One Piece Mega Convo Thread, the 1st Chapter

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Nobody seems to be discussin anything :P

My thoughts?

We saw zoro get his sword eaten away so he has to find his 3rd meaningful sword I think Oda thought that the one shopkeeper giving his sowrd up was a dumb idea so he used the one navy guy to melt the sword. I mean think about it for a second. Zoro never really got close or connectd with the sword at all. Perhaps the demon one will become even more demon like now that these spirits are roaming around. Again though, I think Chopper will shine in this mini/arc showing he is a serious player in this game.

Zoro will get his new sword from the Guardian shown in chapter 450. The same guardian that pushed Ussopp's team into the laboratory. Even better reasoning that he know the layout of the halls so well, where as zoro easily gets lost.

I think Dr. zombiemakerguy, will end up facing off with chopper. Sanji will have to fight the liony lookin guy along with franky because they need more team-up time. Likewise I think Nami and Ussopp will face the ghosty girly because they both need to face their fears of ghosts. Sanji can't fight her cause she's a girl and it was shown that he OBVIOUSLY will NEVER fight a girl with his loss to the soap soap girl. And I think franky wont beable to fight her cause he does physical attacks and she's a ghost. (though fire might help.) And it give ussopp a chance to come up with new ideas and stradegy to use against ghosts. (powder, or fire, or something).

I think we will also see Luffy go really heavily into Gear 3 if not 4 (which might be a combination of gear 3 and 2 so its like a really strong giant body). I can see him having to be a REAL giant in order to take on Moria. (maybe not actually be a real giant, but at least hitting like one). It really depends on how large this arc is. Im sure it will be a smaller one after the last one we saw. If it is, I can expect that maybe Luffy will learn a thing or two from Moria and ultimately have to defeat him but not really perfect gear 3/4. (Assuming the gear 3 we see now isnt perfected)
As far as Robin's roll I see her more as a side character in this arc. (though we love her to death) we had plenty of her last story arc (like the ENTIRE ARC). so she'll prolly sit on the back burner for a while. I'm not entirely sure how she's going to help in this one. I think that If for some reason Ussopp's party cant make it outside, then Robin will take the place of zombie pwner. and the rest of luffy's party (excluding zoro and luffy) will take care of the ghost girl and the leapard guy.

(by the way if you cant tell i copied and pasted this response in the 450 predictions also)

About this thread: it is true that it hasn't a lot of activity lately, but his purpose is explained below:

"In here you can randomly talk about practically anything involving the One Piece universe. Anything that comes to mind that you don't really feel like starting a thread about in the Tree of Knowledge."

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Does anyone know or can work out how long Luffy's journey has taken? From when he sets off in his little boat until he lands on thriller Bark. Or is One Piece one of those manga, which no one ages in. Cos it seems Luffy's done a hell of a lot of adventures in a short space of time.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

their journey does suppose to take time, but since there are anime fillers and their cruising time is always cut up, so it's hard to make an assumption of how much time they're traveling.. But this is a good question to ask Oda sensei.. maybe some japanese guy can.. O_o

Great question! Its difficult because of the sailing time...but we know it can be weeks between GL islands. But to balance that out huge arcs the the CP9 Saga were only a week or two...

For a completely off the wall esitmate I'd say...about 2 years on the outside. Probably only one.
It's still a pretty new crew, even counting the oldest members.

P.S.- Brooke will probably be the first Straw Hat to have never sailed on Merry. Itll be like a christening of the Sunny Go.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

That would be an interesting project, putting together a comprehensive One Piece time-line I mean. Maybe it's already been done on the web somewhere. I imagine google has the answer.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

As we can see from the latest chapter, it seems that many of the zombies who have been modified by Dr. Hogback have the same abilities as some of our heroes. That can be assumed because the "other intruder" seems to be Brooke, the humming swordsman, who it looks like had his abilities almost copied (or mirrored through his shadow, maybe). Thus, it can be assumed that by maybe sewing a shadow to a zombie (in a very peter pan fashion), the zombies can become like other people. This would explain the Sanji-like Doguin and the Zoro-like geezer zombie.

The only questions left are, a) Does Moria steal the shadows and Hogback use them on zombies? and b) Do the strawhats need another swordsman (Brooke)?

 

[MDLatqp]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I'm not sure what to make of the ability to remove someone's shadow. On the one hand, it seems a likely candidate for an akuma no mi, since it is so unique. And except for this part of the Grand Line (where it's so foggy), losing one's shadow anywhere (in a battle for example), would almost always mean instant death. Then again, it's possible that Hogback has somehow developed a procedure to remove them, and Gecko Moria has some other akuma no mi (or none at all, and is simply a giant). For some reason, I get the feeling it's an akuma no mi that makes it possible to steal shadows from people, rather than a process. We'll eventually find out, but that what I'm thinking.

As for your second question Grape, oh most assuredly. And rather than look at it from the perspective of needing another swordsman or not, look at it from the perspective of needing another crewman or not (which he does). And quite honestly, I sincerely hope that Brooke will join the crew (Cerberus too, but every chapter leads me to believe more and more that that hope is in vain....).

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

about brooke joining the mugiwaras i belive it would be so cool, because although franky sings with a guitar, he isn't a real musician, and that's what luffy has been lookinf for from the beginning and as you can see brooke is actually a musician, he would make a great addition to the crew for that ability after that i don't really know what they will be after, but we'll just have to wait.

now on to another subject i care, buugy the clown, i just love that villain how has he managed to travel around grand line being shown as a weakling in the first chapters, damn maybe we'll see other old time villains joining to his crew, villains with thair whereabouts are unknown like kuro, arlong, don krieg, even though i can predict that arlong or something related to him will be shown sooner, cause the mugiwaras were heading to the merman/maid land.

 

[MDLatqp]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

arlong mentioned Pell in one of the other threads, and that got me to thinking. While in Arabasta, Pell mentioned that his akuma no mi (the tori tori no mi, model: falcon) is "one of only five types of flying ability known throughout the world." Anyone think that might foreshadow something REALLY cool later? Or did he just mean there were five akuma no mis that were known to be zoan fruits of different birds or something? What does everyone think?
Also speaking of Arabasta, in episode 102, Luffy, Zoro, and Chopper stumbled upon an underground chamber that appeared to have a poneglyph in it. Has that ever been referenced anywhere else? I can't recall myself....

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

couldnt he have pumped his muscles and after they were so big htey had to "rest" so they got smaller than before.. and thats why he was so strong?

From using Norland's Log book as a guide, it is possible to work out the current storyline of One Piece takes place in the year 1522.
Despite the lack of modern technology, Luffy mentions a laser, which is a modern word created in the late 20th century. Also, some navy soldiers own fax machines. Plus, Franky modified himself into a cyborg, something that is not available even in modern day technology.
Due to the nature of the Grand Line, each islands progress varies. Some islands like Little Garden are set back in prehistoric times allowing dinosaurs to survive, while others like Water 7 remain highly advanced with modern technology. Various factors play a part in the contributation of an islands progression such as Log Pose time change, the islands dangers and environmental conditions. These conditions on an island may also change any time, an example being Water 7, which originally cut off due to Sea Kings and suffered heavy from a lack of trade until the inventation of the Sea Train.

this is copy pasted from wikipedia. there is also a time line before the story.. these facts ^ can explain why no one's face changed. maybe the air and climat has done somthing

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Xarcer can you give me a link for that I can't find it on Wikipedia.

 

[MDLatqp]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Has anyone noticed how in Chapter 434, Whitebeard mentions that's it's been 22 years since the time of Gol D. Roger (since he's been killed)? Since we also know that Roger was killed 22 years before the very beginning of the story, does that mean that all of Luffy's adventures have taken less than a year? Less than six months maybe (otherwise Whitebeard probably would've rounded up or something)? Any thoughts?

Oh, and I'm pretty sure someone's asked this before, but I'd just like to see what everyone thinks.

Buggy, Buggy, Buggy. I've wondered about him.

Being one of the two members we know that remain of Gol. D. Rogers old crew he CANT fade into obscurity like Arlong.....but he's just no Shanks. The way the Mugiwara are improving I just dont see how Buggy can hope to make good on his vendetta against Luffy. He better get all of luffy's old opponents..including Eneru.

The wiki timeline is for everything up to a year b4 the first arc...so it really doesnt help figure out how long its been since luffy set out.

Also....I mean their faces havent changed because they COULDNT have been on the seas for mare than 2 years. lol....not the tropical weather.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

i was playing one piece gran adventure and i wondered, what if buggy defeats mihawk or something like that before zoro does, could it be possible, i mean buggy cannot be defeated by a swordman, but that's jusst something we'll see in the future.
