Funky Valentine posted:It would be weird for Luffy to be Dragon's son but for Dragon not to be Garp's son seeing as Luffy is the spitting image of young Garp if he was less ripped (Garp and Dragon do have a very passing resemblance though, mostly in the brow.) There's a theory that Dragon isn't actually Garp's son but his son-in-law and just took his wife's family name. The main hints are that Garp himself has never referred to Dragon as his son, only describing Luffy as "The Son of my Kid" in a way that kinda deliberately makes it unclear which parent he's talking about. Other people have said it but it's always in a "Wait if Luffy is Garp's grandson and Dragon's son then that must mean...." kinda way. Also there's that time Luffy saw a picture of Dragon for the first time and his first reaction was to point out how they don't look anything alike.

Caidin posted:Every time I reread Impel Down I have to pause for a minute to wonder where that guy loving came from. How did he even know Ivankov was there, or that level 5.5 existed? Was this a long term revenge scheme or just a one in a million opportunity for revenge? Was he already a prisoner or just the one fucker breaking into the place who actually managed a low profile? I mean the guy who created level 5.5 is also a high ranking Revolutionary who Ivankov presumably knows

It feels like we're gonna need a flashback to this Rocky Port Incident considering every time we hear about it, it gets more important. At first we only knew it as something that happened that made Koby famous as a marine. Later we find out Law was involved in some way. Now we find out that Blackbeard was also involved and it somehow led to him taking control of that pirate party island with the big skull mountain that's his home base now. Also, incidentally, Blackbeard mentions it helped him dethrone someone named 'Ochoku" who apparently was a member of the Rocks Pirates???

Terper posted:Yeah but they also ~visit places from their memories~, you can tell by the trailer that it's not them being there the first time, they remember everything It's been a staple for every One Piece game for the past like, 20 years that the story has to involve a person or a monster or magic relic or some combination of the three that makes memories real so they can justify having all the characters in one place and at this point it's kind of amusing that they can never come up with anything else besides that.

The paneling in this chapter was really interesting, feels like Oda's trying to condense more action into each page. Probably the smart thing to do if he wants to get to the ending reasonably soon.

I mean the Government having an issue with Kobra was set up for a while before. We learned that his ancestors were the only royal family that didn't want to become Celestial Dragons that the Dragons still hold a grudge against them to this day about, we saw Im looking at a picture of Vivi, and Kobra went to their headquarters openly declaring he was gonna ask them about the ancient weapons/ponyglyphs. It seems pretty obvious that they'd want him gone and the fact that the Revolutionaries happened to attack while he was there kinda kills two birds in one stone. Get rid of a guy they already hate and whose asking too many questions while framing the Revolutionaries for murdering one of the few Good Kings.

Lpzie posted:This might be the first time we see Haki doing this? I've always imagined, from what we've been told, it could prevent an effect but didn't consider it could be used to shake off an effect. Just never crossed my mind. This is probably where a lot of us in this thread are coming from. Has a lot of implications now that we know it works like this though, especially with the darkness fruit. I wanna say the first hint of this was when Doflamingo declared that Law's powers wouldn't work on Vergo because his Haki was too strong, and then it did cause they presumably just massively underestimated how strong Law was. It was first shown, I believe, at Wano when Law wasn't able to teleport Kaido or Big Mom around or slice them up like he could to random mooks. Semi-related but I feel like a lot of people look at Haki like it's some Unbeatable Magic Power and act like it's a plot hole when one character is able to beat another character, like people who keep declaring it's a plot hole that Shanks lost his arm to some random sea monster in East Blue. I think the whole point of Haki is that it's a part of a person's mind/body and thus is subject to things like Exhaustion, Surprise, etc. Several of Luffy's big fights have had moments where his Haki fails him cause he's too wounded/exhausted to keep it up. Whitebeard probably had some pretty Godlike Haki but by the time he died he was an old man in bad health who'd already been stabbed numerous times, had his torso filled with magma and half his face burned off, so given that it's probably not surprising that Blackbeard's crew were able to finish him off by just shooting him a bunch.

Delphisage posted:Why did this guy not get fired? I get that comics companies are understaffed, but COME ON. If I remember the story correctly there was once a Marvel editor who got around a company policy about staff members not being allowed to also write comics for them by inventing a fictional Japanese person with the most stereotypical 90's Japanese Name you'd expect a middle age white man at the time to come up with (it was something like Akira Kowasaki or some poo poo) and ghostwriting under that name for years. When he was caught doing this he was punished by...being promoted to Editor in Chief. Which he still is to this day.

Violen posted:bellamy was cool because of his maturation and growth and i love his line about not laughing at luffy anymore. he deserved better than doflamingo and i hope hes found inner peace and fulfillment learning crafts from a stern old biddy until he comes back to bounce poo poo apart in the final arc. This is why I get so annoyed at people who endlessly complain about the fact that Luffy never kills the bad guys. It's more interesting to me seeing how characters evolve after losing to Luffy than just having a massive bodycount for the sake of a bodycount.

To be fair Dragon also never bothered telling anyone he had a son even after that son had become a world-famous pirate who'd gone to war with the world government. He's kind of an aloof rear end in a top hat who keeps secrets from everyone, including people who are close to him.

Ah, I was talking about physically touching Enel not whether or not he can dodge them. Also part of me wants to see an AU of One Piece where Haki isn't a thing so Luffy kept having to find things that let him punch logia fruit users. Like Luffy punching Kizaru with a mirror strapped to his fist or something.

Like, it doesn't matter, Luffy would make up a position for them if they were a good friend, what matters is bringing your nakama along on this adventure. Luffy offered a spot on his crew to the guy stuck in a treasure chest who didn't have anything to offer the crew whatsoever, and offered Brook the position the instant they met and before he was revealed as a musician entirely cause Luffy saw "cool skeleton" and that was all he needed to know.
