He was influenced by Usopp, just like Luffy was.

Fucking Usopp man, what an influential pervert.

You know, on another note; Zoro has never been seeing ogling or even paying attention to another woman while pretty much the rest of the male crew has at least made small quips. Could Zoro be gay? Or perhaps asexual-sort of like Luffy? WHO KNOWS!

Also, ChopperXRobin is pedo-furry shit and you should feel ashamed.

>>26905
The only boner Zoro gets is the bone of his sword, romance would only take time away from training and dull the blade.

>>Also, ChopperXRobin is pedo-furry shit and you should feel ashamed.
Yes.
If anyone is seriously saying there is romantic hints there they should slap themselves.

>>26905
>pays no attention to women
>only person he has shown consistent emotions for is Sanji
>treat each other like the boy who kicks his pre-school crush cause he likes her

Yeah, alright; you ain't slick, bitch.
I bet they go at it hard up in the crow's nest.

>>26907
... Except Sanji goes completely gaga for the ladies.

Shonen rivalry=/= yaoi buttbuddies

>>26908
Sanji is overcompensating, HARDCORE, for his flaming homosexual urges. OVBVIOUSLY.

>>26908
Did you not see that chapter where he started deepthroating a banana while unwaveringly looking Zoro straight in the eyes and moaning? It's like you don't even pay attention to the shit you read.

>>26908
>Shonen rivalry=/= yaoi buttbuddies
Do you mean to suggest to me that you watch sCRYed and don't immediately think "Those two are going to fuck at some point?"

>>26907
Zoro yells at Nami almost as much as he yells at Sanji. He just doesn't try to take her down.

People I think it's clear how romance works in One Piece.

Nakama are not romantic partners. As such it's impossible for nakama to be that way with one another.

This doesn't stop Ussop from getting together with Kaya or Zorro with Tashigi (however unlikely that is) but it's pretty clear that once you're apart of Luffy's crew it's Nakama or bust.

>>26913
Actually, out of all "possible" ships involving Zoro, I think Zoro and Tashigi are the most likely. Assuming their rivalry dies at some point.

Anyone else for forever alone Sanji?

Why must our love be secret?

>>26914
Sanji is indeed too much of a wazzock to actually end up with a girl, Okama end is actually more plausible than him getting a wife.

>>26914
What rivalry?

>>26886
... I for one ADORE these two as a mom and pop sort of scenario.
As far as other shipping goes I don't really care as much.

My secret shame ...

What happened to the last shipping thread? Seems like we have need of one to soak up all this shipping-sap thats appeared out of nowhere...

totes my OTP 4reezy

I ship the entire crew together having massive orgys for fun in between adventures

>>26921
Seems like the pirate way.

>>26922
Rum & Sodomy for all!

>>26921
Shame that Brook can't join in with his lack of a penis and all.

Though then again, he can poop without the muscles, so perhaps maybe he could piss without the muscles ???

...


GHOST PENIS.




I mean ....

SOUL PENIS.

>>26926

He'd just kill the mood by constantly making boner jokes.

>>26918
It's no shame. Some time I'm going to go back and compile a mosaic of their time together, quotes in their conversation, etc. They're very closely written but as Oda does, it's not any kind of forefront or distracting aspect.

I must be pretty unobservant because I fail to feel these vibes you people are getting from between Robin and Franky.

>>26929
Dude the first thing he said to her when they reunited was "Who's that sexy lady there? It's Robin!"

>>26930
Don't forget about Robin groping up Franky in Enies Lobby, painful for him, sure. But you could totally tell she was into it with that grin on her face.

>>26929
She felt his balls at one point, didn't she? That means they're married.

>>26930
*shrug* She is a sexy lady. He's that kind of guy, just not as bad as Sanji or Brook.

>>26931
I chalked that up to her being morbidly direct in coercing him. And she does enjoy morbid things. Not to mention they were made an easier target. When a someone got you by the balls, how can you refuse?

Maybe my mind is too dead to the notion of shipping in One Piece to let the feels in.

Yeah, that's just it: this is a no-hugging-no-kissing sort of story. Yeah, Franky and Robin have their moments of seeming like the Bumbling Dad and Competent Mom for the crew and even maybe saying things that could be taken as flirtatious to each other from time to time, but it's not something that registers as Meaningful Romantic Development. Ship it or treat it as fanon if you want, but if you think they're going to "end up together" in-series or anything, you've forgotten which manga you're reading.

I'd imagine the only reason Oda writes Robin and Franky closely is solely because of their similarity in age and "maturity." They're the oldest of the Strawhats. Brook doesn't count cause he's like a retarded 16-year-old

>>26932
I grope and closely inspect all of my friends' balls upon meeting them. Even smell.
Means nothing.

>>26901
>>26904
lol I guess I should have said I was talking about the most likely relationship if we were to only take people in the crew together and their chemistry. I do like Usopp and Kaya and if there's a "where is the crew now" after the series ends I'd assume they would be together but I've watched and read this ridiculously long series for so long I kinda forget about the people waiting back home because they appear so little

>>26935
Robin and Franky shared that moment back in Water 7/Enies Lobby where Franky talked about there is nothing inherently evil about existence

You can gather a fair amount of 'evidance' for many 'pairings' amongst the Strawhats, but none of them are likely going to happen.

>>26938
The most you can say is that they've good chemistry. And Franky and Robin have good chemistry.

...and Usopp actually has a love interest, but whatever.

>>26939
Indeed he does, but she isn't a strawhat.

>>26939
Robin is always ignoring Franky when she's not being outright perplexed by him. Probably cause she's a closet lesbian. So.

>Robin's face when people ship her with Franky and his docking habits

Robin and Nami actually has validity. Out of everyone, Robin seems to have the most fun with her and they seem to spend a fair amount of time together. I found that before the timeskip she had a closer, more intellectual relationship with Chopper and it seemed like they actually talked and got along really well, but ever since the timeskip all Chopper does is cry and scream at shit and they don't really interact much now.

The fact that they have never shown interest in men besides manipulating them for some purpose also helps the ship. I like to think Robin makes a move on her one day while they're looking through clothing catalogs in the fish tank room alone (which is something they've done in the series)

>>26943
You're silly, stop being silly.

>>26943
All Chopper does is what? If anything he cries and screams less now, he's much less of a coward and so much more sure of himself.

>>26943
Have you never heard of a "older sister" relationship?

By this logic, Luffy is gay.

>>26946
Duh, he's always loved swallowing meat.

>>26943
This is all I have to say.

>A handful of posts talking about the chapter
>Dozens of posts full of stupid shipping bullshit

Well, it's been real /op/

Okay, okay. Now let's see... Because if I see it correctly. It's up to Chopper to save the caged crewmates alla MR. PRINCE!

>>26951
Zoro and co are still out there too. Not sure what's going to happen to Usopp and Nami. It would be pretty great if Usopp had an anti-logia pop green hidden away somewhere.

>>26950
You must be new here.

>>26949
Proving the point that Chopper's only interesting when he's not Chopper.
Franky is so cool that he makes anyone else cool by being them.

I've said this before, but this arc is like taking crazy pills. Did you know doflamingo was going to be involved? I sure wasn't. I thought this arc was going to be mythical animal related, what with the centaurs, fauns and dragon. But the dragon was like an goddamn apetizer. Now we got slimes, a harpy, a vegapunk lab, a gas logia vegapunk number 2, a supernova-sichibukai, an island transformed into fire and ice by two admirals, giant children addicted to candy, body switching, a samurai that can cut explosions, smoker and tashigi, and giant yetis.

If you asked someone normal to read one of these chapters, it would blow their fucking mind at how this wierdness is absolutely normal to us (relatively)

>>26957
and people say that Oda is running out of ideas

>>26957
Don't forget that same samurai has been just a head most of the time. Oda's gotta be one of the most creative people I've ever seen. I remember thinking One Piece was fairly unusual when I first got into it but looking back East Blue was pretty straight forward and not that weird. The two main villains from that arc were a pirate admiral who used weapons and a merman, pretty tame by comparison to Oars and Moriah or Enel and his priests.

Who would have thought the craziness continued in dressrosa?
