@Nine:

I came up with a theory about the shadow stealing.
Don't know if anyone else posted it before me so don't complain about copyright.

"I believe the shadows are used to fuel the corpses into reanimation.
Moria has the ability to steal shadows and use them to animate stuff.
Hogbak has the ability to make bodies from body parts.
Put those to together and you have undead.
And the exiting point in the arc will be when the zombies are asked to give back the shadows and thus die."

Sounds pretty logical.

too predictable.i believe some of us here have thought of this possibility before(including me).oda would have lost his touch if it turned out this way.

@psolaras:

what is the point of making your body as hard as steel when it actually is out of steel? dude you don't make sense.since luffy couldn't hurt blueno in the past he couldn't hurt daz bones either

my apologies.i thought daz bonez was the marine zorro took down using that pheonix move somewhere along the seatrain track.somehow the word bonez make me relate to him. i'd say luffy(now) > daz bonez(alabasta) > luffy(alabasta)

daz bonez mite improve now and be stronger than luffy in his current condition.the blade DF is also a big advantage against luffy,but luffy may think of some ways to defeat him

please,luffy is faster than daz bonez hands down.and daz bonez dont have tekkai,so once luffy lands a blow on him he's over

wow,i think if u really are going to colour the whole manga series,it would talk you pretty much years.
Assuming 1 page = 5hours,1 chapter = 95-100hours
436 chapters = 43600hours = 4.97years

it would be awesome though.the problem is,the file size is going to be big if its coloured right?

so going with this logic,One Piece is the best booze/partying drug out there?
and u need the best floor moves in order to open the gate to Raftel[the coolest partying place in the grand line]

geppou literally means moon step or moon walk.

@CosmicDebris
japanese is just like any other language,there are tons of ways to say 1 thing.although i'd say its the hardest among what i've tried(japanese,english,chinese) because it has a lot of "exception" cases and is rather complicated.

matte comes from the base word machi masu,which means to wait
changing the -chi to -te,it becomes matte,which means asking someone to wait.basically '-te form' means asking someone to do something(more like offering,no forceful intention)

hope i helped.if i'm wrong someone please correct me.man today's exam was tough :(

@Fire Fist:

Dare wa desu ka is "Who are you?"

i always thought "who are you?" is somewhere along the lines of kimi/anata wa dare desuka? Can someone verify if Dare wa desu ka is correct or wrong?it sounds pretty strange/wrong to me

There is also: Are - There (second place object )
…and I'll add again: Kore - This (first place object) Sore - That/Over There (third place object)

i think u got are and sore wrong.sore is there(2nd place) whereas are is over there(3rd place).

btw good luck to me.having my jap exams in 15hrs

franky probably stored the data in a cola-powered thumbdrive hidden somewhere in his body

the good:some of the drawings look much better with colour,especially the 3rd panel(the one with robin and aokiji)[and your avatar =D]

the bad:the positioning and font of the words in the speech bubbles are rather inconsistent.some of the colour choices are a little weird,like the "galley-la temporary hq" yellow-skyblue colours,and chopper's skin/face colour

just my 2cents

@NecRock:

He would sink to the bottom of the sea since he's a deadweight, still be able to breathe since he's a merman, and die of starvation, an agony that lasts several days. Unless he is unable to close his mouth, and small seastuff swims in, feeding him a little. In that case he could live for years, unable to move and always hungry because, well, he wouldn't get a lot of food. What kind of fucked up, sadistic question is this? :p

iirc luffy went underwater with some sort of gear/attire during the jaya arc.where they found the ship wreck and met the monkey face guys.so why would mermen,still be able to breathe since he's a merman,have more trouble than luffy?lol
