One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

http://www1.watchop.com/

So, I just released a new combo video.

There is a One Piece related secret in this video. No one has been able to find it so far. I leave it to you gentlemen to try your hand. A hint is in the video itself. It’s not an easy hint, but it’s there nonetheless.

Good luck to those that try.

I got the meanest trojan from that site last year somewhere in the 400s.

Thanks a bus load.

SHAMELESS PLUG. I couldn’t find it, I want a refund.

It’s kinda obvious =/

Search again :mad:

[details=Spoiler] Is it Mokujin with the Brook customization or am I just off :rofl: [details=Spoiler]

Nope

Spoiler

That’s not a Brook customization :rofl:

nice to see Smoker keeping up with Vergo at least for now

yeah chap is up for those who don’t know.

I’m slow ot hte party in just realizing that color of armament actually adds ā€˜color’ to haki embued attacks.

I agree with @Thinobuns too…its nice to see Smoker layeth the smacketh downeth upon thee Vergo…

New chapter up! A pretty fun one. Interesting to see Caesar’s motivations… He’s like 90 percent profit-hungry egomaniac scientist and 10 percent the-ends-justify-the-means guy with vague world-peace goals (but moreso for profit).

Prediction time!

[details=Spoiler]Luffy just met Kinemon’s kid in dragon form. Kinemon’s kid was in the ā€œsecret roomā€ before winding up in the trash room. Ergo: Kinemon’s kid knows the way up to the secret room where Caesar is right now. Also his army, but they’re going to be cannon fodder while Caesar tries (and likely fails this time) to get away again.

The Biscuit Room doesn’t seem to be closed off to the rest of the area, so the kids and main bulk of the SHs are going to be running from the gas cloud soon too. By that point the ice bird lady is probably beaten, unless she’s just trying to keep the SH crew snowed in and distracted while she runs. I’m guessing beaten, since we seem to be getting to the end fights in this arc (what with Smoker finally showing what he can do versus mister Demon Bamboo).[/details]

The fighting has been good so far in this arc. Imaginative and properly punchy. This is why I enjoy One Piece fights more than a lot of the other shonen fare. I’ve been reading Fairy Tail lately, and while it’s a fun series, and I see why it’s popular, at the same time almost ALL the fights seem to revolve around ā€œAww, you’re beating me down, WHOOPS hang on I’m actually much stronger than you thought and my spell totally and unexpectedly overpowered yours.ā€ Seriously. It’s LITERALLY that a lot of the time. No outsmarting the opponent, just… being stronger than the opponent through the power of friendship or something.

Kinemon’s son is a fruit user IMO, like his daddy. Mystikal Beast zoan…

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. At first I thought he might have been turned into one of the power-dragons the SH crew took down, but considering his looks…

Well, no question now that boy Smoker can throw them Haki attacks as of this chapter.

chapter 684

[details=Spoiler] Can’t believe instead of the Smoker vs Vergo fight, half of this chapter was CC’s flashback. Oda is such a freaking tease these days.

Yeah, Asian dragon got to be Kinemon’s kid but I am still wondering how exactly this arc is going to play out. I feel like Oda is building toward some twists, especially with Sanji left in a particularly bad spot via his wounds and the smoke.

Also will someone please think of the junkie children.

I actually don’t like what Oda is doing. It’s GREAT for a Graphic Novel or a Volume…but its too much going on at once in too many places…even though each chapter is significant in length, the story doesn’t feel like its moving at ALL. They’ve been running from the gas for like 2 months now…its been like 5 minutes in plot time…but he’s going back and fourth so much. Close out someone getting to the room, then cut over and close out, then cut over and close out, etc. It’s no knock on his abilities or even calling it bad, I just don’t like it.

Unfortunately a LOT of manga/anime is like that.

Did smoker grow spikes from his hand when he haki punched Vergo??

Yeah, this is something that One Piece has struggled with whenever they get into an arc lately. I remember having the same complaints about the War of the Best arc, the Fishman Island arc, and more… There’s always a LOT going on at once, and the arcs tend to feel like they’re dragging on a little when you’re reading them week by week, but they read much better once you’ve got them collected.

I might complain about the amount of running-from-gas in this one, but honestly, all the little asides (the Mangastream translation has an intentionally hilarious line about man-crushes this time) keep things interesting. This arc only feels a LITTLE padded.

Nah, that was the fur lining of his coat hardening.

Anyone who could turn their body into odd shapes might be able to do some nasty stuff with Armament Haki, though. Probably not with Smoker, since he’s a gas when he’s not normal-bodied…

Then again, Luffy grabbed the still-gaseous Caesar like the gas was physical without Caesar being forced to revert back to his normal shape. So if someone else using Haki on you can make you physical to them, I could see Armament making gas physical to the opponent. Meaning, Smokie could theoretically make himself into a constantly morphing stab-machine by forming Armament-haki’d spikes with the smoke, if he got enough control for it.

I think it’s time for me to stop reading One Piece.

For a year at the least. This weekly format isn’t doing it for me. I need to read large chunks at once.

secret

[details=Spoiler]No one’s been able to figure it out so here’s the answer:

Click the middle of the screen when you hear ā€œExcellent.ā€

My first uploaded video to youtube… wipes tear[/details]

Thats the thing, by NO means does it feel like its ā€˜padded’ - I dont’ feel its being dragged out on purpose, its merely the way its being told is too much but I’m sure if I had the patience to wait for the arc to finish and then read it - it owuld make ALOT more sense…or if its animated.
