I love it and am certain it was planned from the start of the series.

Glad it's back and alive. Still really slow. But would be horrible to lose the OG One Piece forum.

I'm 27. Started reading One Piece around 04 after watching some of the 4kids dub. Luckily I was on other anime/manga forums at the time so knew that One Piece was much better than what was portrayed there. I started reading the manga and caught up around the Enies Lobby arc.

Hi, here for the spoilers only.

Man I used to read the spoilers here weekly. But I guess at some point they made the spoilers hidden from people who weren't logged in. I just assumed they quit discussing spoilers and chapters here until the official release….now that I know better I'll be sticking with Arlong Park spoiler section for sure.

How's it going guys? I just discovered I actually have an account on these boards! Believe it or not I've been visiting this website almost weekly since I'm sure before this account was created. I've always liked to read the chapter discussions each week.

How many old timers are still around these parts?

I dont think the fact that Ace gave him trouble is a very fair arguement. Ace is one of the strongest in the world. I think the only people BB could lose to our the emperors and Mihawk or Sengoku if he is as strong as I imagine. BB isnt that much lower than whitebeard, after he develops his powers full potential he will be though imo. Unless yall think he has already mastered it.

I have a question about Blackbeards powers. Lets say he stills Luffys powers in the first fight and he ends up letting Luffy go. Would Luffy lose his powers for good?

It shows to me how he is completely serious. So yeah he will fight better.

@gaara:

Well, then Raigou pretty much owns all at this moment.

Im not really sure though, like if you jumped when Aokiji did his move would you still get frozen? Or could you like break the ground and stop it? If not its pretty broken also. So im not really sure which is more powerful, but probably takes more energy for Enel to use RAIGOU.

@gaara:

Would AOkiji freezing the ocean for 2 (or was it 3) weeks count?

That doesnt have as much destructive damage imo. You could probably avoid the freezing someway but it would be about imposible to dodge RAIGOU.
