Oh god yeah, it was CHAOTIC! Oda was trying to make everyone catch hands, troll all the fandoms but hype some of the biggest ones too lmao.
Me,
@Rottkins,
@Pot Goblin ,
@Mr. Reloaded formed the Cross Guild FC on here after it happened in the manga and it, along with Rotties Discord server ended up blowing up in popularity and activity for quite a while at least! It was hilarious, wholesome chaos for the most part!
There were spoiler threads blowing up in rapid time, hundreds of pages so easily, constant back and forts, powerscalers losing their minds even more than usual, it was pure WG insanity amplified as you know and can imagine too naturally lmao.
We were discussing how you would have enough material to make maybe the same amount of chapters as OP actually has for fiends vs providers lmaoooo!
Not to mention the tirades of fake spoilers both in the past and consecutively in the present too!
The Mihawk memes about him being the world's most skilled man/strongest skill man/refusing to fight Zoro since he's a hakiman now etc were too fucking funny lol.
It's like that edit of the Shanks vs Mihawk fan chapter, where Mihawk tells Shanks to not use CoC, skills only lol.
Something like Fox Only, No Items, Final Destination, to quote the Smash Bros meme too lol.
