Had a strong feeling that by "that man" he actually meant Luffy. More than anything it feels to me that he has been a friend of Ace and just wants his brother to have it. Might be totally different though. Sabo theory still possible.
I get that feeling as well, but honestly it's just pure speculation.

Can i just get a Yes or No without near-spoilers (reading this thread just spoils shit 3 million ep's in the future lol.) if Luffy's subplot will be ANYTIME soon? Im currently watching the wapol / nami sick plot. (reindeer OP.) Also, this is literally the only intro to an anime ive ever enjoyed - http://www.watchcartoononline.com/one-piece-episode-89-english-dubbedEDIT: Shit me, Buggy is still around? that guys a pansy where im watching right now lol. Dude you gotta get out of this thread man. You're literally over a decade behind the current manga. lol. I think the Wapol arc aired in 2001. If you get spoiled now, there's hundreds of episodes ruined! Give me two months and i shall return :3 I know im probably going to get spoilered coming into this thread, but OP so awesome i want to talk about it, my wife just tells me Luffy looks like a retard, i should divorce her
he does look like one (and often acts stupid as well). I think I would describe him as goofy - not the smartest, likes to fool around, gets easily sidetracked and fooled, but power of friendship etc blabla makes him strong. Don't divorce her.
As for Dragon - so in the anime the people were saved by an explosion, so Dragon has the explosion fruit? Would fit pretty well, given he is a terrorist :p
also I'm not yet convinced by the colosseum fights. The wax guy back in the days (Mr. 3) was much funnier. I really liked that guy and his abilities, and I still hope he one day joins the crew.

One per person with the exception of Blackbeard who can somehow have more.

Don't forget Blackbeard's been hunting for more devil fruits during the 2 year timeskip and by that I mean taking the fruit powers from the users.

Hold on right there..... Are you sure? If the new world is the "halfway mark" of the story, and he really does ever complete it, i think it will definitely be the greatest manga ever. It's certainly the most popular of all time (in japan).
The way oda separates out the feelings associated with each character, so that robin's storyline chapters are suddenly (relatively) really dark and serious, where as many other lighthearted characters keep it well, light... The way the story shows cohesiveness, (believable) connections in newer plot developments with things very early on (written more then ten years apart), the ridiculous breathtaking scale of the whole story, one piece is really a masterpiece. It's the asoiaf of Shounen.

Are you saying that barto is sabo or that the man he's referring to is sabo

I kind of hope Bartho is refering to Sabo as "that man." But the only thing i have to support this wishful thinking is that Sabo would want the fruit for the same reason Luffy wants it, because it is his sword brothers fruit. But I think is Sabo is alive he probably lost his memory if not he wouldve made an effort to contact Luffy or Ace by now.

To ME it is the greatest manga ive read so far. Sure, it doesnt have the things some other mangas have, but they in return dont have things that one piece has. I dont think its that 'obvious' at all. If anything, its just a matter of taste. Ive read mangas where I had something like "wow, this is really good", but there is no manga I am so excited about every week as I am for One Piece.

Without a doubt One Piece stands out not only as a manga but also as a story in general.
The happy go lucky attitude and carelessness of luffy keep the tone light through most of the story, but every so often one gets a glimpse at the serious world behind that.
The world of OP is cruel and unjust, but much like people do in real life, the people in OP try to be optimistic, keep up a happy facade or distract themselves with everyday live.
To have these extremes in mood in a story without the changes feeling disruptive is in my opinion very rare.
Remember, the people of most of the islands the strawhats visited truly felt distressed or threatened by the villains. I find that easy to forget sometimes.

The sad thing with the OP is that even in 2009 One Piece was considered by many as the greatest manga ever

Why is that a sad thing? I have yet to watch or read anything manga/anime that is even close to One Piece.
|
I mean whenever i go on the first page and I reread the first posts, it makes me sad to see the little consideration it got at the time! OP was in its 11th year of serialization though
|
I wonder if Blackbeard is like one of those Chimera people that has patches of his body that is different genetically so in the OP world he can technically be "two people" and have two fruits. I remember someone saying it had to do with the way his body is. Mmm
|
The Chimera theory is based off weak evidence. The whole thing started with either Zoro or Luffy saying "them" when referring to Blackbeard making some to believe Blackbeard is more than one person when it probably just meant his crew that were nearby. Sure it would explain how he is able to use multiple DF because he is more than human, but I don't think there is any strong evidence chimera is the explanation for BB's multiple DF.

and the tripple skulled flag, there's quite a lot of evidence to support it to be honest, though far from concrete i think its as good an explanation as you could hope for at this stage.
|
it's not so weak if you think about Marco's "His Body is not normal" statement and how blackbeard was shown with the "claw weapon" ( that inflicted shank's scar) which is very similar to how the paw's of a chimera/cerberus are often shown if you google image it.
^yeah and of course the jolly roger flag from blackbear has 3 skulls
I wouldn't call the theory weak at all.

I was basing it off of a comment by a whitebeard pirate who was talking about the nature of blackbeard's body being why he can probably do it.
I didn't know him being a Chimera was already thrown out there as an idea already haha.

How about they just said his body wasn't normal because... it isn't? And maybe that's all there is to it?
Who actually thought that Blackbeard's body was normal after he himself explained how his body wasn't that of an ordinary logia user but also not a paramecia. His power has negated devil fruit powers ever since. His ability seems to be an abnormal one, as he said himself. Gravitation, a black hole... sucking things in. That goes very much in line with absorbing powers.
|
So, do you believe his body is abnormal due to his fruit, not due to his body being abnormal before he ever got a fruit?
While I could see that working, I just have to wonder why no one else thought about getting his hands on that fruit first.
All I can come up with is that blackbeard is the only one who knew how it worked, which was why he was so desperate to get his hands on that specific fruit in the first place. Which would make sense I guess. It seems a pretty OP devil fruit, but it might be interesting to see how some DF's work together.
