Hmm... Something like that is a little difficult to determine.

But I also thought that the One Piece plot was pretty mediocre until the end of the Sky Piea arc. It was really impressive how the manga-ka managed to pull everything together. It was really touching. Then Water 7 nailed it. It had everything. It had tension with the nakama, it had betrayal, it had dramatic rescues, and death, and love and... And then right into the action with Whitebeard and Ace. Yes, I believe that Oda really matured as a storyteller from that point on.

But before that, the plot didn't feel very special to me. They were plots and there was a story, but it didn't wow me and make me CARE. Yanno?

Antagonist 04-10-2012 07:26 AM

It might've been because the Strawhats were still 'gathering crew members' before then, so it was more scattered and more individually focused or something? :O

Though yeah, some of the arcs were more interesting than the others. Fishman Island wasn't that interesting for me, I was mostly being busy being annoyed at Sanji's constant near-death situation due to excessive blood spurting out of his nostrils.

Dystopia 04-10-2012 10:48 AM

Not sure. I just feel like those arcs had a better story. They felt a little... more? You know what I mean?

Yeah. But the twist with Princess Shirahoshi and Poseidon was quite interesting.

Antagonist 04-12-2012 02:26 AM

Yeah. :XD I've decided to start re-reading the entire One Piece manga from the first chapter the other day to see how the series've evolved...it's slow going. Too many chapters. :gonk:

...And the new chapter raised more questions than it answered. :headdesk: So curious as to just how and why Law and this Clown guy got together. Though it might've had something to do with that semi-flashback Law had when his crew was mentioned.

Dystopia 04-12-2012 06:56 PM

NEW CHAPTER.

All I have to say is... Sanji will be Sanji. >>;

Antagonist 04-13-2012 02:20 AM

lmao...:XD
It's funny how different their expressions can look when inhabited by another person's personality. :P

Dystopia 04-13-2012 09:31 AM

Indeed.

I really wanna know what's up with Law tho. I like him. I don't want him to die. 8(

Antagonist 04-13-2012 09:53 AM

Totally. Law's my favorite One Piece character, I'd probably go kill something if he dies. I'm tired of having just about all my favorite characters always ending up dying in just about every single series. >8(

Dystopia 04-13-2012 09:30 PM

Well... Luffy treats him in such a friendly way. So I don't think he's going to die. Law will probably convert to being a good guy from Luffy's insistence or something. XD

Antagonist 04-14-2012 03:24 AM

lmfao Haha, I don't think so, since he's after the One Piece as well...maybe he'd be one of the more 'friendly competition'? That'd be nice. :) Gotta say Luffy's attitude is infectious, with all his broad grins and jolliness~

Dystopia 04-14-2012 10:47 AM

xDD Hey. If he can befriend the marines, he's good to go.

Antagonist 04-14-2012 02:41 PM

True....xDD;;

Guess we'll just have to see and wait for the future chapters. >_<;; *twitches with impatience and anticipation for them*

Dystopia 04-18-2012 11:38 AM

Helmeppo ended up not that bad looking. Speaking of marines.

Antagonist 04-18-2012 01:25 PM

Yeah. I didn't like him at first, but he's matured a lot and I like how he changed over the years. :)

Dystopia 04-18-2012 08:51 PM

Indeed. Once he got rid of his daddy issues and grew a backbone, he's a little more interesting!

Antagonist 04-19-2012 12:02 AM

Yeah, I like how he and the other glasses guy (forgot his name...) got along well with each other too, despite their initial differences and all. Should get even more interesting now that the glasses guy is learning/has learned how to use his Haki~

Dystopia 04-19-2012 09:44 PM

I think his name was Coby? He grew up pretty well, too. A little more confidence! And the haki surely must have helped. :O

Antagonist 04-20-2012 02:26 AM

Oh! Right, Coby. XD

Hm, at least we finally saw what the mystery Clown looks like in the new chapter. He's looking a lot different from what I'd pictured him to look like, and at least we finally know where and how all those weird hybrids came from. o _o

Dystopia 04-20-2012 03:02 AM

o.o Indeed. But its sad they all think he's a great guy. When in reality he's really not. @[email protected];;

I think he looks really cool tho. Interesting Devil Fruit power, too. I wonder how Luffy's gonna face up to it? Because we both know they're gonna fight. Or... Hey, do you think maybe he and Law might have a falling out...? Maybe?

Antagonist 04-20-2012 04:12 AM

Yeah, far from it...

It would be awesome if Luffy and Law somehow manage to team up. Though I'm still wondering why Law's there in the first place...I'm guessing it might have something to do with his crew, since so far they've been absent. :?

And the gas gas fruit...oh man, would be interesting if Smoker joins up in the fight too, gas vs smoke...:XD

Dystopia 04-20-2012 08:06 AM

... I kind of wish Luffy still needed a doctor. Because having Law join Luffy's crew would be so amazing. Because I would get to see more of Law and that would make me so incredibly happy... We can have two doctors, right? >> /sob

Oh shit. I would love to see Clown vs Smoker. Esp Smoker in Captain's body. XD

Antagonist 04-20-2012 09:32 AM

I'd love for that to happen! Even if I doubt it would. :c *wants to see more Law too *was sad that there hadn't been any Law appearance in the latest chapter except where they mentioned him in passing**

lol! I don't think the ability would transfer over with their minds, so I guess that would be Captain would be stuck with being smoky while Smoker is stuck with a katana...? o__O;;

Dystopia 04-20-2012 09:13 PM

Yeah. I really like his power. And he's fucking good looking. >> /ispunched.

o.o I have no idea... Haha. So would Smoker in Captain's body suddenly be awesome with swords?

Antagonist 04-21-2012 02:19 AM

xDDDDD Hahaha, I like his looks too. Fav character and all. :P

I somehow doubt it...xD
I think that was one of the reasons why Law switched their minds/bodies, to hinder them.

Antagonist 04-28-2012 09:25 AM

Arrgh! Damn it, again a chapter that raised more questions than answers! :gonk:

...At least there were a couple of pages with Law in it. :ninja:
