Someone pick some Pudding art for me to make a new avatar. I like my avatars to have no backgrounds like my current one, with a full head similar to Imperial Bishop's.

I need art!

 

[Veelk]

This is all the good stuff I found. If I come across more, I'll post it. You'll have to edit the background out of it, but I'm sure someone in the Avatar thread will be kind enough to do it for you if you don't know how.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

No no, official stuff.

These two pages are so underrated. Luffy's insanity, "what a crazy fella" Luffy saying he was going to rip his arms off in five seconds to rescue Nami. "I don't want either option!" "Stop being so difficult!"

I couldn't stop giggling when I read them earlier today and I can't stop giggling with laughter now. Fucking hilarious. The absurdity of it all.

This might be the best chapter of One Piece I've ever read. It has EVERYTHING great about the series in the span of one chapter. GOAT.

 

[GaimeGuy]

How would an awakened mem-mem fruit work?

Would the user be able to psychically alter peoples' memories within a certain proximity to them?

 

[Veelk]

No no, official stuff.

Ah. Well, then you just pick whatever page looks great to you and do the same thing, just send it over to someone in the avatar thread.

I'd personally recommend the image of her editing memories, but some people might consider that spoilers.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Yonji's face is weird, but the rest of this is cool.

I like this Pudding picture, because it seems to show a bit of her real personality without being in your face about it. Spoiler free, accurate, and oddly sinister.

Also, it's funny how there's another Pudding in the OP world. Pudding Pudding. Pudding redux, if you will.

Spoiler

Even though he showed up first

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Claimed for my new avatar Sol!

Lol I thought my avatar I just changed to was a fine balance, where at least I can say it's a literal wink to manga readers who know what Pudding is really like.

If Jinbei is finally joining the crew then I guess it's really time for the Strawhats to seriously go after the Yonkou. They've reached the level where Oda is allowing them to have a Shichibukai as a crewmate.

Does Jinbei instantly become the 2nd or 3rd most powerful member of the crew?

 

[NHarmonic.]

I'm loving these Pudding theories and that would definitely be another Goda moment.

But as far as brokeness go, her power is not even close to be as game breaking as Sugar's. That was the most absurd power of all animes ever made and she went down like a scrub.

Both times were glorious, some of the best Usopp moments ever.

I would say he is weaker than Zoro and probably on par with Sanji. A bit weaker than him on the surface, since Sanji has a lot of mobility, and stronger underwater.

He must have Haki too. Otherwise his battle against Ace wouldn't have ended in a tie.

Both times were glorious, some of the best Usopp moments ever.

Sometimes Oda goes a bit overboard making him a coward, but Usopp is awesome. He is surrounded by a bunch of crazy weirdos that fight against other groups of crazy weirdos, and despite how bad things often go he always gets his shit together and manages to become an important piece in most arcs. Nothing beats him screaming "I've always been negative" in his battle against Perona.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Sanji = Air Force

Jinbe = Navy

Zoro = Army

 

[Dandte]

Sanji = Air Force

Jinbe = Navy

Zoro = Army

Luffy = Leerooooy Jeeeeenkins

 

[NSESN]

Honestly if that was the case how would she know to reverse such a thing on herself?

Okay here is the deal. Jello keeps the film with him, when it's needed the he puts the film in Pudding head. Jello is bascially a memory keeper.

My theory is super good and have no chance of failure. I would make Goda himself proud.

 

[MCD]

Why was Reiju all silent though? Feels like she got a plan or something.

She was on team Pudding too, the silence is disappointment

 

[RalchAC]

Nah, she is like "I don't give a crap. Resistance is futile. If Franky could join the crew after stealing them 300 million berries and beating up Usopp, everybody can".

 

[everyday math]

Luffy = Leerooooy Jeeeeenkins

*spits out water*

 

[Rebel Leader]

"God ussop isn't here"

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

She's let down because she wanted to be the one to torment Sanji after revealing that she had only been putting on an act.

 

[KillerBEA]

Luffy = Leerooooy Jeeeeenkins

Laughing way too hard

 

[BobTheFork]

Yeah, I'm convinced Pudding erases Zeff from Sanji's memory and he stops giving a fuck and goes full beast mode until his memory is fixed.

If not, then it should have happened.

 

[Chase17]

I've only recently caught up so I was wondering about this. When Usopp unlocks eagle vision and snipes sugar was that him having observation Haki or was it something else?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

It's observation haki

Yeah, it's pretty much observation haki.

Sidenote: The most recent chapter, that ending... oh my!

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I love how the anime reminded the audience In that film gold special that usopp had it lol.

 

[Ray Down]

Though the monster trio looks angry and ready to fight and Usopp looks like a dog who just heard the door open.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Though the monster trio looks angry and ready to fart and Usopp looks like a dog who just heard the door open.

Lol well he was confused he said "Hmm I feel like something's there"

Which reminds me..Uhhh does the crew even know

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

I feel like there's a split between manga readers and anime readers. The anime teases stuff like this and meanwhile the manga has yet to really show off observation Haki besides Usopp shooting Sugar and the girl on Sky Island.

 

[Ray Down]

I don't think the crew really cares.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

I don't think the crew really cares.

I mean they probably should. Helping their sniper/ship gunman out with that would benefit them greatly

Rebecca was literally all about Observation Haki.

 

[Ray Down]

Rebecca was literally all about Observation Haki.

And being the worse dressed female in the manga.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Rebecca was literally all about Observation Haki.

Still like her fighting style regardless of everything else too

 

[Man God]

And being the worse dressed female in the manga.

Screw the haters, Rebecca for 10th Strawhat. Turn the Sunny around and pick her up.

 

[Ray Down]

No she would be the worst, rather have carrot.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Rebecca could have been great, but Oda just completely dropped the ball with her.

 

[Ray Down]

What would have been great is that Oda gave her actual clothes for the arc...

Its like the most fan servicy oda got and I really don't like it. It looks more like an masami obari design.

 

[Bandini]

Pudding is such a hater, haha. I was cracking up when I reread the chapter.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

Rebecca was literally all about Observation Haki.

I forgot about that. So observation Haki is basically the ability to sense someone's presence, attacks, and other stuff? I never thought it was the same with Rebecca even though Luffy points it out because I thought observation was mostly about sensing people (like mantra) not necessarily being able to dodge their attacks. I just find observation Haki confusing I guess.

Extremely talented observation/"mantra" users predict attacks like Enel and Rebecca did. For most people it works like a weak form of spider sense.

Luffy predicted Micocks attack in Marineford with his hand being chopped off.

Man I need to re-read OP from the beginning.

How are the OP bundle books from Viz? Are the individual volumes still the way to go?

 

[Man God]

Luffy predicted Micocks attack in Marineford with his hand being chopped off.

Luffy is seemingly endlessly gifted when it comes to Haki. He's got all three forms and the sky is the limit. He's been doing weird instinctual things since the beginning but that was the only time they pointed it out.

It was probably just to show more of the utility of Haki since Luffy doesn't show it again and that entire arc and what to follow shows of Haki.

 

[Chase17]

It's observation haki

Observation haki

Yeah, it's pretty much observation haki.

Thanks! Makes sense that what is.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

You know thinking about it..There has to be more to conquer haki right? I mean if we compare

Armament-Used as a defensive shield,Used as an offense enhancement for both the body and weapons, bypasses devil fruit abilities.

Observation- ability to sense the presence of someone, read moments,see Aura's.

Conqueror-Overwhelm an opponent with a stronger will, as we've seen with shanks apparently it can cause destruction.

I guess we need to see Shanks fight to get a better idea of what it can do

Maybe its mastery gives you a geass like power to assert your will over others/nature.

I mean so far all its shown is knock out people are cause them to run away.

 

[Man God]

Might end up being the explanation for Luffys shonen main character power of getting people to follow him.
