You really know how to foreshadow characters that, at this rate, won't show up until we're old and grey.

Be fair, Oda did that first.

That being said at the rate One Piece is going, we are all going to be old and wrinkly when it ends. I wonder if it took this long to write the Iliad and Odyssey...

Yeah, Luffy said that they needed a musician long before they realized they needed a medic. Which will be very soon.

"Why a musician?"
"Well, pirates sing, right?"

Since the first time he was shouting he was going to be the "King of Pirates" if that is not foreshadowing...

Speaking of ridiculous foreshadowing, here's a fun fact: Did you know that Oda drew Sabo into the manga in two panels during the Loguetown arc?

For reference, that's almost eleven years before his "first" appearance in the manga after the Marineford arc.

Earlier than that? Shanks scares off the Sea King using Haki. In Chapter 1.

He drew Rayleigh way back in the Orange Town/Buggy arc too.

When the anime was being made, Oda made sure that at no point did Shanks and Buggy refer to Rayleigh as 'Captain'. So yeah, Rayleigh's role was defined even way back then.

NEW MAP!

Two questions.

1: Did you get my PM?

2: Are you planning on doing the Coby miniarc?

i think he'll don't, then when Coby show up in water seven and have become a resonably good character, Cory realise he had some potential and could have been well minmaxed. (since GM told him something like "don't come regret it after" when he ditched coby).
of course by this point, Cory would have made Zoro way OP.

Seriously? How many pages DT? How many pages until we get catharsis?

Hi, random anonomous commenter who found this comic here by way of Friendship is Dragons a few weeks ago. I was mostly curious about finding more about the guys so I could understand the Mafia storyline more. And well...

I don't think I can exactly describe how much enjoyment I've gotten over from here over that last few weeks, when I read through the comic twice. How it's made me laugh out loud, feel for our heroes, and seriously consider watching One Piece because how awesome you make it look. So I guess in the end, I just want to say thank you.

Also, wait for it...

Quick! Edit the picture to enter this pun!

"I have this idea for an undead violinist. Not sure how to flesh it out, though." !!!

oof, A+ pun. Also, dang, I recognize your name from the Erfworld forums. It's super weird recognizing a name on the internet from somewhere completely different, not to mentioned several years ago, but yours is so unique I guess it makes sense.

oh don't worry about it, you'll find a way.

And this bring the conclusion to a arc already great in the manga, but great in this webcomic as well ! good to see Nat finding her place in the group.
excellent work, DT.
Looking forward to the followings arcs.
Might need to find a way to shorten things out, though, or you'll end up doing it longer than Oda himself.

i'd say he shorten some of the flashback. thoses that can not really be roleplayed.

Now skipping the filler might help, too. i supose it depend on how much the filler fit with the rest.

You know what would be great? if he wasn't going for a skeleton. just a zombie or vampire or something, but he just kept missing the spot and navigational rolls.
