The hardest part is not the long game, imo. But those early years. Oda needs to keep up ratings to keep One Piece alive. And slow/less flashy chapters tend to be low in ranking. But Oda succeed using those early chapters to world build while maintaining OP's popularity.
It's kinda sad when I hear people suggesting new reader/watcher to skip East Blue saga. While it's slower and less flashy than, say, Arabasta/Water7, those early chapters are fantastic warm up to the epic that is One Piece.
Edit: shameless plug to my One Piece Character comparison apps
It isn't recent, It's from 2015, when Shun Saeki drew the Jump Heroine reacting to Shokugeki no Soma's cooking.
And here is the link to the Chapter (Called A Magnificent Banquet) : https://mangadex.org/chapter/41667
The Raw for Shokugeki no Sanji is out by the way for those that wonder about it.
Is this going to re-ignite the age old debate of "Does a female centaur have <em>it</em> in the front, or back, or both?"

I hope you all shined and ran to your hearts' content.
Just a little something: While Kiss Manga is nice since you can scroll down the whole chapter, it's still a site that isn't "safe", due to all the ads, and how it just take/"steal" the chapters from the team.
So it would be better to use Mangadex for that, as it's more respectful toward the translation team, as they are often the one choosing to upload their chapter there, but it also doesn't use Ads.
I highly recommend not buying them individually. Buy the manga box sets. Its the exact same volumes and quality. You will save some money, will get a neat looking box and extra mini volumes inside each boxes.
Sure its one big purchase insted of small one but you will thank me later.
. Box set 1 is 105$ so 4.60$ per volume. For 23 volumes.
Oda really is on Roll.
He can hype the Hype. I don't see anyone complaining "Reverie was cut-short", now.
Oh the love for Zorooo and Robinnn.
I wanted to draw the differences in Luffy's design between now and the Alabasta/Skypiea/Water 7/Enies Lobby eras.
Let me know which one is your favourite!
Personally I am very attached to the old style, it looked cooler, was more expressive and was much easier for animators to follow.
He was a shichibukai, he could have used the wg port at the red line. The WG also has incredibly huge ships and while they are all equipped to travel the calm belt, it's not impossible to think that they also have a way to get them directly over the red line.
they have that for Law as well, pretty sure those are the only ones in that series so far though
Decent edit. But let's not make things up for upvotes.

How much time did it take you to draw everything?
Also, if you are interested in drawing your own manga, there is currently the Jump Tezuka Manga Contest, where the 1st and 2nd place will get published in the Shonen Jump, as well as win prizes.
And submissions are open until September 1st. Here : https://medibang.com/contest/jumptezuka100th/?locale=en
I would say start from where you are in the anime in the manga (so like chapter 864). Catch up to the manga, as the arc is over now, and it's an excellent point to read to.
Then once you did, start reading from the beginning with the color version (as it's very nice and the translation are great), and once you don't have any color chapter left, switch to normal chapters.
Here is a link to the color chapters : https://mangadex.org/manga/10004
"In fiction writing, character development is the process of building a unique, three-dimensional character with depth, personality, and clear motivations. Character development can also refer to the changes a character undergoes over the course of a story as a result of their actions and experiences"
https://www.masterclass.com/articles/writing-tips-for-character-development
Character development doesn't necessarily mean change, it means giving the character depth. That's why people saying that One Piece doesn't have character development are wrong, it doesn't have a lot of character "change" or "growth" but all the characters are developed and fleshed out. And in that sense, Sanji is way more developed than Robin who had almost all her development in Water7/Ennies Lobby (though I love Robin and she's in my top 3 characters of One Piece).
I’m re-reading the impel down arc and he’s just fucking awesome, he and Luffy are just the best of friends they never give up on each other

Then Luffy first thinks about Bon Chan after having 10 years stripped of him and recovering from the poison (after food of course)

You could try using my app to compare sizes between characters. Here's Oars Jr, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Kaidou.
I have been using it for awhile.
I'm on Android and I use an app called Zedge to download them. It's a very easy app to use too and selection is pretty decent.

Here is Chapter 0, the Cannon Strong World prequel, that give us detail on the Era of 20 years before the manga started :
https://mangadex.org/chapter/122073/1
In it, you can see that Buggy try to make Roger not fight, wanting to use his disease as the reason. Meaning Roger was already sick.
Then it says : Roger conquered the Grand Line, meaning he reached Raftel.
And here is how Rayleigh talk about Roger in chapter 506 : https://mangadex.org/chapter/65480/11
Posts with big news have the linkflair-news class, so you can change thumbnail background by adding this at the end of the css (I used the image from OP, but you can choose whichever you want and replace parameters with adequate ones)
.linkflair-news > .thumbnail { background-image: url(https://imgpile.com/images/nQqwGk.jpg); background-size: cover; background-position: 10% 0%; }
I'd probably give it a 7. The wigs and scar will definitely improve the outfit.
As someone who has cosplayed Zoro, I have a few recommendations:
For the swords I would checkout SwordsAxe. These are what I use and they are great. Though I did have to repaint Shusui to look right.
You may already have it, but you can get a clip on of his earrings on Amazon that work well.
I saw you mention that you couldn't get the bandana to stay even on your arm. What I did was get a slightly bigger piece of black, stretchier fabric (compared to a typical bandana) so I could tie it off on my arm above my bicep. You may have to re-tie it depending on how long you wear it, but this worked for me.
What shoes will you wear with it? I've found basic black boots work well.
Your costume is great as is, and these are things you could do if you plan to continue to dress up as the greatest swordsman. I cosplay him at least once whenever I make it to a convention, so it was worth it to upgrade the props.
Lastly, as someone who has only done pre-timeskip Zoro, your robe is amazing and I hope when I eventually do post timeskip my robe looks that good.
for those of you who follow our main series releases, we're pretty close to releasing the next batch
New link because the other one is going to 404 in a few minutes
They're temporary tattoos, actually! I printed them myself using laser temporary tattoo decal paper.
Facts :
Roger was in fact Pirate king level. Why? Because Roger was the Pirate King, so whatever level he was at the time became Pirate King level.
Moriah was trashed by Kaido, to the point were Kaido destroyed his entire crew. Just because he managed to get into a figh with Kaido doesn't mean he was on the same level. Also here : https://mangadex.org/chapter/65238/6. Kaido was also a man that was defeated 7 times before (his introduction), so the Yonko Kaido is far stronger than what he was before.
Strongest Swordman doesn't mean being the strongest, or at least doesn't mean being stronger than those 3. There is a lot more than being a swordman to a fight in the One Piece world.

King's size is comparable to Big Mom's ship, Queen Mama Chanter. Estimated from Thousand Sunny's 46m height, I approximated QMC's size to be this big (I approximated it from TS & QMC case scene at Dressrosa)
While I doubt Big Mom used her main ship to Wano, it's just too similar from QMC.
If we extrapolate King's zoan form vs QMC and Big Mom's 8.8m height vs Queen's zoan form from the spoiler, it's pretty much certain that King is bigger.
Shameless plug: the screenshot was taken from my free android app.
I'm not a fluent Japanese speaker so I don't really understand "ツメアカ", which is a bit colloquial or something, but I'll tell you that's not a good translation. The first part, "ヒット作" is roughly 'making a hit' (that is, a hit manga), and it does end in ください, or please. It looks like ツメ means 'to close up', so maybe a better translation of the title would be closer to "Please finish up making your hit!"
Yeah, that's it. Hachi said it's because they don't want to breathe the same air as normal people.
They aren't wearing helmets in Doflamingo's flashback either.
Miss Valentine can freely change her weight to anything in the range of 1kg - 10,000 kg.
The attacks that Machvise has used are 10 ton, 1000 ton, and 10,000 ton.
Assuming that tons are metric tons (since Japan uses metric), Miss Valentine's upper limit is 10 tons, i.e. equal to Machvise's weakest attack.
It was never confirmed whether Machvise could make himself lighter in the way that Miss Valentine can, although Franky commented that he was 'floating' when he jumped the first time, so it's possible. Alternatively, my pet theory is that his 'tail' contains some super-light air that he uses as a substitute to help him jump.
You can get it from Amazon Japan and it ships to the US. Shipping is like $9 though.

Yes I believe you are correct. As others have pointed out that fire could be conflagration which can be used in war scenario according to the Cambridge dictionary.
Idk if it's already common knowledge, but box set 4 is coming out early next year!
Somebody at arlong park drew an illustration explaining that. It could also be possible his fruit has some kind of sticky gimmick that lets him pull back together much like buggy's fruit. Edit:Law never used Haki to cut him,if he was logia then Law would have needed haki

You don't seem to understand how big the marketing is for one piece in Japan, everything includes one piece. You can't turn your head without seeing one piece. Cross over for monster hunter? You don't think one piece don't have cross over with monster hunter? Although getting a cross over with monster hunter isin't really a big deal, even inuyasha has cross over with the newest monster hunter, and that manga ended ages ago.
This wont even get the eye of Bandai unless it gets at least 100k signatures. You're better off importing it like I will.
Btw, there's a rumor Ace is the next character to be announced in the game.
Edit: Ace confirmed http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-02-18/j-stars-victory-vs-game-52-characters-unveiled
It's never been stated that his abilities cut his life if he uses them. For G2 specifically he said he wasn't strong enough to use it properly yet during EL (which explains why he has less and less of an issue with the drawback as pre-TS progresses, and none at all post-TS; his "base" strength caught up with his upgrade). G3 and G4 have completely different drawbacks. Or rather G3 did, and G4's will probably become less of an issue over time too.
I actually completely agree with you because the focus of One Piece as a series IS adventure and exploration. Now that I think about it, a One Piece mod for FTL would be great!
The only reason I would want a fighting game though is because compared to open world/exploration games, I believe that fighting games are a tad simpler to make. I also used UNS as an example though there are probably better examples but I 100% agree if someone made a good adventure/exploration One Piece game I would be all over it.
For a good question I would personally advise that you ask about observations you've made in the series and whether or not Oda can elaborate on them. I know SBSes are quite varied and sometimes whack but a lot of great extra tidbits can be gleaned from them especially when you've read or reread an arc in the manga.
Just aim to stand out of the crowd and be unique in the flood of SBS questions Oda and Shueisha get. For example Redon from AP asked this question early in Dressrosa:
>A bunch of members from Pirateking.es (Basically Spanish APforums) sent Oda a letter with the help of Redon, Greg and Aohige from AP to inquire about the inherently Spanish theme within Dressrosa. They were featured and their question answered in the SBS.
Oda's reply to the letter by the Spanish Fans in Volume 72:
That "anniversary" is probably just an unfortunate mistranslation for "edition". Since the contest is held twice a year, this would be the 100th edition (or the 50th year since the foundation of the contest)... I guess?
amazon ? https://www.amazon.com/ONE-PIECE-Poster-Wanted-Luffy/dp/B007TV6REQ
According to the reviews, the poster printed in good quality, check the dimensions if it exactly like the ones you have first. Good Luck
Due to certain bugs that I can't fix yet, the app won't be updated in couple hours or days.
In the first image, I collaborated with artist megaten_illust to replace the usual silhouette with his cute art. This will be shipped in next couple updates.
Some other characters are included in the Vivre Card, but I can't find good enough avatar yet so for time being, I excluded them (BananaCroc, Punk Hazard Dragon, etc.)
And damn, Yeti Cool Brothers are HUGE!
At least for that year, 2/3 was from volume sales.
This is really funny because in a previous poll, Slam Dunk and One Piece were the top choices for manga MOST wanted to be adapted into live action.

I think we already saw King's silhouette/first design back in Punk Hazard :
Here and Here. (The bald guy with the horns is a beast Pirate and has a different design than normal fodder from the crew).
I expect him to be the Brain of the Beast Pirates, the one who deal with eveything to make the machine work. I don't see him as stronger than Jack, but as someone more dangerous as Jack (So someone who honned enough to be a beast, but not necesserly with as much strenght as Jack).
Also, what do you mean by fear him? Are you saying that King would be afraid of Kaido? Or that you would be scared of him?
For Queen ; I think she is a woman, And that she will like to trick and deceive others.
Funimation has dubbed them (far better than the 4kids dub that came out on cartoonnetwork) and offer them legal, free, but supported with ads.
http://www.funimation.com/shows/one-piece/videos/episodes
I would recommend watching it on the funimation website because funimation makes products we all love, and you aren't supporting them financially if you watch it on a third party site.
Well, there were 597 chapters pre-timeskip, and the timeskip is the halfway point, so there should also be 597 chapters post-timeskip, meaning that the manga should end with chapter 1194. The current chapter (as of Wednesday's leaks) will be 749. For the past few months, Oda has gone on break about 1 week per month, give or take some bigger breaks, so I will do two calculations: one with no breaks (1 chapter every week), and one with 2 weeks of breaks every month (1 chapter every 2 weeks). The actual end date should be somewhere in the middle.
1194-749 = 445 chapters left.
Calculation 1: 445/52 = 8 years and 29 weeks (from 2 weeks from tomorrow, or December 21, 2022, since I am assuming constant output every week despite a 2 week break)
Calculation 2: 445/26 = 17 years and 6 weeks (from 1 week from tomorrow, or June 25, 2031, since I am assuming a constant repeating cycle of "break", "manga", "break", "manga", etc.)
~~Note: both of my times may be slightly off, as I used this date calculator, and my first calculation came out to a Saturday, so both dates are probably a few days off due to leap years and the fact that 365/7 does not come out to an even 52 (there is one too many days for that).~~
EDIT: Figured out my problem, and edited my comment with the correct dates.
This is not true. The original scene is from the anime. I did not trace it. I even drew this while streaming here you can see me sketching doing the lineart and coloring https://dlive.tv/p/dlive-71220875+wdNRUNkZg
It's nice of you if you think someone stole a drawing to do something but if you are not 100% sure you might need to look more into it or just leave it before you upset someone. Have a good day.
The December 30/January 6 issue of Bungei Shunju's Weekly Bunshun magazine calculated that One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda's annual income is 2 billion yen (about US$24 million). The magazine took the number of One Piece manga volumes sold this year (32,343,809), multiplied that by the average cover price (400 yen), and multipled the result by Oda's estimated royalty percentage (10%) to get the tally of 1.29 billion yen (US$15.5 million).
Weekly Bunshun then estimated that Oda earned 749 million yen (US$8.97 million) in royalties for character goods to reach the final total of 2 billion yen.

I think based on what he says here the possibility of him joining the RA isn't too far fetched. The marines are not a separate entity, it's a branch of the WG's military. The revolutionaries aren't pirates, bandits or plunderers. They are on the side of the people, their aim is to free the world from the shackles of the tenryuubito and the world government. I'm sure the reality of the situation is more nuanced and that just like the WG the revolutionaries bring both good and bad things with them.
I made an app for this. Used to share it here but this one is newer (and not yet finished) and I want to expand it to other animes like Attack on Titan, Gundam, etc.
I was inspired by /u/Highjax 's post and purchased the same set of 16 off of amazon. The process turned out nicely and I used poster putty to attach each poster to the wall. Large Kaws x Uniqlo plush for scale haha.
If you're on android, you could try my app. It's free and ads-free. Anyway, here's couple of giants with Wadatsumi.
Remember, Usopp's lies are known for coming true. Let's not forget he said, "Luffy, if you wear an afro, your punches will become stronger!"
The afro will be an integral part of Luffy's rubber awakening.
For anyone wondering, I uploaded the Strawhat icons.
First you'll have to jailbreak your iDevice, and then go to Cydia and install the Zeppelin Tweak. Next step is to download my icons and then extract the folder to root\Library\Zeppelin. From there, go to Zeppelin's settings and choose the Strawhat icons. Please note that my icon set will only work for Retina devices
Attack On Titan outsold One Piece in the first half of 2014, but One Piece won in the year as a whole. One Piece hadn't released a new volume that year when the data for the first half was collected, which was why it had significantly less sales than AOT.
These statistics are for November 2013 - May 2014 but Attack on Titan is well ahead of every other series. It'll probably be the top selling manga of this year.
Well, the One Pace website has been remade (I think, pretty sure it didn't look this way though.) On trello it says they are currently working on the Davy Backfight arc and Skypiea and for the future they are going to finish Skypiea then do Impel Down and Marineford.
Im not 100% sure of this, as im not part of it, its just what i gather from these sites. Hope they are going full speed ahead though, i heard there were some issues.
People might be more familiar with Nakao Ryusei as Kurotsuchi from BLEACH. And Horiuchi Kenyuu was Pain in Naruto (they've had a lot of other roles, these are just recent/popular). Here are their ANN pages if you want to see more roles.
Here's a weekly source. As you can tell on this listing, One Piece ranked 5th for the second week of August. It usually ranges anywhere from 3rd-7th.
I understand all of the complaints. I'm just saying it's pretty much standard for Toei for these types of anime.
P.S. ~~Your spoiler tags didn't work.~~ Fixed.
Chapters 50 - 52 are the chapters that got me hooked on One Piece. The absolute wall that is Mihawk, the first time we see a Strawhat lose, and Zoro's showing of loyalty to Luffy and the way of Swordsmen. An introduction into the immense powers of One Piece.
for reading the Manga i do suggest the digitally colored version, it's only up to chapter 763 but it's still nice, i end up noticing details that i missed when first reading the chapter in only black/white and imo really just adds to the manga in general
I don't know any particular sites off the top of my head, but come to think of it a widescreen anime may be difficult to extract vertical gifs from in the first place, unless you're looking for sideways ones. In any case I would find gifs on Google Images, save them, and then crop them as needed with ezgif.com. That's of course assuming you can set your background to a gif to begin with, and if you can then that sounds like a death sentence for your battery.
If you cant afford supporting the series legally that's okay. The costs add up buying the releases. I don't even own all of them yet. But, as a fan; what you can do is watch the series online legally. Here you are good sir.
It was a perfectly reasonable mistake . however it was underestimating luffy . Also he knew luffy did beat cracker that could have ringed some bells . Lets just look at the dictionary description of underestimate
"to fail to guess or understand the real cost, size, difficulty, etc. of something " https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/underestimate
And that is exactly what he did he failed to guess what it would take to kill luffy.
I decided to fill some of my spare times cleaning and translating digitally colored one piece manga. Any criticism is welcomed.. If you want the uncompressed version of this check it Here Should I do a chapter release or a volume release?
Thanks for the awards :)
If you want to know where I got it: I bought it from amazon for ~40€.
Didn't track the time, but it took me roughly 20-26 hours to complete.
May 7 2019. That's what Amazon says when I checked
Here’s a link to Zoro’s Funko Pop Figure. If she collects Pops, it’s a good one. Only $12.
You can also just type “Zoro One Piece Figure” into Amazon and pick from those. They range from $35-$70. (When I searched for this it searched for “Zero” but you can click a link below it to search explicitly for “Zoro”).
If you want a Law statue with more of a serious look i recommend this one. It is the first One Piece figure I’ve bought and I absolutely love it!

If you watch anime episode 770 (@19m45s) you'll find that line being delivered by a flashback voice (that sounds much more like Orochi than Oden) saying literally:

Ah. I forgot about other mangas. ^^;
Well, I just looked up whether or not there were any holidays this week, and I saw that this page marks the autumn equinox as a national holiday in Japan, so I just assumed...
Sorry for the incorrect info, anyone who read my previous comment!
The only source I know of for info on the subject tracks years with each year starting and ending in mid-November (I'm not entirely sure why, offhand), but they show One Piece with a slight edge over the course of the year.
Of course, AoT released 6 volumes in that period to One Piece's 3, and as AoT gained popularity much more recently, more of the fans are buying older volumes at the moment.
If you look at top-selling volumes instead of series, One Piece had numbers 1, 2, <em>and</em> 3, with AoT holding 4,5, and 6 (and some lower spots).
Strange, that video wasn't playable in my country, haha.
Here's a video from DW7, hopefully the new OP game won't have the same lag issues that plague the predecessors.
Her talent is certainly on the high end of the bell curve, but she's combined that with brilliant marketing acumen. She's currently getting over $64,000 per month through her Patreon. She makes more money in a week just through art than I've made in my entire life, it's pretty incredible!

Hajime Isayama has said that he aims to end manga in 20 Volumes
Not sure in 20 more volumes or 20 total volumes but either way that is at least 2+ years.
I started reading the manga for the first time recently and finished the Marineford arc yesterday. Here is a picture showing half of his face gone and no injury suffered upon his back towards the end of the arc. It's been a long time since I watched the arc from the anime but I can't remember his face going unless someone can reference me a link or anything. Manga reference in colour.
hmmmm mangas in amazon are cheap, but the price goes up high with shippment costs, http://www.bookdepository.com/search?searchTerm=One+Piece+manga&search=Find+book this page right here ships FREE WORLDWIDE, now lets say all the tomes are 10$ each theres 70 tomes, 700$ most likely, also take in hand the tomes that are in offer, so i will say... 620$ the whole collection.
Again, a lot of people are reading too much into real time (i.e., time in our world for Oda to draw the series). Oda has said that he intended to be done with the series in 5 years in the beginning, but acknowledged that he was only halfway there in 2009. He has also said that the "story" is halfway through more recently after the 2 year time skip . Pretty much he has no clue and doesn't want to talk about it, but the general consensus is that post-timeskip is the second part of the series. As for the amount time it'll take him to flush out everything, he DOES NOT KNOW HIMSELF how long it'll take.
Nicely done man.

The phrase that was used was 目には目 which is the first part of 目には目を歯には歯を。It's nothing to do with "beauty in the eye of the beholder". We're missing some context to Kanjuurou's response that will most likely be revealed in the future. It is intentionally vague.
