Well, to hypothesize the plan Law wants to do, it may have to deal with the addictive candy C.C. made and Big Mom's love for candy. We already know that she and Luffy are not on good terms since Fishman Island, so we have a ways to go to see the plot…and I am sure people already thought this up, if so, I will agree with them.

RE: Chapter 664: Master Caesar Clown
It seems Monet is very farsighted: she can see fine at large distances but needs coke-bottle glasses to do things close to her face. That's a very interesting quirk…and she seems to be some sort of secretary of sorts? I wonder what she is writing up...?
Also, is it Caesar CLOWN or CROWN? I mean, we already have a Buggy the Clown, do we need another "Clown"? -

RE: 418: ''The Crew's Whereabouts - Weather Science and Karakuri Island''
I kinda enjoyed this episode for the most part, both Nami and Franky's stories were hysterical. It was just REALLY creepy seeing Luffy all lovey dovey (even though it was just a fantasy)/quote]
That was the point! Luffy's behavior was SUPPOSED to be creepy for the viewers, because it is funny how the usually stern Hancock is thinking like a high school girl with a one-sided love. Just be GLAD that Bisho-Luffy wasn't a reality because then the crap will hit the fan. -
RE: 418: ''The Crew's Whereabouts - Weather Science and Karakuri Island''

They have to be cooperating with Toei real close to get a hand on the script like this.

RE: Chapter 555 "Oars and kasa" Discussion
Yep. 2nd Ship from the left.
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/551/12-13/And in オーズ , the "o" is not silent, "ー" stretches it out.
Hm, I believe I can accept that, but I also I am still a little skeptical because there have been other spelling errors regarding names…I can't remember where, but I know I have seen them. And I never said the O was silent, it was the "U" in "Zu" (ズ).
you need to change your name
That was uncalled for. Please, I am trying to have a civilized discussion here about my concern of the name of a major character. Go play somewhere else.

RE: Chapter 555 "Oars and kasa" Discussion
Okay, I know it has probably been asked in previous posts, but I am not going to scrounge through 42 pages to look for it. My question is "Why are we calling him Oars instead of Oz?" I mean, when people called him "Odz" (which I believe was used to refer to some god like Odin, but seriously, I think "Odds" when I see it) was just weird enough, but his name is "オーズ", am I right? This would translate into "Oh-zu" and since the "u" is silent in this case, it would be "Oz", would it not? I know, there are people out there that are going to say "you are wrong! You don't know anything about Japanese" and such, but the thing is "Oz" is a name that people recognize from fiction literature, and Oda is known for using famous names. Plus, we heard it a billion times during the Thriller Bark arc in the anime. It sounds like "Oz" to me. So please, can we just go back to referring to "Oz" in any context of names, including Oz Jr.?

RE: Chapter 550 "Marine Headquarters" Discussion
Pretty creepy with the whole 20 month pregnancy thing, does finding One Piece give a guy super sperm, or is just just a natural Gol D. family trait? Will we learn later Luffy was cooking in the womb for like 50 months?
Sengoku explained it: Rouge was so stubborn to prevent the discovery of Ace's birth that she held him in her womb for 20 months, out of sheer willpower. It's probably a characteristic trait with those of the "Will of D.", to have the innate ability to be so focused on a task to the point of absurdity. Unfortunately for Rouge, it cost her her life, as she did something ridiculously impossible.
As for Luffy, seeing as he was most likely born from a normal woman (which I still wonder, because she must be a saint to put up with him for 17 years of his life), he probably went to 9 months like everyone else.

RE: 408: "Landing! No-Boys-Allowed Island Amazon Lily"
I wonder if casting Akemi Okamura as Aphelandra is an in-joke on her playing Rise Koizumi in Lovely Complex?
Actually, I was thinking the same thing…she just seems to have a penchant for playing tall girls (compared to the rest of the population).
-
RE: 408: "Landing! No-Boys-Allowed Island Amazon Lily"
Sweetpea really tried to pull off that "mushroom"…and they were about to burn it off, too! winces at the thought Also, LOL at Luffy getting burnt to a crisp earlier.
Margaret (Masumi Asano, most notable character is possibly Hakufu Sonsaku of Ikki Tousen and Risa Harada of D.N.Angel)sounds cute, and Sweetpea (played by Kujira of Orochimaru fame, lol) sounds pretty like I imagined her to be, and I was surprised to hear Nami's VA (Akemi Okamura) play Alephandra. However, I didn't recognize Kikyou's voice, so when I looked it up it was Robin's VA (Yuriko Yamaguchi)! She really deepened and roughened up her voice just to sound different, so I was surprised.
Seriously, they really emphasized that "pulling" scene, they even extended it as to the point where EVERYONE was going to try. They changed the bathing scene so Margaret wasn't topless, though...which is understandable, but a small let down...sigh.
Also, didn't really expect a preview of the next episode to end with a view of Luffy's butt-cheek.

RE: Chapter 545: "To The Outside World Where The Sun Shines"
5.
Then ocourse level one final wall of defence…Magellan comes throws hydras at them and the storm of shit that was about to come down is prevented from the man you would find almost the last one to help comes in. (last one being Buggy)Sorry for picking on you, but don't you mean Mr. 3 being the surprising one to be helping out?
Anyways, as I was talking about in the spoiler topic of this chapter, I was thinking how Mr. 3's wax would be a good counter against Magellan's poison ability. If you remember, Mr.3 can create extremely thick walls of wax, and Magellan's poisons can penetrate it as you all saw (at least, not that easily). If Magellan's poison was truly corrosive, why aren't all the people he has poisoned melted into goo, or have any burns of any sort? His poison only works inside the body, so if wax acts like a water-proof barrier, it will prevent poison from getting in. Recall the Mr. 3 survived in a Bananawani's stomach acid by encasing himself in a ball of wax. The only way that he could probably get through that wall is if his men bring out flamethrowers or something…
Also, I wouldn't worry about Ivankov and Inazuma too much. Ivankov, in all his years of being in Impel Down, must have gotten a sample of Magellan's poison and developed a natural antidote to resist it, and give it to the rest of the inmates who lived with him. How else would he know how to cure Luffy? Luffy was poisoned for a considerable amount of time, while Iva was just poisoned mere moments ago. He could be just feigning defeat until he can get Magellan off-guard and beat his ass.

RE: [ACSF] One Piece 395
Into discussion of the actual episode…anyone else besides me think Byron (the first slave being sold) is a relative of Brook's? He's from West Blue, can play any instrument, wears similar clothing, his shares his facial features (when Brook had a face),his hair is semi-curly (as a result of reducing each generation) and even has a scar above his right eye! Plus he is mentioned to be from "a long line of musicians". You can't tell me that is not a coincidence...
-
RE: 395: Time Limit - The Human Auction Begins
I must say again, I'm impressed with the detail that went into this, such as animating stray strands of Hancock's hair, the Vivrecard buring, and the little details like Sanji and Zoro fighting over a surfboard in the background and Nami, for some reason, putting one of those fake glasses/mustache things on a sleeping Luffy's face.
That fake nose/glasses thing is from one of the early colorspreads. They tend to add those scenes in the openings.
This picture is what that one scene in the opening is based on, but they added Franky and Brook in it because this colorspread was made in "Volume 30 - Chapter 284: Bad Boys" -

RE: 395: Time Limit - The Human Auction Begins
@-Luffy-:
I'm still in shock here. It's like forwarding the whole story. From the point in the anime -> current manga point. In 2:50.
Damn Spoiler-Toei.Most people read the manga before watching the anime, so for the most part, it really should not be considered spoiling at all. The first One Piece opening had all the arcs up just before Loguetown, the 2nd had up to Little Garden…you should see the pattern here. The only spoiling it will do will be to the non-manga reasers...which will be probably limited.

RE: 395: Time Limit - The Human Auction Begins
Oda's standards, so probably Japan's, although it might have been translated as I Cup cus that's the equivalent to what Oda actually said in the Japanese … But I think it's just I Cup either way ...
If that's the case, a Japanese "I-cup" is definitely not the same as an American "I-cup". According to http://www.85b.org/bra_conv.php (don't ask me how I got this link), a Japanese I-cup is equivalent to an American G-cup. Yes, G-cup is still large, but an I-cup is enormous if you put it to American standards.
Oh, and I like the new One Piece opening. It was cool beans.
-
RE: 395: Time Limit - The Human Auction Begins
Got That right - Nami's an I Cup, Robin slightly bigger, she's probably an I Cup too, but let's put her down as a J Cup, which makes Boa what ?
A K Cup ? - Awesome, Man, AwesomeAn I Cup by whose standards? America's or Japan's? They each have their own letter system.

RE: Chapter 537 "Okama in Hell" Discussion
I respect everyone's personal opinion on the chapter, but I don't understand how anyone can not like it. We got a whole new character who looks like Dr. Frank N. Furter (sp?) from Rocky Horror Picture Show who can repel cannonballs with the wind from the wink of his eye and change the sex of a person by "injecting" his finger into them. Not to mention he is a freaking huge guy…and his mark on his chest is like the 2 of the symbols for male and female overlapping.
Also, before anyone mentions it, Emporio is not going to make Luffy into a woman, if so, he would have done it 10 hours ago.

RE: Where's the rest of the strawhats?
Okay, after reading this thread so far, I must say the ideas are…creative, but some of these are a bit far-fetched. First, Kuma, being a highly intelligent cyborg, he is definately able to use his Paw-paw abilities to "push" people with accuracy and precision to a specific island, the locations which maybe listed in his "Bible".
Anyways, here is my take on crew's situations.
Zoro: With the aid of Perona's Hollow-Hollow powers and its abilities to "hollow" out a person's will to live and "hollow" out things with explosions (Ghost Rap), she can strengthen Zoro's resolve and stamina, as well as his temper with her annoying him.
Nami: Pretty self explanatory. She is on an island where people specialize in the study of weather, which she has innate ability to detect. With the studies of the scientists there as well as their strange devices, she will be able to use the climatact to the best of it's ability.
Usopp: When we last left him, he meets a hero-like person, Heracles, on an island where everything is kinda deadly (man-eating plants, giant rhinocerous beetles). Heracles is possibly going to show him how to be more couragous and heroic, whether or not he is under the disguise of Sogeking, and the forest will help his survival skills.
Sanji: Being on an island where okamas live, and okamas are the one thing Sanji probably dislikes the most in the entire world, he will run as long as he can just to evade them. And since running strengthens the leg muscles, it will improve his kicking power exponentially.
Chopper: Landing on an island where extremely large birds dominate the human inhabitants will prove a challenge...he may act as a diplomat between the two species, but his doctoring skills will possibly come handy for some unknown reason at this time.
Robin: Currently she is in the East Blue where a bridge is being built to connect the islands, and its construction started 700 years ago. If she were to go to the beginning of the bridge, which should have been the same from 700 years in the past, she may get some clues regarding the void century.
Franky: Being a cyborg landing in a country famed for its futuristic technology, he is surely able to gain knowledge on how to improve himself, his weaponry, and the Thousand Sunny. Maybe even get some knowledge on Dr. Vegapunk and the Pacifistas (like Kuma).
Brook: This one is extremely mysterious, as he is put into a situation where he is basically in control of a large cult who believe he is the Devil. However, it seems they are in dire need of assistance because they are under the threat of the Tenaga Tribe. Since Brook used to be the captain of the Rum-bar pirate crew after Yorki left, he can use his leadership abilities to teach them how to defend themselves, and in turn assist him with anything he needs, like a boat.
That is all I got for now...

RE: Ch 534: "Chief Warden Magellan Vs Pirate Luffy" Discussion
@123:
Nice chapter.Doku doku no mi's ability are just so cool, hopefully we'll get to see more. How did Magellan change's his hands into those stingers?
I kinda said it my earlier post, but I will say it again: the horns on his head are his weapons, he takes them off and puts them on his hand.
-
RE: Ch 534: "Chief Warden Magellan Vs Pirate Luffy" Discussion
How innovative! Those things on Magellan's head aren't horns, per say, but his weapons, which are more like scorpion stingers that he puts on his hand! I would have never guessed that.
Anyways, to put my two cents in, Magellan is a Paramecia-type. His body exudes poison, like Mr. 3's body exudes wax. Neither poison nor wax is an element and therefore not considered a Logia-type.
In the case of Blackbeard, Darkness IS a Logia-type, except unlike the other Logia he cannot disperse, but like darkness, it absorbs all light and anything else (i.e. When Blackbeard nullified Ace's ability by touching him, the darkness absorbed it, temporarily rendering it useless). -

RE: January 18: 385\. Arriving at Halfway Through the Grand Line! The Red Line
The episode is looking great, although I didn't see Green coming. Blond would have been perfect, but we have many Blonds already. So now officially she won't be a nakama. lol
I'm just sad about removing Kuma's line.
First of all, just because her hair color is similar to Zoro's does not mean she will be excluded from being a nakama. Luffy, Ussop, Robin and Brooke have black hair, so your point is moot. Secondly, her hair color is actually darker than Zoro's if you are going to use it as a qualifier. Zoro has a light-green hair akin to the marimo nickname, whereas Keimie's hair is more of a forest green, or as I called it earlier, seaweed green.
As for Kuma's line, it wasn't very important to the scene…in fact, his abscence of speaking may even be more dramatic and mysterious and therefore helpful.

RE: January 18: 385\. Arriving at Halfway Through the Grand Line! The Red Line

Its a seaweed green! To help with camouflage! ….Although, it doesn't seem to help Keimie much as she is often eaten by things...ANYWAYS! Be happy! I am sure the coloring is Oda's decision, as with all the other characters, so suck it up! I like it very much...I sorta actually predicted it.

RE: Chapter 527 "Crimson Hell" Discussion
Okay, I know it has been a week or so since the chapter's release, but I have really wanted to put some input now that I realized some things.
First thing's first, there is some confusion on how Buggy's power works. In order for Buggy to separate his parts, his feet, acting as an anchor has to be below his body at any given time, as in any natural setting. For instance, Luffy was earlier holding his feet while he flew about above him, but when they came to the Crimson Hell, Luffy had to throw his feet onto the ground for him to continue to fly. If he did not need that lower foothold as a requirement, he could always have placed his own feet on one of his floating body parts and fly anywhere. In conclusion, his feet must ALWAYS be lower than his body on a solid foothold.
Secondly, Buggy mentioned that Level 5 contains criminals with bounties over 100 million berries. If this is true, and considering what happened in the Shabondy Archipelago, would the captured "Supernovas" be held there too? And as Luffy advances further down, do you think he will get aid from former archenemies like Buggy, such as Mr. 3 seen recently in Level 2? These questions I pose to you, my fellow fans.

RE: One Piece c526 by Franky-House

- I thought the warden's name is Magellan, named after the explorer Ferdinand Magellan who navigated around the Earth, where as you named him "Mazellan".
- So far everyone has been naming the big guys "Bullgory" or "Bullgori". Where did ''Blue Glory" come from?
I hope someone from the Franky House Staff could explain these inconsistencies.

liesdecision in regard to Ace's situation, and then eases into the filler.Lies? What in the world are you talking about? If it is about not helping Ace earlier when they learned about his Vivrecard burning up, he was justified.
There was no way he knew Ace was in THAT much trouble and only assumed he will get out of it his own.

RE: Chapter 525 "Underwater Prison Impel Down" Discussion
Unlike most One Piece fans, Luffy's mom has never been a concern for me. But I too am assuming that Portgas is Luffy's mom too.
! It just always drove me crazy…
! Monkey D. Luffy + Portgas D. Ace = Brothers
! Me: Well, D. has to be their last name
! Will of D is explained
! Me: Ok... then they're half brothers? Different fathers perhaps?
! Garp and Dragon reveal connection to Luffy
! Me: Ok, then Ace is probably not related to those two, since he's the only one lacking 'Monkey' in his name.
! Garp reveals connection to Ace
! -_-... WTH?!Yeah… glad that's cleared up
No, no, you all got it wrong…instead of having the last name "Monkey" Ace took the maiden name of his mother "Portgas". Ace and Luffy have the same mother, only we now know that her last name was Portgas before she married Dragon.

RE: Chapter 518 "Battle Arena" Discussion
@Pirate_King_Sage:
I don't know which Hueco Mundo scan YOU looked at but FH and the HM one I have are almost the same, except FH has some of the dialog more bolder to add emotion, but honestly they translate almost exactly the same, both completely readable (except for that one page in the FH scan) which, to ME, makes the HM one more better.
The top picture is the raw, while the bottom picture is the Hueco Mundo scanlation.Look at the panel in the raw where Luffy is falling out of the window after being shot. The big bubble is where Hancock says "Pistol Kiss!" and the next bubble is Luffy saying "Aah!" In the scanlation, the sound effect in the panel before that one is written as "Pistol Kiss" and the next 3 lines are misplaced as well.
This is why scanlation teams should have proper editors to make sure the script and manga actually match.

@Pirate_King_Sage:
Heuco Mundos is the best out right now, FH has a whole paged f'ed up, stop complaining.
I have yet to see FH yet, and if it is only a single page, it should be easily redone. Hueco Mundo just took the Translation that was out and copy-pasted the script to whatever text balloon they thought it belonged to. They could at least put some effort into knowing which text goes where…

RE: Chapter 518 "Battle Arena" Discussion
Well, we knew that the stone beam wasn't going to work. Great chapter. Now Luffy will show them what he's made of and, as said earlier, it looks like Margaret's joining is solidified. Now we have to wait again, but it was a great chapter. Seems like Hancock doesn't take rejection very well.
There is one problem with this: unless Margaret has some traumatizing background story like the rest of the crew, it is very unlikely she will join. I am sorry, but this is a fundamental rule for Strawhat membership. Otherwise, the other 2 petrified girls would have to join too seeing as they saved him as well and was betrayed by their country…which is also highly unlikely.

I believe you misunderstand what I meant. I don't expect One Piece to be realistic at all. But the powers THEMSELVES are drawn from real life examples, which is why anything made up on the spot would not make any sense.

Kikyou: Sweetpea!! Ariadne!!Why is Kikyou referring to Aphelandra as "Ariadne"? This is a mystery to me.
Also, whoever put up the Hueco Mundo scanlation up on OneManga is pissing me off. The text bubble for "Pistol Kiss" on page 6 is in the wrong place and should be replaced with a better scanlation.

RE: Chapter 518 "Battle Arena" Discussion
I had not read the chapter when I made my post, that being said - I didn't know about the heart-shaped beam.. I was just suggesting, perhaps someone with a Zoan-Type fruit 'Snake' could use some sort of 'venom' to induce a paramecia like effect (Petrification) - In other words, Alter the original venom into something more.
Moria's stolen shadows transforming himself into a beast that can break islands in two was pretty much a 'Strength' increasing trait. Which as you said could be defined by the 'Magical' thing that Paramecia's have, however, I believe it would be dull if Paramecia's (Select Paramecia's I might add) are the only ones subject to changes such as this JUST because it hasn't been shown the other way around.
I think If Paramecia's could get strength/speed/etc. given powers, where those are Zoan-Fruit traits, why shouldn't a Zoan-user be able to have certain alterations, which could possibly be classified as paramecia? (The venom example).
Venom is an animal trait, but there is no such venom that literally turns people to stone. Paralyze, yes, but their physical structure is never altered. The thing about paramecia types is that they can alter people in bizarre ways that nothing natural can do, like Kalifa's Golden Awa turning people into near-frictionless bodies, Foxy's Noro Noro Beam slowing people down, Bleuno's Revolving Door techinique he used on Luffy (making his face spin around), and of course the abilities affecting the eater themselves. Basically, Paramecia fruit is more "SUPERnatural" in abilities, as opposed to "natural" like animals and elements.
One Piece is filled with non-sensical creatures, people and places, but there is a limit of what can be reasonable to the average reader. If I told a person "Luffy can stretch because he ate a fruit that gives him the power to become like rubber", then that is self-explanitory. If someone had a power that gave them the ability to turn into a made up creature that spits venom that can turn into stone, then it is pushing it a little far. Oda uses fruit powers that are related to things in the real world…otherwise, it would just be TOO outlandish, even for One Piece, I believe.

Scanlation by Hueco Mundo
I just read it…they did sorta ok, but they put some unnecessary special effects, and some of the text is all messed up...I would suggest to wait for a more reliable scan.
-
RE: Chapter 518 "Battle Arena" Discussion
I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree. Listen to where I'm coming from.
Okay:
Paramecia = Learn one ability, and that's what you get.
Zoan = Transform into animal/reptile (Dinosaur, perhaps snake) gain speed, strength, vision, etc. etc. Depending on animal traits.
Logia = They can manipulate, control, and produce what their element entails - They also gain any special bonus that the element can have.Now, from what I remember… Both Luffy and Moria have proven to gain a "Upgrade" i terms of strength, speed, etc. WHICH in fact is a Zoan trait - Transformation.
Moria's shadow absorbing move, which himself and Luffy both did gave him a "Transformation" - Nightmare Luffy and Nightmare Moria respectively.
So what is to say that a Zoan could not produce a Paramecia-Type effect with a Zoan if it were appropriate? I think its a plausible theory. Thoughts?
I must disagree. Zoan-fruits only improve the user depending on the traits they are given, like camouflage, flight, improved speed, toughness, etc., as you understand. Logia users are limited to their element; they can change the form they make their attacks with, but fire is fire, smoke is smoke, and so on. But Paramecia Fruit Users are available to use their powers as much as their imagination, as they are more "magical" in nature than Zoan or Logia users. Luffy's power of elasticity allows him to basically alter his body any way he wants as long as it is not torn to shreds, i.e. inflate himself, stretch himself, pump blood at ridiculous speeds, etc. Hancock has shown that not only she can petrify others that has ANY admiration for her, but she can focus it to her finger and use it as a projectile as seen is "Pistol Kiss". She can probably do many other attacks, like using all her fingers to shoot with.
If you (or others) are suggesting that Hancock could have a "paramecia" like power with a "zoan" power, it is highly unlikely. There is no animal that can turn living things to stone, and use heart shaped beams to do it. Her power is simply to incapacitate the ones who admire her and other similar "love" related attacks.

RE: Chapter 518 "Battle Arena" Discussion
They could simply be different reptiles. I mean snake, frog (amphibian), lizard, komodo dragon, etc. all have the same features. I know that one of them (Sandersonia??) is shown with arms and the looks of a reptile, which could mean either hybrid-form snake model or some lizard form. Maybe the other one (Marigold??) is a bearded dragon? What with the whole puffed up face and all.
Its a bit premature to assume what Zoan fruits the other 2 Boa sisters have based on the angle of the picture we saw. In my opinion, Sandersonia (the one with the arms) is probably in beast-man form, meaning half-woman half-snake, and Marigold may be the same as well.
Secondly, I am sure there are various types of Snake-model zoan fruits because we all know there are many types of snakes: boas, pythons, cobras, rattlesnakes, sea snakes (although not likeley for a devil fruit) and many more.
People say that the Boa sisters are under the effect of the "Gorgon curse" but seeing how isolated the island is and never met a man until Luffy (and they think all men stretch, can't swim, are dumb, etc.) it was obviously a lie and they have the powers of Devil Fruits. Hancock has the Mero Mero fruit (the power to "swoon"…to make people unconscious [by turning them into stone], but only if they themselves are swooning [madly in love] over her) and Sandersonia and Marigold have Hebi Hebi fruits of different models.
I know I am assuming these myself, but based on the evidence we have seen, this is what I have deduced.
