>Yasu's true surname and Zoro's hometown share the same name
>Yasu ruled over the only legitimate port in Wano
I feel dumb for not realizing it sooner, so is Zoro just gonna be some random orphan, or is he actually gonna be from Wano?
Right now it only seems like Koshiro is from Wano. The reason why it seems that Zoro is like a samurai even though he's an outsider is because Koshiro brought his teaching from Wano to the East Blue.
Good thing, the stoic act was getting boring
It's not that Zoro is weaker, he seems like it because samurai in Wano are damn fucking strong.
Big momma and her crew had their asses handed by King
Even Shutenmaru held his own against Jack
I'm was under the impression the whole town was founded by Wano people. Was Zoro just a orphan that wandered in? Would fit with his wandering samurai thing Oda set up for him. To think all this started with Oda damage controlling a door he forgot to draw broken in a panel with a SBS only character.
Who will be the next D. to be revealed?
Wat
Since when has that shitty 944 theory even been around? I hate it because I actually started believing it.
O looks like D.
This person keeps putting O in front of their name to lead people astray.
SHIMOTSUKI D TOKO
The unstoppable killing machine only runs on external steaks now.
Since someone pieced together some other color spread hints and did the same for the one where Zoro was sitting on a grave
he hates her
she loves him
Higuma breaks the door in Makino's bar, but in a following scene, the door is fine. In one of the first SBS's, someone asks Oda about it, and Oda damage controls by creating a joke character that goes around the East Blue fixing broke doors. When we finally get to Wano, the foreman overseeing Franky's work looks exactly like the guy the fixes doors in the East Blue. Oda later reveals in a SBS they are related and that some other character we already know came from Wano, as a ship went to the East Blue twenty years ago. In the recent chapter, Yasu is revealed to be Shimotsuki Yasuie, Shimotsuki being the name of the town Zoro is from. It's also revealed in the Flashback that one of the people who served Yasu had the same symbol on his cloak as Koshiro, Zoro's mentor. The broken door guy is related to Zoro's origin.
it's probably one of the oldest theories i could remember
In short. Higuma the bandit destroyed a door when coming in, and just as he was leaving, the door was magically repaired.
Someone in an SBS pointed this out to Oda, and Oda bullshitted a character who likes fixing doors really quick. He then proceeded to build a lore behind that character by giving him relatives in Wano.

The three best characters (Orochi, Zoro, Kyoshiro) are on a collision course to 944. Goda don't let me down like you did with Bobbin.
To me it’s a clear hint that Zoro is only Samurai level because while he seems physically stronger and it gives him compensation, the samurai are more graceful and don’t leave themselves open to attacks, Zoro’s biggest weakness in every fight.
He was already the second-strongest in the crew before the timeskip, and arguably had the biggest jump in power over the timeskip, if not the second-biggest jump after Luffy. Then the first two arcs of the New World were not even serious challenges for the crew; the enemies were weak and Zoro had to remind himself and Luffy in Punk Hazard that they can't afford to be goofing off. Then although he was in Dressroa, he heavily let himself take the backseat to Luffy, just settling to defeat the living mountain, because with his skills size doesn't matter against him. And aside from size, Pica didn't have that much going for him.
So this is the first time since the timeskip that Zoro's actually been around powerful opponents, and the nature of the plot makes it so that he can really stretch his limbs as a character here.
>tl;dr:
He was an unstoppable killing machine in prior arcs because there wasn't anything to challenge him in previous arcs, except Doflamingo but Zoro wouldn't killsteal from his captain.
>John Boyega
Not even Usopp is black enough to be played by that ape.
Zoro has been taking hits all story.
Buggy’s defeated him but usually he can tank a lot like vs Mr. 1 especially.
In Wano he can’t get away with taking those hits because Samurai are lethal.
Kyoshiro gets oneshot in Chapter 943, Chapter 944 is all about Luffy in the prison and is not Zoro-related
Have we even seen the samurai fight much? Especially multiple opponents at once while trying to protect someone else.
No, when Kinemon was in the EXACT situation you describe, Oda off paneled it so we only saw that Kinemon succeeded.
Oda's a hack. Zoro pre-ts was able to absorb all of Luffy's pain and stay standing. He was able to take a slash from mihawk and still stand to take another one. Here, he faints from what would amount to a normal wound in any of his other fights.
Nah, Oda is fine. Zoro is too weak.
He fainted from hunger. Jaimini fucked up their translation.
Zoro is superhuman, it makes sense to me that at some point he would be forced to stop relying on that to win.
For example if Mr. 1 wasn’t made of steel would he even be a scary swordsman for Zoro?
And yet he was still landing blow after blow because as Gyokimaru says he leaves himself open. The difference is that the samurais land damaging blows above Zoro’s superhuman threshold, and if they can cut Jack they can cut Kuma too.
Kinemon went longer than Zoro without food and fought Brook and didn’t collapse though.
Nameless fodder, who only knew Kanjuro was down in the toy pit but couldn't actually find him since he was hiding behind the rocks.
And he didn't even do shit to them.
Attention everyone:
Chapter 944 will be Zoro mastering four-sword-style by sticking a katana up his ass.
That is all.
>moving goalposts
The post. Oda could have just not had Kanjuro taken hostage, but he wanted to show us:
>188196042
Exactly what this post asks for an example of.
But remember, he's been eating almost entirely poison food and drinking poison water since he's been on Wano.
It would be immediate Chapter of the Year status
Holy crap even Sanji thinks it’s odd that Kinemon didn’t reveal his power level.
Zoro is very strong especially physically and in constitution, but you are right about why he collapsed. The thing is though if he leaves himself open he’d keep getting hit and how many blows did Zoro land on the samurai?
Do you mean on Gyukimaru, or on Kamazou?
He wanted Gyukimaru to tell him where the sword was, not just cut him down so he couldn't talk, especially after he found out that Shusui wasn't originally a black blade.
Are we still allowed to want to protect Toko's precious smile now that we know it's involuntary?
Crazy thought, what if Kaido was the dragon that was supposedly "slain" by Ryuuma?
Gyokimaru was defending himself against Zoro’s attack, and instead of showing a killing intent, let’s Zoro know he leaves himself open. I think he could have landed a blow on his own against Zoro, since he left him alive with his other swords, rather than disarming him.
To him Zoro isn’t a threat so far.
Zoro only had two swords and fought from anger, I think threatening to kill Gyukimaru, so Gyukimaru’s calm reaction giving Zoro advice says a lot about Zoro’s place as a swordsman below him until further notice.
Is this the first time Zoro used a weapon other than Wado Ichimonji in his mouth, or has he done it before?
Men's testosterone gets lower when raising a family.
That is a lot of assumptions with very little supporting evidence in the text itself. First, there's no indication that the fact he he's shouting "you're open" is anything more than a taunt. He left Zoro alive because he takes a weapon from each person defeated at the bridge. Kamazou was defeated, so he took Kamazou's scythe.
There's also no indication that Zoro is fighting from anger in that scene. Gyukimaru is the one who's constantly shouting and insulting Zoro, while Zoro remains mostly calm.
Carrot is the only attractive female in the Straw Hat crew
Ahh, I'm so glad it's fake.
Dude he stands there perched by the bridge watching the fight, and throws a jab each time Zoro leaves himself open, announcing it first.
This is immediately before Kamazou appears:
I get the impression both Gyukimaru and Kamazou were afraid of Zoro getting actually fucking serious.
UWAAAAAAAAAAA KAIDOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE HURT MY NAKAMA AND THOSE PEOPLE
UWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He announces it at the same time. Where in the world are you getting "announcing it first" from?
great fight
youtube.com
Carrot has a nice and well-toned butt!
Wrong. Robin is also attractive.
Post laughs from people in real life that would fit in the One Piece world
That's Oda's "comically angry". Anyone whose read the series knows that Oda reserves certain styles and expressions for actually, story impacting anger, while he lets character's react angrily for the sake of comedy elsewhere. For instance, anytime Nami yells at the crew. One way to tell the difference is that the character's teeth become sharp and they have the little vein mark.
For instance, look at Luffy in the bottom left panel. That is how Oda draws a character who is actually angry, and whose anger is important to the story.
I dunno man to me that looks like he’s giving Zoro a lesson. Kamazou appears and he stands back like he wants to watch, but follows through with what he told Zoro, announcing each time Zoro is open.
Gyukimaru is strong but I can see that his weakness is that he does not create openings, he waits for them, “always”. To beat him you have to create an opening while not leaving any yourself.
I wasn’t using that panel to prove Zoro was angry that his sword was stolen, I was using it to show that Gyukimaru was low key teaching Zoro.
It looks like nothing more than a taunt. We've actually seen people give Zoro lessons on swordsmanship, and it's nothing like what Gyukimaru is doing. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you guys are making a lot of assumptions based on very scant evidence.
Oh wow, Gyukimaru says he will take both of Zoro’s swords, then after winning, doesn’t.
It’s speculation about the characters in the story, ya, discussion.
Gyukimaru said he’d take all Zoro’s swords but doesn’t.
What is this antiZoro shitposting? Did people start reading post-ts?
This is a good one
Gyukimaru is basically a 1 to 1 rendition of Benkei. Gyukiramu takes the weapons of people who are defeated at the bridge, so him saying that he would take Zoro's swords is the same as saying he'd beat him. Kamazou was defeated, so his weapon was taken. Zoro wasn't, so he was left alone.
He doesn't win though.

He could have struck Zoro dead as he collapsed losing consciousness, leaving an opening.
He broke his own stated rule. Zoro’s duel with him didn’t end when Kamazou appeared.
He actually grins when Zoro goes down and doesn’t take his swords. I don’t think it’s a stretch to claim he likes Zoro, at least from now on.
Zoro and Gyukimaru’s duel wasn’t ended, technically he should have struck Zoro as he collapsed, ‘winning’, but didn’t.
You're weak now Luffy but train hard and who knows, maybe one day you'll beat a 16 foot man with fangs made of mochi who can see the future!
Does Sanji still have a shot with Viola?
Even if he did, he'd only be second best forever. Doffy's cock was so good, Viola was willing to let him ruin her family and country slide. Sanji could never measure to that.
Why didn't they just turn Kanjuro into a toy?
I don't necessarily disagree that he likes Zoro, but Zoro only collapses as he's already leaving. That signifies that the duel is being put on hold, and Gyukiamru already retrieved a weapon from someone defeated at the bridge.
Kanjuro was hiding in the garbage
Not after Bullsopp took over
I agree, though I also wonder if his grin is because he recognized the (three) sword style technique Zoro used to win.
sounds like an ass pull
What a slut.
Reminder that Vivi will cause semen to stain the mountaintops

Wow, people really did start reading after Dressrosa.
Could be. Oda's already brought up Ryuma's grave, so I think there's going to be something important there. It's also mighty convenient that Zoro is going under a fake name in Wano. Has Kinemon ever addressed Zoro with his family name, or has shown that he knows it?
So, what is it that got Inu and Neko to have their falling out? Will it ever be revealed?
Oh my go, the secret to One piece is a weird stalker shrine!
Probably something to do with Roger, but honestly, they’re a giant cat and a giant dog, do you really need another excuse?
No, dipshit, when Zoro is paying attention he is undefeatable. It only makes sense that when he is distracted in a fight (as is explicitly stated he was) the enemy could land a mortal wound on him. The point is that Zoro at his full power and attention level has not been shown yet
It was when they couldn't save Oden.
>do you really need another excuse?
Not really, no, but it seems like a very Oda thing to do to sudenly drop a two chapter flashback on us explaining it, I agree that it is probably something involving Roger.
People don't understand that Zoro is going to be the savior of Wano.
Oden's execution. They were his retainers, but they failed to save him.
Wow do I hate it when translators translate Inurashi's and Nekomamushi's names. It'd be like calling Tatsumaki "Tornado of terror" every time.
She was pretty cool. Would love to see more of her but if her crushing was somewhat less cray.
I agree, especially since One Piece readers are already familiar with using Japanese names for the admirals and shit like that so it’s not like they’re the only ones with Japanese titles

Back to Twitter
I think in the German version Aokiji was actually translated to "Blaufasan", I actually kinda liked that.
Also, fuck everything, Kuma should be called Bear.
Why the fuck not? Can't be worse than the shit done to her tits after time skip.
If Kawamatsu turns out to be a mink like people are speculating, this is going to be especially dumb, as it'll clash with the overall scheme naming scheme that those three have.
Also, "Bartholomew" should be changed to the more accurate "Bisoromi".
>Big tits bad
Imagine having taste this shit
Can't wait to find out the live-action casting for the Seven Gods of Pirates
I'm serious. Bartholomew Bear is a better name and rolls of the tongue better than Bartholomew Kuma.
I bet you think Dogtooth rolls off the tongue better than Katakuri too
Bisoromi bear is actually a top tier name
>big tits good
You're into the thicc meme too aren't you?
Both work fine but the bear sounds too comical.
>loli lover
MAP-kun?
>loli lover
Not at all. Original Nami had great body type.
I think it's more just what people have gotten used to.
No, not at all. What's with the ad hominem?
Dunno, I think it's a matter of perspective. I grew up knowing him as Bartholomäus Bär, and I always considered it a pretty cool name. Also, his name in japanese is pretty comical then aswell, so I think it would be fitting to translate it as such.
>Foxy learning about the pirate Davy Jones
Man I can't wait for Oda to show us his interpretation of that character later on in the story
Why does Smoothie keep prisoners on her ship to absorb liquid from? Wouldn't it be more human to just have water tanks for her to dip her sword in?
>I grew up knowing him as Bartholomäus Bär
Same here, Hans but somehow the Bear just doesn't work for me as well. Though it's something one can get used to I guess. Don't have any strong preferences ... as long he stays Bartholomew and not fucking Bisoromi.
What if there was a one piece character with much leg but little torso
Well, it's not like it will be changed anyway, so this will probably just remain as my pet peeve for the foreseeable future. I can live with it.
That chick in Alabasta who worked with Mr 1?
dressrosa ended half a decade ago
What's the fun in that?
Her fruit seems fairly sadistic, so maybe her personality reflects that? We barely saw her do anything, so she's still more or less a blank slate.
Isn't it only 4 years?
I want to bully Foxy. Because he's a dick and he deserves it.
Foxxy defeated the most pirates of anyone in the story.
Also he was legit a good boxer Luffy needed a mirror shard and an Afro to win.
>Also he was legit a good boxer Luffy needed a mirror shard and an Afro to win.
Because of Foxy's devil fruit, not just because of his inherent qualities as a boxer.
Hell even if this is actually what he's going to end up looking like in the story I'm just looking forward to how it's actually going to play into the overall narrative. There's no way Oda is going to pass up on making Davy Jones a significant character when one of the biggest aspects of the power scheme in One Piece is that characters with Devil Fruits are unable to swim.
>meme
Jesus, imagine being homosexual and read shonen.
how is yasu not a D? he fits the rejection of authority/having a special destiny to overthrow tyranny and smiling in the face of death thing well
Which model of the Pika Pika no Mi is this?
The Ds are meant to overthrow the world government and celestial dragons specifically, not just tyranny/authority in general
fair enough
its
his home country so I would think so.
awwww famery I wish I had famery
jesus how did this happen?!
His smile wasn't real.
so wait, are they trying to make Luffy into a genuine pirate instead of the source material? I will be ok with this as long as it never fucks with the source material.
extremely based retard
Even if his smile was forced, in that time it was real too.
Ignoring the quality of the arc that they're in, is there are more insufferable character than Otohime? Something about her just grinds my gears every time. The Foxy Pirate arc sucked ass for example, but no character in particular was this bad.
BASED retard
>ooga booyega

>genuinely nice person triggers 4channer
Shocking.
wasnt he infected by the smile fruit?
As Jabra said, in combat situations both your physical strength and DF count. If you have a DF you don't know how to utilize, you're just a scrub.
is that for sure? I mean all signs point to this so I'm inclined to agree with you, but what if it's a D. who is in control over the government? I mean Garp is a D. himself.
Shut up Abe
Obviously. I'm just saying that we don't know how good of a boxer Foxxy is without his devil fruit.
t. based shanks
>she's the only nice person in the OP universe
Your newfaggotry is shocking. Although, on second note, to make a shit-post like that, it isn't shocking.
Yeah, I don't really buy that the Ds are only linked to the celestial dragons. Ds are just people that want the most freedom.
Nefertari D. Vivi
I dislike her, but I can still name several: Momonosuke, Kin'emon, Tonoyasu and Toko for starters.
>Garp is a D. himself.
As if you'd pass the chance to have your greatest enemy join your ranks as a loyal servant. Sure Garp doesn't give a crap about government but at this point he's too important to get snuffed out.
Risten hewe anono-kun, you alre dislupting the cullent ohdal of society-aru. Make-u babies!
He is considered a Hero. I wouldnt mind seeing the Prequel to one piece how Garp became a hero in his own right.
How about
>no family
>no job
>no taxes
>vandalize expensive foreign cars
why do you not like her?
What makes any of those insufferable?
She is directly responsible for Shirahoshi existing
It's highly likely they are intimately related to the void century, which would put them as directly linked to the celestial dragons. My guess is that they are surviving families from the fallen kingdom.
user-San! taking dis loute wirr destloy Nihon as we know it-u! Stoppu! Stoppu!
Nah, that would just dull things out. The past should stay behind somewhat of a mysterious veil. Never meet your heroes, kid.
Go to bed Hancock.
He apparently did something to the Rocks/Locks/Rox crew, probably defeated their captain.
Nothing is known for certain right now, but it seems likely that a huge number of big names were in that crew, including Kaido, Linlin and Whitebeard, maybe even Shakky.
And what's wrong with that? Sorry, but I dont know the current hate for either characters.
How big is Kuina's cock? (pre-stairs)
Shaddup Abe
well I would like to know what Garp did to become a hero, unless it was capturing Gold Roger. If so, then yeah, no point in looking back.
She's stupid crybaby doodoohead.
Garp was a hero even before then and it has to do with the Rox captain.
He was already candidate for admilar even before Roger was captured
Roger was never captured, he turned himself in.
The exact same size as Tashigi’s
ok, I wonder if Roger was apart of a crew like Shanks?
Tashigi is a dicklet though
>One Piece is 80% done
>Oda keeps introducing new mystery boxes
This is all so tiresome.
No, he set out on his own like Luffy.
But didnt the WG spin the narritive to where they captured him? We all know the truth but I'm talking about the Lie that WG would often tell the people.
>he doesn’t like learning backstory
Rox more has to do with the backstory of the Yonko than anything.
>thinking OP is at 80%
We're in the mid 70's at best.
Rate
We don't know if he and Rayleigh started Roger pirates the moment they met, or if the two had some other adventures before
>80% done
lol
Well like the other user said, Garp was already known as the hero before that due to Rox. Before we knew about them though, that would have been a good theory. Just goes to show how no one theory is fool proof, since Oda can add what he likes to the story at any time.
How's Oda gonna bring The Emerald City into play?
We don't even know what fucking Vegapunk looks like.
Narratively we're probably ~80% done, since after Wano the SH will have three of the four Road Ponelgyphs. Chapter wise though? Fuck no.
Go the fuck to bed Imu
How is that-tu any diffelent than dying fo' the shogun or yakuza!? There is no mole-u honor among samurai! Itsu about-u making money-arimasta!
This. 80% done ARC-WISE. I don't know why retards ever thought it meant chapters.
Did I say chapter-wise, idiots?
It's pretty clever but still simplistic style of writing to make a void era to which you can add shit to history and use it as a plot device now. Starwars did it with the clone wars. However the clone wars were explained and kind of destroyed the mystery of it all.
hold on I thought they only had two from big mom and from Zoa. am I wrong in this?
There's no reason to think we aren't entering into the end stretch narratively. Wano holds a large number of secrets regarding the void century, there's going to be one final Road Poneglyph to find, and an Emperor is going to be taken out. The last two islands we know they are going to visit is Raftel and Elbaf, though there may be other arcs in there. Reverie was a large lore dump what with giving a more intimate look into the layout of Marie Geois, the existence of Im and the holy treasure. The Rev's are making their moves and most of the supernovas have been or are currently involved in the story. There isn't much new things left to pull that aren't directly connected to the endgame.
>after Wano
Yeah, though the void century has been around for most of the work and there were hints to things being weird even before that. The very existence of the Red Line is a huge tell that the world of One Piece is somewhat artificial and Oda has been adding to the mystery slowly but surely ever since.
I guess what I'm saying is that the Void Century is less a narrative device that allows Oda to cover his tracks as it is the backbone for the entire narrative.
Big Mom's and Zou's are the two they have, and there's one on Onigashima. So after Wano, they will have three.
well the only thing that would be new is shit we could have over looked in the manga it self. I mean wano introduced time traveling samurai. Still its gonna be one hell of a pay off.
>Sanji knew about ships going up mountains from the beginning
Oda planned out so much shit it's not even funny anymore.
Never post a pre-TS Nami image again. Long hair Nami was a giant fucking mistake, and I don't need to be reminded of it by seeing her superior design.
also there was a globe that we saw in past arcs and there seemed to be more than one moon. Yet we never see more than one moon. So I would think the past has something to do with the Moon or multiple ones or the moon was broken up into parts. There was a hint by an editor that said the D. had something to do with the moon. Which I believe there was a disaster and the moon may have gotten too close to the earth and the sea levels went nuts.
I'm sure new facets will be introduced. For instance, there seems to be Yggdrasil on Elbaf, and considering the presence of special trees (Adam and Eve trees) there may be a greater significance to it. Also on the reread, Caribou mentioned trying to get into someone's good graces. have we figured out who that is yet?
Either way, we're almost 950 chapters in and what we don't know about the One Piece world far outweighs what we do.
ah, I have to say looking back on these past arcs I feel there had been too little adventure and more government toppling. it's my hope after wano they get back to adventuring around the islands.
>Long hair Nami was a giant fucking mistake
Literally the only thing Oda got right about post-TS Nami.
>zoro and sanji speaking with each other without fighting or yelling
when was the last time this happened?
Could be. My wild idea is that the Moon itself is Uranus and acts sort of like a Death Star installation. Enel found evidence of people there and machinery powered by electricity. Uranus was the god of the sky, and the moon is always in the sky revolving around the Earth.
holy shit there's no one piece this week
Well, that's just a natural consequence of the narrative nearing conclusion. By necessity, the amount of mysteries yet to be discovered will decrease. Elbaf may be a more traditional adventure arc, though I'm basing that solely on the fact that there hasn't been any political set up for it (unlike Wano).
Ultimately though it seems like the story of One Piece is going to revolve around the toppling of the World Government. It isn't a coincidence that the Straw hats are likely to get all three major non-human races as stalwart allies. So far both the Minks and the Fishmen have been intimately tied to the void century, so it stands to reason that the Giants could be as well, especially since they are the longest lived of any race.
>ywn have a nakama that looks at you like this
Yeah...
Why haven't the strawhats ever found a devil fruit?
my theory was that there was a lab that was creating weapons from things of mass destruction to turning people into weapons with the devil fruit. All the human races that are separated by tribes are simply people altered by super science and then started living on the new earth. Earth it self was nearly destroyed and the red line was the after math of a huge volcanic explosion that nearly tore the planet in two.
let's not forget Linlin her self, who seems to be a giant but is probably a scientific experiment that went wrong. I still think she will become an ally to luffy for a little while, mainly because Luffy gains allies even from enemies. So Big Mom has to lead Luffy to Eblaf.
I do, Its only because I ventured put and found some people similar to my way of thinking. Believe me, over time we just attract those who think the same.
Thanks for reminding me
nami is gonna eat a smile and become a cow woman with huge udders
They have, they just don't know it yet
Do you think Nami will feed the yuki yuki no mi to her clima-tact?
they are hard to find and the ones that are found are either in the hands of some one else, or being sold for a huge price.
The reason you see so many Devil Fruit users is that they are in the grand line where only the strongest of the users can survive.
There's something about a raw manuscript on instagram. Don't feel like making an account.

It's expected he will get btfo'd by a competent fighter because he's been fighting fodders ever since post-ts.

Nami Should either take Prometheus or get Linlin's fruit.

What's the best movie/special? Already watched Strong World and Gold
Then you're only missing Z, Episode 0 and sixth movie and you're good to go
>actually watching movies/specials
Movie 4, special 3.
Help me bros. How do I stop thinking about Carrot?
I love carrot as well, but that is provably false.
4, SW, Z and Gold are the only good movies
>no 6
Shit taste famalamadingdong.
I unfortunately have been getting death vibes for him this arc, and not because of 944.
The acting was glorious.
yeah its fucking garbage
This is such a good fan edit.
didnt know Robin love to ham up her performance.
I can't imagine drawing this and not being ashamed
Uh? It's just in the post time skip he hasn't had a serious fight yet.
Before that he regularly took heavy hits. Kaku gave him a good fight, despite messing up with the Giraffe forms. Mr. One gave him a great fight. Kuma sent him flying.
After that, the strongest he fought is probably Pica, who was more a threat to others than Zoro himself.
Get a rabbit.
They are goddamned cute but they can be little assholes too.

Did that One Piece kabuki show ever get a video release or rip? I've always been curious about it.
>he will get btfo'd by a competent fighter
Zoro cannot lose 1v1 full health, well fed, not sick, and with 3 swords.
How come Kin and Momo could remember Kanjuuro if he had been turned into a toy?

Translating properly is halfway becoming a lost art these days. Imagine if nips translated English names literally. Oh man would western names be a mouthful considering how much 'meanings' there are to each one.
Kaido - Luffy, Law, and Kid
King - Sanji
Queen - Big Meme and Chopper squad
Jack - Dog and Cat
Flying Six - Rest of straw hats
Orochi - Zoro
His ninja's - Rest of Scabbards
This, where is Xusasu and "Pro Sound"
What happened to mangapanda scans anyways? Honestly at this point I kinda miss having a source of hilarious translations if only so we get more material to post.

Why is Oda such a hack?
Didn't he lose to Vergo?

No, Vergo run away from Chadji
One piece would be better as a novel with occasional illustrations.
vergo ran like a bitch
didn't zoro lose to orochi's fodder assassin lol
*Le Kaido
No, he beat the fodder assassin but took a shameful amount of damage.

What's the trade off for an artificial smile fruit then?
Oda wrote himself into a corner when it came to Zoro.
His only option was to go back with him.

this, taking luffy's pain was the end of zoro being relevant

>name is pirate hunter zoro
>doesn't hunt pirates
I don't think Zoro was ever meant to be relevant to plot in the first place, he's just a funny guy who provides sword fights to One Piece
this, better duo for fightfaggotry plot wise is luffy punches and sanji kicks

Someone actually had sex during One Piece? That seems unusual
Fucking Jap wank. Have to self-insert no matter what the setting is.
Has Orochi been cursed to job to Oden's ghost?
When was the last time they used Overtaken at all? I'm pretty sure it hasn't been used after timeskip at all, and possibly for much longer.
shutenmaru is literally the only samurai we've seen that isn't weak/worthless

>not using one of the most iconic tracks of the anime
These guys went full retard.
Walk to Arlong Park is anime-only btw
definitely used it before 10 vs 100000 on fishman island.
You can easily tell given how much cheaper the animation is, but at least even as filler, it had good composition and worked well with what it had. It's a whole different ballpark than a simple pan across a picture followed by a few reaction faces or slowing down the action by having them grunt and play sumo wrestling with their attacks during every exchange.
>NAMI IS GONNA BECOME TRANS
Really? That's probably my favorite scene in the entire series.
a
I wouldn't call it anime-only, more like an extended scene. The beginning, when Luffy tells the others "Let's go" is in the manga, and Johnny's and Yosaku's speech is also from the manga.
The manga just doesn't show the actual walk.
-rlong didn't put his penis inside Nami. She's still a virgin.
you forgot your sanji picture
But post-ts nami a cute too
sloppy writing
strong eurobeat vibe
Now you know how the Going Merry drifted his way to save the Straw Hats in the storm.

that's one cute nami
The dynamic duo!
whoops, wrong pic
Based.
how can they be a duo if they will rarely see each other?
You haven't been here long then it's like a year old max
Law is not joining the crew in place of Chopper. You need to give it up.
You're right, he's joining in place of Zoro
>then it's like a year old max
it absolutely isn't
desuarchive.org
Well I guess getting badly injured by that attack or getting minor flesh wounds from the nails Hawkins shot at him is a big contrast to when Zoro better much cutted a mountain in half back in dressrosa
Why not? Oda clearly doesn't care about Chopper anymore and forgot his dream
The straw hats have an extra road glyph because Shanks hair rubbed the marking into the inside of the straw hat.
>doubt
Sakura is widely associated with nippon. Hiluluk is from or has been to Wano. Most likely his cure will get used again too.
Chopper never really had a dream. Only autists treat his line about curing all the diseases as one, because they have a compulsive need to file something for each SH as a "dream".
Not that user but we saw Chopper’s dream develop on panel.
Luffy will get sick like Roger did after finding Raftel and Chopper will cure him of what was previously thought incurable, symbolically fulfilling his dream.
>Luffy
>not dying in the end
It just wouldn't work.
>herp derp luffy's journey needs to be an exact copy of Roger's
Brainlets out
>says the fag who wants luffy to get same illness as roger
I'm not that user
It has absolutely nothing to do with Roger. It's the fact that the only way to give narrative end to his journey is by killing him. There's nothing you can do with his character. You can't have him settled down, because that would go against everything he is, and you can't let him keep going, because that would drag the rest of the characters with him, leaving them all and the story on the whole without a satisfying conclusion. Luffy has to die in the end. If he doesn't, Oda won't be able to finish the story.
The crew still being together and exploring the word would be a way better ending than Luffy dying because muh edge with everyone splitting up and settling down. It actually fits the spirit of the series. Also, Luffy already has plans for what he wants to do after becoming the PK
Excellent post user; though Oda is known to subvert expectations and he off paneled Luffy’s real dream, which may give him something to do.
Luffy still has to pay Makino and clear his treasure tab.
>You can't have him settled down, because that would go against everything he is, and you can't let him keep going, because that would drag the rest of the characters with him
You know he can just tag along with Nami to finish the map of the world.
This alone will take decades
Moon People
Sky People
Mountain People
Island People
Underwater People
Raftel is deep underground, buried as its killing blow.
Raftel is on another planet
No, ALL the Straw Hats have to either be permanently together or permanently split up, consequences be damned?
Water 7 sinking? Fuck that, Franky should just stay on the Sunny shoving robot dildos up his ass!!
Zeff on his death bed and needs someone to take over the Baratie? No way, Sanji should just keep orbiting women who barely give him the time of day!
Opening up a clinic and actually helping people with "incurable" diseases? Stupid, Chopper should just keep being a pet and let all of those faggots die.
Teaching the truth of the Void Century and Ohara? The only actually reasonable thing to avoid, the WG is 100% in the right to cover it up.
Why do the contour lines suddenly stop?
there's plenty cooks who can take over Baratie
>implying Sanji won't open his own restaurant at the centre of All Blue
>ALL the Straw Hats have to either be permanently together or permanently split up
This is a cope from rabid anti-luna triggered at the idea of Luffy and Nami spending most of their life together because of their highly compatible life objectives even if just on friendly term
Despite what retards think, All Blue already exists, Zeff said so himself. If it had to be artificially created through a monumental task like destroying Marie Geoise or Reverse Mountain, there wouldn't be any hints to it existing.
That must mean it's somewhere deep in the New World or Calm Belts. If Sanji opened a restaurant there, he'd get maybe 1 customer a decade.
They will be living their own lives by the end of the series, if Luffy is tempted to help Nami finish her map then why not, the rest of the strawhats are not obliged to do the same.
>Sanji's arc
>gets cucked by a woman
>Zoro's arc
>cucks a woman
>if Luffy is tempted to help Nami finish her map then why not
It's not even about helping, I'm pretty sure Luffy would love to keep exploring the worldd
Hancock is a virgin.
>"Despite what retards think, All Blue already exists"
[citation needeed]
Imu likely remodeled the continent after his victory over the Ancient Kingdom, which might be the reason why All Blue doesn't exist anymore and they would need to blow up the red line along with the Pangaea Castle to recreate it.
>blow up the red line along with the Pangaea Castle to recreate it.
Trash theory
Doing that would destroy the world
well her zodiac is virgo
That's what he's talking about. After the timeskip he never once seemed like he was having that much trouble, I don't think he even got injured in his fights properly.
It used to exist. It doesn't anymore. Yet.
>Doing that would destroy the world
That's exactly what the Revs want.
Mariejois and Fishman Island will be destroyed sooner or later. That will be the moment when Luffy will fulfill the promise made to the Mermaid Princess by Joyboy.
>pull me the fuck outta here
What meme translations are you getting these images from?
This isn't what I mean.
Blowing up such a gigantic thing would have very bad consequences. We're talking about a continent sized landmass. I know Oda doesn't care much about real physics but still.
Theories on what Orochi's curse actually is/does?
>sanji: full potential reached, now requires cheat suit to get any stronger, will only burden the crew when stronger foes appear
>Zoro: limitless potential, can only continue to grow and leave sanji in the dust, will protect the crew with his life
One thing I really like about Orochi : FINALLY a villain who takes his opponents really seriousy.
Do you even need to ask? Are you not kinging like kong?
Pathetic. Watch this.
I didn't like Enies Lobby.
forbids him from saying the N word
Ha, I consider Fishman Island to be one of the best arcs in OP. Get on my level.
>Not jobbing yonko commanders
Which one? Page one isn't a Commander, and dodging a jelly bean isn't a fight.
>I'm smart, I don't rike arc for manchildren!
Fishman Island is underrated. I can name at least three arcs that were worse.
>Official Youtube channel banner
Even Yea Forums can't deny Caesar is a Strawhat now.
This arc has been a pain to read. I read 10 pages of the new chapter and forgot about it for 3 days
Marineford, Enies Lobby and ...?
Seek help.
Syrup Village.
Sales prove Wano is garbage. More than 200k people dropped it
IT'S LIKE POETRY
NAMI GOT THE HAT, WENT TO IVANKOV, BECAME A MAN, DYED HER ORANGE HAIR MORE RED, WENT BACK IN TIME, GAVE UP HER ARM...
Wait.
Wait wait wait wait...
Long Ring Long Land is the other.
most people hate FMI for the padding, but I rather see the straw hats show new skills against weaker opponents after 2 years training than seeing characters running for a dozen of characters like in Punk Hazard of Dressrosa
No sign of THE Kaido in several chapters. No wonder Wano is failing.
Based
Cringe
MOTHERFUCKER
Vivi is also shown and there's no Jinbe, so it's not related to crewmembers.
Vivi is a Strawhat.
To be serious, Punk Hazard is one of the three I had in mind.
>he didn't like Foxy & company's super fabulous game show
Fuck off right on outta here mate
PH was wayyy too long for what it was, should have been a 20-25 chapters long arc
>Boyega
This is fake as fuck but there is no way Hollywood is going to cast a black man to play a character with Monkey as his family name.
she is Lucci bitch actually
Punk Hazard, while definitely too long, was still fun and had good worldbuilding and lasting consequences.
>no Jinbe
And the rabbit hole keeps going deeper.
I like both DBF and FMI more than some others arcs
I can tell by some of the pixels, that's a bad photoshop. Well tried though. Everyone knows Jinbe died off screen.
>Posting poorly edited version
here is the original
Well, yeah, Thriller Bark was terrible.
Yo where's Condoriano?
East Blue and Alabasta were the worst parts of the story, it goes straight up next, falls a bit in Punk Hazard/Dresrossa but then goes up again
I think they could still include former crewmates.
Didn’t sales drop in large numbers before Marineford too? Skypiea was torturous to read weekly compared to previous arcs, and at the time was considered a very long arc. May be the birthplace of the nothing happens meme, though ironically it turned out the most happened.
I bet these arcs will be considered similarly. The premier war which is actively starting will dwarf Marineford, and then all these arcs before it will be beloved.
Nami is Uranus.
A better translation for an English understanding of this chapter title is:
>She who controls the weather.
The previous chapter is named “Climate Baton.” Similarly Sanji has a chapter title Mr. Prince and Zoro has one Mr. Bushido.
Agreed. Jaya was the high point of the series.
Syrup Village, Amazon Lily and Orange Town are objectively the worst OP arcs.
>Alabasta were the worst parts of the story
Indirectly insulting Princess Vivi. You should be ashamed.
"You see Luffy, in this world of haki and devil fruits, one absolute remained true: I could never become stronger than a man. Zoro's friend Kuina learned that tragic lesson when she tried to fight the real enemy: stairs. So naturally, I went back in time, had Ivankov turn me into a male, had Lord of D Coast bite off my arm so you wouldn't recognize the tattoo I would eventually get in the future. But I have to warn you Luffy. There's an alternate timeline version of me who just decided to remain a woman and get cyborg augmentations. As a transexual, I simply cannot abide transhumanism. You need to go back in time, become Gol D Roger, and make sure Kuina is able to defeat the staircases one and for all. God speed."
YAMERO
>she who controls the weather
>Shanks splits the sky
But I still don't get why become a man if Haki is a thing. Is woman haki really so goddamn shitty?
Naruto refugee post, Baratie, Arlong Park, Drum Island and Alabsta are kino and had the best crew interactions
What the fuck is even going on in this thread
Baratie is pulled down by the Pearl shit.
Every One Piece arc has padding. Almost a whole volume of EL is straw hats and allies fighting fodders
"Ivankov was a mistake." - Crocodile, Alabasta.
Shanks hair color is different than Nami’s, in that it’s the only grey shaded color in the manga.
>Impel Down: Or How Crocodile Got His Groove Back
I love this man, no homo.
Well, putting aside if Shanks is genderbent time traveling Nami, he does say to Coby that Coby has for better or worse, changed history.
That much would imply he has seen history. Even without time travel, we do see that premonition and genderbending are actually things you can do in One Piece. And we do have time travel, but currently, just forward time travel.
>in that it’s the only grey shaded color in the manga.
yes, that's to indicate it's dyed and not natural
Is this a new theory? That Nami is Shanks(or Shanks is Nami?)
Cause I've seen Crocomom, but this is the first time I've seen Shanks = Nami. Folks have always suspected Shanks had some tie to Luffy, so I guess this might work once you get over the obvious "But why the fuck would Nami become a dude?"
What happened to the live action One Piece serie? Did it got cancelled?
what was benkei's fucking problem?
Interesting headcanon, mine is that it’s related to the road Poneglyphs, the only other grey tones.
Thank you based user.
Don't worry, when Nami finally figures out how to get Luffy to take her virginity, Oda will start shading her hair darker.
He uses black for that.
I mean it's a pretty clever disguise if you have light orange hair to just make it crimson red.
Harder to tell it's dyed.
So Kuina didn't really die but after prompting idiot Luffy talking about the plan after saving her, she decides to put her on dream first by finding Ivankov to turn her into a male.
Her dad agrees and fakes his doughters death.
>"The woman who controls the weather"
I think I'm victim of a parallel reality, I was always sure the title was "the weapon which controls the weather"
...
Its technically not even virginity, its just sex outside of marriage, which is why Big Mom's hair is still unshaded.
Do we have any examples of people who have definitely fucked, and THEN married?
That’s the previous chapter.
