You don't chart the locations of the Road Poneglyphs themselves. The Road Poneglyphs are sea charts that indicate the locations that you need to make the X.

Just as an FYI, it looks like they'll be animating the King Kong gun attack and conclusion to the Luffy vs Doflamingo battle in the anime for next Saturday. It's been a long time coming (I think it was a year ago it premiered in the manga?), I've been looking forward to seeing it in motion! :dance:

Some of the older arcs are pretty good in the anime. I enjoyed Water 7, Thriller Bark and Impel Down a lot. It's post time-skip where pacing gets out of control (half a chapter per episode). They also add stuff to increase tension, like showing Hodi Jones landing big hits on Luffy, when really the only damage Hodi did was that bite Luffy took to protect Shirahoshi.

The One True Oden

Everything up through water 7 is great in the anime. After that it starts to slow down more and more because the plot doesn't really allow for as much filler. And, presumably, Toei figured out that they don't actually have to make the show any good because the sheer popularity of One Piece will carry it. Even big important moments like the Sugar snipe are ruined by awful timing and quality.

I'm pretty sure that it and Naruto are the only endless shonen anime left, everything else goes season by season now. And Naruto is seemingly trying to stall until the Bort manga starts up.

yeah im a bit confused by that as well. everything about him comes off as somewhat depressed and listless, and then everyone else talks about him like he's a horrible monster and he's constantly doing horrible poo poo

im not exactly sure how it lines up

He probably gets really pissed off when he tries to kill himself and it doesn't work.

More likely he used to do terrible poo poo, got a crew that loves doing terrible poo poo, got tired of said terrible poo poo, told said crew to do whatever until they meet someone who might be strong enough to maybe kill him.

Meanwhile he repeatedly faceplants from orbit.

The producers know how completely stupid the ending was, so they've thrown the anime back into filler hell to put it off as long as possible. I think they're re-telling Itachi's backstory for like the fifth time at the moment.

They haven't even introduced Kaguya yet, nor will they until the new manga has started and they have a gameplan for ending Shippuden and transitioning into Bort & Pals, at a guess. There is filler upon filler to go.

Kaido is trying to instigate the war to end all wars in the hopes that something there will kill him. He probably thinks there's a superweapon at Raftel, which is his only motivation to even try to get the ponyglyphs/Wanonians.

I never took it at face value as the guy being suicidal. I always just saw it as him doing it "for fun", getting a thrill from it, because he knows it won't actually kill him.
Otherwise he could easily just drown himself :shrug:

I figure there's a couple reasons why he might go to Raftel. But basically, he wants to make himself a target. And who's a bigger target than the New King of the Pirates?

Depending on how his immortality works, trying to drown himself could lead to spending eternity alive and conscious at the bottom of the sea.
