Yeah, I love the way Oda lays little hints about future plot developments in the most unlikely ways. My favorites are the ones in the title page short stories. I’ve read most of the series through before (I skipped Water 7 and Enies Lobby after Usopp quit, I was too shook up after that), but reading it through in English, I was boggling at stuff like Garp appearing in that Coby and Helmeppo story, or when Camie showed up in the octopus story 20 volumes or so before she shows up in the real story. I never put much thought into them, but they are still part of the story. I think this didn’t really hit home for me until I saw Fullbody and Django together as Marines in… Alabasta (?), but I still tend to forget it.

All your questions will be answered in next couple of issue, in fact, most of them should be answered in Vol. 38.

That’s one thing I always loved about OP, (being reading it since 1999 after a few online friends suggest the series for me when I went back to Asia), everything falls into place sooner or later. Even if it was something small to begins with, more often than not it has HUGE impact in future storyline.

For example, not many people remembers that BlackBeard was first mentioned in Drum Kingdom and was responsible for the fall of Wapol. Or that Dragon, the man who saved Luffy back in Rouge Town was mentioned in flashback of the WG meeting Vivi attended back when she was small. It these little infos that Oda strategically places in and his imagination that makes the series burst of life.

Haha, thanks guys. Your comments cleared that up a little for me. And… yes, let me go back and read those volume of Alabasta and Skypiea again, just to check and make sure I’m clear on what’s going on with her side at this point.

And thanks for that extra bit of info on Franky. I do love him a little more for that alone.

March volumes on review? I’m jealous already.

Yes, the story revolves around Robin, so you’ll be able to see where her allegiance lies as well as why she is looking for something…(quick, check the Skypiea volume where she makes a comment about the weapons!)

- I know we weren’t supposed to forget that she had seen the plans for these weapons, because she states it pretty plainly when she finds the glyphs-

She’s seen them, but it’s not like she has the glyphs with her to just hand over, Water 7′s far from Alabaster and those ones were buried on top of it.

Iirc, the glyphs just had the locations of the original’s hidden locations written down, while this is plans to make a new one.

The name of the weapon from Alabasta is supposed to be Poseidon I believe. Also Oda posted a list of what the characters nationalities would be in the real world and Franky is indeed supposed to be American.
