i actually think that the black n white guy is that Iva guy. he's dressed as half black and half white. and being an okama, he's half male n half female. and he seems weird enough to be an okama king/queen or whateverbut we'll see next week i guess (hoping that there will be a chapter next week)

RE: Chapter 535 "Buddy" Discussion
yes..maybe you are right, never think that way before, and that would be a great twist…using WB only as diversion... However, I dont think Dragon would be that easily to came out and save ace, he is a type of people who would abandon his ow child for a greater cause, he has done it when ace is still a kid, and I dont see any reason why he would come and save ace now.
Yes, while Dragon might seem to be the type, this event too, might seem irresistible to him. He can launch an attack from behind while they are busy fighting Whitebeard from the front. Making a coup is always easier when the government is at war with another side. And he gets to save his kid in the process, this is what makes me think that Dragon will show up, and the World Government will be expecting for him.
I have to disagree with those that thinks that the declaration of war is a foolish plan, or poor planning. The organization known as the World Government has been around for 800 years, surely poor planning is not the reason for it. In fact, I think i have another theory as to why the Tenryuubiito is given such incredible status.
The founders of the World Government will, of course, know their darkest secrets. Since there are 20 of those kings, who can say that the secrets are safe, and hopefully, lost in time. So instead of fearing that one day those secrets would come out and threatens their position, why not giving those descendants special treatments and facilities, that way they would be too comfortable and spoiled that rebelling would be the last thing in their mind.This is, of course, based on the assumption that the Gorosei (or whoever the leader of World Government) isn't necessarily the descendants of the founders

RE: Chapter 535 "Buddy" Discussion
"So you think that the WG have enough strength to take on White beard AND DRAGON? who, according to you is more dangerous then al 4 yonkou combined?
I think that chance is slim to nothing x 2
If that was the case I think the WG would have already taken over the New World long ago, won't you agree? or just destroyed White beard, seeing that doens't pose any problems for the WG.
No, this is just too illogical"I'm sorry i didnt say it more clearly, just like bounty does not measure someone's strength, Dragon is more dangerous than the 4 Yonkous combined because i think he has some knowledge of the void century, that fact scared the shit out of them back on Ohara, so I would presume that Dragon must have some knowledge in them. Assumptions apart, the fact remains. All the Yonkous have not yet show any concern in taking down the World Government, they are going after One Piece and the Pirate King title. So far only Dragon is concern about rebelling. Does that not make him more dangerous then the 4 Yonkous combined?
Does the World Government have enough strength to face both Dragon AND Whitebeard?? truth be told: I dont know. But is it possible? I think so. The 3 Admirals, 6 Shichibukai, their massive armies (I know that they are mostly just fodders, but still the sheer number of them might give even Whitebeard a scratch), AND lastly Dr. Vegapunk! Why him? He made Kuma clones, we saw what 1 can do and who knows how many more of them Vegapunk has made, imagine an entire batallion of Pacifista… And who knows what other technologies he has got up his sleeve?
I'm not saying I'm right or reading Oda's mind or anything, I'm just throwing out the chances. And since all of us doesnt know shit whats going on in Oda's mind, I can safely say that my guess is as good as yours

RE: Chapter 535 "Buddy" Discussion
i posted this in another thread, but I think i have a theory that might be the answer to ur question. "Why would they be willing to take such huge risk "just" to kill Whitebeard?, and instead of just killing Ace in Impel Down, they have to drag him and execute him in public. Well, i personally think that its actually because Whitebeard is not the one they are really trying to lure. Its Dragon!! You announce that u want to steal a gold to hide the fact that u r really trying to steal a diamond. Its the perfect chance to lure out the world's most wanted man, u have his son in captive! I bet that the World Government currently have no idea where Dragon's hideout is, let alone his next move. But Whitebeard? I can always find out where he is, so the World Government are willing to take all those risk, because this will most likely be the only chance they'll get to lure Dragon from his hideout. And from their perspective, i'd say Dragon is more dangerous then the four Yonkous combined, so obviously the risk is worth to take

RE: The War With Whitebeard
Dragon getting involved in this matter is really possible, the World Government knows that Ace is Garp's grandson and thus Dragon's son. So i wouldnt be surprised if they are, infact, expecting Dragon to be present, catching 2 birds with 1 stone. Infact, i think that its the main reason for Ace's open execution, if u think about it, why would they declare war with Whitebeard anyway? If they want to get rid of the world's strongest person, well, there are 3 more people like Whitebeard in the New World why not just pit them with each other and stab the winner from the back? That would make more sense, but declaring a war and risk being stabbed by the the other Yonkous? They wouldn't take that sort of risk unless they have a bigger fish to catch. So i guess what i'm trying to say is that I'm betting that this whole thing is actually a setup for Dragon.

RE: Theories on how the crew will reunite…
so basically sanji will bring a whole bunch of okama?? i'd love to see Bon Clay's face when he finds out and not to mention the trip to shabondy would be somewhat a pain in the ass for sanji…literally. So, no i dont think they will be bringing anyone from each of their respective island. But i would kinda like it if they meet up at shabondy and somehow rayleigh will act as temp captain and lead them to go get luffy (in Impel Down or wherever; or how they found out where luffy is, or why they think they need to go get their captain is beyond me)

RE: Chapter 530 "Hell to Hell" Discussion
just finished watching the trailer. aaaaaaaaaand IT IS!!!!! so the main enemy for movie 10 is the first person ever to break out of Impel Down. i wonder if we'll hear more about him in this arc

RE: Chapter 530 "Hell to Hell" Discussion
waitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminutewaitaminute…
gold lion????? i just realized something. have you guys watched the trailer for One Piece movie 10?? if i remember correctly, the main enemy is called Gold Lion. and its the first time Oda has written a story outside of the manga. so it could very well be related. (opening youtube and checking the trailer) -
RE: Chapter 530 "Hell to Hell" Discussion
5 demon guards…. i know you would probably think i'm just making it up or forcing up similarities, but..... i'm thinking apocalypse's 4 horsemen : war, famine, plague, and death. but since Impel Down has a kinda Nazi-Egyptian theme, it might not happen. does anybody now if egyptian myth has some sort of 4 demons and stuff?

RE: Chapter 529 "Beast Hell" Discussion
@ flandrian15 : never thought of it like that, but yeah! it'll be cool n funny
@ daeji : i also dont know how they'll know where luffy is. but i'm sure oda will figure out somethingever since shabondy arch. this story has really spun out of control. no one can really predict whats going to happen now. for all we know sengoku himself could end up being the final boss there. though i kinda liked the idea of them (Luffy, buggy, mr.3, and whoever they end up joining with) teaming up to beat the shit out of the final boss (much like oz's case)
-
RE: Chapter 529 "Beast Hell" Discussion
well. this is what i'd really like to see in this arc. the rest of the SH crew will probably arrive at shabondy before luffy. and after they are reunited they would head out to luffy, and led by none other then Rayleigh (since luffy got his own temp crew in ID, i suppose the real crew could have a temp leader) and the reunion will happen either at ID or wherever it is ace will be executed. (but for the second scenario to happen, ace must somehow be transported from ID, so luffy was late to save him there, but managed to break jimbei free)

RE: Chapter 528 "Jinbei, the Yakuza of the Sea" Discussion
hancok - lust cuz she sez she luvs some1
jimbe - he gunna die 4 da war so he pride
moria - he sloth cuz he lazy
kuma - he has a niknam n he mean 2 SH so he rath
doflimngo - he gredy cuz he wanna rule new worl
mihawk - zoro wann fite m so he enve
bb - he eat pie > gluttnywhy the fuck does that even matter? Half of these are ridiculously forced and don't even make sense. The whole ordeal is stupid as shit anyway, since we've seen 8 shichibukai (Blackbeard took Crocodile's place).
lol. it doesnt matter to the general storyline, but as a general trivia its interesting (to me at least). someone once connected the shichibukai with the seven sins (i forgot which forum that was posted on) and i kinda liked the idea. And yes some of us are trying to find pattern to almost everything, why?? because thats fun to us, i guess everybody finds their fun their own way
Hancock : lust because her DF kinda requires people to "fall in love" with her to work
Jimbei : pride because it said so in the chapter
Moria : sloth because, clearly, he is lazy
Kuma : wrath beacuse his nickname was "violent" Kuma, so i'm just assuming he was vicious in the past
Blackbeard : gluttony (apart from the obvious pie ), his DF suck anything and everything. in other words he "eats" everything
DoFlamingo : its still not clear, but judging from his deal with the slave trading business i kinda guess that his motivations will mainly about money or power
Mihawk : envy, well, because its the only one left but we still dont know very much about him anyway -
RE: Chapter 528 "Jinbei, the Yakuza of the Sea" Discussion
jimbe : the man of pride (if the translation is correct). So there you have it folks. The seven sins : Lust (Hancock), Pride (Jimbei), Sloth (Moria), Wrath (Kuma), Greed (DoFlamingo), Envy (Mihawk), and Gluttony (Blackbeard). Btw the last 3 is just a guess since we need to find out more about them

RE: Chapter 524 "No One Can Stop This Now" Discussion
i thought there was a criteria about what a future-SH-crew-to-be should have when u guys were arguing whether brooke will join or not. As i remembered it was kinda like :
- tragic past
- dream or ambition that requires it reach Raftel
- suitable position (or job, if u will) in the crew
Boa has the first. second is unknown, and third is..i cant think of one yet. For Robin, although she seems useless in terms of daily ship activity, she is the bla-bla-bla on poneglyphs, which i'm pretty sure is going to be very important later, or else Oda wouldnt put her there in the first place. Anyway, unless Boa fullfills the number 2 and 3, its unlikely she'll join. (and dont say 'her dream is to be with Luffy').
Though i have a different opinion how Boa will play out in the end. Luffy asks her to join, she'll want to but then she will have to turn it down because in the end she chose her crew and her people. She's a shichibukai, and quiting it and joining a pirate crew means betrayal to the WG, and thus her people will be at stake. It wont be as easy as Franky, where his gang is simply erased from guilt list and the blame put on franky alone. So thats whats gonna happen, Luffy asks, she turned it down and just wait for Luffy to come back as the pirate king and pick her up. Happy ending for everyone :):)
-
RE: Chapter 524 "No One Can Stop This Now" Discussion
i agree. but i kinda think that they are all sent to improve their power (in their own respect of course, nami doesnt need to gain physical strength). So i'm kinda in the line of thinking, how will robin improve her power by being there (well, u could argue that knowledge is power and i would agree to that, but its'll be interesting if she could explore further what her DF power could do)
-
RE: Chapter 524 "No One Can Stop This Now" Discussion
well. the supernovas joining the fight isnt out of the question u know. Kizaru returned with lots of pirate captives sent to Impel Down. Luffy is heading there right now to free Ace. u do the math :):):):)
-
RE: Chapter 524 "No One Can Stop This Now" Discussion
lemme see.
- luffy : sent to learn haki
- zoro : my guess would to learn to cut non-solid objects (perona's ghost), prolly with the help of haki as well
- nami : learn more about weather (prolly upgrade her clima-tact)
- ussopp : bravery, and maybe something to upgrade his pachinko, or just his bullets (i doubt he'll learn haki)
- sanji : he has to run for his life, so i guess he's training his leg there
chopper : no idea currently :) - robin : hmmm also no idea
- franky : body upgrade
- brooke : he'll lead the rebellion against long-arm tribe (if the translations r correct). so he's training

RE: Chapter 522 "Deadly Disease" Discussion
I really dont understand that so many people could pass judgment on 'bad writing', i mean i never knew that this forum is filled with so many writers, or literature critics to actually define what bad writing is. All i know about bad writing is that if i had finished reading a story to the end and it sucked, and thats after the story is over, and even that is a subjective opinion. So please, explain to me what bad writing is

RE: Shichibukai strength
o my god. are we still in the bounties argument?? the government put the numbers on the bounties = human made those numbers. not some power level indicator like in dbz. those numbers were made based on assumptions on how strong they are and what possible threat they posses. god-like strength but never go against the WG = low bounty, and vice versa. and its still based on their assumption, it can be right it can be wrong. so can we just please get over this bounty thing

RE: Chapter 515 "Adventures on the Isle of Women" Discussion
Margaret is awesome, if she really becomes the tenth member, ill be so funny if she asks for Luffy's "golden balls" in front of Sanji, lol
imagine what'll happen if Margaret ever ask Sanji for his golden ball…
Anyway, the arc seemed a good relief from all the tensions from before. I just pray that this reunion thingy wont take that long ( i mean seriously... this arc could take up at the very least 6-7 chapters. multiply that by 9 and u got a whole year).
And i'm really curious as to whether all the crew are separated, or some of them ended up together (in a group of three i hope, so it saves time). And will the reunion happen at Shabondy or some of them will meet up on the way (after Amazon Lily, Luffy headed for Shabondy and on the way he meets his crew in the order of which they joined. kinda cool but takes up a hell of a long time) -
RE: Chapter 514 "Only Mushrooms are Sprouting from his Body" Discussion
okay, let us all cross our fingers that Oda wont be taking this separation (if they are indeed separated) with a lot of chapters. And the next thing i'm really curious about is How are they going to get back to Shabondy???? i mean, sure just follow the vivre card, but they'll need to cross the sea and navigate (well, probably just build or take a ship and rely on the card), Kuma isnt going to come and pick them up one by one. I'll really like it if they are reunited again and then back to Shabondy, wand in order of how they joined the crew.
Kinda think of it, someone mentioned that all crew has numbers on the chapter title in which the joined (eg: Zoro = the first, Nami = the second, etc etc) except for certain crew members. Well this is probably the chance for them to get that chapter title.
-
RE: Chapter 514 "Only Mushrooms are Sprouting from his Body" Discussion
yeah, its a bit of a disappointment that this chapter didnt go as expected. but hey, thats Oda for you!! nobody here predicted this is going to happen, so lets wait and see how this plays out. Nad i agree, that i would also like for a couple of members to be together. (though usually zoro will end up alone)
-
RE: Chapter 514 "Only Mushrooms are Sprouting from his Body" Discussion
You know, if Kuma is really sending them to where they want to go for 'vacations', then i dont think Luffy is as innocent about women as i thought.
On another note, i think Kuma can control his 'sending people away' trick, i mean he can definitely control it to 'teleport' himself in close distance, so no reason why he cant control it for farther distances.
And the question still continues: "Are the SH together on that island, or is it Luffy alone?"
-
RE: Chapter 513 "I couldn't even…!!!" Discussion
uhm i just got another idea. I think they were all sent to Mariejoa. Why? First its because the place isn't that far away from Shabondy, so they wont have too much trouble going back to meet Rayleigh. Second, because that will the last place people will look or even suspect they will be. Oftenly the most dangerous place is the safest place to be.
And anyway, it could be interesting, Oda can show us how things are in the Red Line, and there might be anther meeting with the Tenryuubito, heck they could even wreak another havoc with the Tenryuubito and force the WG and the marines to split their forces amidst the battle with Whitebeard. Or they could just lay low and heal up and return. Or…....Vegapunk enters....
Well, anyway if they are really sent to Mariejoa. Remember folks. U heard it here first. (or if anyone else posted this idea before me, well u heard it there first. not here) :D
-
RE: Chapter 513 "I couldn't even…!!!" Discussion
Garp can only hurt Luffy, because he is his grandfather. If he weren't, his punch would have no effect. That is why it was called a "fist of love". Nami can hurt Luffy too.^^
Thats what i thought at first, but then Sentoumaru hurt Luffy too. So either theres a certain technique, or Sentoumaru has hearts on Luffy, or maybe thats just Oda's explanation. U got to put heart in your punch LOL
-
RE: Chapter 513 "I couldn't even…!!!" Discussion
Well. i dont exactly mind how people react to each chapter, u can write whatever and however u want. Just remember that this is a community, so there are social consequences: people might ignore you, approve to what you say, flame you, or even ban you from the site. So those people making predictions, disappointed or angry about a chapter is pretty normal to me. If they really dont like it anymore just stop reading OP, the fact that we are all here is because we still love the freakin' manga. (damn, i'm starting to sound like a grown-up)
About the chapter, i think this is a wake up call for all of them, they need to power up seriously (i just hope no magic potions or beans or stuff). Luffy, Zoro and Sanji needs to be stronger and faster; Ussopp needs his Pachinko upgraded (with Franky there i dont think that would be hard), Chopper might be able to improve his Rumble Ball, Franky could probably find new material stronger than steel to upgrade his entire body, Brooke doesnt need strength, he just need to be faster and faster (remember what Kizaru said: "speed is weight". Nami need her Clima Tact upgraded, and Robin….. what will Robin need???? Well, anyway Garp and Sentoumaru can hurt Luffy with a punch, so i'm guessing there is a certain technique that allows you to make impact on a DF user's body. They should really learn it, well at least the monster trio..

hmmm we havent been shown this point yet. if ace is near a fire (from another source, not from him) will he feel hot? same as aokiji, will he be cold? the same logic follows with kizary i think. he is light based, so if he is exposed to light, will he be blinded? i wonder

RE: The next new Nakama? Part 2
i've heard people talking about wanting an inventor to join the SH. seriously..if your thinking about some sort of hi-tech gadgets n stuff, isnt franky enough?? i mean. look at the sunny, look at franky!!! he definitely got the skills, as for the ideas, ussop n franky is enough (with the pachinko n clima tact). thats enough for them i think, becuse if they have someone like dr vegapunk type with his pacifista, they'll become so much more powerful that its boring

RE: Chapter 507 "Kizaru's Landing" Discussion

RE: The next new Nakama? Part 2
i got an idea about this next crew member thing. we were told that mermaids are the fastest swimmer in the ocean and the strawhats tend to get people that r the best (or at least very good) in what they do. now if i remember correctly, in real world, the fastest swimmer in the sea is a baracuda, so if oda follows this fact, then i think a baracuda type fishman is the only one that can outswim a mermaid. n he/she will make a good crewmember. so thats it folks, a baracuda type fishman (dont have any idea tho, what her position in the ship will be)

RE: Chapter 506 "Roger & Rayleigh" Discussion
though i would hate that bastard spandine to be kizaru, it would maybe explain why an idiot like spandam became the head of the CP9. and interesting that all 3 admirals r connected to the ohara incident. well, the nose is similar IMO, spandine's pic wasnt full front, while kixaru's is. speaking of facial structure, coby's face also changed if u hadnt noticed. apparently all the evidence is leading to spandine. or maybe thats what oda wants us to think????
-
RE: Chapter 505 "Kuma" Discussion
u know. i like the idea of having a kuma 'clone'. no it wont be as stupid as a bunshin, but what if vegapunk has already produced more pacifistas according to kuma's model? well, but of course only the real one has the DF the rest is only hi-tech robots (unless DF clone has already been invented, which will make it kinda uncool).
out of topic, but i wanna propose a theory on kuma's background. we heard people calling him ' violent kuma' n stuff,but he didnt seem that brutal when we saw him. maybe he was brutal in the past, but he was injured severely n vegapunk offered to "repair" him if he is willing to repent by becoming a shichibukai n working for the government. thus he is always carrying that bible n the obedient-soldier act in front of the WG. if anyone else has said sumthin like this, then nevermind me -
RE: Chapter 505 "Kuma" Discussion
hmmm. 3 rookie pirates (strawhats, kidd, n law) an admiral, vice admiral and a shichibukai.
kidd ran into kuma, i'm calling that garp will run into law's crew n luffy will meet kizaru. -

RE: Chapter 503 "Striping Up The Island" Discussion
(am not going to talk about the 10th crew members (though it could also be like "gotcha!!! the tenth crew member is the sunny itself) but no. i'm not going to talk about it)
i like the chapter, i dont think any of them r fillers tho. the shock reaction is needed i think, or else the whole incident will lack emotion n be flat. at this point i really have no idea where oda will go from here, he could make th SH's ship coated n rayleigh talks to luffy a bit then get the hell out of there, though it could be that luffy fights with the marines (which can also go 2 ways, he fights garp probably with the help of rayleigh or an admiral does come with a battleship n that would give Whitebeard an edge in saving Ace, that way in a way Luffy is partly responsible for saving Ace)
