Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around for a while.

Manga 629
Spoiler:
Nojiko's gotten even hotter!
I don't get why Luffy didn't dodge or deflect Jinbe's attack with Haki...
Robin's new ability is awesome!
It was hilarious how Sanji got caught in the cross fire. xD
I figured the Jinbe didn't want Luffy to fight Hody because he's human.
I don't get why they can't just play tag-team... >.>
Is Daruma a fishwoman? o.0
Wow, so Brook actually got a new ability too. xD

I don't like reading manga, not One Piece, but just manga in general. And it's not that I don't like reading it, I don't like reading it on a screen. I'd prefer to get all the One Piece Manga myself and read it like that if I wanted to start reading it.

Alakazam17 June 24th, 2011 6:44 PM

Heh, I've been pretty inactive here myself. Though I am still very much caught up to One Piece. ^_^

Spoiler:
I'm making a few predictions about Sabo, with my favourite being his being alive and becoming a Celestial Dragon himself. Even though I know this is highly, highly unlikely. XD

I also want to see all the Strawhats in action with their new abilities. Especially Robin, haha. I'm also looking forward to seeing them depicted in the anime after the time skip.

Spoiler:
lol, interesting theory, but it's pretty much impossible. You're either born a Celestial Dragon or not. You really can't become one. I too think Sabo is alive, though. Could of forgotten his memory and picked by a pirate crew, or something to that degree. :P

Alternative June 24th, 2011 7:52 PM

Spoiler:
I still believe that Sabo is alive and will do something for the Revolutionary Army, because of his interation with Dragon. That's probably my best hypothesis on what will happen.

Alakazam17 June 24th, 2011 7:52 PM

Spoiler:
Yes, that's why I figured it would be highly unlikely. XD

Though anything can be possible. :P

Alternative June 25th, 2011 4:59 AM

Spoiler:
I really don't think Sabo would've gone off with a new pirate crew. Instead, I would be more incluned to believe what I originally thought or he did survive and do something about Pirates. There is some speculation though for him really being dead. Considering Ace does know lots of stuff about everything, and his tattoo on his right arm which marks ASCE could mean Sabo is really dead. He never mentioned anything to Luffy, who knew at those points in Arabasta and Marineford that Sabo was dead. Just a possibility, but I'l still sticking with him joining up with the Revolutionary Army. Maybe then Robin will know about him and he might ask her, if he's alive not to mention anything to Luffy.


Wow that's a long spoiler. :P Anyway, I think we should get some discussion up in here.

What's your favourite One Piece arc and why?

thedestinedblade June 25th, 2011 12:30 PM

Spoiler:
Only problem with him joining the Revolutionaries theory is that after all these years, wouldn't he be well known by now? Even as a kid, you see what kind of potential he had.


Along with the Marineford Arc, the Jaya Arc is probably at the top of my list as well. It was pretty short in length, but it really had the pirate feel to it. Blackbeard giving Luffy that little speech was great. :D Then Luffy destroying the big-time rookie Bellamy is an unforgettable moment too. There was also a short part where they show a couple of the Shichibukai meeting in Mariejoas (World Government capital) and those kinda of parts were always interesting to me.

Alternative June 26th, 2011 9:34 PM

Episode 504
Spoiler:
To be honest, despite me not liking the saga so much because of it being all flashback-esque and some bits getting boring, I actually really liked the ending to this saga. I still believe Sabo's with Dragon and the Revolutionary Army, and my opinion on that is strengthened even more now because of Dragon being at the Celestial Dragon going to the Nobles' village. Luffy's time growing up more, his and Ace's bond strengthening even further, and both their departures were interesting for me to watch. It was really a great episode to end the flashbacks. :)

Next I think will happen is Luffy will finish grieving over Ace, complain that he's not strong enough to protect everyone and become the Pirate King, and then go off to his secluded island to start training, in which I expect him to master Haki. Then probably the final update on the other straw hats, since I felt especially Robin, Brook, Franky's and Zoro's storys were lacking in the end; they ended with a cliffhanger, so I expect them to get more story time.

Also, it's about time we see Luffy actually punch that sea king.

ソラ June 29th, 2011 11:49 PM

Oh yeah read the recent Manga chapter today.
Spoiler:
Didnt show much of the strawhats tho D:


And I cant wait till the anime
Spoiler:
Luffy, is gonna go in deep training woooo, and then we are gonna find out how the others are doing, then 2y skip
I'm excited.

If people who dont read the manga, please I really advise you not to look at the spoilers. (specially the anime spoilers) Like forreal (:

@Alternative question: My favorite arc is the Water 7/Enies Lobby Arc; that arc made me sit at the edge of my chair during the fight between Lucci, and Luffy

Zameric June 30th, 2011 8:40 AM

Manga 630
Spoiler:
A look back on some of the other commanders under Hordy.
It was actually kind of goofy, which is what I expect from Oda.
I wonder what's up with Hordy, though.
I think I'm most looking forward to a fight between Zoro and Hyouzou. :)

thedestinedblade June 30th, 2011 9:28 AM

Spoiler:
All I gotta say is that Hodi is one lame villain. Popping even more pills, lol. Wonder what the hell he'll transform into?

Alternative July 1st, 2011 6:56 AM

I'm starting to go through one of my One Piece fantasia phases, since idk what to call them. Pretty much I'm obsessed with One Piece and I must watch more of it. Right now I've been watching Thriller Bark and going back and watching some cool fights, like Usopp and Chopper in Alubarna. :)

Zameric July 6th, 2011 12:21 PM

Manga 631
Spoiler:
I wonder who that is chatting it up and having a drink with Crocus...

Decken is plotting something diabolical. :/

Hody Jones transformed! o.0
I have a feeling that he's probably gonna be close to Luffy's strength now.

Wooo! The Ryugu Princes are pretty bad-***. :D
But I kind of doubt they'll be able to beat the New Fishman Pirates alone.

Uh-oh, where is Luffy? >.<

Alternative July 6th, 2011 7:49 PM

You know, I'm totally regretting skipping the Thriller Bark arc, it's really great and funny. The fights do seem lacking though, especially Zoro's and Sanji's against Ryuuma and Absalom, respectively. I just adore all of Nami's parts in this arc though, from her being typical Nami to being Namizou, and "really a man" just to avoid getting married to Abaslom. That stuff makes me laugh so much. XD;

Anyways, episode 505
Spoiler:
I thought this was a nica episode. It's good to see that we're back into canon apart from all those flash backs. They were good and all, but canon is so much better. :D Luffy's just mourning over Ace still and comes to the realisation to think about what he still has instead of what he's lost. I can only see two possibilities about what episode will happen next. Either he'll go off and start training in his secluded island, or they'll show the other Straw Hats again with Nami and Franky first. Either way the timeskip is surely happening soon.

Hurray, you've become an obssesed One Piece fan like me :P
Thriller Bark arc was a good one have to say, again not only does it have comical moments but really cool fights.

Episode 505

Spoiler:
That was a freakin sad episode, I did cry I did dang it! When Luffy started to see what he had going for him and who he had to protect after all I just couldn't hold it in much longer. Next weeks episode just epic! I mean, we return to Zoro and the rest of the crew, if I remember right, we get to see the crew's reactions to what happened to Luffy. Its been so long since we've the Straw hat crew wow. The animation for next weeks episode looks really good too. Also forgot to say, hope we get some LuffyxHancock scenes maybe before we go to his crew, they did that while heading to the War why not here?


Newest chapter..

Spoiler:
Another chapter without the Straw hats but at least we get more foreshadowing of who they'll be fighting and what will happen. Looks like it will be Luffy V.S Decken first round, than Luffy V.S Hodi in his finale forms I'm sure of it. What I'm thinking is, Jinbe will be defeated by Hodi and Luffy will have to step in after him and the rest of the crew saving Zoro and the others, I think that's where Luffy went. Than again, I also have a theory that Luffy and the rest of his crew could have gotten attacked by Caribou, they hold him back from stealing the Mermaid Princess and of course defeat him. One by one, all of Hodi's people will go down, hey'll be sorry that he challenged the Straw hats in the end bahaha!! Speaking of the Mermaid Princess, wow was she epic or what? Loved what she did here. Luffy V.S Jinbe, I do hope we get some sort of a flashback about what happened to them, they have to in order for us to find out what happened to Luffy :D I don't think Luffy got defeated at all, please!! He clearly just either understood what Jinbe needed to and went off to rescue his other team mates, or again got attacked by Caribou, just idea's here. I felt this was a good chapter, can't wait to see what happened to Luffy and his crew. Oh yah, Decken what's with you? Get over the girl, she's clearly into LuffyXD

thedestinedblade July 7th, 2011 12:28 PM

Finally caught up to the current episode

505!

Spoiler:
I remember tearing up pretty badly reading this part in the manga and the anime was no exception. The last few episodes were pretty heart wrenching. Ace reading Sabo's letter, and Luffy telling Ace not to die. :'( Of course Luffy counting off his crewmembers with his fingers and Dadan crying over Garp was pretty emotional too. Still a couple episodes before they decide if they wanna go straight into the time-skip or have some filler training arc.

Spoiler:
I have two theories about how this will play out. We'll either see 1-2 more episodes depicting how Luffy gets to his training and starts, and the others' training is just merely flashbacks from them back when they all meet up at the Sabaody Archipelago. This is somewhat backed up by Zoro's asking Mihawk to train him in the manga. Or, we'll see 5-6 more episodes, with the extra four episodes about their training. This could be a possibility since the other two small parts where they did this sort of thing (Nami in Weatheria, Zoro with Perona etc.) kind of felt like they were ended with a cliffhanger in some parts. I felt Robin and Zoro could have some more explanation, but Nami's seemed to end nicely.

PearlShipper4Life July 7th, 2011 9:10 PM

Spoiler:
I think will just get a few episodes of the gang training, including Luffy. I was always intrested in what happened during those times. So, if they want to add things like that in, feel free to do so Toei.


Episode 506 was a pretty good episode.

Spoiler:
While animation was a little off during Robin's part it was still delt with well. My favorite part was Zoro's, his reaction was perfect too you could really tell how much he cares for Luffy. Really though, every one's reaction was just epic! Next weeks, Hancock is back and looks like will get some HancockxLuffyness :P

thedestinedblade July 9th, 2011 11:44 PM

Episode 506

Spoiler:
She actually looked better. Her eyes looked even more blue than usual. Either way, I'm glad they got everyone out of the way instead of spending an episode for two crew-members each. We're almost there!

Alternative July 11th, 2011 7:19 AM

Spoiler:
I thought the episode was really great. Showing everyone's reactions, and just how much they all care for Luffy is just adorable. <3 Zoro's was really cool, and I'm hoping to see just some training in the next episode with at least Zoro, Usopp and maybe Franky. Apart from that, I just want this timeskip to happen like, now. :D

Also Robin's stuffed up animation, and Usopp's fatness. XD;


In not so spoilered news, I decided to go and watch some more previous fights again, and started with Nami's fight against Miss Doublefinger. When she first gets her Clima Tact and Usopp treats it as just something to use at parties. XD;

Zameric July 16th, 2011 1:56 PM

Manga 632
Spoiler:
Oh wow...I didn't expect Mr. 9 and Miss Monday to hook up. >.>

Oh course, the Princes were beaten...
At least it sounds like they but up a decent fight.
Those stupid energy steroids are like a total hack... >.>

Jinbe captured? Really?!
Luffy better be in that shark or this is just getting stupid...

Interesting to find out Madam Shirley and Arlong are related.
I hope she doesn't die, she's pretty hot. D:

I kind of figured Hody was behind the Queen's assassination.

Decken is just a total nutcase, nuff said. xD


Anime 506
Well, it's progressing as normal, but I wonder if it'll go into a short bunch of fillers to expand on what happened in the manga. Whichever it'll do, should be some good stuff in the next few episodes.

PearlShipper4Life July 19th, 2011 11:46 PM

Episode 507

Spoiler:
I loved the LuffyxHancockness, well I mean most of it was from Hancock's side but it was still cute. Hancock was really funny too, loved her ignoring the man who saved her life for Luffy, that part cracked me upXD Usopp's scenes was more emotional than funny, which is different for him. I almost cried to tell you the truth, I always did love his and Luffy's friendship. Next episode looks to be Nami's/Franky's feelings on what happened to Luffy. No new episode next week, don't know why Toei did this but guess they feel they need to let Oda get far a head meh.


Next Chapter..

Spoiler:
I do think Luffy and the gang will be back next chapter, whether by hidding in the shark which would be soo Luffy bahaha!! OR they are fighting off Caribou, he was going to go after the Mermaid Princess next so it'd make sense. I'm thinking they'll go back a bit, show what happened to Luffy V.S Jinbe and show what happened to Luffy and his group.


I hope the next episode has some more LuffyxHancockness ^

Alternative July 21st, 2011 6:17 AM

I thought the newest episode was alright. It seems to be moving slowly though, which I don't really like. :(

In other news, I'm actually going to an anime convention on the weekend which should be fun. I'm going as Sanji, which will most likely be terrible. I'm gonna try and use Diablo Jamble maybe if that was possible. :P My friend is going as Luffy and another person is apparently going as Zoro, without three swords and no marimo hair. Oh well, it should be fun. I'm gonna try and either get some One Piece stuff or the DVDs.

PearlShipper4Life July 28th, 2011 3:54 PM

Oh sweet, so your the Monster TrioXD Ok, new chapter this week..

Spoiler:
Luffy was freakin epic, first off the whole shark thing seemed so him Bahaha!! Than his kick to Hodi wow, just got my respect even more. What he said about if were friends or foe, one of the things I love about his character. Nami of course what she did was pretty cool too. That last scene where every one was together and ready for battle, almost felt like old times and they looked happy about it to me. Man, can't wait for the next chapter.

thedestinedblade July 28th, 2011 4:44 PM

Chapter 633

Spoiler:
It was getting a bit stale until this chapter. Luffy giving Hody the one-shot was great, but you know he's far from done roiding up, lol. A bit of a surprise that Shirahoshi actually knew Hody was her mother's killer and kept it to herself. Guess she's not as a weak as she seems if lived with that secret for 10 years.

Zameric July 30th, 2011 8:25 PM

Manga 633
Spoiler:
**** YEAH, STRAWHATS!!

The last page made this chapter twice as epic as it would have normally been.
Who was it that predicted the "trojan shark"? xD
I'm sure Hody will get back up in the chapter though.

PearlShipper4Life August 9th, 2011 10:32 PM

Chapter 634

Spoiler:
Ok, Luffy once again shows why he should be the captain and why hes so freakin epic! How he took out all those guys like that, the way he uses his CoC wow. Than we have him rather having meat all to himself than giving away and being a hero bahah!! Hes just so awesome! Hes gotta best main character ever! Next chapter, we should be seeing the entire crew fighting, can't wait!

This was a really good episode I thought. They've actually decided to go to the island and start training for good now. There was a straw hat montage at the end of the episode and omg it was amazing. :D It also seems like this is the very last episode before the new world next week I'm guessing because at the end instead of saying "to be continued" like it always does it says "Go to New World" so I'm assuming it's the last episode. This is way too exciting. :DDD


Also apparently if you and the person you like says each names 10 times, you're engaged. XD;

I really enjoyed this episode. The episode title kind of led me into expecting a little more, but still a very good episode nonetheless. It's good to see how much they've all grown. And I can't wait for the next episode, in which we will probably get to some of Luffy's (and the rest of the crew's) new abilities/powers. I had been 'marathoning' One Piece for quite a while, so waiting still hasn't quite sunk into me, lol. :D

I reset my laptop to it's factory image settings because it's been slow lately.
I guess that got rid of the problem keeping me from PC, incidentally.
Although, I thought I had tried to get on PC with other computers at home, and failed.
Whatever the reason or circumstance, I'm happy to be able to get on now.

Manga 641
Spoiler:
The struggle to stop Noah continues on.

Apparently there is some secret hidden within Noah.
Maybe it has something to do with the void century.

What the hell did Hody tell Fukaboshi?
It shocked him enough to allow Hody to stab Fukaboshi.
It also seems like Shirahoshi and Luffy heard it too.
So why did we get to see what he said?
And what is this about Hody's true form ?

This chapter left me a little confused; anyone else?

Anime 518
Spoiler:
I was somewhat disappointed with this episode. It was moving pretty slowly for my taste, considering how fast they've been going the past few episodes. I think the fact that they hyped up that Luffy was going to do something amazing didn't help either. But nonetheless it was a good, but slow episode.

VIVA SABAODY!

Zameric October 27th, 2011 9:27 PM

Hmm, no one has posted in the club for a while now...
But at least it hasn't dropped to the second page of the club list. :D

Manga 643
Spoiler:
Over all, this chapter wasn't anything epic.
But it still a good chapter, especially the ending. 8D

Hody's flashback was interesting, and a bit revolting at certain parts.
It illustrated how his empty hatred grew really well, I thought.
Also, Hody looks as ugly as a great white shark now...

The page were Hody introduces the Energy Steroids was odd.
It kind of made them seem like something more than just power pills.
Ikaros called them "legendary". Make me wonder if there's more to them...

Fukaboshi's crying pleas and Luffy promise to help made me bleed some man tears. ;p
And then BAM!, Luffy launches a FALCON BAMF punch!
According to the translator on Mangastream, its name in Japanese is similar to Ace's Fire Fist (Hiken).

Overall, this chapter was pretty cool. :D

I love how Chopper can control his monster point now.
If he doesn't get a new bounty in the next arc, I'm gonna be ticked. >.>

I was kind of hoping for a better fight with Zoro and Hyouzou.
Maybe the anime team will extend it a bit...

Brook's freezing cuts are pretty bad-***. :P

mfw Franky fired his laz0r, was pretty much the same as Usopp and Chopper. xD

I wonder what the next chapter will be about.

Charliezard December 5th, 2011 10:55 PM

I'd very much like to join this club. I'm a relatively new One Piece fan. I don't exactly remember when I started watching the anime but the manga I only really recently got into and that's weakened my obsession with the anime.


648
Spoiler:
All I can say is "Jinbei, omg!" I'm half hoping he doesn't join much for the same reason I hope that Sabo and Bon Clay are never "brought back" to life... As cool as it would be, imo it would weaken the story although not to the same extent.

.:CoralSoda:. December 6th, 2011 4:15 PM

I would really like to join this club as well. I'm a huge One Piece fan and I always eagerly await a new chapter every week.

648
Spoiler:
This chapter caught me off guard a bit. I didn't expect him to ask him to join his crew. Also do we even know if Luffy is stronger then Jinbe? It'd be weird for him to be stronger. But I would also kind of like him to say "no". I'd rather have a new character be the next new nakama. But I think he'll join in the end anyways.

thedestinedblade December 6th, 2011 4:25 PM

Chapter 648

Spoiler:
Well, everything leading up to that point where he asked Jinbe to join makes it seems like a sure thing for me. Even to the point where I can ignore his bounty, strength within crew, and all that other stuff.

A lot of people find him boring, but I've liked the guy every since he consoled Luffy on Amazon Lily.

Plus, that smile Luffy had cannot be refused. :)

Disko_Rock December 6th, 2011 4:26 PM

I'll join as well. I just finished the Enies Lobby arc in the anime and am taking a little rest before going any further. Marathoning 3 arcs straight takes a lot out of me :c

Charliezard December 6th, 2011 5:22 PM

Enies Lobby was awesome but imo One Piece is just constantly getting better :P

648
Spoiler:
I've really only met with support for Jinbei, everyone I talk to thinks he's awesome and wants him in the crew except me and a friend from uni. It does seem really unlikely that Jinbei will turn him down, what with how it was all set up but there's still a chance! No offence, Jinbei, you're awesome I just don't think it's right to have you in the crew :P I agree with Coral, a completely new face would be awesome. But as someone said before Jinbei fills the roll of helmsman and is strong enough to survive in the New World and not be a liability, he would definately be an asset. The only thing I can think of that would make him say no is that apparently Oda said he wouldn't add anyone to the crew who was stronger than Sanji but ahh well, whatever happens I'm sure it'll turn out dandy.

.:CoralSoda:. December 7th, 2011 8:25 AM

New chapter is out and it's good :3.

649
Spoiler:
Jinbe said no, for now at least. Which I guess takes care of people wanting him to join and people not wanting him to join. We both get something. Then we have the classic huge One Piece party/feast that is accompanied after every big battle. Then we get to find out some more about the poneglyphs and what they mean and it's always nice to hear some information about the void century.

thedestinedblade December 7th, 2011 8:48 AM

649

Spoiler:
lol, I don't know if his response pleases either side. But he is a man of his word, and if he says he'll join down the line, then he will.

Now I wonder how the revelation of Shirahoshi being an ancient weapon will play out? Will he keep her there or send her off? This clearly points to a couple more chapters before this arc is done.

Charliezard December 7th, 2011 3:11 PM

I'm actually really happy with how the Jinbei thing was done. I'm pumped for more Joy Boy stuff and seeing what happens with Shirahoshi, even more than before.

I wonder if Pluton was actually some great ability too.
Maybe Robin will reference back to it in the next chapter.

thedestinedblade December 14th, 2011 9:10 AM

Chapter 650 - I'll paste what I posted on another forum. Great chapter btw.

Spoiler:
Well, I guess this chapter makes up for not having one next week. Lot of stuff going down!

Blackbeard becoming one of the four Emperors isn't really surprising, but the fact they're devil fruit hunting is! What's the purpose for this? Is this guy able to absorb even more than 2 in his body? Or is it just for the rest of his crew?

I guess even if they're powers were equal, Akainu (or Sakazuki now since he's been promoted) possessing Aokiji's natural enemy of fire, might have been the deciding factor. Apparently he's disappeared and no one knows his whereabouts. I smell a future ally for the Strawhats. ;D

[email protected] and his crew. Got what they deserved.

Curious to see what will happen to Caribou. He was just blasted away by Luffy, but his crew just arrived on Fishman Island too.

I loved this chapter! One of the best ones in a while.

I like that we got to know more about the ancient weapons.
But I'm a bit disappointed that there are only three; power of trinities, I guess.
I bet Pluton is still out there somewhere, it can't be dead...

I wasn't expecting the fight for the Fleet Admiral position.
I was really hoping Aokiji would become the next Fleet Admiral.
As Jinbe said, with Akainu leading, the Marines will become more antagonistic.

It'll be very interesting to see how Aokiji comes into play later on.

Caribou is just a sick creep. >.>
I don't think we'll see much of him after this arc.
But he is very good at sneaking and running away.

I just laughed at the New Fishman Pirates. xD
I think Hammond might get a short cover story, if Robin didn't end-up killing him.

Yeah, I wasn't surprised either, pretty obvious.

Sounded like he's getting DF powers from the rest of his crew.
But I think only he can have two at once, and I hope it's only two at once...


I guess even if they're powers were equal, Akainu (or Sakazuki now since he's been promoted) possessing Aokiji's natural enemy of fire, might have been the deciding factor. Apparently he's disappeared and no one knows his whereabouts. I smell a future ally for the Strawhats. ;D
He also has insane endurance. >.<

Fans seem to easily think anyone will join the SH crew, or at least fight alongside them.

My replies are in the spoiler, in bold.

I'm not sure if anyone still watches the anime here or not, but I'll still put my thoughts up about it. :)

Anime 528
Spoiler:
Can't be bothered writing up a full summary, so I'll do it in dot points.
- Other straw hats (except Brook) got stranded
- Sanji had a giant nosebleed
- Luffy was a boss
- They need some special blood or something

Moral of the episode: don't be a pervert, or you can die. xD

Manga 651
Spoiler:
Big Mom's recent appearance make her look like a character out of a Miyazaki movie. xD

Anyone else notice that her real name seems to be in western format?
Usually characters' names in One Piece are family name first, and then given name.
But I'm pretty sure her given name is Charlotte.
There have been a few other characters like this; Edward Newgate, Marshall D. Teach, Demalo Black, Trafalgar Law, Jean Bart.

I was wondering when Luffy would throw his weight around and start declaring islands under his protection. xD
But I wonder what Big Mom is like as a fighter.
I'd laugh if she tries to eat Luffy, but can't since he's a rubber man. xD

Chapter 653
Spoiler:
Not a lot is really happening in the latest chapter but I am really excited for what is coming up. I'm curious to see how this whole thing with Big Momma will turn out with Luffy standing up to her, the exploding treasure and that fat lady pirate from Thriller Bark (I forget her name but iirc she's connected to Big Momma) so I can see that changing things. I'm also excited to see Smoker again sometime soon and to see how the Strawhat's fight on land!

Also, since Jinbei turned him down (for now) what does everyone think of potential new crew members? I think a dancer would be cool and would go nicely with Brook's music. The dancer could be to Sanji what Brooke is to Zoro? (A dancer could be a girl as well which would mean more fanservice and One Piece really likes it's fanservice...). It would also fit with what Oda said about any potential new crew members, he won't include anyone stronger than Sanji or anyone weaker than Usopp. Brook is weaker than Zoro, also uses swords and has comedic relief. Dancer is weaker than Sanji? Fights with feet? Provides more comedic relief and fanservice? It makes sense to me although I'm just trying to back up what I think would be cool.


What is everyone else looking forward to in the New World?

Oh and, not that anyone cares but this is Charliezard. This is a new account so I'll join this club again.

Zameric January 24th, 2012 3:22 PM

Welcome to the One Piece club, Juicy. :)
I've never met you before, so do you have a nickname you like to go by?

I'm most looking forward to...
Spoiler:
A fight between the Straw Hats and G-5 (Smoker and Tashigi)


Anime 532

Spoiler:
I haven't been watching the anime much, since it's pretty much the same as the manga.
It's interesting to see the color schemes of all the different Fishman Island characters.

I was also surprised a bit at Hody and Decken's voices.
I guess I just expected them to sound younger.
But Hody's wiki page does say he is 30 years old.

And after some earlier wiki walking, I found out that Shirahoshi is only 16. >.>

The meeting between Hody and Decken seemed appropriately more epic and ominous than in the manga. xD

Spoiler:
Well, Mr. 2 Bon Clay would have said hello to that....
I think I'd prefer a female dancer, partly because it would be more interesting, and partly because a male dancer pirate would probably just leave fans disappointed.

Juicy January 24th, 2012 11:16 PM

Well, I wrote it in tiny, crossed out text on the bottom of my post but this is a new account, I'm Charliezard. I don't really care what I'm called, Charlie, Juicy whatever works.

I haven't been watching the anime much lately either although my brother just started watching it again (He got up to like 230 a while back and then stopped) so I've been watching a bit of the first episodes with him (And I did just watch the Arabasta arc myself). I just don't pay attention to the anime as it comes out anymore, the manga is so much easier. The main things I look forward to in the anime is the fights and Brook's songs. Other than that I just don't feel the need to watch it when I can read it so much faster. That being said the anime is a nice change of pace here and there and is a lot of fun to watch while eating. Eating and reading is a total pain.

Anyway, I figured I'd watch the anime and...
Spoiler:
I said it before and I'll say it again, Usopp is a total badass after the 2 year skip. Watching this episode after earlier One Piece really shows how much he's grown... I love it!


Spoiler:
I'd think the fact that there's 7 males and 2 females also hints that maybe a future crewmember would be a female although it's certainly not solid evidence at all... Hell, we don't even know for sure that there will be any more crew members. Future nakama could easily be allied pirate crews (I mean, it's highly likely that people in the New World would have their crews pretty much set.). Although they could really do with a helmsman...


Unrelated but why don't they make swords/bullets out of seastone? Or at least coat them with it?

Zameric January 25th, 2012 6:52 PM

Manga 654
Spoiler:
It's nice to see that Lola is doing fine. I wonder what her bounty is now.

I think Chopper is secretly related to Pedobear, somehow... >.>

Turducken, fish style! xD
I also lawled at the blobfish.

Whitestrom? What is this I don't even...
Was that a bad typo/translation?

I love how they reacted when Nami said to cut the fishy Turducken loose. xD

The encounter with the Island Whales was cool, but why do they have scars like Laboon?

Epic entrance into the New World is epic. :p

I saw that. It's kind of why I was wondering. I like Charlie. xD

Spoiler:
Well, Nami Usopp and Chopper (human form) all seemed to share the duty on the Going Merry.
Franky (and Sanji sometimes) seems to be the main helmsman for the Thousand Sunny.
Jinbe is also a competent helmsman.

I don't know, really. Smoker (and Wiper, sort of) has been the only one to use Sea-Prism Stone in an actual weapon.
I think Usopp should get some Sea-Prism Stone arsenals.

Manga 654
Spoiler:
Can't say I know fish names but yeah, that blobfish thing was funny. That reaction was priceless and so typical! I'm glad they didn't end up cutting it loose, they would have been so sad :(

To confuse Brook, duh... lol. They carefully planned those scars for when the Strawhats came by to make Brook think he was seeing Laboon.

I'm so pumped right now! It's all happening, they're officially on the same sea as Shanks! It's about to get real!


Haha, Charlie is what most people tend to call me. Do you have anything other than Zameric you like to be called?

Spoiler:
Yeah, but you'd think that since they're heading into the most dangerous sea in the world that perhaps someone who is a really experienced helmsman would leave them a little better off than the current crew (That was the main argument for Jinbei joining that I noticed).

If the marines have to go up against people like Ace and other logia types then you'd think they would invest in weapons like that... And if pirates wanted to be able to defend themselves from the admirals then you'd think they'd do the same. It just seems like something that should be utilised a lot more than it is but maybe it's really rare and using it for prisons and restraints is more important.

Spoiler:
I think the main reason it isn't used more, is because the Marines some how have exclusive access to most of it. It's an otherwise rare material.

Juicy January 29th, 2012 12:35 AM

Zam it is, it's short and easy to type!

Spoiler:
There's a chance we may even start to see more sea stone weapons since we've entered the New World. I mean, it would really help marines go up against Logia types like Ace without needing to be trained in Haki which ain't easy... And seeing as it's the New World there's bound to be more DF users and in turn, more logia types.

Zameric February 1st, 2012 3:26 PM

Manga 655
Spoiler:

Does Iceburg's new secretary remind anyone else of Robin from Strong World?

So onward to the Island of fire and ice?!
And it wasn't even registered on the log pose.
I like how Nami is using Sea Clouds; a tie back to the Skypia arc.
I wonder if she can use anything other than Milky Road, though.

I'm a bit surprised by there being distinct "Samurai".
I thought though Oda might just stick to generic swordsmen.
It'll be awesome to see Zoro, and hopefully Brook, fight some Samurai.

Another thing I was surprised by was the dragon on Punk Hazard.
I didn't think Oda was much into dragons, at least for One Piece.
But after a wiki walk, I found out that Ryuma was actually from a one shot Oda did a while ago, which involves a dragon.
He also ties the one shot, Monsters, into the canon of One Piece.

Oh, and I guess it was Robin's turn for a bit of fanservice this chapter.

Juicy February 8th, 2012 5:26 PM

656
Spoiler:
Let's see... I'll cover my opinion on the last chapter as well... They were awesome. Smoker is badass, samurais = swords and swords = Zoro. I want to see Zoro fight all out. That dragon looks totally awesome, well looked. That guy they met seems like Buggy (I mean who else could be just legs and Buggy was sorta hinted as a possible Sichibukai member) but if it's just a guy without a torso then that'd be cool xD Basically an awesome 2 chapters and I have more to say but I can't be bothered.

Zameric February 9th, 2012 2:20 PM

Manga 656
Spoiler:
Aww, I'm a bit disappointed that they killed the dragon.
Why didn't Luffy try to use his Haki on it?
I hope there are going to be some more dragons...

Why the hell was Brook affected by the sleeping gas?! 0.o
At least they're probably gonna leave him on the ship...

Mr. Legs can talk, is tall, and can sense aura...
I wonder if that's actually Haki, if it's an ability unique to him, or if it'll be some new general ability.
Of course Luffy want's him to join his crew. XD
Not much weirder than a talking, walking skeleton that can sing and swordplay. :p

Don't forget Brook, he's a pretty amazing swordsman too. :p

I thought Mr. Legs might be somehow related to Buggy too.
But really, with Oda's imagination, he could be anything. xD

Please live, One Piece club! D:

Manga 658
Spoiler:
I loved this chapter!
Several important questions were answered.
But at the same time, several new question have arose.
Plus some cool action scenes and even some humor. :D

I'm fairly clueless on what the Master is.
I want to say a Logia DF user, but if so, he's using it in a way we haven't seen before.

I was feeling just like Sanji was, yay for Nami!

Who was the Harpie talking to?

Just what kind of experiments was Vegapunk running?
And is the Master continuing them on now, or were they something else all together?

DRYbowser3012 March 1st, 2012 12:51 PM

PLEEEEEEEEASE let me join the club!
I love One Piece <3

Manga 659
Spoiler:
This was a great chapter!

Smoker is a really perceptive and deductive man, I'd hate to have to fight with him.
I bet he'll probably become an admiral before the series is over. :p

I think the gas that those strange guys are using, is derived from their master.
He might have some kind of poisonous gas type Logia DF power.

It seems like the centaurs are a separate group from the Master and his gas-men.
But I'm thinking that Law is some how allied with the Master.

Oh and, holy ****, Trafalgar Law is a Warlord now!
And damn, his former bounty got up to 440 million Beris!
I wonder what he did to get it raised that high.

I have watched most of the 4kids dub and 2 episodes of the new dub

wardon561 April 8th, 2012 2:21 PM

I've watched every dub and every subtitled episode except most of the fillers....Fave anime.

Zameric April 10th, 2012 4:13 PM

Hello and welcome, TylerSymes.
Did you watch the 4kids' dub when it was on 4kids?
It's kind of hard to come by, now a days.
I think you'll like the Funimation dub better, though. ;p

I was a bit bummed that there was no manga chapter last week.
Hopefully there'll be one out for us tomorrow, though.

I'm sorry that I forgot to welcome you too, DRYbowser3012.

Are you also joining the club, wardon561?

ToriSora April 24th, 2012 6:02 PM

tbh I love Sanji :) Oh I just joined btw :)
I used to watc hthe 4kids dub but when Funi took over I can't stand the 4Kids one. No idea why. Anyway I tend to watch dub due to loving the dub voices. Sadly they took a break from the dub. :(

I watched it around 2006-2008 so yes i did watch it when it was the only dub

Hello and welcome to the club, ToriSora. :)
I think Funimation should start releasing new dubs episodes within the next couple months, I hope.

Manga 665
Spoiler:
Devil chapter coming up next!!! *shot*
Actually, I'm quite interested in what will be the cover story page for the next chapter, considering how Oda has been playing with Impel Down characters, who have Hellish themes.
And, I'm glad too see that Magellan is alright.
And that Sadi-chan didn't fall in love with Saldeth

I was laughing so hard at the first couple pages! XD
Perfect thinking on Nami's behalf, making Zoro go along with those two pervs to keep them in-line.

Franky and Robin's interaction was also really funny. xD

But this chapter also had some very serious substance.
I don't think I've ever seen Chopper so pissed off.
Caesar Clown is a messed up bastard for experimenting with drugs on children.

The "Eighty Cool Brothers"?...What is this I don't even....
If that's the correct translation, then I'd like to see Oda explain that one...
