Who wouldn't!

Hey, the guardsman thingy suggested he do, so I'm just wondering.
Should I pull the trigger and buy One Piece boxsets 2 and 3??
I have been away from the manga and anime in about a couple of years or even more. I resumed watching the anime a few weeks ago in the Boa Hancock/Impel Down/Ace arc, but in the manga I was caught up until they got to Dressrosa. In the anime I skipped all the Ace arcs I don't know why.
Should I buy the two boxsets for Xmas? I got the first one, but I have a financial goal to make by end of year, so I am not sure whether to buy them now or not. They are on sale over at Amazon Canada.
Disclosure: I have been watching One Piece since 2001, when I was 11.
Do it, is worth it and those boxsets have great extras

The eyepatch character is going to be someone extremely important in my opinion.
Peg leg was Zeff, hook hand was Crocodile, etc. My money is on Vegapunk.
it's gonna be luffy or blackbeard.
Yes it originated from NF.

Either way, we'll know One Piece will be nearing its final years when that character shows up.

Wait, what's this about an eyepatch character?
Oda stated that he wants to reserve the eyepatch for a special character.

Wait. Pedro's former pirate crew was named the Nox Pirates?

I've wondered if there would be any Marine involvement here. No way does a giant alliance like this go completely under the radar from the WG.
Granted, as Veelk can attest, the WG is one of the most incompetent groups I've ever seen in any form of media, so maybe not.
And nox is just the Latin word for night. Wonder how that relates to Pedro?
It's going to be

Don't get Veelk started on Kelly Kelly in WWECW.
Wasn't Pedro also the leader of the night squad crew on Zou? Seems like the night is his area of expertise.
Yeah, and with the former Sun pirates being Big Mom's underlings right now and already primed to make some sort of waves this arc whenever Jinbei reappears, I wouldn't mind some sort of team up later on. Jinbei and Pedro remind me of each other a lot too. Both are noble warrior archetypes.

For a lot of those old gods they were not much more than figurative representations of the concept. Pedro is a member of the night guardians on Zou so it seems to be related to the Mink myths. Since these gods are used as code names for the ancient weapons it might actually be some reference to them and the secret history.

Im on episode 727 and OMG when will this arc end? Its bad enough that half the crew hasnt been seen in like 70 episodes but you get crappy characters that take their spot in the fights, except Bartolemeo and Cavendish. Where is Burgess? Why cant Sabo just fly to where Luffy is and help him fight? Whats going on?
This is the manga thread.
But to answer your question, 19 more episodes.
It somehow ran longer than the manga because fuck Toei.

Oops sorry. Is there another OT for One Piece?
Here's the anime thread
It's not as active as most fans have given up on it and stick with the manga. Going to YouTube for fight scenes.
Personally luffy, zoro and sanji have't been invovled in anything interesting action wise since Time skip.
Franky,ussop and side characters like kryros,sai(rest of the gladitors), minks,doffy family have made those guys look boring as fuck.
To be honest, I've just been watching some important scenes in Youtube (speeches, fights and the likes) and I'll probably reread Dressrosa arc in the holidays. One Pace project is currently editing that arc, so I may watch it again once they're done with it.
It won't help with some of the shitty animation, but at least it'll improve the pace quite a bit.
Well, Luffy and Law had a fight against Doflamingo. I quite liked that fight, TBH.
But yeah, you are right. I think Oda drove himself to a corner with the time skip. They had been training for 2 years in order to be strong enough to fight in the New World. If they had had any problems fighting against minor characters, it would have made no sense when they finally took down a Yonko.
The alternative were incoherent power levels, which IMO is the worst you can do in a battle manga. And some of the characters introduced were cool anyway. I quite like Law (as an ally), Leo, Cavendish and Bartolomeo. I don't mind Sabo either (even though I think him fighting with a pipe is a bit stupid). I agree that Dressrosa was a bit too long. It focused on two things:
A) Giving Luffy an army.
B) Hinting quite a lot of future arcs.
People compare it to Alabasta quite a bit and I think they are right. The big difference is that Crocodile was the first big bad Luffy fought and his crew was in a similar power level to most of his underlings. Doffy, while a really cool character, is just an underling of the real big bad (Kaido), so his crew couldn't be as strong as the Mugis. Otherwise the Strawhats would have been wrecked as soon as they set foot in Wano.

Zoro and Sanji, debatable.
Luffy has had a good amount with Caesar, Chinjao, Doffy and Fujitora.
I've been thinking about promoting the One Pace episodes on here and the Redux OT, but I'm not sure if linking to it would be okay on GAF.
According to Jump Festa 2017 official website, there will be a special section called "ONE PIECE 20th anniversary exhibition".
- Oda's original drawings including impressive OP scenes will be displayed.
- Oda talks about the memories about these 20 years' serialization (recorded audio, probably).
- Oda's new drawing and a message for Jump Festa will be displayed.
- The successive editors will reveal a secret episode about Oda.
- The protagonists in Jump will horse around with Luffy.
- Some collaboration drawing will be displayed.
- Stamp Rally will be held.
* A stamp rally is a gimmick usually used to entice visitors at a conference or fair to visit every vendor. Upon entering, the visitor is given a sheet with blank spaces where the stamps will go.
As they visit each vendor, their sheet is stamped. When the sheet is full, they turn it in for a prize or entry into a raffle. The rubber stamps at these events are usually very simple designs, but can on occasion be quite elaborate.
All from Sandman.

Self-promoting isn't encouraged by GAF rules, but I don't think there would be a problem saying every once in a while how the project is progressing.
Like saying "they are now doing the Impel Down arc", or telling people they've adapted the latest Zou episode. I don't know.
