One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

HOLY FKIN’ SHIT!*

^ What I said as soon I was 3 pages into the chapter.

[Spoiler= Really don’t want to risk spoiling this chapter for the folks] Strawhats ‘n’ co. are BOMBIN’ on thesemofos SO HORD! Holy shit Zoro with continuous whirlwind blade shit, SKY WALK and insta-charge Diable Jambe Sanji, Pilates Robin, prime MJ Brook, and Spaceship/Mech Sunny-Go.

Special thanks to real non-steroids/ all skillz Jimbei and Kraken.

“Come on, Luffy. 50,000? You thinned the herd too much.”

BEASTAGE!!!

Great Chapter

Spoiler

Lol I love the dialog. Between Jinbei calling Hodi a scrub and the Zoro quip to Luffy about thinning them out too much. I also found it funny as hell that Luffy was so amazed by Sanji’s geppou when he saw it SO MANY TIMES at Enies Lobby. Shortest term memory ever lol.

That tornado Zoro threw out there could be pretty overpowered too depending on the duration.

Robins new move was badass. I wonder if she can make full body giant clones too? Them legs mmmmm…

Sanji using Geppou was a nice surprise but also very sensible. Gear 2nd was also derived from Luffy watching CP9, so it’s nice to see Sanji learning something from them that’s so fitting his style. Also is it just me or did his attack after it look like he made his own version of Gomu Gomu no Gatling?

Just remember

[details=Spoiler] Don’t underestimate the true brokeness of what lies ahead in the New Worl. Also keep in mind those Supernovas have 2 years of New World experience and toughness. What may look broken now is probably reaching the standard of True NW Pirates.

I can only imagine the brokeness of Yonkou like Kaidou and Big Mam.

Oh yeah and Hodi being called out like the bitch he is by Jimbei was so good. Get called out Hodi!

Sanji figuring Geppou aka Sky Walk was a logical progression, his speed is already incredible, so I’m hoping he will be able to display Lucci’s Kamisori techniques in the near future. It seems the friction from moving at those high speeds automatically charges Diable Jambe for him, or maybe Ivankov taught him a few “tricks”[/details]

:wink:

Straw Hats need nerfs. Bad.

Yeah no doubt about the New World potential. Shanks and Whitebeard were parting the damn sky with a single clash. We saw how scary Whitebeard can be, but nothing yet from Shanks. Big Mam and Kaidou gotta live up to the hype. I’m sure we’ll also see Doflamingo and Mihawk really cut loose soon. Add the Admirals to the equation, and the top tier broken shit we’re seeing now from the Mugiwaras is going to look pretty balanced next to these guys.

We really haven’t seen what the rest of the Supernovas are capable of either, especially after 2 years. At the same time they probably didn’t set aside that whole 2 years for training, so the amount of progression everybody else made in comparison is questionable.

Dem legs.

^_-;

Doflamingo was saved for good reason, he pretty much resents anything pirates who believe in dreams aka One Piece. His power also looks really broken. I think he’s going to be an arc boss.

The central Supernovas are going to be sick, especially Law who’s been waiting for Luffy so that they both can venture into the New World. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kidd is a Shichibukai at this point.

Great analogy for this would be the US 3S scene suddenly having to go up against Kuroda, Rikimaru, Ohnuki, Kokujin, MOV, KSK, et. al.

(Ah, so many “missed” alerts. How annoying.)

I too expected a curbstomp…but dear Poisedon, the mooks are getting wrecked by single techniques by the dozens. I wouldn’t be surprised if the smarter of however many of the 50,000 that’s left now tried to flee…and then Hodi took them out himself since he’s a complete bastard.

Also, it’s amazing how Zoro manages to look more badass with just one eye. Also also, Chopper continues to be ridiculously adorable–I like to imagine the little “roar” comes from him and not the tank.

Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised by this.

For a moment, I thought you said that Kidd might be a Yonkou already, which would be a bit much even without Blackbeard and with his magnetic powers.

A Shichibukai, though. I guess it’s…possible, but I can’t say that I see it being his idea given how violent and ill-tempered he seems. It seems like Killer would have had to talk him into or something, especially since I’m pretty sure the government would be even more suspicious about people plotting against them. It also doesn’t really help that Kidd is really, really violent and perhaps the most “pirate-y” of all the pirates we’ve seen so far, at least when it comes to being a cutthroat.

His name doesn’t really fit the animal naming scheme unless you try to pass of the “Kidd” aspect, which is possible, but seems like a stretch. It doesn’t seem as obvious as Buggy being one now, but there are two other spots open and I can’t really see any of the other Supernovas being one now outside of maybe Basil.

Neither did Blackbeard’s.

Considering how ruthless this new era is supposed to be, they might need more gruff and unrefined pirates like Kidd to maintain order. Who else is more fitting for the job of slaughtering pirate fodder and culling the New World herd, while having immunity to search for One Piece? Kidd-Effin’-Neto!!!

Basil might seem refined but he seems to follow his own path or destiny, being a Shichibukai would probably hinder him.

I always like it when you use words like “adorable”. :shy:

(Damn it. This reminds me that I still need to “catc up”. Maybe tomorrow.)

I’m trying to remember. There were 3 open spots after the whole Blacbeard fight because of Doflamingo trying to kill Moria, right? I mean, between both Jinbei and Blackbeard’s betrayals, only Mihawk, Boa, Doflamingo and Kuma (Prime) were left, right?

But Blackbeard ended up being a traitor, so, if anything, it was arguably Oda giving us a sign.

Oh, I’m not saying that his ruthlessness wouldn’t fit. Just that other aspects of his personality don’t exactly jive and this reputation is (publicly) bloodier than all of the other Shichibukai we know about combined. I can’t exactly see the government using him after Blackbeard’s announcement and the state of Shabondy given that Shichibukai are semi-public figures. Then again, maybe Akainu/Sazakuzi changed things when he took over…that even that seems like the opposite direction considering how absolute his justice is (supposed to be).

That and the whole “fucking over the Tennryuubito” thing.

Ironically, the “need” for ruthlessness is the exact same thing that makes the fact that Buggy is probably a member now even more hilarious.

But from what we’ve seen for him so far, he seems a bit reliant on his fate telling powers. Ironically, I could see him using the Shichibukai position for the same reasons you just said Kidd might, especially if his powers told him that the cahnges were “good”.

Uh…I’m not sure how to interpret this.

Actually, wasn’t Buggy given a letter from the world government. Wouldn’t put it past Oda to make him a Shichibukia, initially just for the lulz.

(I wonder how long it’d take me to read through 500+ chapters…)

And white shadow goes silent all of a sudden, of course. I’m just going to assume this is my bad timing and that he had gone to sleep by time I replied to that.

Yes, that’s where I getting this guess from. It seems like rather common guess too.

The same with Akainu being made the new Commander after Sengoku rather than Aokiji.

Am I the only one who noticed Oda drew Robin to cover her own snatch during her special move…little detail hehe. I’d still smash. If real.

  • :bluu:

I think we all noticed that, just trying not to dwell on it too much and sound like we never seen one lol. But yeah I’d smash too :smiley:

I remember, which is why I think there will be a mix of familiar and new blood in those seats. Blackbeard was a traitor in his time because Blackbeard is basically the “Agent Smith” of One Piece, infiltrate, corrupt, destroy. From my perspective, with him and his hellacious crew of “silver medalists” roaming around possibly being a Yonkou at this point, the World Goverment would’ve probably have grown desperate in these past 2 years.

My only reason for seeing him not at the seat is if he’s seen as one of “intolerables” due to his bloody crimes, he was never at the core of the Tenryuubito incident like Law and Luffy were so that could be thrown under the rug. Remember now, Jimbei bashed quite a few Marine heads back in his day, so anything’s possible.

lol I can see that happening. His footsoldiers being the ones enforcing law while he sips tea inside Marine HQ. His aspiration was to become a Yonkou last time we saw though, but who knows. Marines think he’s the “real deal.”

That’s the reason. If fate carries him one way or the other, it can easily deflect from his position just by one tarot reading. I mean anything is possible though, so we’ll see.

:shy:

lol I usually never think of pervy stuff when it comes to One Piece but it would be funny if the Mugiwaras were falling down a chasm and Robin goes “Mille Fleur GIGANTESQUE MANO… TETAS!!!” making a massive booby shocker absorber to save the crew but instantly kill Sanji. :rofl:

spoilers are out - Chopper looks linda beast…he’s mos def improved/been training.

  • :bluu:
