou? I guess the reason probably is to be the best/strongest, or is there some other motivation?
In one way it feels somewhat weird to even have this arc. Not necessarily bad, just a bit different.
-
RE: Chapter 871: "Go Caesar!"
Guys! What if the castle falls on Sheep's House and totally breaks it? Given that the building is still around, which isn't unlikely given Big Mom's obsession with Carmel.
Or is she pissed enough as it is? :)
