/a/ - Animu & Mango

Where's that fag that was swearing up and down that Wano wasn't going to start yet? What a dingo.

I'm liking how Luffy seems to behave a bit more mature now, I mean hell he didn't even screech for meat for once and was actually grateful for the tiny serving of plain rice.

>>842572

It's funny how even though we've been post timeskip for a while, we've only seen glimpses of Luffy's growth.

Shit mane, that last page.

>>842596

>KYAOOOO

<NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!

Alright so 2 and a half chapters in and we have:

>Kaido looming in the horizon right after Luffy basically declared war on another Yonkou

>Zoro being pursued as a criminal

>Hawkins about to jump in

>Reverie going on with very heavy implications that the Revolutionaries will make a big fucking mess there

>Crew about to reunite

I can already tell this arc will be far more explosive than Whole Cake

>>842659

You forgot that luffy dropped his vivre card which could possibly mean that it might have something to do with this arc sometime soon.

There's three visible photos on the paper news: Kaido, Big Mom and whose the last one ?

(his pic is on the same page as Big mom's pic)

Predictions:

- Big Mom is heading to Wano to try and ally with Kaido against Luffy. This will fall apart and lead yo a three way war eventually.

-Luffy's vivre card being lost might result in the grand fleet showing up? Long shot, but I know that's happening eventually like Whitebeards allies at Marineford.

-Luffy allies with Hawkins and Kidd, but Kidd is violent and unstable and his lust for revenge after his humiliating defeat will complicate things. At least some of their crews were likely killed, everyone is leaning towards Killer as the likely victim.

-I think X Drake will stay loyal to Kaido.

-I suspect the WG is heading for Wano, but I'm really hoping I'm wrong as it would be nice to have an arc with no involvement from them like with thd last one.

I really like where this arc's going, so far. And once again Oda proves how much of a master of gutpunches he is. I really still find it incredible how much story he can cram into a few pages.

>>842815

The vivre card is Kinemon's. It getting lost just delays their reunion.

>>842815

World Government won't be in Wano. Akainu already stopped Kizaru from going because they had no intel as to the strength of Wano's defenses. The only way Marines could work in this arc is if someone like Smoker and Taishigi were sent in for reconnaissance. But with then Strawhats, the Samurai, and four Supernovas I don't think there's going to be any room for them.

I don't normally have standards, but the pacing and dialog in this chapter almost was extremely off. The layout was even claustrophobic. Why is that?

>girl with some sort of mochi power

>right after the arc with the mochi villain

HMMMMMM

>>843034

>Ace failed to protect Sweet Cheek's smile.

>>843027

I had the exact same thought. Dont know why they did that seeing it could come off as her coming from an organized crime family.

>>843035

"Mochi-Mochi" is an onomatopoeia for stretchy chewy stuff. Not that he was literally made of Mochi like her.

>>843055

I found the answer to your questions here:

https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/43023/is-aniki-more-rude-than-niisan

>it could come off as her coming from an organized crime family.

sh's might be part of a mafia, yeah.

I know I'm probably in the minority, but I'm sick of Carrot. I like the idea of a mink mugiwara, but she's boring and she feels... Like a mary sue. Her backstory is No where near as compelling as the others, everyone loves her though she's a stow away, she instantly defeated Luffy when he ate her carrots and saved him from drowning at another point, and she has a special power with limited usability that makes her prettier and leaves her in a weakened state. Virtually every other mink has a more interesting backstory.

>>843165

When you point it out like that, I dislike her too. It's just that she's so forgettable otherwise that my mind just ignores her when she gets mentioned.

>>843165

>>843166

I completely forgot she existed until reading these posts.

>>843170

>>843166

I just keep seeing Carrot videos recommended in my feed with titles like "CARROT INSTANTLY DEFEATS LUFFY" "CARROT SAVES LUFFY'S LIFE" "EVERYONE LOVES CARROT" etc. and then going "wait, when did that happen? Oh yeah, I remember now." They added a lot more scenes like that for her in the anime, especially in the filler, so now every time I see her smiling face I just think of Rey fixing the Millennium Falcon.

Like, I remember way back when I first saw Brook and didn't want to like him. "They already have a swordsman..." But his backstory and personality both instantly won me over, and it's been like that with most OP characters. Except for Law's flashback, that just made me like Corazon.

>>843163

From your own source:

>兄貴 is not really rude, but rough and slangy. In manga and anime, certain people such as gangs and tomboyish girls tend to use 兄貴 to refer to their own older brothers or bosses. Such people use 兄貴 to refer to someone else's brother without being offending. In real life, I occasionally hear 兄貴, but it's not common. If I'm not mistaken it's like "bro" in English.

She's a kid so it would seem she would fall under the tomboyish girl criteria.

The next WSJ issue has 2 One Piece spin-off oneshots.

Shokugeki no Sanji and Fishers x One Piece.

>>843736

I read this and for a second thought Wall street Journal had started publishing manga.

Jump had a puzzle which was recently solved revealing a spoiler about 912 (that honestly should be obvious given how thr last chapter ended) 912 will be a flashback chapter about Ace's time in Wano.

What bothers me to this day is that Ace got all the way to Wano and apprenticed under one of the Yonko, without ever learning about Haki until fighting Blackbeard. He was a Yonko commander too, which makes it so much worse now that Yonko commanders have Haki on top of Haki.

>>843796

None of Whitebeard's pirates used it. You can look at it one of two ways, either the crews had some form of specialization and intentionally refused to use it -sort of like how no one else seems to use those extremely useful techniques Cipher Pol uses that let them fly, shoot bullets and become invulnerable- Oda hadn't come up with haki yet -but the rudiments had already been revealed with Mantra on Skypeia and Shanks using conquerer's in front of Whitebeard- or the third (retcon) option is that people have been using it all along but you can't see it unless you're aware of it. I mean even Smoker can use it now.

>>843796

>>843811

As far as I understand, Haki is something that everyone can use to some extent, and the stronger they are the more likely they are to awaken specific kinds of haki, but at the same time, using Armament Haki, for instance, requires training. It's like a fighting style. Some people might learn to use it instinctively, but just because someone isn't shouting Busoshoku Haki before every attack doesn't mean that they can't muster any Haki.

>>843829

>>843811

>>843796

Ace would probably be packing Conqueror's haki. Isn't it incredibly rare to wield all three at once?

>>843859

It's confirmed that he did have it, but never really mastered it. He used it instinctively as a child, and recognized a similar power in Luffy during the Marineford War.

I'd say only Tenryuubito and "D"s are most likely to get it, but Shanks, Boa Hancock, Katakuri, and old fucks like Chinjao all apparently have it in some capacity.. so who knows. It's half bloodline ability, half being-strong-as-fuck

Do you think Chopper is going to remain weak for the rest of the series? I've been kind of disappointed with his growth, at least in terms of combat ability. I've also been disappointed with how underutilized Robin is. She should be the most powerful member of the crew with how many powers her fruit gives her. I've said it before, but she can teleport, phase, create doubles, regenerate endlessly, temporarily fly and create giant limbs -which I'm sure will evolve into a full giant form. As to where I'm getting the teleport/phase thing, back during the Fishman island arc they threw a metal net over her. She dissolved into flower petals and rematerialized outsidr of the net. It makes sense, since she can make her limbs appear anywhere she can see.

Or to put it in comic book terms, she's wolverine, multiple man, shadowcat, nightcrawler, and giant man all in one.

Imagine if she learned that finger bullet technique.

>>843841

>spanish scanlations

Do they blow niggerstream out of the water in terms of being shit and memebloated or are they actually decent?

Gol D. Roger is a time traveling Luffy.

>>844553

>Do you think Chopper is going to remain weak for the rest of the series?

Yes, and I hope he does, we've already got 15 years to go without focusing on a man-reindeer getting stronger.

>>844553

Robin has yet to be put up against an opponent that would require her to use all of her powers to their fullest. Without a doubt, Oda could construct an amazing fight scene where Robin is a truly terrifying opponent, attacking from all sides, appearing and disappearing, and occasionally unleashing a skyscraper-sized fist... But there are lots of problems with that. For one, Robin is not a fighter, she's an archaeologist and she doesn't enjoy fights the way that Luffy and Zoro do. She'd need an opponent who could survive her usual neck clutch or any of her usual tactics and also force her to get really serious, which is a hell of a character to create, and at that point, you start wondering why that kind of threat isn't thrown at one of the stronger Strawhats, not just because it makes sense, but because that's what Oda and the editors would likely insist on doing. As best I can figure, Oda giving Robin such an absurd power was likely more of a mistake. Something to make her interesting and then a powerup to keep her alongside the rest of the crew, but not something that he can fully take advantage of.

Which brings me to Chopper and the rest of the weak characters: Even though One Piece is largely a battle manga with characters training and struggling to get stronger to beat tougher opponents, not every character in the crew exists solely to fight. Nami's greatest accomplishment will not be beating the strongest opponent she's ever had to face, it will be navigating to Raftel and mapping the world. Likewise, Robin's final payoff will be decoding as many poneglyphs as possible, revealing the truth of the Void Century, and avenging Ohara by spreading the truth and knowledge she's accumulated. With Chopper, I can only assume that his time to shine will not be combat either, but in an act of medical heroism. The Wano arc has set up that Kaidou's factories are poisoning and killing people, which is a perfect thing for Chopper to occupy himself with, while Luffy and Zoro get into a fight with Kaidou.

>>844813

He's probably going to punch them while holding one of the greatest swords in the world, completely misusing it.

I think how the next chapter goes will depend on whether Hawkins henchmen are from his own crew or they work for Kaidou. If they're his, this'll be an actual fight. If they're Kaidou's then he'll let himself get beaten up but use his voodoo power to redirect the damage to them so he can talk to Luffy without Kaidou knowing.

>>844813

>he finds zoro first

Is this going where I expect it to?

>>844833

They both get lost together running all across Wano.

>>844833

>>844835

>You have meat!

>You can eat all you want out here, it's great!

>It's poisoned!

>That must be why my stomach's sore

What makes this even better is Luffy chomping into a hunk of meat while telling Zoro the bad news. I don't know if there's a funnier pairing than the original duo.

>>844847

I like Chopper and Ussop with Luffy, they're the three most child-like. I lovr the gag that those two believe all of Ussop's lies. One of my favorite gags was Danni scolding Luffy for eating all the food, and behind him we see Chopper and Ussop fishing with worried looks on their faces and their mouths full with an arrow pointing at them that says "Accomplices".

Robin's deadpan is great, I really like her voice actress. Her horrified reaction to Franky in Choppers body, her refusal to take part in docking, her simply calling things adorable.

Brook works with everyone as well.

>>844849

*Sanji

Hate this phone.

>Zoro's been eating lots of poisoned meat.

Welp, there's his handicap for the arc. Also, I wonder what will become of that cursed 2nd-tier named sword. It's made by the same blacksmith that made Zoro's cursed 3rd-tier sword he got way back in Lougetown.

>>844854

Maybe the poison causes him to sprout another arm. Or it gives him Magellan-tier indigestion, causing him to be absent for half the fuckin arc because he gets lost on his way back.

>>844883

I'm hoping it was just a throwaway line for the gag and he's fine, because Luffy ate some too and food poison seems to be the only sort that still effects Luffy. Also it would make him look kind of weak since it's the same poison effecting Otama and she's been consuming it regularly.

>>844854

>another arc of Zoro unable to go full power

I swear if this meme ends with some shit like "he was stronger than Mihawk the whole time after the timeskip, but never got to show it" I'm going to blow a gasket

>>844906

S-surely oda will subvert our expectations by causing Zoro serious stomach pain, causing him to beat the #2 in a single chapter so he can get to a bathroom.

>>844833

If you mean Luffy meeting his crew in the order he recruited them, maybe. It could just be because this is the big Zoro arc, but that idea sounds like it could be great and quite enjoyable. It makes sense for Robin and Brook to be met up with later on anyways, as Robin plans on sneaking into the Shogun's palace and doing shit, which is fairly end-game, and Brook already had his arc very recently so his separation won't feel too bad. I'd like to see if their meetings could parallel the originals.

>>844929

Zoro will get angry at Kaido for indirectly causing him this stomach pain, and will one-shot him. That's how this arc ends.

>>845038

>One-shots Kaido while looking for the bathroom in his castle

>"Alright. Now where's that Kaido?"

>Kaido barely survives and falls in love with Zoro for being the only man to hurt him

>Luffy recruits Kaido

>>845071

It's like I'm really reading youtube comments.

>>842596

>Sucks that we got some of them back together after scrambling for an entire arc, only for them to be split again.

That's how Oda starts half of the arcs. 1-2 chapters of the crew goofing off while sailing to teh new island and then immediately split the crew to different areas.

>>845473

Yeah, it's easier to write than the whole crew together. I mean, I'm in the minority in that I really enjoyed seeing Hody Jones crew get curbstomped by all of the strawhats, but most of the time they all have separate adventures leading up to them reuniting and Luffy going solo on the big bad. It also works nicely that the characters can show up to rescue one another from cliffhangers.

There's 50 great swords + 21 whatever swords + 12 unga bunga swords.

There's 83 swords to be release.

I hope Oda will not make a character with many arms with a legendary sword on each hands

>>846292

Well let's see, he's given us 3 sword style, two sword style, giant sword style, six sword style octopus, two swords and a unicycle, ten blades with one on each finger, octopus who only uses one. Blade but applies his poison to it, three blades split into Asura to make nine blades, one big blade carried in your off-hand because your original is gone, and Cracker initially presented himself as having the ability to grow infinite hands with infinite swords, but this was a ruse. Technically, Robin could still do that though. There was also Shiki with his sword legs and a sword guy who could turn his whole body into swords. I think that's it... Rosinante had his folding swords and there was that liquid cloud metal sword in Skypeia.

>>846292

Technically speaking, last chapter revealed that the legendary blades don't necessarily have to be swords. Hell, Whitebeard's bisento could have been a legendary blade. It would be a pointless change but if some autist put Oda on the spot about all twelve Saijo O Wazimono swords it could happen.

>>844768

If Robin had been inside the Mirror World it would have been very bad for the Big Mom pirates I think.

>>844799

For me, it's still "I have a dad?"

Yes, Luffy, you didn't just appear one day.

>>844768

This theory works until you get to Nami, after this last arc she's been upgraded to the fourth or fifth most powerful member. She still has all her thief agility and cunning, but her rod has become an extremely powerful weapon extending to any length and giving her control of the elements. She was the only reason Luffy beat Cracker and throughout the entire arc her use of Zeus damaged Big Mom more than anything else, and that cannot be understated. Luffy nearly passed out just clashing haki with her. With Zeus she's truly s force to be reckoned with now, shit's going to be awesome with her flying around on him whipping out typhoons and smacking shit. The only way around that -but it would annoy thr shit out of everyone and I can't see Oda doing it- is if Zeus gets a downgrade as a result of his defeat and enslavement.

>>846895

I think you've severely misunderstood why Big Mom is such a threat and what makes her so powerful, as well as exaggerating how strong Zeus is. Getting a sentient cloud that can bolster her abilities is a big step up for Nami, but she's still one of the weakest Strawhats for many other reasons, and even with her weather-tech stuff, she still doesn't do much to make it easier for the crew to sail the New World.

I don't think Nami will ever be a formidable fighter. She's powerful, but the story just isn't set up for her to be anything but support to one of the other stronger characters.

>>846895

To put it in faggy videogame terms, Nami has massive amounts of Magic Attack, but her Defense and HP are minimal.

She would most definitely not survive any of the crazy bullshit the monster trio, Chopper or even Usopp get to eat in every other major fight. On top of this, her big moves all have a cast time of sorts making her far less effective in a straight 1v1 fight.

Nami is strong, but only as long as she starts with the advantage and gets to mop up the fight fast before any counterattacks happen.

>>844830

>He's probably going to punch them while holding one of the greatest swords in the world, completely misusing it.

That would be nice.

>>846907

Back in Punk Hazard when they swapped bodies Sanji commented that her body was shockingly durable and able to handle the a strain of performing all of his techniques. I don't think there is a truly weak Strawhat. Chopper is the weakest but I honestly think this is because of the self-imposed rules he said up for Zoan powers limiting what abilities he can give him. I mean he's just been dramatically outshined by every single member of the Mink tribe. It's a shame because his low bounty is funnier if he is an actual threat, and I don't know if on his own he could even take down the Zoan Impel down guards.

Mami having a charge time for some of her moves is less of in issue since she can now fly and she's had increasingly sophisticated stealth mirage techniques sincr Alabasta.

>>846921

>I don't think there is a truly weak Strawhat.

This.

Chopper, Nami and Ussop are "weak" in the sense they don't like fighting and will do everything else to get out of a fight if they can. While nearly everyone else is perfectly fine using force.

There is no real reason to believe they're really much weaker than the rest.

>>846921

>Back in Punk Hazard when they swapped bodies Sanji commented that her body was shockingly durable and able to handle the a strain of performing all of his techniques.

If I recall correctly, Sanji's observation about Nami's body was that it wasn't tough enough to withstand most of Sanji's techniques. Not entirely sure, because that arc was years ago, though.

>>842570

Chapter 1000 indeed will be the last one.

The treasure indeed will be the journey, but not only that: their power ups, the friends they made, the places they saw, the wisdom they acquired.

No gold in the world is capable of buying that, the ultimate treasure.

>>847060

You are a real bozo if you think even Wano arc will be done by chapter 1000.

>>847060

Some poor fool might believe you. Just in case, Oda specifically stated the One Piece is an actual treasure and it won't be something gay like the journey itself being the treasure.

>>847064

Are you saying that Ch.1000 will be all about flying uncensored dicks and pussies all around?

>>847065

Not only the journey, but everything they've done and acquired on it.

The treasure doesn't exist.

>>847071

Yeah, No. Kishimoto and Kubo moght have gotten away with non-endings, but Oda has a lot of autistic committed fans who would be very violent vocal in their disappointment.

>>848359

One Piece has a level of status and fame in Japan that practically makes it the country's unofficial religion. If Oda asspulled an awful ending, they'd burn him alive for it.

>>848359

>>848364

He's had an ending planned from day one, though I'll bet the scale has changed quite a bit. One Piece is an actual treasure, several I'll bet. And I bet there's some kind of trial or trap preventing it from being accessed, otherwise someone would have simply stumbled onto it by now.

I just hope the crew doesn't split up after the journey ends. Everything I've seen though suggests they will. I don't want Luffy to pass the torch to some other upstart little shit either.

>>848448

He's gotta give up the hat.

>>848448

>>848462

Its Luffy's dream to be pirate king and theres no way he would give it up easily because of his personality. If he passes it on it would be because someone else stronger beat him.

>>848474

I'd guess that older Luffy will pass on the hat to some young hot-blooded kid with huge guts, while retaining his status as the Pirate King until he dies of falling off the his ship in the middle of the night, sinking to the depths with none to bear witness to his passing.

>>848462

>>848474

>>848506

I hope this is subverted by him giving it back to Shanks like was originally planned, after the journey ends. Of course, I think Shanks is going to die before they reunite, and Luffy will leave the hat at Shanks grave. Probably Blackbeard'll do it.

>>848525

I think it would be cool if Shanks was the final fight of the series. Not for malicious reasons, but simply because he wants to really test Luffy's mettle and see how much he's grown. As it stands, Shanks is one of the few people in the world who could probably be Pirate King right now if he wanted, and we haven't been told why. We know he's powerful enough to stop the entire fucking Navy in its tracks. We know he trained under Gold Roger himself. We know he regularly travels all over the world, weaving in and out of the Grand Line and New World as he pleases. We know that even after losing an arm, he's still one of the strongest men alive.

If we don't get at least one Shanks fight before Raftel, he'd better show up for one sparring match with Luffy.

>>848542

>As it stands, Shanks is one of the few people in the world who could probably be Pirate King right now if he wanted, and we haven't been told why.

Luffy has something that Shanks doesn't have. Shanks is using Luffy to got near the One Piece

>>848474

If someone stronger beat Luffy for the title, he would just keep asking rematches until he won it back

>>848571

how do you use someone to realise the true treasure was the friends luffy made along the way.

>>848596

The true treasure was the actual treasure that they found along the way.

Full chapter is out, most notorious twist is ANOTHER FUCKING BREAK NEXT WEEK

>>848718

>land-Jinbei

Might be cool.

>>848764

He's a sumo fighter and a yokozuna. That means he's practically nobility based entirely on his skills as a fighter. Land-Jimbei could have any woman he wants, because he's famous and likely rich as fuck from winning so many competitions. I think he's forceful, but not a bad guy. If he were, he would have just taken the waitress girl instead of constantly asking her out and offering her a better life after seeing her living in squalor and selling food made from leftovers.

>>848802

>he's practically nobility

Wapol and the Celestial Dragons are literally nobility and they're villains.

I don't know though, his eyebrows and everything we know about him scream weasel villain, but we'll just have to wait and see. He's coming to a girl's place of work and saying if she marries him she won't have to work, which means he's rich in a kingdom where that can only be achieved with Kaido's blessing, and then he immediately insults her food as not good enough for him. Remember that fat guy with the exploding dials Robin fought in Skypeia? That's who he reminds me of in design.

>>848906

No, that would be retarded.

He'll be named O-Garp.

>sequel is announced

>TWO PIECE THE NEXT GENERATION

>>849474

Super One Piece.

There's now God Vegetables that bestow new powers. Luffy has to master a WHOLE NEW POWER on the high seas of the SUPER grand line.

>>849474

>>849487

I want to say Oda must be making so much money as the author of the best selling manga ever that he'd never do that, but all these side stories coming out by other authors makes me wonder.

>>849508

Manga is a strange industry. They work amateurs nearly to death and sculpt them into manga producing machines who slowly realize they had no idea what they were getting into with the amount of labor and the creative strain it would introduce, especially when the lead artist and writer are the same person.

Some guys need to be constantly pushed and given ideas and guidance by their editors. Others need constant prodding to keep the art exciting. Oda is quite literally one of those once in a lifetime talents, the kind that they write stories about. I can't foresee an editor fucking with his creative process too often. It's the kind of thing that they need to handle very gently, because too much prodding could spoil the innate quality that makes the series so popular, but leaving Oda unleashed could mean a lot of time wasted on very, very silly ideas.

>>849514

>editor fucking with his creative process too often

I'd heard Oda didn't intend for One Piece to be very long at all but never found any thing that looked like hard proof of that. Like, that almost everything after Alabasta wasn't really planned. I find it hard to believe but that's the only thing I've ever heard of editors or top brass effecting him.

I heard Oda also gets kind of stressed out because he knows a lot of people have jobs because of him and that he thinks that if One Piece takes a shit he's gonna ruin people's lives.

>>849541

Poor Oda, he doesn't even realize that OP will be a cash cow no matter how badly it fucks up.

>>849514

>>849541

From what I've read, Oda didn't originally intend for Shanks arm to get bitten off, his editor found the first chapter boring so he changed that to make it more dramatic. He also intended for Whitebeard to flat out kill Akainu but his editor stepped in and insisted he survive as he'd make a better villain later in the series.

He also initially intended to stop with the Shichibukai, but as he started writing those arcs he kept coming up with new characters and raising the stakes and power levels until he felt more powerful adversaries were needed.

>>849581

That explain why Akainu hasnt really had much presence despite being the new fleet admiral.

So I was just thinking about the difference in strength between the warlords and the Yonko. Obviously some were shit, and Doflamingo was terrified of Kaido, so he better be a fucking monster, but I was wondering specifically about Hancock and Mihawk. I definitely think Mihawk could take out a yonko commander, I'd put him at least on par with Katakuri personally. But I'm wondering if Hancock's power would work on any of them. The only requirement seems to be that you find her attractive. If Kaido really fathered kids with Big Mom his standards can't be too high, so she should be able to put him to stone. Now we know Big Mom can't drain Kaido's life because he doesn't fear death.

Also, Fujitora should be immune to Hancock since it's been established her power doesn't work on the blind.

>>850107

>conceived 3 different babies by 3 different men at the same time and birthed them as "triplets"

I heard once that dogs could do this. I was very skeptic of it, but I suppose it makes sense that if multiple eggs are viable at the same time an individual's sperm could make their way inside one of them, and another man's sperm would get into another one and so one. Just seems very unlikely, would require the rare event of a multiple ovulation coupled with the woman getting fucked by multiple men and each one of the eggs being fertilized.

>>850215

Portgas D. Rouge held a pregnancy for 20 months by sheer force of will alone. One Piece is a weird place.

>>850214

...Wait, holy shit. What if Kaido had the abilities of all the different races of One Piece? All the qualities of Fishmen and Minks and Giants and even Dwarves. Even whatever bird race Morgans is from and possibly some retillian one. He would be able to survive in any environment, fly and have control over all the elements among other things. Just a character who was half fishman half mink would be extremely broken.

Yeah, focus doesn't switch yet. My usual source turned out to be full of it. I assumed they were accurate because whoever posted them posted the real cover along with them, but evidently they got a picture of the actual cover and just decided to lie about the spoilers.

So in an interview Oda says that he mostly plans how things are gonna turn out but sometimes he makes last minute changes. Rob Lucci being in CP9 and Shanks showing up after the war were 2 last minute changes

Was that Shanks on the cover? Black cape, only one arm visible. What could it mean? Is he going to the town Barto visited? It doesn't look like any character on the grand fleet aside maybe from the spring-leg guy.

>>852847

So then who could it be? Who is related to the Grand Fleet and looks like that? This is the first time in months I'm genuinely curious about the cover story. Barto's was interesting and I liked seeing the new Giants but otherwise little od the GF's activities were interesting.

>>852847

Maybe he finally got a prosthetic arm?

And his haki is so powerful he uses it to move it...?

>>852854

It's Bellamy he didn't join the grand fleet but took a vivre card of Luffy just in case. If shit goes down he'll probably come along with rest of the grand fleet.

Also one of the flags in the background is the flag of Shanks' crew.

>>852869

We can't stand it. Which is why we read the manga.

It's been three or four years. Did they ever explain why Zoro was missing an eye? Was it just to make him look stupid?

>>852894

Nothing yet, which is weird because we've had plenty of time with Zoro since the timeskip. Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, and now he's back again after the Whole Cake Island arc, and as far as we know, he just doesn't open that eye.

This is also kind of pissing me off because aside from just getting "stronger" we haven't seen much of a change in him. The timeskip implied that all the Strawhats were sent to places that would hone their existing abilities. Zoro trained with the strongest swordsman in the world and we still don't know what the fuck that entails. Sanji trained under the Okamas and supposedly learned some special recipes, but can't be bothered to use any of them.

>>852894

>Was it just to make him look stupid?

Oda has a thing about outlandish character design, it would be iconic if he didn't have to constantly pair them up with each other every time and forget to put in the main characters as well.

The best part about this however is that eventually he'll have to draw all 1 million characters to every detail for whatever finale he has planned for the series, he'll inevitably break his wrists.

>>852898

It's probably going to be his ultimate move set like with Kakashi in Naruto once he opens it.

>>852898

I think it's too much of a coincidence that Fujitora is also a swordsman, has the same scars over his eyes and revealed he did it to himself. Maybe part of their training causes them to learn some truth about the ugliness pf the world most can't bare to look at? Maybe Zoro had the same reaction as Fujitora but was able to stop himself -or was stopped by someone else- before he tool out his other eye?

I hope it's a power of some kind though. I'm so sick of these "they can only use it for x minutes before they become exhausted/shortens their lifespan/they will die!" power ups though.

>>852873

Maybe he intends to design a new Jolly Roger?

I'd be interested to see what kind of crew he'd pick up now. If he's still following in Luffy's footsteps like he did by going to Skypeia it might make sense for him to pick up some of those fan favorites that don't currently have a crew. Hachi, Gin and Bon Clay and such. There's certainly enough out there for them to do it, and it's kind of what that Giant crew is assumed to be doing with all the giants we've met.

>>852994

Bon-Chan is still in Impel Down and is running Newkama land.

>>853151

He's escaped twice already, and with Magellan demoted and replaced with a weak pot-bellied dweeb who inexplicably dresses like a pharaoh the security can't have gotten tighter.

All he'd need is some motivation to leave. Suppose he happens by Daflamingo's cell and Doffy reveals his secret. Something he feels Luffy desperately needs to hear.

915 spoilers are out and confirmed legit.

It was Bellamy on the cover. He's gone to the town to retire from pirating and work there.

Urashima confirmed villain in this chapter. He'd seen eating with another smile user, Mouseman complaining about how he wants that girl to be his wife. Mouseman says he should just take her by force which makes him smile. He then orders someone to cook their PET tanuki as a meal for him, on account of being pure solid douche.

Another headliner called Golden is revealed, he has a lion head on his stomach and they both roar. He had the girl kidnapped because he's interested in her animal taming power. He orders her cheek pinched (the fiend!)

Luffy loudly announces they're there to rescue the girl at the gate, the female samurai is horrified by him doing this. A bunch of weak ronin attack them but Luff knocks them out with haki. They're then attacked by sumo wrestlers. Urashima thinks the girl is there to accept his marriage proposal. She tries to hide behind Zoro but is much too large for this to work. Zoro doesn't feel right cutting a bunch of fat, unarmed naked guys so he lets them right by him. They take her to Urashima but when she gets before him she unsheathes her sword and lops off his top knot(!) leading to the chapter ending on an increasingly excited Luffy.

>>854083

>It's Friday already

Jesus

>>854083

Also

Back to CuckChan nigger.

>>854083

On top of screwing up the spoiler tags, my phone screwed up the spelling of the headliner. His name is Holdem not Golden.

>>854089

>On top of screwing up the spoiler tags,

If only there was some other way to spoiler your text. Well, who knows? Maybe you'll actually find one if you look it up.

Enel vs Magellan, who would win?

It's pretty much the only fight where I can't settle on a clear victor.

>>854172

>Enel floats up and shits out lightning until Magellan is fried

>if he gets poisoned he just needs to disintegrate and reform to purge it all, or just do some fancy electrical trick to dissolve the poison inside himself

Enel could rape nearly all of the cast solely on account of his fruit giving him speed only to second to Kizaru and he being already acquainted with Haki.

Luffy only won due to the sheer luck of being rubber, and a Enel that bothered to research and develop his own Haki further would be an admiral-tier monster

>Hell you can kill her whole family so she only has you to rely on

Jesus Oda that's the most one dimensional characterization of a villain I've ever seen. Was the writing always this shit?

>>854274

I don't think Kaidou's henchmen have ever been anything other than strong scumbags. The arc where they were introduced showed they're just the worst people he could find.

>>854277

Still he could try at least building up to that extreme.

>>854274

Oda's typical style is to spend an entire arc doing everything in his power to make you hate the villain so that when Luffy finally kicks his ass it's incredibly satisfying. They've all done despicable things. The vaguely sympathetic ones end up allies. Even Buggy burned down that pet store.

Hancock was introduced as constantly kicking puppies and kittens, literally and a supremely stuck up botch who looks so far down on you her head acyually goes straight back.

Enel declared himself a god, cared about none of his men, blew up his home island and I tended to blow up others simply because he had no further use for them abd zappes around the island tormenting people arrogantly.

Crocodile framed a good king by starving his kingdom and starting a civil war. When the king's guard took a drug to fight him that they knew would kill them even though they couldn't possibly have harmed him he didn't even let them try, he dishonoured their sacrifice by dusting out of their reach and then mocking them as they die.

Arlong murdered Nami's adoptive mom, kidnapped her telling her she'd be freed if she coild but the island from him and once she had the money he stole it from her so she would have to start over on top of all tue racist stuff which is only made harder to believe after seeing his past with Fisher Tiger and Panda.

Wapol made it illegal to be a doctor unless you worked for him killing you if you practiced medicine outside of his employ and extorting money from his people for any medicall care at all.

Doflamingo killed his own brother, mind controlled an entire kingdom to frame their king and take over and then had anyone who fought him turned into a doll, erased from people's memories and forced into slavery.

I mean, I could do this for everybody. Remember Big Mom's glee in how she was going to betray her allies and have Sanji's brains blown out at the wedding? How about Jack poisoning the monks and then cutting off their leaders limbs? Caesar experimenting on children with addictive and far so drugs disguised as candy? Basically everything Akainun did at Marineford including trying to murder Coby? Magellan lecturing Shillew on murdering prisoners and then running around fatally poisoning any prisoner that annoys him? They're always gleefully unrepentant assholes.

>>854327

I Could argue Doflamingo got so much shit it made him crazy. Everyone in their peasant town deserved to die, and he got so crazy he went full evil.

I could even argue Arlong was already racist and got full crazy after the whole Fisher Tiger's death and seeing how disgusting humans were not only for betraying them, but just forcing him to bride them.

I could EVEN defend Big Mon as she was just a tool for more deviant people and because she was an adict. It is impossible for her to redeem herself unless she finds someone MUCH stronger to make her feel pain, and by proxy, empathy.

The rest are assholes, I don't doubt that.

Is a shame Gil Tesoro isn't canon. I wish his gold thirstiness could be healed because he sure was a victim turned crazy.

So far I'm a little underwhelmed by Kaido's crew. This Golden guy is a headliner, which should put him on the level of Hawkins at least, but his lion power is seemingly beyond his control and innhis introduction punches him in the nuts hurting them both. Jack's crew also kind of sucked besides him, and I did have a soft spot for the chick but only her physique. Even Jack got absolutely stomped both by the Navy and by Zou itself. Also to be honest the animal fruits have thus far always been the least interesting. An entire army of people with animal enhancements could get boring quick, that's why I think both the Supernova and evil Wano remnants are supplementing his forces so much.

This may be the recurring theme though with Yonko. Big Mom's commanders were strong but honestly everyone else with a few exceptions didn't seem that impressive.

>>854332

I don't think their pasts justify their actions. Doflamingo killed his own father, and he wss able to stop the town because of "a darkness" that was already in him. It's what Trebol saw in him. Corazon had the same experiences and he was an utter sweetheart.

Arlong's experiences didn't really justify his prejudice, especially given it going directly against the wishes of his queen as well as his captain. He also inspired Hody so his evil carried on sfter his defeat.

Big Mom may be retarded, but mad dogs get put down. She straight up ate all those orphans. Every time she doesn't get what she eants she throws a murderous tantrum. All of her children live in terror of her because on top of eating some of them she's horribly abusive, hence so many of her daughters defecting at the first chance. She also tosses aside the husbands as soon as she gives birth not even allowing them to see their children. Pound died happy just getting to for one brief moment see and protect his daughter and grandson.

I'm most curious about her past with Kaido. He was at the very least able to fight her to a standstill and they fucked before she got ugly. I kind of wonder how she got hot for a while with her eating habits never changing. Or maybe she'd get hot every time she went a day without eating or something.

>>854344

Well, metabolism is a bitch, and she can starve herself to death in just a day. She might be strong but she consumes herself in a few hours.In fact, being so crazy with hunger might be her body screaming to eat because she needed constant feeding.

I'm not saying Doflamingo or Arlong could be redeemed, but maybe... MAYBE...Big Mom could get something close to a redemption arm. A fucking Celestial Dragon got redeemed, for fuck's sake.

>>854333

The lion thing is obviously one of those ridiculous personality quirks Oda is so fond of, and they don't really have any bearing on the character's fighting ability.

Remember how Magellan constantly poisons himself to the point he spends most of the day in the toilet, everyday, for no reason beyond "poison tastes good"? Didn't stop him from being an absolute demon in a fight.

>>854345

Aren't the Celestial Dragons retards though?

>>854360

It depends. Doflamingo was a celestial dragon after all and he wasn't a retard. They are the descendents of the former kings that explored the stars, so you should expect some of them to have crazy haki skills. Unless everything was made up by the secret king.

>>854364

I look at them more like a third generational curse thing. You know how it's said the first generation works really hard to gain wealth and the second gets better jobs and maintains that wealth buy lives more comforta my and the third generation squanders the money because they're spoiled.

Also, I think it's worth noting to the people complaining Wano's king was for "open borders" because he wanted to have contact with the rest of the world, so far all of Kaido's men look like foreign invaders. It may be a switcheroo where perhaps it was the king's good nature that allowed Kaido and his men to come in and take over. I wouldn't go so far as to claim it was intentional (though I definitely think it was with Big Mom) but you could even say the Beast Pirates = Muslims, though there's no religious element and Oda already had a pair of Muslims in OP so I don't think he'd be so subtle if he wanted to make a commentary on them.

>>854738

>OP movie

So it'll have gorgeous animation that puts the anime to shame, a binch if characters with alternate versions of powers we've seen before and tgmhe crew will get their asses handed to them for 4/5ths of the film only to suddenly remember the full extent of their powers in the final fight and clobber the bad guys.

Eh, I'll watch it and enjoy it for what it is as long as it doesn't introduce some new ally or interesting story detail that'd never brought up or confirmed as actually being canon in the series.

Actually, does Oda answer sbs questions from foreigners? Easiest thing to do would be to mail and ask him simply "do you consider any of the One Piece movies to be canon to the story and if so which ones?" Might be even smarter to phrase it listing which ones *you* think are canon since he tends to like those questions for some reason and always responds "Okay, done." Like when someone suggested Chopper's birthday should be Christmas.

I have mixed feelings on a movie a out the Rox Pirates though. If as you suggest it was a movie about Garp taking them down in his prime that would be fantastic since it would basically be a flashback arc in movie form, but I think a One Piece movie without the Strawhat would be a hard sell both to the studio and general audiences.

Which means one of two cringy options. 1. The plot involves time travel (strawhats go back in time or Rox Pirates come forward) or 2. The remnants of a crew from before even Roger's era meaning the entire crew would either be immortal or at least in their late 60's. Alternatively they could have been in some sort of suspended animation.

>>854738

The Rox pirates are likely going to play a role in the OP manga, I remember an interview by Oda in which he talked about the Straw Hats fighting an old legend in Wano, which likely is someone out of the Rox crew.

This is the most American cover and colour spread in recent memory. Big burgers, big muscles and BIG TITS.

Already we have four separate parties gathering to fuck shit up. I'm curious to find out if Basil really is totally aligned with Kaido.

>>856416

Nice nod from Oda to put Franky's face next to Nami, he knows his readers will just look at Nami's boobs first and Franky will be there at the side to say "Caught you looking at Nami's SUPER BOOBS!"

>>856419

Land Jinbei didn't last long

>>856805

I think it would be great if that was the last we saw of him, but I have a feeling he's this arc's Helmeppo and now that he was defeated in direct combat he's going to come back later and try something more underhanded.

Then again maybe not since that shit would get redundant as that's already what Holdem is doing with Otsuru. I'm really anxious to see what he can do. I'm going to be really disappointed if a character they described as one of Kaido's headliners isn't a fucking beast. He better be on par with Hawkins.

>>857261

>>856805

So much for his status as a future Strawhat... Oh well. Either he'll show up again later and try to redeem himself, or he'll resurface at the least opportune moment and try to get his revenge only to get completely curb stomped by one of the other Strawhats passing through. I would like to see him redeem himself, maybe having some kind of personal revelation after getting beaten so effortlessly by some foreigner.

Maybe in 10 more years, we'll get a cover story about how he's still a fat obnoxious loser, or how he's turned over a new leaf and he's helping Wano rebuild.

>>842580

Where? What site?

Also what chapter had Big Mom's backstory after the photo was destroyed? I think I left off there.

>>857261

Sheepshead was a headliner too and he got one-shot by Sanji. Headliner strength seems to vary, but it's likely that the Supernovas are actually stronger than the average headliner. It's probably in an awkward spot where they're stronger than headliners but weaker than calamities, so they were just relegated to headliner status anyway.

All I care about right now is carrot, I need more from her.

>>858498

Is this a joke? Carrot is subhuman.

>>858496

Hm, good point about Sheepshead, I didn't remember him being mentioned as a headliner but if he was the title means nothing.

There were members of Big Mom's crew that weren't shit, and I remember how much Bobbins was hyped as an island destroyer and then Sanji one-shotted him and immediately afterwards Bege just shot him off-screen.

Him aside though, most of her army seemed at least fairly strong. Most of them could skywalk and use haki for instance. It wasn't just her generals either, Oven, Daifuku, Amande and a couple dozen others were extremely strong. One of her low ranking henchmen comes back in a new form every time he dies.

Kaido so far has three calamaties and three supernovas confirmed working for him, but I doubt anyone thinks the supernovas are going to remain in his employ. It would be a shame if that's it for the guy who's been hyped for years as puttibg all his resources into building a massive army. Especially if the whole army is fodder. We're going through animals pretty quickly too. Lion, Gazelle, Bat, Rat, all throwaways.

>>858548

We still have the Calamities. That and the Shogun.

So the Vivre Card Databook Volume 1 was translated, here's the notable information:

Kuina's age doesn't line up with Tashigi, so the stupid theories might finally die down at least a little.

Roger and Shanks have bounties (though they weren't given), since Shanks has one, that acts as confirmation that Yonko are indeed given bounties.

Lucky Roo found the Gomu Gomu no Mi.

Finally, we got some real big news: going by card number, there are four missing cards between Brook and Roger, and the strawhats are indeed in order. It might be something else, but this seems like near-confirmation for the theory of four crew-members per section. Jinbe already joined, Carrot is extremely likely to join, so it's time to theorize about the remaining two.

>>859215

Law, Kinemon, Land Jinbei, and of course, Gangster Gastino

>>859215

Momonosuke.

-no kids on the ship yet

-role would be something like cabin boy (he would be to Luffy what Shanks was to Roger)

-has an artificial fruit, something not in the crew yet

-his fruit is also a mythical type, which is also something the crew doesn't have yet

-has a troubled past

>>859722

The weakness of Devil Fruits is also tied to the "sea prism stone" and the minerals in seawater. I doubt there's a Water Water No Mi, but I could see the true bad guys of the void century doing something as insane as flooding the world to kill their enemy, especially if they had the Red Line to retreat to. The world being mostly ocean is definitely a huge deal, but you also have to consider the other unique geographic features, like the fact that the planet is walled off into two distinct sides, the weather patterns all across the Grand Line are absolutely nuts. There's poneglyphs from the void century beneath the ocean, in the fucking sky, and dotted throughout the world.

>>859725

Also the shit with Fishman island that we all forgot about.

Merpeople and Fishmen fully capable of living on land. Their entire Kingdom exists in a giant bubble built from the special bubble material only found in Shaobody at the bottom of the one wall that bisects the planet. Centuries ago, the Fishmen were building an arc to TAKE EVERYONE TO THE SURFACE designed to be pulled by Sea Kings, a feat only possible thanks to the Royalty having the Superweapon class ability to command Sea Kings. Superweapons tied to the Void Century to the point that knowledge of their existence is enough for the WG to come and kill you. Joy Boy, the one who had something to do with the Poneglyphs, was the one who promised to help the Fishmen get to the surface.

Looks like they knew that the world was going to get flooded, but they were preparing to retake the surface once the true bad guys were taken care of. Shaping up that Joy Boy was one of the carries of the Will of D, perhaps the first one, who led the fight against the Tenryuubito and their masters to try and save the planet from their insane plans.

>>858844

Is every pre-existing character already numbered? If so it would be a simple matter of looking up the number of tge character you're theororizing, and if it already exists it's not them.

>>859725

Sounds like a evangelion-style case of Japs adding stuff the think sounds cool without much more meaning behind it

>>859729

There's also the fact that there's some giant hat, potentially related to "D" in an icy tomb looking place.

See, the typical depiction of hell is still somewhat accurate, but only for the outer layers. The inner layers of hell? They get colder.

And who's in the center of it all, frozen in ice?

The devil himself.

And there's even another example. The King's name.

>Imu

>Im

>I'm

>I am

And "I am" is one of the names, the god of the old testament gives himself, when addressing Moses.

>>860415

Not only that, but look at the most famous living holders of the will of D.

Luffy, who is a master of conqueror’s haki and is leading a Conquest across the Grand Line

Teach, who has declared War on the entire world

Dragon, who’s revolution is both a Pestilence and a Famine upon the world government

Law, who is known as the surgeon of Death.

>>859729

>>860415

>Looks like they knew that the world was going to get flooded

>related to "D" in an icy tomb

Combine this with with this

>>851172

>who led the fight against the Tenryuubito and their masters to try and save the planet from their insane plans.

The tenryuubito are a classic "nobility degenerate" theme, their ancestors probably were proper nobles, centuries of indulging themselves coupled to the fact that they also have forgotten why they got their privileges.

The plan back then probably wasn't insane, just a desperate measure in a desperate time.

Nothing we've seen about the 5 elders (who might have been alive back then) is evil. Quite the opposite.

Their direct subordinates are the Marines top brass, so Garp, Sengoku, Akainu, Aokiji, Borsalino, Kong and Fujitora, all of them except Borsalino, have the same theme of "harsh but fair" old men.

We're supposed to hate Akainu because he killed Ace and tried to kill Luffy but in his successive appearances:

-He spared Boney (despite being a pirate).

-He spared Kuzan (despite the duel being supposedly to the death).

-Cesar said that he thought that Akainu would buy his WMD but he partnered with Don Flamingo instead.

-He stated specifically that killing Luffy and Ace was the job and no mercy could be had for them (because they're Ds?) during the battle.

So there is a definitive possibility that he's the most ruthless because he's the one who understand most what the D means.

Because while Luffy is largely harmless, Dragon and Teach are definitively another story.

I mean all we know about Dragon it that he abandoned Luffy and revolutions are never good especially from a nip POV.

Meanwhile Teach is pretty much "evil Luffy".

Also don't forget that Roger and Rayleigh know what the fuck the D means and what the void century is...

You don't see Rayleigh joining up with Dragon against the government while Roger pretty much let himself get killed.

The idea that the government is evil doesn't seem to be the point here, the Tenryuubito that abuses their power definitively are (same as the marines), but it's because they abuse the power they have inherited instead of being virtuous with it.

Another thing to add to the D is the possibility blackbeard ability to eat two is linked to it which would go to the "unlimited power" thing and why flooding the world was the only way to save it.

>>860593

Also the elders agree to talk to Shanks and speak of him as having a "position" and should know better than to interfere with politics... doesn't that mean that the Younko thing is the same as warlords? A necessary evil that the WG allows?

Also Vivi is on the photo Im seem to consider to add to the pile (with the mermaid, blackbeard and luffy) and Vivi should be a Tenryuubito (as her family is part of the 20 "that made the world" but decided to go back down). I'm sure everyone has forgotten but Vivi does seem to have a natural power of hypnosis and uncanny agility/see in the future kind of thing... Yeah that's observation Haki to near Kataturi level + the possibility to use it to brainwash people despite being untrained in it.

>>860415

>And there's even another example. The King's name.

>Imu

>Im

>I'm

>I am

>And "I am" is one of the names, the god of the old testament gives himself, when addressing Moses.

I realized something Im name in jap is 仏 which can mean Buddha but 仏語 (Buddhist term) is what the jap call... drum roll...

French.

>Jack shrugged off being stuck at the bottom of the sea for who knows how long, after getting smashed by an elephant trunk a dozen times bigger than his own ship

>now Luffy provoked him

Guess it's just about time for Luffy to get his shit kicked in again.

>>861085

No way would Luffy lose to Jack, probably Zoro will fight Jack. He's probably the lowest calamity and weaker than Katakuri.

While bounty doesn't mean much Jack has 1 billion bounty from destroying wherever he goes while Luffy beat a Yonkou's second in command with a higher bounty who hangs around in his island eating donuts.

>>861100

>>861101

The study about people who don't think in their inner voice was right, they are among us.

>>860593

That could be true, but they are still the force of dictatorships, so even if they are "fair" they must be destroyed and they are irredemable.

>>861138

Front or back?

>>861085

There was a really weird leak a while back that said Jack was going to fight Jimbei... Underwater. And something about it being against a clock and protracted, I forget. Something about bombs being involved or something.

It sounds like it would be really one sided so I only see three options if it's true.

1. Jack is so strong he eventually overcame the DF weakness and walked back to Wano.

2. Bubble coating. Luffy was able to fight Body Jones that way.

3. Jimbei somehow accidentally a Devil Fruit and they have an underwater cripple fight with both of them struggling to move.

You know what gets my vote.

>>861138

Someone is going to ask Oda where her privates are in an sbs, you just know it.

>>861153

Unless it was the next chapter and we didn't just have a chapter released, I might give your "leak" the benefit of the doubt. But that's not the case and Oda has only hinted at things to come, never leaked a fight or chapter before it's even been drawn.

>>861154

It’s in the front, why else would it be covered?

But then again, Monmusu is confused about that as well.

>>861154

>>861142

>>861162

The monster girl canon is centaur girls have 2 vaginas, and the rear one can adjust it's own size at will

>>861153

4. He just got fished out by a subordinate and shrugged off all damage since he's that stupid strong

>>861166

>local pirate too angry to drown

That's probably it.

>>861204

I am only more excited.

What's the best fansub of One Piece and where can I find it?

>>850215

Humans can do it too, at least I've heard of it happening with twins. Woman has sex with two different men in quick succession and just happens to be ovulating extra hard and gets two fraternal babies with two different fathers.

>>852847

Oda's (and his staff) messed up shit like that a lot though in the past.

>>861705

kaizoku fa oh guess they don't do it anymore. There's a one piece forum called Arlong Park Forums, maybe check and see if there's people recommending anything there to be honest. Outside of a few clips here and there I haven't watched the anime since the Impel Down/Whitebeard War stuff.

>>861705

No amount of quality subbing can safe this literal shitshow. Just read the manga.

>>861705

You could look into the One Pace project. I've been watching them for the most recent episodes and it's alright. Takes a lot of the faff out. Don't know how the other arcs have turned out.

>>862593

>>862626

Did Oda accidentally stumble on here last week while writing the most recent chapter?

>>862593

>>862615

HAPPY HORSEPUSSY A CUTE!

>>862593

>>862615

Huh. I think this is why they were so hellbent on getting control of Tama. If she just made a shitton of dango, and gave them to Luffy, they could more or less take down Kaidou's entire army with her power alone. I hope this becomes relevant at some point.

>>862648

>They're going to defeat the gifters by feeding them all dango

>They'll put them to work under Tama's orders to repair the country

>Tama will end up working alongside the emperor's heir (dragon kid, whatever his name was)

>Final chapter "where are they now?" sequence will show her marrying the heir to become emperor and empress

Calling it now.

>>862656

But Anon, Dragon Kid is a ghost.

>>862626

UNTIL YOU LIKE IT

>>862615

I know you're being retarded on purpose but those are just hind legs. It'd be great if it was a trap but Oda has a clear style when he does does types of characters.

>uma becomes friend

>Law nothing personnels

>Tama tsunderes

Brilliant.

>>862658

So it seems they've declared the emperor's lineage and retainers as deceased. Usurping kingdoms is the number one villain crime of One Piece.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. Does this mean O-Tama's power will work on Kaido...?

>>863414

Not likely. Natural zoan users have a human form and can just use the fruit's power to shapeshift. SMILE zoan users seem permanently stuck as a cross between animal and human which is why it probably works on them. I'm with >>858548 though, so far Kaido's crew seems really weak, and now it's substantially weaker thanks to Otama. So far we haven't had any threat whatsoever, and the SMILE users don't really feel any stronger than regular fodder. I'm curious just how strong Jack really is, but so far we know he would've lost against the Mink leaders and we know he lost against Sengoku when he tried to recover Doffy.

>>863472

I don't think these guys are even Smile users, I think they're just Gifters, people who have had animal parts grafted onto their bodies. Sort of like all the centaurs Law was making.

Momo is a SMILE user and he retains his human form. At least so far all the gifters are fodder with the mild exception of Speed who's only an exception because she's cute.

If Kaido really has built a huge army that primarily consists of fodder that can literally be defeated by Mink children I can understand why he cries so much. I'm curious to see what his powers are and why he chose animals as his theme. Maybe he's some kind of commentary on the Russian military strategy of just throwing raw numbers at any problem? Like he chose Spans specifically because the fruits are so common? Maybe his power is in some way enhanced by the number of underlings he has? He seems much more interested in forcing his enemies to work for him than killing them.

I guess it could be kind of interesting if most of his army was shit but he himself is so insanely powerful it makes up for it.

Also, I definitely think Hawkins is part of the alliance now. He just let Law walk away? Law didn't kill him? Nah, from the way Hawkins was talking and the stress lines on his eyes he definitely wants an alliance.

>>863571

That is Sogeking from the island of Snipers spee d. reader

>>863582

Momo is created from Vegapunk's artificial devilfruit though, and we know Cesar never managed to make his SMILE fruits be as good as Vegapunk's artificial fruit. This is why Momo is more akin to a natural zoan despite not being a natural zoan. I do wonder if a SMILE user can also ingest a natural devil fruit though, because so far SMILE just seems to do more harm than good.

>>863472

Not just Sengoku, Fujitora and Tsuru were there as well.

>>863582

When they introduced them their title was "smile user" Momo had an incomplete smile so his is different.

>>864229

Momo had a failed Vegapunk fake devil fruit. Which is different to Smile, I think.

>>864276

>Luffy going back in time to become emperor of Wano

Fucking unreal twist.

>>864276

Hilarious if true.

>>864412

Wait so Momonuske is Luffy's son?!

>>864418

Actual spoilers.

It’s forwards time travel. Momo and his retainers are all from twenty years in the past.

Next chapter will start delving into it most likely.

>>843165

>she instantly defeated Luffy when he ate her carrots

You autist that was done for comedic effect the same way Nami can one shot all male crew memebers.

Chapter is out:

http://read.powermanga.org/read/one_piece/en/0/919/

>>864482

I never stated that it was time travel to the past, but the mere fact that time traveling into the future is possible is concerning.

Stasis, or even going into hiding for 20 years would have the same effect, but Oda used time travel.

It was foreshadowed (Wano timeline was impossible), but I fear that this is going to create massive unfixable plot holes.

>literally one panel explaining everything

Okay. The chapter could have dedicated it's time better. Feels like filler.

>>864497

The proper explanation was sent 20 chapters into the future.

>>864495

I reckon it’ll be the sacrifice of some Devil Fruit user of the past. Or it’s stated like time travel, but really is some sort of stasis like you’ve suggested.

Now that time travel has been confirmed in One Piece (although only forward travel, so far), will you faggots finally accept that Gol D. Roger is in fact a time traveling Luffy as has been foreshadowed multiple times in multiple ways throughout the story?

>>864521

>>864531

Or maybe it's just one DF capable of tossing people into the future, and not any other way, and it's limited to the one single person that can use and you fags are just jumping to conclusions here.

None of this means the series suddenly is going to turn into a Kingdom Hearts tier clusterfuck with 10 million branching timelines

>>864532

Where in my post did I suggest anything other than forward time travel or the samurai crew being held in stasis and coming from the past that way? Learn to read, fag.

>Kingdom Hearts tier clusterfuck

KH isn't even complex.

It was a joke chapter. Last chapter it showed us the graves and Law was getting serious but the seriousness was just them having diarrhea. More speed is good

>>864532

I didn't claim the time traveling method at the end of One Piece will be the same one as the one in the Wano arc. I was merely implying Oda was setting up yet another element of the ending in which Luffy gets sent back in time and becomes the pirate king.

>branching timelines

I was talking about a stable time loop. Reminder:

<Luffy has an instantly recognizable scar

>Roger's eyes are never shown in the manga

<Luffy cuts his own life span short using Gears and the hormone treatment

>Roger would die of natural causes at a comparatively very young age

>Both hear the voice of all things

>Luffy reminds everyone of Roger

>In Raighleigh's flashback, Roger looks exactly like a slightly older Luffy, and talks about how their meeting is fate after he learns of Raighleigh's name

>>864545

Then how come nobody commented on Luffy's Devil Fruit being the exact same as the god damned pirate king's?

>>864482

>Long ago, in a distant land.

>I, Kaido, the shapeshifting master of Zoans, unleashed an unspeakable evil.

>but, a foolish Samurai warrior, and another samurai warrior, and their friend a ninja, and some kid. Stepped forth to oppose me.

>Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung them into the future. Where my evil is law.

>now the fools seek to return to the Wano country, and undo the future that is Kaido.

>>864574

Likely because he loses it either during the final battle or when reaching Raftel. IIRC, it has never been said that Roger has a Devil Fruit or can't swim, so it's probable he doesn't have one. This is currently the biggest stretch of the theory, but the exact mechanics of the Devil Fruits haven't been expanded upon, like all of Blackbeard's DF fuckery.

>>864599

I'm honestly wondering how Oda is going to make the reader empathize with the border-openers.

>>864610

Never in the manga, faggot.

>Luffy is Ace's dad

yup

>Garp executes his own grandson

before knowing he has a grandson

>and didn't recognize him at any later point

In what way do you think Garp would acknowledge that Luffy reminds him of Roger? Especially seeing how Luffy's quest is to become the pirate king like Roger, and pointing out similarities would only encourage Luffy.

>that Luffy would abandon all of his Nakama to form a new crew in the past

Three explanations come to mind:

<Luffy doesn't have a choice

<It's a self-sacrifice

<Luffy can't become the pirate king in the present any more, and travels to the past to fulfill his life's dream

Keep in mind that adventure has always been an important motive for Luffy's actions.

>>864631

Your theory fucking sucks, and you should feel bad. If Luffy is literally Ace's dad, I am dropping the shit out of this manga forever. Doubly so because Oda is literally about to fall into Marxist trappings by saying that isolationism is 'evil'.

>>864599

Snake girl is cute. Oda is really laying it on thick with the political correctness, though.It makes me really sad because there's not even a hint of trying to suppress it.

>>864622

He's been trying very aggressively to make Kaido's crew into moustache-twirling levels of evil, and he'll likely do the same with Orochi.

>>864633

>He's been trying very aggressively to make Kaido's crew into moustache-twirling levels of evil, and he'll likely do the same with Orochi.

What's his endgame? Is it all keikaku doori?

>>864638

That's extremely interesting, but why is Oda implying that isolationism is evil?

>>864644

>Sure you jest.

Kill yourself, you retarded SA goon. No, the time travel in KH could be explained in one paragraph, you just love to suck the teat of normalcy.

>Haha anime is weird and gay.

No, we've moved past this you retarded fucking commies.

>>864645

>SA goon

Literally what? KH is shit, and no amount of bullshit explanations will ever make its lore not shit.

>>864647

/a/ has become a sad commie shell of its former self.

>>864649

>>864647

What the hell are you even going on about?

>>864649

>Literally what? KH is shit, and no amount of bullshit explanations will ever make its lore not shit.

t. absolute fucking brainlet

>>864651

Why are you so easily offended?

>>864652

The time travel in KH is stupid but far from complex or confusing despite what others here have said. KH comes off as a stupid clusterfuck only in terms of writing. But the lore is stupidly simplistic and easy to follow.

JoJo sucks

>>864653

>The time travel in KH is stupid but far from complex or confusing despite what others here have said.

Ok yeah. It's only fucking retarded normalfags who drool on their bibs when it comes to Disney's first time travel.

>>864622

Reddit and Halfchanfags are eating this shit up and loving it like the redditors they are. So I don't doubt the modern day readers will absolutely love the concept since all they ever do is talk about politics, fedoras and posting shitty yaoi art of Katakuri and Luffy.

>>864650

I don't remember this one.

>>864650

>>864656

>So I don't doubt the modern day readers will absolutely love the concept since all they ever do is talk about politics, fedoras and posting shitty yaoi art of Katakuri and Luffy.

The fanbase in many parts has really devolved in recent times as OP's popularity drastically grew in the west after Naruto's end, so this comes as no surprise. The shippers now plaguing the fandom are the same fucks who wouldn't shut up about shippings like NaruSaku and NaruSasu for years. Now they're shitting up things in as many boards as they can.

I really just hope Japan is going to be fine. I've already read about how places like Kabukicho is full of black thugs trying to get people to buy their stuff. I just don't want them to lose their way of life. It's bad enough that they're being pressured to be more diverse from outside, now the most popular manga is doing it too.

>>864666

Are you mentally ill? What part of his shitty post was even wrong or remotely communistic? It's nothing but shippingfags on almost every corner of the internet, you autistic sperg.

>>864666

>>864669

What fucking part of my post implies I support shipping faggotry? I said "if only" as in a minority of cat ladies shitposting their pathetic fantasy is preferable to thousands of literal faggots who won't shut up about how progressive it would be for Luffy to fuck Katakuri you faggot. That's the hell we're living in right now. There is no escape from shipping faggotry.

Holy shit this is /co/ levels of terrible pointless arguments how the fuck did it get this bad in a day.

>see a big bump in replies

>come in excited about discussion about the chapter

>find a load of spastic bullshit instead

Where's the meido? Please just nuke this thread and let's start it over. It's over bump limit anyways.

>>864599

Oda better not cuck the fuck out.

>>864905

>>864599

>>864633

>>864622

It's meant to be a parallel to Japan's isolation period where America sailed in and told them to open the borders. I think. I don't think Oda is going pro-refugee or globalist at all here and people seeing that and gushing over that are fools. Wano has no refugees, it just has a population that's stagnating culturally and technologically under a tyrannical ruler. Wano is being left behind and its people are suffering for it.

>people bitching about time travel in a series where the noro noro no mi exists

It's just the awakened form.

>>864985

God damn if that turns out to be connected.

>>864985

How would particles that slow you down make you go forward in time?

>>865098

They could slow you down for twenty years and keep you effectively frozen in time. Provided you were put somewhere safe.

>>865101

I know we're just joking, but it couldn't have been that fruit because Foxy as far as we know has never been to Wano, and if someone else had the fruit before him that would mean they died which is generally a condition that ends devil fruit effects. I hope it's something more creative than a plot device no no.

>>865153

If its actual time travel then the fact that it exists will break the entire series. Oda is smarter then that so it could just be stasis
