One Piece Mega Convo Thread, the 1st Chapter

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Yeah but Kuma was commenting on Luffy's comrades before mentioning Dragon, that is the main reason many of us implied that they could have been former comrades, because Dragon had a similar knack for choosing strong friends like Luffy, and considering Kuma is pretty fucking strong, well you et my drift.......

Kuma was commenting on Luffy's comrades because he had observed and admired how the Mugiwara crews denied to give in Luffy's head without any hesitation, and the way Zoro & Sanji had heroically acted to protect their captain; I think any man with the admiration of honor would deem to comment the same thing; so I don't think it was enough of a clue foreshadowing him and Dragon being comrades before.
It's also never showed anywhere that Dragon had a knack for choosing strong friends: he was presented alone when he interrupted Smoker from succeeding in catching Luffy, and none of his notable strong comrades were shown to be recognised the second time Oda had him appeared in some island some of his revolutionary forces had base on.

Have we ever wondered is perhaps Dadan or davdan or whatever that guy mentioned in luffy's hometown is perhaps Kuma? I have no clue why, their names aren't even similar or close, but maybe it's his middle name (which would mean that Kuma has the Will of D) I dunno just throwing it out there...

Kuma's been a pirate and considering how the old man in Luffy's village always mentioned upsettingly about Luffy becoming pirate I don't think Kuma's Dadan. Kuma's reasonable and calm personalities also totally opposes to the other people with the D. in their names imo.

Re: One Piece 518 Discussion/519 Predictions

I guess page 1 isn't just for characters of the past. Has Oda actually done entire stories for the page 1 snapshots somewhere else?

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Not to mention that it'll still be a looooooooong way before Oda gives Dragon a more spotlight presence in the story, so there'd be little point in introducing his companions, even the strongest ones. I mean, we only just found out about Ray, and he's only the first mate of the Pirate King himself! I'm sure Oda will introduce us to all the important guys when the time comes

 

[SpaceDBadger]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I dunno Ray is a pretty big deal, I mean he is probably the 2nd most notorious person in OP history after Gol.D, so the fact that Oda has introduced him, in my mind, makes it likely that he'll introduce other big players fairly soon, I would say on an arc basis after we get to mermaid island, but then again that could be anywhere between 3 months to a year ahahaha

Exactly. But maybe not that long of a wait for the mermaid island because that's just not cool if I have to wait much longer than this -___-

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Guys, you are insane. I loved all the arcs after Ennies Lobby. I will never get that thing about asking for Gyojin Island...

Since Dragon is the most wanted criminal, he may be at the New World where WG has no control, and them it's safe for him.

 

[Wowzers]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

When we first saw Dragon he wasn't even on the grand line, he was at Logue Town so I think he goes where-ever he wants. He is overthrowing countries that are part of the Grand Line. Much of his work is probably in the 1st half, probably along some of the other routes that the Strawhats never took. We still don't know very much about the 2nd half of the grand line but it seems likely there are countries there too. Probably more powerful ones too since the Yonkou find it profitable (preferable?) to be there.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Dadan? I must have forgotten about him. What's the deal with him? (sorry)

About the big guys in One Piece World. I guess they'll start to be introduced once the Strawhats enter the New World. Like what they say, all the most notorious guys settle there so most of them must be lurking somewhere in the New World. But then again, we might spot a couple of big guys before entering the latter part of the Grand Line.... Possibly during this Shabondy Arc or in the Mermaid Arc. As for Dragon.... well, if he's the most wanted criminal in the OP World, then it's sensible to think that he has the influence to gather powerful nakama.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

This is all how Dadan was mentioned: http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-440/page004.html (Stephen's translation).

 

[haruka9]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Thank you very much for that Yabe. I must have forgottent about that whole Dadan thing. Anyway, he appears to be controversial. It seems that he's the guy who served as Luffy's guardian. I remember Garp saying that he left Luffy to "his friend" to take care of him. So, there is a chance that Dadan must be his guardian/caretaker when he's still a kid.

 

[Fox666]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

It is the most probable.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I was re-reading some chapters and ch 440 really stuck in my head. I realized that Luffy isn't going to be the only party-crasher at Ace's execution. For example: Wouldn't this be an ideal opportunity to unbalance the World Government and maybe even strike a major blow right at Mariejoa it'self? Dragon The Revolutionary will be showing up for sure! Isn't he also Ace's father (or maybe stepfather since different family names). Shanks maybe there as well, but probably not to help. Whitebeard declined his advice so Shanks will not help out WB but he may be lurking the background to mop up the pieces.

Guest of Honor: Portags D Ace

World Government:
Fleet Admiral Sengoku
Admirals Aokiji, Akainu and Kizaru
Vice Admirals Garp, Momonga and others.
Various CP#'s
Thousands of subbordinates

Shichibukai:
Blackbeard
Don Quixote DoFlamingo (seems to have a lot of crew)
Boa Hancock (don't think she will RSVP
Dracule Mihawk (probably too early for Zoro to meet him)
Barthlomew Kuma
Gecko Moria (Might still be recovering from fight with Luffy)
Jimbei


Whitebeard Pirates:
Whitebeard
Division Captains Marco and Joz
Possible replacement for 4th division captain killed by BB.
Probably lots of strong crew but some are still weak as demonstrated in ch434. We know so little about Whitebeards forces that it will be hard to compare against World Government but to me it seems unbalanced in favour of World Gov't.

Possible Party Crashers:

Monkey D. Luffy
Other Strawhats that make it there on time.
Monkey D. Dragon the Revolutionary and his men
Miscellaneous Yonkou

 

[bittman]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Well I doubt the marines will draw in all their marine forces, there are other parts of the world in trouble. I will be surprised if Garp turns up also on that note.

I expect all the Shichibukai to turn up, Moria included, though I put a slight amount of doubt on Hancock given the current arc.

Definitely all of the above Whitebeard pirates.

Party crashers are a shaky maybe at best. I can't see other Yonkou's turning up partly because we don't know of the other two's personalities and the other part because Whitebeard is as strong as he is arrogant and would refuse help or even attack his helpers. I can almost see Luffy there, but at the same time the party is crowded enough that him being there would kind of ruin precious pages that could be spent introducing Jimbei or talking up Mihawk and Blackbeard some more. Other strawhats are also in the same category as Luffy, however I would discount Zoro since if he see's Mihawk again, he will want to battle despite his current condition. We've already had one ZorovMihawk trumping, another is too much.

Dragon is the only party crasher maybe I think may have a small say, but it would be a good stage to introduce a sneaky Yonkou.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Ace's execution is going to be beyond epic scale. I doubt Oda will sacrifice Ace just to make another historical remark on his series. Besides, it's not his style. Ace will just be a bait to whatever the f@*k the World Government is planning in regards with the "balance" of power. Somebody will surely save him and it will create a long line of possible saviors. It will also be a showmanship of the strength of other popular characters like Newgate and other Shichibukai members. It also opens doors to possible appearances of other characters like Shanks and Dragon. And if another Yonkou will appear, oh man, this is going to blow us away big time.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

So I'm laying in bed the other night (you know it's said and you read too much Manga when you can't sleep because you're thinkin of OP *sigh) ANYWAY! I was thinking at the incredible cast OP now has, and something about OP is you know that the SH's won't beat all the "villains" they'll be villains taking on villains taking on heroes and unknowns taking out both....So i was just trying to think up various ways in which this cast could be seriously crippled considering I think Ace execution will be the perfect site and considering it's fast approaching I'm going to make some possible match up and fight predictions:

So:
I'm thinking possibly Whitebeard vs Doflamingo (obviously victory to WB)

I just don't really see him as a potential SH opponent, he's been introduced he's had his part to play in this manga and I don't think SH are going to face all the Shichibuki in fact far from it therefore i think he'll show of his power but be overwhelmed by the worlds strongest man.

I think if Mihawk makes an appearance he'll possibly take on the WB 1st division guy

Mihawk win, don't know why just a guess, well i guess the fact that he's the stongest swordsman in the world could be why he wins hehhe

Moria vs 3rd division guy (win WB pirates)
Again made an appearance in the manga and i think he hsould just die already, plus we're going to have to have a couple of big wins to WB's because i think they will inevitably lose

I don't think either Kuma or Jimbei will be involved, because at this point we're pretty bloody sure that Luffy will attend the execution and he's not seeing Luffy again the SH and I think Jimbei is going to be the big enemy of Mermaid isle, also no Boa considering the events of this arc so far

That then leaves Blackbeard, now I won't be surprised if him and his crew take on the 2nd and 4th division, both who will want revengeon Blacbeard for Ace and the 4th leader being killed, plus i think that wouldbe a good way for BB to show the full extent of his powers

And finally BB will beat WB in a big Shanks told you so victory.....
Now this then leaves Ace in a bit of a pickle i suppose he could take on an admiral, but i don't think they'll be getting involved, of course he could also just not fight.....
But this then leaves the Sh's with no real opponent, which means i think Jimbei might be their opponent and they don't face at mermaid isle but at Ace execution, buti think if the SH's go to mermaid Isle first then face him later at the execution......
And obviously the rest of the SH's taking on his crew....

Just a bit of thinking any comments?

 

[paradoxe]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Erm I think you missed the 13 WB Crew Division Commanders who will also be taking part..

 

[SpaceDBadger]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

*shrug* they take on marine fodder? We haven't been introduced to any of the big players from any other 5-13 so i figured i couldn't really comment

 

[paradoxe]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I guess.

But I really don't think they're fodder..at lesat 5-9 are probably above Luffy in terms of power.

 

[Fox666]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I think Ace will end up dead, but his death will be epic. And he eventually will be shown smilling during his execution.

I imagine the "new" characters showing up new abilites, Sakasuze and Doflamingo, fighting various commanders.
Since this arc may end up with enormous deaths to Whitebeard, we probably may see the various divisions commanders but not to extend.
