The top dogs of their era(nepo piece is real)

Shanks is the son of a jobber

Watch next chapter Imu say something like "That Marine right there.... garp.... he has the same name as JOYBOY

>>283540125
Biological son of the strongest Gorosei, adoptive and spiritual son of the Pirate King.

>50 posts early doomkek slop thread
Yeah I'll make a normal one

>>283540058
Always destined to win by the way.
Got the protagonist I win fruit.
Following the last chosen beat for beat.

Luffy winning by divine providence does take some of the magic out.

>>283540058
see ya next week

>>283540205
The only thing left is to find out joyboy was the monkey d line ancestor

>>283540586
It will be worse than this. The reveal will be that Davy Jones is Joyboy's dad, meaning Black beard and Luffy are related

>>283540670
Worse it's going to be revealed that joyboy's true name was monkey D.binks

>>283540719
Not Binks D. Sake?

>>283540749
Don't give oda ideas

>>283540780
He probably thought of that 20 years ago but ok

yameroo
There's no joyboy true name anyways, Joy Boy is his name. We westoids just can't come to terms with it because it sounds like a nickname

>>283540875
I don't think joyboy was created that early but who knows

>>283540947
Nah it's definitely a nickname maybe a superhero name like Superman

>>283540888
No sense in talking to gayratefolkers, they still think that Luffy is an Italian plumber.

Oh hi Imu, not paperback you have there

>>283540957
Who knows about Joyboy outright, I was merely talking about the protagonist of Binks' Sake as jokingly dubbed "Binks D. Sake".

>>283541028
Oh ok

Well, this is it Carrotbros. Unless Oda shows her sometime soon down the line, THIS is the last canon appearance of Carrot.
And, by the sounds of things, we likely won't even get any more of those filler recap episodes with chibi Carrot and Chopper.
Hope it was worth it.

>>283540991
Case in point of a westoid who can't let it go

I want our boys to get domi reversed so bad

It's happening

It smells like Brazilian in here

>>283541076
wow. much vague.

>>283541048
Don't you find a first name like joyboy strange?

>>283541076
yeah it's happening alright

>>283541046
Has This panel not been adapted?

>>283541046
There's something really funny about using "soon" when talking about a character appearing in one piece. Some characters literally spent a decade without a single appearance and will still likely be a main character during the finale.

What a weird line in the sand you've drawn.

>>283541112
ZAMN!

>>283541115
Not exactly they decided to give all the attention

>>283541112
You just know

>>283541089
Out of morbid curiosity, what would that even smell like?

>>283541112
So that's why roger asked garp to join

Where is bonney?

>>283541165
With Franky and Lilith. I think?

>>283541165
Last thing I remember, she's with Franky and Ripley, close to Imu and the SHs dealing with him.

>>283541177
Wonder if this will lead to anything

>>283541096
I also find strange Oda's habit to write cock instead of cook in illustrations or Oda picking names like Belmère or Monet for women but that's neither here not there

>>283541229
50-50

>>283541140
Does Carrot have the best hips in canon?

Hot take but I wouldn't mind if shanks vs BB was off screened same with most fights to be honest. Just draw the start and conclusion and skip the rest which can be filled in by the readers imagination. Mangas gone on for too long and fights take up precious panel spaces that can be used for reaction shots and plot development.

>>283541256
They're pretty good imho

>>283541099
No it didn't. not a single one of those characters was particularly invested in the sidequest of the npc slaves because One Piece isn't about leftist politics.

So, is Mid Valley over?

Going by the spoilers, GV ends really anticlimatically

God Valleys just might be movie adapted if they decided Elbaf to be seasonal yet have 1:1 pacing

>>283541276
I am talking about Roger and Garp combing their attacks

TRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN

>>283541349
I expected Imu to blow up the place or something but it seems Imu leaves and after rocks is defeated everyone just goes on there way. I'm most disappointed in the rocks pirates with there dissolution feeling very rushed and dumb since they think Rocks betrayed them.

>>283541446
Oda said this in the Wano bath scene

>>283541446
correct

>>283541446
Really weird thing for Kaido to say but he's the boss.

>>283541448
I'm assuming Moriah will show up and turn God Valley into thriller bark

Was God Valley what you expected it to be?

do you think we will see Shiki again? his character is quite funny and has good potential. if one piece gold isn't cannon, it would be bizarre that a pirate of this caliber would not do anything in present time.

>>283541489
Mid

>>283541489
More or less

Idk why retards were expecting Garp to be le fraud, spics and Arabs are so fucking dumb ignoring what is written in their faces to hype up whoever they are fanboying

>>283541499
>one piece gold
one piece strong world, i meant.

strong world robin sex

>>283541351
I hope so I'd love to watch Godvalley in my local theater.
All the shonen are doing it nowadays

>>283541489
I have no complaints

>>283541489
Hell no. I'm not a fightfag, but I allow myself one battle every few arcs to be excited for, and this was awful. Garling and the holy knights were pathetic, no one from the Marine's side other than Garp mattered, Rocks only had one named attack, Big Mom and Kaido barely fought seriously, Gloriosa was shit, and Oda's starting to ruin Domi Reversi for me.

>>283541112
When your Conquerors Haki is that high everyone looks like a conquest to Roger

>>283541489
no. i expected Xebec to be disgusting villain deserving his dead. oda is truly the champion of flashback stories.

>>283541550
It would be a nice chance to have all the off-screens proper fights

>>283541489
I didn't expect Garling to be a footnote nor for Shanks' mom to be so irrelevant but I'm glad Dragon shined and Garp lost all credibility

>>283541550
I'd love to watch the old ones in my local theater.

>GV is ending soon
>Garling is a complete fraud
"Champion of God Valley" my ass.
I wonder if the son is a fraud as well. I'm leaning toward the fraud route, since a fucking Pre-Devil Fruit Teach put the world of Davy on that red haired rat.

>>283541489
No, I was really hoping that we'd see someone fucking up Celestial Dragons but apparently they get away unscathed

>>283541489
It's still not done, so I'm holding my tongue. Pleasantly surprised that Dragon was involved though and how Kuma is that important to the story.

>>283541620
He'll kill rocks who's at 1hp and call it a massive win. I hope it's not that predictable but I think that's what's going to happen.

>>283541625
Fuck you're right I forgot I wanted that.
Flashback is not over yet though.

>>283541611
>Garp lost all credibility
this. just watch/read the robin and ohara flashback then compare Saul reaction to garp.

SAY. MY. NAME.

>>283541489
Once Rocks was characterized, I had my fingers crossed for Imu flipping Garp and Roger and using them to kill Rocks, instead of the too-obvious move of flipping Rocks and pressuring Garp and Roger to kill him, but other than that I have to say Yes. I forgave it because it made Dragon avoiding Luffy click, and One Piece being unapologetically straightforward is really one of its biggest strengths in such a gay age we live in (gratuitous subversion is gay).

>>283541625
Not exactly, it wasn't TCD but the HK got absolutely exposed as frauds

>>283541699
I'm gar for Garling

>>283541689
Who gives a fuck about Saul?

>>283541689
>blaming Garp for Sengoku’s actions

Where Monet

>>283541489
I find it odd Rayleigh faced off against Sommers instead of Gaban, he can still met him later on but still

Did you all wish best transman Yamato a happy birthday?

>>283541699
If Oda had just mildly improved his wardrobe and given him shades like he has now (not that he has to wear them all the time), he would've felt like an actual chad in his youth.

>>283541112
>rogerkeks fantasize about gay rape
you cant make this shit up

>>283541762
It was earmarked the moment Sommers decided to be a dick to Shakky.

>>283541665
he may fight and arm whitebeard but probably not.

>>283541766
No I am homophobic and I don't support Yamato

>>283541762
>i'll send you to the darkest shadows of the under world
holy larp that move was basically a kuma teleport

>>283541762
Sommers actually jobbed again to Gaban in a small panel like a doronbo character

>>283541786
Stop this retarded theory bro... It was stupid when people came up with it since WB has no scars in the oden flashback. It was Roger who scarred him or if you want to still cope it happened way later and possibly by shamrock. Also WB is leaving the island with his new crewmate polo at this point so it's too late.

>>283541446
>Trans women are women
Logically identical statement to "Counterfeit money is money".

>>283541256
>Does Carrot have the best hips in canon?
She's a bnnuy, it's would make sense that she does.

>>283541848
would not be the first retcon by oda, especially with scars (how many times he forgot garp scar?)

>>283541749
My bedroom.

>>283541863
Her ancestor has to be the Joyboy era Queen of Zou

>>283541849
Well fiat currency's value is how much everyone agrees that its worth so maybe not the same?

>No HK killed
So how does Gaban say they arent immortal?
>But rocks died!
Yeah and the Regen between the demons and HK seem to be different since those Davy clan guys look dead but garling isn't.

>>283541849
"Bitcoin is money"

>17 years and 364 days old woman with gigantic boobs shows cleavage
oda diddyblud epstein watsuki ahhh pedo
>crossdresser bathing with children
oh my science oda is so progressive we need more of this in anime and manga

>>283541849
Money is fake and only has value thanks to the authority guaranteeing it.
So actually a pretty good metaphor for gender, though not for the reasons you mentioned.

>>283541876
Having an assumption that turned out to be wrong is not a retcon you silly goose

>>283541876
Right we've had two retcons this very flashback with the "wait Rocks" and "out do my way Roger" along with big mom looking for kaido after GV.

>>283541893
no he's right the government tricked people into getting cucked with tranny money

>>283541933
Yep Xtards are exactly like that

>>283541933
>oda is so progressive
He is though so they aren't wrong

So Davy Jones was the king of the ancient kingdom that was a kind of overbearing king, but thought well of his citizens and just wanted to protect them while Imu was jealous he had to share his land with different races?

>>283541996
Nah

>>283541996
We're gonna need that Void Century flashback sooner than later I think.

>>283541489
i didnt have any expectations apart of knowing if dragon got his DF here so i dont know about feeling disappointed

Why do OP women age like shit?
Hopefully we never get to see Nami and Robin grow old

>>283541996
No I was dumb too and thought Imu was lying but apparently in Japanese it's more like rocks proclaiming Davy was king of the world then saying he was. So it's likely he wasn't king of the world but was considered by some to be king of the world hence why Imu gets mad.

>>283541993
...in my piratefolk headcanon which is why every time it doesn't match with reality i have a mental breakdown and start crying about bad writing in a children's show

The three heavenly kings.

>>283542047
>Hopefully we never get to see Nami and Robin grow old
PPPPPPPFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTT

>>283542047
>Why do OP women age like shit?

Oda really is more progressive that other Japanese authors with his stance on open borders, discrimination and LGBT rights

>>283542047
bad end

>>283542059
I don't know seems to me like your projecting your views onto oda when the intention is pretty clear. Literally an arc about opening the borders and shit...

>>283542098
With Usopps outfit he really might be able to make Imu shit Xer pants gaslighting them into thinking he's Davy Jones

>>283542112
Maybe in his age bracket. A lot of newer mangaka are pretty left leaning I'd say

>>283542165
So still progressive?

>>283541933
Look at her go...

>>283541893
>>283541935
A (non-retarded) fiat currency will still have legitimate and hard-to-fake bills and coins that constitute "cis money" by analogy to illegitimate cash being "trans money" that isn't accepted in any reasonable economy.

>>283542098
>The three heavenly kings.
Only one of those was ever and will forever be king so don't lump those trash with the great one ever again.

Was the original poseidon shown in a silhouette at all? I don't remember.

In the anime, at least.

>>283542268
Why is Poseidon a woman?

>>283542205
Nommy and Daughtama are adorable here

>>283542278
Because Joyboy wanted to fuck a weapon of mass destruction really bad.

>>283542219
>will forever be king
zehahahahahaha

>>283542121
You mean the arc about restoring the rightful blood-ordained ruler to military power in Japan after his ancestors were tricked and betrayed by a foreign military occupation

>>283542278
Just is.

>>283542268
Ah it's that lazy silhouette where it's clearly just a character we already know all blacked out.

>>283542268
I wonder if the aibro could do me a solid and mangafy this into Oda's art style, but in black and white, please..is that even possible to do with ai?

>>283542325
Yes oda isn't a liberal lol but he is progressive and believes any type of governance is fine if they are good leaders who work for the people.

>>283542278
poseidon is just the name of a god, like nika.

Void Century important figures.
>Joy Boy
>Davy Jones
>Imu
>Lily
>Original Poseidon
>Zunesha
Am I missing anyone?

>>283542347
It's even less detailed in the manga.

>>283542457
Possibly The Joyboy Era Queen of Zou whom that dress Nami worn in Zou belongs too

>>283542477
That means Shirahoshi the Gojo of the story

>>283542457
>Original Poseidon
not original but the Poseidon of that era.

>>283542457
>Am I missing anyone?
emet the robot

>>283542380
Oda is very much a liberal in the true original sense of the word (pro-freedom), just not a liberal in the corrupted colloquial sense (authoritarian feminist).

>>283542477
>every few centuries
>800 years between Shirahoshi and the previous (known) Poseidon
Either the ones between just weren't relevant because of no Joy Boy/Nika, or if it just took its sweet time reappearing.

>>283542506
Shamrock looks sad, please give him a sausage

>>283542506
Glizzy Diddy party

>>283542578
luffy too is the first to become nika since joi boy.

>>283542457
not an important figure but oden wife was from the void century

unironic nepo piece posting is admiting that you are a loser obsessed by this concept because your life is shit and you are projecting over fictional japanese characters, not understanding that story entered in a mythology phase and has nothing to do with your wageslave depression.

>>283542457
A Donquixote, Lily's brother

>>283542521
Sorta but liberalism isn't just freedoms in terms of speech it's increasing market freedom so capitalism and removing monarchies and putting in democracies. Look at England for example which under went drastic changes from liberal thought in the 1800s. It basically turned England into a capitalist representative democracy from a mercantilist more aristocrat based government. Oda doesn't say to dethrone the kings but allow them to stay in power if they are actually good at their job. One could argue that allowing monarchies to continue could produce bad leaders more often then a democracy but that's up for debate that I'm not willing to argue.

>>283542380
When Oda advocates for monarchism, he's effectively advocating for a form of constitutional monarchy or elective "dictatorship" with a social contract. Since the text explicitly and repeatedly stipulates that its moral to depose a dictator or monarch if they are out of lock step with their citizenship. The approval and support of the citizenship being critical of monarchal legitimacy.

>one of the most hyped up battles in recent times only gets part of 1 chapter
Can't defend this

If Oda is going to draw away focus from the main crew, then why does he keep this clash piece shit with literally every character that isn't a crewmate?

>>283542783
if it would last more chapters then you would cry about overextended flashbacks and fillers

>>283542743
Respectable and thought-provoking take. I just don't suppose that liberalism necessarily opposes monarchy or supports democracy, given that monarchies can be liberal (e.g. libertarian kingdom) and democracies can be illiberal (e.g. majoritarian dictatorship).

I don't give a shit about Luffy or Shanks, but Teach being another case of chosen one/special lineage really hurts.

He was a fat ugly bastard ruthlessly minmaxing FREEDOM, taking down all the special snowflakes and becoming one of the biggest end-game threats. Now all of that down the drain

I guess it always was a foregone conclussion if you have the will of D

>>283542783
oda is bad at doing battles; there is the anime for that.

>>283542824
That doesn't make any sense but okay retard

>>283542882
what is luffy special lineage?

>>283542883
Luffy vs Katakuri wasn't that long ago, I don't get it, hell I'll take anything like Franky ve Sasaki at this point

>>283542506
Gunko and Shamrock are the "my feet hurt" meme

So what is "THE PROMISE"?

>>283542898
it makes since you are just a retarded shitposter

>>283542771
Yes that's what I'm sorta saying though more dumb and less eloquently. However he isn't advocating for one form of governance like he doesn't portray iceburg as bad.

So is it safe to assume at this point that Imu is not a silhouette but actually a black blob hiding his real appearance on purpose?
Not even the Elders might know what he actually looks like.

>>283543041
marked by the BLACK SPOT

Furries fear this.

>>283543108
Good, but why is that?

>>283542928
>lists two non-flashback fights
Tell me how long Oden vs. Kaido lasted.
Or Roger vs. Whitebeard.
Or Urouge vs. Snack and Cracker.

>>283543041
he may have sapphire scales which is why Saint Saturn was doing experiments

>>283541625
One more mountain there's still hope

>>283543217
iirc Oda said a few years ago that from now he couldn't give more than one chapter to most fights.

Please make the next arc a Wild West arc. We need to see Urouge in it and Ace's son.

>>283541474
They were fucking daily on Kuragaina

>>283543412
next arc is probably about the last poneglyph and mad monk urouge

>>283542875
Fair enough liberalism has effected different counties different ways. Though I just don't think oda would be someone to argue for full free market capitalism universally and rather ask would such a economic model work well for that country. What I think is a more universal belief of oda is anti authoritarianism, though he's probably is more so how much it impacts people's freedoms then say it being a single state ruler. Therefore to be certain without any possible debate I'd say anti totalitarianism. I mean it's as you said freedom which is the goal here but freedom is very difficult thing to maximize and has lots of contradictions.

>>283540058
More like a Wagnerian, cyclical epic, except Luffy and his generation are going to finally break the cycle. Kino, really.

>>283543425
Kekaroooooo

Sengokubros....

>>283539947 (OP)
koby will be the garp of this era, you will see.

>>283541256
Of course not.

I just realized Garling didn't scar Newgate.

So Whitebeard considers Roger the real father of Shanks. That's based.

>>283543487
>Garp is in the Marines to... protect the Marines
What?

>>283543487
netflix garp is now also manga garp.

>>283543552
Guess he just means from Imu.

>>283543487
Oda keeps blowing Garp haters out of the water

>>283543487
Sengoku is just that character who took the role as fleet admiral and since he's the only other relevant old gen marine(sorry tsuru) he gets lumped in with all the other old gen. Unlike garp or whitebeard I doubt we will have get a "now with haki" version of him in action.

>>283543547
>So Whitebeard considers Roger the real father of Shanks. That's based.
>The reason that Ace is dead is because Shanks stopped Kaidou that was going to Marineford to help WhiteBeard
Fucking rat.

>>283543581
But he's done nothing to prevent that, I sure hope this is some leaker fanfic because what is this

>>283543581
He still thinks he fought just a elder but I guess that doesn't matter either way. If Imu wanted garp dead I have yet to see how garp could beat Imu. Yes he beat demon rocks with Roger but rocks himself got defeated effortlessly by Imu and so if demon rocks was that much trouble then Imu is impossible.

>>283543493
need to breed

>>283543682
Same

>>283543464
>finally break the cycle
Sorry I may be wrong here as I'm not the most versed in Wagerian cyclic epics but how is Luffy breaking the cycle if the prophecy products Luffy's victory. It just seems to me Luffy journey is following the prophecy and not breaking anything.

>>283543493
>>283543705
>>283543727
Finally the thread is good

>>283542047
>Hopefully we never get to see Nami and Robin grow old
Oda already drew them as hags.

>>283540058
Just like real life

>>283543765
Now it's better.

>>283543768
Namibros... what the fuck is this

>>283543768
Bro left out Hagbin

Still would 40 yo bad timeline Robin

>>283540205
I know a lot of people hate this since the mural is so loved but I do hope it doesn't develop exactly as the mural predicted. I mean Imu being the main villain is fine and all the SH allies joining together to fight Imu is what things have been building up towards. I guess I just want a surprise twist but not like aliens attacking but more so things are more complicated with more thing happening.

>>283543832
Take the 40 year old one and make that robins good timeline 80 or 60 if we are being more realistic.

>>283541699
GARLIC. BREAD.

>>283543756
Luffy journey was piloted by the Roger pirates:


Start of grand line: crocus
Middle: Rayleigh
End: scopper

When crocus met Luffy, he says "this is the pirate you have been waiting for, Roger" then gives Luffy a log pose to take a specific route.

Everything was planned.

>>283541996
>Imu was jealous he had to share his land
Imu is a literal alien demon that arrived on earth and started taking over shit.

>>283543983
Well he wasn't looking for Luffy in particular but yes Roger had set things up to ensure someone will succeed him and surpass him to finish what he couldn't. It's the same with Joyboy too as he set it up for Roger and then Luffy to defeat Imu but unfortunately it took 800 years.

What year we'll likely get the VC flashback?

>>283544081
2027

>>283544081
Not before discovering the one piece

I liked GV a fair bit so I'm not saying this in response but if the void century flashback is rushed and poorly thought out I feel it would retroactively ruin a lot of the manga. So many reveals that get people excited are related to it so to me it really has to be good to be rewarded for all that teasing.

>>283544125
Discovering the one piece comes at the very end of the story though

>>283544133
What would make the VC flashback "good"? What would make it "rushed" and "poorly thought out"?

>>283541993
They bitch about hot sexualized female characters, weak female characters and lolis so no Oda isnt progressives and thats a good thing

>>283539947 (OP)
>fat beard
Goofy and Chadks are the real deal.

>>283539947 (OP)
spoilers: the One Piece is Nika's island which wasn't an island but a continent. Finding the One Piece would need lowering sea levels to what they used to be to restore the continent which is currently under water. the world continent = the one piece. this is why it will happen at the end of the story. because it requires saving the world and ending the world government. the continent probably looks like Pangea.

in those ancient times Nika's tribe was the D clan. Nika was a god who gave people the power of imagination which lead to the devil fruits being created. Imu ate a devil fruit that allowed him/her to overthrow Nika. The people who sided with Imu became the Celestial Dragons. The people that sided with Nika became the ones with the will of D since they love freedom. Imu didn't die but he/she keeps on reincarnating into a new person every era just like Nika.

it goes:
Nika -> JoyBoy -> Roger -> Luffy
vs
Imu -> Davy Jones -> Xebec -> Blackbeard

yes one piece is pure shit. even Boruto is better. Despite the similarities, Naruto handled this type of reincarnation lore better lore and Naruto will almost certainly have a better ending than the upcoming trash ending Dogshit Piece is going to have that everybody can see from a thousand miles away. Shit Piece is worse than every long running battle shonen there is. Naruto is better, Dragon Ball is better, Hunter x Hunter is better, Yu Yu Hakusho is better, Bleach is better, etc...

>>283544180
The one piece reveal she true history and almost all the major questions. We need to know the true history before Luffy beats Imu as it adds weight to the fight and if it was after then what's the point?

>>283543983
it was planned for Ace.

>>283544180
No. Whitebeard said that a war will embrace the entire world after someone finds the one piece. Also Vega punk speech. Also Oden saying that they learned the whole story on raftel.

>>283543463
Indeed. The problem with blindly giving everyone freedom is that many people don't value it (in which case they will abuse it to take others' freedom, see CDs) or can't handle it (in which case they will ruin their lives and squander their freedom, see Barto). Freedom can be argued to be both a universal right that everyone is due, and a sacred treasure that one must be worthy of; I suppose the logical synthesis here is to declare it a right to become worthy. Furthermore, I recognize a distinction between short-term freedom and long-term freedom, and that it's arguably better to pursue the latter ahead of the former.

>>283544241
and the giant strawhat with Imu could've been Nika's hat but it's probably Joyboy's hat.

>>283544241
Imu is truly playing a game of reversi/Othello to overtake the world but can't finish because joyboy stole one of the pieces. ("What a funny story, joyboy").

>if the void century flashback is rushed and poorly thought out
Oda has had the Void Century backstory in his head and notes for nearly 30 years, it's serving as the based for the manga holding up Shonen Jump, it's been reviewed ten times over and it's going to be solid.

>>283544081
2029

>in regards to being asked how inanimate objects could eat devil fruits, Oda said that things would be revealed by Vegapunk
>get to Vegapunk
>he doesn’t reveal shit
I know we’re long past that but still kind of miffed. I’m sure we’ll get an extended explanation about them eventually but it feels like they glazed over talking about Devil Fruit in general even though that was supposed to be one of the main things always teased alongside Vegapunk’s reveal.

>>283544241
>>283544380
and Nika reincarnated to Joyboy who was in the giants tribe. Which is why the giants worshiped Nika and why Joyboy was a giant with a giant hat.

>>283544204
Well rushed as in you aren't giving it enough chapters to establish the characters and plot of it. It should be given like 20 chapter minimal because Joyboy, Davy, Lili and whoever are all basically new characters that need to be built. It's just hard to say what would make it good or throughout because I don't know what exactly oda wants to do with it at the moment. I just think one piece right now has a lot riding on this flashback.

>>283544410
>Oda has had the Void Century backstory
Yeah I have faith in him to delivery I guess my worry is how important it seems to be to my personal enjoyment of the series right now.

>>283544449
>because Joyboy, Davy, Lili and whoever are all basically new characters that need to be built
Not really
Oda could easily give all their backstories in just a few panels and boxes of text. The fact that they'll probably be clones of present day characters (Luffy, BB, Vivi, Shirahoshi etc) gives Oda even less incentive to flesh them out.

>>283544400

Trusting odas answers from interviews is a good way to get tricked because he often changes his mind in things.

Why isn't he named Clifford then?

>>283544783
>interest in the series dies as soon as Ulti's cover story ends

What would happen if a pregnant woman ate a devil fruit? Could she eat an additional one for each baby? If a fetus with devil fruit powers was aborted, would the power transfer to the mother?

>>283540058
What happened to him, bros?

>>283545054
Shamrock, Rosinante and Drake are a second set of three brothers.

>>283542506
Really odd for everyone to be eating them specifically like this, almost as though Imu is commanding them to.

Crazy how Rocks ended up being exactly like what a lot of people thought Roger was like when he was alive while Roger actually ended up just being Luffy with a sex drive.

>>283541177
Honestly, we need a Mariejoa episode so we can see the fallout of Vegapunk blowing the whistle. The fact that Shalria, at the very least, cared enough to actually watch the message needs to be explored. Not to mention check in on the Holy Knights

couldn't it be undone by pushing the person into the sea? It seems simple enough. Rocks could have jumped into the sea instead of looking for someone to kill him. I hate how suddenly Oda forgets about kairoseki and the main weakness of DFs. All DF users are fucked by the sea no matter how strong.

I wonder if the angel falling in the new episode represents Joyboy

>>283546013
Bon clay was hitting on Vivi

One day people will realize Oda's love for pirates is so deep that One Piece would've still existed without Toriyama/DB

So basically nothing interesting happened this chapter. It's just a filler which could have been replaced by a single narration panel saying that rocks was defeated by those two.

so, most theories about whatever the fuck chopper's deal is focus on his full human form looking like a sasquatch, but has anyone seen a theory about why is hybrid form is so weird?

Like, there's the doyalist explanation that it's a mix of early installment weirdness him being the mascot, but he seems to break every rule of zoans, being smaller in his hybrid form, using it as his default, and not looking anything like a human or reindeer.

>>283539947 (OP)
one piece would be a lot better if another character (maybe one not too powerful, but with some important lineage) was the chosen one, meanwhile luffy stays being luffy and rallying behind good causes and friendship, supporting good kings and dunking on tyrants.

luffy has no place as a chosen one, he doesn't have the personality for it, luffy is the dumb wrecking ball, not the one made to fix the world

>>283546080
NTA but in Alabasta Robin is 28

No it needs a 1km sea rise to fix it

>>283546123
Me neither, because genealogy lore and parallels are fun. Even if I do think it would be more impressive for strong characters to come from humble/literally who roots.

I do think people who deny the reality of nepo piece and eugenics jump/Japan to be willingly retarded though

Is it nepotism if Luffy was told his devil fruit sucks?

When are we finally going to be shown or told how Teech's body is special.

>>283546202
I wouldn’t even mind Davy Jones being a squid man

>>283546096

apparently, people close to oda have been saying that shanks might actually be way more important to joyboy's prophecy than we realize, and gabban outright called him "the child of destiny"

Frankly though, kuma would have been the perfect candidate if his fruit wasn't so OP right out the gate

>>283546282
>Luffy was told his devil fruit sucks
Never happened btw

Chosen one was a shit cliche until Oda implemented it into One Piece
Now its peak writing.

Why did Imu decide to erase God Valley?

The black pill is that you fags have Naruto PTSD, so now no one's allowed to do chosen one stories despite that beibg the most popular type of fiction.

You let a mediocre manga that betrayed its premise not even a quarter in shape the way you think stories should be told.

>>283546326
I think Ace mentioned it as kids no ?

>>283546332

>>283545379
she's very smart and cute!

>>283545924
They specifically said that the method for “feeding” a Devil Fruit to an inanimate object was something that Vegapunk came up with, so there has to be some actual process to it. Because I’m sure someone at some point probably tried to cut a DF in half and the knife they were using didn’t consume the DF, so there has to be more to it than that.
Again, would have been nice to elaborate on it but it’s probably one of those things that will only be brought up again in supplemental material or we’re just supposed to accept that “smart science guy figured it out” with no further explanation.

>>283546123
>people still didn't think we got shades of them by the time the story revealed Luffy was the grandson of a marine hero, son of the world's most wanted man, given a hat that belonged to former pirate king, was inspired by his apprentice, trained by his right hand, and hinted as early as Drum Island that the "D" was special with only a few characters having the initial

this. Based luffy for hard passing on a CD cumdump

>>283546401
Inorganic matter cannot eat anything its the height of Odas nonsense

>>283546282
No one has ever said that the Gomu was a bad/useless fruit. No DF in general has been called straight up bad. It’s actually the opposite. They state multiple times that a DF’s usefulness depends on how the user uses it.
The only time I remember a DF being called useless was Law talking about Corazon’s fruit, and even that had a use when it came to sneak attacks.

>>283546421
This is a meme in itself because otherwise the flashback would last twice as long, and it's already been a huge lore dump. And the flashback emphasizes the point that the World Government lies and you shouldn't actually listen to them when it comes to any kind of propaganda or their own made up history. Even Doflamingo mentioned during Marineford history is written by the winners, so why wouldn't the Marines give all the credit to Garp like they did with Smoker?

Even if DF is useless, Haki would cover its weakness anyway

What was Shiki, John and Ganzui's plan if Imu didn't show up and Rocks caught them stealing shit with the intent of leaving the crew?

>>283546543
Just fuck off before getting caught, all three went for do or die moves, and only Shiki made it.

>>283546543
Probably just thought they would be far enough away by the time he noticed.
In Shiki’s case at least he can make shit levitate so from his perspective what the fuck was Rock’s going to do? Fly after him?

>law and Bepo sleeping on Zeus
>That's a Kurau(Clou like prof Clou D Clover) City in Zou
>Zou is a cloud island

Any day now we will see Law and Bepo talking refuge in Zou through The Zou Vivre Card

I’ve got a good idea of what Xebec’s plan was, but it looks like his son ended up acquiring one of the Devil Fruits Xebec wanted to use to counter Imu. The other fruit was most likely the Nika Fruit, which Luffy now has.
Instead of building a giant army like his father intended with allying with Harold, Teach seems to be assembling a Devil Fruit army instead as a substitute. I could even see him obtaining Pluton at some point since Xebec wanted the Galley-La giants to build him his own Pluton originally which acquiring Pluton is also key to this.

>>283546601
Based on the known geography of the region, Law should arrive at either Wano or Elbaf.
If Zou was just walking in the area i'm gonna call it cheap.

>>283546615
No we were told one of them is the one that Loki got

>>283546615
I don’t think the other fruit is the Nika fruit. Even there he says that its power will only be unlocked if Harald eats it, so it has to be something to do with Harald being a Giant.

Zoro and Mihawk are the only self-made men in this manga.

>>283546652
The only opponents we saw Mohawk defeat are Don Krieg and Daz Bones.

>>283546624
Based on what now? we didn't see the background where Bepo was shown

You lying to yourself now?

Kiku is my wife

>>283546701
Also Zunesha doesn't have a Location and if he's close to Wano, Zunesha was just there and follows the beat of the drums so regardless he can be close to either location to begin with

It's not my responsibility that you started the series at God Valley.

>>283546652
>Ryuma descendant

>>283546766
Zunesha isn't a static island dummy

>>283546774
There's still one piece ambiton and fighting path

>>283546786
And it would be cheap that he just conveniently would put himself between Winner Island and Wano or Elbaf for the sake of plot.

>>283546766
>Old troon brain power

>>283546799
How would it be cheap? The last time we knew where Zunesha was he was at the coast of Wano, does cheap just mean that it would make you mad for whatever reason?

>>283546817
It would just be Oda forcing things for the sake of plot.
While not incoherent in itself it would be just...overly convenient, thus cheap.

Did we get any spoilers?

You look at the golden era of pirates, even the weaker pirates are worth 100 modern pirates. Even someone like John or Stussy is easily stronger than most modern guys

I appreciate the Auction House arc for giving Strawhat's some pirate rivals and showing us what the other top dog pirates of this era are like, but honestly they just come off as kinda weak nowadays, especially when compared to the golden era
Like 90% of the worst generation are dead or broken already. The only ones in the current generation that are any danger are Luffy or Blackbeard. Its starting to feel like any wank the current generation got is pretty fucking hollow at this point.

>>283546615
>The other fruit was most likely the Nika Fruit, which Luffy now has.
people keep saying this, like I believe it 0% at this point. They already said the other fruit was the Giant island fruit, which only a giant would be able to functionally use.

>>283546615
I'm just not seeing how the Nika fruit is 'oppose the ancient being controlling the world' levels of strong. It pretty much feels like a fruit that's only dangerous because the user makes it dangerous rather than inherently broken.
At least Yami Yami has the unconditional ability to negate Devil Fruit powers on contact, and presumably something else that made Teach want it so badly.

>>283546788
Technically, One Piece Fighting Path is closer to God Valley than OPA is. It'll probably be the first one piece game to adapt the story if we don't get a new, elbaf centered one in 2026 or. 2027

>>283547100
Luffy reality bends with Nika, who knows what Goyboy could do with it. The real asspull is that the Nika fruit even exists at all.

>>283541529
mohawk isn't in god valley so he's irrelevant as always

>>283547136
There's also bounty rush which is ehhh game but you don't have to jump through hoops to play it. Bounty rush is currently adding egghead characters and since it much lower effort they'd be the ones to add a character first probably after it's in the anime

>>283546869
Here, there's some other spoilers too like xebecs haki creating a big haki barrier and dragon threatens his superior officer.

>>283547149
>The real asspull is that the Nika fruit even exists at all.
Nah
>Vegapunk lays out how DF represents humanities countless dreams, anything humans dream up can be a DF
>While at the same time we know that apparently all DF were recorded ages ago in a bingo book
>Of course some people would wish to be Nika the sun god
>We already know that zoan aren't just "animals", but rather anything can be zoan. Zoan just allows you to turn into "something living". We've known that since Chopper had the human fruit, human isn't an animal, and mythical zoans reveal even gods or legendary animals still count as zoan
Zoan fruits kinda work like the hotsprings in Ranma, that can turn you into anything that drowned there, even if it breaks logic.

What you aren't ready for yet is the Davy Davy no Mi

And even then the Nika Nika fruit is fairly weak until it awakens. And only someone who lives entirely freely can awaken it.

we used to atleast get 2 or 3 moves out of someone that isn't a strawhat for battles, why did Oda get lazy wiht it and leave it to the animators to make shit up like Shanks using an actual haki susano beyblade hologram so I can't blame them since there isn't much material

atleast in marine ford guys like Akainu showcase enough moves to have a sense of style thats suited to them, look at Ace vs Blackbeard, it was atleast 2 chapters and we get to see Ace actually show how he uses the mera mera different from Sabo to this day, Ace sort of fights like a magic flame cowboy while Sabo is just boring pipe man but with fire, no shade

>>283547213
I was in the mood for an OP game last year and I tried Bounty Rush. I had fun for a few days but in addition to wanting a better looking game, I also wanted a story to play through. So after months of procrastinating I finally downloaded Fighting Path.

I basically just mindlessly copied the youtube tutorial without actually paying attention to what I was doing so I know I'm screwed if I ever get signed out lol, but I don't regret the hassle one bit. It's fun as shit. You can free sail from island to island (it's extremely limited and barebones but it's still fun to explore), every single unit is jampacked with effort and nice visuals, it's slightly f2p friendly (you can rent characters), and there's more PVE modes. One of the recent ones I can't find anymore kind of felt like a miniature Pirate Warriors.

>>283547149
>who knows what Goyboy could do with it
if JB was a god mode level pirate, how did he die? Or did he live out his days like rayleigh and gaban, knowing he couldn't change anything?

>>283547267
>Marco
>father named Polo
Still waiting for him to join the RHPs btw

as predicted, Garling being champion of God Valley just means that he killed the most unarmed toddlers like an israeli super soldier

>>283547274
on another part, to be fair, Oda being "lazy" is harsh frankly, more of him literally dying so he can no longer pain a picture but give us a vision instead I suppose

>>283547405
B-but he's strong! There's a reason for his strength! Goda said so!

>>283547419
Well to be fair his opponent was Rocks, the top 1 player of the times if we set Imu aside.

>>283547419
let this be a lesson to every shankstards ignoring things in their faces to hype up a character like ignoring that Whitebeard didn't have a scar in the oden flashback

>>283547332
Betting on Imu told the twenty kingdoms that goyboy was building weapons of mass destruction, and they all banded together to destroy the ancient kingdom. Which became the origin of the Buster Call.

Joyboy enjoyed building his living robots like Emeth, which were not designed for war at all. He listened to the voice of all things, he had a pet elephant, he talked to all of his creations apparently.

Ultimately I'm thinking the thing that decided the war was Imu getting his hands on Uruanus: which is some sort of flying ship which can bomb the shit out of islands. Which resulted in Imu bombing everything to death until 90% of the world was under water. Until Imu quite literally used it so much that it ran out of power, and he could never use it again, since the only one that could make fuel for it was Joyboy the scientist. Until 10000 years later Vegapunk was born, and Imu stole Vegapunk's gay eternal flame in order to once again restart the ancient weapon project so he could restart his plans to sink the entire world for no fucking reason until he's the only person left alive. Imu was quite literally powerless until Vegapunk provided just what he needed to restart his ancient weapon

Joyboy made sure the other ancient weapons are preserved because they will be necessary one day to stop Imu's ancient weapon. Strawhat pirates are going to have to assemble the other ancient weapons. Because at some point near the end of the story when Imu runs out of options he's just going to reveal himself to the world and just start destroying the world openly once he's finally dragged out into the open.

>>283547274
>we used to atleast get 2 or 3 moves out of someone that isn't a strawhat for battles
We still do, you speedreader. But as usual, you'll just run to the defense that Wano didn't matter or that it was so bad you chose to forget it.

>>283547553
name 3 rocks moves

>>283547567
kek he's quite real quick

So half of all relevant characters were there and know firsthand what happened at God Valley and that Imu is a thing and that Elders are demons? Will Mr. Rogers make an appearance?

>>283545335
>Isaac Newton
Anglosaxon from back when they self-promoted
>Albert Einstein
Yiddish prodigy who went to Switzerland
>Mike Tyson
>Michael Jordan
DEI, let's be honest
>Paul McCartney
Beatles member and former pretty boy

I honestly really fucking hate theories that just insist that character A is related to character B or whatever because it'd be hype.
I can get behind shit like Sasaki being Kokoro's son, but when it's something like Harald being related to Kaido because they kind of look kind of similar or Mihawk being Imu's son I lose interest.

>>283547642
>Mr. Rogers
He passed asway long ago.

Again, no
As far as anyone knows except for Rocks, all that happened is "Saint Saturn used some wierd technique" and "For some reason Rocks decided to betray everyone and grew twice as big, I guess he ate a DF without us knowing about it"

Don't assume the characters in a story and the reader of the story have access to the same information. Literally no one who was there had any idea what was happening. They were still referring to the enemy as Saint Saturn, they didn't known it was posessed by some weird shadow demon.

>>283547656
oda groomed his cult into believing being related to other character is the hypest shit ever

NTA, but

If you're going to say these don't count because they're nameless, then Whitebeard and Garp had none before Egghead and Elbaf.

remember when people thought this was about rocks' crew bailing on him after things went sour at god valley, instead of the man who repeatedly made it clear he wants to take over the world getting pierced by moloch and being corrupted by him
it would take them like two seconds total to question why rocks would suddenly drop everything he's worked decades for in favor of sucking the WG's dick

>>283547737
no it doesn't count since it is basic shit that Zoro can do not really having a sense of style like the example with Ace

Full thread of Oda doubters. It's crazy

>>283539947 (OP)
It's
Luffy = Roger
Koby = Garp
BB = Xebec

>>283547763
Bro Kaido is dumb and drunk.
Whitebeard knew something was up but only had suspicions. Big Mom was like whatever I have my own ambitions.

>>283547788
The ending is only kino if Buggy wins.

>>283547800
whitebeard was with rocks for TEN YEARS (the SH have only been together for about four months) and he still went "yeah rocks betrayed us and hated us all along"
he bought the WG narrative

>>283547811
in many ways Sengoku is the biggest bad guy for gaslighting blackbeard into thinking whitebeard was a bad guy to him

>>283547811
But WB never mentioned Rocks within the main story ?
If anything he probably took in BB out of reverence to Rocks.

>>283547811
Ironically Whitebeard was loyal to Rocks, having his back instantly saying he owed him for the drinks. Kinda bullshit he gave up on him that quickly.

>>283547811
>whitebeard was with rocks for TEN YEARS (the SH have only been together for about four months) and he still went "yeah rocks betrayed us and hated us all along"
I don't think we ever got what Whitebeard actually thought of Rocks in the main story anon.
Is this anime only bullshit?

>>283547688
What kind of kick do you get out of lying through your teeth?

>>283540151
Garling is shank's father while roger is shank's daddy

>>283547901
literally none of that babble=chosen one nepo baby

>>283547915
That's one way to put it, but I hate what became of the word "daddy".

The fuck's going on in Amazon Lily?!

Hold your horses, Spee D. Reader

>>283546403
>given a hat that belonged to former pirate king
That was more impactful as the initial impression was that he was just a humble village boy from a humble island village who earned that honor by purely independent display of will/attitude worthy of carrying on the King's legacy
>grandson of a marine hero
>marine
Who cares
The relation and his importance wasn't clarified till way later in W7, and in general the story was showing us that "marine heroes" were insignificant scrubs
>was inspired by his apprentice
This relation wasn't revealed until Marineford
>trained by his right hand
Not until Sabaody
>and hinted as early as Drum Island that the "D" was special with only a few characters having the initial
And this was when eugenics Piece started to be hinted at. Doesn't mean it's not worth criticizing/disliking forever.

It's fun in it's own way, but it's not as badass as willpower born from soul alone instead of tough blood

Please just end it all.

kek

>>283547989
thats what I'm saying, honestly one of the most retarded post I ever seen even by /opg/ standards

>>283547990
>what Roger and Shanks fans expected
What were they expecting? What is that image supposed to convey?

>>283548026
that they are not swordsmen but haki men using a (ha)ki blast

>>283547989
Looks like I hit a nerve

yeah bro, I was only pretending to be retarded

>>283548043
You mean like how garp did when he attacked pirate island?

>>283548133
Dismissing black prodigies as DEI is such an obvious race joke that you'd have to be clinically retarded to assume he was being serious.

One Piece wasn't written for a black audience.

>>283548163
yeah bro, you sure showed them to make an ass out of yourself to own the libs

>>283547803
>he's doubting now

Lmao

>>283548194
I low key feel like Bleach was.

>>283548149
Garp is legit not a swordsman at all so what are your trying to say exactly

>>283548200
Malding behind the keyboard

>>283548194
no shit retard, is made by a japanese guy and written in japanese

>>283548113
>Zoroaches really be like this

>>283548239
I could use Law again, but everyone knows what Zoroposting is shorthand for.

>>283548220
That despite the jokes haki blasts are in fact (unfortunately) a thing in one piece.

I assumed the joke here was making fun of the very idea of "haki blasts" and yet... we've literally seen characters haki punch so hard it causes an explosive blasts that hurt enemies from a distance.

>>283541774
Nah that's definitely a shitpost, probably a commission even.

>>283548180
Is this the new Jackposting?
Also Saturn is dead replace him with Gunko.

>>283548285
alright nerd, stfu

Single biggest gigachad in the entire series

>>283545487
I'm sick of Hakimen. I wanted him to have a salt-themed devil fruit.

>>283545487
great character but is unfortunate he came at a time where Oda stopped giving a shit about fleshing about a characters ability

I really would've liked if he fights like Cervantes but he seems like another boring Roger clone in terms of battle, other than that he would be perfect

>>283548522
Are you salty about it?

>>283548535
Gotta wonder whether Roger picked this move up from Rocks

>>283548473
Why the fuck can someone easily find Imus coping room?

>>283546034
DBbros... We lost our cope

>>283548587
I mean there was an admiral, and then he one tapped him.

>>283548535
Swordsmen all fight the same in OP. It's fucking boring really. There's no real unique fighting styles. Not that many fighters who combine swordplay with their Devil Fruits creatively. The best you'll get is someone like Zoro who has a gimmick. Mihawk, Rayleigh, Rocks, Garling, Shanks, Roger, they all fight the same. Couldn't even give Rocks a unique weapon like an anchor or a cannon or something.

>>283541924
In the same sense stocks are money

>>283548583
another think is, Zoro basically did this shit since Skypiea, is so much hyping up a move thats really just a bigger pound cannon, Rayleigh, Rocks, Roger and Shanks all practically have the same fighting style with minimal differences

hell fucking Mihawk is more unique as a swordsman, atleast he has used a knife instead of a sword to flex on Zoro, Karate Chopped Zoro and used his sword as some sort of plunging anchor which was cool, is also frustrating how we seen Rocks hold a guns and shoot in a davy back montage so it disappoints me how he doesn't actually fight with a pirate esque sword and pistol combo

>>283543832
Bad end 40 year old Robin is still doable

>>283542205
>obligatory "child plays with a woman's massive tits" scene
Does this happen irl in Japan? Or is it just an excuse to show Nami getting her funbags fondled without the baggage of romance or canon sexual assault?

>>283548620
no they don't, Zoro, Ohm, Law, Fujitora, Hachi, Brook, Kaku are actually unique as swordsmen and have distinct styles

Never forget HIM

>>283541256
She doesnt have the best anything.

>>283542205
What's Toko doing?

>>283548620
Nowadays it feels like when oda wants to not have to think about how to draw the fights he gives the character a sword. They just do some basic sword swing and sometimes with haki which is about it. Giving rocks something like daggers or what you said would have been so much cooler even if the it's still just swinging around a weapon.

>>283548620
>>283548677
but nevertheless I do obviously agree that Rocks a being another Roger clone in terms of ability is disappointing

inb4, someone says had using none cutting attack occasionally is totally unique even though Zoro did this shit in Whiskey Peak to not cut the bounty hunter

>>283548677
A lot of the guys you listed have fruits which helps immensely in making them feel unique. Though I agree they have a unique sword style so I guess Oda just ran out of ideas.

>>283548683
she is the most popular post-ts character though so that makes her objectively the best

>>283542506
Imu is so funny looking here. They look genuinely interested in getting a bite of that sausage.

>>283545487
Character wise I think he was a great addition especially for BB and didn't detract from the overall setting in the least. He definitely carries this flashback as without him being the focus I think I would have lost interest. Only gripe as others mentioned is his fighting style is lame which isn't unfortunate because any game or whatever he appears in won't have any cool moves for him.

>>283548723
fair and I will state once again that he actually bothered making Mihawk more unique than the Roger clones as mentioned >>283548647


is like Oda is kinda forced to since Yoru is a JRPG level of ridiculousness as a sword like the Buster Sword and Masamune in FFVII

>>283548686
She found a water jet and is... enjoying herself

>>283548733
Maybe the timeskip really is as bad as they say.....

>>283547206
Mihawk is the strongest character in one piece
After jozu

Tama won.
