Absolutely everything I know about the story, characters, etc was taken exclusively from the fight scenes. One Piece is just too damn far ahead to get into so I just collected data from interaction sequences and dialogue during fights, which brings me to my question:
What exactly is fucking happening? I know defeated Doflamingo but what does that mean for the stories progression? Also, what is a good arc, episode, chapter to start on?
All you need to know isthe pleasure of being cummed inside
>>150161690
this image is painful to look at
>>150161690
start from the beginning of water 7 i'v watched up to then and am personally in love with one piece, i will catch up before they finish for sure.
Read the manga faggot. Start from chapter 1.
just read post time skip
Best boy here
>>150161801
No, fuck you.
>>150161690
>What exactly is fucking happening?
The setting is going from "let's have an ADVENTURE", to "let's try and keep this idiot alive as he bumbles through a complicated martial-political landscape of titans who have been the zeniths of power in the world for a couple decades"
>I know defeated Doflamingo but what does that mean for the stories progression?
He's been set up as a big player, likely the second most powerful of a group of government sanctioned pirates responsible for policing other pirates, who was also playing the government by secretly being a weapons dealer for the very people he's supposed to be a check against. The latter is why his defeat is such a big deal - it's immediately gained the attention of two of the aforementioned titans who relied on him to supply them in their war against each other and the government.
>Also, what is a good arc, episode, chapter to start on?
The fucking beginning, smartass. Oda, for all the shit he's gotten, actually put a fair amount of foreshadowing early on. Or, arguably, is just really good at repurposing previously unexplained loose ends as new plot elements.
>>150161823
Its running for another 15+ years dont worry about it taking long
>>150161690
I've watched the entire English dub. Only skipped the filler. Many fun weeks.
OP here. I wasn't aware how long the manga would be running for so I guess I'll start from square zero. Don't want any nigger-faggots shitposting how Im a nazi for not starting from chapter 1 like the rest of the fedora-tipping cucks. Besides I'll probably get some sick Law exposition.
>>150161992
>start from square 0
>not starting from ch1
Not gonna make it
>>150161992
You're not a "nazi", you're just being fucking lazy!

>>150162115
I want to say something back for you calling me lazy but since you provided those links I'll just do what you say in reluctant appreciation. So thanks.
Fucking faggot.
>>150161992
Just a warning: the manga is mostly entertaining and interesting, but the anime eventually degrades. It starts around the arc called Water 7, it gets really bad at Sabaody Archipielago, and is criminal in Dressrosa.
Now you know so maybe stick to the manga.
>>150162225
You're welcome!
Love you too!
>>150162243
Thanks. Got links for that nakama? Cant use mangareader anymore because I have adblock..

>>150161992
lol iktf anon except i havent read or watched a single anime/manga in over 2 years. I just find that shit tedious and time consuming. I do look up summaries to get a glimpse of what is going on and have been participating in discussions too. the dialogue is also so cringy.
>>150161851
>Oda, for all the shit he's gotten, actually put a fair amount of foreshadowing early on. Or, arguably, is just really good at repurposing previously unexplained loose ends as new plot elements.
I second this. I've read all ~800 chapters in a couple months, and it's pretty cool how stuff that was referenced in chapter ~200 shows up again in ~600.
But I imagine the pacing must be mind-boggling if you're reading this slowly over DECADES. Hell, everything from Skypeia through Marineford was awesome, but Fishman Island is making me want to claw my eyes out with WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS everywhere.
>>150162313
batoto doesnt have onepiece, so use kissmanga.
some of the early scans are duwang-tier but it adds to the charm. you gotta remember that people were scanlating this shit up on AOL back in the day, nigga
>>150164402
As somebody thats been reading One Piece for 10 years... Yep.
Holy shit, I just woke up and saw the last thread. Are we finally free? I've been waiting for this moment to finally happen.
>>150166149
Are OP threads banned now?
>>150161690
I can't believe no one's called you a faggot yet, OP... Because you're a pretty big faggot.
>>150166271
see:
>>150162493
I see no improvement though, do you? Because In this thread I don't see much happening other than coddling and spoonfeeding someone who doesn't even read the manga.
>>150164402
I guess it depends on personality, but I do find enjoyable not being able to read a new chapter for a week, particularly during more dynamic stretches when every chapter gets some new big reveal and I anticipate new chapter instead of immediately reading it. Although it does get a bit boring in sort of mid-arc parts when you know perfectly well who all the players are along with their motivation and each chapter is characters running forward in order to get to the big fight(Dressrosa was particularly bad for it).
>>150166689
Better than a hundred posts of some retard forcing his memes.
Would a story like One Piece work as a written adventure serial? Or do you think one would need to have actual fantastical images and a goofy artstyle and visual gags to make it work?
>>150166914
There's too much ifs about this idea. One of the strengths of literature is the fact that visualization happens by the reader, so if you make a colorful description using more conceptual terms and metaphors rather than literal it could be very interesting, but if you just go and try to retell something like Kaku's looks as "bipedal giraffe with square-shaped nose and neck" it will just sound stupid. Also depends how much "like" One piece are we talking about, from direct novelization to just a humorous adventure story set in the sea world.
Capone «Gang» Bege is the most ruthless and efficient pirate out there. All of his missions are success unlike Jack the Drowned. That's why he will rightfully conquer Big Mom's empire.

Episode/Chapter 1 idiot. Do you think this is Detective Conan or some shit? It's an ongoing story with elements from earlier chapters being used much later. Heck even the current arc is an example of this.
Alright, last time I watched One Piece was during saturday morning broadcast tv when I was 10, last I remember was chopper being introduced. I don't plan on watching/reading until there is a higher quality Kai-style reboot in 18 years.
Could someone spoiler me what happened after the Timeskip? Who is Doflamingo? From the sounds of things Oda's trying to avoid the Powercreep by putting up a ceiling and switching tact by making it political.
>>150167377
>inb4 no brook or chopper at all
I WANT TOsaveTHE RABBIT!!!
>>150167699
You should've included the speech bubble.
>>150167377
no hiatus until 2017 at least
>>150167811
Does that mean there won't be WSJ at all next week?
Reminder that Brook only use the surprise effect to be relevant.
>>150167811
please use the fixed version or idiots get confused
>>150167847
It means that this year there are 52 mondays, no break don't worry
>>150167699
What's up with the bruises? Was she beaten up?
I hate how Oda off-paneled the whole Mirror World action.
>>150167879
I'll totally remove the yellow boxes since it keeps happening
>>150167615
Post-timeskip, the characters traveled to several islands, on which they befriended wacky natives, explored fantastic lands, and fought wicked villains.
Tianjihado Loluflamingo is a guy who wears glasses and doesn't like Law.
>>150167215
Weren't you the guy in the last thread complaining about memes
Or are you piggybacking the one he halfheartedly made as a joke
>>150167811
>no hiatus until 2017 at least
Noice. Hope "tommorow wedding" ceremony finaly started in 1-2 chapters.
>>150167895
Gotta give something for the anime to make up filler about, anon.

>>150167879
>no hiatus until 2017
Because we're only a couple weeks away from the christmas break anyways.
>>150167615
there's never going to be a redraw of the manga, might as well read what's colored for maximum quality.
anyway
>Could someone spoiler me what happened after the Timeskip?
Luffy and the crew took two years to train themselves for the new world by each being sent to an area of their interest
>Who is Doflamingo?
A recurring character throughout the series that finally has his path crossed paths with Luffy's quest to become pirate king, he is one of the the seven Shichibukai and is very formidable and probably almost on par with Yonko commanders. He is known as Joker in the underground black market and is a key piece in a lot of people's operation.
>>150167948
>>150167993
That's what happens when you ask somebody to summarize 700 chapters.
>>150167932
>>150167939
Well nothing stopped Oda from having a break before the Christmas break last year, so I guess we're lucky
>>150167811
>no hiatus until 2017 at least
where was this confirmed?
>>150161866
the filler isnt all that bad
you're missing out if you skipped over the filler arc thats immediately after skypeia
>>150167993
so, yonkou released his version of the latest chapter
somehow the translation manages to be even worse than niggastream

>>150168140
Only G8 and possibly the singular episodes like things after Arabasta and W7 are good. Sitting through entire arcs like dragons, memory thief, and ice hunters is fucking torture.
Would | be right in guessing that Brook is the only one who can directly counter Smoothie? I mean she can't exactly juice someone whose alreadydry as a bone, can she?
Well i always tought Big Mom would lose this arc but...
I'm starting to think this arc might be to Wano what was Impel Down to Marineford. So which future allies are in the prison book? And what will happen to Capone?

Only 1/7 of the thread gives a fuck about some faggot, the rest are just discussing One piece and making jokes.
>>150168075
Issue 1 was confirmed
We know Oda never missed a double Issue in all One Piece history
Reading all the chapters takes like a week.
>>150166689
Holy cow, I know this board was going shit but I didn't know mods were actively ruining it.
Also, Why only OP thread, the same rules could have been applied to a lot of other thread.
>>150168793
Maybe if you're NEET and even then you would have to be speed reading
>>150168804
it's not only OP
DJT got moved /int/; buyfag, drawfag, sad panda, jojo etc. all got the same "suggestions"
>>150168804
It was necessary it was really getting out of hand. The threads will be slower now but i think that's overall better. It's not like shitposting and memes are really banned.
>>150168878
What!? What they'll do next, ban manga from /a/ so it could be an Anime only board? Ban every series that they don't like? At this point I expect /a/ to became a Sao/Re:Zero Retard-board by the end of the year.
>>150161690
I suggest to read only the start (like first 3/4 tank) ad it's really fast in the beginning, the Drum arc and Skypea arc. You can skip the test and look it up on the wikis.
>>150168978
I'm not against new regolamentation, I'm against double standard and shitty decisions.
>>150168978
I hope the jack posters get to stay
>>150169082
They're not banning series, they're trying to improve quality of discussion. All of these threads were complete cesspools for a long time now, because without new content to discuss community just starts circulating same boring ideas constantly making them more and more pointless. Another OP/JoJo/Fate thread full of identical posts and memes do nothing but take up space.
Also they don't even prohibit having new threads, they've put very sensible suggestions about keeping things in one thread until its physical death and refraining from regurgitating shit like forced memes.
>>150168517
Never Toei.
>>150166689
MODS=GODS
>>150169407
Ad I said in >>150169347 I'm okay with that, I'm not okay with double standard.
If you try to improve the quality of the board you don't regulate only some thread, if that did that for the most popular Anime of the season threads, or Re:Zero threads, that are always a shitstorm, /a/ would die.

Is BM bipolar and psychotic?
Apparently cannibal (if that scene was not a gag), ruthless in terms of swatting enemies in her territory if the stories are to be believed her underlings do kill. Forcefully marries of her children, cares not at all for any of the many husbands she's had, because all relationships are for political marriages. Goes into some kind of psycho rage when things don't go her way.
But can still be rational, create plans, lead and make deals. Wants to be PK and we're yet to see how she rose to power and what drives the motivations.
So far a much better antagonist than anything else in NW so far. Doffy's arc and character was squandered in comparison.
I have been following one piece for some 10 years now. However, i have not read a single issue since the end of dressrosa because i am just tired of waiting week after week for a single issue. I am glad i made this choice because as far as i know the current arc is focussed on sanji, which is the crew member i have always found most boring, bland and uninteresting.
>>150171578
This arc won't change your opinion though. He is still all of that and much more
>>150171578
This arc will worsen your opinion of him, as he decides to play both Nami and Robin from Arlong park and Enies Lobby respectively, despite being there for both of them to learn the same lesson of trusting his friends and even having learned it himself back at Baratie. His character literally makes a full regression through any development the crew had so far.
OP is a faggot
>The King of the pirates
>Captured and imprisoned by a pirate
>>150171887
Did you forget the fact he has those exploding bracelets on his arms and BM crew would kill the whole Baratie crew in a second is Sanji rebelled.
>>150171887
>>150171647
For fuck's sake.
Couldn't Oda just leave it as him just being an orphan who was working on the orbit in order to sustain himself? At least i will be able to binge the whole thing and be done with it as soon as it is over.
>>150172183
Did you forget the actual strongest man in the world has been captured and lost a lot back in the day?
>>150172255
Don't listen this faggot. Sanji is fine in this arc. He's sprouting meme argument "It's the same as X" while in fact it's hardly similar.
>>150172268
Roger was only captured once when he chose to be
>>150172240
Did you forget that he learned to live for his own dream as Zeff wanted instead of constantly repaying the debt to Zeff? Did you forget how both Nami and Robin only worsened the situation for the entire crew by dragging the fight to the villains' bases out of their disbelief in Luffy, despite the fact that Strawhats could defeat them? If Sanji actually followed what him and his friends have learned in their adventure, he wouldn't be wearing those bracelets as the crew is split up and only actual strong fighter available is imprisoned, he'd be fighting alongside his whole crew in a fight that Luffy was going to get into anyway.
>>150172410
The actual strongest man in the world is Kaido. Roger is dead, anon and we don't know much about his journey.
>>150161690
Before you start make sure you watchBoku no Picofirst. If you don't you're going to be lost.
>>150172513
"Man" means a male example of a human species. Kaidou is of a separate branch of especially large giants.
>>150172513
Kaido likes to be captured mate, he's looking how to fucking die
Luffy wants to live and be pirate king and is getting fucking captured
>>150172183
>One of the four emperors
>got his arm chopped off by a shitter seaking that someone of the east blue can knock out with a single punch
>>150172564
We don't even know if he's a giant. And if human-fish are humans he is also an human.
> Kaido likes to be captured mate, he's looking how to fucking die
Headcanon. It's clearly stated he has been defeated 7 times. Not counting the times he has been captured.
Do you guys really believe Kaido, Roger, WB, Garp, Big Mom have never lost? They became top tier in one day? Just look at BB and his crew, he's now one of the most influent and powerfull pirate in the world and has been btfo countless times.

Are we ever going to see Luffy launch a Gear 3rd attack at Gear 2nd speed?

>>150168311
What's up with this "there's too much to read/watch!" attitude anyway? Just start read/watch it little by little and you'll get there eventually. It's not like a series like One Piece is going to end anytime soon anyway, so you can easily take months to read everything and still not miss the big ending.
What is he doing at the moment? Is he dead?

I think so, that's how it worked with every other devil fruit similar to his
