@Monkey:
Nope.
That would imply that the Whitebeard crew didn't actually want to rescue Ace.
And that the Government didn't actually want to execute Ace.
And would imply the only reason this scenario happened is that BB set it in motion. That it couldn't happened otherwise. Several things disprove this.1. All of it would have happened anyway if say Akainu had captured Ace. The WB crew would still attack Marineford, and the Marines would still kill Ace.
Ace would still have died, and Whitebeard would also still have died, lest we forget he at that point had already declared he would stay behind and keep the Marines back until he died for the sake of his crew.
2. BB's original plan was capturing Luffy. Ace just happened to make himself the target by chasing BB and finding him.Backstabbing isn't the same thing remotely as fooling people. The conflict was not manufactured by Blackbeard. He took advantage of it.
The way your describing it Luffy doesn't even do anything?? Am I following right?
By calling it that you imply that it would be very focused, or had to be to have him be the villain.
What? Why would that imply that the Whitebeard pirates didnt want to rescue Ace? If Blackbeards plan was to use Ace to lure out Whitebeard, he must have counted on WB trying to save him him in order to get the gura gura no mi? If he didnt think they would come, he wouldnt get the gura gura no mi wich he was apprently after. he came back to marineford after he already betrayed the WG just to kill whitebeard, and leaving proclaiming that he got what he wanted (the Gura Gura no Mi)
Saying "This could have happened without Blackbeard" is no exuse for blackbeard actually doing it. You cant murder someone and use "someone else could have done it if i hadnt" as an exuse.
the fact is that blackbeard DID IT, and it was a nasty scheme. If something happened in the canon you cant bring up "what if he didnt do it?" like it changes anything.
Does saying "The holocaust might have happened without hitler, Antisemitism existed all over europe at that time so someone else could have started a nazi party" remove any guilt from what hitler did? (sometimes you gotta use godwins law you know)
Come one MK you are wiser than that. What Blackbeard did is canon and cannot be undone.
