One Piece: Revisited?

[Kei]

Exactly. Plus, I'd rather see Wapol's Toyshop, Meet Baroque, or Gedatsu's Travels on Earth than...oh...say...Rainbow Mist or Apis.

EDIT: Oops, forgot Ace's hunt for Blackbeard. That was a good coverstory also

There's one advantage to One Piece never killing anyone off. You can use them for cover stories.

I don't see any of them stretching out as long as would be needed for a full arc, though. It would be cool to see them, though, even as single episodes.

I'd like to see episodes of Ace's hunt too. A meeting is ineivitable and unless luffy or someone else gets to him first, it'd be pretty nice if Ace caught up to him...

See, thats the thing though. With proper filler writing, they could be made into 6 episode arcs. Just think of Meet Baroque (since thats the latest one), there is so much going on. Escaping from Little Garden, Bon Clay escaping from Jail, and most importantly: Fullbody and Jango. (I'd like to go on record by saying that Pirate Hypnotist "1, 2" Jango is in my top 5 favorite characters of One Piece). With as much material they have, there is really no excuse for the mediocre filler we've seen so far. Heck, the only filler I've enjoyed is G8 and the extra games in Davy Back.

Some would be more suited to it than others, like the Meet Baroque one. Others, I don't see going beyond an episode or two, like Wapol or Gedatsu. It would be an interesting thing to do for filler, I agree. We'll just have to see if they ever act on it.

Unrelated Note: I've figured out the secret of Admiral Kizeru! I know who he is. Hear me out...

I'd post pictures, but, I aparantly don't have enough posts on the site to be allowed to yet. So, until I get enough and I can edit them in, you have to settle for text and I have to hope you know who I'm talking about.


Kizeru, the Yellow Monkey. His hair goes out to the sides at around shoulder level. Implied in the color of his name is that he dresses or wears some of his color. Aokiji's shirt is blue, so Kizeru probably has some yellow. This reminds me of someone...

Kabapu from Excel Saga. Same haircut. In the silouette, you wouldn't be able to see his mustache, and he wears yellow! He is Kizeru!

Chapter 398 Spoiler, highlight to read:

Two important things learned this chapter. One: One of Usopps new attacks. Amazing! Two: CROCODILE IS ALIVE. As is Das Bones, and Mr 4. I'm kind of dissapointed to see that Das Bones is still alive. I always thought that was the main reason Zoro had his bounty anyway, and that the attack at Whiskey Peak was secondary. Oh well. Just glanced at the chapter, didn't read the entire thing. Either way, it was nice to see Crocodile again, if only for two completely unrelated pages.

Spoiler, highlight to read:

Small question: Why does Croc have both hands? Shouldn't one be a hook, or a knife, or a spoon or something? Or did he just wear that over his normal hand? Honestly, I think he and Das should be dead by this point. Storywise, Arabasta was probably months ago. Crocodile's not someone you leave around, in my opinion. Das ought to have died in Arabasta, as Doublefinger ought to have. Mr. 4, I have fewer issues with being alive. He's not dangerous enough to warrant immediate evecution, nor someone who took enough hits to ensure a kill. On another note, since both Croc and Das rely on Devil fruit to fight, would that mean that now that they're deprived of them, Mr. 4 could smack them both around? That might be moderately amusing. XD Anyways, as far as the chapter goes, that's a good way to finish off Robin's story. I couldn't read it, but it seems to be that Spandyne goes on about justice and the World Government, then it focuses on Robin's string of people who've been destroyed because of her. Then, back in the present, Spandam probably goes on about justice again, whereupon Usopp uses a phoenix thingy and burns the flag and Robin comes out of her angst it seems. Good chapter, I think. I haven't seen what it says, of course, but showing just a bit of what Robin did since then was a good way of wrapping it up, especially when it focused on Croc. Looks like the fights're going to be starting soon. Think Robin'll actually participate in any?

[Demonshadow9]

He declared war , huh? I guess we will see if luffy succeeds where roger failed....Now if shonen jump would get off their ass and start releasing the volumes a bit faster ,theyre only on volume 9 >_<.

Robin's backstory is re-affirming my theory as to what the treasure, One Piece, actually is ^_^
OP is getting more an more epic with each arc and I'm predicting that the future stories will change the grand line and the 4 seas as we know it XD
And Sokeking FTW.

[Kei]

On the topic of Sogeking, if the anime keeps going at the pace they're at, Sogeking should make his debut next sunday. Although after that, there will be a two week One Piece delay, due to Winter Olympic coverage.

On a side note: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89..._06chopper.png

The 4 koma from OP:Blue are hillarious.

No wait, have I missed Ussops big fight then?

Spoiler, highlight to read:

238 is Luffy vs Franky.. so 237 was luffy vs Ussop?

[Kei]

OP Spoiler, highlight to read:

236 was.

Oho? What theory is that?

I would laugh so hard if they got there and it was just one piece of gold and Roger was just trying to piss the government off by creating so many pirates.

Personally, I think that after this arc, things are going to become even more epic. With the little war declaration, everyone on the crew will likely be wanted for over 30 million, with Luffy being highest, then Robin, then Zoro (like it is now). I'd like to see the pirate summit or whatever Ace was talking about happen soon after this.

Plus, with what Luffy's doing, I'm sure Shanks'll get word that Luffy's a pretty reknowned pirate at this point. Maybe he'll come to get his hat back. But then, that might be something for later on after Luffy wastes a few more Shichibukai.

Think Aokiji'll turn up later in this arc? Wouldn't that suck?

"Alright! We just got off Enies Lobby! We're all here and on the way to the next island"
"Arararara. Aren't you getting ahead of yourself?"
"Gah! When did you get on board?"

[Demonshadow9]

Though It kinda hard imagining the admirals NOT getting involved at this point.This isnt some little out post , its a major marine base. What I want to know is how will smoker react(its been awhile since we seen him)
