You just described stalling with the heavy dose of reaction shots we've been getting. Speed this shit up bro.
One Piece |OT 18| Luffy Al Gaib
- Thread starter Tace
- Start date
Nor will he. The man can't say which side is right and wrong, nor about 'that person'. He will do no such thing.
Dude is cooking like crazy, I can't imagine reading this chapter and this is your reaction to it.
The reaction shots have a huge amount of text going on while VP saying stuff in this chapter .
That shit much better that just dumping loads and loads of text on screen and just seeing VP face.
Most of the chapter is just VP saying info while we see it in differnt back grounds aside from stussy part.
That not stalling if you see Vivi and while seeing her have VP full screen with info .
It's been 2 chapters and this is biggest event in OP world history since the VC and biggest world lore drop in the series .
It's not been that long lol .
My reaction is my reaction. Oda will be fine. You can choose to ignore me
OP
OP
This chapter and its implications are making my head hurt. So we been in a Cold War of sorts this whole time, huh?
It's like this scene in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs:
It's been established for multiple chapters now that everyone in the world is listening/watching. And still this week, there are ~20 panels (I roughly counted) of cuts to random people around the world reacting to Vegapunk's message.
"Okay, well, just think about what you're saying and if they're alive, then yes they're listening" lol
I can understand Dougieflesh 's frustration. I feel it too.
But the multiple breaks can make it easy to forget that Vegapunk's message didn't really start until the middle of two chapters ago.
Can you imagine how different this would be if One Piece was monthly and we got 40 pages to read all at once?

I can understand the frustration with the pacing a little bit. With the break Oda had starting in March, and since his return having chapter, break, chapter, break, it can make everything seem so much slower. Thankfully, we at least have a chapter again next week, and hopefully the week after that.
Cutting to people don't matter when screen full of text of what VP saying .
We see Vivi the screen full of VP text , we see the elders the screen full of VP text , we other things screen full of VP text .
Like the stussy part of the chapter that not full of VP text aside from few panels .
I don't think being monthly would change much just read the last 2 chapters back to back .
This the biggest event in OP world since VC and Oda stressing on that while he full screen with text from VP and we see other people.
No one should every do it the HxH way even more so for event like this and what it mean to the story and world lol .

Either way, the World Government has been lying to the entire world and is the current form of the Alliance that defeated this advanced civilization.
People will revolt if they don't get the actual truth of what happened from the Government.
I don't think the pacing is too bad, it's a little long but it's the biggest reveal in their world they've ever experienced. I think emphasizing it is EVERYONE listening shows how big of a deal this is.
Yuuuuup and they are not shy about it either
That the use of the weapon which destroyed Lulusia results in a sea level rise just mystifies me. Like, how does that work? There's probably a simple explanation that defies conventional logic but which will make sense as a phenomenon in the One Piece world. I wanna knooooow
Like, is the weapon creating water? Is water a byproduct of the weapon's use? Is the water being released from somewhere?

I don't need half a chapter of random characters reacting to Vegapunk's message, just give me a textbox saying everyone's reacting to it and move it along. Just save that for the anime. With all the stalling before the message and now the message itself having these characters react to it, nah, I'm ready to move on.
Tbf, without the characters it would probably just be Vegapunk or a white background
They're doing more than Oda did, Toei is extremely weird for this
textbox is good way to kill any hype for the event.
When for the whole manga so far you have reactions to everything else but not biggest event since the VC would be crazy .
Also i don't see how we were getting stalling before the message.
I love seeing the elders showing off how strong they are after we see them for almost 2 decades.
That along with fact that we had so many people calling them weak or don't have coc or this and that.
If these the end game villains showing them off is fucking great .

If Oda didn't show a lot of reactions, people would just complain that we didn't see enough reactions to this world-shaking information.
I'm fine with it if it's Vegapunk speaking over the art, but you get pages/panels like pg 15 where it's all just random people going "wow 200m is crazy, no way"
It drags
Seeing the casts reaction is what the last few decades have been leading up to, the whole world is affected and Oda loves every single corner of the world. The inevitable Void century flashback will have every ancestor of every character showing up and people won't be able to avoid it.
I don't fuck with the sorry losers who are here for the "tuff" battles. If they got nothing interesting to talk about than screaming and shitting their pants than just call lore piece fans a slur and get it over with.
I tell you this now that is needed to stress how crazy 200 meters is not only for the OP world but for the readers.
Which why we get it compare to battle ships and a mountain to give it some more height and how massive it is .
I was seeing people online saying 200 meters not much or that don't seem like a big deal or it really should not effect much .
If the seas level raise 200 meters in our world 4 billion people would died and that just from seas rising and not the after effects .

Yamato on the cover story with the goofy smile gives off Luffy vibes. Also, don't have time to look at every single cover page, but that layout and vibe feels very familiar to me, like there was another cover page where you had something similar to it. Probably just imagining things.
Really hoping that before this message gets cut off that that we get the name of the ancient civilization. Would be a great way to bridge this arc and Robin's flashback where professor Clover was cut off before he could say the name. Feels like that would be the last big piece of information we would get from the message.

Any of the emperors' reactions will come last i'm sure, BB might change his plans again just to take advantage of the new chaos that will ensue, because whatever else Vegapunk got to say, a lot of folks won't be sitting around anymore. Maybe the Holy Knights will actually do something.
The most cracked thing Vegapunk can do is give the cipher for the Poneglyphs to everybody and it's a free for all for everyone to do with the information as they please.

Some will, and that's key with all these reaction shots we're getting. It drives home two crucial points:
1) This shit hits everything and everyone, everywhere. All the people we met, all the places we visited, all organizations that have been fleshed out over the years. It's not like a bounty upgrade or a shichibukai being defeated; everyone is 'targetted' by this news.
2) To show, well, their reactions. We have people believing Vegapunk, questioning Vegapunk, mocking Vegapunk but more crucially; we have that WITHIN the organizations. We have Celestial Dragons telling him to stfu, but then also that one shot of the lady CD shocked. We have Marines doubting, marines believing etc. etc. etc.
You simply cannot drive home the consequences of this news without showing this. People might not like it, it might feel a bit dragged (I certainly don't blame you if you feel that way), but it's such a needed sequence.
BB will 100% go for the AW now when get the info from caribou.
The info is saying get AW get control of the world.
The funniest thing people have been doing is power scale the three dots among the big players. We got Sabo, Dragon and Akainu doing that shit and the many other examples in the past. I still think Brook knows something he's still not talking about.
People not having fun with these reactions and call backs don't have anything interesting to talk about in totality.
Man, shut up. Yall get so weird when people have any criticism
Yeah my bad I only meant Stussy's outfit since she has pants and made her sideboob under clothes
I'll stop getting heated.
Mock town being shown twice is weird, maybe they'll get nuked or get swept in the waves next. If Imu and the Gorosei can get their hands on the motherflame for one more shot they'll use it on a big target i'd think. But they need more shots to drown everyone so i guess York will be around slaving away at the power plant once this is over.

The stalling goes even beyond reactions imo
''I can't make judgement of right or wrong since I'm not overly familiar with the matter but let me tell you something important about the blank period in history, this is known as the Void Century and it refers to a span of 100 years of lost history, during that centennial vacuum in our historical records two sides, which I won't confirm or deny who was right because I'm lacking familiarity with the matter...''
Still not as bad as the traditional Robin stall though since she will nonchalantly reveal she is up to date with all this stuff.

At end of the day along with reaction shots you got show people in world discussing the info .
Even if take up some panel time and make things longer .
You can't have world info that has been hidden for 800 years come out and don't show how it changing people mind set or them not discussing it .
There going to have fall out from this but from reaction we seeing i won't be surprise if most marines stay with WG for eg .
This is still well pace the message has been only 2 chapters.
The lead up to it has been 3 chapters which show off the elders .
Like there no way you can say that showing 4 characters off that we seen for decades 3 chapters and biggest lore drop in series last 2 chapters slow pacing .
There been slower pacing parts in this arc like when we trying to find out who traitor was or kuma getting there .

That is a good point/I wonder if Oda will show off more of Blackbeard's true strength as we get closer to the finale.
