One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

One of the bum streaming sites trolled people and it was some random episode for One Piece 677 lol

Watched the recent anime episodes.

Dude went down so many tiers since his fight with Luffy.

Did Oda completely forget about the dials?

It’s less that Usopp went down tiers, more that the rest of the world went up a whole bunch of tiers.

I wanna see more of Usopp’s Batman-level battle planning (and he does get one HELL of a moment later on, if you haven’t read the mangas yet), but what he did in that fight versus Luffy wouldn’t even faze a character-tier New World fighter. It’d tear apart mooks, but consider how Luffy is, at worst, distracted and slightly out of breath until he gets hit by his own punch.

Named character fighters in the New World would tank that shit or blow through it in no time flat.

I do wanna see more Dial usage, but I dunno how they’d do against New World level punches. Maybe get a few of those super dials that risk killing you if you use them, put’em out as traps once they’ve absorbed a hit.

Also, does anyone know if Jump is back this week, or if Christmas/New Year means a two-week break? I keep forgetting.

I believe it’s a two week break as far as I know.

Its all good in the hood now. Just finished watching :slight_smile:

I’m all caught up now finally, now it’s time for the once a week wait to start lol. Dressrosa is pretty dark so far with all the flashbacks and whatnot, I have to say I’m liking it so far.

One thing that I never understood, was that if all sugar had to do was pass out for the spell to be broken, does that mean that she’s never slept in the last 10 years?

Sugar, or any other Devil Fruit user has to be either completely unconscious or dead for their ability to lose effect.

A sleeping person has a certain level of consciousness and can still react to stimuli.

[details=Spoiler]O_O

OMG, A chapter where Robin finally starts becoming awesome again???

Anyway, I’ll post more of my thoughts later but hot damn, I’M SO FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!! :heart_eyes: [/details]

This was a baller chapter.

Cavendish/ Hakuba on that ā€œWE ARE VENOM!ā€ ish:

I loved the banter between the three characters and also how Robin was able to handle herself. I know a certain regular in this thread really liked what Robin showcased this chapter.

I never thought I’d ever say this, but I’m starting to see how Bart could be an honorary Strawhat after this arc, at least from a distance. His fandom knows no bounds, but I got to respect the commitment. BARI BARI NO…!

PISTORU!!!

Overall, an excellent display of abilities, I really want to see Gear 4th from Luffy just to add to the hype.

Also awesome chapter. Really, really awesome.

Poor Barto. Your lack of genre-savvyness has now doomed you to a guaranteed, unwilling future teamup with Cabbagedish.[/details]

BARI BARI NO PISTOL!

Bartolomeo is the expy of every One Piece fan in existence.

So I just had a crazy thought- Luffy is gonna have a shit-ton of followers after this, maybe this is the beginning of the Straw Hat Pirate Fleet?

We might just be seeing the birth of the Straw Hat Pirates Gold and Blue Teams a-la X-Men.

Imagine Luffy getting his Whitebeard on and having a crew so huge that it is split into divisions… Of course, Luffy being Luffy will never officially allow such a thing, but a huge network of pirates dedicated to seeing Luffy achieve his dreams is not that farfetched an outcome now.

He’s going to need a following that size to take on emperors if White Beard’s fleet is any indication.

Yep. The idea’s been put out there before. Hell, he’s already kinda got that before the New World, with the amount of allies he’d been gathering just by being Luffy.

Luffy himself doesn’t seem like the kinda guy who’s ever going to actively manage a fleet of ships, but I figure his crew are going to talk him into it… Or it’ll Just Happen. Hey yo Luffy we heard you needed an army. We’re an army. Three armies, in fact.

More like the original Straw hat pirates and the ā€œGodā€ Usoop pirates.
