[wesleysniperking]

It just irks me when in the OP fandom people start speculating who’s going to be the new Strawhat, when there’s still so much focus needed on the other ones. Like, we don’t have time for a new member when the other ones (other than the monster trio) aren’t given enough time and focus.

This wouldn’t be such a big problem if there wasn’t the big debate on who is more “useless” pre time-skip or post time-skip. Or “the Strawhats are a yonko crew, and they should all have haki by now.”

Adding on to that, the recency bias doesn’t help the whole matter either. The same ones who push for a new Strawhat member also criticize the Strawhats as a whole because of the non-monster trio members having not unlocked any haki, or because some can’t 1v1 an adversary. Usopp has haki but those naysayers say it “doesn’t count”.

It’s all nonsense, of course, but admittedly it gets to me.

So, why do we need one more Strawhat?

[inksrepublic]

Ahoy to all One piece lovers comrades, I'm looking for beta readers/writing partners/collaborators for a story inspired by One piece but especially with an ultra pirate setting, which I'm working on

Hello everyone, I'm also trying to write here in the hope of having better luck and finding someone who wants to get into this project.

Mainly I'm looking for someone to do some healthy world-building with, who can sit down with me and brainstorm intensively and discuss character arcs, plot points and so on. I'm also looking for someone who is good at building and narrating fighting scenes, as there will be quite a few in this story.

In addition, I'm looking for artists/illustrators who are interested in collaborating and making designs of characters, places and whatnot.

Some additional information:

Compared to the canonical work, this story will have somewhat darker tones, with an atmosphere that also draws heavily from by many pirate-themed media, including the Pirates of the Caribbean saga.

This is an Oc-centered fic set in a universe where the characters who appeared in the canon series never existed and some events never happened. This is why it can be regarded as a completely original story, but one that draws heavily on and mixes elements taken from One Piece and the mysticism typical of swashbuckling and adventure stories.

Since I think the system created by Oda is quite good, I decided to keep it and expand some elements. I'm referring to groups such as Yonko, Shichibukai, Revolutionary Army, etc.

I have currently written and published well eight chapters of this fanfic reaching 36k words and a ninth chapter is being written.

Summary: "We didn't understand what we were attracted to until it was before our eyes."

Beyond the Grand Line, one of the world's greatest explorers unearthed something that should never have been found and could have thrown the world into chaos if it had fallen into the wrong hands. However, it seems that he himself went back to erase every trace of his journey, including the way to get there and the location of the treasure itself. Some 20 years later, a pirate with a mysterious past known as "The Devil of the Seas" and his extravagant crew are on the trail of the man and the clues he allegedly left behind before mysteriously vanishing into thin air. What is their purpose? What role does the World Government play with all this? And why are the Celestial Dragons so afraid of it?

In a nutshell, my story is about the incredible and chaotic voyage undertaken by Captain Morgan, or as he is commonly called "The Devil of the Seas," a former rear admiral turned very dangerous pirate and outlaw, in order to find a legendary relic to completely destroy the World Government and the World Nobles system, all the while recruiting a crew of such scoundrels and turning the whole world upside down.

Links to the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/41950965

Also, my purpose is also to create with my stories a solid community that is even more passionate about this fantastic work that is One Piece. It would also be cool for multiple authors who are One Piece fans to join together, each creating their own story set in my own universe. We could create spin-offs on various characters, sequels and whatnot. The only limitation would be our imagination. I'm sure there are many out there who feel the same way and are fascinated by this world.

So, come on! Don't be shy and jump aboard!

Let's have fun together!!!!

Dm me for more information or if you are interested or comment this post.

I wonder what Enel is up to in space....

Like seriously. What has he been up to? We're in the final saga of the manga and we haven't seen hide or hair of electric slim shady in years.

My guess if that he found a civilization that worshiped him as a god and where there's no rubber boys to challenge him

He is content.

And maybe he decided to come back to earth, saw that that silly rubber kid that served his own ass to him all those years ago is now being called 'the fifth yonko of the seas' and went 'nope'

One Piece posting

So I've recently catched up with the One Piece manga (as of now, chapter 1100) and have some things to say. (unmarked spoilers for OP below)

I have read One Piece since 2015, and my modus operandi always is to wait a bunch and read a significant block of chapters, ideally a years worth. Factoring that in, I can finally say the Wano arc really tested my patience.

Wano is the longest arc in the series! And i'm not talking the saga (that started ten years ago) Im talking the get-in-the-island get-out-the-island part! Luffy got in Wano in early July, 2018 - and left mid August, 2022, that's four years! And the final showdown in Kaidou's base, the climax of two years of preparations, politics, backstory - took two whole years to boot. It was kinda sad, getting my fresh one piece dose and it's 50 chapters of the same of last year! I glad that is over!

--

Luffy is a zoan-user now, and I saw a good comment stated by a very vanilla wish-fulfillment-protagonist in a isekai one piece fic: Zoan users are - as stated on the manga by various sources - shaped by the animal of the devil-fruit they eat. Carnivorous zoans are more agressive, and so on - this is heightened when the user awakens, sometimes with the user losing their personality and becoming a single minded beast, as was the case with the mino-animals in Impel Down. The point here is: Would a devil-fruitless Luffy be all that friendly and freedom fight-y, had he not eaten the fruit of the Laugh-and-Freedom-Fight-GOD? Was he always like this, or did the Nika inside him ate the person and left the shonen protag? I (like the fic MC that made the coment) don't think one piece is this kind of story - and when we find out what is luffys True Dream (that being Pirate King is only a stepping stone to) is, it will probably be something very Nika like, even if the dream is older than the God-Possession.

--

We got Bartolomew Kuma's story and ho boy, is it a kick-in-the-feelings. Oda loves mistreating us, it's sadness porn all the time, but we are masochists and keep coming back for more. The World Nobles are like a whole nation of Jeoffrey Baratheons, really gives me the desire to cross the screen and strangle them one by one.

--

Oda takes his sweet time introducing loads and loads of new characters and going out on tangents, but I gotta give it to him: I fully believe that when one piece ends, there will be little to none loose strings - the man will lay everything on paper, from the backstory of the world to that of significant major players. In this stretch after Wano, we already got a lot of Revolutionary backstory covered, and also the God Valley - a central point in Garp and Rocks pirates lore.

In the same vein, I like how Oda gives us a progressively more clear view of the past: Legends become events you see in person, and legendary figures become humane. When One Piece started, Gold Roger was this paragon, unattainable pinnacle of a pirate, a very much tell don't show kinda deal. Now we know how he fought, what he liked, how he behaved - And it's nothing 'out of this world' - we even know his bounty and how it compares with those alive today, and it's a value that it's high, but not absurd. A slightly more expensive yonko, but yonkos are - today - beatable antagonists.

--

Speaking of Bounties, my bet for highest bounty is this: Monkey D. Dragon - 10 Billion Beri, give or take a few hundred million. It rounds off nicely in a universe where World Gvt level threats (yonko) that aren't trying to destroy the government are valued 5 Billion 'and change'.

--

The moment Nico Robin discovered that the books of Ohara were saved and the research her friends and family died to protect melted my heart - this was the reading-sprint kick in the feelings i was not expecting, but took with tears in my eyes and a smile in my face.

Yeah, this feeling.

5 INTERESTING ONE PIECE THEORIES THAT MAKE SENSE IN 2023

One Piece is full of unanswered inquiries and secrets, also a spread of cryptic characters. There are a lot of One Piece Theories now that the Wano arc is finished. Fans all around the globe have been speculating multiple aspects of One Piece Theories for ages. Some very few One Piece theories make sense leading to some rather exciting and crazy possibilities. Let us dive into the One Piece world to find some of the best One Piece Theories that will blow your mind.

How strong is Blackbeard?

Do you know that Blackbeard didn’t sleep in his entire life? A normal human needs 8 hours of sleep so that his body and mind can function properly. If we do basic calculations Blackbeard has 3 characters or 3 souls in his body and each sleeps for eight hours.

When one character/soul sleeps another 2 are awake. This must be the reason that he can use only 2 devil fruits at a time. His next devil fruit will be a zoan type because his current fruits are tremor-tremor fruit and dark-dark fruit. Tremor-tremor fruit is a paramecia type and dark-dark is a logia-type devil fruit.

Now the question is which fruit Blackbeard will have. Now Kaido is out of the equation, there is a very low possibility that Blackbeard will have Kaido’s devil fruit because Momonusuke already has Kaidos replicated devil fruit.

But imagine Blackbeard in dragon form and the power of dark-dark devil fruit around him. It will be impossible for Luffy to defeat Blackbeard alone.

Who will be Luffy’s new allies?

There are many characters in One Piece that would ally with Strawhats in wars to come like Katakuri, Marco, Shirahoshi, Yamato, Kuja Pirates, Revolutionary Army, Wano Samurai, Shanks, Law, Captain Kid, and many more. But we all are waiting for the most interesting alliance of Strawhats and Red-hairs. It is highly possible in the next arc to come.

Now that the Wano arc is finally over (manga) there is the possibility that we may see a new alliance of straw hat pirates. Oda in his recent interview stated that One Piece will need more than 3-4 years to complete its story. Considering 4 years, we can speculate that more than 200 chapters of One Piece will come in the future but these 200 chapters are very less for One Piece Theories to come true. So we could consider more than 300+ chapters will arrive in the coming years.

The Yonko saga is not over yet just the wano arc is completed. Two more Yonko’s are left to be dealt with. So it is possible that Oda may wrap up both remaining Yonko’s in the next 70 to 80 chapters. Now according to various One Piece Theories, which Yonko will Luffy ally with? Of course, Luffy will ally with Shanks and fight Blackbeard. We will get to see the full potential of Yonko Red-haired Shanks.

This One Piece theory connects to the previous ones we discussed because fighting Blackbeard will need two strong fighters as he can use two devil fruits at the same time and if his devil fruits are awakened then this alliance is a must for the balance of power in One Piece.

Also, if Blackbeard somehow pushes his limits and starts using 3 devil fruit at the same time considering he gets his third devil fruit then Luffy cannot defeat Blackbeard without any super strong alliance. It’s not like Luffy will kill him because Luffy never kills his enemies. Teach is needed for the final battle but that’s another one of One Piece theories.

Is Shanks Celestial Dragon?

This is one of the most interesting One Piece Theories now that makes sense. We all know the God Valley incident. The God valley incident has been successfully erased from the history books of One Piece by the world government. After this incident, all celestial dragons left the place. Now the theory is, what if a child of some celestial dragon must have been left behind and pirate king Gol D Roger must have felt pity and taken that child with him?

Speaking of that child, Roger must have later accepted him as a member of Roger Pirates and even gave him his Straw Hat. The kid is none other that our Shanks.

[wotakugobrazil]

Os Piratas do Ruivo são uma das tripulações Yonko no mundo de One Piece. Atualmente, no Novo Mundo, essa tripulação domina uma grande parte deste oceano como reis. Eles são liderados por Shanks, o Ruivo, que é o homem que está entre os Quatro Imperadores do Mar, os piratas mais fortes vivos. Os fãs não viram muito dos Piratas do Ruivo em One Piece, no entanto, com a história entrando na Saga Final agora, esta tripulação de piratas estará mais envolvida do que nunca. Ao mesmo tempo, Oda tem se concentrado muito mais nesta tripulação e, finalmente, coisas como a estrutura dos Piratas do Ruivo estão finalmente claras para os fãs. Embora esta tripulação seja forte, ela é categoricamente muito diferente de qualquer outra tripulação Yonko que os fãs viram na série. O Capitão dos Piratas do Ruivo Reprodução: One PieceOs Piratas do Ruivo são, claro, liderados por ninguém menos que Shanks, o Ruivo. Shanks é um famoso pirata que já foi aprendiz do próprio Roger. Navegando no Oro Jackson, Shanks aprendeu o ofício da pirataria com ele e se destacou em todas as artes, ganhando até mesmo elogios suficientes para ser considerado o líder da próxima geração que um dia alcançaria as mesmas alturas que Roger. Após a execução de Roger, Shanks decidiu criar sua própria tripulação de piratas, no entanto, deixou muito claro que não estava mais buscando o One Piece. Por que isso é assim é algo que os fãs não sabem, mas provavelmente tem algo a ver com sua última conversa com Roger. Tempos depois, Shanks estabeleceu sua própria tripulação de piratas e a nomeou de Piratas do Ruivo. Shanks usou os Piratas do Roger como inspiração para sua própria tripulação. Assim como os Piratas do Roger, a própria tripulação de Shanks não tem muitos piratas a bordo. No geral, existem 10 membros principais desta tripulação. Shanks é o próprio capitão, no entanto, ele não é chamado de capitão. Shanks é chamado de Chefe dos Piratas do Ruivo e este é seu título específico dentro do grupo. Isso mostra um nível de respeito que todos os membros da tripulação têm por ele. Ao contrário dos Piratas do Chapéu de Palha, onde cada membro simplesmente chama Luffy pelo nome, os Piratas do Ruivo usam a palavra “Chefe” ou “Ogashira”. O Primeiro Companheiro dos Piratas do Ruivo Reprodução: One PieceMais uma vez, uma grande diferença entre os Piratas do Chapéu de Palha e os Piratas do Ruivo é o fato de que eles têm um Primeiro Companheiro. Enquanto muitos fãs confundem o título de Primeiro Companheiro como aquele que se junta à tripulação primeiro, isso não poderia estar mais longe do que realmente significa. O título de Primeiro Companheiro simplesmente significa Vice-Capitão. Não tem nada a ver com a ordem em que alguém se juntou à tripulação e pode ser qualquer pessoa, escolhida de acordo com o próprio capitão. Quando se trata dos Piratas do Chapéu de Palha, não há Primeiro Companheiro, pois diferentes membros da tripulação se destacam em diferentes coisas e assumiram o comando da tripulação em momentos diferentes. No entanto, com os Piratas do Ruivo, há um Primeiro Companheiro definido da tripulação, e esse é Ben Beckman. Isso é algo que Shanks mais uma vez tirou do livro do Rei Pirata Roger. Os Piratas do Roger também tinham um Primeiro Companheiro, e esse título pertencia a Silvers Rayleigh. Ben Beckman é incrivelmente importante para os Piratas do Ruivo. Enquanto Shanks é principalmente responsável pelo grupo, Beckman é aquele que garante que tudo esteja em ordem quando Shanks está festejando. Shanks é bastante parecido com Luffy e é uma pessoa muito descontraída. Ben Beckman, por outro lado, é mais cuidadoso e reservado. Ele complementa perfeitamente a personalidade de Shanks e é, portanto, absolutamente essencial para que a tripulação funcione tão bem quanto funciona. Ao mesmo tempo, Beckman também é muito poderoso, já que até os Almirantes da Marinha o temem. Os Oficiais dos Piratas do Ruivo Reprodução: One PieceJuntos, Shanks e Beckman formam a liderança dos Piratas do Ruivo. No entanto, além deles, existem mais oito membros nesta tripulação, e eles são conhecidos coletivamente como os Oficiais dos Piratas do Ruivo. Esses Oficiais são incrivelmente poderosos por si só. Acredita-se que todos eles tenham conquistado recompensas altas para si mesmos e que a média deles seja a mais impressionante entre as tripulações Yonko. Ao mesmo tempo, acredita-se que os Piratas do Ruivo sejam a tripulação mais equilibrada entre todos os Quatro Imperadores do Mar. Dos oito comandantes dos Piratas do Ruivo, dois se destacam muito mais do que os outros. São eles Lucky Roux e The Chaser, Yasopp. Lucky Roux é o mais forte dos oito comandantes dos Piratas do Ruivo. Ele possui uma força incrível e provavelmente uma recompensa alta para respaldá-la. Recentemente, ele foi visto lutando em One Piece Film Red, no entanto, se o estilo que ele demonstrou é canônico ou não, ainda está por ser visto. Independentemente disso, Lucky Roux foi visto fazendo seu corpo girar enquanto lutava. Ele também parece ter chutes fortes, o que é algo que ele tem em comum com Sanji. Ao mesmo tempo, acredita-se que ele seja um usuário excepcional do Colorido dos Braços. Ele também possui um certo grau de habilidade quando se trata de tiro preciso, o que o torna muito especial. Enquanto isso, The Chaser, Yasopp, é outro Oficial excepcional dos Piratas do Ruivo. Ele é o segundo mais forte de todos os oito Oficiais e, mais uma vez, assim como Beckman e Roux, ele tem uma alta recompensa em sua cabeça e fez um nome para si mesmo. Ele é, com certeza, o melhor atirador de precisão em todo o mundo de One Piece. Segundo Luffy, ele pode fazer coisas que parecem impossíveis. Ele também parece se destacar no uso do Haki de Observação e, ao mesmo tempo, do Haki de Armamento. Quão Fortes São os Piratas do Ruivo? Reprodução: One PieceDos Quatro Imperadores do Mar, os Piratas do Ruivo podem ser os mais fortes no momento. Acredita-se que sejam a tripulação Yonko mais equilibrada, e isso foi quando Big Mom e Kaido faziam parte deste grupo. Agora, os Piratas do Chapéu de Palha e Buggy estão entre os Quatro Imperadores. Embora os Piratas do Chapéu de Palha sejam certamente fortes, muitos de seus comandantes não são nem de longe tão fortes e certamente precisam aprimorar suas habilidades. Enquanto isso, Buggy e seu Cross Guild possuem algum poder de fogo sério, no entanto, não têm mão de obra suficiente para competir com os Piratas do Ruivo. A única concorrência real para os Piratas do Ruivo atualmente seriam os Piratas do Blackbeard. No entanto, mesmo nesse caso, os comandantes não parecem ser tão impressionantes. Pessoas como Kuzan foram capazes de derrubar vários Comandantes por conta própria ao mesmo tempo. Hancock, a Imperatriz Pirata, também fez o mesmo sem nem mesmo suar. É bastante claro que no momento, os Piratas do Ruivo são os mais fortes de todas as tripulações Yonko, e os fãs só esperam que eles confirmem esta afirmação nos próximos capítulos de One Piece. Confira também: One Piece conta a história de Monkey D. Luffy, um jovem com poderes de borracha cujo sonho é tornar-se o Rei dos Piratas, e da tripulação deles, os Piratas do Chapéu de Palha. Ao todo, o anime conta com mais de 900 capítulos divididos em diversas sagas, e ainda é exibido no Japão, sendo uma das séries mais populares de todos os tempos. Atualmente, o anime está desenvolvendo o arco de Wano, um país inspirado no Japão Feudal e dominado pelo Yonkou Kaidou das Cem Feras. A história de Luffy e seus amigos pode ser acompanhada na íntegra no Crunchyroll, em japonês com legendas em português ou na Netflix com as duas primeiras grandes sagas dubladas. Já o mangá de One Piece é publicado no Brasil pela Panini. Origem: Criticalhits

@akagamiko​ asked: 😘

It's international kissing day! Send 😘 to kiss my muse. (Still Accepting!)

Ikkaku was standing by the tavern’s bar, laughing at Beckman’s recount of a mishap during the Red Haired Pirates’ most recent voyage. Naturally, Shanks had been the cause of the problem and had ended up being the butt of the first mate’s snarky asides about the whole situation. The ridiculousness of what had happened, added with Beckman’s delightfully dry sense of humor, had the engineer in stitches, her giggles rising above the din of conversation among their crews.

The feeling of warm lips and rough stubble against her cheek caught her attention, and Ikkaku turned to find the man she’d been laughing at’s chin resting on her shoulder. His expression could best be described as puppy dog eyes, and once again she found herself laughing.

“Look at the mighty Yonko, pouting like a kid,” Ikkaku teased, reaching up to pat his head. “Maybe if you didn’t always get yourself into ridiculous situations, Beckman wouldn’t have so many stories to share.”

Still, to soothe his ego, Ikkaku did lean in to press a kiss to his nose. Then she turned to the bartender to order another drink to put on Shanks’ tab. After all, Beckman had forewarned her that his story was just one of a multi-part saga that was Shanks’ most recent shenanigans.

Both great choices

For me, I'd probably go with Thriller Bark from One Piece.

I think this arc does a great job in introducing Brook, setting up the upcoming Marineford Saga (Best Anime Saga, fight me), it ties back to stuff we got earlier in the story, mainly with Brook's bond with Laboon, we have one of the only times where ALL the Straw Hats fight as a single unit during battle (which should happen more often IMO), Despite being a downgrade from Rob Lucci, Moria still serves as a good antagonist & foil to Luffy by showing him a version of him that became lazy & apathetic after a really big loss against a Yonko & of course, the "Nothing Happened" scene, which is peak fiction in every way.

Plus, I'm a huge fan of the Halloween Theme of Thriller Bark. It's such a cool looking & distinct location, even by One Piece standards. I know a lot of people don't like Skypeia & Dressrosa due to how much those Arcs drag out & while i kinda agree, the good from both arcs outway then bad & for me, Thriller Bark is the same way.

Also, it gave us arguably the funniest scene in the entire show, which is an absolute plus

Is there an unpopular arc that you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

For RWBY that's easy, I really like V5, though it seems like the FNDMs view on it has evolved in recent years.

Besides that hmm, I actually quite liked several of the early Naruto filler arcs, Land of Sea, Birds, ETC.

In both cases I liked them cos they were great for exploring the worlds and characters and in the latter case were nicely grounded which fit with what I wanted from the series at the time.

THIS IS A BIG ONE.

A BIG ONE.

Chapter title: We die together.

Let's see if I can manage not to scream about the last panel before getting there... let's just get everything else out of the way first.

Kaido!! Let's talk about Kaido for a second. I hope we get his backstory soon, because I'm really intrigued by him and his mindset. He looked so distraught when Luffy was held back by CP0, and he defeated him. That's either because he defeated him with someone else's interference (meaning we sort of get another Katakuri-esque mentality) or he just wanted to keep clashing with Luffy, seeing as he hadn't had a proper one-on-one in ages and he seems like he quite enjoys fighting. So yes, I want more!!

Aside from being distraught about the defeat, (and I'm jumping back and forth a little) Kaido definitely lives up to his name in my opinion. He fought Big Mom (Almost forgot about this actually!!) the samurai, scabbards, then he fought Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kidd, and Killer (albeit not quite intensely), then he had another clash with Luffy, then he fought Yamato, then he fought Luffy again and now he's already looking for more trouble, and looking for more people to fight--

It is a little disturbing, though, having to see a panel like this:

I never would have ever expected to see a panel with Kaido being written as the victor. Luffy has lost multiple times in the story by now, but not having a clear winner is always indication of him coming back but this says it clearly- Victor: Kaido.

I'll talk more about Luffy but let me mention some other stuff first:

First of all!! This arc is doing a splendid job at really showcasing Nami's loyalty and complete trust in Luffy. She refuses to believe he's down, and not only that but she also literally screams directly at Kaido - AND CALLING HIM AN OVERSIZED SNAKE

And also!! Thank you Marco!! Again!! For the thousandth time!!! For helping and saving us!!!!!

Second of all!!

The more I read, the more I love Yamato!! Like I would love for Yamato to join the strawhats, genuinely. Yamato's connection to Ace and just the overall vibe and ambitions. Also!! Yamato's idea of refusing to ever surrender and become a slave is similar to Luffy's own mindset. When Momonosuke wanted to surrender to Kaido because he thought Luffy had lost and there was no chance of ever winning without him, so Yamato said this (amazing, goosebumps, lovely, amazinh, amazing, amzaing):

They'll (The Samurai) live and then what? They'll be slaves until the day they finally die from exhaustion. In the end, surrendering won't save anyone!! All the Daimyo that allowed Orochi to have his way went to their graves full of regret. Everything Wano endured for the past 20 years was for the sake of this battle. Even if surrender is our only option, I'd rather we die together!!

AND NOW!! TO THE HIGHLIGHT, THE STAR, THE !!!!! OF THIS CHAPTER

What happened to Luffy? We see Momonosuke say that Luffy's "voice" has vanished, and surprisingly (!!) so does Law - signaling that Law, too, could hear the voice (?) of things or perhaps this is just another one of those Koby moments, where a great Observation Haki allows you to "hear" or sense people. In the manga we get SFX next to panels of Luffy that show that his heart literally stopped beating. This all seems to point to him "dying" but BUT and this is the important part - Zunisha hearts something.

Momonosuke, I can hear it...!! It really takes me back. I can hear the drums of liberation... this is the first time in 800 years. He is there, without a doubt-

JOY BOY.

He has returned.

OH MY GOD????????????????????????? AND BREAK NEXT WEEK??? AFTER THIS CLIFFHANGER???? THERE'S NO WAY

I've seen so many people make different theories, is Joy Boy literally taking over Luffy's body or has Luffy come alive again with Joy Boy`? Is Joy Boy the "devil" in luffy's devil fruit awakening, did he come back because Luffy "died"?

SO MANY QUESTIONS SO LITTLE ANSWERS I CAN'T WAIT TWO WEEKS FOR THIS??????
