Gold Roger wouldn't waste his wish on that. He would wish to have One piece. But I thought One piece granted him the wish to have One piece.................cosmic. Yeah, I don't think Gold Roger would've thought he would be executed.

Maybe he went and got himself caught on purpose. Gol. D. Roger's execution and him revealing a great treasure's existence to the people of the world were made to create an era for pirates. That would make sense imo.

Here's a question

Smoker's staff is made of seastone right? But it- it's touching his back, the WHOLE time. How come it doesn't cancel his power out then?

Lemme discuss everything so far in this forum! Woo. Each parts in order, so the "Seastone" comment is last.

I've been watching the newer episodes on youtube, which are subbed and uncut. You can find a lot of the episodes (not all of them). Go to http://youtube.com and search for "One Piece Episodes". Currently the latest subbed Episode is 263, while 264 has been released (today) it lacks subtitles.

I'm really hoping to see Gin and BonClay again and hopefully join up with the Muwigara(Straw-hats for you English types). Also I'm anxious to see just what Lafiette does. He's a member of Blackbeard's crew, but its pasty and Mime-looking (Very Very Creepy).

Blackbeard's life is debated (Most likely alive, Deaths are rare in One Piece). Though this might seem cheesey, as Gan Forr stated that Knockback stream either causes everyone to arrive alive or causes everyone to get killed.

Luffy doesn't care what One Piece is, he's merely after the "King of the Pirates" title he'll get if he finds it. My speculation is that "One Piece" is something like Gold Roger's hat... since he's not wearing one with his spiffy jacket in his execution scenes. Gold Roger is NOT Luffy's grandfather, rather the evidence goes to Nico Robin's childhood friend Former Vice-Admiral Jaguar D. Saul. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy_%2...Jaguar_D._Saul

Shanks doesn't seem interested in finding One Piece. He just seems more interested in leading a law-free Pirate's life. I highly doubt the final confrontation will be between Luffy and Shanks. I also doubt that Luffy will die in the series at all (despite brushes with death IE Admiral Aokiji) The final showdown in One Piece will most likely be Luffy against the Mysterious "Dragon" who was seen saving Luffy's butt in Rogue Town and later on is talked about by the Nation's Leaders.

Doukiri levels are physical attributes (combined score of strength, endurance, and agility) Examine Spandam's Doukiri of 9 with Lucci's Doukiri of 4000. Lucci is roughly 150 (4000 divided by 9,divided by the 3 attributes) times stronger, tougher, and faster than Spandam, as evidence that Spandam doesn't have any Rokushiki and doesn't fight (he does have an Elephant Sword though.) It is also evident that Rokushiki is "Attribute Breaking" wheras the maximum ability must be reached and surpassed.
I am anxious to see what people come up with as "Doukiri Levels"

Gold Roger wanted to be captured, as it would excite the great age of Piracy. Gold Roger could read Poneglyphs like Robin can, and realized the only true freedom from the World Government would be to excite a bunch of freedom loving rebels (pirates!)

Just the tip of Smoker's staff is sea-stone. Smoker uses a Seastone tipped staff to catch Devil-Fruit users, much in the same way CP9 has the Seastone handcuffs. Thats why Smoker can use his powers with the staff on his back.

Only the tip of Smoker's staff is made out of seastone, yes, but didn't Smoker also have a sheath for the staff, so maybe the seastone doesn't affect him that way.

Maybe Zoro should do that with his swords. Then he'd have a much easier time defeating devil fruit users.

Zoro is not a swordbuilder, and isn't skilled at much else other than being strong and having good techniques and sleeping. Though it would prove valuable, its just not his forte.

Maybe there's a sword made out seastone hidden somewhere in the Grand Line.

Crayne

I doubt there is. But if there is, I doubt Zoro would take it. He might think that he wants to defeat his enemies with his own power and techniques, instead of using accesories. If anyone were to ever get a weapon made out of Sea Stone, I say Nami or Usopp.

Usopp needs to get ahold of some definately. If he had some he could've very easily beaten Luffy in their duel.

Perhaps one of the deeper fights in One Piece. If you have not seen the fight, go to youtube (I listed it previously) and look up One Piece Episode 236.

Hey, you know what guys? Are we even sure things are going to be the same after this? Maybe Usopp might not go back with Luffy and Co. And what new transport are they going to use. So many questions. So little patience

If Usopp isn't going to return with Luffy then I'm sure Sogeking will. I'm also very certain that Franky is going to join with Luffy's crew as their Shipwright.

Most likely Galley-La and Iceburg will have a ship built for Luffy and crew when they return to Water 7, or will build them a new ship upon arriving back at Water 7. "Here's a gift from Galley-La and Franky Family!" etc.

Most important is the character's bounties.

Luffy currently has a bounty of 100 Mil. Its expected to go up to 200+ Mil, since he and his crew took part in taking down Enies Lobby.
Zoro currenly has a bounty of 60 Mil. His is expected to go up as well, but at best minorly, considering his only two opponents were Kaku of CP9 and Captain T-Bone of the Marines.

Nami might get a bounty, though its still doubtful. If anything she'll get a bounty because Kalifa mistook her for the "Monster" Chopper that is demolishing the place.

Sogeking(Usopp) is guaranteed to get some kind of bounty for burning the World Governement's flag. Though his bounty might not exceed 50 Mil.

I believe this is when Sanji gets his bounty too, he went solo going into the Puffing Tom Sea Train, and defeated CP6 and CP7 leaders along with other things. I anticipate his bounty to be around 40 Mil.

Chopper probably won't get a bounty unless Kafika figures out that Nami isn't the monster.

Robin's bounty is currently 79,000,00, though I don't expect it to go up at all, but that could very easily change depending on how desperate the Marines are to obtain and use the Pluton.

Franky doesn't have a bounty yet, which I think is odd considering he's a crime boss of Water 7. Franky is practically guaranteed a bounty of 100 Mil+ should he escape Enies Lobby with the plans to the Pluton.

HOW CAN YOU NOT EXPECT SHE WON'T GO UP!?!?! She almost has 90% chance of going up. The whole of CP9 wants her dead plus the marines. And if she survives through this they'll all be desperate to get rid of her. By any means necessary.
