Urouge because he is from Skypiea. =3

Well, Luffy should be able to go save him now that he knows that the paper given to him by Ace is a "Biblicard," and that it is always pointing towards Ace, and when it burns out, he is dead…

Woa… I can't believe that Kuma is a cyborg!!!

K, first off I know this goes in the discussion thread, but I feel that the chapter that I am sharing my opinion on is so epic, that I have permission from Oda to write a thread.

Anyway, 485 is out on OneManga.Com out of the blue (still no Claymore :sad:) Oh my god… Zoro is amazing... he actually took in all Luffy's pain to save his crew and make sure Luffy becomes pirate king, and Kuma actually teleported away, believing he was dead! Wow, Zoro is waaaay loyal. Probably one of the most loyal of all the Strawhats...

@WestPirate:

Yah, so I just finished this series, and I loved it! There is no Manga for it, it's 13 episodes long. They showed it on [adult swim] a while back. You have to watch it from episode one onward to truly understand it though. I didn't understand a lot of it until the last episode, then everything made sense.

Basically the series is about a seemingly elementary school kid who goes around on golden roller blades assaulting people with a golden bat. The residents of Tokyo quickly dub him "Shonen Bat" (lit. BAT BOY) Nearly every episode has its own cast of characters and a brand new story about how these characters lives are affected by Shonen Bat, however there are literally HUNDREDS of small and large hints and even direct references as to how some things are related, and then we learn that all the characters are really connected, and that these string of assaults by "Shonen Bat" are really not random. It is a great mystery/supernatural series that is definitely worth a look.

BE WARNED: Please don't take offense to this people, but this show REALLY isn't for those who cant grasp there mind around more complicated concepts such as symbolism. This series really fucks with your mind. This series is a psychological thriller, and is aimed towards an adult audience, or at least an audience that can understand it. (I'm only 13 xD) There are also a lot of unsuspected endings in the middle of a situation or predicament that doesn't seem to be solved, so don't watch this if you're not into opening Wikipedia at the end of every episode to find out WTF just happened.

Why do people keep moving my threads into other threads? On all the forums I've been on before Arlong Park, there has been no rule about posting two threads with the same topic as long as the first thread wasn't official or floated, but here… everyone is so serious...

@HEATXZ:

And i get second this year to post
I hope we get a character update on monday

Doubtful. We didn't get a character update on Christmas or even on the day it was supposed to come out: December 3rd. Do you know what December 3rds update was? Friends List. FREINDS LIST!!!11

I love ALL the strawhats, but mai fav characters aar:

Luffy
Devilishly funny, remarkably powerful(with an original ability), and a generally astounding character, I hate it when people say he's stupid though. He's really just slow at first, but he has made some absolutely GENIUS battle plans, mainly when finding the enemy's weakness, and then finding a way to get past it.

Chopper
HES SO CUTE! I also like how he looks up to Ussop, and how he can be so modest at times, yet he still shows everyone up with his super-brain. Plus he has awesome fights. My favorites were his fights with Gedatsu, and Kumadori.

Sanji
Definitely the "Coolest" Strawhat. "God makes the food. the devil makes the spices. Guess it was to hot for you?" ~Sanji ;D Also, I love his rivalry with Zoro.

Franky
Probably because he's new, but also because he is the most original Strawhat since Chopper. I like how he has a techno/dance theme, and how he can go from peppy to emo in a blink of an eye. And his fight with Fukurou was one of my favorite EL fights hands down. Simply AMAZING, or should I say… S-U-P-A!!! >:] Sorry, I had to. ;_;

Brook
Ok, he isn't an official Strawhat yet, but come on, he's got to be! But I wont go into that here. I love his gentlemen theme, although I do not completely understand his fighting style… THATS GOOD! That means that when it gets animated, I'll be blowned awai. ;o He's hilarious too. I can really see some Afro/Skeleton puns. ;)

Ussop and Zoro are next in line. ;) I love the ladies of One piece too. I just don't find them as interesting as some of the guys. ;]

Ok, so most people here think that the Paw Paw Fruit is a Paramecia, but what about this thought: it's an Air Logia? no, not like tornadoes, that's wind. But AIR, that's different. You know how he can telleport and stuff? Well, if it was an Air Logia, this could be explained as him turning into Air and automatically appearing in another location, as all air is connected. This could also explain his bombs. As he can turn his body into air, and since there is an infinite suply of air, he could compress large amounts of air into small "air pockets" that explode over time. This could be compared to a balloon. If you blow into a balloon, it will grow and grow, until it reaches it's limits. POP! But if you start to blow in a balloon, and then hold the sides of it with your hands, the balloon can't xpand, and the air is trapped between your mouth and the balloon, causing it to explode early.

Well, what do you guys think? (Also, sorry for making TWO Kuma threads, I guess I find him interesting enough to be worthy. ;P

Sorry if there is already a thread like this.

Anyway, with Luffy and Co. having already killed off two Shichibukai (Crocodile, Moria) and now Heading to Fishman island, where a load of people (Including myself) believe he will fight another Shichibukai named Jimbei (Jimbei is part of the Japanese word Jimbei-Zame, which means "Whale Shark" heavily implying that he is a fishman) what is the world government plan to do? I mean there is a 98% chance the Strawhats will escape Kuma, and a 1% chance they'll defeat him, and another 1% chance that some other crazy thing will happen. Assuming they escape Kuma without defeating him him (EXTREMELY likely) and then defeat Jimbei, there will only be five Shichibukai left. Mihawk, Kuma, Doflamingo, Blackbeard, and the unknown Shichibukai. Plus there is the beleif that prior to the end of the series, Luffy will defeat Blackbeard, and Zoro will defeat Mihawk. Leaving only Kuma, Doflamingo, and the unknown Shichibukai.

What do you think the Government will do? Find replacements as always? Invite Luffy to the Shichibukai(he obviously wouldn't accept), or just disban the Shichibukai altogether? What do you think?
