Haha… my friend loves Ace, and I leaped at the opportunity to draw a 1 coin word.

thedreamvirus:

So I had this epiphany when I decided to rewatch the Marineford Arc.

LOLLLLL ODA, you sneaky bastard!
If you didn’t already know, Moria has scouted out powerful vessels for his stolen shadows such as Oars(Oz), Captain John, and even Ryuma. Perhaps maybe… It’s not unlikely, considering he still has to get his revenge against Luffy… what better way than to toy with his brother’s corpse?

We’ll just have to wait and see how much Moria has developed as a villain in the New World.

thedreamvirus:

I REALLLLYYY have an unhealthy obsession with the Blackbeard Pirates :P!
Someone stop me…

thedreamvirus:

Plain Shanks.
I’m getting so boring and rusty…
OH GOD! 

Here’s more bullshittery proving Fairy Tail steals from One Piece.
This doesn’t need to be argued or debated.
There’s too much evidence, even beyond this.

Just for the record, Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tail) was inspired and influenced by Eiichiro Oda(One Piece)’s works. 

Unfortunately… I can never read or watch Fairy Tail without thinking, “HEY! I’ve seen that from One Piece.” 

But out of all the ideas, designs, and concepts he’s “sampled,” I think he down right plagiarized Shanks. A super strong epic mentor figure with a missing arm(metal/prosthetic…whatever, it’s still a handicap), and the resemblance? They practically have the same face.

Fairy Tail is still a fun read and all… but almost all his characters seem so… “manufactured” and “BLAND.” These characters are introduced all together in one page, only to be defeated so quickly with only a light struggle.
It’s like, lowkey merchandising for more video game characters or toys, the way Tite Kubo does with Bleach and his 13 court guard squads Captains, 13 Vice Captains, 10 Espada, numerous Arrancar, and 10 Stern Ritter, all just mindlessly fighting each other for some terribly written reason.

Read One Piece… If you thought Fairy Tail was so great (which… I suppose IS, in it’s own magical way), then you’ve should read what inspired Mashima to write and illustrate many aspects of Fairy Tail. 

When I first heard of Fairy Tail, I thought the style was vaguely reminiscent but I chocked it up to using the coattails of OP’s popularity

BUT THEN THIS TRAVESTY

I’m calling foul, Hiro Mashima.

Yeah…. I think I’m done reading Fairy Tail now. It’s just desperate overkill on fan service. It’s nothing but a hollowed out COOL shonen manga with no real substance in it.

Yup.

Wow, Oda, you freakin… ermagherd.
You foreshadowed Ace’s death in a color spread. How could anyone have missed this?!
