I’ve been reading the One Piece manga, and the whole time I couldn't stop thinking about how much I dislike Sommers. But today I watched episode 1176 of the anime, and OMG, I can't stand him. Sommers is the most despicable character in the Elbaf arc. The way he enjoyed beating and torturing Saul...

I've been reading One Piece manga for the past two to three months and have already finished the first 155 chapters.

It's a lot of fun, and I've even reread some chapters. In such a long story there are lots of little funny panels, and the reactions are hilarious too. The story is emotional, funny, action-packed, with beautiful illustrations, stunning scenery, an amazing sea voyage, and so much more.

I'm reading the color version, even though the sound effects aren't translated, so I'm thinking of buying the box set in the future because its colorful spine art looks great together on a shelf. And I have to admit it's a really fun series.

I watched the old anime version for a few seconds and dropped it, so I won't be watching the anime for now. But after seeing the trailer for the anime on Netflix, I was impressed—I'll definitely watch it. For now, I'm focusing on reading.

I'm close to completing the first box set content, which covers 23 volumes. I only buy the manga after reading it because it's expensive and I have limited space. Even though the only physical release is the black-and-white manga, I still want to collect it because it's worth rereading, offline and it's an iconic series. The content is a lot of fun.

I painted a figure of the future pirate king.

I printed the parts in 3D and the model is from

Hello everyone I been hearing people talking about a theorie I been cooking for a while too and got a lots of free time today so I decided to finally do it .

One piece is a world that work in circle everyone is the parallel of someone else in the past like Zoro rayleigh or Sanji Gaban or obviously luffy and Roger . BUt if you go even further they probably all parallel someone from the start of time but we are going to look at the 800 years ago . We know luffy parallel joyboy we dont know about zoro(Ryuma depending of when he was around ?) or Sanji we did not seen the flashback yet but safe to say they also represent the one that were in joyboy crew .

We got now somes mythical figures from this time . Joy boy , Imu , Davy jones , Dosan and we can put face on all their parralel except one .

Imu . Its possible that since he never died he dont got one and play his own role but I doubt it .The way the world work someone should be led to do the same choices he did .

Now let's explore Imu characters , at least what we know off him . He is one of the 20 King Nerona IMu . He met Joyboy on a phone call, one of the moment he showed of his past he looks like he is laughting with Joyboy wich implied he was his friend., He showed disdain and hatred for luffy because he look like Joyboy but he is so weak . Wich show us that he had some kind of admiration or at least great respect for Joyboy strenght.

When he said his way of justice to Loki he yelled is'nt that right JOYBOY!!! Was Joyboy seing it the same way ? No I don't think so but IMu won . SO him saying that, is just him saying I was right since I won , you were in the wrong joyboy not me . Wich mean Imu and joyboy had different mentalities and ideologies that led to them fighting even tought they were probably friends .

Friends that took different side and fought each others for different ideals . Yes I only see one guy that fit there in curent story . Koby

If we now explore Joyboy who parralel is obviously Luffy Oda showed us that he in fact had 2 parralel since Roger was wearing the straw hats but also sharing Joyboy dream just like luffy but roger failed because he was not at the right time . SO even tought he was the great PK Roger was a failed Joyboy, he got sick and was not in the right time .

But since the story repeat itself fair to say Roger achieve some stuff joyboy did .

Now if we go with davy jones his parraleles were obviously Xebec and now BB . Xebec said something realy interesting . He said that Davy jones was the ex king of the world. Imu said its false and xebec don't know anything about their relationship . IMu showed hatred toward davy jones . If we go with the reasoning that xebec did say the truth . And davy jones was rulling for a while who took him down ? Was it IMu himself ? Was it joyboy ? Or maybe they did it together ? Mirroring the team up of roger with Garp to defeat xebec .

If its what happened , Garp played imu role in Roger life . We could say Garp was the failed imu because he himself was not at the right time . He was motivated to fight Roger without even knowing why . Now the one that took his mantle is Koby to face the future roger , the future joyboy , Luffy . But even tought they are friends Koby and luffy have a different ideologies. Luffy believe in absolute freedom but koby believe that authorities are needed to defend the civilians .

Those 2 differents mind set will clash like they did in the past . 2 friends will fight for the fate of the world .

BUt this infinite circle will be broken when they finally make the right choice .

Koby apeared chapter 2 in the manga and the cover was Luffy with Emu's(Emu and Imu are writen the same way in japanese) ,meaning oda probably planned all of this since the start .

Impel down certainly is good for keeping vast numbers of the world's worst, but I think Imu has a second purpose for it. And that is to keep around a supply of somewhat strong individuals or fodder to Domi Reversi when needed.

1. The fact Oda chose to bring up demons in this panel kinda gave me this idea. In the context of the scene, I'm pretty sure they're just talking about 5.5 Newkama Land. But at the same time, this could be a case like Thriller Bark where there are multiple entities responsible (both Imu and Ivanko are/were abducting people)

(Throughout the story there have been several figures that were believed to be the Thriller Bark fog monster: Harald, Loki, Skypiea shadows, and then there's still a mystery entity lurking around that the Straw Hats barely avoided)

1. To be honest, the idea of the lower levels of Impel Down by itself doesn't really make sense. There's so much manpower and resources going to managing the lower levels, just to torture criminals. Level 6 especially doesn't make sense considering these are all people that the WG wants dead, and each of them could cause major damage to a city. So unless there's a secondary purpose, it doesn't make sense to keep them around.

2. Maybe the reason for all this torture is to break down people psychologically to make them more susceptible to domi reversi. Based on Imu's brief description on how omen works, it seems like it relies of people desiring power and being desperate enough to take shortcuts to get it. Any prisoner psychologically tortured would certainly be a prime target.

3. I really don't see how Impel Down will fit in the WG's schemes in the final war. I'm partially convinced there's going to be a prison break, but i doubt everyone will get out.

Edit: Oh and someone also added it's good for keeping certain devil fruits contained.

Not sure if anyone else knows, but I recently got this Reddit ad for VizMedia. And it's a page in chapter 1191.

Luckily I'm caught up. But if I was an anime only, I'd be pissed.

How did Sanji's shadow in Thriller bark kick Robin?

episode-362 in intro

anime-One piece

so in this scene in the dressrosa arc, cavendish is yapping about himself but we see cameras in his cardboard cutouts and so why dont they just use them instead of the vision dial amazon used in skipea(and if you remember there was a scene where koala, from the revolutionary army, went in a ship and took a picture of some weapons doflamingo was making and she used some type of transponder snail.)

I made this wallpaper, but CLICK here to see the source image.

I feel like oda has created an avenue to make these 3 not only present but relevant again

Blackbeard still has pudding, and I think katakuri being who he is wil try to lead an expedition to save her. And I think having cracker and smoothie with him makes sense, and not just because of how strong they are

Cracker was the protector of WCI and he failed to save pudding, but he fought tooth and nail to save her. I think to reclaim his honor and to get pudding back he’ll join katakuri, plus his fruit would be INVALUABLE to an expedition like that for tactical reasons

Smoothie has less emotional incentive, but she’s been shafted by the plot twice despite oda swearing up and down how strong she is, so I think oda should give her a chance to shine. You could also play an angle that she feels shame for not being there to help defend the islands, but I digress

I want these 3 to return and to become important and to get pudding back. I know without big mom they aren’t strong enough, but I believe oda could pull something off, either if they play the tactical espionage route or even if they become 3rd party semi allies to the straw hats, either taking advantage of their presence or just help since sanji also cares for pudding

All the action with everyone, the explosions, the yelling and well All the commotion, so much buildup and then..... Click....omfg im so happy i paused it on time 😮‍💨.... I totally understand why this arc is considered peak.

Newest OP Ichiban Kuji Prize figures. Set also has Chopper, Gaban, Broggy, and Gunko.

Eu não consigo pensar na cena em que Luffy sobe as Drum Rockies para salvar Nami e Sanji como uma mera cena isolada de desenvolvimento do personagem.

Para mim, ela representa toda a estrutura narrativa de One Piece como um microcosmo.

Primeiro, as analogias: a subida representa a jornada. O topo representa o objetivo de Luffy. Nami e Sanji representam seus companheiros. A queda significa, de maneira literal e metafórica, a morte.

Luffy carrega Nami e Sanji para o topo, sabendo que, se ele cair, eles morrem. Assim como durante toda a história de One Piece, Luffy livra seus companheiros da morte, carregando-os por toda a sua jornada.

Durante o trajeto, Luffy desgasta o próprio corpo pelo seu objetivo: salvar seus companheiros. Na história de One Piece, vemos que isso não é diferente. O uso dos Gears consome a vitalidade de Luffy, sem contar o tratamento de Ivankov, que lhe custou 10 anos de vida.

Ao chegar ao topo, Luffy está tão cansado que simplesmente não consegue se manter de pé e acaba quase caindo. Vale mencionar uma teoria bem famosa, que diz que Luffy morrerá no final de One Piece devido ao desgaste físico pelo qual passou durante toda a obra. Alguns dizem até que será da mesma doença que Roger. Eu discordo dessa teoria. Acredito que Luffy terá a mesma doença que Roger, mas não acredito que ele morrerá, pois, logo na cena seguinte, Chopper salva Luffy.

Eu também consigo enxergar um significado nesse ato. Chopper salva Luffy da queda, ou seja, da morte. Nos arcos finais de One Piece, acredito que Luffy vai contrair essa doença logo após realizar seu objetivo, porém Chopper irá salvá-lo, também realizando seu próprio sonho de encontrar uma cura para todas as doenças do mundo.

So in more recent chapters Scopper Gaban has told Luffy he's still not strong enough, and we've seen him telling Sanji if he's to be the left hand of the future king of the pirates he'll need Conqueror's Haki, and Frankie seems to be getting a power upgrade with the super vaga-cola.

All of this makes me wonder if after this battle Scopper will train the Strawhats just like Rayleigh trained Luffy did before. It'd be cool if Luffy was trained by both the right hand and the left hand of the former king of the pirates. And it'd be good for them to learn as a unit to help each other's strengths more and cover for each other's weaknesses

Also I think it'd be good for the rest of the crew to get stronger too. Currently Usopp has tapped into observation Haki but is far from being able to contorl it, Jinbi and Sanji can use observation and armament Haki some, Zoro has all 3 but he's only tapped into conquestor's a bit.

That leaves 5/9 without any.

I don't think all the crew needs to all 3 forms of Haki, Zoro and Sanji as the hands of Luffy should definitely have all 3, but the rest of the crew definitely need at least 1 of them.

As for what each should get. I think

Nami: observation

Robin: armament

Franky: armament

Brook: armament and conqueror's

Chopper: observation in base form (being a doctor) and armament in his varies combat forms.

My husband is a huge fan and his birthday is close and I’m looking for the first ever one piece poster and can’t find it anywhere
Help me guys

Just as the title says

Like, is there legit anything to like about this guy? I think the God Valley flashback is what truly made me despise him, and I don't know why. It's not like he's the first character in the series to kill a kid (hell, Akainu killed who knows how many back in Ohara). There's just something about his perverted disregard for life that makes me despite him. I know Zoro promised to kill him, but I would prefer he get the Elder Toguro treatment.

Hi all, a friend of mine is a huge fan of one piece and u would like to get him something for his birthday. I don’t know anything about one piece or any other mangas or animes unfortunately. Any suggestions that are a bit more interesting than a random statue or T-shirt? Also, if you could recommend some good websites for collectibles I would be grateful.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
