One Piece, Roger and Poneglyphs. Theory.
We know that Rio Poneglyph is on Raftel, courtesy of Gol D. Roger. We also know that Roger could hear the voice of all things and He wrote that message in the Skypea Poneglyph.
I think his ability is not as precise, and that would justify the fact that He did not get the whole truth but a part of it or somewhat close but not exactly the true. Only someone able to do it, like Robin, could know the full meaning of it. I don't know If I'm making sense, but bear with me.
When he found the Rio Poneglyph and hide it on Raftel I think it was to make sure that a person strong enough to cross the most dangerous ocean in the world will find and fight for the true that it's revealed on it. Because of his disease, he chosen to stay silent about the subje…
Theories and thoughs about Abalo Pizarro
Well, this is my first post and it's about the character most recently presented to us.
Abalo Pizarro, the new crewmate of Blackbeard and also the only one that we still don't know a thing about and that's the reason why the fanbase is creating so many theories about this character. Right now there are some interestings facts to consider from what we've seen from him.
- Know by "Corrupt King";
- Come with the crew from their visit to Impel Down;
- Abalo is the portuguese and spanish word to quake or shake;
- His name might also be Álvaro or Avaro (both portuguese and spanish names of pirates it might be based of);
- Might be inspired on Francisco Pizarro, the spanish explorer who conquered Peru;
- He says "meow"; and have physical attributes that resemble fe…
Merman and Devil Fruit
Has there ever been a merman with devil Fruit ability? if so, what happens when they go underwater? Maybe the writer will make it so that they can't eat fruit (since they would still be able to breath underwater. ) Or maybe they just become weak swimmers? (LOL)
gehh
spoiler alert!
why are so many people from whitebeard crew dying nowadays?
this certainly is a change of mood in one piece.
i actually like the change. i hate corny stories. x)
Fan Made Characters
There is a particular evil in every fandom and this is it...
Not my favourite subject, fan mades are fan made characters for a series. My first encounter with them was back as a Beyblade fan, though at the time the standard was to use paintbrush as a "catch all" for editing. With Adobe the main paint program and access by many, the fan mades have improved slightly and moved on from paint brush. But still they EXIST.
I have no problem with fan made characters overall, my problem is their existance is routed around bad fanfiction and my previously mentioned editing in an art program. Most fans lack the skills to draw their own character so just take an image of an already established character and edit over it, change black hair to... Pink or …
Not for You!
Couldn't think up a topic, now I have.
We can see it in One Piece though, over the last decade its matured. There are some very serious issues that at the beginning would have never seemed to have been touched upon at that point. One Piece was a light hearted adventure. Ultimate Muscle (I forget the Japanese name of this series) moved books to the more mature magazine in its second series, because the mangaka realised its fandom had grown old.
Series are always torn between dealing with old fans, I'll demostrate this with the gaming industry:
- Sonic aged a little from kiddie to teen. However they are trying to please the older fans. These fans want the series to be like they remember as a kid, forgetting that the problem is their no longer…
Answer me please?!
Yeah there is a wikia out there to answer those annoyinh questions... But a quick glance at yahoo answers made me wonder...
After a vocaloid search led me to a biased reply on Yahoo answers, I sat there and wondered why are these services so damn popular. Think about, we have a whole page on Luffy here, so why is there a need to ask a question about Luffy on wiki answers when a 5 min glance at our page will do the trick? Yeah I asked a question and I'll answer this myself - laziness and/or the lesser extend of mistrust of information.
We've all heard on Arlong Park and the other One Piece fan hangouts, even when the wikia is RIGHT we've got to prove we are to them that we are. Its like entertaining a 5 year child sometimes dealing with the O…
The Dreams Of The Straw Hats
I am missing one ... your help would be appreciated ...
1 - Luffy: To become the Pirate King
2 - Zoro: To become the world's greatest swordsman
3 - Nami: To make a map of the world
4 - Usopp: To become a brave warrior of the sea
5 - Sanji: To find All Blue
6 - Chopper: _______________________________ ?
7 - Robin: To learn the true history of the world
8 - Franky: To create his dream ship
9 - Brooks: To reunite with his nakama (Laboon)
Correct me if I am wrong on any of these. I can't remeber what Chopper's dream is exactly ..
Is he the same as Usopp? trying to become a brave man of the sea? Or is he trying to become a doctor who can cure any illness? They make little reference to his personal dream anymore.
Fire is Superior than magma
fire can reach temperature hotter than magma so if ace is a fire logia he can make the hottest fire if he wants to...just like eneru who control lightning he can generate electricity 1000x than a normal lightning...so why can't ace do that?i'm so disapointed in the latest chapter...hope Oda has an explaination to this....
(Oxyhydrogen flame: 2000 °C or above (3645 °F))( Bunsen burner flame: 1,300 to 1,600 °C (2,372 to 2,912 °F) Blowtorch flame: 1,300 °C (2,370 °F) # Candle flame: 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) while magma 700°C to 1300°C (or 1300°F to 2400°F)*

Hi!
Hello, I'm a big fan of One Piece, even though I haven't read a lot of it! I just finished volume one, but I already read volumes 3, 5 and 7 before. I also have two DVDs and an issue of Shonen Jump with a One Piece Tresure Chest and the first prototype manga (December 2009, Volume 7, Issue 12). I love One Piece so much! I love manga a lot and One Piece is one of the best (if not the best)!
The Straight and the "Other?" way?
Okay, got to mention Beyblade as the first time I came across the Yoai and Yuri thing was via that anime, so bare with me if it crops up.
You know not all Japanese animated porn is Hentai right? Hentai is just the EXTREME porn, the hard core (its name means along the lines of "abnormal" sexual acts). So sites like Hentai tube listing all the Japanese porn as "hentai" are wrong. BUT westerners don't seem to care on the label - the word Hentai will get them porn and porn is linked to Hentai, the two go hand in hand for non-Japanese. Yet in a Japanese magazine store, they may have different classifications, yet be in the same shelving area or mixed in together.
Well the same is said for Yaoi and Yuri, and 6 years ago when I last took anime seri…
Editor and Fan?
Well AP forums went unaware of Greg's actions over Christmas and harassment towards us. Not much justice in the world, he won "Greatest AP member", "best researcher" and "smartest members" awards in the ceremony. Which leads me to this entry.
Trying to explain to some folks how a wikia works is annoying. Trying to find a life off the wikia and still be a fan is even harder, hence why the whole fuss between me and Greg got annoying. Yet no matter how hard I explained to him, he failed to grasp why I don't particularly want to be harassed about the Wikia off site and trying to explain how the wikia works makes me doubt he is the smartest member on AP. And when he did edit he vandalized... Greatest is also doubtful because he was harassing and…
One Piece OST
I'm really a kaizoku fan, One Piece is the best and I really support and admire how Oda constructed and designed this story.. Really outstanding.. ^_^ If by chance, any of you guys know where to download One Piece OSTs, can you guys help me? thnx nakamas ^_^
War and Writing
Regarding the WB war...
Sums up what happened to the Marines when they went against Whitebeard. I'll compare this to my 4 (should have been 5) comics of "Legion of 3 Worlds" series DC comics produced.
First things first, every artist has to take note in these scenarios how big the force is their dealing with. 3 Worlds had a force of 15+ members on the three teams, making over 50 characters to deal with. And they had to fit into 5 issues (20 pages or something I don't know how big a DC comic is). One Piece had a force of approx the same amount and longer to cram it in.
So how to deal with this; switch between focus, random and mass perspectives and in both comics they pulled it off WELL.
Yet fans complain about how One Piece did it, simply beca…
"13 year old brat?"
You've seen them around the anime forums... The 13 year old hyper brat.
Half our vandals are in truth young teenagers with nothing better to do then type "poop" on every page. On forums they ask the typical "noob" questions or don't read the rules... Or act stupid.
Well, most of them are just looking for a chance to look big after all. The ones who want "in" are the forum noobs and the ones who want to make fun of you are just showing off. To veterans, this group of younger teens are an annoyance and they have no patience. Like a brother or sister who has been forced to taken along their younger sibling on a date, they get easily annoyed and loose their temper with them.
What they are are simply inexperienced and bored. They want in but …
Fangirls and their random "Desu"
Okay so I've been an anime fan for a over a decade now (I'm too lazy to truly work this out exactly plus "anime" wasn't a word until over a decade ago) and this take a look at fangirls.
Hate to say it, but having been an anime fan for this long, I'm going to throw my fellow fangirls of anime at being worst then the boys at being a fangirl. The biggest most apparent mistake for a fangirl to make is calling everyone "chan" or "sama", you try stopping them and BOY do they kick up a stink. The thing is, these titles are like Mr, Miss and Mrs, used the wrong one and you get funny faces at you. And so using "chan" for everyone who is a girl might now always be a good thing (boys can carry it too) and there are other titles for young females, s…
FUNamation
Now I know 4Kids didn't do one piece any justice and Funamation will try hard, but not get even close to what Oda has been accomplishing with the manga and anime in japanese, but the english is still okay to watch and I could see people enjoying themselves while watching One piece in english. I myself watched episode 1 through 25 in english and I didn't mind it, but the original stuff just blew me away, now my little statement here. I keep noticing throughout the wikia that people mention One piece episodes probably starting a bit before Skypeia and continuing very far into the series in english and being aired on television(check Bartholemew Kuma's page about the word bible being taken out). I wanna know who the heck gets this random mira…

Now anyone can be a Star!
Vocaloids are programs that mimicking singing... Such a lazy explanation. Look it up on wikipedia or the vocaloid wikia!
So you've got songs in your head and no singer to sing them, let me introduce the Vocaloid! It all started with Lola and Leon, two English vocaloids produced by Zero-G using Yamaha's synthesizing voice technology, but took off with the Japanese "Hatsune Miku " (translation is something like "First voice of the future") vocaloid in Vocaloid 2, the sequel program.
I look at the latest release "BIG AL" and note that things have come a long way. In the beginning of the program, the voices sound more robotic and less human, but BIG AL sounds almost like he is smiling as he sings. Yes I say "HE" because something Miku and BIG AL…
A Suggestion To Help People Like Me.
Well with a lot of subtitled versions of One Piece out there, I thought it would be helpful to have a page or a blurb or something' detailing the words that aren't translated into English in the subtitled text. Examples such as "Nakama," and "Marimo." Both are often used, but I still don't know what nakama literally means, and I only figured out Marimo by using this very Wiki. In subs like the Kaizoku subs, this is rectified to some degree at the top of the screen , but sometimes it's easy to miss. Words that aren't immediately recognizable should also be thrown in here, such as Sanji's "Mellorine!" I had to look it up on Wikipedia in order to figure out what he kept going on about. I merely think it would be helpful to those that don't kn…
Comic Styles
Another one where Sonic gets mention
Sign up to this site if you want to understand what I'm writing about, read some comics.
Basically, comics are just that, a bit of kiddie friendly fun and thats how they should be. But there tends to be a divide between countries how things should be done strange enough. Japan has manga, which to them is what a novel is to everyone else, hence why their series are often long and their comic books massive. Most American comics typically used to do it in one issue and their best stories are always done in one issue. You have one series, maybe spin offs, a comics typical lifespan for a healthy run for the US comics seems to be about 32 issues. :-/
Well there was a divide sharply between how Sonic was done…
Can Zoro ever surpass luffy?
hi.im new here so i just want to add a quick question....you already know it so i want to know if we can ever see zoro go above the power the power level of luffy.i mean zoro is always fighting the second strongest character in the series.he is seen fighting luffy(although not real)but squares off perfectly.so can we ever see this happening because just like luffy he is also seen going to the limits....i want everyones thoughts so please..
part 2 Luffys family
to add monkey. D. Dragaon is Luffys real dad and ace is luffys adopted brother. Heres a shocker gol .D. Roger is aces biologicl father and Luffys adopted dad
Luffys family
I just found out that luffys grandpa monkey D Grap tried to put luffy in the merins. He hit him to displin him.
"Tagalongs"
The term in this sense means characters who "come with the main character but aren't needed".
Of all my favorite video game characters, Sonic is the one I link most to happy memories and some of the worst ones too. I can remember at the Family Centre (before the council closed it down) waiting FOREVER for 5 mins of gameplay on Sonic 2 and was bummed by the notion I couldn't play Sonic 3 and Knuckles when they both came out. And for a long time I would watch with glee as new games came out and even newer characters enriched the Sonic universe. In the last few years I've come across the term of such characters being referred to as "tagalongs", being unneeded for the series.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa...
...What?
Okay so if we take away the other charact…
Long Series
Not to be funny on Oda's part.but there are 10 movies already and you want one every 2. OP is in its 12th year, thats almost 1 movie for every year. And what is Oda planning? Another ten years of OP? That means 5 more movies. Its not like your dealing with Marvel and DC comics here where one writer does all the writing, an artist does the sketches, another the colour, another the speech bubbles. We've got one guy and his about 4 assistants doing the job. And S. Jump mag isn't the same as how those companies works.
If Oda dies, OP dies with him. Its not like if Oda dies, another takes over which is what happens in the west. Thats although isn't always gtood. This is what happened with Michael Turner when he died and he did some beaut…
Rivals, Beyblade Style!
I can write Essays on Beyblade… Let me prove it!
Beyblade;
Or ‘How to sell an toyline in anime form right’
Well I’m only going to write one article on Beyblade on my blog and so I thought about it and I thought about it… And I couldn’t decide what to focus on, so lets just go with the flow.
Takao (Tyson) was Beyblade’s main character, a Ash Catch’em clone with a hint of Goku added to the mold. When I compare Ash and Takao I think of Ash like Peter Pan as the boy who never grows up. Oh Ash gets older, he gets more experience, but he never changes.
That’s where Takao was different. Takao DID change and he changed those around him. I like Luffy because he is in similar light to Takao here. Now firstly you must understand two versions of Tak…
The manga and myself, how it began ?
Well, like every French from my generation (yes I'm French, so sorry for the grammar faults and also some of the links are to Frensh sites), I have been introduced to Japan animation with the standards Captain Future-Albator-Goldorak and the French/Japan masterpiece Golden cities. Also later on, there was the Club Dorothée which was at almost 100% made by Japanese stuff like City Hunter, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya.
Growing up, I forgot about all that, and it just became a topic of dicussion when you would sing the old generics with your friends. On the contrary I never stop reading Bande Dessinée (yes I was one of this annoying guys who sit at the Fnac never buying an album). Well, in France, we are lucky since Bande dessinée are very popular…
Repost
Note: The following is a repeat of an old article. This no longer reflects my views of the fans of OP entirely or the site listed below. I only reposted it here to amuse people of what my views were THEN. Imagine me drunk out of my mind at the time... Except I don't drink. The third part was to be of YUGIOH and the first was of Beyblade. If there was a 4th it was to be of Naruto. There you go. I never got past part 2. Its a 'joke' meant to make you laugh but also express my opinion of a matter at the time. I would not write this like this now.
Part one was about Beyblade... Part 2 is about One Piece.

Dragonball
I was going to post this after X-mas.... Hahahahahaha... no. Due to me taking a break I'm posting this now before the 1st.
When I say I don't get it, I understand the plot and all... Its the hype.
I respect the early chapters as one of the most adventurous (be it boring) mangas. Its the era the anime called the "Z" and "GT" bits I don't care for. Okay, your forced to believe many things in the first half of Dragonball, but once it hits "Z" it becomes... Too much. It becomes too enclosed on being what its trying to be, a fighting manga.
Its not about the fillers really, but I enjoyed out of all the of the Z stage just the Androids. Well I got tired somewhat of the mangaka redesigning the SAME design of suit just slightly differently all t…

Mysterious Cities of Gold
An old 80s anime that thanks to its showing made me accept anime a little better since I could hardly deny I like anime when I watched this as a kid.
Well I can't remember a thing about each story despite watching it a dozen times but I can remember why I watched it. The intro is burned into my memories, it was the best show on at the time and it was a great storyline.
Essentially, a man saves a kid (Sebastian I think his name was) at sea from drowning at the plea of his father. Years later he and his two cronies are looking for the 7 cities of gold, the kid is left wondering what happened to his father. On their first trip to find the cities, they comes across a Native American Indian girl on board who can read the ancient rope knots tha…
Blue Sub 6
Since I have nothing else to write blogs about I'll write about an anime I've watched once a week or something. Spoilers ahoy matey's leave the good ship "Ending Approaching" if you don't want to know more. So I didn't see the need to write another article on this, its more of a ramble and a nod to what I consider THE most beautiful moment in ANY anime. The anime Blue Submarine No. 6 claims the prize for this.

Haki
Out of all the powers in One Piece, Haki seems to be turning into an ability that is going to take Luffy, and therefore the rest of the storyline into the next "level." It has been shown time and time again to have absurdly powerful effects used by powerful people.
Offense: The most obvious. Haki can be used to do anything from unleashing an "invisible" attack that knocks weaker combatants out of the picture, strengthening attacks, manipulating objects without touching them (Rayleigh's removal of Camie's neck ring) and, arguably the most powerful and important, negate the effects that a defensive devil fruit power may have (Rayleigh harming Kizaru, Gorgan Sisters huring Luffy).
Defense: Haki users can predict their future, no other way to pu…
Luffy's Mother
I Have Often Wondered Who Luff's Mother Actually Is. After A Lot of Thinking Something Just Hit Me. (Not Literally) I Got A Hint Of Who Luffy's Mother Might Actually Be. It's Not Yet been Revealed in any manga's or anywhere else. we just know that Luffy and ace are brother's and that Ace's mother's name is Portagas but we have not been told if she is actually luffy's mom too... or is ace truly, I mean actually luffy's brother. Well normal reasoning suggests that Ace is luffy's brother but something tel's me that this one lady is some how related to luffy. either she is his mother or grand mother.... Probably you are wondering who i am talking about.. Well if you have seen all of the episodes until now, you would be knowing the character. A…
Pros and cons on the English OP Wikia (IMHO as of Oct 2009)
Well I've been here for quite some time, and as it seems you've taken over the logo I suggested. ;P
But there are some parts of the wiki I do like, and some I don't. And I think it's more efficient if I use Wikia's blogging feature for that. I'll mark my review with "(++)", "(--)" etc. to point out which parts I find positive and which ones I think they need to be improved, and I'll try to be fair.
As of October 2009 this wikia has about 3,000 articles (++) that are more or less above stub level (+) and have sources (+), a well going community (++) and regular contributers that know about One Piece. (++)
But there are some parts of this wiki that make it "plain" and "less good": First one is - the skin needs some freshing up. (-) There are many German w…
Create a page on the unnamed Kid Pirate?
I'm opening a quick discussion and vpte on weather there should be a page made for the unnamed 'voodoo' member of Kid's crew, who played a prominent role in the Supernova's mini-Arc. There is already a fair amount of detailed information on the Kid Pirates page on the character, it would be logical to give this person his own page. My suggestions for his name are 'Unknown/Unnamed Kid Pirate'

My Decided Return
First of all, before anything else, I'd like to say Hello. I'm SailorShiningLight, one of your resident One Piece lovers. As I've mentioned before, I make minor edits when it comes to site-related work. Mostly grammatical edits. But, hey, I believe it's the quality and not the quantity of the work that counts. And I try my best to improve the quality of many articles, as I'm sure everyone else here does.
For the past several months, I realize I haven't been on that much. This was result of lack of english fansubs. I was also really busy this year, as in September I'll be entering high school. Anyhow, I decided to give OP another chance and have again begun viewing the series. I'm near the end of the Skypiea Saga at the moment. (I know, I fa…
