Dumping
https://tcbonepiecechapters.com/chapters/7866/one-piece-chapter-1152

This many posts with no comment is wild for an OP storytime

>>279814641
There's a second thread.

The end

>>279814687
Thanks for the dump, OP.

>>279814407
>we're specifically blocked from hearing what Gaban said to Sanji when he asked if he had CoC
>Oda even went as far to show Sanji again after the conversation got interrupted
How can you see Oda do this and not know Sanji is going to get CoC?

>>279814771
So I guess Gaban's just told him that he's potential but still needs to unlock it. Sommers will have to push him hard.

>>279814427
soooooooo he is joining or no

>>279814332 (OP)
>"wassup mah figger"
>"nooo nee-chan you mustn't ever say that!"

>>279814796
No.

>>279814356
>That clicked for me
>I wasn't able to put it into words before
>I know I can beat them
Loki is strongly implied if not confirmed to have CoC and used it to defeat a regen-user, but nobody cares

>>279814771
It’s obvious CoC bait. I can’t believe there are some retards who think this won’t happen, despite the bajillion parallels between Gaban and Sanji, and how Oda threw Usopp aside so Sanji can steal a yet another fucking arc for the third time in a row.

>>279814824
>the strongest giant in the world has CoC
No shit nigga

>>279814641
these fucking retards already discussed the chapter to exhaustion during spoilers, i'm probably the only person here who read it unspoiled

>>279814641
I thought waiting for the dump to finish was common courtesy.

>>279814605
Really like how much Shanks cares about Buggy, also the fact that the more we learn about how haxxed Shanks was only makes Blackbeard look more formidable.

>>279814687
Thanks for the dump anon. Hopefully King Harold's backstory isn't as long as Oden's or Kuma's/Bonney's but at the same time it will explain whats the deal with devil giants.

>>279814771
Watch him say the 3rd Coc user was that chick who left, referring to Nami. Otherwise I don't see why Sanji would look so shocked. Also that line about Sanji worrying about being behind Jinbei and Zoro is so out of character, I doubt it'll be in the official

>>279814796
yes

>>279814332 (OP)
so what's the twist last page of the cover story that's the only actual thing that matters going to be? what a waste of time

>>279814332 (OP)
Yamacute

this flashback is going to be huge
but the old guy was there when the guards killed his dad? hes a traitor?

>>279814928
Something related to Onigashima and Ancien Giants of course.

>>279814687
Elbaf giants are evil cunts who terrorized the world, they're not any better than CDs

>>279814955
Would you rather be raped by a human or by a giant? they're way worse

>>279814386
>Haki is a power that must be understood and tamed!!
>Your captain is one of the four emperors, you should be meticulous if you intend to have his back!!
Is anyone gonna tell him that half of Luffy's crew has no haki at all, and that one of the haki users only has observation and has only used it once in his life?

>>279814872
Im with you bro. Reading text dumps is fucking lame shit

>>279814336
Somehow Rodo is both the Sanji and the Usopp of the NGWPs

>>279814605
is this a hint that you feel the flow of time differently on Elbaph?

>>279814933
what valauble information can be in the flashback?
yeah sure seeing giants rampage is cool but what else should we expect?

>>279814356
Sounds like a confirmation that Loki has Conqueror's Haki

>>279815064
A lot of WG fuckery I assume considering Harald covers the last centuries worth of lore and interactions with the world

>>279814933
There's been theories that Jarul is the traitor, seeing as he came in with Loki, if he still is then he must've orchestrated the event rather than killing Harold himself.

>>279815064
More of an understanding about where the Oni/Demon Giants come from.

>>279814427
If Luffy says Loki seems okay I believe him.

>>279815064
>What was Harald's plan with Elbaf and the World Governement?
>Why did the guards stab Harald in the throne room?
>Why did Loki kill his dad?
Etc.

>>279814796
Maybe

>>279814407
>n-no YOU'RE the controlled opposition beta cuck shill
oda's accidental god-tier bell curve depiction of politics flares up again

>>279814487
What is this Shanks fanboying lmao

>>279815064
ideally we'll see the time when Rocks came to Elbaph and Kid Loki begged to join
We might also see an earlier composition of the Gorosei, which would inform us if any of them other than Saturn are relatively new to the job too, or if Garling's promotion is a very rare occurance
We should learn the specifics of what the WG did to Harold to break his spirit so bad, and just what the arrangement made between them was that let Harold not-so-subtly demilitarize Elbaph contrary to their desires for an army of giants

Oh, another flashback that's probably going to be way longer than it needs to be while elaborating on a character no one could give half a shit about. Great.

>>279814407
Lokibros... Our FUARKING response?

>>279814933
I’m legitimately starting to think that there’s a secret antagonist, same one who put a sword through Jarul and told/forced the guards to kill Harald.

The claw marks have to be an indicator, as Loki didn’t have a DF power then,

>>279814853
>saarjeet coping
Never gets old

>>279815298
Shut up fag

>>279814487
wtf im a zorofag now

>>279814427
Ok, I'm actually starting to think Loki might join now

>>279814332 (OP)
>>279814687
Thanks for the dump.

>>279814687
I would do this totonttas

>S...Sorry

>Shanks shocked by giant wife opening door
Bro, your Observation Haki...

>>279814356
>conqueror haki is needed to fight god's knights
Kiddbros....we're not done yet

OH
I just remembered this
it makes a bit more sense in hindsight now that we know Nika is worshiped in Elbaph and that Vegapunk regularly visited Elbaph in secret
The more I think about it though, the less likely it seems that the nika fruit itself was Elbaph's national treasure. If it were you'd think at least one of the giant pirates would have seen Gear 5 and gone "Hang on, did you eat that fruit that's meant to be protected by our royal family?"

>>279814487
Chapter is chock full of bases for theories. Here's one. Gaban recognized Imu's haki from the castle when he turned Harald into a demon and he actually didn't think Loki was truly innocent up until now.

>>279814542
Seems to be a different hammer...

>>279814332 (OP)

>>279814487
really hope when zoro eventually meets shanks he just goes straight for the kill cause he knows luffy wont go for it

I wonder how strong was prime Harald

>>279815404
>is so distracted by bathing with another man that he doesn't even notice a 50 foot tall milf in his vicinity

>>279815437
The super fruit will be Loki's one.

>>279814877
For what it's worth, in Japanese he is talking more about public opinion of him than power levels.

>>279814336
oh yeah, Rodo exists

>>279814542
>Now we've got a whole generation of peace-addled brats who can't even hold a weapon!
It's true, he's right.

>>279814427
Does Loki in Myth can change sizes right? Otherwise I don't see how will he fit in the sunny

>>279814605
SHANKS = RAT

>>279814332 (OP)
What is Ulti saying here?

LOL

What was the point of Chopper running to Scopper to learn how to injure the enemies when he just mentions it to Luffy as a second hand conversation?

Why aren't the SH trying to learn this stuff to help protect themselves and each other?

>>279815499
Shut up Zoro

>>279815466
Shanks is gay

>>279814427
Luffy you goddamned crackhead

>>279814569
Wtf Loki is based as fuck

>>279815509
>What was the point of Chopper running to Scopper to learn how to injure the enemies when he just mentions it to Luffy as a second hand conversation?
Chopper saved Gyattban's life.

>>279815509
Because he's urgently in need of medical attention.

>>279815509
>JUST learn CoC bro

>>279815359
Is it me or has Zoro been being unusually rude/cold this arc. Like he usually larps as being a cool guy despite being a goof, but he's never this much of an asshole.

>>279815506
See >>279814798

>>279815373
He says it seems "funny/interesting"
"he seems okay" is practically a mistranslation in my view.

>>279814798
It's okay, THE Kaido gave her the pass.

>>279815474
Yeah that'd make more sense, Sanji would banter about bounties, but about powerlevels is such a stretch

>>279815551
Meant to reply to >>279815136

>>279815532
He's jealous of Luffy's admiration for Shanks. Also Shanks has beat Mihawk in a fight whereas, admittedly years ago, Zoro was like an ant trying to suplex a battleship vs Mihawk.

Why'd they make the tranny hot?

>>279815578
>Also Shanks has beat Mihawk in a fight
Why isn't Shanks known as the World's Strongest Swordsman then?

>>279814427

>>279815595
Get a job you unfunny nigga

>>279815595
Not a tranny. She dresses in a feminine way, is okay with her massive tits. This is you just getting awful American politics tangled up with things. She's basically larping as Oden because he's cool to her, not because she identifies as a male in general. If Oden was a woman, she'd still do it. It's like if you pretended to be an aeroplane or car when you were a kid, it doesn't mean you have some mentally ill desire to be a soulless machine - you just think planes and cars are cool.

>>279814356
same energy

>>279815578
I don't think Shanks ever beat Mihawk, more so that they tied with each other numerous times, and that was a prime Shanks. The more we learn of Shanks the more it hypes of Mihawk (and I guess Blackbeard to an extent also)

>>279814332 (OP)
>One faggot doesn't even have CoC while the other faggot has it, but can't control it
Why the FUCK is Shitji and Shitro so useless?

>>279815658
The opposite.
Harald obviously was the turned one.

>>279815606
Because he's not a kenshi or whatever the Jap word is. He's not dedicated to the sword in a Bushido kind of way, he just uses one. It's the difference between a man with a gun and a soldier.

>>279815667
Cope?

>>279815324
That's my working assumption. The big question in my mind is whether this potential unrevealed antagonist is related to Shanks and his prior meetings with Harald.

>>279815443
kek

>>279815509
>I need to prevent this guy from dying so he can provide potentially vital information

What part of this is confusing to you? Are you getting enough sleep?

>>279814605
Wtf, Shanks is clean shaven! And the scribbles make him look 60 in that one panel.

>>279815606
Cause nobody gives a damn about that title except Zoro and Mihawk. Literally almost never mentioned by anyone else.

>>279814336
Oh god Gerd-chan is so cute

>>279815668
No it isn't "awful american politics". It's Oda's terrible execution of every concept in Wano. What a dogshit arc.

>>279815443
KEK

>>279815766
Nah.

>>279815692
Look at the page again. All the guards have horns, and Harald doesn't.

>>279815751
Does this mean Chopper is going to learn Haki to assist the crew and help fight the demons?

Because the way you're describing the events is in a way where Chopper helped Gyaban relay the information to other characters.

>>279815801
Did you forget that that Harald cut off his horns?
Also the guards at the entrance have horns too, it could just be the helmet.

>>279815606
because Mihawk is the one with the reputation for having a 100+ win streak against every swordsman that's challenged him.
It doesn't even matter if that's actually true or not, the un-universe hype and rumors about him are why people say he's the world's strongest swordsman

>>279815689
>Why the FUCK is Shitji and Shitro so useless?
They just are. Kekffy is the only one carrying these bums and he's a fucking retard.

>>279814628
>Shanks about to tell Ripley about all the hookers Gaban fucked
KEK

Loki is DEFINITELY joining. I have 0 doubts now. Luffy really really wants him

>>279815324
If Elbaf's fruit is a zoan (of course it will be), the claws marks may have come from whoever retrieved the fruit, ate it, then busted out of the castle.

>>279815828
Fucking LOSERS.

Interesting that both Jarul and Loki were summoned by Harald before his imminent death.
Was it a trap or a last call of help by the king?

>>279814356
Loki fought against Ratnks the holy knight while he was still a regen merchant

>>279815827
Except Shanks duel with Mihawk is extremely famous, even WB remarked on it
If Shanks had won, absolutely everyone would know that and therefore consider him the WSS instead

>>279815443
lmfao

>>279814792
Or he said something shmarmy like "You got something better, LOVE!".

>>279814487
>swear on our godS
God of War Elbaf incoming

>>279814656
>>279814687
The second coming of our beloved Oden-sama!

>>279815766
It is. No one in Japan thinks of Yamato as a tranny yet on the US English wiki they use male pronouns as if she's actually mean to be trans representation as opposed to a fairly immature girl larping as her hero. It happened before with Persona 4 when Americans thought Kanji was meant to be gay when the entire point of his story is that liking feminine things (sewing) doesn't mean you love cock. He was just paranoid about it.

Same with Naoto being trans when again the whole point was she was insecure no-one would take her seriously as a girl so dressed as a boy. Worldwide, people got it. In America they took the exact opposite message from the intended one due to current day politics.

>>279815916
>Yamato
>Persona 4
Faggots are attracted to those things because they're shit for faggots. The nitpicking specificity of it doesn't matter.

>>279815861
Pure fucking TRASH.

>>279814771
Sanji doesn't have CoC, but "Vinsmoke" Sanji does.

>>279814386
shit zoroach agenda translation

>>279815785
He just wanted to hang out with his bro...

I can't think if anything more cucked than being an Usopp fan right now, even CHOPPER has been more essential to the plot of Elbalf.

>>279815916
You say that yet there's ppl in these threads who insist Kiku is a crossdresser

>>279815958
>Usopp fan
doesn't exist

>Yamatranny cope
Yep, the character who explicitly said "I BECAME A MAN" didn't actually mean she transitioned, she totally meant that she was just larping as Oden, that's why she insisted on being called Kaido's son, which is what Oden was.

>>279815957
I genuinely hope Buggy and Shanks reconcile fully before one of them dies (probably Shanks first).

>>279814427
>The invite panel is done with a don
Yep he's joining.

>>279814427
>TRVST THE PLAN!

I was hoping another female would join the crew, but having Loki do it instead is actually pretty cool.

Then again, Luffy has asked many beings to join his crew, so I wonder what will happen in the next 25 chapters.

>>279815324
>The claw marks have to be an indicator
There were three side by side, right?

>he intentionally gave his arm away to hide the glowie mark

>>279815863
Loki was the son most like Harald in his younger years, maybe he just wanted to give him some guidance

>>279815958
Real Usopp Chads never lose hope

>>279816011
He's definitely going to have a shapeshifting fruit, and troll Sanji by turning into a beautiful woman and then into an ugly man

>>279815958
It really is astounding how we have several Elbaf subplot setups for several Straw Hats so far, but still nothing for Usopp.

>>279816038
What about Jarul, though? Dude is a literal grandpa.

What's with the braindead autists samefagging and having an off-topic discussion about trannies again instead of discussing the chapter?
>>279815944
>>279815861
I actually feel bad for Luffy having such incompetent weaklings under him.

>>279816042
Was this his last shining moment in One Piece?

>>279816044
Oh no, Loki is a tranny too?

>>279815509
Oda doesn't want to draw Chopper getting molested by Holy Knights like the other Strawhats and needed an excuse for him to not participate in the fight

>>279815860
I think it's more likely that the stolen fruit was actually the Nika fruit. The giants are so big in sungod fuckery that it would make sense if they guarded this forbidden fruit in secret.

>>279816104
As someone said, if it was then the giants would surely be pissed off, or at least curious, as to why Luffy visibly has it as many of them saw him turn into Nika. If anything that's the one fruit it can't be.

>>279814687
God I hope we get more young Dorry and Brogy scenes during this flashback, perhaps of them fighting and beating Harald.

>>279816071
Yep, and he's gone really downhill since.

>>279816044
>>279816074
>has a stronger version of Benthams fruit
/pol/bros aren't going to like this

>>279814514

>Yamato Takeru was a beautiful Japanese prince who crossdressed to infiltrate his enemy's castle
>some versions of the story of Momotaro features Onihime, the daughter of the Oni King, who aids Momotaro in defeating her father
>originally Oda planned on having Onihime disguised as a man to hide her identity, and that she would be on Kaido's side until discovering Oden's journal and realizing she'd been lied to, and Momonosuke was the rightful shogun
>He scrapped this idea and instead tied the crossdressing with being an Oden superfan to have him be an ally from the getgo
>this also ties into the japanese theatre motif Wano has. Yamato draws inspo from Takarazuka Revue, in which male roles are played by women, as a response to the period in japan where women were banned from being actors so female roles were all played by men
>he has massive boobs because it plays into the gags about how oblivious and lacking self-awareness he is about the whole Oden persona thing
>also Oda is a boob lover
>it's also possible that while hanging out in okama bars with Kazuki Yao, they came across a busty FTM transexual that left an impression on Oda, but you'd have to ask him

Nika's fruit was being transported by Who's Who's ship only a year later after Harald's death so there are different options to consider.
>The shadowy figure is not somebody related to the World Governement otherwise the Devil Fruit would have immediately went to Mary Geoise
>The shadowy figure did not actually manage to steal the Devil Fruit and Loki actually ate it
>The national treasure is not Nika's Devil Fruit

Thank you, the websites currently down

>>279814386
What did Gaban mean by this?

>>279815817
he helped him not die. and dead men tell no tales.
Except for Brook, but his memory is useless

>>279814427
Fuck yeah its confirmed. luffy said so himself. Elbaf does not want him and luffy is the only one who can keep him in check. Luffy know peoples true intentions and if theyre lying. He knows Loki is just a michevious dickeheaded sweethwart.

Looks like a horn on his head, coming out the left/far side. And some weird shape on his back that I don't think is a weapon sticking through him because it curves far more near the tip than weapons they're using.

>>279815457
100% around Yonko level. Loki is Yonko level, Harald was Yonko level, and Jarul will have been Yonko level during his prime.

>>279816195
>The shadowy figure is not somebody related to the World Governement
To add on this part, I don't really believe this part because the only outsider that could have arrived to the castle from the inside is somebody with the Abyss Mark.

>>279816154
What the fuck is wrong with Usopp?...

>>279815509
>What was the point of Chopper running to Scopper to learn how to injure the enemies when he just mentions it to Luffy as a second hand conversation?
Because Chopper is going to discover/invent another way to damage regen users without ACoC.

>100 years ago? Too basic
>110 years ago? Not feeling it
>109 years ago? Yup that's the number

>>279816074
did you forget the part where the mythological Loki is the mother of one of his kids?

>>279816280
That's his mustache, you baka.

>>279816063
Hey now, dont forget Wano so quickly. Zoro and Sanji did pretty damn well taking out their Yonko equivalents in King and Queen. Now they just have to take that next step and join the big CoC club so they can actually engage with the next tier of bad guy. One near death experience and they'll be good to go, as is tradition.

Jokes aside, I do wonder how exactly Oda is going to go about having them take that next step. For Zoro it comes down to harnessing what he already has access to, but doesn't yet have a full understanding or control over. Luffy could help him out here, but I doubt he'd be able to explaining what he knows about CoC worth a damn.

Sanji's a more difficult case as he doesn't really have the same lofty, conquering goal that Luffy and Zoro do. However, if he doesn't have access to CoC then tying him in to the end game fights is going to be an exercise in futility. I'm wondering if Oda is going to have some big event happen that sets him up to acquire a more adversarial goal, to justify him gaining access to CoC or if he'll simply have to leave those fights to Zoro and Luffy and join Jinbei in taking down the next biggest threat that doesn't demand it. And, if he does have some big event happen, will it be this arc? The most obvious narrative event that could tip Sanji over the edge that comes to mind would be the whole Pudding situation. But I doubt that'll come up until Elbaf is done.

>>279816195
As we keep saying, if the national treasure was the Nika fruit, all the giants who were at Egghead would now realise Luffy ended up with their national treasure and would be asking him about it. He isn't old enough to have stolen it but they'd want to know where he got it from.

>>279816195
The seastone chains would not be necessary if Loki didn't have a fruit

How would you feel if Gerd and Rodo defeated Sommers and Killingham?

>>279816280
>And some weird shape on his back
It's his "bat mantle". Looks very devil-wingery.

Those complaining about Yamato's "boring" cover story forget that cover stories are always mostly fluff, like pic related. "CP9 goes bowling". That was kino - nowadays people will go, "what a waste of time, why isn't CP9 doing crazy feats?!"

>>279816342
How do you know he didn't shave it off earlier that day, hm?

>>279816280
Harold grew a really big moustache when he got old

>>279816195
the middle one seems most likely. The version of the story that everyone believes is that Loki killed Harold over the fruit and ate it. and all the giants plus shanks worked together to bring Loki down meaning whatever fruit he has eaten (and we know he's eaten one because seastone works on him) they'd have seen him use it to fight them. If he exhibited powers other than those of the royal fruit, they'd have immediately realized he didn't eat it

>>279816368
I don't remember people thinking much about CP9's cover story at all back when it was coming out.
>Tfw that was 16 years ago

>>279814877
>I thought waiting for the dump to finish was common courtesy.
It absolutely is.

>>279816368
CP9 was a interesting group and their cover story was great, unlike Yamato's one

My only guess now all things considered is that the shadowy figure was Garling, he was sent by Imu to get Elbaf's national treasure thinking that it was the real Sun God's Devil Fruit then Loki busted in the treasure room and ate it for fleeing the situation.

>>279814605
>three or four years?

This must be the worst day in Elbaf's history, practically an ethnic cleansing of the pure.

>>279816517
its not actual time kompression it's just it being easy to lose track of time because giants live at a different pace. ten years is a casually small amount of time for them, on top of Grand Line weather meaning there's no changing of the seasons, so all the days just bleed together

>>279816569
Shamrock is another possibility. If he remained hooded, Loki would've simply mistaken him for Shanks.

So far Gaban is way cooler than Rayleigh desu

>>279816042
I really want to believe but he literally hasn't been relevant since Dressrosa.

>>279816071
Dressrosa. He was abysmal in Wano, selling fake cures to little kids and the doing nothing but running around like a moron, even Nami stepped up more than he did.

>>279816046
Let me see
Luffy, Zoro = Haki shit plus fighting in general
Sanji = the same as the other two to a lesser extent unless women are involved
Chopper = doctor shit and especially saving Gaban
Nami = Navigation and manipulating the giant at the beginning
Robin = Saul stuff, history stuff obviously
Franky = Not too late to learn stuff from Vegapunk and other tech stuff.
Brook = even fucking Brook gets to have extend backstory stuff tied to the god's knights
Jinbei = not much to do but thats really been Jinbei since he's joined, he doesn't add much save for man power.
Usopp = gets drunk acts like a fool and then jobs eternally.

>>279816619
Jinbe saved the Giant kids from being burned alive and could prove instrumental in saving the Library

>>279816606
Hmmm. Don't know about that because Oda made a distinct point to mention "beware of staying too long" and if it's simply "time seems to go quick here but it doesn't really" then it has no narrative function. It'd be like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber if it didn't do time dilation but just made the training feel like it was going faster.

cute boyfriends

>>279814356
the perspective in this shot is strange

>nardo flashbacks
:(
>OP flashbacks
:D

>Loki is joining
>Adam tree right there, so Sunny can get an upgrade

>>279815509
Blud, gabban would have died there if chopper didnt protect him with his guard point

>>279814332 (OP)
>They didn't use the stocks translation
Laaaame

>>279816343
>Jokes aside, I do wonder how exactly Oda is going to go about having them take that next step. For Zoro it comes down to harnessing what he already has access to, but doesn't yet have a full understanding or control over. Luffy could help him out here, but I doubt he'd be able to explaining what he knows about CoC worth a damn.
>
>Sanji's a more difficult case as he doesn't really have the same lofty, conquering goal that Luffy and Zoro do. However, if he doesn't have access to CoC then tying him in to the end game fights is going to be an exercise in futility. I'm wondering if Oda is going to have some big event happen that sets him up to acquire a more adversarial goal, to justify him gaining access to CoC or if he'll simply have to leave those fights to Zoro and Luffy and join Jinbei in taking down the next biggest threat that doesn't demand it. And, if he does have some big event happen, will it be this arc? The most obvious narrative event that could tip Sanji over the edge that comes to mind would be the whole Pudding situation. But I doubt that'll come up until Elbaf is done.
Oda is going to go the usual route of having Sanji and Zoro struggle mid-battle for a while and perhaps up until Bonney de-ages Jarul so he can hold off Imu, Dorry, Broggy, Sommers and Killingham off alone, when they fail, which will give Luffy time to make his entrance with Loki and starts cleaning up. Zoro will 'get it' for a second to land a damaging attack on Killingham and Sanji will just get pummeled by Sommers, but win on a technicality while getting an idea how to unlock CoC, possibly with an assist from Ripley, since she's from the last generation of Elbaf warriors. It's standard One Piece battles. The actual training is taking place off-screen, because Gaban is completely fucked up. Imu is going to spergout, fuckoff and probably kill a couple of God's Knights for failing.

>>279816611
What about if the Shanks bathing with Scopper is actually Shamrock pretending to be Shanks to gain access to certain places without triggering a huge battle - and that's why he has the HK sign. And maybe Shamrock has much shitter CoO than Shanks and that's why the thing where Scopper's wife surprised him (but it's currently disguised as a little gag).

>>279815578
Retard-kun, mihawk has never been defeated

>>279816708
if there really was time dilation then Imu on the outside interacting with Knights on the inside should have brought something up, because from Imu's perspective their replies came an incredibly long time later and from their perspective Imu's words should be so sped op they sound like a burst of static
not to mention Gaban should look even older after spending 20+ outside years there

>>279816795
I doubt that Shamrock even knew that Shanks was friends with Buggy or that Gaban was a womanizer in his youth.

>>279816739
Not needed, he can just transform into a 10ft tall version of himself when he's on the sunny

>>279816708
Not that anon but it's not time dilation, more like comparing living on earth to living on Jupiter. The giants take three times as long to mature so Gaban just got used to experiencing life like that. His kid is 20 in current time to the regular World but on Elbaf he's roughly 7.

>>279814796
of course

>>279816822
If it's only something like 3 or 2.5 times faster, which is what's implied with the bath conversation, it'd still work. Like how playing a YouTube vid at double speed is still perfectly understandable. It's also the kind of thing I'd expect Oda not to pay attention to or care about, like how Crocodile's weakness is water yet one of his iconic abilities is to absorb cast quantities of water.

bonney please be relevant again...

>>279814796
Sounds severely impractical. Franky would need to build a new ship dozens of times larger than the Sunny to house him.

>>279816919
Croc doesn't absorb water he dries it out, evaporating it. The logic is desert=dryness as a sort of elemental affinity

>>279816597
Might just be horned helmets

>>279816934
She will rape Shamroc in the ass in her Futa Future

>>279816959
size is not really a problem, there are have been several hints that he can change sizes, the owl in the library that shrinks him, his unnamed devil fruit and so on

what find strange is adding someone to the crew sooooooooooooo far in the journey

>>279814427
LUFFYBROS STAY WINNING

>we probably won't see the straw hats again until 2026

>>279816217
lel

>>279814796
Probably not, this is the last stretch of the story so I seriously doubt Oda's dropping another guy into the crew so we can act like he was there and important the whole time, it's another tease like Yamato and Carrot, if they weren't around pre-timeskip at bare minimum then they aren't joining

>>279816795
how or why would Shamrock make a perfect copy of Shank's scar?

>>279817051
good

>>279817030
Well, even then, I don't really see Loki being willing to accept someone else as his boss. Plus, this seems like more of a Yamato-type situation. Elbaph is desirable to the World Government, and Loki seems to be the strongest asset they have, so it'd probably be better for him to stay.

>>279816368
It's just pissy nakamafags and touristfucks with Wano Derangement crying about the cover story and that's only because it's Yamato and not whichever shit character they wanted to join. No one else gives a shit, because Oda always saves the big reveal until the end. We had the same weekly whining shit throughout Egghead, with a sperg crying over Bonney doing anything, so it's definitely same unemployed sharty autist(s) that's been porn/scat/reddit spamming and ban-evading. I hope that shit-for-brains and whichever underage fags that sucks him off all kills themselves.

>>279817030
One Piece runs on a lot of oldschool JRPG logic and lots of JRPGs have exceptionally powerful party members that can only be recruited in endgame, like Gogo the Mime in FF6 and Magus in Chrono Trigger

zoro and sanji training their cocs together...

I kinda wanted to see the straw hats vs holy knights but this flashback is going to be fucking massive I can tell already

>What is the secret to beat the immortal knights?!
>lol haki
Guess being Conqueror exclusive is fancy enough

>>279817083
Makeup. Or he could scar himself and hold off on the regeneration.

can the lord of the sea teleport to mary geoise since he has shanks mark in his tummy

>>279817169
>Flashback within a flashback

>>279816773
>Zoro will 'get it' for a second to land a damaging attack on Killingham
Yep and Usopp is going to contribute by stopping his nightmares, with an assist from Nami. We'll get something similar with Robin, Jinbe and Brook helping Sanji protect the library.

>>279817169
Well we also need the Brook and Gunko flashback before he remembers everything and then starts singing to her, which will sever the link with Imu. So maybe this one won't be too long.

>>279814356
>Luffy had just been shitting out his Conqueror's for attacks because he learned how to use it mid-fight with Kaido and didn't actually get a proper teacher
>this is fine fighting against literally anyone else other than the top 0.00001% of the world who happen to have specific immortality hax that requires a better understanding
well at least there's a slightly better explanation than 'just Haki harder bro'

>>279814605
also this chapter is like 9/11 for "Shanks is Evil" fags, dude literally let his arm get bitten off to get rid of his CD mark it looks like

Ok fellas will this flashback be oden length or kuma length?

>>279814427
i fucking hate luffy sometimes man

>>279817204
He could teleport to Laugh Tale, even your mom's bedroom.

>>279816994
Rodo confirmed the opposite, they definitely had ancient giant blood

>>279817242
t. the straw hat crew

>>279817242
Why?

>>279817110
>I hope that shit-for-brains and whichever underage fags that sucks him off all kills themselves.
This, but unironically
>>279815828
Kill yourself Lawcuck

>>279817240
at least Kuma length
it's a flashback inside a flashback and we've still got the Brook/Gunko thing to see

>>279814427
>JOIN MY CREW
>No I won't join your crew you retard
Yep, he's in

>>279817177
when you break it down, haki is basically low level reality warping through sheer force of will so it makes sense that there's basically nothing that can't be brute forced with enough haki even if a more elegant solution also exists. Haki itself is just the in-universe name used to describe people doing impossible things

>>279817235
as soon as luffy gets the knack for it, that big pig is bacon

>>279816678
Damn yeah thats true, Jibei is the portable fire hydrant. Usopp is even more worthless than that.

So loki wanted to plap this microscopic loli???? How?

>>279814427
>"I'm staying, I got to protect Elbaf"
You know its coming.

>>279814771
CoC used to be something special now it's handed out like candy. Sanji is not a leader type at all and neither is Zoro. At least Kidd had that aspiration.

>>279817378
His fruit can make living things bigger, that's the secret to Elbaf, Giants and the giant tree itself are all the result of their national fruit

>>279814427
This fucking eastblue nigga..

>>279817464
Color of the Conqueror has never been about leadership

>>279816154
Dont forget that shitssop jobbed to a fucking cat, even luffy gave him a concerning reaction. He's starting to realize he has a fodder in his crew.

>>279816708
Heres some life advice. When you're young, you experience so much cause everything is new so everyday feels long. But as you get older things start to repeat a lot, and they blend together. Making time seem like its gone by quicker.
Thats literally what he means when he said, "its been 10 years huh?"

>>279817464
zoro has always wanted to conquer sanji's ass

loki is going to eat the holy pidgeon pidgeon elbab fruit to sit on luffys shoulder

>>279817464
>CoC used to be something special now it's handed out like cand
we're in the endgame and all the people left are the top of the top
no shit we're going to see more and more people with CoC showing up
>wtf why does the future pirate king's crew have all these CoC users

>>279814796
No, it seems to me that Loki will clear his name and Elbaf will stop hating him. Also, if Loki really can defeat the demons then Elbaf needs him to stay, same thing with Yamato in Wano

>uhhh yeah let's have a whole flashback about these giant shitters before tacking the juiciest part
>oh also don't forget to censor this small important talk between Gaban and Sanji
FUCK YOU HACKDA
wake me up when the present Elbaf is back on the menu

>>279817235
>dude literally let his arm get bitten off to get rid of his CD mark it looks like
everyone's been talking about this theory since it leaked but, my memory is foggy where else was that symbol shown to be CD mark (let alone an abyss mark like some have said it is).

>>279817242
But the plot always makes it so that his intuition is correct, Loki is literally a good guy (as far as barbaric giants go).

>>279817578
>oh also don't forget to censor this small important talk between Gaban and Sanji
Sanji's mouth is agape in a comedic fashion which implies Gaban bluntly said no. He's probably going to be seething with fire in his eyes next time we see him with Zoro gloating for comedic effect.

>>279817603
its on the gods knights' nazi armbands
though shank's tattoo lacks the horns/halfmoon/curly mustache

>>279817235
>also this chapter is like 9/11 for "Shanks is Evil" fags, dude literally let his arm get bitten off to get rid of his CD mark it looks like
>OH FUCK THIS DUDE ATE THE NIKA FRUIT WHICH HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND HASNT BEEN SEEN IN 800 YEARS FUCK THIS SHIT IM CUTTING TIES WITH IMU-SAMA YO BRO WE COOL NIKA? PLEASE DONT HURT ME.
Shanks is a fucking RAT.

KEKJI

>>279817521
Normally yes, that's the obvious thing. But we've also had the narrator say "do not regret your lost time on Elbaph" and "a word of warning; make sure to not outstay your welcome here". We also had Shanks says, around the Kidd part, "I've stayed too long" which normally, again, would be a simple figure of speech. But in the context of the narrator warning us about regretting lost time and staying too long, it sounds ominous. More than merely talking about time flying.

>>279817626
>Sanji's mouth is agape in a comedic fashion which implies Gaban bluntly said no. He's probably going to be seething with fire in his eyes next time we see him with Zoro gloating for comedic effect.
How can one person be this comically wrong?

If he were told no, then Sanji would have raged or had some obvious reaction. Instead he goes with Zoro and the other giants to the Lift with zero hint of rejection or anger.

Nah, it's a map to Raftel. The Roger pirates gave him that tattoo, which has a cypher on it or has the exact necessary angles or whatever, in order for him to get back to Laugh Tale when the time arose. He was "the child of destiny" after all, probably meaning everyone considered him to be the promised 800 year old prophecy Joy Boy reincarnation.

Shanks let go of his arm with the map on it because Luffy ate the fruti and/or he came to believe Luffy would actually be Joy Boy. So he "bet it on a new era".

>>279814628
>i met him at marygeoise
hmmmmmmm....

>>279817626
To me it looks more like he's processing it. Like he's trying to come to terms with it, which will in turn lead to him developing it. Or asking to be trained. He has to get it if he's going to fight guys like this.

Roger believed his son would be the one to claim the treasure of Laugh Tale, which was the whole reason Ace was born

>>279814824
>>279815084
Loki could also just be lying to try and get out of the cuffs as he's been doing this whole time.

Regardless if it’s actual time dilation or time just feels different, something needs to happen that brings everyone outside the SHs up to pace if that makes any sense. We got a two year TS after Whitebeard’s final words triggered the new age of pirates, and now we have Vegapunk’s broadcast, but it’s only been maybe weeks since that happened. There’s also BB’s plan to become a king, which doesn’t really make sense at the moment since the Reverie JUST passed and won’t happen again for another two years

>>279814332 (OP)
What are they doing with their hands?

The destined child thing could simply mean they felt it was their destiny to find him on God Valley. Not that he has some great destiny himself, but rather they considered it fateful to find him there.

>>279815606
because he is a hakiman duh

>>279817816
He's feeling the warmth of her juicy dino farts.

>>279817820
cope, they said that because he had insane haki and some bullshit prophecy

>>279817626
This doesn't look comedic to me. This looks more like he's being told "Not yet, but the potential is there"

>>279814605
Utter schizo theory: What if El Hermano is the Imu-powered regenerated body from Shank's arm, and he's only been around for 10 years?

>tanks your ACoC lile nothing

>>279817816
to me it looks like Ulti is asking for berry and Page1 is telling her its rude to ask for money

>>279814407
What did Gaban say to Sanji in the top panels?

>>279816368
the most boring was jinbe's but that's because he is pretty boring, yamato's is just really dumb

>>279817885

>>279814332 (OP)
is the big dude with the head bump supposed to be someone we know

>>279817797
That's why it has to be dilation. If it's just "time flies when you're on Elbaph" in an emotional sense, then what's gonna happen? They have a party and accidentally two years pass? It seems like a weird copout. Whereas if it's time dilation no one needs to be a retard (as opposed to everyone needing to be a retard).

>>279817901
>The only other SH who has CoC is... Jinbe

>>279817898
>to me it looks like Ulti is asking for berry and Page1 is telling her its rude to ask for money
What a whore

So 100+ years ago people were mostly terrified of giants and their raids but somehow they became pacified over time a lot and that gave way for ordinary pirates to be more dangerous as time went on

>>279817816
>ulti is now a swordswoman, not a macewoman
feels bad

>>279817859
Stop acting like everything is a playground argument between two fat American kids. You can discuss things without it being some autistic agenda or character obsession.

Has Luffy impregnated Nami yet?

>>279817680
Simpjis are almost non existent these days

>>279817268
there are times where he's so willfully and maliciously stupid he ruins a workable situation just to satisfy his wants and while that's in character it's also fucking unlikeable

>>279817464
CoC IS special, but the problem is the setting. The New World is where the strongest gather. If you're someone with CoC in West Blue or even Paradise, chances are you're not gonna stay in those areas for long. Nearly every single individual with CoC will inevitably congregate to the New World.

>>279815443
The scatrotcuck's mental illness will never end.

>>279817975
His decisions usually tend to be correct 9 times out of 10. It's extremely rare for Luffy's actions to make a situation worse for the long term. The only time he fucked up was with Usopp in Water Seven.

Usopps heroes btw

>>279818020
Usopp is black so this makes sense.

>>279816795
Shamrock would not only need to copy the scar, Gaban would have to legitimately be retarded to not notice (has observation strong enough to literally see seconds into the future) and Shamrock wouldn't know about whatever Shanks was about to say to Ripley about Gaban's old activities

>>279817242
Recruiting the imprisoned treacherous trickster prince is based

>>279814687
So Harald was basically a Genghis Khan esque figure and just went around pillaging and raping. Honestly I bet all the randomly horned people around the world are his bastards somehow, this guys been doing this shit for a century before he went mellow and stopped fucking random kingdoms over I bet

>>279814427
the 13 crew members theory is gonna pan out to be real isn't it

The problem with it being a mental thing where time just goes by fast is that you'd realise something is up. Like you'd eat and be stuffed, then in ten minutes be starving. You'd be pissing every 30 seconds, shitting every hour or something. Non-stop wanking too.

Invest in Loki stocks NOW before he joins anon

>>279817972
Kill yourself zoroach pajeet

D means dick, the D its also a visual representation of the head of the penis. D. clan are big dick havers and Lily cucked Imu with a D so now Imu wants to exterminate every D. Gomu Gomu no mi its a special fruit since it allows you to grow your dick even more and the Joyboy transformation is the ultimate sex transformation since it acts like MDMA making the user very horny and to crave sex with everyone.

>>279818121
Gotta be hard being you today huh man

So why didn't jarul clear loki's name? Dementia?

>>279818134
oh and Imu is a dicklet, of course

>>279817937
my guess is that after the actual conflict is over they'll still stay in Elbaph for a bit. Robin to research the Ohara books and the mural, Franky working on the sunny and helping Vegapunk treat Kuma, and the rest just hanging around, partying and sparring, then woops, a month has past. Just a month, but a lot can happen in a month. Most likely a lot of clashes between the other yonko, many of the worlds nations gearing up to go to war over higher ground in the event of the flood, Vivy and Sabo might have finally gotten into contact with each other, Blackbeard has gotten Hachinose accepted as a government island in exchange for Garp, Yamato's cover story has taken place, and Law and Kidd have recovered from their crushing defeats and are ready to make their next moves.
So basically just enough time to tick all the side plots ahead one step, ready for things to collide on laughtale

>>279817874
to me it reads as "no, but you might have THAT power..."

Zoro's D. will cause more of a shitstorm than his CoC.

>>279817945
How much would you pay for some premium Pachy pussy?

>>279818170
Zoro has small penis since hes asian

>>279814427
BASED LUFFY

>>279818146
No, Sanji's confirmed to have CoC now.

What would be hard would be living each day as a subhuman low IQ zoroach who will never leave the feces-filled slums of India

>>279816486
Are you saying Oda should be ignored? He's the one started obsessing over numbers in the manga with chapters and stuff like Imu/Uranus shots/Doffy's final sttack.

>>279817946
yes
and this is also why the WG was so interested in getting an army of artificial giants if they couldn't get real ones. It's an extremely effective shock and awe tactic to have what people fear the most as your stormtroopers.

>>279818167
i like this idea but kidd is also on elbalf somewhere so hes also moving slow, and oda already did this gimmick with Wano, where the shs were closed off to a bunch of crazy events happening in the outside world. I dont think he would repeat it. I think what another anon said about just getting used to the giants slower pace of life is more likely to be the truth

>>279818212
Islam is a joke. Jinbei has conqueror’s haki.

>>279814427
Lilith will create some shit that can change Loki's size

>>279814514
Looks like loki jumped from the heaven realm and landed outside the castle in the sun realm, implessive

>>279818248
>oda already did this gimmick with Wano
its not like it was unique to wano. most arcs end with the strawhats getting the latest newspapers and otherwise learning about what's been going on in the outside world while they were busy fighting for their life. Hell it happened, what, three seperate times between the end of the thriller bark and the start of the timeskip? The only real difference is Oda is juggling more players now so there's a bit more to catch up on.

>>279817520
Well if you believe his story, he woke up already in it's mouth.

>>279814656
>before it's too late
Also CoC lightning from the castle

>>279814955
>What's worse, your island being randomly attacked by some asshole like Don Krieg or Kuro who destroys everything and takes your women
or
>Systematic control by the government that kidnaps your children, does devil rituals, shoots whoever they want, treats the people as livestock, superficially acts like they're protecting the populace while really controlling and killing them, destroys entire islands with giant laser beams, is secretly run by a cabal of shadowy devil figures who worship satan

Giant pirates don't seem that different from normal pirates overall. An island is going to equally be destroyed by a giant as it would by any random Lv 1 pirate. I would say there's probably a difference between pirates and WG though. There's a difference between random destruction and systematic control

>>279814569
>Oda is actually fuckboomerspilled
This series has only gotten better with time.

Guard here doesn't have horns

>>279818417
The guy just randomly invaded a human kingdom and toppled their castle and then is demanding the queen. Its literal canon fact that giants at some point literally conquered the entirety of the New World, just because in your mind the WG is still worse doesnt mean Elbaf doesnt have a long history of pillaging and warfare. Dorry and Broggy made their name by destroying peoples towns

I wonder who the admirals were 109 years ago or did the concept and ranks of admiral and VA and such were even established yet. Its funny that we know that the WG was created some 800 years ago but we still dont know when the Navy was created

>>279818629
>1916
the ottoman empire? the year citizen kane lost the election?

>>279814628
Why does Shanks have 2 arms in the bottom panel?

>denjiro

>raizo
>kawamatsu
who's the fifth daimyo

> Luffy knew Zoro had CoC this whole time and never said it
> Zoro didn’t even know he had it
> Sanji wants to actually train and get it but gets shoved aside for comedy
> Luffy asks Loki to join the crew because why not
> Boring Harold flashback incoming

What the fuck was this chapter?

>>279818696
I'd assume it went hand in hand with the formation of the WG itself. the void century was a war between Imu and their 19 allies/generals/titanic commander, and Joyboy and his ragtag band of multicultural misfits. Presumably each of the 20 of them brought their own army to the table which were merged when they all swore fealty to Imu

>>279814687
>45 years old
>just 15 in human terms
THIS SHIT DOESN'T MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE AND IT NEVER FUCKING WILL!

>>279818765
Kiku

>>279818765
Kiku - Daimyo of Ringo

>>279818778
Giants age 3 times slower than humans, whats there to understand.

>>279814628
Sexoooo

>>279818745
>flashback is 14 years ago
>Luffy is 19
>Luffy was 6 when Shanks had his arm bitten off
There you go

>>279818745
because this took place before Shanks left the grand line for east blue and met Luffy

>>279818765
by process of elimination, it has to be kiku, we saw the cat and kinemon earlier on

>>279818768
True but those are CDs now. Marines are mostly people from the lower world and allied kingdoms. Basically recruits or drafts from the 170 allied countries

>>279818556
Just wait for THAT chapter on THAT day written by THIS man, Anon-dono

>>279817925
Its the sumo guy from the previous page, older brother of the other sumo guy

I have the feeling this flashback is gonna be quite long considering it involves giants, lore, a really long timespan, likely Rocks, the WG etc etc

Greetings redditchads

>>279818794
We're going to get a heartwarming scene of Kiku paying respects to her dead brother's grave in Ringo

>>279814427
Is having a giant crewmember the new DEI mandate after fishman?

>>279814386
Why didnt Mihawk teach Zoro about conquerers

>>279816298
Trembling, weeping Sommersfag hands animated this.

>>279818539
>The guy just randomly invaded a human kingdom and toppled their castle and then is demanding the queen.
Any pirate that's at least Don Krieg level can do that to the various random islands in the world. Most islands are actually weak as shit, you're very unlikely to run into an island that can actually defend themselves decently. It doesn't matter if there's Lv1000 pirates running around, when even a Lv10 pirate can do exactly the same amount of damage just as easily, since 90% of fodder people in this universe are weak.

And who's fault is that? Probably the marines
Individual islands grew weak after they sold the right to protect themselves over to some unnamed forces who may or may not protect you as long as you gave your proper sacrifices to the celestial dragons this month like a mafia, and even then they probably won't make it in time to save your ass, unless you're deemed to be an "important island"

>>279818789
My wife Kiku is so beautiful...

>>279818958
same reason he didn't teach him anything else

>>279818789
ass too small

>>279818958
Zoro would have been almost at the same level as luffy if that was the case, so this is how oda balanced a little more the crew

>KNEEL
>NOW

Gerd needs to be sentenced to prison for her cruel and unusual punishment of an obviously innocent man.

>>279816708
Dorry, Brogy, Oimo and Karcy don't look that different from other giants despite spending decades not in Elbaf.

>Oden flashback lasted for 14 chapters
>Kuma flashback lasted for 8 chapters

So you're saying this one will be longer than both?

>>279819396
I don't think there are 14 chapters left this year

>>279814487
based Zoro

>>279814796
Crew's full

>>279818778
ever heard of dog years?

>>279814542
based Loki

>>279818096
I imagine he would just have towns gather their women and then have them lie on the ground with their legs open. He would then jack it and cum on them.

>>279815028
I think so yes

>>279819471
Those also don't make sense. If something is 45 years old it's 45 years old. Giants just live longer and dogs live shorter I guess so people need to make these retarded "in human years" comparisons.

14 years ago in real world time was fishman island

what were you doing back then....you weren't here and still here...right?

>>279814542
>>279814569
Vivre Card had Jarul's height wrong
It says he is shorter than Hajrudin but here he is almost as tall as Loki

>>279819416
How? There a 25 isues of jump this year

https://claystage.com/one-piece-chapter-release-schedule-for-2025

>Luffy is the man who will be king of the pirates!!
Loki will say this btw

>>279818778
it means in the context of giant rate of maturation and development, he is at the same point in his life as a human 15 year old
stop pretending to be retarded

>>279819589
for the past few years oda has taken july as a vacation month, plus there are the break weeks, I think we have like 10-12 chapters left maybe

>>279819557
I was here when we got the first very leak of the timeskip designs and people thought Zoro lost an arm

>>279819544
no, brainlet. different animals mature in different rates, generally equivalent to their lifespan

>>279817464
It still is, minus Kaido and BM (since their status is still MIA), we only have 19 users (21 if we throw in Garling and Shamrock, but we haven't seen theirs yet).
>>279817997
Also, this, pretty much all the big hitters are gonna be rocking it, if fucking Coby got it, wouldn't even surprise me.

>>279814687
>Flashback in the flashback
Good god, oda will die before he can finish one piece won't he

>>279814569
Whoever it was that was surprised Loki showed up is an outside agent surprised he showed up. Reverted back to servant speak and tried stalling from them entering the room Herald was being stabbed, probably turned into a demon

>>279817464
there are only 24 users of more than a thousand characters and all these characters make sense

>>279814796
Maybe when they finally get Noah, that ship is the only one that makes Loki travel with the crew

>>279819544
all it says that a 30 year old giant is developmentally at the same stage as a 10 year old child, that's all there is to it

>>279819557
I was in high school. Fuck I am ancient

I can't sleep. What are the most boring parts of OP?

>>279819713
Long Ring Long Land.

Loki is so fucking hot what? Look at this beautiful nordic man I wanna fuck him so bad.

>>279819744
that one has Tonjit so that can't be boring

>>279814796
Yes, trust in the plan. Invest in Loki stocks.

Tama won.

>>279814386
Awful translation it's
>There's not just one of you who can use Conquerors

>>279819749
Do nordic men really look like that?

>>279818778
He has existed for 45 years but is at the equivalent stage in his development as a 15 year old human. Similar to how a dog might have been born 3 years ago but they are an adult dog that can have kids and vote in the dog elections.

>>279819519
3% of OPs world are Harald rape babies

Luffy is so confident that if Loki tries something he can bitch slap him

>>279814336
Can't believe Stansen would insult Gyaban like that.

Zoro's CoC was LEAKING the entire time

>>279818778
include me in the mass reply

Sanji-san in the streets.
Zoro-kun in the sheets.

>>279819749
Is Gyaban his given name? So likewise, "Roger" was Roger's first name?

>>279819519

>>279815455
Nah it's way more likely that Shanks just does his typical "join my crew" gag when they meet

>>279814796
With how much he likes Rocks, it seems more likely he'd ally with with the Blackbeard Pirates. Maybe Loki and Hajrudin won't makeup this arc and Elbaf will be split between following the Strawhats and Hajrudin, or Blackbeard and Loki in the final war. (Dorry and Brogy are still with the Red-Haired Pirates, so maybe that could be a factor too.)

>>279819923
Yes, almost all names are in Japanese name order. Vinsmoke Sanji, Monkey D Luffy, Dracule Mihawk etc. Rob Lucci is presumably an exception, though Robb can be a family name.

>>279815955
TCB are actually sanjifags they're just shit at translating in general

>>279816368
CP9 going bowling is awesome. Yamato giving Kawamatsu a hat is boring.

>>279814386
>>279814407
sanji is so pathetic

>>279814687
giants are interested in human women?

>>279814771
and his fans are even more pathetic

>>279820054
link to your archived posts where you've said that before yamato's cover story started?

>>279819900
Sanji’s? Perfectly controlled. Like netero’s ren.

Remember when Nami was actually hot? Also Skypiea ponytails.

>>279820122
yeah, I hate the universal long hair bimbofication. Same for Tashigi and Nojiko

>>279820102
Can you provide any posts of anyone saying they disliked the CP9 cover story?

>>279819544
Exactly. It's just that a 45-year-old giant is still between childhood and adulthood.

Harald is my nigga

>>279820160
Can you prove this whole thread isn't just you talking to yourself after you lost your mind?

>>279819557
/opg/ as we know it didn't exist back then. There were One Piece threads but they were a lot more scattered.
Honestly I'm not sure when the general's identity really formed.

>>279820165
Giants are just bigga

Gerd is unironically the prettiest girl and tradwife material in One Piece right now

>>279820258
Cute nose

What does it MEAN, why the focus on Sanji here? Is he reacting to Loki or is he still yelling at Gaban??

>>279814628
>>279814656
Gaban doesn't have his scar yet in these scenes.
I guess that eliminates the theory that he was the poneglyph guy with the burn mark on his face, right? Hasn't the rumor of that guy existed for longer than 14 years?

>>279820284
He obviously got the answer offscreen

>>279820258
You dishonor Ripley-chuan with your fallacies, heathen.

>>279814771
It's definitely not the same haki thing as Luffy and Zoro. Most likely something that Gyaban has to, relating to women. Trump card in the future vs. extremely female opponent.

>>279814656
>>279814687
The secret devil fruit of the Elbaph royal family will be the micropenis paramecia to fuck human women.

>>279819873
Isn't that how he's treated everyone that has beaten his ass?

so a recap episode this weekend?

>>279814356
Loki is fucking enormous, I doubt Hajrudin is the size of his upper arm.

>>279820284
>What does it MEAN
That Gaban informed Sanji he's a weak bitch that needs to step his pussy game up.

>>279820316
He can use haki to summon a pink dress onto his body.

So wg took Nika fruit and shanks went to get it back thinking he was the chosen one and you need Nika fruit but luffy ate it so shanks wagered his arm on luffy being the chosen one to save him

>>279819900

>>279814656
What do you think the chances are that Luffy's fruit is the one in the giant's castle?

>>279814771
He called him a dimeless shitter and it reminded Shitji he's a Germa gene merchant

>>279820230
I caught up to the story at the beginning of the Dressrosa arc. The threads have gotten worse, but it still generally feels the same. I remember a ton of shipping faggotry starting during Whole Cake Island, and then a bunch of characterfagging. I think the happened near the end of Dragon Ball Super. I think a lot of the fags who liked that starting getting into other battle shounen, and brought their cancer with them.

>>279820346
>He can use haki to summon a pink dress onto his body.
Jackpot.

>>279820333
Adult Vivi is hot but the kid is rough.

>>279818958
Fraudhawk theory.

>>279820400
>I remember a ton of shipping faggotry starting during Whole Cake Island
I remember that too. Thankfully it died out after the arc ended.

>>279820416
Shit I want her to have my white babies

>Harald flashback will last for at least 5 or more chapters
/opg/bros...our general will be so dead for the next few months...

>>279820372
Zero. Loads of giants have seen him turn into Nika and none of them were like "that little rugger (rubber nigger) has our national treasure".

>>279820452
>/opg/bros...our general will be so dead for the next few months...
Good. Then you can go back to your dead threads Bleachnigger.

>>279820416
You think Oda hit that?

>>279815270
Or maybe Loki is just a chauvinist.

>>279820452
The slowest opg thread is faster than any other general in this board

>>279815785
Everyone is in their bad timeline until the WG falls.

One piece? More like One.5 Speed

>>279820346
His observation is probably stronger than the rest when he had to dodge all the troons on okama island

>>279820164

>>279819749
He's cute

Reiju
Kingji

>>279820615
yet he couldn't tell Kiku is a man

>>279818427
Keep telling yourself that.

>>279820588
Surely by the time they fight BB's crew. But before that it's hard to say. He needs some kind of power up because, unfortunately, if he beats any late game enemy, it's going to make it seem they just tricked everyone into thinking they were good.

>>279814332 (OP)

Dorry and Broggy’s crew seem to be the black sheep back during those times and weren’t malicious like Harald was.

>>279815817
>Does this mean Chopper is going to learn Haki
???
How did you get "Chopper is going to learn Haki" from the simple context of Chopper being the crew fucking medic who needs to tend to Gaban's severe fucking wounds ASAP

>>279815437
Wasn’t that shot anime only and not in the manga and thus non-canon?

Buggy will defeat Shamrock

>>279815497
Says the arsonist asshole.

>>279820777
I mean...
TECHNICALLY it isn't dubs, buuut...

>>279815658
Harald was innocent now, but he certainly wasn’t innocent back in his youth as the end of the chapter shows.

>>279815941
We get it, you live in a backwards town who hates everything.

It’s 4chan, a hugbox for seething chuds, what do you expect?

The one that is meant to he trans is clearly Kiku.

>>279815438
Sounds about right

>>279818427
Or maybe that's just Loki's characterization

>>279821106
Fair, I wrote the post before the flashback.
