He is alive just like Batman at the end of Rises.

There is the plot-hole with Crocodile seeing Mr. 3 body floating on water, while it should have drowned sunk. Oda has kinda of admitted this already...

Before timeskip: Chopper has to use 1 rumble ball to normal transform & 3 for monster point
After timeskip: Chopper has to use 0 rumble ball to normal transform & 1 for monster point

he trained and got better in those 2 years :)
I don't know if I'm interpreting your answer wrongly or if your answer is incomplete, but before Time Skip Chopper coul transform into 3 froms at will, without rumble balls. With one rumle ball he had 4 additional forms: guard point, jumping point, horn point and Arm point.
With 2 rumble balls he would lose control of his transformation and with 3 he would transform into the ultimate zoan form "Monster point".

Since, unlike other mangas, One Piece doesn't have too many errors in the storyline, it shouldn't be hard to list all flaws. :mono

===//===//===

Moriah's zombies: during the battle in Marineford, Moriah took the shadows of several marines to place in buried zombies. However the marines whose shadows were taken didn't die in the sunlight as expected. Plus it was early estabilished that his devil fruit doesn't create zombies, but these bodies are made by Hogback, while they were standing on the sea frozen by Aokiji (also the salt in the water would purify the zombies).

Chopper rumble ball: In chapter 605 Chopper ate a rumble ball to transform in guard point. However it was later estabilished that he doesn't require a rumble ball anymore to transform, except for monster point.
IIRC Oda said in an SBS that Chopper ate candy and not a rumble ball.

an interesting fact about what many consider a One Piece plot hole about how Pell survived the bomb blast at the end of Alabasta Civil War ...

Pell's devil fruit ability is Tori Tori no Mi (Model : Peregrine Falcon) .. and his epithet is Pell The Falcon (Hayabusa no Peru) and also known as the strongest fighter in all of Alabasta

and now for the real world facts ...

The Peregrine is renowned for its speed, reaching over 322 km/h (200 mph) during its characteristic hunting stoop (high speed dive), making it the fastest member of the animal kingdom.
According to a National Geographic TV programme, the highest measured speed of a Peregrine Falcon is 389 km/h (242 mph)
Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peregrine_Falcon) & (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_birds_by_flight_speed)

this is how Pell survived that huge blast ... i hope this is shared to others also ...

while they were standing on the sea frozen by Aokiji (also the salt in the water would purify the zombies).
That is hardly a plothole. Ocean water usually has around 3,5% salt and sea ice less than 10% of that (around 0,3% salt), which is not part of the crystalline structure of the ice, but trapped inside of the ice. We saw with Oars, that the amount of ice plays a role... and the zombies are standing on the ice (probably/hopefully with shoes, otherwise the skin of their feet would probably stick to the ice) and aren't ingesting it...

-Kizaru being able to destroy the key of Ace's handcuffs while fighting WB but failing to shoot down Law's ship
-Kizaru going after the key instead of Luffy's head with his laser. I mean what is the more difficult target? A key or a head?
-WB taking everything easy until Ace gets killed. I mean his crewmates were being murdered left and right but he only cares about Ace. What the hell?
-Law aiding Luffy. But this will most likely get explained as the story unfolds.
-Shiliew joining BB even though it should have been the first time they met each other.
- WB not using CoC haki to knock out the fodder soldiers to reduce the enemy's number.

6 points and not 1 is an actual plot hole.

  • Keys could very well be made out of different material and likely are. Missing the shop was plot convenience, happened before, happened again later.
  • Again plot convenience to make it more exciting, why muder Garps grandson like that?
  • He cared for all of his kids, he and everyone else knew that their would be many casualities on their own side. Creading tsunami waves wasn't serious enough? He also wasn't able to break the wapometal and had to wait for Oars Jr to open up theirway.
  • Was already explained, he gave his reasoning right there, as he found him interesting and now some more when he was interrogated by Doffy.
  • What have you been reading all those years? OP is full of people joining others after only one meeting. It was the same situation for Zoro...
  • Whitebeard was never confirmed to have CoC or control over it.

-Whitebird does have Kings haki. Here the proof:

Maybe you missed it cause mangastream and mangapanda translated the first page of chapter 570 wrong.

-( Shilliew)It is difference that someone who hates and enjoys killing pirates then joins a pirate crew.

- Why does Oda let things get there. I mean he could easily have avoided it by not making Kizaru shooting lasers at all at the scafford.

He loves killing, joining up with Teach allows him to kill anyone that they meet up. He obviously will mostly kill pirates as they take over pirate territories.

Oda simply increased the tension by destroying the keys. Not sure why you keep harping on that part.

And wasn't Luffy shot by him once IIRC.

Admirals should fullfill their duty's. Besides Aokoji who wasn't really eager to kill Luffy cause of Garp I don't understand why Kizaru didn't do it when he had more than one chance doing it. I mean kill Luffy and the war would be as good as over. Anyone else besides Luffy who would have made it to the scaffold would have been trashed by Garp. And they said that Luffy isn't allowed to leave the war alive. It seems like the only Admiral who was fullfilling his duty at that time was Akainu.
But maybe it was due to Kiazaru being a crefree guy who doesn't care at all.

And whole paragraph only to come up with the answer yourself... Kizaru has never show to act differently since his first introduction. He certainly can act lethal, but often does not look for the killing strike.

This is more of an inconsistency than a plot hole but it really bothered me.

Just why in the world did Usopp and the dwarves abandon their plan to make Sugar eat the tatababasco sauce?! That made no sense...at all.

The Supernovas gathered in Shabondy to coat their ships so they could go to Fishman Island.

But Law has a submarine. :huh
Shakky said all roads from paradise leads to shabondy before branching out again into the New world. I don't think they were all going there to coat, its just like a checkpoint sort of. Everyone has to pass through there to get into the New world. Also I believe the depths of fishman island were more than a submarine could take. IIRC Franky and Nami mentioned this while they were trying to figure out how to get to fishman before they met the mermaid chick (can't remember her name).

Did they abadon it? I don't think so. IIRC, Leo was gonna do it, then robin stopped him because she said Trebol's accuracy in shooting down a fly, then she got trebol away while the dwarves tried to force sugar to eat it. Sugar turned some of then into toys, they fought each other, trebol got back and Knocked them out. Robin intervened and tried to hold sugar down with fleur while Leo was to put the grape in her mouth. Sugar changed robin as well, then trebol beat them up again. Usopp ran away, came back, got his ass kicked by trebol and sugar (having picked up the grape) fed it to him outta spite, then he screamed (because of the grape) and she fainted.

So they didn't abadon it. They just couldn't execute it.

They abandoned it.

Right after Robin lured Trebol away, they switched strategy from 'make Sugar eat the fake grape' to 'charge right at her' instead. I dunno whose bright idea that was but it was dumb. The only hitch in their original plan was Trebol and Robin took care of it so operation 'make Sugar eat the fake grape' was still good to go.

Of course things worked out in the end but there was still no reason to make life more difficult for themselves by ditching what was a perfectly good plan for no real reason.

Oh that. I understand. I guess they thought she was just a kid and they had to hurry before trebol got back. They just decided to be more aggressive about it. But wasn't their endgame still to get them to eat the grape, albeit forcefully?

It was but forgoing the risk-free option of planting it in Sugar's grape basket is a bit silly to me.
