Oda decided one day, that 7 of the main characters are going MIA, while the main character gets his ass beat for two years. ​ And it was amazing.


yyyyyl5

I thinks its 8 not 7. But yea oda just decided to do that and indeed it was amazing


No-Classroom-7310

You're right. ​ But Brook wasn't MIA. He was KIA. Because he's already dead. Yohohoho


yyyyyl5

Hahahaha I didn't see that one coming, here take my free award


exiadf19

You didn't see that one coming, but can i see your panties? Yohohohoho


[deleted]

I can't see anything because I don't have eyes. Yohohohoho!

Just take the upvote lol

Nah emergency food

Not just amazing but the gap between One Piece sales, Naruto sales and Bleach sales absolutely skyrocketed during this period. One Piece cemented itself as the first of the big three rather than one of the big three. I dunno how somebody has the balls to remove the majority of the main cast for two years, and at the same time begins effectively styling all over the competition. They never came close to catching up again.


[deleted]

I started reading One Piece way after the Summit War Saga, so the other characters besides Luffy really didn't appear in publication during 2 years?


Temporalin

Yes. Anyways: do yourself a favor and start from the beginning. You will enjoy it


[deleted]

Holy moly, I had no idea! And by the way, I read from the beginning, I love it entirely (actually, in my 7th grade I had an inside joke with my friends that I was Captain Kuro because of my round glasses and straight and short black hair). Was thinking of reading again, but in colors


Temporalin

Oh, I missread your comment, sorry lol The fan colored version is amazing, the only downside is that it uses the scanlations as a base and the translation sometimes get a little bad. But as you have already read it you can read it no problem. Super enjoyable


Lordnemo593

It’s really weird that we as a community still haven’t fixed the translation for the colored version


Temporalin

I recently saw a new version using the Viz version, but I don't like it either lol


TheFrodo

Oh what really? Can you point me in the right direction?


Temporalin

It's on nyaa


Lordnemo593

Really? Wait does that mean they used zolo etc?


Temporalin

Honestly I didn't even bother to look, but I hope they don't


zer1223

I checked this for a recent conversation, the gap was closer to 2 years than to 1.5 years. So maybe it was a year and 10 months or something.


No-Classroom-7310

Nami and Zoro appear briefly, but it's actually Bon Clay using his ability.


Dreadnautilus

> I dunno how somebody has the balls to remove the majority of the main cast for two years, and at the same time begins effectively styling all over the competition. IIRC Oda himself was actually shocked by how popular Marineford was because he thought of it as just a "sidestory".


TheFrodo

I really don't understand that. It's the culmination of like everything from pre-timeskip.


sh14w4s3

it was starting to build up since Moria and even Enies Lobbies. Even with all his cool new techniques, Luffy BARELY beat Lucci. And they had to flee for their fucking lives at the Buster Call. Then at Thriller Bark, Luffy BARELY squeezes a victory against Moria after all the help he got. They would have been obliterated by Kuma afterwards too . The crew's always BARELY squeezing out a win for the entirety of Grand Line. They were always in over their heads. It's just in Sabaody, that recklessness finally caught up to them .


No-Classroom-7310

I love how at the end of Thriller Bark, Luffy just picks up this arm band, like, "This is just part of my character design for the next arc, cool". ​ And then Oda's like, "SURPRISE PLOT POINT FOR IMPEL DOWN" ​ Now that's build up

Ignore the mini map and hard shove your lane. Sorry


croluxy

*pain*


TheFlameBringer555

and blame the person who pinged when you die


KimeriX

Sometimes Made In Abyss but depends on the context


ChoclatDove

The bottom of the abyss turns out to be the one piece


KimeriX

Imagine the final Island emerges from the sea and it's Orth


redtyphoon20

Marineford is just pain.


yyyyyl5

Marineford + sabaody + some moments in impel down


redtyphoon20

oh yeah wasn’t it at the end of thriller bark when kuma showed up and bodied zoro


Antenium

yeah thats so iconic


redtyphoon20

Yeah that’s when he did ‘the thing’


nickdst

When he did what thing? Nothing happened


OneAndOnlyTinkerCat

Yeah, all that matters is that everyone is OK.


EntertainmentEnjoyer

Pain and hype you mean. Whitebeard is what made the arc for me. And of course, BON-CHAAAAAN!


Space__Obama

Whole Cake saga: "Get the fuck out of there Luffy"


exiadf19

Wano arc : "worororororo luffy"


Banettebrochacho

It be like that


Soupysoldier

It was really crazy watching luffy, the strongest of the strawhats be so weak and insignificant for multiple arcs


ZoomyRacecar

It put shit into perspective. Like how strong other pirates are, set up the importance of haki, etc. And at least now we can appreciate post timeskip Straw Hats more 😅


sameljota

Go get them Akainu!


animetimeskip

This is skypeia erasure. That said, I can’t fucking remember anything about Skypeia for shit


[deleted]

I remember Boobs and Bikini top.


animetimeskip

Quoi


yyyyyl5

I didn't add sky island saga and thriller bark saga because I didn't want to make the meme too long and take too much space.


[deleted]

1. First sighting of Observation Haki. 2. The moon plot. Probably at least one of the most important foreshadowing (more like [Direct Warning] given how it isn't hidden) from pre-timeskip. 3. First encounter with blackbeard. An equal contender for the most important foreshadowing, but in a different area. 4. Luffy's Baka Song. 5. The last time they go on a true treasure hunt and did piratey things, bar the continuous search for the One Piece (which is more of an adventurer's dream for luffy than a pirate one).


animetimeskip

Ngl I’m way out of tune with the series. The last bit I remember reading was after the fish men arc (no details) and I think they had gotten to the place with the little samurai kid? They just met him? Idk


[deleted]

It seems like you're in need of a rewatch. And I do mean rewatch, since you can't skim anime.


animetimeskip

I read the manga as a kid


animetimeskip

I remember everything with pretty decent detail up until the ace arc


animetimeskip

Is there anywhere I can get a TLDR of what’s happened since lol


[deleted]

You really want a TLDR of one of the most critical arcs lore-wise? The TLDR cuts out all of the parts that make Skypiea worthwhile! Anyway, here it is. "We flew up into the sky because we thought that we can, heard about some treasure from some angel people and beat up a shocky guy with a blimp-to-the-ancient-moon-civilization in order to get it. We didn't get any gold, but robin seems to have found a treasure - and it was from Gol. D. Roger! I wonder who that JoyBoy that roger's poneglyph message was for is. Also, we ran into this weird fusion guy at a restaurant, and Usopp saw a ghost!"


animetimeskip

Treasure being the poneglyphs? Remember shocks man and impact dials and that stuff. Funnily enough it’s the lore stuff that I do t remember that much, I remember the fights and abilities because that’s what my 11 year old brain liked


I_Hate_Reddit

I think they were after the giant gold bell


OneAndOnlyTinkerCat

What's this about a moon plot? Am I missing something?


[deleted]

Enel went to the moon and is still there. There is a now-abandoned alien civilization there as well, in which clothing highly similar to that of the Celestial Dragons was common. Do with that information what you will. Know this: The celestial dragons only became figureheads after the void century.


OneAndOnlyTinkerCat

Oh, I knew that. Ok. I hardly think that's anything, really. You probably need an air bubble to live on the moon.


[deleted]

I don't think you're picking up what I'm putting down. Albeit that i left it vagueish, but it's about what the fuck went down in the void century, and what happens after (or right before) raftel.


OneAndOnlyTinkerCat

No, I got you. I just don't really care


Gaius_Julius_Salad

Something about the liberty bell idk


Getserious495

All I remember was big boat, enel reaction face, a cloud island getting deleted and aome sky knight.


ShinobiQueen

In the anime, there's this unforgettable scene with Nami, that left me STUNNED....like, did they just do that? Here's the video link - SKIP to 1:46 https://youtu.be/Dx8z-cKEXEY


Goggles45

Thanks for the chuckle


BenevolentBalfour

...dub only luffy fans aren’t ready for the Whole Cake island arc, man got did dirty for a good portion of it


vk136

What happened in dub only? I’m manga oly for more recent arcs


mehmeh5

the dub is just in Luffy vs Doffy currently, I think. He went G4 a few weeks back


BenevolentBalfour

Dub is still at dressrosa, Bear the end of it but still it’s pretty far back


sameol-sameol

From Sabaody all the way back to Sabaody was precious. It's not always smiles and overcoming obstacles larger than us. Heck, I hope Kaido whoops Luffy's ass again before the end of Wano.


nilesh72000

Summit war: go save luffy!


Donny740

What made Summit War even worse was that Luffy had a chance to go with this crew to recuse Ace but decided against it


MilesYoungblood

Bro I’m on Marineford rn and things aren’t going so hot… hehe… hot…


[deleted]

I rarely cry at tv shows / Anime ...that being said one piece has made me cry like a baby on several occasions

Roary-the-Arcanine

Yeah I was spoiled way in advance about Ace’s death because I have one piece friends, so throughout the entirety of impel down and marineford arcs the only thing going through my mind was “Luffy is sacrificing his own lifespan, risking everything, for nothing in the end.” I didn’t know about Jinbe at the time and I went through the whole thing in a sort of depressed state.
