Is Dragon Ball Super considered canon?
Is Dragon Ball Super considered an original works by Akira Toriyama?

This really depends on what you consider canon, but for now let's define "canon" as material that's covered in the original source material and has impact on the story.
Since this season does have a manga adaptation and takes place after Kid Buu Saga from Dragon Ball Z but before the tournament with Uub, I would say that this is canon material.

But, After seeing more then the first episode I think its safe to say that the anime does not follow the manga 100%. Therefore I consider it somewhat canon.

Is the manga being created by Toriyama-sensei?

@krikara he wrote the plot and the character draft.

This answer is wrong though. In the first chapter we see the fused Supreme Kai and Kubito, which happens only during the Fusion Saga and we also see how Goku defeated Kid buu, which happens during the Kid Saga. It seems that the story enters before the timeskip from chapter 518.

the story actually takes place after the buu saga but before battle of gods and fukkatsu no F

@jordykramer. What buu saga are you talking about? Are you talking about the Kid buu saga? I might be nitpicking here but thats actually incorrect because the kid buu saga ends with goku flying off with Uub, 10 years in the future and the Super series is obviously before that tournament. As i said, the story takes place within the kid buu saga, just before the 10 year time skip.

@PeterReaves. mhm it seems you are correct there peter, it seems the story of dragn balll super takes place after goku beat kid buu but before the tournement with uub.

Most part of the anime is not in the manga adaptation though. So according to your own definition of canon, it would not be considered canon?

@PeterRaeves well, I wrote this answer after seeing the first episode. I agree on the fact that the anime does not follow the manga 100% and that its really up to the viewer to decide. I shall edit my answer.

After a couple of years the anime and the manga have shown to be very different in some aspects.

Yes, it is. The stories for both the anime and manga versions of Dragon Ball Super are indeed written by Akira Toriyama.
From Wikipedia:

In addition to his role as series creator, Akira Toriyama is also credited for the "original story & character design concepts" of the new anime directed by Kimitoshi Chioka.

The anime is being adapted into a companion manga by Toriyama alongside artist Toyotarō, author behind the official Resurrection 'F' manga adaptation. It began serialization in the August 2015 issue of V Jump, which was released on June 20.

This leaves open your title question whether the anime should be considered canon.
Here Madara Uchiha answered that filler equals not canon, while pieces written by the original author should be considered canon. Now the DBS anime is both, seeing how "Vegeta's day out" would be filler, yet is written by the original author.
Here ton.yeung answered that something should be considered canon when the material is borrowed from the original works. So if you would consider the manga as original work, than the anime would be filler, yet if you would consider Toriyama's mind as original work it would be canon.
Seeing how at this point it is rather messed up and confusing, my two cents would be that it will probably be considered filler (non canon) after a while. People would either forget (or don't care) the additional episodes were produced by Toriyama or would stick by the general rule that only the original works (aka the manga in this case) can be considered canon, despite the author of the anime. So, not sure if it is, but manga readers will probably consider all the extra content not to be canon, while anime watchers will probably not even know/care about the existence of the manga and unknowingly think everything that happened in the anime to be canon.

I think you should cite: Written by  Akira Toriyama (Story & Character Draft) part in the box on the right hand side, which is stronger assertion in my opinion.

@nhahtdh I have the feeling OP is asking more than just Did he write the story and that he does not seem to know that there is also a manga adaptation for the series. If he did, he could have just wikipedia-ed the series himself and found the author. That's why the focus was more on that, than just the author. Also I don't really see how Written by Toriyama or Being adapted by Toriyama is much different though.

I had a misconception that the OP asks about the anime exclusively, so that's the reason of my comment.

@nhahtdh I guess it boils down again to the question "What is considered canon". The anime might be written by Toriyama, but seeing how most of the anime is not even in the manga and does not really contribute to the story, should it be considered canon? :/

+_+ Dunno, it really is a mess with this series and the definition of canon also. I was intending to provide another point of view to the issue when I asked you to put your comment up as answer, but didn't realize it was such a mess.

Being written by Akira Toriyama can't be the only reason to consider Dragon Ball Super canon. Because Battle of Gods and Resurrection of F also were written by Akira Toriyama, and they have some concepts/events different to Dragon Ball Super . I have doubts if it's absolutely canon. In the future they might take ideas from those movies over Dragon Ball Super to write sequels.

As much as i love super already... Technically Super is not cannon with Z either. Why? because it takes place straight after the buu fight (Between the 10 year time skip). Pan's not even born yet & Goku sure as hell had not activated god mode before the fight with Uub at the tournament (Last Episode Of Z). Completely parallel timeline. Although it does state it is on: http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_timeline , however it also states GT is apart of the timeline aswell which many would argue is not. But still a series worth watching and cannot wait to see how it pans out!

While the story will indeed contradict the 10 year peace of the original story, the question was more about the author of DBS. DBGT was not written by Toriyama and by that reason not considered canon, but DBS has been written by the same author as DB though and will by that reason be considered canon I suppose.

@PeterRaeves Exactly. Canon just means an original works by the author in question. There may still be plotholes in the story, like in this case.

@PeterRaeves: You might want to put the fact that the author of DBS is the original author of DB as an answer.

Yes it is.  Now here's something I didn't realize until I looked into it, if you want to get technical: DB Super, being written by Akira Toriyama, will actually be the ONLY dragon ball anime that IS canon.  I'm Not sure why people think it isn't, they are all wrong.
Dragon ball, DBZ, and GT are technically NOT canon as Toriyama didn't write for them.  They were based directly and heavily on his manga but he didn't write for those anime so they can't be considered canon per se.  He has also called GT a "side story" so while most fans consider the first two animes MOSTLY canon (due to his influence) as he wasn't really TOO involved in GT (aside from some plot points and character design) most fans don't consider GT canon.
Super will actually be the only dragon ball anime that is canon.

Do you possibly have an sources for this?

yes, simply re-read my post.  The CREATOR who wrote the original canon did NOT write these series and thus are not canon...just fan fiction.  Being a well funded fan fiction doesn’t make it canon

Why is Sanji wanted alive only?
In One Piece manga chapter 801, all the members of the Straw Hat Crew have gotten new bounties on their heads, being shown on those wanted posters. Do you guys have any ideas as to why Sanji's poster only stated wanted: alive only? What makes him so special that the government wants him alive?

As for now, this is unknown, but many believe Sanji to be of Tenryubito or noble decent, that's why the WG wants him alive. For example when he called himself "Mr. Prince", many believe that to be foreshadowing of him actually being a prince. That's why they think Oda deliberately left his face out of the first bounty poster, not just as a gag, but to prevent people in the OP world from finding out early in the story. It might have left plotholes otherwise.

@PeterRaeves yes we don't know the true answert jet, but i think there are also enough hints about his past to talk about it. It's not like there are no hints at all.

@Nube1 I added the actual poster. If you think it is too much, feel free to remove it again.

if he doesn't exists it's quite hard to catch him alive.

I also thought about this question and I have to agree that at the moment we can only guess what is the reason behind everything with Sanji.
Here are some facts:

Sanji is the only crew member about whom, we know nothing about (his family and his hometown). We just know he is from the North Blue.
Sanji has a very noble behavior and acts like a gentleman, which could be because of his education.
Sanji calls himself "Mr. Prince" in little garden.

Zoro calls him "Prince of idiots" during the fight with Foxy.
Sanji's following quote is also very suspicious:

Another point is that Sanji mentioned he was born in the North Blue and knew the land "Noland". Additionally, he wore a red-white hat two times (also in his zombie form), which have the same color as the buildings in the Lvneel Kingodm.

And these are just a few clues about Sanji. It seems obvious that Sanji's history must be quite interesting. It's possible that Sanji has some secret information which the Marines need, or he is an aristocrat, or maybe even a World Noble whom they want to get back alive.
Additionally, I remembered this video with lots of speculation about Sanji.
It's  very interesting.
Enjoy.

That has now become cleared in the recent chapters

This was unknown when you asked, but later in chapter 812 we learn a bit. Along the line, up to 875, we get the following conclusion.

 Sanji's dad did that. It is because he wants to capture him to marry one of Big Mom's daughters. The reason why Sanji was needed by his father who told him before "Don't you ever consider yourself my offspring again" is because whoever marries Big Mom's daughter becomes her pet. No Vinsmoke wants that. They just want an aliance with her. So his father realizes he had his old "failure of a son" and asked for that condition for the bounty. Before then, Sanji's "gentleman attitude" is a bit not like his father wanted, so he is locked up in a cell and runs away.

What came to mind was that it would be something to do with his past. With his first wanted poster, the camera had the lens cap on, so there was no picture and so few people really knew who Black Leg Sanji really looked like. But with the new one, the picture finally came across some high up in the government and finally recognize Adult Sanji and child Sanji. And this person being someone with some pull was able to change the bounty to Alive only. But who could this person be?? One idea was that someone that was on the ship that Orbit, that Sanji was on before Zeff and the Cook pirates attacked. Myabe this person felt guilty about Sanji being tossed overboard and not being able to help him, wants to try to help him change his way.
or maybe some female navy officer saw Sanjis picture and flip out, the same way he flips out when he sees any girl. And now she wants sanji for herself.

I think that's the really the worst hypothesis. How can anyone from Orbit have such authority? And the thing about the marine officer is worse; she'd be punished for that cause sanji is a pirate

Who is captain Jack?
The name of Captain Jack first appeared in Chapter 801 when Doflamingo was escorted by the Navy to Impel down following his defeat by the StrawHats in Dressrosa.
Captain Jack seems ready to take on the might of a Marine Admiral Fujitora and former fleet admiral Sengoku in order to rescue Doflamingo. Captain Jack again appears in the most recent chapter 805.
Is anything known of Captain Jack? Is he one of the unknown shichibukai?

I edited your question to be a bit less opinion based. If I broke the context feel free to edit/revert it.

Not much is known about Jack. Thus far, Jack has only been mentioned three times.

In chapter 692 during the failed experiment by Caesar
In chapter 801 during the escort of Doflamingo
In chapter 805 during the explanation of the destruction of Zou.

The only thing we seem to learn from this is that he is related to Kaidou, but we don't know the reason he was send by Kaidou to Doflamingo and why he destroyed Zou. My personal guess would be that Kaidou sent Jack to Doflamingo (as was seen in number 1) to prepare for the last battle as Kaidou said in chapter 795:

Goddamn it, hurry the hell up, Joker! Get everything ready for our last battle! A world this mundane isn't worth keeping around! Time to light the match to the greatest war this world has ever seen!

Jack probably came by Zou and destroyed it, because that seems to be what he does. Kaidou's underling seemed to have warned Kaidou something bad would happen if they send out Jack.
Finally, he isn't one of the 7 warlords. The five remaining confirmed warlords are Mihawk, Kuma, Hancock, Buggy and Weevil after Doflamingo and Water Law were stripped of their title. There has been no mention of a new warlord ever since Fujitora apologized for such a system even being in place.
My personal guess would be that there might not even be more warlords. It seems many of the Marines dislike the system (eg: Sengoku, Fujitora, Smoker, etc) and they might want to take this opportunity to get rid of it. Especially seeing 3 out of 6 ex-warlords blatantly abused the system to get away with their evil deeds and did more harm then good by being a warlord (ie: Crocodile, Doflamingo and Teach)

Can Logia users be hurt by intangible attacks?
After reading chapter 757 I wondered the following:

 Rayleigh explained that objects like your body or other weapons could be imbued with Haki, but what about waves, beams or slashes? After reading the fight between Sabo and admiral Fujitori, it made me wonder if admiral Fujitora would be able to actually hurt Sabo with his power instead of just toying him around. I first thought something similar after seeing Law fight Smoker in Punk Hazard. Law didn't hurt smoker at all, while he sliced up every other person and every object nearby. He had to subdue him by taking his heart and he did so by actually touching him and not by using a long-ranged attack. At first I thought it was because Smoker could block or evade all his slashes, but now I start to think it was because Logia users can't be hit with intangible attacks.

does intangible attack performed by logia user also included here like Yasakani no Magatama of kizaru

@mirroroftruth Yes. Would Kizaru be able to coat his light-bullets with Haki?

than answer can be yes because logia user can be hit without using haki , i just need to find one example with intangible attack

@mirroroftruth I'm asking in general, so the attack should work on all logia users and not by using the natural weakness of the user.

I'm asking in general, so the attack should work on all logia users then that is going to be hard one because even Haki user can't hit logia user if logia user is highly trained and skilled like admirals.

@mirroroftruth you can assume they would stand still in elemental form. Would someone be able to hurt them by using a wave, a beam or a slash (not touching the sword). For example in the fight with monet the swordsman and -women always seemed to come in closer for the kill instead of slashing from afar as what zoro usually does.

Yes, the Logia user can be hurt by intangible attack. The fight between Monet, Zoro and Tashigi where Monet was going to bite off Tashigi shoulder Zoro cut Monet face using slash/wave, bloods flows so definitely its a hit and it is a slash/wave because Zoro was far from Monet and walking toward her to blow final attack. Episode 613 17:23-17:35.
Here is the YouTube video clip

Technically the answer is yes, as any Logia can be hit by any sort of attack if they're in their flesh form, either because they were caught off guard and didn't reflexively transform, or if they wanted to take the hit (for example to shield someone else), or when they are wearing sea stone handcuffs.
I think the answer to the question of whether intangible attacks can hit logia users in general though is no.
Logia users have two ways of evading attacks in general, they can become their element, such as when Crocodlie is hit by bullets and simply becomes sand where the bullets hit and then reforms, or by changing their shape they can avoid the attack, such as when Aokiji opened up a hole in his own chest when Whitebeard stabbed him with a haki infused bisento.
I think the first method suffices for a basic intangible attack, as from what we have seen it is not possible to use haki on an intangible attack.
Sword beams are different, as they look intangible, but other than with Law, who uses his devil fruit, what swordsmen such as Zoro and Mihawk do is swing their sword fast enough to send the air in front of the sword flying at you at very high speeds, and they can transfer haki to the air itself, as when Zoro sliced Monet.
However, proper intangible energy based attack, such as Enel's Lightning, Kizaru's light and possibly Fujitora's gravity have never been shown to have haki infused in them, and Rayleigh's explanation didn't mention this as a possibility.
Also, there are relatively few intangible attacks in One Piece as a whole, some which seem to be such as Ace's hiken are in fact Ace turning his fist into fire, making the fire huge and hitting you with it, so this attack could easily contain haki. Ace's move where he fires fire through his fingers like a gun however, probably could not contain haki.
I don't think it is possible, unless you were to hit them when they are in their flesh form, or with their eleme metal weakness, as the only thing that can normally hit a logia's true body when they are transformed is busoshoku haki.

To be honest it would be inconsistent if you could imbue air-particles but not fire-particles or any other kind of particles. So apart from that I think I'd agree that it wouldn't be possible. Monet was probably caught off guard as she was biting Tashigi's shoulder and didn't expect Zorro to attack and needed flesh form to bite down on her shoulder.

I see where you're coming from, but I think the difference is that the air particles were there to begin with, and just pushed by Zoro, like bullets, but the fire particles are created by Ace and shot out. It's a subtle distinction, but I think it's important.

Logia users can be hit with intangible attacks. Users of Busoshoku Haki can strike Logia users as if they were human. When Haki is applied to a Logia user while they are intangible, rather than nullifying the powers completely; it turns the user back to their physical form. I have listed 2 other ways to damage Logia users too:

Logia users suffer the same weakness to the sea and Kairoseki as with other Devil Fruit users, forcing them back into their original form and sealing their powers. By using a weapon that is coated or tipped with Kairoseki. An example of this is the Nanashaku Jitte that Smoker uses as his primary weapon. It can be used to nullify Devil Fruit powers simply by contact.
Another way to harm a Logia is to exploit the element itself, using its properties to solidify the user and rendering them vulnerable to damage. For example, Enel, being made of electricity, is vulnerable to Luffy's rubber body despite his honed reflexes, since rubber is an insulator. Another example is Crocodile, who, being made of sand, can be struck if his body is dampened (either by getting him wet or striking with wet limbs), since sand sticks together if wet.

Could you give a chapter or a link that backs up your answer?

Smoker's Jitte or Luffy's fist aren't really examples of intangible attacks as they are both tangible items. So could you back up your statement Logia users can be hit with intangible attacks with other examples?

How does the state know when people transmute something into gold?
In FMA, transmuting gold is against the law. However, I don't get this - How does the state know when people transmute something (e.g. bread into gold)?.
There's nothing to stop someone from transmuting bread into a gold coin, walking into a store and then going on their merry way out as if nothing happened, because there's absolutely no way to know that it was bread to start off with. (Please correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't been watching the anime in a while and have only started re-watching again).
So, how will/how does the state know when someone has transmuted something into gold? How do they deal with this? e.g. imprisonment, fines etc.

All transmuted objects have a distinct pattern. I bet if you looked closely, even crushed and smoothed pieces of gold could give out their true nature. I suppose, if you melted it though it wouldn't be a problem, but then again maybe the chemical composition would be off, like too high purity.

I think this would be related to the Silver Content in coins mentioned in Spice and Wolf, transmuted gold wont have the same "purity" as real gold because of the other elements in it, valuers would probably notice something is off at first and would get State Alchemists (or even just Alchemists hired by the State) to analyze it, however i don't know of the exact punishments

to further @user1306322 comment, in Brotherhood Ed noticed when a wall had been transmuted to conceal an entrance while whenever we see large stuff transmuted there's like a plated pattern on them (Walls, Leeto's Fist)

Also, your Bread to Gold example is a poor one, like Ed's Gold Coal that Youki received from him as an "unrelated gift", turning bread to gold will probably just be gold looking bread, it'll probably be much, much softer and an easy give away when handled, given Alchemy is give and take an object similar in density to gold would be better

@Memor-X- I kind of just randomly thought up an example. But say you just turned something like coal then I guess into bars of gold like in the 2003 anime, you wouldn't really be able to tell the difference. So how does the state find out whether you transmuted it or not or anyone like a normal shop owner for example know?

Relevant: given Al's comments I think transmuting gold from lesser metals (actually I think this was the goal of RL alchemy?) is possible, but not necessarily transmuting gold from things like bread. Admittedly (at least in the 2003) there's a bit of fudging with this - e.g. in the end of the Fullmetal vs. Flame episode, Ed transmutes a perambulator from a wooden crate.

Chances are alchemy allows to separate any composites into distinct materials, and so "dissolving" a real golden coin and a fake one would probably show the differences. Then again, what stands in the way of an experienced coin forger alchemist to create a fake coin with the same impurities as the real coins have?

Short Answer
Becoming rich isn't exactly subtle, and Locard's exchange principle suggests that there's always some way to get to the truth in matters like this.
Long answer
Let's be clear about something: This isn't Harry Potter, the state doesn't know when a transmutation is performed.* Mustang was sent to find Edward because they had heard about his abilities by word of mouth.
There is no surefire way to know whether or not an alchemist has created gold. While it is possible for them to do so, you'd find that any mechanism they had for catching said alchemists would be similar to the real-world practice of insider trading or counterfeiting.
In counterfeiting, there are telltale signs of illegal bills. In alchemy, transmutation marks are often left by alchemists as the science is not really a perfect one. As @looper mentioned, you could melt the gold, but then you'd still need equipment to put it back into bars or some tradable form. Alchemists aren't blacksmiths.
That said, there's exceptions. Consider Major Armstrong, whose alchemy is one of the most refined around, such that he leaves no transmutation marks on his average transmutation. Say he manufactures a few gold bars and sells them to pay for some under-the-table deals he made. The state would have no way of catching him—there is nothing that sets his gold apart from real gold, and they probably wouldn't even know about the deal to begin with.
However, say he starts doing it regularly. He upgrades his car, his house (even though he already has a mansion, go figure), wears a brand new watch, and so on. This is likely the point when the state would start to question where he acquired such funds (especially knowing his salary). In this case, he could be "audited" (assuming such a practice exists in-universe) and he'd likely be caught.
*Now, there is a point I have not addressed:

 Because, in Brotherhood, Father regulates all alchemical exchanges in Amestris, it's possible he'd have some way to look in on this. However, I highly doubt that, even though he essentially owns the state military and thusly all of Amestris, he'd care whatsoever about gold entering the country's economy illegally.

This answer probably got a bit more "real" than you expected, but I think that's just the truth. It's the same with their "creating humans" rule; they'd have no way to know you did it until you did something to make it clear.

+1. The state has no infallible way of knowing if an alchemist is creating gold, but by outlawing the practice, they discourage people from attempting it. In the FMA world, criminal investigations work the old-fashioned way.

In the 2003 anime, it seems impossible to transmutate something to gold (without the philosophers stone of course), because Ed coats gold on the coal instead of transmuting the coal directly.
If the alchemist is good enough, it's impossible to find out whether the gold was transmuted from something else. If he tries to make "perfect" gold, he will be noticed because there's no pure gold, so he just needs to think about the correct composition.
In the case that there are any marks on the gold, he can simply melt it (although I believe that a skilled alchemist can avoid that because not all transmutations in the anime show such marks).
The only way to notice is when the alchemist tries to circulate the gold. If the market is flooded by cheap gold, you will notice it. Also, there is no "alarm" when someone transmutes gold, or otherwise Ed would have serious problems :D.
As to how the alchemist are punished: All I know is that they will be tried in Central City (Source: It was mentioned that Shou Tucker will be sent there for transmuting humans). Or they will be ignored if it was too minor or is helpful (look at the Elric-Brothers: It's known that they tried to revive their mother but they are still state-alchemists).

When will Fairy Tail (2014) be dubbed?
I really love the Fairy Tail anime, but cannot seem to find more dubbed episodes in English after episode 175. Does any one know when FUNimation will continue dubbing the Fairy Tail anime?

Funimation confirmed here that they will start releasing the dub for season 2 in july this year (2015). So I guess that would mean, this question should be reopened?

I tried to re-formulate your question, so if you think it differs from what you had intended to ask, please feel free to rollback any time.

@PeterRaeves well even then its still off-topic.

@Alagaros On what grounds? He is asking about an announced future event from a legal source. As far as I know, these are not off-topic.

@PeterRaeves hmm seems your right, my bad!

It looks like my original comment does link to the release of season 2 of Fairy Tail, but a different season 2 as I assumed. It links to the release of Funimation's second Fairy Tail season aka episodes 49 to 72 and not to the 2014 sequel series aka all episodes going from 176.
I ended up saving face though as I eventually discovered that Funimation had actually announced their release date for their seventh season not too long ago. As you can see below, Fairy Tail season 7 (aka episodes 176 to 187) is scheduled for June 30th 2015.
The schedule can be found here.
Update
So the release should have been tomorrow, yet it seems the release has been delayed by six weeks. If you look at their current schedule, Fairy Tail season 7 seems to be moved to August 11th 2015 as mentioned by shadowx123.

What happened to Fairy Tail Monthly?
Since July 17th 2014, Fairy Tail Monthly has been released. Every month at the 17th it is supposed to come out with the aim to:

Entertain
Inform users of important series information, rumors, funfacts, trivia, etc.
Inform users of ongoing important votes, discussions, and articles needing improvement
Provide users with a quick summary of happenings in the past month, e.g. user rights changes, major community decisions, discussion results
Keep users updated with the latest contests, community activities, etc.

It should also contain a chapter of Fairy Tail Zero, written by Hiro Mashima. Since the chapter is due 11 days now, it made me wonder whether something has happened to the magazine. Was it not yet released in Japan due to Golden Week? Or did the magazine just not contain a chapter this month? Is there anyone that might know more about the magazine and the chapter?

That seems to be a magazine by Fairy Tail Wiki, not by the author.

@nhahtdh I see, you are correct, he only writes the series, but that doesn't change the question though as to what has happened to the may-release?

I found chapter 11 spoilers here, so I guess it's delay on the scanlation's side, not the author http://tuttoanimemanga.forumcommunity.net/?t=56581337

Did Ace master any Haki abilities?
Ace was the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard crew, but he hadn't displayed power befitting of his title. Besides the fact that he was a Logia user with the power to control fire from Mera-Mera No Mi, he has not demonstrated any other type of powers like Haki.
For example:

In the Alabasta Arc, he fought against Smoker, but he wasn't able to put up a good fight, claiming that both were Logia users and the fight would end with no result.
This also raises questions about Smoker's Haki abilities and the fact that even Smoker wasn't able to use Haki at that time.
He wasn't able to hit Blackbeard when Blackbeard used his Logia power.
He showed no resistance when Akainu hit him, not even weak Haki, and took the hit head-on.

He never fought Logia users with Haki, nor has he shown remarkable Kenbunshoku Haki.
Haki was revealed after the time skip, but it has been there since Rayleigh's and Roger's times. Were Ace's abilities limited to his Devil Fruit power only?

As a short answer: It is actually very uncommon to have Haki, even in Paradise (begin of the Grandline). This changes drastically from the New World onwards as those without Haki die pretty fast there.

Yes, Ace had possessed Haoshoku Haki.
According to Portgas D. Ace article on One Piece Wiki:

While not portrayed in the main storyline, it was revealed in a flashback that Ace possesses Haoshoku Haki, which at the time he had no conscious control over. Ace first demonstrated the ability at 10 years of age, when he knocked the Bluejam Pirates crew unconscious after an outburst of rage (only Bluejam himself remained conscious from the Haki release, and he was a high-tier of East Blue at the time). Much as Luffy used his Haki to knock out a crowd of Kuja warriors, Ace used his Haki to knock out the attacking members of Bluejam's pirate crew.
Ace was first shown to have knowledge about it when during the Battle in Marineford, he witnessed Luffy unknowingly unleash his Haki and remarked "You too?". He has never been seen using Haki apart from during his childhood.

Ace unleashed Haoshoku Haki in chapter 587...

... and Bluejam's pirate crew after they are hit by Ace's Haki.

He might have developed and mastered other types of Haki too, but they are not shown in the manga. After all, he was the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates and had the power of D.

Using conqueror's Haki once is not enough proof for the presence of all three Haki abilities and there are rumors that that demonstration of Haki during childhood was by Dragon who was lurking in the shadows protecting Luffy and save him, like he did against Smoker. Also he has not shown Haki even if his life is at risk? That's unusual and hard to grasp.

It is enough just for once, actually every body possess Haki which is also call will power, it depends upon you activate it or not, there are condition where haki is activated, once activated you should train hard it to control and master it, check here for more information about haki

Then why didn't he use it against Smoker, Blackbeard and Akainu?

for that you should ask another question , question answer in comment will not be good

In the theory, if Sugar loses consciousness, the effect of the Hobby Fruit will lift off, and the toys will turn back being their original form. So, they prepared a super hot pill, disguised it as a grape, and trying to make Sugar eat it.
I don't understand this plot. They have never tried to poison, intoxicate or faint out by spices any of their foes any time. Why are they using this kind of attack particularly for Sugar? Why don't they just beat the ship out of her just like they have been doing to every enemy they have ever faced?

Keep in mind that it isn't the strawhats that are trying to take down Sugar, but the dwarves are, together with Kyros (although he wouldn't stick around to deal with Sugar as his main goal is surprise-killing Doflamingo). Robin and Usopp just got mixed up in the situation, but they aren't leading the operation. Additionally Robin and Usopp were never the fighting types to begin with. If Luffy would have been there, it would have been a totally different situation. To this date (chapter 787), there is no other Straw Hat that even knows about Sugar and her ability.
Additionally the dwarves are known as great cultivators as they stated that they can cultivate any plant, as evidenced by the abundance of plant life on Green Bit (wiki). Therefore it makes more sense to take down their enemy with spices than by force. It's their speciality and what they are famous for, despite their inhumane strength. (chapter 726)

Lastly, this is probably the main reason, without them actually ever stating this obvious fact. They know they aren't strong enough to take Trebol down. So a frontal attack would never work as they know Trebol will always be by Sugar's side and unless they go about sneaking around with spices they would suffer a horrible defeat. In the end, this was exactly how it went down.
Additionally as pointed out by Wouter, even if the Tontatta would be physically stronger than Sugar, they need to take her down, before she can touch them, or they would be turned into a toy, exactly as what happened in the end. They underestimated her, because she was only a little girl. So without using ranged attacks, it would be unwise to attack her. I'm not completely sure why Usopp did not just snipe her though (at that time). He would have been the perfect match as we saw later in the story.

Also the problem with sugar is that she has to touch you to turn you, so a physical attack won't work in terms of beating her, one punch and you're a toy

Why did Luffy react to Nami's body, but not to Hancock's?

When Luffy saw Nami's naked body thanks to Mr. 2 and later in chapter 213 due to her happiness punch, he reacted and got excited. But on the other hand, when Luffy saw Boa Hancock naked it did not affect him in any way. Why was Luffy affected by Nami's body, but not by Hancock's body?

A different reader had the same question and according to Oda, it was all because of Usopp's bad influence. Luffy and Usopp are of the same age, so  when they are together it would be like kids going on a school trip: their bad side comes out!
From SBS of Volume 54, chapter 523:

Reader: Hey, Oda. In volume 53, chapter 518, Hancock's "Mero Mero Mellow" had no effect on Luffy at all, but in volume 23, chapter 213, it looked like he had a reaction to Nami's "Happiness Punch". Why did he respond to Nami's naked body but no to Hancock's? Is Nami's body just that amazing? -Kazu
Oda: Wow, I got a lot of questions about this. Is this what you guys are paying attention to? Don't just read manga all day, go study some more!! Okay? Well, I say that, but I do nothing but draw manga. I noticed this when we were drawing it, but if Luffy had a nosebleed when he saw Hancock's body, I think you would all be like "Ehh!?". That's not the Luffy we know. I believe that Luffy reacted to Nami's naked body twice, in volumes 18 and 23, and both times it happened, Usopp was with him! He's the suspicious one! In other words, when Luffy is alone, his reaction is what it was with Hancock. He's interested, but he's not entranced by her. But when he's with Usopp, who's the same age, it's like a kid on a school trip: his bad side comes out!! Yeah, both sides of Luffy feel right to me, so the culprit is definitely Usopp!!

Yea your answer seems right i guess since it was straight from Oda himself

I think it's because Oda is a fan of Nami himself and somewhere else made mention that Nami is his favorite. (Hell he even Married a Nami from one of the live action Shows in Japan). So I think since Luffy is the main character he reacts to his own Nakama/Friends naked as more of a shock. Where as we know Sanji will just gawk at about any woman, even if they were wearing 90 layers of Parkas and had only one EYE visable LOL.
Boa is the one obsessed with Luffy, and Luffy can't be bothered by her. It'd be much like having a stalker, who is so entranced with you that if they stripped naked in front of you to get your attention, you still would "NOT care". Also with my theory why Nami affected him, think of if you saw your own friend of the opposite gender naked, you'd probably react with shock too. I know I would.

Notice how in the image provided, Luffy and Usopp have the exact same expression on their faces. I'd say it a combination of

Amazement at #2s power,
Shock at seeing his friend in such a way, and
He's just straight up mimicking Usopp in an attempt at a "proper reaction" to the situation.

After all, Luffy tends to be almost sociopathic in reaction when it comes to these kinds of situations. Fighting, food, treasure, and related topics he is all excited over, but girls he is oblivious to...

The reason it is like that is because Boa took it off to show the celestial dragon mark and just tried to kill Luffy, and it would be disrespectful to stare at Boa like that.
On the other hand, Luffy might actually just be impressed with Mr. 2's abilities, and Luffy has been friends with Nami for months and knows her personality.

What would have happened if Brook Died from eating a Second Devil Fruit?
I saw a post about "Creating your own Devil Fruit Powers".. Most OP would be having two abilities. Then I remember that eating Two Devil Fruits = your body to explode.
So.. I was thinking, What would have been the Result if Brook (Alive) would have died by eating a second Devil Fruit? Would his Yomi Yomi no Mi powers activate and revive him and if so, he is a person that was able to eat two devil fruit and live which means, two abilities?

This is only speculation, but if his body exploded, then there would be nothing for the soul to go back to, right? So I suppose the soul would have left for the after life as if Brook would have been killed?

@mod-that-closed-as-duplicate This isn't a duplicate. What OP is asking, is whether a Revive Fruit user would still revive if he had died due to eating 2 fruits.

@PeterRaeves this is essentially asking the same topic answered in multiple other questions, but in a different way. This answer states that he cannot have another fruit and the main power is not "revival." This answer explains the weaknesses of the fruit user eating two fruits.

The fruits can't revive if the body explodes without a trace. Brook's fruit is no exception.

@ʇosɥıuonʞʎonʞo Yes, that's indeed the answer to this question. I agree that an answer can be formed with the answers you linked to, but that doesn't make them the same questions.

From my interpretation of your question I believe that according to what we know about what happens to people who eat two fruits. I will reference a few things as I go about answering your question.
First
The Revive-Revive Fruit that Brook possesses, also called the Yomi Yomi no Mi, is a Paramecia class that can bring the user back to life after death. But later in the series it is declared that the fruit has "further" capabilities and can enable several other things as referenced here. Brook uses these abilities in later episodes after the timeskip. As he found the "true nature of his fruit". Now whether or not that means he awakened his power or not is still up to speculation at this point, but I suspect we will see more at the next arc.
Second
As shown here and here, there are a few special exceptions where a particular person can have more than one fruit, so it is theoretically possible for Brook to have multiple fruits.
Conclusion
Given that most folks can't have more than one Devil Fruit and that Brook's power IS NOT "used up", and referring here I will follow the fact from here:

Myth: When you eat 2 Devil Fruits, the second fruit will replace the first fruit's power.
Fact: Eiichiro Oda stated in one of his SBS that you cannot transfer the fruit's power to another person, if you take one bite of it the fruit becomes normal. This caused fans to think he meant if you eat the second Devil Fruit it will replace the first fruit but in Enies Lobby Arc, Lucci and Blueno said if you eat the second fruit after eating the first one, your body will explode and you will die.
Fact: An exception to the rule stated above is Marshall D. Teach, user of the Yami Yami no Mi fruit, who stole the power of the Gura Gura no Mi fruit through some currently unknown means not related to eating it.

I believe that if Brook ate a second fruit, his body would explode. Upon which the Revive Fruit which is there would try to activate returning his soul to his body, but due to no longer having a body via an explosion his soul would be trapped in the physical world but without a body to be in. Therefore he'd live but without a second ability, body or any method to do anything. He'd be a mass of floating "conscience". That is unless his fruit enables a possession technique of sorts which we have not seen yet. I hope I either answered your question or provided enough to read to help you arrive to a better one.
TLDR Brook would die, revive and not have a body or a second power.

I think it was established that the abilities of Yomi Yomi no Mi will activate only once. So Brook will die if he eats another DF and not come back
Quoting the wikia:

The Yomi Yomi no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which enhances the user's soul to the point where they can come back to life after dying once, remaining alive until their body is sufficiently damaged, and to use several other soul-based abilities, making the user a Reviving Human.

What about before he died the first time, which is what OP is asking? If the Revive fruit had not been activated yet, would it activate if he died due to eating a second devils fruit, or would the second devils fruit negate his revive power when it killed him, meaning he never got revived to begin with.

Can't find the source, but I would agree with @Hikari on the belief that the body would explode. It has never been explicitly stated if the body would be destroyed due to the fruits, just Jyabura's (who I don't consider a source) saying so. Without a body, he would be trapped in the physical realm OR he would die since he can still die if his bod is damage (i.e. bones).

It is a good thinking but it is not how the Yomi Yomi no Mi works. It can bring you soul back to the human world but the sould must find the body. Eating two DF makes you explode so there is nothing left to find. At least the skeleton has du be intact.

Significance of Seagull in Navy flag
In one-piece is there an in-universe reason for the seagull on the navy flag or is there another reason that they chose a seagull for the navy flag?

This is an interesting read, although it's purely speculation

Symbolic meanings of Seagulls

Freedom : Marines believe in absolute justice. They believe they provide true freedom the populace by catching people that put a stop to them. Thus they provide freedom to the general population by protecting them.
Freedom is the most important symbol we have discussed. Luffy says he wants to be Pirate King because Pirate King is the most free person in the world. Throughout One Piece the importance of Freedom is emphasized. Blackbeard's sniper also shot down a Gull on Jaya. Did Oda foreshadow BB pirates will kill the "freedom"?
Adaptation: Seagulls are present on Land, Sea and in Air. They can live in harsh climates on meagre sustenance. They can scavenge off anything. Sounds like the marines we know.
Communication : How many types of Den-Den Mushi do marines have? I've lost count :p
Opportunistic : Marines are highly opportunistic. They rushed ahead with Ace's execution to trap WhiteBeard. They'll use any and all means in their hand to carry out their own sense of justice.
Resourcefulness : Marines are highly resourceful. Smoker, though just a Captain, was able to assist and capture a Shichibukai.

Going through the list, we can easily see the qualities represented by Seagulls and how any Marine would strive them to be. Sengoku must really believe in Freedom to wear that hat though :P
Also additionally... Its Oda's favorite bird!

This is an interview with One Piece author Eiichiro Oda that was published in the One Piece: Blue Grand Data File volume.
  "Q.25 (Tashigi, Kuina, Nojiko and so on are characters with bird names but) What kind of bird do you like best?
  Seagull"

Is the death note 23 days rule inconsistent?
We all know about the 23 day rule. Well. I've been rewatching the series, and I've found something strange in episode 8...
At 4:10 (youtube) Light asks Ryuk if you can use any date, as long it's before the victims lifespan, to which Ryuk replies; yes

My guess is: you can use any date, but the Death Note will kill the target 23 days after the name's been written if the date exceeds the 23 days. If instead you wrote "will die in the year 2345" even though nobody living now could live that long, then the Death Note will probably kill the target within 40 seconds, as usual (or 6 minutes and 40 seconds in case of accident). But that's just my guess.

Related or maybe duplicate? Although the accepted answer (mine) is only based on the rules and should probably be updated to obtain proof from the manga as Ryuk indeed says that "any time" should be possible...

Other related questions about the 23 day rule are this and this

The 23 days rule does not apply to the time of the death but to the time of manipulation. You can manipulate someone e.g. to be a loyal sevant befor s/he dies but all manipulations can't start more than 23 day befor the death. If you give someone a task that takes more than 23 days it counts as impossible and causes a heat attack. But if you write a possible death and a date than it is perfectly fine as long as it is within the normal lief span and you are not too specific about either time or a slow cause of death.

Is Misa Amane's early death a plothole in Death Note?
According to the wiki, when a Shinigami dies, their remaining lifespan is given to the human they saved.

Shinigami who die are reduced to dust, and their remaining lifespan is given to the human they saved.

Since Rem killed L and Watari, she gained their remaining lifespans. Additionally she probably still had some lifespan left. On top of that Misa was already given a lot of lifespan from Gelus (from which she lost 75% again). So does this mean all of this lifespan is transferred to Misa Amane?!
Yet according to her wiki page, she dies in 2011 at the age of 26, only seven years after Rem died.
Does this mean that humans are also capable of reducing their own lifespans? Or would the author have made a mistake by letting Misa die as early as she has? I know she lost 75% of her remaining lifespan through the two eye deals, but you'd think that the cumulation of L, Watari and Rem's remaining lifespans would be greater than just one year, wouldn't you?

It isn't a plothole. There's a rule in the Death Note that specifically covers this.

The use of the Death Note in the human world sometimes affects other human's lives or shortens their original life-span, even though their names are not actually written in the Death Note itself. In these cases, no matter the cause, the god of death sees only the original life-span and not the shortened life-span.

(Source: Volume 8 of the manga)
Short Answer: It doesn't matter how much time Misa gained from the shinigami, or how much she lost from halving her lifespan. Every time someone relevant to your fate is killed by the Death Note, the future changes and your lifespan is recalculated.
Misa was living for the sake of Light. Light was killed by the Death Note. It would have been strange if her recalculated lifespan hadn't been dramatically shorter than before.
The fact she died on Valentine's Day in the year following Light's death strongly suggests she committed suicide because he was dead. This is also shown at the end of the anime.
Longer Answer: The same way killing a murderer with the Death Note can extend the lives of their future victims, killing someone with the Death Note can shorten the lives of their loved ones.
We see both of these examples take place with Misa. Her life had ended with the mugging, but she was indirectly allowed to keep living by the Death Note. Later, she had a long life ahead of her, but the Death Note indirectly gave her a premature death.
The best part of this rule is the last sentence: "In these cases, no matter the cause, the god of death sees only the original lifespan and not the shortened lifespan."
So basically, the lifespans that shinigami see aren't reliably accurate. They can only see the person's original lifespan. If the Death Note indirectly decreases someone's lifespan, that person's visible lifespan won't change.
This rule was most likely created by the author just to help ensure there wouldn't be any plotholes.
Note: This only holds true for the Death Note indirectly shortening people's lives. The user's original lifespan will still visibly decrease if they trade half their lifespan for shinigami eyes (as shown when Rem is reunited with Misa, as she is able to tell that Misa traded half her lifespan again).
The user's lifespan will also visibly increase if the Death Note indirectly lengthens someone's lifespan. Rule LIX states:

A human death caused by the Death Note will indirectly lengthen some other human’s original length of life even without a specific intention to lengthen a particular person’s original life span in the human world.

(Source: Volume 10 of the manga)
The rule about shortened lifespans, rule XLII, is the only rule which states that "in these cases" the shinigami can't see the correct lifespan. There is never any mention of this regarding lengthened lifespans.

"In these cases, the god of death sees only the original lifespan". Are you sure this is canon, because Rem can see Misa's lifespan decrease over the manga multiple times. If death gods only see the original lifespan, then Misa would have minus something by now, because originally she would have died?

Rem only sees Misa's lifespan decrease when she halves it in exchange for the shinigami eyes. That wasn't from use of the Death Note. Also, Misa's lifespan is never negative (nor can anyone's ever be) because the above rule says "in these cases", referring to when a human's original lifespan is indirectly shortened through use of the Death Note. There is a different rule which states that using the Death Note can indirectly lengthen the original lifespan of other humans, and nowhere does it say that "the god of death sees only the original lifespan and not the lengthened lifespan".

Looked through the manga to confirm it's canon, and updated the answer accordingly. Also added some of the information from the previous comment.

Rem indeed said "I know her original lifespan and if she dies before that, I will kill you, Light". But, while I like your answer, it isn't completely answering my original question being "Why did Misa die so early, since she should have gained the accumulated remaining lifespans of Rem, L and Watari?", which I assumed to be more than just 7 years.

Rem did say that, but it was made clear that the shinigami themselves barely know the functionality of the Death Note. They were not told the rules. If Misa had died earlier than her original lifespan while Rem was alive, Rem would have killed Light on the assumption he was responsible, and still never known the mechanics of the Death Note.

I've also updated the answer so the beginning immediately satisfies the question, while the rest provides the supporting information.

I don't think we're told how many years Gelus or Rem had. Ryuk said that Shinigami were lazy and only write names now to extend their life, and doing more than that would be seen as "working too hard".
If we think about it, Shinigami might be sooo lazy that they might only extend their own life when they have very little time left, then find some young person to steal a few decades off from, that said it's possible that Gelus and/or Rem only had a few years left.
Also keep in mind that Rem died preventing Misa's death which L and/or Watari would have been the cause of, one could assume before Rem killed them Misa had little time left given L apparently had hard evidence to convict Misa, L probably could undeniably prove Misa was the second Kira in a week of so and see her incarcerated (possibly solitary confinement), from there she may have been executed or took her own life from being separated from Light, I wouldn't be surprised if that was in the space of a year or 2.
This is on the basis that a Shinigami does not gain any life when preventing someone's death, so L's lifespan was never taken by Rem to then be passed onto Misa. Watari, who I remember dying first, was old so he probably didn't have much time left anyway.

It would actually make sense that L's lifespan doesn't get added to Rem's, but that would mean his remaining lifespan would just vanish. That's rather sad :(

If you look when Misa sees L's lifespan, it is roughly 57 years by the equation on switching from shinigami time to human days/years so she would gain 57 years from L alone. Watari had about a year or two left.
When Rem sees Misa's life span after making the second eye deal it reads 56873.
You divide that by 3556 and that's how many days she has left (just over 15.)
So by the theory that L and Watari's lifespan do not go to Rem, the author would be correct on the timeline.

Sorry, could you clarify why we're dividing by 3556? I'm not sure what that number represents.

Could you add a source, that explain the numbers and how to calculate the age from the lifespan?

I believe Near(N) used the Death note to kill MisaMisa. MisMisa had no knowledge that Light had died, and she doesn't seem like a person that would commit suicide. Near probable wanted to eliminate Misa for just in case, or as a punishment for being the second Kira.

Do u have any proof of this from the manga?

(Comment from a suggested edit) No, Near would be going against what what he said calling someone a murderer for using the notebook. Also, it seems more likely she committed suicide and especially it being on Valentines day, since we all know she loved Light.

Tbh I think it is kind of a plot hole because Rem actually specifies that from Gelus saving Misa her lifespan was extended far beyond a normal human.

Do you have a reference to when Rem said this? A chapter number or something?

Gelus' death was covered in episode 12, at around 18:00. Internet comments on that episode are often along the lines of “that means that she had a lifespan of hundreds of years, so the eye deal didn't matter to her”. But, as far as I can tell, that was never stated.

Has no one considered the possibility that suicide is not a natural cause of death and therefore remaining lifespan is not affected by it? For example, a person that is supposed to die at 60 dies at 20 because of suicide, but at the time of death, their lifespan still reads that they have 40 years left. Or is there a rule in the Death Note pertaining to suicides?

There is no rule that prevents suicide. we can presume Naomi Misora committed suicide due to the stylist way she approached the gallows when light wrote her name and he made it so she would die but be unable to be found. also the short answer suggests Misa committed suicide

Can you manipulate someone with the Death Note, so that the person kills himself with the Death Note?
If I write: John Zeürtö kills himself by writing his name in the Death Note. Would he do so? (In this example, John also owns a Death Note)

maybe, but you'd end up with his name written there twice

Man, you must really hate John Zeürtö, i notice you use his name alot in your questions about the Death Note's functionality

Burn John Zeürtö! Off with his head too.

Can you manipulate someone with the Death Note, so that the person writes his own name in the Death Note?
Yes, you could and that person will do so if he is physically capable of writing a name in a Death Note, but it wouldn't really matter what kind of notebook it would be. Nothing would really happen when he writes his own name, because of How to Use: XV

When the same name is written on more than two Death Notes, the note which was first filled in will take effect, regardless of the time of death.

Can you manipulate John Zeürtö to kill himself by writing his name in the Death Note, by using a Death Note?
No you can't. If you do so, his name would already have been written in the Death Note, so any further name writing, would have no effect, as mentioned earlier. Therefore he wouldn't be able to kill himself. This would lead to How to Use: VI and he would die of a heart attack, since no other cause was specified.

The conditions for death will not be realized unless it is physically possible for that human or it is reasonably assumed to be carried out by that human.

Yeah, it'd just depend on the wording you used. "John Zeurto writes his name in his Death Note, then dies of a heart attack 40 seconds later" would be alright, for example.

Haki vs.Venom Venom Fruit
Knowledge:

Busoushoku Haki:
This Haki can be used as armor against strong attacks or devil powers.

This type of Haki also has the ability to bypass the powers of a Devil
  Fruit user, touching the "substantial body" beneath whatever
  protection the fruit provides, such as the case of body-altering Devil
  Fruits such as Logia or Paramecia users.

Venom Venom Fruit:

The Doku Doku no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants the
  user the ability to produce and control different types of poison
  [...]
  any person who touches the user will be poisoned.

So everything Magellan touches gets poisoned...

So if Luffy could have used haki, would that have prevent him from getting poisoned?

This question makes me think what happen if Haki user coated himself with haki and get attack by devil fruit power like this poison or magma or anything.... Busoushoku Haki more like offensive type rather than defensive

He can touch or attack him without getting poisoned, but I don't know if it makes him immune to Magelan poison attack.

A good place to look seems to be Luffy's use of haki+gear3 on poisonous/concrete making giant gas guy Ceaser.  Were his hands immune due to the haki, the poison immunity, or the oversized hands reverting back to normal? (unfortunately I think it is the last one)

@kaine I don't think the fight between Caesar and Luffy is a good example since the poisonous gas was not part of Caesar, he just manipulated the gas, but technically speaking it wasn't part of his body.

@peterraeves I agree largely in that it was a different situation but as magellan's power is not a logia, the poison isnt part of his body either.

No, Haki wouldn't help him.  It was established that many prisoners knew how to use Haki and that Magellan was the only one capable of keeping them in line.  Furthermore Blackbeard and his crew are potent haki users, he definitely got his butt handed to him only to be saved with the antidote from Shiryu.
Its good to note that while haki lets you hit the body of users, it doesn't negate powers like the sea, or yami yami fruit.  While the Haki user can hit Magellan which was never an issue for Luffy, it poisons anyone who has contact with it.
Similar issues are present with some other paramacia users like Sugar in the Donquixote Pirates where contact with her turns even haki users to toys.

To answer this debate, consider the following scenarios:

Ace's Death
Pica's defeat

Case 1
In the case of Ace as a logia user, why wasn't the admiral burned from punching fire? His power was greater than Ace's power was.
Case 2
How did Zoro actually cut pica with a haki coated sword when pica had both haki armor and devil fruit?
His haki was stronger
In both cases the haki user on the attacking end just so happened to be stronger. In the end I think it comes down to who has more mastery of either the haki or the devil fruit and in Magellan's case with the prison he just so happened to be stronger.
Now this is pretty opinion based but I believe that if Luffy hit Magellan the way he is now Gear 4+ King Kong Gun. Magellan would not be strong enough to protect himself and overpower the negation of Luffy's haki

Where are you getting the information for case 1? Based on my recollections, Akainu's ability to injure Ace did not come from haki. He stated, "Did you think you would be okay because you're made of fire?" which implied that it was merely his logia type powers overpowering Ace's. Presumably it was also his logia powers that kept him from being burned by Ace's fire. The wiki corroborates my memory: http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Sakazuki :"Akainu said that his magma can smother Ace's fire and was thus able to injure Ace despite his Logia intangibility"

You are correct. My memory of that fight is a bit hazy. That fight was pre-time skip and before haki became a real concrete thing. My answer is now editted.

I think that he would've still been poisoned since Haki is an offensive technique and not a defensive one, plus Luffy would still have to hit the main body: like when Luffy couldn't hit Trebol on Dressrosa because he moved his body around inside his snot body

Would the Shinigami eye deal have shortened Light's lifespan?
We know, that if a human makes the Shinigami eye deal, he will lose half of his remaining lifespan. But, let's say Light made the shinigami deal. He might have killed L earlier, thus prolonging his life again. So here is my questions:
Would Light have lived longer, if he would have had the Shinigami eyes?

While I like the question, I voted for closure based on being primarily opinion-based. I don't think clear evidence could be provided for this question. Since I'm quite new to this moderating stuff, forgive me if I was wrong in doing so.

I don't agree that this is opinion based. Sure, it's hypothetical, but that isn't the same thing. Some hypothetical answers are nonetheless answerable with in-universe facts, e.g. http://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/11535/could-i-kill-myself-with-a-death-note. Others (perhaps like this one) have no in-universe answer. In the context of this site, the correct answer is simply to state that there's no way we can know for sure because it wasn't explained. Closing as opinion-based is for questions which are actively seeking opinions, not simply hypothetical ones.

@LoganM even with the information given on the manga there is no way to deduce a right answer out of this, what the OP proposes is already hypothetical, hence people will give him what they think that would happen and again the OP will pick the answer he likes the most or feels its the closest to his own opinion. There is no definitive information on the manga that would with 100% certain say Light would have his life prolonged or even shortened.

@Prix Read what I said again, I already addressed your complaint.

Hypothetically speaking(since that is what it means to give Light the shinigami eyes at an early stage), if you give Light the shinigami eyes, the early he could have killed L, was when they were frequenting the same school/university and at that point L was already highly suspicious of Light to the point of tracking him.
If L were to die there regardless of how, it would trigger L's successors to come in with all the already collected information which again would be focused towards Light with the prediction of not to expose yourself to Light.
There is the fact pointed that Light could not kill without knowing one's name based on L's experiment, but would that be suffice for them to cease investigations at such an early stage which not even L ceased him self?

The thing is Light put everything Mika did into play as the long con, which means he wouldn't have exposed himself like that to L if he had other cards to play.  Lets assume the eyes had no risk to his life. He would have definitely used it without using risky factors like Mika, Takada and Mikami where he was taking risks that they will react and move the way he had planned for them to. L only knew as much as he did about the death note due to his study of Mika.

@Quikstryke from the moment the Shinigami met Light he already knew his lifespan was short, that is probably why he offered the Eyes to make things more interesting. Unless Shinigami eye's cannot predict turn of events which I doubt.

There is no proof he knew his life span was short. Ryuk never alluded to this in the manga/anime so that would be speculation.  Also they cannot predict events which was the whole reason Ryuk did what he did as that was his entertainment.  He wanted to see how far light can go.  He also tells light he just randomly dropped the book, he didn't know who was going to pick it up.

@Quikstryke not Ryuk predicting future but the calculation of the lifespan and Light was pretty much identified before he could have facial information of L to assimilate with which at that point would be meaningless giving the successors available.

Light was identified as a potential suspect without any evidence.  When L first met him he was under the impression the only way he can die is if light had a name so for him to meet light then die right away when light according to L didnt know his name, would have proved that light was innocent in the eyes of the other investigators.  They would moved on in the investigation. Furthermore Light could kill by other means than a heart attack.  He could have ensured L got depressed or went insane before dieing casting doubt on the validity of his investigation.

@Quikstryke At the moment they met, his life course was already decided by L's successors regardless of him having the eyes or not. It would have only moved things fast forward as it was. The rational course to make L's not suspect of Light would have been for L to survive and not getting killed so he could move towards a new target as being the supposed Kira. We could argue this all day long if you don't provide any factual evidence that backup your ideas it will be as much as an assumption as mine and it will come down in the end to people's opinion of what they believe to be.

As mentioned his successors were only successful due to his actions, this was acknowledged by them.  They wouldn't have known about the notebook or Mika which are major factors for their win.

@Quikstryke and what makes you think they would not investigate L's death? What makes you think they would not come down to the same conclusion? What makes you think they could not re-investigate the case and get to the same culprit? You are overlooking a lot of facts and again not providing any factual evidence. Just because they do not know of the existence of the death note does not make it impossible for then to re-investigate the case. The exception here is that they would not do the same course of action L did as to bring the culprit under the same roof.

What facts are there for what you are saying? It is also conjecture.  The facts are the evidence that was already collected by L.  If L died early, then whether they have the ability to recollect those facts are up in the air, but it was established L was a better detective than Near and Mello and Light beat L.

@Quikstryke facts, you can post manga images or anything that refutes the information I've provided until then it seems to be those are 2 opinion-based answers with baseless grounds.

The page is going to a pain to find will post later with it if you still need it unless someone else can weigh in.  It also explicitly states it in the wikia (under plot). http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Near

@Quikstryke also the earliest he could have killed L was when L already had high suspects of him and were sharing the same University or w/e, if he were to die there, that information would have been passed down to L's successors as well. That would most likely keep tracking of what he does without Light knowing there was a successors taking place. Don't forget we are talking about an hypothetical event of L dying early and all my facts are going towards that, against the early events of the manga, Misa was not yet met and one would the successors would come in.

Well assuming Light had a long life ahead of him (no health issues) the answer is an obvious yes knowing the chain of events we know.
You're probably asking if Near/Mello would have caught him anyway, but it was already established Near only won due to the combined help he got from L's investigation and Mello's actions. Light was the better intellect (plus in your scenario he has his eyes).
But of course no way for Light to know this and he assumed he can beat anything that gets thrown at him.  Probably rightfully so, as the Mikami zealousness/sloppiness caused the downfall at the end, not Light's plan.

Death Note 23 Day rule?
Okay, first read this rule:

In the Death Note, you cannot set the death date longer than the victim’s original life span. Even if the victim’s death is set in the Death Note beyond his/her original life span, the victim will die before the set time.

So that means if you wrote something like John zeurtö dies peacefully in the year 2315, that wouldn't work because this date is beyond his lifespan. But that would mean, if you wrote a date thats within his actual lifespan, that would work.
But now, there's this 23 day rule.

The Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule.

So, could the first example work?

If his original lifespan ends at or after 2315, then it should be fine - the rules here aren't inconsistent.

Isn't the 23 days rule something Light wrote to trick some one and not something the Ryuk wrote?

Fake rules: 1) If the owner of the Death Note does not write a name in it for 13 days, he or she will die.
2) If the Death Note is burned or destroyed, all who have touched it will die.  They were written to trick L. the 23 days is a "real" rule.

Related: http://anime.stackexchange.com/a/11514/274

Basically John will die at a given moment, which is...

...before his original lifespan would have ended (Because of How to Use: LVII)

In the Death Note, you cannot set the death date longer than the victim's original life span. Even if the victim's death is set in the Death Note beyond his/her original life span, the victim will die before the set time.

...within 23 days of writing, because a specific time of death was written (Because of How to Use: XXVII, rule number 2)

If you write, die of disease for the cause of death, but only write a specific time of death without the actual name of disease, the human will die from an adequate disease. But the Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule.

In our case that would be dying peacefully instead of disease, because the actual way John is supposed to die is not specified. He could die in a coma, could die after being drugged or by sexual exhaustion as mentioned in kaine's answer.

...after 6 minutes and 40 seconds if none of those 23 days were in the year 2315 or if it wasn't possible for John to die peacefully within those 23 days due to war for example (Because of How to Use: XI, rule number 3)

As you see above, the time and conditions of death can be changed, but once the victim's name has been written, the individual's death can never be avoided.

Therefore, if you write John zeurtö dies peacefully in the year 2315 one of the following will happen.

2315 is after his original lifespan; John will die as he normally would have.
2315 is after 23 days of writing; John will die of a heart attack after 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
2315 is before 23 days of writing, but it is impossible for John to die peacefully; He will die of a heart attack after 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
2315 is before 23 days of writing and it is possible to die peacefully; He will die peacefully within those days on the most probable date.

Now if you would have written "John dies peacefully of sexual exhaustion", without mentioning a specific time, then he might have died later than those 23 days, if it was still within his original lifespan (Because of How to Use: XXVIII, rule number 1)

If you write die of disease like before with a specific disease's name, but without a specific time, if it takes more than 24 days for the human to die the 23 day rule will not take effect and the human will die at an adequate time depending on the disease.

@user6399 Why did you change your mind and unaccepted this answer? Was anything incorrect?

what do you mean with unnaccepted?

@user6399 A&M told me you had 10 hours ago, that's why I asked.

The rules together means the following.
Assume I am dying of a fatal disease and expected to die in 14 days. If I would write that I would die of sexual exhaustion in 21 days, I would still die of the original disease in 14 days before the book can come into effect assuming the cause of death is reasonable.
If I put that someone will die in 24 days of "insert horrific image here", it will not occur as stated.  When I remember that rule tommorrow and write that you will die of the same thing on that date... well... it will not be fun to be you.  If you want to avoid that after reading the death note, I guess you can kill yourself and the deathnote will not stop you as that is the end of your normal lifespan.  Note: you should have brought a pen so you can edit the entry.  That works.

so it would work right?

2hat specifically are you asking it it would work? You cant say John will due in 2315 or anything.

But if i would write a death date, thats not beyond his lifespan, it would work?

I'd within 23 days and does not contradict any other rules.  There are over 100.

The way I interpret this, the "23 day rule" refers only to when you write a disease or "disease" as the cause of death with a specified time and no specified disease. It is basically saying that the specified time must be within 23 days of being written (perhaps something to do with the lunar cycle?) if you are writing disease as the cause of death.

You'd be interpreting it wrong. It applies when I write any cause of death except if the cause takes longer than 23 days to kill you because i wrote "death from disease". You cant die from brain cancer in 23days so you will get brain cancer within 23days whether you know it or not and die of it in a reasonable time (a couple of years).

so you could write dies from bradykardie and the person would die from this disease?

There are other questions about that in this site but yes if he wont die of something else first, it was already possible, and it doesnt contradict otger rules. You cannot specify when he dies if brady if it is after 23 days. Look up the death note rules.

people with bradykardie can have long lives. The victim will live much longer than 23 days.^^

If they would already die normally from cancer in 5 years and brady takes 10, they will still die from the cancer in 5. It can't extend their lives as I keep saying. But yes, it could have an effect a long time out via this.

well bradykardie takes longer than 10 years. but yes, i know that the death note cant extend the life of a person.^^

if you put that you will die in 24 days it will not occur. Where did you read that nothing would happen? I would think he would die within (6 minutes) and 40 seconds. Because once the name is written in the book, he will die according to XI.

Likely you are right on that (interpretation of deathnote wont work) but I dont remember any examples anyways. Editted accordingly.

Like I pointed out here, the 23 days rule does not work that way. If the time of death is later than the natural one, the natural death will happen. If the time of death is before the natural one, it will either be a heart attack or the specified death.
The death note works for every time of death between the moment of entry and the natural time of death. The 23 days rule just specifies that one can't manipulate the victims for more than 23 days before their death including giving the victim a specified disease that takes more than 23 days to kill the victim.

Is the Ship Spirit (klabautermann) based on any real legend?
In One Piece Chapter 254, Usopp saw someone that fix Going Merry, later in chapter 351, Franky told him that it actually a manifestation of a ship's soul.

Is this based on any real legend?

Yes it is, Klabautermann in One Piece world described as a marine holding an hammer, the real story about Klabautermann is a small sailor in yellow with a tobacco pipe and woolen sailor's cap, and often wearing a caulking hammer. (source)

Klabautermann from German folklore (left) and Klabautermann from One Piece world (right)

A Klabautermann often assists sailors and fishermen on the Baltic and North Sea in their duties, and he is known to be an expert of understanding most watercraft.

When Usopp first meeting with Klabautermann, he was fixing Going Merry and revert it to its original shape, not to the flying model when Going Merry got damaged.

Despite the positive attributes, there is one omen associated with his presence: no member of a ship blessed by his presence shall ever set eyes on him. He only ever becomes visible to the crew of a doomed ship.

Usopp saw Merry's spirit when it was already heavily damage, and the boat was beyond repair.

Soon enough, the boat sinking, and the spirit say goodbye to Luffy's crew.

Did Rogue and Gajeel ever meet before the Tournament?
In chapter 318, Gajeel mentions Rogue's real name, R(e)yos.

So what's the deal between them? I thought Rogue only adored/feared Gajeel from the shadows (pun not intended). So how did he know his real name?

I think we did not get any more information about them so far, so you'll have to wait until they give us more. I find it unlikely to happen though.

In episode 13 of Fairy Tail (2014) Gajeel implies that he was a mentor to Rogue. The fact that he knew the name Reyos proves that Gajeel knew about him while in Phantom Lord. Gajeel says that Rogue was his disciple. According to the Fairy Tail wiki, Rogue is also Gajeels sworn younger brother but the wiki doesn't say how it got this info about the brother.
From the wiki:

At some point in time, Gajeel joined Phantom Lord. During his time in Phantom Lord, a young man named Rogue Cheney, known as Ryos, was Gajeel's sworn younger brother.

Could you provide a source reference to where in the wiki you read this?

http://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/Gajeel_Redfox     It's in the history section.

This could possibly be so due to Gajeels ability to absorb Rouge's shadows. If Rouge was his disciple/brother, he was around he for an amount of time where he adapted to his magic.

I think Rouge is Gajeel's younger brother since there is no other explanation I can think of. As we all know, when Gajeel was in Phantom Lord, he was feared so much. Therefore, he is respected but never admired.
It seems that Gajeel knows Rouge's real name since they were brothers and this would explain why Rouge respects Gajeel so much. Even Gajeel says that he is his disciple since they were brothers but with Gajeel as the older sibling and with Rouge as the younger sibling in the family.


text:
Could I kill myself with a Death Note?

On the bottom left paragraph, it reads:

You will not die if you write your own name in here, but it's not recommended.

This page is taken from the pilot chapter of Death Note. Would the manga pilot be considered canon? And thus, would I be able to kill myself with the Death Note or not?

I can barely read it, also what exactly are you asking? I might upload a better quality picture but at the moment I have no idea what you mean.

I am not sure what you mean by "can I kill myself (yourself) with the Death Note". 2. I have no idea what you mean by "does it count" because the info you have circled around in red makes no sense for anyone to even ask a question like does it count.

Are you asking if there is an inconsistency with this statement and the idea that one can hypothetically commit suicide by writing one's own name down?

I think the image has been taken from here, the OP is asking about the rule just above the bottom red box of the left. of cause this question has practically been answered in the link @Maroon posted

@アズーサ He is asking whether you can commit suicide with the Death Note, because it looks like you can in the original manga volumes, while in the picture (taken from the manga pilot) it clearly states you cannot do so. That's why he asked whether it would still count as canon.

@PeterRaeves- So that's what he's asking. I think I am ready to remove my close vote now.

@アズーサ I edited the question to (hopefully) make it more clear what OP was trying to ask. Also gave him +1, because personally this made me read the pilot, which I didn't know existed yet. Lets see what the rest of the community thinks about this.

@PeterRaeves- I approved your edit. The only thing I am worried about is that what the OP circled in the original is not circled in the new one but I think the edit is okay.

@アズーサ as i pointed out in my comment the image was most likely taken from the answer i linked to, what was circled was talking about the page limits of the death note while the OP was talking about the comment about writing one's name which is assumed from the question title and Madara's edit

quality and image dimensions matched too

As mentioned by Maroon, OP's question would possibly contradict the answer at  Can a person shorten their own life by using the Death Note?
So before answering OP's question, lets first see what we know about the effect of writing your own name in the Death Note.

In the manga pilot, there is a rule that says:

You will not die if you write your own name in the Death Note, but it is not recommended.

In the movie The Last Name, we see L die from writing his own name in the Death Note:

Later it is revealed that L did not die and avoided death by writing his name in the notebook stating, "L Lawliet will die 23 days from this date".
The film ends 23 days later, with L dying peacefully.

In the one shot special, we read that the C-killer dies from writing his own name:

This resulted in C-Kira writing his own name in the Death Note.

Looking at the available evidence, it would indeed seem like a possible contradiction (although Miura-kun was about to try and commit suicide in the manga pilot and there is no evidence he wouldn't have died). Therefore, in order to correctly reply to OP's question I checked what should be considered canon according to the Death Note wiki. Since the only three sources considered as canon are the twelve original manga volumes, Death Note 13: How to Read, and the Death Note One-Shot-Special, it would seem that you can indeed commit suicide by using the Death Note as seen in the One-Shot-Special, when the C-killer couldn't handle the pressure and committed suicide.

If you use Raye Penber's episode as a case study, you can write your own name down in someone else's Death Note and thereby kill yourself.

@Paul Rowe, Raye didnt write his own name though. Light did.

I was looking at it and, yes, Raye didn't write his own name down. I expect he could have and it would have worked, though...

@PaulRowe That's the thing. We all expect it to work, but as long as we don't have proof it does, it can't be considered as confirmed.

I think I write into the death note "I die by lich transformation."

From Death Note 13: How to Read, How to Use V:

A person can shorten his/her own life by using the note.

So, you may indeed shorten your own life.

Why did Vegeta never reach Super Saiyajin 3?
Further details:

Gohan also did not reach it.
Goku was able to do it for a short time once, and later a long time.
Gotenks did it but for a short time.

I suspect the answer to this is the same answer to "Why the Female Sayans can't become SUper Sayans?".

I suppose is a similar mystery, reminds me of Pan.

To answer why both Goku and Gotenks stayed in that form a short time is because of the overwhelming amount of energy that form offers, if not used to it just drains your energy away too fast to maintain. With training the time might be lengthened like when Goku and Gohan were walking around in SSJ form to get used to it.

There are actually a lot of ideas about that, and one is that Goku spent a long time training in the heavens, where power is limitless and that is said to have greatly strengthened him. Vegeta on the other hand, never had that chance. As a note, Vegeta did reach Super Saiyajin 4 after gaining power from one of Bulma's machines, then he fused with Goku to beat the One-Star Dragon.

As an additional note to the accepted answer, Gotenks was able to reach SSJ3 only because the fusion dramatically increased his power.
Gohan never reached it because he had the Old Kai awake his sleeping powers (Mystical Gohan form) which made his power comparable to a SSJ3.

Super Saiyajin 3 transformation takes in a lot of energy. And to perfect that form, Goku needed to work on his stamina, which he did when he was at King Kai's planet.
Prior to fighting Kid Buu, he had not perfected the form. Infact, that form was even hidden from Vegeta, because Vegeta had no clue that there was a possibility of moving beyond the Super Saiyajin 2 level. In case you remember, when fighting Kid Buu, Goku tried recharging himself in the Super Saiyajin 3 form, when Vegeta was the bait, but he failed to restore his strength, unlike what he expected.
Likewise, while fighting Beerus, his energy was not even close to that of the God of Destruction. I think , the SSJ 3 form is a form that requires extremely high energy surge. As for Gotenks, SSJ3 was possible, because of the combined strength of Goten and Trunks.
As for Vegeta, well, even though he is the Prince of all Saiyans, he lacks the potential to power up to that level. And he lacks training, unlike Goku, we can never stop himself from continuing to train and fight.
Half saiyans have the potential to reach SSJ3, however, Toriyama hasn't focussed much on the SSJ3 transformation part. And there ain't no discrete logic to support the transformation as such.

Can you extend your own life with the death note?
How to Use: LVIII

By manipulating the death of a human that has influence over another human’s life, that human’s original life span can sometimes be lengthened.

which means you can use the note to extend your lifespan in the example i gave:
have some one get the shinigami eyes by giving them your death note and have them write down your life span then give back owner ship of the death note to you again (use the note to manipulate them into doing so) for example lets say you die 1st arpril 2009 at 1pm
next find some one who will out live you, you could use the person who you manipulated into finding your life span we'll call this person mr.X
write down your own name and have the cause stabbed by mr.X after calling him fat at 1st april 2009 at 1pm
next write down mr.X's name in the death note and the cause of death is a heart attack just before stabbing some one on the streert who called him fat on 1st april 2009 at 12:58pm
now if this would work you should get his remaining life span. Would this work?

I believe you can extend someone's life by 23 days. If someone were going to die on April 1st, but someone wrote in the death note, "will die on April 23rd," that should extend the natural life span of the victim.

-1 while this answer may be correct to other scenarios however in regards this question and what it detailed in the body this answer is incorrect. the question poses that Mr. X is killed before killing the death note owner which means Madara's second point comes into play

No, because of several things:

A human with the Shinigami Eyes cannot see the lifespan of other Death Note owners. (How to Use: XVIII)
If you write your name and a cause that cannot be possible (being stabbed by a dead man), you will die of a heart attack. (How to Use: LV)
Writing your own name in the death note bypasses all lifespan calculations. If you wrote that you die at a certain date, you will die at a certain date, regardless of how much lifespan you have remaining.

you could do the same as yagami did, when he gave up ownership so that his father could see his lifespan. Also can't you change the cause/time of death before the victim dies? @Madara Uchiha ♦

The third bullet point, isn't there a time limit of 24 days on the death?

@Mindwin what kind of time limit?

XXVII: But the Death Note can only operate within 23 days (in the human calendar). This is called the 23 day rule.

but what has the 23 day rule to do with my question?

could it work if you changed the Mr.X in the description to some one, and make sure no one else is around? @Madara Uchiha♦

I don't recall which rule it is but once a name and cause are in the note it is impossible to change it in anyway either by erasing the name or writing an earlier time for it

Who are Rogue and Sting and when were they first revealed?
My friend is really into Fairy Tail and I watched a really good fight from it with Rogue and Sting vs Natsu and Gajeel. But he said that he didn't know who Rogue and Sting were. So I was wondering who they are and when they first showed up.

Rogue and Sting are members of the Sabertooth guild. They make their debut at the start of the Grand Magic Games arc, in anime episode 151 (Title: Sabertooth) and manga chapter 258 (Title: Sabertooth). Rogue is a Shadow Dragon Slayer, while Sting is a Light Dragon Slayer.

Dragon Ball Super release date
I'm sure you've heard the news about the new Dragon Ball series Dragon Ball Super, made by Akira Toriyama.
I've read about it and the release date is in June or July (can't remember).
We're talking about manga, right or brand new episodes?
If it's just the manga, is it already known when we can expect brand new Dragon Ball episodes?

Dragonball Super will be animated rather than a manga version and released on July 5th, 2015 in Japan
Source: http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/rumor-dragon-ball-super-go-long-100-episodes/

Toei Animation have announced that they will indeed make a manga for the upcoming Dragon Ball anime series, "Dragon Ball Super", with the Dragon Ball creator, and author Akira Toriyama and the Dragon Ball: Heroes Victory Mission author, Toyotoro. Now we see if they can deliver for us that we really want to see, that Dragon Ball GT did not deliver to the Dragon Ball fans. We may see the other 12 gods that Beerus mentioned in the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods film, Uub, Gohan's coming back to training, a first ever Female Super Saiyan, new villains, and a lot more that we wanted to experience it, and fun epic adventures too. Just like the original Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball Z.

Why will Fairy Tail have 4 consecutive weeks of double chapters?
Lately, Mashima has been giving us a lot of double chapters. He will reportedly have double chapters for four consecutive weeks (starting week of April 22, 2015 with chapter 429). At first, I thought it was related to Golden Week, but that does not last four weeks. Does anyone know why we are getting four double chapters?

"And does this mean, we will have a long hiatus to compensate after?" This is unanswerable, unless Mashima or someone associated with Weekly Shonen Magazine officially announces their future plans.

I think this is mainly a marketing tactic, meant to attract more readers to buy copies of the Weekly Shonen Magazine1. When the magazine's copies hit the bookstore, a front cover caption Fairy Tail! Double Chapter inside!! ... and next 3 weeks too!!! (or something on those lines) will draw the buyer's attention, and would likely lead to an increase in sales.
Regular readers would buy the magazine no matter what, but the tactic is mainly aimed at two categories of prospective buyers:

New buyers, that is, people who have never bought (or perhaps, even heard of) the magazine before.
Buyers who are unsure if they should buy the magazine.

People are made to believe that they are getting something "extra", which often leads to making a buy decision. This, by the way, is not much different from the "Buy One, Get One Free" offers. It is also quite common for popular TV shows to have "2-hour specials" every once in a while, which is also based on the same "principle" (if you will).
Moreover, announcing 4 consecutive editions with double chapters increases likelihood of repeat business. People look forward to buying the next 3 issues as well. Buying 4 consecutive issues will lead to at least a sizeable number of readers "latch on" to the magazine, who would naturally choose to continue buying later issues as well.
As for why Fairy Tail gets double chapters so often (as against other mangas), I think it mostly comes down to "because he is Erza Mashima!!" To elaborate, Mashima (and his assistants?) are able to spend more time and/or effort on their manga and can submit two chapters in a week, whereas most other mangakas may not be able to do so due to personal commitments or other reasons. As an aside, he published triple chapters of Fairy Tail for two consecutive weeks a year or so ago. (Chapters 338-340 and 341-343, IIRC)

1 Weekly Shonen Magazine is different from Weekly Shonen Jump.

Did Luffy kill Bellamy when he punched him at Jaya?
In episode 151 where Bellamy uses Spring Hopper at Jaya and launches around the buildings, Luffy punches him. But does he kill him or just knock him out ?

For the less informed, which episode are you referring to?

I think it was the middle-end part of episode 151

Aceept the answer if you feel its satisfying your question

I specified the question, because... well you will find out if you are anime-only

No, Belammy is alive.
In the pre-Skyisland arc when Luffy goes to retrieve the gold from him, he just knocks him down and doesn't kill him.
The proof:-

In the CP9 saga, it is shown that Doflamingo was forcing Bellamy to fight.
Next is the Pirate Alliance Arc.

Bellamy entered the Corrida Colosseum to compete for a leadership
  position in the Donquixote Family and was assigned to Block B. He is
  first seen somewhere in the Colosseum crushing someone's skull.

Belammy vs Abdullah and Jeet.
These are just two of a few events that prove that Bellamy wasn't killed by Luffy. There has been some more events with appearance of Bellamy. Luffy hasnt really killed anyone in the whole series except for a few Sea Kings :P

If u need any more events as proof then do check out the wiki.

What did Team Rocket use to evolve Rhyhorn?
In the Pokemon Adventures manga, Koga used some kind of item (like a syringe) on his Rhyhorn:

The strange part is that the Rhyhorn suddenly evolved into a Rhydon, in the middle of the fight:

Red confirmed this:

I didn't understand how it would be possible to make Rhyhorn to evolve like this, because Rhyhorn is not the kind of Pokemon that could be evolved by stones.
So what did Team rocket use? Does this item appear again in the manga and did someone explain it better? Or does it even exist in the TV series?

I'd like to know how he got that syringe in to the rhyhorn.

@Krazer♦ That's a good question

Maybe it was a ton of liquid Rare Candies

No reliable site lists what that syringe is (or could be) and it never appeared again. Misty asumes that an other of these syringes was used to evolve a gyarados (seen earlier).
Team Rocket tried to create ways to force an evolution (like the experiments at the lake of rage), so it's most likely another experiment to force the evolution of a pokémon and to make it stronger.

Why strike stones taken from inside a pot against each other?
In Episode 10 of Uchouten Kazoku (5:34), I saw Shimogamo Mother taking two stones from a pot, and striking them against each other before Shimogamo Yaichirou went out.

What does it mean? Is it some kind of supernatural belief?

In Japanese folklore, creating sparks by striking flint is considered to be lucky for someone leaving a house or group. The brief fire was once a way to drive evil spirits away. I found a reference to it being called kiribi, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information on it.
Considering where Yaichiro is going as he leaves, it would be logical for a mother to wish her son good luck and to drive away evil from his path.

This ritual is not common anymore, but given the spiritual nature of Uchouten Kazoku, it makes perfect sense.
