>look at image of Hancock and the relationship chart below her.
>notice some dude that makes Chopper go all sparkly-eyed.

Is that Vegapunk? And if so, what is his relationship to Hancock?! Is he actually related to her? Did he do experiments on her when she was a slave?

And if that's not Vegapunk, who the fuck would have a relationship with Hancock that would make Chopper have that reaction?!

>>24321
Dude that's Fisher Tiger.

>>24319
People have been becoming increasingly dickish to one another, might have driven some people away.

>>24321
Somebody skipped the Fishman Island Arc

>>24323
No, there's no one on here because there's nothing to do. No new chapter this week, so we're not gonna have much traffic, either.

>>24313
Is this that.. Color Blue Ocean or whatever book? Or a brand new color? Looks like we'll be getting names for more minor people.

>>24324

It's the new databook, One Piece Deep Blue. It's an updated version of One Piece Blue, and will mostly deal with characters.

Will there be a chapter this week?

Didn't hear about any skips.

>>24326

Like everyone just got done talking about, there is no chapter this week. You didn't hear about it because the new scanlation group didn't translate the little blurb on the END page, where the announcement always comes.

>>24327
Alright. Thank you.

One Piece: Kaizoku Musou - PV 02 (SD)

LOOKS LIKE I'M SAVIN' UP TO IMPORT!

>>24361
One Piece: Kaizoku Musou - Trailer 2 HD

YES MOST SUFFICIENT!

>In late December 2011, Namco Bandai filed a trademark in Europe for Pirate Warriors.[9] In early February 2012, the company also filed the Pirate Warriors trademark in the United States.[10]

Hmm. Of course, trademark claims like this don't always lead to releases, but it could be a good sign in favor of an official translation at some point.

>>24362
They've got Nami in slutwear instead of her early series togs >: (
Honestly now I liked her clothing at the start of the series, I don't mind her getting her tits out, but I liked the less revealing clothes as well.

Apart from that little thing excellent trailer, looking forward to this.

>>24362
Something about the way their mouths move when talking is eerie. Can't quite put my finger on it.

>>24365

That's always the case when they use 3D models for One Piece.

There's just something about it that's not right when it's anywhere but 2D.

>>24366
This is just opinion, but I feel like Oda's designs work a lot better still and in black and white than they do when someone tries to animate and color them. They have tons of motion and life even in the stills, so it's no big loss.

Even so, I think Pirate Musou looks pretty keen.

One Piece: Pirate Warriors Pro…

Yes.

Yes.

>>24368
Man, I want this game so bad. But ye gods--８１９０円 just for the regular edition? Plus probably at least $10 shipping to the US....that's a butt load of cash to drop.

>>24369
You think that's bad? I'm gonna have to buy a PS3 for this game.

Wait wait.

Did I convert that right?

A hundred dollars for this game?

>>24371

Lots of games in Japan cost that much.

forget the game!

when is someone going to upload that OST. That smooth jazz in drum is orgasmic.

>>24502
>Habu: A worried-looking woman from the Calgara flashback; other than that, I have no clue who she is.

Probably Musse's mom/Calgara's wife.

>>24504
Habu 4 nakama.

>>24505
Brook already filled the space for a dead person on the crew.

Say, would I be the only one who would've found it interesting if this group (maybe +Hancock) had stayed on as the permanent New World Straw Hat crew? I mean, they're stronger on average than the current crew (with Buggy and Galdino perhaps dragging them down a bit), meaning Luffy might not have needed the timeskip to be New World-ready if they'd stayed on. I'm sure there'd be some resentment and feeling of cheapness that the characters we'd followed for ten years had all been red herrings, but I'd stay on because I'd be confident Oda wouldn't screw it up. How about you guys?

>>24511
No. No that's awful, stop.

>>24511
Are you...trolling, or are you simply insane?

>>24514
No, I just think, IF DONE RIGHT, it could've been an interesting twist. Oda likes twists, of course.

>>24511
If I wanted to see my favorite characters unceremoniously abandoned without closure, I'd read Naruto and Bleach. No, man. No.

>>24515
Not at the expense of the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF THE SERIES

>>24515
You have been sentenced to the gallows to hang from the neck until dead for treasonous and dangerous thoughts which threaten the kingdom.
Make peace with your living God.

>>24518
True. I admit defeat. I just grew to love those guys, is all.

>>24515
There is literally no way to do that right.

>>24528

<- ?

Hahaha, the shitstorm would be AMAZING. Like, the previous chapter would say "starting next week One Piece will be published in our seining magazine" and then BOOM, everyone gets murdered brutally. I mean I would drop the series immediately but looking back it would be pretty funny.

>>24511
My only gripe with these guys being Strawhats would be Crocodile and Daz Bones.

Croc is just better as an antagonist and rival, and Bones is just plain uninteresting.

And, like most people have said, I don't think it would be wise for them to just up and drop the rest of Luffy's crew like that. even if there are a couple of them that I really wish would drop off the face of the Earth. Not saying who, because it'll just start a shitstorm

>>24532
I don't think the Eclipse would translate well to the One Piece universe...mainly because I think the Straw Hats could survive it, though if Chopper, Nami or Usopp survived their mind would be shattered to splinters.

>>24535
Yeah, I sincerely want Crocodile to never go down the shonen manga "whoop we're bros so I'm good now" road. I'm hoping he faces down the Strawhats again because he's pretty much my favorite antagonist for Luffy. Nothing like watching all those plans and back-up plans and back-up-back-up plans of twisty dickery crumble under the weight of Luffy's sheer Luffocity.

>>24541
I love when they brought him into the War of The Best and Luffy immediately tries to take him out for going after White Beard.

>>24540

One Piece Eclipse: Kuma doesn't give a shit about anyone but Luffy so instead of launching them in chapter 513 he only launches their heads. There's your eclipse.

Unless Kuma can do that without killing people, which would be both pretty silly and immediately solve the current arc mystery. Whoops.

>>24541
>Nothing like watching all those plans and back-up plans and back-up-back-up plans of twisty dickery crumble under the weight of Luffy's sheer Luffocity.

Just because I love the Alabasta arc, I gotta say that never happened. Luffocity got Luffy pretty much killed, and it took a WHOLE LOT more than guts and friendship to save the day from Crocodile.

>>24544
When I said "Luffocity", I was thinking along the lines of raw determination to kick Crocodile's ass, not the power of friendship. Yes, it nearly got him killed, but it was also why he kept coming back. Stuck him in an elaborate death trap and left no possibility for escape, and he escaped it. The final battle was really satisfying because we saw in real time a man who had previously been depicted as so very in control and on top of every situation (despite making some really dumb decisions - elaborate death traps never ever work, Crocodile) on his very last rope, going from emergency contingency plan to emergency contingency plan (hook, poison hook, knife) but all of them being stripped from him by Luffy's colossal, unmoveable determination to punch him up good (the aforementioned Luffocity). At the very end, he had, for the first time, nothing left - the man who had an answer for every eventuality was out of them. He could do nothing but lash out and take the punches. And in the end, Luffocity triumphed.

That final fight is one of my absolute favorites because I really enjoy seeing the my favorite clever villains being not just defeated, but completely taken apart. It's gratifying.

>>24545
When Luffy had nothing going for him but Luffocity, it ended in this. Luffy really never stopped (aside from once to take a nap,) but Alabasta was remarkable in being an arc where Luffy's determination to get through anything DIDN'T save the day or end the fight. He entered into the final battle, the last chance to save everything, and LOST.

And then came back and won, but that had many other things helping him (things like Nico Robin and water barrels.) Guts only got Luffy so far.

>>24546
Er, yes? I never said it did? I know it wasn't just Luffy. I never said it was. I think you're under the impression that when I cited Luffy as my favorite protagonist to see against Crocodile I somehow meant he was the only protagonist who fought against Crocodile.

>>24547
No, I just misinterpreted a bit by the line of "backup plan upon backup plan falling to guts and determination." Alabasta's the first arc where sheer guts and determination weren't enough, so I took a little offense to that. I shouldn't have though, and it's clear that's not quite what you meant, so sorry.

LAW IS A SHICHIBONKERS LAW IS A CHICHIBONKERS XD XD LOL I SURE DO HOPE HE DOESN'T BECOME MORE OVERRATED NOW

Shanks:
>wear a strawhat for decades
>get the moniker "Red Hair"

Luffy:
>Wear a strawhat for a year or two
>get called "Straw Hat"

Anyone else find that kind of odd?

>>24594

Not many people in OP have hair that red.

Lots of people have black hair.

>>24594
Eh, I always figured that Shanks only went out and really made a name for himself after he left the Strawhat with Luffy.
