The story will not be finished until we saw them together again. Usopp getting fat is obviously a joke he won't stay like that. When we have seen all of them that will only make 10 chapter for the current arc, that is few given what we have seen so far so either there is a second round of cover story, either they will have dedicated chapters

I mean how many chapters are left? It's been shown, Sanji, Robin, Ussop, Franky, Chopper. So we still need to see Zoro, Nami, Brooke, that's just like 6 chapters away. Or 7/8 if you consider color spreads. So I guess the cover stories will be completed with all of them, cause let's take Bleach for an example. (not comparing, hate this crap): You can have 8 chapters in a War kinda place, and just explore the abilities and the fights. I think we could still have like 8 chapters before the SH's cover stories are completed, then they could appear I don't know..

Re: One Piece 555 Discussion/556 Predictions Thread

i forgot this...............in that link he said cyborg franky, tour power is just that. seems like at that moment he knew franky had to get stronger, and thus is why he sent him to vegapunks home island, as well as the other strawhats.
Franky should evolve at least at Pacifista level cause after this arc and possibly the next...fighters like Luffy,Zoro and Sanji will be on another whole level!!

I do also expect him to be able to incorporate the knowledge of vegapunk past researches on him or even manipulate it to be more powerful. but still, that is past researches, he has to do a lot of work

Ofcoars Franky will eventually have to evolve to that level, but U can't ask Oda to, in just a week), give Franky a powerup to a level that a weak earlier needed both LuffyZorroSanji to beat with their strongest attacks... Not? But he will have to get stronger. Personally, I await Brook's evolution, he has a very promessing DF. But i predict it will be long before we'll see them again during a chapter...

Re: One Piece 555 Discussion/556 Predictions Thread

i can dig that............i think all the strawhats a due 2 more powerups including this one. i can see franky being that strong. i cant wait to see what sengoku and garp can do.
franky wasn't shown for long on the cover stories. i assumed back then that he will probably find an old workshop of vegapunk. i would like to see his new weapons and body. i find it kinda sadly that he almost never uses his laser. a laser shoot out between him and a pacifista would be cool.

oops, akainu. sorry, too late. ^^

Nami was seen flying around in a balloon on sky island, robin was rescued by dragon's raiders, franky found what he is looking for on that island. Those three are done with their side adventures and will return first. The rest are stranded or recuperating still. We will not see the full crew back together for a while.

Nami's not done yet, she only had one coverstory page so far and it's allways been two so far. Also, it's only the swordsmen left after that and with a max. plus of two weeks (one colour and one pause) it's only seven weeks until these series are done :o

Re: Debating: is Kuma with the Revolution Army or not?

Still, Sanji's case is bothering, I hope he won't become an Okama, but for 80% of the crew it is obviously fitting.


__________________
What does sanji fight with? his legs
What will he be doing most of his time with the okama? running away
Hmmm i wonder how that could make him stronger

I've been wondering. What if Kuma didn't send them anywhere? What if the strawhats sent themselves?

Before sending Perona flying Kuma said "If you're going on a trip, where would you like to go?" what if he wasn't being facetious? What if the person being sent is really in control of the destination? Rather than simply knowing somehow where all the of the strawhats needed to be to get stronger what if the thought on every strawhats mind after they were launched was "I wish I was stronger, I want to get stronger" and that lead them to places where that was possible. Maybe Kuma helped them reject their surroundings...

Interesting no?

lol but then sanji would ahve joined luffy

or was his caring for his male crew members combined with his love of women which brought him to okama island

maybe not sure i your theory could work
not all the places look like it would make the crew stronger

True True, just a thought I had.

And about Sanji........its not that he's an Okama, he just...has a maidens heart.

I really think somehow Kuma must have had some deeper knowledge of the SH. Sanji is hopefully not an Okama, but even moreso I hope he will lose his inability to attack women. He should still be a hopeless romantic, but not to the detriment of his fighting ability and crew.

Just a thought but maybe sending the Sh where he did was his last "task" as "tyrant Kuma". Possibly as a directive from the revolutionaries....
HMM??

Sanji will never hit a woman, just as Ussop will always be the weakest. Thats just how it will always be. Oda enjoys the handicaps, it helps im with his battle schemes.Keeps things interesting.

I don't want the archetypes of the SH to change, but as the SH progress into the NW they will have to step up and continue to evolve. Up til now the stakes have risen step by step. If this is to continue not only will the SH need more power and ability, but maturity. So I guess we see it differently. I guess we have to see what Oda truly has in store..

But agreed if any of the SH were to rapidly change it would be shocking.

You know, i just thought about it why a few of the members are there that i didnt mention in my previous post.

Luffy - Even though the story revolves around him, luffy just needs to get STRONGER to protect his crew in the new world. Kuma was somehow aware of luffy's un-mastered haki, and preferred him to learn it from another whom already mastered the same haki type. Although at one point Blackbeard admired during luffy's gear 2nd battle his impressive haki, it's still not good enough. Infusing a mastered haki + gear 2 or 3 will have more powerful results. 20 points to kuma

Franky - This one is quite easy to figure out, after realizing there's an android now made from stronger material, franky needs to CONSTRUCT better and stronger. Hopefully by paying a visit to vegapunk's old house, he can achieve better knowledge of construction. Who knows, maybe he can rebuild a majority of his body using the same material from Kuma's design. In addition, learn secrets revolving around seastone. C'mon guys, if franky in the past was walking around at one time with the blueprints to reconstruct the pluton, imagine what else he can do with just an opportunity to learn more. Do your best pantyman! 10++ points for Kuma

Sanji - That running from those men are good training for his legs. Sanji already has speed, he just needs better FOOTWORK. Sanji is also a flirt machine, he needs to worry about the number of zeros in his bounty than the number of women he thinks he will get. 10 points to kuma

Usopp - It's extremely obvious, BRAVERY. Knowing usopp, he has very little of it. Eating fruits that are capable to eat him is a start mr lying long nose. One day when he meets Yasop again in the new world, Usopp needs to show him and the rest of the New World that the coward days are over. Remember Luffy vs Usopp? we need more of that type of bravery. 10 points to kuma

Robin - Apparently she is the ANTI-SOCIAL person of the group. In most of the group shots she is sometimes the only person not smiling. Where she is at now, she needs to learn to put her troubled past aside and understand that she needs to fully open up more. Being exposed to the horrors of slavery everyday life should do it. At least Robin has the opportunity to sail seas and visit many islands. 10 points to kuma

Nami - Well this is an easy one, Nami's current ATTACK AND NAVIGATION skills aren't enough. While staying at an island Blackbeard himself at one point thought was a legend, Nami now has the chance to learn attacks and think like a scientist now in navigation using "weather movements" and not a silly compass. Reference: Some sailors in the past times relied on the North Star to help determine where they were.
10 points for kuma


Brook - Im still quite unsure about this one but this is a wild guess. Apparently Brook can sing people to sleep, how about sing them to death? I think it will focus on playing MUSIC for even more deadly purposes. just a wild guess.
10 points for kuma


Zoro - Out of all the crew members minus luffy, i highly feel zoro should learn haki. In the meantime zoro can train by cutting up ghosts. Zoro can pretend these ghosts are different types of logia users that are untouchable. Being able to stop an untouchable enemy is one step forward in better a better SWORDSMAN.

Chopper - I need more info.


In the end, i dont really know how in the world kuma figured out each SW crew member's personal traits, but i dont think it was an accident either. It's like Dragon had an anonymous meeting with Kuma to tell him to perform such a risky task.

She needs a child who has nothing to open her eyes more. 10 points to kuma

Nami - Well this is an easy one, Nami's current attack list aren't enough.

10 stars for kuma
i agree with everyone except for robin and sanji. i think sanji may learn some modified okama kenpo techs. i dont think robin can become stronger. i think since she is with the revoluniary army, she will make importany connections for the strawhats in the future

Has anyone figured out the location of Zoro?

I believe he's in Mihawk's homeland! Dracule (or Dracula?) Mihawk. It looks like a misty, Transelvania type country with the castle and all. Plus there's the large cross.

So the reason now seems a bit more obvious for sending him THERE (rather than sending him to who). Perhaps he's going to have to fight something that Mihawk fought that will help him become stronger (see the giant creature with a sword on chapter 560 cover).

As for why Perona is there, I suspected that he will have to improve his spirit to the point of overcoming even the negative ghosts, and then defeat his enemies.

About Sanji : I do not agree about the Okama tempo stuff, or at least it's only one reason.

I have another one : Sanji's thinking.

He venerates women, whoever they are, but maybe he never respect them for what they truly are. He was sent in an island of MEN with an heart of WOMAN/GIRL, they are girls inside them. If Sanji understand what is a real woman, he would be able, for the first time of his life, to fight women.

In the new world he'll surely met women who are not girly (or girl inside them) at all and very bad, and he'll be able to, defend himself or fight them for the sake of his crew unlike before. :amuse

Sanji will learn somthing about Okama kempo
Just look here http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/543/01/ you can see Ivankov in the left.
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/543/07/ and here we see Ivankov really knows how to kick.
But i really hope Sanji wont loose that perv attitude of his ... I just miss that Nami-swaaaan :D
Chopper i think he must have enough will power to control monster point.. its something like when luffy took those shadows and he could still handle them.
Usopp i dont think he did eat a devil fruit but maybe food there is rich in proteins so he will have to work hard to become normal again and that means more muscles ^^ . And oda didnt introduce heracles for nothing he will teach or at least give usopp an hint about how make a better use of ranged weapons. And this is also a test of bravery for him.
But he will still be the weakest among the SH.
I'm looking forward for the day when Usopp will be able to take on guys like BB's sniper or that guy from the filler in anime in longuetown.
Robin Well.. i agree with chess4 here
ZoroI hope he will learn to cut things like then in alabasta so he will cut through px's like they were nothing.
Brook Will compose a song the will make people show their panties :D :D :D
Franky He will shoot BEEAAAAMS


I hope all of them reunite together at the same time.. I'd love to see them all aproaching from different ways Reyleight's house .. And then each of them telling their own adventures. Anyway this will happen in the best cast in January.
