One Piece club

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

This..is..the300threplyintheclubbutnottechnicallythe300thpost!!

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.

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]

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]

Spoiler:

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

Though anything can be possible. :P

 

[Alternative]

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]

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.

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]

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]

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]

630

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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!
