Rici-kun, firstly another excellent blog here! Good job and am looking forward to another great one from you in the final round.

I wish to share something with you. Ya know, I have had the exact same concept of your current blog idea here from since a few weeks ago which I plan to do in the near future when I manage to gather all the relevant info and thoughts. But when I read your work, I was dumbfound (and having goosebumps) because I was experiencing something of an extraordinary coincidence. Really, talk about sheet coincidence!

Some points that I have (in mind) you have mention already, here are some others below :


 * the interesting way of how Oda portray superweapon (i.e. nuclear in our reality world) and how he shocked us regarding it plus leaving us hanging about it. Firstly Pluton and revealing that its a ship of sorts. Then Posseidon was revealed which rivals Pluton, and in the end we were shocked that the second superweapon was actually the crybaby Weakhoshy herself. And then a third (hopefully final) superweapon comes into light - Uranus and we are now speculating like hell on what that is!


 * how Oda sets up the grand prize awaiting at Raftel - One Piece - and the ambiguity of it. Was it a superweapon or some awesome superpower (e.g. even better than DF + haki), or was it some great wealth (as how all pirates are associated with loot and gold and stuff), or was it some junk which was of invaluable worth to someone (e.g. the straw hat?)


 * the way how Oda entertains us on fights and raising the bars higher and higher along the way. From the very start, the usual down to earth kinda fight (Shanks' crew vs Higuma's group; guns, swords and fists), to some weird but wonderful supernatural powers (devil fruit), Paramecian type (Luffy, Buggy, Hina) to the animal / creature related Zoan type (Chopper) to the weaker version of Logia (Croc, Enel) which protagonist could take on based on brute strength + some gimmick, to the stronger version of Logia (Kuzan, Kizaru, Sakazuki) which protagonist could do nothing about and finally arriving to haki (Rayleigh)


 * the repetative of certain kinds of relationship or type of member in many pirate crews which carries the running gag moments. E.g. the love-hate sibling rivalry relationship (I have blogged about this) like Zoro~Sanji and Buggy~Shanks, scaredy coward member (tends to scream about death and loss of the situation) like Usopp, Bepo, Buggy and all time serious member in a crew like Zoro, Rayleigh, Beckman, Mr. 1.

In a way, I am happy seeing this coming from a good writer like you, since you are able to do a better blog about it than I could ever hope for.

Yohohoho... I'm still "goosebump"ing about it now...
