| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ok, So... It's a special episode of ONE PIECE. but there is no such Treasure as One piece, but instead, becoming a real man of the sea which is called Main Piece. (Nami) Ann is just like... Well you cannot not see nami there... Anyway, the opponent pirate this episode was pretty strong, but way too crowd lol There is NO SHANKS, and GARP IS A PIRATE HAHAHA I would say it's a really nice story to watch(: |
Did you ever ask what if Garp was a pirate? Are you satisfied now? Honestly, I expected this to be a special apart from the TV show. There were some jokes, but otherwise, it is very insignificant. |
| Was a little weird seeing Garp as a pirate. |
 |
| I was expecting it to be a separate episode from the anime, but I don't mind it. The animation was amazing and it finally brought life to the prototype of One Piece, a fantastic way to celebrate a proper anniversary. Sure, the plot is basically villain of the week sorta like the first arcs in the East Blue saga back but is fascinating to see how the author was envisioning some elements that would later be part of Nobel worthy manga. I'm so glad that this celebratory episode turned out this way, thanks Toei! |

| Just imagine the same pacing in the Canon anime T_T They adapted 44 pages in a single episode xD |

| How can you get shot and have a huge bullet hole at the back but not at the front, even that bullet hole is gone later on! Mediocre at its best. More importantly they just changed Nami's colors on that girl, the fuck. Garp as a pirate actually fitted him, and I hear Shanks is an admiral on that universe. The f is a peace main? |

| One Piece greatness,Happy 20th anniversary to the greatest Anime of all time. |
| The art and animation were gorgeous! If only we had that quality for every episode. It's very interesting to see what could've been. Anne, a mix of Nami and Vivi and Pirate Garp with the Straw Hat. |
asei said: Did you ever ask what if Garp was a pirate? Are you satisfied now? Honestly, I expected this to be a special apart from the TV show.

It's fascinating to see. It's everything but insignificant. |
| I low key enjoyed this It's an interesting alternate universe ngl. The artstyle was pretty fresh too ^^ For once it didn't feel like everything is unnecessarily stretched Am I the only one that thinks the opponent's ability is way too strong? It's like some huge range psychokinesis or sth |

| a new twist of one piece..where luffy just wants to be a peace main or whatever...which is technically what he is now but in a good way lol |
 |
| Not gonna lie, I kinda wish he kept the "Morganeers vs Piece-mains" gimmick. There were some direction issues regarding the delivery of some lines and the fact that they reuse the same main voice actors for every small character, although I can forgive Anne since she is basically proto-Nami, but overall they did this justice. The animation especially looked very good, but I don't feel like this is 'special episode' worthy as much as I think the whole series should've looked like this. 4/5 but I'm setting it back to dropped because I got sick of the main episodes. |
 |
| Interesting twist on an alternate reality! But back to the main thing next week! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Nice to see the original Romance dawn story getting animated Interesting to see how things could have been different if it didn't get changed, even Luffy's personality felt a little bit different |
 |
| That was very enjoyable and I dunno why they wouldn't expand on it. Not realistic at all, but a man can dream. Also would be cool to see Wanted! animated. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I enjoyed this episode more than any Wano episode released so far. I would actually watch it if this was a mini series lol |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| Garp as Shanks works surprisingly well, though his crew wasn't quite as fleshed out. That short stoy of Luffy though would fit quite nicely into the "real" One Piece as wel. |
| I love this alternate universe episode |
| Well that was interesting, Garp as a pirate. |
 |
| Hard to see this version of "Nami" with blue hair color. That's still very odd and strange to me. I find it cool that they used the same VA. It fits very well, though she doesn't have equal personality as Nami. Lovely animation. The animation was really great. I would love another ep. of this were these parallel world meets in a special ep. That would really be great to watch. Ofc, Oda is the one who writes the story for that special ep. Hard to imagine Garp saying anything like that: "It's good to be a pirate". LOL. If this version of Garp and the one in the main plot had met this dude would have gotten a real punch. Hahaha Cool ep. I am glad Oda stayed with the one who have been published for 20 years, more than 900 ch. + ep. Yeah, One Piece happy 20th anniversary! May you stay in our life before we die. LOL, hahaha |

| Didn't think they would anime the one shot (start of one piece), cause no other series ever animate their one shot/ original start. (most times not even ova) This was what made One Piece popular and the start of it all. Also, a note, the original didn't have the "Gum-Gum" call every time Luffy punch or kicks. It was a pure fighting, no delay. They only added in the call cause apparently little kids loved it. |

| It was a fun alternate take on One Piece, although how it turned out in the end was better so I'm glad this wasn't the path One Piece ultimately went down. I wish they had animated some of the side stuff from the manga like how Wapol got a new kingdom and the CP-9 in the aftermath of Ennies Lobby. It's not like they couldn't have used the extra weeks that would have given them. |
| That was a nice refeshing episode. Interesting to see the roots of the One Piece we know today. A lot of things changed to the original like Garp being a pirate and taking the Shanks role which was pretty cool. Even if Ann is another character I also only saw and heard Nami in her :D It's weird not hearing Luffy say anything when he attacks. You get so used to it. Poor Brook..ehm I mean Spiel got totally rekt. Reminded me how Alvida went flying. Animation was cool I definitely liked it. Happy 20th Anniversary :) |
 |
| Garp is actually a pirate lol and Devil fruits are instead called Mystic fruits |
 |
| Garp - "It's Good To Be A Pirate" LOOOL "The Art was nice" Remember marineford when he was sitting next to Ace and he was crying telling him why didn't you live the life I told you to live. yoo man. |

| What an interesting origin. But I am glad it changed along the way, the goal of being a peace-main just seems lacklustre compared to his current dreams. That said I am not sure if I would have preferred the lack of the gummi gummi attack calls. |

| So a filler ep. The most memorable : grandfather of Luffy being a pirate...that was so funny even for an a spciall edition. |

| -¡Give yourself to me! |
| An especial episode about an alternate beginning for the whole story, truly irrelevant, I couldn’t care less. |
 |
| This is how we want the episodes to be like, this is when pacing is great and no bullshit time wasted. |
| Garp was a pirate! Lol. But what's the purpose of this special again? |
 |
| It was strange to see a One Piece episode with good pacing. It's been so long. That was a interesting episode. Not sure what to think about Garp being a pirate in this alternate universe. |
| That was kinda weird but ok. |
 |
| I like how they used the original crew's VA's for some of the characters in this special. So this was a different way One Piece could've gone. |
