anyways, chapter 370 was released by null

That ramen guy sucks ass, i hope Sanji hurry-ups and finishes him off, it's one of the worst character introduced yet...
tensai
Thu, 06-23-2005, 11:06 PM
the ramen guy does suck, but because of him, sanji is finally using his hands during a fight
i hope this guy gets sliced into pieces quickly
i think that usopp will be able to persuade robin back to the strawhats and usopp will follow along too
Munsu
Thu, 06-23-2005, 11:17 PM
Usopp will indeed join back with the crew, but I doubt that Robin will be persuaded by Usopp, I think she in her mind already knows she wants to be with them, but it will take Luffy to get her back...

zoro looked hella weird in one of the sections
zoro said that t-bone was really strong, but he was defeated hella easily, was he referring to his will to uphold justice or something?
Deblas
Mon, 07-04-2005, 10:32 PM
I kind of felt bad for T-bone. Saying he had to do it for justice and for the people and whatnots. But really, no one cares about the marines so I let it slide.

No, it's simply showing how strong Zoro is... and how he isn't really aware of his current strength...
This chapter was pretty boring, the most boring of the latest ones, i hope the next chapter is as good as the others since im really diggin' this arc

Geez, a centaur form? How the hell did Franky do this to himself?
Munsu
Wed, 07-13-2005, 01:17 AM
With his hands most probably... I bet he used a screw driver... crazy guy that Franky
BTW, Sanji is fucked
tensai
Wed, 07-13-2005, 03:46 AM
haha
franky lying on the floor invincible, then he turns into a reverse centaur, hilarious
^ i agree, sanji will probably get his ass beat, but maybe luffy and co are gonna arrive soon, we'll see
DeluxSkillz
Wed, 07-13-2005, 06:20 AM
it would be great if the entire straw hat crew come together and start fighting all the cp9 not individual fights that would be the same old shounen type battles we need to see everyone in action let's see some team work
Munsu
Wed, 07-13-2005, 06:25 AM
Indeed, I would love to see that happen... Sadly, I doubt it will happen on a train, too small... I hope that happens when they reach the whatever Gates they are heading to...
And damnit... we need more Sogeking
DeluxSkillz
Wed, 07-13-2005, 07:17 AM
lol damn right i never once doubtes that usopp would come back and he most definately will, little sceptical about robin though i hope she comes back but she might not, i just hope franky doesn't join like many people think is gonna happen i totally don't like the idea of a cyborg
Munsu
Wed, 07-13-2005, 07:30 AM
I really don't like Franky that much either, but I think it will be for the best if he indeed joined... He'll be the source of many comical moments...
If Robin doesn't return, then I'll stop watching One Piece for good... i'll go to Japan and kill Oda myself
DeluxSkillz
Wed, 07-13-2005, 07:48 AM
i hope the next arc will be just as good as this one, i wonder what could be coming up next so many things are yet to be unveiled, we still have Buggy and Alvida cruising around, Blackbeard, Whitebeard, Shanks so many characters and things left unfinished i'd personaly like to see more of blackbeard and whitebeard and about why the people with D in their names are so special, taking Robin away would be a big blow but wouldn't stop me from watching, Franky could be of great comical use but he's just so different from the rest of the straw hats
Munsu
Wed, 07-13-2005, 08:49 AM
I really hope the next arc is as good also, so far this has been my favorite arc of the manga, by far...
I hope the next arc Luffy meets up with some of the people we've met already... there are so many of them and some of the plot holes need to be filled... at least some of them for now...
I think it will take 2 or more arcs until the crew find itself a musician... I hope they never find one, because he'll surely suck (I think this is why Oda hasn't introduced one yet, he doesn't know how to make a cool musician lol)
DeluxSkillz
Wed, 07-13-2005, 08:59 AM
lol yeah a musician would be a really bad choice for another crew member, i can't wait for them to get a new ship, i'm guessing they might use the thing luffy always sits on but a bigger version just to please usopp and to show that they won't forget Going Merry, the team is pretty solid right now i can't really think of any kind of crew member they would still need they got Sanji to feed them, chopper to heal them, nami to navigate them, usopp to fire the cannons and robin is an archeologist
lol they need someone like coby maybe his twin brother to swab the decks i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

Didn't they say if they reached the gates they're fucked. The whole point of them going on a sea train that doesn't stop and not waiting a day till the waves of aqua laguna to settle is to get Robin without reaching the gates. It's the center of the world government afterall.
I'm really interested in how Usopp upgraded the clima tact and seeing it in action. Bet it has an impact dial.
On a side note:
I don't have a problem that Franky might join and be their new shipwright. I think he has all the qualities too. He can fight, build ships, had a sad past, and he was raised by the guy who built Gold Rogers ship. That last one might be put as kind of symbolic and his dream at the same time. He acknowledges Luffy that he will become the next King of Pirates, so he goes along with him to continue the legacy of his foster....merman. But I wish he had some pants.
But then again I've been thinking lately and thought that maybe Paulie will probably go with them. Hey, he can fight, and build ships. And was he a sad orphan that wa raised by Iceburg?..don't remember. Anyway, I like Paulie better cause of comedic purposes. Don't get me wrong, franky too. That refrigerator is just asking to have some meat put in it. But I think Paulie is better since he hates to see girls who reveal some skin. And lets face it. Nami 99% of the time wores a short skirt.
kAi
Wed, 07-13-2005, 10:51 AM
franky is cool man!
he better join the crew!
I forgot to add, or I'll goto Japan and kill Oda myself.

pretty cool chapter
that guy is so f#cked up, killing one of the cp members
Franky's centuar thing is so funny, how he caught him off guard
and ussop's cowardly yet hilarious ways
Munsu
Thu, 07-21-2005, 02:09 AM
I thought that the CP9 guy was pretty cool... he took Sanji's kick like nothing, and kept explaining the situation while he was being kicked...
Sogeking kicks ass as usual
DeluxSkillz
Thu, 07-21-2005, 03:02 AM
oh yeah sogeking kicks major ass the last page had me in stitches can't wait for the next chapter
kAi
Sat, 07-23-2005, 11:39 AM
These CP9 guys are total badass, they've got no chance against them in a fight.
They need something else, but Luffy and co, should not be too far behind, but stll. The strength of these guys is crazy.
kAi
Tue, 08-02-2005, 09:07 PM
Finally Enies Lobby is infront of them, it's good that te CP9 weren't really trying to take out Sanji and co.
Oh by the way, 374 is out by #null @ irc.irchighway.net
tensai
Tue, 08-02-2005, 10:14 PM
i wonder if theyre gonna go back into more flashbacks about robins past and what happened to her, i kinda want to know
i thought it was cool that the CP9 guys were loyal to there promise to not kill the straw hat crew
that frog will cause some problems for the train that luffy is on
TwisT
Wed, 08-03-2005, 05:50 PM
and it seems that the CP9 guys have Devil Fruit powers ontop of there fightingstyle.. that's crazy.. Maybe those thorn whips are also from a DF-power.. If so, i wonder what "big square nose" powers are..
Deblas
Thu, 08-04-2005, 09:30 PM
Man, Robin really pisses me off in this arc. It almost made me forget about bitchy Ussop and his Merry dilemma breakdown. They had her out of harms way and out of the blue she clutches sokeking only to return to the damn CP9 guys. Fuck is that about. You were free!!! Believe in Luffy like everyone else dammit!!! She should've known a long time ago that there's no way in hell that they are not going to go after her. Just accept the damn help.
tensai
Fri, 08-05-2005, 02:52 AM
i think when ussop said that she needed permission from the captain of the ship to leave, she really did want to return to being with the luffy crew
she went back to the CP9 guys because she promised to go with them, in return they will not hurt the straw hat pirates
Robin still probably has doubts about the power of Luffy and co., she probably thinks they dont stand a chance against the government, still she is thinking about the safety of the pirates
Deblas
Fri, 08-05-2005, 10:28 AM
You know. That door guy said that there was a buster call in her island where she was the only survivor. Well she has a 79 million bounty because she sunk some marine ships. Think it was the buster call that she sunk?

damn, there are more CP9 members, sh*t
kAi
Mon, 08-08-2005, 10:34 PM
yeah, and they're all weirded out people, worse than Franky's followers.
Well, it's going to be Luffy and co at Enies Lobby next chapter, they're going to need to be smart about this, or they just have to go on a rescue mission, I really hope they can't beat these CP9 guys after no training, basically just fighting them once, and that's it. These guys should be around for a while and be the main guys that they have to catch up to in terms of strength. Hopefully this turns out to be a rescue mission only; yeah, there should be fighting, but not like the fights that they had back before.
tensai
Tue, 08-09-2005, 03:57 AM
yeah, i agree with you
i think that they should save robin and franky, then franky joins the crew
the scenario will somewhat be like what Smoker was doing
but they later surpass the CP9 guys, but i do hope they beat up a few of them, maybe not the main four though
Deblas
Thu, 08-18-2005, 09:24 PM
Ch 376 has been released by Null. For irc users go here (http://null.myshelter.net/)
EDIT: Well, read the chapter. Man, Luffy and Chopper are so gullible.i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif
Luffy's really getting famous with that bounty of his.
And he said he has some new moves. Can't wait for the next chapter and see what they are. Things are getting very interesting now.
kAi
Thu, 08-18-2005, 10:43 PM
I like how he gets a new move on the fly, please let this be a more of a rescue mission, go in get robin, fight for abit, but get the hell outta there, get a ship and let these guys chase them around later down the track, after other easy enemies.
Munsu
Fri, 08-19-2005, 01:13 PM
Yeah, lol... awesome, he just makes up a new move when he feels like it...
I loved this chapter, pretty funny in the beginning, and then Luffy storming through Enies Lobby was also awesome... great stuff
TwisT
Sat, 08-20-2005, 09:17 AM
lol yeah.. That Hero stuff was funny.. And how Luffy and Chopper are so gullible.. Ok Luffy is stuppid and Chopper is gullible.. But when you're Luffy, you don't need to be smart..
Also how Luffy was just gone and had stormed the gate himself.. Awsome..
But i don't agree with just an rescue mission.. i want him to beat them.. At least that "Parrot"-dude.. Just so you can see that he overcomes that fighting style they use..Also the leader need's to get his ass kicked.. GO LUFFY!!!
Death BOO Z
Sat, 08-20-2005, 09:35 AM
I'll be putting my money on a string shot, either Luffy using his body to launch Robin onto the train or just taking some of usop's bombs and using them as a ranged weapon, seeing as he fought against usop earlier and has a better impression of the pepper balls he uses...
though, it might end up being somethig really stupid, like sending his dirty foot into the enemy's nose and stinking him up.
as for the c9, i think that seeing one of them getting beat up by a luffy zoro sanji franky gang up would be cool, keep their status as super strong enemies, but stll have one of them getting his ass kicked.
edit: C9 section, and changed 'robing' to Robin.
Deblas
Sat, 08-20-2005, 11:54 AM
It's pretty safe to say that they are going to fight CP9. And its "pigeon"-guy TwisT, not "parrot"-guy. We all know that when Luffy's nakama is hurt or are made to do something against their will, Luffy pummels them until they're practically or actually dead.
Also, Luffy's and Lucci's fight is going to be freaggin awesome. After this, every Strawhat might actually get a bounty while the ones who already have a bounty will be raised.
Munsu
Sat, 08-20-2005, 12:58 PM
I for one think they'll go against the other 3 or 4 agents introduced one or two chapters ago... forgot their names, but one of them couldn't keep his mouth shut...
You know what really pisses me off? When are they going to give Usopp a freaking real weapon... I mean give him a freaking gun already...
Deblas

I guess its because of the variety of weaponry you can do with a slingshot (though those attacks are extremely wimpy without some tactic behind it) ex. flame star, throwing spikes, tabasco boshi. A gun is just a metal ball. He is also able to fire multiple shots in seconds unlike a gun and IMO more fun for the viewer to watch. Though I have to say a gun is certainly a much simpler and easier way to kill someone rather than firing 10 flame stars to just knick the guy. Maybe in the future he invents a gun that is able to shoot his special attacks.
Death BOO Z
Sat, 08-20-2005, 03:34 PM
he might end up getting his father's rifle, if they ever meet...
but what about Nami? shouldn't she get a real weapon someday? at least something powerful enough to take out a level D henchman?
Deblas
Sat, 08-20-2005, 04:07 PM
Well that perfect clima tact sure looks promising. I bet Ussop put a impact dial in there.

Mon, 08-29-2005, 11:56 AM
this chapter was pretty cool
those two big guys kinda remind me of the giants from that one island, could they be related in some way?
cant wait to see how this arc is gonna be like
Deblas
Tue, 08-30-2005, 05:15 PM
I still kinda getting used to this new style of Oda's. The anatomy of the characters have changed somewhat from the beginning where they looked more childish and cartoonish. Though out of all the Strawhats, I see the biggest change in Nami.

I think this chapter went better than I expected, especially when they traded Zoro's cutting through the gate, with the frog taking down the fence and catapulting the rocket over everything...
It seems that we'll finally get some great action in the next chapter, can't wait...
Stoopider
Mon, 09-19-2005, 02:05 AM
Yeah.. the way they stepped out just in time. Looks like there's going to be many a butt kicking.

I liked how the rocket went over the gate, nice touch.
Damn, imagine if all the people attacking become Straw Hats?
tensai
Mon, 09-19-2005, 02:12 PM
i wonder how much the bounty will increase for the straw hats after this battle
if the marines actually believe that all of them are straw hats, they will pose a much bigger threat to the government
and maybe a huge bounty will be put on them that overestimates their power, maybe
kAi
Wed, 09-21-2005, 11:04 AM
hah, yeah that would be so cool, what's the bounty now? I can't remember.
Deblas
Wed, 09-21-2005, 03:03 PM
Only strawhats that have bounties are:
Luffy: 100,000,000
Zoro: 60,000,000
Nico Robin: 79,000,000
I'm also hoping that they give the other strawhats bounties after this as well as increasing the bounties of the ones who has them already.

Thanks kAi, That was a great chapter. We see the upgraded Clima Tact in action and the Sogeking is unmasked(for 5 sec.).
Deblas
Tue, 09-27-2005, 09:13 PM
That perfect Clima Tact really packs a punch. Usopp really outdid himself with it.
Really funny when the lightning just went out of control almost hitting Nami rewarding Usopp with a big bonk in the head. Reminds me of Alabasta where Nami also tried out her new weapon without really knowing how it worked or how powerful it was.
Phoenix20578

Pretty good chapter action wise and comedy wise... most of the things that went on were very random and hard to make sense of what was going on on a quick read...
Though it seems it sets up the next chapter very good, looks like some individuals are about to challenge Zoro and Sanji

Luffy totally annihilated that guy! Took him down with ease, I remember saying I hope this doesn't turn out to be a verse match between Luffy and co V CP9, coz CP9 should absolutely destroy them, and the excuse, we've gotten stronger on every island is stupid, it's hasn't even been a week in the time they've travelled, no other fights between people, and he took this guy down like that.

The only one Luffy couldn't face straight up was Lucchi... so until then, I won't mind if Luffy takes a couple down with ease on a one on one fight

Uhh KAi. That's the whole point of One Piece. It's not training, training, training to become stronger and beat the bad guy like Dragon Ball. Its about determination, the will to never give up, and the power of friendship that gives them inner strength. It sounds corny but that's how it is! How many times have you seen (excluding Zoro) the strawhats train to become stronger? Never!! And they face stronger foes each and every time and they still manage to kick their asses. Luffy was beaten two times by Crocodile, but he wanted to help his new nakama Vivi so much that it gave him the power to suceed. Same thing happened with Usopp and Kuro, Sanji and Krieg, Nami and Arlong, Chopper and Wapol, Cricket and Enel, his whole crew and Foxy . And now is Robin and CP9. Have you actually being watching One Piece?
After what happened to Robin, the strawhats aren't just going to get Robin and escape. Thats not how they do things when it comes to nakama. Besides, Luffy also wants to take down Lucci for his betrayal to Paulie. And he hasn't knocked out Blueno yet. The chapter ended with Luffy starting to thrash him. Back at the train Sanji wasn't able to hurt Blueno but he did feel the huge force in his kick. Another one and it would have definetely hurt him but Kaku stepped in. If Sanji was able to do that imagine LUFFY!!
kAi
Fri, 10-14-2005, 03:12 PM
Well, I find this to be annoying as hell, Luffy can be DEMOLISHED in an INSTANT, but he can travel to the next island and be able to take down a guy that he didn't hurt by kicking him, and did the 1000 punch thing and didn't even lay a hand on him. Luffy's kick had nothing on him last time, although, yes, you get stronger with every fight, and I know this fight isn't over yet, but he took him down instantly, before these punches couldn't even touch him. This pissed me off, although he could just be doing the old get taken down, then start to kick Luffy's ass around, then lose all of a sudden. Then he'll go straight on into the next fight and still beat the other guys, I just don't like it.
Training is in lots of anime/manga, there are times where fighting isn't enough, will power, and such things are not good enough, check out Bleach, Naruto, Hunter X Hunter, similar style Shounen shows. Same type of style shows as One Piece.
Where was his determination, the will to never give up, and the inner strength from the power of friends when he first fought them? now it can be said, but they need to lose sometime, but still he hasn't improved that much, he just received a beating and he can suddenly win now? Yes, the reason now is stronger than before, now that he knows the truth of why she is going but, it still just urks me. Also, by the time he gets to Lucchi if he can beat him down, with no help or with out any smarts in the fighting, and too easily, I wont like the scenario. Lucchi is alot stronger and can be used again. Although this is good for his character in building up his fighting, strength and everything else, I think they overpowered the CP9 guys a bit to much, or they made Luffy's strength improve to high.
All I hope now is that this fight actually has some good fighting and isn't one sided.
Deblas
Fri, 10-14-2005, 07:38 PM
The CP9's power level are:
1. Rob lucchi - 4000
2. Kaku - 2200
3. Jabura - 2180
4. Blueno - 820
5. Kumadori - 810
6. Fukuro - 800
7. Carifa - 630
See, Blueno is the 4th strongest. Yeah sure, Luffy couldn't beat him at first but now there's a lot in stake in this battle, and he knows that and it motivates him and makes him even stronger. It's again, kind of corny but thats the main theme in One Piece. Another thing was that the first time, he hit Blueno with his Pistol attack, this time around he got him with his Rifle attack which is very powerful so he broke his armor and took that opportunity to pummel him. Also Luffy is the strongest among the strawhats so now compared to Luffy he's really nothing. This is more of like a pre-battle that doesn't mean anything. And if Luffy has a hard time with Blueno then he would obviously be no match for Lucchi which is his main opponent so being able to thrash Blueno like that makes alot of sense. Though I doubt he will go against the other ones single-handedly. Kaku will most likely be Zoro's opponent and Jabura will be Sanji's opponent and so on. Now there is no doubt in my mind that those later fights won't be one sided. They never are actually. Especially Luffy and Lucchis fight!!

Wed, 10-19-2005, 02:52 AM
I wonder who the matchup's are going to be.
Luffy being the captain would definitely take on Rob Lucchi. Thats like a no brainer.
Zoro would take on Jabura (Jabura's a swordsman as well, or was that Kumadori (?)).
Kaku (?) - Franky? or Sanji?
Fukuro the big mouth, I think he's the brainiac of the team. Would definitely be a matchup against Chopper.
And Nami would be vs Carifa.
Blueno would get his noseshit kicked out of him soon, so he probably wouldn't be part in the battle. I wonder who else. Maybe Sogeking would take on one, and I wonder who would Robin as well.

DeluxSkillz
Wed, 10-19-2005, 02:10 PM
i don't think that pic will be correct on the match ups because if luffy is supposed to fight the guy with the pigeon on his arm and if you look at the pic luffy would be fighting against kaku and sanji against the guy with the pigeon which makes no sense because sanji will get his ass whooped luffy should be fighting him, although it would make for an interesting twist, would definately get sanji his wanted poster if he ends up fighting and beating the guy with the pigeon, sorry forgot his name lol
Deblas
Wed, 10-19-2005, 02:18 PM
*sigh* No. So what if they are drawn an inch far from each other. From right to left it's:
Franky Vs. that weird sumo type guy
Nami Vs. Califa
Sanji Vs. Guy between Califa and Lucchi(forgot the name)
Luffy Vs. Lucchi
Zoro Vs. Kaku
Usopp Vs. Zipper guy
And Robin and Blueno who are not going to fight. Blueno surely won't. Maybe Robin will Clutch Spandam for revenge.
I don't have a clue with who's going to fight Chopper.

Not much progress on what is going on, but we learned alot on the situation of CP9 and the World Gorvernment... they are getting their ass kicked, and I'm glad Spandam finally recongnized it
tensai
Wed, 10-26-2005, 12:30 PM
i wonder when spandam will use the buster call
after seeing the destruction caused on enies lobby, i bet he is tempted to use it
but most likely he will send the rest of CP9 into action first, mainly because it would be embarrassing for him to let the rest of the world know that most of the soldiers were getting beat by the straw hats
Munsu
Wed, 10-26-2005, 12:32 PM
I hope he doesn't use Buster Call... The usage of Buster Call suggests to me that One Piece would be nearing its final arcs, and I don't want to think that...
I think Luffy and the Straw Hats have ways to go before they are that potent of a power to warrant the usage of a Buster Call...
Deblas
Wed, 10-26-2005, 07:58 PM
Spandam most likely will initiate the buster call. But I doubt the Mugiwara crew will fight them or at least thats what I hope. They might be tearing up Enies Lobby but I don't think they're ready to fight that much power yet.

Hehe, I loved when Chopper said to Zoro "Zoro, I'll try to make a medicine for it next time" "A good medicine for a hopeless idiot" and Boy, Sanji can sure be pathetic sometimes. :/
I've been hearing the term Vulcanization for Luffy's second gear.
Vulcanization : process of treating rubber or rubberlike materials with sulphur at great heat to improve elasticity and strength or to harden them.
Sounds like it no? A better and more scientific explanation for his new ability than just Super Saiyan Luffy.
Munsu
Fri, 11-04-2005, 03:32 AM
That sounds like it might be it...
At first I was thinking he was using his rubber ability to restructure his muscles and shit.
kAi
Fri, 11-04-2005, 10:36 AM
Yeah, I think you've hit it Deblas, I was also trying to figure out something that could strengthen rubber or something of the sort, that seems like it's the case.
and now that Luffy has used it, my previous statements about me not liking it have gone away, as he's used this verse Blueno, and I think he'll destroy him with it.
This has certainly made me happy, it's good to know Oda is a GREAT mangaka!
I thought it was lost due to the beating they got back at water seven.

sounds cool if there is a logical explenation for luffy's power up, that would make him suddenly powering up a lot cooler then the cliche "oh i just pulled a new power out my ass and can now whoop all the enemies who whooped me before" damn one piece is so exciting right now
Munsu
Fri, 11-04-2005, 03:36 PM
Yeah, this brings endless possibilities... especially if he can warm up his body to a certain degree, which will translate to him being able to unfreeze himself by his own powers when Aoki freezes him...

on page 12, when he annouces that he will do something again because blueno took the "jet bazooka" attack,
luffy sticks his thunb into his mouth like he's trying to trigger something for the next gear
im thinking for each gear, there is a trigger to start it
like for his "gear second," he pushes down on his legs
itd be interesting to see how many gears he has, and how he will deal with himself not being use to the "gears" yet

I'm loving every bit of this chapter. The arc just keeps getting better and better. Luffy's new Gomu jet attacks are insane. And we have only seen only a little of his power. But Blueno was pretty stupid to try and take on one of Luffy's best attacks. I can't wait for Luffy's battle with Lucchi so he can show every bit of power he gained with his gear second. This arc is just too awesome.

Deblas
Tue, 11-22-2005, 12:28 AM
The end freakin rocked. Sanji's part of him saying he was #1 was hilarious. And the last spread just awesome. I agree. The first pages sucked.
Also, look at usopp's staff. That's one big slingshot he has there. Wonder if it's a permanent change of weapon. Though it seems everyone has an improvement in their weapons/fighting skills. We haven't seen Zoro's, Sanji's or Chopper's yet. But I bet they do.
And Luffy has a lot of awesome lines in this arc. First:
Marines: Said something about there being thousands of marines in Enies Lobby.
Luffy: And I'm alone. Get out of my way!!
Then...
Luffy: you can say die you want to die!! It doesn't matter!!!....But things like that&.you should say it when youre with us!!!...Now leave it all to us.

Well, this is the manga... not anime...
Naruto handles flashbacks fairly well in the manga...

Up till now, we havent had many good flashbacks that dealt with our main characters, so at least the Robin one should be good...

or at least has interest in them...
this chapter is pretty interesting, to me at least
spandain, i guess was spandams brother or father or at least has some relation to spandam
wow, robin's mother looks exactly like robin. It sucks that she got rejected that quickly because she wanted to be a part of them
i guess there might be a different reason for why the island ohara was destroyed, the giant being there or the research that the archaeologists were conducting

The blank page in history...... Makes sense for an archiologist.
I'm really liking Robin's backstory. It shows a lot about Robin personality and why she acts all secluded in the present.

Zoro and Sanji definately need to go one gear up just like Luffy to defeat CP9.
Deblas
Wed, 12-14-2005, 06:58 PM
I think they will get some type of upgrade. Everyone seems to be upgrading their fighting skills.
Luffy- Gear second
Nami- Perfect Clima Tact
Usopp- Sogeking and some type of staff/slingshot
I wonder if Choppers upgrade is a rumble ball that gives him even more forms. That'll be pretty sweet.
Phoenix20578
Wed, 12-14-2005, 08:27 PM
For Chopper, thad be great.
For Sanji, id be cool if he learned the leg techniques CP9 uses (the names escape me for the moment).
Zoro, I don't think he can upgrade anything.

heck, i'll take any OP flashback over Naruto's repetting ones anytime...
sure, Naruto is emotional with all the 'everybody hates me' crap, but when it comes down to story quality, one piece takes the win, and that's why the flashbacks are so long.
so, as far as i'm concerned, the coming flashback is about to be great, the CP9 fight can wait a few more months, i don't think that luffy can beat luchy (or kaku and the other strong guy) yet, even if he can go up to 3rd gear... and not to forget that they still can go demon fruit and increase thier power levels ("my soru level is over one million, and I can go super saiyan"). I'm betting that we might see a cameo of some bigshot, i hope that ace will come and make short works off someone.

luffy's grandfather being a giant and luffy being a normal human being (height wise) is something that is really hard to connect

Ohh boy I can't. O_o Luffy's past is one of the biggest plot holes in the whole series. Especially now that we know that a giant carries the D. name. It does seem really far-fetched that Sauro is Luffy's grandfather but remembering what Aokiji said to them and him actually being there, one can only wonder.

Man I love this. This has gone beyond the "I'm going to be the Pirate King and find treasure" story. The ending will surely not be about Luffy finding One Piece and the end. Maybe it will be about the fall of the WG with Luffy taking power?!
Awesome. So the WG prohibited the reading of the poneglyphs that the old kingdom left fearing that the ancient civilization's ideals will surface again and result in their downfall. So it looks like the WG really are the bad guys.
I wonder if that ancient civilization has something to do with the D's?

I really hope that we see more group fights in the present arc instead of one on one fights, something like the Chopper and Usopp fight we saw in Alabasta.

I wasnt really saying that I was suprised, I was saying how Luffy reacted when Aokiji mentioned Luffy's grandfather
It was as if Luffy was trying to avoid the subject, maybe because Luffy didnt want people to know that his grandfather was a vice admiral
And also, it is not 100% that saulo is Luffy's grandfather yet, but it is highly likely

Chapter 396, 397, and 398 have been scanlated. Stopzamo has only up to 396 though. Got to the MSN groups to read 397 and 398.
Chapter 398 has become one of my favorite chapters of all time. The flashback is over and we're back at Enies Lobby. We finally get to see Usopp's new slingshot "Kabuto" in action and Luffy was such a badass. He just waged war against the WG! Next chapter will be the moment that we've been waiting for all this time. Strawhat pirates Vs. CP9!!!

actually, how strong is a buster call?
sure, we know it calls 5 warships, but besides having lots of cannons, what are they worth? seriously, luffy stood against every one of buggys super cannon balls and took them without a second thought, wouldn't that mean he could take on a buster call?
what i mean is, actually how horrible is it against a team of fighting indvidiuals? even nami with her weather rod could blow the fleet apart...
or do we have anything more solid on the buster call?

It's not just five warships. The buster call is a military operation that calls for ten battleships led by five vice admirals. The whole country of Ohara was destroyed by it so obviously it's a force to be reckoned with. Luffy and crew most likely can take the buster call on considering what they have been through already at Enies Lobby.
Death BOO Z
Fri, 02-10-2006, 04:34 PM
do we know any vice admirals? i mean besides saulo, who's obviously an expetion (being a giant and all)... what level is aoikoji?
about burnning ohara down, it's not that much of a problem to burn down a tree, it merely takes one idiot with a match. and for luffy and his crew taking them out, i was trying to imply that many weaker pirate groups (the ones who attacked sanji's resturant, as an example) could fight them evenly, or a least to a level where they don't pee their pants when hearing about it.
Deblas
Fri, 02-10-2006, 04:58 PM
They haven't said anything about the present vice admirals in the WG as far as I'm concerned. Aokiji and Kuzan (the hooded guy) were vice admirals at the time of the destruction of Ohara, but they moved up to Admiral.
If the new vice admirals are guys like Saulo, Aokiji and Kuzan, which they most likely are. Then I doubt that the weaker pirate crews that Luffy has faced stand a chance.
And Ohara wasn't just the tree. It's not like they just had to shoot the tree down and their done. They wiped Ohara off the map.
Mr.X
Fri, 02-10-2006, 05:11 PM
No Kuzan is Aokiji's actual name. I think Aokiji just translates into Blue Pheasent.
Im pretty sure they only showed 3 admirals in the flashback. Songoku, Kuzan, and the hooded guy (which should be the Red Dog).
2 more admirals were there, just not in the main picture.
Now that I think about it, were those 5 just ranked admiral? They got their promotion after Ohara right?
Deblas
Fri, 02-10-2006, 05:35 PM
Thanks for pointing that out, my bad. Akainu is the hooded one. They never revealed his name in the flashback did they? Kizaru(yellow monkey) could have been a vice admiral too.
Aokiji and Akainu could have been made Admiral after the incident. But all of the five vice admirals who participated in the Buster call couldn't have since there are currently only four of them. The ones that are called the "three great powers" which are Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru. And Chief Admiral Sengoku ( the Buddha) who was already Chief Admiral at the time. I'm pretty sure he was the guy with the Afro in Robin's flashback.
I found some present Vice-admirals:
Vice-Admiral Comil, Vice-Admiral (Chuujou)
Vice-Admiral Tsuru(the old woman in the meeting where we see Bartholomew Kuma and Donquixote Doflamingo for the first time)
