"d[-.- posted:b" post="457001266"] You can never have too many skull islands. One Piece is actually a giant straw hat that sits atop the skull island.

Robin has apparently seen and read dozens of them. In the story we only see them at Alabasta, Skypea, Fishman Island, and Zou. All of those ponyglyphs relayed important information both for the story and the world.

Well, I mean, there's the RIO Poneglyph too. And they are kind of integral to Robin's whole character. You can think there are only four vital to the plot. Y'know. If you're stupid.

A fair point, but if they are holding it in secret to deal with the next Pirate King (or assault Raftel when it is finally revealed in a last-ditch attempt to destroy/permanently remove the Ponyglyph residing there), that would not surprise me. Also I think Shanks has knowledge of the third Ponyglyph and Blackbeard will kill him to take/read it.

Luffy's just not empathetic to the idea of "can't" and "shouldn't". These are foreign concepts to him and best avoided.

Veskit posted:You're just reiterating my point using big words. It's disorienting. They matter for the history of the world. Four point to Raftel yes, but that's not the only important thing in the story. They give us context as to what exactly the World Government was hiding and what could be hidden on Raftel. Plus they also store information on the goddamn super weapons and other important plot stuff, which also ties back into Robin's personal goal of knowing the full history of the world. Reaching Raftel without knowing all the other information first is pointless because you don't have the full view on things and can come to potentially false conclusions, which is exactly what Rayleigh told Robin. The story doesn't stop at just knowing where Raftel is and reaching it, there's alot more going on than that. Asuron fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Mar 4, 2016 |

Veskit posted:I'm not a fan of how disoriented the poneglyphs are just throwing that out there. 4 are location ones and the others are just bullshit to speculate on forever basically? One Piece still has many years to go before we can see Robin travel the world and bring every single Poneglyph's message to the Rio Poneglyph.

Brook is like 9 feet tall you just kind of forget about it because every villain is like double that.Your Dunkle Sans posted:It'd be loving brutal even by One Piece standards if the guy was literally boiled to death when he was alive. That was a traditional execution method in Feudal Japan (famously it was used to execute Goemon Ishikawa) so it actually fits since that seems to be the country's whole gimmick.

That was what I was thinking of, yeah. Feudal society was pretty hosed up, yo. What are the chances we'll see literal torture depicted in One Piece? Kaidou doesn't seem to be above that kind of thing, considering we literally saw Jack cut off the arms/legs off Nekomamushi and Inuarashi already on-panel.

Im betting on one piece not being a reward but an incentive. The point of it is not to get people to acquire it but to get to where it is. And Roger announced it to the world to make sure that the only people who could or want to get to it are people who arent satisfied with where they are (like the Yonkou) and also whom are immensely powerful/resourceful enough to beat every other pirate to it.
