One Piece is great but now that it's in it's long final stretch it's time for the series to completely fall apart like all the other long term Shonen I take in.

We are going to finish this series without ever learning Dragon's deal, money on table.


We're also going to end with Buggy being publicly acknowledged as the Pirate King, as is correct


Buggy will not be pirate king because he's going to wind up being King of the World.

they “fought” already at marie jois. iirc buggy’s power protected him from mihawk’s swing but not the follow-up blast of wind

It went like Mihawk tries to cut him, fails. Buggy chucks a buggy bomb at him which Mihawk casually bunts back at him with the flat of his sword. Buggy explodes.

Crocodile is vulnerable to water because it makes him clumpy and mushy but his left hand also dries up all water instantly.

its funny that don krieg and kuro are literally the only main villains in the entire series to never become relevant again in any way. i guess hody is also down and out but hes also sent offscreen with the implication that hell die soon.

Arlong is entirely in flashbacks, right?

I guess if he wasn't in Impel Down he's probably been enslaved on Mary Geoise somewhere.

Thinking about if Mihawk still sails around in his tiny coffin boat that he somehow sails from one end of the world to the other. Getting deep into (presumably) Shanks new world territory after leaving the Baratie to show him Luffy's first bounty poster while the Strawhats were still in loving Coco Village.

Maybe it actually has a really sophisticated motor that does all the work while he poses broodily for weeks on end as he travels.

I mean, if we're talking Ivankov. Do recall one of Ivankov's attacks is a forced gender change (admittedly one that makes the victims happy). I don't wholly buy Ivankov would not threaten someone with such a secret.

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?

Vegapunk is out there putting out Lunarian warlord clone child soldier cyborgs, the only way he could chump on Judge and Caesar's mad science crimes harder is if a giant one popped out later.

Seraphim Buggy is never sent to the frontlines because Vegapunk is tearing his hair out trying to figure out what went wrong to have him so weak.

Oda once said that if Buggy actually applied himself he could be a high level player in the new world, Seraphim Buggy is gonna go out there and actually be the strongest showing of all of them while 99.9% of the world nods it's head in awe.

I just want Tashigi to kick Zolo's poo poo in, proper. I don't care if Vegapunk has to give her a Raiden-esque full cyborg conversion. Just make it happen.

Oct 29, 2011
I'm guessing they've decided to off Vegapunk because his (her?/they?) poo poo is getting TOO good. They don't need somebody who can make stuff that could combat or counteract Uranus or whatever did the sky lasers, they trying to build and maintain a status quo. If they have the tools they feel they need for that already then it's time to bump'em off before they build Kronos in a fit of creative whimsy or something.

I'm waiting to hear the exact explanation behind the Seraphim, beyond whatever other modifications they've had, being based on the original warlords.

Oda seems to be about to establish that Kuma is in fact genetically different so maybe they all were. That's the secret Ivankov has on Crocodile, even.

Guns already suck in OP without taking a minute to reload.

It is completely wild to me that Izou showed up and their entire thing was just rocking flintlocks. Killed a CP0 agent with one, while already beat to poo poo themselves. Has a sword sometimes but no thanks, I do guns. Just plain drat weird.

Probably a side effect when he comes out of it. Lucci actually seems in somewhat better shape as he already recovered, probably only got knocked out for a second or two.

He is a Awakened Zoan, presumably he's at least as quick to get back up as the beast guards from impel Down.

I don't understand the sequence of events. Why didn't the Seraphims go with them? How can Lucci recover so fast? Where were Kaku and Stussy in the meantime?

Lucci is an awakened zoan, who were touted back in impel Down to have extreme stamina and recovery. Assuming he has the same resilience as the Mino guards he'd probably be tough as gently caress to keep down without, say, punching him into an undersea volcano or something.

Blackbeard seems like a pretty cool guy to party with.

Eiba posted:

Garp is not going to get chumped, but that's because Blackbeard doesn't chump anyone. He gets hosed up and flails around before ultimately sinking the dagger into the perfect place and getting his victory.

Leaps before he looks, never comes off looking great in the first clash and usually needs his crew to save his rear end just like his light mirror. Looking forward to Blackbeard so much :allears:

One wonders exactly at the difficulties of the formation of what may as well of been a science pirate crew was back in the day, that shot of the MADS armed and ready to rock, all known members are amoral if not psychotic and while Vegapunk qualities as a combatant are unknown, Ceaser and Queen are in the top percentage of the worlds most dangerous people. Judge probably is too, I dunno. I can only think of the fight with Sanji that the latter didn't think was worth it so it's hard to say.

Right; how many characters have we seen being born so that we can knock them off the list of clones? I can think of Ace off the top of my head. We also have Oden's kids as babies, so they're fine.

Well, Vegapunk is a little rough on the math but I'd say their only about 6/7 clone at most.

Love me dem early scans.

It's kinda hard to figure Morgans angle harboring fugitives of the WG, but I guess he's already on the poo poo list since he punched out that one CP guy and printed whatever story he wanted. I'm given to wonder about his apparent untouchability, I guess even the World Government would have trouble finding airships and sky islands. It seems like the implication is the secret saboteur is a robot?

I feel like Lucci is probably going to try and kill the elder star guy before the arc is over in order to control the seraphim, whether thats due to disagreements in how to use them or because they get aimed at him

Whether that ends up with him as an ally or just own his own team is up in the air

It's been over 20 years since the Elder Stars were introduced and now, finally, one is potentially going to be in punching distance of Luffy. loving wild.

Do they have moves? I mean they all have scars and poo poo despite being World Nobles, who the hell they all brawl with? Maybe being one of the 5ES has some combat qualifications, or does this tie into how they haven't aged since the O'hara Flashback and they're actually a bunch of Highlander assholes?

Getting hyped here.

I am increasingly unable to discern the traitor punk's intentions, if that's even where this is still going. I'm not dismissing this all going completely sideways and the secret villain isn't the brokedown giant robots A.I or something hijacking Egghead on the sly. Also, frankly? The deck is so turbo stacked on Kid here that it'd be lame if he just lost, like it's not going build Shanks up a bit if he stomps one boat full of rowdies with his entire powerbase and also he giant buddies. Waiting for that twist.
