One Piece - I'm Gonna Be the Pirate King!

[Mr. 0]

Brook already? They're gonna skip a shit ton, aren't they?

He was part of the Laboon backstory so not technically...?
I've been suspecting Chapter 103 was originally meant to be Brook's intro since the cowboy hat & cloak dude design isn't that far removed from 3-musketeer hat and blazer skeleton. And there's also the constant mentions of wanting a musician on the crew and that Thriller Bark (Brook's debut) was supposed to happen before Water 7 originally.

It’s gotta be a flash back since he’s just standing out in the sun, unless they’re dropping Thriller Bark entirely.

He's also got skin.

i think they are just including him in the flashback for laboon as a teaser. i will be surprised if the show actually makes it to thriller bark honestly since in my opinion at least some arcs are not going to translate that well to live action.

So if Oda kept killing all his characters throughout his series, he couldn't have his big, autistic game of reversi with Luffy playing the white pieces and Imu playing the blacks.

Wait... I figured out what the One Piece is!

Whoa, hold on a second, that's the Rumbar Pirates' ship, isn't it?

As was pointed out upthread we should be getting Laboon this (live action) series. Which means showing the Rumba Pirates is doable.

I had suspected that Lilith would help Franky, I did not think is that she would upgrade the Cola.

it's actually good to see Franky getting a boost i would say post timeskip he's one of the characters that has the least newer upgrades.

I am honestly surprised that Franky did not think to upgrade the Cola.

Gotta say after all the build up between Usop and Elbaf only for Franky (and I assume Sanji next) to get the power up is hilarious.

chopperbros here's how we can still win

I don't think Usopp was to get a major power-up here. Though he might still gain something. What we wanted was more emotional. He wanted to see the famed warrior nation and he got pacifists. Seeing them reclaim their warrior spirits and still accept the lessons in peace was very gratifying for him. They are not the bullies they once were or the wimps that Harald thought they should become to be considered civilized, they are the warrior ideal.

Could the one piece be a living creature?

 

[Shokaract#2]

If Usopp doesn't do anything impactful this arc, they need to drop the God in his bounty poster and replace it with Bum. 'Bum' Usopp. Maybe Luffy should kick him off the crew and recruit Sogeking instead.

if death breaks the curse why did rocks die?

Might depend on the level of the contract.

Rocks didn't have a contract with Imu.

if death breaks the curse why did rocks die?

I looked back at chapter 1166 and at the beginning of the chapter, Rocks has obviously returned to his senses. Saint Garling was the one that struck the fatal blow post battle with Garp and Roger. Essentially, he was killed twice.

 

[Incecticyder]

Rocks didn't have a contract with Imu.

Perhaps possession counts as a type of contract. Could be dependent on the strength of the possessed. A contract with someone weaker might be different than with Harald or Rocks. Alternatively, Imu might be keeping those he wants to possess later alive. He wanted Rocks and Harald (maybe less so Harald but he couldn't be happy that he went back on his word and he might have decided to cut his losses) dead.
