One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

OHSHI! :wow:

I was wondering when he was going to catch up to Van Auger but damn Ussop with that eagle eye. He unlocked Observation Haki at the perfect moment! I love how Oda completely redeems Mansopp in cool but still Ussopp~y way. KAMI!!! :pray:

It seems Slugboy and Mingo are going to tag team the Alliance. Luffy better put his Haki A-game on max and stop falling for the same BS he did earlier. This is primetime! I wonder why Law has trouble with the lead bullets, other than them being poisonous? (not OP-level deadly though)

Yassop would be proud. :sad:

First time Ussopp fucking sniped this entire Manga and it was great.

Did you forget about the time ussop/sogeking sniped the marines on top of the tower of justice while singing his own theme song?

Only ways this chapter could have been better

Spoiler
  1. If Usopp had broke out that Sogeking mask or Oda did a homage to Spider-Man by having half of Usopp’s face covered by the image as he started to see auras. Although him destroying Sugar mentally again is always good.

  2. The last panel ends on a action shot with Luffy and Law starting the attack immediately on Doflamingo after announcing they were there to beat his ass.

[details=Spoiler]I do wonder how Law didn’t recognize Sugar. Didn’t he hang around the whole Flamingo crew at one point? Guess we’ll find out in the eventual flashback. Maybe she signed on after he got to her.

Actually, that DOES make sense, come to think of it… He would’ve told the Strawhats about the whole toy conspiracy before they landed if he knew what she was capable of.

Also, yes, Oda did remember that Law got a buncha holes in him, turns out.

By the way.

Remember last week’s FUCKING ROBIN?

Well.

FUCKING USOPP!

Dude got himself some Observation, finally. These last few chapters seem to be dedicated to Oda giving everyone what they’ve been asking for in certain characters. Robin being useful in a fight? Check. Usopp sniping? Effing check. And in the best, most One Piece way too.[/details]

I doubted him, I doubted Oda’s intentions with Usopp for a moment, and then this shit happens?!

Forgive me Oda-sama!

God Usopp is official…

Sogeking with the level-up

Ahahahaha.

I literally could not stop laughing, plus we got see Usopp level up!

He’s still definitely not even close to Van Augur status, but at least he’s making progress.

Also something I just noticed.

Spoiler

Look who’s lying by Doflo’s feet. Looks like Bellamy got himself beaten up after that conversation they had earlier.

GOD MOTHERFUCKING USOPP!!

That is all.

My dude came through big, and got that long-awaited Haki power-up!!

I just learned via the one piece wiki and of course once again I know something without seeing it in anime. I just like to be surprised lol

Spoiler

Wow, it’s pretty damn amazing that Usopp just joined the monster trio as a haki user. I was honestly expecting him to be the last SH to learn Haki after the timeskip, not the first.

Hey guys, the 3D2Y special is currently out. I’m super glad that this didn’t release to theaters first. With it’s length and animation it could/should have EDIT:

Spoiler

but atleast now we don’t have to wait 6 extra months to be teased about gear 4. After Watching the entire special I didn’t get to see any indication of gear 4. Looks like i read too much into this article http://www.kdramastars.com/articles/28421/20140711/watch-one-piece-3d2y-episode.htm

I’m still laughing at DA GAWD Usopp using the USOPP FACEā„¢ as the magic bullet to stop Sugar.

Usopp is Legendary Status at this point… Can’t wait for him and Buggy to erroneously go down in history as two of the greatest pirates of all time.

Im pretty sure that gear 4 has to do with gomu gomu no red hawk, and you can see that something is happening to Luffy during the attack in the 3D2Y movie. . I think it was White Oda who had a vulcan Luffy theory iirc.

It looked like his haki wasnt strong enough and he felt the pain or he just wasn’t used to it.

is the movie canon?

Haki can perceive the speed of light?? thats crazy

I just caught up after months of being away and by and far the best chapter was Usopp landing that Cyclops 3-on-1 comeback. Motherfucker only had a dollar and a prayer but he fucking made it happen and prevented Luffy from turning into a Fleshlight. I had something in my eye the moment he broke down the shot step-by-step. Damn windy apartment.

I would like to think not. I liked the movie and Byrnndi world made a far more legit villain for Luffy than Caesar and Hody. It was interesting that he knew both Soru and Geppou, and that More More no mi power was cool. That power has some nice real world potential. gold nuggets

My only criticism was that they nerfed Hancock somewhat for the sake of plot. That was a ridiculous fight scene with the Kamp Kempo old hag.

I guess Red Hawk is supposed to hint at Luffy’s full mode Gear 4th. I think it has to do with Luffy being able to activate elemental abilities using haki in addition to his other techniques, like the electricity produced when Luffy used Thor Elephant Gun on Chinjao.

Haki has been shown to be capable of this a few times with other characters.
