That's too bad
Jimbei
says there are things he needs to take care of first, but that after he completes those task if the Straw Hats still want him he'll join
Too busy for its own good, really uneven, very sporadic in a not good way and the pacing is plodding. Enemies, new characters, the location, various plot devices and arc hooks (yeh, 'that' one, which overstays its welcome almost as soon as its introduced) weren't all that engaging or exciting to me.
Some interesting future implications and impact to the larger plot, but its shaping up to be my most disliked arc thus far (shame to start the new world off on such a dull note)

I've said it before but a fishman joining the strawhats would just make so much sense as they can breath underwater and help the devilfruit users out.
In case of Jimbei it would also be a nice fit as there's no martial arts fighter in the straw hat group (besides maybe Sanji but he only fights with his feet, as well as Kung Fu Chopper).
Just his personality seems a bit too boring for the group.
Robin is also a more serious/normal character, but she still is funny as hell when she makes her crazy statements/comments ("maybe he was killed in a horrible way" etc. etc.).
Let's see if it will actually happen.
(Although another female, a strong physical fighter, would be nice as well)
Do you guys think there will be more characters joining? It seems it would get very impractical at some point as they would have to spend time on each person fighting some equally strong enemy.
For the second half of the OP story I can only see Luffy getting some pirate crews under his control that defend some territories etc. while the core gang is away. There's that nice build-up so far that he can win the hearts of people so subsequently he would get an army at some point, no? (and he needs it anyway if he wants to mess with the other Emperors?).

wow. first let me say i never saw this thread before and i will be subscribing to it now. second if you enjoy watching the anime but not reading the manga then you are not getting the full story. the one piece manga is where the story truly is. yea it might be too much at times and you will have to read certain chapters twice maybe even thrice, but thats what a good manga requires. you want something simple that is easy to understand go read
. thirdly the crew will have at least one more person added to it. Luffy said that the crew would be 10 not including himself.so if you count the ship then there is none left but who knows.

So I just introduced my little brother to One Piece, after 4 episodes he had to go to bed for school tomorrow and complained "ugh all I'm going to do is think about what happens next" I hope I didn't just kill his productivity :X
How old's your brother? I figured most kids would just toss this aside due to the art and go for gutter trash like Bleach, Naruto or FT. Good on him!

He's a 15 year old high school sophomore, he's an odd kid who finds himself torn between his dudebro desires (all his friends play Madden/CoD/Fifa/Halo on 360) and his nerdy gaming/anime interest from my sister and I (he loves Fire Emblem, Ace Attorney, DBZ, Death Note, etc). Right now he's been getting decent grades due to poor study habits (would rather play games/watch tv/etc) hence my fear I got him addicted to one piece when he was just starting to get his grades up.
Dude, you just RUINED his life. It'll be all about ONE PIECE from now till the day he dies!
Haha, you just put him 200 hours behind in his studies, poor guy.

As a member of Team Sabo, I strongly believe Sabo will be the next straw hat. I am still vehemently praying for his appearance someday! I need my SL of ASL, since I couldnt get my AL.
Jimbei is an awful choice and would already ruin the crew. He's like Usopp tier. I think what they need is another swordsman, as it would greatly complement Zoro and the combat ability of the strawhats as the strong trio may no doubt be burdened supporting the entire combat ability of the crew as they venture into the New World.
They already have Brook as the second swordsman, and Jimbei is Usopp tier lolwut? What's an Usopp tier!?
It's 'Superhero tier'. He is Sogeking, after all.

What?! But Usopp isn't from Sniper Island!
Sniper island is in our hearts.....I think XD

Maybe it's because I never watched much anime but I never got the weird art style vibe from OP. Sure, the anime looks weird half the time now but in the early days I didn't notice a difference from other shows I watched back in '02.

I dont think you can ever have too many swords. Most of the exciting moments in One Piece have involved swords afterall. Usopp tier is like chopper, nami tier, you know, the weak ones that get all the boring fights and moments, and ungood appearances.
You can in One Piece, which is all about variety.
Quality over quantity man, if you want to have everyone wave around swords, watch Blea-... oh...
And you're saying a 300 million Shichibukai Jinbei is on the same level as... Usopp, again, wut!?
It has a lot of stretch and squash compared to most anime. The backgrounds are very Toei, which still feels very much stuck in the late 80's and early 90's in terms of style (but less so with the newer CG). I personally love it, but most are used to much more modern styles, colors, patterns, shading, etc.

ep 566 - 567
Both episodes were pretty goood. 566, I liked Hody's attack with the water sharks, I think the whole scene looked really good with the way they were handle and luffy dodging. I think the way they drew luffy for the scene was kind of awkward going on the vertical for it though.
Though why they make it seem like Luffy was struggling.

In news I don't think anyone saw coming, Avril Lavigne will be contributing music to the upcoming movie One Piece Film Z. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...l-lavigne-contributes-one-piece-film-z-themes
... I am not sure what to think.
... I am not sure what to think.
You're supposed to think "Avril Lavigne still exists?" I think.
Sorta a random question, but was it ever explained why Luffy doesn't shrink down after using Gear 3rd anymore? Is it due to Armament Haki or something?
Haha...wha?
Well, as long as it's just in the OST and not in the middle of the actual film, I'm good.

Yeah, I can see why the king reacted the way he did given her proportions during that scene.
So Shirahoshi herself is one of the ancient weapons. Interesting. Makes me wonder if Alabasta's Pluton could have been a person as well.

Party episodes are truly some of the most entertaining in all of OP

Three quarters through the episode I doubled checked the name of the episode;
"Revealed Secret - The Truth of Ancient Weapons"
Yep.... any time now will be good.
But then Robin drops it all on us in the last 3 mintues.

Yup that sounds like typical Toei trolling.

Just preparations for an official One Piece hentai movie.
Has to be canon/seamless with the anime.

The effects of the Hana Hana no Mi allows her to double body parts. All the other characters got better control over their powers in those 2 years, why should she be left out...
Too much boob for me

One Piece hard to get into?
Yes and no.
If you watch from the beginning, not really. It gets into a good steady pace only a few episodes in. The problem being, starting from the beginning when there are over 550 episodes...
The post timeskip OT is We Go! by Kitadani Hiroshi. There is no word on what the new OT will be, but it's quickly approaching the time they should be changing it.
