How can someone read One Piece and think like this? There is a limit to how bad one's taste can be. | ||

Toriko,even tho it's kinda gay and dumb,holds a special place in my heart as well and is just good fun. I know that one myself and I swear that this is not as good as OP. The tone is wildly different, Gantz is much more serious with blood and death, but holy hell did it go downhill fast. Let's just name the big one, which is that the stakes were raised by killing almost all of humanity while the main characters girlfriend gets kidnapped. On the other hand OP is a light hearted story. A serious story with silly characters in a silly world. In a way the opposite of "the Hobbit", which is a silly story with serious characters in a serious world. Different degrees of seriousness for different people. I don't think I prefer one over the other as long as I like the style the story is told Anyway, Oda wouldn't be the first person on my ball-licking-list, but he wouldn't have to wait very long either. | ||

That and I think Franky looks totally silly now :D I love the completely ridiculous looks of some characters. Oda is a genius at making the most distorted people look badass when it matters. And then it just adds additional flavor to make it all more unique and interesting. I mean... Whitebeard had a giant banana mustache coming out of his nose but he was the most badass looking character. | ||

Giant banana mustaches are by default incredibly badass, so thats only natural. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/chmZAch.jpg) | ||

Has Oda explained anywhere exactly how the world government is run? Like the dynamics of the system and how it runs. Is there 1 person in a king like roll or is there like a council of celestial dragons (who I assume would be family heads) who control everything? How does this upper tier interact with the individual rulers of all the nations that are united are they basically like local rulers who have a lot of autonomy as long as they obey WG laws and give some sort of tribute or perhaps they are forced to provide manpower to stock the navy? | ||

I am thinking its kinda like the Aztec empire where there is a central authority but local rulers were given basically full autonomy as long as they followed the rules. I think its more than an alliance because I think that there is an upper group that can still control countries by threat of force if necessary. Edit: Also I wonder if the "D" characters are the descendants of the old kingdom that was destroyed by the WG back in the void century. | ||

We have the Marines, led by Sakazuki, think of him as the leader of the military forces. Above Sakazuki is the commander-in-chief, Kong. He seems to be like the president of a country... although very militant in nature. The Cipher Pol with its 10 known branches runs alongside the military as something like the CIA/NSA/FBI (they might also be under Kong's jurisdiction). Above the CPs and Kong is the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars). They seem to be the true rulers of the world government. I would guess the Gorosei are the elected leaders from amongst the Tenryubito (Celestial Dragons), but that is not confirmed by the manga yet. The Tenryubito are the descendants of 19 of the original 20 families that created the world government. It is unknown how many of them actually exist, but they are above all non-Tenryubito in political power (thus why I'd guess the Gorosei come from them). World Government nations seem to be given a significant amount of autonomy, but do bow down before the will of the World Government. I would guess the marines pull their membership from the various WG nations along with independent ones. We also recently learned that there are significant monetary offerings to the Tenryubito from the WG nations (Doflamingo intercepted one offering and used it as blackmail to become a Shichibukai). | ||
