Why not, oh, wait for the explanation?
Besides, we didn't see it sink, we know there is something special about it, and there's still the question of whether the ship is even repairable.
Another great chapter IMO
Crazymoogle said:
The only non-mystical explanation I can think of is that *somehow* Iceburg and some of the other remaining shipwrights still on Water 7 managed to find/salvage the head and rebuilt the Merry just as it had looked before. It's possible that Iceburg has even piloted it to Enies Lobby. Sure, that would mean rebuilding it in record time, but Iceburg's got the training to do it and stranger things have happened in One Piece.

The red line is at the beginning of the grand line. How can they be near it?
Oda also said that the mermen island is at the middle of the grand line. If they didn't reach the middle of the grand line yet then when will the manga finish?

277-278: !!!!!!
I knew the story already from the manga, but this double ep burns you with the tragedy of Robin's situation, throws in some action, and then sets it all up for the 12+ eps of wall to wall fighting that is to come. After watching this ep, you'll want to watch Luffy kick ass so bad.
Few eps of anime really show off why adaptations can work. This show continues to be an indispensable companion to the manga.

Jesus already!? Tackey&Tsubasa seems to be doing it.....this is fast
Oh I look forward to 431
RE: 430
Let me preface this by saying OP has been and is my favorite manga for the last 5 years+.
But...I really wasn't happy with this arc overall. I thought it started off strong in the city half of the arc but once Robin got kidnapped it became long and drawn out with crap villians and average fights that went on too long. It was a lot worse than Skypiea and Skypiea was already a step down. I really really hope Oda gets back on track and does a nicely paced normal sized arc if he's not planning on jumping striaght into the final arc now. I liked OP better when it didn't drag :\
Still, 430 was very good and made me ;_;

I think you're just getting a little jaded Bebpo. Too much anime.
The fights were messy, but that was kind of the point seeing as how every one of them could have basically beat anybody but Luffy. The rest of the crew has some definite thinking to do if they want to keep up with the power scale (and we did get some brief glimpses, hence Sogeking, Dire Moose, Cuisineart Sanji.) The whole arc struck me as a wonderful way to fix a number of long lingering questions about the series.
I'm inclined to think we still have a long while to go; Oda's words quite awhile back of 10 pirates in the final straw hat crew still seems to be on schedule, Blackbeard is after the strawhats, Whitebeard is after Blackbeard, the Shichibukai is up to something, Marine HQ is upto something, and Smoker/Hina are still en route.

I really enjoyed the water 7/enies lobby arc, but maybe that's because I read it all in 2 days instead of waiting every week for the next chapter :lol
still, I really hate the fact that the biggest mysteries of the series are only mentioned once or twice and then simply forgotten, things like
also, I was almost sure that one of the vice admirals for the buster call would be Smoker.... oh well, maybe next time

Dragon, the will of D., luffy's grandfather, the rest of the shichibukai, the whitebeard-shanks thing, ace, blackbeard and etc. not to mention the short glimpse we have at robin's father during her flashback, he really looked like Aokiji to me

Crazymoogle said:I think you're just getting a little jaded Bebpo. Too much anime.
Maybe. I'm hating everything anime/manga/films/US/Japan these days :\
Here's how I see it:
Skypiea = You had the battle royale survival game. Was pretty cool and the fights were fairly badass. The sky indian tribe were a good cast. Then you had Luffy vs. Eneru, which was an awesome ****ing fight. All the stuff with the punches deflecting off the wall and whatnotwas great. It also helped that Eneru was a great villian because he was so ****ing dumb but powerful. The facial expression he makes when he got owend was lol. Then you had the final hit with the ringing of the bell and everyone it being the epic climax of everything in this huge arc. A completely awesome moment.
Enis Lobby = You had a bunch of ok fights vs. stupid stupid enemies (I really hated the whole animal form thing, it was just waaay too ridiculous looking for final fights). Then you had the Luffy vs. Luchi fight which I seriously thought sucked for a final fight of a several year arc. Compared to Crocodile/Eneru fights it was really weak. Crocodile had the blood on the fists to solidify the sand (so badass), Eneru had the fist reflections (awesome), Luchi had GEAR 3 which was kinda ummmm....ok. I thought the first time Luffy went into Gear 2 it was really awesome and that fight vs. Bruno was a great, great fight. But the Luchi fight just dragged. I mean it should've ended around the Gear 3 part. After that it was just back and forth, back and forth while all the stuff on the outside, which you honestly couldn't care about happened. I mean even the final hit in the Luchi fight was just deus ex machina where Luffy suddenly takes the ougi for the 3rd time and doesn't fall despite taking forever to get up after the 2nd time and then he's able to not only stand but give his most powerful attack @_@ With Crocodile and Eneru Luffy won because he was smart and couragous, in this arc he wins just because he can magically stand and kick ass in the end despite being on the losing end of the fight. I call that extremely disappointing.
There was also very little character development and almost no mystery/story (besides Robin's backstory). The first half of the arc in the city was great because it had those things + awesome (and short!) fights. The Aoi Kiji fight during the transition was fantastic as well.
So yeah, maybe I'm jaded but that's why I was unhappy with the last year of OP

Zaptruder said:Smoker isn't at a vice admiral level. He's just a commander or captain.I figured he'd be promoted by now, I mean, the marines had to keep the illusion that he caputred Crocodile by himself
I agree that the Luffy vs. Luchi fight wasn't as awesome as the past fights, and I wished Usopp/Sogeking would finish a fight by himself again, I always love his fightsBebpo said:
however,the fights with sanji(red leg zeff... get it?) and franky were great, and berserk chopper looked beyond awesome, zoro's fight was too streched out but it would work well in the anime. And Nami vs. Kalifa was quite nice
overall It was a very enjoyable arc, good thing that with One Piece, even the lesser arcs are better than most other mangas out there
wikipedia says Oda planned one piece to last 5 years, and that he already has an ending in mind..... my guess is that we'll se the eding around 2011Bebpo said:
berserk on the other hand.... apparently it's halfway done, but that took almost 20 years!! so I hope Miura doesn't die before he ends the series...
PS: Toei should start animating the cover stories instead of putting up fillers in the middle of the arc.... they only did the Helmeppo-Coby one, right?

Bebpo said:
(disagrees...)
Gears showed Luffy's fighting evolution. He's been getting it easy in past fights, since he was the natural enemy of Eneru and had a pretty natural countermeasure for Crocodile. Ao Kiji showed him that he wasn't going to be that lucky, that against guys like Kiji or Ace, he needs to be fundamentally better or elemental Devil Fruit users would just walk all over him. Like he says in the manga, if he's not the strongest, they're basically dead. Sogeking reminds Luffy of this in the final fight, and thats what gives him the strength to stand up again when the gears and Luchi had him basically punch drunk.
I did care what happened during the fights, because every one seemed basically stacked against them. I'll admit it was a lot more chaotic than in the past, but everybody had to step up in different ways. Past encounters were like fighting tournaments; this one was *war*.

Development:
Seemed pretty damn good justification to me:
-Explained why Nico Robin is with the team, and gave her a very sympathetic story to go behind
-Explained the poneglyphs and gave us a lot of info on what is so crooked about the World Govt. I mean, really, this alone justified the entirety of Skypiea, which I still maintain is the weakest arc.
-Explained why Franky is with the team, binding into the other backstory
-Gave us background that Usopp is not, in fact, content to be the #1 loser on the team
-More info and the destruction of the Going Merry
I mean, let's be honest. Every Straw Hat member has now been visible enough to earn a bounty. They nearly sank the entire buster call. Blackbeard already is on the way, and now they've arguably attracted the attention of the entire Marine brass along with notoriety worldwide. Robin gives the crew (and the audience) a very strong path to follow, something more tangible than Luffy's dream. Is Pluton really gone? There is a lot of big impact questions left...

I find the enies lobby ark vastly superior to Skypia...that ark was very good, but felt slightly diversionary....this arc feels like the straw hats are entering the next level from beating croc, they are emerging as a real threat and a crew to contend with....I also really liked the enemies in this arc....lucci to me is far more badass than crocodile or even enel to some degree....he seems even more ruthless and implaccably cruel.....one piece is the only shonen series to me which has got progressively better....anyway, I far prefer these huge epic arcs to the more brief ones....one piece is an epic to me, very different in the form taken from other shounens like naruto and bleach etc

Kave_Man said:
I don't see why they would. Declaring war on the world government and attacking Enies Lobby isn't a positive thing as opposed to Luffy defeating Crocodile and saving a kingdom. Attacking Enies Lobby is even worse than their lie about Robin sinking ships.
As far as bounties, Luffy has to be at least 200 million. Zoro and Robin will likely be over 100 million (possibly higher than Luffy's previous bounty). Franky's will probably be a little lower than Robin and Zoro's. I'd guess Chopper, Nami, and Soge King will be in the 40-70 million ranges. I have a feeling Sanji won't get a bounty at all, just so Zoro can continue to make fun of him.

but one piece is so damn epic, it just a f**cking great adventure.
For people who are looking for a powerful and creative epic check out Houshin engi......its pretty damn good...at least its better than bleach ect....if you want a synopsis check it on google hehe...its based during the Warring Kingdoms period in china at the end of the Yin Dynasty
