F. Lobot posted:Why did the government name Chopper "Cotton Candy Lover"? The only time he had ever eaten Cotton Candy was in the audience of the Davy Back Fight, while he wasn't even a member of the Strawhat's crew. Aokiji was the only marine on that island that could have seen it. He does seem like the kind of guy that would shrug off his job to watch the Pirate Games, but why would he notice Chopper is one of the hundreds in the crowd eating stadium food? The photographer is very good at getting his pictures and highlighting pirate's key traits without ever being seen in the midst of battle, with the exception of Sanji.

They got a picture of a weird creature eating cotton candy with the Straw Hats and thought he was their pet who loves cotton candy. Like the entire story is told in the single panel with the reward poster.

This is anime misinformation at work. Looking back Luffy recruited Chopper after round 2, so the photographee would identify him as a Strawhat. According to the anime Chopper should be wearing the Foxy mask in the poster but hey what can you do? I also thought the photographer was a part of the actual Marines rather than a freelancer like Absolom. There's a scene where he's yelled at by his supervisor for losing Sanji's photo. Why would he be on [Long Ring] Long Island?

Perhaps, and I admit this is a crazy notion, he ate cotton candy off panel at Water 7. They did have a bit of down time and that is when everyone else got their pictures taken/updated. After all, Chopper does in fact love cotton candy after all.

Chopper eats cotton candy all the time. Even as recently as the Law sandwich gag before Dressrosa, Chopper ordered a cotton candy sandwich. You guys are overthinking this, his bounty photo even shows him eating it.

It's also because "Cotton Candy Lover" is not a very threatening epithet and that's funny.

You guys are overthinking this, his bounty photo even shows him eating it. A lot of those instances are post-Bounty, so it makes sense that Oda would throw in Cotton Candy-loving gags now that he has the nickname. I think at the time that the bounty + name first appeared, however, there'd been very few instances of cotton candy eating. I wondered about it too, way back then, but I just filed it away as a funny joke/poster.

Can you even get a bounty without also getting some sort of nickname in One Piece? I do still kind of chuckle that Kidd only got "Captain". What a boring nickname for a Captain.

I wonder how everyone knows what people's nicknames are just based on the poster? Presumably it's kept in that little unreadable squiggle in the bottom left corner. Or do you need to cross-reference with the newspaper?

"I wanna fight! I'm not afraid of dying!" "Then there's no place for you in my army. Every man here is afraid of dying." Powerful scene. Alabasta's a good arc. I also like how Oda turned the convenient windfall of the crew meeting Mr. 2 into a disadvantage since now Crocodile knows about them and that they're coming; likely many of their abilities as well since Mr. 3 probably filled him in on the battle. It's a neat little reversal of fortune revealing previously-thought "Lazy" writing to actually turn out to be "Good" writing. I'm about at the bit where all the fighting starts, I think. Last time I read through this arc, over five years ago, the fights themselves were the low point. Hopefully I feel differently about them now.

Prison Warden posted:I don't think Moria has one? Neither does Crocodile. Kind of funny how "Sir" is apparently his first name because none of the other Warlords are ever addressed with a title. Wouldn't be surprised if that somehow tied into his origin story, like if he was a knight or a nobleman before becoming a pirate.

I dunno, like I said when I started this reread, it's been long enough since I read it last that my complaints are just vague generalities. In refreshing my memory, I'm found that I enjoy this series far more now than I did then, so it's possible that extends to the fights as well.

He was probably called Sir Crocodile because the people of Alabasta respected him a lot and saw him as a savior. No one really refers to him that way anymore after Alabasta is over, he's just Crocodile from that point on.

How do you even remember that guy? I was wrong. Junior is great and so is his momma. Law seeing Ussop as badass enough to go by "god" is hilarious. Elephant land looks amazing and kinda like something out of Toriko.

He looked familiar, and I was sure I'd seen him in Marineford many years ago, so I looked through the wiki to refresh my memory and there he was. Didn't recognize the name, but Oda's really good with distinct faces. Granted, I initially thought he might've been Lip Service Doughty from the 2-Year Reunion arc. I have a good memory when it comes to useless manga facts.

Holy poo poo. That really is the coolest thing since Skypia. God drat, what an adventure! But truly the strangest thing this chapter... Whitebeard's surname is Edward? Like, I know everyone else has a Japanese name order with the surname first given name last... but I guess I never realized that Edward Newgate... was from the Edward family with a given name of Newgate. Weird. I mean, we all know Whitebeard Jr. is full of poo poo, but still. Ussop is, as always, the best. But Franky's throbbing rage at Ussop having such a high bounty was hilarious. I can't wait to see Sanji's reaction, as we all know he's into bounties too.
