    General & Others Looking for in-depth analyses (themes, storytelling, structure, subtext, etc)

    If you haven't checked it out yet, I'd recommend you to take a look at Artur's Library of Ohara website. While a lot of the things he predicts don't live up to be true and some of his analysis are wrong, he's japanese and provides a lot of info from a japanese guy's perspective of each chapter...

    General & Others Retrospective : East Blue saga

    It was an alright saga (above average by post-skip standards 😅). It started slow and only really got me halfway through the Syrup Village Arc. Arlong Park is an absolute classic, it holds up as one of the best arcs in the series until now (it's usually the arc that hooks most readers into One...

    Powers & Abilities Worst Zoan hybrids transformations ?

    Dude seems to have been created by Oda to be a caterpillar, but if he gets to transform like Baron Tamago, it would be fun indeed. (30 years have passed and he still didn't transform though.)

    General & Others Oda Drew Imu On Kuzan's Glasses??

    Good catch. It really does seem like it... :kuzanshut:

    Powers & Abilities Worst Zoan hybrids transformations ?

    This guy has a quite disappointing DF and he was one of the initial WB Pirates. Must be one of the worst zoans ever (he turns into a caterpillar), even some SMILEs seem to be better. He already looks a bit like a caterpillar (not sure if it's his hybrid form) and seems to be quite joyful about...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    The thing is, en is one of Pitou's greatest strengths (maybe his best ability). If it didn't evolve in a few months, why would anything else? Terpsichora is a big powerup indeed. But outside of this, his base stats were the same IMO. They can train to become stronger/more skillful, but none...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    Pitou learned about the nen catogories and principles from Pokkle. Considering that he was a close-range fighter, it was more than enough to assume that he was already with a good strength, not that far behind his palace self. For example, his en was still 2 kilometers after at least a few...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    You must've skipped most of the CA arc. The chimera ants were biologically made with the DNA of the previous races they consumed, they have the DNA and sometimes the memories (not just of the previous life, but sometimes of the skills too) of past preys. That's why Pitou was able to do so much...

    Speculations Which Holy Knight will be summoned to Elbaf?

    If they mirror the Red Hair Pirates, they're mirroring the strawhats too (1 captain, 9 senior officers), although it's all speculation for now. Why would they mirror the RHP then? Because Shamrock is Shanks' brother.😁

    Speculations Which Holy Knight will be summoned to Elbaf?

    I'll leave it changeable for a time, go ahead.

    Speculations Which Holy Knight will be summoned to Elbaf?

    I don't rate her very high... she's probably one of the weakest Holy Knights IMO (at most, I see her in the middle of the pack). So she might be even weaker than Smoothie, depending on if there will be a power creep or not.

    Speculations Which Holy Knight will be summoned to Elbaf?

    In the latest chapter (#1138), Shamrock asked Gunko to summon another Holy Knight. Considering that Shamrock is the Luffy of the Holy Knights and Gunko is the Nami, which one will come now?

    General & Others Did Robin put 2 and 2 together?

    Robin likes to hold out on us readers. Outside of quick comments about Joy Boy and Pluton, she never talked throughly about any of poneglyps she've read, for example. Oda is probably saving these things for the last arc or something like that.

    General & Others When was the last time One Piece felt like a pirate story ?

    About the last moments, it was pretty close to where we are now: Shanks vs. Kid and BB vs. Law (Blackbeard's crew especially are the ones who look the most like pirates in the whole story). However, it's indeed increasingly rare to see such things in One Piece. If we take into consideration only...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    Yes, he was freshly born but you must take into consideration that Pitou was a genius with base stats much higher and nen pool much bigger than humans. He already awakened with nen and with a lot of knowledge that only full-fledged professionais would have (e.g.: neurosurgeon knowledge). In the...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    Besides the time he spends rotating his arm, I think that Phinks also has his nen pool as a limit. I don't think that he could rotate his arm 10 thousand times and generate a punch more powerful than an atomic bomb, for example... his aura must be the limit of his attack power (maybe he could...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    Phinks would too IMO. Ripper Cyclotron is a hell of a hatsu when you have time and opportunity. People are forgetting that Youpi had a lot of trouble against Morel, Knuckle, Shoot, Meleoron and Killua. Even if you consider Pitou the strongest RG, Youpi shouldn't be too far behind and Pitou will...

    Phantom Troupe vs Pitou (Multiple Rounds)

    The original PT you mean is the Yorkshin Troupe (Hisoka included)? If positive, then they should win all rounds. As overpowered as Pitou is, the PT has too many heavy hitters (Uvogin, Franklin, Phinks, Feitan, although the only ones capable of killing Pitou are probably Phinks and Feitan). Pitou...

    Character Discussion Gunko's Rank in HKs?

    Torture scaling also means nothing. We'll only see it if Gunko has an actual fight against a non-fodder (or when Oda comments about this). Plus, many characters could hold their own with base Luffy or even G2/G3 Luffy. The thing is, Ulti's powerful headbutt couldn't finish off Nami or Usopp...
