[frigid gulch]

When does Kid appear

[brittle basin]

He called Imu a clown. Buggy upscale.

[frigid gulch]

[hot cairn]

imagine @thick mango ‘s and @grand flower ‘s dreams come true and Imu actually gets defeated here

[prisma yacht]

Soon

Ok but why was imu being a dumbass this chapter

[hazy turret]

When does Garp stop being a bum

[hot cairn]

he’s probably getting cooked next chapter

[brittle basin]

Imu will not get defeated here. I'm still guessing the flower room.

[frigid gulch]

When did he start

[hazy turret]

When he joined the marines

[brittle basin]

Garp is my CD defending king.

[red lagoon]

Idk I think it’s stupid going against what oda says because u think it’s wrong but whatever

[hazy turret]

Probably but I’ll always enjoy when characters trash talk

[frigid gulch]

So you’re saying it’s bad to save lives

[red lagoon]

Oda uses Rayleigh as a voice to explain haki to us the readers why would it be wrong

[hot cairn]

yeah that was pretty good actually

[lofty fern]

Doesn't he technically have only one pattern? He's wearing a mostly solid cape with solid pants and over skirt, though the one over that is striped. I guess the sash and body tatts give off the appearance of more patterns than there really are on his outfit

[ashen perch]

It will be. The Yonko Saga was slightly above 400 chapters, this is already above 120 chapters

[frigid gulch]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-one-piece-anime-anime-loki-elbaph-gif-14940225124736743264

[brittle basin]

eyes are a pattern. stripes are a pattern. dots are a pattern. and the tail arguably creates a swirling pattern.

[ashen perch]

Yonko Saga ends with 1055 I think? And Starts in 650s. So around 400

[frigid gulch]

Revenge soon

[lunar bison]

Bro i already proved oda makes characters say false ignorant shit. So just becsuse one character says something doesnt mesn its fact.

2 I explained that multiple characters who have Conquerors haki are weaker than other characters who have Conquerors haki when that haki is taken out of the equation of their power so for it to be proportionate to their strength is false

[hot cairn]

1057

[grand flower]

I’d laugh so much

[ashen perch]

Ah yeah still

400

[lofty fern]

I was talking more his clothes rather than his body

[glacial bear]

Imu dementia is Big Mom dementia upscale!

[hot cairn]

then yeah @wraith mantle it’ll be just as long, if not longer

[lunar bison]

This is talking about knocking people out in fishman island lol

[hot cairn]

no Dragon defeating him tho

[grand flower]

Oda says it’s directly dependent on your individual strength

[hot cairn]

if that happens

[red lagoon]

Oda is using Rayleigh as a voice to explain how haki works to us the reader why would he lie u gotta understand oda speaks to us through the characters I think u just looking to deep into it

[ashen perch]

Btw, do we know for sure that its not Imu's tail going around him? That its a sash? I really liked the tail idea...

[grand flower]

Be crazy cause dragons role will be even greater than I imagined

[brittle basin]

his clothes would be the stripes and belt only then. so just stripes and some dots. not much

[raven ridge]

Does King Punch have acoc coating?

[prisma yacht]

xD

[hot cairn]

no way you’d think Dragon defeats BB if that happens

[glacial bear]

Yes!!

[lofty fern]

https://tenor.com/view/emperors-new-groove-bring-it-on-llama-chew-taunt-gif-4557826

[lunar bison]

Lol shanks and rayleighs strength comes from their fucking conquerors.
Without it they are weaker than many other conquerors haki users without theirs

[brittle basin]

i was asking this question as well, i couldn't tell if it's part of his cloak or his body

[grand flower]

Whoa lol

[raven ridge]

Imu is cooked

[hot cairn]

it’s his tail

[glacial bear]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-elizabello-one-piece-elisabello-one-piece-king-punch-one-piece-pica-one-piece-gif-24812110

[ashen perch]

This chapter didn't exactly make it clear, but I'll check again

[red lagoon]

There’s alot that goes into strength in one piece

[hot cairn]

it is clear

[hot cairn]

[brittle basin]

what if the tail is haki lol

[glacial bear]

Look at that ACOC 🤩

[lunar bison]

Shanks is weaker than big mom if their conquerors haki is excluded.
Its a fsr more significant proportion/element of shanks strength than it is for big mom

[red lagoon]

I still think it’s stupid to go against what oda tells us directly

[hazy turret]

I am taking the entire design into account here, including the the halo of eyes, clouds, that weird black ribbon with the skulls. The shape and patterns on the hair. Oda really just needed to look at him again and taken one thing off at least

[grand flower]

@glacial bear DID OBA WIN OR LOSE

[soft tangle]

Did Oda tell us you can have supreme king by having a yonko parent

[lunar bison]

I think its stupid to still be coming up with poor rebuttals to a factual explanation

[hazy turret]

Ma?

[hot cairn]

what are you debating Sharon?

[grand flower]

Crazy he can just do this

[brittle basin]

I would like to know whose skulls those are and what caused the skulls to be opened up to begin with.

[lofty fern]

I can see that, it is a lot

[grand flower]

It’s WWE

[grand flower]

Huh??? Do you think I’m your mom???

[hot cairn]

ah nvm

[red lagoon]

So u know more about one piece than the man who writes it?

[glacial bear]

I haven’t watched Mania yet. I didn’t catch last night or started night 2 today yet either 😭 I’ve been staying off YouTube and other social medias to avoid spoilers. Only been using Netflix and playing outside lol

[grand flower]

Two options btw

[ashen perch]

I'm not watching but I saw that he did

[lunar bison]

Do you think rogers stronger than kaidou without the inclusion of conquerors.

[soft tangle]

He wouldn’t be

[grand flower]

Pretend I never asked!

Ardal don’t answer!

[lunar bison]

No i just understand his story and the wsy he writes better than guys like you.

[glacial bear]

I’m contemplating getting ESPN or pirating it lol

[brittle basin]

I like that confidence.

[red lagoon]

Gang u just said straight up Rayleigh was debunked on his explanation of haki

[ashen perch]

I deleted dw

[red lagoon]

That’s u saying oda is wrong about how haki works

[lunar bison]

Oda has regularly been made to look stupid by fans snd those who ask questions.
Highlighting the inconsistencies in his story

[hot cairn]

wait @ashen perch do we count Fishman Island as the start of the Yonko saga because of BM at the end?

[red lagoon]

Oda used Rayleigh to explain Haki to us

[lunar bison]

Yeah he was.

[grand flower]

Definitely pirate, matey

[ashen perch]

Officially its Punk Hazard

[hot cairn]

okok

[lunar bison]

If Rayleighs statement wss true.

It would mean physical strength correlates to ones conquerors haki level which is false

[raven ridge]

IMO Yonko saga begins when Law and Luffy form an alliance

[grand flower]

I wanna reread punk hazard

[red lagoon]

Ok

[hot cairn]

so punk hazard

[raven ridge]

Yuh

[brittle basin]

I also want to see Smoker as Tashigi again.

[hot cairn]

my least favorite post time skip arc

[grand flower]

It means your Hao gets stronger when you get stronger overall. Not necessarily how much raw power. Just general improvement

[hot cairn]

I miss Smoker

[red lagoon]

U like fmi more?

[grand flower]

[hot cairn]

yeah because of the lore and the flashback

it also has the blood transfusion scene

that’s one of the greatest OP moments

[glacial bear]

We need that Rayleigh flashback

[hot cairn]

Punk Hazard doesnt have that type of highs

it’s a set up arc

it does it’s job well

[lunar bison]

Bro you csnt just pick and choose.
He said its only as strong as you are.
Which is already false.

Becsuse roger isnt the physically strongest conquerors haki user.
Nor is he physically stronger than the likes of big mom, kaidou, Whitebeard, Loki

[red lagoon]

I think I would judge arcs different if I read them over watching them

[brittle basin]

Kaido was impressed with Roger's haki. That's all I remember.

[grand flower]

It’s special to me. Understand I experienced this weekly

[grand flower]

It’s not about pure physical strength

[dark nymph]

lucky bastard

[lunar bison]

What strength then. Mental lol

[brittle basin]

Man, I should grab all HQ scans I can of the manga up to this date.

haki is willpower, whatever that means

i guess mental-ish?

drive?

desire?

[lunar bison]

If haki is taken out of the equation the only metric of strength is physical and fruit powers lol

[brittle basin]

yeah for sure

[hot cairn]

I went and counted @ashen perch @wraith mantle the Yonko saga is 403 chapters long

[grand flower]

Idk how to explain it to ya it’s just your power level overall

[lunar bison]

Lol

Thst power level comes from conquerors

[wraith mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/league-of-legends-dumbo-drinking-water-t1-drinking-dumbo-drinking-water-gif-5833717593105737590

[hot cairn]

I read them all for the first time, the anime wouldve taken me out with the awful pacing lol

[wraith mantle]

we will die before one piece ends

[grand flower]

It’s meant to be a nebulous concept so Oda can do whatever he wants with it

[brittle basin]

but haki i guess is a kind of power level, insofar as such a thing can be described by OP's standards.

[grand flower]

Your Hao is as strong as your power level

[red lagoon]

Ima read one piece form the start in the manga

[lunar bison]

Its a poor half assed concept

[red lagoon]

I’ve never experienced pre dressrossa in the manga

[grand flower]

Not really because it doesn’t need a nitty gritty breakdown

[hot cairn]

well, we’re already 122 chapters in on the final saga (it might be longer than the Yonko saga)

[red lagoon]

Sometimes u ppl just be going to into ts fr

[grand flower]

“Your Hao corresponds to how strong you are as a fighter” is enough for a battle shonen

[lunar bison]

Thsts a different statement lol

Thats not what rayleigh said

[red lagoon]

That means the same thing no?

[lunar bison]

Lol I take that back

[hot cairn]

I guess so, but Punk Hazard weekly sounds like a drag to me I’m ngl to you . I think it’s just because I don’t vibe with Law more. My sister loves Law and she’s a big fan of Punk Hazard.

[lunar bison]

Thats pretty much what Rayleigh said

But my main point still stands lol

[red lagoon]

I’m glad I caught up when I caught up

[hot cairn]

it’s peak

[red lagoon]

I caught up right a bit the raid in wano

And I think roofpiece had already started in the manga

Or just about to start

[lunar bison]

Conquerors hski corresponding to ones strength mskes no sense when Conquerors hski is literally an element of a person's strength.
Their are other elements to what makes someone powerful

[graceful belfry]

Law’s “destroyed the gears” speech is the peak of this arc imo

[brittle basin]

I caught up when big mom and kaido split the skies.

[grand flower]

That’s what I’ve been getting at and it’s what Rayleigh says yeah. It improves as you improve

[red lagoon]

I remember watching week by week and toei leaked zoros coc

[grand flower]

Fuckin love it, still get goosebumps

That shit came true too

[lunar bison]

It improves as you improve. What does that mean lol.
Improve in what way your physical strength, your fruit, your mental toughness

[royal orchid]

full of mountain slashers in this damn series

[grand flower]

It’s just a tool. Just like Zoro can make the most of powerful swords by becoming more powerful himself. Your Haki becomes a more useful and powerful tool the more powerful you are overall

[lunar bison]

So if a conquerors haki uses scientific weaponry.
If they build more powerful tech does their conquerors become stronger lol

[grand flower]

They’re not improving

[lunar bison]

Lol what

[brittle basin]

I think you're overthinking this and putting more effort into it than Oda himself did.

[lunar bison]

Thsts a clear improvement

[hot cairn]

me too, I caught up exactly on chapter 988/989 (I don’t remember now) just as the start of the raid. When did you caught up?

[wraith mantle]

lowkey i am fine with one piece taking as long as it takes

[lunar bison]

Yeah I know it was a half assed concept and thats why were here arguing about it

[grand flower]

They didn’t get stronger

[lunar bison]

Because its not consistent

[wraith mantle]

i want this story to do it right rather than do it quick

[hot cairn]

roof piece was so peak weekly

[hot cairn]

yeah me too

I don’t mind the long wait

[wraith mantle]

i will bitch about setup chapters tho

[hot cairn]

yeah with that I can agree

[lunar bison]

Yes they did. If a scientific based fighter enhances their combat prowess with more powerful weapons. They are literally becoming stronger

[wraith mantle]

:caught:

[brittle basin]

Yeah I agree it's not as clear cut and dry as maybe we would like. But I guess that's to Oda's advantage narratively, haki can do what the plot needs it to do more or less.

[hot cairn]

LOL those are necessary

[hot cairn]

it’s surreal that we can see the domino effect that started on PH and ended in Wano. What a great second act ngl.

[pulsar timber]

One piece started in the right era

The powers that be wouldn’t let Oda do the long arcs and build up that he’s been doing forever

[urban lodge]

One piece would definitely get cancelled if it started today lol

[hot cairn]

I think this was the chapter I caught up on

[wraith mantle]

imu design is good but he lowkey gives femboy

[hot cairn]

989

[pulsar timber]

Not cancelled but we probably get a dramatically different story

[blazing depot]

I used to make incel chud jokes about Imu now it’s nonchalant lightskin jokes

[wraith mantle]

one piece would have been pressured to rush things

[blazing depot]

Ladiessssss im tryna use my mother flame… leave me alone type shi

https://tenor.com/view/lightskin-master-lightskin-prestige-lightskinned-light-skin-dude-light-skin-guy-gif-25457550

[hot cairn]

nah it def would’ve gotten cancelled if it went how it did now

[urban lodge]

Yeah I'm saying if Oda took the same approach

[pallid niche]

a lot of evil overlords in Japanese media look like beautiful feminine men and that's okay :3

[brittle basin]

Very good shot.

[wraith mantle]

not good!

[pallid niche]

whynot?!

[pulsar timber]

So funny how we are very casually in the middle of a 55 chapter arc and other shonen fandoms freak out when an arc last more than 25 chapters

[brittle basin]

https://tenor.com/view/call-out-shout-out-ken-jeong-gif-3856558617789280823

[red lagoon]

One piece 100000% couldn’t come out today as it is

[pallid niche]

is that how bad modern shounen fandoms are 😭 smh

[glacial bear]

Wait he was in that movie with ice cube and Kevin hart

[wraith mantle]

one piece is the only series i follow do other fandoms really freak out like thjat? lol

[red lagoon]

I don’t think it’s bad

[brittle basin]

what film?

[red lagoon]

Niggas just don’t watch long shit like this anymore

[brittle basin]

Ken is pretty popular

[pallid niche]

i hope we'll see a resurgence of longer narratives once one piece ends

[pulsar timber]

As a higher being I’m no longer affected by mortal trifles like pacing so I prefer long form stuff over short stories

[red lagoon]

Lowkey I prefer shorter stories but one piece still my favourite

[glacial bear]

I forgot but basically Kevin is dating or married ice cube’s sister and they’re both cops

[pallid niche]

one piece isn't even the longest ongoing work of fiction im following lol

[brittle basin]

Manga become longer (at least in Shonen) if they are popular and the author has got what it takes to keep it going.

[pulsar timber]

Yeah. Seen a few other shonen where there will be a mega arc that’s like 40 chapters and people wanting things to end already

[pallid niche]

the Cosmere is longer i think

[brittle basin]

Cosmere is huge, yes

[wraith mantle]

https://klipy.com/gifs/laughing-duck-3

[pulsar timber]

There’s no way I’m reading everything in the comsmere

[brittle basin]

ASOIAF is massive as well

[pallid niche]

massively unfinished 😭

[brittle basin]

and then there's the wheel of fucking time

[wraith mantle]

i shouldn't have started warbreaker after OB

[pallid niche]

i read wheel of time over the course of 2023

[wraith mantle]

is the wheel of time part of the cosmere?

[brittle basin]

i only read the mainline Stormlight books

[pallid niche]

no but it was finished by the same author

[wraith mantle]

i see

[brittle basin]

Wheel of Time was finished by Brandon, but it's another author's IP.

[glacial bear]

Ohhh wait he was also in hangover

[hot cairn]

yeah I think this is why no other manga compares to OP for me, I just love long form stories

[hot cairn]

what is?

[brittle basin]

I also love short stories.

Stephen King is great at them

[pallid niche]

i do think/hope we will see more longer manga once One Piece ends

[brittle basin]

Death Note is proof sometimes you only need 12 volumes

[hot cairn]

I don’t think so, it’s another world

[pallid niche]

the Cosmere

[hot cairn]

people yearn for short term content

and want everything NOW

[brittle basin]

Cowboy Bebop had one season and is one of the great pieces of fiction I've ever consumed

[glacial bear]

It was more common back in the 90’s or 2000’s

[wraith mantle]

have u read land of the lustrous?

[glacial bear]

Now, a lot of series are very short

[pulsar timber]

We used to be real readers back in the day

[brittle basin]

Don't even know the name.

[glacial bear]

Because of people’s attention span & impatience

Because of people’s attention span & impatience

Because of people’s attention span & impatience

Because of people’s attention span & impatience

Because of people’s attention span & impatience

[hot cairn]

oh no idea

[glacial bear]

Woah wtf

[wraith mantle]

its also an excellent example a manga doesn't need more than 13 chapters

[pallid niche]

idunno the enduring popularity of One Piece indicates that people still love longer-form narratives. not everybody is a tiktok head 😭 maybe im just too optimistic

[pulsar timber]

Ban this guy

[glacial bear]

WHAT THE FUCK

[brittle basin]

Buffy is 7 seasons, but that's not even a good thing necessarily.

[dark nymph]

we get it

[wraith mantle]

i highly recommend it if you ever wanna pick up a new short manga

[pallid niche]

oh i agree a lot of shorter stories can be beautiful too

[hot cairn]

OP wasnt as popular as it is now worldwide tho, it took some time

[glacial bear]

I have no idea why it sent 5 times 😂

[brittle basin]

let me look it up.....after I finish Haikyuu sweats

[red lagoon]

My antention spam is cooked

[pallid niche]

tbh aren't some Korean manhwa stories shaping up to be as long as One Piece even now

[wraith mantle]

its like top 10 in most manga tier lists so i aint gonna pretend its a niche recc by me

[pallid niche]

attention spam 😋

[hot cairn]

Fr, twas the last crew shot that we had

[wraith mantle]

????

[glacial bear]

Is that the volleyball manga

[hot cairn]

been a while

[wraith mantle]

really?

[red lagoon]

Oopsies😭

[red lagoon]

Ye

[wraith mantle]

can you give an example of such manhwa

[glacial bear]

https://tenor.com/view/staind-its-been-awhile-gif-9954395084979558007

[stone terrace]

Blue lock at its current pace is gonna go longer than one piece

😭

[brittle basin]

ah you were right. only 13 volumes. that's nice. I'm knee deep in Kowloon Generic Romance, and it looks like it will cap off at 11-12 volumes and I love that about it

[hot cairn]

lmaooo

[brittle basin]

Yeah. Pretty great stuff.

[glacial bear]

I’ve heard it was good from irl friends

Hmm. Maybe I’ll check it out

[pallid niche]

Tower of God for example

[wraith mantle]

last romcom i watched was kaguya sama, and it was lowkey peak

need to give this genre more chances

[brittle basin]

It's simple and to the point and know what it wants to be: dudes overcoming the ins and outs of volleyball and brotherhood and comraderie.

[wraith mantle]

i see

[brittle basin]

Tower of Me

[glacial bear]

Pot of Greed

[graceful belfry]

@hot cairn I’m with you. I miss Wano too lol

[brittle basin]

how did that go for the two on the left and right?

[graceful belfry]

[stone terrace]

Luffy technically hasnt fought a pirate except scopper for the last 2 arcs

[iron oriole]

One MIA/KIA, the other MIA & about to be picked up & blackmailed by SWORD/Sengoku

[wraith mantle]

shanks did kidd and his fans so dirty bro

[brittle basin]

Goda

[wraith mantle]

actual nasty work

[stone terrace]

The godking takes no prisoners

[iron oriole]

Kid got what his cocky ass had coming to him

[wraith mantle]

completely demolished the entire fandom

[iron oriole]

Why you bringing up Buggy?

[brittle basin]

However, Bepo upscale.

Actually, Bepo upscale is a Chopper upscale too.

[hot cairn]

holy peak @grand flower

man

Wano is so good actually

[grand flower]

Not if they themselves aren’t getting stronger. I didn’t get stronger by buying a bigger gun

[brittle basin]

alright, i checked out the art for land of the lustrous. you have my attention.

[iron oriole]

Tell that to 40k Orkz

[wraith mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/i-used-to-pray-for-times-like-this-celebrating-gif-6529507804860980052

[graceful belfry]

Easily one of the best arcs.

[wraith mantle]

oh, dont watch the anime btw, just stick to the manga

[hot cairn]

oh that’s true

[brittle basin]

I'm trying to not watch anime nowadays unless it's like anime only or old school OVAs. I want to focus more on manga.

[hot cairn]

there used to be so many kid users here

[hot cairn]

absolutely

[brittle basin]

Like, I'll happily watch Cyberpunk Edgerunners for example.

[graceful belfry]

Manga is better anyways (:

[iron oriole]

They literally all vanished its so funny

[pulsar timber]

It’s my favorite but elbaf may have a chance to crack my top 3 or even challenge wano depending on how the rest goes

[stone terrace]

The week leading up to shanks vs kidd was legendary

[brittle basin]

Berserk, my beloved.

[wraith mantle]

i see only anime original

btw have u watched arcane?

[brittle basin]

Yes. LOVE it

[wraith mantle]

peak

[iron oriole]

The cope from Kid fans was hilarious

[brittle basin]

but I'm only halfway through season 2

[hot cairn]

it was hilarious

[iron oriole]

Especially those that thought it was going to be an actual fight

[graceful belfry]

I’m not sure I’ll like Elbaf more, at this point. Wano is just too special, and it’s not even my favorite One Piece arc lol

[wraith mantle]

i imagine the spoilers were CHAOTIC

[stone terrace]

Oh yeah

[wraith mantle]

please tell me that chapter fell on april fools day

[pulsar timber]

How does Oda do it

[hot cairn]

Rei is right

[iron oriole]

Truly a time of all times to be a OP fan

[hot cairn]

Wano is so special

[urban lodge]

Sadly it wasn't april fools

[pulsar timber]

The shanks vs kid fight is one of the few times this manga has genuinely shocked me

[urban lodge]

It was like february or march

[stone terrace]

The denial, the bargaining, the acceptance

[hot cairn]

I used to read spoilers at the time

[pulsar timber]

The void century arc is the only arc I’m certain can absolutely contend it for me. Whatever arc that flashback is part of

[wraith mantle]

and toei did such a phenomenal job of animating it

that episode was actually a work of art

[balmy lava]

you avoid spoilers now?

I last like a day

[hot cairn]

and the messages were flying by lmao

[pulsar timber]

I stopped reading spoilers the week where they lied about Sanji breaking his leg on a seraphim

[red lagoon]

Gang

I was fighting for my life

[brittle basin]

I survive the spoilers as I usually do, with minimal effort.

[hot cairn]

yeah I’ve been spoiler free since 1096. I fell like once or twice but I try to stay spoiler free

[iron oriole]

Was that the same week as the people saying Sanji took S-Sharks arm?

[pulsar timber]

I used to until elbaf. Half of all chapters I’ve been spoiled on its crazy

[brittle basin]

smh

[pulsar timber]

I don’t believe so. It was early egghead.

[brittle basin]

you will be better

[graceful belfry]

This is some WorstGen shit lol

[urban lodge]

I somehow trained by twitter algorithm not to spoil me

[hot cairn]

for me it’s that and whatever the BB arc ends up being

[urban lodge]

It only took blocking a couple thousand accounts

[iron oriole]

Same ||i dont have twitter||

[graceful belfry]

After Lodestar, please Oda 🙏

And make it saucy

[hot cairn]

I know Oda will cook for the BB arc

he been waiting even longer than us for it

longer than the Wano wait

[brittle basin]

You should probably get a gold medal for that.

[graceful belfry]

I need chapters with eight consecutive double page spreads each

[brittle basin]

I need chapters that give me what I want

But I don't know what I want.

[graceful belfry]

I just want good story, good characters, and good usage of the medium

Oda can do whatever he wants otherwise

[dark nymph]

I want more Loki

[iron oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/wannabe-spice-girls-gif-14567987236117955946

[hot cairn]

how many arcs do you think the story has left Rei ?

[dark nymph]

if Imu one shots his ass next chapter im tweaking out, but it wont happen

[graceful belfry]

Five, max

[brittle basin]

their worst song btw

i'm a big spice girls fan

[iron oriole]

True

[hot cairn]

and what are those?

[dense rapids]

I just realized if Luffy fights at the holy land he won’t have any food 😂😂

[brittle basin]

oh shit lol

that's kind of funny

Luffy eats Charlos 😈

[iron oriole]

Dw Luffy will pack pocket meat

[dense rapids]

Bro might jump off the red line to find a meal

[iron oriole]

https://tenor.com/view/luffy-pocket-meat-one-piece-yeah-gif-11559162

[dense rapids]

They need streusen 😂😂

[graceful belfry]

All we absolutely need is Lodestar, Mariejois, a Blackbeard centric arc, and Laughtale. But I think Oda’s going to throw in some unpredictable detours and the structure of the Final War itself will determine a lot, if I had to guess

[hot cairn]

he’s def losing that encounter

[brittle basin]

Would Streusen's food work on Luffy?

[dark nymph]

losing is fine, just put up a fight

[iron oriole]

Its filling right? It just tastes like shit?

[dense rapids]

Luffy to Charlos 🤣🤣🤣

[graceful belfry]

Lmfao

[brittle basin]

does it have nutrition? i don't even remember

[hot cairn]

yeah that’s fair, I agree too. I think wherever next arc is will be the Luffy and Shanks meet up.

[brittle basin]

i guess it's empty calories basically? like eating a bunch of rice?

[graceful belfry]

I actually do wonder how Luffy or Sanji would feel about the concept of starving enemies out

[brittle basin]

although luffy likes rice

[dark nymph]

kinda exciting that no one confidently knows what the next arc after this one will be

[graceful belfry]

Not that I need to think much about it, I just wanna see their reaction on page

[dark nymph]

at least as a community

[brittle basin]

Does Sanji have it in him to starve out the CDs? Would even he make an exception for them? I assume he would feed them.

[glacial bear]

HAHA

[graceful belfry]

He’d absolutely feed them

No doubt in my mind

[brittle basin]

This has gotta be a top tier fruit from a survivability standpoint, and money saving standpoint.

[hot cairn]

that’s interesting, I don’t see Sanji vibing with that

[hot cairn]

reminds me of post Wano

[iron oriole]

Yeah its S tier in that regards

[hot cairn]

I’m intrigued by what could be next

[iron oriole]

Could turn grass into a nice meal etc

[brittle basin]

Sanji the type of dude to feed a serial killer while he's actively stabbing Sanji.

[hot cairn]

my guess is the shanks meet up

because Loki knows where he’s at

[iron oriole]

Vira arc real

[graceful belfry]

The long awaited Shanks and Luffy link up feels like it’s gotta happen within the next two arcs

[dark nymph]

Yano arc real

[hot cairn]

we already have the set up

[graceful belfry]

Hinokizu stuff…well, ask Arsal. I’m sure he’s got an answer for where that’ll fit in at

[pallid niche]

tbh i remember ppl speculated about the end of Wano being that

[graceful belfry]

Yeee

Yeah

People speculated a lot about post-Wano stuff

Didn’t really amount to much

[dark nymph]

Garp rescue perhaps?

Pudding too

[hot cairn]

I honestly have no idea who could it be, I’m just going to let Oda surprise me

[grand flower]

I agree

[hot cairn]

wdym?

[pallid niche]

my fav was "Ryokugyu is coming to party with the Straw Hats and be a good buddy w them"

[hot cairn]

Well

almost right

[graceful belfry]

It’s so intrinsically linked to the location of Laughtale that I’m under the impression it won’t be anytime soon

[hot cairn]

[hot cairn]

yep, I agree

[iron oriole]

To think GB actually thought he was him

[hot cairn]

it’ll be more likely towards the end

[iron oriole]

Even if Shanks wasn't there, bro would have got cooked if he made it past Yamato & the Scabbards

[hot cairn]

also since he’s always on the move at sea, a naval war arc would be awesome if Oda chooses to not do an island arc for the burn scar man

[red lagoon]

Yee Greenbull not beatin the whole sh crew😭😭

[iron oriole]

Dumb tree

[brittle basin]

this is still without a doubt the greatest OP image we've created so far

[hot cairn]

remember in post Wano when people were saying that Elbaph was getting skipped

[brittle basin]

egghead was a surprise I will say

[balmy lava]

after next chapter....

[brittle basin]

a welcome one though

[hot cairn]

I was expecting a Vegapunk arc, but not how it went down

[pallid niche]

so many failed predictions hahah

[brittle basin]

make the rainbow evil too

[pallid niche]

"Elbaf is being skipped"

[hot cairn]

when people were thinking that the arc after Wano was going to be the last I always said that there should be a Vegapunk arc and a Elbaph arc

[balmy lava]

actually, domi-reversi Adam makes sense why Loki would destroy it.

[hot cairn]

and we got both so I’m good

[pallid niche]

"Ryokugyu is a good guy just like Fujitora and he's coming to befriend everyone in Wano"

[iron oriole]

Genuinely the dumbest thing ever... like yeah we're totally gonna skip the island that LITERALLY EVERYONE has been waiting for & THE MC has been waiting for

[grand flower]

Aramaki was warning Wano because his parents were born there. Trust me

[formal wagon]

why is there no break this week

is oda okay

[grand flower]

Aramaki, Sakazuki, Kuzan and Issho all have parents born in Wano

Trust me

[hot cairn]

yeah people were ridiculous

[formal wagon]

he needs to take a break. we've been getting WAY too many chapters

[pallid niche]

"the Gorosei are just regular politicians"

[brittle basin]

work oda harder

[grand flower]

You’re right planet earth

[brittle basin]

mush

[hot cairn]

LOL

@trim lily that’s you

[formal wagon]

get the editors to do another road to laughtale

[pallid niche]

we're getting the normal amnt of chapters!!!

[formal wagon]

[brittle basin]

i want 5 chapters per week

[iron oriole]

Gorosei not being fighters was a funny time

[pallid niche]

"the raid will fail"

[formal wagon]

no.WAY TOO MANY

[trim lily]

it’s me

[brittle basin]

Act 4 soon.

[formal wagon]

the raid did fail

this is all a dream

[hot cairn]

people swore they were just politicians

[grand flower]

Why I gotta be a loser tho

[iron oriole]

Morj is never living that down btw, that is his legacy "the raid will fail" guy

[trim lily]

everyone is a loser relative to earth

[grand flower]

Facts

[formal wagon]

thats not what that emote means

[grand flower]

Oh thank god

[brittle basin]

he should get it tattooed

[formal wagon]

sorry you went through that scare

[hot cairn]

people have been telling him that Elbaph will fail and he keeps saying that’s not going to happen

[dark nymph]

I just know when OP is on its final chapters, people are gonna reference the raid failing soon

[hot cairn]

so now the arc might end in failure

[grand flower]

My heart could have stopped

[hot cairn]

[iron oriole]

[grand flower]

“The final war will fail”

[balmy lava]

Anybody think Elbaf surviving this time around?

[formal wagon]

i got the color walks

[hot cairn]

I do

[grand flower]

Nah. It looks like a nuke going off for a reason

[hot cairn]

I don’t think Elbaph will be destroyed

[formal wagon]

GODA IS PUTTING THIS LAND OF FRAUDS INTO THE GROUND

[grand flower]

Imu will destroy Elbaph

[hot cairn]

that’s not what the villains want

[balmy lava]

I think Loki is going to be the one to destroy it.

[formal wagon]

Lbaf will be 2000 leagues under the sea in 10 chaps

unless eustass saves it

[pallid niche]

oh!!!

[iron oriole]

Nah Loki & Luffy will, Imu wants to preserve & rule it

[formal wagon]

eustass is elbaf's only hope

[grand flower]

Imu, Akainu and Rob Lucci will destroy Elbaph

Loki will rip off Imus head

[pallid niche]

"Imu is Rocks" how did that EVER become a theory

[formal wagon]

its a good theory

[hot cairn]

what is buddy cooking

[formal wagon]

subjectively

[formal wagon]

fire

[deep chasm]

Kid saves Luffy from Imu

[balmy lava]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-jessie-jesse-walter-white-gif-18718878

[hot cairn]

I’m still surprised Kid is nowhere to be found

[balmy lava]

Just like Luffy is destined to destroy Eve, I think Loki will destroy Adam. It was arguably forshadowed he would do it, and I think he has to do it to save the day for now.

[hot cairn]

I really thought he was going to be part of the arc

[dark nymph]

you and all the people who voted for Lucci in the poll know something we dont

[glacial bear]

Lucci the goat

[formal wagon]

kid and heaven realm are the great will they wont theys of elbaf

[grand flower]

Rocks, you are avenged

[formal wagon]

you could say the great will they won't thems

[hot cairn]

[iron oriole]

Mailbox tf are you saying rn

[frigid gulch]

Let him cook

[formal wagon]

one day you'll understand.

[iron oriole]

On some Zolo type shit

[formal wagon]

i read chapter 1 of the ace novel.

[brittle basin]

how bad was it?

[balmy lava]

you can argue drum island, god valley....ect are all dead trees. Potentially destroyed by the D to prevent Imu from using their energy to fuel his evil.

[dark nymph]

I heard it was good

[brittle basin]

drum island being a former tree is a cool theory

[grand flower]

@formal wagon kid is in Davy jones locker because that’s where descendants of Davy jones go instead of the afterlife which is also how teach survives eating multiple fruits

[brittle basin]

are you saying BB has a locker inside him?

[grand flower]

Stump island

[brittle basin]

lol

[grand flower]

Yes a deep one

[formal wagon]

/genuine the prose is not good. Its makes me feel embarrassed to be a one piece fan/ be reading it because its so obviously written for kids, but i will suffer it to its conclusion for science

[brittle basin]

baby story smh

[formal wagon]

fire. is there a way eustass can also be a vegapunk and this too

[iron oriole]

Davy Jones descendant did the deed with Lilith & boom Kid arrived

[grand flower]

Absolutely

Do I know how?

Not yet

But I will

[graceful belfry]

Anything man can dream of is a possibility in reality

[grand flower]

If I were a Marine, my motto would be Optimistic Justice

If Koby is Honest Justice, maybe he’ll be instrumental in exposing Imu and the WG

A honest World Government is the future

#PinkMamba

[graceful belfry]

I wanna ask you if you think Garp is complacent?

Or rather, has he done enough to change the things he obviously dislikes about the system? “Complacent” seems like a mischaracterization

[brittle basin]

If I were a Marine, I would ask to keep an eye on marine life, so I can get paid to go scuba diving and hopefully not get eaten by a sea king.

[graceful belfry]

Marine biologist

[brittle basin]

No, I want a cooler title

[graceful belfry]

Hey

That is a cool title

[brittle basin]

Diversaurus-Rex, for example.

[grand flower]

Not at all. This is a fantasy so I think Garp will be the fantasy of being able to make a real difference from within the system

When the keel hits the wave, a substantial amount of marines will fight for the world against Imu. That will happen because of, in significant part, the lessons and example Garp set as a beloved figure, teacher and hero

[graceful belfry]

Word. I see that. I agree too

[grand flower]

I think Oda’s done a lot to show why staging a coup isn’t viable, and why staying with the marines is more appealing than becoming a vigilante

I think Garp works great becausw the world is so well constructed

[graceful belfry]

I’ve been thinking of ways in which Koby’s path will differ from Garp’s or if it’ll be a situation where he follows directly in Garp’s footsteps and keeps that cycle going

[grand flower]

I think Koby will simply have the benefit of Joy boy and Davy’s champions both being active

Garp had close contenders in Roger and rocks but it wasn’t meant to be then

Them*

It was meant to be Luffy, Koby and teach

Poseidon is back

The world is moving rihht

There’s a revo force

It just wasn’t Garp’s time

I think he’s had to cope with knowing that

Hus salvation was believing in and building the future.

Roger did it to pirates, Garp did it to marines

[small ember]

Fuji and Sword will be a big part of this too i think

Mayyyyybe Sengoku since Oda has seemed to mellow him out and its his boy Garp

But idk about him

[grand flower]

I think Sengoku created sword

[formal wagon]

if i were a marine my justice would be *shrug* justicce

or something deep and poignant like "good justice"

[small ember]

Awesome justice

[formal wagon]

thats good im stealing that

[small ember]

I could see that. Reveal of him and tsuru with the tattoo

[pulsar path]

These are least favorite right?

[graceful belfry]

I hope Illya wouldn’t put FMI and Thriller Bark in the least favorite category

[strong wadi]

FMI definitely can fit there. That's moreso on Oda not writing too many arcs that could fit in such a category

[hot cairn]

I think FMI is better than Punk Hazard

PH is my least favorite from post time skip

[graceful belfry]

If we’re counting East Blue as one arc, sure

[stone terrace]

Fmi has the makings of a great arc but it just aint there for me

[honest garden]

The action of FMI is a middling but otherwise it's quite good

[graceful belfry]

I agree

[hot cairn]

don’t thumbs down me @strong wadi it’s the truth

[strong wadi]

it's true that your opinion is fmi > ph

[honest garden]

I always enjoy punk hazard more than I expect upon reread

[brittle basin]

bro hates yeti cool brothers

[hot cairn]

I always dread reading PH during my rereads

[hot cairn]

they’re meh

[brittle basin]

i enjoy every arc i reread. you just aren't true fans

[graceful belfry]

Hody’s a better antagonist than Ceaser. The context of FMI and its lore are more compelling and relevant to the overall narrative of One Piece. I don’t think it’s one of the best arcs, per se, but it’s definitely better than Punk Hazard and some of the smaller, more transitory arcs

[hot cairn]

(jk)

[honest garden]

YCB are just plot devices

[hot cairn]

Punk Hazard is not bad

it’s a good set up arc

but if I need to put one on the bottom of the post time skip list, itll be PH

[strong wadi]

List of most underrated arcs:

1. LRLL
2. Thriller Bark
3. Punk Hazard
4. Skypeia (Crazy how public opinion has changed on this in recent years in a good way)
5. N/A

[hot cairn]

yep, agreed with all of this 100%

[honest garden]

Skypeia has the reputation Thriller Bark deserves these days

[hot cairn]

Elbaph will be on this list by the end of it

[ashen rose]

Thriller bark Is a really good and creative arc

[graceful belfry]

Skypiea and Thriller Bark are two of my favorite arcs ngl

[ashen rose]

We never got anything close to it ever again

[hot cairn]

Skypiea is to peak, I must say

[strong wadi]

you must be speaking to the wrong crowd

[hot cairn]

but Thriller Bark is fun

[hot cairn]

Wdym

[formal wagon]

youre a thirller bark fan?

[honest garden]

I love Thriller Bark, Moria is the most fun antagonist ever perhaps

[graceful belfry]

I love it to death, man

It might be top five contender

[strong wadi]

only the wrong crowd would underrate elbaf

[hot cairn]

ah true

[pulsar timber]

I saw a video about pre timeskip nostalgia and there was a funny joke about how Oda would be quartered and hanged if he were writing thriller bark today

[ashen rose]

He shouldn't have lost

[dim radish]

PH is such a potential man. The plots intriguing and I genuinely enjoy it but it drags So much. Great set up for Dressrosa but a set up arc shouldn’t be that long

[hot cairn]

I saw that video

https://youtu.be/FaA7hlMFjlI?si=MJ5YWmqm7B6qI1Xc

[honest garden]

I love this guy

[hot cairn]

this one right?

[pulsar timber]

Amazon lily is the most underrated arc

[hot cairn]

buddy was 100% right

[ashen rose]

He's such an underrated villain too, showing us what happens to those that are too overconfident in their ability to traverse the new world

[hot cairn]

that’s true

[pulsar timber]

Moria is such a fat fucking chud that I almost can’t take him seriously. His design is dumb

[formal wagon]

its so sad he's not blood related to oden

[honest garden]

Moria's expressions are some of the best ever, it's like a golden age disney villain

[formal wagon]

that would have been so funny

[ashen perch]

Id love Thriller Bark if it was written today but I understand he was talking about the newer fans

[hot cairn]

if Oda was writing the train segment of water 7 these days they would be crucifying Oda

[formal wagon]

😭 the invincible edit

[ashen rose]

What trauma and losing literally everyone in your crew does to a mf

[hot cairn]

yeah it’s just the newer crowd

[pulsar timber]

Chicken leg built mofo

[hot cairn]

that seems to think pre time skip is some sort of untouchable masterpiece

[dim radish]

Peak Moria still looked dumb as fuck

[hot cairn]

that post ts will never compare

[hot cairn]

can’t wait for him to join cross guild

[ashen perch]

The way they react to mildly slow stretches makes me think that they'd call for Oda's head over every arc before Onigashima

[formal wagon]

syrup village > post time skip

[hot cairn]

thinking about it now… Wano should be on this list

[pulsar timber]

Impel down would probably be slandered

[ashen perch]

You don't even believe that

[strong wadi]

https://tenor.com/view/no-giga-chad-no-gif-21613582

[ashen perch]

I don't think even cunk believes that

[wraith mantle]

Is this your current bit?

[hot cairn]

[hot cairn]

they wouldn’t have survived BM running after the crew in WCI

or the Dressrosa fights

[hot cairn]

true

[grand flower]

Yeah I think he wanted to climb the ladder of power to get into the position to create something like SWORD

Koby and Drake do the same coded greeting that Sengoku and roci did. Plus Sengoku rescued Rocinante and Drake.

[hot cairn]

Marineford would get hated for clash piece

[ashen perch]

I wasn't active in the fanbase during those last 30 or so chapters of Egghead so it surprised me that people thought it was a slow arc

[grand flower]

Using sword to go undercover in pirate crews what Drake and roci did

[ashen perch]

The definition of slow has changed a lot

[grand flower]

Pre-skip is filled with things people dislike post skip for

[hot cairn]

I think it’s because the VP message got too many breaks when it was being released

[strong wadi]

After skimming this video, the real issue is that fans suck at reading weekly and need to binge. Maybe Netflix is onto something...

[formal wagon]

egghead felt like it was 1 chapter away from ending for 10 chapters

[blazing depot]

They would call Going Merry’s sacrifice and death Mickey Mouse

WHY IS THE SHIP TALKING?? DISNEY ASS WRITING

[dark nymph]

egghead weekly during vp announcement was pain icl

overall it was good tho

[ashen perch]

Yeah but they shouldn't be blaming that on the pace

[hot cairn]

exactly, it’s like they forgot about everything that used to happen then

[strong wadi]

tbh it was only a little painful because like 50% of the speech was shit us fans already knew

[graceful belfry]

Rawness and swagger

[fiery spire]

Pre skip was the strawhat’s pov
Post skip is the world’s pov

[dark nymph]

that too yeah, its like spit it out already... oh I already knew that.. frustrating

[fiery spire]

How the world changes and is affected by the strawhats movement

And actions

[ashen perch]

I didn't mind VP's speech at all, it was one of my fav parts of Egghead even

[hot cairn]

true, although I do enjoy reading OP weekly. Reading everything from Romance Dawn to Wano pre raid was a blast. I think the binge experience is top tier and maybe could get people to stop complaining much

[blazing depot]

They would have Oda’s head on a pike if Thriller Bark was today

[ashen perch]

I guess there were breaks but idk, you just gotta accept it atp?

[hot cairn]

true

[strong wadi]

I wont lie, the fact oda blew off a repeat for kaido and is looking like he'll blow off a repeat of this against imu rn... I can see why people are saying he's fallen off

[ashen perch]

The breaks are part of the series, and nothing is ever changing that

[hot cairn]

this is also true

it was the OP world finding out stuff we already know

[brittle basin]

Pre-ts inking, my beloved.

[hot cairn]

but it was peak regardless

[hot cairn]

peak

[hot cairn]

they were loooong breaks too, that year was insanely filled of breaks. I remember.

[ashen perch]

No amount of breaks is going to really affect my enjoyment atp, it took a while to get used to it, but by Egghead I didn't even care anymore. Oda can take as long as he needs to

[latent hamlet]

tbf tho, people's enjoyment of manga can definitely shift depending on if its a binge from start to eos, or binge and then catch up, or just long time readers

[ashen perch]

The year only had 3 more breaks than usual Jesus

[brittle basin]

3 more weeks of hell

[strong wadi]

It's not breaks, it's that people wait weekly even on nonbreak weeks and they're like, "Why the fuck did oda just do a chapter focusing on x, y, and z, and not ZORO?"

[hot cairn]

and a month break and a two week break

[ashen perch]

Tbf if you were waiting for a Zoro v Lucci chapter then you deserved to suffer

[brittle basin]

Oda focused on Zoro this week.

[formal wagon]

he should do that every week

maybe then this manga will avoid cancellation

[hot cairn]

they were also complaining about “reaction piece”

[formal wagon]

im telling you right now we're headed down the route of phantom seer

goda rest its soul

[graceful belfry]

Tbf we still have future chances with Imu

[ashen perch]

Oh definitely, but you just gotta get used to it at some point and accept it as part of the reality of reading the series

[graceful belfry]

Hey this looks kinda familiar huh

[hot cairn]

One Piece really isnt the series to be impatient for

[thick mango]

i caught up from the binge the week before g5 it was good timing

[ashen perch]

Let me look at the schedule real quick, all the breaks only made Oda release 34 chapters instead of 38 at best iirc

[hot cairn]

this series it’s at is best when it takes its time

[hot cairn]

you also skipped east blue and Alabasta

[graceful belfry]

Extremely good timing actually

[hot cairn]

crazy

[thick mango]

i went back

[graceful belfry]

Wait fr

[thick mango]

at like timeskip iirc

[hot cairn]

this guy started on Jaya smh

[thick mango]

jaya is real good

[latent hamlet]

or just any series ngl

[graceful belfry]

Well at least he began with the peak of the story

If he was gonna skip to any Saga, it might as well be Skypiea

[ashen perch]

Oh idk why I said 38, I'm tripping

I meant 32 instead of 35 lol

[hot cairn]

this explains why QBZ wants OP to be rushed to hell

[thick mango]

nah thats basically about two things

[ashen perch]

You can see it here

[thick mango]

first i dont care about fights

second, I think certain threads are best if they just end where theyre at

so we go faster by not reviving and revisiting those threads

[hot cairn]

wdym

[brittle basin]

GODA. I can see the vision. Woria return.

[ashen perch]

No significant difference in the amount of chapters released per year

2025 had 35
2024 had 32
2023 had 32
2022 had 35

It wasn't actually a big difference, it may have felt that way I suppose

[thick mango]

kaido, bm, kid come to mind but i bet there are others

[graceful belfry]

Do you have a favorite fight

[thick mango]

usopp v luffy w7

[ashen perch]

It didn't for me atleast

[graceful belfry]

That’s a great choice

[hot cairn]

Kid is def coming back

there’s absolutely no way he’s actually out of the story

[ashen perch]

I think both of those things directly clash with Oda's way of doing things unfortunately for you

[graceful belfry]

His shadow kinda looks like the choir of houses Imu brings to life, in whatever area he’s in, with his Maki

Though, yes, Moria should return

[thick mango]

i know hes likely to come back just seeing the pattern of the story but i think he would have had a good arc if it did end there

[grand flower]

Chopper cures the cursed people by smacking a shadow out of them

[ashen perch]

Oda does like fights, and he'll never let a thread go cold if it can be wrung out for all that it does have

[hot cairn]

you talking to me?

[ashen perch]

Nah

[hot cairn]

I disagree ngl

[ashen perch]

Qbz

[thick mango]

its not a very one piece thread but someone getting knocked down, keep trying again till they finally run into something they cant get back up from can be a good story arc

[thick mango]

egghead day skip gives me hope

[grand flower]

Not till Kid shows Hao

I still think Oda made kid to contrast Gear 5

[graceful belfry]

Literally hitting the demonic influence out of them. Somehow

[grand flower]

The holy knights are like magnets

Steel hearts

[ashen perch]

Egghead day skip shouldn't be a symbol of hope for anyone, that is demonic

[grand flower]

That magnetic DEMON coming

[hot cairn]

egghead skip feels like a once in a blue moon type of thing

[dark nymph]

egghead day skip was one of the worst things about the arc lol

[thick mango]

so much punching york and seraphim was mercifiully skipped

[brittle basin]

Kidd being able to rip apart the hearts or even bodies of God's Knights wold be sick.

[dark nymph]

robin getting offscreened was diabolical

[grand flower]

“Ima need that”

rips their heart out

[hot cairn]

if it was up to you QBZ, OP would end in like 3 years

[ashen perch]

I don't think skipping the punching of Seraphim is the issue

[hot cairn]

(horribly)

[ashen perch]

York wasn't even punched

[wraith mantle]

[ashen perch]

She's not a fighter

[ashen perch]

So I don't get how it relates to fights

[hot cairn]

mercifully

[grand flower]

When they finally ban me

Make this a sticker in my memory

[ashen perch]

I don't think we will

[grand flower]

I’ll be back then

[ashen perch]

On the sticker thing

To be clear

[grand flower]

I know what you meant

I’m not spice

[ashen perch]

No promises on the former

Lmao

[hot cairn]

the egghead day skip is odd looking back

I didn’t mind when it happened

but it was weird for Oda

[grand flower]

He did it for the zooweemama of showing York was actually apprehended

The skip was soured becausw people read spoilers

[ashen perch]

Oda has grown smarter since then

[hot cairn]

wdym

[grand flower]

They didn’t get the effect of what Oda was doing

[ashen perch]

I thought that was fine really

[grand flower]

The format is meant to lead you into thinking York is still up to something

It’s a bait and switch into revealing shes been caught

[ashen perch]

The sudden cut to victory

[grand flower]

But you can’t get that effect reading spoilers

[formal wagon]

is spice banned?

[grand flower]

Spoilers just say “York has been captured”

[formal wagon]

no

[ashen perch]

I was just expecting a flashback

[hot cairn]

ah yeah but a flashback wouldve been nice

[grand flower]

Sorry, there’s no god

[formal wagon]

only goda

[hot cairn]

to see how it went down

[grand flower]

Listen

I’m gonna say it

[ashen perch]

No flashback really does hammer in the idea that it was an efficiency move

[grand flower]

I miss Socrates

[ashen perch]

Not a clever jump cut to victory

[hot cairn]

he wanted to wrap things up quickly

[grand flower]

[hot cairn]

[urban lodge]

[ashen rose]

Y'all just haters

[ashen perch]

Mohdoo forced me to take that 72h mute for the Domi bet smh

I took it honorably ofc

[frigid gulch]

Socrates was cooking

[prisma idol]

I'm not a hater he should just get washed

[frigid gulch]

We didn’t see the vision

[ashen perch]

But still, he was banned smh

[hot cairn]

we want Luffy to get washed too

it’s both of them

[ashen rose]

This is one piece we're talking about

[prisma idol]

And?

[ashen rose]

Imu is gonna beat up fodder, get some obligatory damage to Sanji and Zoro, and then leave due to a time limit before Luffy and Loki fight

[ashen perch]

Also is this bda lmao

[wraith mantle]

No

[ashen rose]

Considering the most high steaks things that has happened this chapter was hers losing her fingers of all things to the final boss

[ashen perch]

Ah, lots of banned users go there lol so I believed it was

[hot cairn]

nope

[hot cairn]

Loki is about to fight right now tho

[wraith mantle]

Yeah because it’s like the second most active op discord I think

[grand flower]

@hot cairn @ashen perch I have. Unfortunate. News

I have been informed

[ashen perch]

⁉️

[grand flower]

Hajrudin and Loki both fed Luffy

Unfortunately

This means personal beef with Imu

[lofty fern]

https://tenor.com/view/ana-kasparian-tyt-the-young-turks-good-riddance-i-mean-gif-20212573

[hot cairn]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[ashen perch]

Lets go

[hot cairn]

LETS GOOOOOO

[wraith mantle]

lol

[grand flower]

Laugh now if you want. I be laughing loudest

[ashen rose]

Yeah he was also about to fight everyone when he was unchained and that didn't happen, Usopp was gonna fight him because he was drunk and that didn't happen

[hot cairn]

will you now

[grand flower]

I now everything

[ashen perch]

I dont now about that

[hot cairn]

Oda is carefully planting the seeds of your downfall Sharon

[lofty fern]

Even better, Imu just cooked Luffy's cook...the one who feeds Luffy everyday 👀

[ashen rose]

Your name won't be a lie

[grand flower]

Is he

[grand flower]

It never is

[hot cairn]

you’ll see when Imu drops Loki next chapter and Luffy sees him and will be pissed

just like it happened with Usopp and Brook

[ashen perch]

Its golden week after this chapter so I think Loki gets dropped then

[hot cairn]

he aint chained anymore buddy

[dark nymph]

Loki is surviving next chapter

[hot cairn]

whats skipping the fight?

[ashen rose]

(please go somewhere please go somewhere please go somewhere please fight for the love of god please have a fight and not a one sided stomp)

[ashen perch]

We've got 2 cliffhangers to do and Goldenweek is more important

[ionic palm]

its somewhat amusing that Oda is really hard building Loki and Luffy as a dynamic duo

[urban lodge]

If Oda is good Loki won't last one chapter

[ashen perch]

That one will be the Loki defeat cliffhanger

[hot cairn]

chapter 1182?

[frigid gulch]

Nah

[ashen rose]

He usually does this with these types of characters; Yamato for example

[ashen perch]

yeah

[ashen rose]

Unfortunately this is oda

[frigid gulch]

Oda will prob do a hybrid cliffhanger or something

[ashen perch]

I think we could start with the hybrid already

[grand flower]

Never forget

[ionic palm]

eh idk if thats really comparable, a major difference is that the relationship between Loki and Luffy was being built since nearly the beginning of Elbaph

Yamato and Luffy was mid-arc

[frigid gulch]

Not yet

Duke it out in base first

[ashen perch]

He's not capable of that

[ashen rose]

[frigid gulch]

Or is he

[ashen rose]

Loki is just Yamato but better

[ashen perch]

Probably not

[grand flower]

https://tenor.com/view/jcsoos-gif-21682697

[ashen rose]

And he could be even better if ODA GIVES US THIS FUCKING REVEAL

[ionic palm]

Loki and Luffy have actual synergy going tho :p

[ashen rose]

SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM?

[grand flower]

Loki fumbled his first baddie

Shanks had to intervene

[ashen rose]

It's true

[ashen rose]

Nah this could be an awesome backstory, showing us his more caring side and all

[wraith mantle]

Both of these character have been hyped to heaven and back

One of them will likely be hypetool’d

[ashen rose]

Considering Loki's only source of love was his mom, Lola must have reminded him of her in some way

[hot cairn]

it’s 100% going to be Loki

[ashen rose]

What does hyper tool mean?

[grand flower]

I’m proud of you

[hot cairn]

what happened to Zoro and Sanji this chapter

used as tools to hype up a character

[dark nymph]

next chapter

Imu smokes Loki until he goes hybrid form
Cut to Luffy back to full HP
Chopper tends to Zoro and the gng
Summers goes back to terrorize the kids, and Killingham revives his nightmares again
WRANKY and Jinbei hold the line against Summers momentarily
Luffy arrives for the 2v1

[ashen rose]

Thanks regent thragg

[grand flower]

Lokis character is really defined by him constantly losing every chance at love and acceptance that comes his way

[hot cairn]

next chapter? That quick?

[ashen rose]

Ah, I can somewhat see that, but he's stronger than them, plus Loki getting revenge (or at least attempting to) on his father, it's a lot more personal battle than anything

[ashen perch]

Yeah, well, I guess it depends on if its meant to be quick

[ashen rose]

"aw man I sure love being born"
Gets thrown away
"Aw man I sure love having a mom"
Mom dies
"Aw man I sure love having a dad"
You're not gonna believe this

[ionic palm]

either way, this likely wont take long. Even Imu himself said there's not much time, so there's very clearly a time limit but we just dont know how long he has and everyone on Elbaph has to survive until then.

[ashen perch]

I can see Loki fighting in base if the next chapter's only half about their fight, ending in the hybrid reveal

[hot cairn]

yeah that’s true, but he’s losing anyway

[ashen rose]

He's gonna try snowgraving Imu but it ain't happening unfortunately

[ashen perch]

Yeahh

[ashen rose]

Still weird that oda decided that ragnir should have both electrical and ice powers

Electric I understand

It's Mjolnir

But ice?
