One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Damn Oda, try to Hunter X Hunter the next chapter a little less brah.

Weird seeing Bellamy back, I thought Doflo killed him, but I’m probably just remembering wrong, its been ages since I’ve seen the Jaya arc.

@Vicious: Gonna have to run that statement by me, not sure what you’re getting at

Hey I wouldn’t complain if Krilia (whatever) just popped up and started to literally snatch hearts out of dude’s chests…
-:bluu:

HD Man, it was drawn badly. Hunter X Hunter’s author is notorious for drawing chapters horribly and then fixing them in the trades.

Since we are talking about Luffy, I expect him to get to the next round without using his powers only to reveal it there or just before doing something stupid, similar to how he said his name on accident only for people to think he said the wrong thing. It will be hilarious no doubt, although Oda will probably follow it up with taking a week off.

EXACTLY! The whole point of him mentioning Skypeia was to show that he acknowledges Luffy’s belief in dreams. I just hope the Wiper and the guys made it out ok.

Bellamy might actually be using his other appendages as springs (al a Gomu Gomu no), and his mad hopper probably has Gear Second level speed now judging by his buffness. If he acquired Haki then…

I actually think Luffy will be smart about hiding his abilities (even though he will probably have to stop himself pre-ā€œGomuā€), especially when he has Armaments Haki and superhuman standard strength to use. But when a life or death scenario forces him, he will do it… my guess? The semi-finals…

I’m likin’ a lot of these randoms. lol @ the Fishman and the Pyromaniac who want the Mera Mera no Mi.

I seriously hope Bellamy doesn’t present even a small challenge to Luffy. Because that’d mean he’s not ready for Doflamingo in any capacity.

Uhh… Does Luffy really need to use his DF powers like ever besides to give a super hard punch to someones face? He’s made of rubber so I always thought he could take most attacks. At least punches or kicks.

I seriously doubt luffy can handle jesus at this stage in the manga.

I think it would be a good thing. DoFlo is a main mover and shaker in the New World and he’s been doing it for years. I think Luffy even being a challenge to him at this point after just two years of training would diminish DoFlo’s character immensely. I can see Luffy and crew being an annoyance, but to take him down completely this early in the New World? No. DoFlo is too interesting and powerful of a character to be used as a mere stepping stone for the strawhats at this point and time.

I would also like to see Bellamy step up his game. If the Strawhats can level up, why can’t he? Getting one-shotted by some rookie and humiliated and nearly killed by your boss would be a huge motivating wake-up call to do some serious self-improvements. Dude went to skyepia and stole that pillar despite there being some fairly strong people there, so he’s no slouch. I’m not saying he’s on Luffy’s level, but hopefully he puts up a better fight if they should face each other again.

Haha a fishmen with the mera mera fruit
Classy Oda…Classy
-:bluu:

My God Film Z was fucking godlike I need this shit on blu ray

One Piece Z was pretty good. Wasn’t someone here talking about a lack of plant control DF users?

Haha! When I saw that ability again, I thought of this thread and laughed, but we can see another one, considering OPFZ (apparently) isn’t canon and he was a Para-user.

I personally want to see a Logia Plant-user.

Hmm…the current discussion has me wondering if we might be getting a new straw hat member by the end of the arc. Would be pretty cool if it was Rebecca and she won the Mera Mera fruit (provided Luffy doesn’t win it) though her revealed personality doesn’t seem to mesh with the group’s typical clown shoes personality. There’s also the possibility that the revealed Mera Mera fruit is a fake or an engineered fruit from Dr. Vegapunk.

I don’t think it’s engineered - when Doflo was talking to his own men - that he’d have no reason to lie to, he stated what it was, so I FULLY expect it to be the real fruit.
-:bluu:

Seeing how Caesar Clown was only able to make Zoans I doubt this will be the case. (In addition to the other reason you mentioned)

Zoans have a biological basis too, which is probably why CC was able to manipulate a fruit. (Also explains the dragon)

I agree to an extent, especially since I find it hard to believe the currently untouched Doflamingo who shrugged off Aokiji’s Ice Time like it was an annoyance and displayed Haohshoku Haki is going down to anything less than a Gomu Gomu no… DEATHSTAR NUKE SUPERNOVA STORM or some shit, but considering we only have roughly 300 chapters left to go I don’t know how a drawn out re-re-re-confrontation with Doflamingo can happen. I know Luffy can’t possibly win his first run-in with him, Doflamingo will probably torture his crew via puppetry and force him into submission before Luffy can probably pop one off.

Oh and yeah Bellamy is no doubt at a level that’s at least pre-timeskip Luffy at this point. A far cry from…

All my money is on Sorcerer Mummy taking it all. He’s a sorcerer AND a mummy. Totally OP.

If not him, then Fighting Bull.

Come on white shadow, given the current pace, unless Oda throws Dragon+Revolutionaries and 5 of the previously established Supernovas into this arc there ain’t no way Oda can actually wrap this up in 300 chapters or less. My money is on 1200+ short of Oda ascending into heaven where God will commission him to make The New-New Testament aka The Bible: Manga edition.

Hey I’m not saying it doesn’t look unlikely, but I dare not question the word of Goda. I’d rather him go over and make the pacing believable than have a rushjob of Luffy becoming Pirate King with random plot raping level ups.

Dang a non-torrented dl of One Piece Z is a bitch to find. Gaaaaah!!!

Hey white shadow, let’s stay cool ~
