Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Yeah, Roger's dead. That was just Dragon thinking about a quote of Roger's. Since Dragon seems to sort of use that quote as his philosophy. He really IS like Luffy in alot of ways...

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

That just makes me believe believe even more that Dragon knew Roger personally, maybe he was his uncle or something

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Yeah, the "D" would kind of draw someone to believe that they are related or knew each other or something. Maybe Dragon, Roger, and BB are all Garp's sons.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

No way, the age gap is huge. I'm sure that all the "D" branches got the "D" in their own right. And Saul is proof that they don't all share a common ancestor. And just because Dragon knew a quote of Roger, he was related to him? Books of Roger's adventures and quotes were probably published by tons of people who knew or sailed with him. That line Dragon thought of was probably part of his last words, what he said before he told everyone about One Piece. They aren't related.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

i know not all the D`s are related, but you don`t know from where he heard those words. i can`t prove you wrong in this and you can`t prove me wrong, i choose to believe he heard those from Roger himself not at the execution.

How can you know the age gap between Dragon, Roger, and Blackbeard if we don't know their ages?

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I'm pretty sure Roger was in his 30's when he died, Dragon is in his 40's about, (he has a 20 year old son, this is obvious), and Blackbeard has been hanging around Whitebeard for a while, so he's probably also around in his 40's. Shanks seemed to imply that Blackbeard was a part of Whitebeard's crew even during Roger's time. And Garp being only in his 50's or 60's, I really can't see him having 3 such different kids. And besides, that age gap proof aside, which is rather faulty, I admit, Saul is STILL proof that the "D" lines are separate, with each "D" getting the letter in the right of his own ancestor, independent of the others. Unless the "Rulers of Raftel" theory is true, but that doesn't really explain that giants, which is why I don't agree with that theory and prefer my own.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Ace is 19 and Dragon can still be in his thirties. If in my imagination Dragon got married and had sex when he was around 14, then he will!

But now that you mention it, if Garp had three kids and two grand-kids that grew up to be pirates and revolutionaries, I'd think he'd either be

A) Driven out of his mind or
B) A really bad father.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

ace is 21... (3 years older than luffy, who's 18).

 

[Imitorar]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

^Luffy's 17, so Ace is 20. So sayeth the SBS from volume 4.

 

[Absolutio]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Oh.. damn.. Thought that he was 18, and zoro and sanji 19.. my bad..

 

[Impel Down]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

You're getting all your ages either one year older or one year younger, which is interesting, IMO.

But Usopp's also Luffy's age, right? And Nami's 19, not 18, also correct?

 

[Imitorar]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Dude, I just linked to the SBS where Oda says their ages. She's 18. Luffy is 17, Zoro and Sanji are 19, Nami's 18, Usopp's also 17, Robin's 28, and Franky's 34. Those are all from the SBS, except for Sanji, which is in a later SBS, and Robin's, which is either in an SBS, or mathematically derived from her backstory, and Franky's is mathematically calculated from his backstory, and confirmed by Oda in the SBS to volume 44, I think.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I just wanted you to feel under appreciated.

No, jk, I just didn't see it.

 

[Freakzin]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

since he was asked about the age of Luffy how many months has it been in the story of the manga??

 

[Absolutio]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

it has been discussed in earlier posts here. There was this french site that counted each and every day-night, and stuffs, and they got to the conclusion that it was 3 months, or something like that. (Which seems quite unreasonable), but don't forget that getting from island to island also takes time.

 

[Imitorar]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

In the thread about this in the Tree of Knowledge section, somebody said that they heard an interview with Oda or something, where they said it's been about 7 months so far since Romance Dawn. Which makes sense to me, since I would have guessed about 6 months myself. Three months would be more like after Drum Island. It's true, Oda has confirmed that they spend alot more time sailing between islands then he shows. They probably have fights, and raids on other ships, and all sorts of other things, but Oda doesn't bother showing them, because they'd take up too much time. But yeah, 7 months seems about right.

 

[Absolutio]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Yea.. 7 months sounds logical. Just think how strong they got in those 7 months! :O and compare it to Ace's strength, who's already 3 years+ a pirate, and under WB's leadership. I guess we can expect greatness from the SHs.

 

[Impel Down]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

It does seem to make sense that they'd been sailing for around seven months. I mean, they seem to get new clothes and moves and whatnot between arcs, so they must have a lot of down-time just on the ship.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

i always loved how the characters are themselves cosplayers at times. it gives everything a little fresh taste and to make things a little more interesting with Nami's uber sexy outfits.

7 months quite a nice time already. while rewatching the old episdoes, Don Krieg (the ape king of East blue) only lasted 7 days, i know it's a special case because it's Mihawk's doing, but the fact that the SH's have stood up against many fearsome opponents does mean that they're already at the level of the people who are at the grandline.

what only awaits them now is the new worlds. and i'm sure they'll continue on with their growth in strength and endurance. when you compare with ace who's been around for 3 years... i'm not sure if it can be said that he's had as much improvements and the SH crew. the main reason being the fact that his ability would totally spoil him and doesn't quite give him any incentive to train.

Although I remember luffy saying he couldn't beat Ace before in a fist fight, Ace certainly isn't as strong as he hoped to be because his physical attacks did not seem to be that effective on BB.

anyways, i don't know what i'm talking about anymore...

-end of rant ;p
