like i said, he gives vague general ideas that could be anything, Laboons crew could have been anyone that paper could have been anything and NEITHER ended up being a major plot point

Foreshadowing is generally kind of like that.
It's not foreshadowing if Dragon shows up in the first issue and is all like, "Hey, Luffy, I'm the leader of the Revolutionarys in the New World, also I'm your dad!"
If its not vague or general than its just telling you the thing rather than suggesting or hinting.

Im with forikorder, (wat). I like one piece, it is well written, but it doesn't foreshadow well. Oda just leaves lose ends which can be tied up at any point, or never. That isn't foreshadowing, it just gives the illusion of foreshadowing.
Usops lies are foreshadowing, but of very little importance, none of them really matter to the plot. They also probably weren't foreshadowing when they were written, just things Oda decided would be amusing to reference later on.
One piece is great, but dont try to make it something its not!

None of you are Oda, none of you know what's planned and what isn't. Stop speculating like fools.

Did you just tell fans to stop speculating about story because they don't have a gods eye perspective? :S
There are such things as good an bad interpretations of evidence, and the discussion to work out which is which can be fun and enlightening

foreshadowing is highlighting something so that the reader realises its going to be something important without them realising why, its not supposed to be obvious or reveal anything but at the same time should still be specific
making a characters parentage vague and then never mentioning that its vague, or pointing out that its vague or drawing attention to that in any way is not foreshadowing
if people had asked Sanji about his family and him get nervous/angry/dodge the question THAT would be foreshadowing, instead it is literally never mentioned ever and the closest it ever came to being discussed was when he mentioned he used to live in a different ocean and that was only to explain why he knew the story and noone said/thought/mentioned anything like "its wierd for a normal person to switch between oceans like that" instead everyone acted like it was no big deal
if someone had recognized Sanji the first time they met and said something like "you couldnt be related to those guys could you" that would be foreshadowing
instead his family randomly pops into existance completely out of nowhere

Forikorder thats not how it works.

Yes a lot of planning, but Sanji is pulled out of nowhere honestly. Being vague does not mean he 'planned' it. Must have much more body to it.

Just noticed the germa dude has that Sanji eyebrow lol, can't believe I missed that on my first read ^^U

Remember that Lola gave the SH crew a vivre card to her mother in the grand line? might be her. Meh, don't think so. Coz when she gave the vivre card, her crew said that her mama was someone very important and powerfull in the new world (or smthg along this line). So it has to be big mom.

I said to stop speculating about what in the story was planned and what wasn't. Unless you ask Oda, chances are you're horribly wrong.

your complete dismissal of my argument without any actual reason is getting old

I would say that Oda gives very subtle clues that could mean a lot of things. Then later on, we find out what those clues actually mean and how it all fits together. I'm not sure if it's still considered foreshadowing or not. It's at least something similar to foreshadowing, but more vague.
Thus, his manga is open to a lot of different reasoned guesses, and to me that's actually part of the fun of reading One Piece, trying to guess what will happen next. The problem is that the clues are so vague that the guesses are almost always horribly wrong. Still fun to try and probably part of the reason why there is so much One Piece discussion out there.
Like, a common theory is that Sanji has two older brothers. If you don't know why, try to figure it out. That one isn't too hard if you have some basic Japanese language skills.
Also, for quite awhile, there was a theory that he was actually a prince. The "Only Alive" poster added a lot of fuel to that fire. Instead, it turned out that he was part of a major family in the underground. There were clues that his family was important, but not enough to reason out exactly why. So people came close, but it was very rare for people to actually hit the mark.

Was looking to do some catchup with the anime since I've pretty much stopped watching since beginning of Dressrosa and I'll have some free time soon. Any good recommandation where I can download them? Looking for quality if possible ie HD and good subs (english or french, does not matter).

Oda gives tons of foreshadowing in his cover pages. There are many articles which highlight stuff or crew members which had details in his cover pages.
|
Even if Oda sometimes uses loose ends to bring someone back or add something to the story sometimes he foreshadows
