Luffy with the Doodle Doodle fruit sounds like one of, if not the most horrifying and unsettling things in this manga’s 20+ year run.

Also hilarious so bring that poo poo on. :getin:

If I remember right one of the Baroque Works members had it (I believe it was a girl that used paint in some fashion).

In an SBS oda said Goldenweek's paint powers were just hypnotism and not a devil fruit.

No Ms. Golden Week's thing was just hypnotism.

The Art Art Fruit was eaten by Giolla, one of Doflamingo's crew. Easy to forget, but it was a fun little gag.

Kanjuro in particular not having his fruit revealed is odd considering he looks like he's pretty much dead.

It's also really odd because we have perfect chances to name drop certain fruits. Like Apoo's fruit was directly explained by Killer, but wasn't named. Kanjuro's fruit would have made perfect sense to name drop right after the reveal of him being the traitor. Nope. Marco's fruit hasn't been named in-universe yet either, but I don't know if Oda actually cares enough to name it in Wano or leave it to the Vivre Cards.

I'm not sure why this little detail bugs me as much as it does, but I always get a kick out of a previously unnamed Devil Fruit being revealed. It feels like we're unveiling part of the grand One Piece tapestry.

Speaking of reveals and weird timing, I think 956, the one right before the Ultimate chapter, where we go around the world and see the Shichibukai and the system gets dissolved would've been the perfect opportunity to reveal Mihawk's previous bounty. Now it's really hard for Oda to do that justice. But Oda's Oda so I'll see what he does.

lol that the characters were just like "all right here's just some bounties to gas you up". Wouldn't be surprised if Mihawk never had a bounty and was just recruited as strongest swordsman. Imo the title of strongest swordsman is more cool than any bounty Oda gave him

It would be interesting if someone got a non-monetary bounty. You know how Sanji's "Alive Only" poster caused a stir; imagine if a poster was just like "Elevation to World Nobility" as a reward.

His bounty is probably low as hell for the point of the manga we’re at since they’re a combination of threat/power level, but I would honestly be surprised if we don’t get a reveal for him after Wano and Oda was just waiting for his post “fought his way through a whole rear end army with the help of his Zoro-trained humandrills” bounty instead of showing the old and new ones.

No I mean, it was said that the island Thriller Bark was constructed from came from West Blue. West Blue is on the New World side of the planet. Which should be impossible unless it somehow got coated and went through Fishman Island at some point.

Paradise is a nickname for the first half of the grand line, and has definitely been used by several characters and not just Kolby.

I'm very glad Oda put Coby in the SWORD organization, that's a big boost for a character that needs more attention honestly.
