One Piece

I don't think bullets are a reliable way to kill someone anyway, I mean who all have actually died from being shot?

Bellemere.

Also, that one bandit in Luffy's backstory.

exactly my point 2 comparativly normal people died, like I said guns don't seem that reliable, and if I remember correctly in the real age of pirates they weren't totally reliable then were they?

In fact, bullets do frequently cause significant wounds, even in the heavies like Zoro in Alabasta or Franky when Nero shot him in the back. It's not that the guns are unreliable, per se, it's that most folks in the higher up levels are sufficiently fast to dodge them, sufficiently enduring to take them, or just flat out immune to them via a Devil Fruit power.

Also Sea Stone bullets where used remember? In Impel Down the guards fired at Luffy and Co when they where escaping from level 6. They have been made their just in very short supply.

I wonder if Usopp could pick one up from a fight with a marine and use it as slingshot ammo if he had to fight a fruit user.

I've been curious about One Piece for a long time but Archive Panic has set in and... I'm wondering if there's any order or arc I could start with? Thanks!

The Alabasta arc. Then it just doesn't stop being awesome.

The Alabasta arc. Then it just doesn't stop being awesome.

What volume does that start? Thanks very much!

Volume 18 I believe.

Thanks so much! *tips hat*

Did anyone else see Django falling unconscious on the last page of the latest chapter?

I did and it was pretty funny to think of who he used to be, if Luffy went back and fought everyone in East Blue again what do you think the outcome would be? also is it bad to constantly re-read the entire thing every 5 chapters?

Jango's Dance Paradise needs to be animated. I'd have liked Michael Jackson to write the soundtrack, but...

Yeah it's a little late for that... Too bad though, sounds like it would've been awesome.

I really think the anime should start animating the cover sequences that they missed. Oda's already brought something like six or so into the main story and I imagine that Wapol, CP 9, Gedatsu, the rest of Baroque works and Enel will show up at some point further down the (grand) line. If Oda's shown anything, it's that everything is a Chekhov's gun waiting to go off.

The main reason they haven't been animated is due to them not being very popular when adapted.

And Jesus Christ it's been forever since the last chapter. *Is having withdrawal symptoms*

Enel and the rest of Baroque Works are on the moon or in a restaurant, respectively, living their dreams, last I heard. It's unlikely that they'd come back to the grand line.

CP 9 is likely, Wapol less so.

On the other hand, Eneru did get himself an electrically powered army of robo-moles. You can't tell me he won't consider going a'conquerin' at some point.

Chapter 570 is out on Mangastream! Go check it out.

So, apparently Inazuma was resting in Iva's hair. I mean, I guess its got more than enough volume for that, but still.

Next round: Luffy Vs. Garp. Fuck yeah.

Link?

Link.

HELL YEAH

CALLED IT! (partially)

I'd specified as early as December 3rd, post 344: I've been a fan of Inazuma since he/she debuted, so it bugged me that we hadn't seen him/her since the ship landed. So, I'd anticipated seeing his/her power again at some point. Law of conservation of detail, Oda, you genius!

I might be guessing a little bit, but it seems the major reveal here (according to Ace and Whitebeard's words) is the implication that King's Haki and The Will of D are strongly related, if not the same.
