That's weird, we got the panels for all the remaining Shichibukai except Hancock, and where is Kizaru?

@El:
That seems plausible the only soul he has left to forfeit is his own . He covers the world in darkness, make it quake at his presence, maybe his last or first fruit was a mystical zoan inu inu model : Cerberus. ( three headed dog of Hades) A common theme in literature dealing with Cerberus is that a human overcomes him and gaining access to the underworld. Somebody like Blackbeard has enough will and strength to pull of such a feat. I mean he gains the power of the Underworld ( Yami Yami no mi) and now he has the power to destroy the earths surface ( Gura Gura no mi) . We all know Marco said he a strange body I wonder what did he mean by that.
Actually, for the zoan I was thinking something different. He has the power of the Underworld (yami yami) the power of 'earth' (gura gura), maybe now he needs the power of heaven?

Sounds weird to me, why show all the other shichibukai except her? She hasn't been around since Whitebeard split the island and she appeared to be running somewhere.
Kizaru is an admiral, we saw the other two this chapter make their presence felt, but he has been gone for a while.
They`re both supposed to be major players in this war, just seems like he has something planned with at least one of them.
I don't know that Kuma was shown either since there were multiple of him in the panel. It was likely just pacifistas. Technicality, I know.
Kizaru better run he is the only person whose power is strong enough to handle Blackbeard long enough for the Marines to come up with a plan to defeat him.
Some of you said Rayleigh was crying, I don't see it. I see him smiling. Why is he just sitting there watching the war? Roger should be rolling in his grave knowing his right hand man did nothing to help his son.

Black hole > Light
Kizaru's the last person they want in the field right now.
Some of you said Rayleigh was crying, I don't see it.
If you look at the bottom of his eye, you can clearly see that he's starting to tear up.
I was wondering if it was for Ace, granting he is his captain's son or was it for WB a rival whom he may have respected? Or is it for both of them?

Well, he's talking about Whitebeard's death in that very same panel…

Alright, those tears were kinda hard to see, and his face looks more like a smile to me. But still he should get his ass in the war to save his capt son instead of just watching. Now it's too late.
Rayleigh vs Blackbeard hopefully.
Well, he's talking about Whitebeard's death in that very same panel…
It could be one of those left over tears.
Oh well, back to whatever you were discussing before this.
I was wondering if it was for Ace, granting he is his captain's son or was it for WB a rival whom he may have respected? Or is it for both of them?
I'm still kind of mad that he did nothing to save his best friend's son. Maybe he felt like he shamed Roger by not being an individual and following his own wishes.
Well, he's talking about Whitebeard's death in that very same panel…
Yea, he did not even mention Ace. I wonder if he doesn't care or he simply doesn't know Ace is his capt son.
So facts we know.
BB may fail if he tries to take another fruit from another person
Marco said that his body is atypical, which means he has a unusual or different body structure as other people.
Cant think of anything, looking forward to oda explaining.
And I still feel luffy's role is not complete here, I just feel that something is missing.
@Cyan:
Black hole > Light

I bet Oda's gonna prove that next chap with the current situation.
Aokiji busy stopping fleeing pirates, Akainu trying to kill Jinbei and Luffy before getting to BB, and Kizaru will be the first admiral to get pwned by BB.
@onearmZollo:

There's no way he doesn't know now. Sengoku told everybody. He doesn't care. I can't fault him.
@El:

Did he knew Ace was Roger's son before Sengoku announced it? If not, then it would have been too late for him to do something about it.
In the past chapter, I mentioned that Blackbeard still did not shock the world by killing Whitebeard. That he still needed to do more and some of you said he did enough to shock the world. Told ya, it wasn't complete yet. I thought he would go kill Sengoku to shock the world but didn't expect him to absorb Whitebeards power too, Now he has truly shock everyone.
After re-reading that chapter, I hope SJW was not behind the HQ when Blackbeard quaked it.
@AdmiralYonkouMt.Bandit:
There's no way he doesn't know now. Sengoku told everybody. He doesn't care. I can't fault him.
True, Sengoku did annouce it to the world. Damn, Rayleigh really didn't care. I guess Rayleigh only cares about those he knows personally.
To be fair, Rayleigh was the first mate of Roger's crew. With all the people like Squad there fighting for Whitebeard, it's hard to imagine that he'd be welcomed to the fight with open arms. Accepting his help would probably cause some people (like Squad) to feel betrayed. The war was Whitebeard's fight, not Rayleigh's.
Anyway, I must say that I'm impressed with this chapter. Blackbeard's show to shock the world definitely lived up to its promise. It did so using some foreshadowing that Oda has been putting in place for a while, while also managing to be different from any predictions that I saw. On top of everything it else, the chapter does a good job at molding Blackbeard into a real villain. The unsurmountable intimidation factor is starting to manifest, and it's getting the average reader to start really hating him.
Could BB's body be the type that gets tougher as it absorbs damage?

I mean c'mon it's Ace.

That has more to do with the scenario where Ray actually shows up to the war. He didn't even bother to and if he did I see no reason why he couldn't pull a Croc and kill any WB pirate or NW ally that got in his way. Whether WB allowed him to help or not is irrelevant. Aint like they all felt bad or sighed in relief when Croc saved Ace's life when they couldn't.
I wonder if Sengoku will order Kuma to remove all of the damage Akainu took from WB and transfer it to an enemy.

The power of the moon? The power of bunnies!!
In response to Blackbeard's flag, and people saying that the three skulls could mean that BB might end up having 3 powers/being 3 seperate personas, yadda yadda….
Isn't it possible that maybe the 3 skulls could be Oda referencing the goddesses of "fate" in greek/roman/norse mythology? Seeing how Blackbeard's entire crew works on the beliefs of "fate", this isn't too far a stretch....well, that's how I see it anyways. Definitely a better explanation than Blackbeard being three different people, but who am I to say anything. I could be wrong for all I know... until Oda says so, no one's right I guess...
I don't know that Kuma was shown either since there were multiple of him in the panel. It was likely just pacifistas. Technicality, I know.
I think it was meant to be the same thing in the end, Kuma is all machine now. So, he did show him in some respect, not like Kuma would have given a different reaction from the pacifista. I just don't think it's coincidence that he left her out of the panels that show the existing membership, and she's been missing ever since that one panel a few chapters back.
I hope Sengoku finally does something other than gritting his teeth and popping an erection over his enemies abilities.

This. I actually like this idea, but we won't know for a while.
Anyways, my thoughts on the chapter: adsfajhdfjhzLDCK!!! Freakin Awesome.
I love how people were complaining that if all BB did to shock the world was kill WB, then they'd be dissapointed. Well how do ya like him now!
Never know what to expect from Oda, I mean holy shit! Did anyone see this coming!
And how are the pirates supposed to escape now? We all thought the war was over, but it looks now like there could be a month of chapters left….
WB is only 72?
That makes all the pops and man tears business all the more gay and weird. If Squado's crew was killed by Roger that means WB basically adopted a guy in his 30's as his son when he was only 50, give or take a few years. What kind of relationship is that?

The three heads being the three heads of fate has been the best theory in the past around here. That doesn't mean that its meaning can't extend beyond that, though. I think the two powers is where it will end, personally, but I suppose the theory of a third is plausible enough to give credit to. However, if he does get a third, it may make all the talk about him having two lives and whatever lose all meaning as far as I can tell. An explanation from Oda about what makes his body so special would go a long ways towards this discussion.
OMG this chapter was awesome~! Oda-sensei did it again! I didn't know how he was going to top the last chapter but he did! BTW anyone think that Jimbei will now want to join the crew?

It is really weird. I've gotten tired of it. I don't wanna see a son call his father "pops" in this manga again.
Unless this guy shows up
Jimbei might be the trainer for the Strawhats teaching them how to use real tecniques to win. That way he can get them up to his level very quickly
BTW anyone think that Jimbei will now want to join the crew?
Judging by what Jinbei has spoken, I really think he will join Luffy's crew, as a Helmsman and he should be their official ship steerer.
And now that Blackbeard declared war throughout the entire world, how will the World Gov handle this, especially the Tenryuubito.
Are they going to worry more on what's happening right now or worry on the "Roswalt Family" problem that is bugging Shalulia?
When Blackbeard declared war on all the groups he left out only the Revolutionaries. Do you think that was left out on purpose? Or he just forgot or didn't bother to mention it?
I still think Black Beards abnormal body is because of his Devil Fruit….
I wonder will the WG issue bounty now for BB? It can easily be the highest bounty ever for a first bounty.
I wonder if Sengoku will order Kuma to remove all of the damage Akainu took from WB and transfer it to an enemy.
Wow that is useful
-sighs happily- I absolutely adore Oda for the past five chapters or so. He's taking One Piece in an entirely new direction and it feels so refreshing.

Yeah, that is a good question. Maybe he just wasn't thinking of them at the time. The Revolutionary Army is enemies with the World Government and so Teach probably figures he won't have to deal with them at the moment.
did you noticed? BB is triplet!
http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-235/page010.html
his jolly roger has 3 skulls and on this page nami asked:
who is he?
and ruffy answered: not he..them!
http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-225/page016.html
i think luffy and zoro are referring to his crew mates. the doctor guy and brawler. and probably the sniper. (they didn't know them at the time, but probably concluded that they were crewmates)
perhaps he didn't consider the revolutionaries to be a big enough faction to be mentioned. Like little ants crawling around on a giant. Sure the ants can be a pain in the butt…but the pirates and WG are bigger factions at the moment.
Anyways, now that BB is more or less confirmed as the final villain, it will fall to Luffy to defeat him. When does this inevitable confrontation take place? On or near Raftel I'm thinking, with One Piece at stake. What could be more epic for the final arc of the series? If BB gets the One Piece, the world will be ruled by him, and Luffy has to stop him.
BlackBeard already has quake fruit to destroy anything, the blackness fruit to nullify all attack and powers...yet...BB is still a mortal.
One Piece...could it be the...
IMMORTATALITY FRUIT?!!! (or even a fruit that STEALS youth from others)
If people are truly right about BB being able to absorb one last fruit in his trio of souls...it would be an epic last battle :)
Crazy theory eh?!
Yet, the difference in power levels between the two crews puts SH's significantly lower at the moment. SH's need multiple people at the level where they would be imprisoned on level 6 in ID. What an insane crew BB has collected.

Well, we all know this. Or in other words, this is what we believe/assumed when we read that chapter.
But, some of us are actually thinking maybe there is another "hidden meaning" underneath. (Which I personally still doubt it).
Hence the reason why there is such discussion.
You know ODA is a genius. He makes us believe Luffy & Ace are truly blood-brother with that "Both of us inherits blood from the worst criminal" line.

Uh-oh, nobody tell Blackbeard that Brooke has the Yomi Yomi fruit. The three fruit scenario would make Whitebeard seem arrogant after commenting about Teach needing defense. That would be next on the agenda. If Gura Gura is considered the greatest offense, which fruit is the greatest defense?
So I noticed on page 4 that in the middle of all the Warlords, Oda randomly decided to stick Butters in.
What does this all mean? Probably nothing.

maybe a foreshadowing of a new warlord hell bent on catching BB
You guys probably discussed it, but that guy with the "drill arms" what are his hands and feet? Looks like he doesn't have legs.
It really looks like Jimbei could join the crew at this point. His dream could be to carry out Ace/Rogers will. I da know, but it doesn't appear to be impossible. It's just odd Ace would say please take care of my brother, unless he knows for sure Luffy and him would cross paths, and that he truely wants Jimbie to be with him forever.

Somebody said in the WB crew's future thread he was gonna become a shichi.
Now that'd be ballsy. The enemy of enemy is my friend is a pretty hard saying to take in that situation….. if it happens.
Where's Boa ? I hope she's going to help the pirates by stoning Aoki and get frozen herself in the process. The pirates then take her with them to de-freeze :)
i reckon its the will of D which allows BB to take another DF power
i also think that luffy will be able to do this somehow and use this to beat him
iono
