I'm excited about learning new bounties of the ex-Shichibukai. 2 of them have had their bounties frozen for years and Teach has never had a bounty before.
Indeed, I can't wait to see Croc's bounty, as well as perhaps Ivankov's.

If I Implied that I'm sry for I've sined.Yes it could be an exception (~5% probability Imo)
To be honest this discussion is pointless I was just pointing out you don't seem to have very good logic, no disrespect.
I meant first fight (w/o serious) .Damn your annoying comments have started to affect me.
Ok these r exceptions not the rule.It's far more likely for friends to fight for fun than to fight serious.
Implying Mihawk Vs. Shanks couldn't be an exception.
Don't forget Franky's blowing up Vegapunk's old lab, pwnobi. That should raise his bounty.
Indeed, I fully expect there to be other things I didn't mention as well, just naming a few notable things. I am actually more excited about the crews next bounty up than almost anything else in the Manga right now, including Fishman Island.
If they werent friends b4 their first fight then and only then I'm wrong about saying that they never fought seriously.What I said b4 was based on the hypothesis that they were buddies b4 their first serious fight.
Implying friends can't fight seriously for some reason. reflects back on Luffy Vs. Zoro, and Luffy Vs. Usopp
Jesus Christ! I never said such a thing lol.R u drunk?:wassat: I clearly Implied from my sayings that it isnt common for 2 "buddies" (not 2 ppl in general) to have the intention to kill each other.
Implying they were friends before they fought. For all you know the fact that they had life and death battles is what made them seem like buddies, much like what is implied between Garp and Gol D. Roger.
EDIT: Just read Nanlits post, great minds think alike.
@Zach:
I just realized this (I don't know if it's been discussed):
The Strawhat bounty was 667,000,050…
Brook came and added his 33,000,000 to make it an EVEN 700,000,050
Luffy now will add 300,000,000 to make it an EVEN 1,000,000,050...
So, I'd have to predict Luffy's bounty to be 600,000,000.
Implying no one else gets a bounty up. I mean, Usopp landed on a Tenryubito(assuming they realize Usopp is Sogeking). There were the incidents of Thriller Bark, Robin escaping from the bridge, Brooke needing a new bounty for an updated pic(and possibly Sanji as well). The fact that they all escaped from Kizaru + Sentoumaru + Pascifista's might need to be calculated as well.
I don't think so. I doubt Oda will spend much time showing us Zoro fighting baboons or Nami tricking weather wizards. All the crew's struggles will certainly strengthen them, but they don't make up for a lot of interesting scenes, IMO.
I don't think Oda will spend "that much" time on it either, hence my use of the word "brief." I think each chapter will cover a few characters, and each character will be covered in a few chapters each, then things will progress towards them meeting. At most, maybe a week time-skip, which has been done before, I wouldn't even really call it a time-skip.
@S.C.:
Yes, post-Pacifista conversion. When he fought in Maineford, he just merely stood in place rather then teleport-pushing himself around or not deflecting attacks like the Hell Wink. Kind of limited his years of expereince.
Quite true, everyone was doing something while we weren't looking, but PX-0 didn't seem to nearly utilize his Nikyu powers as well as Kuma did before. Against Zoro he was zipping all over the place and had his paws at the ready. However, we haven't seen Kuma actually fight against a real enemy. He wanted to protect the Straw Hats not harm them, and PX-0 is much more ready to use lasers in rapid fashion, so I see what you mean.
Guess it's a trade off. Although PX-0 does seem to have quite the short attention span…
According to Flamingo, the process of PX-0 becoming "complete" just happened, so maybe it would take some time before it's full functioning. Or, maybe he was busy fighting New World pirates, who knows? The war had a lot of people to cover, unlike when we saw the "real" Kuma display his powers.
After the previous chapter or two, it seems like there will be more of a brief "Strawhat separation arc," rather than a time skip.
Er….not sure why my post ended up looking like that (copy/pasted it from word). Here, is what I wanted it to look like.
hmm…I don't think we have seen the true strength of any of the warlords save for Moria and possibly Crocodile. I would say
Blackbeard - Doflamingo - Hawk eyes are the elite of the group. Kuma also deserves mention right next to those three. Boa, Crock, Jinbei all probably rank right under them. I would say that Moria is the weakest of the eight (past and present) Shichi's.I only put Moria beneath the other 7 (he might possibly be tied for weakest with Hancock and maybe Crock) because he is so disinterested in combat. He is incredibly skillful and, truth be told, I think his DF is one of the most unique and intriguing DF's in the entire series. I would say BB and Doflamingo are probably the strongest of the 8 because they seem to be being built up as two main villains (many think BB will be the final villain challenging Luffy for OP) and both still have a good deal of mystique about them. What we do know about BB is incredibly impressive. He is the only man to be able to use more then on DF ability. He gave Shanks his scar (prior to BB obtaining his DF power at that.) He defeated Ace whom at the time was one of WB's top pirates. BB sets plans into action that increases not only his strength but the resolve of his growingly infamous crew. BB will be an antagonist to watch.
As for Doflamingo, like I said there is still a lot of mystery surrounding his abilities but I have a hard time imagining him not becoming one of the biggest villains in the OP-verse. Last time we saw him he was looming over a fellow Warlord like he was a child and we learned something very interesting and imposing about Doflamingo, he has ties to the men at the top of the world, the Gorousei.
Mihawk is the ultimate antagonist to one of the series most popular and ambitious characters in Zoro. He is also the most powerful swordsman on the planet, hard to discredit such a title.
Kuma has proven what a beast he is and, perhaps even more frightening, it is possibly that he is far stronger now than ever.
Under the right circumstances Jinbei could be unbeatable. I am bais towards liking Crock, plain and simple. Boa seems strong but not otherworldly so (like Kuma). I doubt we have seen her true strength but until then I reserve judgment.
Moria, even with his incredible DF, was nothing but a punching bag against Jinbei (a Jinbei who does not think highly of his hand to hand combat ability. He even lost to a group of rookie pirates on his own ship/island where he should have had quite the upper hand. This was the same group of rookie pirates that seemed like ants at the feet of Kuma, Ao Kiji and Kizaru (though I suppose by this logic Crocodile should be at the bottom of the list with him…ah...bias.)
Great post, I agree with you for the most part.
@7:
I see him defeating Smoker after beating a average new world captain. There will still a big gap between that at One Piece though. Take that as you will.
I appreciate your ideas, I look forward to seeing how it plays out. I feel Smoker is a bit more important and will resolve later, we shall see!
@S.C.:
Well, it you want to follow that notion, then I think the battle will be even more likely.
It took Smoker until Maineford to be able to change into Logia form by reflex, and is not likely a user of Hkai (Another important thing that Maineford taught us to have). Thus, if Luffy does defeat him, it may tell him that just being a Logia or some weird Paramecia won't fully protect you in the New World.
I wouldn't read that much into Smoker being hit by Ace in the restaurant, but that's just me. I think that you may be making a few too many assumptions about Smoker. Smoker obviously already knows the threat of Haki, as he seemed to understand it's importance when Boa hit him. I don't think Smoker over estimates his Logia ability.
@S.C.:
I never really thought Smoker was particularly powerful, but lucked out with a Logia power, which isn't even that great compared to others.
If Luffy needs a Haki punching bag, if it's not someone like Brownbeard invading Fishman Island, I esitmate it shall be Smoker.
I don't think a re-occuring character who has been followed since East Blue will end up being a punching bag to visualize Luffy's power-up in being able to handle Logia's. I'm not sure what makes you think he isn't powerful. The detail given to him whether it be his past seeing Roger die, or his ranking up through the Marines, I feel it's implied he will be a serious opponent later in the series.
@7:
I can see Smoker at Vice Admiral level, but being "almost final boss level"… you must be joking. How can you even consider him being that strong. "Final boss level" is like Whitebeard, Shanks, etc level. Smoker doesn't even compare to this group. Coby, Helmeppo, Jango, and Fullbody are garbage, they could maybe defeat Ussop. Hina could probably compete decently, but I still think that sanji would be able to defeat her(that is if he attacked women).
By almost final boss level, I'm saying that I think he could be one of the last opponents for Luffy and crew in the series, like before Blackbeard. I think that it's heavily implied Coby(especially since we saw soru, and what I consider to imply mantra, plus a huge ambition) as well as Helmeppo are going to receive a good amount of growth. I agree the SH's are better, but I'm sure that Smoker's resolve for chasing down Luffy isn't going to be taken lightly or resolved quickly. I'm certainly not joking when I label Smoker and crew "almost final boss level."
Nah, I mean Strong World because there are people that have wings on their arms, and can actually fly.
I would like to see Luffy Finally kicking Smokers ass! I really hate that guy, especially how smoker still was stronger than luffy in the war, and I KNOW luffys been through WAAY more sht than smoker has in that time, I was pissed when smoker owned luffy so easily. Tashigi needs to die, she is just waay too Suzaku like
Luffy is not on Smoker's level yet. Smoker is obvious way more powerful than his position leads on. It's due to his attitude that his rank is not Vice Admiral level IMO. Honestly, Smoker & crew are almost final boss level. I hope that other notable marines like Hina / Jango / Fullbody join up with Smoker. Throw in Coby and Helmeppo, and we could see a nice Marine Vs. SH crew fight.
@Zik:
Ah yes Drake probably is using a rapier but it could just be a saber since it seems curved where as rapiers are straight pointed swords. I mainly remember him for using that four bladed axe anyway so it slipped my mind.
Shanks at first just seemed to have the generic pirate cutlass. It could be a thicker rapier though but I don't think so cuz of the guard.
Yeah, I don't believe Drake nor Shanks weapon's are a rapier nor a variation of one, although I hope that is something we come across in the future.
I thought Buggy would have been powerful when we saw him again in the grand line.
Exactly. Oda's not the type of person to make an off-screen death for an character like Moria. I'm very surprised that the majority here think he's straight up dead.
I just don't think we've seen that many characters die in the series, so it's hard to say. I think it would be pretty cool if Moria were still alive, but I doubt it. Not say there won't be some twist with his death, maybe experimentation as a previous poster predicts, but I feel he's still dead all the same.
Ange-Ange Fruit.
type:ZoanGives you angel wings and the power to use moonlight as a weapon.
I'm planning on using this one in a fanfic I'm writing.
That's pretty tight, reminds me of the flying people in Strong World.
I bet he still has tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps now it will be buggy for yonkou?
Blackbeard for Yonkou, Buggy for boss level and widely feared new world captain. As for the three mentioned people joining the crew, it's been discussed to death. I don't think someone with King's Haki would serve under Luffy. Jinbei has a higher probability, but seems like without Whitebeard around, he will need to stay at Fishman island to protect it. Perona probably has the highest chance of the three, as she did lose her captain, and is pretty boss level. However, she could also team up with Mihawk, or even meet back up with Hogback / Absalom. I'm interested to see what happens with Perona.
Me and Zkaiser just watched it, and despite being no subtitles, it was easy to understand. Clearly half the dialogue can be filled with "East Blue is the land of champions."
Kaku developed an entire Giraffe based fighting style incorporating CP9 immediately after receiving a Devil's Fruit, who the fuck else could do that and show awesome results?(Yes, that means I'm excluding Kalifa…). Also, this is the character tournament for 2010, Merry is dead, at least Kaku has a feint possibility of showing up.
POKEMON WI-FI BATTLES!
Judging by some of the other threads here in the Video Game section, as well as the overall popularity of the Pokemon hand-held games, I've made this thread with the purpose of easily being able to set up matches to play against fellow AP members online!
So to keep things running smoothly, let's just follow a few steps.
1] Say your Name / Friend Code.
•Don't know how to find it?
[hide]
Go to downstairs in the pokemon center, and speak with the person on the right. If it's your first time she'll give you a Palpad. Access it in your Key Items pouch, and it will allow you to record other players Friend Codes, and see your own!
[/hide]
2] Say what kind of battle you're looking for!
•Battles are separated into tiers and types.

Luffy likes where this is going!
It makes you wonder if you're watching One Piece, or reading Nana To Kaoru.
Gin has never been caught in the hypnosis because his eyes are always closed.
It's true Gin has a case of Brock Syndrome.
Skitzo Skitso Fruit
Paramecia
This ability allows the user to go in anyones head who they've seen and convey their voice there. This allows the user to talk to people from across the world who they know without a phone. This also allows them to distract their enemies by putting their voice in there head.
Why is Skitzo spelled with a Z and then Skitso with an S?
I think Telepathy Telepathy no Mi might be better?

This is so well-done so far I think it deserves to get wrapped up. Although I'm not a coloring person so I don't know if the background is a real bitch and makes you want to move on to other things. Either way I'll be on the look-out for more of your stuff!
Haha when you see big boobs do you go "Damn I wanna get to know this girl"….no you go "Damn look at them titties".
If I see big boobs the first thing to do is look to see if they're big because the girl is overweight, or because they were handcrafted by someone who loves me.
Gin is going to kill Aizen, he's been sticking near him all this time because Aizen is the only person he could not beat, and he's been looking for an opening. You heard it here first(unless someone said it before and I didn't read it, haha).
Did he not use the electricity in the clouds as medium to move around in the air ?
Sure, Smoker can fly while everything is in his element…
Edit :
We can also use that, if there are 5 known one... one being Pell, another being Marco... 3 known left...
Ya telling me they are Smoker, Kizaru, Aokji, Ace ?
Logias we've seen so far are not counted. Especially since we haven't actually seen any of them fly… just elevate themselves. Also, Lafitte was revealed to fly, so that's already 3 known.
@AdmiralYonkouMt.Bandit:
That's obviously not the same thing and not what we're talking about.
It being too hax is opinion. Some ppl think some current DFs are too hax. It doesn't have to be too hax as long as Oda deals with it correctly.
Although I'd like to see DF user + DF weapon as well.
I realize people are talking about Vegapunk using shinanigans to break the "Two Devil's Fruit = Death" rule. I'm just not seeing that happening, unless there's a loophole. I always thought it would be interesting however if someone had a Devil's Fruit and then got like a metal arm or something, and it got a Devil's Fruit, so it's not so much a separate weapon but apart of him. It seems plausible, we don't really know what Vegapunk or Oda for that matter will throw at us.
@robbybedfart:
No proof yet, just general assumption given Oda's track record. Especially given now that his sacrifice was basically in vain. Until we see Bon again, you can assume he's dead if you want, but I have no doubt whatsoever that when this arc is well and truly over we'll get a panel of him dancing in Impel Down, or having escaped with the ruckus Blackbeard causes or something.
The camera totally cut away before Magellan actually did anything to him, and in the very next chapter Luffy gave the audience the reassurance "I'm sure that he's okay!" So for all the emotional pull the scene had, its almost certainley a fake out, again. Great scene, great Bon moment once again, but almost certainly a fake out. ANd thats unfortunatley the sense of danger Oda loses when he cheats the suspense as often as he does
Maybe Ace will herald a different tone, or put the danger back into things, its really hard to say at this point until we actually get some follow up. But Oda has proven a point and was clearly saving up for this, so he gets some leeway for a few years, maybe until the end of the series, now that he's proven he can kill if he really sees the need to. (And it wasn't just whitebeard who's been foreshadowed for months.)
However, all that said, we can now call out Kishi for not killing Karin. And Choji and Neji. And actually killing all his good villain characters. (and yet still not finishing off Orochimaru. Guy's been killed like 3 times now.)
I really hope you're right. I think the possibility of Bon-Chan not getting killed due to Blackbeard Shinanigary is quite high. I think it would be cool to see him again, even if it does make some people feel Oda is predictable. Ace's death seems secure in my mind and as you said that will probably give him leeway.
I think Urouge point is pretty solid. Next Crew Member will be MALE!
Yes, that would be the kid with the Popeye arms (or Franky arms, if you prefer). I suppose he could be female, but for a female of that level to have not developed the cleavage to prove it in Oda's manga would be a surprise in itself.
lol yes sorry I missed your bit about the "popeye arms" person. I agree with your point though, the next character being female just to keep things evened out isn't necessary. I've always thought the next character to be a Fishman.
If we ever see someone with more than one Devil's Fruit I think it would be through a loophole like, someone with a Devil's Fruit having an item that also has a Devil's Fruit. Example: Bluno wielding Frunkfreed, something like that. A person with two fruits in themself would be too hax.
I imagine you're referring to the guy who wears a kimono and shoots a flintlock. He does look like a girl. We've seen his chest, though, and he's not one.
I have no idea who the other person you think is a girl would be. The kid with the popeye arms?
I think it's possible the person with their tongue out wielding a sword from that page could be female.
Ace's death so far to me seems well done and I'm glad he's kicking the bucket! I haven't been on AP in some time and haven't read much of the thread but I hope most people feel the same way. Luffy's character development will be interesting to see in the upcoming arc.
He's too awesome to be femaleNo comment.
Agreed No harm in keeping your thoughts to yourself.
IrishLuigi, although I thought Bedfarts avatar was awesome, yours made me chuckle. The power to make others laugh should not be underestimated! Kairouseki, your new avatar looks bad ass.
Enel's last like makes me think this is going to end up like the Ultimate Showdown.
Did anyone consider that he could just be Mulatto?
@robbybedfart:
It all started when our uber geek, Naruto, woke up in a bush. It was the fourth time it had happened. Feeling exceedingly pleased, Naruto grabbed a banana, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). In a blinding moment of misguided bravado, he realized that his beloved Sasuke was missing! Immediately he called his former lay, Sakura. Naruto had known Sakura for (plus or minus) 11,000 years, the majority of which were sassy ones. Sakura was unique. She was charismatic though sometimes a little… abrasive. Naruto called her anyway, for the situation was urgent.
Sakura picked up to a very mad Naruto. Sakura calmly assured him that most disease-carrying chipmunks belch before mating, yet long-haired sea monkeys usually earnestly shudder after mating. She had no idea what that meant; she was only concerned with distracting Naruto. Why was Sakura trying to distract Naruto? Because she had snuck out from Naruto's with the Sasuke only four days prior. It was a curious little Sasuke... how could she resist?
It didn't take long before Naruto got back to the subject at hand: his Sasuke. Sakura yawned. Relunctantly, Sakura invited him over, assuring him they'd find the Sasuke. Naruto grabbed his whale and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Sakura realized that she was in trouble. She had to find a place to hide the Sasuke and she had to do it recklessly. She figured that if Naruto took the curb-jumping ghetto sled (Impala), she had take at least three minutes before Naruto would get there. But if he took the giant toad? Then Sakura would be ridiculously screwed.
Before she could come up with any reasonable ideas, Sakura was interrupted by eight funny-smelling possums that were lured by her Sasuke. Sakura turned red; 'Not again', she thought. Feeling relieved, she fearlessly reached for her ninja star and thoughtfully deflowered every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent--the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the secret vineyard, squealing with discontent. She exhaled with relief. That's when she heard the giant toad rolling up. It was Naruto.
----o0o----
As he pulled up, he felt a sense of urgency. He had had to make an unscheduled stop at Jim's House of Wings to pick up a 12-pack of bananas, so he knew he was running late. With a deft leap, Naruto was out of the giant toad and went flamboyantly jaunting toward Sakura's front door. Meanwhile inside, Sakura was panicking. Not thinking, she tossed the Sasuke into a box of live hand grenades and then slid the box behind her hippopotamus. Sakura was worried but at least the Sasuke was concealed. The doorbell rang.
'Come in,' Sakura surreptitiously purred. With a calculated push, Naruto opened the door. 'Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some pestering noble genius in a curb-jumping ghetto sled (Impala),' he lied. 'It's fine,' Sakura assured him. Naruto took a seat mysteriously distant from where Sakura had hidden the Sasuke. Sakura belched trying unsuccessfully to hide her nervousness. 'Uhh, can I get you anything?' she blurted. But Naruto was distracted. Before anyone could take off their pants, Sakura noticed a funny-smelling look on Naruto's face. Naruto slowly opened his mouth to speak.
'...What's that smell?'
Sakura felt a stabbing pain in her kidney when Naruto asked this. In a moment of disbelief, she realized that she had hidden the Sasuke right by her oscillating fan. 'Wh-what? I don't smell anything..!' A lie. A dimwitted look started to form on Naruto's face. He turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. 'Th-th-those are just my grandma's live hand grenades from when she used to have pet disease-carrying chipmunks. She, uh...dropped 'em by here earlier'. Naruto nodded with fake acknowledgement...then, before Sakura could react, Naruto thoughtfully lunged toward the box and opened it. The Sasuke was plainly in view.
Naruto stared at Sakura for what what must've been ten minutes. With fist clenched and teeth gnashed, Sakura groped explosively in Naruto's direction, clearly desperate. Naruto grabbed the Sasuke and bolted for the door. It was locked. Sakura let out a eccentric chuckle. 'If only you hadn't been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, Naruto,' she rebuked. Sakura always had been a little stupid, so Naruto knew that reconciliation was not an option; he needed to escape before Sakura did something crazy, like... start chucking potatos at her or something. A few freaknasty minutes later, he gripped his Sasuke tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels.
Sakura looked on, blankly. 'What the hell? That seemed excessive. The other door was open, you know.' Silence from Naruto. 'And to think, I varnished that window frame five days ago...it never ends!' Suddenly she felt a tinge of concern for Naruto. 'Oh. You ..okay?' Still silence. Sakura walked over to the window and looked down. Naruto was gone.
----o0o----
Just yonder, Naruto was struggling to make his way through the haunted thicket behind Sakura's place. Naruto had severely hurt his shin during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. Another pack of feral possums suddenly appeared, having caught wind of the Sasuke. One by one they latched on to Naruto. Already weakened from his injury, Naruto yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of possums running off with his Sasuke.
About eleven hours later, Naruto awoke, his armpit throbbing. It was dark and Naruto did not know where he was. Deep in the humid disease-infested jungle, Naruto was excessively lost. In a blinding moment of misguided bravado, he remembered that his Sasuke was taken by the possums. But at that point, he was just thankful for his life. That's when, to his horror, a misshapen possum emerged from the foxy forest. It was the alpha possum. Naruto opened his mouth to scream but was cut short when the possum sunk its teeth into Naruto's double chin. With a faint groan, the life escaped from Naruto's lungs, but not before he realized that he was a failure.
Less than ten miles away, Sakura was entombed by anguish over the loss of the Sasuke. 'MY PRECIOUS!!' she cried, as she reached for a sharpened banana. With a quick thrust, she buried it deeply into her taint. As the room began to fade to black, she thought about Naruto... wishing she had found the courage to tell him that she loved him. But she would die alone that day. All that remained was the Sasuke that had turned them against each other, ultimately causing their demise. And as the dew on melancholy sappling branches began to reflect the dawn's reddish glare, all that could be heard was the chilling cry of distant possums, desecrating all things sacred to virtuous men, and perpetuating an evil that would reign for centuries to come. Our heroes would've lived unhappily ever after, but they were too busy being dead. So, no one lived forever after, the end. :'(

For some reason I get the urge to uncontrollably laugh when I read this line.. "Naruto stared at Sakura for what what must've been ten minutes."
lolmon
He already had his plan set when he wanted to kill Luffy (he said this to Ace before he took him down) and he couldn't have predicted this big war and the Shanks vs Kaido thing back then, so that can't be it.
Not to mention that it is far from shocking the world to just sail across the NW.
Although I agree that's not his plan, I think Blackbeard could have easily predicted the war once he decided to bring in Ace instead of Luffy. I also agree his plan is probably unpredictable to us at this point in time.
I have no problem saying a guy is hot. I consider all the likes of Ace, Sanji, Zoro, Lucci, Law, Kidd, Marco etc are pretty boys.
But they're so mind numbingly boring brings them down. If someone like Pwngoat is more interesting than them then in my eyes that makes them more attractive.

@Tofu:
You make some good points, often times people use the transitive property too much when considering characters powers and how they would fair against one another. However, there are some little areas I may disagree, such as..
@Tofu:
I can't see how Kuma would beat him.
If Kuma was able to correctly determine where he would be sending each SH(Which I, and I assume most people think he did), then I think it's plausible he could repel Crocodile to the Ocean. That's just one of the many possible ways he could win. I'm not saying Crocodile would necessarily let this happen, but I don't see why it couldn't, if they fought.
