OP 431

[xparrot]

Regarding One Piece ch.431.

HOMG Odacchi, my love for you is eternal. Eternal.

I have one important question:

Are Coby and Helmeppo actually as hot as it kinda looks like they might be? XD


(Okay, one more thing - is the new nakama actually gonna be the ship? Because Luffy is so gonna be wanting to talk to his new ship.

"Hello, ship! What's your name? Hello~, shi~p!"

"How long is he going to be doing that? He's been at it for two weeks!"

"Well...until it answers, I guess?")

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THIS POST.

You KNOW that Coby-meppo won't actually be hot... it's only been like 3 months. (Doesn't stop me from hopin' anyway though. >_>)

AND HOLY SHIT. DAMN STRAIGHT JIICHAN. IT'S ABOUT TIME.

Thank you for finally addressing something I wanted you to address, Oda. JEEBUS.

Well, 3 months is a rough estimate, it's never been said exactly how long they've been in the Grand Line (has it?). Besides, Bon Clay got hot in significantly less time. There is hope! XD

Oh, you knew the Jii-chan thing was going to come up eventually!! Oda answers all...eventually. And again I don't think anyone was predicting this one (even though someone just pointed out that in the original pilot, Luffy's grandpa had the same char design as Garp, and bwaha Oda-sensei you are such a genius, to put it right under our noses all along...!)

I don't think there's been a definite answer yet (I'd have to check the SBSes), but in the AP forums people were guesstimating how much time had passed in the story and it is somewhere between 3-4 months, going by Nami's costume changes. At most, 6 months.

Good point about Bon Clay, though. It's just also one of Oda's favorite visual gags to do the 'look, they might be hot--oh wait, they're totally weird looking!' bait-and-switch. So consider me... cautiously optimistic. XD;

And I KNEW he'd answer the Jii-chan question someday. I just wasn't counting on SO SOON. And you're right, in the original Romance Dawn, Grandpa = Garp. Goddamn you Oda. You're so sly. I love you.
