He did go full leopard at one point. Im guessing he couldnt use rokushiki techniques without being human or hybrid.

But when he went full Leopard he brutalised Luffy. It looked more effective than this air fu.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
Jack: it's simple. We kill the elephant.
It also limited the types of attacks he could use. You need proper arms and legs to use martial arts.
Awakenings for zoans basically look like Chopper when he uses his rumble ball, all the different forms, from what we can tell so far.

RAIZOU, WHERE IS HE?!
Didn't all he do was bite luffy and that's it?

No doubt in my mind that Luffy will face off against Big Mom.

Well he didn't end up winning, that's on record.
Chopper is very unusual. I think what we know about awakenings from Chopper is that it is easy for stronger forms of Zou fruits for the user to lose control. It makes sense for them to be influence by things like werewolves when it comes to this. But the forms of devil fruit are very different. A mammoth or leopard fruit is going to have different forms to a human fruit or buddha fruit. Oda does like to draw Zoans standing up holding weapons but a lot of these zoan guys are, let's face it, random goons. What he does when he shows someone like Jack fighting is going to be interesting.

Started One Piece about three years ago. I really disliked Luffy before reading the series, so that put me off it for so long.
What a big error in judgement... He's now one of my favorite characters in manga ;-;

A buddy of mine refuses to read or watch One Piece because "it's too goofy".
As for myself, I started reading One Piece in the North AmericN Shonen Jump that we had going on in Canada. It was 2003 I think, but I didn't know scans and stuff could be found online until around 2005/2006. I jumped in right at the end of the Enies Lobby arc.

I started two years ago i think? Yeah watched the anime until last year (took some good breaks sometimes) until the latest episode somewhere in Dressrosa and read the manga from there on.
I've always been an anime fan but i was always turned off by one piece's artstyle. I thought it looked too ugly to take it seriously.
If i could turn back time i would go and kick young me in the balls and force him to watch one piece.

Had a buddy rave to me for a whole summer about how One Piece was the best shit out there(He spoiled a lot of the series for me, unfortunately). I finally caved and sat down to watch it...Ended up watching, like, 10+ episodes a day until I was caught up. I think I started reading right around the time when Franky was fucking with Baby 5 and Buffalo on Punk Hazard. Now One Piece is a big part of my life, haha. I dedicate a lot of time to reading, rereading, researching, discussing, playing the games, watching the anime, movies, etc. Soon, I'll get that OP tattoo, as well...

I've yet to meet anyone who got into One Piece pre-Alabasta.
The magazine in North America started in 02 which was I think around the time Skypeia was going on in Japan.

Well I got into the Anime during Alabasta if that counts.
I was strictly an anime watcher until a few months ago when I just couldnt stand the pacing anymore and needed to know what was after. SO now i read the manga weekly.

I remember i started to read the manga when luffy goes against the 3 admirals in Marineford, not that long ago i guess.
Waiting that full month? (i think) for the timeskip was one of the most hype things i've ever lived.

I was into it the day it started here in Germany. But made a break when enies lobby was over because the channel started to milk it with reruns.
2 years later I came back and even read the Manga.. and yeah now I'm a huge OP geek.

Started Op in August 2007 the year funimation started dubbing the skypiea arc and airing on tv. After that went back back and read all the previous chapters,got into subs and now im a super fan.
I think when I started reading One Piece it had just debuted to the English scene online. At the time it was at either Alabasta or Jaya in Japan.
So was reading in the dark days of translation when scans were shit, very robotic, etc.
Yup definitely have read this thing for almost 20 years now...
I'm gonna go lie down.

I was like that, regretful. But now Oda's art style became charming in my eyes.

Definitely, but he was thinking the manga was a joke and not serious at all.
I was like, bud, it's been going on for almost 20 years and you think it doesn't have a story!?
I bought the first issue of US Shonen Jump and started from there. Wound up catching up through other means, of course.
I was thinking about Raftel. Were Shanks and Buggy on the crew that made that last voyage, or had they been on Roger's crew earlier than that and left before then?
I used to watch random OP episodes on TV. summer 2014 I was watching Captain Kuro's arc, later some Alabasta episodes, and the latest, some episodes of Jaya where a misterious dark-skin woman I hadn't seen before was part of the Strawhat crew. There are only 156 episodes dubbed in my native language, once they broadcasted all, they removed it from TV, until 4 months later, when they began from the first episodes again.
After that, november 2014, I started watching OP online from the beginning. I used to watch an average of 2 episodes per day. In november 2015 I watched the last anime episode, Law vs Trevol, and Law won.
My life was empty then, and I was tired of Dressrosa. So I started reading the comic in order to know how it finished, and finally read till the last manga episode.
It was worth watching and reading so many chapters. I love One Piece, and I love Zou arc. Once the series is over I will die happy.

This was almost the same situation, except that I knew about One Piece existence around 1999-2000 when they showed some scenes in a TV Program about weird stuff (they used to show animus debuting in those years. The program was called "Maldita sea" which translates to "Damn it").
Then about 10 years later I saw some episodes on TV on the only channel that airs anime here currently in Chile: ETCTV (it's on cable though, there aren't any channels on broadcast TV that air animu here). It was a 4kidz re-dub (jap->eng->spanish) that aired up to the Alabasta arc. What really caught my attention was the concept of devil fruits and then I searched on internet watched all the episodes marathon-like.
Been a loyal OP fan since then. I even have a "Marine" T-shirt with the Marine logo and the "Justice" (seigi) kanji's in the back and a Marine cap that I usually wear on weekends. That way only real fans would catch the reference and for everyone else would be just a T-shirt and a cap, maybe confusing "Marine" with some sort of clothes brand (^_^)

Speaking of which, I was at the mall yesterday and I saw a dude casually wearing a black cap with the Heart Pirates logo. lol
Were you brave enought to ask him if he liked OP? Sometimes when I see someone with OP references I say to them "Good T-shirt", "Good cap" or sth along those lines.
BTW, this is the T-shirt and cap I usually wear:
Cap (bought from 399animeshop)
Dry-fit T-shirt (I vectorized the design myself, copied from another sources I don't remember currently, likely google images)
I also own a key-chain
a mug
and a Luffy wanted poster (post timeskip, pre dressrosa arc)
The last three I bought them when I went to Mugiwara Store in Shibuya Parco in 2014 (Tokyo)

Other means
MSN groups were the shit back in the day.
And I don't think we know for sure. My guess is no because Buggy probably would have mentioned it at some point.

Great adquisitions!
On my country (Chile) i've seen people wearing Law's clothes and symbols lots of times, it could probably be the most popular character here lol.

My first run in with One Piece was the 4kids dub, i remember watching te Captain Kuro arc thinking how badass he was. Bought One Piece Round the Land for the PS2 next, The game was in Japanese so i had no idea how to save. I only got up to Captain Kuro boss fight in the game aswell.
This is what the game was like btw
Fastforward and i see a clip of Luffy post timeskip dodging light bullets and one shotting a pacifista and i was like "damn have to get back to this".

I also bought in my last trip to Japan a Mera-Mera no Mi which had snacks inside of it (on a Jump Shop in Nagoya)
A (used) Blackbeard figure (bought in a Nakano Broadway's Mandarake)
And a Sabo Figure (IIRC it was also in a Nakano Broadway store but this was brand new)
Almost half of my luggage space was figures, LOL ^_^

He was on a table talking with friends so I didn't want to bother. But I would compliment him if he was just passing by. lol
Nice stuff, mate! That wanted poster is awesome to have on your room.
Yeah, but I haven't removed the plastic cover since I don't want it to get dirty.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
My best friend introduced OP to me my Freshman year of HS, when I was 15. I initially hated it for the weird art, but the episode he showed me (the Laboon episode with Crocus' hilarious gag) was so different from any other show I'd seen that it hooked me. Kaizoku had only just gotten to Arabasta at that point. By the time I caught up with the manga, Water 7 was brand new. Binging the series like that is one of my favorite memories, no joke.
I also love Skypiea to death, so the loooooooooong wait to seeing it subbed had a huge payoff.

Usopp: I-If it's a fight you want, t-then you've got one! We have a cannon on our side!
Crocus: Don't, or someone might end up dead...
Sanji: Oh? And just who would that be...?
Crocus: Me.

I have a two-and a half year old son. He's changed my life around completely. And now he's big enough that he can say his ABCs, count past 10, put together jigsaw puzzles on his own, and other cool stuff.
And he was born 6 months after the Straw Hats landed on Dressrosa. Great googly moogly.
