One Piece

Reminder that Brulee is a good girl and, like her onii-chan Katakuri, cares about her family.

ODA

WHERE'S MY GANGSTA VITOOOOOOOOOO

brulee is a massive shitposter, like her sibilings mascarpone and joscarpone

Which Charlotte would you Family?

Is that even a question?

AMANDE

or

GALETTE

big mom or smoothie.
i'm into THICC women you see

Is Amande a Charlotte though?

No she's a Dark Souls boss.

That's what the "or" is for.

I'd still fill that long neck of hers until those hearts became white

She's Kata's waifu

Big Mom didn't really cannibalize Caramel and all those other orphans, right? There has to be more to that flashback.

i'm gonna be boring and say smoothie/katakuri

She din't, no. Maybe deep down she knows.

I think it would be funny if she was recruited into the BM pirates for her power and married one of the less combat-oriented sons, who's now a househusband.

Does anyone have the Unlimited Rubber Works copypasta?

I'm still on the fence about it, but I do still lean towards "there's something else here".
The way the Cipher Pol just completely dropped from the flashback and how they specifically cut out that part but then went "Oh there were two witnesses!" makes me feel like there's some kind of ruse going on here.

Especially since I've now seen the previous "cannibalization" scene from the manga in anime form. I hadn't noticed, but in both of them the way the person she's talking to speak before she eats them is strange. They repeat shit and there seems to be more than one speaking. It seems like they're most likely Homies that she ate there, not actual people.
But without knowing about the Homies, you wouldn't really think of that and would assume she cannibalized people at that moment, which in turn makes her eating Carmel and the orphans seem plausible.
Basically it all is really direct in making you think "she eats people" only for it to never show us her directly eating people. It seems like a huge red herring.

Whos the real bad guys here. Marines or pirates

A doctor happened to pick their bodies and they're fine now

Im only on episode 110 on one piece so i probably shouldn't be here so should i really watch the 800+ episodes or should i watch videos on it

Both a have their good share of shit

No. She ate them. Stop reaching. She even got Carmel's DF power and Streusen saw everything.

Caramel, 100%. She got her devil power. The orphans, maybe, if Oda feels like it.

Read the manga and then watch some clips of the anime on youtube. The anime takes a nosedive in quality around episode 240 ish

go on?? is it really a huge grey area

It's certainly no infeasible that Cipher Pol felt she was asking for too much and considering how Mother Caramel was about to retire they might have decided to 'take care of her' before she could leak delicate info. You never know what sort of weird DF a Cipher Pol agent could have used in such circumstances.

Marines have their faults but literally any pirate crew that isn't Luffy's is full of irredemeable criminals that kill and pillage for a living.

They would probably want Carmel's DF too.

Come on Oda didn't want to draw the gore is all. This is just an elegant way of letting the horror of the situation set in without being graphic.

Is One Piece the manga with the most consistent theme?

>gore
That's the thing though, the only way that it makes sense that eating a person could give you their DF is if she swallowed Carmel whole.
But she clearly bit the shit out of everything around there, and Carmel's clothes were shredded. That doesn't fit with her swallowing her whole.

If Oda really wanted to confirm she ate people, he could at least show her grabbing a person and pulling them toward her mouth.
But instead, the two instances we have of her "eating people" are
>Her eating multiple "people" offscreen that is very likely just a bunch of food homies
>Her scarfing down a cake that apparently somehow led to her swallowing a bunch of children and an experienced DF user whole.
Also, wanna point out that she knew she bit into the table, but she didn't know she ate a whole group of people?
It just has too much vagueness.

On an individual basis marines are way better than pirates. However as an organization Marines are way too hypocrtical and swayed by extremism. They also directly support a corrupt political power. Pirates are at least simply being true to their nature whereas even the noblest of the marines must still be aware of the fact they're turning a blind eye to stuff like outright human slave trades.

Like imagine Coby or Garp if they saw a World Noble killing an innocent person in front of them, they'd have to simply ignore it.

Over 800 chapters later and nothing has changed.

People forget after all this time they still haven't shown a version of Sanji's backstory where zeff eats his own leg. Self cannibalism to not die is still unacceptable to show in animated one piece, of course big mom eating people is going to happen off screen even in the manga.

Oda, where's my friend Zoro?

>Meanwhile on Wano

Damn, the shogun looks like THAT?

Damn, Kaido got fucked up

I get it Oda, Kidd is a bitch, but please hae mercy already

i don't really think that oda is telling us that kidd is a bitch. kidd was playing a dangerous game. he was messing with shanks, big mom and kaidou apparently. being as crazy as he is it's no wonder he ended up like this.
luffy is following a similar path because so far he messed with both kaidou and big mom, and is already fighting for his life

catching up with the anime never read manga
im at ep 794
why doesn't sanji just use haki on his hands and rip the handcuffs off?
also how do they print newspapers with pictures of people?

Charlottes are the best family.

Oda, where's my Gangster Gastino

WHATS WITH THESE HOMIES DISSING GASTINO?

WHY DO THEY GOTTA FRONT?

Get out trash

Year of Jinbei's death

well this explains a lot

would you send oda a cover page request if you lived in japan?

Yes. What would you request?

Pudding edited her memories. Instead of fighting CP0 and going berserk because they interrupted the party, she made Big Mom to eat happily and then just have Caramel and co. vanish.

I didn't get to reply before the last thread archived but people are seriously underplaying Vivi's role in the upcoming story. I think she has a better shot than she's given credit.

The main argument is that she's gotta run Alabasta but with the drama that's bound to occur at Reverie I doubt she's returning until the end of the series. The biggest thing going against her is her lack of power

Katakuri is Roger's son

Luffy being unable to hold many devil fruits

bege and crocodile playing poker at croc's place

Jimbei will save Luffy and beat Katakuri

>Poker game with Bege, Crocodile, Doflamingo and a dog
>The dog is winning

Pedro confirmed nakama. Carrot is a falseflag

Seriously though, that's basically Kidd right now. And if Luffy doesn't have enough allies on his side, that'll be him too. Kaidou isn't fucking around. The guy literally wiped three Supernova crews at once. The Minks better get Marco on their side and Moria better come out of hiding and the SH fleet better set sail for Wano soon because that'll be the minimum effort needed for Kaidou.

That's Lucci

Doflamingo flying with a flock of flamingos

I kinda wanna see Luffy end up on Germa's ship and headed to Reverie. It's a theory I've heard a few times. Only problem is it'd delay Wano even further. Also I'm curious of what Stussy and Morgans will do or if they'll even show up the rest of the arc.

no that's a jaguar. Oda is pretty detailed when it comes to the spots of Pedro.

I don't see how she could've gotten Caramel's fruit unless Caramel herself died. There are no multiple copies of a single DF. The current user has to die for a new user. Since we know Caramel had the soul fruit and Linlin got its powers soon after Caramel's "disappearance" I'm leaning more towards Caramel died at that tea party and since Streusen was apparently shocked and gleeful at something Linlin did I'm leaning more towards Linlin ate them all. Unless CP0 kidnapped the orphans, killed Caramel and fed Linlin her respawned fruit which is a bit farfetched. I think Linlin just ate Caramel and killed her, her fruit respawned nearby and Linlin ate that too and got the soul DF.

>Dog

Of course he's winning. Filthy pirate scum.

fuck man, i always forgot that dofla was an underworld broker. i always felt dressrosa kinda missed portraying that side of him

I'd rather have Reverie without Luffy. Luffy being at Mariejois (where Admirals will be present) seems way too dangerous for him alone without his crew. It'll be like Marineford all over again except this time he won't have a Yonkou crew backing him up. Fujitora will be there and probably Kizaru or Akainu too. I'd rather see Reverie from Vivi's POV or maybe Sabo's POV if the Revs attack Reverie.

I'm kinda curious of what Luffy would do if Dragon was threatening any of his friends at Reverie. It'd be interesting, but I don't think there's any place for it timewise.

What is his endgame? He did a lot of shit in Marineford compared to Akainu and Aokiji. He also gave no fucks when Beck Beckman pointed a gun at him.

I think it portrayed that side of him quite well. Instantly after he fell, entire kingdoms and syndicates collapsed because he was no longer there to provide them with weapons. That's why they came to kill Luffy in revenge before Fujitora stopped them. Then there's also the special ore and weapons that Sabo got from Dressrosa. Not to mention Smiles were emphasized in that arc too. I felt Oda subtly showed us the influence Doffy had on the underworld through all those things without it being too in-your-face.

>I think Linlin just ate Caramel and killed her, her fruit respawned nearby
This extra step is unnecessary. Allow me to explain

Consider the fruit itself as the vessel of the devil fruit power. When you eat the fruit, your body becomes the new vessel.

Big Mom eating Mother Carmel is analogous to Big Mom eating the fruit, as Carmel has become the new vessel.

This is just pure tinfoil but I think Kizaru doesn't really give any fucks about justice. He may be in it for the thrill of the hunt (sort of like The Most Dangerous Game if you get what I mean). He doesn't seem to be in it for the money or the glory and he doesn't seem to care too much about justice. On the other hand, he seems to enjoy hunting down pirates so maybe that's his whole deal. A sociopath who likes hunting people and being an Admiral is a way to legally do it without going to jail.

Didn't a giant see what happened and that's why all the giants don't want to associate with big mom?

This is probably how BB did it too, eating a piece of WB close enough to his death

He enjoys his freedom

I still think Caramel is just living inside of Linlin in her "soul" form. It would explain her extreme mood swings. Her fruit is after all the superior version of Brook's and possesion was already stated as one of her abilities. Big Mom only uses it with animals.

If cannibalism granted fruits then Vegapunk would have found out by now. P

Go to the manga, the anime is shit, thanks Toei. If Sanji escapes, Zeff (his daddy) dies

HOW ABOUT A NICE ROOM... IN A DUNGEON! FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS!

That would make sense. I mean, we've never seen straight up cannibalism happen on a DF user before. Perhaps this is a little trick Linlin accidentally stumbled across. Maybe if for instance, Nami were to cannibalize Luffy she'd also gain the gomu fruit. Maybe nobody just realized because nobody tried cannibalizing a DF user before Linlin's little hunger rampage.

>What is his endgame?
Its probably unclear.

the consequences of his fall were portrayed quite well and i liked all those panels you described. i've just a problem with dofla's character during the arc itself (especially the reveal of his past as a celestial dragon)

I have a feeling Dragon won't discriminate when it comes to the world leaders. He doesn't know Vivi is Luffy's friend, he doesn't know Riku is on Luffy's side and he probably doesn't know Neptune is also on Luffy's side. As far as he's concerned, they're all willing participants in a corrupt system he's fighting and if the Revs ever raid Mariejois, I have a feeling he'll just bomb the whole room indiscriminately. I can't imagine him talking to them one by one and asking which one of them is Luffy's friend.

>TFW WCI is just a better dressrosa

>Maybe nobody just realized because nobody tried cannibalizing a DF user before Linlin's little hunger rampage.

Buggy was about to be eaten by cannibals in his first cover-story.

Where's my nigga, Oda? Pretty disappointed he wasn't the last Warlord but ok

Katakuri or Pudding.

Robin was with him for two years so he might be familiar with what happened in Alabasta via her.

but Sabo told them about what happened in Dressrosa so he knows Riku and King Punch are good people.

He will probably go ham on Smelly or whatever Sabo's evil stepbrother was named.

It's definitely more desperate than Dressrosa ever was. In Dressrosa, even with Bird Cage, things hardly ever got that desperate because we've seen Gear 4th Luffy slap Doffy around like dogshit. On the other hand, we've seen Luffy use that same gear on BM and get slapped like an abused child. Now Katakuri is metaphorically raping him. This arc has a more desperate feel to it. Like Luffy could actually lose at any moment. The stakes are higher too, since Pedro actually died while everyone on the good side was wearing kevlar plot armor in Dressrosa, especially Law.

ODA!
STOP PROLONGING THIS SHIT ARC AND HEAD TO WANO ALREADY!

>BIG girl
>evil MOM

deepest lore

pedro's spots and that tigers spots look nothing alike. I VERY MUCH doubt oda gives a shit about keeping spots anatomically correct between subspecies, the dude just likes drawing animals

animefag spotted.

Yeah, I definitely considered that, but I'm also not sure if he'd directly attack just the leaders, rather than the CDs or something.

>wanofags

True, but I don't think the Revs will attack the reverie, they will probably just sneak someone in or kidnap a world noble

>implying Zoro didn't already become a Yonko after slaying Kaido and his crew

What make you think Vegapunk doesn't know? He's working for the WG. It's not an information they would tell the whole world about.

One Piece Movie: Gold was unironically better than Fishman Island and Punk Hazard arc

Not alive tho. They were cooking him up. You have to eat the person or the part of the body (heart? brain?) when the guy is still alive. Which is very unlikely.

According to Oda in SBS, Vegapunk apparently knows the truth behind the Devil Fruits and will reveal it to us in his arc. So it's safe to say he knows. Given how he managed to replicate Kizaru's DF in the Pacifistas, he may have already figured out the mechanism behind them and may even know secret tricks like this to pass them on without the need for a fruit medium.
