Discussion The Gecko Moria thread

[Impel Down]

Okay, couple things. If the body had eaten the Kage Kage no mi, and he was dead, how could the dead body have taken Moria's shadow and put it into himself? Makes no sense.

And I agree, Luffy fighting a giant would have been kinda lame. Now, against a large opponent, that's better. It made me respect Oda-sensei...again, not that I already didn't.

Exactly. There's no way he could be a zombie, because there's no way that his soul could be removed without him being dead somewhere in the process. And if he were dead, he wouldn't be able to finish transferring the soul. Upshot: There is no possible way that Moria is a zombie.

Well, I didn't say THAT. I was referring to drawings of Moria taking up too much page space, leaving not enough space for other things that move the plot more then a picture or two of Moria, and One Piece chapters would begin to have as much content in them as recent Bleach chapters, (Heaven forbid!) because too much space was being taken up by drawings that take up more space then they move the plot. How would Luffy fighting a giant be lame? I sorta liked Luffy vs. Broggy, for what it was worth. I don't think it would be lame at all for Luffy to fight a giant. It would've been a good chance to showcase Gear 3rd, at least, and even without that, it'd be an interesting fight. We haven't really seen a giant fight a Devil Fruit user. (Saul vs. Aokiji doesn't count, Saul was buying time, and it mostly consisted of him dying. That was slaughter, not a real fight. I think giants are at a disadvantage fighting Logia users, they can't dodge the elements, and their brute strength isn't of much use.)

 

[Impel Down]

In the fights with Gear 3rd, it mostly showed Luffy making the actions, a bunch of panels of the action, and then a screen shot to the result, except with Giganto Pistol, which showed the whole thing. But, that's just fine, because it was bad-ass.

 

[Absolutio]

SO! I guess no one saw that coming! (Or did someone see that coming? ) - Power Ranger Moria controlling his huge Megazord (or is it megazoid?) Ozz. And he really is a lazy bum! Just sitting there, and controlling his robot... Same with his shadow-clone! Can he even fight by himself?! :@

 

[Impel Down]

He's a very large man. I imagine he can deal out some heavy damage himself. And he's controlling Doppelman, so it's like he's fighting, I guess.

And Oz being a robot is kick-ass.

 

[Freakzin]

i just realized Moria looks like Penguin from batman

edit: a crap i meant Hogback

 

[hollowfied]

Moria is a joke.

Hes gonna get pawn't now. Hopefully this arc ends soon..I never really liked the Thriller Bark arc.

 

[Absolutio]

I, for one, really really like this arc.. =D Brooke is awesome, and there are so many unexpeced things (such as Kuma's arrival).

 

[Impel Down]

This is a great arc, although I admit that I'd like it to move on soon...maybe if Brook got a fight, I'd think differently.

But I agree with Absolutio, the main reason this arc is great is Brook.

 

[Imitorar]

I am sure that this arc won't last for more then 10 more chapters. And that's a maximum. I think 6 might do. But I like this arc, Brook or not. It's just a very interesting, creative idea, and when Oda-sensei has those kinds of ideas, good arcs happen. And it's been interesting from a character development perspective too. Zoro and Chopper had some development, and there was some getting familiar with Franky, Ussop got to show how far he has progressed (and the reappearance of Sogeking!) and there was some establishment of character for other Straw Hats too. A good arc, I'd say. Easily on par with the rest of the awesomely good arcs. Though of course, Brook helps.

 

[Impel Down]

10 more, yeah, that seems like enough breathing room. But this arc would need some interesting closure if they're going to get back all the shadows, taken down/escape from two Shichibukai and their forces, have a new nakama join, and escape in their ship.

But Oda-sensei will pull it off, I'm sure. Hell, maybe Laboon will come and destroy TB.

 

[Imitorar]

Hell, maybe Laboon will come and destroy TB would freeze over before what you wrote happened happened.

That would be all sorts of awesome, but no. Laboon is too big to enter the Grand Line, that was why they left him behind. And Crocus would never take him anyway. And that would be making the fulfillment of Brook's dream to easy. He has to chase his dream and make himself go to it, not have it go to him.

P.S. I'm sure you were just joking, but I couldn't resist using the strike-through thing. Sorry if that was a bit immature of me.

[Absolutio]

first of all, laboon stayed behind because they were scared he'll get hurt, if i remember correctly. He was kind of small back then..

And on toppic, I just realized that we don't even know what type of Moria's DF is - it might even be a logia, and not necessarily peremycia as i'm sure most of us thought it is.

EDIT: Oh.. nvm about that.. forgot about Luffy being able to kick him.. Guess he's a peremycia type after all..

 

[Impel Down]

Yeah, I didn't think Laboon would really come, it was more of a joke, although if it DID happen, I would be happy inside...and outside.

And Moria is a Paramiciea DF. He cannot turn into a shadow.

 

[Imitorar]

[dream]But wouldn't it be just AWESOME if he could?[/dream]

 

[Impel Down]

[reality] No, because then Luffy would lose[/reality]

 

[DutchPhoenix]

i think moria might could suprise u guys, since he HAS a bounty of 320m

 

[Impel Down]

I don't think he'll "surprise" me, since I've already accepted that he's powerful. We've just seen very little of his power, but of what we've seen, he has an unstoppable wall in front of him at all times that can crush people, as well as turn itself into various other objects that can attack an opponent.

 

[hollowfied]

Gecko Moria is overshadowed by Lucci and even Sir Crocodile...

I mean, Luffy doesn't seem to be having a tough time at all =\

the sunlight timing is compare able with the bomb in alabasta...
