I was surprised Luffy was able to beat Crocodile outright. I thought hed need something more but I guess the wet = no transform is a critical weakness.
The anime chose the perfect music for that scene

Wet sand is just mud. It was obvious to me how to best him back when I read it.

Depends on the warlord, but a few of them sort of stagnate, like Crocodile. As in they could've been much stronger than they were when they're met in the story, but became complacent with their Warlord status once they got rocked further into the Grand Line.

Its not that crocodile is weak. Luffy really is that damn strong, with the only thing holding him back is that he couldn't touch crocodile. The wilds of goa kingdom training him and his brothers put theirselves through really is that good.

On crocodile's part, stella just had to get his groove back. Once he put himself out there again he is now clashing with big names like it ain't shit lol.

Moria is the one that started slacking hard, what with at least entertaining kaido in his youth into getting gut-punched by jinbe.

Got to remember as a Shonen protagonist luffy didn't legit struggle because he was being out-sped and out-muscled all the way up to rob lucci....that is actually a really long chapter/volume count for a MC to not be flat out outstat'd.

*just a heads up that isn't any super serious spoilers, but still just covered it up if the TC want to go in completely blind*

If you think Arlong Park is good, Alabasta blows it out of the water. I'm on the arc just after that one.

I disagree personally. Having watched/read it beyond Fishman Island I feel like that moment was the highlight of the series for me. And not even Arlong Park in general, but just that singular moment.

i just finished the Alabasta arc and Im heading into the next arc myself. After shitting on One Piece myself for years, Im surprised I like it so much after giving it a genuine try. That scene you posted with Nami is still my favourite one so far though
Feel like there's been a big uptick in this in recent years. Way too many watches Naruto, because ninjas and it had a way better anime American dub, and dismissed OP. But OP is the GOAT manga for a reason.

And to be fair, Crocodile beat Luffy 2 times before he was able to come back and win. Hell, he damn near killed Luffy.

Love to see someone enjoying the colored version. Colored manga is great.

The one I'm reading doesn't call him Zolo or Ruffy lol.

One of the best. It was cool to see this before Blackbeard gets established as a villain. That they are alike.

Plus, the panel right after, where Luffy and Zoro suggest (but Nami can't apparently see) that Blackbeard may be a "them", is one of the biggest mysteries in OP currently.

I thought Zorro meant that Luffy understands how to get to the sky island in the same way that this man understands. I only just realized that its Luffy speaking here when he says its not just one guy.

Nah. The originally translation is slightly different, but it's basically Luffy saying, "Well, it's not 'he'". Nami is confused, says "then what?". Zoro then says "Them...probably."

Which is very strange and how it's framed in it's own right, and has long caused confusion and suspicion as to what that means.

Well, *SPOILERS IF YOU AREN'T CAUGHT UP*
Later it is revealed that Blackbeard has an "odd/atypical body type", after it is revealed he can wield 2 DF powers at once, the only person who can do that. There's other subtle references and hints, like his Jolly Rodger with his 3 skulls, throughout that suggest there is something unique about Blackbeard. He's also trying to acquire more DF, so we know he can absorb at least 1 more. Does he have multiple personalities? A conjoined twin inside of him? What?

But this scene is definitely the first reference that something odd about Blackbeard is detectable by those who can perceive it. That's the leading interpretation, but debate does still rage about what exactly Luffy and Zoro mean. But accurate translations make it seem to not make sense for them to be talking about his crew.

I just took it as it being his crew, since throughout the arc the straw hats had encounters with the other BB pirates, and after the Bellamy fight at the end we get the big reveal (and yeah I'm caught up)

I really don't get the Skypeia hate tbh. I guess in retrospect in comparison to later arcs it's not all the crazy, but I really enjoyed it in the Anime at least. *MAJOR SPOILERS TC*. I think it gives a good sense of scale for the overall world given that he fights someone who claims to be and acts like a god only to later on realize how small scale Eneru/Enel is in the grand scheme. First introduction to Haki, some interesting fights, the start of the Merry's end, and some cool/funny moments (Ussop accidentally popping out right in front of Enel, apologizing, and shutting the door is such a small but weirdly hilarious standout moment to me, even as far in as I am now.)

IDK, I liked it. I'm almost done with Whole Cake rn, and as of now I'd probably rank the major arcs:
From Best to Worst IMO:
Impel Down/Marineford
Albasta
Dressrosa
Whole Cake
East Blue
Thriller Bark
Water 7/Enis Lobby
Skypeia
Zou
Fishman Island

Sure, Skypeia is technically in my bottom 3, but honestly the only arc I think is legit not good is Fishman Island. Fishman is a fucking slog, but every other arc is pretty damn solid IMO.

The standout is Luffy's song in Skypiea. Probably the major reason to watch it. Its so freaking funny.

Knowing how to use the body the way he does, the gomu gomu no mi is definitely one of the fruits that you really need the mindset for. His ingenuity is what makes the power dangerous on higher levels. Without his guts and ingenuity, Luffy wouldn't have been able to beat Croc.

The Grand Line scales. The further you go in, the stronger people get and because of how wild and dangerous it is, you end up getting phased out by the stronger pirates and marines.(and environments). Crocodile basically went and stuck himself in a weaker environment. Its like a lack of exercise...

he basically relied too heavily on his devil fruit because most of his opponents weren't strong enough to worry about. Its not like another Warlord level character was going to come and dominate him and most people don't want the hassle from a warlord.

Croc also had the issue of his weakness being the most plentiful thing in the ocean. He put his base in a country he could keep completely dry and he was looking for a weapon of mass destruction so that his devil fruit wouldnt be his limiter.

I, personally, think that Blackbeard has a mythical Zoan fruit for Cerberus(thus the three heads) and one of the abilities is that he can eat two more devil fruits. Plus, it would follow a pattern: The Dark Fruit being a logia, the quake fruit being paramecia, and the Cerberus fruit being a Zoan fruit. Thus wielding the three different type fruits.

I think Skypeia was better than Alabasta personally. Although Alabasta let each crew member shine more in battle. But the setting of Skypeia was really cool.

One thing thats interesting to me is that weve gone through some pretty immensely powerful villains without introducing anything past base devil fruit powers. Skypeia introduced Mantra but it wasnt developed very much and I get the feeling Zorro has already used Mantra before in those moments where he feels the world around him and finally takes down a foe in one strike that was beating his ass.

This was before the train fight but I do like this page. Something about the angle we see Sanji at and how it aligns with the kanji. Just a really cool composed panel imo

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/05ff2f5a.jpg

luffy is tearing up the Enies mooks but I imagine hes going to need something more to beat these Six Powers guys. I mean we just saw them trounce him and Zorro at the same time basically without breaking a sweat. So then, I know that eventually One Piece introduces something called gears but thats all I know is the name, and what Gear 4 and Gear 5 look like. Thanks twitter btw lol

I think its only something related to the six power users and possibly to give an idea of how strong each one is since they all use similar powers.

Thankfully this isn't something that suddenly becomes a big deal like in Dragon Ball.

Sadly I don't like how they worked with the bounties because now I feel like bounty numbers are useless and I don't even pay attention anymore.

There were a lot of really bad scanlations back then. Not sure if it's missable to mention group names for groups that haven't existed for like 15 years.
