Well it's back!
Any theories on The Flying Dutchmen thing? I'm betting their captain has some kind of DF that let's them either A, survive for a long time, or B, lets them be underwater.
Probably some kind of fraud, anyways.

Neither. Underwater would be redundant. Their ship is just airtight. You cant see the bubble around the 1000 Sunny either. I suppose it could make him be long lived, but that'd be kind of boring for a DF.

The quotation marks around his name when a crew member says it, and the fact that the legend is hundreds of years old. So, yeah.

I don't think this would make very much sense. I'm not saying it won't turn out this way, but I'd be disappointed as being underwater is pretty much the one real kryptonite that fruit users have.

It only occurred to me now, but Luffy's pet kraken kind of reminds me of naruto's Eighttails (well, he's a kraken too, duh, but still)

Anyway, so Usop is useful and the Strawhats are going to kick some fish ass again, yay. Good old times.

I did get really excited when Zoro was going to jump out and cut it (its only, what 10kmeters? he can take it), but Ussop easily saving theday when Zoro perhaps couldn't was much better (and dammit, I wanna see more Sogeking)

I wouldnt be too surprised, but I wouldn't be so sure, either. Oda loves gags like that, and I can see a case where usopp needs to act but needs or wants to hide his identity.

Ussop doesn't have a bounty though, Sogeking does. Unless I'm mistaken.

It doesn't have to be for bounty purposes. There is no immediately available situation where this owuld come up, but I'm jsut saying it makes sense for Sogeking to come out any time there is a need or desire for Ussop to remain incognito

One Piece = (Dragonball Z minus the ****ty parts) + loony tunes = massive win.

I was very skeptical at first, but my 30 year old cousin, who is a film director, told me that it was worth watching. I took his word for it, and I never looked back

I just realized something. One piece is structured exactly like an rpg, a jrpg to be exact.

A grand adventure from town to town through a somewhat predirected path, meeting party members one by one, even complete with random encounters along the way!

I was just listening the anime theme songs, they even sounds like songs you'd hear in a jrpg. It's really something in a different style compared to other shonen anime like naruto. Hear luffy's theme, or to the grandline, and say that it doesn't sound like something from a classic jrpg.

That's a good comparison. Amusingly enough, I was just trying to scrape together a campaign of maritime adventures and was thinking of One Piece and LoZ: Wind Waker as inspiration.

Yes. This was confirmed in-story when all-female inhabitants of Amazon Lily were picking off dangerous mushrooms from Luffy's body and, uh... one didn't come off.

This lead to a fairly hilarious discussion about "family jewels".

His teeth and bones are extremely hard, they're just also extremely tough and flexible. As shown by Gear 3, it seems Luffy has at least partial control over how flexible he is at any given moment.

Well, finally got a new chapter. With lo~ots of text. And rather few content...
So, Luffy's immune to pison now (at least some, maybe all? Doesn't really make sense, but hey, it's One Piece!)
Also, Brook's back and Fishman island is protected by a pirate empress who loves sweets.
Ad finally, Luffy might destroy the island. Now that'd be a new one... Actually, it would.

Actually, she's one of the Yonkou. Not just an Empress. As for Luffy destroying the island. I say it wont happed. He defies fate.

I'm guessing that Magellan's poison is a combination of all (or at least most) poisons. There might still be poisons that could hurt Luffy, but not many, I'm guessing.

Or Magellan's is so powerful nothing else would cause damage anymore. (Which makes even less sense.)
