The shot timescale over which the stoey happens is justified by how the world is shown to progress regardless of where the strawhats are and what theyre doing. so you 'know' if they do take too long the world will catch up and pass them by. And we havent had an island that did expect the strawhats because they usually move so much faster then even news about them can go, hell they probably were at Zou before  had a chance to report the whole cake stuff.As for ship speeds just say the new world currents are super fast and OP ships are speedboat slick.

I mean the only ones even shown to be able to damage him so far are Oden and the Red Scabbards. Everyone else just can't hurt the dude. Very likely the end of Act 3 , which is supposed to be when a dramatic or tragic event happens, ends with the Red Scabbards being beaten and it all falling onto Luffy/ whoever else teams up on Kaido to beat him.

I’m not apologizing  Nami has good moments but she’s annoying when she does the dumb cliche “girl beats this poo poo out of guy(s) for doing something dumb. Although in retrospect that doesn’t happen a shitton, so I guess she’s just the worst strawhat (which tbh is still just the poorest billionaire relative to most shonen, especially female characters).EmmyOk posted:that was sick af but he's still felt far from "always bet on kaido" or the strongest creature yet. The full quote is “in a one-on-one fight, always bet on Kaido” though. It’s a whole bunch of dudes whaling on him fueled by their sheer hatred of him and loyalty towards the guy he killed, and more importantly, we haven’t even seen him use (visible) armamant haki yet, so we’re probably gonna get the cliche “heh, this has gone on long enough” before going full ham. ...wonder if you can breathe armamanted fire?

Alabasta is probably the island they spent the longest actual in universe time on pre-time skip, seeing as they not only spend several days travelling they also rest for a few days after their victory.

Bleck posted:the time between Luffy setting out to sea and the beginning of the timeskip is about just shy of four months according to these folks These people follow the "it was only 2 days from the moment Luffy landed on Sabaody until the end of Punk Hazard" theory which I've always felt was incredibly flimsy as it assumes any travel time/cutaways are basically instantaneous, and that the Hats basically arrive at places then leave a handful of hours later (when I thought the entire conceit of Log Poses was that they take a few days at minimum to sync up?) Not saying it wasn't still just a handful of days and a shitload of stuff to happen in such a short amount of time, but it could easily be 4 days to a week just based on some scene cuts during downtime/travelling and still make just as much sense. Like in my mind when they start sailing and we cut away to some other scene then cut back, several hours to a day could have passed, while this theory assumes it was just a few minutes or an hour at most.

So I originally came to this thread as an anime-watcher, and was encouraged to go back and do the manga read. I've been going through it starting from the beginning with the Shonen Jump subscription. Everything up until the flashback introducing Sabo was really really good! For some reason, though, as soon as I hit the flashback with Grey Terminal, it was like hitting a wall. I couldn't bring myself to care about Sabo at all. And because it was a flashback, I knew that both Luffy and Ace basically had plot armor. There was no real danger, it was just a coin flip on whether Sabo would live or die, and even that was ambiguous! I'm up to 628 now, and the extended Otohime flashback isn't doing itself any favors. I want to see more antics with the Straw Hat crew, and after so much flashback with Sabo, another multi-chapter flashback just feels so frustrating!

Guy A. Person posted:I thought the entire conceit of Log Poses was that they take a few days at minimum to sync up? It's very variable. Cactus Island (where Whiskey Peak is) takes a few hours, but I think Little Garden's the longest we know of and that takes a whole year. I think most were absolutely a few days, though, yeah and Water 7's a week.

And the WG doesn't try to cover up things like Devil Fruit powers; they broadcast the Whitebeard War on video (albeit not globally, and the technology used to broadcast it was probably fairly new).

There's a good story reason for the scabbards to get some hits in, but so far they've stuck him slightly in an existing wound and nicked his mouth a little. They haven't actually achieved much yet, and even if he can't hit them with fire, he can probably bodyslam them like he's swatting a fly. Kaido tanked multiple hard hits from Luffy without blinking, he's got plenty left in him yet.

the longer a time frame an adventure goes on for without reasonable offscreened downtime the more you have to figure out how and when the protagonists are eating/drinking/sleeping/pooping

Also didn't they suppress information about the existence of Roger's son?

Devil fruits are real but they're manufactured on a secret island by a scientist whose actions are funded and enabled by agents of the government. These sick bastards experiment on children! The mainstream Morgans media wants you to believe that devil fruits grow on trees, but my reliable sources tell me that Morgans himself is a devil fruit user! Protect yourself and your loved ones by purchasing my genuine seastone supplements, guaranteed to keep the satanic deep state devil fruit users away from your children. Only 65,000 berries.
