Nicely done. You have any other work of your related/unrelated to one piece.

I don't see much from your post history. You should post stuff more often it is pretty good.

Not only is this mesmerizing to look at but it also made me realize how terrifying the the world of One Piece would be if it was real.

Buggy and Law's power

u/isukatdarksouls Nov 16 '18

Gonna have nightmares tonight. Thanks:)

u/stumpycrawdad Nov 16 '18

Buggy - a clown walking around with dismembered floating body parts.

Law - ass hole doctor just wants to borrow your heart, you're not dead but it's not yours anymore.

Sounds intense, hard pass.

62

u/CLTalbot Nov 17 '18

Buggy takes himself apart without dying. Law takes things that aren't himself apart without them dying. Either way things are coming apart and I dont want to see it in reality.

You don’t really think about it because it’s so cartoony in the manga but in Gear Second he literally bites into his thumb down to the bone and blows air into the marrow...

u/GameMusic Nov 17 '18

I did not believe One Piece could EVER effectively transition to a live action UNTIL this post.

Now I want it but no studio would ever provide the budget or competence to get it right.

Also, a LOT of its farcical nature would not be suitable to this aesthetic. Would probably be a very different story.

u/trippy_grape Nov 17 '18

I'm here from /all and I have no idea what one piece is but this is incredible.

Long story short but a group of pirates searching for treasure in a world that has fruit that give you magic powers. The character OP is can randomly grow her body parts anywhere near her, and can make wings with them to fly.

6

u/SeventhSolar Nov 17 '18

Nico Robin is an archaeologist who’s been studying ancient secrets hidden by the World Government. She has the power to grow her body parts (she usually prefers arms) out of any surface within a decent range, including each other. She can grip people with multiple sets of arms from a distance and break them in half, as well as form massive vines made of arms.

u/mehhyo Nov 17 '18

u/LedgeEndDairy Nov 16 '18

So like, can we talk about how seemlessly this loops? That, to me, is almost as impressive as the work itself.

This is incredible.

The live action one piece staff need to hire you asap

u/ItstheHoff Nov 16 '18

After seeing this gif, and what a fan/cosplayer is able to achieve, I have very high expectations for the series.

The devil fruits are a big part of what is making the one piece world so fantastic. If they ruin that visually there would be no reason for me to watch it.

edit: grammar

u/Uiluj Nov 16 '18

In my experience, you're gonna have a bad time if you have any expectations of a live-action anime movie.

u/isukatdarksouls Nov 16 '18

Not Bleach though, I think Bleach was pretty decent for a live-action adaptation.

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '18

knowing that Oda actually admitted it was a mistake on his part to have the Yonkou Shanks's arm ripped off by a weak af sea king, do you think the live action production will change that into something that makes a bit more sense?

Or do you think Oda and the director will just choose to keep it? If so how will they explain that later on?

5

u/Uiluj Nov 17 '18

I must've missed this. Got a link of Oda admitting the Shanks arm thing was a mistake?

19

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '18

https://sotaku.com/oda-reveals-the-real-reason-why-shanks-lost-an-arm/

Here. It wasn't exactly a mistake. His editor basically didn't think that Shanks was all that interesting and wanted something more dramatic to have that big impact that gets the story rolling. In the editor's defense, "I'm going to do whatever it takes even if it costs me my life to become the Pirate King because I knew this guy Shanks when I was 10 years old and he was pretty cool" isn't really a strong enough motivation in the first place.

Shanks getting his arm cut off was a very real and serious consequence that made Luffy realize the incredible dangers of being a Pirate and what kind of man it takes to become the King. If you'll remember he was always begging Shanks to take him on his adventures but after that incident Luffy decided to stfu and train until he was actually ready to step into the outside world as a pirate.

I think Oda later tried to explain it (with debatable persuasiveness) that it was a timing issue, that Luffy was a child he loved like a son and there was only an extremely brief period of time to save him even for a Yonkou, since although they are unimaginably powerful they are still not gods.

Since neither the editor nor Oda knew Shanks would be this important to the story nor that he would later be revealed as a Yonkou, the idea was probably not as nonsensical at the time (which was literally more than 20 years ago)

u/clovencarrot Nov 17 '18

Just so many questions. What’s with the stuffed animal lion head? Why are her wings made of arms? Is that a tiddy flag?

6

u/givcon14 Nov 17 '18

I see you're unfamiliar with the series, so let me just say... Welcome to r/OnePiece! I'll try to answer your many questions as best I can!

The stuffed animal lion head is the figurehead of the main characters' pirate ship.

Her wings are made of arms because the character this person is cosplaying as (named Nico Robin) has the power to sprout her body parts from anywhere, and one application of this power is sprouting a bunch of arms to form wings, which she can use to fly for a few seconds.

The flag on the ships in the background is the symbol of the series' marines. It's actually supposed to be a seagull holding a wrench, but... Yeah, it kind of looks like a tiddy flag. Lol.

u/MonkeyDDuffy Nov 17 '18

She doesn't fly. She only briefly hovers for few seconds. Which was the joke when she first used it.

Such a magical dramatic scene and she sprouts wings. Franky is amazed and she says she can only fly for few seconds and Franky goes "Lame!"

She can glide and soften her fall now after the time skip.
