To be fair, it was IIRC Luffy himself who said that G5 is his peak. But yes, it makes absolutely ZERO sense, logically or thematically, for Luffy to get another gear. What he will get are new Haki powers and further refinements to G5.

Exactly. It turns on full Toon Physics mode, and there are no limitations. No limitations = no creativity to get around said limitations. It is exactly the problem introduction of Haki caused, except Haki was kinda necessary to explain how a fist-only fighter like Garp could be a powerhouse in a...

This is possible, but if it happens, it won't be a new gear. 4 means "death" in Japanese. Gear 5 is thus something like "rebirth", "resurrection"... in keeping with Luffy being a Jesus-like figure. Remember, he unlocked Gear 5 by dying and then being revived by his fruit. Gear 5 is his...

Bloody hell, people. Roger here doesn't even have his moustache yet. How could he have even approached the peak of his power without it? This is like comparing Luffy from Arlong Park and concluding he's a fraud because he nearly died beating a minor pirate. Roger apparently knew enough to...

That was half a joke. As for not-half-a-joke part, again, we simply don't know what had happened there. What we do know however is that Garp had clashed equally with Kuzan, which is about what Whitebeard himself had managed. In fact, Garp vs Kuzan fight is almost an exact mirror of the...

It's Whitebeard. What did you expect?

Garp fought Offscreen Blackbeard Pirates and survived. That is frankly at least as impressive as what Whitebeard did at Marineford, even if it doesn't look that way.

Not to mention, author can be wrong about their own work, which can be dangerous if people choose to take author's word as a gospel. For example, many think that Federal Service in the Starship Troopers book is an al-encompassing civil service, when in the book it is clearly a military...

This. Those however are just tools. What exactly did Rocks do with these tools? Nothing of lasting importance, as far as can be seen so far.

Koby likes Luffy, yes. But he is aware that Luffy is a pirate and that they might have to clash in the future. Look at the panels posted here: I mean, Smoker ended up liking Luffy during Alabasta, but still decided to chase Luffy during the Punk Hazard arc.

I don't think Blackbeard takes Buggy seriously. But he certainly takes Buggy's crew seriously... with Mihawk and Sandman there, he'd be stupid not to.

No. Some sort of global alliance akin to NATO or UN is definitely a good system. World government however is inherently a bad system. It has to do with effectiveness and efficiency. More removed decision-makers are from the immediate issue, more likely they are to screw up even IF they...

So I am usually not really a person for shooters, but Mecha Break has actually become my new favorite online multiplayer game. For reference, I had played also Throne and Liberty, Strinova, EVE Online, World of Warships, World of Tanks, Guild Wars 2, Left 4 Dead, Counter Strike 1.6, Counter...

Eh, I never thought it isn't anything but a generic shonen. Though that may be because One Piece is what got me into manga and anime to begin with.

In.
