Haki ability

Posted by Admin in April 12th, 2010 ( 14,421 views )

Haki is briefly explain in One Piece. There are a lot of questions that involves Haki but still remain in the dark. Haki can be said as the power that is driven from willpower.

Luffy firstly use Haki when he was fighting with Druval’s bull. It seems that Luffy managed to make the bull fainted with foaming mouth by just looking at the bull. That is so like Haki. Previously, Shanks also did the same at the time he make a deal with Whitebeard. While he was walking inside Whitebeard ship, a lot of Whitebeard pirates fainted. This is due to Haki or willpower.

Luffy is confirmed to have Haki when he was fighting with the Gorgon sisters; Marygold and Sandersonia. Just when Sandersonia try to break Margaret (which had beLuffyHakiFinalen turned into stone), Luffy shout loudly to ask Sonia to stop and suddenly a lot of warriors at bench fainted. According to the sisters, Luffy has the most powerful type of Haki that is called Haoshoku Haki.

In my opinion, Haki was firstly mention at Skypiea. Do you remember Mantra? Mantra is an ability that some Skypiea residents have. Mantra user can read and predict opponent movements just like the Gorgon sisters did when they fought Luffy. Although there isn’t a single word in One Piece that declared Mantra is Haki yet, but I believe so.

Haki is an important key in One Piece that is full with devil fruit users. By using Haki, logia type DF user would have solid body and thus made they can be touched and hurt. Slivers Rayleigh had proven this when he managed to touch Kizaru that has logia ability.

Haki users:

Below is a few people that is already confirmed to have Haki ability in One Piece.

  • Monkey D. Luffy
  • Silvers Rayleigh
  • Shanks
  • Edward Newgate
  • Marco
  • Vista
  • Boa Hancock

Haoshoku Haki users:

Among the Haki users, there are a few that have the most powerful type of Haki that is Haoshoku Haki.

  • Monkey D. Luffy
  • Boa Hancock
  • Shanks
  • Edward Newgate

Questions:

  • Can anybody learn Haki or Haki is limited to certain people only?
  • What happen to logia DF user when Haki is applied to them? Do they become powerless or they just have solid body but their ability still remains?

Warcraft map: Bleach vs One Piece

bleach vs one piece

If you are a hardcore Warcraft player you should know about Bleach vs One Piece since that is among the famous map in Warcraft. For those who never touch Warcraft yet, you need to install Warcraft first before you can play the map for Bleach vs One Piece.

For the latest updates, a lot more characters from both anime are available. You can even use the latest crews from Straw Hat Pirates that are Brooke and Franky as heroes. Besides that, I am sure you would have a lot of fun in testing their power. If you follow One Piece and Bleach, I am sure you would have an easy time to master the hero that you chosen.

Most of all, this game can be played alone. So if you feel that you are suck in playing game, don’t worry about that and just play alone. However I am sure that you would enjoy more by playing multiplayer with your friends.


chapter 580: End of the War

one piece-SHANKS PIRATE

Woo hoo.. suddenly Shanks show up in the middle of the war just when Coby needs help. Looks like Shanks is buying for Luffy to get away. Shanks also get back his straw hat (that Luffy had left) and ask Buggy to return it to Luffy by making fake promise.

In this chapter, you would see how incredible Shanks is when he try to stop the war. Shanks challenges everyone that still want to continue the war to face him first. Looks like there isn’t any who oppose him. I don’t know whether it is because of Shanks or they just really don’t want to continue the fight anymore. Teach already got the power he desired, and the marines already had Ace and Whitebeard go to death. And from the previous chapter it looks like, Hawk Eye doesn’t even want to face Shanks at all. I believe that there was some agenda between those two.

That’s how Shanks appearance become the closing event of the greatest war since the beginning of the Great Age of Pirates.

Hmm, I wonder where Trafalgar Law will take Luffy.


chapter 577: One Outrageous Development after Another

Posted by Admin in April 10th, 2010 ( 2,734 views )

blackbeard teach 

Whitebeard has died and the war arena is so shocked about it. Something seem fishy about Blackbeard pirates. Looks like they are trying to do something with Whitebeard body. They take a black cloth and cover it around Whitebeard body with Teach being inside too. I don’t really know what happen inside but after the ritual finish Teach seems to have double ability that is his ‘black hole’ ability and the ‘earthquake’ ability. Damn, Teach just stolen Whitebeard ability.

Meanwhile, Akainu is still trying to kill Luffy. Lucky there are Jimbei and Ivankov to protect Luffy that is still in shocked of Ace death. Perhaps Luffy lost consciousness already.

At the end of the chapter, Teach try to use his new ability at the marine plaza. Satisfied with his ability, he claims that his era is just starting. That’s what he claimed. I am sure that is nothing more than a nonsense. Luffy gonna beat Teach in not so long. Cannot wait for the confront.

Questions:

  • How does Teach managed to have double ability? Is it really because of Teach? Or is it because of the power of one of the Level 6 Impel Down pirates that he just recruited? Or is it because the power of the black cloth that is used to cover both Whitebeard and Teach? Who is Teach actually?
  • Is Teach able to take any ability from the death? Since Whitebeard already dead when he done something in the black cloth. Or is it valid for a certain period of time after death only?

chapter 576: Great Pirate Edward Newgate

Posted by Admin in April 10th, 2010 ( 5,736 views )

whitebeard death

The marine plaza is being shocked by the appearance of a few dangerous pirates that have become a part of Blackbeard crew. According to the marine, those are:

  • San Juan Wolf (The Pirate “Colossal Battleship”)
  • Abalo Pizarro (Wicked King)
  • Busco Shot (Mighty Drinker)
  • Catarina Devon (New Moon Hunter)
  • Shiryuu of the Rain (remember the Head Gaoler from earlier chapter?)

This is so like Oda. Even in a serious war scenery Oda managed to promote a few new characters. Among the infamous characters, it looks like Shiryuu that was a Head Gaoler of Impel Down has changed side and now become a part of Blackbeard pirates.

In this chapter we would know the real reason Teach (Blackbeard) join shichibukai that is to infiltrate the Impel Down so that he can free the infamous pirates and make them apart of his crew.

Seeing that Teach appears at the war, Whitebeard wouldn’t miss this chance to destroy Teach. Just when Whitebeard in the act to kill Teach, other pirates from Blackbeard attack him simultaneously and this lead to critical damage to Whitebeard.

Knowing that his life is going to end soon, Whitebeard announce the same thing that once was told by Gol D. Roger. “One Piece is out there…” shout Whitebeard as his final word. Although he just dead, Whitebeard still show his pride by not falling to the ground despite the number of injuries that he got.

Question:

  • Why Blackbeard Teach works so hard in being shichibukai just to get a few team members from Impel Down? Is there anything special about those pirates? Does Blackbeard want their power or Blackbeard actually intend to dig the past secret of the world government?
  • There is a flashback of Whitebeard (Edward Newgate) and Roger drinking together. I am wonder what kind of relation that they really had in the past? Since the beginning of One Piece, we are being told that those two is a big rival but somehow they look quite friendly in the flashback.

chapter 575: Wordless Rage

Posted by Admin in April 10th, 2010 ( 4,392 views )

one piece 575

Ace death seems to affect Luffy greatly. It looks like Luffy still can’t accept Ace death. I am really terrified seing Luffy eyes without eyeball. As Luffy seems to lost his way, Akainu tried to kill Luffy but he is being disturbed by Marco. As Ace already mentioned that Luffy is part of his life, Whitebeard crew are trying their best to protect Luffy. This chapter become more interesting as Whitebeard suddenly involved in the fight by punching Akainu. Akainu fight back by laying a magma punch to Whitebeard face.

whitebeard half face Oh, no! This is the worse scene I’ve ever seen in One Piece. A partition of Whitebeard face is damaged because of Akainu punch. Looks like Akainu’s magma is very powerful. Since Whitebeard is not a logia type devil fruit user, his face can’t regenerate. I am worried that One Piece will be turned to 18 SG (for heavy violence). As the result of the fight, the plaza is being cut by two due to the Whitebeard earth quake power. Thanks to the cut, the marines and pirates are now separated.

As the Whitebeard pirates are trying to escape from the plaza, the marines see someone hiding behind the HQ. Looks like Blackbeard crew finally arrived at war field. Blackbeard is the main reason Ace were caught. Because of Blackbeard, Ace finally died. I am not sure how Whitebeard and Luffy will face this.

If you are a big fan of One Piece, using their avatar in forum or commenting system are pretty cool. Below are some sites that offer One Piece avatar for free.

Most of the avatars are suck because they only use simple GIF animation that you can do it by yourself. If you are too lazy to do the dirty job, these avatars might satisfy you. Despite that, some of the avatars are pretty smart and cool.


Monkey D. Luffy

 luffy 2

Monkey D. Luffy is a boy from Windmill town. At the time, a group of pirates (Red Hair Pirates) that is lead by Red Hair Shanks were staying there for a while. Coincidentally, Luffy has eat a demon fruit that was brought by the pirates. The rumors that said who eat devil fruit would get unique ability but cannot swim is indeed true. Thanks to the Gomu Gomu devil fruit, Luffy got a rubber ability that enable him to stretch himself like rubber, but he cannot swim anymore. In One Piece, you would see Luffy creativity in using his rubber ability. Luffy fighting technique is something that I really look into.

Luffy decided to become a pirate because he once was saved from death by Shanks. As the result of saving Luffy, Shanks lose his left arm. That happens when Luffy is still small. So that Luffy didn’t forget his promise, Shanks lend his straw hat to Luffy and ask him to return it once Luffy has become a great pirate. Starting onwards, Shanks doesn’t wear any straw hat. And starting from that, Luffy keeps in mind that he wants to be a pirate king.

A few years after the incident, Luffy sail to the sea in order to become a real pirate and recruiting crew members. He then perform a crew members from people that he find through his journey. Most of them have their own reasoning in joining Straw Hat Pirates. With that Luffy has become the leader of Straw Hat Pirates.

Although Luffy is the captain, Luffy does not make most decision. Based on the manga that I read, it looks like most of the decisions is made by Nami. This cannot be helped since Luffy is someone who is not matured enough. He is a happy go lucky and simple minded person. However, there is also special case where you can see Luffy going berserk and can be depend on. Especially when his ‘nakama’ (friend) need help. For Luffy, his nakama is more important than his life. In One Piece you can how much Luffy struggled in order to save his nakama especially during Nami case at Arlong Park, and Robin issue with CP9 at Enies Lobby.


One Piece Cosplay

Posted by Admin in April 6th, 2010 ( 3,910 views )

Since the influence of One Piece has become so powerful, more people try to be a part of One Piece crew by doing cosplay. Even though they couldn’t be a part of Straw Hat Crew in real, at least they can be a part of Straw Hat in spirits. You guys are definitely awesome.

I really like the cosplayers in action below. Especially for Sanji. They really know how to show the true characteristics of Sanji and Zoro. So how does Zoro look in real live form? Do you like his green hair or do you think that it’s weird enough?one piece cosplay

Look. Although One Piece was born in Japan, it’s now become a phenomena in the entire world. The cosplay for Chopper in the picture below is quite funny. Perhaps this is another mysterious effect of eating ‘Rumble Ball’. About the others, I can tell that Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro look great.

One piece cosplay 2

Cosplay that is perform below is quite normal but somehow the picture below give me impression that it looks like Syrup Village. The village that Usopp comes from. Ho ho, they even practiced cosplay at neighborhood.
