One Piece Discussion & Long Time Prediction Thread

Re: One Piece: The New World

"It would make sense" doesn't make it true.

I guess that, like the other mangas, the animators will give a new name to the anime, probably a title like yours (we'll call it OPNW or NW), but I don't think the mangaka himself will.

Yeah i wasn't really referring to the actual manga itself being renamed. But everything other then the manga that involves OP most likely will have a name change and the way its referred to. Kind of like how with Naruto everything but the manga has Shippuden titled in it now. And the people are most likely going to refer to the manga as One Piece:_______ and whatever gets chosen when they talk about the manga. But the actual manga title probably won't change.

Re: One Piece: The New World

Hm, name change or not, I don't think it matters XD

Although, just to note, isn't the only time a manga name changes when it changes magazines, right?

Anyways, going back, am I the only one who thinks that the biggest change isn't going to be about Luffy's crew (granted, they will all have matured and grown) but rather the state of the world itself? I mean, Blackbeard with a 2 year leave, Whitebeard dead, Sengoku and Garp stepping down, Smoker going to the New World. I can't help but feel that the biggest haul over is going to be the One Piece world status quo itself.

Re: One Piece: The New World

Now we finally know what Oda meant when in Strong World he said "This is Luffy's last adventure as a 17 year old boy"

and here i was getting shut down by the idea of a timeskip a couple months ago because of this line lol

You're right and I think that's really refreshing for the manga!
In 2 years, many things can happen on Grand Line: Return of Enel and his "army", RA new moves, Moria's reappearance (yeah i like the invisible lion guy theory ) but imo the most intriguing thing is how the WG will handle the ex lvl 6 prisoners.

Re: One Piece: The New World

I predict:
Fleet Admiral Akainu. Sure Aokiji was recommended, but given the Gorousei's view on things, Akainu's the truly effective marine. The marines will have been transformed into a cold-blooded ruthlessly efficient pirate killing organization under his leadership.
Vice-Admiral Coby.
(Admiral Smoker?)

Actually, we don't have any damn information on who the Gorusei would prefer as the next Fleet Admiral. I bet we'll know in one month. Let's wait.

Re: One Piece: The New World

I dont think the Gorusei would hold Akainu "on the line", if you know what i mean. Hes more valuable as a fighter, hunting down everybody who is a thread to the WG and the Nobles.

Re: One Piece: The New World

Well, Sengoku also was a powerfull fighter before. I don't know why transfer such an powerfull individual to "bureaucratic" jobs, however they do so.

Fleet Admiral is who control the marines, and Akainu as the leader would represent the brutality it evolved after the death of Whitebeard. The marines now must do something about the New World islands left by Whitebeard, and the pirates inspired by his last words.

Aokiji, on the other hand, would represent that the marines become more lazy and slow...?

 

[Skyrius]

Re: One Piece: The New World

In my personal opinion, Aokiji becoming Fleet Admiral wouldn't so much be "lazy" as remaining status quo. He's not ruthless like Akainu, but shows the same determination to stop pirates as Sengoku does. However, he has a sense of morality and honor, which would be essential to stop the Marines from becoming complete monsters in the eyes of the readers. Also, I think having Aokiji become Fleet Admiral has the most potential for the story in the long run. Having Akainu, who's so set and single-minded kind of forces Oda's hand to write in a certain way.

Well, I could always be wrong, but that's just my take XP

Re: One Piece: The New World

Since marines are the bad guys, why not put "the baddest" (akainu) at charge? would make sense, btw aokiji might be a lazy guy, but giving orders and thinking strategies and such he could be really good.

Re: One Piece: The New World

mayb chopper will look more uncute so like mayb??

 

[goldb]

Re: One Piece: The New World

I hope the physical appearance isn't too noticeable and different from the characters we fell in love with. I'd hate to see a less cute version of Chopper

 

[Aikidoka]

Re: One Piece: The New World

Akainu shouldn't be Fleet Admiral. From what we've seen so far the Fleet Admiral mostly does desk work. Akainu should be out there committing the acts of brutality to stay the monster we've come to view him as. It would be more effective IMO.

Re: One Piece: The New World

I get the impression oda intents to reboot the entire series with the timeskip so perhaps adding something to the title would fit.

 

[JesseZojo]

Re: One Piece: The New World

I'm not familiar with other manga series and how they did their timeskips...but this is Oda. He won't do anything just because someone else did it. Anytime there's been a time change in the narrative "A few days later/ago"...well, should be just about like that...just two years instead. No need to introduce new characters..no need to reintroduce familiar characters (except with a DON!).

Re: One Piece: The New World

Regarding Aokiji as Fleet Admiral, I think Sengoku has ulterior motives. This is a theory I've had in mind for a while, I think Sengoku has foreseen that one day BB will be stopped. And he knows that the day when that comes is the day when the Marines & Pirates form a temporary treaty in order to stop BB. Sengoku knows exactly how dangerous he is. That's why Sengoku placed Aokiji as Fleet Admiral because Aokiji is a pretty open-minded person. One of the reasons why Sengoku prefers Aokiji is because he was Garp's pupil. Garp was an open-minded person who doesn't always follow the rules. He disobeyed the order to kill Ace & Rouge. This is where Garp's influence on Aokiji lies. In other words, if they wanted to take BB down one day, they need someone like Aokiji at the top so both sides can cooperate. Aokiji respected Luffy a lot, just like Garp respected Roger & fulfilled his last wishes.

You know where I'm going with this, right?
Luffy will obviously try & take down BB, but he would need the cooperation of the Marines to do so. From what we've seen at Impel Down & Aokiji's comments of Luffy's ability to make anyone into his allies even though they don't realize it, clearly foreshadows the partnership with the Marines.

Re: One Piece: The New World

Is it just me or did Rayleigh not really explain how the Conqueror Haki was going to be useful in battles against decently strong opponents? I mean yeah i get that it can take out all of the weaklings and save the user the trouble of physically taking them out. But i guess i just don't see much more use for it at this point.

Hence why it'll be the one Luffy gravitates to. Its the "most powerful" but all he said was, "oh, you have experienced this one". There's more to it.

It's the basics. And not so many people has it, so it may be weird to be developed in other ways.

Anyway, I think it has to do with forcing things unlikely to happen to happen. And yes, I think Luffy luck has to do with this.

Re: One Piece: The New World

i dont necessary think conqueror haki is that useful in one on one battles. it's only use would be to intimidate people like shanks did. other than that it seems invaluable when facing armies
