My assumption was that Shanks wasn't that strong yet at the time. Plus, he was focused on saving Luffy first, saving himself second (awwwww)

Nope. It's pretty clear that Shanks was even more of a legend before he lost his arm. i.e., Mihawk doesn't want to fight him now that he has one arm, implying that Mihawk would have fought him before that.

And it really shouldn't be that hard for a pirate of Shanks's caliber to rescue Luffy without putting himself in danger.

Halfway through saving Luffy, he was 'Man, this arm is getting in the way. Bet I could get by without it.'

NotYou

that sea king had haki.

Thetheroo

Shanks is so badass he wanted to give other pirates a fighting chance.

You're assuming guys like Mihawk were at their current level during that time period. I've always figured Shanks at that time was at Luffy's current level when he entered the Grandline. He could kill a Seaking but not save Luffy. So he sacrificed his arm for something he felt was more important.

White Beard says that everyone was surprised when Shanks came back without an armed, and had no idea what sort of enemy could have given him that wound. Even if Shanks wasn't at his current level back then, he should have been strong enough to handle a run of the mill sea king.

Incenjucar

Don't worry guys.

Franky will make him all better.

Well he did bet it on the new age

Whenever I see this thread my mind immediately fills in 'from Nantucket'.

Thanks a lot, XoB.

Yay, new One Piece thread.

And that AMV is the ONLY AMV one would ever need to watch, because all AMV's suck as a rule. Sail On is the one exception.

Ahem

Sogeking begs to differ

Well, yeah, and I'm on a Boat is pretty good too. But sail on is the best, and only the best belongs with the pirate rap.

I had never seen the Sogeking one before, and I agree, it is pretty good.

Xeno's OP reminded of something I saw on the new dub. I was watching the dub when Roger does his speech, but instead of saying, "I left everything in one piece" he says, "I left everthing in one place"

Anyone else hear it or am I just crazy?

It's possible. Might just be the New VA's accent or something.

00:14 in.

Yeah, I think he does say one place. I think it's because he never does say "One Piece" in the original Japanese version.

Xenogears of Bore

Look at chapter one of One Piece if you want the truth of it.

He originally says search the world and that place, hinting at Raftel.

However who wouldn't do the obvious thing in localization and throw out the title considering how well it fits.

Honestly, my favorite part of that page:

Spoiler:

Whitebeard's face. It's the closest we've seen to him going "oh shit."

Mind you, it's more a "this might be cause for concern," but still.

It's a drag, because the meta part of me thinks the WG is gonna win this one, but I'm rooting for Whitebeard.

Spoiler:

SentoMARU... that's a male suffix. Although that is a very androgynous haircut. He sounds like a girl in the anime because the VA is female, the same as Luffy's.

Edit: Nah, I'm wrong. I can't remember where I heard that.

Cokebotle

I don't watch the anime and have only read the manga to about halfway through Shabody. I don't actually know the name, to be honest.

Thetheroo

I'm pretty sure that's a guy. Doesn't the Funimation subs refer to him as "he?"

fmz65

Damn you manga readers... it is torture waiting for the videos to come out.

Slicer

Then just read the manga!

Thetheroo

Do both! I made the jump and I've never regretted it.

Sami

This fuels my speculative fire wrt

Spoiler:

Garp getting murdered in the FACE. What could stop an army of Pacifistas but a Luffy-Ace-and-maybe-Whitebizzle rage fest/

Also there is no way I'm ever going to stop referring to him as Whitebizzle.

I myself prefer the anime by a great margin yet I still keep up with the manga because sometimes you just can't wait for shit to become real.

New chapter is out.

Spoiler:

Mihawk is fantastic.


..and the setup at the end of the chapter seems to be bracing us for what's to come.

UrQuanLord88

Spoiler:

Sentomaru

's design seems to be heavily influenced by either:

1) Ne Zha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nezha_%28deity%29), a chinese deity often portrayed as a boy (with that diamond cloth underwear) in the epic saga Journey to the West

Spoiler:

2) Kintaro, the golden boy of Japanese folklore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kintar%C5%8D) who also wielded an axe/hatchet, beating bears with sumo wrestling (hence his association with Kuma)

Spoiler:

3) Momotaro, also of Japanese folklore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momotaro)

The more you know... http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sentoumaru

about new chapter

shit

real

etc etc

Spoiler:

Mihawk is so awesome. That one shot with him cutting the entire glacier in half was great.

Rust

ahaha who's the chucklehead who uploaded the onemanga scanlation

guy can't even spell right

Johnny Chopsocky

I listened to this while I read the latest chapter.

It was almost TOO fucking epic an experience.

Every week, I wonder how they could possibly make shit any more real, and yet every issue it just gets REALER.

Jragghen

Oh shit, guys!

Spoiler:

Mihawk has the Rinnegan!

Spoiler:

Please don't hurt me

And now for what the next week's argument will be over:

Spoiler:

Luffy's seeing his arms cut then not doing so - haki or not?

Spoiler:

Well, it's been established in the Boa Sisters fight that Haki mastery may give the user the ability to "read" moves and outcomes.

Whether or not that this is supposed to imply that, is way too early to tell. Count it as Luffy continuing to progress, for now.

Thetheroo

We have been speculating when Haki will finally show up for so many chapters now. Oda drawing it out is a goddamn genius move, it builds so much tension in the reader.
