Although I do like Gear 5 I still think Gear 2 was the best introduction and fight afterwards.
One Piece
I liked 4's personally. the conversation with doffy when he changes just makes it for me.
Stop one piece thread
the only progress I see is a downhill in art
How do Wan Pissers even manage to read the manga? It's so fucking ugly holy shit
Gear 6 will involve the hat. Screencap this
the art degraded hard between 2006 and 2015
i agree, all women have the same face syndrome
Gear 2 has been surpassed by miles imo, both powerlevel wise and design wise
Wish it still had the old art style.
Same
What the fuck is evening happening in that last gear 5 panel.
The rest is kino as always.
Gear 5 is the last, its described as his peak
>2015 is 7 years ago
All gears suck and they were an awful idea. The dragonballization of OP that happened since EL and of which Onigashima is the climax was a downgrade; not that I dislike DB, but Oda's not Toriyama. Pic related was the best Luffy's form, followed closely by Mizu Luffy.
4 had the best buildup and fight for me.
I was in first grade when Gear 2 came out…
Only Gear 3 is good and fits Soul Piece. Gear 2 could've worked had Oda not been so generic with it. The rest are straight trash
It's impossible for this man to job.
He's completely unjobbable.
By Luffy himself who thought he had the gum gum fruit.
>The first thing Kaidou says isn't something of the tune "LUFFY?! YOU'RE JOYBOY?!?! H...HE'S REAL!!"
Missed opportunity.
He's not joyboy he's Nika, Kaido doesn't have an ancient elephant feeding him info telepathically.
Post your favorite "Toon piece" shitposting
How the fuck would Kaido now? To him Joy Boy is just a title
I am speculating but from this it seems that Joy Boy was simply the previous person to awaken the Nika fruit and gain the "most ridiculous power on the world". But he failed to stop the WG.
>stamina
>shrinking
> Haki loss for 10 minutes
What will be the trade-off for this one?
He's stuck in nika form forever now, and everyone will end up hating him because he wont stop pulling pranks and inappropriately laughing all the time
Dunno but he said he could only fight for a bit more
You gotta remember Luffy was really pissed off at Doffy and all the events leading up to his fight with Doffy, plus all the other shit going on in Dressrosa. Doffy was a monster/dictator.
Holy fucking zoomer, I was in 7th grade in 2005, so I'm like six years older than you. It makes me feel so old, I'll be 30 this year.
I do find it odd that Kaido didn't comment on Luffy's weird change in appearance/personality, like wouldn't you have commented on that? Said something like "M-MUGIWARA?!? YOUR HAIR?!? W-WHAT ARE YOU?!?"
It's like he's not shocked in the least bit that Luffy's hair is made out of flames now and so are his eyebrows.
>constantly laughing
>looks completely different
>is manhandling him
He literally commented earlier on Luffy smiling all the time and getting hyped because he thought for sure Luffy was going to become Joyboy.
How would him seeing all that shit that just happened not ring as a confirmation in his head that Luffy did indeed "become" Joyboy?
Sanji and Nami have always been my two favorite characters
I hope Nami gets a post-TS arc about her like Sanji and Zoro did.
She should in Lodestar maybe but I fear what Oda plans for her
I am betting that Oda is going to give the crew true 1 vs 1 fights against Blackbeard. The BB pirates are basically the only crew where Oda has stressed their roles.
Who do you think will fight who?
For me...
>Luffy vs BB (captains)
>Zoro vs Shiryu (first mates)
>Sanji vs Vasco Shot (I believe he is the cook/brewer of the crew)
>Jinbe vs Burgess (Helmsmen)
>Nami vs Laffite (Navigators)
>Ussop vs Van Augur (snipers)
>Franky vs San Juan Wolf (The "BATTLESHIP")
>Robin vs Pizzaro (not sure about this)
>Chopper vs Doc Q (Doctors)
>Yamato vs Caterina Devon
>Brook vs 10th member
So nobody mentioned it yet but Gear 5 just made next gears possible. What are some forms you want to see?
I would love a Zeppelin-Man transformation. He would become a Zeppelin the size of Kaido's dragon form, capable of yonko-tier aerial combat.
GEAR REVERSE
SaNafags don't exist
SaNafags don't exist
SaNafags don't exist
Burgess vs Sanji is more likely imo
Burgess has always seemed to be the second muscle of Blackbeard's crew
>How would him seeing all that shit that just happened not ring as a confirmation in his head that Luffy did indeed "become" Joyboy?
Maybe there's more to that
Kaido can't hear the drums of liberation like Zunisha did
They shouldn't, but they do.
Memory loss. Luffy will wake up normal and have no recollection of what happened so he won't be able to use the form again until he's at death's door.
That's stupid
Not even a shipper and I do think SaNa is a cringe ship. I just really like both characters and appreciate how they're written.
Though I do actually like their relationship. Sanji's simping aside, it's clear that both of them have a lot of respect for each other.
He's getting the shit kicked out of him currently, he's probably too dazed to notice. Can't wait to see their interactions in the next chapter though since I wonder what he'll do if he figures out Luffy's actually joyboy.
I agree with your picks.
Robin v Pizzaro makes sense cause Pizzaro is a corrupt king and Robin trained with the RA. Brook vs Aokiji works because ice.
>dressrosa was in 2015
>7 years ago
What the actual fuck
BONNEY LOVE
Yeah well the fish fruit sounded stupid too but it's real so you gotta think outside the box if you want to keep up with Oda.
