T_S, may i suggest to you
This? its where i read my One Piece Manga volumes. so far, Luffy and Crew have killed yet another Shichibukai named Gekko Moria. and just fought of Bartholomew Kuma. another Shichibukai. but he is just like Franky. he Is a Cyborg. but one that is far superior to Franky's type. Kuma is a Cyborg who has the Devil Fruit Powers.
If i may, i'll do a basis on what all is in One Piece
Purpose of One Piece:
One Piece is a anime show about a boy who grows up and becomes a pirate because he want to find "One Piece" One Piece is Gol D. Rogers Treasure (He hid in it in the Grand Line Before he was prosecuted) So luffy gathers a crew of pirates along the way he find One Piece.
Devil Fruit Users, or the Fruit of the Devil is basically a special fruit that gives you Incredible Powers. Luffy ate the Gum Gum Fruit as a Child, only by sheer idiocity though. and now has Rubber Powers. right now, He is one of the Most Powerful Fighters alive.
Now, for my Detailed explanation on the Crew of One Piece, and a few other important people:
Monkey D. Luffy: Luffy is the Captain of the Strawhat Pirates. Currently he has a known Bounty of 300,000,000 Berri. He is Brainless, Does not plan on anything and just does what he likes. And when he challenges an Opponent to a fight, he generally wins. As of right now, he has only Lost once. That was to a Marine Admiral. I'll go more into that when i need to. But Luffy's Dream is to be King of the Pirates. which he may just become.
Roranora Zoro: Zoro (Or American Version calls him Zolo) is Co-Captain of the Strawhat Pirates. he is also their Swordsman of the ship. he unlike luffy has a Hot Headed temper which is easily provoked. He is also Skilled enough in the Art of Sword Fighting to be able to Cut Steel. His Goal is to become the Worlds Best Swordsman. and all that stands in his way is Hawkeyes Mihawk. Once he is strong enough to beat him, then he will Claim Worlds Strongest/Best Swordsman. But Zoro is also someone Loyal and Dedicated to his Nakama (Family) His Bounty last saw was 120,000,000 Berri
Nami: Nami is the Ship Navigator, and First Lady of the crew. she is not very strong, (Although stronger then ussop) but she has Gotten herself a Bounty of 16,000,000 Berri. She is trying to Map the World's Seas. that is her Dream. she may be all hot-headed like Zoro, but shes also Easily Scared by small things. She is also Pretty. so Pretty Sanji is very much in Love with her and Robin. Nami also has, before Ussop was in the crew for a while, been an Undercover agent for Arlong Park. Leader known as Arlong, the Merman. he kept her as a Slave until she paid him 100,000,000 Berri. problem was, Luffy Killed Him. so that never went through.
Ussop: Ussop is the weakest of the Crew, but also Tactical and Sharpshooter. he is not really worth much. i'll look in on that. but he also Makes weapons and items, but is also one of the Jokes of the Crowd. nothing much else is important though.
.::Update::. Ussop is worth 30,000,000 Berri. just as much when Luffy was headed to Arlong.
Sanji: Sanji is the Chef of the Ship. his meals are just extraordinary and Wonderful, yet he is Very Strong compaired to the last two mentioned. he also can hold his own against Zoro, but Sanji doesnt have a High High Bounty. but its Higher then Nami's 16,000,000 Berri Bounty. Just dont Insult Nami or Robin infront of Sanji, and your Safe. Sanji's Dream is to find the sea All Blue. once he does that, his life goal is complete.
.::Update::. Sanji is Worth 77,000,000 Berris. Tony Tony Chopper: Chopper is a Unique Reindeer. he has the power to Transform into 3 different shapes because of his Devil Fruit ability. but with his Rumble Ball, it makes it into 7 Different forms. he is also Ships Doctor and friendly little Animal to Human Member. he has a Bounty of 50 Berri. how sad. Yes i said 50 Berri, not 50,000,000 Berri. just 50. Oh well.
Nico Robin: Robin is the Second Female member of the Strawhat crew. her power, unlike Nami or Ussop, is unique. her Bounty last known was 80,000,000 Berri. she is a Dangerous Woman and has, since Alabasta, changed her way and befriended the Strawhat crew and joined up with them. he Goal is unknown though. because none know much about her. but all is well, she has found her Nakama that she has searched for all her life since she was a little Girl.
Franky: Franky was just recently picked up from Oceans 7. he is a Cyborg, and is a powerful one at that. his Bounty is also unavailable at this time. but for him, his Dream was to Build his Dream Ship, and Sail on it. When Franky Joined Strawhat Pirates was when Luffy's Bounty rose from 100,000,000 Berri to 300,000,000 Berri for Killing CP9 Leader Rob Lucci. Franky was not strong enough to fight against Rob Lucci, but Luffy managed to Kill off him, and Destroy the World Government and Save Robin from their form of Hell. Franky is the Shipwright and also Item Constructor. his design of the Ship, Thousand Sunny, was immensely large in Proportion and weight. but nevertheless, the ship has an Air Powered Launch system that makes them Simulate Flying.
Trace Heatfist: Trace is Luffy's Older brother. his Devil Fruit power gives his power to Fire. he is also Second Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Rumored Strongest Pirate Fleet on the Planet. His Goal is unknown. His Bounty is Unknown. and where he is now is also Unknown after the Battle with Marshall D. Teech or Blackbeard.
Marshall D. Teech "Blackbeard" :Blackberd is the user of a Devbil Fruit that uses Shadows and Darkness. his is supposedly the Ultimate Devil fruit. he used to work for Whitebeard's crew, until he killed and abandoned them. his Power is also able to increase the Normal Durability of Pain on the Human Body. what is known else about him is a mystery to this day.
Gol D. Roger "Gold Roger" : Gol D. Roger or Gold Roger is the Worlds Most Famous Pirate. he had Power, Fame, and Wealth. but one day, Luffy's Grandfather somehow Captured him and got him under arrest. On his Day of Execution, he said he left all he had in one piece. to the one who seeks it and finds it, shall be known as the Pirate King. When he was Executed, his Bounty was 1,000,000,000 Berri. he was a Great inspiration to Pirates everywhere.
Monkey D. Dragon: Dragon is a Very Very Powerful Person in the show. we have not seen him in action yet, nor do we know his Bounty, but all we know is Monkey D. Dragon is Father to Monkey D. Luffy. I Personally believe Dragon to be one of the Four Emperors of the Grand Line. but this information is unknown.
These are the People i decided to list. i know it looks like alot, but it really isnt. For those who want to start watching/reading One Piece, i suggest you go to One Manga to start from the Beginning of the Series and read from there. it will be More Clear to understand, or just ask here.
yes, i have no life. ;P But you think this basically Covers the entire Series up to date? excluding where they have been. i'll post that, but i don't really Feel like it. xD
