I will give it a chance then, i dont read manga because i just cant get into it for unknown reasons (i can read a good novel just fine.) so i make do with the animes.
I love naruto but even that sucked up till about ep15-20 with the battle w/ zabuza.
Time to dedicate some time to one piece!
Bleach has me hooked already though, and i watched that right after one piece, just watched a 2nd ep over dinner. Lets see if my wife will dedicate our night time programs to one piece :D

Bleach has a sick first arc especially. That was one of the better written arcs in any manga I've read.
Nothing compares to that one One Piece arc in Marineford though. Not gonna tell you more, you go watch that! Actually read the manga, it's WAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY better then the recent anime. Anime quality in general has been going down except for some really well done ones like Nurarihyon no Mago.

I started watching One Piece when i was in 1rst year. I watched something like 400 episodes within 3 weeks. I got hooked up pretty hard.
( and yeah, now I'm reading the manga and it's better )

i really do consider One Piece to be a work of art, a master piece, its one of those things i expect weekly with a lot of anticipation.
Funny, i didn't like it at first because of the art of the manga, but it grows on you as you watch the anime.
Also, i agree that the quality of the manga is leaps and bounds over the anime, but the anime is not bad either, some of the fights on the anime are actually, quite sick to watch.
For whatever reason though, i also notice a huge hit on the quality of the drawings right at end of the shabondi archipielago arc, it still makes me wonder why.

I think I heard something about a new production team in charge of One Piece after the Archipelago arc. What's really obvious is that I think they don't have the rights to use a lot of the original drawings anymore, which seems to be happening for lots of animes. I noticed that with Naruto too and especially during the Marineford arc.
Marineford spoilers: + Show Spoiler +Take Whitebeard's fight vs Akainu for example. They didn't use ANY of the manga drawings but used their own. Which is bound to be worse in quality because nobody draws One Piece better than Oda himself.

on topic im really curious how DF plans to keep his warlord spot now, seems like Smoker will survive to escape and spread the word on waht happened
i wonder if the reason law wants DF to give up his spot is so that he wont be there to defend dessrarossarossaaaosososaoasoswhoweverthefuckyouspellit

So much on my mind now.. Dont noe where 2 start.
1st thing is Smoker. Before time skip he used to defeat Luffy numerous times. I noe he is smoke, but he can keep up with his Gear 2nd speed. So he is improving on pace with luffy and still a way ahead.
Then, 2 years time skip. I lost that feeling . I can feel he is still strong, I noe Vergo is strong, Doflamingo is strong.. But see smoker get trash is sad to see . .. Maybe that is for the aikoiji entrance haha.
I noe Ace used to fight draw with Jimbei, and also able to deflect Aikoiji attack. That fire and ice (Ace vs Aikoiji) lil fight really make him look like the 2nd division whitebeard division, where like Marco and Jozu, able to stand off against an admiral
What about Ace vs Doflamingo . . . I wonder . .
Nvm, need to sleep. Maybe will dream of a result.

String fruit basically confirmed now. I wonder if Doffy will be powerful enough to pick a fight with Kuzan.

Coby is just kinda annoying in the first episodes but once you get past him it's great. The backstories of zoro, sanji and nami are super.

I'm a bit sad that Smoker is getting pushed around so much in this arc... I kind of hoped he would end up being one of the big shots of the marines, as he from very early in the manga was set up as one of Luffy's rivals.
He just doesn't seem to powerful at the moment, though to be fair, he is picking some really nasty opponents... just a tad bit sad he seems to be getting the short end of the stick in results

One thing I just absolutely love about Eiichiro Oda is that every character he creates is distinctly different from others. All characters seem to have a very unique story behind them as well as a unique personality. And the best part of it all, though we may forget about characters, Oda does not. I just love it when we're reading and we think to ourselves: "That couldn't be... could it...?!?!" And, pleasantly surprisingly, it usually is.

I´m okay with him having a hard time right now because I don´t think he´s meant to be the real archenemy of Luffy. Smoker&Crew has been silent sympathiser of the Straw-Hat-Pirates since Alabasta, and he doesn´t need to be as strong as Luffy to fill that role.
I wonder if Coby has gotten somewhere with his Haki. Since Marineford (and City 7 before that) they´ve been setting him up as potential rival to Luffy, similar to the relationship between Roger and Garp, equally matched friends on different sides of the conflict. It depends on if Coby has been gotten strong enough during the last 2 years.

Luffy vs Flamingo. They stare at each other until one of them faints.

I love the faces Law makes, it's pretty hilarious. I wonder how he's going to react when he finds out that Luffy declared war on Big Mom.

So... Conqueror's Haki on Donflamingo.
Aokiji!
I really don't like Smoker getting one-shot. It serves to make Kuzan's entrance more brotastic but still... I'm expecting Smoker to disappear for a while now and receive a powerup.

honestly i hope OP is done with power ups for now. I mean, what gain would a stronger smoker do? It's not like doflamingo is a light weight exactly, losing to him doesnt mean much.
I mean, Vergo got one shotted by Law :p

One does not simply oversleep in the middle of the New World, unless you're ridiculously imba and careless like Aokiji
Sadly there will be most likely no fight vs Doflamingo, I guess the bastard will find a way to avoid the fight against Aokiji. His purpose in this arc is probably more than "let's rescue some friend", I wouldn't be surprised if Aokiji would coach Smoker as he has been a sad punching ball in this arc. Maybe Admirals have some kind of secret techniques or stuff, would be cool if Oda could explore the admirals a bit more.
