Talk:Sabaody Archipelago Arc

How about discusing things first Joekido?We dont even know if theyll ever GET there physicaly.We DO know they are heaeded to fishman island, this separation has about as much sense as having Cocoyashi arc and Arlong Park arc seperately,cause they happen in remotely distant places.

 * I'd call it the "Red Line arc" as thats where we still are. Everything is based on the small islands, groves and inlets along the red line. B ut I'd wait at least a few more arcs first before naming it.  One-Winged Hawk 01:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Right now I believe Shabondy was meant to be an mini arc like Jaya. Oda's the sneaky bastard, many people use to thought that Thriller Bark arc was a mini-arc before Fishman Island arc but then we get Shabondy Archipelago which screams to be an mini-arc. That means Post-Enies Lobby arc was meant to be an mini-arc all along for Thriller Bark while Shabondy Archipelago arc was meant to be an mini-arc before going to Fishman Island. Oda you sneaky bastard.

 * While I agree that it's neat and all that since it looks like the Straw Hats' adventures in the Old World isn't, but I kinda have to agree that things are being jumped here before any conclusions are made. Sure it seems like the Straw Hats are going to do somethings before going to Fishman Island, but how sure is it that the next series of events is going to be a mini-arc. As you have said Joekiddo, everyone originally thought that Thriller Bark was a mini-arc when it turned out to be much more. Wouldn't saying Shabondy is going to be mini-arc be the same when we haven't yet reached the islands and don't have any chapters on them? In fact, isn't saying it's going to be an arc the same thing also when all we know now is that the Straw Hats are planning to go to just Grove 44 but don't necessarily mean that they'll explore the whole archipelago?


 * Basically this is just jumping to conclusions before anything definite has been revealed. This is like your post, Joekiddo, about Oda sucking at showing the Red Line last chapter despite several pieces of information given about it and Fishman Island since Water 7. The complaint was as I remember that it seems like Oda is wanting to end his series real soon or something by showing the Red Line which is the halfway point in the Grand Line meaning also the halfway point in the story. However, the complaint became null instantly the moment the Straw Hats left the Red Line to look for Hatchan. And apparently everyone one of us got excited even though it means we won't be seeing some undersea paradise action soon.


 * Though this article and its contents are much more positive than the complaint, it is still the same thing, Joekiddo. It's jumping on conclusions. It's jumping to the conclusion that there's another arc before Fishman Island. For all we know Duval might lead an army of kidnappers to invade Fishman Island, the action will take place mostly there, and there might be no chapters spent on Shabondy especially since its revealed that Duval lives on a Waterworld Atoll-like town.


 * This article was made in good faith and I believe in that Joekiddo, but it borders too much on the realm on Speculation to accepted. The Fishman Island arc article I could accept since there was some evidence for its support back when Thriller Bark started, but this has too few. So its best to move the contents back to their original location and maybe even rename the article.Mugiwara Franky 10:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
