What did it overcome to gain the title? And when? I'm guessing it was another long running manga, but I'd have no idea what off the top of my head.

How could you be annoyed with the arc that introduces Dog Auron??

Also is Duke Dogstorm going to be the person to finally get a peg leg? Who's it going to be? Oda said that only the most legit badasses are going to get the peg leg and eyepatch, can he live up to the hype?

I think it was just the eyepatch he mentioned.

sometimes it's best to just sit back and enjoy the wild and crazy tertiary characters! heck that's half the fun of one piece.

Arslan Senki might have it beat since it's also ongoing too, albeit as a novelization.

I'm not sure whether or not I want this. I really enjoy One Piece-anything, but it seems like they intentionally capped the graphics to PS3-level versus PS4-level for PC.

http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/140253

I have no idea why they would do this. Still, is it playable with only keyboard + mouse or do you need a game controller for it?

Any bets on the first Yonkou getting defeated? Big Mam or Kaidou? I feel like it'll be in this order: Big Mam, Kaidou, Shanks, then finally Blackbeard before moving on to Raftel/One Piece and the ultimate conflict at Marineford v2.0/Mariejois.

I'm gonna be weird and actually say that I think that they will both be fought in the same arc (not necessarily the crews, but the big guys themselves). Don't know why, but that's the sort of feeling I have been getting lately. It would be pretty cool if we got to see Luffy fight multiple people at once, though!

Maybe the Strawhats infiltrate Big Mam's territory, presumably to rescue Sanji, and Kaidou will attack just to kill the Strawhats.

The very first person he beat up in the series was a woman. It wasn't exactly love taps and harsh words either - he full on punched her around the place just as much as any other villain in the start of the series. So maybe it doesn't matter so much so long as they're ugly and/or demonstrably bad people.

SJ is very touchy about man-on-woman violence and Alvida was far more comedic than violent. You can see it with the Monet fight too where Tashigi and Monet were free to cut each other to shreds, but the second Zoro steps into the fray he does it nonviolently.

Luffy was also punching around and having a proper fight with Hancock's two sisters in the arena, but never had a fight with Hancock herself so I'm thinking that as long as they're monstrous or somewhat inhuman looking looking it's all okay in the same way that you can't show real guns firing in American cartoons but laser guns are fine, because kids can't actually get laser guns to shoot for themselves. Alvida qualifying by just being inordinately fat or something, I don't know. Or maybe it really does just come down to "Are they ugly? Knock yourself out". Which would be hosed up, but also not terribly surprising if true.

Ah yes, the non violent method of slicing her in half with a bladed weapon.

In One Piece only Namis can hurt other Namis. If someone is a woman but not a Nami (like Alvida, Miss Merry Christmas, or Big Mom) they can be hurt by anybody.

If anything after the timeskip is an indication, get ready for the fight when he activates Gear 4th to be extended as all hell in order to make it more "epic" by making it look like Donflamingos on even footing with him instead of being a savage beatdown similar to when Gear Second was debuted against Blueno and ruining the reveal as a result.

I have no absolutely no faith in Toei to do right by the show anymore and I just keep asking myself how did it end up this bad, because even though it had pacing issues and animation issues early on, the anime was always at least decent to good. Even the filler was decent. Now the show only has a few moments where I could ever consider it good and the rest is just terribly stretched out nonsense because Toei stopped giving a poo poo once One Piece got mega popular.

Let's not forget that said chump had a valid reason to hate humans after they almost kidnapped him and his friends to sell into slavery.

Or that the anime had Luffy run somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 ultra-marathons in order to make it to the walls of Marineford.
