Nehszriah Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Alright then! [URL="http://mangastream.com/download/one_piece/577-69"]New chapter![/URL] *reads* o_o ...and guess what? [SPOILER]Fake spoilers weren't fake after all. Frig. Oda has some MAJOR EXPLAINING to do.[/SPOILER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spectacular Professor Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 [FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I'll accept it for now. At the very least it makes sense for such a powerful adversary to be able to surpass everyone else just for the hell of it. [spoiler]Teach has been weird all along, so whatever. It makes more sense than the magma>Fire thing.[/spoiler][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 [size=1][color=green]I never had an issue with [spoiler]Blackbeard absorbing powers. If he can stop people from using their powers by touching them then it's only natural that he should be able to absord them as well... But, wow, if Luffy have to fight him down the line, I don't see how he'll be able to beat him.[/spoiler] My issue is still with everyone just staring at Blackbeard do his work, knowing good and well they can prevent such things from happening from getgo, but nooooo, we gotta stare with our mouths hanging....[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotlung Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 /agree on the explaining [spoiler] Teach having 2 powers is insane!!!! They did say he was atypical (so in otherwords wierd) but that doesn't explain why.... I also had a scary thought about Geko Moria taking over Whitebread's corpse and him still being able to use the earthquake ability. [/spoiler] The main problem is we don't know that much about Devil Friut. Here is what I know: 1. You eat a devil fruit you can't swim 2. You eat a devil fruit and gain a power that falls into one of 3 major catagories: Paramician, Logian, or Zoan. (there could be more or fruit that fall into 2 of those group, The Phoinex guy is a good example) 3. Inanimate objects are able to eat Devil Fruits. Dr. Vega is the scienctist that figured out how to feed objects Devil Friuts. 4. You can't eat 2 Devil Fruits cause it will cause the "devils" to fight and destroy you. (This is a major point that has been explained to us in the past. Now needs redifined weather Blackbeard is going to die shortly due to having 2 devils or his Powers over come that or he is some messed up SoB and can just do it) 5. There can only be one of any given Devil Fruit If there is anything anyone can add to this that would be great. However there are a few things that have we have no idea about. 1 What happens to the devil fruit ability when someone dies? 2. Where is Devil Fruit grown? 3. Are the "Devils" beings or powers or just what r they in general? I've imagined that there is a Devil Fruit Island out there somewhere that the Devils return to... but that is strictly my imagination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People with Devil's Fruit abilities, I've come to believe, become the fruit themselves once the fruit is consumed and the powers gained. I personally believe that once a Fruit user dies, their body becomes like the seed and a plant grows out of their body and a new copy of that Fruit is created for a new generation to consume and the ability isn't lost to the ages. However, I also think that because of this, a Fruit user's body basically is like a copy of the Fruit itself. Let's say that someone with a Devil's Fruit power was in fisticuffs thanks to some seastone bull or a no-powers duel or what have you with someone who had no ability other than natural human limits. The normal person goes all Mike Tyson on the dude with the powers and, on accident, ends up eating part of the other guy. Now the dude that was once normal has whatever power the other dude had and the other guy is just this heavy rock in water with no powers to show for it... and one less ear... if that makes any sense. Well, that's what I use it in a fan fiction, anyways, 'cause I needed to recycle Smoker and Doflamingo's abilities without making it clear whether I killed them off or not. >>' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the plant grow where that person died? What would happen if someone with devil powers died in the sea from drowning?? where would the plant end up then? Another random thought just crossed my mind... With having your ship coated you can go to the bottom of the ocean wouldn't that be the perfect place for "Devil Fruit" island?

What would happen if someone with devil powers died in the sea from drowning?? where would the plant end up then?[/QUOTE] Basically, it would grow right where the dead individual kicked the bucket. The sea, however, likes to make use of the currents and make certain lost-at-sea Fruits disperse throughout the world/Grand Line/New World/whathaveyou... either that for Fishmen farm them. (Yes, I made that last one up on the spot.) Because, for example (spoilers for [URL="http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3580210/1/Inherited_Will_Destiny_of_the_Age"]my fan fiction[/URL], as if anyone really cares :D), [SPOILER]I have Smoker die at Shimoshiki and right where his corpse was kinda left for the weather to take care of, a little plant sprouted and Fullbody came along and omnomed this thing growing out of the middle of a bleached-out skeleton and there you have it.[/SPOILER] Actually, I should really update that friggin' thing, because that doesn't happen for another couple of chapters or so, but it illustrates my point. It's been a few weeks since I looked at it. Basically, it's the crapsack of One Piece turned even crapsackier because Kuina lived. ...and yes I just whored out my fan fiction. :D Trust me, it's not what you'd normally think when you hear "One Piece" and "fan fiction" paired together. *cough*badZoSanporn*cough* I wouldn't have suggested unless I thought there would be an inkling of possible interest. >>' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 [size=1][color=green]Spoilers for 578 [quote][spoiler]Sengoku gets involved. Sengoku vs BB pirates. Sengoku seems to press the BB pirates Akainu is persistent when it comes to Luffy. Iva,Inazuma,Jimbei try to protect him. At the end,,law shows up.There's more to it but await a proper translation.I suck at it[Croc is mentioned,,so is Buggy & Jimbei talks about Aokoji freezing the ice or something] [/spoiler][/quote] More accurate [quote][spoiler]- Sengoku fight BB crew and he manage to stop them by himsefl. - Akainu advances towards Luffy. Inazuma and Ivankov stay back to protect him while Jinbei grabs Luffy and dives in the water, but Aokiji freezes the sea. -That's when Crocodile launches Jinbei and Luffy into the air. -Crocodile: "I won't let the Marines do as they wish." - Buggy catches them in the sky. - That moment a ship rises from the middle of the sea and Trafalga Law steps out of it. "I'll take those guys into custody." [/spoiler][/quote] [spoiler]Trafalga Law.... sque....[/spoiler] Damnit, I'm a man. I don't squee... >_> [spoiler]It still kind of irritates me that Akainu and Aokiji are still after Luffy.[/spoiler] I mean don't these idiots see that they have a more dangerous guy to go after?[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehszriah Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 *gives in and reads spoilers* O__O Magus. Holy. Eff. These spoilers better be true, or there will be more than one of us squeeing. I don't even understand why that characters has such a huge estrogen brigade to begin with and those spoilers almost make me want to join in. Damn, it's hard being a fantard sometimes. >>' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 [size=1][color=green]I know what you mean. It's very rare for me to have fantard moments, and the times I do have them is when something actually shocks/wows me. [spoiler]Whitebeards arrival was wowing. Ace being Rogers son was shocking. Luffy being Dragons son was hilarious[/spoiler]. (had to throw that one in there) Yeah, nothing really shocks too much though. But for the most part, even though the forum I got that spoiler from always have spoilers that sounds wishy-washy, they usually come out to be confirmed. (I think they get there info from One Manga or something like that) Edit: Chapter being out now... I thought the chapter was fairly decent, or rather, I have nothing bad to say about the chapter ([spoiler]outside of the whole Akainu still chasing Luffy[/spoiler]), but it didn't necessarily wow me like I thought it would either. [spoiler]I thought Law's arrival would be bad$$$, but I guess after witnessing Whitebeards arrival, people are gonna have to make some really great appearances to actually give me that "bad###" pressence. (I expect Shanks and Dragon to give me that)[/spoiler] But yeah, for the most part nothing bad, but nothing great either. [/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehszriah Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Holy shizz... even with the spoilers, I could barely believe it. O_o' [SPOILER]Law at the end there kinda made me smile a little, being that there's been a whole bunch doctor-related things going on in my entertainment right now (Doctor Who, Dr. Watson of Sherlock Holmes, making "racist" cactus jokes with a friend of mine (long story)) and now we get this? That's a very... [I]sweet[/I] thing to do, for lack of a better word.[/SPOILER] I mean, come on. D: ...and yes, [SPOILER]Akainu still being all RAWRIMGONNAGETJ00[/SPOILER] is kinda annoying. >>' ...AND FLURGLDOUBLEPAGESPREADSSTOPALREADY B( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotlung Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I have this feeling that Law (as well as Kid) is going to end up in a similar relationship that Shanks and Whitebread had. Both major pirates that are able to accomplish amazing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 [size=1][color=green][spoiler]- Shanks halts Akainu's offensive with his blade, and picks up Luffy's straw hat - Shanks saysI have come to put end to this war.Was the one Akainu was attacking Coby? -Marine: It's Trafalgar Law!! A rookie from the North Blue!!! He's the co-perpetrator of Strawhat Luffy of the incident on Shabondy, and it seems he has come to rescue him on his submarine!! -Law: Hurry!! Get both of them aboard!! (too blurry to read the rest, it seems that marines are going to focus on capturing Luffy and defeating Blackbeard. Marines are coming out of the ground,there's a passageway there now, and Law's ship is being attacked by marine battleship)[/spoiler] [spoiler]- Blackbeard calls out Garp and Sengoku to fight him. - The Pacifistas have come over a crack in the plaza. - Smoker and Tashigi are helping injure Marines. Someone( Akainu?) tells them to leave them behind and focus on crushing the pirates. - Buggy throws Luffy and Jimbei at Law. Law orders his crew to submerge. - Kizaru arrive next to Law. Kizaru is distracted by Coby yelling. - Coby says he tired of this war. His fellow Marines are dying and need help. He says their objetive is complete the pirates have been push back and there no need to keep fighting. - Akainu doesn't like soldier who don't walk the path of justice like Coby. He attacks Coby only for his attack to be block by Shanks.[/spoiler] Yea.... [spoiler]If you can't tell, Shanks is my new favorite character.[/spoiler] I'm thinking about starting this series from the beginning, especially since I'm still willing to give the anime another chance (3rd chance, english version).[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehszriah Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Magus, if your ears did not hear a super-sonic-fan-squee... then I think I need to spaz a bit longer (got a range to about Toledo or so). Ever since before the whole [SPOILER]Yonkou revelation, Shanks[/SPOILER] has been one of my favorite characters. I usually break down my favorites into "overall" and "saga", so he's one of the overall ones. So... *breathes* DOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTDOWANTNAAAAOOOOOO Edit: [URL="http://mangahelpers.com/m/one-piece/chapters/579/"]Eff. Yes. Full raw.[/URL] It's a fuzzy raw... but it still confirms the antics from earlier. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magus Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 [size=1][color=green]Nehszriah, I probably did hear that squee and brushed it off because my ears have been playing a lot of tricks on me as of late. (I swear, I think I've been hearing a lot of conversations about breasts and food) Anyway, originally, Zoro, Ace, Mihawk, Robin and Smoker were my favorites, and then Ace just totally dominated the rest of the cast for me until the unfortunate events, and, well there hasn't really been anyone else to fill that role until I actually went back and read the first chapter (watched Luffy's flashback) and noticed [spoiler]Shanks[/spoiler] bad@$$ness. He's hardly been in it so I kind of forgot about him, but every time he's been in it he gives off that bad@$$, dominating pressence that I like in my characters.. [spoiler]Even more of a dominating pressence than Whitebeard[/spoiler]. I guess what utimately brought [spoiler]Shanks[/spoiler] up as the top favorite for me is that he's just very mellow. Don't take anything too serious, and he has his funny moments too (Much like Ace and Zoro, although Zoro's reactions are what makes him funny, otherwise he's a fairly serious guy. Don't get me wrong though, I like my serious types though, but Oda nailed [spoiler]Shanks[/spoiler] mellowness here)[/size][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nehszriah Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Then hold on while I set aside my pride and try again. *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* >8DD< Pretty much, your favorite list mirrors my overall one with the inclusion of [SPOILER]Shanks[/SPOILER], Wiper, Usopp and Paulie. I even have a little [URL="http://i404.photobucket.com/albums/pp128/Nehszriah/world%20content/100_3320.jpg"]Ace figurine/portrait/Idon'tknowwhyJapandoesthistome[/URL] that I had buried in my room under all the junk on my desk and I just found it and showed it off to Ace and yeah... I'm not quite sure why I like the characters I do, other than Paulie and his, eh, vocalness. XD One Piece is just so full of many different kinds of characters that it's hard to [I]not[/I] like a whole herd of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even characters like Usopp, Nami and Chopper (I'm not a fan of) bring that extra "pow" to the table. It's really hard for me to say that I hate a specific character in this series because the characterization in this series is handled nicely. (Perhaps too good) The only character that I can actually say I hate is Foxy and perhaps what's his name...

Nehszriah Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Bellamy. Foxy and Bellamy. I have to agree with you. Those guys are just plain jerks... and Akainu. It's like, hell, I like friggin' Eneru. I like the One Piece version of Eminem... and I hate the actual man himself. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN?! ODA MUST BE MAGIC. Edited now that I've read the new chapter and I don't want to double-post: [SPOILER]COBY HAS MANTRA COBY HAS MANTRA OMFG COBY HAS MANTRA[/SPOILER] YES YES YES YES YES YES [SPOILER]SHAAAAAAANKS[/SPOILER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 [size=1][color=green]I could've sworn I posted my initial thoughts about the chapter. Again, it's hard to some people seriously when they make faces that look crazy. (First Luffy, and now Coby) The chapter was pretty good, and I'm agreeing with Nehszriah again about Akainu. Dude is a freakin douche. I like douches (Byakuya and Aizen are like the kings of douchery) but Akainu just comes off as a straight up ##### and he pisses me off.
