It's surprising.....I never expected luffy to go to that mirror world all by himself....it's just not....well....I am not so sure how to put it. But it's unexpected nonetheless.  
I never expected those idiots to use coup de burst either :/
 
Just in case so I won't spoil anything, what happened with Katakuri, Perospero and Pedro? Just want to know where in the story we are =)

Yep, Pedro is dead, Peros had that devil fruit armor so he's still alive, and Luffy dragged Katakuri into the mirror world.
 
are you fuking kidding me? he made a good escape route for the pirates to escape and he even laid his[quote="Sindar" pid='104903' dateline='1535546406']

Would be kinda weird is a yonko commander would die from a simple bomb explosion  :what1:

own life for the dawn of the true pirates. what the fuk are you even watching while not even understanding it?
it isn't a simple explosion but i agree with you
 


Well... I'm kinda not looking forward to it, given the history of the anime when it comes to action scenes(even from before the time-skip, wasn't a fan of even Luffy vs Lucci to some extent. I'm not expecting any Dragon Ball Super treatment here.

I also didn't feel Pedro was close enough to them to sacrifice his life. He was maybe, an acquaintance, at best. It'd have made sense for, say Jimbei to give up his life, given their long, long history.
But the anime pulled off his death quite well. It came out of left field, to some extent(I mean yes his reduced life was always talked about but still, One Piece doesn't have a lot of deaths), his last words were cool, and then the One Piece theme started playing, and it was a bit emotional.

It is ironic I know, and One Piece is the only anime that make me feel dreadful when a major fight is about to come. It's a shame. I do like how fight scenes are done in anime(the good ones obviously).
So did you actually end up liking it? And is it a "who punches stronger" fight or does it have something clever?

Yes. His death in a weird way reminded me of a character's death in the movie Suicide Squad(basically a member of the squad sacrifices his life for his "family"(ala the squad) even though he's known them for only like a few hours). Though that movie is a convoluted and editorial mess.

I do have a question for you though: was it easy to interpret fight scenes in manga? It did take some time for me to get used to in Naruto, and half the time I just gave up because I thought I'll just watch it in the anime. And even now in Tokyo Ghoul and TG: re, I'm finding it difficult to interpret a few panels here and there, though Ishida sometimes doesn't draw them properly, in my opinion.

Pedro's story? : D Could be, dunno. 
That is very true.  Even Big Mom, that power-hungry heartless killing machine, got a sad back story, that was kinda ridiculous : D I guess it is just hard to write a back story that isn't a sad one. Like, how do you make a good flashback for Big Mom without making her a victim?.. unless you do something very clever it would end up being way too linear and simple.
Take Doflamingo's story. It is pretty great, but it only works because he had suffered enough to justify his attachment to his crew and his hate for the rest of the world. Also, I've been reading the initial volumes of One Piece, and my favorite character backstories are Usopp's and Nami's. It is easy with Nami, her story being so tragic and reflecting in her personality in all sorts of ways, it is a generally well done sad story. But with Usopp, there is nothing tragic about it, it is just a nice story. I really liked it though. I am talking about him being the village's liar, and him trying to entertain that sick girl with his lies.

I know what you mean =) Though there is like 99% chance we will get to see more of Zoro's past. Right now it is weird and incomplete, especially the story with Kuina.

That is not a big deal really. The results of any fight are clean to see, so at worst you'll miss the exact sequence of actions that lead to it, and even that would be a rarity.
Reverie is so tiny, it wouldn't make any difference. But it is also an infodump, so beware : D I am sure it wouldn't be a problem for you either way, pick whichever arc you want to start with. For me the real fun comes when you read the current chapter and can see how the community reacts ^^ And OP is much more suited for weekly readings then for marathons, Oda writes it that way.

I'd also argue that Oda put all that effort only to give more weight to the McGuffin, Mother Caramel. It really makes no difference to the plot other than us knowing how she got her devil fruit power in the first place. She's still a gluttonous cranky grandma.
Nami's was simple and to the point, and Brooke's back-story was kinda nice as well, especially since he is introduced before the Thriller Bark arc. Though yes it is kinda funny that every single Straw Hat member except Zoro and Usopp has had something extremely terrible happen in their childhood.

It feels incomplete but to be honest it's still at that point where we can connect the dots. He trains, becomes strong, becomes a pirate hunter to make a living and joins Luffy. And even his aim to become the strongest swordsman is included in that back-story. Maybe there can be some exploration as to why he became a pirate hunter but it's still reaching.

Then I guess I'll start with the Reverie. I don't want 15 seconds of character staring at each other in a round-table every 2 minutes.
I don't binge-read anyway, at best I read 5 chapters at once so it'll take 3 or 4 months for me to catch up.
