Oda, you are not tricking me into having hope for an actual fight with Nico Robin for the first time in two decades I'm not falling for it! Not again!

I'm a fool who never learns from my mistakes so I do have hope. Oda please

I feel like they should've just used "tanuki" instead of "raccoon dog" because the dialogue sounds a lot more stilted now, but I guess that ship had sailed long ago.

It's pretty obvious rereading the Manga that oda sometimes just forgets things. Like how after the timeskip, we learn in Fishman Island that Nami's able to use Mirage Tempo to make herself invisible. Gee, that sure would have been useful sneaking around tea parties and shoguns :geno:

I didn't even realize this :psyduck: That's actually really jarring now that you pointed it out

Honestly the plot beats in OP have largely always been quote-unquote "cliched", it's Oda's worldbuilding and storytelling that elevates it to where you don't care about all that and you're just enjoying the ride.

Sure, let's give this a go:

Zoro: 1,450,000,000
Nami: 210,000,000
Usopp: 1,000,000,000 (Some colossal misunderstanding is gonna result in this :v:)
Sanji: 1,230,000,000
Chopper: 330,000,000 (We're entering the endgame, it's time to let go of this gag)
Robin: 660,000,000
Franky: 320,000,000
Brook: 270,000,000

Kalifa protected herself against Nami's Thunderbolt Tempo with a cage of soap bubbles, Aokiji encasing Enel in ice probably would be good enough for Oda either way

I think it's valid to point out that "making giant legs to stomp people" and "turning into a giant demon" feel like they're just barely scratching the surface of what Oda could do with it, though. I wanna see her creating hundreds of fishmen karate arm thrusts from walls like a spiketrapped corridor, make a giant centipede out of arms to choke a dragon, form a massive fan to blow back gas clouds, so on and so forth. How cool would it have been if instead of just hitting the ceiling to make debris to put out the fire in her fight with Black Maria, she sprouts karate thrusts out of the falling debris to pummel Maria, or something.

We saw Vivi jumping off a crow's nest and landing perfectly in her reappearance, which I feel was Oda's shorthand for saying "Vivi has grown stronger in the past few years too"

When she turned a bunch of marines into kids and old people pre-timeskip she was also chilling eating a pizza, so she can probably use it at range somehow

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:

the weird thing about bonney is that bb tried to trade her instead of quietly killing her to steal her power. it's obvious why the wg would value her df power, no matter how temporary the effects might be. but they seem to want her for more than that. there are much more drastic options available to put her df under their control, such as an exploding slave collar or even a cyborg lobotomy like kuma. it's not like the wg has scruples, so why the kid gloves?

The way Akainu talked to Bonney, it doesn't sound like they were holding her for DF research, but instead it sounds like she is an important person to the WG in some way. My personal theory is that Bonney is a child of a Celestial Dragon who ate a fruit, escaped, and formed a pirate crew, possibly of other aged-up children as well. It would also explain why she was able to escape again after Akainu took her, they might have refrained from using heavy force to detain her because she's someone of status.

Usopp seems pretty clearly intended to be the crew's "sharpshooter" anyway; it's also a distinct position filled by Van Augur in BB's crew and Yasopp in Shanks'.

I don't mind Yamato not joining per se but it's just really weird that the story spent so much time telling us he wants to join and other people telling him to gp with Luffy only to abruptly drop him. Like, it's a pointless bait-and-switch.
