I enjoy non straw hat story telling, Oda's problem is that he doesn't know how to balance it with the main story and cast.
He's also deathly afraid of telling secrets as simple as someone's named attacks because he probably doesn't want to overshadow the main cast. It's the same tired formula...
I really don't mind, I don't read one piece for Luffy any more than I read Naruto for Naruto.
That being said the main Elbaf story has been pretty good so far, so I wouldn't mind getting back to it.
People seem to like Whitebeard but he's a snorefest, just flat out lazy. It sounds like a really boring crew to be on with him as captain. I can see why Blackbeard dipped. The least interesting yonko by a mile.
I can forgive a character for a lot of things but being boring is not one of them.
He's pretty much exactly what I thought he was character wise but I never expected him to split the sky so a slight bump on power scaling.
Dragon has a legitimate reason to hate him, Koby is too good for him and I hope he gets tortured by the Blackbeards.
Jinbei is number 1, the crew survived reserve mountain, knockup stream, fishman island and Garp without a helmsman. The idea that Jinbei is going to be turning the tables on this one is ridiculous.
I voted for Brook but when I think about it a musician in general is easy to replace, but Brook...
Didn't have a problem with it until Enies Lobby, then it became pathetic.
It was more important to him to stick to his principles than save a friend's life.
In all fairness he is not the only strawhat that does this. However, he is the only one that does it in relation to something so petty...
Most of the points I would give it are for it's cultural impact on the manga community.
So no matter what I rate it, even if it's a 10/10, at least 5 of those points would be because of the hype/excitement Oda created, iconic characters, merchandise, memories and even it's knock on impact in...
He's not important enough or strong enough to be a Luffy fight anymore. Luffy surpassed him after WCI. Akainu is a Sabo opponent and neither are strong enough to split the sky.
We all saw what Luffy did to Kizaru after pizzagate, why would Akainu be any different?
Opposite for me, this chapter officially put Garp off fraud watch. He split the sky, he had Roger's help but Rocks right now is powered up with Imu and Garp came through.
Garp is now officially the only Marine to ever approach Yonko level. Prime is probably somewhere between Roger and Rayleigh...
I know midhawk isn't top tier but from the title I would have said that would be the biggest bum, not Shanks.
We have someone who runs away from the navy and teams up with Luffy's rookie victims vs a guy who makes the navy, midhawk and blackbeard run away multiple times. He might not have...
If we're talking about Lanji fans the answer is always yes. Even when Lanji does something legitimately good, they still end up overrating it by making it out to be something bigger than what it was. Kizaru is a good example, they could have just been satisfied with Lanji stopped an admiral from...
Sure, you get access to more opportunities.
Would still likely betray them at some point, but as a celestial dragon you have access to the rarest devil fruits, infinite money and some of the best teachers of haki. All of this amounts to power that you can exploit for your own goals.
All I'd...
Oda is very back and forth with it, I was really glad when he showcased that Kid and Law's lucky victory over Big Mom did not make them yonko level by having them immediately get stomped out. But at the same time, Lucci being able to throw hands with Luffy was crazy.
I think the focus will be...
UK sucks man, why do I have to use a VPN just so I can view imgurs on here
To be honest I thought the rat king was a reference to the chinese zodiac, the rat comes out first on top. That's why you have all the other animals hanging around in the story.
Regeneration, power stealing/copying/nullifying and hypnosis are all the laziest shit in anime.
At least we don't have Sharingan in one piece with all 3, but Oda crossed the line the moment he had Blackbeard vs Ace. Accept it, it's already done.
