THE ONE PIECE - *smack!
Give me that!

Hello Candyboys! It's me Queen Ivankov the miracle worker! I'm here to work my miracles on all of you and make this thread the New-newkamaland! .

I'm not doing that at all!

Chorus: You got us again!

Now sit tight my forumer boys ( if you're not a boy I can fix that !) so I cannot tell you of one little Rubber boy and his quest for ADVENTURE!

I'VA CHANGED MY MIND

Chorus: You worked in a pun too!

-
( borrowed with some devil fruit alterations from Xenogear of Bore's Op)

What is One Piece?

One Piece is a manga written by a lunatic named Oda boy. He ate the Oda-Oda fruit and can write to a distance of no more than 250 Odaodas, which is still pretty impressive considering your average write can't handle more than 5 or 6. It's about:

Pirates -
Inspired by the death of Gold Roger piurates have taken to the sea in search of their dreams .
One Piece follows the Straw hat Pirates . A group of men and women intent on their dreams and adventure.

Monkey D. Luffy- Captian , Idiot, Rubberman. When the tough gets going he punches them. He's going to be the king of the Pirates

Rorona Zoro- A man who uses three swords. One goes in his mouth. He is destined to get lost where ever he goes. Second Mate and on track to be the greatest Swordsman in the world which is coincidentally his dream

Nami- Master theif,Scrooge Mcduck, and Navigator of awesomeness. Her Dream is to map the world.
Events in her past make her stingy with money. This is all for the best since the Strawhats would be destitute without her.

Usopp- King of lies and commander of 1 billion men. Crack Sniper. His dream is to be a pirate and meet his father one the sea

Sanji- Lover of food. Wants to be lover of women. Any woman. Under 40 of course.
Master chef with the black leg of death. He wishes to see the All blue a sea containing every fish in the world.

Tony-Tony Chopper - A man-reindeer. He's a doctor and mascot of the crew. Also their emergency rations. His dream is to cure any illness. Chopper has the coolest Dad ever.

Nico Robin - She can sprout her body parts anywhere ( we don't know the exact limits but odds are she could make a double of herself if she wanted) and she's an archaeologist. She hates giant robots of coolness. Her dream is kind of spoileriffc. Rest assured it is a tear jerker.

Franky - SUPER ! Cola Powered Cyborg. Shipwright. Man we all aspire to be. His dream also ruins a cool moment so it won't be here.

Brook - Musician, Gentleman, Slash from U2. Brook is all of these things. He can hardly keep his talents straight in his brain. Oh he doesn't have a brain because he's a skeleton Yohoho!
Brooks Dream is to return to a special friend.



strawhatpirates.jpg

Marines - They uphold "Justice" because it's written on the back of their jackets. The cops to the pirates robbers. At least they look good doing it. Pretty even split between people just trying to uphold the peace (and get their ass kicked by pirates) and giant douche bags working for the giant assholes who run the World Government (and usually kick the pirates' ass)
sengoku.jpg




Dreams - People have them. If you're a bad guy, Luffy crushes your dream. It's a fate worse than death.
Eneru.jpg

Adventure - Pirates and adventure is like peanut butter and jelly.


The manga is released in the US by Viz. They do an okay job. Before this year started they were at the end of Alabasta, but now they are releasing six or seven volumes a month every month for the entire year. This should put them only about a year behind when 2011 comes around, not bad considering right now they are close to seven or eight years behind! Translation is inconsistent between volumes though. Primarily because they had multiple teams of translators working on each story arc. It's little things but it can be annoying . Also if you like the song Bink's Sake be aware of oncoming rage.



I Hear There is an Anime.

Sure is. A darn good one too. Without it you couldn't get [strike]horrible[/strike] awesome AMVs like this one:



Anyways, the anime is really good. Watch the new subtitled episode for free each week on Saturday at Nine PM Eastern at www.onepieceofficial.com They also have the first 100+ episodes up either subtitled or dubbed. The dub is really good if you're into that sort of thing.

Frequently Asked Questions:

(Submissions asked for and gladly accepted.)

Question: Is there a ninety second clip, easily available on youtube that perfectly describes what One Piece is all about?

Answer: Yes there is!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OrMqQP_oDk



Question:When do you think a person dies?

Answer:

When a bullet from a pistol pierces his heart? No.
When he's attacked by an incurable disease? No.
When he eats a soup of deadly poisonous mushrooms?

No!

chopperflag.png

A man dies when people forget him!

Question: Will the dreams of man ever die?

Answer:
Also a big no to this one!

Question: What happens if you get greedy and eat more than one Devil Fruit?

Answer:
YOU EXPLODE.

Does everything on Luffy Stretch? And I mean, everything.

Answer:
You betcha. Even his clothes. Also every other part of his personage, confirmed by the man himself in one of his earlier reader submitted Q&A sessions. These are included in every volume of OP and are sometimes better than the issues contained within, and the issues are usually really good.

Question:Where is Sniper Island?

Answer:
In your hearts!


So there you have it ! A wonderful guide into the world of an okama candy boys!

I'VE COMPLETELY CHANGED THE POINT!

Chorus: We never saw it coming!

    Hahaha great OP.

    New Chapter:
    I wonder if we're going to see how all of the crew trains to power up, or is it going to be a straight skip into how they're getting back to Sabondy?

    I really liked Nami's section of the new chapter. The moment she flashed back to was one of the more emotional moments in the series, and it's nice to see it referenced again.

    Alternate reality Sabo/Ace/Luffy team would have been awesome.

    Note Ace didn't have the crossed out S on his tattoo (which confirms it was a reference to Sabo).

    This thread was authorized to split off from the anime thread because this one series was taking up a good half, if not more, of the conversation in the anime thread.

    The anime thread, without this sort of discussion, became kinda filled and obsessed with shows that were pedo-tastic, and the admins killed it with fire. This thread, on the other hand, has never been an issue, so we continue to get to discuss One Piece.

    I was kind of worried Oda might be doing a redesign but I think he'll be going back to normal. The muscle will probably be implied .

    Yeah, it's nice to see them all after all the Luffy-centric arcs lately.

    I wonder if, after the time skip, everyone will meet up all at once, or if Luffy will have to find them again in the New World.

    Oh man, don't tell me that the only anime/manga thread on D&D is One Piece. That's really awesome because it's the only one I actually follow.

    BTW, shouldn't Franky's
    eyes be irritated by the exposure to the cold weather and not having eyelids?

    O, wait, they're probably robotic as well, even though they don't look like it.

    Franky's too SUPER to be bothered by such a trivial thing. On that note, do the notes he found on cell regeneration mean he'll grow his face back somehow? Dammit Oda I must know more!

    Nah, I think Oda will throw him a bone here and give him a luffy-muscle physique, a la swimmer's build.

    Re: Usopp
    So the possible routes for an Usopp upgrade are:
    Stats up - he bulks up to lean-muscled physique, but nothing to the level of the powerhouse 4.
    Technique up - new animal-based sniping technique?
    Ammo up - studying the plants give him more compounds to put in his Stars.
    Tech up - more unlikely than the others, the Kabuto doesn't seem to have a lot of room to improve anymore, at least not from the island Usopp's in that we've seen.

    I think it will be all of the above.
    -He'll get more endurance and most likely speed.
    -He'll probably learn how to make more accurate shots on the run and trick his opponents (a skill he has already but hasn't perfected)
    -Well we know he'll get the ammo Robin and Nami will help him maintain it.
    -The Kabuto will be upgraded to the Atlas. The Hercules was in thriller bark apparently.
