A big part of my lost interest in OP is it got too serious business and too chummy with the top pirates. What enchanted me with OP originally was Luffy was bulldozing his own path in the world, conquering nature, government and destiny in the name of fun/adventure. And he was ruthless toward anyone who messed with that. It made him a romantic pirate, but believable as a pirate, because he was no saint and had a mean streak in him.
Since then, things have come across as Luffy being the chosen heir to an exclusive club with Blackbeard being the outsider trying to fight his way in. Blackbeard's swapped roles with Luffy and I didn't like that.

To those of you keeping up AND are a part of the FB community:
From now on, this will be what I'll always think of when a bidding war arises (I'd add the picture to the post if it weren't so dam large)

As much as I love Sunny, I still miss Merry. The entire Water 7 arc had so many moments of raw emotion that I can't think of an arc in any other series that provoked a similar response.

Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo,
Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo, Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo, Yo-hohoho, Yohohohoo, Going to deliver Binks' Sake! Following the sea breeze! Riding on the waves! Far across the salty depths! The merry evening sun! The birds sing as they draw circles in the sky ! Farewell to the harbor, To my old hometown Lets all sing out with a Don! As the ship sets sail Waves of gold and silver dissolve to salty spray As we all set sail to the ends of the sea Going to deliver Binks' Sake! We are pirates sailing through the Sea! The waves are our pillows, The ship our roost Flying the proud skull on our flags and our sails Now comes a storm through the far-off sky Now the waves are dancing, Beat upon the drums If you lose your nerve this breath could be your last But if you just hold on, The morning sun will rise Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Going to deliver Binks' Sake! Today, and tomorrow, our dreams through the night! Waving our goodbyes, we'll never meet again! But don't look so down, For at night the moon will rise! Going to deliver Binks' Sake! Let's all sing it with a Don! A song of the waves Doesn't matter who you are, Someday you'll just be bones Never-Ending, Ever-wandering, Our funny Traveling tale! Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho, Yo-hohoho.

I don't get it. Is this some kind of hype-meme?

I don't get how you guys got access to that info, I've got special priveleges on Arlong Park and everything. I read the spoiler and was like "so? " because apparently by that time, the twist was edited out.
Oh well. I saw Luffy's expression and put two and two together immediately.

It's been awhile since I have been to a bookstore and have been able to buy any of the manga, when I get there I see we have up to Vol 70 now in the states... and I forgot what was the last one I bought... I have a lot of them to buy to catch up now.
Also, how has the Funimation dub been doing? I haven't been able to keep up with much of its release. |

I will never understand sentiment like that.
It's a freaking boat.

Mozz, Loki, Kuno...I'm sorry to say it, but One Piece is outright bad now.
It was on life support for years. But this, this is unambiguously when One Piece jumped the shark.

I think it's better than ever but to each their own.

not going to click on the link because I could get spoiled (even though I'm still like 800 episodes behind or something like that lol) but lots of the general spoiler-free chatter I've heard from friends is more along the lines of what Kuno has said which makes me excited to see where it goes
also I think the dub is really good, that's what I've been watching

I think that might be some selection bias at work. One Piece has had more readers drop it than any other manga - but if you're 1000+ chapters or 800+ episodes invested you're likely to never get turned away.
I though, dropped One Piece during the time skip. To me that's the delineation where the quality becomes unacceptable. Even if you still like the story (I don't), the artwork has unquestionably declined, even as Oda has hired more assistants so he doesn't have to draw anything but the colour spreads. From the people I've spoken to - people who dropped it all points from the timeskip on, the sentiment has been universally negative. Not quite as atomic as the end of Shingeki no Kyojin, but still strong disapproval.
