One Piece 524

[popkin16]

So as I was reading chapter 524, I was thinking....

ZORO IS BACK ZORO IS BACK ZORO IS BACK!

And with Perona. WTF ODA, WTF? She laughs that he's been injured, then attemps to bandage him and succeeds in only making him look like a mummy. But never fear Zoro, you look hot even all mummified

Also, Nami and Franky landed on island that can help them get stronger. But...Zoro stuck with Perona? OH GOD, WILL ZORO GET HIS FIRST FANGIRL? Sanji has a bunch, though those are more fanboys. Since they're all very gay former-villains that are hot for our favorite cook's body. But he belongs to Zoro, so back off bitches. Anyway, I don't see the point of Ussop, Chopper, Robin, or Brook's islands. OMG, BROOK ASKED TO SEE PANTIES AND THIS TIME HE REALLY WILL. THAT PERVERTED SKELETON WILL HAVE HIS REQUEST FULFILLED!

It was wonderful seeing everybody again, especially Zoro. Of course. But now that I remember -- OMG ACE. NOOOO ACE, DON'T WISH TO DIE! You know it's serious when someone with The Will of D wishes to die. AND MIHAWK, OH MY GOD WE GOT TO SEE MIHAWK. He was all chillin' with his legs up, his huge ass sword on his back lookin' all pimp-like. And let me say, seeing Smoker again was very nice -- he seems to get sexier every time I see him.

Whitebeard is going to be ownin' some fools, that's basically what Garp was saying. I'm excited to see what he (Whitebeard) does.

HOW CAN ODA CREATE SO MANY AWESOME CHARACTERS? HOW CAN HE WRITE SUCH AN AWESOMESAUCE CHAPTER? Zoro, Ussop, Chopper, Robin, Brook, Smoker, Mihawk, and Ace. All in one chapter. *Foams at the mouth from over-excitement*

There are still chances of getting a crewmemeber later on, but it would have to be someone with a similar history to Nami or Brook, and that would be overdoing it. A former villain, now, we haven't had that yet.
Much as I hate it, Hancock's chances of getting into the crew look high. She doesn't seem willing to get very far from Luffy, after all. >_<

Each of them actually have several of them, and it's not only catchphrases; it's sometimes just a gesture, or a particular way of laughing, or a particular way of crying. The show is awesome, and it's a pity most of it is unstralatable (if that is even a word. :P).

I've loved Johnny and Yosaku since the first time I saw them, and deeply mourned the fact that they never joined the crew. Their war cry of "Aniki!" was a joy to the soul. But they weren't strong enough. >_<
And in my book: love 'em, slash 'em!
Though there is the occasional character that I find unslashable... like Ed from FMA, for example.

I generally have my OTP in each series I watch, but I also enjoy the occasional alternate pairing, if only for the creativity required in making it work. For example, there was a certain open request for a Kurogane/Doumeki that's making my plotbunnies restless... they do love a challenge. And those two haven't even met.
The problem would be to get someone to read it after it's done. XD

(BTW, I'm re-reading Tsubasa now and I'm up to Piffle world, in case you wanted to do the same and share insights. ^^)

There's always a chance more members will join, but I can't see Oda having 3 arcs in a row that have new crew members joining. There was Water 7/Enies Lobby, Thriller Bark, and now this one? If you think about it, Robin might be considered a former villain. But that depends on perspective, I suppose. If Hancock joins, I'll be so upset! I don't care for her.

I see. It's too bad that I wouldn't be able to understand it :(

ZORO FANBOYS! Those two were totally Zoro fanboys. XD I love it, since most people seem to think Fanboys = Sanji. YES That's the rule of thumb with yaoi. There should be a sign, "Yaoi: Love 'Em, Slash 'Em!" I like Ed from FMA with Roy, actually. I prefer Ed to be an adult though, since he's only like 15 in the series or something?

Yeah, me too. That's why I say "One Piece OTP" or "xxxHolic OTP". S;KDJFAS;KD KUROGANE/DOUMEKI WOULD BE SO HOT. ♥ moe81 wrote those One Piece/TRC crossovers, and all it made me want is some Doumeki/Kurogane/Zoro interaction. Three of the greatest characters ever....*_*
HAHA I'd read your Kurogane/Doumeki, and I think you'd be surprised at the number of people that would be willing.

(I was just wondering what I should read besides One Piece -- TRC is a good choice. I'll start tonight! Which world is Piffle?)

We may not care for her now, but knowing oda-sensei, if she joined he would make us like her soon enough. He's sneaky that way. :P

Zoro's amazing if he managed to get his own fanboys when he wasn't even that strong yet (ok, he was frigging strong already, but I'm talking relatively here ^^U).
Come to think of it, that sounds good enough for an icon. Maybe we should let slip that phrase to some of the icon-making goddesses... *ponders*

The thing is, I prefer Ed with Winry. She's an amazing character and I think they make a cute couple (because you know that a tool to the head means love XD). I can like het too. :x
Incidentally, my fav character all around in FMA is Izumi-sensei. She's one of my fav female characters of all time. XD
And as a side note? Her hubby looks startlingly like my dad. Only, my dad has eyebrows... but he also looks scary without meaning to. XD
Oh, I have your problem, too. He’s too young to be with Roy right now. The thing is, I prefer my couples to be more or less the same age (with very few exceptions). I can only accept a young character in a pairing if the other party is young too. For example, I think that Gon and Killua from Hunter x Hunter would make a cute couple (both being around twelve), but Gon x Hisoka (about thirty) or any other would make me puke (despite actually having hard evidence -yep, that kind of "hard evidence"- in canon that Hisoka is after Gon. Darn paedophiliac >_<). I had serious issues accepting some canon clamp couples because of the same reason. >_<

Piffle world is the one about the race. Right now I'm at the part just after the preliminaries ended.

True...I wasn't sure about Franky joining, and now I can't imagine the Straw-hats without him. He fits right in :D

Zoro got his first fanboys when his Enies Lobby bounty came out -- the little boys at the dojo Zoro's sensei runs were all fanboying over him, lol. And Yosaku and Johnny were weak compared to Zoro, so I could see them totally looking up to him. Wasn't Zoro known for being strong, anyway? At the time, in East Blue, I mean. Now he's like "H'oh my god!" strong. Does what I said make sense?

Mm, I like Winry, but Roy and Ed have such a wonderful relationship, I just love reading fics where Roy pisses Ed off. OH, I like het too, there are several series where the pairing I ship is a boy and a girl (it's just incredibly rare).

Izumi-sensei is so strong, you really have to admire her. HAHAHA, really? That's so cool! My dad alarms my friend's too, though that's more because he's covered in tattoo's. He's a sweetie, though. Really!

I think Younger/Older romantic relationship can work, but it'll really take effort and committment. But really, I'll ship anybody together if they have great interaction as long as one isn't like, 5 and the other 20. I-I'm not familiar with Hunter x Hunter, I'm sorry. Oh, really? Which Clamp couples? I don't know that many Clamp series.

OOO, right! Kurogane's reaction to seeing his Princess is hilarious XD

[anyjen.livejournal.com]

He was actually known to be so strong he was dubbed a "demon", even in his pirate-hunting days. Now that he is a pirate...
And yes, that makes perfect sense. It's Zoro we're talking about. XD

I also liked Greed (the original one) a lot. He was so cool... *sighs*
It's uncanny how much they look alike. It's almost as if they had seen a picture of my dad and thought of creating Izumi-sensei's hubby (is he even given a name? I can't remember...) to look like him. My dad is tall, has a considerable belly and muscular arms, a bushy beard, is dark-haired, and often looks scary without meaning to. His face is just naturally like that. He has to make a conscious effort to make it look less threatening. XD

Two of them are background couples in CCS, as a matter of fact. It's dealt with with a lost of taste and there's not even a kiss between any of the characters (even Sakura and Syaoran barely hug once), but those two couples still make me weary. If you read CCS you'll probably know who I'm talking about soon enough. :P
The rest of the couples I don't quite like are in X. I'm not too fond of the "I love you, thus I kill you/let you kill me" thingy some of the characters have going. -_-

Hunter x Hunter is an awesome manga (haven't watched the anime, so I can't say whether it's any good). It's dark, violent and bloody, but it has awesome plots and wonderful characters... even if there is the random WTF character and situation (case in point: Hisoka, the paedophiliac psycho. At one point he cuts off his own arm and munches on it for a little bit. He later has it re-attached, little eaten bits missing and all. Even the other psychos in the series are weary of him). It's by the same guy who did Yuu Yuu Hakusho (you may have heard about Hiei and Kurama?).
