I am people, can confirm that I love Jinbe.

But also? Perona should join. That Moria guy is no good.

Edit: I'm lying I love Moria too.

I really appreciate Nami's armor. Might be one of my favorite outfits for her.

The only thing in Enies Lobby that didn't quite nail it for me is that I found Lucci to be kinda boring as a badguy.

Carrot is either going to join the crew, die, or have a big twist. There's no other reason for her to be around for so long. Oda is incredibly careful about his allocation of panels now and I don't believe he would waste the time he's spent on Carrot.

I mean, he's a good writer, but sometimes he does things just because he likes them or thinks they're cool. Carrot is a fun, cute character. That's reason enough to keep her around for so long.

PW4 is enjoyable enough but I feel like PW3 had a more cartoony style and a brighter color palette more in line with what One Piece should be like.

This one kinda reminds me of the screenshots of that single player One Piece open world game that came out last year.

In the meantime I have achieved one of my goals and convinced some friends of mine who are behind on One Piece (and one of whom has never read it) to start a One Piece Book Club to catch up to it. I am very excited.

I was trying to look up where Chopper said it and found a picture of Zoro scrubbing Chopper when they were in the royal baths, so it's probably a duty the whole crew shares.

This always happens. A character is overwhelmingly referred to as one gender and implied to be trans, the character refers to themself as their preferred gender, then one character or panel refers to them as their biological gender and whoop, that's all some people need, all the more numerous instances of in this case Yamato being called a man are now invalidated.

It's so tiring.

If you should have died but you didn't it basically means Oda doesn't consider you important enough for your death to have a real impact.

Or you're a Strawhat.

When would you folks say that Usopp's pre-timeskip design was mostly solidified? I've been reading through again as part of a One Piece focused book club with a few friends and Usopp's design is very different when he first shows up.

Yeah, one of them, anyways. It was a pretty fun stretch when people were firing off their renditions of classic OP scenes, one after another. Hard to believe that was 10 (!) years ago.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words, and sorry for adding fuel to the Carrot flame war. She's a good kid.

Nah I thought it was funny. Poking fun at fan theories/wishes is good.

I have a theory that someday after One Piece ends we're going to look back at Skypiea and realize that it was the entirety of One Piece's plot in one arc.

I'm not basing this on anything other than me really liking Skypiea and how it perfectly distills One Piece down to its best elements.

An ocean current would drown in itself if it ate a devil fruit.

If a fishman who ate a devil fruit doesn't drown, I think an ocean current would be fine.

Ah, so both sides of the calm belt are ocean currents that ate devil fruits and sank to the bottom of themselves and lost their ability to swim.

I liked Oden a lot, but strangely his death didn't do much for me? Usually flashbacks are really good at getting the tears out of me but his didn't do that.

Regarding egg laying, look to SBS volume 10.

D: When the Arlong guys and the other Fish-Men give birth, do they lay eggs like fish?

O: BZZZT. Fish-Men are still mammals, so they give birth the way humans do. There are fishwomen too, of course.

This might not apply to merpeople though.

I think the second thing you said would be really impactful writing. Yeah maybe they do beat one of the two here, but the consequence of that is a lot of people dying, and that is something Luffy has to live with forever
