One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

Sabo took lessons from Haggar.

The Strawhat’s (In particular Zoro, Robin, Franky, Luffy, and GOD USOPP) bounties are going to go into orbit after this arc.

GOD USOPP won’t be able to go anywhere without being mobbed.

Masterful chapter!

This is why I save One Piece as the best for last, and let the weaker 2 wash away from my brain like leftover muck.

Or you could be like me and only read One Piece now… :coffee:

Sabo is so damn cool.

“They cannot hear them… The cries of the fallen that they themselves have inflicted! The ears of those in power listen only when it is convenient!”

Violet’s words was the best part of the chapter for me. Eiichiro “Viva La Revolucion” Oda’s words felt like they were speaking about the undercurrent issues of corruption that exists in all the familiar governments we sadly reside under. ** Power to the People! **:p:

Sadly no scenes of Zoro poppin’ off, which means he might get a good chunk of the fight next week. Since Pica is technically the second-in-command we’re getting a real battle of the “First Mates” so this ish will be the real deal.

TRY HARD ZORO!!!

Oh and that promo art for Luffy v. Doflamingo, I just might make it my wallpaper. Boss stuff right thurr…

You mean HOT right? He did just eat the Mera Mera no Mi… rimshot

I am just now watching Oz, and it got me thinking about impel down a bit.

Did prisoners rape eachother? Did they kill wiithout a second thought? Were their new pirate crews for the lifers in there. Since arlong is all locked up did he start Aryan Fishmanhood in Impel?

i think sabo can’t handle that marine guys, especially the admiral. with his new power. maybe he’s not compatible with it.

not that sabo isn’t compatible with it. But its a new power. It’ll take him a while to learn how to control it. We saw the trouble that Luffy had in his flashback learning how to control his powers. Recently we saw Tashigi having trouble controlling Smokers ability when she was in his body. So depending on how fast he learns how to control his ability he may be in trouble. Though only the Admiral and Vice Admiral would have the haki to pose any problem to him.

Sabo was shown to be a beast even before he had the fruit. Plus he really doesn’t need a win here- just needs to stall.

tashagi was also a competent fighter when she took over smokers body and it still had unintended movement problems. Not saying that Sabo is gonna die or anything but expect some unexpected things going on in his fight. Kaku with the giraffe zoan also had a few problems when he first got the fruit.

Ok, I read the latest chapter twice just to be thorough and here are my thoughts:

  1. As usual, I find it very entertaining to see Luffy and the gladiators just plowing through the fodder like there nothing.

  2. Just seeing Robin discarding or “de-blooming” (if that’s the right word for it) the hana hana-grid ladder in order to drop those enemies was hilarious.

  3. I find Viola’s speech to King Riku quite touching.

  4. Franky vs Senior Pink Round 2 I’m guessing. This should be interesting.

  5. That ending with Sabo standing against Fujitora and the marines is so full of win!!

And that’s about it. A pretty good chapter imo.

This arc is godlike.

The battle was kind of disappointing. Definite cell game rip off and a lot of recycled animation. I have definitely noticed the latter a lot in this latest arc. Reminds me of those old hanna barbara cartoons. lol

Yeah, can’t blow all the budget on this one fight when there is much more down the road. Also yeah there was some clear cut DBZ cuts with how they were zipping around, hopefully next time “Lucy” takes the field there won’t be as many, I really want to see more of how that boy played around with Burgess.

One thing that does bug me since Luffy performed the Thor Elephant Gun in the manga and really since the movie Strong World… was that boy channeling the element of electricity via haki, like we’ve seen him do with that Red Hawk move of his and Sanji and Zoro do with fire all the time?

At times I really wished the anime took breaks like other anime so they wouldn’t have to rush the animation. It’s hard to create consistent quality when you’re gunning to be 6-8 weeks behind One Piece on a regular basis.

There’s a One Piece themed restaurant that just opened up here in Hawaii called Sanji Ramen:

That’s not necessarily One Piece-themed. Sanji is Japanese for “3 o’clock” and I just found out that is snack time in Japan.

The drawing is cool, though.
