Lets start listing pre timeskip main villains that have already returned

• Alvida (in cross guild)
• Buggy (cross guild)
• ((Arlong)) through flashback only on fishmen island
• Smoker (Punk Hazard)
• Wapol (Reverie, as king of evil drum kingdom)
• Crocodile ( cross guild)
• Bellamy
• Blackbeard
• Moria (on Fullalead island Perona tries to save him)
• Boa
• the Admirals

In sum 11 main villains returned

Villains that did not return:

• Axe Hand Morgans (his son is still at Kobys side tho)
• Kuro (but his right hand man still was present, while Garp talks about Rocks)
• Don Krieg
• Arlong
• Enel (even-tho he got his crazy moon cover story)

In sum 5 villains did not return ... Did I loose some main villains (I do not count Doflamingo, since he was only a post ts main villain) This means 11/17 = 65% of old characters did return after the timeskip to the story again, which is an ecxeptional result for a long running series imo ....

What are your general thoughts on villains returning into the story after they have been defeated. In my opinion that can get boring, if the character is not seen in a new position / context. So Crocodiles return is more boring compared to Buggys return, since Crocodile is not currently challenged and did not change his personality.

I hope some of the lesser popular characters get their chance to shine at the end, adding "depth" to seemingly unimportant characters.

For example Axe Hand Morgans still does not know he was hypnotized into believing he captured captain Kuro. Because of that hypnosis he became an arrogant high ranking officer. Bringing Axe Hand Morgans and Kuro together could lead to the revelation that his live was built on a lie. And then he could accept his son Helmeppo again, as Helmeppo reaches the same rank as his father through merit. (Currently Helmeppo has the rank below his fathers captain rank)

nami looking like a porn parody crack addict what is this monstrosity

Anyone here? I can't see any posts. Feels like I'm calling in the dark, and that's kinda cool ngl. 🙃

Guys, I actually got the feels from this trailer. I know we are all skeptical cause we love the series so much, but I'm here for it.

I don't even want to imagine the English versions of Gomu Gomu no attacks and similar. I've never heard One Piece in other languages other than Japanese and I'm scared to look it up.

The alternative would be that the characters won't shout out their attacks, which makes more sense for a live action adaptation but at the same time, I would kinda miss it.

"Usopp Rubber Band of Doom" combo in Arlong Park was made for the big screen, so I sure as hell want to see and hear it.

As the title says. I have stopped reading manga after wano because I didn't want to wait an entire week for cliffhangers to continue. Now I wanted to ask if bnow is a good time with kind of a clean break to catch up.

What do we think of the Uta/Shanks connection to St. Figarland?

Is the secret weapon really a vegapunk creation or an ancient weapon? Could it be vegapunk adding to an ancient weapon?

What does Imu want with Vivi?

Crazy chapter! Can't wait for the break to be over.

I was wondering since about Marineford... what will actually happen once Luffy meets Shanks, has to give him the hat back. Will he just continue to call his crew the strawhat pirates? That would not make any sense then.... What do you think he would call the crew?

Couldn't find any community so I thought I'd create one right away. On Reddit there was someone who posted artwork regularly, I hope he/she will join here, too! This might be a community that takes off quite fast considering the current events!
