One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Okay we can move on to a more interesting arc now.

That ending was kinda anti-climatic…

the whole arc has been anti-climatic. Not bad at all - just, it wasn’t a real test for the SH.

  • :bluu:

But…but…Luffy will need someone to donate him blood?

WILL NEW WORLD HAPPEN? WILL THE FISHMEN JUST SAY NO?

This will be so hardcore when they say no.

Nah, Luffy is going to have 50 mermaids (just to crush Sanji’s spirit for a later power up), Shiraihoshi’s giant tail and the entire Neptune army willing to give blood at this point.

If New World happens, it will be when Big Ma steps onto the scene, maybe Luffy burns the candy factory or one of the surviving Neo Fishman pirates does it in revenge, who knows.

Surprised not so much at the sea king appearance but old girl pulling a straight Aquaman and conversing with them. I was thinking her shit was just a uber form of fishman haki, but apparently there is more to it and I expect we will learn more about Joyboy and the true purpose of Noah in the next few chapters.

That was really short =s

ugh, i just wanna know WTF caribou is upto.

Joyboy sounds like a nickname of a nickname of an actual person.

I was surprised to see Mugiwara that injured, a Hodi reappearance next chapter would really bring back some drama.

Totally. Then he will be in the morgue with Hodi and Catfish and the rest of the fishman pirates crew.

One Piece is SO hardcore now. NEW WORLD! UNPREDICTABLE ADVENTURES!

I love how when everyone’s talking about how everyone else has grown stronger, all Brook does is to ask Nami to wear a miniskirt.

Oh Brook, dirtly old gentleman in life and death.

im ready for the new arc already…this one was meh-ish for me and often times i felt it dragged.

thats how i feel…if anything this arc has just been here to show how they improved over year with new moves. although story wise…i felt it was lacking something. maybe cause the last previous arc we been spoiled with the SH in life and death situations. now that they’re back its back to the feeling of skypeia and davy back. (tho i liked skypeia) so the pacing is throwing me off case oda isn’t throwing crap at me lol.

This. Totally forgot about that guy.

It’s obvious that Oda has something planned for him. Wouldn’t be surprised if he came out and ended up being important in the next story arc.

Caribou is the final Straw Hat member.

That would be surprising if that were true. I didn’t think a blood crazy psychopathic killer would fit into the SH crew. My guess is that he’ll be a Buggy type character.

It’s obvious that Oda wants us to forget about Caribou because he ties in with whatever happens after this whole debacle has ended. I’m more concerned with what Hodi might be scheming, since he basically and insane homocidal lunatic with suicidal tendencies.

W.U.S.H.?

I forget, Caribou was last seen kidnapping mermaids right? I’m guessing that Caribou’s actions will be a part of the next arc.

I know some cats are eager to see the New World, but Oda’s really built up Fishman Island (it’s been the desired destination for the Strawhats since they left Water 7 if I recall correctly), so I’m personally hoping that they aren’t leaving Fishman Island yet.

The consequences of what has occurred on Fishman Island are huge. There is a lot of potential surprises in the downtime period and after they leave. The World Government will definitely have their issues to sort through.

I also feel there might be a “Joyboy” flashback of some kind. Storytime with Papa Neptune!:pleased:

Well what is caribou going to do anyway. His ship is destroyed, kill should honestly be dead (drowning, pressures of the deep waters and probably eatten as they’re floating up to the surface). Strawhats are going to the next destination (following the logpost). He’s pretty much stuck at fishman island until some other pirates come by and pick him up. Unless he hitches a ride with the strawhats to their next island. But theres no garuntee that the island that they stop by next will buy his mermaids that he kidnapped. Meanwhile its virtually a garunteed sale at SA.

I doubt it, but it’d be funny if Caribou gets beaten up by the mermaids while trying to kidnap them (mermaid rush ftw).

Speaking of crewmembers, I’ve been trying to think about what the final crewmember (if there really is one) would bring to the crew. God knows what other skills the Strawhats managed to obtain during the 2 years that may or may not pertain to battle. I was thinking maybe they’d downplay Usopp/Franky’s inventions and go with an ‘inventor’ full time (like Vegapunk ;D). I thought maybe they’d get someone who’d like to chronicle their adventure, adding to the fact that he has a Logia ability (maybe ink? ;D) I kinda hope they don’t add Jimbei because as badass as he is, he doesn’t really add anything (except more muscle).
