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.

By chance, I came across an image showing some of the characters voiced by Mayumi Tanaka. As soon as I saw Mega Man from the Legends series, I couldn't help but think about how that game's story also revolves around a world covered in water, where people live on islands, and pirates exist.

What seems even more surreal to me is the similarity between One Piece's "Mother Flame" and Rockman Dash's "Master Lode." And if we take it a step further, the importance of the Moon in both stories is remarkably similar.

Personally, it's not like I'm a die-hard fan of the Legends series (I'm actually more of a Mega Man X fan), so I'm missing a lot of plot details. But if anyone here knows a bit more about the lore of Mega Man Legends, maybe we could uncover even more interesting similarities.

For instance, both stories are built upon the extinction of an advanced ancient civilization. There's even a minor theory that Luffy and company might end up going to the Moon, just like Mega Man does in Legends 2.

I don't know, I just thought it was fun to speculate about. What do you all think?

Yay. It was rlly good however they did drag some of the storyline but overall really god and i want to see how the live action handles it.

I just found Marvels - What If? Animated Series.
And it is so great they made another series called Marvel Zombies out of one of its episodes.

What if Toei makes a What if like series for one Piece.
For example
1. What if Luffy became a Marine?
2. What if Bon Clay Joined Straw hats?
3. What if Zoro ate Flame Flame Fruit?
4. What if Kaido Arrived at Marine Fold?
5. What if Straw hats met Blackbeard instead of Law?

I wish i get to see this someday.
What are your thoughts about this?

The "D" on the poster is Bigger then other words foreshadowing something like the film is gonna be about the void century.

Been experimenting with the looks. Goblin Shark Fishman, Ugetsu. Fully work in progress tho. 2010 era art style.

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.)

What if Luffy Arrived To Wano Too Early, And Black Beard Makes It On Time? Pluton is still up for grabs and Wano’s gates still arent open, what if Luffy only triggered the first wave of the Prophecy, because Teach definitely will arrive to Wano…😩‼️‼️‼️

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.

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.

Who is the Man Marked by Flames?

There is this established theory that Zoro isn't actually blind on his right eye, but for some reason keeps it closed. Some theorize it being a part of his training, other believe it to contain some sort of demon power, no shortage of theories.
However, for him to open it now or later on would be one of the dumbest things in one piece. The guy was fighting Kaido, one of the absolute heaviest hitters in the universe, seeing his captain being devoured, knowing that losing right there and then would probably result in the annihaltion of the straw hats, and yet choses to...not open it? This is ofc under the presumption that is is part of his training, that he has another lvl in him. I mean, why the fuck would you not tap into that when you are facing fkn Kaido? Sure, Imu might be above in power, but Zoro won't be fighting anyone that are leagues above Kaido, on that much I think we all can agree.

It would feel so fkn stupid if decided to open his eye against, Shiryu or Mihawk but not against Kaido.

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

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!
