Shichibukai Discussion Thread

I suspect Hawkeyes bounty is probably up in the 600s. And yeah, if word gets out that Luffy kicks Moria's ass, even though he is still a shichibukai, Luffy will definitely be thought of as a recruit. It would be cool if the weakest admiral came to request him, Luffy refuses and then a fight starts/

Maybe it'll be Aokiji since they already know him.
He might actually request to be the one to give the invitation.
Or It'll be Akainu, the opposite of Aokiji, who, when Luffy refuses, (We know he will) will fight him. Possibly at Gyojin Island or, more likely, the next island past that.

Laffitte

Aokiji would probably fight Luffy, and Luffy really hasn't improved that much since they last fought, Aokiji is going to be an opponent probably in another 2-4 years.

@Mugiwara:

I think that Yellow Monkey Admiral might be a good match against Luffy, since they're both monkeys and all, lol. Well, that's just me hoping.

Anyway, about the Nami can't fight Jimbei thing. Franky might be a better match? He's quite strong and it feels like a good match.

We don't know enough about Jinbei to make an accurate assumption.
He might have a personality similar to Arlong, which will make Nami want to finally stand up for herself against them (Sinse she didn't get face off against any of Arlong's men.)
Also, I just had a thought.
The last Shickibukai is Luffy's mom, or some other relative.
Monkey D. -Blank-
To fit the animal theme.

Laffitte

Monkey D. Dadan would work.
Also, Nami is no match for a shichibukai, definitely, theres no way that she can take out a shichibukai. Its just too out of her league.

She took out a member of CP9
Granted is was the weakest member.
Also, I'm not saying it will happen on Gyojin Island.
She may be a match for one later.

I have a question…

How do you know that Jimbei is in the fishman island?

I am asking this because it seems that you see him as a type of king that live in those island when he is a pirate that goes around the world. Remember what Yosaku and Jonny said about him "he made mess in the East Blue".

Think about it, I believe that is important.

I'm constantly saying that he won't be there.
I'm also constantly saying that they won't get a new nakama there, but i think they still might.
I'm 50/50 on both of those.

Laffitte

Fishman Island - Jimbei is a fishman
Yosaku also said Jimbei lives there, common sense people.
And if he isn't there, well that would be great, huh? We waited 10 years to see him, and he's not there! Yay for bad plot!

pokemaster95

Jinibea is the one we have been waiting for 10 years and he comes and he is human that lives in the sea.That would be a bad mistake that one piece can make.

I think ''We have been waiting for him for 10 years, if he turns out to be a normal human living out in the sea instead of a fishman on fishman island, that'd be a huge One Piece mistake.''

King Kobra

@Brook:

But there's a chance of Jimbei being a Human that like Franky was raised by fishmen, or there are is also the chance that:

He's some merman tired of the shitty cliche of Merpeople being all kind with every creature and easy to trick, so he simply dumped the bunch of stupid fishmen that he tricked into helping him with a fake respect/friendship and decided to join the WG in order to rule the bottom of the sea with iron fist…

Or Jimbei possibly is a "kind" fishman who lied to his crew in order to save them from being killed off by the WG, so that's how Arlong became an evil bastard who hated humans because they took away Jimbei from him, but before we think Arlong's Gay, we find out that......JIMBEI'S A WOMAN...sigh

Or Jimbei would be a one shot character that will be killed off by some supreme force to show the force of said....supreme force...<_<

Or Jimbei's a Megalodon who eventually got bored of his crew after he surpassed Arlong in terms of species, assuming that if he's a megalodon, then his species growth is slower than any other species out there, explaining why him and Arlong were once equals...

Or Jimbei's a Remora, wich would be surely a shock for everyone...

Laffitte

Jimbei translated to English literally means Whale-Shark. Guys, face it, he's a fishman, he's long awaited. Just deal with it.

AH so thats where the Whaleshark part came form ^^ sweet!

I bet he looks like laboon.sry a random thought in my head.So that is were the whale shark came from.

Though that might be interesting.
And these things are HUGE btw, so don't be expecting someone Arlong's Size, this guy could be Moria's size of bigger.

I'm hoping Jeimbi doesn't have a DF like hawk eyes.

It would make him look more original in my opinion.

What makes you say that Mihawk has a DF?
All we know is that he pwns everyone with a sword.

I think he was trying to say "doesn't have a DF" just like Mihawk doesn't have a DF.

Eggherd

What do you think will happen at fishman island if the shichibukai Jinbei isn't there? Stop get some supplies and pow-wow. It's not like Zoro's going to need another sword now that he's probably going to grab Ryuugas. Something has to happen there, obviously they'll get wind of what happened with blackbeard and ace, most likely, but some action will have to take place.

They're in his shoes, man. That's how he powers his boat.

No, but seriously, Jimbei is a Whale Shark. All the other Shichibukai look like their animals, except Crocodile, who just liked the animal. For example, B. Bear is a huge bear-like guy. Mihawk has hawk-like eyes. Doflamingo looks flambloyant and loud like a Peacock, and Gecko Moria looks Gecko-like… somewhat.

Jimbei will probably just be ridiculously huge. I have a feeling though, that he'll look somewhat like the Tattoo that Hatchan, Arlong, Chuu and Kuroobi sport. I'm pretty sure that's Jimbei's symbol.

Yeah the animal thing is pretty obvious, 'cept for the Gecko thing like you said. Which makes me believe there's some Gecko-related thing with Moria we haven't seen yet.

BUT I do vaguely remember Moria's wikipedia article stating Gecko was some kind of Japanese pun on midnight or horror or something. So maybe there is no Gecko-related thing left..

Size comparison of a whale shark and a human
Its skin can be up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) thick.

Gorlom

I assumed it was the lazy ass charasteristics of Moria that was "gecko"

Admittedly, I don't know much about Geckos 'cept what they look like.. so I'll take your word for it.

They seem pretty neat.

Laffitte

It would be pretty cool if Luffy arrived to "Jimbei" bark, and Jimbei gets word of Luffy kicking the shit out of Arlong, one of his long-lost best friends in life. Luffy hears a fishman saying "He's gonna get it now"
Then Jimbei comes out, he's like 50 feet tall, and Luffy's punch just bounces off him. Man! That would be awesome! There hasn't been a shichibukai who looks "really" intimidating for a while.

The only Shichibukai who look intimidating to me have to be Kuma and Mihawk, just because Kuma is a huge ass bastard, and Mihawk has a huge sword. Crocodile had a cool design, just not really menacing. Moria looks alright, just kind initimidating in a goofy kind of way. And Doflamingo just looks gay.

Mihawk is possibly the strongest of the Shichibukai.

I don't believe he has a devil fruit.

Kuma looks like a priest, priests are not that really that inditimading to me, there nice.
Mihawk is a poorly done character imo, the character design is brilliant but that "I'm best swordsman in world, your impudent, fuck off" attitude of his is really dull.

I was talking about their designs, visually.

Mihawk is one of the World's top fighters how do you want him to act? "Oh hello, I am Mihawk and I am the greatest and would love to strike up a conversation with you. "

Come on, the guy is the worlds best, I don't blame him for not wanting to act all goofy like Brooke or Luffy he doesn't want to be bothered becayse he is off training.

its the ones with torches screaming stuff about gods forgivness and renouncing stuff while they got people tied to a stake...

err this has gone kinda out of hand. my second post wasnt funy i shouldnt have posted it in retrospect. but my position stands: priests scare me….
(not in the same ways catholic priests scare choir boys though)
its the fanatic ones.

Shark

You know, I've always thought of Kuma as one of those fanatical religious types, out to punish those who go against his beliefs. I'd actually think that it would be pretty cool if he is like that and specifically targeted DF users only, be it pirate or marine. Just fun speculation though.

But come on, he has almost no character, similar to Zoro, which makes it a perfect fight.
I'd prefer if he was mute then his current attitude. And no, I'd prefer if he was a bit more cocky, not just the "fuck off" attitude.

Are you sure about that? I agree that Arlong's symbol is the swordfish tatoo, but is that sun thing on Arlong's chest and Hatchan's forehead really Jinbei's symbol? Is that listed somewhere or is that just an educated guess?

It's a guess, but it's pretty logical. Only Kuroobi, Hatchan, Choo and Arlong have it. Since they were the strongest of the Gyojin and the only ones that weren't single-handedly beaten by Zoro, it's a good guess that they're the only ones from Jimbei's crew.

I don't know if anyone else has said this, but I picture Jimbei as being a Wotan (Giant/Fishman hybrid) like Big-Pan from the Davy Back Fight.

I guess, but I kind of hope not. That symbol's a little bland to be a pirate flag. Maybe it's just my obsession with Jinbei hopefully being all kinds of cool and kickass
