HEY! HEY LOOK AT LUFFY'S ARM!

Mr. Beige!!!! NOOO!

... QUICK SOMEONE TAKE SOME SCREENSHOTS OF THE UNDERSIDE OF SHIKI'S SHIP!

D :

Oh... Yeah okay fine...

>>9950
fffuuuu-
I can see two letters crossed off but I can't tell what it's supposed to read!

Franky's face is awesome

>>9956
And horrifying.

This chapter was fucking awesome, glad I didn't look at the spoilers.

And would you get a look at all the blatant murder and gore going on now? the onscreen deaths of two such major characters has opened the floodgates

>>9958
They're just incredibly minor characters. It's not like those haven't died before.

JESUS. FUCKING. CHRIST.

OH GOD FRANKY

>>9950

OH SHIT! I DIDN'T NOTICE! Looks a little different from Ace's though.

anybody else kinda glad

"Brownbeard" got his comeuppance?

So whats that Luffy's tattoo spells out anyway? Looks like a really bad typo of Saobody or something.

HEY GUYS WHAT IF VIVI UNDERSTOOD THE MESSAGE TOO HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

Been trying to figure out what that damn tattoo says since the spoilers came out. Shit's impossible.

FORSOOTH

Nice tattoo Luffy.
ALSO COBY HEY HEY HI OMG

>>9965
According to regular /a/ (yes, they are actually useful for something), the tattoo looks like S(sbo) A(ce) (Mr.)2 W(hitebeard).

Oh shit I didn't notice!
Luffy got a tattoo??

That's actually kinda awesome!

FORSOOTH.

>>9968
The last one could be a W though I looks to me more like a Y, but there's no way the second letter is an A.

Im shaking my head at the people on /a/ who honestly believe the tattoo is a message to the crew, why would Oda waste Luffy getting a tattoo for a message that will have no meaning after they meet up again.

Also Capone getting sucked into a New World island, god damn, vacuum islands and lighting shooting islands, scary shit.

>>9973
That's the New World for you. To the people there, the first half of the Grand Line, with all its slavery and government oppression and sea kings and calm belts and Aqua Lagunas, in paradise.

>>9973
>why would Oda waste Luffy getting a tattoo for a message that will have no meaning after they meet up again.
If it were temporary.

This is gonna be crazy.

>>9975
Which makes me excited to see some of the shit Luffy and the others will go through.

death to brownbeard
Luffy's got a tattoo
Supernova moving around
Capone dead?
New admiral?
maybe enel + Urouge?

god i'm loving one peice lately.

heck, I always love it.

>>9950

- Looks like 2 letters crossed out, "S" and "A" would make the most sense.
- The bell has a seagull on top of it. Maybe it's some kind of World Government/Marines symbol, or related to Sengoku's family?
- Probably just for artistic effect, but it looks like Luffy has sakura petals floating past him.
- PANDA MAN!

>>9982
>The bell has a seagull on top of it. Maybe it's some kind of World Government/Marines symbol, or related to Sengoku's family?

I think the seagull has been established as a Marine symbol for a while. Hell, Morgan's prosthetic jaw has the German word for "seagull" on it.

SA2Y

SAbody2ndYard

there's my theory

>>9984
Ohhhhhh, that makes sense! Also explains why everyone's like "I GET YOUR MESSAGE, LUFFY!"

OK, this just kind of confuses me.

Oda established the hierarchy of the Marines in the SBS of Volume 8, with the Fleet Admiral being the highest, and stuck to it since but now it seems he suddenly introduced a rank above that.

Unless "Pan-Fleet Admiral" is just an honorary rank Kong was given or technically isn't part of the Marines, just the World Government.

OH GOD. CAN'T. STOP. LAUGHING. NEED AIR.

>>9987
The spoilers translated this guy's title as "Commander-in-Chief." That usually denotes someone in charge of ALL armed forces. So while he's superior to the Marines, he's not a member.

>>9989
Yeah, something like Secretary of Defense is what I though when I saw him.

Franky will now become the Kenny of One Piece

He'll be taken apart over and over again

>>9988

VERILY.

>>9988

this has "what the fuck am I reading" macro written all over it.

>>9998

>>9996
Wouldn't that make him more like the Red Tornado?

>>9999
Okay that's just lazy. Make it a gif with a transparent background you lazy bum.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN YOUR 10000TH POST!

>>10000
Huh...
What does this mean for me, and more importantly, what does this mean for the Red Tornado?

8 Points formed by two squares

This is the traditional Star of Ishtar. Composed of two intertwined squares, this is a symbol of regeneration. It is a symbol for the natural universe interweaving order and disorder, yin and yang, to create an ultimately harmonious and balanced design.

so, the heads of the marines want balance, so they aren't opposed to pirates, but want to keep things balanced between them. Blackbeard wants to overthrow that balance.

eh, i'm probably looking too much into this, but you never know with One Piece.

>>9984

Sabaody Archipelago 2nd Yarukiman

Kinda makes sense.

>>9987
>>9989

Yeah, according to big-shot translator guy Aohige, Kong's title is "総帥" which is literally "Commander of all armed forces." So "Commander-in-Chief" seems about right, and he's be placed here in the hierarchy.

>>10016
I flipped my shit

>>9984
Sabo, Ace, Mr.2, Whitebeard

>>10016
>>10024

It could be both.

SMOKER GOING TO THE NEW WORLD

MAYBE BECOMING AN ADMIRAL? WHO KNOWS

>>10026
...how could a Y stand for Whitebeard?

...Y-tebeard? haha seems luffyish enough

>>10028
Smoker is good, but no where near Admiral level

I should really reread some chapter so see if I am right on this but, I have a theory on Blackbeard. I wonder if the reason he has more than on power is because he uses the same technique they use to give items power. Just on certain body parts. So his right arm has the quake ability while his left has the darkness.

>>10033
Oh wait never mind. He used his left hand for both.

>>10032
Monkey D. Dragon. For the many lives you've cut short, the many islands you've turned against the World Government, the attempt to use the ancient history to strengthen your forces, and for getting my cigars wet, I'm placing you and your men under arrest.

>>10031
Clearly he went to the same guy that did Ace's tattoo.

[spoiler] it's just a temp tattoo

>>9960
Crucified and with giant spikes stuck through thier chests big and bold for all the world to see?

I don't know why it's so funny to me that Zoro needs extra time to find Luffy's message.

>>10043
...
...
OH, I GET IT!

>>10055
I don't. ;_;

honestly, i don't get the message at all.

>>10043>>10055
If there's any justice in this world, Zoro will follow these instructions and wander his way through EVERY Shonen Jump title for about a month.

>>10056
No, the joke in that Zoro needs extra time to find the message.

>>10057
Fund it.

>>10056>>10058

To elaborate, Zoro, Luffy's first mate, the guy who always knows when Luffy's got a plan, can't figure this shit out.

>>10060
Actually I was thinking that he can't physically find it because his sense of direction is just that bad.

Can someone tell me why Rayleigh can't just move the Card that all the others are pointing to, directing the crew to somewhere safe?

>>10060
It really seems to be he's just the one who's being shown going through and voicing the reasoning behind it being a message, and Rayleigh being involved.

>>10067
Because that isn't what the message is about? And he has no idea that Kuma has appeared while he was swimming the Calm Belt

>>10067

maybe Shakky is super badass and Rayleigh thinks they'll be safe if they can get to her.

>>10070
I'm not really on about the messege, before heading for Amazon Lily he could of gotten the card and took it with him.

>>10071
But he doesn't that is why he is making Luffy send the messege for them to move somewhere else.

>>10067 >>10072
Are you sure you're understanding Luffy's message?

>>10073
I'm not talking about Luffy's messege. I'm talking about Reyleigh and why didn't he just take the original Vivre card with him.

GUYS I FUCKING FIGURED IT OUT

TWO BELLS FOR EACH OF HIS NAKAMA.

>>10078
Why two?

>>10079

I don't remember which story it comes from, but a man rings many times, half the rings count as the people he's calling for, and the other half is ringing to call them back.

>>10075
Because he wanted them to head back to thier ship instead of on a merry chase through dangerous places...Duh?

16 rings mean their rally point would be groove 16 in the shabody archipelago, since Raleigh is there

Shabody Archipelago, 2 Weeks (the Japanese word for weeks stats with a Y) Grove 16.

Double Meaning, this is my era now.

Now wait for the next chapter were one of the following will occur:

-Oda does a complete 180 and tells our theories to go to Hell.
-Oda piles on even more confusing events that lead to further questions and speculation.
-Hiatus; has to bang wife.
-All of the above

Calling it now.

We, the readers, don't have sufficient information to piece together the message. It will be revealed in time.

>>10142
>-Hiatus; has to bang wife.

>>10147
Damm Oda's wife is hot

As a man I fully support his need to take Hiatus after Hiatus for that woman

>>10142

>>10147
So he married Nami. Holy shit.

>>10138
Got damn

>>10149
You're kidding, right?
Half her face looks like is melting off. Like one of those Dali pictures.
Also, dat nose and 13-year-old boy body.
Hmm-mm~

>>10227
You're just mad YOU'RE not having a hiatus with Oda.

Well he also has to make sure he spends time with his kids as well as his wife, his family is more important than his manga I think.

>>10147
DOSE SHOES

>>10225
Also, he based Nami on his wife originally. Hell, his wife even cosplayed as Nami once at a convention.

>>10283
That isn't true, didn't he meet her AFTER she she played the part of Nami in the stageshow?

Apostrophes.

Apostrophes everywhere.

Not mine.

>>10294
Saw that earlier on /a/, glorious

Lol the GL is only a paradise because the New World is hellish, and to think the Grand Line seemed crazy when we were first introduced to it. Loving where this is going.

>>10284
He met her as a result of the stage show. Many fans speculate he's slowly adapted the character to be more like her, but he's never actually said anything about it.

>>10294
Neat gimmick, but it doesn't exactly say much.

That's basically what this whole thread's been.. baseless theories.

>>10299
What? It's not a theory or a "gimmick", it's just pointing out an obscure call back.

>>10299
You don't actually know what the word 'gimmick' means, do you?
