Kaku should be the new crew member

No need for another long-nose.

Anyway, uh, so I'm going back over earlier volumes of One Piece again, and I'm appreciating more than I did the first time around. I might even decide to shell out money for Viz considering that they have yet to edit the manga and their translations seem pretty decent (the Marine ---> Navy thing aside).

As for the next arc...

... I wonder what Oda's going to give us this time. Sky Peia was and still is my favorite arc and while I like the Water 7 world as well as the crew essentially giving the finger to the world government, they just didn't appeal to me as much as that one did in spite of it not having much impact on the rest of the story.

I see the next arc being another lighthearted short adventure ala Davy Back Fight before getting into the next big one, which could possibly involve the Merman Island.

If that's the case, then we can expect a fair amount of focus to go on...

... Jimbei on the account that he is the only Fish-man to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Certainly would look forward to that.

Yeah. I liked the World Government Saga and all, but I want to see more involvment in the story from the Warlords, and more on what the hell is going on between Shanks and Whitebeard..

[raticatelover]

Yea it'll be great when Luffy and the others are fighting pirates or at least ex pirates again instead of the world government. The next arc will be very exciting.

[BattleFranky~40]

Are you kidding? The Straw Hats are now major enemies of the WG. They'll definatly send somebody after them.

The Next Chapter Is So Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
Cannot Spoil But On Arlong Park Forums The Spoilers Are Ftw! Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Judai-and-sho]

Ok people. In the most recent Chapter, Chapter 431, it appears that they reveal who Luffy's grandpa is. Now, it is not who you would expect, although their were a few clues, nobody really could have guessed this in a million years, but anyway, Luffy's grandpa is none other than

GARP!
 

[raticatelover]

Yeah That Is The Craziest Thing In The World!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That Means That Characters Can Come Back! Go Coby And Hempeloo! Also That Was The Craziest Twist Ever! Theres Other Things Good There Too, But It Seems Like They're Gonna Be There For A Little Bit.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. About this inevitable story arc...

[QUOTE]I think that Fish-man island will have something to do with that All Blue. I mean, if the All Blue is supposed to have every type of fish, then that must include fish-men.[/SPOIL]

[BattleFranky~40]

Garp is one smexy beast. I'm not surprised.


Plus, it seems as if Coby and Helmeppo have returned with new badass designs.

[Judai-and-sho]

Yes, indeed. But we should have guessed it a long time ago, he had all the signs that the Ds we know seem to have, falling asleep out of nowhere, loving food.

[raticatelover]

I give up. I'll just talk bout this chapter.    Spoiler:

Zoro's memory of the Loguetown owner's store was good closure for it. A ship made with the wood of Adam is good, Franky joining probably increased since it grew. Coby is so gonna look badass.
 

Wait how can I forget?    Spoiler:

Luffy can eat and sleep at the same time FTW!
 

EDIT:That should be good. Hahaha...yea

[BattleFranky~40]

Great job on those spoiler tags.

Also, Franky has pretty much said himself that he's going with them.

[Judai-and-sho]

Where did he say that? All I took was that he wanted them to ride on his ship? Sure he probably is going with them, but he hasnt said it yet.

[Blaziryu]

I totally forgot that Franky spend that 200 berries. At least he brought something that would be useful for the Straw Hat crew. And Luffy's gramps, that was very surprising.

Note that Garp looks exactly like Luffy's grandpa from the pilot chapter.
 

[Judai-and-sho]

Well, they do look alot alike.

[Kecleon Freak]

favorite chapter ever

Looks like this uber-arc will go on for a little longer. Franky must join though, he's currently surpassed Usopp as my second favorite character, with Luffy in first.

Garp's revelation was awesome, but I especially loved Iceburg's plan to turn Water 7 into a giant ship to solve the flood problem. It struck me as very Oda-like, and a nice tribute to the whole theme of ships that has been present in this uber-arc.
 

[raticatelover]

Something else...Usopp could choose to stay with the giants on Elbaf. That would be horrible choice for Oda and a complete waste of development, but this could be what Usopp needs. I personally want him to go with the SHs. Him being annoying and whining but watching him grow is way better than him not appearing for awhile then all of a sudden come back super bad*****.


Cannot wait for Coby Helmeppo full cameo. Bet they look just the same but with muscular bodies, and Coby got rid of glasses plus longer hair. Okay maybe they will look sort of different, but hopefully the point was taken across.

Any thoughts?

[BattleFranky~40]

From what we've seen, Usopp has already been forgiven, and is definatly going to return to the crew.

Also, I want Helmeppo to have the Hammer Hammer Fruit.

[MugenKeiji]

BattleFranky~40, you have been a great asset to this forum.

Scheist! Garp's been friggin' working Coby and Helmeppo to the bone, check out Helmeppo's cleft. I suppose that's what happens when you go from a shrimp into being a Marine prepared for the GRAND-FLIPPIN'-LINE!

Oda, you so crazeh!

Also, I want Helmeppo to have the Hammer Hammer Fruit.

Post.Wins.INTERNETS!

[Judai-and-sho]

Usopp going with the giants to Elbaf? I actually am for this idea somewhat, BUT only if we get 2 new crew members.

[/\One Piece/\]

I think it would be a good idea for usopp to go with the Giants to Elbaf, to become stronger of course then come back, and 2 crew members...idk that doesnt seem like something that would happen, but hey Oda is one sneaky man
EDIT: yes, Helmeppo should get hammer hammer fruit, that would be awesome, cant think of a DF that would fit coby though
