Yo first things first , thank you BF and eblobb for your efforts.
@DarkHamster:
Yes, you're right, that is why I love One Piece so much because of it's wacky originality. I love Gear 3rd, it was hilarious, but it felt like "hey look I'm bigger, so I'm stronger, so I'll beat you and win."
But after reading the manga for a while I don't think he'll just keep on using it….I hope.
I don t think gear 3 works like that , I believe that the air pumped into his bones propulses his arm forward , together with the original force of gomugomuno Pistol and the Giant factor it becomes more powerfull then a normal attack. But that s just my own opinion.
As for what comes next I could think of 2 scenarios:
A) Lucci is KO ed with this –> that means Lucci isn t the villain all of us thought he d be ( we haven t the same satisfaction we had when Luffy KO ed Crocodile, Enel, Arlong, ....) --> If Luffy can still fight --> I think we ll have a final battle against Aokiji (but not Luffy alone ,but the whole mugiwara crew or the 3 musketeers against him) :
-1) Last BC we and Robin saw , was obstructed by someone --> Saul and in this case I think the mugiwara will destroy some schips--> Aokiji came to save the situation, so I think the same thing will happen here
-2)Imagine a battle with all the SH and Aokiji and an Enies Lobbies in flame as decor ---> that would be a great finale for this arc --> at the same time Robin will be freed from her demons
-3)After the battle with Aokiji, Luffy and the others will be really messed up like in Alabasta
-.....
B) Lucci isn t KO ed we ll see an epic battle between him and Luffy
and after Luffy s victory they succeed in escaping BC
and everything will be good.
