Is Basil stronger than Sanji?

Everyone important to him is dead so he won't have any surprise family visits or anything. The only thing I could see happening is something with Mihawk but, since Mihawk is just a teacher, it would be "MUST GET STRONGER" stuff...

Fuck Zoro. Oda ruined him. Zoro started out as a demon who would do anything to reach his goal and fulfill his promise. Though he was loyal to Luffy and liked him, he wouldn't have hesitated to cut Luffy down for the sake of becoming the greatest swordsman.

But by the time of Thriller Bark and beyond, Zoro became a generic

> I'LL GLADLY GIVE MUH LIFE FOR MUH NAKAMA

shounen stock character. Zoro will never have an arc like this, because Zoro doesn't have a character. He's been reduced to one-dimension.

Zoro arc is next and it's going to be fantastic.

God damn this SaNafag is annoying. He spams every thread.

Literally worse than the Monetfag.

Does anyone else realize that this is bege's best chance to steal a poneglyph? And not just a running but the poneglyph itself, by shoving it into his body. If he actually accomplishes it then he'll be the second closest supernova to being pirate king (1st being luffy) Furthermore, supernova who's closest to finding one piece ranking
1. Monkey D Luffy (zou road poneglyph and big mamu poneglyph)
2. Trafalgar D Water Law (zou road poneglyph)
3. Drake barrels (why would he betray the marines, people who helped him if he didn't want to find one piece??? You think he just became a pirate to rape and pillage???)
4. Capone bege (boutta steal her poneglyph)
5. Scratchmen Apoo (see below)
6. Urouge(already trying to sneak onto territories and beating up there commanders for some poneglyphs)
7.hawkins (MIA????)
8. Jewellery Bonney (I honestly don't know)
9. Eustass kidd (he originally was pretty high up in my list with his alliances and shit, but now that he's getting raped on the regular, he'll be plucky if he can even be seen as a man by his crew. Furthermore, the man has lost an arm and has a scar. I don't think he's ready for the new world)

>>153648335
He's still a "bad guy" in the context of that page.

His whole hesitation wasn't that Luffy would get in the way of his goals it's that he would have to become a pirate after years of hunting pirates to make a name for himself while staying within the law.

>What kind of arc could zoro get in the future aside from generic "MUST GET STRONGER" stuff?
Make it so Luffy's quest interferes with or makes his own dream impossible. Zoro is the most loyal member, so a bit of doubt and introspection would do his character good.

>>153648260

But we still don't know anything about Zoro's past. Unless he literally just spawned in front of the dojo with a wooden sword in his hand he must have come from SOMEwhere.

Though since we've not had any hints about it thus far, it might mean his origins are simply too mundane to go into.

Still, Tashigi must exist for a reason, so maybe there's still something to find out.

That girl from his past (whatever her name was) died because she 'fell down some stairs'? Yeah, okay.

>>153648431

Second closest is still too far away.

Few outside of Zou or Wano one of the Road Poneglyphs is on Zou's back, and of those in the New World, only Buggy and Shanks probably know where the fourth stone is hidden.

Really, Luffy is pretty much the only person with a decent shot at reaching Raftel, unless someone literally just stumbles across the last stone.

For all we know, Shanks (or Roger) made a copy of the Poneglyph, and then dropped the stone into the sea so NOBODY could find Raftel unless he let them.

Well Whitebeard never went to Raftel, so he's just taking Roger's word for it. I don't think Luffy would think much of it.

I dunno, I like how mundane Zoro's origins are compared to everyone else. That he could get so far (and we've got to assume eventually reach the top) just because of a promise he made to Kuina whilst carrying her sword is a nice enough story as is.

Maybe we need an explanation for his gag, though. We had Duval, but I guess it could be fun to discover whether Zoro's bad sense of direction is actually a curse or something.

Well he showed up at the dojo because he didn't have a family for whatever reason. I guess that can be looked into.
Maybe kaido somehow killed his parents when he was a babby and he doesn't find out until he meets him?

>>153649147

>>153649182
Because women are physically inferior to men, so it's stupid to make a promise to compete with a woman like that in the first place, so becoming the best in her place or whatever doesn't make sense because she would never be the best.

Tashigi is a dull character too. Diving more into all that just doesn't seem interesting to me.

>>153649150

Actually you might be right. We're absolutely gonna get Wano reacting to him carrying around Shusui considering that Kin'emon already called him on it, but it's not too much of a stretch that someone might think he's descended from Ryuma considering the resemblance.

>>153649147
Luffy's dream is to essentially be the king of criminals.
Nami wants to map the world by sailing in a line around the equator.
Franky wants to build a nice boat.
Sanji wants to find a bunch of fucking fish.
Usopp wants to ride the coat tails of everyone else and pretend he did something to show off to his dad.

Etc etc etc

They're all retarded.
That's part of the fun.

>>153646758
If Oda wanted to write believably, then pretty much everyone in the Revos should be on their way to learning Poneglyphs. Historians are all about sharing knowledge and forwarding human understanding, and especially in One Piece the discipline of History(+Archaeology) has been presented as an unjustly forbidden knowledge. Robin should be wanting to teach her stuff to literally everyone who gives the slightest shit, yet the manga never presents it like that despite it being the most obvious and natural thing ever.

It's because he's going to be relevant to the plot later. How far out we don't know but I'm assuming it's gonna be when Pluton will be used is Alabasta.

I wonder if Zoro will even have a deeply personal arc like Sanji's having right now. I mean it could just be that something about Wano makes him get more invested than usual, maybe much more invested than usual, sort of like what Luffy feels every arc when baddie abuses poor innocent friend. But it might not involve personal journey of character development.

Zoro's kinda hard to write without adding a completely new dimension to his character that wouldn't have been there before.

I feel like Oda wrote himself into a wall with Zoro with his declaration that he will never lose again coupled with two years of training with the greatest swordsman in the world, someone who thought Shanks was too weak to duel.

>>153650944

It would've been more interesting to pair Zoro up with Diamante at Dressrosa.
Especially since Diamante seems to be an underhanded character who also uses "wavy" trick moves to swordfight.
It would make it more difficult to clash swords and connect hits.

Instead we got Zoro dicing up rocks for like 10+ chapters and then a mandatory "my haki is stronger than yours" crap.

>>153648335
>there's actually people with opinions this bad that somehow think Zoro's near-sacrifice on Thriller Bark wasn't a master piece in itself

>>153651296
But the whole thing was that the Dofla family were weakass shitters, at least compared to the SHs... Zoro would've destroyed someone like Diamante in 5 seconds, Pica at least made it, precisely, into something that he couldn't just bruteforce his way through. The finisher stuff with the Haki was eh, but the bulk of the fight wasn't about that really.

>>153651451

I don't like any variant of the "it's shit on purpose" as an explanation why something is shit.

>>153651277
I'm still clinging to my idea that it will be BB+Revos, Baltigo was a ruse. Dragon shouldn't be a goody good guy, some greyness to him by allying with someone as reckless as BB would be cool. Besides, if Kuzan was okay with it, then surely there must be some redeeming/nuancing factor about it

>>153651451

Zoro vs Pica is one of the least interesting fights in the entirety of the manga.

>>153651489
I didn't say it was shit on purpose, I said the exact opposite, Pica's ability was much better used to give Zoro something interesting to do. Diamante would just be weak-ass generic stuff for a Zoro fight, and he would still have been way too strong for it to feel like a real challenge.

>>153651548
It's better than the other fights Zoro has gotten post-TS where he is just a fucking joyless cool quip drone; even if it isn't really that good overall.

>>153651451
>into something that he couldn't just bruteforce
What? Pica fight was the definition of bruteforcing. He literally just kept cutting him until Pica had nowhere left to go.

>>153651548
It's because Oda wrote Zoro to the point that he's past the level of fighting grunts. Although hopefully, he'll get some decent fights soon with the caliber of opponents Luffy has been picking fights with.

>>153651548
That's what happens when you're stuck fighting shitters

>>153651632
Not really, Pica outsmarted him and led him to the outskirts of the town, and Zoro had to figure out a way to get back and beat him before he destroyed the plateau where basically every important character besides Luffy and Law were standing. The whole using the cannonball throw to go flying and seeing where he went after he cut the rock (because he figured out how the power worked beforehand) is more substance in terms of action than any other post-TS Zoro fight can provide, and at least it shows him in a different mode besides "heh, nothin personnel".

The problem with the fight is that in the end it's not really that interesting or anything, and that like basically everything Dresrossa it was butchered and spread across I dunno, 30 fucking chapters or whatever

>>153651800
You've nailed exactly the problem of post-TS Zoro, while Luffy fights world renowned opponents in the arcs, Zoro has been getting their shitter grunts. Of course he's going to one-shot or trivialize them.

>>153651922
Or Skypeia where Luffy tries to run of a beanstalk about 20 times.

>>153651990
Luffy always gets the final boss. That's his shtick.

>>153651990
And that boils down more to a problem with Dresrossa specifically, since it's the only arc so far since the TS where we were supposed to believe the SHs were equally matched. Fishman Island and Punk Hazard are shit-tier from the start and any complication came from shenanigans. Now in WCI, where there are foes who should actually be strong to give trouble to the SHs, Zoro isn't there but at least Sanji will get a proper fight I hope. It all comes down to what happens in Wano, a lot of the manga is hinging on that

>>153652076
I know it was to give the non-Dressrosa Straw Hats their turn in the spotlight and that Chopper himself has stated it pretty much, but it was idiotic not to bring Zoro to a Yonkou's territory.

>>153652242

>>153648038
zoro's arc if he gets one should just be him fighting every fucking samurai in wano and them acknowledging him. Thats it, just non stop sword fights until the whole country is behind him.

Zoro will fight and beat Kaidou.

Zoro will get lost in Wano, wander into Kaidou's quarters and they will share a good drink.

>Lets hope Oda doesn't give Zoro an arc like this.

You mean when he faced Mihawk for the first time and cried like a bitch because he lost to a dagger?

Then later down the line. As Zoro degraded himself to Mihawk so he can get stronger?

If anything Zoro's Arc will probably be about how much all that shit made him go nuclear.

Sanji is just being a little bitch because he ended up in some faggot land and got faggot blood in his system.

This arc is fucking gay. Luffy is the worst character in One Piece and the entire arc is mostly about him and these side characters that I give no fucks about are getting the bulk of the screen time. It feels even more weighed down by the fact that after this arc is over, the entire side cast is going to disappear like they always do only to reappear many years later on as a wink and a nod, causing you all to praise Oda's genius for remembering that they existed at all.

He's the worst because his only thing is doing retarded for comedic effect and NAKAMA. He is the most bland persoanlity of the entire crew and the one person no one wants to hear speak. Oda gives him very few speaking roles, and his tone is always the same. Luffy has no strong opinions for or against ANYTHING. He stands for nothing other than what he wants, and the cast are always caving into his bitch fits cause he is the captain.

This is nothing new. All really big shows, books, stories etc have a bland, generic main character. This lets the viewer/reader project themselves onto the character and have an identifiable, relatable person in the story.

We only know for sure that some Sea Kings are intelligent and that doesn't mean they're benevolent to humans.

High level pirates can probably sail through the calm belt but at that level they're probably just looking for the Road Poneglyphs. It wouldn't be as easy of a journey as you make it sound, Sea Kings are still pretty tough and could easily destroy the ship or get a lucky bite like with Shanks.

Despite always jobbing onscreen there were even random wild animals on that random island in the Calm Belt who were stronger than Luffy without Gear 4.

Zoro has never been placed in an emotionally compromising position. His backstory was the most bland, and all his trials have been how much pain he can endure.

That said, I would like to see Zoro cry one day. I dunno.

>>153658153
He did cry after losing to Mihawk. Also, reread the chapter he joined the crew, then chapter he sacrifices for Luffy, and finally the one he asks Mihawk to train him. Zoro has come a long way, realizing achieving his dream is meaningless if he can't protect those around him, and in the end was capable of not only giving up his life but also pride to help the crew. He was also the one to notice that allowing Usopp to join the crew as if nothing has happened would weaken it (even though you can see he was really happy as Usopp rejoined). Zoro doesn't cry often, but that doesn't me he has no internal conflicts and challenges going on.

>>153648335

This is what pisses me off about Cracker. Every other person in BM's crew that's not a sweet commander I can understand them being shit tier compared to Luffy within reason. But Cracker's fight went from "holy shit he's going to make biscuits an OP ability isn't he?" to "Holy shit why couldn't he catch Luffy for 11 hours?" to "Wait, why does balloon stop a blade now?".

The first two chapters of the cracker fight were a rollercoaster. We saw this guy get pressed by Luffy's G4 only to realize he was hiding behind 7000 biscuits. But once he starts going all out we just cut away and the resolution was a wet fart as well as the kind of loss that makes me not respect the character. Oda definitely can write losses that don't diminish the perceived strength of a character (ex. Zoro vs Das) But holy shit do I wonder why Cracker is a big deal to the marines if they can just splash some water on him and send in a single heavy hitter.

The fight and character were pretty weak in execution but in terms of pure powerlevels, Yonkou commanders really shouldn't be a massive roadblock for Luffy at this point in the series. We're gonna have other members of the crew fight them very soon (if not in this very arc, then for sure in Wano), and Luffy is obviously massively ahead of them. Not saying he's "Yonkou level" (is there even a consistent level for all 4 Yonkou?), but he should be head and shoulders above their henchmen. It's what fits.

>>153661288
>Yonkou commanders really shouldn't be a massive roadblock for Luffy at this point in the series
I don't necessarily agree but I'm of the camp that Oda didn't sufficiently inform us of what to expect from a Yonkou's actual forces. And that what expectations I do have don't substantiate Luffy being able to take half of his crew, and not even the significant fighting half, into a Yonkou's territory and manage to succeed this well in their goals.

Since I only really have Whitebeard and the fact that the Marines were shitting their pants at the mere thought that any two yonko forming an alliance was a big fucking deal. I always assumed that despite having much larger crews than the MC, they followed something akin to Whitebeard's formula of Captain > Commanders > Notable individuals > grunts. Crocodile also had this structure and Yonko have large territories to protect so it makes sense that their commanders/notable individuals handle the bulk of enforcing boundaries.

Cracker also states that he constantly tussels with the Marines and we've seen what firepower the marines are willing to bring to bear against individuals they think are worth taking in/down. If the only real threat was an enraged BM and all of her other units weren't actually useful it would make no sense why the marines don't start picking off members to prepare her for a full scale assault where they take her down. I had believed that a Yonko's higher officers were themselves incredibly imposing figures and people like Marco/Jozu definitely backed some of that hype up since both required coordinated efforts from vice-admirals/admirals/doflamingo to take down. And even Jack required some extreme measures to stop on both is attempt to rescue Doflamingo, and his latest attempt to take Zou.

Just feels like he should have taken in Luffy since we know BM wanted to kill Luffy after the ceremony anyways.

Well the thing is this was an infiltration mission to begin with, not a full-frontal assault. Sure they got found out and all, but they didn't go there to fight the full crew of Big Mom, and Big Mom never dispatched that kind of force to deal with them. Them escaping? Jinbe's betrayal. Whatever happens from now on? The inner coup that's brewing. Stuff like outplaying Brulee inside her mirrors or beating Cracker is just about inside the extent of the protagonists' abilities. Not that it's been super well-executed, it still suffers from that thing where Oda fragments the plot threads inside single chapters and weakens the focus on each of them individually as a result by cramming too many things. But in terms of believability I don't think it's doing anything too wrong. For all we know, Cracker's the weakest commander of the weakest Yonkou, with an ability more suited to please Big Mom's eccentricities than pure battlefield dominance (much like a lot of her crew seems to be)

>>153648431

>>153661572
>>153661759
I think something we learned from the few last arc is that it's not about clash of crews anymore, like Captain VS Captain and that's it. It' about ALLIANCE. The Yonkou's power is huge because they have 20 other high tier crew under their commande. That doesn't mean you'll have to take 2000 guy down, but that if you take the yonkou down, you better be prepared for 2000 angry dudes hunting your ass, traitoring each other and training to fuck you up now they saw you fight.

>>153661759

>Not that it's been super well-executed, it still suffers from that thing where Oda fragments the plot threads inside single chapters and weakens the focus on each of them individually as a result by cramming too many things.

I don't see how it is an issue. Oda always did like that. It moves forward the plot from everwhere the same pace and make us wonder how everything will connect. It's really enjoyable.

>>153661759
>Sure they got found out and all
They have been marked since they entered the territory. The only people to evade detection successfully was Pedro and Brooks. Part of the reason I liked this having to be an infiltration mission is because Luffy was entering an area where I thought fighting would be extremely detrimental to him. But he's been getting into direct confrontations and he's going 2-1 right now. He beat Cracker. He lost to the angry army. And his prison break was successful (subtracting Opera since Jimbei took him out) and that included his takedown of people while he rampaged. Sure we've seen that BM's crew has organizational issues. But they went from being able to mobilize relatively quickly to not being able to react to a single prison break.

>Stuff like outplaying Brulee inside her mirrors or beating Cracker is just about inside the extent of the protagonists' abilities
I agree with the first part. I'm iffy on the second for reasons I stated. Even if you subtract his biscuits, Cracker still possessed a greater caliber of CoA and he himself could have just killed Luffy which makes his failure even more baffling to me.

>For all we know, Cracker's the weakest commander of the weakest Yonkou, with an ability more suited to please Big Mom's eccentricities than pure battlefield dominance (much like a lot of her crew seems to be)
Going off his bounty (how much of a pain he is to the WG) and what it took to take down his unsoftened, and non CoA infused biscuits (still took G4 luffy to take down), and the fact that he is also a walking army much like his mother. I'm inclined to believe that he's actually a capable fighter. But you raise a good point about BM potentially representing the weakest of the Yonko. It remains to be seen I guess.

>>153662068
That's true but Luffy isn't having his alliance help him on this one. So it's one crew vs an entire territory.

That's basically an ad hominem argument. "Your issue with OP is really an issue with you! Be more like us(me)!"

I've been reading the manga weekly for over 10 years, so catching up has nothing to do with it. And I've reread it entirely not too long ago, the panneling and focus issues stood out even more. Try it, read Alabasta and then Dresrossa, two arcs that are often compared.

what the fuck?

Shanks, Buggy and Kaido don't give a fuck about Raftel. Of course Buggy and Shanks are closer, they fucking went there. They are out of the equation anyway.

From what we know Luffy, Big Mom and probably BB are the closest. Luffy and Big Mom because they have the power and a mean to read the poneglyphes. Big Mom will be out of the equation after this arc though, she's from a dead era. Blackbeard is clearly the leader of the worst generation at the moment, we don't know yet if he can the poneglyphes but i'm pretty sure he has something. I'm putting him first on the list. After that it's hard to tell. Probably Kid.

>Personally I cant wait for Wano and really hope Oda doesn't let us down. WCI needs to hurry up and come to a close with the crew barely escaping on time etc. etc.

>they fucking went there
We don't actually know that. In fact we recently got told of a case where tripulants of Roger's ship did not actually make the final trip to Raftel. Maybe low-tier people like Shanks and Buggy at the time got left in a base or a nearby island while the big shots of the crew went in; perhaps the act of getting to Raftel itself is dangerous, much in the same way going up Reverse Mountain was said to kill 50% of the people trying to get into Grand Line.

There's too little info to go on for us to know anything about Raftel and what the fuck's up with it.

Captain John's trasure who has nothing to do with the One Piece. Rayleigh heavily implied they all went there. It wouldn't make sense for Roger to go on Raftel without his crew anyway.

>>153664182
>they all went there
Not Oden's retainers, who were part of the rest of the trip, for starters. From there we can assume there's more members like that, especially to the point that Roger's crew was big enough to have cabin boys and nameless gooks by the dozen.

Huh, Shanks & Buggy.
They did go to Raftel right? Does that mean they know about the True History?
I remember Roger doing his things for one year after the crew was disbanded, so maybe they don't know about the OP.

>>153664153
>>153664220

>got told of a case where tripulants of Roger's ship did not actually make the final trip to Raftel

They weren't real members of the crew.

Rayleigh said "we" know. Shanks and Buggy were true members therefore they must know.

You need to re-read.
At the start of this manga Blackbeard is the one who tells the Strawhats that Skypiea is real.

He is the first non Roger pirate to state that One Piece exists.

He knew a means to eat two devil fruits without dying.

If you don't think pic related was a reference to 800 years ago when the D. lost the war, you're a retard.

Blackbeard knows more than anyone.

He is the true chosen D., the one meant to bring them to victory vs the WG.

Luffy is not. It's something of a glean but there were two factions of the D's.

The royalty (Blackbeard), and the common D. (Luffy).

Sorry for this horrible formatting.

>>153664521
>>153664386
And Whitebeard could have known too, since Roger also offered to tell him.

Only Roger went. Only Roger got the cancer.

>>153663955
Of course it doesn't apply to everyone, and I'm not completely defending Oda. I don't recall the story being so dry excluding a few pages every chapter. Is your problem just with this arc?

>>153664044
The way everything is shaping up this arc leads to Big Mom either going down or getting weakened. I just don't think the spotlight will belong to the Strawhats. I can feel my inner child exploding just thinking of Wano, I'm hoping it is exciting.

>>153664717
>I can feel my inner child exploding just thinking of Wano, I'm hoping it is exciting.

I feel the exact same way about the ongoing arc... I don't understand why you guys aren't hyped.

>If you don't think pic related was a reference to 800 years ago when the D. lost the war, you're a retard.
It's not. Roger stated it clearly, the 3 things that can't be stopped- A man's dream, inherited will, and the flow of time. "D" stuff obviously falls in the realm of inherited will, a man's dream clearly the quest for Raftel, and we don't really know much about the flow of time yet I guess but it'll be about Gorosei being immortals because they can't let go

I do like the idea that the "Will of D." is represented more by Blackbeard than Luffy, in the sense that it could be something more grey or straight up black than we expect. So Luffy would have to carve out his own path, rather than simply executing on a prophecy set up for him 800 years ago. But with all the allusions to "the one Roger is waiting for", other prophecy-esque stuff with Luffy, and WB telling Teach he "isn't the one", it doesn't look likely that this scenario will happen. The Will of D. will probably be unambiguously Good.

>>153664602
>He is the true chosen D., the one meant to bring them to victory vs the WG.
Nah WB called him out specifically on NOT being the one Roger was waiting for.

>>153664673
Roger got the cancer way before they got to Raftel, that's why they drafted Crocus for their final trip remember?

>>153664901
Roger was referring to the void century too.

>>153664978
Thanks anon, I did not remember that, but you're right.

>>153664974
Roger wasn't alive in the void century though so it's not really his choice, it's something set into place near a millennium before he was born.

>>153664974
Whitebeard also implied that Teach would try to kill every D. but himself.

>>153664816
My preference is just with Wano. I'm more interested in what will happen there now that we have Sanji somewhat returned and the poneglyphs stolen. Strawhats have already gotten what they wanted at WCI

>>153665233
Did he? Where?

>Is your problem just with this arc?
No, actually my problem was mostly with Dressrosa but similar complaints could be raised against most post-TS OP, and even going back to original Sabaody (for which the extreme jumping around didn't really matter too much though).

Oda's storytelling at the beginning of the manga up until Alabasta was much more simple and naive, but it had a kind of nuance to it. And all of it coupled with Alabasta up until Water 7 also had a sense of delicacy and formal elegance (i.e. the giant silhouette as the bell rings, tying up every single plotline in two arcs with a single symbolically charged panel that looked majestic as fuck)

>>153665299
In his death speech when he told Teach that even if he killed "all of them," someone would appear to challenge him anyway.

>>153665330
The "he" WB was talking about was the world government and Sengoku, not Blackbeard.

>>153665330
He was talking about Roger lineage, telling that even if he have kill his son, the flame/inheritance of roger will never die.

>>153665324

You sure it's not nostalgia talking? Sabaody is when i have started being obessed with One Piece personnally.

>>153665573
As I said, I reread the whole thing not too long ago and the change was more noticeable when reading the arcs in succession.

I think you are autist anon...

>>153665641

I guess, i should too. I have just reread the east blue saga recently. It was nice (Usopp's mom death was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time).

>>153652915
Hey man, I missed you.

>>153665489
I know. But if Blackbeard is of the same kind of D. lineage as Roger, then why would him killing them even be mentioned?

It supports my argument that there are two lines of D.s, but they are lumped into one because of an ignorance of the void century across the world.

>>153665489
When Whitebeard declined to know about Raftel, but specifically asked Roger about what the D. is, and Roger readied to answer and Oda cut away from the flashback suddenly instead of showing the answer, do you think Whitebeard got to learn the ancient history?

What if Roger told Whitebeard that Teach was evil but Whitebeard said,
>I AM THE WHITEBEARD AND HE IS MY SON!
I like to think it's what happened.

>>153665324
I don't know if we will see much more of that kind of writing. What the crew deals with now is of world changing importance. I'd like to see more of Oda's touches, but the rest of the story is changing because it has to.

>>153665967
Well because he just did it, without him the only son of Rogers would be alive.

>>153666046
I don't think Roger knew who the fuck Teach was at that point

>>153666071
Well if Roger tell him "That guy in your crew.." that could have been enough.

>>153666068
But Roger's cousin's are alive and Whitebeard knew this for fact from his discussion with Roger.
>>153666071
Within a year or two of Teach joining (the canon contradicts itself in this specific question) Whitebeard's crew, Roger died.

In a flashback, it's shown Whitebeard asking Roger directly about "D," and that Marshall D. Teach was on his crew.

He directly tells Roger and then Oda immediately cuts away so we can't see what's said.

What? These threads arent gigantic shitfests already?

I used to be homeless and practically lived on these threads as an escape from my reality. All it ever did was frustrate me because of how stupid some of you are. Finally got a full time job and an apartment. Visiting these threads sucks now, I'm embarrassed. I mean some of you are doing the same exact shit in the time it took for a homeless man to go from pissing in bottles and stealing from Wal-Mart to working and building his own safety net. I don't understand and I no longer care to try. A decent amount of you are faggots and I'm not sure you can help it.

It happened too soon/the series has been dragging for way too long.

Zoro's character arc is good, but it's basically been over for nearly a decade and he's just sort of "there" now. Same thing happened to a lot of the cast.

>>153670872
shanks crew member is probably from Sai's country

>>153671392
That very well could be true. It would make him one of the strongest people in the whole manga.

>>153654479
> Kizaru

?

>>153671954
Kizaru fights with a light sword, hes also the 2nd strongest Admiral as far as we know

so Luffy vs Akainu obviously for revenge, Zoro vs Kz

>>153670939
and great doujins !

>>153672007
Opening 17 matchup make more sense than that
(Maverick vs WG Lapdog/ two swordsman/ Holy light vs Hell fire)

>>153671509
which is kano.

>>153672007
>Luffy vs Akainu
I really don't see it beyond some short skirmish. I mean, Luffy's final opponent after all this years of buildup should be Blackbeard, Akainu shouldn't fall untill the very last arc, and I don't see him as kind of "appetizer" fight. Furthermore, we've got Sabo with prominent role in the flashback and Dressrosa, and he has all the right to avenge Ace. Having the Akainu's last stand be against Sabo makes more sense.

>Zoro: I WADDA GET LOST! TAKE ME BACK TO SOME TOWN PLZ
>Furanky: I WADDA TO AAAAAOW

>Usopp: I WADDA LIE AGAIN!!
>Brooke: I wadda be alive again, yohoho~~

What do you wadda?

>>153672624
I feel like Luffy and Ace were close since Sabo didn't even see him as an adult and Luffy was literally right next to Ace and got the horror of seeing Akainus fist going through his bros chest

Comparatively BB hasnt done a lot other than capture Ace and kill WB

I don't see how Luffy could beat Akainu though, I mean even with Haki and everything how can Luffy beat Akainu in a straight up one on one fight?

How can Luffy beat lava?

I don't see how Luffy could beat Crocodile though, I mean even with Water and everything how can Luffy beat Crocodile in a straight up one on one fight?

How can Luffy beat Sand?

>bringing back the worst princess

I don't see how Vivi could defeat my dick, i mean even with lubricant and everything how can Vivi defeat my dick in a straight up one of one passionate sex?

How can Vivi beat juicy dick?

>Brooke: I wadda be alive again, yohoho~~
Seriously, I don't like current Sanji's development, but I'd endure Brook's unexplained past coming to get him just to see him scream 'I wadda live!".

>>153672734
If the flashback didn't make it clear for you, then Dressrosa surely should have - Sabo is much their brother as the each of them, Ace loved him all his life, and Sabo loves him, too.

>>153672734

> Comparatively BB hasnt done a lot other than capture Ace and kill WB

That's why he will kill Shanks. It's almost a necessity. Defeating the mentor of Luffy will strenghten the hate Luffy has towards him and also make him the main goal of Luffy (power wise).

>>153673099

>If the flashback didn't make it clear for you, then Dressrosa surely should have - Sabo is much their brother as the each of them, Ace loved him all his life, and Sabo loves him, too.

Sabo has almost the spirit of Ace in him... He's the one who will will defeat Akainu for sure. There's a reason Oda portrayed him so strong.
