It'll be interesting to see what an older version of chopper would look like, even if it is just two years. For all we know Oda could suddenly have him taller than even Brook. And I'm expecting Usopp to be ripped and Zoro to have a couple of new scars. Not sure about everyone else, though. Nami could have longer hair or something, though it's kind of hard to imagine what an older version of her would look like. Brook will still be a skeleton, but maybe with a larger afro. Franky could do anything to his body. I can't see Robin changing much. Hopefully, Sanji still wears his typical suit and retains his masculinity/perverted attitude. As for Luffy, I can see him being physically bigger, like Whitebeard or Garp.

They've all looked more or the less the same even in their flashbacks, so I doubt Oda would do anything super drastic.

Whats the point of having a big gomuningen? 😛 i bet he will stay mostly tha same.

imagine if usopp turned all that fat into muscles..tt'll be something

The chapter's out! The new design's are:
Luffy has a large x-shaped scar on his chest, similar to one of Lucci's back scars.
Zoro does not appear in the chapter (though he arrives at Shabaody first, wtf).
Usopp is now somewhat buff and has longer hair. He has several new attacks involving plants.
Sanji's hair is now parted to the right, revealing his left eye and eyebrow, and he now has a goatee. [pic here]
Nami has long hair and is more voluptuous.
Chopper has a new hat.
Robin has long hair and has it combed back out of her forehead.
Franky does not appear in the chapter.
Brook is now a rock star, talking in a trashy, rock star way.

I don' think should physically change much but I think they need to show that the character grew up and got stronger. Besides that I seriously can't wait for the new chapter. I've been watching OP to hold me over but this time skip has got me going crazy.

Would you guys like to see some character design changes? I would like it, with them again 2 years, I would like to see them look older. I mean Naruto did it, and I gotta say I liked it. Also, is it this week or next week when 598 is coming out?

its a 4 week break i think

I love the new look for the characters. Hm...going to be some nice figures and PVC ones too. Just couldn't wait and skimmed through RAWs and translations.

nice but i like USOPP (i think thats how you spell his name) better when hes fat ^.^

D'oh!

I expected Usopp to be a really big, buff guy, but he isn't.

Oda-sensei never does anything wrong! Lol! 😀
Great work!
