Image War
Not really a "war", but maybe a little discussion on what to use can be here. The reason I think black-and-white is more suitable is because that's how they're literally presented in the manga. The extra color and details only exist in covers. Not that extra color is a bad thing, but if we're having an infobox image based on the manga, it would work best if the image was how he looked IN the manga, right? Just my opinion. Also, he needs the straw hat. 03:51, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

Manga isn't just black-and-white. If we have color, we obviously use color, since it looks better, don't see a point in using black-and-white.

Because the manga is in black-and-white, of course. 04:01, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

Are you actually being serious, there are many color pages and color covers that Oda has drawn, stop the silliness.

I am being serious. The manga, in its literal page state, is always in black-and-white. Sure, there's always a few color pages, but the manga is mainly black-and-white. It shouldn't be mandatory, it's just a suggestion on what would be more suitable and why. Manga is black-and-white, image is black-and-white. It makes sense. 04:20, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

that's not a reason to discard the color pages which he put down more work on.

I'm not saying we should DISCARD them. They can have a nice touch in the gallery. But if the colored image works best, I suppose it's fine. Still though, get one with the Straw Hat. 04:44, May 3, 2013 (UTC)

Can't you just find a better colored manga image? I'm pretty sure there are many. 08:43, May 3, 2013 (UTC)
