One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Something tells me the strawhats are going to meet members of Big Moms crew during this Adventure or right after it.Its only appropriate at this point.They are about to level one of her territories and could possibly expose her candy factories as drug manufacturing facilities.

I liked this chapter i was shocked that the citzens finally got the courage and guts to say they dont want to live in the darkness and they want to live on the surface.This is gonna be epic now they are gonna have to fight in away to minimize damages to the fishmen and merpeople since shit is about to get hectic.

Posted this pic a long while ago but found it appropriate to post this again … Kubo already planning takeover of one piece

lol @ Magnetic Hail. nice post.

Of course they’re going to meet Lola’s mom. Probably will be bad blood too until they realize who they both are.

Whatever change happens due to Luffy’s destruction of Fishman Island will be for the better. I just wonder where the Poneglyph and Sun Tree fit in all this?

Oh and let’s not get too brash, Hodi wasn’t one-shotted so easily, especially after the upgrade. That was a badass owning though.

Until that bum gets off the ground I’m calling it a one shot lol. He just got reverse OCV’d by Luffy after taking out the Royal Family.

We need to get some of the void century stuff written down

Sun Tree? My memory fails me.

If you would, kind sir…

The Sun Tree (or Eve I think they called it) is the reason why despite being many many leagues under the sea, people can actually see while they are under water where the Fishman island is at.

(Nice to see that Oda seems to be feeling better, though I have to wonder if the bout of sickness sped that up this chapter. A lot happened quite quickly, though maybe that’s just the break talking…)

I’m pretty sure that Hodi isn’t unconscious again. Even Blackbeard had those eyes when Luffy hit him, addition pain weakness of his Logia aside. I’d imagine that being kicked in the chest at like 100+ mph with enough force to fly into and possibly through a building hurts a bit, especially if it’s the same area where someone slashed you hard enough for you lose unconsciousness just a couple of hours later.

Also, yeah, Wellman, that’s just what Chopper’s original form looks like now considering how quickly most animals grow compared to us humans. Although I wonder why he’s in his original form already…

Pretty Sneaky Sis

[details=Spoiler]As horribly naive and insane as it is, I think my respect for Shirahoshi just rose over 9000%. Between keeping such an insane request AND Vander Decken trying to kill her so often to point where she had to stay locked inside a tower, that girl had to be utterly miserable and, yet, sensitivity aside, it doesn’t seem like she ever came close to spilling the secret; having no real idea that Hodi would go this far probably just makes her feel even worse.

Weird how I usually hate such completely naive characters yet Otohime and Shirahoshi have grown on me. I guess that’s just One Piece.

Anyway, I find it hilarious that Nami’s chewing out Luffy for ruining the plan when Neptune was about to be executed. I wonder what they had planned beyond what they already accomplished, especially given how good Nami’s invisibility seems to be now…[/details]

Don’t even joke like that.

Interesting. I need to learn more about the violin in general.

Like white shadow and I were going back forth over a month ago, it’s likely that Big Mom, who is probably Lola’s mother, will show up at the end of this arc and even then I’d personally say there’s a good chance of her not actually meeting the Straw Hats face to face just yet.

Because that is his fastest form and he had to travel from Ryuuga Castle.

(I still have to wonder how huge that Sun Tree has to be. It seems like it might larger than Shabondy.)

Ah, that would make sense even though as much hasn’t been said so far.

I wonder if Brooke managed to get Pappug to help…

I just had 2 epiphanies.

  1. The Sun Tree is named ā€œEveā€ and Franky made the Thousand Sunny out of ā€œAdamā€ tree wood. Hmm…

  2. Pappug’s mysterious past and the fact that he’s a talking starfish (non-Merman/Fishman) is interesting. I wonder if anything more will be revealed about him in this arc?

Read up until 633, this is gonna be one heck of a fight \m/

Jimbei for next nakama ! We saw flashback … his past … his dream for fishman/human to get along (well shared/inspired from queen and the legendary fish dude)… and somewat ā€œpromiseā€ to ace to look after luffy, he can’t stay with the other fishman coz he’s an ex-shichibukai and government after him now and would put other fish people in danger if he stayed … and the final kicker … he looks bad-ass and fits in with the crew in the group shot in final panel of chapter 633

Shirahoshi ā€œI forgiveā€¦ā€ Tag Canceled into Luffy PWNKICK into Cross Assault with the entire Straw Hat crew.

It may not be impossible but there’s been group shots with secondary characters before. So that doesn’t really make it a certainty.

I really hope jimbei doesn’t join he’s the lamest fucking character I’ve ever seen. Sirashoshi was also in the flashback and in the group shot. I’d prefer her 100000x times over jimbei lame fuck ass.

The only problem with Shirahoshi is that she will have to stay with the Sunny all arc long and she would be the female equvialent of a giant Aquaman from the Super Friends.

The Starfish fashion designer has a more legit shot of joining the crew then either Shirarhoshi or Jinbei.

Cool then she can watch the ship.

If I recall Oda said that Usopp would always be the weakest crew member so unless the starfish dude is hiding some amazing ability, his addition wouldn’t make sense.

My vote goes to Jinbei, the dude is a beast and has been shown to be the first post the two-year jump to go be able to go toe to toe with Luffy.

Jinbei is lame? I really don’t feel like going down the list that proves otherwise.

I’m with you on this. So instead of badass Fishman with cool Karate moves who can hold his own with the top 3, we want a useless Mermaid who is going to cry every episode or a starfish that serves NO purpose? LOL no. How is Jinbei lame again? I must have missed some lameness somewhere because I don’t see it.

Jinbei is kinda obvious at this point. Might as well get used to it now.
