Yeah good arcs need a lot of setup but you should know what i'm talking about since you're a hxhfag

Bunch of asspulls never explained. Zoro grows limbs and heads, Sanji puts fire on his leg and do not burn, usopp pulls a gigantic Kabuto of his ass, chopper has more transformations than any zoan and somehow no one notices.

Alabasta, Sabody Archipelago, Marineford, Impel Down and unironically the G-8 arc are just as good as the C9 arc

Yeah, yeah" rumble balls and shit". What are they made? Why no other zoan wants them? Kaido should try to capture and make him explain everything he knows. Also, Zoro somehow created six arms and 2 heads in the fight with Kaku.

If Sanji, like a bunch of characters including Luffy can create fire and not getting burn, what is the merit of eating the Mera Mera no mi?

Alabasta Arc

YUCK! The merch was selling fantastically, and so did the manga volumes.

You have one of the lowest IQs in this thread.

Absolutely based and skypilled

Oda was based and high IQ in this arc with his positive depiction of European explorers and the natives getting cucked by God Enel

That Arc alone is better then every Shonen currently ongoing or finished.

Wood, air and the average human are all less dense than water.

Probably, Alabasta is just as good though. Had to drop One Piece after the time skip, that mermaid island arc was pure dogshit and while before it felt like the strawhat pirates were the protagonists with Luffy in a more central role, things shifted into more of a Luffy and the gang dynamic. The anime also became unwatchable.
Film Z sucked too.

There's just so many "peaks" in one piece

>arlong part

I'm still in spanish namek but from what I hear about the Wano arc it seems that's shaping up to be a peak as well

Holy shit, how is it possible to have taste this bad?

I only started truly enjoying One Piece when Luffy became separated from his crew than than it was straight heat and nonstop enjoyment until timeskip.

I never watched anime, only read the manga and I have a friend who's marginally interested but he won't commit to follow this huge of a series.

How are the movies tho? Are they oc only or are there movies that follow manga arcs? Can you recommend them for a kind of a summary?

>How are the movies tho? Are they oc only or are there movies that follow manga arcs? Can you recommend them for a kind of a summary?
They are all original non canon stories

They're mostly original and don't touch the main story.
Movie 6 is kino
Movie 1-5, 7 are kinda whatever.
Movie 8/9 are shitty recap movies
Strong World/Film Z/Gold have a bit more Oda involvement but are still pretty whatever

Beginning of Water 7 to middle-end of Impel Down was peak One Piece. Somewhere around there it got really unreadable really fast.

Goddamn I had high hopes for the series when movie 6 came out. Slightly darker One Piece with driven-by-insanity Luffy was truly the best.

Guess I'll ask this here.
So far i've found wano to be okay and i know it's building up, but what does oda need to do going forward to make it a really great arc?

Except that merchandise only sells if the series in question is loved by people worldwide.

that's exactly what I'm talking about
today's OP is the shadow of itself

Damn near

It has its moments

Dressrosa, in retrospect, isn't bad in the slightest. Hell, I'd say it's a Top 5 OP arc. I found myself enjoying it a lot more on a reread than during its initial release. it isn't flawless, sure, but I can't agree with the OLD GOOD NEW BAD mentality.
Pleb filtered.

Luffy doesn't create fire.
Sanji creates fire because his genetics got modified.

>Sanji creates fire because his genetics got modified.
Except they did not.

bait

6 is a really great film but atmosphere and style are different from the show.
1-7 (without 6) are like normal fun filler arcs, I loved 5 and 7.
Strong World and Z are more serious, really pretty and with lore.
I don't really remember Gold.

But why not just try watching the anime? You miht like it.

Its a battle shonen, so there will be asspulls. Its practically part of the genre. There's your defense. His post was pretty funny though, I got a good chuckle out of it.

Fucking this.
CP9 was pretty damn good if you compare it to modern One-Piece, but when it came out it was rather bland, compared to Baroque Company and Skypia.

This was.

That's a shitty way to translate 'A Man's Dream... never dies!!!'

Also Blackbeard's secret, why Zoro and Luffy both said he had companions at that time, and why he can control multiple devil fruit? Conjoined triplets. Look at his fucking flag.

>Robin actually is a human being

Robin actually is shit

I'd like to see you genuinely argue that a single thing on that list was actually an asspull

This, why do retards expect everything to be foreshadowed? I know Oda is pretty good at setting things up beforehand but it's kind of overkill to expect him to do it for literally everything

Fuck it, big mom is a top tier arc.
So great mama needed to be included in wano to save it from being s boring shitpile.

Oh God they fucking blue hair chick screamed so many times at the end of that arc I was just fucking sick of it. Love crocodile though.

kek

it was kinda strange that he spend almost the entire arc getting his ass kicked

Dressrosa was such a disappointment, the amount of awful fights and wasted characters should be considered a sin

Accurate

Honestly haven't enjoyed One Piece since the timeskip. Fishman Island was a slog, and Punk Hazard was okay, but I got bored and still haven't read it since Punk Hazard

It gets bonus points with me for having a plot based on the main characters instead of some royalty who can't keep control of their country

Pre-timeskip, maybe.

But why? It's an accurate translation of "hito no yume wa owaranai".

Does it ALWAYS look like shit?

Not always, Toei puts in more than $5 into the budget once or twice an arc. Rest of the show is a hastily put together slideshow though.

Good to know

It's a shame, because Toei is a massive company. They can spare the dosh.

One piece top-tier characters can dodge lightning with ease. Manipulating fire with that speed should be possible. And mera mera gives the obvious advantage of complete flame control. Possibly temp too.

Based cake poster

It's the worst for him his almighty god zoro got sodomized by Eneru.

One true retcon I noticed in One Piece (my favorite manga) is that when Ace first explained his ability, he said he couldn't create fire, only control it.
Later on Oda changed this philosophy as we saw. Crocodile also never was shown 'creating' sand, only manipulating it.

When you look at AKAINU however, in Marineford, I believe he is the first logia to actively generate his element. Enel, arguably, but Nami proved he wasn't creating the lightning, only manipulating it and concentrating it as it already existed in the atmosphere, when she deflected it.
Aokiji didn't violate this rule (he 'formed' ice rather than generated it from nothing).
But again, in Marineford, when Akainu starts lobbing meteor storm, he's creating the magma.

Is that logia awakening?

It's the best so far it doesn't mean it won't be bested, don't be sad user.

Chopper's devil fruit, "human: model human," is stated in canon as one that Blackbeard will seek out.
I hope you realize that Chopper's "human: model human," grants him PEAK human capabilities.
He's as smart as Vegapunk. He's strong like a bodybuilder (though not super humanly strong like Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji). The reason no other characters are using rumble balls is that they did not have high enough INT score to invent them even if they wanted to. The reason Vegapunk hasnt invented them is just a time thing, his focus was creating a devil fruit rather than manipulating one. Chopper's was to manipulate, since he probably was trying really hard back then to have a 'normal human' human form instead of the yetti.
He failed to create a 'normal human' form that would let him blend in, but each failure form turned out to be useful for his journey.

Rumble Balls very well may become central to the Kaido situation. Feeding them to Kaido might be a viable strategy to force him into one form or another that the strawhats have an advantage against.
Kaido is called "the 100 beasts" so he may have 100 forms, which trounces Chopper, but he's a yonko.

I still remember seeing that Luffy vs Lucci fight when I was 15 and having my mind blown, hadn't seen a single episode prior to watching that. So many questions I had. Just kept watching the show waiting to finally see it and understand who all these characters were.

Before Marineford it was always a debate between either Skypiea or Enies Lobby as best arc. Then after Marineford it was all about Marineford or Enies Lobby. I always thought that each arc had a different thing they gave the reader.
Skypiea - Just a well crafted story in the world that didn't really have anything to do with the rest of the main story(Other than them getting a lot of gold for a new ship and Usopp getting the dials)
Enies Lobby(and Water 7) - More of a drama/character story, also a lot of battles and HYPE for the kids(like me)
Marineford - Accumulation of the series so far, so much world building had gone into getting here, things that had been teased were finally shown. Kind of a climax for the first half.

But this could also just be a bunch of bullshit.

tl;dr: Long Ring Long Land Arc is best pre-timeskip arc, all hail Foxy

Do you believe in earnest that Skypiea had nothing to do with the main story, or were you being ironic/baiting?

Yes

I know the chances of this shit happening is zero, but seeing Robin doing something like this would be so fucking satisfying.

Attached: Nv713Vz.jpg (2464x1734, 494K)

Water 7/Enies Lobby overstayed its welcome. WAY too bogged down in stupid side fights and there is still no good reason the Strawhats made it past the Buster Call alive.

That said, Luffy vs Lucci is still the best major arc boss fight of the series so far.

Gross

How bad of an idea is it to watch One Piece from the beginning instead of re-reading it

Why would I? It's inconquestential and they fought weak ass villains. The latter half was about Ace's dead, a character made just to die for feels.

TS>PTS

Not bad at all provided you skip filler and stop watching once the anime goes to shit after Saobody Archipelago.

The anime has plenty of moments that it captures FAR better than the manga, especially in the first half of the series.

What filler should be skipped other than Ussop's introduction with that retarded butler enemy?

>and stop watching
???

He said he wants to watch the anime, why would you say that's a good idea? Stop trying to force your shit taste on others.

animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece

Kindly fuck off. The show has been going on for literally 20 years now and there are clear differences in quality over time. Not gonna tell someone to watch 400 episodes of shit.

The only saga that felt like a complete and competently paced story, while also focusing on adventure and character dynamics more than fights and using the mandatory flashback effectively. It can stand alone and still serve as a good read. Every crew member gets something worthwhile, the conflicts are creative, and the setting is interesting. 10/10
