Spandam's not a marine, and Vergo pretended to have a strong sense of justice and maturity. But Garp wasn't clever enough to hide that he was letting his grandson go from the superiors, he breaks down walls and whines about building them back up, and he acts on a personal justice just like his grandson. They're extremely alike, with Garp only slightly having more of a head on his shoulders. Dragon's the odd one out in that he actually seems to act like an adult.
Hell, the G-5 Marines are formed explicitly out of troops who have no wit, maturity or good sense of justice. Each one of them is just as bad as any pirate, just happening to be on the side of law and service.

>>31363
Standing next to your adopted grandson and letting him be killed is the biggest difference between Garp and Luffy.
The G-5 example also just helps my claim that people like that would never raise in the ranks. So if Luffy were a Marine, he'd be comparable to the status of G-5.

>>31362
It's like you're not even paying attention to what you read or the discussions you jump into.

i dont really know where else to put this so im just assuming t his is the genera l thread until former notice but DEM SPOILERS YO

Oda needs a team of supermodel nurses like whitebeard had to keep all these hiatuses from happening

>>31327
Might be a good idea to give up the ciggies

MISTER PRINCE.

MISTER PRINCE.

MISTER PRINCE.

Pell is easily the most bullshit survival in the series, he had no reason to survive it and every reason to have died.

>>31244
Or so we think.

Ah, but you see, that's currently a Macross style missile pod, so everything's cool, bro.

>>31199
They're just there because slightly important stuff that happened in the news. It's a newspaper backdrop.

I can only assume its going to be a pretty big deal in the future

>>31124
You're probably used to watching it without commercials. That can tend to disrupt the feeling of proper timing.

>>31124
I didn't watch it. LOL
Totally slipped my mind and forgot about it.

Honestly? If it comes down to it I'll watch the dub when I have a choice. I still think it's one of the dedicated dub works out there.

>>31132

>>31130
What? That wasn't a mistake! He was on UNBELIEVABLY FLOATY WOOD, man. Of course he was going to stay atop the water when he's on Unbelievably Floaty Wood.

I wanna see more Elizabello, or hell, just more crazy-ass Grand Line kings in general.

That punch was awesome.

Am I good steel? Uguu~

>Don Chin-Jao's going apeshit!

I don't know why but I laughed

>>30945
Yeah but where's he going with all these guys. How long will the chapters be focused on this one segment of the tournament. Nevermind the rest of it or all the plot threads going on outside of the tournament

>>30946
>Yeah but where's he going with all these guys

To the Tenkaichi Budokai zone, where he gets to play with a bunch of new toys with little regard on their future use, beyond potential future cover arcs.

I like to think Oda just drew like, dozens of character sketches and then laid them all out for his wife and she just pointed to the ones that would make it in.

>>30907
It doesn't have to be.

Hey everyone, do yourself a favor and watch episode 602, it's really well done.

>tfw Dressrosa will be lazily animated

The coliseum fights could look spectacular but I'm cringing just thinking about all the corners they'll probably cut

>>31487
I actually watched a small part of it, the first I've actually watched of anime since giving up at Fishman Island.

The one scene I saw was honestly like a perfect summary of why I stopped. It was zoro, kin, sanji and brook running from shinokuni and it was needlessly dragged on and on and on and on with animation loops and repeated dialogue.

I may force myself to watch it from the beginning at some point but that really killed my will to bother trying it again

I really can't think of it. It can't be the Marines, it can't be somebody from before Punk Hazard, chances of it being Monet or Vergo are just crazy low... who's left that would actually be on the ship? Is it gonna be ANOTHER new person?

"No no no.. this simply won't do."

That's all the hint we have so far.
My guess is that it's another "fairy" trying to steal stuff. A cohort of the one Zoro is dealing with.

I just realized that if FIGHTING LION or FIGHTING BULL won... then they would become FIRELION or FIREBULL.

I... I think I want Lucy to lose now.

>>30720
pfft, shame on you for not wanting to see mera mera ricky.

guy is basically Spanish gigantor.

>>30727
Get the Franky Shogun in there, Clash of the Titans!

Personally I hate it. The entire contrived concept of "This is strong dude. WHOA THIS DUDE BEAT HIM UP, HE IS STRONG DUDE." is only worse with Oda putting a third "WHOAAALY SHIIIIT THIS DUDE BEAT STRONG DUDE! HEEEEEE ISSSSS STRRRRRROOOOOOONG DUUUUUDE!!!!!!!!!"

>>30575
From the looks of it, it's more body swapping than tier exchanging.

>>30575
I think that's part of the humor.

It's also starting some couple hundred eps in. People who've never seen the show or read the manga are going to know they've missed a lot.
For me, I wouldn't watch a show that started so far in. I'm a completionist kind of consumer. I want all of it. Why not start from ep 1, I know FUNi's done it from the beginning.

>It will begin with episode 207

Aw, I wanted to watch the whole series with /co/.

May?
That was sooner than I thought.

And this thread cam much later than I thought.

Yeah, no. As far as anime and current serialized manga goes, One Piece fandom takes the cake for being the most pants on head insane about their theories and predictions. Go spend a few days in AP forums, then come back and tell me this is normal.

I've had people argue with me about certain possible future plot developments because, according to them, they had been studying every volume cover since the beginning and found "hidden clues" left in them from Oda.

>>30500
Ah Jesus. That's not what I meant. I even considered briefly it could be misconstrued as this and I guess I still misrepresented my point and folks wanna take a bite.
This guy got the gist >>30501
>>30503
Maybe you're not twisting them with your completely off sided altering of them into a sentence to represent what you think I said, but if that's the case then I just used the wrong words. What I was talking about has nothing to do with critique or positive or negative comments directly or indirectly to an artist, it's the lack of objectivity in art. What's good or bad is this medium most of all is subjective to every individual that consumes it.
To tell an artist to or to say that an artist should change something because you and however many others in agreement don't like it or find it lacking or whatever, or that it should be done another way is where you can fuck off.

Changing someone's expression, in this case Oda's artwork in specific of female characters, even if it offends something good like the cease of unrealistic idealization of women, is just unacceptable. No one has a right to try to do that.

Of fucking course you can say bad things about it, you have all the rights to that. And of fucking course you can't censor comments and critique and only say good things because then you settle and grow comfortable in a form that's inherently weak because you've never faced the wrongs of it. You're getting no upper hand in arguing that stupidly blatant fact.

>>30528
Y'know, maybe if you hadn't responded to someone finding the unnaturally stick-like waists and finding them creepy personally as such you wouldn't be needing to make this post now. What's the point of defending 'art' in such a manner over someone disliking one facet of the series artstyle.

>>30409
He cut Hodi because Hodi was a real threat, but nobody else. He plays with the octopus, half-ignoring him until he's forced to break the guy's toys. He does the same with Monet in slicing her so she can't control herself in fear, which simply doesn't look as amazing since she's the type that can get cut in half and survive from it.
All he's done is end fights quickly because he's bored of them since the timeskip. He's taken NOBODY seriously, Monet's just not an exception to that rule. Hell, the only exception has been in the new movie, where he gets serious against a female swordsman.

>>30410
But that wasn't enough to end the fight with Monet, She was still going for him until Tashigi backstabbed her.
It seems like Tashigi was just there so Zoro didn't have to seriously injure a woman.

And did Oda do the writing for the new movie like how he was deeply involved in Strong World?

>>against a female swordsman.
Ain isn't a swordswoman she's a fruit user who happens to use weapons.
