Yamato will end up joining and will write a journal (just like Oden) narrating Luffy's adventures and will get all the details from the other members of everything they've been through in the past. However they decided to do this journal in a comic book way and so the OP manga that we're reading is actually Yamato's own journal telling the whole thing. INCEPTION PIECE
Premise: "power levels scales" is bullcrap made up by fans, and these kind of debates have no reason to exist. Having said that, I don't think it's gonna happen, mainly because both Zoro and Sanji will certainly get stronger as well. Regardless, it won't be devastating at all.
I remember when I was catching up during the Water 7 saga and initially thought Paulie would join over Franky… along with many others. Man, those were the days. Still think fighting with ropes is cool and unique, shame it was just a one-off.
Yep, they were! I was team Paulie too when he first appeared
@Zar:
I still really like the role of chronicler for Yamato. It's a bit odd if the last member took that role, but at the same time having someone chronicle their adventure to find One Piece would be very atmospheric. Whatever they find is gonna change the world so it's gonna be important there's a record of what happened. I can totally see Yamato sailing around after their journey and telling the story of the Strawhats and whatever the dawn is to people around the world.
In a way it makes him a pair with Robin; one reads the ancient history while the other records the new history.
What if the whole One Piece story we're reading has been written/narrated by Yamato as a testament for future generations? boom, mind blown
Just kidding, I agree that Yams hasn't really shown to be that much interested into writing at least until now…
Very cool chapter! I like the flashback with little cute Yamato, it's a very interesting story with lots of hints and lots of things that still needs to be adressed… I'm thirsty for more
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's a little too soon for another Straw Hat to surpass the billion mark. Unless Luffy is officially seen as a new Yonkou and Zoro and Sanji get commanders' bounties, which I guess could make sense too.
Otherwise I'm expecting Luffy to reach around 2.5b, Zoro and Sanji on the 600-800m range, and Jimbe just behind them.
I mean, if he ends up "beating" two Yonkous at once he'll probably be seen at least as a new one himself if not something even bigger…
I think Lolonoa was what the Swedish trans went with.
Which i kinda liked tbh, sounds like a French pirate name or something
Which is where it's from if I remember correctly, right? His name is a japanezation of François "L'Olonnais", a french pirate
I was excited for SW translated to anime… seems like I was right! They all look very cool
That's very cool! Someone should make a post pointing to all the characters, there are so many!
Ps. How many Wallys there are supposed to be?
