For Buggy's Pacifista to be the ultimate weapon.

That would be funny. Watch as it uses his powers in a much stronger light.

I would imagine that they are mostly organic and have been growing up in secret up until now.

I feel like Franky should have had more to do with the Pluton reveal since that was his whole "thing" in Water 7. Having it boil down to one reaction shot after the fact feels weirdly understated for how much of an influence the potential thread of Pluton had on his life.

That's a fair point. Franky really should have had more involvement in that. Hopefully in the upcoming arcs he'll get to do something. Maybe at least he'll get to interact with Vegapunk?

Franky beat one of the Flying Six, at least. But yeah, I don't think Franky really had any character moments in Wano (and neither did Usopp or Brook). Which shouldn't be surprising, given how many characters were around.

Franky beat a placeholder Tobi Roppo with nothing notable about him, when he should've been the one fighting Queen instead of Sanji.

Franky and Chopper could’ve teamed up and beaten Queen together as a medical mechanical team or Jack could’ve come back and not instantly lose again to give Franky and Brook something to do

Runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
King and Queen were the designated "second-and-third in command epic superhuman and weird guy that Zoro and Sanji respectively end up fighting" that almost every arc since Arlong Park has been obligated to have. It was never, ever, going to go down any other way.

These lunarian pacifistas seem to lend some credence to the idea that Vegapunk really was trying to get Kaido's oni-ness when he accidentally made the dragon devil fruit.

Blackbeard specifically is horny and implied in this chapter that Haki can’t block her power. He just grabbed her and turned off her power with the Dark Dark Fruit before she had the chance to use it on him.

I love that even that explanation has no actual explanation as to why nakama itself is a special word in the setting of One Piece and provides several alternatives any reasonable localizer would use.

It's illegal to translate a single word slightly differently depending on context, you have to have every word be 1:1 all the time

SyntheticPolygon
Dec 20, 2013

Nakama is an important word to One Piece because maybe you want to translate it as "crew" or something at certain points in relation to the Straw Hat Pirates but then if you do that when you translate it as "friend" in other situations where saying crew wouldn't make sense you lost a bit of the paralells being drawn through use of the same term.

This is a sort of complication that is obviously not unique to One Piece in any way but will come up commonly in translation. Of course leaving the word as is, is a poor solution at any rate.

Coby is a true bro and would never even think lustfully about Luffy's wife. That's why he's immune to Hancock.

Blackbeard really must be way more physically powerful than we've witnessed if he could grab Hancock before she could react. I mean, she's fast.
