I'd give Nami Observation Haki, not because it would make her vastly stronger, but because it only makes sense she would have it lore-wise. A professional thief who was stealing from people stronger than her for eight years and surviving, of course she would develop Observation Haki even if she...

Oh yes, the bane of the New World – Kid the Garbage Hoarder, master of ramming big piles of trash into targets that don't dodge.

Isn't it a bit weird that Wapol got filthy rich in a short amount of time after stumbling his way into creating Wapometal toys? Huge profits imply him shipping huge amounts of Wapometal to someone. And who could realistically pay you the "buy yourself a kingdom" kind of money other than the...

What are you talking about? My point is: Zoro didn't finish his opponent purely for the sake of aura farming, and it would have killed them all if plot convenience didn't make Caesar kill "Smoker" at that very moment.

No, the scene that ruined Zoro is this one: It turns Zoro from a cool character into an edgelord who does dumb things under the guise of being cool and suffers zero consequences.

Tashigi's goal to take all named swords away from the evildoers. Unless Zoro decides to help her (read: do it for her) after he's done with his own goal, she is not taking any swords from anyone worth mentioning. She could have been for Zoro what Koby is for Luffy. Instead, she is just a...

Now think about it. If you were a powerful combatant, would you willingly bend your knee before someone like Orochi? Kaido does have the presence to lead strong people and the power to enforce hierarchy. Orochi is genuinely pathetic, and only remained in power because Kaido found him useful. If...

I know it's probably never going to happen, but a strategy game where you manage an island in One Piece world would be really cool. Balancing your relationship with World Government and Four Emperors, having dealings with Warlords, Morgans and the underworld, obtaining Devil Fruits for your top...

Imu's "pitch" to Brogy when he was hit with Domi Reversi was that he would receive enormous strength, but in exchange give up his humanity. Could it be that Zoro and the Giants broke the contract by making Imu fail to satisfy his side of the deal with the strength received being insufficient...

When the protagonists themselves begin to wonder why the opponents are so uncharacteristically weak, you know something is going to humble them very soon. I think there's something about the Holy Knights we still don't know, and the Straw Hats are not going to like this "something".

It is so sad to see Robin fully embrace the role of damsel in distress. "Do something to save things valuable to me, Nami and Zeus!" "Carry me around, gravely wounded Saul!" And all of this after she spent the better part of Egghead arc incapacitated due to off screen injuries. Oda, just let...

Carmel created Pandora by giving life to a raging wildfire, right? But where did she get the life to give? Knowing her, she wouldn't sacrifice years of her own life to save someone. Now what if Pandora was created using the vitality of crops and farm animals of Elbaph? It was clear that they...

In Skypiea, there was a moment where Enel counted Luffy and Nami as being "out of the competition" despite them being completely fine. In other words, his Haki couldn't detect them anymore once they were eaten by Nola. So, it would be fair to assume that the signature of another living being...

These abbreviations are getting out of hand. For a second there I thought "Did I miss Dorry get his medical license?"

Now, where's my favourite tin foil hat? Ah, here it is! When discussing the ridiculously miraculous survival of Pell in Alabasta arc, people often tend to forget that there was one before that, not as implausible but arguably much more significant. And perhaps that is exactly what was intended...
