Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Well Mr. Steak is right on the money about it being relevant, but he isn't gonna find that out for like over a year.

The Rokuogan does have a bit of movement. It's a two-fisted one-inch punch - like Tekkai, but offensive rather than defensive.

I had to go and check what chapter Shanks reveals that Blackbeard made them and it's 434, so we'll see if this read through ever gets there

I just remembered Aokiji is working for Blackbeard now, most likely as a double agent.

Does this mean we'll eventually get a rematch between Aokiji and the Straw Hats? If so, I'd expect an explicit callback to Long Ring Long Island and how Luffy and co. have grown since then.

To be fair, Oda probably thought the same thing when he wrote that first chapter.

I did say barely any movement, but I actually totally forgot that bit. It just doesn't really appear like that in the anime, they just stand there and thrust slightly and then MASSIVE AIR CANNON DAMAGE THROUGH THE ENTIRE BODY.

Speaking of the blind read thread:

quote:

Okay, we need to talk about this name. I'm sure y'all must already know this, but.... ワンピース (ie: the name of the series and the legendary treasure), um.... it means dress. Lmao I haven't the slightest clue what connection this has to the plot, but that's just the literal Japanese word for "dress". As in, the article of clothing. It's not a pun, or an alternate spelling, it's just the word exactly as written in dictionaries. WHY???? Lmao, now when they eventually find the treasure, I want it to just be a really fancy dress. And the entire series was all just a setup to that one horrible horrible pun.

Am I the only idiot who didn't know this? If we get to the end of the series and the One Piece turns out to be a fancy dress, suit, T-shirt or something related, very much like the "treasure" in the first act of Monkey Island 1, I'm going to lose my mind, a Laugh Tale indeed.

Since it's katakana it's a borrowed word anyways so it probably comes from that in the first place.

You know I gotta give props to the people who edited the 4kids version. Having to splice all those scenes together to make sense out of everything they cut would've been really difficult. They somehow made it coherent even though they took out so much.

I've been rereading some of the early One Piece chapters, and they explicitly mention about needing to do a background check with Coby because of pirates secretly wanting to join the Marines as spies. I wonder if Oda eventually wanted to use that as a plot point that early on ie Vergo?

Besides, how did Vergo hide his ties to the Doflamingo Family? Did they ever mention that?

E:

Obviously Shanks and Buggy are here, but did Oda ever use any of these other character designs? The one in green looks cool. Pretty interesting to see how things have changed since the early days.

I mean he had Shanks and Buggy be mates on their old crew, and specifically told the anime not to have Shanks or Buggy call the guy who scolded them in Buggy's flashback(Rayleigh) captain

I'm assuming a translator just used an idiom from our own world without thinking it through, but it makes sense in a way. Four Blues, the White Sea, the White-White Sea, and the Grand Line. Alternatively, if you don't count cloud seas, it's the four Blues, Paradise, the New World, and the Calm Belt.

I assumed All Blue was too small to really be called a sea; otherwise someone would have found it.
