God dammit I've been schooled. I will concede that he obviously played well with a lot of people. I'm not sure what turned me off so much about him. Can we please just see the fights for this arc already? I haven't been this pumped for a crew vs crew fight since CP9. All of Dofla's crew mates are so god drat interesting.

Every fight against Law turns into a chapter of Death Note, where Law Yagami breaks all the rules to hilariously gently caress over his opponent in smug fashion.

Monet got her legs swapped on Punk Hazard so they're probably in a pit with a bunch of animal bodies.

How do those leg swaps work, anyway? When Kinemon was split, he could freely control his legs running around, even when they got "connected" to Luffy. They kept suplexing him against his will. But then the people with animal legs could control them while they were attached. If those are in fact Monet's legs and she's "dead" for the purposes of the story, would her legs even work anymore?

Could be that if he's connecting the "proper" body part where it's missing on the other person it serves as a replacement, while if you're just sticking stuff where it doesn't belong or keeping it completely separated it still acts like it's attached to the original owner.

The only way it makes sense to me (not that it needs to, really) is if Law can connect them to work like they are your body, not just legs you stuck on your pants.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before in this thread, but Law's power is the greatest argument yet for devil fruits being man-made. An "operating room" or "surgeon" isn't exactly a concept found in nature. Before there was at least a chance they were a natural part of the OP world, like maybe phoenixes really existed in that world and Marco's fruit was based on that. I wonder how all this ties into the Void Century and the extreme superstition surrounding devil fruits. Vegapunk might be the only person left who knows what DFs really are. Especially with the power seeming to transfer to the closest available fruit of that type when it's destroyed, it seems there might be some sort of extremely advanced technology involving an airborne virus or oh god where's the nanomachines guy he was right all along

Every Logia to date occurs naturally without life (you could get super technical with stuff like fire needing oxygen which was caused by life). Every Zoan is literally a form of life. Paramecias are things that can be man made, or not man made. Things like weight occur naturally, but other things do not. In most cases, I cannot think of many paramecia's that aren't based off something made by life.

On a completely unrelated note while trying to see if there was a relation to Paramecia and life.quote:he Paramythia executions, also known as the Paramythia massacre (19–29 September 1943) was a combined Nazi and Cham Albanian war crime perpetrated by members of the 1st Mountain Division and the Muslim Cham militia in the town of Paramythia and its surrounding region, during the Axis occupation of Greece. 201 Greek villagers were murdered and 19 municipalities in the region of Paramythia were destroyed. I wonder if the void century (where a large swath of countries were likely destroyed and rebuilt by the WG) has anything to do with devil fruits... anime was right fucked around with this message at 01:17 on Nov 27, 2013 |

Yeah it's very close to the word paramecium but then what do logia and zoan mean? Chances are he tried to go with gibberish for devil fruit types.

Zoan is based on Zoanthropy, which refers to humans transforming into animals. It's also called Therianthropy. Not sure about Logia but the wiki says this quote:The word "Logia" is a Greek word from New Testament scholarship that translates roughly as "sayings, utterances, oracles". It is surmised that given the kanji, this type of Devil Fruit is meant to represent an element of nature "speaking" with force; always with a destructive capacity.

JosephWongKS posted:That's pretty I wouldn't necessarily rule it out. Sometimes it's difficult to discern what the actual romanization of certain Japanese words are unless the author actual writes it out in English (I'm looking at you, Yhwach). That being said, given the "human" nature of many paramecia-type devil fruits it seems possible that during the Void Century the paramecia-type was created artificially, perhaps derived from the logia-type devil fruits. So we'll likely never know if it's paramecia or paramythia until we learn of the origin of devil fruits, but as it stands, neither translation really has any actual correlation to how those kinds of devil fruit powers behave. I like the paramythia idea because that lets us theorycraft.

The thing about those executions were: They were targeted at knowledgeable people, a few of them escaped, and the people who committed them were let go. A lot of those seeds make sense for the WG (defeat 19 kingdoms, the new ones form the WG). I'm not saying it's "an exciting and extremely likely theory" but more it's just an interesting coincidence.

So I've been waiting on the Omnibuses to catch up so I can purchase myself a full set of volumes. I just noticed they recently released a collection of 1 through 23. Anyone have any experience with this? It seems cool, but bad value? (~5$ per volume versus ~4$ per volume if you buy the 3-in-1 omnibuses).

The One Piece Omnibuses compact the volumes to a significant degree. If you want it taking up less shelf space overall(and keep in mind the series is around 70 volumes currently) the omnibuses are the way to go. The first four that I have are of good quality and shrink the volumes contained by a significant amount. Here's a comparison pic of 9 single volumes versus three omnibuses. It's a pretty significant size difference, nearly half the size!  If you want a snazzy box and don't have space issues, go with the boxed set. If you want easy to hold large collections that are cheaper and take up less space but might not be the most outwardly appealing, stick with the omnibuses.

I think the paper's just thinner. It's not transparent or anything though, so it's probably worth taking the hit if shelf space is a concern.

pandaK posted:What do they cut from the omnibuses to achieve that reduced size? It's slightly thinner paper and there's no bulk of the three volumes worth of covers + extra pages inside, which adds up when you multiply it by three. The first four at least, that I own, are high quality and have withstood multiple readings by a bunch of different people with very little wear, so durability doesn't seem to be an issue.
