Liar posted:But I'm still hoping the fruit ends up in the mouth of one of Blackbeard's crew, just so we get Zoro cutting fire. It probably wont happen this way, but I would love it if ussop ended up with the fruit. Then, when the get to raftel, it sure as heck ends up in the 'mouth' of one of the blackbeard crew, after Usopp shoots it in blackbeards mouth himself. It would be a wonderful way to confirm the 'you cant eat two fruits at once' theory.

If Coby were to actually succeed at standing up to Akainu with the fire fire fruit after Marineford it would be an ultimate crowning moment for the series.

Well, it's not what I expected, but Oda's a good enough writer." Then Lucy happened. While I disagree with Luffy's reaction, I can't argue with the results!

I've actually been wondering about Coby and what role he even has to play anymore. Oda keeps setting up Smoker to be to Luffy what Garp was to Roger. Plus Coby doesn't seem like he's play out well working under Akainu and his brand of military justice, and there's no way a guy like Akainu would just let it pass that Coby confronted him two-years ago. I mean he was already ready to kill Coby. Also now that it's officially confirmed that fruits come back after their user dies do we want to take bets on what fruit Roger had and who has it now? I would vote against Luffy since people would make observations about that sort of thing, but I just feel like it's going to happen now.

I'm not sure what surprised me more; Luffy being interested or the fact he points out he can't eat it himself instantly. Some guy suggested Luffy is going to force Sanji to eat it and I can totally see this happen now. That or him being okay with Coby eating it. Or who knows what.

There seemed to be a good few folks sure of how he'd react over the last few weeks, so I'm interested to know. I'm a bit surprised, but not really disappointed, particularly with the Dragonball homage going on right now. Hopefully Franky recognizing the prize as bait means he's going to do something behind the scenes of the tournament to undermine Doflamingo's plan. I'm pulling for Coby to get the fire fruit. Also, I'm betting there's going to be one or more free-free-for-all qualifiers for the tournament proper. Weed out all the plebs. Also, I cannot get over how much I like the design of Orthodox Jew Franky. All the beards are great, but his is the best.

Plus Coby doesn't seem like he's play out well working under Akainu and his brand of military justice He'll fulfill his dream and become an admiral of course, clash with Luffy (and either lose or at best, draw with both sides withdrawing) and take over the Marines from Akainu. He's his replacement and the one who'll help reform from within. He still believes in the Marines as an institution (as far as we know at least) and that they exist to serve the people, so it makes sense to me that a good natured person like him with the willpower and strength to back it up would take over after Dragon, Luffy and possibly Ao Kiji help take out the black core of the Marines/World Government. Then again, I've always seen him and not Smoker as the current generation's Garp, despite the obvious parallel that Smoker is directly chasing Luffy and has clashed with him twice or three times now simply because Coby declared it his dream to become an admiral and promised to fight with Luffy someday if I recall. In a manga all about dreams it seems more likely that the one who declares it his dream will be the one doing it than the one who just does it out of broken pride and possibly boredom.

Terper posted:Why are people thinking Obviously it's going to fail spectacularly and no one of importance is going to be fooled for a second, but it makes for a nice excuse to change things up for a few fights as Lucy handicaps himself in an effort to maintain a disguise that's fooling no one. I'm surprisingly okay with Sanji's plot here. His "likes ladies" gag wore out its welcome a while ago, but it looks like it's not just a straightforward pretty lady gives Sanji an inhuman nosebleed joke like the last billion times, but something with a bit more too it. It seems like Sanji's boundaries might be pushed with this if she asks him to do something that's clearly wrong. At what point will Sanji not do something for a woman? Will he kill a random dude for a random lady? I'd hope not, but that's just what he got asked to do. Also... where's Kinemon gone off to? And when are we going to see the other bits of the crew?

As soon as Doflamingo finds Luffy he'll no doubt want to kick his rear end. That might be fine from Luffy's perspective, but Doflamingo has an entire country on his side. Luffy verus an entire country full of people powerful enough to call the New World home might be a bit much.

There seemed to be a good few folks sure of how he'd react over the last few weeks, so I'm interested to know. I was disappointed until Luffy immediately turned it into a Luffy style attachment. He doesn't care who has it as long as it's not some random jerk. So he immediately offers it to Franky and will likely offer it to just about anyone he knows and doesn't hate. If it doesn't got to Coby I hope they mail it back to Alabasta as a present to Carue.

Eiba posted:They're not hiding from law enforcement/marines. They're hiding from Doflamingo. And the coliseum is decidedly his domain. I mean, Franky even understands that it's probably a trap to lure Luffy out specifically. I had assumed Doflamingo is... well, was, the law. Also there's no way Lucy will even try to handicap himself for a second. If he does, then that'd be sweet, but I really don't think it'll happen. On the other hand, people said the same thing about Ace's fruit, so who knows.

The only Straw Hat I'd be okay with eating the Mera Mera fruit is Sanji, and that's because his most often-used attack is fire-based anyway, and it could complement his cooking. Then again, Sanji's fighting style is uniquely developed to be a kicking style that I doubt will change. I hope Coby somehow gets it.

Beyond the Coby and Toy Soldier ideas, I could see Kinemon getting it so that he can both cut and be fire. But I wonder if Franky picked up anything along the lines of feeding fruits to objects while he was away? I think that could be amazing, we've only seen zoan fruits given to objects so I wonder what it would do.

Colonel K posted:Could General Franky eat it? If Franky eats it, would his entire body be able to turn into fire or just his remaining human parts? If he ate it and his whole body could turn into fire, and he cut off one of his guns, would it still be able to turn into fire? Same questions if Franky ate a zoan. Would his metal parts still be part of the animal transformation? Would a cut off piece be able to transform into a tiny version of the animal? If Franky ate a fruit and built motors and poo poo into his body that allowed him to swim underwater, would the devil fruit still effect his ability to swim? If he built an oxygen tank into it too, couldn't Franky have a consequence-free devil fruit ability? d[-.-]b fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Mar 27, 2013 |

"d[-.- posted:b" post="413844064"] We know logia type users' clothes change with them, which seems to include anything metal on them, so I imagine Franky would be fine. However if he were a zoan it might be different since zoan types change while their clothes remain the same... Although they do seemingly grow larger to accommodate the zoan. He would be weakened by physical contact with the water, but I would imagine his mechanical parts would still function. So if he could transform into a submarine with propellers he should be fine until he passes out from energy loss.

Cat Machine posted:Both translations called it "Jet Walk", which is different from "Air Step"/"Geppou" that Haki users like Sanji and CP9 use. It does seem to be the same technique though. Could a toy really use Haki?! Pretty sure Sanji's was called something different, which the One Piece wiki says is "Sky Walk", so I would imagine they're all just variations on the same basic principle called by different names because they're used by different people. And if a being has strong enough willpower it can do anything regardless of it's origins or physiology in One Piece by the looks of things, which would certainly explain Bepo. tsob fucked around with this message at 23:18 on Mar 27, 2013 |
