I was always confused about this...why was it rumored that Robin sunk 6 ships as a child? That never happened...

Fun episode. Once again it was one of those where I was kind of in awe at the flashbacks since I hadnt seen them animated. Nico Robins seemed powerful.

Next one should be the last before the timeskip.
Assuming that there's no retrospective filler episode.

I'm up to chapter 29, seems like a light hearted manga, but I just can't see to take any of it seriously, luffys made of rubber? doesn't that kinda make him invincible, I'm not getting into it much at the moment

Nope. The most basic thing is he can't swim. Just keep reading.

You should keep on reading it starts slow but gets much better later on.
Luffy is far from invincible you not see the really crazy guys yet .
If you can't take the jokes , art style or quirkiness of some chars that not going to change so it might not be for you .
Luffy's totally vulnerable to being cut, and even blunt attacks can harm him if there's enough power behind it. The East Blue arc does make him look pretty invincible though.UnblessedSoul said:
Just stick with it. OP starts out a little slow for some people but once the gang makes it on to the Grand Line (Spoilers: They go to the Grand Line) things start picking up fast.

If you think this is filler you're going to be sad when actual filler inevitably shows up. It's been forever since we've had a bunch of filler episodes.

Even if there were real filler episodes again, as far as I'm concerned the anime tells the full story while the manga is cut ;P
Uchip said:
I lol'd.
It's really a shame they took the DBZ route to filler. I'd much rather they keep the non filler episodes fast paced and awesome, and give us huge filler arcs between arcs to pad it out. It may be painful watching week after week, but it's worth it in the long run.
Now we will just have to wait for One Piece Kai in 10 years. Have you ever tried to watch Thriller Bark? Impel down? Jesus, sooooooooo slow.

Impel Down was considered slow? I remember that was the first arc that I started in the anime after rushing through the entire manga.
Technically, none of this is filler. Stretched out and poorly paced? sure, but not filler.Uchip said:
EDIT: Does havbe to be between Naruto style filler hell and DBZ pacing? why can't the show just switch to a seasonal approach? Instead stretching Thriller Bark's 48 chapters into 45 episodes (good god, just typing that out makes it sound so much worse...), commission it as a 26 episode season and then take 5 months off. You'll end up with a faster paced show and could probably save money that way too.

I dont know, I kinda hated all that stuff in the beginning. Now it's reason why im still watching One Piece even though I gave up on every other anime/mangagundamkyoukai said:
You really want One Piece to use a Bleach style "15 episodes of canon -> 25 episodes of filler" method? Really? There's a reason why Naruto and Bleach have had their TV ratings tank over time despite high manga readership and popularity while One Piece's TV ratings remain near the top of the charts.Anth0ny said:
1 chapter = 1 episode is a way better alternative, for the most part. It's not without its flaws and some parts can drag, but overall I'd much rather have the One Piece I actually want to see on a weekly basis rather than have a bunch of crap for 4 months before we get back to something tolerable again.

Simple because OP brings in allot of money .
You have a show that is watch by millions of people every week just think about the advertising money they making .
Also with OP being a kid show it going off and on might not keep the viewership they have now.
MetatronM said:
Yeah, don't really care about tv ratings. As long as the manga is selling 2.5 million+ copies oer volume, I'm pretty sure One Piece is doing fine.
Well, that's the thing. This isn't the One Piece I actually want to see on a weekly basis. I pretty much tune in to the anime to see how they do certain scenes. As opposed to watching it for what is it. Bad pacing suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. I'd take filler arcs any day.

Yeah when it's all and done filler arcs can be skipped easily. The dragged on episodes cannot because all of it is dragged on.Anth0ny said:
Anime and Manga certainly have different pacing requirements. What can take half a chapter in the manga may only require 2 minutes in an anime.
I think the anime is almost ahead enough at this point that they could probably fit 1-2 chapters into the anime. Of course it'll catch up eventually and we'd get filler...

So I've always heard that One Piece was, at its core, a kids show and/or a show whose target audience was kids. And I always followed this notion since a little blood, a couple curses, and some cartoon violence is all in good fun. And I know that this is also a show that has managed to attract an audience that spans practically all ages, and I'm sure the producers are aware of this and will make some nods their way in the show from time to time. But holy mother of gumu gumu was I genuinely shocked by ep 341:
I mean, I really don't think it's some cultural clash that's causing me to just simply misunderstand the significance (or lack thereof) of the scene, because I'm no stranger to this. I dunno, I feel like the way I phrased this post makes me come off as a little over-dramatic and that I'm making a bigger deal than it probably is, but it still didn't sit right with me. I'd love to hear what gaf thought of it, or if gaf really didn't think much of it. I need some food for thought.
the scene wherein Absalom assaults a naked Nami in the shower room. Even though steam censored everything, it came right out of left field for me and the way it went down left me perturbed. Not so much the amount of her skin that was shown, but moreso the way he grabbed her and forced her into a submissive position, while she was naked.
