For those of you reading the One Piece manga, and are up to speed with the current storyline I have a funny feeling that the One Piece manga will finally get a time skip.

Oda: And as far as something that will hold true for both the comic and the anime, this will be Luffy's last adventure as a 17 year-old. So this [movie] is something I want you to burn into your memories.

Interviewer: Whaaat!? You can't leave me with just that!

Oda: Nope, I can't say anything more than that now.


I just wanted your thoughts on how you would take a possible time skip after this arc or later on, do you think it will be a good thing for the manga to take on a new older, mature and maybe a wiser luffy or do you think it will just turn off current one piece fans who love luffy just the way he is?



An image of an older luffy from the last chapter of romance dawn.





There was a rumor that oda stated in an interview that a former enemy of strawhats will be the next crew mate, we all know that it will definitely be a women so could it possibly be her... o.O



Or Maybe...



And lasty..

Yeah it should'ave, and so it is. Just don't do it again :v

As for the actual topic, whoa. Time skip would certainly be a gentle way to ease down this last arc, which quite calls for some kind of breather. I think I would personally quite like it. Maybe? It'd be a weird thing to get used to.

Thanx and I also think it would help to move things along as everything is sort of hectic right now and luffy is in a very unstable postion.

Hahah, Sanji in that picture reminds me of Bart from Xenogear for some reason.

I'm more interested in the next crewmate than the timeskip to be honest. Although, I'd like to admit that before this arc and what has transpired, I didn't see a time skip in OP's future; in fact I was out right opposed to it.

Now if the rumors are true about their next crewmate being a former enemy, I can't see in being Alvida, or Perona despite the cover page story. Alvida pretty much stole Buggy's crew and Perona reminds me too much of Nami, so considering the uniqueness of each strawhat I doubt it likely that either of them will join. Tashigi however, does seem possible. Smoker, no, but Tashigi yes. I can't remember anything that'd place doubt in my mind.

In fact am rooting for both perona and tashigi and I believe both will be great laughs and have there moments with the crew but for some reason having a former marine join the strawhat crew would be amazing, does it mean something will happen to smoker?

Would there be any chance the new crew member being Boa hancock ? i mean... she was luffys enemy to begin with. untill she fell in love with him. a time skip would be wierd imo. not bad, but somehow risky because it ruin one piece or make it better. but wierd. thats for sure ^^

Perona would be better i think ^^

But im curious about new luffy. all of the fans loves luffy because he is acting before thinking. Always laughs and dont care about details. Changing luffy would be very hard (and also can be a big risk) because of luffy (or one piece) fans (I think ^^).

probably in a couple of chapters. I always love timeskips in any anime or manga, so I'm glad this is happening, I think that Luffy will stay the same idiot tho :P else there wouldn't be as much comedy

Time skip, really ... cool XD That's probably the best thing he could do so I hope it's true.

If it's between Alvida, Thashigi or Perona than it's probably Perona.

I full-heartedly encourage a time skip. Would be so awesome seeing the crew back together having matured and become stronger. And with all the stuff happening in the latest chapters I can't wait for the time skip to come. I'm getting a bit psyched here

I guess Hancock is the most highly speculated one. I doubt any of the current people he teamed up with will join him. Well at least not permanently. Jimbei might stay with him to train him for a bit. Hell maybe even if all the Straw Hats find each other again then maybe Vista will train Zoro.

yeah! Hancock for next crew mate! hahaha Perona would be good as well.. I just hope that time skip will not take that long as 5 years or so... 6 months to 1 year is enough to cover up all those mess happened.. say that Robin will stay in slave island for 5 years? oh my.. and Nami with that old geezer, lucky that there are no pervy guys like Absalom around =D... and in that long period of time, Sanji will be pink overall XD

Time skip in Gurren Laggan is enough for me XD it made the anime better to its conclusion.. but I hope that won't happen to One Piece cuz it'll become pretty serious T_T from then on.. I want a happy-go-lucky crew after all..

Ok, I'll throw in my thoughts, even though I've only watched the anime as I'm waiting for the carry case of manga to be released in Australia so I can buy 20+ volumes at once.

First: The time skip. Let's face it, it's going to be a long one. First, there's Luffy's life expectancy being shortened by 10 years, his now explosive hormone mix, his huge physical and mental (due to Ace's death) injuries and the fact that he doesn't know where his crew is. Add to this the fact that Robin and another person (can't remember who) aren't in the Grand Line and have a long way to go to get back to the crew, that Zoro needs a LONG time to heal up and Perona will just scare him into staying still until he's completely better, and Franky doesn't really have any motivation to go back to the crew now that he's running on Darjeeling, it's gonna take a while to get everyone back together.

Second: Where everyone will be for this time skip. 1. Luffy will probably go back to Amazon Lily, help protect them from the wrathful Marine's, cos let's face it, Hancock is gonna lose her Shichibukai status, and maybe Luffy will get turned into a woman for the resting period so as to avoid any further repercussions to the island (and let's face it, that would be hilarious, both for the lol's of a female luffy, and the fun of seeing everyone's reactions when they see him, I say he wouldn't be changed back before he meets the others because...) 2. Sanji will be rescued by Ivan. Ivan will transform Luffy and say that he'll be back soon after he takes all the New Kama back to Pink Island, and when he finds out that Sanji is a member of Luffy's crew, he'll take him to Amazon Lily. And let's face it, Sanji's reaction to an island of women would be priceless, but what about his reaction to Luffy being a woman and not knowing it at first? And what about the fact that Luffy has seduced the most beautiful woman in the world? It would be extremely funny imo. 3. Zoro will be forced to rest. 4. Chopper will get those big birds to give him a lift once he manages to stop those guys from trying to eat him. 5. Brook will help those black magic guys (after being granted the sight of panties (I loved that, I laughed so hard XD)), which will also give him more fighting experience and make him stronger and then get them to give him a lift to the Saobondy Archipelago. 6. Franky will become a member of the community on Mecha island until one day he finds Vegapunks old lab, will probably find cola and become his normal old self, then realise the wealth of weapons knowledge in the place, and spend a little while upgrading himself. 7. Nami will learn more about the weather, be granted all sorts of upgrades to the Clima Tact, and then take a while but eventually figure out how to get down off the Sky Island. 8. Robin will be freed but will go back to free the slaves and 9. Usopp will fight for his life alongside Hercules until he can find a way off the island, and hopefully will learn how to be a shooter fighting alongside and in a melee brawl.

Third: The new crew member. I'm going with there being three or more new members. Perona is my first guess because as she takes care of Zoro, she'll learn more about the Straw Hats and eventually decide that they're gonna be more fun to be with and treat her better than Moria did. Plus she'll either fall for Zoro or (my guess) Usopp, cos Oda seems like the guy to like pairing people up. Boa Hancock is my second guess because she's in love with Luffy, which will only be cemented if he rests and recuperates on Amazon Lily (although that blonde chick might worm her way in there) and if she loses her Shichibukai status, travelling with the future pirate king might do the same thing for Amazon Lily that Whitebeards protection did for Merman Island. Plus she'll give control back over to the old lady. The third guess for me is Buggy. Now I know what you're thinking, 'if there's gonna be a male old enemy, shouldn't it be Mr. 2?' No, I don't think so. As much as I did think so, then I remembered that Bon-chan will probably go to New Kama land, and Buggy no longer has a crew, no longer wants revenge on Luffy and is one of Luffy's oldest enemies.

That's all I got. I'd say the time skip would be 2, maybe 3 years.

haha nice I agree with all you've said so far.. That's what I wanted to happen as well =) I bet there'll be a lot of flash backs goin to happen after the time skip where everyone have their own stories of their journey to shabondy.

Nice post chinlamp.

I cant stand Buggy as a crew mate though, really hate that guy. Would be the weak link with Usopp if he joined.

It's gotta someone strong like Hancock. How can they expect to beat people like Blackbeard pirates with wimps like Usopp and Buggy?

My guess is Hancock and if it's not a female then Crocodile or Jimbei.

Actually what's far more likely to happen is that Buggy will take over Whitebeard's Yonkou status because of the Marines fucking up and thinking he's an actual threat. Also I forgot about Perona. I think she's the most likely candidate.

a few wild ideas from chinlamp ^^

While we can say for certain that the crew members will get upgrades, i have my doubt about the parts with luffy going to amazon lilly and becoming a woman :p

So here's my speculation:
As is see it, luffy and jimbei, who are currently on Trafalgar's sub will go to merman island where they will hide out till Luffy has recovered.
The question i'm asking myself is why trafalgar showed up to save luffy? Now as we know, the other super novas were present on Sabaody island watching the execution, http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/565/03/ Urouge says "let's go", Bege is seen walking off etc. i'm asking myself if there is anything more to that.

If Trafalgar goes to aid Luffy, why wouldn't there be the possibility that those other super novas are going to get the rest of the strawhat crew? There are 8 supernova captains, so leaving 7, without trafalgar, to pick up 8 of the remaining strawhat crew. It could be possible...
Of course you can say there's no reason for it, but again why did Trafalgar help Luffy??

Other possibilities is that each of the strawhats makes their way back to Sabaody, meet/wait at Rayleighs place and then take the coated sunny to merman island.

Then again it's Oda, so i doubt any of the things we predict will come true :D

On the subject of the new crewmate: i'm hoping for Perona :D

^why trafalgar ?

1 - he's a doctor.
2- he has a fucking submarine xD
3- he doesnt seem like a bad guy.. i mean like villains... ( like Kid, or that Mafia dude.. or any other)
4 - cause he's cool xD

so probably they with strawhat will remain friends after that tho...

so probably they with strawhat will remain friends after that tho...
who knows..

Those reasons are nice and dandy but there's still the glaring hole in Law's motivation to save Luffy's life. Perhaps Luffy has gained his respect when they were acquainted in Sabaody Archipelago but Law going at the risk of his own hide to jump in a giant shitstorm in Marineford is just absurd. Oda didn't construct his character to indicate that he would do such a thing.

1 - i still believe Jimbee (EX-Shicibukai ) will Join Nakama on Luffy, coz he already promises to take care the last thing that protected by Ace & Shirohige.
2 - Maybe Perona will join..coz seen on Zoro.

Skipped time?...maybe luffy learn haki..and other get upgrade..after rejoining together.
but its maybe..
And i believe when skipped time happen ..on the new world will 3 new yonkou successor that is law, Kid , and Luffy.

But still cannot tell what on Oda mind ...skipped time too? ..who can predict the last war of shirohige ended like that. Oda is truly genius creator ..i am follow one piece from 1997 until now ...the story is half on Finding One piece or we can say Straw Hat Pirate still at the line on Half of the world.

I agree. I remember reading somewhere or wayhing an interview with Oda and him saying that he wishes he was 90% done when really he's only halfway. I'm on my iPod and won't get into details (might do that later) but I think a 2 year time skip seems reasonable. Luffy could easiy be out for months, could take who knows how long for everyone to get back, if they do get back. Who says a timeskip has to move the story foreward? Luffy could go into hiding around Shabody while waiting for his crew and instead of wasting time on little details Oda could just skip ahead to when luffys crew starts arriving.

What about this scenario

luffy stays in the coma and boa handcock takes him back to her island for him to heal.
the crew meanwhiles gather up with reyilgh who has sorted out the boat, he explains to them what happened with ace and the war and they decide to go look for luffy.

3 years later

luffy who has woken up from his coma has amnesia and boa handcock who does not want luffy to leave ends up not informing him about his past. he stays with them and trains.

the crew after a long journey of searching come across law who tells them where luffy is. they find him, explain to him whats happened nd about his life, a tearful moment and he sets off with the crew.

however before they can go to the new world, luffy has some unfinished buisness with impel down. he goes back there and fights it out with magalan, which he beats up, then he goes to level 4 and gets bon clay out who becomes the new straw hat member.

give me any thoughts you have on this

Ok, I'll throw in my thoughts, even though I've only watched the anime as I'm waiting for the carry case of manga to be released in Australia so I can buy 20+ volumes at once.

First: The time skip. Let's face it, it's going to be a long one. First, there's Luffy's life expectancy being shortened by 10 years, his now explosive hormone mix, his huge physical and mental (due to Ace's death) injuries and the fact that he doesn't know where his crew is. Add to this the fact that Robin and another person (can't remember who) aren't in the Grand Line and have a long way to go to get back to the crew, that Zoro needs a LONG time to heal up and Perona will just scare him into staying still until he's completely better, and Franky doesn't really have any motivation to go back to the crew now that he's running on Darjeeling, it's gonna take a while to get everyone back together.

Second: Where everyone will be for this time skip. 1. Luffy will probably go back to Amazon Lily, help protect them from the wrathful Marine's, cos let's face it, Hancock is gonna lose her Shichibukai status, and maybe Luffy will get turned into a woman for the resting period so as to avoid any further repercussions to the island (and let's face it, that would be hilarious, both for the lol's of a female luffy, and the fun of seeing everyone's reactions when they see him, I say he wouldn't be changed back before he meets the others because...) 2. Sanji will be rescued by Ivan. Ivan will transform Luffy and say that he'll be back soon after he takes all the New Kama back to Pink Island, and when he finds out that Sanji is a member of Luffy's crew, he'll take him to Amazon Lily. And let's face it, Sanji's reaction to an island of women would be priceless, but what about his reaction to Luffy being a woman and not knowing it at first? And what about the fact that Luffy has seduced the most beautiful woman in the world? It would be extremely funny imo. 3. Zoro will be forced to rest. 4. Chopper will get those big birds to give him a lift once he manages to stop those guys from trying to eat him. 5. Brook will help those black magic guys (after being granted the sight of panties (I loved that, I laughed so hard XD)), which will also give him more fighting experience and make him stronger and then get them to give him a lift to the Saobondy Archipelago. 6. Franky will become a member of the community on Mecha island until one day he finds Vegapunks old lab, will probably find cola and become his normal old self, then realise the wealth of weapons knowledge in the place, and spend a little while upgrading himself. 7. Nami will learn more about the weather, be granted all sorts of upgrades to the Clima Tact, and then take a while but eventually figure out how to get down off the Sky Island. 8. Robin will be freed but will go back to free the slaves and 9. Usopp will fight for his life alongside Hercules until he can find a way off the island, and hopefully will learn how to be a shooter fighting alongside and in a melee brawl.

Third: The new crew member. I'm going with there being three or more new members. Perona is my first guess because as she takes care of Zoro, she'll learn more about the Straw Hats and eventually decide that they're gonna be more fun to be with and treat her better than Moria did. Plus she'll either fall for Zoro or (my guess) Usopp, cos Oda seems like the guy to like pairing people up. Boa Hancock is my second guess because she's in love with Luffy, which will only be cemented if he rests and recuperates on Amazon Lily (although that blonde chick might worm her way in there) and if she loses her Shichibukai status, travelling with the future pirate king might do the same thing for Amazon Lily that Whitebeards protection did for Merman Island. Plus she'll give control back over to the old lady. The third guess for me is Buggy. Now I know what you're thinking, 'if there's gonna be a male old enemy, shouldn't it be Mr. 2?' No, I don't think so. As much as I did think so, then I remembered that Bon-chan will probably go to New Kama land, and Buggy no longer has a crew, no longer wants revenge on Luffy and is one of Luffy's oldest enemies.

That's all I got. I'd say the time skip would be 2, maybe 3 years.


wow.....i agree with all your points :)

edit: where does everyone find these interviews?

well it could depend on the amount of years it skips
2 or 3 years is enough for luffy and his crew to change but it will just be pretty weird and getting something to get use too

Well i don't think the strawhat crew will meet up again so soon, cause they news is out that Luffy is dead. And for strawhat crew well as long i can see they seem to be on other side of the world. Meeting each other is hard though, except if they have the paper that shows the way to each other. For luffy himself he is 95% death. when he wakes up he will be a bit mature i guess.

I've been reading what you guys having been writing so here's my 2 cents on One Piece.

1. Time Skip. It's fine for recovery of injuries but bad if it's for more than a month. The whole purpose I read and watch OP is because I love watching them go on their journey and IMO Luffy isn't the kind of person to wait on one island, he would always push forward no matter how hard the times are. Besides the people who are important to him are Ace, Shanks and his nakama. Seeing Ace is dead and Shanks will be waiting at the pirate summit, his nakama are the people he would want to see asap.
Yes, he will have changed after the death of Ace but not in a "I'm going to have to grow up! And stop having fun!" kind of way. More like after he fought Aokige when he realised he had to get stronger to protect those dear to him, so in this case he will take the next step to get stronger so that someone close to him won't ever die and to get revenge on the people who killed Ace.
Plus Shanks is strong and mature but still has his fun side as well so Luffy would be like that. And if he ever changes I would like it if he grows a little taller so he can match Hancock's height cause him being shorter than her doesn't feel right.

2. New Nakama. Personally their will be two types of nakama. One is a permanent member of the SH's who will continue with Luffy to get OP and the other is the short stay nakama who will help or need help from Luffy and then leave the crew on friendly term.
The past enemy girl who would join would probably be Perona because Alvida has her own crew... Buggy's!, Tashigi will go wherever Smoker goes unless she finds out something terrible about the Marines and World Government. Now Perona would join SH's till she finds and opportunity to find Moria who she thinks is still alive or she will stay with SH's because Moria's is dead till she finds a stronger crew to be apart of or fall in love with the SH's. Could be either. BUT she can only join with Luffy's permission and anyway Oda chooses permanent nakama who have room for growth and Perona is a good candidate unlike Princess Vivi who wouldn't grow strong fast.
Bon Clay would join because of the huge bond between him and Luffy. I like Perona to stay permanently and I don't think she's like Nami at all.
Boa Hancock has love sickness so she might join or might not depending on how she feels or Oda feels.( BTW I wouldn't think her Schibukai status would be revoked considering she agreed to fight for the Marines and kept up the disguise of wanting to kill Luffy in front of everybody and no one knows about her love for Luffy)
Jimbei would be temporarily joining to help Luffy to get stronger and show him to Fishmen Island where he will stay to protect it.
Crocodile and Das Bones could either do their own thing together, try find Pluton again or help Luffy at a later time.
Luffy tends to add new nakama from islands that have big story arcs so he might add at fishmen Island. Personally I'd like a Merwoman ninja who's a haki user, maybe the daughter of Jimbei.
And finally he has the support of the whole of the Whitebeard pirates with possibilities of a couple of them joining his crew and as back up for future fights. Plus he's friends with Shanks and soon to be friends with Big Mama. So he'll be fine in the New World.
Most nakama of the Straw Hats are ones who have potential to grow and be powerful for the future, not already powerful because then the journey would become easy and finding One Piece a piece of cake.


3. Luffy's fight with Blackbeard will be the final fight at Raftel. He probably won't see him for a long time and have a couple of times where he nearly catches up to him but misses or have a defeat by him but nothing too major until his last fight.

4. Will Of D is probably the ancestors of the void century who are probably from Raftel, and people who have the D are ones with great strength and Haki.

5. The Strawhat crew whilst Luffy has been at Impel Down and Marineford were most likely trying their best to get back to Luffy and Sunny Go asap. So the likely hood of them meeting now is high plus the flying fish riders who have been looking after the ship with the help of Rayleigh, Hachi and Camie the mermaid could go find the crew using the Sunny Go and vivrecard. And anyway all the SH's are only 3 days journey way from the Archiepalgo islands so I think they would meet pretty soon.

What I'm sure of is Oda can be seen as really unpredictable but he has planned everything out and made sure that everything works so I'm not to worried but I do love guessing what he will do next.

that's my 2 cents.
