also-manga

[rose rune]

lol, poor fats

[vale heath]

i feel like the solution here is really obvious

[royal orchid]

it's called aura bruh

[stray prism]

yea just be a lurker

[cosmic hamlet]

Is that why you got react muted? You lurk and only react?

[dense haven]

hes been react muted for 2 years now

world record

[frozen aspen]

Fact: noone managed to stop loki while he was on the GrandLine bc the power of his stank would knock everyone in a 10km radius over. Only when someone stinkier appeared(Shanks) did Loki's reign of terror end

[cosmic hamlet]

Better than embed muted

[prisma yacht]

So brief

I like it

[frozen aspen]

getting react muted is lowkey an achievement bc there is plenty of ppl I've seen here do spam reactions and never get a mute from it

[prisma yacht]

Wtf spice

[cosmic hamlet]

Fronsen is one of them

[prisma yacht]

Cyg is one of them as well

🤓

This is him

[cosmic hamlet]

Are oda comments considered spoilers? Since its unrelated to the chapter

[cosmic hamlet]

I rarely use reactions

[prisma yacht]

no

I meant you're the nerd

[cosmic hamlet]

☃️

[dense haven]

CHAPTER OUT

[cosmic hamlet]

Good news is that RAWS are out so chapter tommorrow or sunday

[ornate tartan]

rip also manga

[graceful grove]

what

[prisma yacht]

rip also manga

[cosmic hamlet]

10-14hrs for the chapter 👍

If we are extremely lucky then 8hrs

[vale heath]

Hmmmm….

[hazy turret]

Bro is not feeso/meek

[vale heath]

Idk feels like something sus is happening if you’re getting the chapter before 10 days from now…

[cosmic hamlet]

I'm above them

[frozen aspen]

@dense haven u have 7 days left

[cosmic hamlet]

This is official, jump break this week

[cosmic hamlet]

Have you never been in community during jump break?

[vale heath]

I am obliquely referring to the fact that we have this early is not in accordance with waiting for Viz

Per my “Sunday waiters” faction

[prisma yacht]

Since there was no oda break they got the leaks earlier

I don't think it's sus

[gloomy tree]

It happens every year lol

[shadow knoll]

the leakers are extra naughty during christmas

[vale heath]

Crimes happen every day

[gloomy tree]

Because of the holidays the printed magazine gets send out early to the shops so it's ready to be sold

[shadow knoll]

chrissy is one of the leakers as well

[vale heath]

Statistically there’s a murder happening right now

[gloomy tree]

I mean yeah

[vale heath]

Murders are sus

[shadow knoll]

doesn't one person gets stabbed every 60 seconds in london?

[vale heath]

If it happens with regular frequency I guess that makes it okay

[gloomy tree]

Are we really comparing murder with leaks of an intellectual property?

Like yes, both are a crime but pls

[vale heath]

“It happens every year” is indeed not a valid excuse, yes

[gloomy tree]

All I did was explaining to u how it happens, yes it's still illegal but so are all leaks

[vale heath]

Right so
Let’s not do that
Is what I’m advocating

[gloomy tree]

Do what ever you want, nobody forces you to be here

[rich hornet]

Bro thinks an entire industry of pirating media is going to shut down if you say “pls stop”

[shadow knoll]

piracy is the last bit freedom in internet in general

[icy crown]

Xmas may be over, but I hope your week is still #GoingMerry

[gloomy tree]

See it would be great if there were no leaks

[icy crown]

Considering the rising costs of streaming services, I'd say we have truly entered the Great Pirate Era!

[icy crown]

me when I'm talking to my plumber about a problem

[shadow knoll]

Unironically, my family uses most streaming platforms

i hv them logged in but i never use them

I would rather watch on a pirated website

than watch on netflix

[graceful grove]

teach your family better ways

[shadow knoll]

they are too old

[rich hornet]

Fully agree. I like the way one piece is distributed officially. It’s just a consequence of printing physical magazines that the opportunity for leaks is too great to eliminate. And the demand for leaks isnt going anywhere

[icy crown]

yeah netflux don't need no mo money

[gloomy tree]

Yep

[icy crown]

they out here tryna buy warner bros

[midnight prism]

Chapter when

[shadow knoll]

yeah im scared they gonna ruin robert pattinson's batman movie

and superman sequel if there's any

[icy crown]

they could pull an hbo max and toss completed films into the waste bin

purely for financial reasons

[shadow knoll]

that sounds horrid

capitalism is the bane of existence

[pulsar path]

I have some complaints about vol /tankobons tho..like I get why they are behind but I really dislike that the newest manga vol always is the same content being shown at the same time in the anime

Would be nice if it was a vol head of the anime lol

[cosmic hamlet]

Who are you advocating? You do know that this server is not responsible for the leaks right?

You are talking like this server is the one leaking spoilers to others 😭

[ornate tartan]

the chapter is already out where I live

[alpine trench]

The Arabic scans are out

[cosmic hamlet]

Is it mars?

[ornate tartan]

bikini bottom

[cosmic hamlet]

Oh

[cosmic hamlet]

Right, tcb will be out tommorrow early morning IST

[alpine trench]

Yeah

So you’re Indian

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah

[alpine trench]

Good to see

[cosmic hamlet]

[grand flower]

What would have been bad to see

[vale heath]

Stop supplying demand and the source goes away.

[hazy turret]

Get his ass

[alpine trench]

If they weren’t Indian after that statement

[grand flower]

He wasn’t ready for that one

[grand flower]

Aight nvm he was ready

[hazy turret]

You blindsided tf outta him

[grand flower]

I appreciate the glaze

[cosmic hamlet]

Dude you don't know how server works then.

If they stop providing platform then all spoiler readers will storm in manga channel and spoil spoiler free people. Thats even worse.

[hazy turret]

I gotchu

[alpine trench]

Too late bud

[hazy turret]

Sybau

[grand flower]

YOOOO

ITS OUT

https://youtu.be/Z2dGDL6IrMo?si=RoaUla7foa5WhHJp

LETS GOOO

[hazy turret]

Oh brother

[thick mango]

Who's we? I'm not eustass kid

[hazy turret]

We carry road poneglyphs

[grand flower]

Oh brother

Man

Bruh

Funny how all the slang for exasperation is masculine

#DownWithMen

[tranquil blade]

"part XIII" at what point do you just go and read the original story

[hazy turret]

I’m sure you are

[grand flower]

That was a good one

[grand flower]

I actually did start reading it lasy year

[hazy turret]

[grand flower]

I oughta finish

[vale heath]

If we stop allowing something server-wide, then rule breakers will break the rules?

[alpine trench]

By this name you imply Kid is dead?

[grand flower]

Do you think this emoji has a butt crack back there?

[blazing mantle]

This means 13!

[cosmic hamlet]

Yes

[blazing mantle]

😼

[thick mango]

Oh like we carry on his legacy

[vale heath]

And rule breakers suffer what consequence?

[alpine trench]

I got her fr

[thick mango]

Of... terrorizing civs I guess?

[blazing mantle]

Death

[tranquil blade]

Uhh yes I do know that

[blazing mantle]

Oh

[grand flower]

Kid never killed civilians that was government propaganda because he’s a Davy

[rich hornet]

It’s just virtue signaling

[cosmic hamlet]

Its already happening even if we provide platform. Its not important to ban spoiler readers. Its important to protect spoiler free people to not get spoiled.

[hazy turret]

You mean you haven’t seen it?

[thick mango]

Cope

[grand flower]

Nah show me the butt crack

[grand flower]

Look into his old bounty

[hazy turret]

https://tenor.com/view/emoti-guy-joe-coin-twerking-funny-butt-gif-13403243289768100673

[vale heath]

Perhaps I’m not understanding your definition of spoilers

[thick mango]

Sometimes people just do bad shit not everything is a wg propaganda op

[grand flower]

Ban rokaya for nsfw

[tranquil blade]

Tbf we never saw Kid kill civilians onscreen but the crucifixion stuff cant really be saved

[tranquil blade]

Why is he shaking all that sakamoto days

[cosmic hamlet]

You talking like this is a ideal society, some rando will join and post spoilers in manga channel. All mods can do is ban that rando but the deed is already done. At the expense of banning one rando several people got spoiled.

You look like you don't know how social media works

[grand flower]

A pirate that attacked him

[vale heath]

If the chapter is out unofficially 10 days before Viz release, is that not spoilers?

I indeed have not had a social media besides this discord for 6 years and my mental health has improved greatly for it.

[grand flower]

I’m in there!

[grand flower]

Well maybe not attacked

But a pirate nonetheless

[cosmic hamlet]

Dude you think viz doesn't know tcb is releasing early? They don't care. They still get money.

[vale heath]

No consequence = allowed and accepted, got it

[rich hornet]

I’m sure they would like to stop it if they could

[cosmic hamlet]

If tcb is out 10 days early and we are not announcing for 10 days then several people will get spoiled

[thick mango]

I think they do care but there's just nothing to be done it's too large there are too many points of potential leak

[cosmic hamlet]

Nobody is willing to take the risk

[thick mango]

If viz could flip a lever and stop all leaks they 100% would

[prisma yacht]

Cyg how long for the chap

[cosmic hamlet]

Whatever makes you think you are right ig

[cosmic hamlet]

Earlier morning IST is what i got. So 8-12hrs more

[tranquil blade]

What is IST

[cosmic hamlet]

Indian time zone

[grand flower]

I - Indian

S - time

T - zone

Sumn’s fucky here

[cosmic hamlet]

Indian standard time is the abbreviation

[grand flower]

Oh my fault

[prisma yacht]

Yay tmr morning chap

[grand flower]

Speaking of Indian folk any Fuzzzz fans in the chat

Her channel is great

[cosmic hamlet]

Who is fuz?

[alpine trench]

Who the fuck is that

[shadow knoll]

[mighty shell]

i forget that's a time zone it's just in my head the running joke for why brown people are always late <- clarification is also brown

[cosmic hamlet]

Never heard of her

[alpine trench]

Idk who this person is and I’m not interested enough to click

[tranquil blade]

The title is uh

Yeah

[grand flower]

I mean I didn’t just assume you all know each other

[prisma yacht]

Weird fucking title

[shadow knoll]

who tf is fuzzz

she don even look indian bruh

[cosmic hamlet]

We are 30mins off by most time zones

[grand flower]

You can’t say that I don’t think

Alright tough crowd

[cosmic hamlet]

[grand flower]

How about Ray William Johnson

Eh? Eh?

[cosmic hamlet]

Nope

Never heard

[tranquil blade]

I mean indian people have a lot of variety in appearance the video just gives off bad vibes by title alone

[shadow knoll]

yeah

[rich hornet]

Just have to be different huh

[grand flower]

sheesh

What about uh

RRR

[prisma yacht]

Peak

[cosmic hamlet]

There are other few rare time zones like us

[shadow knoll]

what's rrr?

[tranquil blade]

Okay everyone knows him

[prisma yacht]

It's a movie

[shadow knoll]

the movie?

[prisma yacht]

Yep

[tranquil blade]

but he's also beyond washed

[cosmic hamlet]

Okay everyone knows this

[shadow knoll]

he was washed even in 2016

[cosmic hamlet]

Every indian i mean

[shadow knoll]

the resurgence was only cuz of yt shorts

[vestal mural]

@ashen perch found your channel feet man https://youtube.com/shorts/RNY4_6k31E4?si=tfj2qFnIuSK81xbl

[thick mango]

That short form scroll content is so addictive and time wasting I try to stay away from it

[mighty shell]

shuron have you seen eega by the same directors

[thick mango]

It's counter intuitive that a series of 60 second videos threaten to waste so much god damn time

[rich hornet]

Thats the smart play. Been wasting hours a day for months

Not so much just sitting down with shorts, but keeping them open during cooking or cleaning. Makes everything go slower

[thick mango]

I got audio books for that kind of thing something you actually appreciate having consumed at the end

[cosmic hamlet]

They can't though, they stopped jaminibox and tcb appeared. If they stop tcb another one appears.

The core problem is that people in stores are leaking RAWS. As long as they can't fix the problem at that front. Anyone will replace

[rich hornet]

Yeah exactly. So idk what that person is getting bent out of shape over. It’s the state of manga, and it’s way bigger than this discord. The best you can do is adjust around the leaks. And I think creating space for them, like the spoiler channel here, is a good option

[graceful grove]

chapter day

https://tenor.com/view/later-alligator-gif-16598835941615217981

if they reveal the DF, it might be my favorite Elbaf chapter so far

[cosmic hamlet]

Exactly what I'm saying, the source is not this server. Not providing a platform is worse because spoiler addicts will post in manga channel if there is no spoiler channel

[mighty shell]

it's hard to fight an entire leaks culture

it takes the efforts of a combined community to stop people from posting them i've only ever seen it happen in the kagurabachi community

[vale heath]

It is my, perhaps naive I’ll grant, opinion that one can, over time and not immediately, lessen and stop the demand for, and subsequently supply of, leaks and spoilers by not providing an accepting platform for it.

[mighty shell]

holy commas

[graceful grove]

https://tenor.com/view/fuck-up-some-commas-young-bloodz-gif-4691408

[stray pulsar]

Yo what if Kai D O?

[cosmic hamlet]

We can't even stop a bigger community of movies

[cosmic hamlet]

Speak in english

[vale heath]

All of those are English words.

I typed what I meant because I meant what I typed.

[cosmic hamlet]

Yet i still can't read them

😭

[rich hornet]

That’s going to take a societal shift against this whole idea of instant gratification. You’re fighting human nature. Not that we shouldn’t try, but raising a stink about a chapter leaking 10 days early and comparing it to murder is just silly

[thick mango]

I'd prefer server took a harder stance against bullet points but by the time tcb is out trying to keep it suppressed is hopeless

[cosmic hamlet]

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah, its hard to not get spoiled by waiting for official

[rich hornet]

Unless you simply unplug. Which isn’t a bad idea

[vale heath]

I took specific issue with the justification “this happens every year”, which is not a correct stance to take.

[thick mango]

I get one piece stuff recommended to me when I open a new tab on my phone browser. I can't unplug from that

[cosmic hamlet]

I would rather have discussion

[rich hornet]

You gotta fix your browser dude. Why is it serving ads on the new tab page

[haughty saddle]

Idk the context of this and I’m glad I think

[cosmic hamlet]

You are misreading what chrissy said. I thought you are good in english and understanding context since you use complex english

[thick mango]

I dunno that's a good thing 90% of the time it's articles and stuff I would be interested in

[rich hornet]

It doesn’t need justified or not, it’s the reality of the situation

[indigo yacht]

The problem with leaks is that WSJ does not want to switch to digital release first before physical. If they switched we’d never have leaks or spoilers but they simply don’t. So street vendors break date and sell the magazine which then those people sell the raws online

The only thing we can do is contain them and so far it has worked out. People will want to talk about them and our (mods) personal feelings on spoilers don’t really matter aside from making sure they stay where they should be

[cosmic hamlet]

Rob is typing a essay

[vale heath]

Looks like the words “it happens every year” to me

[indigo yacht]

Personally I want to switch to official only since we can get a fancy timer countdown but we can’t have nice things 🙁

[cosmic hamlet]

What he meant is, its not surprising that the chapter is coming out 10 days early because it happens every year

[haughty saddle]

You can thumb your nose at the poors as well

That’s my favorite part

[cold steppe]

It's easy tbh. You just need to avoid them

[mighty shell]

https://tenor.com/view/drake-yachty-censored-not-drake-tech-support-gif-8658410013845332703

[shadow knoll]

my chat kinda sus

[cosmic hamlet]

Sensible take, csm is digital and there were never leaks for them.

Releasing digital early will simply fix this issue. If they are not willing to change the approach to fix the leak problem then its half their fault too for not trying

[prisma yacht]

JAHAHAHA

[cosmic hamlet]

Maybe I'm wrong and there are legal issues for releasing early but atleast they all should cooperate and try to implement it

[haughty saddle]

Are leaks really like, that big of an issue

Most of the community reads via pirated fan translations anyway

And has since literally like I dunno. 02?

It’s apart of the experience atp

Nooo dude we can’t sell wings anymore at the sports bar it’s not good for the

[cosmic hamlet]

Pirated fan translations is what the issue they are talking about

[rich hornet]

I think the community would be better if we didn’t do that lol but this is the TCB server basically

[haughty saddle]

Shut up man you’re at the sports bar

Brother idk how to tell you

Most people read via TCB or likewise fan translators

[cold steppe]

Yeah. But if it means no more leaks, I'm sure people would be willing to give up the scans and settle for Sunday

[haughty saddle]

Even people who aren’t discord users lol

Literally every person I know in person reads via fan scans. And they aren’t on reddit or discord.

[hazy turret]

The community would be better if everyone stopped being babies and just read spoilers

[cosmic hamlet]

Its not that this is TCB server, there are no other reliable scans and can't wait till official when a quality scan is out which every one reads

[cosmic hamlet]

[haughty saddle]

It’s never not been that way though

Leaks were a thing when I started in like 2011

[shadow knoll]

there's always gonna be the righteous ones, you can't do anything ant them

[cosmic hamlet]

But the discussion is not about spoilers though, its about illegal scans like tcb

[haughty saddle]

I just don’t know what what you’re describing would even look like

[cold steppe]

I personally prefer the scan translations. But if it means the spoilers and leaks would stop, I'll take the official any day

[hazy turret]

If you read spoilers you won’t care about the legality of scans

[rich hornet]

Nah the TCB members are pretty active here. And the server low-key promotes them over any other scan

[shadow knoll]

damn why do people hate leaks so much

avoiding them is not that difficult

switch of social media beuh

[cosmic hamlet]

I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about what the other guy is raising issue for

[haughty saddle]

Yeah I’ve been spoiler free for like over a month now and I haven’t been spoiled on shit but the color spread

[rich hornet]

I don’t think I’ve ever been spoiled since catching up in 2014

[thick mango]

If everyone stopped being babies unable to wait 72 hours spoilers would be no problem.
Being unable to delay gratification is an understandable trait in children but it's wild to see how prevalent it is otherwise.
Are y'all even putting money in an Ira? You're gonna have to wait to get something, which seems to be a tough concept

[vale heath]

I go by “Mimzee”, if you care for a name besides “the other guy” 😄

[cold steppe]

Same it's easy. But some people are not as fortunate

[cosmic hamlet]

Who are those tcb members? I don't see a single tcb member?

If you meant feeso and meek, they just casually talk about one piece here right?

[vale heath]

It’s about time I change this nickname anyway

[clever idol]

Ratio

[vale heath]

Not funny anymore

[hazy turret]

Jokes on you, I’m unemployed

[shadow knoll]

bruh

istg weebs are getting worse day by day

grow up

[haughty saddle]

It’s a comic strip

[prisma yacht]

Ikr cyg can be so rude sometimes smh

[haughty saddle]

Don’t moralize this shit bro please

[clever idol]

They need to be euthanized

[haughty saddle]

Cmon lmfaooo

[cosmic hamlet]

Now tell me, can you say the same if you wait for official and this server also waits for official? People will storm here and post tcb scans and spoil you

[haughty saddle]

The way in which I drink my water is superior to yours; for mine lacks wrappings which would end in the sea. Surely I am greater.

Get fucking over yourself lmao

[vale heath]

Don’t be here Thursday-Saturday
Something I should do more often

[cosmic hamlet]

Its not about waiting 72hrs, its about surviving to not get spoiled for 72 hrs while tcb is out.

[hazy turret]

It is for me, I read spoilers because I’m impatient

[rich hornet]

Spend time with your loved ones

[thick mango]

I wouldn't care if spoiler readers could read channel titles to not spread it multiple times every single week.

[haughty saddle]

I’ve been here for a few years. If I didn’t read TCB I just wouldn’t visit until Sunday. This place doesn’t owe me that.

[cosmic hamlet]

Wtf did i do?

[rose rune]

Oh. I forgot to post the pictures I took at work yesterday

[prisma yacht]

So beautiful

[haughty saddle]

Again, been here for years. Have only had it happen once. Sorry that happened to you brother, but again. It can be an annoyance without you turning into some video essay morality issue.

[cosmic hamlet]

Its not just here, its the same across all platforms

[graceful grove]

you work on the street? what you selling?

[clever idol]

😑

[haughty saddle]

I don’t use most platforms

[prisma yacht]

it's what you didn't btw

[clever idol]

Oh boo fuckin hoo

[rose rune]

What are you buying

[clever idol]

"Surviving"

[rich hornet]

I don’t think it’s so deep thats a morality thing. But in general if people can stand to be more patient, they will have more enjoyable lives

[clever idol]

Classes on how to get off the street

[cosmic hamlet]

But still you are here before tcb is out though

[thick mango]

Man you lucky I only been around a couple years and I've had probably around 20-30 chapters spoiled

[haughty saddle]

It’s literally being made into a morality thing

[cosmic hamlet]

Okay what i didn't do?

[rich hornet]

That’s a dumb take, you can ignore those people

[graceful grove]

anything for under $100

[cosmic hamlet]

okay its not that bad but its just to convey the meaning

[ashen perch]

Meek was a member of our server way before he was ever a member of TCB and Feeso is also the same lol, not sure where there is coming from. We post TCB simply because it happens to be the best possible option amongst all the other ones, thats all.

[haughty saddle]

Yes because I don’t care. I read TCB lmfao

I’m saying if I didn’t read TCB

Cmon Cy

It’s annoying yeah but like damn man

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah but if you go with official you have stay away from discussion till its out

[vale heath]

Correct

[graceful grove]

if your are official only, it's on you

[haughty saddle]

That’s every single jump community that’s in the magazine and has been for literally decades man

[cosmic hamlet]

We are discussing about if this server goes official only

[haughty saddle]

Like again I’m sorry

[graceful grove]

if you have issues with idiots posting spoilers in here before the tcb, that's understandable

[haughty saddle]

It’s been every shonen community’s basis for literally the two decades now I’ve been reading shonen

[cold steppe]

Also it'll just be chaos If the server followed the official with scans going around 3 days earlier

[cosmic hamlet]

Other series are not as crazy as one piece and you know it

[graceful grove]

hell nah. server will be dead from the tcb release to official

[haughty saddle]

Physical series that are popular???

Fuck yeah they are

[gloomy tree]

That would happen regardless of if we post spoilers or not

[haughty saddle]

Naruto and Bleach spoilers/fanslations used to come out at the same time as ours did

Kagurabachi and JJK spoilers too

[cosmic hamlet]

[haughty saddle]

If you’re in the physical magazine, the community is going to pick a fan translation, and THAT is the benchmark for discussion and spoilers

It’s been that way forever dude.

Get with the program mane

[cosmic hamlet]

It would be worse if you guys didn't provide platform for spoiler discussion

[vale heath]

What a beautiful duwang

[graceful grove]

yes because there is no cure for being idiots xd

some of them are trolls too

[ashen perch]

Yea this will never work out because only a very small percentage of the fanbase doesn't read TCB lol. The rest would never comply with a switch to official only.

[cosmic hamlet]

Hey come on, spoiler readers are superior

[graceful grove]

ew

[mighty shell]

jjk was weird because john werry was the devil so being up to date with viz meant nothing

[graceful grove]

they are the worst. look at Rokaya

[vale heath]

Alright, I’m out. See you guys next Sunday

[hazy turret]

Wtf?

[rose rune]

https://tenor.com/view/what-are-you-buying-selling-resident-evil-gif-15949790

[cosmic hamlet]

Official translations of jjk are worst right?

[graceful grove]

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-silence-nose-gif-17895433

[haughty saddle]

John Werry hated JJK while it was still good

[ashen perch]

Making some strong points ngl

[cosmic hamlet]

Any plans to switch to OPscans release announcements?

[ashen perch]

Id rather

Not

[cosmic hamlet]

Look at me, I'm wise

[haughty saddle]

Is that what the kids are calling it now

[graceful grove]

i'll have a bag of that white powder plz

[prisma yacht]

guys this right here

[cosmic hamlet]

If viz somehow make it happen so that they release english version on wednesday, they would get a huge boost

[hazy turret]

You never bully male users like this

[prisma yacht]

is what we call misinformation

[graceful grove]

i don't see it in your name.

[cosmic hamlet]

You will see it in arsal name when i win the bet soon

[prisma yacht]

What bet

[cosmic hamlet]

How many times you gonna ask 😭

[graceful grove]

good luck

[prisma idol]

It's funny because back fans supposedly hate leaks

[prisma yacht]

Errr

I don't even remember asking

[cosmic hamlet]

They really do yeah

[prisma yacht]

[cosmic hamlet]

Hxh fans also hated it

[haughty saddle]

It’s about what every other fanbase is

There’s a young vocal minority who are very against it

[cosmic hamlet]

[ashen perch]

I bully meek like every day smh

[haughty saddle]

But they stay well contained for the most part

You have to seek them out on Twitter and shit, which isn’t worth it

[prisma idol]

I mean you cant really get rid of leak culture if you are are popular series

[ashen perch]

I mean no, because the pirated version will always release earlier than the official

[haughty saddle]

If you’re popular and in the magazine, it’s just not gonna happen

[prisma yacht]

I actually don't remember the bet

@cosmic hamlet

[prisma idol]

The discord has a whole channel for it

[cosmic hamlet]

How? If they release viz before the print, how can that happen?

[haughty saddle]

The kagurabachi discord is a fucking hell hole

They pinged me 5 times in one day for this cyber security bullshit where they insisted a huge cyber attack was coming

I was like dude I’m outta here

[cosmic hamlet]

Whether loki flashback will continue after harald death or not is the bet

[graceful grove]

why wouldn't they hate spoilers when new chapters come out once in 2 years

[prisma yacht]

Ohhhh

Yeahh

You gonna lose cyg

Muhehehehe

[cosmic hamlet]

I think they hated the tcb release aswell saying "togashi is working hard even when his health is bad and you are making money from this"

[indigo yacht]

Tbf there’s no better English fan scans than them. Also helps that some of their team were also part of JB before so they’ve been doing this for a while

[cosmic hamlet]

We will see

[ashen perch]

Yea that's the thing, they won't ever release digital before print, its a simulpublication model, they release it at the same time for maximum profits

[rich hornet]

I’m not bashing it, it just really does seem that we are unofficially aligned with TCB

[ashen perch]

There's less incentive to buying print if it comes out days after digital, they'll never do that

[cosmic hamlet]

Is that why they went with the same design for the credit page?

[prisma yacht]

Opscans are out

tcb tonight?

[cosmic hamlet]

Thats my point tho, if viz somehow is able to achieve via some meeting and discussions we won't have this illegal scans

[ashen perch]

Maybe tomorrow but I haven't seen Feeso around to ask

[haughty saddle]

I feel like they’re just the best. It was like how basically EVERYONE used to use Mangapanda and Mangastream.

[cosmic hamlet]

You can ask me 😭

I already gave update

[haughty saddle]

For a while, they were fastest and/or most accurate

[ashen perch]

This is it yeah, we used to do the same with Jaimnis

[indigo yacht]

Yea in my mind they’re pretty much the spiritual successor to JB

[prisma yacht]

😭 why is opscans out so early

[haughty saddle]

What is JB? Jaminis Box?

[cosmic hamlet]

i see

[hazy turret]

Justin beibbberrr

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah

[haughty saddle]

That was between Mangapanda and TCB right?

[haughty saddle]

I like that laugh

[indigo yacht]

Yea JaiminisBox

[ashen perch]

Way better to just eliminate the print model altogether honestly, that's the ideal solution that they won't take

[indigo yacht]

mangapanda
I’d rather commit sepukku

[haughty saddle]

It’ll always be in my heart

[cosmic hamlet]

They don't do things properly, like they don't have a redrawer, they do not have proper translator. I have heard these things from a guy who works in opscans

[ashen perch]

Yea we simply just post because they're the best scan group around, like Jaimnis Box was

[haughty saddle]

I don’t think there’s a conspiracy to make Meek wealthier or anything

That would be really funny though

[ashen perch]

Yea this is the first time I'm hearing of this "unofficial TCB server" bit lmao

[haughty saddle]

Meek is throwing fats a crisp band every week to keep us using TCB lmaoooo

That’s why he won’t get perma’d

[cosmic hamlet]

Japan is addicted to buying books from stores, so its hard to do that. I don't understand the problem for releasing english variant early compared to japan, they think illegal scans will happen in japan from english version? 😭

[ashen perch]

We're a front for the make Meek a millionaire plan

[haughty saddle]

ITS ALL UNRAVELING NOW

[ashen perch]

Reminds me of the other meek conspiracy, that he has some secret immunity from us

[fallen meteor]

you are all paid by Big Meek

[ashen perch]

Lmao

[cosmic hamlet]

[ashen perch]

The secret owner

[haughty saddle]

The conspiracy has to have a twist

Fats is an innocent sweet angel

ROKAYA is pocketing the cash!!!!!

[indigo yacht]

I’m a meek hater

[fallen meteor]

fats has been mia and while away Meeks sit at the empty throne..

not meeks

meek

[prisma yacht]

So you know a guy who knows a guy

[cosmic hamlet]

Which meek? Meek18 or meek__?

[indigo yacht]

Yes

[cosmic hamlet]

Something like that

[hazy turret]

Guys guess who just purchased a sweet new lambo

[cosmic hamlet]

Not me

[indigo yacht]

You’ve been saving up your fatsbux plus your yearly bonuses haven’t you

[ashen perch]

Well for one, its kind of ridiculous to do an early release for just the English readers. The idea of them doing a worldwide simulrelease is already as good as it can get. People don't understand that this would be unimaginable 10 years ago but here we are.

[prisma yacht]

Physical media is always a W

[cosmic hamlet]

Btw chapter in 7-10hrs

[hazy turret]

Plus some money from managing fleeb’s OF

[haughty saddle]

I’m trying to get like you, OG

[prisma yacht]

[ashen perch]

How do you even know

[hazy turret]

He’s been saying this for hours now and people are just buying it

[fallen meteor]

last week he was right

tho

[ashen perch]

No but he was right the last time

[hazy turret]

Get your funny up not your money up

[fallen meteor]

but Cygneto said their source is above Meek and Feeso

[ashen perch]

Cyg...
C**...

[indigo yacht]

If it’s not out in this time frame I’m throwing you in a medieval device

[random hinge]

my source is telling me chapter will be out in 20 minutes

[cosmic hamlet]

Thats why I'm using the term, "if viz can somehow manage it".

Its either early english release or going digital. There is no other option to avoid illegal scans

[haughty saddle]

Where’s the panel of Doflamingo going “even higher”

[ashen perch]

Its close enough

[thick mango]

Since op scans is out it seems reasonable that tcbscans will be out soon

[indigo yacht]

We’re gonna quarter you

definitely not you

You are not the first one who tried this trick on me and failed, right @ashen perch

[fallen meteor]

3000 carats if the chapter isnt out in 7 hours

He actually managed to live, like it surprised me

[cosmic hamlet]

I'm not tcb staff if that is where you are going

[prisma yacht]

What if they lied to you this time cyg

[haughty saddle]

Ping me when they rerun the Kitasan banner

[ashen perch]

I thought he would be breathing his last in 5 minutes and then the chapter just came out

[haughty saddle]

Ping me when season 1 of kagurabachi is out

[fallen meteor]

didnt they just do that

[prisma yacht]

has 4 letters

[shadow knoll]

if chapter doesn't come out in 24 hours, im sending feet pics

[fallen meteor]

you want the re rerun?

[prisma yacht]

which ends with a t

[haughty saddle]

I’ll throw up

[prisma yacht]

Yeah that's definitely cyg

[haughty saddle]

Yes dude I need like 1 more copy of her

[fallen meteor]

i think it might still be up actually

[haughty saddle]

I’m almost max

Smh. I’ll redownload the horse game.

[cosmic hamlet]

It will be hard to believe but my source is higher than feeso and meek, you can check with feeso about my validity

[ashen perch]

Its not cup?

Idk who'd be higher than Feeso than him

[shadow knoll]

two girls one cup?

[ashen perch]

Let's not

[thick mango]

John TCB himself

[graceful grove]

the sleepy uploader

[fallen meteor]

it's not cup, it's board

[hazy turret]

Is that uploader sama

[fallen meteor]

[ashen perch]

Cup is the main guy

The owner

[hazy turret]

Apparently not

[ashen perch]

TCB scans stands for The Cupboard Scans

[hazy turret]

Fats is the owner but we all know who the main guy is

[fallen meteor]

Cygneto's source is Mr The

[cosmic hamlet]

You mean wup? He and i have some aggressive past

[shadow knoll]

people don't want spoilers, but i like spoilers cuz i dont wanna hear another zoro vs sanji or mihawk vs shanks debate

[indigo yacht]

This joke requires deep ball knowledge

[hazy turret]

I was gonna say king taeshik

[ashen perch]

It is cup, he's just adding a W to it lol. Drumz01 also the same dude

[fallen meteor]

💀 ☠️

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah I'm aware

[indigo yacht]

My conspiracy theory is that cyg is just a cup alt

[fallen meteor]

Cupygneto

[cosmic hamlet]

Haha

[ashen perch]

That's what I was thinking 🙂‍↕️

[cosmic hamlet]

Cup is not managing the scans right now

[hazy turret]

His other account name is nocer, reverse of recon youtuber

[graceful grove]

no idea who that is until just now

[strong wadi]

I shall never forget when Cup released a chapter that literally just had blurbs throughout the chapter there were just, "Fuck Doomspeaker", "Fuck Fatsumo" "Fuck Jeffreysushi" and most importantly, "Fuck Olisanto" because apparently they thought Oli was staff I guess

[haughty saddle]

This killed me lmfao

[ashen perch]

Ahh Nocer, that was the other one

[hazy turret]

Is everyone gonna convince themselves that cyg is cup the same way op fans convinced themselves sandman was Oda’s wife

[cosmic hamlet]

I thought this is a known thing? Is it not?

[ashen perch]

Insane dude

[cosmic hamlet]

I'm not cup, don't link me to that guy 😭

[graceful grove]

do you have any proof that sandman isn't Odas wife?

[indigo yacht]

Poor Oli got caught in the crossfire lmfaoo

[hazy turret]

Sandman said he was approached by gay men interested in relations

[full basin]

what did i just walk into

[graceful grove]

ok so he is Odas side piece

[full basin]

WTF yall talking about LOL

[hazy turret]

You interested?

[ashen perch]

Hey dont group me in with em, I hate sandman and find him to be a weirdo cringe attention seeker smh

i mean okay like not evil

[indigo yacht]

I fucking hate sandman dude

[formal wagon]

why sandman is awesome

[prisma yacht]

Oda

[strong wadi]

I will say, this comment reminded me that I forgot to mention this comparison that I thought of when I first read the chapter

[formal wagon]

LOL

[fallen meteor]

its nice of oda to release a character so people with blonde g5 can cover it easy

[indigo yacht]

Did we ever get a name for this guy

[strong wadi]

Barbel

[fallen meteor]

one of the bells

[indigo yacht]

Thank you

[fallen meteor]

whats up with him turning off his hair

[formal wagon]

barbell being so large is so random

oda literally showed him like once didn't he?

less appearences than gil bastar

the real hero of god valley

[strong wadi]

nah deff more if you dont count thriller bark shit

[formal wagon]

we saw gil twice in GV

im not counting thriller bark

[fallen meteor]

we saw him a few times i think

[formal wagon]

once in the kuma flashback and once in the loki flashback

[fallen meteor]

at least twice since we see him with his hair off and on

[formal wagon]

oh okay then they're tied

[strong wadi]

Oda made barbell part of the upper echelon and not gil

so we end up seeing barbel a little more

[indigo yacht]

Oda should’ve kept barbel with the freshie for the color spread

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-meme-akainu-sakazuki-papazuki-gif-14571279860725901516

[thick mango]

Were bm kaido and wb officers

Did rocks have officers or was it a flat structure

[cosmic hamlet]

I forgot you are akainu fan

Oh wait, thats juba

[indigo yacht]

It was probably a “normal” structure for pirates so first mates and all that jazz

But no officers

[formal wagon]

everyone loves akainu ❤️

[indigo yacht]

Their crew was too small to need officers

[cosmic hamlet]

Mages?

Oh mates

I was like where did mages come out from

[indigo yacht]

Mates autocorrect to mages for me for some reason

[cosmic hamlet]

[rich hornet]

Rob secretly a wizard, exposed by autocorrect

[strong wadi]

These are all the times Barbel has appeared

[thick mango]

I'd love to see an Akainu aokiji rematch in the end

[cosmic hamlet]

What is catfish fishman?

[thick mango]

Akainu hype lords can be comforted by it being a Nv1 with sabo help and maybe help of others

[rich hornet]

When they pretend to be a mermaid, but instead it’s fishman Nami

[cosmic hamlet]

Why is his hair always burning

[thick mango]

Maybe he has the flame fruit

Ace isn't born yet not impossible

[strong wadi]

Probably no real structure, just the strongest at the top as a general rule. Every named character except Gil was in the latest color spread so maybe he’s a weakling

[thick mango]

He has the same monk beads necklace

[cosmic hamlet]

Rocks had the same structure as strawhats i guess

[rich hornet]

Mera mera fishman would be quite cool actually

[cosmic hamlet]

That would indicate that he is dead. Do we know if he died

[rich hornet]

He’s the only main rocks pirate we can’t account for, I believe

[thick mango]

No but we know so little about him. There's like 25-35 years where he coulda died

[alpine trench]

checking out some of the raws, thsi spread in HQ goes so hard

and we know now that that fucking sword wielder is shamrock

[fallen meteor]

a third, hidden twin

[alpine trench]

well, the most popular assumption at least

[cosmic hamlet]

Where do you get these raws?

[alpine trench]

nicomanga

[thick mango]

If there's a third shanks brother or other character this is proven to represent I'll eat a sock

[cosmic hamlet]

His nose and mouth doesn't look like shamrock

[fallen meteor]

what if they have an older/younger sibling

[cosmic hamlet]

Thanks

[cosmic hamlet]

No thanks

😭

[thick mango]

Even if they do it ain't who oda was implying here as among the key figures in the race for the op

[austere comet]

I'm so cringe

When I'm shown right about how obviously this fandom has misinterpreted the chapter 1121 concluding spread in spinning back to insult every person I've promised to spin back on, in the time since.

[fallen meteor]

no i'm not saying it's implying anything i'm just interested in you eating a sock if Garling has like a 2 year old baby

[austere comet]

I want to vomit every time I read 20+ people in a row state "the most important"
"The 12 characters who matter"
"Narrative 🤓"

[thick mango]

"That this is proven to represent" means it's that other child who's highlighted in this spread

[fallen meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/glorp-glorpshit-mad-gif-12826934952903770254

[thick mango]

I do get that reaction but on the other hand i think the purpose of the spread ending the vp speech was for oda to tell us "here are all the most important people in this upcoming race I'm describing"

[austere comet]

It was the climax of Egghead

[thick mango]

Akainu has barely anything to do with egghead, shamrock hadn't even been revealed yet. I think we're supposed to view it as forward looking

[warm fossil]

sometimes i find joy

[austere comet]

There are characters just as integral who had no justification for being in that spread as they weren't part of a newly intro'd faction being worked into the plot.
Nor were they a focus as an individual character in Egghead, for matters of plotting that this fandom doesn't consider; rather than because of some basic understanding of "mattering."

[austere comet]

Sakazuki is the Fleet Admiral and was someone we specifically checked back in with repeatedly to the point of having dialogue from them; the pontificating around Kuma and his promise to sink all pirates back to the bottom of the sea/plus is inherent position, is more than enough presence for him to be on such a spread.

Versus say a Crocodile who was present but whose person wasn't the focus of Cross Guild's thread.

Instead Oda will just leave us with the single panel of him surrounded in all black, to pick up from with his story when we return.

[thick mango]

It's fine if you have a different interpretation. My interpretation is that oda is telling us who the most important ppl will be in the op race.
Most important doesn't mean only important

[austere comet]

Why would any writer have chosen to highlight Mihawk or Crocodile coming into Egghead rather than Buggy (already an obvious endgame character to most people, by the end of Loguetown) who's taken less seriously in-world, yet also has a character that needs exploration?

[austere comet]

No.

It's wrong.

[thick mango]

Haha well fair enough if you think that, I disagree

[austere comet]

If someone doesn't understand that Smoker's as important or possibly more important than Kuzan, and that he had relevance directly towards Roger and Luffy that inherently boosts him with the Loguetown/protagonist tax, then they're too caught up in fandom groupthink/recency bias.

[thick mango]

I don't think smoker is going to be more impactful than kuzan at all. I don't think it's even close

[austere comet]

Then you're wrong

[craggy vapor]

Smoker was only relevant pre-TS. Post-TS he has no relecance at all besides upscaling Doffy.

[austere comet]

Funny how prior to that spread I stated what I thought was obviously already the case in the manga

[thick mango]

Well agree to disagree, there's an equal chance you're wrong. Neither of us are oda

[graceful grove]

Oda and Koby will pay for their crimes

[austere comet]

Of Kuzan being integral to how the story shook out

[versed wigeon]

who decided that

[thick mango]

I actually am oda I just like to keep it subtle

[versed wigeon]

for all you know he could be oda

[craggy vapor]

Even Tashigi left Smoker she realized he is a fraud

[cosmic hamlet]

Dear oda, why do you always show skin for nami. You have no shame? She looks so much better with full clothes. Have you not seen how good she looks pre ts?

[thick mango]

I don't want to do it, it's an economic reality of appealing to my target audience

[cosmic hamlet]

Do we know if smoker is part of sword?

[austere comet]

Meaning, It's an indictement on the fandom that they needed a double spread to understand that a former admiral who's had one of the most dynamic character arc since literally Long Ring Long Land/was at Ohara amongst things, was a core character in the series.

Someone who put themselves on the crew of a final villain candidate/was one of the biggest looming mysteries over the entirety of post timeskip OP, isn't magically more relevant because of a single spread that ought have shifted nobodies perspective on him.

[austere comet]

No

I mean yes

He's a G-5 marine

That's a significant position on it's own.
Being in Sword isn't an upgrade from it, relative to what Smoker wants to do.

[cosmic hamlet]

For nami, more skin doesn't mean more hot. Which one of these 2 look more hot?

[cosmic hamlet]

Sword is not an upgrade i believe, it doesn't even have a hierarchical position in marines

[austere comet]

Yes.

[versed wigeon]

where her organs at 😭✌️

[austere comet]

Which is similar to G-5 as G-5 is apart from the mainstream machinating of the Navy

[cosmic hamlet]

Thats another issue, i want to talk about one issue at a time

[cosmic hamlet]

I see your point

[craggy vapor]

No idea. I can’t imagine Smoker taking orders from Luffy’s grandpa

[austere comet]

What crimes

Koby's in my top three

Smoker isn't

[rose rune]

the one with more skin

but these both have the same amount of skin

[cosmic hamlet]

Is there a hierarchy among swors?

[austere comet]

Smoker fans need to stop whining about a character who had 14 pages post timeskip in between the end of Whole Cake and start of Egghead, to work himself back into the story

[austere comet]

Break out of the groupthink

[cosmic hamlet]

You are turning into oda thigh

[rose rune]

I want the one with more loose skin and wrinkles

[cosmic hamlet]

Not same amount of skin showing to audience

[austere comet]

Koby came back and cried for Boa to surrender (which I predicted) and he bumbled and got Garp stabbed

[craggy vapor]

I don’t like Koby myself. His development is not believable. How could he fix his eyesight just by training doesn’t make sense. And he still wears glasses, but on top of his head. Weird dude.

[cosmic hamlet]

We have vascoshot for that

[austere comet]

Absolutely nothing he's done is a threat to Smoker's story or. replacing of him in the narrative

[rich hornet]

Fixing your astigmatism through effort is peak

[versed wigeon]

he might be wearing contacts

[craggy vapor]

Why the glasses tho?

[cosmic hamlet]

Smoker couldn't keep up with luffy growth, he realised it in punk hazard and he steps down from chasing luffy

[austere comet]

That's not what it means when you're a main character of the first New World arc proper and influence the events of Dressrosa through Fujitora, and then get sent to Vegapunk

[rich hornet]

He uses them just for reading. We’ve seen it

[austere comet]

No

[austere comet]

But also yes

[versed wigeon]

theyre blue ray glasses

[austere comet]

Punk Hazard punishes Smoker for his misguided pursuit similarly to how Alabasta beat Tashigi up for her weakness/limited moral scope

[craggy vapor]

Smoker should train with Akainu

[cosmic hamlet]

Tashigi also got sidelined along with smoker

[austere comet]

Because the whole point of his arc is to get him to stop chasing Luffy

But it's not a matter of him realizing anything related to power

They had the giant kids to take care of

[austere comet]

Was Koby sidelined when he had zero content for over a decade

[craggy vapor]

that and to establish Doffy as a threat. (although Kuzan low diffed him).

[austere comet]

What about Kuzan who's sole moment prior to Egghead was saving Smoker's life

His friends life

The same friend he shared his final pre-timeskip scene with

[cosmic hamlet]

Koby was sidelined for majority of one piece yeah

[austere comet]

We have different definitions of sidelined then

[craggy vapor]

Koby shoukd arrest Alvida

[cosmic hamlet]

He was sidelined till marineford

[versed wigeon]

dawg shes in a yonko crew

[cosmic hamlet]

He got haki in marineford and he slowly grown

[rich hornet]

YC3 Alvida? You think boy is ready for that?

[craggy vapor]

don’t matter. Koby can Honesty Impact that Yonko crew

[austere comet]

Nope

I have history behind me

Smoker will continue being a prominent reccuring character who inserts himself into the greater conflict in the world

[versed wigeon]

blud honesty impact ain doin shit to mihawk

[rich hornet]

Smoker’s role in the story isnt done, however we have more important Marines to deal with

[craggy vapor]

Mihawk will refuse fighting someone with bad eyesight

[austere comet]

Garp literally Kuzan says he owes him a favor in Long Ring for really helping him out.
Then he sleeps on his ship in post Enies Lobby.
Then he's a figure in a panel calling him cool in chapter 0.
Then everything after that was just fanon up until literally Egghead.
Zero zip nada between him and Kuzan.

[versed wigeon]

same guy who bullied don kreig btw 💔

[austere comet]

Kuzan mentions Smoker on Long Ring Long Land in a way that implies deeper familiarity.
They have their final pre time skip scene together

[rich hornet]

This is Don krieg upscale btw

[craggy vapor]

He didn’t fight Krieg for real. He just played with him cuz he had nothing better to do

[austere comet]

Kuzan returns to the story saving his life and bookending his PH character arc with literally virtually the same dialogue that Law gave Smoker to start it

Then he disappears for over a decade

[thick mango]

There are plenty of people like you who are absolutely certain of their ideas. But you can't all be right, some of the ideas are mutually exclusive.
In general I don't really find it interesting or fun to engage in people full of future certainty, I prefer engaging with people who deal with possibility and have the humility to admit they might be wrong.
Peace and love agree to disagree.

[austere comet]

It's because of smoker that we had that mystery start

[craggy vapor]

I like Smoker a lot. It’s a travesty how Oda made him a bum. His pre-TS design was peak.

[austere comet]

Now people are telling me that Smoker's second in command is apart from him for the first time in this multi decade story to witness what Kuzan did, and now Smoker is travelling with a mystery box plot point to find out what Kuzan did (once again, Smoker being one of Kuzan's main connections), and it's "not going to be close" in what they get?

[austere comet]

Whatever Kuzan gets has to have Smoker relative to it, to some degree

Period.
That isn't debatable.

Their stories are tied.

[craggy vapor]

Good news is Smoker will be relevant shortly when the Netflix series continues.

[thick mango]

Haha true it's back to his glory days

[austere comet]

And then on top of that Smoker has the inherent Luffy and Loguetown plot boost

[craggy vapor]

Is it wise to invest in Smoker stocks at this point? Maybe Oda will give him an EoS push.

[thick mango]

I think it's highly likely he'll be on the rebel side if there's a marine coup/schism

Fujitora as well. Kizaru maybe

[rich hornet]

If Smoker wasn’t a main loguetown character, he wouldn’t be worth talking about right now. But if Oda’s bringing it all back, there’s a good shot he had some kind of role left that isnt just being part of the good marine crowd

[scenic dirge]

I’d really like Kizaru to just be done with all this shit

And be too mentally exhausted and frustrated to want to even fight anymore

Bro should just retire on some island

[rich hornet]

I thought that was the point of him giving up on egghead

[scenic dirge]

Yea

But like going forward as well

Just not have the patience or will to keep fighting anyone’s battles after the shit he just had to do on egghead

[trim lily]

i dont know what role kizaru will even have going forward

[austere comet]

Yes

[trim lily]

i feel like nearly all of his little motivation he had to work should be gone

[austere comet]

There are some characters that are guaranteed easy buys

Smoker is one

[scenic dirge]

I don’t think he’s the type of character to now feel a resurgence of drive and uprising. I don’t really see him joining whatever internal marine revolt we end up getting

Unlike Fujitora, Smoker, all the sword characters

[rich hornet]

If Kizaru had it in him to rebel, he had the golden opportunity. We’ve seen his limit

[trim lily]

i could see him being alongside akainu a little longer before eventually swapping sides or just dropping out altogether

[scenic dirge]

Think egghead completed his character tbh

[trim lily]

for the most part yeah

i think theres a bit more to explore with his relationship with akainu

[austere comet]

To die to Blackbeard

[trim lily]

boo

[cosmic hamlet]

Imagine killing his own friend

Must have killed him

[rich hornet]

Loved the crashout with Sakazuki. If there’s any more to his character, it’s what happens when a salary man is pushed over the edge. Will he go full office space

[cosmic hamlet]

Can i post a cool nami picture out of nowhere

[rich hornet]

Not if it’s showing skin

[thick mango]

I do think that's justice for kizaru though

It's easy to be like whatever I'm doing a job when you're killing other people's friends and family

[versed wigeon]

those barely exist

[cosmic hamlet]

Its really clean and cool

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah there is definitely fault in his actions, but he atleast showed his discomfort openly

[austere comet]

Truuuu

Kizaru when he's pulling up on Fishmen freedom fighters 😎

Kizaru when he's choosing to murder a child he cares about 😭

[cosmic hamlet]

He is in the wrong when he killed tiger too

The fact that these marines never question is the biggest problem

Wait did he kill tiger? I always get confused

[prisma yacht]

Almost

tiger died due to blood loss

[cosmic hamlet]

Didn't i tell you to sleep?

[prisma yacht]

Technically he did

[cosmic hamlet]

Kids shouldn't stay awake past 10pm

[prisma yacht]

Y is you still up

Uncs shld sleep early

[cosmic hamlet]

I'm old enough to stay up late

[cosmic hamlet]

He was not there when tiger was killed i think

[prisma yacht]

It's gonna affect ur mind

[fallen meteor]

parked my car out because i was cleaning the garage and a random car decided to catch on fire right beside it

never moved so fast in my life holy shit

[cosmic hamlet]

Is your car safe?

[prisma yacht]

Yes but kizaru gave him the wounds from which he died

[fallen meteor]

yeah

[cosmic hamlet]

How did he give him wounds if he is not there?

[fallen meteor]

i ran up and drove it away

then i came back to help stop the fire

[prisma yacht]

😭

[thick mango]

Is zou luffys territory? Is there any sort of formality to the zou friendship/alliance?

[fallen meteor]

just an end of the year spice to life i guess lmao

[cosmic hamlet]

Not the correct order to be a good Samaritan but okay

[prisma yacht]

Wait ok mb gng

he didn't die here tho

[cosmic hamlet]

Yeah kizaru was not there when tiger sent koala

[thick mango]

After egghead do you think kizaru going rebel in a marine schism? Or maybe he'll just not participate? I can't see him going loyalist anymore

[prisma yacht]

Is everything alright

[fallen meteor]

i saw that everybody was out so it's time to save my car
then their car

lmao

[cosmic hamlet]

I always get this arlong panel confused with tiger

[fallen meteor]

yeah just a big scare and a lot of smoke

[prisma yacht]

Same lol

[cosmic hamlet]

[prisma yacht]

A sidequest

[cosmic hamlet]

Did you like the nami picture i sent

Are you a nami fan fronsen?

[prisma yacht]

I love strawhats

[cosmic hamlet]

[prisma yacht]

https://tenor.com/view/jojo-anime-yes-yes-yes-yeah-its-a-yes-gif-17161748

[prisma yacht]

What

[cosmic hamlet]

You are embarrassing yourself with that usopp name

[prisma yacht]

he is literally the goat

Ok wait let me explain

Do you remember what happened in dressrosa

?

[cosmic hamlet]

I thought its a reference to usopp getting ragnir

With the "soon"

[prisma yacht]

nah I just want it to happen but my name is a different thing

[cosmic hamlet]

Okay explain then

[prisma yacht]

^

[cosmic hamlet]

Yes

[thick mango]

I remember thinking at the beginning of elbaf that him being kinda scared and getting swatted by that cat might be the beginning of him rising above that kinda stuff but it's been so long with zero usopp mentions/progress/etc

[cosmic hamlet]

Usopp was worshipped by tontattas

[cosmic hamlet]

The last I remember of usopp is him being drunk and playing with the sword on jarul head

[cosmic hamlet]

Oh wait as i type i remember him in gunko fight

[thick mango]

The flashback has been too dang long

[cosmic hamlet]

Look at hajrudin teeth lol

[prisma yacht]

and hajrudin

[cosmic hamlet]

18 chapters so 6 months

[prisma yacht]

now that we know everyone in elbaf is friendly and everything was peaceful until now

also that everyone loves hajrudin

[cosmic hamlet]

Arguable but go ahead

[prisma yacht]

do you think he has not shared the details of the man who saved him

basically everyone will love usopp once they find out he is the same guy

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-god-dressrosa-usopp-god-usopp-gif-26183922

soon he is gonna inspire the giants

that theres still hope

[cosmic hamlet]

Nobody gonna listen to hajrudin

[grand flower]

Hajrudin SZN soon

[prisma yacht]

everyone loves hajrudin

[cosmic hamlet]

[prisma yacht]

cyg u in denial

[grand flower]

Hajrudin is the goat

[cosmic hamlet]

Maybe

[prisma yacht]

this is why its said uncs shld sleep in time

[thick mango]

I hope harudjin gets some focus. It kinda feels like he got usurped by loki

[trim lily]

famously

[prisma yacht]

get yo ass to bed

[trim lily]

oh whoop

[grand flower]

Yup. That’s cause hes gonna pop out and show niggas

[prisma yacht]

major loki hajrudin dynamic incoming

[thick mango]

One way to give harudjin the spotlight is domi loki away

[trim lily]

loki and hajrudin vs dorry and broggy

lock it in

[prisma yacht]

and usopp will inspire every other giant to not giveup

[grand flower]

They may just leave him there

Who knows

[thick mango]

Chained up? No way

[prisma yacht]

@cosmic hamlet do u see the vision

[thick mango]

We didn't go through 6 months of flashback to leave loki chained to the tree

[trim lily]

doing this entire 16 chapter flashback then they just decide "haha anyway we're leaving you here"

[cosmic hamlet]

There is no vision to see

[prisma yacht]

this man is blind yall

[grand flower]

Obv not for the rest of the arc

[cosmic hamlet]

The chains are already removed, only sea prison is left to remove

[hazy turret]

Flu season maybe

[formal wagon]

one piece i suppose

[grand flower]

Cause he’s sick af and you can’t handle it

[hazy turret]

He makes me sick when he’s on screen

Outside of lazy Nami and Robin, egghead outfits are the best post timeskip clothes

Nami's best outfit posttimeskip is one of the 3 outfits in Whole Cake Island, Robin's best posttimeskip outfit is uh

[cold steppe]

I like nami wci and robin onigashima

[quiet ice]

What God is god valley referring to you thing

[rich hornet]

[quiet ice]
