Oda-sensei is really awesome like that. I hated Crocodile too at first, but now I just can't wait to see him in action again. Buggy too. Thought he was a bastard and now look at all the hilarity he's caused.

I kind of wonder...what will happen to those Impel Down inmates now that they're out? Like Mr.1, Crocodile, Jimbei...all of them after they get out of the Marine headquarters?

Yeah they did that in Shounen Jump, its so dumb and I feel horrible for people who followed it that way. I mean they were way far behind but now they also have to deal with trying to catch up and not really know what's going on in Impel Down.

I really want to see more of what's going on with the Strawhats on their islands too! The anime covered more than the manga did so far, I'm really hoping they make a couple of more episodes for them again. I miss Franky so muuccch. It's ridiculous. His episode also turned out totally different than what his cover story was. Well at least the ending was different.

I wonder what's going to happen to them too! Will they get captured and sent back to Impel Down or go on amazing adventures that we might be able to see or what?!

Aw, I wish Oda can find time some time to draw their adventures <3
I still wonder how they're going to get together...I think Luffy has the vivre paper from the big woman back on the shichibukai's island? (can't remember his name at the moment XD) Did the others get the paper too? I forgot, it's been quite a few chapters since it happened >_< If so then maybe they'll all end up meeting at the woman's mom's place.

And I certainly hope it's the latter for the inmates, it would be more fun that way. XD

I thought they were all given vivre cards from Rayleigh to meet back up once he was done coating their ship? That's most likely where they are gonna meet up again. I really really hope they do it soon!

Yeah, I would love to see what happens to Buggy, Crocodile, and everyone else after the battle!

I'm still really up set about Ace being killed of Dx *flails* I'm not sure I'll be able to read the manga after this point of Ace getting killed. He was one of my favorite characters. T^T

@Weech: Oh! Right. I forgot about that. :sweat:

@YaoiButterfly: He was my favorite character from One Piece. If anyone asked, I would've answered with out a moment's hesitation that Ace is my favorite character out of the entire series, so it was quite a blow to me when he died. :cry: I was so looking forward to seeing him again after he and Luffy separated after the Smoke thing place (forgot the name of the place they stopped at and the cigar-smoking dude's name), but Impel Down and what happened after that wasn't quite what I had been hoping for.

Ace was one of my favorite characters too so I was so sad at what happened. You can ask Krokodil how after each week when they were still in Impel Down, I was like HE BETTER NOT DIE OR I'MMA FIGHT. He still did though D; and so did another one of my new favorite characters.

@Fading Existence: I think you are talking about Smoker and the Arabasta Arc. I was also really looking forward to seeing more of Ace after that, specially since they added in a filler with him in the Anime.

The newest chapter is out for me since I follow Mangastream and I HATE BLACKBEARD EVEN MORE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HURRY UP AND KILL HIM STAT. He is pulling too many TRICKS that I don't like.

Exactly my thoughts during Impel Down. I totally wasn't expecting him to lose to Blackbeard! My hate went pretty deep for the teeth-missing bulk of *censored* after all this. And Darkness was totally my favorite element too, why did he of all had to get it D: (I'm biased, I know...scary things happen when one's favorite character gets killed...^^;)

Yeah, that was it, the Arabasta Arc > <
I never watch the anime, so I'm not sure what the filler was, but in the manga there was a picture at the front of every chapter's cover that had a mini story in it, with Ace delivering a letter and infiltrating the Marines.

*dashes off to check Onemanga*

...

.....I want to rip his throat out and smash that smug face of his in.

I hate how Blackbeard has SUCH A RADICAL POWER HE DOESN'T DESERVE. Specially how he got it too, that was so rude to kill one of his crew mates. What a loser.

I remember that cover story, it was so cute! The filler in the Anime was he traveled with the Strawhats, got LOST at one point, and then there was some old guy who wanted to capture Ace for the money. It turned out really sappy and cute.

OMG I KNOW RITE!? I couldn't BELIEVE he did that! And what he said just makes me want to rip his face off.

*nods* Yep, something tells me that Blackbeard is gonna be the new villain for quite a while after this.

:cry: I still can't believe Ace died. And now Whitebeard, too. Ace was one of my favorites and I was really starting to like Whitebeard.

I'm a little behind on the anime, but my favorite story for the crew would have to be Brook asking for the panties. :lol:

He'll probably be the next main 'villain' along with the Marines >_>;
Sometimes I wonder how Luffy is going to make it with all those crazy Devil's fruit powers out there (magma, ice, shatter, etc), compared with his rubber one...

Haha! Brook and his pantie fetish XD
It was hilarious watching him fly to that island with those people summoning a demon...and the first thing he asks for are panties XD

I always wonder how Luffy is going to pull through all these battles with just being made of rubber, yet he always does. Which just makes you love him more.

I'm already tired of Blackbeard and the Marines! I really hope there is other main villains along the way.

With the mention of any Strawhat, I start to really miss them even more.

I guess now he has his Baki (I think that's how it's spelled in English...>_>;), if he learns how to use it, it's going to be a huge asset.

There probably will be...judging from their strength so far, Luffy still has a long ways to go, so it'll probably be a while before he finally meets up with the Marines and Blackbeard again. There might be some chapters in the future with Blackbeard fighting the Marines though while Luffy and his crew are somewhere else I guess...though that makes me wonder just how many volumes One Piece is going to reach before its ending o_O

Yeah. Now that Luffy's finally got carted out of the way, maybe after he heals on that ship with the bear (I keep forgetting their names...) he'll finally be able to meet up with them?

I know of it as Haki but yeah if he does learn how to use it well enough, he will be even more powerful.

I really hope it happens that way, I liked it before when you only saw glimpses of the Marines and Blackbeard. I'm also wondering how long is One Piece going to keep going. I'm totally fine with it going on for another ten years ;D

Law and Bepo? I really can't see what happens now with an ending like that. I hope we do get the see all of the Strawhats soon!

Oh, yeah, Haki. Right. :XD; Mandarin translated it as '霸氣' so it's pronounced 'Baki' for me...guess I mixed it up with the Romanji...:sweat:

lol I don't mind either. I just cringe at the thought of how much it's going to cost me if I ever decide to collect the entire series.

Yeah, them. My friends and I were wondering if the other pirates who were on the bubble-thing island would go over to the Marine Headquarters after watching the live broadcast.

I know @ collecting. I still only have the first volume cause I really don't have any money to buy any right now. Hopefully soon I can buy at least one once in a while to help it grow slowly.

I REALLY hope Kidd rushes over there to not be beat by Law and goes to beat people down. I missed seeing him too!

Ah, Kidd! He reminded me of Hisoka from Hunter x Hunter when I first saw him :lol:

I miss those new pirates, they're all pretty neat in their own way. I was kinda worried for them when the Marines stormed the tree-bubble island.

Hehe, he does kinda look like Hisoka <3 And I wonder if any other of the amazing rookies will appear! Jewelry Bonnie was my favorite <3 But I'm excited: Shanks! I wonder what role he'll play now! Wonder how Luffy will look without his hat now XD

I'm still a bit confused with Jewelry Bonnie's ability though, what was it again?
I like Kidd and the bear-guy (and the bear XD), the voodoo guy was interesting too, but I didn't see too much of his personality yet so I'm reserving my thoughts for now :P

O_O I'd forgotten Luffy lost the hat! Yeah, I wonder if he'll just go without it from now on or maybe someone will get it back for him...

I almost had a heart attack when Shanks showed up and grabbed Luffy's hat. I totally didn't realize he didn't have it on until that point. Plus Shanks showed up.

Bonnie's power was to turn into a lil kid. Her power kinda of freaks me out. Though she always makes me think of Gal Sonne with the way she eats so much.

I didn't really like any of the other Supernova's expect Kidd and Law. Their powers are really cool but I'm not interested in them lol.

On a side note: I'm writing a research paper on One Piece. The maxium is 7 pages and it is SUPER hard to limit all the stuff in One Piece into that many pages. I'm really cutting out so many details and important parts.

lol Yeah, I was all 'O_O He's here! He showed up! He's here!!' xD;

Oooh yeah, I'd forgotten. Now I remember her laughing about it while chibi Marines ran around in panic below...

lol Yeah. Interesting powers, I'd really like to know more about Law's power in particular, how he can switch around body parts and objects around and yet they're still 'connected' in a way, like the head yelling Ouch when his body is on fire, etc...

7 pages? O_O Wow...

I thought Law's power was really cool. That part with the "talking head" made me laugh.

@ Weech: Your writing a paper on One Piece? What class are you taking that lets you do that? ...Lucky.

I really like Law's power too. I wonder how it works/what it is since they never explained it yet. The same with basically all the Supernova's. I mean we can tell certain things of what they can do but what fruit is it?!

And I had to write it for English. It's part of some project she is making us do and since it was just a huge report, she wanted us to write about something we liked.

I'm guessing the voodoo guy's fruit was probable a Voodoo Fruit or something that had to do with predicting the future as he had been calculating the chances of them getting killed and surviving...

Ooh. I wish I could've gotten that for a report assignment. All we ever got were boring topics...like for this one class we had to report on the different methods of language teaching/learning...boooooring. x__x

The war is over! YESSSS! I was tired of everyone dying and all the fighting. I hope Luffy meets up with the rest of the Strawhats once he gets back to the island with Law.

Booooo @ no update this week.
