You just have to color her whole jawline and it will look fine, :P

 

[Crude]

I was just wondering, has Funimation released or plans to release any of the One Piece movies? I know I'd love to own a movie 6 blu-ray!

Is there anywhere online to read a scanlated copy of the Volume 1000 thing included with Film Z tickets?

 

[Sachsenhesse]

so guys... i thought about a nice prediction...

madame shirley did say that a man with a strawhat will destroy fishman island... just because we already passed FI for now doesnt mean that this prediction will not come true after all(even said by camie), but what does that mean?

i think it will start with:

- Luffy giving Shanks his strawhat back or luffy will loose his strawhat to one of the emperors, who then will destroy FI for punishing luffy and to state "dont fuck with me boy"

so or so, i think FI will be destroyed in the future and that the men who does this is not luffy, but wears his strawhat

Why such a literal interpretation? The idiom "by his hands" conveys responsibility for an action, nothing more. It does not have to mean Luffy (or another pirate with a straw hat) is directly involved in the destruction of Fishman Island, only that his actions are responsible (directly, or indirectly) for the island's destruction. For example:

Eavesdropping on Neptune, Caribou discovered Shirahoshi's true identity was the ancient weapon Poseidon. He has since escaped Fishman Island. If Caribou sells this information to the wrong person, it could lead to the invasion of Fishman Island. Even if the invasion is repulsed, much of the island could be left in ruins. Luffy was responsible for bringing Caribou to Fishman Island in the first place, thus his arrival instated a chain of events that led to the destruction of Fishman Island.

Caribou is now on the Winter Island Drake attacked, the one favored by Kaido. Kaido is the Yonkou Luffy and Law are planning to defeat. More than a coincidence, maybe?

 

[Mr. Arashi]

What Drake did on that island is making hold on a thread the destiny of Gyojin isle. Whether drop off Kaidou's forces or not, is really what is supposed to get a better plot to us.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but, I have a question about Thatch and the Yami Yami no Mi; was it ever implicitly stated in the manga that Blackbeard killed Thatch before he ate the Yami Yami no Mi? I'm trying to figure out if Oda may have been foreshadowing Blackbeard's ability to absorb a DF from a dead body. It could explain why the one of the Whitebeard commanders didn't seem super surprised by Blackbeard absorbing Whitebeard's fruit. I think it was Marco who said something about Blackbeard's weird body during the Marineford War.

Hmmm now that you said it, no... But Ace did say this : " And then, you killed him and took it? ", personally, I believe he took it before Thatch ate it, because I think the way BB got his hand on the Gura Gura no Mi was thanks to the Yami Yami no Mi, I don't think he wanted that DF purely for his ability to negate other DFs, but that's just my opinion on the matter

There was an ample discussion about that back than. Fukaboshi plead to Luffy to bring FI back to zero and he actually did. He destroyed the old circle of hate between humans and fishman, while also enabling a change through the upcoming reverie. That lead to the stop of the old segregation of Fishman and Mareman, Neptune forced them to abandon the Fishmen District, all in all that's a literal destruction of the old to enable them to create a new Fishman Island.

I like that explanation. Even if it does not come true, I think it will be better than whatever shounentastic explanation we do get. Destruction in the societal sense, rather than physical, would also fit into the whole true history dynamic.

But there's still the possibility that BM will be pissed off enough to destroy FI, if she opens the Tamatebako
Shit the reason everything is confusing me at this point is because of that single point...

 

[Kaiten]

I forgot about that. Luffy sent her the Tamatebako with his treasure. The Tamatebako blows up, Mam attacks Fishman Island. Another way Luffy could be responsible for the destruction of Fishman Island. A little roundabout, but possible. Eating all that candy in the first place, and angering Mam, also could be how he destroyed Fishman Island with his own hands.

While Big Mom is arriving to island, Kaido is making his move to catch Shirahoshi, then Pekkoms or that long legged guy eavesdrop the reason why Kaido is in the island and we have Charlotte and Kaido fighting to take on Poseidon. Sure is romantic, isn't it?

 

[UnknownMugiwara]

I wouldn't be mad if we got a Big Mam vs Kaido fight on Fishman Island :-P

Also, shouldn't we get a new volume cover soon? the volume get released in february, right?

 

[ukimix]

The true and the real reason why we are now in the midle of all this mess is that Luffy thought that 30% is a huge amount of chances to win...

I would not be surprised if Luffy did not even understand what Law was talking about.

 

[Schabrak]

I think he does understand percents from his childhood, when he had to share with his "brothers". He would have said yes, even if Law had said 0% right now. Obstacles are there for him to be vanquished and he knows that the Yonkou are the next stepping stown towards becoming pirate king.
