| Also, is there some kind of timeline for this series? I have no idea how long it's supposed to have been since Luffy set out. Coby looked years older though. | |

| I assume they've been at sail for around a year or two by now.
FYI
Age characters are first introduced at.
Luffy = 17 Zoro = 19 (LOL WTF?) Nami = 18 Usopp = 17 Sanji = 19 Chopper = 15 (In human years) Robin = 28 Franky = 32? Brook = 80's
Honestly the only ones I don't remember are Franky and Brook's. | |

| I assumed Zoro and Sanji were older than that. Wasn't Luffy 16 when he set out? | |

| The story thus far (up to the current manga) has taken approximately three months. Calculations (and spoilers) are below. - Spoiler:
- Luffy's first few adventures in the East blue happened within a few weeks. The only time night was witnessed however were during the Captain Kuro story arc and at the end of the Arlong story arc. They therefore spent at least one day at Usopp's village. - Luffy worked for two days in Baratie before the arrival of Don Krieg's Pirate Armada. - They spent several days after Nami's village was freed from Arlong partying. - No night scenes were witnessed during Loguetown, it is presumed Loguetown was a quick stop for them due to the events with Smoker. - Whiskey Peak was at least one night, they were there less than a day. - They were at Little Garden for only a day (no night scenes were witnessed.) - From Little Garden to Drum Island it was less than 5 days (Nami would have died from her illness of Kestia if it had been any longer). - There was a night scene at Drum Island, but they were there no more than two or so days. - They met Ace within ten days of him visiting Drum Island because he had left Drum Island only a week before hand and he was still in Arabasta when they arrived. He was only going to wait ten days for Luffy. In all, they spent less than a week or so in Arabasta before moving on. - They were in Jaya less than four days, the time taken before their log pose would have adjusted, however they left close to its change. - A close examination of Skypiea will show that it lasted two days (Entering the white sea to the campfire in upper yard was one day, and then the survival game to waking up the next morning after the party was another). - No night scenes were seen in the Davy Fights, it is presumed the events took place in less than a day. - They stayed for 4 days in Long Ring Long Land after Aokiji's attack to let Luffy and Robin rest. - They traveled for another 3 days before coming across Yokozuna. - Including the events of Enies Lobby, the crew had stopped at Water 7 for a week. - Thriller Bark was less than a day. - There was a week between leaving Thriller Bark and arriving at the Red Line. - A full two days have passed visibly over the time Luffy is on his way to the Isle of Amazon Lily - Four days have passed during the journey from Amazon Lily to Impel Down via Marine ship.

I honestly thought they were both in their mids 20s. And according to Oda, Luffy was 17. | |

- An argument against the timespan is that Koby has aged greatly, however Oda answered this. According to Oda, Koby just went through a grow spurt and tightened his muscles with discipline (due to Garp's training).

| I understand the Garp's training, but a spontaneous growth spurt? Ahhhh, this is One Piece why am I surprised?! | |

| If you want to verify, it apparently comes from the following:
SBS Chapter 452 Question: By the way, how do you respond to the charges that the Oda Clinic performed a full plastic surgery on Koby?! | |

| It's Oda. He asks if Skeletons poop. The man is clearly either insane, or has the mind of a child.
And this is why I respect him so much. | |

| 3 months?! No way. That sounds too short.
Come to think of it, Roger's execution happened 20 years ago at the start, but I'm sure recently it changed to 22 years. | |

| 3 months sounds about right.
Also Franky is 34 and Brook is 84. | |

| Haven't read much at all for the last few days. Thriller Bark isn't really "must read" material, especially coming after Enies Lobby. Brook's introduction was great, but after that... not so much. Stopped just after that giant spider showed up. | |

| I also didn't really like the beginning of TB. It becomes good again when the battles start and it become great again when the battle against Odz starts. | |

| That's what I thought. It being only 3 months kind of lessens the story a little bit somehow. | |

| God damn it. Started reading again, but this "mugiwara no Luffy" crap is stupid. | |

| 95% of the OP fandom is made of raging weeaboos.
The anime is even worse. It made "nakama" a special word that people now believe is only used in OP (even though I heard it come out of Raditz' mouth at least thrice in DBK's last episode) and there's other stupid words that can easily be translated like "ossan", "yosh", "santoryuu" and aforementioned "mugiwara". Hell, in one episode I saw "Kuro-ishi no Sanji" being used (Black Leg Sanji). | |

| Another issue with OP is that our good ol' lovable characters' crew. Every single time they get a new member, that character is overrated as hell and treated as epic and godly, then they're just ignored later on when the next possible member comes. | |
