I fucking cried again. This episode was so wonderfully directed.

>>280531361
Who do you think could've helped him? because that was before he even formed his crew maybe before recruiting wb and shiki

>>280531523

>>280531063
Maybe he just told them he recruited a giant guard for himself? Seems like everyone found them eventually though

different guards

>>280531669
Realistic. While they might laugh at his bastard ass that does not mean they want to face Harald after the kid died

>>280531669
different guards, retard.

>>280531523
My only critique is wondering why they didn't show all the Egghead staff praying right after Sentomaru's. Maybe cause it didn't work with the scene?

I hope dragon has an awakened wind logia.

I liked the chapter.

>>280531523
Goated episode man ;-;

>>280531361
The truke is that he didn't do it single handledly, he just kicked the admiral to death.

>>280530620
Thank you for the dump.
>>280531361
Are those faggots really coping now by saying that Rocks, Roger's FUARKING EQUAL, akshually had help in killing an Admiral? Jesus fuckinng Christ, what a bunch of sore losers.

>>280531669
Theres degrees of separation between shittalking someone and beating them half to death retard kun

>>280531912
Unironically yes, it worked better if only Sentomaru was praying since he was the closest Egghead employee to Kuma.

>>280531547
No Rocks killed a Admiral by himself stop the cope

>>280531361
Almost every single fight im OP is 1v1 this petty fags

Unpopular opinion: Carrot, Bonney and Yamato should have joined.

Also, Carrot should have replaced Shittsop after dying to save the crew, and Jinbeturd should have died saving Bonney so she could join. Yamato would just join and be Luffy's cute pet oni dog. Loki too. There's so little character development of the weaker strawhats now that it's really not a big deal to bloat the Sunny a bit either. Sunny needs more cute girls on it anyway.

Also, Yamato is the most attractive female in all of One Piece.

I am stronger than any Admiral or Fleet Admiral.

>>280532315
Yeah makes sense. Something I'm surprised that the manga hasn't done yet is reveal people who was saved by Kuma from God's Valley. Probably Oda will mention in SBS "btw this person was from there."

>>280531361
>rocks is just roger but immoral
>downplaying the main rival of the pirate king
Have any of those dumbasses realize that Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido all follow him as their subordinate? The fact that a lot of heavy hitters of the current era were once under his command because they acknowledge him as their better?

>>280532588
No they shouldnt have, just more pointless crew bloat

>>280532835
this, Oda can barely manage all the strawhats without having them separate for no reason

>>280532810
rocks is recent idea

>>280531361
Are admiralfags really theorizing that Rocks showed up with his full crew in the reverie just to 10v1 an admiral?
Shanks would do this

>>280530620
I thought "FATHER OF BLACKBEARD" was some spic fanfiction.

>>280531361
What's the original Japanese say, and why is the fan translation so shitty?

Do you think fate is real in one piece?
Blackbeard loves to talk about that shit.
Maybe the will of D. is super giga haki that persisted after the person died and literally effects physical events around a person.

Could Rocks also do this?

>>280532873
There is a reason, its easier to manage groups of 3 or 4 SHs at a time than have 10 in one place

>>280533196
Yeah, he was a supah cyborg.

>>280532316
I know that i'm not coping i'm just asking the guy what does the translation change if anything

How is this? Good enough of an edit?

Caribou is Blackbeards little brother.

>>280530980
Having giants as your allies seems very important, specially in the new world.

>>280534435
What about Coribou?

>>280534373
so if Vegapunk could trick him by making even whole Pacificta army listen to only Bonney

Why did he not make Seraphim obey him, or Luffy or Dragon over CDs?
Why did he EVER let CDs have more power?

>>280534435
Caribou was born like 8 years after Rocks died blud

>>280534465
Hes adopted, just look at his pale skin.

>>280531554
>normalfags
>having strong emotions towards a story
Wrong

>>280534465
Did he survive? I don't remember if he was on the cover story. How did they survive getting shipwrecked in the deep ocean?

Would *YOU* yes you anon, have sex with Loki?

>>280534466
The moment that Saturn found out, Stella was impaled by one of his spiderlegs.

I just want Caribou to be relevant again.......

>>280534509
Only normalfags weep at forced writing

Sane person sees how badly written Kuma's flashback was and it's not sad at all. But normalfags can't think and watch at the same time, so if characters cry they cry as well.
That's why I can enter this episode into youtube and I will probably see bunch of reaction videos of normalfags weeping

>>280534579
No because I'm not a faggot. But I would invite him to my crew since he's a based White Nordic Aryan King.

Hey you seem like a cool guy. Meet me in MJ I have some slaves you might like. One of em is an ex-revolutionary if you could imagine that lol

I just finished having sex with Loki.

>>280531554
So literally every fan of One Piece?

>>280533580
>AIIIEEEE RUN AWAY

>>280534663
He literally is, though: he's about to spill the beans about Shirahoshi to Teach.

>>280534466
It would have needed to be someone Saturn wouldn't think about (so neither Vegapunk nor a coworker). He only met Luffy recently. Dragon would be a smarter choice, but you have to take into account Vegapunk did not support Dragon, at least not yet, he didn't want to enable the war. Even at his deathbed, he still hadn't made his mind up.

Your character CANNOT beat him
>Mythical Europan Dragon Zoan
>FULL Haki master
>FULL Rokushiki master
>FULL Fishman karate mastery
Your character is simply lucky that he chooses to relax in East Blue...

>Xebec kills an admiral

What are the odds he killed Akainu's dad? Would explain his sheer hatred of pirates. Knowing his dad jobbed to one.

Not that hard, desu.

>>280532237
>Roger's FUARKING EQUAL
How is he an equal if Rogers could only beat him with the help of Garps who is also allegedly PK tier?

Rocks = 2 PKs

>>280534757
>>280534811
The admiral was killed 56 years ago, Akainu is 55. So if it was his dad, he died before Akainu was even born. The old man might not have even known he was going to have a son. A lot of things could have happened.

>>280534746
Who will have the mythical european dragon DF?

>>280534950
He has it

>>280534826
>Rocks=Sengoku>Whitebeard=Roger=Garp>Rayleigh>Shiki
This is literally irrefutable. Fuck you shikifags

>>280534933
>How is he an equal if Rogers could only beat him with the help of Garps who is also allegedly PK tier?
If Garp was "PK-tier" then why didn't he find the One Piece after Roger's death? At his prime, Garp was obviously "just" as strong as an Emperor.

>>280534826
Rocks>Roger>Whitebeard>Shiki>Garp>Sengoku>Gaban>Rayleigh

>>280534940
This admiral is completely ancient and part of a time we as readers know nothing abaout, in the marines side at least. WB himself at this time was 18 while Garp, Sengoku and Tsuru all decided to enlist in the Navy also exactly 56 years ago when Rocks killed this admiral. Even Kong who was an admiral 38 years ago during the god valley was likely a low ranking marine when this admiral was killed, so all the admirals and the FA at this time were people we know fuck all about basically.

>>280534826
3.5 Buggies among them all.

>>280534826
1v1 I'd bet on Kaido.

Holyroppo couldn't even beat fishertiger.

>>280535001
Why would Garp go looking for the one piece? His entire character is tied to the marines, he's not gonna become a pirate

>>280535001
Because looking for the One Piece is a fucking crime and stopping that is one of the main reasons why the marines exist? You know, the marines, which is an organization that Garp is a part of? I can't believe you asked this question

>>280534970
Who has it?

>>280535077
THAT MAN

>>280534826
Rocks >> Roger = Garp = Whitebeard > Shiki > Rayleigh >= Gaban

t. I powerscale one piece 50 hours per week, trust me my analysis is perfect

>>280532588
>Carrot, Bonney and Yamato should have joined.
True.
>Carrot should have replaced Shittsop after dying to save the crew
ABSOLUTELY True. She has better eyesight than the cowardly deadweight who exists just to be a butt-of-the-joke jobber. Also, telling Nami to insult Luffy when he himself didn’t dare do it in Arabasta? Unforgivable.
>Jinbeturd should have died saving Bonney so she could join
I hate that I am agreeing with this, but Jinbe stopped being interesting after joining the Straw Hats officially. All he did was move boxes in Egghead and tardwrangling Zoro, and now in Elbaf, he’s willing to sit and do nothing while Robin and Chopper are the only ones left with a spine.
>Yamato would just join and be Luffy's cute pet oni dog.
True, and I wanna see that. Sounds so cute it’d give me diabetes.
>Loki too
Abso-fucking-lutely.
>There's so little character development of the weaker strawhats now that it's really not a big deal to bloat the Sunny a bit either.
I think Chopper and Robin are fine, maybe Franky too. Brook may have his moment w/ Gunko this arc, but he went on for so long being irrelevant.
>Sunny needs more cute girls on it anyway.
True, I am sick of the sausagefest.
>Also, Yamato is the most attractive female in all of One Piece.
TRUE! She’s the figurative and literal goddess of beauty and fertility. Anyone who disagrees is deep in the closet.

>>280530353

Happy that Estrid Brother died Decades Ago.

>Entire race's shtick is having a super tough body

What makes Zoro so tough?

>>280534940
It was obviously Admiral IX Drake.

>>280534826
>Rocks
>Roger = Garp = Newgate
>Shiki
>Rayleigh = Gaban (why isn’t he there instead of Sengoku?)

Sengoku is irrelevant.

>>280534950
I don't think such a thing exists. Mythical zoans tend to be specific entities tied to specific myths not "a generic dragon". So if some version appears, it will be model wyvern, model lindworm, model zmey, etc. Or multiple ones of these.

>>280535059
>>280535067
If Garp seized the One Piece for the Marines then he would have immediately put a stop at the New Age of Piracy that Roger kickstarted SPECIFICALLY for his treasure hunting, you dummies.

Garp was never on Roger's equal footing. It always was Roger > Whitebard > Garp.

>>280535192
Well Zoro is the strongest in Thriller Bark as Nami said

>>280535244
>Rayleigh = Gaban
in your dreams, third place

>>280535077
The lurking legend, THAT MAN, living in East Blue!

>>280535271
The WG and by extension the marines don't want the one piece to be found. If Garp set out in search of it he'd be called a deserter and a pirate.
That's why chadkainu doesn't go get it despite oda saying he could do it in less than a year

>>280535192
Oda said that Zoro was supposed to die, but got… lost, somehow. He touched on that again after Zoro’s battle w/ King, since Zoro saw the Grim Reaper, and he has been holding himself back since then.

>>280535271
How the fuck is Garp "seizing the one piece"? Roger got there and couldn't do shit with it because he needed to fulfill esoteric conditions he was not aware of, including the mermaid bitch being born. It's not something the marines can "seize". If it was that easy Imu would have already done it.

There is no way you read over 1000 chapters of this story and still hold this absolutely retarded opinion. You probably watched a couple tiktok reels and came to this thread.

>>280535192
Plot armor

>>280533018
that's before his crew was formed
the text literally says he killed an admiral, but the same people crying that Luffy didn't actually beat Kaido needed to shove in that Rocks did it single-handedly when none of this matter or undermine the achievement

I just saw Zoro have sex with my sister.

>>280535306
If Zoro and Sanji keep getting presented as equals, so were Rayleigh and Gaban. In fact, I’d argue that Gaban was stronger and virile since he impregnated a giant woman.

>>280535338
>>280535271
Pic related would be what would happen if Garp got to laugh tale

>>280535404
They are portrayed as roughly equal but zoro has a tiny edge over sanji. Oda has been pretty consistent with this throughout the whole story

>>280535351
>>280535406
no one cares about the spanish version

>>280535192
100% healthy, cyborg Kuma is not weak

0.0001% preTS Zoro is just THAT strong

>>280535404
>it was a sanjifag pretending to be a gabanfag
lmao
sanji isnt even 3rd

>>280535458
>Zoro, who trains 24/7 and dedicates his entire existence and literally every second of his day to getting stronger, is roughly equal to the pedo that never trains, has several utility skills and spends his day messing around

>>280535192
Zoro uses breathing techniques before his fights and can buff his body up (arms) up, he even has an entire powerup called "Breath of all things", breathing is the secret to Qi Gong. Just like Lao G who can buff his body up and counteract pain and illness. Lao G directly mentions the life return power.

Lucci can also manipulate his body's muscle size and has super toughness, such as when Zoro cut him and he should have fell but still stood. Keep in mind Seimei Kikan (translates to life return) is a power that Lucci uses with his Kami-E to become smaller and faster, but Lucci can also become way more muscular.

Conclusion being Zoro is a Life Return user and can grow his muscles just like Lucci and Lao G, and has super human toughness. His breathing/breathe of all things is related to Qi Gong. In real life Qi Gong is related to breathing.

>>280535330
Anon, it always was in the World Governement's (and by the extension, the Marines') best interest in finding the One Piece, literally what do you think is the point of this double-spread then?
They just don't go and find it because they don't have the means or the pieces to complete the puzzle like the rest of the pirates do so they can only prevent more people from finding out about it.
>>280535338
Stop avatarfagging, you absolute mongoloid and literally reread the last arc before Elbaf where Vegapunk LITERALLY SAID THAT WHO FINDS THE ONE PIECE, FUCKING WINS.

>>280534826
WB>Roger=Garp>Rocks>Sengoku>Shiki>Rayleigh

>>280534734
We wont see that for who knows how long though.

>>280535498
I don't care about the shitflinging blud I'm just saying how it is.

>>280535556
After Elbaf, just 2 more years.

>>280535556
The first big intermission from Elbaf is coming soon after GunkImo gets her fat ass sent back to Mary Geoise, trust.

>>280535521
We have had 0 indication in the story that the marines are after the one piece. The WG kills anyone who can even read the ponelglpyhs. They don't want that shit found

>>280535521
>nitpicking and putting Vegapunk's line out of context
>ignoring that Roger literally got there and said there was nothing he could do without fulfilling certain conditions

>>280535655
h-how fat, exactly...?

>>280535458
this “tiny edge” doesn’t exist
next you’ll say Zoro is “first mate”, when he was never designated as such by Oda, unlike Rayleigh.
>>280535481
I’m a Chopperchad, and I like pre-TS Zoro a lot more than post-TS Zoro, though I like both pre-TS and post-WCI Sanji equally.
Stop assuming I’m whatever bogeyman you think I am. Also, Gaban is infinitely better than Rayleigh,

>>280534579
Yes, because he's hot and cool.

>>280535704
As a fellow zorotard you are delusional. Zoro is 100% the first mate, he has demonstrated this several times. He is also definitely a bit stronger than Sanji. Also the parallel between Zoro/Sanji and Rayleigh/GAban is obvious

Remember the part of the flashback where the king dies, from Loki's perspective, is a lie. Loki isn't telling the truth.

>>280535663
>nitpicking and putting Vegapunk's line out of context
Kill yourself and read the actual fucking story in your wretched afterlife, you spaz.
>>280535659
Why is Akainu appearing on that page then? Why did Whitebeard literally tell Sengoku to fear whoever finds the One Piece because it will only bring a war that is going to break the status quo?
And even if you like to play dumb, why didn't Garp just put a stop at the New Age of Piracy during his prime if he was as strong as Roger was? Literally put him at Reverse Mountain and no pirate could even dream of getting to the Grand Line until he reached his 70s.

I will the one to find the one piece first!

That's the Yakuza lady, Chou.

>>280535952
No

>>280535659
>>280535855
Marine fodders wanted to go after it but Akainu shut them down.
SWORD might still go after it since they're independent from marine HQ.

Reminder that Ulti would never have sex with you because you're not her brother

Elbaph and Harald are doing the whole "open the borders" thing so much better than Oden and his retarded bullshit. It's like Oda scrapped that plot before getting to Wano and replaced it with Joyboy mumbo jumbo, since he decided it was a better fit for Elbaph even though Wano had an isolationist reputation for the whole manga and Elbaph's just got revealed as the arc was starting

>>280535952
I found her

Is Shiki wanonese?

>>280535751
>you are delusional
>Zoro is 100% the first mate
show me ONE manga panel or SBS in which Zoro was blatantly labeled as First Mate, because you’re the delusional one here.
Rayleigh was labeled as such, Zoro is still labeled as a fighter.
>definitely a bit stronger than Sanji
I had that sentiment pre-TS, but I no longer do. They really are equal now, Oda literally keeps telling us they’re the wings to Luffy.
>>280535867
Pre-TS is irrelevant in the current context.
>Zoro v King
Don’t go there. Zoro nearly died.
>Sanji vs Queen
Alive and well, still in good condition.
>gets given CoC
Did you fucking miss the panel of Sanji asking Gaban about if he has CoC, and Sanji’s reaction was intentionally left vague?

I feel like I’m the only person here who actually reads the damn manga.

>>280535855
>Kill yourself and read the actual fucking story in your wretched afterlife
Lmao I made you so mad and funny part is I am just right, you did not even read it you only watched reels suck my cock bitch cry harder

>>280536068
Harald is the opposite of Oden. He does most things right and actually makes the country a better place yet he still faces challenges and even hate from his countrymen and even his own son for trying to befriend humans. Oden just did everything wrong and still everyone sucked his dick, its the main problem with Wano

>>280535655

>>280536151
Nah.

Nigga you retarded or sm shit?

>>280530980
This is likely the kingdoms that later became totto land, not yet under Big Mom's control because she is still sailing with Rocks. They have near-infinite amounts of food production and little else, and would be happy to trade with the giants for protection.

>Toei retroactively bleached Usopp so much even Luffy has more melanin
Why do they keep doing this?

>>280530980
Military might is just as much of a resource as food. For a human country that is very rich in resources but needs protection from pirates or especially Imu's World Government, in the New World, allying with the giants is a no-brainer. Yes, it will hurt in the interim, but a having a very powerful, and very long-lived race in your debt is valuable.

This is why Imu targeted their military through subterfuge, the next generation of Giants would have been too weak to actually provide any resistance so the strongest WG soldiers would be able to roll them and their allies, who are basically all Luffy's people.

>>280536411
Sabo isn't related to Luffy and Dragon. Buggy and Shanks spent more time together than Luffy and Sabo did as kids. Also Blackbeard and Buggy have no relation at all and have never even interacted as far as I can remember. Also there's a good chance the man in the bottom isn't even Shamrock but Man Marked by Flames.

Is Vegapunk aware that Luffy is Dragon's son?

I made up a nonsensical, super contrived plan to kill myself because I am actually the most retarded character in One Piece despite the lore stating otherwise

>>280536614
yes

I WANT TO SUCK ON KOZUKI ODEN'S COCK!

>>280536592

you're just making it sound even more interconnected
also sabo is luffy's brother

>>280536546
WIT is using that same skin color too anon, that's the official coloring Oda uses for Usopp, but he also picked the live action actor so it's just a different adaptations thing.

FUCK Imu!

>>280535192
was that in the manga?

>>280536660
Where was this stated? Im just curious cause I don't remember it being brought up. I know Shaka spoke to Dragon at the start of the arc, did they discuss Luffy then or something?

>>280530980
>acquiring giants as an ally by giving them some food in need
Seems like a great transaction ngl

>>280536675
>sabo is Luffy's brother
Hes not though, they were just raised together, in fact not even that, Luffy knows Sabo for a fraction of time when he was 7 and then he "died". Luffy was raised with Ace.

>>280536728
That's not Imu, that's Gunko(Imu Possessed).

>>280536546
I'm worried the Wit Studio adaptation will feel uncanny with everyone having the same exact skin color.

>>280536675
Not really his brother. If you're connecting Luffy to Sabo by bonds and not actual blood, then that makes less sense for Dragon to be on there because Luffy and Dragon never had a single conversation.

I feel like we're going to get another timeskip because right now Corby stands no chance against luffy.

>>280536729
Yes.

>>280536817
Femimufags are just Gunkofags in denial.

The Monkey D lineage isnt exactly a secret. The only secret is that the revolution exists and that Dragon is its head.

>>280536897
You should be keeping those kind of thoughts to yourself Gerd-san

>>280536887
This kek.
Imu was already confirmed to be a man. I can't wait to see how they will cope once Oda unveils his ugly incel face.

>>280530582
This flashback has gotten me more interested in Hajrudin than I ever was in Momo. Even his mom is actually best girl.

>>280536844
How about more than half the strawhats being weaker than most Yonko captain fodder.
Only Chopper and Robin can maybe do something but without Haki they are just pathetic.
Even the fucking Gifters could use Haki.

>>280536897
Luffy...

>>280536844
Yeah, been calling a timeskip training arc with Gaban for a bit now. They just had multiple people say Gaban was equal to Roger and Rayleigh in his prime, and the crew just so happened to bring a person who can manipulate age with them.

This is the arc to raise Luffy to Pirate King level.

>>280536897
Luffy... chill

I love this flashback. Moves fast. Doesnt have some GOD figure everyone randomly loves. Has conflict and now Rocks. Kino/10 for now

>>280536989
>>280536997
How would people's perception of One Piece change if Luffy was a flaming homosexual?

>>280536728
No, you will not make me fall in love with a man possessing a woman’s body while possessing another woman’s body and making it extra demonic. Nuh uh, I refuse, stop doing this to me.

MOTHERFU-

How do you think Oda originally planned for Luffy to beat Smoker before Haki was introduced? It's not like smoke has a natural weakness, no matter what it was going to be a matter of time before Smoke caught him.

>>280537056
Luffy is asexual but hes way closer to men on general as a character. Hes shown more interest in Loki than any of the female characters beforehand

>>280537100
Yes… but then Oda realized he could shill that little runt Koby instead.

>>280530440
chapter 660

>>280537100
Smoker was never a villain so I doubt Oda ever planned to have him get beat bad

>>280537170
>Luffy is asexual
blud

>>280537274
Well isnt he? He shows no sexual desires towards men or women

The admiral Rocks killed is going to be Garps dad.

>>280537056
I'd like it. I want every guy to be gay.

>>280537100
I'd argue him getting blown away by dragon was his natural counter, wind.
I don't think Luffy was ever supposed to beat him regardless, by as early as dressrosa he's reconsidered Luffy as a person and knows he's not a bad guy

>>280537342
Akainu's.

>>280537342

>>280537100
Breathing him in and trapping him in his rubber lungs until Smoker begs to be let go.

>>280536546
Netflix Usopp looks so much better than that albino Nu-ssop

>>280537342
>>280537421

Lets be real, Oda's never going to reveal this admiral in the main story. He's going to do a drawing in an SBS. If your lucky it will be as detailed as Hanafuda and not some shitty joke sketch.

>>280535192
I don't think a body that is resilient to physical damage makes a difference when it's vs. literal pain inserted into you.

>>280537449
Pretty sure Luffy would die, Smoker isn't air, he's smoke. Pretty sure the solution to being in a burning building isnt "Just breathe bro".

>>280537489
Oda wouldn't pass up the chance to draw an actor he likes. The admiral will look cool if he ever gets revealed

>>280537489
It has to be someone high profile from a strong bloodline or just killing an admiral wouldn't be as hype. Akainu's dad makes sense as he's someone who hates pirates with a passion. Then Rocks son came and did this in front of him.

So luffy has robin and BB has pudding, what do you think buggy and shanks answers are for the poneglyps?

>>280537589
They're just gonna tail Luffy

>>280535306
It's true

Looking back at Dragon's first appearance, it's kind of sad how he ended up factoring in the story. He enters with a prophetic message, saves his son and talks as if he's going to shift the tides of the world.

Yet in the story all we see is him floundering around, unable to make even a single move because either his army is too weak, his generals constantly getting capture and turned into rape slaves or just naturally being in a disadvantageous position.

Glad the anime finally finished Kuma's shitty ass flashback.

The anime ruined the Kuma running scene.

>>280537489
Nah hes gonna draw him good and also give him his ability but like you said, in an SBS

>>280537589
Think about it retard.

>After Wano, during Egghead
>Kidd has copy of Ponegylphs
>Goes to Elbaf
>revealed that Elbaf has copy of Ohara library
>Kidd hands over Poneglyphs to Shanks

>Law has copy of Poneglyphs
>revealed Pudding can read Poneglyphs
>Law hands over Poneglyphs to BB
>he just happens to get Pudding
>Oh wow BB just happens to have Poneglyphs and a means to read them now

Oda handed a Deus Mach to Shanks and Blackbeard to be able to reach One Piece in Egghead.

>>280535481
Retard.
>>280535498
Retard.

>>280537671
>>280537778

Is it that strange an admiral was killed? 3 Yonko died already.

My old OC is a mythical pegasus girl with a brother who fights with a two-handed curved sword, and they fight as a duo.
fuck Stronger btw

>>280538133
:(

Dramatic cry baby flashbacks are boring.
Give me LORE DROPS.

>>280535192
>that would knock me unconscious
Right and Zoro was knocked out for several days, on the brink of death more than ever before and was still suffering from the wounds on Sabaody.
I don't think that measures up with what Kuma said. Comes off as a reading comprehension issue.

>>280537886
GODA...

>>280538309

Why are you saying that as if those are interchangeable roles? Your brother can't be your husband

>>280535333
That was just Brook fucking around

>>280536546
brown readers.. not like this

>>280536546
It's just the lighting, in literally the flashback during Thriller Bark and Sabaody after that he's plenty brown.

>>280537847
>>280537886
They built Pluton and after Imu gets kicked out of Elbaf she will resort to using them instead.

>>280537654
The thing that kind of sucks about Dragon is the same thing that sucked about SWORD until Hachinsou. We kept hearing about the Revos doing shit around the world but we never got to see it. If we had been following something from their perspective a little more closely we'd at least understand.

Dragon's doing a lot of the major grunt work that would be impossible for Luffy's 10 man crew to do, overturning WG puppet governments in a completely scattered world is something that needs to be done for Luffy's revolution to take place, but it's not that exciting, especially if we never see it.

>>280538452
Have you heard of the Coffin of Andy and Leyley?

>>280536546
White is right, even Toei agrees

My OC is Smoothie's rebellious son who has left Whole Cake Island to strike out as his own pirate, eventually resulting in Smoothie betraying Big Mom after being ordered to execute her child

tier him

>>280538668
Popeye-tier.

>>280538668
Not part of the core crew so sub millet pine tier

>>280537819
The animation was A++, I just feel like the manga was harder hitting in the running part of the flashback. Im not a fan of them having everyone saying kuma float by in the background. I liked the manga cutting to them and cutting back to Kuma. It could have lingered on Bonneys face a little longer at the end too. Everything else was great im just nitpicking.

>>280537847
oda teased them back in fishmen island btw

>>280538783
For me the OST choice was the most meh bit

Does Dragon even have a confirmed off-screen fight? I think as far as we know he's never fought anyone.

>>280538881
Deaf-kun...

>>280538893
He made Smoker piss himself once

Gaban won.

Wait what was Mihawk even doing in paradise in the first place

>>280538893
He grabbed on to Smoker's Jitte, making him pirate king tier.

>>280538946
he was taking a stroll

>>280538946
He's a sadist who loves chasing weak pirates instead of opponents who might actually give him a challenge.

>>280538946
He was smurfing.

>>280538918
Smoker is also a fraud. His only real fight was against Vergo and he lost.

SWORD doesn't make much sense.

Why would Pirates give a shit about whether the rogue marines were officially sanctioned?
It would be just as provocative and inciting as if the marines were.

Think they'll ever make it to Laugh Tale?

>>280539031
It's for the public eye so that the Marines don't appear as total dogs to the World Governement.

>>280537334
... but when he's with USOPP, his BAD SIDE comes out...

>>280538946
He was a Shichibukai at that point no? He was probably fucking around on a government errand and decided to max level gank some shitters.

>>280531523
>I fuck
No you do not anon. We all know you don't.

>>280539047
SHP, RHP, CG, and BBP will all make it at the same time.

>>280539031
It's for that exact scenario which played out at Hachinsou. SWORD are marines that are allowed to work outside of the system but they have no value as a hostage. That's why Kuzan said Teach's plan wouldn't work, despite Koby's reputation they wouldn't have traded for him. Garp is way more valuable, so BB traded up.

Kuma's flashback is better in the anime than it is in the manga

>>280538946
Too scared to actually hunt worthy pirates so he went to flex with East Blue shitters

>>280539086
sword seems relatively secret to the general populace

way worse for public pr of the marines eitherway to have some kind of officially unofficial rogue outfit that does whatever it wants
especially when 60% of the time the marines seem deeply corrupt and abusive of the general populace

>>280539047
>I wanted to just be a pirate with Buggy but now I'm all prophecy pilled
Whatever Roger told him fucked him up

>>280539031
In normal situation, when a marine engages pirates, they're entitled to some support, but with SWORD, HQ can just tell Yonkobthey can wipe them out if they please. Now if Yonko decide to escalate, it's on them, but normally they won't. And the resignations serve as a proof to the public and other marines that these guys were unaffiliated.

I love Stussy II I wonder if Stussy I is a bitch since she is one as an old woman now

If Buggy was born a woman Shanks would have never left the east blue

>>280538558
>she

4chan X finally works on my machine again

Where does Rocks fall in the swordsman tier list?

>>280539215
SWORD is still kept secret to the general public, it's so that if a Marine like Garp goes and fucking nuke a town with his fists because there were pirates there the World Governement can just say
>UUUUH WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT

>>280539328
Stussy II was a cumslave clone that Vegapunk made to get back at his bitchy ex-coworker who would always steal his research to work on her own projects without contributing to MADs greater research
She's nothing like the real Stussy

I am the World's Strongest Swordsman.

>>280539373
Rocks > Roger > Mihawk > Shanks > Shamrock > Rocks (the inanimate objects) > Whale poo > Zoro

>>280539431
okay

>>280536148
Oda has said that Zoro doesn't have the title of first mate, officially. There's no label for it in the crew, but Zoro is blatantly filling that role anyway. It's so much the case that he seems to be the first mate that even Bartolomeo, the biggest fanboy of the Straw Hats, has assumed that he is the first mate. Zoro:
>Was the first person to join the crew
>Is pretty consistently the second strongest member of the crew, in a world where being strong tends to be related to authority
>Has advised Luffy on how he should act in leadership before, to make sure that Luffy is a captain worthy is being followed
And curiously, the live action adaptation, which Oda oversaw, has him be the first mate. So this is really kind of a matter of semantics. He may not be called the first mate, but he acts in the role of being the first mate.

>>280539443
Vista-san...

>>280539327
That's an illusion coming from the story focusing on it more and more over the years. Before Water 7, so for over 300 chapters, we had 2 (two) abusive marines. One whose machinations were kept secret (Nezumi) and one who ended up imprisoned after Luffy beat him up (Morgan; though he escaped later). Overall, marines are trusted and respected by general populace.

>>280539431
>Creates FAT-ASSED Lilith
>Creates FAT-ASSED and GIANTESS York

Stella was a sly dog.

>>280539513

Him and Sanji have always been equal, Zorofag

>>280539576
Give it a rest already

I am weaker than Vinsmoke Sanji.

>makes a clone of his female coworker he never got along with
>Doubles her breast size
>Makes her slavishly loyal to him
>Makes her wear skimpy outfits
>She becomes known as the 'Queen of the Redlight district'
Why was Vegapunk so based

>>280539373
Ryuma > Mihawk > Vista > Rocks > Roger > Rayleigh > Shanks

>>280539563
>Overall, marines are trusted and respected by general populace.

honestly we have no real survey
the lower is generally deeply violently oppressed
even in heavily trafficked high population high tech ports like Sabondy are subject to grotesque slavery and abuse by CDs

the average human almost certainly loathes the CDs, and the marines are their dogs
whatever popular heroes emerge within marine ranks are anti-heros or independents, but the institution as a whole visibly enables the abuse of the public

I would job to Rocks D. Xebec...

>>280539576
There is a difference between "being seen as rivals" and "being on equal footing." The two of them have never fought seriously, and Zoro consistently gets shown taking on opponents that are heavier hitters. So even if it happened to be the case that they're equally strong, there's no good evidence to argue that.

>>280539666
Every bludmiral and fleet bludmiral...

maybe the anti-gooners were on to something

>>280539644
Do Roger and Rayliegh and Rocks really count?

Theyve never really espoused any significant interest in "swordsmanship", they just use swords and are unbelievably strong.

Im stronger than smoker

>>280539717
Duh, Im stronger than everybody.

this episode hit different after I gained full custody of my daughter

AND THAT MURDERED ADMIRAL?!

AKAINU'S FATHER!

Now that we've got a rocks reveal. I wonder what Oda is saving the Imu reveal for?

>>280539739
I hope that you didn't get turned into a cyborg for that.

>>280539717
Thats 90% of the characrers atp

>>280539741
Likewise. I'm surprised we got to see Rocks' face before Imu.

>>280539685
both sides are fucking irritating
>ooh do you want to jerk my cock side to side with me
or
>WAHHH FUCK YOU, STOP MAKING ME GET A STIFFY WAAHHH

>>280539740
Akainu had a rough and tumble childhood, he's not no admirals son

>>280539741
I really want it revealed that Imu is literally just the black silhouette we've already seen
Would be a funny subversion of his usual trope

>>280539373
>sword resting on shoulder
>the way he's holding out his empty hand

wait, does he actually have the Op-Op no mi? that looks so similar to Law

>>280539659
>honestly we have no real survey

Shit like this is why One Piece Fan letter is good, it was so awesome to see the daily lives of characters just trying to get by in a world filled with superpowered criminals and magic powers.

It takes balls to join the Marines and go to Marineford when your just a normal dude. Much respect to this guy and his brother, and all the Marines fighting for their families. It's easy to wanna set sail wen you got a devil fruit, but to pull up to a fight with a fucking ANCIENT GIANT, as a normal human takes guts.

>>280539741
Probably needs to see Luffy face to face. Also if Imu's a body swapper then it makes sense for their "true" face to be something we see near the climax.

>>280539841
Part of me is betting that the plot twist is the fact Rocks never had Blackbeards devil fruit.

If Rocks did have the Ope Ope no mi it would help explain why the fruit sold for such a high amount

>>280539795
tell me about it, I just got here, looking for a genuine conversation about enjoying the series since a new episode and translation just came out (foolish I must admit) like who is this horny on a sunday? is one of the pillars of conversational cancer along with powerfag agendatards that take one piece too seriously as if is real

>>280539659
Nah it's very much highlighted in the Davy Back Fight arc when Luffy tells Tonjit to be wary since a marine (Aokiji) showed up, to which he's surprised and replies that it's a good thing. People from Nami's island contact marines to save them.from Arlong (though they job), people around the world rejoice the Navy's victory in the Marineford war. The little guy sees marines as heroes even though he despises CDs.

>>280539817
How do you know that isn't him after he lost his family to pirates?

>>280539841
Fun fact, the sound effect when the mountain gets cut is the same sound effect from the Op Op no mi.

>>280539788
Why? Rocks is like one of the many enemies of the WG from a bygone era. Imu is literally the reason for this entire manga in a way

>>280539892
I do agree with you but this thread barely has coomer shit

>>280539887
>probably the most broken overpowered devil 2nd only to the main character's chosen one fruit
>can potentially gift immortality
>can cure extremely rare/difficult diseases
>teleportation, electricity generation, body swapping, radiation generation
>infinitely sharp edges

it doesn't need to be Rocks's fruit to be extremely prized

>>280539882
Blackbeard seems like to type who would see Rocks' failure as reason not to copy him.

>>280539692
Ther fighting styles revolve primarily around swords, of course they count (though I guess jury's still out on Rocks). I get arguments for BM or Pica since they just use swords as support skills, but Roger and Ray are swordsmen through and through.

>Killed an admiral and vanished into thin air
>vanished into thin air
>vanished into thin air

Sounds alot like SHAMBLES to me.

>>280539659
The thing you need to remember is the world of One Piece is still very separated and a lot of people probably rely on the WG resources to defend against pirates or to even keep their town or country afloat with food or resources. A lot of people only know whats going on in the world via News Coo, if Morgans doesn't report shit it might as well not exist, and he loves reporting on how all the big bad yonko are coming to kill you and rape your family.

>>280539930
Because I thought we would see it in a more Blackbeard focused arc such as when Blackbeard fights Shanks. Or during the God Valley flashback. I must say, its very surprising for Oda to reveal it here kek.

>>280539739
Say hi to your ex-wife's daughter for us

>>280540050
What if his final act was making his son immortal, the mountain cut was from Shambles, and Blackbeard was able to handle two fruits because he's immortal?

R8 this Hakiman OC

>>280540050
Just tcb shit, the viz says he fled

>>280540112
Where does Blackbeard not ever sleeping fit into this?

>>280540067
There are also tons of people the cheer on pirates, and there's also a relatively popular revolution going on.
Luffy is semi-canonized as a yonko through sheer popularity before the Marines officially recognize it

At the end of the day, SOMETHING sliced that mountain, and Rocks doesn't have his sword out
Unless his haki is so shard is functions like a sword, it's reasonable to assume it's a devil fruit ability

>>280540112
I read a theory that Xebec actually put his heart into Blackbeard, and that's why Blackbeard doesn't need to sleep, when he closes his eyes Xebec wakes up, and he can use 2 devil fruits not because of the surgery but because he has 2 hearts/souls.

>>280540112
Or maybe he implanted himself Into Blackbeard. Like how law can take peopels hearts and put them into others, maybe he did the same and put himself into BB.gtjvn

>>280540119

>>280540067
Big News Morgan is unironically just the perfect parallel to what's wrong with a lot of real world media. He's sensationalist. "If it bleeds, it leads. Integrity comes second, because he's most concerned with selling papers. Stirring the pot on purpose is ideal for him.

>>280540160
We don't know that. Maybe the mountain just did that.

>>280540119
The fitted cap doesn't fit the setting of one piece, other than that pretty decent. 8/10, would set sail with.

>>280539965
yeah

>>280540119
the art is shit
i'd ditch doffy's glasses and change the cap to a bandana
i get lots of barrel-chested brute ala Bluto from Popeye

I actually think Rocks is just some hakimam desu

>>280540207
Yes the mountain's tip just got cleanly sliced off when the Rocks pirates landed by happenstance

>>280538783
The weakest part was when he remembered Ginny. I felt a sense of pain in the manga, which I assumed to cause him to fall forward in that panel, but they just turned that lean into his running animation. I would have liked a cut to her > pain > cut to bonney > hope.

Ryuma OPA gameplay

Chopper should be able to learn electro soon, I suspect his true df is moonfolk being a cousin of the minks

>>280540193
I think Morgans is just based in IRL media, kinda like 90% of Odas politics are based on the politics of our world, just applied to a fictional world of pirates and kingdoms and made digestable for the overall audience, a lot of it still goes over most people head like the entirety of FI and its message for example

>>280540184
it basically has to be mythical zoan affiliated with lightning

since he intends to burn the tree
lightning and fire are the tree's great weakness
almost certainly will call lightning down through his hammer

8 legged kirin?

How would you all react if Rocks actually has the Jacket-Jacket fruit?

>>280535952
Ulti fags are so retarded lmao

Maybe Rocks showed up on Elbaf is because he wants it's Legendary DF?

Which Devil Fruit will they have and who will have it/them?

... would be one way to make it fit.

It's either the sun-sun fruit or something sun related.

>>280540239
I agree, that would have been perfect.

>>280540146
Morgans is Luffy's number one hype boy, but he also loves leaning into the fact that he's a pirate. There was a hole segment of Egghead where Rebecca has to keep telling Luffy's own fleet commander that the news is lying and Luffy did not kidnap and kill Vegapunk.

People love Sabo though, yes. Winning the hearts of the people is necessary for revolution. The large segments of the populations which are more heavily repressed by the WG are definitely going to be anti-marine. All I'm saying is I don't think your average person would think ill of the marines, a lot of the populations spread out over the entire world probably believe that the marines are necessary so they don't get raped by Arlong or Alvida tier pirates all the time, especially if their only accessible world news is filtered through Morgans. Obviously it would be much, much harder for the WG to control everyone if people could communicate easier, even if Vegapunk hadn't messed with the Void Century they probably would have killed him before he could make the internet like he wanted.

>Shambles out
>Cut the mountain in half at Elbaf with ROOM
>Lose in God Valley
>transplant soul into son
>Blackbeard now has knowledge of the world government to do all his plans because of Rocks being a former WG member able to be in Reverie
>Zoro and Luffy saying "Not him, they" was about the two souls. They were able to tell with Breath of all Things and Voice of all Things
>Blackbeard's nice personality Luffy saw was the real Blackbeard, the evil one is Rocks
>the second fruit was Rocks
>Him not sleeping is Rocks personality taking over while he sleeps
>His ship being SABER OF XEBEC is obvious
>Seeking out Whitebeard was actually because of Rocks knowing he could take advantage of his nice yet strong crewmate

>>280539692
>Do Roger and Rayliegh and Rocks really count?
Yes
The only reason niggers like you try to convolute the definition of a swordsman is because of who happens to be the WSS

>>280540456
okay what the fuck does Rocks even do next chapter to justify this shit from SPICdon?

>>280530064 (OP)
Did Tama stay behind? I guess it'd be awkward for her and Ulti to hang out.

>>280531361
>>280533069
>What's the original Japanese say, and why is the fan translation so shitty?
>「海軍本部」の"大将"を一人殺害して逃走—
>He killed a marine HQ admiral alone and fled—
So TCB is closer but embellishes it more. But it's not like you can't construe that he did it alone with the context in VIZ's translation, since the subject is "this man" and not "these men" or whatever.

That said, I do like TCB's version of him saying "yeah?" at the end of his sentences for his よな quirk, since he's seeking agreement instead of asking pure questions. I imagine he's going to be doing that a lot.
Not that it matters since both of them don't translate some names correctly anyway.

>>280540511
Afraid so

>>280540539
KEK what a left behind bitch

>>280540262
Serious question, why don't they just make the game either an arena fighter or a fighter? Nobody likes this beat em up shit.

They know how to make a competent fighter, you can see traces of it in the PVP, and they can make an arena fighter just fine, they're literally making one right now for another anime. They could make the best OP game ever and the game's beautiful visuals won't be brought down in any way. Why give One Piece this sloppy beat-em-up combat that nobody likes?

>>280540489
Well it kind of undermines the pursuits and reputation of Zoro and Mihawk, people that deeply respect and study swordsmanship, if say a guy with big haki swings a blunted saber around like a retard can still win through brute power without any real understanding

swordsmanship is a different domain than just raw power

theoretically a better swordsman can lose to worse thats stronger

>>280540315
>8 legged kirin?

I'm joking. Maybe there's more to this horse? Maybe it was a devil fruit user

>>280540492
Maybe we're shown a flashback within a flashback of him killing the admiral? Big lore drop? Idk, something along those lines I guess

>>280540565
Smaller budget for bigger profits, simple as.

kuma standing up before remembering bonney in the anime is a fucking sin. director needs to be fired

Tama won.

to

>Oh and Roger himself also said only Garp and Sengoku could take him, so Sengoku too
>Also, Shanks' father was strong enough to scar Whitebeard so that makes him equal to WB and Roger
>and Shiki was somehow able to fight Garp and Sengoku so that makes him equal as well
>oh and the random guy with a pointy head that Garp had to train his fist on mountains just to beat in his prime
>Also Rocks didn't really require just Garp to handle, Roger had to help too so he's equal to them as well. Actually scratch that make that Roger's entire crew and these secret people called God Knights

Source?

>>280540565
Give it time. These Chinese games start out kinda rough and then grow once they get more budget and fans. The people that made OPA made the Naruto Mobile game and all the earlier characters have reused animations from Storm because they were made by like one guy. Now the characters are awesome and they get to make new content. Same goes for Fighting Path. It's combat wasn't nearly as polished as it is now.

I think the closer the game gets to the new world, the more advanced the combat will get and the more fun the characters will be to play as. You can see it here with Ryuma.

>>280540784
>strong people exist in every era
Say it aint so blud...

My source is Roger himself

He'll be in an eternal limbo because Oda doesn't want to include SW into the canon but doesn't want ot supersede it either.

To be fair, Ryuma is one of two people in the story to create a black sword and was considered a legendary sword god hundreds of years after his death.

>>280540963
Jobbed

>>280540963
Stuck in limbo, Oda regrets giving him the Flight fruit, he said it's a power he'd never give anyone in the main manga. But he doesn't want to retcon the entire movie either, so he's stuck in an odd spot. Easy to use him in flashbacks here though.

>>280530486
Why are Elbafeans such dicks? How am I meant to like or sympathise with them if Oda is making them out to be Wanonese 2.0.

>>280540963
We saw him hanging out with crocus

>>280541126
Ryuma's story is a reverse of Zoro.
The western master swordsman who's actually a hack losing to the nipponese samurai. With Zoro, Mihawk is the master and Zoro the fraud.

>>280541139
The entire story of the arc is about change and redemption. Harald himself was a dick, but he decided to make himself and his country better.

>>280530486
These are the monsters that Gunko killed right?

>>280541139
You're supposed to sympathize with Hajrudin.

>>280541139
Most people are dicks mate

>>280541013
He better do

>>280541270
except 4chan

100% one piece become chosen's one's piece kek. Luffy becoming the sun god because he was chosen by joyboy's fruit, BB being the son of rocks.
Fuck inherited will lmao, the only will is genetically inherited. Roger was too early! Shanks was too early! Have to be chosen sorry bro!

>>280540588
My man, Roger's sword is literally a supreme sword because of Roger.

is hard to feel bad for Loki when he never was a nice person himself, with Robin I feel for her since she tried being nice and so did Law while Loki just seemed like a major hypocrite being a prick to his half-brother for being born and not seeing the irony in that at all

The leaker says Rocks fucks Stussy for 16 pages next chapter and in a final FUCKING INSANE DOUBLE SPREAD he cums inside her

>>280541096
kekdo...

>>280541360
Hurt people hurt people, dude. He's like 6 years old.

Why the fuck did I watch today's anime episode? I've been crying for 4 hours dawg this shit got me messed up

>>280541201
In reality Katanas are dogshit that break easily.

>used pig metal until like 1900s when everyone else was using fucking guns and planes
>use inferior smithing method involving folding the steel 1000 times (really about 10 folds. 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1028
>they didn't actually cut better because of the curve, that was just a defect. The curve wasn't enough to add any extra cutting power like a cutlass
>folding causes carbon loss, if they actually folded it 1000 times it'd be rendered back to iron
>hard to produce by hand due to inferior methods, steel was meant to be hard so they had to give it multiple parts such as a hard spine to absorb blows
>meanwhile western blades just poured some steel in a furnace and came out perfectly every time, they just used spring steel so they could mass produce swords and the swords could absorb blows by being bendy and shock absorbent

Japanese people's entire fighting style was based around their shit quality swords. They couldn't clank them together like westerners and they had curves in them so they had to run by each other and do slashes at a pulled in angle to take advantage of the curve. Katanas were dogshit.

>>280530064 (OP)
I can believe this cover story is still going. Fitting that it's just as excruciatingly drawn-out as Wano itself was.

>>280541360
I don't think that Oda really shies away from Loki being a little faggot, it's just that he was a little faggot who had a troubled past and the same past implicated good people too.

>>280541540
I thought you were exaggerating but no it really has been going on for about 45 chapters by now.

>>280540456
the flashback better end

>>280538302
Those two had no idea their captain had left a son behind that became Blackbeard.

How come even when I know Kuma is still alive I still cry when Vegapunk erases his free will??

>>280541695
Because you're a faggot. Vegapunk will be brought back to life and Kuma will be fixed. Nothing really matters in One Piece.

>>280541638
Nah, its gonna be like 6 chapters or so in total

So it's long, but still not extraordinarily so.

>>280541695
Good news, you're still human with empathy.

>>280541720
The suffering still happened, all that pain is not erased just because they didn't die.

>>280541761
Suffer doesn't matter because you can just magically become happy, like how the childhood suffering of Nami, Robin, and Sanji just went away.

>Tamatranny trying to find a new way to seek attention
This fag is the IRL Loki, but instead of 6 hes like 30 and residing in Brazil

>>280541803
They didn't though.

>>280541695
I'm weak to old people crying. Even if Stella acted like a jew-y bastard with Kuma, him realizing in the end that he was still killing a man "for science" kind of hits hard.

>>280541720
>back to life
he never died

>>280541746
The problem is because of how boring it is, like insanely boring

>>280541803
>Suffer doesn't matter because you can just magically become happy
Are you autistic? Do you really not understand how emotions work?
It's what has made this flashback so beautiful, because of Kuma's VA performance you can tell the pain remains with Kuma all throughout his life, and pain is a focal point of the flashback in more ways than one.

>>280541617
if feels like they are not sure what to do with him, after how Estrid treated him, why should he care about being a pureblood? Doflamingo made sense to see himself superior to other people since he was old enough to remember enjoying the perks of being from Mariejoie, did I speedread or something, were there any elbafian that set an example for Loki since he was something like a prick to everyone and vice versa

Estrida was so sexy bros...

>>280541911
>>280541617
buutt I guess Hajrudin is playing a part in being Loki's Rosinante since he was also rejected for being born only that he isn't a prick, then I realize Hajrudin had someone like Ida and Loki didn't

>>280541746
Here's hoping it breaks the high score for more lovely Yamakino.

>>280541911
Because it's an easy thing for him to hold over Hajrudin, that he's the pure-blooded legitimate prince and Hajrudin isn't. He's just picking anything he can attack because jealous that Hajrudin has friends and a loving mother.

>>280541911
Anon, Loki is obviously coping hard. Estrida treated him like an abortion, basically and Harald was always away for kingly duties meanwhile he had to grow up with his faggot ass uncle and his older brother at least had a mother to care for him.
Also the Elder Giants that proposed Estrida were the ones who started to spout about muh pure Elbafian lineage.

Loki is a cry for help fag beating people up because peoples moms at least love them instead of this failed abortion

>>280541880
true, jinbe's was boring but at least relatively short, this is becoming a slog

in the dressrosa era I swear to god people didn't even give a shit about cover stories, the only one I recalled being mentioned is Enel because of the irony that he achieved his goal anyways with some implications of the void century

>>280542234
You have Alzeheimer's, grampa, we all loved Caribo's and called Jinbe's boring.

>>280536391
that mom would make me give up too

I guess is just an /opg/ thing in other places is the same is just an
>oh thats nice

only here I see people hold cover stories to a standard of some sort rather than it just being a cheeky extra

though ofc I do like seeing Ulti and is just, look at Ulti man but I don't feel the need to give it a review like that

>>280540492
Rocks vs Harald fight?

>>280542362
he's supposed to be out of Elbaph

>>280540784
>Roger is the strongest
Rocks is the strongest
>But Garp was his equal and they nearly killed each other multiple times
Rumors and out of context situations. Garp was Roger's Koby.
>Oh and Whitebeard was as strong as him
True
>Also, Shanks' father was strong enough to scar Whitebeard so that makes him equal to WB and Roger
No. Whitebeard didn't have a scar when he was talking with Roger and Oden, and that was already after God Valley. It's more likely that Shamrock was the one who hurt Whitebeard.
>oh and the random guy with a pointy head that Garp had to train his fist on mountains just to beat in his prime
Garp isn't equal to Roger these are just rumors.
>Also Rocks didn't really require just Garp to handle
Yes just like Kaido was Luffy's strongest opponent so far and required multiple people to beat, Rocks was Roger's strongest opponent

>>280531669
yes hypocrites are notorious weasels

>>280542323
>we all loved Caribo's and called Jinbe's boring.
Speak for yourself generalizing bitch boy

>>280540592
It's based on Sleipnir, Odins 8-legged horse. That may exist as a myth. Zoan somewhere, but definitely not Lokis.

Grampa, I'm so sorry about your memory...

Nothings wrong with my memory, unlike your tender bitch boy feelings

>gramps having an episode again

>>280542234
Tourists and nakamaturd attentionwhores is the biggest difference. Nakamacucks especially have been salty about this coverstory from the beginning only because it's Yamato's after I'm sure those dumbasses were swearing their favorite character is up next. In general it's just something new for them to doompost about weekly. Thank God it's almost over so they'll have to fuck off and go whine about something else.

Truth is no one actually liked the kuma flashback, you can see everyone being glad we're back to the action next episode.

>>280543250
>Truth is [retarded generalization]
Take your meds braindead splatic.

Joyboys is Luffy who went back in time, he's the one waiting at Raftal and the man he's waiting for is Shanks, because he wasn't able to return the hat due to having to go back in time. Roger laughed because the story Luffy told him as the story we are reading right now. "One Piece" isn't on Laugh Tale, it IS (a) Laugh Tale.

When Roger came back, he told Shanks "You are the man he's waiting for you", he then gives Shanks a hat, closing the loop.

Oden's flashback was cooler than Kuma's flashback.

>>280543250
I didn't mind the Kuma flashback, but not addressing how they escaped is unforgivable. Why even show the god valley thing, just to not have it have a resolution in the flashback. Not saying we have to see RocksVsRogerVsGarp, but damn don't have Kuma be standing Infront of a guy saying he will kill him, have Iva being held down by prime BM.

ANd then we just cut a fucking church like nothing happened with no explanation. Fuck off.

>>280543222
>attentionwhores is the biggest difference.
Basically, yes. The negatively is overblown and forced. I'm just glad it isn't as heavy Wano-focused as I thought it would be. It helps that Yamato and Ulti have just been adorable, so I'm a bit bias and hoping Oda gives us Maria to complete the set.

>>280537847
And here I thought they were failed WG experiments
