Luffy will eat Ace's Fruit and became a Rubber/Fire DF user, allowing him to vulcanize himself and punch through steel.
Calling it now. You can't object because weird stuff like Kaku turning into giraffes happens in this manga, so there's no reason Luffy can't be a Rubber/Fire DF user.
on offense, but terrable idea
fire denatures rubber.
I don't ever want to see luffy close to fire.
The "D"s are the last descendants of the "Ancient Kingdom".
No, crocodile's secret can't be something so stupid as him being a woman. There's nothing that makes him look feminine in chapter 0, he's even smoking his bulk cigars there. As Captain Shemeckie and twisted vixen said, it should be something related to his "wanted to be PK!" past or his past dreams, and even why he got that scar that heavily clashes his face O-o.
So women can't smoke bulk cigars by your logic? :wassat:
Akainu gonna got hitted :D
I get that feeling too, because I consider Akainu to be the main villain of this arc, and he needs a comeuppance (him facing off the Whitebeard Pirates will probably lead to this happening.)
Though it'd be satisfying to see the bastard get whats coming to him, I'd like to see his character being developed further - being promoted to Fleet Admiral for his accomplishments during the war, for instance. And I feel it's Luffy's right to take him down, because of Ace - but, this in itself is a negative promotion of revenge.
If Akainu is able to beat Croc and all the commanders than he is the most awesome shit ever.
my theory is that this thread is dying :/ (cant say it is off topic) and ya i think croc originally was a girl its a plausible theoryyyyyyyyyyyy
Will someone tell me how to make a signature already? UGH!
Hey, maybe Croc was some pathetic little cabin boy like Coby when he met Ivankov. Hell, i wouldn't want anyone knowing that if i was that bad.
So women can't smoke bulk cigars by your logic? :wassat:
¬¬ Not saying that. i think that fact adds to the theory that he wasn't a woman before. I don't think it's very "femenine" to smoke those bulky cigars, though that doesn't means that he/she can't smoke them, right?
Right now it is hard to make theories…..
All just end with time skip.. no timeskip to enter new world....
However theories in details are possible but too long and ya may just get flammed for it.
So it took me for ever to realize what Crocodile's secret is.
But I'm sure some one has already said this, but it's so obvious now to me after watching the new anime ep.
Anyways my theory is that Croc was originally a girl. : P
my theory is that this thread is dying :/ (cant say it is off topic) and ya i think croc originally was a girl its a plausible theoryyyyyyyyyyyy
I honestly agree. I know the anime isn't canon, but if you've all seen the latest OP episode, the dialogue between Ivankov and Crocodile really makes it seem like that's the "secret past" Ivankov knows about. Sells the theory much more than it did it me in the manga, imho.
Croc isn't a female….i hope, I bet he was on a pirate crew of a well known pirate...maybe, who knows
my theory is that this thread is dying :/ (cant say it is off topic) and ya i think croc originally was a girl its a plausible theoryyyyyyyyyyyy
If that was true, I think Captain Shmeckie would kill himself.
hhmmm, Coby said he heard a voice disapear in this chapter to helmepo…. maybe he has the power to hear all things like Roger does?
"Il turn your name into a synonym for weakness"
Here's a theory I made over at Onemanga
Here's a theory I made over at Onemanga
http://forum.onemanga.com/showthread.php?t=70608
4. The next event could be major in Buggy becoming a shichibukai. The marine on the den den mushi then informs the ship that they have found out Buggy used to be a Jolly Roger pirate and that he is a close 'friend' of a Yonkou (Shanks).
http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/549/11/
This shows us that the world government knows of his past and it may make them think that he is a strong candidate for shichibukai.
While what he did so far and the fact that he was a crew of Roger will probably increase his bounty, Buggy is not much of a pirate that can slay down some seriously strong pirates as we have seen so far. Meaning, while Buggy may be a threat to the government, we know that a Shichibukai needs to be a threat to other pirates also, which Buggy is lacking.
I thought this was some kind of joke until I read your post.

Yeah, i actually believe this could happen lolol
Yeah a lot of people have just said it couldn't happen because Buggy is weak but I have tried to explain that it will still work in a comical sense.
And after this war is over I'm sure Buggy will have a big name… people seem to forget this point a lot -
9. When Sengoku tells the marines to cut off the camera which is linked to Sabody Archiepelago we see that Buggy and the prisoners have taken control of the cameras. We know that there are reporters at SA, reporting all the action of the war back to the rest of the world. We hear members of the audience say that its "a member of Gold Roger's legendary crew" and "a brother of Red Haired Shanks". This is bound to have made him world famous all over the world, even more reason for the Government to make him one of their own.

That sill doesn't show that Buggy is a threat to the pirates, he may be a threat to the public but he is too weak for WG to even consider him as a Shichibukai at all.
There wasn't a clear criteria of being a Shichibukai mentioned in the manga at all, but we know that they are 'strong' individuals. It's not an organizational or a crew thing, it's about a strong individual.
Shanks is going to take up some of the slack of protecting islands that Whitebeard claimed…like Fishman Island.
I've got one about Shanks:
Like his old captain, Shanks has a modest crew of about thirty plus or so, but every guy is tougher then other nameless characters, like all have Haki and great stregnth, but it's low numbers that only make them equals to guys like Whitebeard, again like Roger (Like people like Marco = Ben, but nameless Red-Hair grunts > nameless Whitebeard grunts). I also think they have a large number of allies like 60 +, but aren't as strong as them, and par with Doma, Makugai, etc.
It's probably been said before, though.
It's more likely Croc is related to the Revolutionaries or is genetically related to one of the major characters like Roger. The way in which he went out of his way to protect Ace and Luffy suggests this, and given that he didn't know that Luffy was Dragon's son before, it would be a handy explanation Oda could use to explain why Croc tried to kill Luffy before. Finding Pluton could be part of a plan he has that's actually, perhaps in a slightly deranged way, meant to be a good act. Like getting rid of the Celestial Dragons or something.
Doflamingo is behind everything.
He is
pulling all the strings.
-The Marines are left with a choice between fleeing and abandoning Marineford, or staying and dying with it.
-Akainu in there messing this up, Shanks holds him off/kills him while the Marines and Pirates flees.
-Blackbeard destroys the island.
-The Marines are left to res co-operative and reform themselves.
well it is certain he dropped, and jimbei or himself didn't pick it up
so either someone will bring it to him
or he will get it by force laterthat brings the question whether WB captains can survive against admiral
it would be tragic if all captains against admiral will sacrifice themselves for their crew to get away
WB alone were not strong enough to survive against admirals
So there were half a chance either shanks will be back or they will get wiped
I didn't like to spoil too much by telling Shanks' name
By the way Shanks grow taller, does grandline makes you huge after you travel to the end
About predictions, if the war will be stopped, shanks need to stop BB, so either he will attack him or he brought an kuma-like ability to transport people or freeze time
So that again brings the question, since rayleigh and kizaru has speed of time and light
Does the Shanks' crew, Ben has the ability to stop time, foxy pirates had that but it was slowing time not freezing time, or maybe time travel ability
How can you kill kizaru, either you will have seastone like bullets or some certain ability, a greater level haki or else
Still I predict Dragon is engaging a war to free world during this opportunity
Coby confirmed to have Mantra?
^ Sure seems like it. Waiting for reliable translation.
^well, define reliable. Cnet's trans makes it seem just as likely.
…unless Aohige/SDT/ or someone can confirm themselves.
EDIT: aohige agrees!
lucky roo is gunna sucker punch akoji with his meat (dont be a perv)
Here goes my theory on Yassop.
so Shanks has Haokoshu Haki… We saw it shown that haki can be put on ammo in amazon lily. So my guess is that Yassop will have a whole bunch of haki imbued bullets that either him himself made (if he does have some sort of haki) or shanks.
He will shoot down Akainu,BB,and Kizaru... they will randomly get shot in the head from a huge range.
Then 1 day Ussop will be able to be this pro too. With the help of luffy.

If Yasopp does that, I will jizz in my fucking pants. The idea of this badass team of pirates coming in and conveniently wrapping up all the loose ends of this battle does seem kind of cheesy and silly but, at the same time, it just works so well dramatically - given the subtle way Shanks' crew have been built up until now and the way it establishes that Shanks is still like Luffy's adoptive/surrogate father in many ways.
Edit
I also have this pet theory that Garp will end up taking Akainu down. He was all set to tear him to shreds (if it wasn't for Sengoku holding him down) and notice how he reacted to Coby's monologue last chapter. Imagine if Shanks hadn't stepped in and Coby had been killed by Akainu. Well it's just something that occurs to me, but I think it would work really well dramatically - even if Garp dies in the process and Luffy takes over at the end.
Edit 2
As Luffy's sub sneaks away, as Akainu fights Shanks and Kizaru fights Beckman, Aokiji and the VAs go after Luffy's sub. They're about to destroy it when the Straw Hats show up and RUN RUN RUN starts playing. ;______;

It appears Ben Beckman is able to do something like that, so I dont doubt the yassop theory one bit.
Now I know i've said this and others a million times so far, but I do believe Shanks picked up Zoro. Right handed sword, seemingly loose clothing, cutlass(yes everyone has one, but so does shanks) but most of all why would Oda hide this character if it were not someone we already knew?
It just all seems to suspect to me.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯ 
Again Shanks has the generic pirate sword. Oda's drawn it hundreds of times in the hands of fodder.
@AdmiralYonkouMt.Bandit:

I don't think his sword is generic, just more of a generic look. Probably made a really powerful type of metal and with king haki becomes more powerful, i'm guessing.
but most of all why would Oda hide this character if it were not someone we already knew?
Because he does it all the time? Most of the time, the 'shadowy figure' in One Piece tends to be an unknown character rather than someone previously known. He usually uses for atmosphere rather than to hide something important.
Shanks sword is the generic pirate cutlass, but it has one difference which is (ironically) a much longer sword hilt (that could fit 2 ½ hands).
^And the cutlass the shadow holds has a one-handed hilt…
I got another theory. I think this war might be the last big screen time we see of many of the major players. Ace and Whitebeard are obviously gone for good from the series. I doubt the strawhats will run again into guys like Aokiji, Kizaru, Moria. I am not one of the guys who think Jimbei or Hancock join the crew so i think the last we see of them is fishman island.

Why do you not think the strawhats won't see the admirals again? I would expect them to have to face them when they get stronger tbh. Definitely Aokiji with the history he has with Garp. I can also see another kizaru + sentomaru (sp) vs SH's. But I agree with Moria possibly not being a big part of the remainder of the story, probably only as a mention/flashback when SH's go against Kaidou.

While I agree that Moria's role in the story from now on is questionable, there's still a lot of things for the admirals to do (like get beaten by Luffy and other Supernovas on their way to the top). And both Hancock and Jinbei still have unfinished business with Luffy.

Well help me remember. What brand new characters get heavily shadowed or hidden like that? Croc I can completely understand, Dadan I can understand, Jimbei as welll. These are characters that were mentioned several times before their reveal which makes us extremely excited to see them when they actualy get in the spot light.
Duval was hidden because we basicly "knew" that characters look before. Moria being hidden makes sense because knowing that he is a war lord already sets him up in the readers mind as someone special. What im saying is we always have some brief knowledge of the character involved, so the silhouettes set us up to get excited. But when there is absolutely no dialogue or passed information regarding a new silhouette shown especialy at this point in the story I can only imagine it is a character we have seen before. Doesn't have to be shanks, but if it's someone we have never seen before with absolutely no "hype info" about him/her why hide the character in the first place? Why isn't this character shown like Brook's long arm guys, or Nami's weather man sellsman?

It's an old trick to keep people interested.
Duval is the best example of that. Everybody assumed it had to be someone who they already met. And then, BAM! it was someone completly different.
I don't know a single example when he drew someone in a sillouhett when we already knew the character.
But of course it could be shanks.
But it could also be Sgt. Fuzzyboats of the Kamisori-Squad
Croc's secret
Maybe Croc was in love with the Mermaid Princess…and tried to become more handsome by asking some hormones from Iva, when the Princess didnt accept him for a second time he cut his face like an emo bastard, then he hunted Whitebeard because the Princess said she likes to be with the strongest man.
I certainly believe that Coby has gold roger-ish Haki, meaning he can hear the 'voices of all things'.
What that means is pretty obvious, Coby will meet luffy at Raftel for his last epic battle!
I'd bet my ass that someone has already said this, but what if One Piece isn't at Raftel? I mean, Roger said "that place" but this could mean any island, not Raftel specifically. For all we know, it's not even in the Grand Line.
The pandorica opens.
I have a Manga "break" question.
When you all say "there will be a break", does this mean just 1 week or much longer?
I have a Manga "break" question.
When you all say "there will be a break", does this mean just 1 week or much longer?
Just one week. It has been confirmed for just one issue, so yeah.
Mihawk once stated in the managa that for Luffy to truly become the pirate King he must become STRONGER than the STRONGEST swordsman alive.
So since this is a shounen manga in which everyon's dreams are completed by default once Luffy reaches the legendary place Raftel just like Roger he will basically be the Pirate King but to show your true strength and prove you pirate King in the eyes of other pirates you must eat the strongest swordsman alive which is zoro's goal or you might have to defeat your first mate. If this is so it might mean that rayleigh was originally the strongest swordsman alive and as luffy states the strongest swords man should be a mate of the pirate king.
IN WHICH CASE Luffy will have to fight zoro at both of their full power at the end of the series in order to become the pirate king. Captain vs First MAte (Gol D. Roger vs Silvers Rayleigh) (Monkey D. Luffy vs Roronoa Zoro) this would kinda also explain why the first mate and captain's full names are always revealed.
This also means that everyone on luffy's ship might learn physical haki such as Shanks' gun's man (forgot name he has silver hair not the mutton eater)
This might also mean that rayleigh has no Devil fruit but roger did and obviously roger had the most clever, the smartest, or the strongest Devil Fruit power until he died. This can also exhibit that most of Roger's crew had similar traits or powers to Luffy's and they might learn(luffy's crew) might learn from their respective predecessor F.E Chopper might learn from the one doctor at the Red Line or w/e Laboon is and Franky a shipwright and Roger is a D holder so he has a personality like luffy and enjoys music
KK IM DONE :D
Will someone tell me how to make a signature already? UGH!
Mihawk just said…. Becoming PK is harder than Zoro's goal to defeat the strongest swordsman
Mihawk: Boy. What do you seek?
Luffy: The Pirate King!
Mihawk: That is a path of incomparable danger.
Even more difficult than to surpass me.
