Why is it so hard for you to just say "What do you dislike about it?" Why is it immediately "I don't know how?" Like your brain is actually completely unable to empathize with somebody who dislikes something that you like.

Just say what you dislike about it holy poo poo

I still like that Doflamingo's awakened power could conceivably have been control over the strings that theoretically comprise every object in existence

So, how's the awakened Gomu Gomu gonna work when it happens? My bet is Luffy gains the ability to reduce the integrity of other living beings flesh to turn them into I Have No Mouth Yet I Must Scream style piles of rubber goo permanently.

If Doflamingo's was the guy known for controlling everything to be able to control literally everything inanimate, and Blackbeard's being the guy who gains all his power by taking from others being able to take something connected to the very core of a person, what will the power be of the man who just does not go down, and seeks the highest freedom possible?

It's a major theme of the arc - Arlong calls Nami "his" nakama, like she's his friend/crewmate/etc, but Luffy corrects him, that she's actually their nakama. He says this even though she's currently considered a member of the Arlong pirates. This is one of the reasons I support the distinction. It would, at the very least, be awkward in English to use any other word in that situation. No, "friend" doesn't work. Because Arlong doesn't consider Nami a friend. She's someone who works for him. No, "crewmate" doesn't work, (in this exact situation and almost no others) because Nami is undeniably a member of the Arlong pirates. So Luffy saying, "she's MY crewmate!" makes him sound like an idiot.

Luffy is an idiot.

I'm starting to get an idea of why Caesar and Sanji aren't there anymore.

It shouldn't much matter where Roger came from (unless he's a Celestial Dragon or some poo poo), what was important were the things he did as a pirate, and there will probably be a few more big surprises pertaining to that remaining in the manga.

So I have a question which will hopefully spark a page long derail so I have to ask.

Is Luffy attractive? I mean like Ussop wasn't hot or marketable enough to be a Jean Freak. So does Luffy have the qualities hot shonen protagonist?

he's the protagonist of the series, and also yes

To be honest, it's never really specified when Shanks became an Emperor, so that could very well be the case.

Still, he was famous for his battles with Mihawk even before meeting Luffy, during the age of Roger.

Though back then his name would have been overshadowed by that of his captain's.

Shanks was like 10 during the age of Roger

After everything else that happened, including a sucker knifing from his own crew member. It's just not that impressive after all that.


He gets his big power-up with Whitebeard's fruit and talks a lot of poo poo about how great he is, then Shank's crew shows up and he fucks off like a bitch. He a buster.



A fight with Shanks then and there could well have ended up with Blackbeard facing not just him, but the really, really pissed off remnants of Whitebeard's crew and the entirety of the World Government, who are now pretty pissed off themselves that he played them.

It was a good deal smarter to break off then and fight some cleaner battles later than risk fighting half of the strongest people in the world at once, especially after Whitebeard just kicked his poo poo in.

I'm calling it now, Pudding's going to turn out to be super attractive and actually a good thing for Sanji. And, in a first for him, he'll turn down/postpone it so he can keep on going with the Straw Hats until they reach Raftel.

It just occurred to me that for not being able to swim being the only weakness of a devil fruit, it's only been a plot device with Buggy being mad and Luffy vs Arlong.

Whitebeard and his allies still attacked Navy HQ and gave no fucks. Maybe Kaidou would want to attack to start the biggest war in history like he wants to? Dunno, just throwing out speculation.

Either way, I freaking love the "the world is turning!?" political development segments in One Piece. It's cool going from the micro-myopic view of the Straw Hats crew then shifting to the macro-view of these parts, like with the Elder Stars and Marine HQ meetings.

Still waiting on Green Bull to make his debut. I keep imagining a taller, thinner guy or smaller, bulkier guy in contrast to Fujitora. He's probably going to be another Japanese celebrity parody too. Maybe a reference to a famous Japanese boxer or wrestler?

I've just got this bad feeling they're gonna board, everyone gets all excited and mistakes it for Sanji escaping on his own, then Nonji sucker punches Nami or something, just to drive home the point of how different a breed this curly browed douche is from our regular curly browed douche.

She's been shown eating people before and they were singing about jam made of human blood. I'd say her making people into food is fairly likely.

Oh Big Mam tots eats people, I'm not debating that, just that from what I read in the chapter all I saw was people in different food lands being murdered for their produce. The jam being made from human blood thing could also just be code for "Big Mam is really loving metal and this is going to get ugly" too.

Honestly it'd be pretty neat if after all the hints dropped about different people it turned out to be the guy who started off doing horrible poo poo and never wanted to be with the Straw Hats, slowly turning around through exposure to them.

E: the story would probably be over for the length of time it would take for him to actually make the switch convincingly, though, Vegeta took almost the entire series from his appearance to switch and he got an enormous amount of focus compared to Caesar. It's probably not happening

Caesar wouldn't know about Carrot and Pedro, who exactly from the Strawhats would be here, or that Pekoms was involved. That all happened after he and Sanji got taken by Capone.

She probably does have info from Sanji's family though. All the more reason to kick them latter. I am getting a little worried that they're going to try and pull some idiotic double cross and set up an assassination of Pudding though. Sanji's story just isn't black enough yet.

Doesn't this go all the way back to Fishman Island at the very least?
