One Piece Water 7 / Enias lobby discussion

Yeah, sue me for bringing up a dead thread, but the manga has been making my sit on the edge of my seat for a while.

Enias lobby spoilers

Spoiler:

The whole Kaku giraffe thing was disgusting. But anyway, I'm not a fan of giraffes to begin with, haha. Also, Sanji not being able to kick women really sets him back with Kalifa... her power to turn things to glass is pretty trippy too. I wonder if eating a devil's fruit is actually useful, especially if it's a mixed bag. I'm sure Nami will figure out a way to destroy those power sucking bubbles.

I'm just concerned about Chopper now, that sweet animal! It's a shame he had to use rumble three times...

I also really enjoyed both flashbacks, those of Tom's crew and Robin's past. I admit that Robin's past had tears starting from my eyes, but that's why I love One Piece to begin with; it just sucks you in like that!

Luffy's "gear" changes are pretty weird... I just hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those "power up" mangas like DBZ or Naruto. But with Oda's style, it doesn't seem like it'll fall into that trap. The characterization is just ingenious; I feel more connection with the haphazard Luffy than the haphazard Naruto.

Yeah, long spoiler but I just caught up 200 chapters this week. Yippee.

Double Post:
I also wanted to mention about the Going Merry thing

Spoiler:

That was really touching... I loved the fight between Usopp and Luffy, and how Luffy knew Usopp was no match for him. It was really sad.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

But to see them with different powers in this arc was just amazing. I always liked Usopp so powers or nothing does not apply ;p. His Soge King style was interesting at least ^^;. I have alot more respect for Nami when i saw those different versions of her and when she took out that blonde chick from CP9.
Im not sure about Chopper, but i did see that evil side of him in the recent opening of OP.. Im sure he'll kick ass.

Well, thanks for revealing that

Spoiler:

Nami beats that bubble lady. But I already sort of expected that since OP doesn't really have "bad" outcomes, which I like.

I don't think it's too late to go back, or maybe even start over (if you have the time, which I doubt many of us have). Although it's fun to already know outcomes, at times you forget and you just like to see how it all began.

Regarding Sanji

Spoiler:

Haha, I liked the fight against the ramen dude. Him pulling out kitchen knives was classic.

Then Usopp

Spoiler:

Sogeking... when I first saw him like that I burst out laughing. It's just too funny. And that Chopper and Luffy were both like cool, Sogeking! when everyone else knew it was Usopp. -.- Well, I love how Chopper takes in all of Usopp's tall tales, that innocent reindeer!

He also had that purple aura light around his body. Judging from the anime version (opening). He's not going to have any energy around his whole body like Goku's power up or Naruto's Kyuubi Chakra.
But showing the way he blew away Bruno with just the wind can remind you of good ol days of DBZ. In the end, OP is with SJ..

I never watched the anime, so I can't compare. Nor have I ever seriously watched DBZ. =\

There's nowhere I can't reach.
