One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Was Strong World the one with Shiki?
That ain’t canon.

Pretty sure Oda said strong world was canon.

No, I swear he said Shiki would’ve raped pre-time skip Luffy and that it wasn’t canon.

Yes, it is. lol

I’d say it was as canon as any anime filler (heck it provided a short anime filler arc as a prelude). Not to mention, what with Episode 0 being out there and considered canon, it has to fit at least into the bizarre timeline of the anime series. Film Z is a different story other then showing off Aokiji’s current status because it is difficult to fit anywhere but we will see.

Also both Shiki and Z were protrayed as pretty broken older dudes that lost their luster via broken or warped dreams during the final fights so I wouldn’t put them on brand new admiral level. Also Kizaru is lazy as fuck, I’m surprised the new Fleet Admiral can stand that fool enough not to demote him.

Strong World wasn’t canon in the sense that it doesn’t fit in with the actual story… what is canon about Strong World is the fact that Oda wrote it and Golden Lion Shiki was a real character in the manga storyline.

I really wish Shuraiya was a canon character though. Such a waste of a cool bounty hunter. =/

The Z movie would have an odd place in the canon… If anything, it’d have to be right inbetween the Anime filler where they fight against part of the Neo-Navy and the Punk Hazard arc, otherwise it’s going to be way way into the future from the current point. Unless of course they run around without Law for a while after the Dressrosa arc.

Lookin good white shadow.
Luffy’s been exposed. Cant wait for the next manga.
really just a reason to bump so i won’t have to look for the thread tomorrow

I should probably start watching this along with Bleach.

An anime fanatiq I know said it’s better than Naruto, but then again I don’t think that was hard to accomplish anyway.

No comments on the chapter?

Slow morning shrug
I’m guessing Bart is a fruit user force field fruit or something. Thought I think haki still plays a part in it - a force field would act like a bubble (assumption alert) so getting snuffed that hard would still move him. But I admit that’s an assumption…

  • :bluu:

That fishguy’s hand looks pretty mangled. Almost like it wasn’t just blocked, but chewed on.

His “cannibal” schtick might be his fruit “eating” anyone who gets close. Cloud of nanomachine-type things surrounding his body, that kinda thing.

That, or a forcefield that pushes back.

Mangapanda translation is insanely bad this week.

It’s either a shield or Haki, that poor fish man broke his arm hitting him.

Also the Mangastream superior version is out.

Ok, let’s see:

-Holy crap, Don’s headbutt attacks are pretty damn dangerous! Imagine how strong he must have been in his hayday.

-The block b fights are awesome as always!

-lol @ Barto taking a piss in front of everyone! What a rude asshole. XD

Overall, this chapter was splendid. :slight_smile:

All this powerlevel teasing, Oda is really trying to make us look forward to ALL the matches

Also the Prince ain’t a jobber AND has a legendary sword? Zoro bait.

Yeah I’m surprised that Cavendish ain’t a bitch (heh)… and possesses a legendary sword.

When old dude went all Jinpachi I knew the fight had to be stopped midway, shit was getting way too serious. Damn man, I really want to see how strong Young Garp was back in the day.

Bartolomew has to be a user, if anything it look like Hack’s attack was reversed on him rather than it simply being a forcefield. A forcefield would’ve shown some kind of impact effect even if invisible.

Sounds like a job for a Rubberman w/ Haki!

I want to see more of the Gladiator dude.

Pretty good chapter.

That old dude is a beast, but it also reminds me how strong Garp is to make this guy a jobber.

Aye, and I wonder what inflation is like in OP…is 500 mill…still 500 mill…or is it really 100 mill or is it 1 bill.

I feel a little way about the power levels, I was actually hoping for Lucy to steamroll. It looks like he’s going to have to ring out a bunch of these dudes…

  • :bluu:

Young Garp was clearly a monster, and he doesn’t even have a DF. That’s what’s great about OP: non-DF users aren’t outmatched.
