I love how Zoro always 'disregards' Luffy's power.

[blindSharingan]

I think he just expects alot out of him. So he's never really surprised by his strength or potential.

[Tajin]

Yeah, that's what I mean.

[orson]

Ya I've always loved the back and forth between Zoro and Luffy. I kinda wish they ran into another reason to fight each again like they did when they first hit the red line/bounty hunter town. That's still one of the most epic fights ever even though it was so short.

That line was also telling us how powerful Zoro is now. If he wasnt impressed by that, it probably means he could do nearly as much.

[Correction]

Zoro has held himself to an ever-growing standard of power since the death of Kuina and has tied his loyalty to Luffy around it since his loss to Mihawk. That's just Zoro bein' Zoro dawgs.

Yep. Zoro is the hardest worker of the crew as well. He's the only one seen actively training at any normal interval, aside from Usopp occasionally making new gadgets (which is tied to his strength, but not quite the same).

And this is also why he's stronger than Sanji.

I'll never get tired of these.

Who's that on back with Luffy? I'd say Boa.. but it doesn't look like her? I guess? can't tell. Also, I love OP's universe and it's use of tits. <3

I'm pretty sure that's Robin...

[Correction]

That's definitely Robin. I just love the illustration for how much gets packed in there without getting sloppy, like the old cartoon doodles in MAD Magazine (Sergio Aragones, Don Martin). Oda is such a skilled cartoonist.

That thing i find so interesting is that many people (mostly from the bleach thread) criticize the art style of One Piece thus the reason why they don't read it.

[Correction]

The early shit is pretty raw but there's no denying his skillful draftsmanship and carefree character designs. I like that I can tell characters apart no matter what angle they're drawn from or how closely he zooms in on their faces. This is not something I can claim is true of any other WSJ manga.

That is one of the things that make me rage hard. People will read Bleach but won't even give One Piece a try. One Piece is so unique and just blows me away by how amazing it is. The only other manga I have read that amazed me like One Piece has is Berserk.

Edit: I've been reading Toriko and it kind of reminds me of One Piece, I'm liking it so far.

[Haiko]

Heh I really need to start reading that one next...Fairy Tail also has some similar artwork and that manga is pretty good as well.

[Not Kuno]

please please please please please someone make a gif from the newest OP episode (508)

There is a part where Franky is drinking tea then does a table flip. It was so hilarious it needs to exist in gif form.

[Apelila]

As much as I'd like to see a massive fight, I just wanna see luffy beat the hell out of this guy. Any 'just as planned' from Hodi is going to come off as an Aizenesque (*) writing, and I'd hate for that at this point. There is so much momentum from the last arc, and the setup for the plot for this arc has dragged that down s much I'd really, REALLY hate to have a 'not this shit again' moment.

(*)Is it to early to use this? I know it's general poor villian writing, and not limited to Aizen but it was done so much and for so long it encapsulates the general jyst of that a little to well.

[Not Kuno]

Don't know who Aizen is but Hodi is getting a fucking beat down. Anyone expecting anything otherwise is delusional.

I hate you. /jealous

[Not Kuno]

I hate you. /jealous

What? D:

[Zeb]

What? D:

Because you don't know that Aizen was a shitty "just as planned" villian for a very large part of Bleach.
