One Piece Mega Convo Thread

[electricmastro]

Still kinda weird to see One Piece getting a remake when there is an anime ongoing but it looks good. I wonder how far they will go.

It’s getting harder to defend the anime’s length when recommending the anime to people. This can finally be the start of shutting up all those “too long” complaints once and for all.

Oh, I wasn't offended or anything. I honestly was just bored and thought your comment was funny, although a bit "sus". I like their dynamics too. It's just people who are like: "Oh no, he's/she's too strong. They shouldn't join because power hierarchy will be ruined." annoy me. I don't give a crap about that, I like seeing some new relations and interactions between members. That's why I like soo much the idea that Loki should join somehow. I know how Strawhats are, you know it, everyone know it, so since Loki was through some shit (just like every single Strawhat member) I think being around them would be beneficial for him. You know, because they don't judge and can accept just about anyone as long as they aren't straight up evil. And Loki isn't evil, he's just like Megamind (I once heard that comparison somewhere): soo villainized ever since he was born that he had no other choice than just accept it even though it's not really him. So yeah, if we ignore his size and mayby power level he would fit right in among the Strawhats.

I suppose. That being said, I couldn’t see Loki being that devoted to Luffy in the long-term. Yamato seems more willing to be devoted than him.

Maybe but that depends on how Elbaf will end. Loki may be rather unruly but since he still have certain sense of duty I think he could decide to follow Luffy in one way or another to pay back for helping.

It's good for newcomers to OP universe IMO, but at least ppl will not expect a "Two Piece" due the lenght of original series.

Ok, Amazon Lily made me realise that Gloriosa is soo fricking overdramatic about "love sickness". Also now that I know Shakky backstory I'm completly sure Gloriosa was envy of her if she said "she died" of love sickness. Well she didn't, she just happily married man she loved while you were throwing yourself at guy who wasn't interested. I honestly feel like Hancock may end up like her due to fact that Luffy isn't interested and she will have to survive being in one sided relationship with him. Knowing how mean she was to her elder it would be hilarious if she would end up disrespected by new Empress that may rise once Hancock won't be pretty enough to keep the title. Or if she decide to resign to chase after Luffy who only see her as friend. Btw, I'd rather see Luffy showing any interest toward ANY girl that is nice, strong and isn't absolutly disgusted by very existance of a man. I understand her reasons but damn, at least fact that she was saved by man (and not just any man but fishman who apparently didn't liked humans) should let her think that not every single man in the world is evil.
Well sorry, this turned into rant about Hancock and how much I don't what to have her anywhere near Luffy. But yeah, I would rather see him with Margaret than Hancock. Their connection seemed much more genuine. Also fact that S-snake instantly fell for Luffy just because Hancock did so too kinda took away any reasoning from it. Hancock fell for him because he's bold enough to execute justice even when the opponent is "untouchable". But S-snake makes it look like Hancocks type is just utterly uninterested idiot. I don't know, that's just SOO DUMB.

i remember it being a big deal the week of but it's been pretty glossed over with the *gestures wildly at everything*, but about Chopper's accidental purification of the domi reversi'd giants- so that definitely was him accessing part of his awakening right? oda joked in an SBS question about a human eating the human human fruit and how it'd 'enlighten' them, but it'd absolutely make sense for chopper's awakening to be a regaining of a sense of self, of personhood, of agency, the things we associate with humanity (Imu calls it "reason")- which domi reversi strips away and inverses. big ups for all the people saying BB was in Drum looking for Chopper's fruit (cheekily referenced by Oda with Ussop saying nobody would hunt for Chopper's fruit).

at this point i NEED to see Chopper's True Awakening with the hagoromo and everything. it's going to be such an incredible moment for such an under-served character.

this really adds a level of cruel irony to Chopper being a prize in the Davy Back Fight with Foxy. If Rocks (Davy) had access to Chopper's fruit, things may have gone differently

Interesting. Where could you see him playing out after these next several chapters?

Realisticly?, Strawhat fleet. Wishful thinking?, The crew. Like seriously, there never was even one person who didn't wanted to pay Strawhats back for helping them and since Loki actually really love his country I don't think he will be diffrent.

And where does Yamato fit in that?

Fleet. I honestly don't like her as Strawhat. Btw, she's basicaly already builded something like crew with Page One and Ulti joining her and I don't think she can take those two and rest of her eventual followers and join the Strawhats with them. With Loki it's still possible to join because it seems like he's alone, unless guards that were sailing with him are still out there waiting. If Yamato WILL join then that's fine too, Luffy crew is actually pretty tiny compared to all big shots we encountered in past so 1 or 2 new members joining before great war isn't big deal. Even Shanks have few random no names fighting alongside his star crew mates. I'm not saying Yamato or Loki would be in that category if both of them would join, it's actually opposite. Luffy having such big shots (quite literally in Lokis case, lol) would rise Strawhats to same rank as Xebecs crew that was full of infamous legends including both Big Mom, Whitebeard and Kaido. And also could rival Blackbeards crew with no problems, though compared to crew of his daddy Blackbeards is bit mismatched bootleg. Espesially "the big guy" who is just regular giant who ate huge huge fruit clearly to mimic power of ancient giant.

 

[Tonix]

I’d like to see Yamato join the crew to fulfill her Oden dream and I think Zoro and Sanji are finally getting to the power level where she wouldn’t overshadow them.

Loki is way too strong to join right now, and like, he’s literally too big. I think he will probably take up his rightful place as king of Elbaf but still join in on the final fight against the WG. Maybe he could take over the new giant pirate crew, but that would be cucking Haj super hard.

Yamato wants to fulfill Oden's business and Luffy had enough trouble as it is trying to beat everyone at Egghead since he was unable to defeat everyone there, including the Elders. There are currently only two Conqueror's users on the crew, far less than what Rocks had and he still couldn't beat Imu. So there's plenty reason to gain for Yamato joining any way one looks at it. Loki as well, since he also has Conqueror's, assuming his views end up aligning with Luffy's.

Heeey. So, I had tiny flash of genius and came up with theory. What if under Luffys control Nika fruit goes through diffrent stages of awakening? That idea come to me because now that Luffy can go G5 and everyone talk about how "cloud scarf" is sign of awakening it feels weird that Luffy had that scarf even in G4 form. Sure, it was barely a mist but it still looked similar to the one Luffy have now in his "free" form. So I figured out that on his way of learning how to use his fruit Luffy unknowingly awakens Nika fruit stage by stage: first one was G4 where he had "misty scarf", second is G5 where he have "cloud scarf" and then there will be last stage where he will have full halo like Imu or Zaza. I don't remember how it was with Sengoku and if he also had scarf since he's zoan too but I'm about to know in day or two because I'm going through Marineford now. Anyway, it seems like scarfs are exclusively zoan thing. If Sengoku also have one then it seems on top of fact that he is model Budda and deity scarf feels like natural thing his fruit must be awakened too. If zoans only have scarfs after SUCCESSFUL awakening (nobody would want to end up like those zoan guards in Impel Down, lol) that Luffy could be awakened for long time. At least partialy, I mean.

 

[HereNThere]

I'm pretty certain that the "cloud scarf" wasn't any direct indicator of Awakening proficency and just a design choice that Oda used based on some deities.

Enel had a similar scarf in his super form all those years back and that form was also a direct reference to a Japanese lightning god. Sengoku's specific Buddah lacks the scarf because his specific deity doesn't appear to have a scarf/halo/etc in its depictions in the first place. At least, not that I've seen.

However, I think he changed his mind and used it to differentiate Awakened zoans later on since the Impel Down ones were probably not as unique, just not fun to base future Awakened forms on, or just flat out indescript compared to base zoan forms.

During my rewatch I actually noticed tiny detail about ancient giants which is kinda fun to me. All ancient giants seem to share one trait: all of them have heads full of glorious curls. Well, not EXACTLY curls but what I mean is they have them long and thick but mostly pretty bushy. Loki also have that trait, though his hair seem softer and less messy somehow. Guess his followers took good care of him even in that regard, ayy?. Oh, and Harald could also have that type of hair if he didn't shaved them.

My theory is Luffy will fight Shanks before Blackbeard or Imu to upgrade his Haki, like when he fought Katakuri.

An idea I've had for a while now.... Conqueror haki is a way for the the genuinely powerful to deal with god knights and gorosei. But it makes basically no sense for anyone other than zoro and sanji to get it among the strawhats (yamato has it but I don't expect her to join the strawhats as a full time member). Which leaves jinbe, franky, robin, brook, ussop, nami, and chopper kinda shit out of luck in the battle against the strongest enemies in the world government. Which is in turn a weird scenario. Of course it's possible to deal with god knights in other ways such as chopping them to pieces or throwing them into the ocean if they have devil fruits but pulling this off is a somewhat massive feat considering even gunko could deal with someone like jinbe with ease. One of Imu's abilities gave me an idea though... We saw how imu's omen is able to substantially empower his knights. So now I wonder... perhaps there's a white version of this that luffy can use on his allies? We know awakening allows one to extend his abilities beyond his body. So... could luffy use his awakening to turn his crew into cartoons? If the fruit has some capability to counter omen and his subordinates can use it then it could breach the gap.

Heeey so, Aces death still hurt. Like A LOT, though it numbed a little because I'm older than when I watched it first time. It's just such a shame that soo much efforts went to waste because Ace couldn't ignore one volcanic jerk. He knew exactly what he was doing though I still have no clue how. Was Aces short temper THAT famous?

Also now I realised that "newbies" Blackbeard broke out of Impel Down are actually super random. But it's probably because they were erased from public knowledge and only rumors were spreading between pirats which could be how Blackbeard even knew about their existance. And yeah, Blackbeards appearance in Marineford only cemented my opinion that Blackbeard Pirats are bootleg Xebec Pirats. There's Devon instead of Big Mom, Vasco Shot instead of Captain John, Sanjuan Wolf in place of Barbel (honorable mention for Harald who kept refusing to join Xebec) Shiryu instead of Marlon ect. And now he also have Caribou who have same slipery, nasty vibe as that Ochoku guy from Xebecs crew. BB really try soo hard to recreate his daddy crew and follow in his foot steps. Though I don't think his dad had same goal his sonny boy have in his mind right now.

Oh and Sakazuki is TRASH, slightly smaller than Blackbeard but still. Seriously, it's easy for people like him to follow WGs "dark justice" only because its consequences dosen't touch them just yet. Kizaru did what he had but fell apart right after because he killed his friend. Kuzan turned to piracy and now sail under traitorous dirtbag around which he always have to watch his back just in case because he lost faith in justice. Garp buried his bonus grandson, watched his actual grandson almost getting killed and now he's in Blackbeards hands because he just can't allow himself to lose any young talent.
Ehh, I actually wonder if at some point Sakazuki will also have to take a hit in the name of "dark justice" and that will be some turning point for him or he will keep stubbornly repeating that it was necessary in the name of peace.

I can't wait for Brook's awakening back to flesh. And interesting reading chapter 1125, I bet the maker of Bink's Sake knows about the Gorosei's ability to die either by Imu or other means and that is what the turn to bones part really is. Hidden because it sounds like regular death.

 

[kkck]

Hmm, i wonder if perhaps brook can save shuri by possessing her. Get in there, kick a demons ass, get back home in time to ask nami for her panties.
