Spoiler:
No, he released it on accident so to say because everyone around him was being killed despite the Marines already accomplishing their job. Then Akainu attacks him and Shanks shows up and saves him. Yeah, I think it's obvious that Coby will become to Luffy what Garp was to Roger.

Well, like I said, hopefully next time he appears they'll explaine a bit more about his powers. I thought BlackBeard was going to take WhiteBeards body as a hostage for some reason =/

Spoiler:
Oh is that what happens? I guess its been a while since I read that chapter. I do agree with you about Coby though, that should be tough for Luffy man.

Neiko Star February 6th, 2011 3:12 PM

His growth spurt still scares me, though.

thedestinedblade February 6th, 2011 6:07 PM

lol, his original look appears nothing as how he looks now aside from the pink hair. This supposed growth spurt only happened during a couple months too.

PearlShipper4Life February 6th, 2011 6:43 PM

LOLz Coby's growth was freakin funny, it was like WTF?! He's not normal I tells yah, must be related to a giantXD Luffy's reaction was every one's reaction.

thedestinedblade February 6th, 2011 9:08 PM

I guess that's what Garp's training will do for you. :) Sadly him and Helmeppo have done nothing but hide during the war.

Garps training does that? Wonder if his training on Luffy really did make him who he is today? Sanji said he thought he saw what made Luffy's will to liveXD Any who I can't wait for this weeks episode and manga chapter, I like that we've been getting a manga chapter per week, that's been fun. Besides I want to find out what happens between
Spoiler:
Luffy and the Mermaid Princess. Do you think Hamcock and Princess Mermaid will ever meet?

thedestinedblade February 7th, 2011 1:55 PM

Garp is the one who has been training Coby so maybe that had something to do with his radically new look.

A lot people of people had an impact on Luffy during his childhood. That's why I'm eager to get to the flashback arc in the anime. lol, but Garp wanted Luffy and Ace to become Marines so I'm not sure how much of Garp's training really affected Luffy in the first place.

Spoiler:
Doubt it. Only way they'll meet is if by some chance she joins the crew.

Neiko Star February 7th, 2011 4:59 PM

Haha. I loved the "If Luffy ever becomes a Marine, the food supply on his ship will be gone in less than a day." So true.

Awe man a flashback episode into Luffys past, I mean we saw how Shanks affected his life and every thing. We even saw how Ace became Luffy's step brother, however yah I'd like to see when Luffy decided to become a pirate and how escaped his gramps, that'd be so epic I bet.

Spoiler:
Well Princess joining, wow Hancock I'm not sure how she'd take itXD

Alternative February 8th, 2011 4:33 AM

I'm not really one for flashback episodes, unless they're new flashbacks that haven't been shown before. The last one I saw was a little bit in the Enies Lobby arc and the whole time when watching them I was thinking "Man, I've seen all this crap before". So I essentially skipped them all, since I don't like seeing boring how-they-became-pirates again and again.

thedestinedblade February 8th, 2011 7:28 AM

All of the character flashbacks have been pretty emotional since all of them seem to have a sad past. I wouldn't say it's the same how they became pirates, but more of why they became one. I enjoyed most of them really. Up until this point in the anime, Luffy is the one we know least of. Yes, we know Shanks had a big affect on him, and gave him his trademark strawhat, but that's about it. The upcoming episodes will show how Luffy and Ace became brothers in the first place. Though the repeated short flashbacks just to stretch episodes are rather annoying, lol.

Spoiler:
It'll also introduce the third brother, and also gives some insight on Dragon as well.

Awe I liked the one that showed how Luffy got his devil fruit powers, that one has always been a favorite of mine. Any who, that's what we are talking about, a new flashback episode. Like I said before, I'd like to see how Luffy left and decided to become a priate, I've always been really curious.

Spoiler:
It'd be kind of cool to see some thing on Dragon too, like why he just left Luffy like that. He didn't even know he had a dad for crying out loud.

thedestinedblade February 8th, 2011 2:43 PM

Well, I've always been curious as to who Luffy's mom was? I'm assuming she's dead since there's never been any mention of her once. What did she look like? Was she famous? Was she also a D. like Ace's mom? I'd like to eventually know the answers to those questions.

Ooh I'd love to see Luffy's mom too, I mean Garp could tell him about his mom like he did with Dragon.

thedestinedblade February 8th, 2011 7:35 PM

I'd prefer it if he'd actually hear it from his father's mouth. I don't know, it'd make it a bit more emotional? lol.

This week's chapter should be out soon. Hope it doesn't disappoint.

Well, if he and his father meet it'd be great if he heard about his mother from him. Do you think Luffy and Dragon will meet during these time skip episodes? I'd love that.

This weeks chapter is out and it was fun like you were hopping, or at least I thought so. This saga has really been amazing so far and it looks like

Spoiler:
The gang might take a little side trip, maybe the Mermaid Princess going with them? She said she always wanted to. Question is, will she end up joining the gang in the end? Odds are seeming possible each chapter as we go. Again, really liked the interaction between Luffy and the Mermaid Princess, I was hopping they'd head off together alone but Brook interrupted them, darn. HAHA I think I'm starting to become a shipper of themXD I think its obvious now who Luffy will be fighting in the end, they often give out big hints LOL. Now I think the gang is coming together again, all we need is Franky and Robin and we got it. Seems to me, Usopp really hasn't changed cuz he still wants to run away in battles, I really hopped that part of him did change cuz it always annoyed me. I did love Usopp's comical side but him being a chicken 24 % of the time well. Than you have Nami being selfish again and caring only about gold and money. I wonder if Zoro will get lost some time like he did in the past? I loved his comments about why they should listen to the hostage LOL Still hasn't lost his sense of humor.


So over all, yah fun chapter! Can't wait for next weeks, than we get to should see the entire gang together again. I can't wait for
Spoiler:
Sanji's reaction to Luffy being friends with the Mermaid Princess already. As it is, I want to see his reaction to Hancock being in love with Luffy tooXD

thedestinedblade February 9th, 2011 7:14 PM

That was a fun chapter. :D

Spoiler:
It seems like the Princess will be sticking around for awhile at the very least. It also seems like Luffy and the gang are gonna encounter Jinbei pretty soon since the place the mermaid wants to go is the same place Jinbei mentioned in the letter. The letter also warned Luffy not to fight Hodi. While I doubt he's on Luffy's level, I think it may be Jinbei protecting one of his former crew members; just a guess. Zoro also got a slight bounty raise.

Chopper's new Kung-Fu point looked kinda lame honestly. :laugh: Hoping we get to see others go all out soon.

PearlShipper4Life February 10th, 2011 1:09 AM

To me now that I see it

Spoiler:
Kind of looks like Luffy splits apart from the gang a few chapters with the Mermaid Princess. There interaction is always gold, so I don't mind some alone adventures between the two. Than the others are left behind a bit, will they follow after there leader? Who knows, kind of starting to sound a bit like another saga I know and love.
Any who, can't wait for the next chapter.

Spoiler:
And what saga would that be? The Princess obviously has a complex, and I'm pretty sure Luffy will be the one to get her over that. I don't think they'll be apart that long from the rest of the group; Brooke arrived just as the two of them were leaving. I wonder what Jinbei has to say to Luffy after 2 years.

Spoiler:
Its the Robin arc, where Luffy sneaks in first and takes on the entire army alone with the others following a bit later. I'm hopping Luffy and the Princess will be alone for a couple of chapters, don't know what would happen though. And oh yah for I'm sure Luffy will get over that, same thing happened with Coby, he was a cry baby and look at him now. Difference is, I'm sure Princess will fall for him at the end, now Coby blushes at times over Luffy but he just admires him a lot :P

Spoiler:
It's obvious you're hoping for some romance. :laugh: I guess after the whole Hancock thing, she's given you some hope, lol. Won't be long before we start getting some Luffy x Shirahoshi fanart. ;D


Also, for some reason I was re-watching a lot of the sad moments from the anime. :laugh: Merry's viking funeral tops the list, lol. I actually teared up for a boat.

Spoiler:
Well, with Hancock it was a loss romance cuz Luffy was oblivous to her crush on him. Than again, it makes me wonder if he'd notice had nothing been going on around him? At that time, he was obssesed with getting his step brother free. Than again, he didn't understand what was wrong with the girls on Lilly Island either so meh LOL. I've already seen fan art of the two, your too late bahaha and it wasn't me who posted it.


Rewatching sad moments, the one that really makes me sad
Spoiler:
is Robin saying "I Want to live!" Poor Merry, however the new boat is awesome!

Neiko Star February 11th, 2011 1:31 PM

:X Shouldn't that be in spoiler tags?

thedestinedblade February 11th, 2011 1:44 PM

That happened quite awhile ago. I think most people have past that part in the anime/manga.

PearlShipper4Life February 11th, 2011 2:11 PM

I put spoiler tags around the manga spoilers but I didn't think I needed to around the other stuff. Than again I didn't think about the English dubbed watchers sorry about that, as I am an English dubbed watcher myself too. Any who I'll do that...

Question
Spoiler:
Think Hancock is ever going to go on a journey with Luffy? And do you think he'd be able to hanndle her for an entire monthXD

You and Hancock. :laugh: I really don't see how it could happen. She's the leader of Amazon Lily so she can't just run off and do as she pleases. They'll meet up again for certain because of her position of Shichibukai. She had her chance to join, but like Vivi they simply can't just leave.

Awe Vivi left for a little bit and joined the Pirate crew, I'd think Hancock could be with him a couple of advetures. Now I'm thinking the Mermaid Princess might be more like Princess Vivi and hang with them for a while. Yah they'll hopefully meet up with Hancock, Luffy never breaks a promis. I like Hancock I can't help it, now I'm having trouble choosing who I want with Luffy thoughXD


AAhh New Episode tonight!

thedestinedblade February 12th, 2011 9:38 PM

Newest episode leaves you with wanting more. ;) Jinbei pretty much took a magma blast through the chest for Luffy, and even with that, Luffy still took pretty heavy damage. He's got the x-shaped scar over his chest, which will now become part of his signature look. First Crocodile saves him, then Buggy (unintentionally,lol). The best part of course, is Law showing up at the end. Episode has some nice music too.

Spoiler:
We still have to wait till March for Shanks...:/ One Piece is taking a break after next week's episode. Coby's haki will definitely awaken next week so that something to look forward too.

PearlShipper4Life February 12th, 2011 9:46 PM

LOL Buggy saving him freakin funnyXD But yah it was an epic episode I agree, even if some of it was filler they did an awesome job. Seeing Luffy get that mark on his chest was sad to watch, cuz I hate seeing him in pain =[

Spoiler:
I'm excited for Shanks to appear, on the edge of my seat for that and Cobys came out of no where What????
Now I'm dying like crazy to see the next episode. At least we have the next chapter to look forward to till than.

derozio February 12th, 2011 11:31 PM

I wish to join this club. Seeing that I'm a big OP fan myself, it wouldn't be a problem, right? :D

Well yeah, the episode was pretty awesome. I thought that 'Coby shouting and stopping the war for a few seconds' thing would be in this episode. To my disappointment, I found that it'll happen in the next episode. One more week. I'll be waiting for it with bated breath. Not to forget, shanks will be here soon too. <3

thedestinedblade February 13th, 2011 9:33 AM

lol, you probably want to put some of that in spoiler tags. I thought it'd happen this week as well, but they're stretching it out as much as possible. Either way, there's only 2 more episodes for this arc.

Spoiler:
Coby wouldn't haki last nights episode, I thought it was just forshadowing of him getting it. I know not a lot of people like Coby's character but I like him and him admiring Luffy like he does :) Yah they are taking there time showing this stuff but I think its cuz the time skip is next. I really can't wait to see the reunion between the gang in the anime.

derozio February 14th, 2011 4:44 AM

I'm glad to be a part of this club, guys.

Spoiler:
Yeah, time-skip sure is gonna be something else. Since its gonna be something that epic, I guess the fact that they're taking their time is sorta okay. XD; I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Nami and Robin after the time skip. They're gonna be...delicious. XD; /perverted

On a side note, anyone besides me over here thinks Sabo's gonna come back? I've been bringing this topic almost everywhere I go...but I can't help it, I guess.

A Pixy February 14th, 2011 5:04 AM

Can I join?

Spoiler:
Oda wouldn't leave a loose thread dangling like that. I'm sure he'll have a part in some story arc down the road. But, if I want anyone to come back, I want CP9 Kaku and his teammates to come back. They swore revenge on Spandam, I'm sure they could take him down with the rest of the World Government.

thedestinedblade February 14th, 2011 7:23 AM

^lol, Kaku was awesome. He's easily one of my favorite One Piece characters, and I'd love if he showed up again somewhere down the line.


Spoiler:
I guess there is a chance for Sabo. His death was never really confirmed. Some people suggested he might have been saved by Dragon, and became a revolutionary. Chapter 596's cover had a "what if" pic with an older looking Sabo, so I'm not sure what think. Was he teasing us?

Of course you can join, I'm glad to see so many One Piece fans joining latley.

Yah they wouldn't leave some thing like that off, take Hancock, I'm sure Luffy and his gang will visit them as Luffy said. I look forward to it ^^


Spoiler:
I'm looking forward to Time Skip Luffy the most, I want to see his Haki and how much he's improved on it. He will make the goverment fear them for sure.

Zameric February 14th, 2011 5:29 PM

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on much.
School is killer, and I'm in two Bleach clubs.

I recently got volume 55 from Barns & Nobel.
My first One Piece volume I have ever bought. xD
Even though I've read all this in fan scanlations, it's still fun to re-read.

I don't think she will, unless she losses her Warlord status.
Protecting the Kuja clan is too important. Her sisters are there to keep her from running off.
Though, her two sisters or Elder Nyon could be Empress or acting empress if Hancock wanted to leave.
After losing her Warlord status, if so happened.

I don't remember a lot of specifics about the CP9 arc, but I don't think they'll be come back in the story.
Could be in a filler or something in the anime.
Though, it would be funny to see Luffy to use his power of friendship and fight along side Lucci against a Admiral or something. xD

PearlShipper4Life February 14th, 2011 8:04 PM

Hi, welcome back Zameric, cool that your a Bleach fan I used to be one but over time I've become more and more obssesed with One PieceXD
Sounds like fun.

You sure

Spoiler:
Hancock wouldn't give up her postion as a WarLord to be with Luffy? I don't know, she loves him loads. You bring up a good idea of her sisters replacing her the time being. However, I didn't think she'd be on Luffy's team forever, just for a saga maybe?

If she could have it her way, I'm sure she would. But I mean that her sisters would probably stop her from trying to as long as she has Warlord status.



After chatting with a friend about this for a little while, I came up with a discussion topic...
Spoiler:
If Buggy does not become a Warlord after the time skip, then what do you think could be the new total bounty of the Buggy Pirates?

I'll give my answer to this tomorrow, as I'm gonna go to bed now.

lol, no clue. All those prisoners that followed Buggy supposedly have extremely high bounties. Coupled with Buggy getting a huge raise, and Mr. 3 possibly getting a decent bounty too, I could honestly seeing it being higher than the Strawhats. :laugh:

I still think Oda made him a Shichibukai during the time-skip, though. For lulz of course.

Her sisters let her help Luffy during the War arc I'd hope they wouldn't mind her going on another little journey with him. At least I'd hope not any ways =/

I honestly don't know how much Buggy's bounty would be at this moment. A lot less than luffy's that's for sureXD


Here's a good question

When do you will happen when they reach the New World?

I assume

Spoiler:
Luffy V.S Moria Part 2. Only more powerful Moria, with Luffy using more new powers of his.


Luffy V.S Smoker part 3

Maybe Luffy V.S Crocodile??

Hancock showing up lending a hand since she's a
Spoiler:
WarLord


Also, how many more arcs do you think will get before or after we get to New world? Seeing as how popular One Piece manga just keeps getting, I don't think it will be ending any time soon. However, I do think we could have a few more arcs even after we get there. So what do you think?

Spoiler:
I used to think that too. But someday, while thinking about it, I realised that Sabo, as a character, wasn't really necessary. It wasn't like he was needed at all. We haven't heard or seen even a shadow of his character before the chapters after the whitebeard war, right? And in the anime, I've only seen Ace and Luffy in every flashback I've seen. If I recall correctly, they took the oath sorta thing that made them brothers together, right? All three of 'em? If my memory serves me right, there's a scene which is shown in one of the flashbacks where ace and Luffy take that oath or whatever. Sabo was nowhere. And then suddenly, out of nowhere, he appears just after the whitebeard war! A character doesn't just pop up anytime. Especially so late in the series if he doesn't serve any significant purpose. That's what made me think he just might make a return. I even searched everywhere I could to find any 'solid' evidence of his death. Read the chapter where his 'death' was depicted. The way in which that part is drawn makes me sorta suspicious. If he wanted to show us that Sabo actually died, why didn't he make it totally clear by showing some solid evidence? His death just doesn't seem like a real thing to me now. Its more like..he somehow survived that blow and have been living alone without the knowledge of anybody else.

...at least, that's what I think.


As for buggy:
Spoiler:
I don't see him becoming a warlord anytime soon, naah. XD;


And I wanna see the light of new world. Soon. A lot of exciting things might happen. The possibilities are too many. XD;

Regarding Hancock:
Spoiler:
For some reason, I don't think she'll be joining Luffy. Might do that for a single small arc or something...but not for too long. I mean, Sanji would die the day Hancock sets her foot on the ship (excessive nosebleed), haha! XD;

thedestinedblade February 15th, 2011 8:42 AM

What will will happen when they reach the New World? So many possibilities. :)

Spoiler:
That I don't even know where to start guessing...lol. I'm just anxious to see where they stand after two years of training. I'm sure they'll meet with Law and Kid eventually and wouldn't be surprised if some of the other Supernova have been killed off as well. I'm also wondering if they'll encounter Kuma again as well. He protected the Sunny for 2 years, and Franky mentioned that if they meet again he will already have become a heartless weapon. I'm curious how that encounter would play out.

Another female crewmember would be nice too. ;)

Spoiler:
Oh but Sanji may already die due to being near the Mermaid Princess, maybe cuz of that hey'll be ready for Hancock?? A small arc was really what I meant any ways. However, it'd be epic if she went with them to the New World to help them.


Icebloom
Spoiler:
A new female joining the crew would better if yah ask me, there's tons of guys in the crew, time for a new female. But yah I def see Kid and Law being there. I'm not sure about Moria V.S Luffy now, people are saying maybe a team up but I'd rather see another battle like Moria said during there last battle. Than of course Smoker promising he'd catch them in the New World, hopefully Luffy got some thing to fight against him this time.


But yah, can't wait for the gang to reach the New World.

Zameric February 15th, 2011 1:18 PM

Spoiler:
If Buggy does not become a Warlord after the time skip, then what do you think could be the new total bounty of the Buggy Pirates?

Well considering Buggy's new found reputation for be considered one of the masterminds for the break out of Impel Down, the Marine's discovery that he was an apprentice in Gold Roger's crew, and his some what involvement in the Whitebeard War, I could see Buggy's bounty making 50 to 75 million easy. He's also gotten a somewhat stronger since the beginning of the series.

Mr. 3 will probably gain reputation now too for his involvements alongside Buggy. We know he was strong enough to beat a pirate with a 47 million bounty before (but this was unknown to the World Government), and he helped Luffy to beat Magellan. His bounty could be anywhere from 20 to 50 million.

Alvida's bounty porbably won't go up much unless she does something during the two year time skip. So a minimum of 5 million.

I don't see Mohji or Cabaji getting bounties. >.>

Unless any the former I.D. prisoners are revealed, they're bounties probably won't be added to the crew's.

So I think a good minimum to set for the total bounty of the Buggy Pirates would be 70 to 100 million. Could be higher if some new members' bounties are revealed.

Oh, it seems like I missed that part/overlooked it. XD; That changes a lot of things.

Nobody agrees with my Sabo theory, hmm? :(

Spoiler:
Oh right, mermaid princess! I forgot that she's one hell of a beautiful girl as well. And as for the bounties, my guess is as good as Zameric's. Pretty much what he wrote.

Spoiler:

Luffy originally wanted a crew of 10, so not counting himself, there's 2 spots left. I really hope at least another female joins up. (Vivi! :/)

Definitely do not want to see Moria again. He's been to the New World before, and him and his crew got completely destroyed. I don't think he'd try again. Doflamingo on other hand, I'd love to see. He's as crazy as he is strong. :laugh:

derozio February 15th, 2011 9:31 PM

Doflamingo, yes. Very little of his personality has been revealed and his powers remain a mystery. He has to be very strong to get out of the whitebeard war without a single scratch, after all! I'd love to see more of him there.

thedestinedblade February 15th, 2011 9:43 PM

I think we've seen enough of personality, really. The guy is crazy! :knockedou Runs a human slave ring, and loves to toy with people like puppets. Still, I love his flamboyant character.

Spoiler:
I liked Vivi, I hope we see her again during the Time Skip but she won't join up again she already stated why unless another attack happens. Moria said Luffy should see him in the New World that he'd be twice as powerful than he was, I always figured it meant they wanted another fight which is some thing I'm hopping for than that's me. I hope the next one to join is a female myself, its been a while since we've had a new female on the crew, I'd like it if Camie joined or the Princess but that'd be a hard one to have.


Now onto manga spoilers..

Spoiler:
This was another fun chapter, I've really been enjoying this saga. Things have really been setting up, kind of got a hint as to how Luffy will destroy the Islad and who may join the crew, actually we've been given a couple of hints on different characters. I can't wait for next weeks chapter, seems the forest is a graveyard, me thinks the princess wants to see her mother I bet. I'd LOL If that one guy fights Luffy over the princess {Forget his name sorry} He's in love with her though in a creepy way too. Poor Luffy I could see caught in the middle of it, he wouldn't even want her LOL And if she does end up falling for him oiXD

thedestinedblade February 16th, 2011 12:51 PM

From what I gathered from this week's chapter spoilers:

Spoiler:
It does look like they're setting up for a tragic flashback involving the Princess' mother who was assassinated. I think it's obvious she wanted to go the Sea Forest to visit her mother's grave. Jinbei will probably be the one to tell Luffy the story.

And Decken's right hand has been locked on the Princess for 10 years!

I'll write more once I read the chapter.

I bet you Jinbei will want Luffy to take the Princess with himXD
Yes Decken {Is it?} Is very creepy, I feel bad for her for having such a fan boy after her, on top of that she has Sanji and Brook to deal with blah.

thedestinedblade February 17th, 2011 11:12 AM

Now that the chapter's out:

Spoiler:
Most of the chapter was spent in the flashback with Hachi and New Fishman Pirates. It was pretty informative as they mentioned looking up to Arlong, which explains why Hodi wants revenge against Luffy. Next week will probably be Jinbei telling Luffy the story of the Princess' mother, and explaining in the letter why he asked Luffy not fight them. Still haven't seen anything of Robin and Franky though.

Welcome to the club, great to see another One Piece fan :cool:

Yah the chapter just got released so cool I agree with you Icebloom

Spoiler:
Jinbei will tell Luffy not to fight but he won't listen bahaha Hodi I like his reasons for wanting revenge on Luffy, so cool. I bet you Luffy won't even remember ArlongXD He always seems to forget his enemies, well Crocodile was one thing though that's cuz he keeps coming back for some reason or another LOL. I feel bad for the Princess, stupid Decken keeping her locked in like that so she couldn't see her mothers grave, I hate Decken, stupid pervert needs to get destroyed by Luffy. So the way I see it, is Luffy will take down two of them at different times or the same, either way will be an epic fight!

thedestinedblade February 17th, 2011 9:51 PM

Spoiler:
:laugh: I don't like Decken either. Luffy will deal with Decken probably just because of the Princess. Hodi, I'm not sure of. I find it hard to believe he's any stronger than Arlong without taking those drugs he uses. I wonder how Decken managed to touch the Princess in the first place? 10 years without washing your hands is a bit much, lol.

Spoiler:
Yah I know poor Luffy getting caught in the mess, just trys to take the poor girl to where she really wants to go. Little does he know is there's this weirdo fan boy looking for her, hey'll likely get caught in a love triangle without knowing LOLz. Yah not washing your hands that long is gross, reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons when Bart said he'd never wash his hands again after well yuck LOL, so yah can't imagine it. I don't think Hodi's stronger than Arlong either, Arlong has been around a lot longer LOL Hodi thinks he's stronger than him he's insane. So Luffy should be able to kick that guys butt if he defeated Arlong

PearlShipper4Life February 19th, 2011 7:33 PM

Shanks and Garp were freakin awesome.

The only person that comes to mind is Bellemere, her adoptive mother. She was killed by Arlong, leader of the Fishman Pirates.

thedestinedblade February 19th, 2011 9:59 PM

As for today's episode:

They really, really stretched it out. Nothing really happened the first half of the episode. Still, Coby's speech still gave me chills like when I first read it in the manga. Shanks showing up was awesome of course. I believe there's no episode next week, so we'll have to wait till March to see the war finally come to an end.

PearlShipper4Life February 19th, 2011 11:54 PM

Oh yah there's no new episode next week for sure, at least we have the new chapter though I was tolled there would be. Yah I agree with you about Coby filler, don't know why they added that stuff at least the Buggy filler was funny at times oh well at least it had meaning I guess. Yah Shanks was awesome again, love that guy my second favorite character.

Zameric February 21st, 2011 10:23 AM

Sorry that I haven't been able to get on in a while.
Should be more active this week though.

I'll watch the new anime episode in a little while.
Can't wait for the next arc to start in the dubs! 8D

Eh, not one of the greatest episodes, but it had it's moments.
I didn't like how 1/3 to 1/2 of it was just Coby crying. >.>
Though it was pretty damn courageous of him to stand in Akainu's way.
But they even messed that up with his face.
Blackbeard using his new found powers was pretty bad-***. :D
Bepo was hilarious. He'd be a perfect fight on Luffy's crew. xD
And like in the manga, we're teased with the appearance of the Red-Hair Pirates.
I heard that the next episode won't be out for two weeks. :/



Hey guys, I was thinking of posting my pirate persona.
Anyone interested, or should I just not bother? xD

PearlShipper4Life February 21st, 2011 11:28 PM

Hey guys lets talk about Gear 4 for a moment here, think will get that in the next arc? I heard we might wouldn't that be epic?! :)

edit;

Yes, its true no new episode for 2 weeks sucks but I think its the last episode of the War so understandable. Like I said, least we have the new chapter to look forward to.

thedestinedblade February 23rd, 2011 7:43 AM

Spoilers for this week's chapter are out.

Spoiler:
It's looks it setting up for Zoro to end up fighting Hodi/Hody. Hopefully Sanji isn't left out of a good fight as usual. :/ We finally got to see Franky and Robin again, and it seemed both have arrived where Luffy and the Princess are currently heading. This was more of a set-up chapter. Nothing of Luffy was shown, and it looks like there might a bigger enemy behind all this.

PearlShipper4Life February 23rd, 2011 12:21 PM

Spoiler:
Yah but next weeks chapter looks to be Luffy V.S Decken at least however I do think Hodi will end up fighting him in the end too due to the message. Your right, it does look like some one much bigger is behind this I had that theory myself I hope its true cuz Luffy needs more to do this saga. IF there is some one behind pulling the strings than Luffy gets to fight Decken and the boss. It'd cool if it was like Thriller Park and Luffy was with Franky and Robin while the rest of the team was heading that way but did other things. Than we could see two teams the entire saga till we reach the end maybe?? That'd be awesome. I loved how Neptune figured out Luffy's idea that was LOL He has the same mind as himXD I hope they get along once they meet, that'd be freakin funny. Over all, good chapter and it was nice to see what happened with Franky and Robin, been a while. Oh yah Sanji, hope he gets some one to fight as well, that'd suck if he didn't, he's been kind of left in the dark with all of this. Than again so has Luffy, but I think he's about to find out what's going on next weeks chapter.

At first, I didn't understand how all those sea beast were flying in the sky like that. xD
Glad that Robin's okay. Sounds like she's going on a treasure hunt.
I agree with Zoro's logic, not reall people you should have tea with. xD
Den's one of the more attractive fishman I've seen so for. XD
Most are weird looking or just kind of ugly.
I had no idea they were standing that close to Jinbe. o.0
Well, looks like some fights are gonna start in the next chapter.
I wonder who will start first.


Here is my pirate persona, in case anyone is interested.
Please let me know what you think.
Spoiler:
Name; Gebrinius Hermes

Epithet; Quicksilver, Felt Hat

Bounty; 216,000,000 Beli

Age; 21

Home Sea; Grand Line

Affiliations; Quicksilver Pirates

Appearance; Hermes is a slender and muscular man; standing about 5’11” (180cm). Blue eyes, silver goatee, and silver colored wavy hair that extends a few inches below his shoulders. Hermes has a black fedora hat, which serves as one of his trademarks. His clothing consists of a gray dress shirt, black slacks and black leather dress shoes. Tattooed on his right hand is the symbol for the planet/element Mercury.

Personality; Hermes is usually a calm and collected person. He tends to be sarcastic to others if they are annoying him though. Hermes has great respect for his crew mates and will do everything possible to keep them from harm if in danger. He is willing to make friends with other pirates if he gets a good vibe from them, but he does understand that they are still his rivals. Hermes hates marines who believe in absolute justice and will show them no mercy. But as a former marine, he is sometimes conflicted about his path.

History; Hermes was the son of a Marine officer and aspired to be just like his dad growing up. Since his father was a Rear Admiral, Hermes was able to meet several high profile people; including a few Vice-Admirals and some Cipher Pol agents. Hermes went through training to become a marine, starting at age 15. He climbed up the ranks fast, because of his father’s connections and his early skills with Haki and Rokushiki. Hermes eventually achieved the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade.

When he was 18, Hermes’ father was killed by a Vice-Admiral while protecting two citizens suspected of aiding a pirate; his father was the only one who knew they were not. Hermes was not told which Vice-Admiral killed his father, and he couldn’t get a straight answer from any of his father’s friends. Hermes trust of the Marines, and the World Government, had been shattered. He rebelled by stealing the Silver-Silver Devil Fruit and running off with a standard marine ship (not the ones used at Marineford) in the middle of the night.

Jolly Roger; Hermes' Jolly Roger is a silvery skull and cross bones wearing a fedora hat.

Abilities; Rukoshiki: While his training was not completed, Hermes is proficient in some techniques.
  • Finger Pistol (Shigan): Hermes can use the standard Finger Pistol technique, as well as a flicking variation similar to Rob Lucci.
  • Shave (Soru): Hermes has mastered the fundamentals of the Shave technique.
  • Iron Body (Tekkai): Hermes has mastered the fundamentals of the Iron Body technique.
Haki: Hermes’ Haki abilities awakened during his time as a Marine. Although he has not fully mastered them, his is still proficient.
  • Kenbunshoku (Color of Observation): Hermes is well versed in this form of Haki and is the form he uses more.
  • Busoshoku (Color of Armaments): Hermes skill in this form is still basic and he does not use it as often.
Devil Fruit: Silver-Silver Fruit (Gin Gin no Mi)
The Silver-Silver Fruit is a Paramecia class devil fruit with the ability to allow the user to create and manipulate a silvery metallic substance. A side effect of the ability allows the user to detect changes in temperature, atmospheric pressure, and blood pressure.
  • Heavy Metal (ヘビー メタル, Hebī Metaru): The user launches a liquid stream of the substance to infect the enemy and to cause death by heavy metal poisoning.
  • Mercury Blade (水銀 ブレード, Suigin Burēdo): The user forms metallic blades on a limb. Capable of inflicting heavy metal poisoning on the person cut. Hermes can use Iron Body to increase strength and sharpness; but is vulnerable to counter attacks if he misses.
  • Mirror Armor (ミラー 鎧, Mirā Yoroi): Hermes’ body or part of his body can turn metallic to reflect beam based attacks. It can also be use as a regular mirror.
  • Metal Eater (メタル イーター, Metaru Ītā): Hermes can use the substance generated by the fruit’s powers to dissolve most any metal, except for Iron.
  • Silver Bullet (銀 銃弾, Gin Jūdan): Hermes uses Finger Pistol to fire metallic bullets by flicking his fingers.
  • Heavy Metal Injection (ヘビー メタル 注射, Hebī Metaru Chūsha): Hermes uses the standard Finger Pistol to stab opponents, he then secretes the metallic substance into their body.
  • Silver Statue (銀像, Gin-zō): The user covers their body in the metallic substance while using Iron Body to harden themselves. The added hardened substance doubles the damage absorption.
The only special weakness of the Silver-Silver Fruit is that Iron has a resistance to some of its abilities.

thedestinedblade February 25th, 2011 9:31 AM

^You put a lot of thought into that. Interesting backstory, and the Silver-Silver would be a pretty sweet devil fruit ability.

angel February 25th, 2011 12:01 PM

Wow. Nicely done Zameric. I like the fact that he was high up with the Marines. Why would Marines have Devil Fruits? Tsk. They are probally trying to use them against the pirates.

Zameric February 25th, 2011 7:59 PM

Haha, thanks for the comments you guys. :)
Complimenting me won't make me happy, you jerks. 8D

Well, several high up Marines have eaten Devil Fruit. I figured they probably have some in storage to keep in reserve and/or keep away from pirates.

I just think it'd be silly for them to put in Jembei to say not to fight Hodi if they really aren't going to fight. I call that forshadowing, however it'd be pretty cool if there was some one behind every thing.

Oooh You mean maybe

Spoiler:
Well you'd think Jembei would know Luffy better though, asking Luffy not do to some thing is like asking for snow in LAXD If its forbidden to him hey'll want to do it. After being with Luffy the entire you'd think he'd know not to say that. I just don't know, normally the show adds those type of things to forshadow fights, awe well. I wonder how Luffy would hanndle against the guy?

PearlShipper4Life March 2nd, 2011 12:34 PM

No new Chapter this week sadly and that sucks cuz it was getting really good. At least there's a new episode :)

thedestinedblade March 2nd, 2011 10:34 PM

Yeah. D: No episode last week, and no chapter this week.

PearlShipper4Life March 6th, 2011 2:41 PM

Hopefully next week will have a new episode and a new chapter =]

Yesterday new episode aired, Shanks continues to be an awesome character. He's one of my favorites, I liked his interactions with Buggy, that was funny. I liked how he talked about Luffy and wanting to see him again but can't cuz he's waiting for him to be a great pirate. The ending to the War was great, I LOL'd at BlackBeard for not wanting to take on Shanks and his crew yet. I bet the finale fight will be Shanks crew V.S BlackBeard's crew, than BlackBeards crew cheats or some thing to get Shanks crew down. Than Luffy and his crew show up with more new moves and stuff and help them, finally defeat BlackBeard and get revenge for what happened to his brother. Though to tell you the truth, I'm hopping he defeats BlackBeard sooner than that but yah. Next weeks episode looks exciting, Kidd returns with his creepy evil smileXD

thedestinedblade March 7th, 2011 6:32 PM

Finally the war ends! :knockedou Shanks' crew looks pretty badass. They're still saving to show Shanks actually fighting ability for later on. Oda is just teasing us for now.

I haven't seen the preview for the next episode; what'd it show?

PearlShipper4Life March 7th, 2011 9:41 PM

Yah I can see them showing what Shanks knows for some thing the last, still what he did now was impressive. The preview showed all the Supernova's from the chapter I think they'll give a reaction what happened.

Spoiler:
I love how bad-ass Shanks is in this episode!
He practically ends the war by just showing up and giving everyone the stink eye. xD

Aokiji and Kizaru were pretty cool too, though.

I think there's only a couple more episodes before the Sabo arc.
Then I'm hoping for some Straw Hat Crew Adventures episodes. :p


Anime 192
I love this episode! 8D
Luffy destroys the giant Zap Cannon thunder ball.
But I'm not sure he knew the physics behind what he did. xD
Then Eneru become a tubby-raijin. But that doesn't stop Luffy.
He just shoots him with a giant golden bullet and rings the bell!
But I didn't like where the episode cut off. :/

PearlShipper4Life March 9th, 2011 4:28 PM

Any one check out the new chapter today?

It was pretty good

Spoiler:
Luffy gets together with Sanji/Chopper funny enough, now the question here is, who will fight Decken? Will it be like Skypiea? Where Luffy/Sanji team up to take Decken down? Or will one go after the creep who stole the mermaids, while one stays behind to take Decken down? Than we have Zoro dealing with Hodi, I still have a feeling that Luffy will fight him in the end but that's me, unless there really is some one behind the scenes? It was a good chapter, can't wait till the battles really get going.

Just to let you guys know, I won't be on much this week.
I'm going to California for Spring Break, to visit relatives.
I'll be staying in a hotel and I don't know how much internet access I'll have.

Manga 617
Spoiler:
I think Zoro's fight with Hordy will be very interesting.
Hordy's strength and speed are multiplied while underwater, plus his Energy Steroids.
But Zoro's also gotten stronger, with training under Mihawk for two years and all that.

I hope Luffy doesn't get into too much trouble, because now it really seems like he kidnapped the princess.
Maybe she'll be able to straighten things out before he's chased off by the Ryuuguu Kindgom residents.

And for Sanji's sake, that's all hope he doesn't turn around an get another nosebleed! xD

I wonder who Decken's going to fight.
Maybe the three Strawhats by the princess?
Or maybe just one or two while the other(s) take the princess to safety?
If Luffy learns Decken was the one who injured Hachi, he's gonna be pissed.
This will be a really interesting battle.

The Ice Type March 14th, 2011 4:14 PM

Ooh~ One Piece! Sweet! I'mma join this group cause discussions look like fun :3

Mm'kay, so, my favorite chara is Nico Robin. I love her character design, especially after the timeskip. Enies Lobby gave her a really kickass outfit, and her background is sad but it bring out the kind of character she is, which is what I'm drawn to. Her ability is pretty useful and not many can stand against it, plus now that she's grown I would love to see how much her skills have changed. I've always loved how she has an interest in the Lost History, so I can picture her as quite a history buff :3

My favorite arcs are Alabasta and Enies Lobby, though I especially liked the beginning arcs where there was always something important to be protected. That's a great way to start out a series.

PearlShipper4Life March 15th, 2011 3:38 PM

Welcome The Ice Type, great to see a new One Piece fan here, Robin's an awesome character too, she's my favorite female character on the series. Those are great arcs :)

Chapter 618 came out today, didn't think spoilers would be out this early but they are.

Spoiler:
Sanji takes a chance and looks at the mermaid princess and turns to stone LOL. That guy truley is a pervert, poor guy got turned to stone by Hancock and now the mermaid princess wow just wow. Luffy fought Decken and pawned him in a second, guy was screwed the moment he went after the mermaid princess bahaha mean-while poor sanji is left to stone and Chopper is dealing with the mob LOL. I wonder if Luffy will run into the guy who stole the mermaids too on the way? Sure why not. Nami/Camie are up to some thing themselves ooh what are they going to do? I wonder if Camie really will be the one to join? So what if she's weak, Nami's weak too don't see people caring about that. So over all great chapter and I still don't see Zoro V.S Hodi lasting long, I think Hodi will either fight Luffy in the end or Jembei due to the message, why else is it there?

A Pixy March 15th, 2011 4:17 PM

Robin needs to have a more dynamic fight. The only 1 on 1 fight I can recall her having was against Pell waaaaaaaaaay back in Alabasta. And that fight was conlcuded the way she ends every fight. Seis Fleurs... CLUTCH!

Fight over.

Also, if I had to list arcs:

1. Enies Lobby Arc/Arlong Arc
2. Impel Down Arc
3. Marineford Arc
4. Alabasta Arc
5. Thriller Bark Arc

Sagas:

1. Water 7 (CP9, World Government)
2. Paramount War (Whitebeard War)
3. Baroque Works (Alabasta)
4. Thriller Bark (Part of the Paramount War? The ending, maybe. But not much)
5. East Blue

Although, if I could combine Episode 0, the Little East Arc and Strong World into one saga (they are all canon) and call it the 'Shiki the Golden Lion Saga' or 'Strong World Saga' it would be tied with Water 7.

I'm surprised to see that there's actually spoilers this week. I thought because of the earthquake/tsunami we wouldn't have any One Piece for awhile (understandably) This chapter was probably was already finished before the disaster struck.

Spoiler:
Stone? Really? :/ I hope this isn't recurring for Sanji. Either way, Luffy dealt with Decken rather easily, but he's not out yet as it said he went after Luffy and the Princess who ran towards the forest (where Jinbei is) Zoro's taking care of Hodi without much trouble, but you know he's gonna overdose on the steroid, which might give Zoro at least some trouble. Hard to see where this is going really. Hoping for a nice suprise

Yah, the episode was right after the earthquake/Tsunami so yah but I'm pretty sure will get one this weekend. I was shocked too that we got spoilers, on top of that they were early still awesome!

Spoiler:
It does seem to be a running gag for Sanji now, poor guy Oda seems to love picking on himXD I can already picture the ending for him of this arc and it is not pretty LOL. I must have missed the part where it said Decken ran after Luffy and the princess, revenge? I'm sure Luffy will take care of him again, what a creep! Maybe that's how the place gets destroyed? I still don't see the battle between Zoro and Hodi going any where.


THAT WONDERFUL PIXY GUY! do you think Robin will fight in the new arc?

PearlShipper4Life March 17th, 2011 9:24 PM

New episode is confirmed for this weekend just saying this for the fans, enjoy. I'm really looking forward to..

Spoiler:
Seeing Kidd again and Luffy's/Hancock's interactionsXD

PearlShipper4Life March 19th, 2011 8:25 PM

Todays episode was great, animation and music was nice and you got to see some Supernova's. I can't wait for next weeks episode, Luffy wakes up. No chapter next week, at least its not too long of a wait, I can't wait to see the out come.

Spoiler:
Yeah, I don't think Hordy is done for yet either, but I'm Zoro will ultimately win.
A more challenging fight for Zoro would be more interesting though.

I don't know, think Zoro vs. Hordy could probably go on for a little while longer.

I was kind of hoping to watch that when the dub came out. But I doesn't seem like that is going to happen. Anyone know a good place to watch it online?

They're talking forever to get to the Sabo arc. I think I might just skip it, except for a few episodes... >.>

thedestinedblade March 20th, 2011 2:05 PM

Well, this week's episode was merely a transition. Best part of the episode was near the end with the interaction between Jinbei, Hancock, and Law. Most of the world appears to be ignorant to what Whitebeard's death really means.

PearlShipper4Life March 22nd, 2011 6:10 PM

Why skip the filler arc? It gives good info on Luffy oh wells not every one is a fan of that one I know. I agree the interaction between Hancock/Law/Jembei were great. Oi I don't know if I'll be able to hanndle next weeks episode, its hard watching Luffy depressed like that :(

edit;

I agree Icebloom people in that world have no idea what it means now that WhiteBeard is gone and BlackBeard has his power. Did they forget what happeened with BlackBeard?

I agree with everything you just said! *high fives* Welcome to the club! :D

I think they'll get the fillers in there eventually, I'm just thinking they'll show the other Strawhats' adventures first. But I could be wrong. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing everyone reunited in the anime again. ^_^

Alternative March 26th, 2011 7:27 PM

Eh, I've been watching it lately, and it's okay. I kinda skipped the Thriller Bark arc, because I found it to be boring, and I didn't have motivation to watch it at all. I mean I know what happens and everything, like Luffy beating up Gecko Moriah and stuff, with more stuff happening to Bartholomew Kuma with Zoro or something so I skipped it. Right now I'm watching the Sabaody Archipelago arc I think it is, or at least where they're flown to other places, and just up to Luffy on his way to Impel Down.

Also, I wonder how much Luffy x Boa Hammock Hancock shipping there is?

Umm, not really a filler arc. It's more of a flashback, but It feels like filler. >.<

Spoiler:
Well, the World Government is going more with the ignorance is bliss approach to this.
They figure that it's better to cover up that fact and not have world-wide panic/fear.
It's like in the real world where we have world communication with the internet.
I'm sure it will come to bite them in the butt later on though. :/
Too bad the World Government doesn't have CP9 anymore.
