Mangkie said: I seriously hope they dont change the name. One Piece: New World, that just bleghh. One Piece Shinsekai, sounds better in japanese to you? |

| Figured it was some message for a training period so they can acquire uber power ups(it is shonen after all). I just think it's dumb that they'll be separated longer than they've actually been together. |
 |
| Only thing that will make me mad is if we find out Blackbeard became a Yonkou, but it does seem inevitable. Still as for changes, probably Usopp has me most curious, I mean can go from blob to lean and fit, plus he seemed so serious about his title as king of Snipers. Still to me 1 year woudlve been more than enough separation time, 2 seems like pushing it. Mainly because I dont want them to just breeze at the beginning, seeing them struggle and overcoming challenges made everything enjoyable. But who knows just how big a gap the remaining Yonkou and Admirals really had over them to begin with, I just dont want One Piece to enter 'god mode' like some other shounens. |

That ball started rolling the moment Aokiji and the CP9 were introduced. I don't really mind it. Now that Ichigo and Naruto have gotten their newest power ups, and Luffy seems to be getting his, the VS forums on other sites will be exploding. :I For me I don't really care much about how Nami(never really liked her), Brook, or Nico improve. Luffy, Zolo, and Sanji getting uber power ups is a given. I actually want to see if Chopper will be able to control his additional forms without the Rumble Ball. |

| Damn, a four week break after such an awesome chapter?! No doubt that Oda deserves it, but it still kills me! Still, I have no doubt that it will be worth every second. XD |

SalumoN said: Finally, the long awaited time skip is here. It was good to see Luffy again, but now it will be four boring weeks with no One Piece, but still, I do understand Oda when he wants 4 weeks. Since, he isn't just gonna figure what's gonna happen in the chapter. He also has to make new character design, not on just the straw hats, new skills, and how strong they become. Also, it would be weird for us readers to just start reading the next chapter next week. Well, I can't wait! I highly doubt that Oda is gonna think all those up now. He probably has a good idea how he will do those things for a long time now. Anyway 4 weeks really seems a little too much. I mean most people don't get more than 2 weeks break from there job. It would seem more sensible if it was 2 weeks. Anyway am certain Oda won't show any training and he will go straight to 2 years later when he comes back. So much things to learn except the new powers and maybe looks of the crew members. What did the world government wanted with Buggy, who is gonna be the new admiral, what did the Supernovas, Blackbeard and Whitebeard's crew where up to? I expect a possible more muscular Usopp and longer hair Nami. I don't see how the others can change though.Well Franky could change his looks completely to a very good looking guy since the technology he has in his hands will allow him to upgrade with out having metal parts like his nose showing of. Shiken said: about the haki, we pretty much just got confirmed everything we had already guessed, including that mantra was haki. seems a little overpowered that one person can learn more than one color, but i kinda doubt luffy is gonna somehow come away from this with full mastery of all 3. the prediction one doesn't really seem to suit him. Also I've had my fill of "trained, older hero arrives, scans the battlegrounds to sense his allies presence, etc etc *coughbleachcough*" lol. Unfortunately for you, Luffy already showed signs that he possessed the prediction color during his fight with Mihawk. |
MonadAug 27, 2010 1:26 PM
| I think it would be hilarious it ussop was muscular but still a coward. It'll open up ussopp to being more funny |
| Awesome! I didn't think Zoro would ask Mihawk to train him, but I'm glad he did. It will really help him in the end, even if it is weird. I also REALLY can't wait to see how the crew changes in 2 years time. It should be great. Too bad there's this long break and probably a couple more weeks in between :< Well, enjoy your vacation Oda~ And the cover page with Whitebeard and Roger is badass. |

| SOMEONE NEEDS TO PHOTOSHOP NAMI WITH LONG HAIR NAOW :3 This also means Robin is going to be 30 and too old :( |
     |
WingZero1223 said: Also, I'm predicting that Luffy's haki specialty will be a hybrid of two different colors That would be interesting and fitting, since we can see Blackbeard being built up as his eventual ultimate foe for the One Piece, who himself has the powers of two Devil Fruits. |
 |
| Shit, can anybody else believe that we've been reading this for (more than) 597 weeks and we're only halfway done. Hell, the SH haven't even crossed the actual halfway point of the Red Line yet. I guess Oda's just super awesome. |

Filleraol said: All hail Oda! No thanks. :I |
|
| TWO YEARS?!!?!?. x___x" Wow. Can't wait to see how strong/different they'll be in two years. (aka 4 weeks irl right?) |

Gunbladewarrior said: 6 months would have been fine, but 2 years? Seems too long. It is long but it is justified; considering that the Strawhats' recent history where they either had just squeaked a victory (Thriller Bark) or were downright owned and bitchslapped (Sabaody), it's pretty clear that they are nowhere near ready for what the New World has to offer. An Admiral or even just a couple of Vice-Admirals might be enough to take them out if they proceeded as they were after TB. Training - lengthy ones, and plenty of it - is what they need. That is unless you'd rather have them asspull one victory after another. |

| I wonder what's gonna happen with Perona. She and Zoro are gonna have babies in those 2 years and she's gonna join the straw hats? I hope so, she's got a pretty funky power and she's pretty funny/cute. |

| MAN! OP is So great I do think that Oda-sensei really deserves this break. . . and CANT WAIT for the chap.s ! XD at least it did explain what the Haki mainly does. and didnt leave us hanging for the next 4 weeks. Filleraol said: All hail Oda! I agree! |

This is the same group that was able to adapt to fighting at the CP9's pace within days(or however long it was) of their previous fight with them. |

Of course, of course; the Strawhats weren't destroyed by Aokiji before the Water 7 arc. And they obliterated CP9 and didn't need to squeeze out every bit of strength and luck they had to win against them. And they weren't caught completely off-guard by Moria and his merry army of zombies. Then they were totally able to stand tall against Kuma. And they didn't need any help when Kizaru dropped by. Oh wait..... |

Gunbladewarrior said: Yes, I clearly said that they one shot all of the CP9 members. And what we have here right now is my point completely going over your head. Wonderful, just wonderful. This doesn't look to be a promising discussion anymore so before this just goes into a redundant back-and-forth, I will just bid you good night. Good night. |
|
| I don't really understand why you started in the first place. :I |
|
| Mature, save that for the other shounens, theyre fine the way they are now for the most part, a cast of lovable characters who all had their troubling pasts but rather than wallow in pity and anguish decide to live their dreams and push on with their lives. They all become serious and determined when they fight which is more important. In some ways 2 years seems alot just cause they've only been together for less than a year, damn Franky and Brooke probably less than a month. And also 2 years is just so theyre strong enough to manage along in the New World, not dominate it right away, that way we see some struggles. |
| Great time for time skip... I think the aftermath chapters were a bit too long (even with all the nice buildup) Other than the Haki/Nen/Chakra thing in which all shounen series have, nice chapter. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This chapter was actually very wonderful. The panel with Luffy's hat was very pretty. All its battle scars and such. It was nice. What's with all the Perona hate? I don't feel anything for her character or anything, people are just like: "RARUHGJH SHE HAD BETTER NOT JOIN GHOST WHORE." everywhere I go. |

 Gonna Catch 'Em All |
| 1 week down, three to go. I was wondering though, to me it seems like Luffy, Trafalgar Law and Eustas Kidd were the three strongest out of the 11 Super Nova's. Now Luffy is training for 2 years, Law is taking his sweet time and Kidd is going on a rampage. But if Luffy wouldn't stand a chance in the new world, what kind of chance do people like Scratchman Apoo stand? >_> |
| Rofl, obviously EVERYONE will improve.. its a fucking 2 years skip.. they are pretty important characters if Oda showed them so much, so they'll get their screen time with their powers at their time.. Kidd ofc also will learn haki etc... they ARE ALREADY in New World.. that is the difference.. |
smokes said: Rofl, obviously EVERYONE will improve.. its a fucking 2 years skip.. they are pretty important characters if Oda showed them so much, so they'll get their screen time with their powers at their time.. Kidd ofc also will learn haki etc... they ARE ALREADY in New World.. that is the difference.. Wow, you really didn't get what I said. Luffy and his crew are training for 2 whole years, because otherwise they can't survive. Despite them probably being the strongest (and at the very least, not the weakest) of the 11 Supernova's. Still, almost all the other Supernova's just charged into the New World. I know everyone is going to improve. But if it would be that easy, Luffy and crew wouldn't need to train: they could just get stronger in the New World. But they said they couldn't survive without the training BEFOREHAND. So, it's safe to assume not all of them will survive for those 2 years |
| Three more weeks to go! I was wondering, is this part of Oda's plan, or did he maybe forget it? We still haven't seen Luffys new bounty after hitting that damn dude, impel down, the war, and then declaring war(as in how the government sees it). And by adding another two years to it, I wonder how much he will get :P |
| @Jesusvius, well they should train mostly because they had a Lot of drama moments before entering New world..so its like saying, i didnt pass school, i had very bad marks, i will just go just like this straight to university, maybe i'll learn there smth.. its wrong.. they should be prepared so that they wont have such moments like that again .. and obviously i think some other supernova will have some importance in storyline.. so its not like they will be some ultimate enemies or so... they'll just interact with other people there.. (talking about apoo or others) its clear that Oda planned their 'fate' in new world already.. otherwise he wouldnt send them so easily in New World.. or he just sent them quickly so that we could focus on straw hat crew =) |

(talking about apoo or others) its clear that Oda planned their 'fate' in new world already.. otherwise he wouldnt send them so easily in New World.. or he just sent them quickly so that we could focus on straw hat crew =) I don't want to sound mean but I guess this is a language barrier.I agree with you that they should train. This is where you misunderstand: The other Supernova's (except for Law) *did* go ahead without training. Considering that Luffy's definately not the weakest out of them all: why should Luffy need training to survive, but the others don't? That's why I'm saying that probably not all the Supernovas will be succesful after the timeskip. Get it? |
| Of course they won't all be successful. X Drake is about to get romperstomped on by either Kaidou's allies or Kaidou himself. |
| @Jesusvius, got it got it =) anyway as i said, prolly they wont be 'enemies' they'll just be part of the story, and prolly meeting some other strong pirates or do other stuff.. i just dont think they will die just like that easily as you say in these 2 years.. they had a pretty big time screen.. i bet Oda has smth in mind for them.. not just randomly dieing in New world.. |
| I thought time skip would be at least 5 years. For every single of those who said time skip is awkward. I can tell you; for the person who read one piece chapter by chapter each week for 6 years, this is the best timing for time skip. For fuckin 500 or more chapter, Luffy never actually trained or did 'proper' power up. He defeated all his animes in, basically same way. Yep, there was Gear 2... Gear 3.. blahblah. But that isn't really power-up, since it is just using pre-existing advantage of gomu gomu no mi. Same with all the others, probably except Usopp who changed his weapon itself. It's bluntly obviously that all the crew members of strewhat is just weak as hell. Luffy's ability has too much weaknesses, Sanji's leg could not even destroy kuma-robot in one shot. Zoro is not even close to the level of Hawk, Usopp is shit fragile. Chopper is useless all the time except being a doctor and Franky is weak cyborg. Robin needs to learn more about lost history and Nami needs better weapon. I can't comment on Brooke, since he never really fought a lot since recruitment. I actually saw this time skip coming miles away, since I saw how hax character Kuma was and awesome 'if you are going to travel, where you want to go?'. My biggest concern is Sunny Go. I mean, it is captured by crazy kuma-terminator now. And, no for character being mature. Luffy should be food idiot as always, Zoro should always got lost in Sunny Go, Sanji should always be womaniser, Nami should always love moneymoneymoney Robin should be serious as always, Brooke needs more 45 degree, Chopper should always hide in opposite way, Franky should be more 'SUPAA'. Only one I think need improvement in terms of maturity Usopp. He is, if not, only character who actually developed its personality throughout the series. It would be freakin hilarious too if Usopp does really change and become hax strong. Knowing Oda, this is totally possible. Monad said: This is the longest hiatus Oda ever taken since he started manga 10 years ago. He practically worked without a single rest, and I think it is deserved.Anyway 4 weeks really seems a little too much. I mean most people don't get more than 2 weeks break from there job. It would seem more sensible if it was 2 weeks. Jesuvius said: Haha, yeah, that's very true. All the supernovas are shit except that kid, law and dinosaur guy. Bonney is down already, all the other doesn't look good, either.Now Luffy is training for 2 years, Law is taking his sweet time and Kidd is going on a rampage. But if Luffy wouldn't stand a chance in the new world, what kind of chance do people like Scratchman Apoo stand? >_> But saying that, Luffy wasn't particularly strong,till now. He relies on his stretch body all the time, and it has tons of flaws and critical points. His bounty is only high, since he defeated some notorious ones. All his victory was either by luck, or opponent actually weaker than what they were described (Gecko Moria). CP9's lose is just mystery, though. The reason Luffy desperately needs training is not only because they are going to new word. Navy is now basically 'hunting' Luffy for being son of Dragon. They just want to make sure that this kind of separation never happen again. wakka9ca said: But I'm pretty sure Haki was suggested since East Blue saga. :/Other than the Haki/Nen/Chakra thing in which all shounen series have, nice chapter. |
