Question to the ancient weapons
Hey, yet another philosophical questen from me. Since the ancient weapons which are mentioned on the ponyglyphs are named after the old gods of, for what we know, Greece and Rome, isn't it possible that the weapons' names indicates something about their abilities?

Pluton is said to be a warship, which could destroy whole islands at the time. The god Pluto was simular to the god Hades, Pluto was the god of death or the kingdom of death if you want. These two things could be seen as similar, since the weapon causes so much destruction in one blow.

If this is the case, then the unknown weapon posidon, which we'll probably get to know a whole lot better later, would have something to do with water, since the greek gos Posidon ruled the oceans. IT could be another terrifying ship, that would make sence, but I guess you never know in the One Piece world, where everything is possible.

There is definitely a Greek/Roman god connection. It's difficult for me to think of what Poseidon would be. Poseidon was the god of the sea, known to cause earthquakes, shipwrecks, storms, etc. The best thing I could think of to represent that would be the gura-gura no mi. So Whitebeard's an ancient weapon... Probably not, I'm guessing that it's something similar to Pluton, huge and destructive. I think it might have something to do with storms or earthquakes. Who knows, it could just be another huge ship, though I doubt it.--DancePowderer 03:14, November 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * The logic on WB doesn't make sense. Pluton we get the hint of being a ship since it was put in the hands of shipwights and all. DFs and the weapons aren't connected, at least for now. One-Winged Hawk 08:38, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Hiatus
Does anybody know why the manga keeps going on hiatus? Is Oda okay?
 * I hope this answers your question. Basically X-mas and May time, expect a break for holiday reasons in Japan.  If the breaks not then, Oda's doing research.  There was a few cases when Oda was ill over the years and no OP was done (see Grand Line Times) and once he was just late getting the chapter done in time for its weekly release.  His research breaks have been more frequent, due to his busy life.  His movie, recent family addition and manga are all bidding for his time this year.

Adam Tree
Yo guys Was the Tree of ohara an adam tree? The tree Franky built Thousand sunny out of?

New user: Probably. We really don't know of any other type of tree that large. Yeah, it's supposed to withstand any sort of military bombardment, but against the fire of a buster call, even an adam tree may fall.

Duval
Who could Duval be?

Place your theory here and why you think that person is; please DO NOT disown someones thoughts about this everyone diserves their opinion:


 * Don Krieg - maybe, only about 10% sure but still all the armor
 * I serieusly doubt it being Don Krieg, considering how far he gotten in the Grand Line last time. Kraken 09:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Arlong - He's a fishman and they're near his home island and he could be trying to hide his broken nose, but i can't explain kidnapping Hatchi
 * Ax-Hand Morgan (added by Kraken 09:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)) - They are both musculair, Luffy and Zoro destroyed his life as a marine, he wears an iron mask and he escaped from Garp which means he probably still is out there free drifting in the ocean.

please let it be someone unknown. ALSO-SINCE WHEN do we have this place?

and WHEN were you PLANING on telling me?

User:New Babylon

It's always been here. anyone can tell you that, but i think that it is a good possibility we don't know who he is 68.47.16.132 23:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm so sick of this by now. Can't everyone wait a few chapters until we get him revealled? Everywhere I go this is all I see...  One-Winged Hawk 07:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

can't be morgan cause Duval has two hands and arlong is in jail

I have NO clue of who it is...but it's driving me crazy! The fact that he knows one of the Straw Hats somehow...I just can't figure out who it is! My first thought was Arlong, but that wouldn't explain why he kidnapped Hachi and why he doesn't have webbed hands. My second guess was Don Krieg, but how could he make it this far in the Grand Line after losing his entire fleet? So maybe it is just some new guy...who knows? We'll just have to wait a few chapters to find out... User:Skeleton_Brook

~updated 3/28/08: Just saw under the mask in the new chapter, and all I can say is "BAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Oda is a GENUIS! (not that we didn't know that already ^_^) User:Kelgadis

Shichibukai and Yonkou final members
I'm just bored at work and i am a huge fan of onepiece, unfortunately I can only see the anime on youtube.com, and the chapters I can only read what's happening once someone updates the story arcs page. I believe we are all wandering a lot of things, the abilities of the other 2 admirals and of course Sengoku's strength. Who the hell is the 7th Shichibukai and the 4th Yonkou? I want to know Mihawk's bounty as well as Shanks and Whitebeard. But the most intriguing thing I found about one piece world is what happened with the Void Century and how did the World Government defeated them if they had such advance technology as Poneglyphs and ancient weapons?

I am not trying to get speculations on this but I think it is great that there are so many questions marks about One Piece to keep you posted and waiting for Oda's next chapter to see what will happen next. I believe this is one of the greatest manga ever.190.245.83.25 17:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

~You'd have to wait a few more years to know all those answers :) But keep thinking. It's what keeps the wait worth waiting.

10th member?
Who do you think will be the 10th member of the Straw Hats?

Ok, it WAS a while ago, but Luffy did say that he would like to have a crew of 10. Currently, he has nine (if you count Luffy himself that is). So who do you think will be crew member number 10? And if so, what should be his occupation?

-My own imput: It won't be Hancock. Sorry everybody, but I just can't see her giving up her status as Shichibukai, leave her sisters behind, and let her entire island to be destroyed by the Marines. Besides, do you really think Oda will let a Shichibukai join the crew? They'd be too overpowered. Of course they'll be friends, and they'll treat her as a nakama, but she doesn't have to join.

Sorry, but it won't be Hatchi either. I really can't see him of any use. Sort of like the Sky Island people everybody was talking about a while ago. If they can't fulfill any role, they won't join. (Similar to how Vivi can't join; letting her join would not add anything to the plot)

Don't forget, Brook was already added in the Red Line Saga. At this point in the story, it's unlikely two people will be added in the same saga. My guess is somebody in the new world. He/she will probably fill the role of an assassin, spy, poisoner, etc. The only job the Straw Hats need is somebody with stealth (Robin doesn't do so much because of her fame).

I think that Mr. 2 Bon Kurei will be the next member of the crew, on accounct of all that he is doing in this arc.

Usopp is shown holding a friut in chapter 524, is that a devil fruit?

No, i do not think that it is a devil fruit GlDemo 22:12, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
