Based on the apparent clothing on the legs of the Flying Six, I think they will be leather-clad like King and one of them is a samurai. I also think they'll be under King's direct authority as similar flying Zoans.

Comedy option: they're just a bunch of pairs of legs that cut off above the camera angle like the parents from Cow and Chicken.

I read the manga now but the early one piece episodes did some playing with the idea of the whole punch cutaway sound effect guys on the ground combo that you see when they don't want to trigger censors but kinda quickly moved away from it.

I'm not sure what this is referring to. :confused: Do you have a video clip as an example you could show that highlights this?

I vaguely remember him saying in SBS one time that he originally planned to end the series after Crocodile. Like, Baroque Works was gonna be the big final enemy, but it just didn't work out that way. Sometimes Oda plans stuff out years advance, sometimes he backfills connections, sometimes he just makes up new stuff and adds it in, and it's all fine!!

I remember it as Oda saying he already had the Yonkou mapped out and that it would have been a lot quicker going from Grand Line to facing the Yonkou, but he kept filling out details in between like the Shichibukai that kept delaying things out more and more.

Yeah I think that's probably because the Yonkou are more integral to the main plot line while the Shichibukai are just supplementary to the main plot.

I do not think it was an accident that Alvida - the first named pirate Luffy faces off against - and Kaidou both wield a spiked club as their main weapon. It's a nice poetic bookend.

I just remembered Aokiji is working for Blackbeard now, most likely as a double agent.

Does this mean we'll eventually get a rematch between Aokiji and the Straw Hats? If so, I'd expect an explicit callback to Long Ring Long Island and how Luffy and co. have grown since then.

I've been rereading some of the early One Piece chapters, and they explicitly mention about needing to do a background check with Coby because of pirates secretly wanting to join the Marines as spies. I wonder if Oda eventually wanted to use that as a plot point that early on ie Vergo?

Besides, how did Vergo hide his ties to the Doflamingo Family? Did they ever mention that?

E:

Obviously Shanks and Buggy are here, but did Oda ever use any of these other character designs? The one in green looks cool. Pretty interesting to see how things have changed since the early days.

I hope this becomes Marineford done better, because there were SO many interesting people there but I was still almost anime-exclusive at the time and it was just hours of marines running and Luffy having a shocked face. This has the potential to be the biggest fight since then and Marine Ford started 11 years ago

I'm guessing the Numbers won't be fully revealed until the actual battle is underway, and it will be an awesome two-page spread of just an army of Awakened pseudo-Zoan users.

Just out of curiosity, what do people rate as their best and worst arcs of One Piece as a whole?

I'd say for me that Marineford is the best while Fishman Island is the worst. Marineford had blow after blow of awesome moments and reveals - especially the upset of actually killing off a major character after making it a rule that nobody dies outside of a flashback - while Fishman Island was kind of underwhelming after literally years of anticipation and hype. The subversive commentary on prejudice and racial hatred was still pretty great, though.

Will be really cool if the key to beating Scratchman is just putting some earplugs in (and Luffy might still have his from WCI!) - feels like a long time since Oda had the crew beat a baddie through something other than willpower/brute force.

Yeah, I agree with this theory. As long as you can hear the sound waves within range, you can be hit. This would explain how Kizaru, an intangible Logia Devil Fruit-user, was able to be affected by Apoo without the use of Haki all the way back on Sabaody Island.

I was kind of expecting them to get crushed at some point, particularly the samurai, and as much as Luffy can hit harder now after the prison training, it definitely feels like he needs another power up like awakening to power through. What is anyone meant to do about Kaido throwing a giant fireball at them, or Big Mom's sun? If Luffy can turn them to rubber and bounce them back, then maybe...

I feel like Luffy will learn Awakening and whatever else is the endgame potential for his Devil Fruit before encountering Blackbeard, if only to highlight Luffy's strength after having all of his abilities taken away and having to rely on his fists and Haki alone against Blackbeard's overwhelming advantage. Essentially, "can Luffy still win even with one hand tied behind his back?"

And it will be spectacular. Just imagining Blackbeard coming at him with a fist full of earthquakes and whatever other Devil Fruit abilities he's stolen by then, and Luffy just going no. I could very well see Kaidou dying and Blackbeard swooping in to steal his Oni/Dragon Devil Fruit ability to complete the Paramecia/Logia/Zoan trifecta or having dozens upon dozens of different Devil Fruits absorbed and turning into some crazy Tetsuo-esque abomination.

Im good with not seeing every single battle. The overall plot is much more interesting and the major fights are usually more enjoyable anyway. Ive been happy with the small skirmishes in Wano were a lot of encounters are just a 1-2 page clash and then moving on. There have been enough heavier fights as is.

The chapters are much easier to digest when reading weekly. Caught up on a few weeks worth of chapters and uh, if you dont pause there is just soo much poo poo going on, and characters bouncing in and out, its a system shock if you dont pause between chapters to absorb whats going on.

Man, I'm just imagining Marineford Part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

There's going to be so many callback characters showing up it'll be insane. It'll be like that part at the beginning of Marineford where they're naming off Whitebeard's New World allies like Thunder McGuy and the Decalvan Brothers etc, but this time it will be Straw Hat allies we've all gotten to know over time and it will be awesome.

I'm kind of confused as to what was happening on the last page of the latest chapter: who is the one speaking in the thought/flashback bubbles about "surrendering your name"? And why did Kaidou suddenly get distracted by a vision of Oden thus letting himself get stabbed by the Nine Red Scabbards? Is it all because of Kaidou having flashbacks to when Oden made his final assault and history repeating itself?

"Surrender your name" is part of the sunacchi battle cry that's come up a few times this arc. The Red Scabbards are basically saying they're going beat Kaido or die trying and yeah, their all-or-nothing attack is reminding him of Oden.

I know what it means, I'm just trying to figure out who exactly is saying/thinking it, usually that style of speech bubble is the "Voice of All Things" kind of deal. Are they all thinking it collectively?
