10 short of 500 gems at the moment. Can I do it before the "real" Anni-Sugo? If I can't, I'll be buying some to give me ~550

RE: Chapter 855: Growwwwwwlll!
Looks like Brook won't ever got his wish at this point. If she doesn't show them to you at this point after doing such an outstanding deed, she never will. Then again, he should have been satisfied with getting Momo treatment.
Also speaking of Nami, I'm loving the new expressions she's being given in this arc. Aside from the usual sad/angry/happy faces where's seeing a lot more quirky Oda-esque expressions lately. The eye bulging will never not be funny.
Brook was also in top form here. Him being afraid of the decoy skeleton was very funny as was him waking up and falling right back peacefully to sleep in seconds

RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Last one was
drummroll
Iceberg. A silver, but at least someone new again. So far I got three of the new ones through these pulls plus one new gold (Sugar). Not nearly as bad as Decembers'

RE: 775: ''Save the Giant Elephant - The Straw Hats' Great Rescue Operation!''
This was certainly one of the better filler episodes, since it at least tied into the canon well enough and seemed like something that could have happened in the story. Also, anyone who didn't read the manga would be more or less convinced that Carrot was joining the crew as an official member soon. Which isn't exactly ruled out right now, but….
Assuming the island Nami spoke of is upcoming filler, I hope it is a sight better than that GOLD tie-in we got last year. Surely Toei can surpass that low bar, right?

RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Man, Akainu took ages to drop. Easily over 200 tries. First I get the title, then I try the "easiest" one (#11) for several days but all I have to show for it is CC and beli bags even on the double drop days and several meat snails). Only today did I get fed up with that stage and go for #14 and lo and behold he drops–after another 20-30 tries, but oh well. Now I'm finally caught up in ftp units.
On a side note, I also got Kuina on my free pull. Yes, a poor silver unit, but a new one and new characters are all I really ask for with these pulls these days. A sight better than last week's Koza, that's for sure.
-
RE: Chapter 854: What Am I Doing
Well, it's official now – Luffy is going to eat the bento box. The meat virtually assures it. IT seems particularly in this chapter, Sanji is subconsciously thinking "This is Luffy's food, hands off!" when attacking Bobbin
Also, it does seem like Sanji is aware of exactly how the Vinsmoke execution is going down -- knowing that the other vinsmokes won't be killed unless he is killed first. In addition, Reiju's willingness to be killed alongside them seems to have rubbed off on Sanji in some way though Sanji instinctively knows that this isn't right and that the Straw Hats still need him no matter how he justifies his sacrifice.
how big can that castle be that there are "rumors" instead of reports? seems a little too convenient that the sons don't know about jinbe,nami and luffy escaping, despite them roaming the castle just a couple of minutes before.
I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt here. Firstly, the use of the word "rumors" could easily be Mangastream being loose with the translation. Secondly, the word of a sweet commander would overrule all other reports in addition to the collective knowledge in the room that Opera would be roasted alive on a spit by Big Mom for telling such a lie, so they are trusting his word assuming he wouldn't dare lie about such a thing.

RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
After how horrible Decembers' free pulls were, I was astonished when the free pull gave me Sugar! Been hoping for that one.
Also I did pull during the sugofest, but only two to tide me over. Ended up getting Doctor Hiriluk and Leo, both new units for me.
Lastly, it seems that Jean Bart is one of the first new secret stage recruits in a very long time that is actually evolvable. Can't remember the last one as the all the ones in recent memory were one-off gold posters. And yet Bepo still refuses to drop. Been an odd pattern with me lately where I would get the secret stage soon but the actual boss will just keep dropping chests.
-
RE: 774: ''The Defensive Battle of Zo - Luffy and Zunisha!''
They would have shown some of it in the preview if that was the case. It'll all be about saving Zunesha
The filler arc looks like it will be a whole episode-length adventure detailing the first page of 822, where they talk of bandaging and healing Zunisha of its wounds. So we might just see bits of that one page. That is, assuming this filler isn't more than one episode long.
I imagine it will revolve around them trying to find natural ingredients on the island in order make a salve soon enough to stop Zunisha's bleeding or some sort of infection. It also looks like there will be a filler island judging by the last two clips.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
I'm up to over 400 right now, but that's because I've been saving since September. Will probably buy more when the anni comes so I have around 500 gems (10 multipulls) to work with.
-
RE: Chapter 852: The Germa Failure
By the way, why did Jinbe need a bucket to put out the fire?
I assume because Jinbei can't make water appear out of nowhere so given the plan, he had to to bring some nearby to "control" the dousing of Luffy and Nami
-
RE: Chapter 850: Ray of Hope
The early spoilers did not accurately convey Sanji's reaction at the end. He is clearly in between rage and despair at that moment, his heart clearly broken (putting it mildly!). His next action will almost certainly to free Luffy and Nami all the while keeping up the act of loving her from then on.
Also, I really don't think this is a Cavendish situation. I mean she's kinda crazy but she's clearly Big Mom's "best" child in terms of sheer ruthlessness and someone she handpicked to keep up the act.
Also, big question now is where the Bege faction will go. They are part of Mom's crew, but are clearly in admiration of the Vinsmokes. Would they willingly take part in their destruction? Or is that part of Bege's plan all along, to first allow the Vinsmokes to be killed, personally take charge of the army and use it to betray Mom? He can't really ally with the SHs because he twice tried to execute Pekoms.
As far as the Vinsmokes after this is all settled, I am starting to think Reiju will eventually be the head with her father and siblings either imprisoned or forced to work as underlings in a new "good" army. That is assuming the army will remain after all this. I mean, if you don't use a clone army as a villain, using a clone army as a good guy seems kinda strange and the science itself seems to dangerous to fall into the wrong hands.
Lastly, I agree with MS going overboard with the swearing. Was sort of a thing they had some time ago in Dressrosa where every time someone shouted, they had to drop an F-bomb somewhere. Disappointed to see that return and always with the SHs. Villains generally seem more appropriate for that or even Sanji but instead we get more out-of character phrasing like Luffy calling someone "that fucking bitch." So totally Oda, right?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Gonna be nice seeing Sanji cooperating with his family. Maybe even some reconciliation between them? Probably for the moment then Daddy V gonna show his bastard colors again. Unless he'll do something to redeem himself and sacrifice for Sanji? Yeah not very luckily but maybe….
I actually think that Sanji may be considering allowing Big Mom to kill the rest of his family while avoiding being killed himself and saving Reiju. I have little doubt he hates his family that much. He would only warn Reiju, but I seriously doubt he cares about the fate of the Vinsmokes or their army
The only issue there is that it seems the killing will take place after the wedding, so Sanji would still technically be bound to Big Mom's crew thereafter and married to a woman who he knows doesn't love him (to say the least). So - eh - it looks like he will have to very reluctantly save the rest of his family

RE: Funi TV Discussion (Saturday Night/Sunday Morning 1:00 a.m., USA Toonami)
I have to agree that cutting the openings is a far lesser evil than traditional syndication packages, which cut actual content from the episodes to make ad time. And by association, better than some networks that tweak the actual playspeed of content so each segment ends sooner (as in "subtly" fast forwarding it) though that is generally older content.

RE: Chapter 849 - Bropper in Mirrorland
So the frog turns back to normal when Brûlée is unconscious, yet the mirror world is still functional?
Only one explanation there: Mirror World is real! Brulee power merely accesses it. Sort of like the 4th dimension that Blueno accesses with his air doors.

RE: Chapter 848 - "Goodbye"
So, BM won't let anything dampen her spirits because she will get Tamatebako, Germa and an awesome cake.
So, Tamatebako is going to blow up into her face, we know she won't get her hands on Germa and I'm starting to question if she will get even a taste of that cake.
Oh she's gonna be pissed.
Yeah, she's going to go absolutely insane. Far moreso than the "Moe, Larry, the cheese!" rampage we saw earlier. It'll take more than food to calm her down this time.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
For those unaware, 60 stamina needs to be completed to evolve Tesoro because completing the stage grants you one solitary Rainbow Armored Crab, whose sole use is to be Tesoro's evolver (yes, Tesoro evolves at lvl 99). This is also the only known way to get the rainbow armored crab.
Edit: Apparently the crab appears in the place of the Elder seahorse on 60 stamina randomly. Good, I suppose, if you want to have an extra one as a collectible for watever reason (or accidentally delete evolved Tesoro)
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Finally got every unique character in Impel Down (I'm including Blugori & wolf). I know that Minozebra and Minotauros are going to appear in a future fortnight, but I had the time to spare. One thing I will note is that I have encountered and insane number of beli bag drops this past week. Drop rate seems high for story isles, but it was 90% beli bags, 5% chests and 5% posters. Never seen an island quite that one-sided, except for rare individual stages. The only ones that weren't like this were Magellan and Hannyabal whom you're lucky to see drop anything at all.
Also I am skipping this Sugo too. I'm now curious to see how many free gems I can hoard until then.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Finally got Hannyabal after about 70 tries. Sure enough, Sadie dropped sooner. Still, I'm pleased.
-
RE: Chapter 847 - Luffy and Big Mom
Biggest revelation so far: Doskoi Panda is reeeeaaal!!
Get a feeling we'll have something similar to ID and DS scenario?
Book prisoners being freed and causing ruckus, I mean.
It's gonna happen and it's gonna be awesome. Also, if Luffy intends on taking on the Big Mom Pirates this arc, he's gonna need all the allies he can get.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Sphinx seems like it has a high drop rate, at least higher than Blugori. I had a total of 5 drops in the row, with (surprise, surprise) only the last drop yielding a poster.
Hyannabal is being stubborn though. Two appearances, yet he refuses to to drop anything after tens of runs. At this rate Sadie will drop sooner
Getting Mr. Tanaka on 10 stamina cheered me up though. More time to spend farming for the mighter Under-warden
-
RE: 765: ''Let's Go See Master Nekomamushi''
Brook's music video was the highlight, and the second half was pretty good. Those segments also had some spruced up artwork.
The bees though….
-
RE: Chapter 846 - Egg Defense
Anyone think that one of the real motivations of Big Mom's appeal toward several marriages is revealed here: Wedding Cake! Would be appropriately absurdist if that is one of Big Mom's main reasons for going along with Sanji's deal. (watch that wedding cake be a homie!). Though obviously she also wants a widely dynastic matriarchy, but we all know just how major BM's sweet tooth is.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
On kinda unrelated topics, Why is "Young" Robin's droprate so horrible?
It sucks, but I've had worse. THough I haven't been farming it as much as I did the SW fortnight.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Young Chopper is there, but his skillbooks are pretty rare for me. Usually the secret stage character books flood these stages.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
It doesn't have to be the 2 year per say. Just a future sugo that has all gold + across-the-board legend rate boosts. Which all signs point to the 2 year.
Hoarding up will also mitigate any unlucky yolo multipulls. Currently at 200 gems and growing.

RE: Chapter 845 - "The Enraged Army"
@Dr.:
It might be, even though it's still more likely he was just impressed by her. Moreover his words when he say: "You… are my only "savior" right now" (speaking of which, why MS put savior inside the inverted commas? how was it written in japanese? maybe Oda was hinting at something there) could also be interpreted as, "you're the only one who can help me to get out of this mess".
The leaks used the word "salvation" so I don't think savior is too far off the mark. Would be interested to know the Japanese word used.
-
RE: Volume 83 Predictions/Discussion
@Al!naJames:
That's exactly the point though? It's not a part of the story, but because it's not covered doesn't mean it doesn't happen? We don't see characters portrayed going to bathrooms but that doesn't mean they don't go there for their regular humans needs. And Oda didn't even bring this up in-story, making a vague suggestion in a Q&A page doesn't really do much.
We did get a panel of Magellan taking a shit shortly after his first fight with Luffy. Truly a watershed moment in the series
-
RE: Volume 83 Predictions/Discussion
Eh, seems more like Oda admitting he wanted to have some sort of warped relationship history between Doffy and Violet but decided not to in a very early rough draft idea in the arc. Doesn't have to be sexual but "serious".
I had once theorized that Viola willingly got "very close" to Doflamingo at one point in order to sabotage him in a way similar to Corozon. Essentially playing a Mata Hari in hopes of one day assassinating him. Only that Corozon's betrayal of Doflamingo's trust made him highly suspicious of any newcomers and Doffy, unably to prove her treachery, decided to simply keep her at arms length and out of the Family's inner circle. Remnants of this MO as a femme fatale exists during her wooing of Sanji and presumed plan to execute him after peering into his mind and proving Sanji a liar.
Also there seemed to be some hints at something more during Doffy vs Viola, where she may have at least been less disposable to Doffy than the likes of Bellamy. Though in the end, there was nothing more than potentially misleading hints.
Could also hint that Oda wanted to make Viola more of a traitor and Monet-like. Because she'd have to be as crazy and callous as him to really make any relationship work even in the short-term.
This also indicates that Oda was showing interest not only in enlarging the focus on romantic relationships in the series (something we have already been seeing) but interest in showing more off-beat and unhealthy ones as well. This is something that may crop up in future volumes if the publisher decides to relent.
More funny that Shueisha decided to publish this. Because manga authors no doubt make some ribald comments on their own time, and these answered more than likely go to the publishers' office before being printed. Either Shueisha doesn't feel the need to censor Oda or this one slipped through the cracks.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Dr.:
I think Oda wants to leave the matter of sex, as well as much more things, to the interpretation of the individual readers, if they think it would be weird and out of place in One Piece, good, otherwise if they prefer to think something happened between 2 certain characters, good as well. In the end such discussions leads to nowhere because they are based on a story that has been built intrinsecally ambiguous about the matter of sex, we can only express what we prefer to think. I'm sticking with the former anyway.
Well, there was the Baroque works coverstory where Miss Valentine and Mr 5 were stranded alone on Little Garden for quite a while and were revealed to be living a primitive lifestyle together in what essentially amounted to their underwear.
-
RE: Chapter 845 - "The Enraged Army"
Dang, even the find-the-key plot point is being rehashed.
Honestly, most arcs since Alabasta had a find/deliver the key subplot if you look hard enough.
-
RE: Chapter 845 - "The Enraged Army"
Haha, Big Mom's motherly advice is hilarious. That crew is such a trip!
There's also a ton of Big Mom pirates. Gonna be like the WB pirates where there is just this huge menagerie that could likely only get minimal screen time. Though it makes more sense when considering they are Yonkou that not even the WG can dislodge
I don't think a marriage is going to happen now that I've read the chapter, since it does seem to indicate "the end of the road" for Sanji as a Straw Hat but this does offer a strong possibility that he has actually found true love–in stark contrast to the sillier infatuation with Violet, where even the serious bits were more tongue in cheek.
Also don't know why this is compared more with Robin. Feels an awful more like Ace's execution in many ways, given that the situation seems more major in scope, the focus on father figures, alliances vs alliances, the likelihood that Big Mom, like the WG, will reneg on their promise to leave their original crew alone. Heck, Big Mom and the Vinsmokes haven't even agreed to spare the SHs.
Although here's once comparison that I don't here mentioned enough....that the Zeus and Prometheus ability is actually kinda similar to the Buster Call. Though really, most arcs have some sort of big cataclysmic ability or protocol in them. Whole Cakes' is Z&P.
Though even with the similarities, it's still not clear how this is going to play out, other than Sanji ultimately reuniting with the crew and the Road Poneglyph being copied one way or another. Though I would expect the Vinsmokes to be destroyed in this arc due to the lingering threat on Zeff's life. Even if Sanji's rescued, they could just kill Zeff out of revenge. Less clear if Luffy is even able to engage the Big Mom pirates in a decisive manner, let alone Capone's boys. Looks more likely they are going to have to cut and run, leaving the BM pirates merely humiliated.

Congrats on catching em all!~ Aphelandra is in Marguerite FN though btw, and not as a rare. =P
And re: the new impel down FN, you can get Minotauros and Minozebra but story Hannyabal is a no go.
Aww, well it didn't take that long and thankfully her stage does include both red and blue lobsters.
I forgot that Minotauros was (until now) story exclusive. Always confuse him with Minokoala. I might still end getting the 'taurs in story mode anyway, but if they're too annoying, I'll wait
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Marigold dropped a lot faster than expected, in two additional tries. Guess that wraps it up for AL and I suppose that makes Aphelandra the most difficult farm for me, trolling with a first-try beli bag, then dropping noting else until 50 or so more (thank you, meat rate up snails)
-
RE: Chapter 843: Vinsmoke Sanji
Sanji's reaction is pretty much expected, but I did not think he would go this far. Though it does seem like the crew should know that his act is complete BS, given that Nami did the same thing in Arlong Park and Luffy has never given up on a crew member but is sometimes too dumb to know why they act that way. I would assume she is crying because she sympathizes with his situation.
This is more in line with what Nami said to Usopp & Luffy rather in Arlong Park rather than Water 7, though. Robin was more cryptic in that one and it was more of what she did (allegedly kill Iceburg) than what she said. Of course there is less reason to believe in a Sanji betrayal than those two, who were introduced as fairly mysterious or selfish characters, especially given Sanji's actions in Zou. This is why unlike the Robin & Nami situations, there is no pretense of "did Sanji betray them?" because the reader was outright told and shown why Sanji can't reunite with the SHs.
Unlike the earlier instances, the only intended mystery is whether Sanji has a plan to escape his predicament or is just going to resign himself to the ultimate fate as a tool of the Vinsmokes.
I am very interested to see where Sanji vs Luffy goes. Will sanji tip off Luffy mid-fight? Because I'm sort of envisioning a mock fight where Luffy loses and is brought to the castle to be later freed in secret. I mean, Sanji has to know that he can't beat Luffy and if he does lose, the other Vinsmokes may succeed.
I'm really curious to see what Oda does with Luffy after this fight. Trap him in between buildings again? Lol
Well, we should all expect Luffy to be "detained" yet again given that he is a walking demi-god during actual fights. Maybe be will be frozen and entombed in a block of peanut brittle for 20 chapters? But my theory is capture. Sorta similar to Thriller Bark.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Kikyo was starting to seem like a mini-Roswald for a bit. 4 beli bags and a CC drop before finally allowing a poster drop plus being one of the more annoying boss stages. Luckily, these drops happened mostly one after the other (2 beli bags in a row, CC and then the poster right after), so it wasn't nearly as bad as having 1 beli bag troll every day for multiple days. Curiously, she seems to be the only character that drops a gold poster.
All that is left is Boa Marigold
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Best:
Only sad thing is that the Amazon Lily story characters are almost useless. Of course the Boa Sisters are okish because of their poisoning ability (especially with a Magellan and/or Legend Lucci combo).
Yeah, they can join the club in my character box where the useless to useful ratio is around 10:1. This is mostly for pokedex completion and collection purposes.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
@Best:
Super special future tip for the Impel Down story arc: Don't bother tooooooo much trying to farm Story Hannyabal, he will appear as a secret character in the newest Japan fortnight.
Thanks. Also seems like the purple Zebra awakened zoan thing is there too, which appears to also be making its non-story debut.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Focused on Amazon Lily and got pretty lucky so far, getting 4 out of 6 of the unique characters. Pretty good for 24 hrs.
Also helps that these Amazon Lily stages require less stamina overall than Sabaody's stages did.
-
RE: 760: ''The Capital Destroyed - The Curly Hats Arrive!''
I thought this was well done. Quite a bit of fight filler in the beginning, but I'm not complaining. Delivered some good Cat Viper face porn during that one sequence.
I fully expected the ending shot to have some level of censorship, and honestly, it could have been worse. At least we were allowed to see the severed stump unlike the episode where Kyros cut off puppet Doflamingo's head. Outside of the additional blood stains/wounds, were were spared the close-ups of blood dripping from their severed limbs.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
YES! Box space is expanding by 200 to a max of 1100! I can finally just farm & hoard in marathons like the good old days without having to make space every 3 or 4 runs.
Happening on the 16th.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
True, the turtles are now normal again, but the turtles that have been pulled earlier still retain their godly power in the character box. Gonna be holding onto those puppies for just the right character.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Still not pulling. Half because I want to save my gems for "the big one" and half because my box space is starting to get cramped by trying to make a collectors' account. Either a box expansion happens or I wait for a top-tier sugo.
-
RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Turtles are completely broken. The only real reason to pull for me. Luckily I didn't go all out during the last turtle FP event, so I did a full 100 pulls.
Seems like the only real big new pool is Long Ring Long Land. Sure, Kaku and Lucci can appear from Water 7, but none of the other crappier units from what I saw aside from Tilestone. Then again, all else that could be expected was Zambai and his ugly trio, so it's probably for the best that they weren't there.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The turtles are bugged and they give the EXP of its "evolution" (Baby gives the EXP of Daimyo, Daimyo the EXP of Elder, Elder the EXP of Hime)
While the baby comparison is true, the broken Daimyo gives roughly 20% more than an elder and the broken Elder gives almost twice as much as a Hime!!

RE: One piece treasure cruise (7/11 Never Forget)
Holy Shiiiii(ki)…. Shiki is the mystery raid boss next week! Unless he's nerfed (he won't be), it's gonna be one brutal raid. Though I coincidentally have both Legend Doffy and Legend Marco, so I may survive this (no Sugar though)
This leaves Nightmare Luffy for the same week as Halloween imo. I don't believe Frieza will replace him in that week given he is not a "real" raidboss and will both appear within a week of each other. NM Luffy as a Halloween raid is just too much of a convenient gimmick to pass up.
