Yea, it is kind of weird to put something major like that right on the cover.

Wow. He actually fights all three admirals in this one.
It still bothers me that they decided to dub Strong World now, when Brook's not even introduced yet. People who are watching the dub and only the dub are going to be SUPER confused.
Hell,

I still think that cover is okay. If I hadn't seen the episodes yet I'd just assume it was the end of the arc and the Going Merry is getting a little more recognition. I mean, we see the ship fall and break. Seeing a picture of it on fire isn't going to make me think it's making a return at the end of Enies Lobby.
I got Season 5 Volume 3 in today. Enies Lobby really goes crazy.
Here's the trailer for Season 5 Volume 4. http://www.funimation.com/one-piece/trailer/season-five-voyage-four/7908298

One Piece - Episode of Nami
I started watching this because I was bored, and I have to say that I was glad I was bored. It was a really nice special, and really summed up the Arlong Arc in a nutshell. It took all the comedy parts of the arc out like when Luffy put Arlong's teeth in his mouth or Usopp being chased by Choo for a very long time (they shortened this part up a ton which I'm glad because it lasted like 2-3 episodes). I kinda liked that to be honest, it really made it more dramatic and powerful.
Animation was really good, and holy moly at that Sanji kicking part. They really outdid themselves on Sanji and Zoro's final attacks on their fights! Luffy's looked cool too, actually his was the best.
Sometimes I always forget just how bad Nami's past is, but seeing this really reminded me of that.
One Piece Nami Fan-Service Special (Glorious Islands)
I heard this was a special 15min special pre-quel of Film Z so I gave it a watch.
First off this isn't really called Nami Fan-Service Special, but that's really all it is. It's just 5mins of looking at Nami in a swimsuit, 5min of watching Franky, Luffy, Zoro, Brooke, and Chopper imagining food, and 5min of Usopp, Sanji, and Robin discussing Usopp's new invention. Nothing great but it was still a nice little Strawhats antics special on their ship.

Are we allowed to talk about the movies here?
Why did they have to make the strawhat crew so weak in their first confrontation with Z in the One Piece Z film? just to prove how strong the Z guy and his crew was? surely they have handled guys way worse than the plant dude before, why didn't Franky just use his fire breath to burn the damn plant away and come on, he's a huge cyborg, and surely Brook could have just sliced the vines to pieces in a heart beat, never mind Luffy fighting like he was still in season 1, without his 2nd gear and all his special moves, it's kinda dumb how they make them look like total rookies every now and then in the series, despite all they've learned and experienced.
and what a journey, i caught up with the anime yesterday and it hasn't been many weeks since i started watching this thing, too bad i have to wait for a new episode like everybody else now instead of marathoning multiple episodes a day.

Got this package today! Got the most recent books as well as One Piece Blue, Green and Yellow. All three of these books are holographic. That's kind of cool I suppose although it also makes them more fragile. I also successfully managed to put Green backside-up in this photo. It has such a natural backside.
My collection (excluding the big Colour Walk 2 which I have to put somewhere else). So 67 and 68 are the first books that I had to import from the UK, and they are actually a little bit larger than my old books so I can't fit them next to 66. This is a temporary solution I suppose. I'll have to re-organize the collection

Thanks!
I bought them from Amazon UK. They're all less than £10 each with free shipping to Sweden and a bunch of other countries in Europe. Do note that they're not available in English as far as I know. I bought them in German, because the German vocabulary is not too different from Swedish and English, especially not compared to French and Japanese. Although of course having them in English would be much better.
No idea where to get them in the US though.

No Oda interview???
bit of a fail
bit of a fail
From what I can tell, Oda is a reclusive figure. He doesn't give too many interviews and there's very few pictures of him out there.
Too busy drawing up the chapters probably. He don't got time to be sociable and shit!

Taking a photo takes like ten seconds though.

Professional photos take quite a bit of time, even ignoring the amount of prep work and dressing up needed beforehand.

Would have been nice for him to show his appreciation for his international fans.
I guess he is just worried about his privacy and being mobbed in Japan

Finished Fishman Island in the manga. Well, at least it didn't take me as long to get through as the anime stuff. But really there's still some stuff to like there. It's a decent arc. Now into Punk Hazard and new stuff
Fishman Island is definitely a lot better when you marathon it. Well, only in the manga. The anime is a chore to get through thanks to the 1:1 pacing.
Well dang. I was not ready for this episode. Same thing happened in the manga. Art was all over the place (weird since they usually nail the art in important scenes) but who cares.
Mocha's reaction trying to justify why they ate the candies was what got me. She needed to be told it ain't her fault, it's just crazy man. That's not right.

Pumped up for the anime now. Non-stop amazing episodes for a long time coming. Hold onto your hats folks.
I don't want to overhype the new arc but it has been pretty fantastic so far.

This next arc is already one of my faves. Going up there with Sabaody and Enies.

Marco has a really cool zoan type fruit. All flying zoan types in general seem really cool. I wanna be able to fly! Also, zoan fruit users heal faster than others.
Logia is definitely the best though.
I forgot about him. He ate a mythical Zoan fruit, same with Sengoku. Their powers seem to borrow aspects from Paramecia/Logia fruit though which makes them cooler. Sengoku's even has him turn into a big golden Buddha.
I guess the ones I find lame are the ones like shown in the episode with people turning into apes and bulls or whatever. Meh.

Dalton is my least favorite character in the series. His Bison fruit doesn't help.

either way thats going to be a crazy arc of the strawhats versus an army of zoan users...

Wow. Nice collection.
Edit: Anyways I just watched One Piece Strong World, and it was/is awesome.
The OP Wiki says the only (canon) ones are Marco's and Sengoku's.
True, but I wonder how many Luffy can just put down instantly with Conqueror's Haki.
Didnt they categorize Drake Xs fruit as "ancient Zoan" or something? i always thought of zoan as having three types (normal, ancient and mythical) and i dont know where else i could have gotten that from.

Nope -- Dinosaurs excited once, therefore they're not myths. Then again what exists or not in One Piece is nothing we can be sure of.
Anyway, his Zoan is an ancient Zoan.
Thanks! And yes, Strong World is awesome :>
There are:
- Carnivorous Zoan
- Ancient Zoan
- Mythical Zoan
- Artificial Zoan
I know way too much about One Piece, haha.

+ normal/non-carnivorous Zoan of course
I think an army of Zoan users could work well. They don't all have to be element forces like Logias. At the moment we have basically tons of henchmen that are just... there. Sure, relatively and in masses can be pretty strong, but imagine an army of Lucci-level Zoans...
Haven't read the Manga, but I'm curious about the artificial fruits. How they work when you usually have a transfer of the ability from 1 fruit to user to 1 fruit if the user dies. In the scene of the Zoan army there were quite a few people with the same form which normally can't happen.

The thing I fear from an army of Zoan users is power creep. One Piece does a pretty good job of curbing that, an Admiral would probably be able to stomp the entirety of the Straw Hat crew in a no-escape fight. There should be a fight soon that doesn't end one-sided soon to allay my fears.

I'm conflicted on where Crocodile goes in the power chart :/
I know Luffy beat him way back when but Croc is still very powerful and they showed that well in the Marineford arc. Now I know we haven't seen him in the New World yet so maybe he also got stronger during those 2 years, but who knows.

Crocodile was always very powerful, he's just underrated because Luffy defeated him relatively early on. I think people forget that Luffy would've died fighting him if it wasn't for Robin, and that it was almost a fluke that he discovered Croc's weakness.

Yeah, I think Oda screwed himself when he kept making enemies insanely more and more powerful and also raising the bounties more and more. Considering that Luffy could beat Crocodile all the way back then, I can only imagine how easy it would be to defeat him now. Crocodile seems to be the weakest of all the warlords (current and former), CP9 and also probably weaker than all or most of the supernovas.
Crocodile wouldn't stand a chance against a strong haki user.
