Shame about this arc

[pulsar path]

I won't lie I did hate him till like years after I started reading

[sharp granite]

LOL WHY

i always liked him

he was the every man

[pulsar path]

I was a teen who only liked cool edgy crap idk lol

[sharp granite]

he already started growing as a character by arlong park

and again in little garden, drum, and a big step in alabasta

lol

zoro still my fave tho

[pulsar path]

Usopp was what brought me back permanently to one piece as a super fan

[olive sun]

Whole shelf to show the size

[sharp granite]

wow

how much was that

great gift

[olive sun]

Christmas gift

[sharp granite]

damn

musty have been expensive

[olive sun]

I think he got it for 60 from some sketchy reseller site

[pulsar path]

Okay that's a usopp statue

[olive sun]

Can't believe it actually arrived I was sure he was scammed

[sharp granite]

LOL

[pulsar path]

Thats gotta be a good ass price

[olive sun]

Just googled and got one price for 300 and another for 700

Lol

It must have been limited stock

[urban kiln]

its probably limited so would be hard to find what it was MSRP

[olive sun]

I wish I knew about the brook one

[pulsar path]

I feel like that's a whole business right there reselling years later or month even

[pulsar path]

Looks more like a dark souls boss lol

[olive sun]

The girls are gooner bait

[hot cairn]

I want to buy all the box sets too, they’re mad expensive

[digital spear]

Who makes those aura ass figures

[olive sun]

Some Chinese studio

One Piece: Strange Forest Adventure

[urban kiln]

Nami's looks like an AI created animal lowkey

[hot cairn]

surreal that we’re actually getting another Brook flashback

[urban kiln]

ok Luffy's too

lol

[olive sun]

Just cuz it's a monkey doesn't make it ai

[urban kiln]

nah it looks like this

[olive sun]

I hate that

Get it off my screen

[urban kiln]

LOL

Usopp's is peak tho

Brook's too

[olive sun]

I wish I could justify splurging on this one

[pulsar path]

What in the Mecha Franky is that holy crap

[olive sun]

I wish Franky was allowed to be cool more often I miss his Water 7 aura

[pulsar path]

He's all different now with Vega cola 😂

[hot cairn]

wait fr?

[urban kiln]

this shit $1500 wtf 😭

[urban kiln]

yep

[hot cairn]

dang I don’t even have the first one yet

[urban kiln]

end of the year

[hot cairn]

nice

[olive sun]

At that price tag id buy an actual piece of art to install in my house and not anime merch

[hot cairn]

it’ll probably be 80% Wano

[scenic dirge]

I'll buy it for you as a promotion gift

[olive sun]

Oh that'll make it real easy to catch up

[urban kiln]

tch, "actual"... art gatekeeping...

[pulsar path]

Imagine getting one of these and chipping a piece during assembly lmao

[olive sun]

I might skip right to box set 5, go forward from there, and fill in the blanks

[urban kiln]

tch, buy me a mcchicken instead

[scenic dirge]

[olive sun]

Something not mass produced!

[hot cairn]

wouldn’t it be better to buy box set 1 first?

[pulsar path]

Why I see a face

[urban kiln]

hes in the mcdonalds server nah wtf

😭

[olive sun]

I got 1 and I'll probably get 2 this summer

[hot cairn]

oh nice

[digital spear]

the mcdonalds server lore...

[olive sun]

I'll hold off on 3 and 4, getting 5 and then collecting normal releases going forward is comparatively easy

[hot cairn]

there’s a McDonald’s server???

[olive sun]

I don't need to wait for box set 6 I just want the volumes

[scenic dirge]

I should have banned all of you for raiding that server just because I posted an emote from there

[digital spear]

we raided that server in 2020

[scenic dirge]

That's not the conduct I'd expect from r/OnePiece members

You should be ashamed of yourselves

[urban kiln]

Ive never joined 👼

[hot cairn]

why?

[scenic dirge]

nah this was years ago

[olive sun]

Join.

[digital spear]

they have good emotes

[pulsar path]

Wait is that your own personal McDonald server?

[scenic dirge]

no lol

[thick maple]

This goes hard

[scenic dirge]

It's just a meme server I think. I just joined one day coz they had some funny emotes I liked

[urban kiln]

you wont feel kinda sad not to have the box and inserts for 6 and beyond when it comes out in 10 years

[pulsar path]

Wait is wendy and Ronald McDonald related ?

[hot cairn]

I think I’ll wait for box set 6, it’ll be cool to have them all like that

[olive sun]

I don't care about the boxes they're just storage cases I keep in my crawl space

[digital spear]

Aura but I need like 5 minutes to make out what that magma creature is even supposed to be

[urban kiln]

true..

[scenic dirge]

[sharp granite]

tyhey always are 😉

[olive sun]

The inserts kinda suck now so I don't care

[sharp granite]

one piece IS mostly aimed at guyts after all

[thick maple]

I think it's a werewolf of sorts

[pulsar path]

They will be worth more than the books tho 😂

[olive sun]

Remember the collected Jinbe cover story appearances in box set 4

[urban kiln]

cool poster that is ruined by it being folded in 4 with a white crease through them

[hot cairn]

when do you guys think we’re leaving Elbaph

[digital spear]

2027

[scenic dirge]

I'm in my Brook arc rn tbh

[olive sun]

I'm the guy who threw all my videogame jewel cases in the trash in favor of a CD binder I ain't indulging those types of collectors

They can suffer

[thick maple]

11 chapters to go, I'll miss elbaf 😿

[hot cairn]

it’s Brook szn

[sharp granite]

i cant blieve some ppl dont find Frfanky cool. especially the girls

[hot cairn]

same

[hot cairn]

you’re so cooked Arisu, there’s no way we leave in 11 chapters

[thick maple]

Have faith in goda

[pulsar path]

I was the kid obsessed with boxes and back drops on action figures 😭 my parents would fight me on it 😭 I still have my GBA and GB boxes tho

[urban kiln]

now that we're getting an in depth brook flashback theres no chance you believe this

😭

[olive sun]

I kept all the art inserts they're in that briefcase that was next to my art book shelf

[hot cairn]

she doesn’t want to be wrong with his prediction

[digital spear]

she bet on Elbaf ending on chapter 1194 months ago

[urban kiln]

LOL

[pulsar path]

I really want the cross epoc thing that comes with the collections tho

[urban kiln]

Im so sorry arisu...

[thick maple]

The flashback will end next chapter

[olive sun]

But the kinds of people who care about getting the original plastic case? Idgi who cares, the thing I value is the software inside the box

[digital spear]

shes gonna be muted for 6 months...

[olive sun]

Surely this is available separately on eBay

[sharp granite]

rookie mistake. arcs always last a while

[urban kiln]

cases look cool it aint that deep

[hot cairn]

dang 6 months??

[olive sun]

They take up space

[hot cairn]

that’s crazy

[olive sun]

I like my space

[digital spear]

!rmd list

[urban kiln]

so do a lot of things

[digital spear]

yep lol

[pulsar path]

I mean few years ago I looked and I could not find it at all! I couldn't even find pictures of the actual book 😭 I mean I have not looked recently

[olive sun]

Yeah I got a lot of things!

[sharp granite]

this was so awaited. he metioned being a soldier in the past or needing to protect or sometihng

[hot cairn]

she’s cooked

[sharp granite]

dragon ball and one piece?

[pulsar path]

Yes !!

I love that damn 15 page mash up

[thick maple]

All 4 of my predictions have been true so far

[urban kiln]

the promise he wanted to protect was about laboon but yeah he did mention being a raider captain or w/e

[sharp granite]

I predict One Piece will end in 6 years

[sharp granite]

i love the details

[hot cairn]

you know who’s more cooked? Dolf who said that Elbaph will be 60 chapters long

[olive sun]

OP will end on chapter 5656

[digital spear]

did he bet anything tho

[hot cairn]

this one will be wrong, this flashback might be 5-7 chapters long

[sharp granite]

how many chapters we in?

[hot cairn]

58

[thick maple]

It won't.

[hot cairn]

[sharp granite]

well, shit.

😂

[hot cairn]

nah

[hot cairn]

close, it’ll be chapter 1556

[digital spear]

some people even said it ends before 1160

[thick maple]

I was right about rocks resisting domi reversi next chapter, flashback ending before 5th Feb, Imu face reveal in 2026

[olive sun]

Remember when people took that 2 years or whatever thing Oda said seriously

Like we'd end 40 chapters after egghead

Haven't they learned by now

[hot cairn]

the arc? But we’re past 1160

[fiery spire]

I hope we get new chapter in the next second

[hot cairn]

3 years and yeah he was tweaking

it’s been well past it now

[urban kiln]

I was hoping this was intentionally mirrored but its not close enough for me to push that agenda 😔

[hot cairn]

it’s just marketing

[digital spear]

Yeah thats true you were right about everything before that

[tranquil blade]

Oda is a known liar

Especially about anything to do with time

[digital spear]

yeah like when we were in the 1130s or whatever

[olive sun]

I can imagine us entering the final war / laugh tale by the start of 2028

[sharp granite]

were you even there

[olive sun]

I think that's reasonable

[hot cairn]

it’s close

[sharp granite]

oh nvm i thought you meant someti8hng else

[olive sun]

I was about to say yeah I've been following op weekly since 2004 lol

[sharp granite]

i love when soemone gets the SHIT pûnched out of them

[hot cairn]

that was crazy tho, but tbf who would’ve thought we would get a 19 chapters long flashback

[tranquil blade]

The anime made it feel more mirrored than the manga tbh

[sharp granite]

wow you've been on it for almost as long as I have

[pulsar path]

Isn't this the price of the collection??!?

[sharp granite]

how old are you?

[urban kiln]

wtf even is Kuma doing rn

[olive sun]

32

[urban kiln]

just sitting on a ship?

[olive sun]

I'm an unc

[hot cairn]

what do you think is next after Elbaph

[sharp granite]

I'm significantly older than you lol

[tranquil blade]

Being a corpse

[urban kiln]

hes unc you're gramps

[dapper tree]

Lodestar hype

[digital spear]

I dont even know if they took Kuma on Elbaf or not

[sharp granite]

but its rare cuz kifs at that time got into it through the anime

[hot cairn]

just chilling on the ship (maybe Lilith moved him to the 3000 year old lab)

[sharp granite]

One Piece had just dropped 1 or 2 volumes in english by that time i believe

[olive sun]

If we don't have a detour for the burn scar man and it's baked into the main route?
Probably lodestar. I see that island as Odas excuse to start bringing everything together before all the important characters make their way to laugh tale

[pulsar path]

I'm like a unc evolving to gramps or wait would that be a pops?

[tranquil blade]

Just dropped him into the water

[sharp granite]

i was reading it in french so they were being translated since 2000

[olive sun]

The final save point before the final dungeon where you wrap up sidequests

[hot cairn]

yessir

[sharp granite]

i mean I would have been old enough to read it the year it came out, if I was Japanese

but I was wayyy into DBZ as a kid

One Piece came out when I was 11

Started reading at 16

[olive sun]

Also we gotta get Vivi involved
Whether Mary Geoise kidnaps her or the straw hats grab her

[sharp granite]

hahaha

[olive sun]

That requires a bit of time

[hot cairn]

yeah that’s what I think too, but the burn scar man plotline is the missing piece of the puzzle. I have no idea where Oda is going with that.

[sharp granite]

not Lodestar. 1 or 2 islands before that.

[pulsar path]

Started at like or 12 when monthly USA jump started publication

[sharp granite]

whats the burn scar man

[olive sun]

I could see one island but I'd expect it to be a shorter arc and not a whole ass kingdom arc

[sharp granite]

nice

[pulsar path]

The dude that has the final pnyglyoh

Burn scar

[sharp granite]

OH

yeah

[olive sun]

I don't think we're getting two more before endgame territory though things are ramping up too much

[sharp granite]

woops

fail

[hot cairn]

you’re 40?

[urban kiln]

did anything ever come of this

[sharp granite]

maybe one small one then Lodestar then Laftel/Laugh Tale then sometihng bigger beyond, im sure, THEN Epilogue

[digital spear]

Moon arc and Emerald City...

[olive sun]

No Oda deliberately did this to bait me and make me upset

[urban kiln]

reall 😔

[sharp granite]

hmmm..vivi? freedom?

[hot cairn]

the guy that has the final road poneglyph, we have no idea where he is. Not even leads or something like that. Just that he sails on a dark ship and creates whirlpools

[sharp granite]

thats a deep cut

[digital spear]

one of the first 6 still has to come across the newspaper

[sharp granite]

yeah i remember now

[hot cairn]

I think that too, I believe next arc will be wherever Shanks is, not necessarily Lodestar

[sharp granite]

i think we're just gonna have lotsa surprises and it might not even turn out the way we think

might be back and forths between islands too

who the hell knows

nothing is never that simple in One Piece

[hot cairn]

not really, but maybe it’ll be mentioned post Elbaph. The crew has to meet with Vivi at some point

[olive sun]

Yeah I followed 4kids through early Alabasta before moving to subs and catching up to Water 7

Got the Shonen Jump magazines after becoming a fan too, which is how I experienced Laboon and Little Garden before I started to watch in Japanese. Which thankfully didn't confuse me cuz I had already heard the dub skipped some arcs

[digital spear]

well Lodestar would be a good place for Luffy to meet Shanks

[sharp granite]

god i hate 4kids

[hot cairn]

final war after Laughtale could be

[digital spear]

I didnt know 4kids skipped Little Garden

[olive sun]

It was a dark time

[sharp granite]

buit if he gives back the hat, he wont be straw hat luffy 🙁

[hot cairn]

possibly

[olive sun]

It's funny to look back at now

[sharp granite]

the hat will be given back when he dismantles the crew

[digital spear]

id be fine with that for a while

[olive sun]

Yeah it's not as memed as the iceburg but they went STRAIGHT from Whiskey Peak to Chopper

It was their effort to make the show work for their channel

[hot cairn]

I like that idea

[olive sun]

They wanted the mascot

[sharp granite]

yeah i was so esxcited to finally not need to torrent the series anymore lol...thankfully it disappeared quickly

and got replaced by the funimation dub

but it was too late by then

[olive sun]

I can't believe the Funimation dub got 4kids Luffy to voice Joyboy

I kinda love that

[hot cairn]

I think Shanks will let him keep it

[sharp granite]

most ppl agree the sub is better and more popuylar

[sharp granite]

what about Makino? he also has to pay her back for that drink, as he said when he was 7 years old.

😂

IM WAITING FOR THAT DETAIL ODA

[hot cairn]

trueee that’ll happen in the epilogue

[olive sun]

Luffys slowly becoming more recognizable worldwide in his Gear 5 form atp
I think we'll reach a point, like Roger and Shanks did, where him even having the hat is trivia for old men who lived during his time

[urban kiln]

are they still doing the 4kids voice

lol

[olive sun]

The hat can pass on

[digital spear]

it would be cool if Shanks actually takes back the hat and is wearing it for a while then during the final war he dies or gets beaten and the Strawhats arrive and Luffy picks up the hat again and is mad

[olive sun]

Nah

The power of competent voice directors and years of extra experience

[urban kiln]

but itd be funny...

[hot cairn]

it’s kinda his title tho, strawhat luffy

[digital spear]

yeah thats a good point tho Roger and Shanks dont have the title strawhat

[urban kiln]

straw hat too iconic I hope shanks dies so he can keep the hat

❤️

[olive sun]

Remember how they gave Robin a southern accent because she wore a cowboy hat one time

[sharp granite]

also the straw hat is symbolic of the sun

and of freedom

[sharp granite]

HAHAHA

[hot cairn]

Shanks dying theories are a thing of the past ngl

[urban kiln]

L

[sharp granite]

ppl dont think he will die anymore?

[olive sun]

https://youtu.be/fIcMlTCnT6c?si=TwYRb92epZKLICfA

[sharp granite]

also boa hancock has to get married with lufft

jk

[hot cairn]

not as much as they used to

[digital spear]

You might wonder why the strawhat only really became a symbol for Luffy in his pirate career and not for Roger and Shanks but its probably because the strawhat is also featured on his flag

[sharp granite]

the nightmare has returned

[hot cairn]

because of Shamrock and Garling

[sharp granite]

why not?

[hot cairn]

Shanks has more story now, it’s not only tied to Blackbeard

[sharp granite]

oh yeah

tbh 4kids dub voices were good for a kids show

[digital spear]

yeah Shanks dying has gotten more complicated now

[sharp granite]

nami and usopp and luffy all sounded great

but then sanji...like wtf

[urban kiln]

yeah hes red hair shanks because hes the red hair pirates

[digital spear]

which is a good thing. Not everything should be predictable

[hot cairn]

agreed

[sharp granite]

anyway imma go back to playing One Piece Burning Blood

[dense haven]

shanks haters in the mud

[sharp granite]

with my fave villain: Doflamingo

[hot cairn]

but yeah Shanks meet up is next arc, you heard it here first

[hot cairn]

thought you would say: “SHANKS IS HIM”

[digital spear]

He basically did

or do you mean after

actually I agree he does that

[digital spear]

Is he Redhair Shanks because of the Redhair Pirates or are they the Redhair Pirates because of Redhair Shanks

[spice cairn]

He will die and reincarnate

[hazy turret]

Are you kidding? They’re more alive than ever

[urban kiln]

you dont name your pirate crew after your wanted poster smh my head

shanks will be dying

[hot cairn]

nah not anymore after Shamrock and Garling were introduced

but I can see why some people still think he’ll die

[hazy turret]

Either he dies or Luffy dies

[hot cairn]

Luffy dying sucks

[digital spear]

Rokaya wdym

[hot cairn]

I don’t like it

[digital spear]

Shanks can still die but it would be later now

[hazy turret]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-disappearing-meme-gif-11712537724771379438

[sharp granite]

Luffy will absolutely not die.

andit would make no sense keeping shanks alive while luffys dead

shanks already sacrificed an arm for luffy

that shouldnt be wasted

[hasty sable]

Shanks will probably live now that he has more story that exists for himself and not just to die and motivate Luffy

He will fight Blackbeard and lose though

[odd rune]

Yeah shanks is gonna die

[odd rune]

hes the red haired pirates because its a middle finger to the gods knights who tried kidnapping him off rogers crew because they suspected he was a figarland

cuz of like, the redhair

thats my headcanon
