One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Wait which one is the one where you can play as any of the SH and beat the crap out of hundreds of people at once? When does that drop?

  • :bluu:
    EDIT - ahh fuddy dutty…its a dowwnload only (I have a mifi with a 10 gig limit) :sad:

That’s it. One Piece Pirate Warriors. If you can’t get the download you can always import the Japanese version (I see it going for $80-90 though). It still has English subtitles.

At that price I might as well download and pay the 5 dollar a gig tax hahaha

Lol pretty much. Or take your PS3 to a friends place and leech some wireless for a bit.

Well the Asia ver. is going for $60 on Play-asia-

Just an FYI, the game does play like Musou titles but [spoiler=]it has QTEs =.=[/spoiler]

Ohhhhhh shit, time for some more running away!

They’re really playing on the fire-and-ice thing going on.

[details=Spoiler]I guess the dragon was more an “introduce Momonosuke’s dragon status” kinda thing than a proper opponent.

As for Chopper, could be he’s being attacked by drug-starved kids for once more trying to wean’em off of it. Otherwise, someone could’ve found a way to push his berserk button again, or going into monster form repeatedly lessens his control.

And I guess Vergo left Law’s heart somewhere else? Otherwise he would’ve squashed it already. Unless they’re going to make a joke out of the fact that he forgot he had it. I could see that happening.[/details]

Donflamingo is so pimp, even his transponder snail is pimp.

Real shit how many 10 year olds could you take before getting overran

omg Chopper actually did something in this chapter.

The ninjitsu comment and the jokes that followed were funny, I wonder if they were meant to be subliminal shots at a certain ninja manga or if it just unattached jokes.

IF they are healthy, only half way intelligent and I’m not trying to hurt them seriously, I could take down 3. After that it is a crap shoot, kids to paraphrase from the movie ‘Attack the Block’ are like small gorilla wolf motherfuckers, they surprise you and once they got you on the floor its all over.

New Chap

[details=Spoiler] Doflamingo pimping while mentally breaking a chick that is trying to kill him. I know Blackbeard is the odds on favorite to be the last big bad of the series, but Doflamingo as the makings of it as well besides not being such a direct counterpart to Luffy’s and crew.

Sanji got saved by them announcing Law was trying to break into the “SAD” room and Vergo running off toward there. Which bears the question, WTF is “SAD” and why does Doflamingo get in trouble if someone besides CC produces it or learns how? Could it be Doflamingo is not a DF user but gets abilites from “SAD” or it is a DF counter agent of some kind. Could also be mind control drug but we probably won’t find out until later.

At least two more opponents might be heading down to Punk Hazard, so it looks like this arc still has ways to go. [/details]

The Naruto reference jokes were out of left field haha :rofl:

What the hell? SAD reminds me of Akira.

the SAD stuff is probably the steroid candy shit that Hodi Jones was on. Joker is probably the kingpin of drug traffic and would lose a lot of money if they no longer had the blue meth.

Based Oda.

That was an ancient treasure that also makes you age really fast, though. Not something anyone could feasibly mess up the whole New World with, considering how easily a bunch of New World newcomers (though exceptional ones) took out Hodi and crew.

(Late to saying this, but yeah, Monet gets more and more interesting, especially since now that Doflamingo seems to sending people there to clean up.)

Damn, another break and more “running around” from the most primary characters on both sides, but still quite a few things happened this chapter:

Chapter 682

[details=Spoiler]1. So Momonosuke seems like he has the Mythic Zoan: Dragon Fruit. That’s…quite surprising, especially since I was expecting Kaidou or at least a direct, willing opponent to have it; I still expect Kaidou to have it though, given that I expect there’s at least two different models. Given Kinemon’s…interesting view of things, he probably thinks a dragon “cursed” his son, which is why he hates them and wants revenge on them. This kinda makes me think even more that he actually has a (mythic?) Tanuki zoan rather than mere clothing-creating abilities, which I still feel would be more useful than it probably seems to most people even if he only actually has that; I wonder if (and how) Kinemon’s tanuki balls would get censored if Oda has him transform though…

  1. Doflamingo’s base of operations is finally revealed as is the fact that he at least seems to have something like a more formal “crew” or, at least, direct & seemingly quite strong subordinates rather than a remote network of relative weaklings he’s over like with Bellamy and his crew. I can’t help but read “rape” implications into Baby 5’s protests though, especially given she’s dressed like a maid and Doflamingo wasn’t breaking a sweat over being attacked by her and his general puppet-control powers.

  2. Doflamingo might actually have “cared” about Law in as much as he can actually care about anyone. That’s rather…interesting considering I don’t think we’ve seen him say nothing remotely affectionate, even in jest, to his other subordinates. What’s the closest we’ve gotten before? Him “hitting” on Crocodile to come over to his side during the war?

  3. SAD is probably a really fucked up bioweapon if they’re both so worried about it getting out and only Caesar can make it. That’s probably one of the real reasons Law wants Luffy to “kidnap” Caesar, especially since he didn’t really care about the kids to begin with.

Know we just need to find out the hell happened to Law’s crew and what Monet’s “deal” is and basically every question this arc has raised thus far will be “answered”.[/details]

I, for one, support Chopper going Monster Point–wait, does that form actually have a formal name?–on the children. Children are horrible.

Nah, as was already pointed out, those drugs were manufactured from the Royal Treasure that ages people and they’re quite clearly meant to be ingest without noticeable (immediate) side-effects. So, while it’s possible that Doflamingo has his hands in that, given that he seems to be king of the general underworld–with him having a slave auction house on Shabondy–and all, it makes no sense for them be held in a container that has a biohazard symbol on it; Hodi and his now ancient crew are already screwed without being retroactively fatally poisoned. That and Doflamingo would just say they’re energy steroids rather than leaving us in the dark with SAD.

It’s probably some screwed up back-up plan that’s even stronger than Caesar’s current “Shi-no-kuni” gas. Probably something (experimentally) radioactive, meaning you wouldn’t want to ingest it like the steroids unless you want to die horribly…or are using it for flavoring if you’re Magellan (or Kizaru).

Lots of stuff happened in this chapter, I’m very impressed!

Well, now we know why the dragon suddenly went berserk, it needs more “candy.” It also further cements Caesar Clown as the monster he truly is, considering the little tidbit about Momonosuke at the end.

Doflamingo’s crew looks very interesting, all kinds of weirdos there. The chick who can apparently form weapons from her body parts (Baby 5, I believe) is quite intriguing, I wonder what happened that caused her to become an obviously unwilling member of that bunch? Speaking of which, it’s funny and scary how he holds a conversation with Vergo while he avoids all those deadly attacks as if he’s brushing off mosquitoes.

EDIT Also, Sanji was smart enough to back down and get Tashigi to safety. With his injuries, he wouldn’t have much luck. On the bright side, we might just see Smoker fight Vergo after all.

I’m pretty sure the SAD is something entirely new, I doubt the Energy 'roids will come into play again anytime soon, if ever.

great chapter!!! Doflamingo has to much swag

Donquixote Doflamingo, dude looks like he already found One Piece decades ago. Living the high life like a motha!

One thing that already impresses me is how resourceful, smart, and carefree he is all at the same time. His intimate knowledge of the innerworkings of the world and of Haki makes him a terrifying opponent for Luffy, and especially his crew!

Bear in mind, Dofla hasn’t jobbed or got sonned once in the series (used to have the highest bounty as well), not even in the war. His Observation Haki is so effortless it looks like a true precognitive ability. His “DF” ability also seems to be unmatched so far, I’m guess Baby 5 is a reluctant member of his crew under his puppetry, and probably the some of the rest of his “entourage”.

Doflamingo is shaping up to be the Freiza of the series. An absolute monster who spent decades amassing strong “children” while destroying and profiting along the way.

I like how casually Vergo used Geppou, he’s very standard with his 6 forms though…

Momonosuke is a “beast”. I think Caesar’s plan was to maybe turn him into one of those “Awakened” Zoans? I guess the mythical Eastern Dragon will belong to another important dude… I hope.

SAD might be some kind of reality manipulator or luck based weapon, probably mimicking some the DFs effects?

Last but not least:

Firefox: “The escort can use ninja techniques too!”

Robin: “…”

So this One Piece Pirate Warriors drops tomorrow. Gonna start the download in the morning and let it run while I head to work. I have no PSN friends since I mainly use XBL :frowning: does this game have multiplayer that we know of?

If it does add me: Redbeard Senchou. There may or may not be a space in there.
