A.) Taco Bell's newest spokesman.
Q.) Why does Nami's breast size keep changing? They grew huge in Skypeia, but then became normal sized in Enies Lobby.

They didn't seem all that underrated to me, they were all just weak.
Buggy was weak because he got beaten with one attack. People disagree with this because of Nami stepping in, but let me tell you: Not being able to break a damn rope and WEAK GIRL stepping on you shows you're weak. If they fought again, Luffy would do the same thing (launching luffy's body instead of just attacking it).
Kuro, despite being some big bad pirate was still a weakling. Luffy beat him in a matter of minutes after he got a hold of him. Maybe he would've fought a little better if he had trained in those three years.
Krieg, the third of the East Blue weaklings only had the advantage because he broke apart the Baratie. If they had been on solid ground, Luffy would've just run up to him and broke his armor. It doesn't matter how many weapons he had, Luffy still shook them off like they were nothing (like the deadly… POISON SUCTION CUPS! He had to get 'em off, quick!) and of course, after Luffy broke his gold armor, Krieg was absolutely nothing. Another easy win for Luffy.
And now we go to Arlong, who I've always thought was the most overrated of the East Blue pirates. Big bad Arlong barely even DID anything to Luffy, he bit him an astounding two times (three if you count his Shark on in Nami's room). I've always thought of that fight as a complete joke, since it seemed more like Luffy was playing until the very end. Obviously, Oda had to stretch the fight out more, so he added Arlong's teeth (the whole taking them out and using them as weapons thing). When Luffy got serious (and majorly pissed off) Arlong died in one attack (Axe).
The East Blue pirates I feel are underrated a bit, but not much. Luffy never had much of a challenge until he met Smoker in Loguetown. It always annoys me when people say "Well Lucci was weaker than Don Kreig" because that's simply overrating otherwise weak characters.
Note, the Lucci < Don Kreig thing was an example, I don't really know if I've seen that particular one.
A.) Luffy starts wearing the latest fashions.
Zoro starts going out with Sanji.
Nami starts wearing nothing.
Usopp finally admits what else his nose is good for.
Sanji finally stops smoking.
Chopper becomes One Piece's Pikachu.
Robin starts going out with Nami.
Q.) What kind of ratings would the show get?
The way I always figured it was that Mihawk was terribly bored with all the weaklings he's beaten with ease. Seeing some pirates (Kreig's fleet), he decided to have a little fun and torture them. After he noticed the head ship was leaving, he followed it just to pass the time. When he got the challenge from Zoro, Mihawk thought he was same as all the others, so he used that tiny sword. Here's when I start to go off on a limb, Zoro put the his third sword in his mouth, something I doubt Mihawk has seen before. When they fought, he saw the uniqueness of the technique, but was put off by Zoro's lack of skill. It was then that he pierced Zoro in the chest. Seeing that he didn't back down, Mihawk took the fight slightly more seriously and took out his black sword, to end the duel. It was then Zoro used the secret technique. Again, Mihawk was suprised that Zoro actually knew an attack such as that and spared his life, to duel him another day.
If you got anything out of that (my writing can go off a bit), I mean to say that Mihawk wanted to fight someone different than all the rest, and Zoro possesses the art that he is not used to. Thus, he wanted to see Zoro at full strength and let him live another day, hoping for a real challenge.
A.) I'm afraid so. The corn speaks and tells me so.
Q.) Who's this "Luffy" character I keep hearing about?
A.) Lucci wins, but Enel stands up.
"You're a cheeta!" Says Enel.
"You're a lightnin'!" Says Lucci.
"Take them out!" Says Crocodile, jestering in people with shotguns.
Q.) What would happen if Nami's clothes blew off when Sanji was cooking her food?
A.) Of course not, that toe tapdanced into our hearts and souls, just to be ripped off…
Q.) Who would win in a fight with on the subject of women, Sanji or Paulie?
A.) Only the koala knows…
Q.) What would have happened if Kaku and Califa ate the other's devil fruit instead?
Just because you scar someone doesn't mean you beat them…
A.) Yes, ugly people should stick together.
Q.) What happened to Sanji's eye?
You are the ARLONG PIRATE GANG!! A race of fishmen, you have strong feelings toward your own kin, but noone else. You are also a heartless monster. You tend to make life difficult for everyone else. But yet you embrace this fact!"Shahahaha!! What can 4 inferior humans possibly do?!!"–Arlong'Heartless Beast Type'
Gah, I hated that terrible excuse for a strong villian, Arlong.
This happened a few weeks ago, but whatever. I was in a dark room when the CP9 surrounded me. I suddenly realized I was Luffy and went Gear Second. Then I woke up.
The end. Pretty lame…
Ah, Nami, one of my favorite One Piece characters. Not only is she hot, she's at least strong enough to not be a dansel in destress and she's got a great personality…
@ultimateclima:
1.The main thing: her fighting style. The first question i guess is
Did Oda ruin Nami as a potential fighter?
This answer is difficult to answer, as we have only seen her fight seriously twice, and even then they could both be seen as flukes. In the Doublefinger fight, she just got her new weapon and most of the time she was trying to figure out how it worked. Obviously, making flowers and birds appear isn't at all intimidating, so Doublefinger didn't take her seriously. This of course led to her defeat by the Tornado Tempo. Although this is a win for Nami, it gets canceled out by the fact that her opponent didn't go at her with her best.
Nami vs. Califa… My god, this fight was a total joke. Here we have Nami again, but this time she actually knows how to efficently use her Clima Tact to go against her opponent. The problem was the airhead known as Califa. At first, you would see her as a smart secretary for the boss of a company (and actually being smarter than the boss himself) but for some reason, she plum forgot 90% of her moves. I suppose not using Tekkai made sense, as electricity would go right through it, but what ever happened to her whip? No, instead she worked at "Molestors 'R Us" with possibly the stupidest devil fruit power ever (not counting the anime, of course). Somehow her bubbles sucked away your strength... Ok? Even if that makes absolutely no sense, it's not like she cared, as she only wanted Nami for her body. Again, this ends with Nami winning, but this fight is seen as the worst fight in all of One Piece...
Now, although Nami's fights haven't been the best in the barrel, it doesn't mean they shall always stay this way. I for one, hope Nami's next opponent will at least not toy around with Nami because she's seen as weak but instead use everything in their arsonal so Nami can finally have a decent fight.
So my answer would have to be, no. Although her fights weren't all that great, I doubt Oda would make her a complete joke of a character.
@ultimateclima:
2.Will Nami ever be taken seriously?
I must say I hope so, a great person like Nami doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Hopefully her new bounty will at least give her a little respect with other pirates. It seems everyone now has to deal with new things as they gain new bounties, Nami should be no different.
Mihawk: Well good day there my esteemed merman Shichibukai colleague. What would you happen to be doing on this wonderful day.
Jinbei: Same to you my good friend. Just merrily sinking some ships.
Mihawk: Sounds like loads of good fun. May I partake?
Jinbei: Certainly. I would be offended if you didn't.
Mihawk: Well then old chap, lets get to it then. Huzzas and so forth.
Chaos ensues.
You forgot, "Pop pop, cheerio, spoonful of sugar and all that."
As for this… I seriously doubt that, especially because of the Calm Belt. Even if all of his ships somehow passed through it, the Furoian Triangle is a long way into the Grand Line. I mean, with luck (and the plot saying so) he could have wondered into it, but it just seems to unlikely.
I think the whole "Grand Lines IZ EBIL!!!!11" thing was just to show how weak and unprepared Krieg was (although the weak part would be realized later).
Before I submit my opinion on Jimbei, I must ask: Did anyone but me find Arlong really, really weak? Let's start with his fighting style. Arlong used his teeth to bite Luffy with mostly, which showed me we was a terrible fighter. To bite someone, you have to lunge yourself at the person, leaving you completely open for attack. Even when he DID bite Luffy, it's not like it did much. Second, his nose, everyone talks about how he used his nose a lot in his fighting style so I must also ask, when did he do THIS? I remember him using his nose one time, and that was when Luffy broke it. Again, since you're leagues taller than your opponent, anything on your face is automatically useless, so why even bother using it? Next, him using his teeth on his hands, I found this to also be useless. What exactly did Arlong to with these that hurt Luffy all that much? Absolutely nothing, from what I saw. That also made Luffy using them seem all the more stupid. The only reason I see why Luffy didn't just beat him up was because he took the time to talk to Arlong about how you don't treat people like shit. Anyway, I just had to get that out into the open.
Now, onto Jimbei. Luffy KOing him on the spot is utterly ridiculous, despite them only talking about his power once (which again baffles me why people talk about how he's been "hyped up"). You must remember that he is a Shichibukai and therefor, very, very strong. This obviously won't be some kind of "Oh, hey Jimb- GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL! Yay, he's dead. Let's go get some jerkey" kind of thing, if they do indeed fight. Why would they even bring up a Shichibukai if he can't even take a single rubber punch? This isn't someone incredibly lame, like Bellamy, this is a merman WARLORD OF THE SEA.
As for his bounty, I'm guessing it froze at about 300million, just like Luffy's current one. Although, I don't have a problem if it was lower, it would just be interesting to see Luffy fight someone who was of equal interest to the World Government. This is, of course, if they even fight at all.
Closing thoughts, I hope Jimbei will be REALLY different. Like a huge, menacing merman in the shadows, just to start dancing around in a tutu and singing about sunshine and daisies.
A.) Batman!
Q.) How was Lucci able to talk through that bird for five years?
You're forgetting the first words Roger said before he was executed. "My wealth and treasures?" this means two things. One, that there would HAVE to be gold there, because something sentimental does NOT make you wealthy, so I'm guessing part of the treasure would have to be high mountains of gold and other generic things you'd find in a pirate chest.
The second part, "My wealth and treasures?" notice how he kept the two words seperate. My guess is that he also left things that were special to him there. Things like the Oro Jackson, his log book, and other things that have already been described in the One Piece world (Not the items themselves, but what they mean.
Of course, this whole theory goes out the window if it was translated a tad wrong. I'm just stating what I think is right.
As for the Rio Ponyglyph, it's already been said it's at Raftel, but NOT that it is One Piece. The Ponyglyphs were made thousands of years ago, so it would have been there long before Roger was even born. My guess? Obviously, it's still there, but because it's so important it was put at the last island in the Grand Line. Roger, thinking the same way as them, put his belongings there, also. Basically what I'm saying is both One Piece and Rio are there, but it's more of a coincidence rather than they both being connected.
Now, for Luffy's point of view. We all know he wants to become the Pirate King, and most of you seem to forget he's said before "We will find One Piece!" or something along those lines. He obviously wants the wealth, fame and power that it gives and believes it exists for the sake of finding it. You may be thinking now, "How does that make sense?". I shall explain, but you must remember, this is Luffy we're talking about. Luffy has always been the kind of person that leaps into things and doesn't think about what could happen to him, getting to One Piece seems similar to me. Luffy obviously doesn't care that it might not exist, because he simply believes it does and that is what drives him to move onward to the Grand Line. Once Luffy finds One Piece, despite of what it actually is, I believe he'll be completely satisfied because he finally achieved his life-long dream.
I apologise if some of my points didn't make sense, it's nearly 5:00 AM here and I wanted to get this down before I forgot it all. If I notice anything inconsistant later, I shall edit it.
Where was it EVER said Zoro could navigate? The reason he didn't go back to his villiage is because he got lost.
As for the topic, no, I don't. The only reason it seems that way is because the opportunity comes up for him to not know where to go. Meaning, the only parts Zoro's really alone starts about the time he got lost in the snow after diving in the freezing water. It just seems that way because it was later in the story.
Marine #1: "Look, it's the pirate Hunter, Zoro!"
Marine #2: "He's cleaning our floors, that fiend!"
Gin was easy, you just wait for him to jump at you and attack once he stops.
I've been trying to get all the items in the game. It might be mediocre, but at least it has SOME goal.
I played the game yesterday and beat it in about two hours, it's just that short. I probably would've beaten it even faster if I didn't play around with the bosses (Like I tried to beat Kuro using bell, Arlong with Axe, etc.).
Overal, it's… alright. It's not the worst game out there, that's for damn sure. But because the game's plot is almost non-existant it's borderlining crappy.
Oh yeah, Buggy's the toughest sonuvabich in the game, it took me an astounding one minute to beat him.
The way I see it, there are many kinds of DF:
- Basic element DF: extremely and most powerful DF, including fire (ACE), ice (Aokiji), thunder (God Eneru)…
- Secondary element DF: not as powerful as Basic Element, including: sand (crocodile), buble (kalifa), candle (is it? - Mr.3), rubber (Luffy)…
- Animal Transform DF: bird, animal, human, fish, you name it. I.E: human (Chopper), horse (God's ride, the horse-bird), elephant (CP9 elephant sword - frunkfried), bull, giraff, hawk, wolf, dog, ...
- Transform DF: DF user who is able to manipulate the form of their body , including: copycat (Mr.2), flower (Robin), Seperate (Buggy), Jaw (Wapol in Rum Country)...
- Object Transformation DF: transform into object: steel, spike, spring ...
- Psychic DF: can manipulate other's thought/behavior, including: Painting (MissGoldenWeek), Mind Control(Donflamengo), Spirit (Shanks - I'm just assuming)
The two bolded at the top aren't logia, they're paramecia, as Oda has said before. The bottom two aren't devil fruit powers (Oda said himself Miss Goldenweek was more of a "hypnotist" and Shanks couldn't have a power. If he did, he couldn't have saved Luffy).
As for the topic at hand, yes, I do think the Rumble Ball could work with other DF users, but only Zoan type ones. Due to the nature of it (giving forms) I doubt a rumble ball would do anything to a logia or paramecia type because their devil fruit power gives them only one form. However, even if they eat one, they might not know how to use it, similar to Kaku fighting Zoro (Him accidentally going into his Giraffe/Human form) and Chopper using two rumble balls (the random thing).
@All:
Wow…no love for Bon Voyage? Opening fit so well with the music, I liked it a lot.
It was an alright op, but after the total awesomeness of Hikari E, I'm guessing most people were dissapointed by it. You know, like the total opposite of right now.
I still think this new opening would fit more as an ending. Yes, I know the show doesn't have endings anymore, but if it did I would prefer it there.
@Mirror:
Why am I reminded of 'Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star' whenever I hear that?
Well, it IS only a word off.
Not sure if this would go here, exactly, but it's something I noticed while watching Brand New World:
!
! Kaku, why are you holding bats?
I looked through the thread and didn't see it, but I apologise if it's a repeat.
Narcolepsy is when you fall asleep without warning. Every time Luffy fell asleep was when he chose to. Meaning, he sat down and closed his eyes and feel asleep. The only time he just fell asleep randomly was just recently.
However, Ace and Garp seem to do this without warning. Maybe they have it?
Actually, in a situation like that a normal human is in such a state of alert that is not possible to get asleep. A proof? Try to sleep while having a headache.
Try surviving after getting impaled in the stomach. Try becoming a mummy and being able to get up and run some more. Obviously Luffy's different than most people, he's mostly carefree, so I doubt normal human psyche would effect him the same.
I'm sick of people saying this dumbass shit. One Piece is aimed at children in Japan, not this emo teenage/adult fucktard stuff you think it is. The difference is, in other counties, the censorship laws have influenced the people there to think the content of shows should be sanitized to the point of terribleness (is that a word?). Japanese laws are a lot less lenient and allow these kinds of things to be shown on television no problem.
However, just because it's aimed at kids, it doesn't mean it's not a show that older people can like, it's just the best marketing area for the show. Remember that and you'll go far.
Given the evidence about that old king, and the fact that Oda loves to get ideas from history, I count myself as one who thinks he used a spear.
Does anyone find it ironic he was KILLED with two spears? Maybe they were his weapons?
@Rob:
ok, since all of you guys got off subject, i'll tell you the answer. robin didn't really blow up all those ships. the marines made that up because they didn't want anybody to know the truth of Ohara(robin's hometown). if fact, it was jaguar d. saulo who destroyed the marine ships.
…Did you even READ the opening post?
I always thought Robin put explosives inside the ship and lit them with her many hands. It's just something you don't think about much, as you know it's mostly over with.
People, you underestimate 4Kids, Omio and Kaashi will just be changed. Something like Usopp giving them confidence (and of course, all the flashbacks taken out) and for some reason they both decide to destroy Enies Lobby.
Hell, they might just cut them out all together.
@--MRED--:
TAKE THAT BACK
KOKORO NO CHIZU WENT FLAWLESSLY WITH THE SCENES
SERIOUSLY
:shocked::cwy::sad:
Yeah, because talking about how it's alright mixed with fight scenes flows perfectly. I've never understood what people see in that opening…
I already answered this, cause all the bitching at how good it was and all the complaining how Crazy Rainbow is shit just cause people liked BNW caused me to quickly develop a hatred for it.
Blame your own damn selfs.
Science forbid people actually have opinions on the matter. How dare they disagree with you?!
As for the song… I didn't like it all that much, because it had the same problem Kokoro no Chizu had: The scenes didn't go at all with the music. There was also the fact that it was too long, I would've been satisfied with half of that. Sorry to say, but this goes down as my least favorite opening, even below Bon Voyage.
One Piece is the ultimate prize: A brand new car!
I joined a few hours ago, I just decided to post to make myself conspicuous.
I'm experienced with forums, so I've already read the rules and cruised around the forums a bit.
