One Piece

Probably

Rereading One Piece has been a bit of a bummer now that I am redpilled
Just read through Fishman Island and all of its story basically amounts to being globalist propaganda

One Piece is still great. You just lost interest.

>Implying Water 7 was the best arc when Skypiea exists
This is how I can easily filter out plebs

>>158783801
This.

I'm loving Whole Cake Island.

WCI is just as good

The abundance of characters which means less screentime for the straw hats plus most of them losing what made them great pre-timeskip (Nami, Robin, Franky, Chopper..) doesn't help i guess...

>>158783855
Skypiea is the arc that suffers the most from being read the first time around, since it feels so separate from the rest of the story. It's much more enjoyable on rereads.

To be honest, they downplayed the effect of the lightning, not sure why but the manga looked like it was far more dangerous.
He would still win in a fight, she's strong though, no doubt about that.

>>158784936
this is just fetish material done by a shit studio

post ts = pre ts

still skypiea best arc though

>>158784993
I think the way its headed now, WCI will be best arc and if Oda can keep up the momentum, the next 10 years of one piece will be the best by far.

Pirate Warriors 4 when?

>>158784979
And its cute as fuck, what else do you want?

>>158785091
A proper adaptation not done by Miyazaki

I feel like people are giving WCI too much credit. Its good but its not "best arc in years material.

>>158783656
I want Marineford babies to leave

>>158785119
Oh god no, there's too much material. Besides, we dont need a director, we need a studio that isn't stretching for time.

>>158785030
funnily enough, wci is by far my least favorite of post-ts so far.

It felt rushed at times to me, and just overall underwhelming for a yonko arc, even though big mom herself is great.

>>158785185
We do need a director. They could just remake old arcs into movies using new footage, and maybe one or two twists that didn't happen in the original manga.

>>158785120
Once we get further removed from it and people forget how much of a drag it was in real time to read there's going to be a ton of people who think Dressrossa was the best arc.

>>158784891
Time skips aren't automatically bad writing. The context here is that Luffy and co must prepare for the cruelest sea they're about to enter.

>tfw i dropped OP after Punk Hazard
I just couldn't take it anymore. I didn't like a single arc post time-skip and when i got to the Gladiator thing i didn't want to deal with another Alabasta so i just dropped it.
From what i hear, Big Mom's arc is pretty much just Thriller Bark but with candy people instead of zombies, so i don't think i missed out.
But part of me wants to pick it up again for the obligation of finishing it.

>>158785295
Dressrosa being bad is a meme.

>>158785472
Were you reading weekly or in chunks?

>>158785472
Tell me what you want from 1P and we can tell you whether or not to finish it. Bonus points if you tell us your gender

>>158785472
Regarding Big Mom, you heard wrong. Different structure than Thriller Bark and Sanji is heavily focused on personal level in this arc.

Zou arc which is a mini arc before it the same way Jaya was before Skypiea is also an okay read.

I agree that Dressrosa was bloated.

>>158785517
Dressrosa isn't bad.

It's just too much Law and Doflamingo fanservice

>>158785295
I unironically think 1P's manga is too fast at many points and you can tell Oda is so used to writing/drawing specific things he starts skipping things

>>158785517
It's an accurate meme. It's long, borring and comletely pointless. The only good thing about it is Senior Pink's backstory.

>>158784147
Was this arc that bad? I forget.

>Water 7/Enies Lobby
>Good
Pick one and only one fags.
Asspulls with O MY 9 SWORD STYLE and O MY FLAMING LEGS.
Shitty power scaling. Sanji struggles against Blueno's tekkai yet can beat up Jabra the so called "master" at tekkai.
Muh boat is an inanimate object that can talk and sail by itself.
Bustercall was completely pointless when the fucking vice admirals did nothing to try and capture the SHs.
Usopp throws away everything and acts completely out of character just to force some drama. Like he really thinks Luffy didn't think hard about getting a new ship, or really doesn't value his friends after saving their fucking assess time and time again.
Muh Sogeking.
Only good thing was Robin's backstory.

>>158785612
Law basically polled ahead of Luffy on the popularity poll though it's exactly what the fanbase wanted from them.

>>158783855
I liked it at the beginning, but it bored me as the arc went along. And then the fact you can get rid of 90% of it and it wouldn't make much of a difference only makes it worse.

>>158785649
>Asspulls with O MY 9 SWORD STYLE and O MY FLAMING LEGS.
I think you're reading a comedy for the wrong reasons.

>>158785614
Honestly this. Most of the time when the anime drags parts out its awful but sometimes the extra buildup makes the scenes even better.

>>158785324
>Time skips aren't automatically bad writing
Nah. If it leads to a sequel, like Naruto>Boruto as a bad example it is acceptable.

>The context here is that Luffy and co must prepare for the cruelest sea they're about to enter.
Sure, but that´s pretty bad writing in my book and doesn´t require a timeskip. It´s pretty much like this:
>Guy isn´t strong enough to beat character x
>Okay let´s make him train for 2 years
>Beats character x one arc later

>>158784147
this was like a One Piece movie made it into the manga

>>158785560
Weekly
>>158785574
I'm a guy
Honestly, I don't even know. I just want enjoyable arcs.
For some reason, i didn't like any of the TS ones. Fishman island was a huge drag (especially considering that Hodie was just a guy on super drugs), Punk Hazard was also long as shit but i liked Shulolo-gasman. I fucking hated the dragon kid.
If you ask me what arcs i liked, i probably can't give you a straight up answer. I just liked the "feel" that OP had before.
Maybe i got too old

>>158785649
And the gears. Can't call foreshadowed 9 swords asspull unless gears are an asspull. I want to reread to see if muh firelegs are foreshadowed, but I've got no idea.
Also, tekkai was super inconsistent for all of them

>>158785130
>OP talks about Water 7
>Gets labeled a Marineford baby

>>158785797
Reread it in a chunk.

>>158785802
There is a page were Luffy says he wants to try out some new moves. It's sparse, but it's there.

>>158785802
Of course how could I forget the gears.
>Can't call foreshadowed 9 swords asspull
Am i a Spee D. Reader? When was this foreshadowed.

>>158785649
Every single one of your complaints applies specifically to Enies Lobby
Water 7 is different
>Usopp throws away everything and acts completely out of character just to force some drama. Like he really thinks Luffy didn't think hard about getting a new ship, or really doesn't value his friends after saving their fucking assess time and time again.
Humans aren't 100% logical everytime. The Go Merry meant a lot to him and he didn't believe it was worth abandoning it until it broke down before his eyes.

>>158784147
i thought this arc was filler for the longest time

i still liked it a lot though

>>158785757
That's the most perfect description I have ever read of it.

>>158783868
whole cake island is good, but let's not pretend people saying one piece went to shit after the timeskip are entirely wrong. Fishman island was hyped for so fucking long and it was trash. Hazard Punk was pretty garbage too, even when taking it as just a setup arc and comparing it to other setup arcs. Dressrosa COULD have been good and certainly had some hype as fuck moments, but it dragged on and on and could've been shortened a few month's worth of chapters.

but yes, Whole Cake Island is the shit.

>>158785900
All his attacks are demonic or animalistic in some way. Enbina Yonezu Oni Giri was used earlier in Enies Lobby against a bunch of guards too, that was an illusion that showed potential.

>>158785797
>a drag
I am of the opinion One Piece is too fast. I really wish it would slow down a bit

>>158785906
>The Go Merry meant a lot to him and he didn't believe it was worth abandoning it until it broke down before his eyes
So what. The GO Merry meant a lot to everyone. Oda made Usopp act out of character for forced drama.

>>158786009
Sorry but I don't count that as foreshadowing.

>>158783656
really?i kind of didnt like water 7 all that much

fights were not very interesting, and i really dont like franky as a crew member.

Chimney,Kokoro and Spandam were fun though.
Also Robin's backstory was nice but thats it.


really though,i feel like one piece's getting worse every arc since the beginning.East blue feels like the best saga while dressrosa feels like the worst.I still like it though,it gets worse by time but not too much.

What would be considered foreshadowing? It's a fact that there has always been a spiritual nature to zoro as a swordsman

>>158784817
Zoro was on the back foot and look at Carrot's eyes in the clip.
Absolute determination. She would have continued her attack relentlessly and need I remind you that was far from her strongest attack.
Zoro got knocked out by the Yeti Cool bros. His durability is inconsistent. Zoro could easily have capitalized on that surprise and hit him with one over her various more powerful attacks we've seen her use since.

>>158786349
I did say I would stop, and I did.

>>158783922
Alabasta feels bit unfair since it was more of a culmination of everything that came before it.

Skypiea and Drum are probably the most satisfying self contained arcs.

Baroque works storyline in general was best one piece in every way.

>>158785974
Agree with everything you said!

I'd love to see a proper poll conducted on readers to see if they enjoyed Fishman Island or not. The most underwhelming factor for me was, Strawhats just super leveled up in the timeskip, and are now debuffed by being in water. I dont' exactly remember most of the details of what happened there, strangely enough.

>>158786356
The Vivre Card, forshawdowing Jinbe all the way back at Arlong Park, mention of Boa Hancock on Thriller Bark and Lola mentioning her mom is a big deal in the New world, shit like that. Some random attack that has "spiritual nature" doesn't mean Zoro should grow two more heads and four more arms. It's fucking stupid and contrived.

>>158786098
No, it wasn't. The Going Merry was given to them by Kaya, and for Usopp, Kaya meant more to him than any of the other crew members. Usopp wouldn't have bothered fixing the damn thing time and time again with his amateur skills if it didn't mean anything more to him.

Pica looks about 200-300 feet wide, i'd say judging for the buildings surrounding him.

>>158786544
Yeah no. The going merry was given to everybody not just Usopp. And for Usopp to throw away all of his friends and dreams just to clutch onto his childhood friend's gift is fucking stupid.
If Kaya meant so much to him, why did he leave the island in the first place?
Usopp fixed it because he had to so they wouldn't sink. Everybody loved the boat, but not everyone became a sudden retard, when they found out they were replacing it.

>>158786662
Looking at >>158786658
There are a few buildings that appear to be 5 or more storeys, they don't even come halfway up his feet, I think Oda has to have fucked up the scale or something there, what do you think?

enel is the strongest char.

>>158786401
What even were the Yeti Cool bros? I assumed they must have used sleeping gas or small pellets to instantly knock unconscious, because what would knock out without damaging?
And also, using "the look in someone's eyes" as a justification for strength isn't really relevant, check the manga for the panel with her eyes first too

Regarding Sanji and Purin

Now, the latest chapter (869) had this moment, with Purin reacting to Sanji catching Nami and indeed it seems Oda has some type of intention behind it. What exactly the meaning of it is is hard to tell, but the most common thoughts seem to be that Purin is either jealous or envious. And sure it’s possible she now has some type of crush on Sanji, and Oda might use that in the story, but only time will tell. Either way, what I really want to talk about is not Sanji and Purin as a ship, but as a real possibility within the story.

I don’t want to bash anyone, and of course those that ship Purin and Sanji are free to do so. But as a Sanji fan I really don’t want Oda to develop some type of real romance there (nor do I think he will). I will in this post discuss my own opinion on why I think that Sanji x Purin actually happening is a bad thing.
If you’re sensitive about Purin x Sanji don’t read.
First of all, she doesn’t deserve Sanji. Simply put Sanji is just too good for someone like Purin. Sanji has even more clearly in this arc been pointed out as one of the kindest characters in One Piece, and to begin with just by being one of the main characters Sanji deserves real happiness. Putting him together with Purin, who has tried to kill him and his loved ones, and who is basically crazy wouldn’t be a happy ending for Sanji. She can get redemption, but that doesn’t excuse what she did and it doesn’t really make for a good relationship.

>>158786349
But that's the easiest way to bait!

>>158786745
Yeah but I'll give you the larger estimate. Lets say he's about 1000 feet deep, since thats the part that Zoro cuts. Pretty good I'd say. But for me the thing is this. Could zoro punch through 200-300 feet of Pica, because that's how deep the bedrock is imo. Because punching through something is more a test of raw power than cutting it as cutting somethings is more about skill(Zoro learns to cut iron).

>>158786745
Yeah. It happened 2 chapters ago when LinLin was at the table as well. Scaling between 2-3 panels not consistent.

File: T2.jpg (116KB, 690x318px) Image search: [Google]

116KB, 690x318px

>>158786867
Secondly, there isn’t enough time for a real romance to develop. I see people saying that Purin x Sanji could be the new Usopp x Kaya, but remember that Usopp and Kaya knew each other for years and had a bond develop over a long time even before the climax we got to read. If Sanji and Purin developed feelings for each other that are supposed to compare to true love it would definitely need more time than a few days within the universe.
To begin with Sanji had to force himself to smile at the prospect of marrying Purin, and that was when he still thought she was nice. He might find her attractive, but there is no way that Sanji was ever actually in love with her. There simply is no way for them to be in love enough by the end of this arc to want to stay together forever or wait for each other. And before anyone compares her to Hancock, remember that Luffy and Hancock spent much more time together even though it might have started off as a very shallow and one-sided relationship.
Basically there is no stable foundation for this ship right now and it would be shallow from both ends if they ended up together. Also, for Sanji who already has a reputation within the fandom to be a “playboy” (I don’t agree, but still) he would just come off as even more shallow if he ended up with Purin, basically only because she looks good. Her personality isn’t exactly appealing at this point in time. Compared to Viola who hurts Sanji but acted evil against her will, Purin did those things at least partly of her own free will even if she might have been lying to herself. It simply wouldn’t be a healthy relationship.

>>158786901
As for Purin I take her character as someone who is very damaged, but Oda has also shown a few scenes that indicates that she might long for freedom and possibly even the chance of finding true love, just like her sister Lola. If she ends up with Sanji despite everything she would still end up with someone she didn’t choose for herself. Ending up with Sanji just because he is the first person to call her third eye beautiful would also be a very shallow reason from Purin’s side. Personally I’d see it as a better choice to show her getting a chance to finally be free and live her own life as opposed to getting turned into being a woman that’s supposed to wait for Sanji’s return.
At the end of the day there isn’t enough time for things to change in order to make this couple work. It would make both characters look shallow and the story would feel forced and rushed. I know this might not come off as legit because of my other biased opinions, but I really don’t think writing these two as a canon couple would be a good idea.

Minks generate static electricity like everything with fur, right? That's the origin of their Electro attack, or so I figure.
So I've been wondering if they can rechannel electricity because of electric powers bullshit. If that would indeed be so, then any Mink with Haki would be able to down Enel.
It's a pretty big "if" though.

>>158786939
And this is if Oda even decides to redeem her to begin with of course. I’m not at all sure about what Oda plans to do yet, I only know that Purin definitely has a role to play still. That panel definitely means something, but if it’s good or bad is hard to tell. Personally I suppose having her turn and help the strawhats is more likely. Simply because they need all the help they can get to be able to get out of the current situation and of course there have been hints of Purin not being completely evil. But Oda could just as well have us all fooled and make Purin go crazy again. But if Oda decides to redeem Purin in some way that doesn’t mean that her ending up with Sanji will automatically be a good idea.
I want Sanji to be happy, and I don’t think being with Purin is the answer. I want him to find love, because I truly think that he wants and deserves it, but whatever develops between Sanji and Purin will most likely not be enough for it to feel like a good romance.
Also, please remember that this arc is not about Sanji getting a girl (this includes Nami too), it’s about him confronting his past and finally seeing his own worth. It’s about him and his bonds to Luffy and his nakama.
Of course this is all my own view and anyone who thinks differently are welcome to do so. I just don’t see how Oda could write Sanji x Purin in a way that makes sense both for the characters and the story without feeling forced and underdeveloped.

Thanks for reading. And sorry if I have offended anyone, that was not my intention.

End.

Zoom in as close as you can. Luffy was quite close to the ceiling no? That hole is maybe 5x bigger than Luffy maximum. It looks like it closes inward a bit, which would make sense if it broke from impact then crocodile was forced through, unless Luffy punched the stone more than crocodile all the way up.
Then compare the width of the hole, let's say 30 feet at the start, with the hole at the top, vanishing points have an interesting feature that the closer they are the faster they disappear. God knows how this is relevant, but I'm sure someone could try working out the actual size of the entry, exit and tunnel made.

>Inb4 plebbit spacing
To contrast, I'll post the picture of pica post-slice, he's been launched maybe a hundred feet higher into the air than the cut, this will require sheer force. Any vertical momentum must have been provided by a vertical force acting on the object. Unless pica somehow jumped his top half up while being cut.

1) One Piece isn't a romance focused story so if Oda decides to think of a shallow reason for them to get married it wouldn't affect the story negatively because the focus isn't there
2) Pudding and Sanji's story deeply mirror each other because both were the black sheep of their family and had problems with fitting in with the children around them
3) Oda has redeemed far worse characters and the purpose of the flashback and Pudding's memory of Lola is to show that she is not an evil character by default and had to be shaped that way.
4)Pudding was the only light during this time in Sanji's life and he legimitately fell in love with her which is why he decided to get married in the end. It was his decision and he WANTED it which is why he was so heartbroken that Pudding didn't return those feelings
5) That panel is shown so we as readers understand that Pudding has fallen for Sanji and now the question is whether Sanji still returns those feelings and knowing that he forgives a womans lies, I would say the answer is yes.

What always gets me about that image-- the momentum that was required to lift the stone torso that high into the air. The slice I can get. But the upwards velocity to displace it seemed like a bit much for a non DBZ manga.

Whatever though.

>>158787189
I understand what you're trying to get at but swordsman ship seems to work differently in OP than in real life. Otherwise Mihawk in terms of raw strength would strength wise be one of the strongest, if not the strongest character because him cutting the iceberg was unsurpassed. Also Haki does seem to make it easier to cut and pierce things(Kuja arrows) so his strength deficit could be compensated that way.

Its not a comparable feat looking back at it because punching through something is much more difficult than slicing it. And Zoro's flashback with his teacher seems to imply that something other than raw power is needed to "cut"

>>158787343
About 850 chapters, quite a fast read to be honest, I'd watch the series while playing vidya if I was you.
It's pretty gay to be fair though. Sanji and Zoro totally have a thing together

>open one piece thread
>shipping garbage once again
>close thread

kill yourselves degenerates

>>158787376
You're misunderstanding, also, Mihawk IS one of the strongest characters, probably top 10 after yonkou and admirals maybe

>>158787343
The anime goes to total shit quality-wise around episode 500. Reading 800 chapters doesnt that that long though.
You can do it in about 1 or 2 weeks, a couple hours a day.

Don't say it like that is what Oda was trying to say. He has mislead us a bunch if times now. I am sure you were one of those who thought Pudding was good and not sending them to a trap. You are extremely delusional

>>158787353
That's why it's simply a fact that Zoro is strong. Very very strong

>>158787428
We dont know how strong Mihawk is in terms of raw strength though, which is the topic of our discussion. Is Zoro stronger than base luffy in terms of raw strength? And knowing that cutting something requires more than just brute force shown by Zoro's flashback, I dont believe that him cutting Pica is an accurate guage of his raw output of power. As for the whole leverage and displacement thing, its a manga. Putting in too much real life physics is not appropritate imo.

Morbid curiosity, mostly, same reason I read Naruto religiously every week.
Mostly I can't wait to be in my sixties to finally confirm that One Piece was the friends we made along the way.

Between Water 7 and up until the end of Marineford, OP was the greatest manga. That's a run where you can't pick out a single bad chapter.

If you dislike Thriller Bark it's only because you watched the anime which SLAUGHTERED the pacing.

>>158783656
I never read water 7 I found it boring

Whole cake has been fun as fuck compared to that

>>158787644
If we discount physics there's no merit to any feat. To be honest strength in One Piece is mostly determined by willpower anyway

>>158786728
>is fucking stupid
Why is Usopp not allowed to act fucking stupid?

>If Kaya meant so much to him, why did he leave the island in the first place?
Because adventure meant more. This is a very typical thing in adventure stories and specifically in nip stuff.

>Everybody loved the boat, but not everyone became a sudden retard, when they found out they were replacing it.
Because for Usopp it was personal. It was even foreshadowed in Jaya and Skypiea, reread.

>>158787428
Mihawk is stronger than Shanks. The only way he'd be below admirals or yonkou is because he has no subordinates.

>>158787895
Also he hunts pirates. Like old Zoro. We've never seen him commit a villainous act thus far.

>>158787939
There's a difference between being a dick and villainous though, he's still kind of a dick

>>158787857
>If you dislike this part its only becuz you did it wrong!1!!!
Kill yourself. Thriller Bark was terrible. Tied for worst arc of the series along with FI.
Shitty villain, bad side characters, dragged on for way to long (even within the manga) shit setting, and introduced the worst SH ever.

>>158787979
Chicks dig that, I hear. Does a guy who dresses like Mihawk not look like he's carousing for poon?

>>158787895
Naw, he is (possibly) a stronger swordsman.
But in a "everything goes" pirate fight shanks should be stronger.

>>158787882
>If we discount physics there's no merit to any feat
Not really though. Simple things like lifting or pushing aside something counts as a strength feat imo, whereas slicing something is more of a refined skill in One Piece. And from the instances where Oda has shown us strength feats, Luffy has come in top. Though Oda should really just show us a lifting competition to shut the fanboys up. From my reading of OP, its clear that Luffy's main asset is his enormous strength(without which his rubber powers would be nothing) whereas for Zoro it is his skill with the sword.


>>158788024
Mihawk looks like a classic gay club bro imo.
>>158787895
We dont know that and I'm talking about RAW POWER, not skill or the ability to beat someone in a duel

Pica was such a disapointment.

>>158783656
Oda will never surpass Alabasta and Water 7 didn't.

>>158787892
>Why is Usopp not allowed to act fucking stupid?
Because after everything Usopp and the crew went through up to that point, he's willing just to throw it all away? Even his dreams, which was the main reason for setting out to sea in the first place? He's allowed to act stupid, but this was just forced drama by Oda and made Usopp act out of character.
>Because for Usopp it was personal. It was even foreshadowed in Jaya and Skypiea, reread
No. It was personal for everybody. Kaya gave that boat to Luffy and the SH at first. Not Usopp. He only joined once Luffy asked him to.
>Because adventure meant more. This is a very typical thing in adventure stories and specifically in nip stuff.
Yeah so why is Usopp so obsessed with the stupid ship in the first place? If Kaya meant more to Usopp than any crewmember, he wouldn't have left the island. But if he cared about adventure more, he wouldn't have a problem replacing the ship.

>>158788196
Only reason I didn't include that was because even that's debatable as Zoro had his moment during Thriller Bark, but Luffy showcased enormous mental and physical toughness through Impel Down/Marineford. So in my eyes they're almost equal at this point until another event comes up in OP that shows us otherwise.

>>158788082
There are two reasons Mihawk could have for not wanting to duel Shanks anymore:
1.) He respects his old rival too much to defeat him as a cripple
2.) He's afraid to lose to a one armed man
>>158788087
>I'm talking about RAW POWER, not skill or the ability to beat someone in a duel
Well I didn't see the quote I posted as worded like that so that's why I made that comment. I just want people to stop underestimating him, he's definitely one of the absolute strongest characters.

Is it generally agreed by people over here that the manga lost quality during the time skip? That's honestly around the time I stopped having the willpower to read through it.

Rewatching Water 7 for the first time in precisely 9 years.

What the flying fuck, I remember the pacing being bad. If anything the pacing's too quick, there's only one episode dedicated to the immensity of this city. The SHs live in a comfy-ass hotel room and we don't even get to see what it looks like.

>>158785517
This.

>>158788249
Usopp believed Luffy and the crew were ready to get rid of the boat whenever it became convenient. Yeah, deep down, he knew better than that, and deep down, he knew they were right, but that's not how human beings work. Sometimes emotions take over, and the pain of losing Merry Go made him act like that.

>>158788276
No. Most agree that it loses steam around Luffy's 2nd flashback with Original the Character Sabo, and doesn't regain it until either Punk hazard or Zou.

I do NOT get the hate for Punk Hazard, feels like an arc straight out of episode 220-something. Quick, dramatic, fun villains and extremely fun allies, this is One Piece to me.

>>158788220
And Zoro never starts looking determined, he always gets battered and then crushes his opponent with some asspull massive move. Except post TS where he's been nearly untouchable

>>158788249
>Even his dreams
He was planning to keep sailing by himself, or even go with the giants. End of the day he recapacitated, said sorry and came back. If you don't think this is normal human behaviour then you are dumb

>It was personal for everybody
Not what the manga shows. If you want your headcanon to be more relevant than facts, then write fanfiction instead of arguing about the real story.

>>158788261
Being hopped up on drugs counts for half of Impel and Marine at least

>>158783801
I genouinely lost interest.
The characters are all the same pretty much. The character specific laughters are so overdone at this point. So many situations in which you're supposed to be bawwing ruined by some faggots close up snot and tears face. So much boring backstory just when the action rolls along. Luffys crew is pretty much useless, they only fight the other henchmen who are just fodder. What OP posted was the only time one piece really impressed me.

There's 3 groups of people:
-the ones who think post-TS is bad and left the threads/dropped the manga altogether. Their opinion is not represented in the threads
-the ones who still follow the manga enough to post in the threads yet still agree post-TS is bad.
-the ones who think it's okay. These will try to make the others seem like a minority although it is a vast majority if we put groups 1 and 2 together, and rarely respond to arguments, mostly resorting to cheap catchphrases like "you grew up" or "nostalgia"

>>158788348
Agree. PH was great.

>>158788428
Yeah but thats still a feat. IMO Luffy surviving Magellans poison is equivalent to Zoro surviving Luffy+his own pain.

Only reason people seem to forget Luffy's endurance is cause his personality is not as intense and dedicated as Zoro's so it's easier to say Zoro has more willpower whereas nothing we've seen so far indicates that either trumps one another in that department.

>>158788348

A light hearted arc coming off the back of a light hearted arc was kind of annoying, since it felt like Oda reached a turning point with Marineford/Shabody by trying to present the characters as being fallible without actually having to kill them, the implication being that future arcs (post-Marineford) would be a lot more "intense" and serious but ever since then - and perhaps due to the popularity of the series, the manga has become defined by what it was perceived to be, rather than what it previously was.

Like, now everything is just a merry adventure and everything is super quirky and nothing dramatic every really happens to the main characters.

Like, the implication of Shabody is that going into the New World, the characters will face unrelenting adversity - yet every arc (and thus conflict) since has been a result of the choices the characters make (aside from Whole Cake, I guess) - i.e. Luffy willingly choosing to intervene in someone else's problems because "why the hell not?" rather than the characters finding themselves in trouble because of their earlier choice, because they willingly set foot into, what is supposed to be the most dangerous part of the ocean.

Fundamentally, my problem is that Oda seems to have discarded his entire build up. If it weren't for the fact that the characters choose to involve themselves in drama, it feels like they could just cakewalk the new world, because no-one is actively trying to stop them.

And even then, so as to avoid having to kill or maim main characters (in what should be treacherous circumstances), each arc, we're given an increasing number of side characters who basically exist as proxies for everything that the MCs should be taking on themselves, from drama, to conflict and death.

>>158783656
Haki loses effectiveness or duration the wider the area it is used on right? So when are we going to get the logical conclusion of a character using haki purely on the very edge of their swords to get thst diamond solid slice while also fighting for ages and ages?

Denying the political aspects to OP is kinda stupid. It's in the background not really discussed in the series, but it gives a nice platform for the older readers to look into the OP world and our own.

There is politics involved but both leftists and rightists seem to think they own the ideology of one piece so discussing it through that lens is not appropriate imo and is opening a huge can of worms.

>>158790149
Not true, Zoro is stronger than Luffy.

>>158789753
I disagree with this entire post. We've always had light hearted arcs and in early OP they were back to back. Oda did reach a turning point with Marineford/Sabaody, which was that Luffy and the gang just weren't ready for the NW. Jinbe said this after Marineford. Paraphrasing here but something along the lines of "you've waltz through because you thought you could handly anything with you strength and determination but you've been through a tornado of powerful people trying to stop you." This was meant that the main characters needed to get stronger, so that they could enjoy the freedom in the new world. I never took it as it's going to get more serious. The core of OP has always been about adventuring and accomplishing their dreams. Luffy and the SH's needed power that would let them do the in the NW.
Sure the main characters are in problems because they actively chose to be in them, but that's interesting because that hasn't really happened before. Previously they would get interrupted on their adventures, but now Luffy is close to his goal and by fighting to take down the Yonko, he is actively pursuing it.
You say no one is actively trying to stop them, but FI was just that. Maybe they could cakewalk the new world, but Luffy wants to take down the Yonko and that is the way to become PK.
>we're given an increasing number of side characters who basically exist as proxies for everything that the MCs should be taking on themselves, from drama, to conflict and death.
This has always been the case. Vivi for example.

>>158783656
Arlong Park was much better than Marineford. Marineford was actually really dull. Just a bunch of fights. Whitebeard was pretty cool though.

Also, while I have a bunch of problems with Dressrosa, everything since the chapter Doflamingo was defeated in has been better and better. Whole Cake is a pretty great arc. Zou was also good, a nice change of pace with some great world building, and one of the top 5 best moments in One Piece ("Raizou-dono is safe.")

Not really Luffy thought the threat was over so he let go of his will of stay awake. Doesn't really prove that his endurance was lower.

Not even the anon you replied to, but Caesar deserved a little relaxation from his tough life, and gigantification is impossible to accomplish in humans even if the entire race worked towards it for 100 years. You have to admit what Caesar did do is impressive and none of those children died. It's a non issue at this point, and not really such a big deal.

>>158790453
It's not a question about Sogeking. It's just the first One Piece picture I could grab from my computer.

I want to be able to get to Oda and ask him directly about an issue that hasn't been addressed in the story.

Why do all the other Supernovae have such lame crews?

I know why, because their crews are not the focus, but still. Bege's most notable crew members are a guy with big hands and a big tongue, and a literal giant retard.
Law's crew are a bunch of clones and a bear.
Blackbeard is the only member of the worst generation with a diverse and interesting crew, and that is probably because they are all set-up for future fights with the strawhats.

I hope that aspect will be a bit better in future arcs, but then again Oda already has problems balancing the huge cast of characters, so I guess I am all in all fine with the way it is now.

>>158790588
Bored, waiting for hxh spoilers since no OP this week

>>158790599
You're an autist, do you really matter?

>>158790818
It probably is because most Non Strawhats Supernovas crews usually just follow the theme of the Captain himself excluding Blackbeard.
Urouges crew theme is Monk + Angels
Laws is submariners
and etc.

>>158791028
Right, I forgot about Ma D. Monk's crew. Also, Kidd's crew might be interesting just for the fact that Killer exists, and he is pretty different from his captain.
Bonney's crew was also seen already, but it's safe to assume they are all dead now.

I wonder if Apu will have a fun musician crew, but he is serving under Kaidou now, so it probably won't matter - unless his entire crew is under Kaidou.

>>158791126
>unless his entire crew is under Kaidou.
Kaidou probably doesnt even know theyre still on his boots

>>158791175

Caesar and Jinbe are the last main crewmembers, there isn't enough room for Carrot. She can just be an ally.

>>158789753
I would say that the point of the timeskip(on top upgrading the crew) was to present a block in the road for the crew to continue with their light-hearted adventures. Oda excused the timeskip as an event necessary for the crew to avoid the hardships of a premature venture into the New World. I don't believe a serious, darker One Piece was ever intended.

looks absolutely nothing like what is on Carrot's kimono they are tangerines because she is very close to Nami now. That's why Nami will make sure she gets on the crew. She wants to stay an Nami and Chopper won't let her go back to Zou. She is a Strawhat now.

When will they stop repeating this pattern?

after wci will luffy meet up with neko+marco and the wano high council?

>>158795508
Hmmm. Back in the days I would wait for arcs to finish before reading, I did Thriller Bark in bulk over the course of a week. At the end of it, I just felt "stuffed". Like food consumption stuffed. Felt like I was sick of seeing that setting. Couldn't imagine what weekly readers felt going through a year of Eternal Halloween.

If Zoro would have joined after Brook everyone would have hated him

>>158794575

Alabasta and Namek are probably the 2 best shonen arc ever, and both are similar.

Spee D. Reader here. Punk Hazard was kind of boring and Dressrosa gets unnecessarily shonen near the Doffy fight but otherwise it was a solid arc almost on par with Alabasta.

Makes one wonder how ugly those silly designed characters really are.

>>158797581

But that's not the case. Learn to read. Your headcanon is not canon.
Sanji gets rejected by the way he acts not the way he looks. That's pretty obvious

All Dressarosa had to do was trim just bit of the Colosseum, after the bird cage and the 10 minute gear 4 cool down and it would've been a fantastic arc instead of a just pretty good one. The think is tho, now that it's all out I can skip whatever the fuck I want
