@BeariousJones:
When do you think Scopper Gaban will be introduced in the story to the Strawhats, if ever?
This does not support your theory at all.
What was Scopper Gaban's role on Roger's crew? I listed multiple open positions. One of the most important, navigator, has yet to be stated on Roger's crew. William Adams is also a navigator.
William Adams has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Scopper Gaban.
Do you think a future crewmate will relate to the bronze statue Luffy wants?
No one fucking thinks this lol.
Luffy still doesn't have his bronze statue.
The statue has fucking nothing to do with crewmates of any kind.
It just so happens that 3 members of Roger's crew share a precious metal theme with their names.
This is not a connection to statues whatsoever, and no one else will see it.
It also just so happens copper is Scopper's theme and bronze is mostly consisted of copper.
WHAT ELSE IS COPPER
PENNIES ARE COPPER
WHO IS ON THE PENNY
ABRAHAM LINCOLN IS ON THE PENNY
ABRAHAM LINCOLN HAD A TALL HAT
So MAYBE Scopper will have a connection to the bronze statue
There is zero reason for anyone to think this.
I wanted to discuss if Scopper Gaban had any connections to William Adams.
You might as well ask if he has any connection to Lucille Ball.
The topics I brought up did not all originate from me….I just made my own deductions for some connections.
Whether you made the poop yourself or not doesn't matter.
Dog and Cat didn't mention Scopper because no one from the Strawhats brought him up.
And to repeat what I said to Shadowgreed:
Because they're specifically talking about Roger nostalgia, their connections to Roger, Oden's connections to Roger and so on and so on. Including starting to talk about strategy for striking Kaidou later.
How the hell would Scopper Gaban not come up as relevant.
I don't recall Buggy being brought up.
By who why and where would that have been?
Mainly Roger, Shanks, and Crocus. Roger has members that we don't even know their names. Anyways, point is Dog and Cat may not even know where Scopper Gaban is located. Him being in Wano for how ever long could be a surprise to them as well. Scopper may be the link to starting a flashback where we see young Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.
A foreigner that they all know personally living in a super homogenous society is someone that they wouldn't know about?
Again, this is why comparing Wano to Saobody is nonsense.
This is like comparing a black guy hiding out in New York City, with a black guy hiding out in an Amish village.
And Jinbe and Zoro show that Japanese attire doesn't NECCESARILY mean a Wano connection I agree, BUT just because they and others have on Japanese attire does not change the fact that 5 people and counting: Momo, Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Raizo, and Ryuuma (who Zoro may be a descendant from) are from Wano and have Japanese attire.
….what?
What the fuck is this non-point? How does mentioning Wanoese people wearing Japanese clothing mean that Japanese clothing is meaningful? Jimbei and Zoro are FAR from the only characters wearing Japanese style stuff who aren't from Wano.
The assumption when seeing traditional Japanese attire in One Piece is to question if said person is from Wano
No it isn't.
Actually I'm bamboozled that you think CLOTHING is what makes a Wanoese person.
Are you completely blind to the fact that they straight up look different from other humans? They look like Ukiyo-e paintings come to life.
or has Wano connections.
This is not whatsoever the assumption to make. Let's also assume the Wanoese built Marineford because of the Japanese architecture.
A good example is Fujitora, a powerful swordsman. He may or may not have ties to Wano. The POSSIBILITY exists until PROVEN otherwise.
The rest of us do not make this foolish assumption. Namely because we don't forget that this is a Japanese series created by a Japanese guy.
It seems your main gripe is that William Adams isn't in the same timeline as the late Tokugawa Shogunate era I believe.
My main gripe is the mega dumb statue "connection".

@Shadowgreed:
Secrets have been hiden from the readers before and while they were talking about Roger and strategizing,
When have we ever been talking about strategy and left out a major person of relevance. There's not even a remote hint at someone. There's just nothing at all.
it doesn't mean that Oda has to let his readers know that Scopper resides in a small unknown to many little house somewhere in wano.
I expect Bearious to not think straight, but what the hell Shadowgreed.
Scopper is a foreigner, a foreigner who would be KNOWN to at least Kinemon and the others, you can't be a known foreigner living in a super homogenous hermit society and be a small unknown nobody that gets overlooked. That doesn't make any sense at all.
What the heck has gotten into you that you're stooping to the lowest low and defending Bearious theories.
I mean, Scopper can pass by as an old man just like Rayleigh in SA.
Yeah because its not like there's anything qualitatively different about Saobody, the massive metropolis seaport where people from all over gather constantly.
And Wano, the super isolated hermit land populated by an incredibly visually distinct race of humans and currently occupied by an aggressive outside force.
Did Bearious bite your neck and turn you into a Bad Theory vampire or what the heck.
