I am skipping filler since bleh to filler.Honestly, most One Piece filler isn't too egregious, and it doesn't help that they occasionally slide in plot relevant info into the filler. Like in Water 7 they say the Merry's Keel is shattered. How did that happen? Falling into the marine base from Skypeia probably.

| Crazyman93 09/29/22 6:43:30 AM #53 | Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... So the 5 Admirals, plus all the ships powers are insignificant compared to any of the Yonko?There are only three Admirals, a Buster Call does require Vice Admirals, which seem to be in abundance. Garp was a match for Roger in his prime, but despite what the Marines say, Garp didn't actually beat Roger, which if you've seen Marineford I'm fairly sure that was covered. Sengoku might be able to match Whitebeard blow for blow, but he's also only one man. Besides, despite the Marines granting Authority based on who is a bigger ass kicker (note that there's an entire island Akinu and Akoji ruined dueling over replacing Sengoku), they also conserve resources, which is to say they only apply enough badassery to slightly exceed the threat. Marineford was just the point where they had to apply basically everything they had. And it still almost wasn't enough. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

| Crazyman93 09/29/22 6:08:53 AM #49 | Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... Just got to "Sniper King"... fucking Usopp. =/I'm so sorry... Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... Pfffft, so they were gonna BUSTER CALL the Straw Hats?Actually the Buster call was because Spandam is an idiot and used the wrong snail. It's just that a buster call has no way to stand down. Once it's issued, the Navy destroys the island. Arguably it's because they don't want to admit they unleashed the apocalypse on an island by mistake. I've read their official excuse was it was to make sure Robin died because she survived the last one. As to the Yonko, there's something about a balance of power that hasn't been made totally clear in the series. You have the Marines/Navy, the Seven Warlords, and the Yonko. There's a lot of fretting later in the series before the Whitebeard War about not having the Seven Warlords actually have seven members. But it's all wonky to me because the Warlords are in theory supposed to heed a Summons by the World Government to help the Navy, yet it seems like none of them actually have any loyalty to them. Mihawk apparently does whatever he wants, which is destroy uppity East Blue pirate warlords for waking him up, and then Crocodile was planning to take over the world. There's more but I'm trying not to spoil anything but the arc you're on. Jeff_AKA_Snoopy posted... Robin thinking the government won't turn on her (I'm gonna assume she thinks working for the government will save herself or the Straw Hats), she stupid. Iceberg basically being a hypocrit about Frankie making "weapons"? Stupid past Iceberg.Robin's deal as I recall was she turns herself in for execution in return for sparing the Straw Hats. So yeah, she's stupid here. Ignoring the fact she should have known they'd never honor such a deal in the long run, she should have known they'd come after her to save her. And it may just be the dub that did it, but I recall Iceberg was more pissed about Frankie leaving the weapons laying around on Scrap Island for anyone to steal and use than he was about Frankie making them in the first place. And well, it does end up being a justified concern. Null_Gain posted... As for the Emperors, being super strong individually is only the begining. They'll command an entire army, a fleet of ships, have tons of weapons and control large territories.That's even just counting them alone, Whitebeard has ten ships each loaded with guys who would make strong captains on their own, and has an absolutely huge number of pirate captains that swear loyalty to him on top of it. And it's fair to assume the others have that as well given that it's said you either swear loyalty to an Emperor, or you thumb your nose at them at every turn if you want to survive. Actually, the balance of power I mentioned earlier seems to hinge on all four Emperors refusing to work with each other. As TC will see in the Whitebeard War arc, the idea of Shanks and Whitebeard teaming up terrifies the Navy. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

The main thing that's out of character (or at least a poor judgment call) is how luffy handled that argument.It's easy to forget, but Luffy is the captain of the Strawhats. And I seem to recall Zoro and Sanji backing Luffy and telling Chopper that Luffy is the captain, and he can't have crewmembers do shit like Ussop did. I'd actually argue it's in character for Luffy, in the sense that he's shown he's perfectly capable of being serious when he needs to be. And your crewmember basically trying to mutiny is a serious situation. yusiko posted... this is honestly one of the best story arcs in one pieceIt would be better without the Sniper King theme nonsense, but then, One Piece has always been an Anime that isn't afraid to take the piss on Anime tropes --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

Yeah, if you read about feudal era European tactics that chief way to kill a Knight was to pull them off their horse with some sort of pole arm and then stab the shit out of them while they were on the ground.Well, they aren't TOTALLY helpless, but of course, it is hard to fight while you're trying to stand back up.

| Crazyman93 09/22/22 9:19:13 PM #160 | ScazarMeltex posted... As someone who has practiced various schools of Iai over the years it's essentially worse case scenario swordsmanship. Made for situations wherein you are ambushed or otherwise disadvantaged. The only real advantage it provides is for when your opponent has already committed to an action and you are countering it, having trained specifically for that scenario.Yeah, that's more or less what I figured. It's a "you don't always need this, but when you need it, you NEED it" type thing. ScazarMeltex posted... Oh god yeah. 've trained some Iai techniques that when you look at the bunkai for it you have to ask "what in the ever living fuck was going on in your life that you needed to be prepared for this specific a situation".I can't help but wonder if some of those sorts of techniques were the result of the inventor being asked dumbass questions by random people. Like, "What would Batman do if the Joker ambushed him on the toilet" type questions, except instead of brushing them off, they came up with actual answers. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

| Crazyman93 09/22/22 4:52:01 AM #149 | St0rmFury posted... Let's talk about curved swords now.Great at slashing, okay at chopping, not good at thrusting since the point is out of line with the arm. A cutlass is better at chopping than slashing because it was a specialized saber made for the confines of fighting in ships, where you're not gonna have room to do conventional slashes. Though the main use of sabers and other curved swords were cavalry. Smackems posted... Well also japanese weapons were made to use against Japanese armor or lack of. They would have had adapted if they needed to against full plate, they just didn't really encounter itYeah, I think that's what I was trying to ramble at with my circular evolution thing. No good reason to make a sword that can go through a solid plate of steel if no one is wearing it. Kamen_Rider_Blade posted... There are situations where Iaijutsu / Batojutsu is faster than traditional sword techniques.I doubt that personally, but I'll take your word for it. Really the value I see in the draw techniques is more because for most of the samurai class's existence, swords were a last resort weapon, so it makes sense to me you'd develop ways to draw and attack at once if someone got way too close for the bow and arrow or spear. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |

And the katana was no better overall and was perhaps a bit worse because of lengthThere's also the fact that if someone with a Katana somehow ended up facing a knight in full armor, they'd probably be screwed. Katana work well enough against Japanese armors, but when you're facing a guy covered head to toe in metal, it's not gonna work too well. Of course, weapon and armor development was and always will be a literal arms race. "I need protection from that" turns to "I need a weapon to pierce that new armor", and then loops back again. Right up until the development of usable firearms where steel plate armor arguably was worse than nothing. Of course, we're really still in the cycle, it's just "find thing to stop bullets and still be able to move" is really fucking hard. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Swords are decentish at every role, but require more training to use. But yeah, if you're doing that, you've probably encountered a problem at some point. But it's a nice option to have since as far as I'm aware swords were usually weighted toward the grip to make them easier to control, so it would make an okay hammer. --- let's lubricate friction material! ~nickels, Cars & Trucks |
