I agree with your statements in general. It has deep ramifications in the world of one piece, for the balance of power in one piece. I do agree there are political consequences from the outcome of this battle. It need not be a war for this. A country can have powerful groups organizations (Gangs) within it, who the government lacks the resources to properly control. In the world of one piece white beard was such a group. This operation was an attempt to provoke one such group in an attempt to eliminate them. By doing so the government stands to gain political control, as it both threatens other powerful groups and stands to intimidate smaller groups. It again need not be a war. I do think a lot of what I'm arguing boils down to semantics. I just think that comparisons to thinks like World war II, Korean War, Vietnam are not really valid here.

Luffy would have been unable to protect the person he cares about most, he would have to grow up and stop thinking like a child. It would help make One Piece a coming of age story has luffystarts the journey as a child but ends it as a man..... Voiced by Norio Wakamoto |

I havent gone back to see the debate about the use of the word WAR, but its is common in shonen to use this big fight between two groups as war, In the chunin exam for narutp the fight that broke between Sound, sand and leaf was called a war is well, there is no need to deep analize this with historical information, is just a loose use of the term

That might mean Shanks will stop the war in one chapter, or Sengoku will realize it's time to quit while he's ahead. Taking on a fresh Emperor right now wouldn't exactly be the smartest move. Blackbeard would probably back off, too.

Still, better for Oda to take a break week after next as opposed to last year when he took a break the week before Shounen Jump went on break for Golden Week... |

Well Oda deserves his rests and he usually times his break with Golden week so we get 2 full weeks without OP fixes. |

There are already over 9000 pages of drawings in the manga, he also does many other One Piece books. We won't ever get to see how much conceptual and developmental drawings he's done, but just to let you know, he has entire books each dedicated to different aspects, like character development drawings, landscapes, even animals. He still needs to spends time to supervise and direct the anime and movies. On top of that he is also a husband and father.

On a somewhat serious note, can't we make a petition to have OP release two chapters a week! they can cancel Bleach or Naruto to make room for it . Last edited by Orath; 2010-03-29 at 10:10. Reason: typo |

I don't think he'll join Luffy's crew. More likely, if it happens at all, a different faction of the Marines will be created with Smoker, Taishigi, Coby, and some others who object to the cruelty and methods displayed.

I'm very interested in seeing how the strawhat connection will be resolved between shanks and luffy. There is no doubt that Luffy will get the strawhat back, But after going to the new world or before?
