One Piece follows the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew of Straw hat pirates as they go on their quest to conquer the grand line. The first few arcs focus on obtaining a solid crew, and from there they progress directly to the Grand Line. But on their way, they frequently must stop to resupply, and fight new foes. While Berries play a huge role throughout their adventures, it’s tough to gauge just how much the currency is worth....
As the Wano Country arc went on, Kaido started to firmly position himself among the very best antagonists of One Piece, and by the end of his fight against Luffy, he was already a fan favorite. For some, Kaido was easily the best antagonist that the story had delivered to this point already, however, for others, Kaido needed a bit more to make himself rank among the very best. Many fans expected Kaido’s flashback to come up at some point as this would give them an insight into his way of life and his thinking as a pirate....
RELATED: One Piece: Is Kaido Getting Back Up To Fight Luffy? Throughout the arc, Oda set the precedent for the generation of the old and brittle to crumble to the new and rising powers. Immediately after, fans saw Law and Kid team up against Big Mom and take her down. This was soon followed by Luffy awakening his Devil Fruit and taking Kaido down as well. While the fall of both Yonko felt inevitable towards the end, Oda could have gone as far as killing the two off, which is incredibly shocking, given that most villains haven’t died in the story....
Luffy’s notoriety and infamy only continues to grow with time. In the Grand Line, he immediately took down one of the Shichibukai in Crocodile and earned a 100 million berry bounty. Shortly afterwards, he invaded Enies Lobby and defeated the CP9, earning himself a 300 million berry bounty and after One Piece’s Paramount War, this award was increased to 400 million. Shortly after the two-year time skip, Luffy defeated another Shichibukai in Donquixote Doflamingo and earned a 500 million berry bounty....
A One Piece chapter 1047 scene of particular note that provides a new context for a character is a Momonosuke flashback to the day his father died. It seems he and his mother and Kin’emon and the other Scabbards discussed their subsequent movies, emphasizing where the self-doubt he’s shown thus far and continues to show stems from. One Piece Chapter 1047 signals nearing the end of the Onigashima Raid Momonosuke’s Memories One Piece chapter 1047 opens with Yamato telling Momonosuke that he must make flame clouds to save the Flower Capital and Onigashima....
Stuart has finally found his forever home after spending 14 years in an Illinois animal shelter. Now, Stuart spends his days sleeping at home surrounded by a family and lots of love. The family has vowed to love Stuart for as long as he will have them, promising him a life free from “concrete kennels or loud noise.” Natalie Snyder rescued Stuart from a shelter at the start of September after seeing a TikTok video posted of him by an employee....
Old science fiction looks drastically different from the genre’s current iteration. There are a lot of time-honored tropes that give the genre its distinct flavor. The modern iteration is dominated by a few big names with far more interesting developments in the independent space. Perhaps the past holds a few interesting notes to introduce to the genre.

“I hope that people hear what is happening to our community,” Munn said during an MSNBC interview on Saturday. “I hope that they understand that. Right now there is an astronomical rise in hate crimes against the Asian community and that we need help to feel safe in our country we need help to be safe in our country and we need people to to amplify, what’s happening to us....
Hundreds were bussed in to the Eppley Airfield site, leaving their cars in parking lots, but were left wandering up to four miles in the cold after coaches failed to pick them up. “President Trump took off in Air Force One 1 hr 20 minutes ago, but thousands of his supporters remain stranded on a dark road outside the rally,” CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny tweeted at 10:21 p.m. CDT....
Igor Stimac’s first competitive match started brightly as India led 1-0 at half time against Oman through a Sunil Chhetri goal. But, Al Mandhar Al Alawi scored a brace late into the match winning the three points for the visitors on the night. It was followed by a brave 0-0 draw against Qatar that earned huge praises for the Indian team. When everything was looking bright, the Indian team drew two consecutive matches against lowly ranked sides like Bangladesh and Afghanistan....
United enjoyed utter domination in the opening 20 minutes with 82% possession, taking eight shots on goal and completing 220 passes in comparison to Omonia’s 51. Yet for all their pressure in and around Omonia’s box they couldn’t find the back of the net with Ronaldo and Antony both coming the closest to scoring in the opening 45, only for goalkeeper Fabinho to deny them with impressive saves. Tyrell Malacia was taken off at half-time in the 6-3 defeat to Manchester City at the weekend and suffered the same fate tonight after he lost the ball in Omonia’s half that led to a brilliant counter-attacking goal from the home side....
Most baseball people will tell you that it’s best not to bank on results you see during the seemingly endless six-week slag in Florida and Arizona. No matter how good a player looks, he’s probably not that good. No matter how bad a player looks, he’s probably not that bad. Hence the old baseball adage: Never trust what you see in March or September. MORE: Opening Day schedule for all 30 teams...
For Westerners, this was long terra incognita, hidden behind the Iron Curtain. When the borders opened in 1989, visitors largely stayed away. Hotels were lousy, roads poor and the food largely inedible. Restitution wrangles and other post-communist legal hassles all but paralyzed the housing market. But over the past decade, all that’s changed–most visibly along the newly discovered Baltic coast. On the German islands of Rügen and Usedom, immaculately restored 19th-century villas line the beaches like pearls on a string....
On the whole, it still beat the heck out of being on the midterm campaign trail. Like many of his predecessors, Clinton found in even the most arduous foreign travel a welcome respite from the assaults and indignities of domestic politics. He basked in the glow of peace as Israel and Jordan signed a treaty ending a 46-year state of war. In time for the morning news shows on American television, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin thanked Clinton for his “tremendous support,” while Jordan’s King Hussein called the president “our partner and our friend....
So why are Hong Kong’s bureaucrats so unhappy these days? In recent months several high-ranking civil servants have quietly jumped into the private sector–a move that government workers rarely entertained in the past–and executive recruiters say many others would be happy to join them. According to the Hong Kong Transition Project, an ongoing research effort, civil-service morale has reached a historical low. At a time when Hong Kong is facing a gloomy economic future and a crisis of identity, one of its fundamental pillars may be cracking....
There are three aspects to One D&D. The first is a slew of rule changes and expansions that will kick off with updated versions of the Monster Manual, Dungeon Master’s Guide, and Player’s Handbook in 2024. The second is an overhaul of the D&D Beyond website, giving players new tools and features to support their D&D experience. The final aspect is the D&D Digital Play Experience, an official virtual tabletop that will allow players to play online with 3D maps and characters powered by Unreal Engine 5....
@Cxeolinascherry thinks the number of artists who revealed new albums and music industry events on Friday must know there’s new One Direction music on the horizon, and don’t want to have to compete for the number one spot on the charts. Hum. Okay then. One Direction’s 10th anniversary came and went on Thursday, July 23 with little fanfare. Four of the members (ie, not Zayn Malik) emotionally remembered their time as a band on social media....
Despite the predictable levels of excitement regarding these events for Overwatch 2, there is an aspect of them that is not sitting well with fans. It appears that each of these three upcoming events will only possess one freely obtainable skin, some of which are pre-existing ones. When compared to the level of skin accessibility that players have enjoyed historically in the franchise, it is clear why many think one unlockable skin per season is simply not enough....
