Zeff referred to the Grand line as a "paradise" before sanji was even part of the crew, long before they got there, everyone after him started calling it a terribly dangerous place, but zeff had probably been to the new world, and so called it that, since people from the new world call the GL paradise. Hundreds of chapters later, we hear the explanation for why he said that.

And that is? Luffy also referred to the Grand Line as Paradise right before they arrived at Konomi Islands although he says the japanese word "Rakuen" instead of Paradise.

And that is this:

Took me quite a while to find it, but that's a name that is given to the first half of the GL by anyone who sets foot in the NW just because they can't believe how much harder the second half is.

Luffy may have just said that because he was eager to get there, or it could be he heard it from shanks, but zeff called it that, and immediately after Don Kreig came screaming about how horrible the first half of the GL is, calling it hell and saying how his armada was immediately decimated by one person there, and he seemed to assume everyone there was like that.

which went to show just how weak Don Craig was. Not so much that one person decimated his crew because that was ust bad luck and timing to encounter Mihawk along the way in the 1st. But he was referring to soo much of what he had already experienced onthe 1st half before encountering Mihawk. And to top it off, we don't even know if he had made it to SA in his journey, yet he had and armada with him. So he was able to get followers, but he wasn't able to handle the stronger people and challenges he would face.

Now looking at the NW so far, there have been different enemies that Luffy has encountered that would be difficult for many to fight, but not so much stronger than all. SO far, we are just seeing how actions in the NW are truly global in impact.

Recurring concept: Luffy falling from the sky to get onto a new island

Luffy is stuck in a giant bird's mouth which got shot down by Buggy's cannon and lands in Orange Town

Saw this on tumblr. Don't know how credible this is.

Maybe there is something behind those ideas, maybe it's all a coincidence.

• Black Leg Sanji with his fire feet back at Drum.

• Luffy climbing a 5km mountain, half of what Tiger Fisher had to get to Mary Joa[even if that part was revealed as a lie later on, him being a slave to begin with etc.].

• Sound/sonic waves are used for destruction. Seen again with Scratchmen Apoo's DF ability and now during the tournament by the Chinjao Family.

I just came across this. Giant ship beeing sliced in half by Mihawk and his apprentice.
Mihawk
Zorro

Im sorry if it's already been posted, i didn't double-check the thread. :P

And in other translation there is said it was a prisoner with "Burrowing DF". That's why it seems highly unlikely to me. It's a nice catch though!

Edit: Or it might have been said in anime.

 

[Schabrak]

Nah, it's true, so thanks for the reminder.

 

[amidaru312]

Guys, Lola being Big Mom daughter could be a huge foreshadow?

 

[Sachsenhesse]

actual i think

that:

is lolas mom, she even has a similar name + if she is lolas mum, she also has then a reason to undo the changes for chopper and co.

 

[M3J]

Nah, it's true, so thanks for the reminder.

Wouldn't disregard Chinjao being the one who dug the tunnels though. Ivankov didn't meet the tunneler, did she? She assumed it was a tunneling devil's fruit user.

 

[Schabrak]

True, but he seems to have lost his nickname years or rather decades ago, while/after fighting Garp. If he lost it there, how would he tunnel out of there and not still have that moniker? Maybe it was really him, but tunneling and drilling are not one and the same in my view. I could have gotten it all wrong too. :/ Would be a nice foreshadowing there/allusion here.

 

[M3J]

He could have made a different name for himself, or those that knew his old moniker aren't with him anymore. I'm not saying that it's him, just that it's still possible Chinjao was the one who dug the tunnels. Though at first, I thought it could have been the mole lady... though I dunno if Impel Down prisoners are ever released.

 

[weixiaobao]

Mole lady wouldn't be on level 5 of Impel Down. Though, the like of Chinjao can be on level 6 or level 5 (since he is stronger than Crocodile but he on about the same tier with Ivankov. Thank gosh, that Luffy fighting evenly with Chinjao that meant he could at least put up a struggle against the top tier of One Piece.

So, I was re-reading the Sabaody Archipelago Arc and noticed that Oda clearly foreshadowed Doflamingo and his production of ''Smiles''.
Last panel: http://www.mangareader.net/103-2611-6/one-piece/chapter-504.html

And that was about 150 chapters before Punk Hazard was introduced.

Hey, I just realized that Dofla has been making smiles for at least 2 years.

He mentioned it to Disco on SA.

Sorry you are a bit late.

Ms. Wednesday = Vivi, the person they are talking to.

Robin is Miss all sunday... Robin joining the crew is one of the more surprise events in One Piece.
