Fuck you. ;~;

>>8313
Fuckin' thing was sinking man, did you all a favor.

From the looks of things some of the characters are trying to get back to the Archipelago. So will they all make their way to the archipelago, or will Luffy have to come find them?

I picture a narration sequence...

"The fates in there eternal nature, conspire to bring together the forces that will change the world" or something.

and all of them showing up at almost the same time, or one after another at Shakky's Bar.

Chopper will be weeping the entire time.

>>8337
I think they're all gonna get back to the bar around the same time, with Luffy the last to come in.

>>8346
And it'll be set to Don't Stop Believing by Journey

BAD END

>>8353
DON'T STOP-
*lights off*
BANG
THUD
*lights on*
"What the hell just happened?!"
"Some guy shot me in the head! He almost hit my hat!"
"Damn, looks like the bullet bounced right back at him."
"You'd think they would've learned by now."

  It has been 75 chapters and 92 weeks since Oda seperated the Strawhats. If Chapter 600 were to actually be the chapter the crew gets back together, and Oda doesn't take another break after next week's, it'll mean that Chapter 600 comes out on September 8th, 2010, exactly two years since it happened. And that's even assuming we're right about this, and he isn't gonna just focus on something else.

Oda, baby, I love you, but seriously...

>>8379
Are they still not back to ShZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

this is how Usopp gets back to Shabody. calling it now.

>>8379
This hurts my brain...

>>8379
Yeah, it's been a long time, but just think how fucking sweet it'll be to have the crew back together. Besides, I reiterate that I've called 600 as the moment they're reunited, not necessarily the first time we'll see any of them again. This flashback seems to be pretty much done and we've got 16 chapters of story to get through. That's a decent chunk of time to catch up to the others and that may be warranted if we are indeed getting a timeskip.

Great news, everyone. Stephen has decided to return:
http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=28057

In case you don't know who he is, Stephen is the best translator One Piece had. Dramatic reenactment of a translation argument with him around:
Dude1: Blah blah on this page this dude says this blah blah
Dude2: Stephen says he doesn't.
Dude1: Oh no I am so sorry please allow me to chop my balls off as penance.

>>8438

I never thought this day would come. AP was a different place when this guy was around, maybe things will change for the better.

>>8398
You're halfway to omnipotence.

Glad I have the E3 hype to distract me this week, because no One Piece makes everything go by so much slower :<
Get here faster next week!

So I'm guessing the spoilers almost always coming in on the same day as the scans now is a result of this "crackdown" thing?

>>8537
Wait, what crackdown thing?

let's discuss how tall San Juan Wolf is.

>>8539
The one on raw and (more recently) scanlated manga (at least online readers for them). You know, the one that's why they took off all the RAWs from mangahelpers?

>>8544
He seems to be perpetually squatting, so that makes things a bit more complicated.

Wild Mass Guess from TV Tropes: "Sanji will learn Death Wink from Ivankov. When he uses it though it takes a new form because of his eyebrow, SPIRAL DEATH WINK! His wink will be the wink that pierces the heavens and the distance between man and woman. OKAMA SANJI! "

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/OnePiece

>>8546

To be more clear: there is no actual crackdown occurring at this time. Some publishing companies said they would be performing a crackdown, and mangahelpers shut themselves down in response to that. No legal action has taken place at this time and I wouldn't be surprised if it never does.

>>8550
I know that one hasn't gone anywhere, I just wonder if that guilt trip thing that suddenly got a bunch of RAWs taken down has anything to do with the spoilers coming way later than they used to.

I don't really care about spoilers anyway, I'm just curious.

Blackbeard and his crew need to show up more and Ivankov needs to make one more appearance to tell Croc's secret otherwise we'll NEVER GET ANY ANSWERS

>>8553
I am going to say that Croc used to be a girl until proven otherwise

>>8547
...that'd be MAGNIFICENT. Also, I wonder if Ivankov will be how Sanji returns to Saobondy.

I realized why (at least I) recognized Sabo

>>8562

>>8563
His father wrote him a song and it goes like this:
"OH LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE
YA KNOW THE WORLD'S GONE CRAZY AND IT AIN'T SAFE ON THE STREET
OH IT'S A DRAG I KNOW
THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE TO GO
I'M GOIN' HOME
OH YEAH
I'M GOIN' HOME"

>>8564

And appropriately, his response:

"LIFE ON THE INSIDE AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE
YOU KNOW THE KIDS HAVE GONE CRAZY AND THEY'LL STICK YA FOR A SLICE OF CHEESE
WELL IT'S A DRAG I KNOW
THERE'S ONLY ONE PLACE TO GO
BABY, BACK WHERE I COME FROM, I'M COMIN HOOOME"

>>8563
Yeah that was done by a friend of mine after we were both like "OH SHIT"

>>8569
I'd be wary about putting the word "pirate" on your butt.

BROOK WRITTAN NEW SONGS

ZORO FIGHTAN WOLVERINES

>>8626
Goodness but I love Perona's voice actress. She can switch from annoyingly cutesy to furious to horohorohoroing at the drop of a hat.

Also, on the subject of the anime, did last week's Robin and Usopp episode remind anyone else of movie six? The animation style and directing made me wonder if the same team was involved.

What would happen if some Zoan baddie stole Chopper's Rumble Balls, and not knowing the rules about them, decided that if one could make a Zoan more powerful, then like ten or 15 at once must work even BETTER?

I'm sort of picturing the end of that Splicing episode of Batman Beyond.

>>8674
I was picturing something more akin to Scanners.

This has been bugging me for a while. Where does Sanji get his ingredients? What does he buy pre-made, and what does he make himself?

How does Sanji not go crazy worrying about ingredient quality and end up making everything himself? Because the mental image of Sanji performing backbreaking labor just to prepare the ingredients required to make just ONE of the pieces of food Luffy devours in his DEVOUR EVERYTHING mode is hilarious. All that work for one generic piece of anime meat, or anime bread.

>>8779
Well Nami divides up the money for the crew, they're not like the Bebop where there broke all the time. Whenever they stop by an island Sanji buys food. And remember G8 (sure it was filler) he could make great food from the scraps.

>>8779
Sanji goes out to buy ingredients all the time.

Do you think Devil Fruit have any type of nutritional impact, or would eating one only give you powers, and not be any form of food?

I mean, Oda's said after one bite, it just becomes a bad tasting fruit, so I'm guessing it would.

I must say I'm a little frustrated 457 turned out to be a flashback recap to ALL THE EPS ACE WAS MENTIONED IN. Stop stalling, Toei

>>8804
next week man just one more week before the pure animated awesome

>>8805
As long as Toei makes it worth the wait

some caps from the episode preview for the hell of it

Moria's faces amuse me greatly

>>8809
I think Mihawk wants to arm wrestle

>>8809>>8810
"My hand is here... Why is there NOT a beer in it?"

>>8811
He does look sorta disappointed.

>>8811
Donflamgino stole it, that's why he's got a bigger grin than usual.

>>8804
That's actually pretty useful for the average anime watcher, though. Last time we saw Ace was a while ago.

I wonder if they're going to replay the golden apple bit.

Just curious. How does /op/ feel about all the filler as of late?

>>8820
It's over now that's all I care about

>>8820
canon crew filler is fine by me, gotta find out how the strawhats get back somehow. Considering the recent ones were cliffhanger-ish, I reckon there will be one more round of them after the war

If you guys had a chance to send in a question to Oda's SBS what would you ask?

Off the top of my head I want to know if there are any female Marine soldiers.

I know there are women higher in the ranks, like Tsuru, Hina, Tashigi and that unnamed giant soldier but the ones running around just seem to be men.

>>8824
Bellemere was one of the standard goons, but I'm not sure if we've seen any others since her.

I'd ask the names of the unnamed Devil Fruits seen in the Sabaody and Marinford arcs.

>>8824
For a serious question, I'd ask for final clarification about that line Luffy made in Chapter Two about "getting a crew of ten or so" and whether that means two more crewmates are to come. I know we're pretty sure he meant that he did, but I want the answer straight from the horse's mouth. Either that, or I'd ask if there's some significance to the tattoos on Monkey D. Dragon's face.

For a less serious question, I would ask about what popular song he think would best fit each of the Strawhats, or whether or not Zoro's hair is naturally green.

>>8824
>>8825

>>8826
People seem way too focused on this, it really just seems like a throwaway line by Luffy.

>>8820
The crew filler showed me that Toei's episode pacing retardation has to do with circumstances and not skill. On their own, without a release schedule to keep their distance from, they're actually pretty good.

>>8824
I'd probably ask:
- What song he'd pick for each Strawhat (damn you spreeses, you beat me to it!)
- If the Straw hats where a band, what would they play and who would be the singer?
- Who would he cast in a live action OP movie?
or
- If he could write a solo book about one OP character, who would it be about?

>>8833
These are all really good.

I'd also like to ask what the Strawhats would look like if they were twenty years older, just to get some cool drawings and maybe a repeat of the Rule 63 fanart boom.

>>8832
You know, I wonder what, years down the line, it's gonna be like when the manga is over but there's still a sizable amount left for the anime to adapt.

>>8835
in 3D

>>8836

3D One Piece would be pretty awesome.

>>8837
It's like I'm really getting a gum gum pistol to the face!

  http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=17121

>>8824
I'd wager female marine grunts are rarer than the dudes but the real reason Oda doesn't show them is it might get a little awkward for the reader to watch Luffy smash through or Zoro cut down hundreds of women without any effort like they normally do against grunts...and it's easier to draw hundreds of generic men at the same time.

Hell it might be an interesting question to ask, find out how things are organised.
Co-ed ships might cut down on all the sodomy (the fine naval tradition that it is though)

>>8841
You know what would be fucking awesome?

if they used that song as bgm in the episode made for the chapter titled after it

This is just awesome.

... Why the hell is /co/ the only place for good One Piece topics on 4chan? It's like someone whacked /a/ with a crazy stick.

>>8856

>>8857

>>8827
...huh
for some reason I keep seeing Revy when I look at Bellemere's face here

>>8856
Are the mods okay with that? Because I remember having good OP threads on /co/ that were deleted far too early.

>>8858
My God, she really is quite pretty.

What a nice couple.

>>8875
You sure they aren't siblings? They've got the same nose.

>>8876
The person who posted it on CAPSLOCK MUGIWARA said that they were dating.

>>8878
Siblings can date.

What? They can... It's just morally reprehensible to a large portion of society.

>>8878
But, I mean... Look at them. Same nose, same mouth, same face shape, and even the same nasolobial crease placement.

Maybe they're narcissists.

>>8875
The Girl could have a done a better job hiding her bra.
It would have been such a nice costume.

Just try to keep your head from exploding due to awesome.

>>8961
I watched this happen real time, lol

>>8961
We need an AMV of this, like, two days ago.

>>8962
I'm not sure if I would have been able to handle that.

theory: Robin can clone any part of her body
let's say she is pregnant, and in the middle of giving birth
then she makes 100 of her torso

does she make 100 babies?

>>8970
She can only make copies of her own body, those hundred torsos will have stretch marks and baby fat, but no baby.

>>8975

technically the baby would be part of her body.

>>8975
If it works that way (not copying different organism even if they're inside or part of her body) I wonder if that means her generated limbs are perfectly sterile.

>>8970
It would never come up. Women in labor are far too busy being in labor to do much of anything else.

  >>8963
sorry about the quality, i was young

>>8985
and the fact that it's in swedish!

>>8985
>Swedish Scar
I knew I had heard thta voice b4!

This one still makes me laugh.
