These are all amazing. Especially Croc/Doffy, samurai Vivi, and 3 sword Nami. And I love that Luffy’s fishman drawing is part of the crew. Oda is so good.


^^^^^ oh right Kanjuro’s fruit makes sense for that one! ^^^^^

Edit wait what the hell, the fishman is Nami??

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

What if Crocodile had teamed up with Doflamingo in Marineford instead of telling him to gently caress off.

quote:

Oda: "Picture books" and "illustrated stories" do exist in One Piece. Picture books are just picture books, but think of illustrated stories as the manga in the world of One Piece. Since there is no concept of speech bubbles, the story is told through text and dialoque within a frame, similar to manga. Some famous titles in the One Piece world include: "Sora, Warrior of the Sea", "Fire Dog", "Pokeemon", "Monkey Ball", and "Marco-san".

The idea of a world not having the concept of speech bubbles is kinda throwing for a loop.

That would mean spending more time in Wano and no one (not even Oda) wanted that.

The Tama reveal probably should have been more in the text, but I like his answer a lot. A bleak, but realistic, note that if people did find that out even tho she's a good person and such it would be a big deal. Also putting to rest all that 'Kurozomi were born to burn' stuff.

Same with the SMILE stuff. Hats off to any author that actually let's there be consequences that can't be fixed in their stories. Still, wonder if he will down the road.

Yeah, those are both great storytelling choices.

I don't think much more time needed to be spent on it, but it would have been nice if the grave was more obvious to the reader, or there was a panel zooming in on it or something. It's a great detail that helps bring the themes of Wano together.

Well, since this exchange prompted me to look at them like an idiot, I gotta say, just to vent, not because anyone here need to be told this:

It's a picture from a "what if" series of dramatically different scenarios. It is almost the opposite of Oda saying Yamato is a woman. And in any case a man is in fact allowed to dress up like an Oiran if they want to.

So if the tree is implying that Zoro is a descendant of Ryuma, that means he has a legitimate claim to Shusui and the people of Wano just took it from him lol

We're going back for it for 4 more years of Wano


Also I think it's fine Chopper didn't fix the SMILE victims, because I think any cure would have to dig into the more fundamental secrets of what Devil Fruits actually are and how they work that we can't be privy to yet. Maybe when we come back for Shusui, Yamato, Pluton, and the charred corpses of Big Mom and Kaido during the four year Wano part 2, we will know enough about Devil Fruits for Chopper to be able to fix them.

honestly this is fine. zoro's just a dude whose family has some great swordsmen in it, but he's still just some kid. he is one of many descendants of ryuma, but it feels like it doesn't define him much. definitely not like some chosen-one bs, but a dude that definitely makes sense as a natural swordsman that has to put in a lot of work.

this probably also means tashigi is from a split-off ancestor and she and kuina probably have the same grandma or great uncle or something
