One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Vander Decken had a DF and was still a hammer so that theory is out the window.

Ugh… I wanted anyone, anyone else other than Jimbei to be the next recruited member.

I don’t see any chemistry with him and the crew at all.

So I guess now we’ll have to refer to the Big 3 as the Big 4. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s equally strong as Luffy right now.

The D clan have the ability to hear all voices. This all relates to the 100 years of lost history, I’m sure.

Its the whole “Will of D” thing thats faded into the background as Moses failed in “Letting his PEOPLE GOOOOOOOO”

I’m actually quite surprised that Jinbei was asked to join the crew. While I was somewhat expecting that the next crew member would be either a fish- or mer-person, and I knew that Jinbei would make a great addition to their fighting power, I always thought that he wouldn’t join. Why? In my opinion, his personality is way too serious, whereas all of the strawhats, including Robin, have some sort of quirk that adds comedy to the group. With that said, I’ve learned long ago that I can never really predict what is going to happen in this manga, so I’m not surprised that I’m surprised.

As for Luffy hearing the voice of all things, I agree with what others have said that it is related to the “Will of D”.

everyone whining that jinbe joining…you faulter from the house of oda? blasphemy!

You know our boy VS is just phoning it in at this point. He used to be a contender. Now he is just Donavon McNabb.

I wonder who the Sea Kings are going to get to fix Noah?

He didn’t say yes yet guys.

Honestly I’m more curious about why the mermaids were returned and treasure stolen.

Luffy usually gets what he wants, and the poignant moment of giving blood would kind of be sullied if he didn’t join. I’m in the camp that doesn’t want him to join, but story-fate calls for it. Guess we just have to wait a week to find out!

I guess Jinbe’s ‘place’ on the Sunny will be the aquarium? XD

hes gonna join because he has no home now, their gonna pull up that old law as a plot device. hes about to be ousted from unda da sea. sebastian the crab is gonna come out and be all we must respect our old customs and laws.

I wonder about that myself.

The only thing I could think, is that his swamp body actually has some sort of limit to it, and he took the treasure. But from what we’ve seen of Caribou, I can’t help but think he would have “done” something to the mermaids. Besides with the strange memory loss and the casket mentioned, I wonder if there wasn’t someone else involved.

Also Shirley’s prediction about Luffy. That still has come even close to coming true, which makes me wonder if we aren’t going to see Fishman island’s visit extended for a bit.

Omg I completely forgot bout Van Der Decken…oops my bad, that theory is out the window.

As for jinbei…I guess its cool to have another 400+ mil bounty on the ship. To me it looks like hes killin the mojo of the ship by breaking apart the big 3. Its like having Wade/Lebron/bosh and here comes carmelo for no reason. If he does join, big ups to how overpowered Luffy’s crew is lol.

All this epicness and were still not even in the New World. OP is so amazing, keep it coming Oda.

That’s what I’m thinking. I mean sure we have Brokenbeard, 2 or 3 Supernovas, and Akainu probably raping the seas, but what sort of challenge are “high-level” New World jobbers going to present to our robust crew? The scale of these NW confrontations might end up being DBZ~esque, esp. since these 'roided Fishmen didn’t even make the Mugiwaras break a sweat.

Deja Vu moment I can’t believe that I didn’t recognize the epic parallels between when Mihawk first appeared cutting through Don Krieg’s fleet nonchalantly and when Zoro sliced the coated galleon in two on Shabondy.

I think we are missing one big bonus of having Jinbei on deck. WG is going to be maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad. As if everything the crew’s done up until now hasn’t made them public enemy number 1, adding a former Warlord and 400+mil bounty is going to increase the threat greatly.

I predict another large scale battle like the “War of the Best” towards the end of the series with the Straw Hats taking on the WG like Whitebeard did, but with MORE allies. You can pretty much count the remains of WB’s crew in on that fight, The Kuja Pirates, Dragon and his army, a handful of Fishmen, probably Shank’s crew, maybe Buggy or Croc again. Good time to set up the fights we KNOW are going down eventually like Luffy vs Akainu and Zoro vs Mihawk.

Don’t forget Admiral Coby vs Luffy and Blackbeard vs Luffy.

Luffy’s stock must go up as captain with Jimbei on board, any takers as to how high New World Luffy’s bounty is going to be? I think 600 million is a good start. The World Government probably wants Strawhat erased from this world ASAP, esp. since they probably thought he was dead for the past 2 years.

Lol I totally forgot about Admiral Coby. Yeah I can see him getting another bounty jump once they find out about Jinbei. WG is probably considering dropping super platinum diamond buster calls on the next island he pops up at.

Bounty poster probably reads $600mil+handjobs after this arc.

I would expect them to raise his bounty higher with association with jinbei. Captains bounty should always be higher. 600 maybe ove the top, but what the hell im settled with 550-600mil.

It be cool if they enter the new world and actually find a “Sniper Island” and we see Luffy/Chopper spazz out and Manssopp be like O.O’’

Wonder if Elbaf (Giant’s Island) is in the new world ? …. Spelled backwards “Fable” … hmmmm

I like how in chapter 594 they mention the first half of grandline is paradise but it was actually mentioned way earlier as a side comment

Was anyone else totally surprised when Jinbei gave Luffy blood?

God I almost flipped over my computer after that happened. God I also wonder if Luffy and his new crew will get caught by the World Government anytime soon. I mean now that Jinbei is with them they are going to be after them EVERY issue!

Really liked this chapter, and I’m super jealous of Chopper being on Robin’s lap.
