It was badass precisely because it was an utterly impossible task. Should stay that way imo. In the end Luffy can surely fight past 3 Admirals but not just by his own strength but by that of the followers he has gathered around him through "the most dangerous ability in the entire ocean". Whitebeard couldn't take on all the Admirals at once but he didn't need to because Marco & Jozu smoothly moved in and took care of it. Just like Zoro & Sanji can do for Luffy. That's much more appealing imo than one guy beating all 3 Admirals.

Well that's kind of boring if you're saying that the strongest Luffy should be able to get is strong enough to take on an admiral. Puts a major limit on the manga. Especially with the way they talk about Roger, sounds like taking on those three would be an easy task for him. Whitebeard was old, almost dead and weakened and he owned Akainu like it was no problem. Imagine if the dude was in his prime…
-
We fundamentally disagree too much here for any kind of productive debate to be held. I'll leave it at that.
-
Well let's say that earlier on Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji take on the Admirals together, but later on (when there's no more time for bulls***) Luffy gets past them on his own.
-
Nah. I say that the dickhead Admiral (Kizaru) tries to get in Luffy's way as he's going for… something... and Luffy just stares contemptously at him, then Sanji is there at his side redirecting Kizaru's kick while Luffy walks on as if nothing even happened. Or Zoro, causing Kizaru to jerk back or get sliced up. Way more badass. It makes it look as if Luffy is above even fighting an Admiral; he doesn't need to, he has friends who'll do the job. He still can't beat the three of them at once but this way emphasizes his strength in a much better way to me.
-
Actually, now that I think about it, one of the Admirals has become a Fleet Admiral, so there will be another Admiral to take care of.

He's just more violent while the other two are more chill.
Hey guys, you go die on the front lines, these guys are trying to kill me, but I'mma chill for a little, maybe watch the battle from above. Yea, oops I got shot, Marco just kicked me and Jozu broke me in two, YO CHILL GUYS I'M JUST CHILLIN HERE AKAINU IS THE ONE THAT KILLED YOUR POPS. Shit these Whitebeard's such a*holes.
I could probably kill you Luffy, but I want to see you grow up strong and come back so we can have a fair one on one, when I'm old and weak. Ok? I'm just gonna chil… HEY STOP ATTACKING ME A*HOLES!
-
…If Akainu is taking on all of the Whitebeard pirates, then what were the other Admirals doing? Chilling.

I beleive whats going to happen is the new generation of pirates are going to fight it out Luffy, Blackbeard, Law and Kid and the Impel down arc could just be used as a way to get rid of the old and bring in the new.
-
Well that picture of kid BB is pretty speculative. But some things don't make sense. Like Doflamingos pose. Has he really been laying on beach chairs his whole life O.O
One key thing i notice is the moon. I think BB might have some transformation and he was outcasted for it, like Chopper
-
I think the moon shows he went out in the night to cry so no one would see.
And with all the parallels that exist between Luffy and Teach, maybe Teach lost a brother as well?
-
What picture are you talking about?
-
The image of Teach as a kid drawn by Oda seen in Volume 63 SBS. Look into the respestive thread and you will find it.
-
16 characters of thank you.
-
maybe he was just bullied for being fugly

Blackbeard is actually a werewolf. Oda confirmed it in one of the past SBS.
-
The new chapter suggests Laffite may be Sanji's opponent after all and not Brooks..

Which one was that?

No!? Really???
Sorry, I know shouldn't have, but I couldn't help myself.
-
Closest thing we will see to a Werewolf is Jyabura.
-

Brook and Laffite still have more in common than Sanji and Laffite.
Brook and Laffite - Canes, music theme, hypnosis.
Sanji and Laffite - a suit and the ability to stay suspended in the air.
Brook can still jump super high and run up walls, he doesn't need to fly.
-
I was being sarcastic, Psychosis.
TO be fair, Oda confirms a lot of weird shit in SBS.
-
Like Jozu having a diamond penis..
-
Which is why you fooled me.
-
Teach has always been in the dark. Even as a kid. Now, he can use that darkness as his greatest weapon. Obviously his theme here.
-
I'm thinking that Teach will fight Shanks and defeat him, and then Luffy will come at the scene and take revenge. (Remember when Shanks said that Luffy will give him his hat back when the latter has surpassed the former?) Finally, Luffy will defeat BB. I'm also thinking that Teach will be the final antagonist, because of the speech that Whitebeard gave about a gigantic war that will embroil the world in one day when the One Piece is found.
-
I keep getting the feeling that Blackbeard will kill SJW. I can already notice that SJW is goofy and hesitant as if he is not truly evil or atleast not anymore. Also if blackbeard kills him then that will be two nakamas that he has killed and possibly shanks(probably not) which owuld only make Luffy angrier and give him the strength to beat up black beard. Pkus I'm sure everyone would enjoy a 1 v 1 fight. Not a couple of strawhats get injured fighting SJW and then go into their final battles handicapped
-
i doubt it. Whatever Wolf did was so terrifyingly evil the WG saw it fit to erase his existence from history. Someone capable of something THAT evil, and then kill enough people that in the same predicament for the purpose of escaping isn't gonna pull a Heel Face Turn like that.
Plus, Blackbeard is responsible for capturing Ace. Luffy doesn't need his "don't hurt nakama" button pushed, he's ready to KILL Blackbeard. -
I don't think SJW is so much "goofy and hesitant" moreso as he is "Lenny From Of Mice and Men, But Evil".
-
Even if he wasn't "evil" why would that make Blackbeard want to kill him? He's not running a league of doom y'know.
-

SJW's size could become more of a burden than a help and if blackbeard wants to become king he just might not want people slowing him down. But that's just me Luffy wouldn't go after him unless targetted or fighting for One Piece. Blackbeard attacking him and giving some speech about how much of a "jerk" he is that kind of stuff usually provokes luffy. Probably just my fanatic fantasy mostly because I hate seeing a face following everyone that is as big as a giant's whole body >.<
-
BlackBeard loves his crew, he took an attack from ace to save them, and BlackBeard cares enough about SJW's to get a ship to accommodate his size.

He doesn't "love" them. He just didn't want them to attack Ace because he knew they weren't a match for him - plus he never took an attack for them.
The lvl 6 Prisoners only seem to be going along for the ride only because of BB - the moment things fall apart for BB - they'll ditch him.
As for SJW, i think there is a reason why he's called "collosal battleship". He may be an ability user of some kind - plus it seems very likely he's a sea giant thingy, much like that guy from Vander Deckan's crew - except the biggest of his kind.He'll probably end up being the ship or pulling it along or w.e

Nah, it was later revealed Wadatsumi is just a very large Fishman.

@S.C.:

Same thing. Though we havn't seen webs yet on San Juan I am leaning towards a giant fishman as well. His name does somewhat imply he can swim well.

It's confirmed. BB's a Yonkou now, people.
And he's stealing powerful Devil Fruit powers from various people in the NW.Discuss.
-
Since now we know that Blakbeard can take more than 1 devil's fruit. I wonder what he does with them? Does he hoard them all or does he distribute them to his followers?
-
My guess is that he's giving some of the stronger DF powers to his crew in order to create some sort of super, ultimate pirate crew.
It would seem too cliche for Blackbeard to keep all that power for himself. -
You know, handing out DF's to trusted associated would be a good way to gain allies. The thought of being able to take them away also might keep them in line.
-
^It's also a nice Carrot-on-a-stick to manipulate untrusted associates.
-
Pretty sure he's giving the powers away to his crew, otherwise it wouldn't have been said that the whole crew is on an "Ability Hunt"… Plus, it's been hinted that it is already extraordinary Blackbeard can hold the power of 2 fruits. And there's an explanation to why that is. I'm almost certain he cannot gain more than that.
-
I would think if any got them, it'd probably be the originals, minus Lafitte. The ID Guys were apparently strong enough to get placed on Level 6 by their own abilities.
-
Okay I have a new theory.BB isnt just hunting powerful Dfs-He hunting Dfs that have the power to help him get to Raftel.Remember there seems to be some mysterious problem with getting there and Im sure BB is uing powerful Dfs to solve that Problem.I howver think the Strawhats will on the other hand get to Raftel using whatever method Roger did
