My thoughts exactly. I really hope that this happens, but this also means that Chopper and Robin are useless as well. I guess they don't need their DF to show off since they probably gained knowledge over the two years. Well we would miss out on Choppers new forms if he has any, but that is a...
Re: Marineford arc : the best or the worse Arc ?
There is always people who talk big, but getting KO'ed with a fist imprint in the side of your face shuts them up. I believe Oda did it to make a point about Luff & Zoro learning that they have to choose their battles - also that they have...
I shudder at the though of adding a "monster" woman to the trio. I imagine her as a ugly gorilla, like that old fish woman..what is her name.. from the water 7 arc...see blocked it out. Whoever they add probably wont be in the monster trio but have three qualities. 1 - down for a good time. 2 -...
Do you think Luffy has the reputation to claim an Island as his or under his protection? Regular pirates/people are afraid of him, but that is about it. I doubt he would even want to, it would tie him down and take away from his ultimate freedom.
Re: Marineford arc : the best or the worse Arc ?
That allowed Luffy to come back and knock him out with one punch, which made him look like a total bad ass. I thought it was worth it.
Re: One Piece 601 Spoiler Discussion Thread
"You're too slow" - Luffy graduated out of the AAA (rookies). He's in the big leagues now - Sorry. Horrible, I know but its baseball playoffs and it fits :D
"I feel that we will meet again" - I thought that was a great line. I see this as...
Re: One Piece 601 Spoiler Discussion Thread
I see what your saying, but before the time skip he had "partial" Gear 3 - basically he would alternate between different parts of his body to become like a giants (punch then kick then balloon). Now he is essentially focusing the steam to his arm...
Re: One Piece 601 Spoiler Discussion Thread
Can Luffy go Gear 2 on certain body parts now? In this chapter, it looks like just his arm goes into Gear 2. Talk about control.
Re: One Piece 601 Spoiler Discussion Thread
The last one has to be fan fiction - wtf is Zeno? But it looks like this chapter will be E.P.I.C! Pretty much the chapter everyone has been waiting for.
I really hope that Luffy doesn't have to fight Sentomaru & 2 PX's. What's the point of everyone getting stronger over the last two years? - They got stronger so he wouldn't have to fight all of the battles.
For me it has to be the Enies lobby arc. It has the best battles, the SH "powered" up, emotional (Robin yelling that she wants to live) and the ending of going merry. It also was a turning point in the manga where it becomes SH vs. the Marines - sets up Impel down and Marine HQ. Basically the...
To put it simply, yes.
Luffy has accomplished a lot, I dare say more than any other pirate of his age and this time period. He has a lot of first's under his belt too; Enies Lobby, Impel down, etc. Terrifying maybe, but notoriety and fame probably make him larger than life to most people...
