I'm thinking that the crew's first island stop will be Elbaf or at least they'll get their eventually. After all the crew did meet giants after picking up Vivi. Maybe Oda will sort of repeat the same concept.
Theories That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread v.2
-

I'm pretty sure there has to be another mangrove like shabaody in the new world, It's the only place where new world inhabitants could coat their ships. I think the strawhats will go there first, of course it doesn't count as an island since it's made of trees and the log pose doesn't react to them. Then the next stop could be wano country or elbaf or one of the islands where we saw the supernovas before the timeskip. They could even go to the new marineford, former g-1, but i doubt it.
-
I think Oda will go with the Grand Line formula by having the SH Pirates' first stop being some random island with a quirky feature (possibly one of the islands that were featured when we were shown the whereabouts of the SN). Some event will happen there that will lead them to another island and so on until they arrive at some important place (Elbaf, Wano Country, Mariejois, etc.) where they'll confront a important figure.
I don't know about you guys, but I expect the start of the New World to revolve around Doflamingo, if only because of the whole slavery issue (Doflamingo was heavily involved with it, could still be) that was brought up during Fishman Island and how well that would tie with the next arcs.

Aokiji will become revolutionary

What do you think are the chances that BB stole Bonney's powers?

0%. He needs to kill the DF user to be able to steal his/her power, and we know Bonney is alive thanks to that SN poster we got recently.

Aokiji will become revolutionary
I think Aokiji will more joint Garp (since they where like good budy already in the past) // since Garp is their mentor Cobby ( well if Aokiji is the new boss of marine I'm not sure he want to keep such guy under him) and Elmopo ( his name?) will be with them too and together they will be a crew on the new world // not realy pirate nether marine, some kind of renegate / but after what, I'm not sure yet… (but help Luffy some how)

I think Dragon is an ancient weapon. Pluton or the other one.
Hes the most wanted man. He is the leader of the rev army and his story seems to circle around robin who is finding out about these ancient weapons.
Also how he fought smoker didnt seem normal either. I dont recall how it looked in the anime but it was green gas and thunder i think.
So yaa dragon is an anceint weapon

@Al!naJames:
We don't know that for sure, but I'd say the chances are still 0%.

But Garp is still a part of the marines and according to Oda a true blue marine at that. He is retired and just trains the next generation now, he isn't in his own branch of marines that Aokiji could just join and serve in.
Folks who read One Piece… Just better people. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Unlikely if he was an ancient weapon he probably would have destroyed the marines by now and by that logic you can Whitebeard would be a ancient weapon because he has a DF that can destroy the world so it wouldn't make sense. It was already said that Pluton is an ancient battleship of mass destruction so if Dragon was an ancient weapon it wouldn't be that one.

I have a theory.

I think that the person sitting across from Crocus is Calico Yorki former Captain of the Runbar Pirates

I thought he was the third member of the Roger pirates their 'Monster Trio'.

damn I think your are right, well then Aokiji will just bike alone on the sea ( what a cool dude) or become the next SH nakama <–-- new hot topic there
-
I have some points to add to Dragon being an ancient weapon:
The ancient weapons are named after roman/greek gods:
Poseidon: God of the sea
Pluton: God of death
Uranus: God of the skyNow that we know that an ancient weapon can be a person I think Dragon is the ancient weapon Uranus which holds the power to control the sky/weather this is particularly interesting cos when Luffy was escaping Loguetown when Dragon appeared a storm suddenly started helping Luffy escape and Uranus is the titan of the sky.

Dragon can't be an ancient weapon. If he was, the WG would have been defeated a long time ago because the ancient weapons have supposedly the power to destroy the world. I've said something like that in another thread.
Ugh, I really hope Oda gives more hints about the nature of Uranus soon so I don't have to deal with this kind of theory for the next years…

Sometime in the New World, the Strawhats are gonna leave an island without saving it.
They don't consider themselves heroes, and usually only save the day because a) a friend's in trouble, b) circumstances force them to, or c) ~adventure~
So I can imagine an uninteresting place where no one is hospitable or nice to Strawhats in the slightest, and then Luffy n' co being all like "screw this, I'm outtie" and leaving the people to be attacked or whatever since they have no reason to stay.
Granted, the people would have to be shown as really despicable, and there'd have to be a good reason they for the Strawhats to leave them (since they're the good guys and all), but I could see it happening.

I extremely doubt this will happen. I know that you just wrote about how it would have to be a certain situation for this to happen, however I doubt that Oda will write this. The Strawhat crew gets involved with everything. They are that in-your-face person that gets in wacky situations. It's just the way this manga works.
If a story arc involves a town or island with people, and the antagonist of the arc is threatening them, the plot will have the Crew intervene.
-
Right you are Md. Not to mention that, one, Oda's love for people, with all their faults and etc, shines through in every page, so I'd find it hard to imagine him creating an entire island of people so obnoxious there was not one worth liking, and two, Luffy has the strange power, the one that makes everyone so very nervous, to create allies where-ever he goes. The idea that he might go somewhere and not do so goes against everything pre-set by Oda.

While I was browsing another forum, I've got an idea. A theory about Horny (the tall VA guy with the horned mask with many holes; was seen at Marineford here and here)
I've read through lots of debates about who could be the new Admiral (skipping the Magellan and Smoker theories) and I came across and interesting point: looking at the VAs, one can easily notice that they're almost without exception at least middle-aged (not talking about the giants; please note that they've no place in this theory). If we consider this, we can assume that they've already reached their "limits" as in they're too old to get "higher up the ladder".
here comes the main part
Except for Horny;he seems awfully young compared to the others and he's not a giant, so he must not be older than let's say 35 years old (then again, I'm terrible at guessing a person's age). So he's younger than the others, thus, there's still time for him to develop his skills and such. What is interesting that he's already a VA, meaning that he must have something "special", not as in a Df or something like that but maybe he's "born to be a great man".
I can imagine him as an Admiral. We don't know nothing about him (hell, he hasn't even talked yet+lack of knowledge about his view on justice) and he can even have a logia Df (though I don't understand why many people want the new Admiral to have a logia DF just because the previous ones had).Hell, I'd be as bold as to say he has the same chances as Doberman or Onigumo.

Great theory, but I think Oda wants to introduce new characters, you know, to keep the readers interested or something. Not that I wouldn't like to see Horny's hidden potential.
Who exactly is Mumbo?
It's OFFICIAL, UsoppXNami 4ever.

@Sonic:

I can completely understand that. However, that's why I think Horny has great potential. He's basically an unknown character without name, personality, background or any kind of action on which we could base things.
(Then again, why do I want him to get more important? I mean, for all we know, he could be a character I will really hate. Well, I can't explain this… )
So yep, it'd be like:
Reader 1: Oh wow, Admiral Horny? So Oda introduced a new char. Great!
Reader 2: Hey guys, anyone else noticed that Horny was in the war? He just didn't do anything!
Reader 3: Now that you see it, yeah! Awesome!Okay, this conversation is a little… unnatural but you get the idea...
Don't worry, I won't post theories about why Lacroix should be Admiral or why Ronse is retarded. -
The NN thread is closed (though it isn't a bad thing) so I'll post this thing here:
Theory: Jinbe's duty concerns the Sun Pirates and is indirectly linked with BigMam.
Let's go back 2 years, right after Jinbe left Luffy. He went back to FI and, after talking with Aladdin and the others ex-slaves about the current situation, they decided to start sailing again together, like when they founded the Sun Pirates.They roamed for months but one day they accidentally clashed against BigMam's ship.
After an hopeless fight, Jinbe decided to sacrifice himself for his crew's safety and asked BigMam to take his life but spare his crew's. Surprisingly BigMam decided to take them as underlings because having some fishmen in the crew might be useful.
Ok start insulting, NOW! -
@Baou:
Speaking of Admirals,My theory is that: Kizaru is the only only admiral,and instead an elite group of new and very strong pacaifistas are used to fight against 'dangerous' people.
I thought about this. It would be similar to how Sengoku and Garp were the only two really powerful people during the time Roger was alive, along with Kong that was FA at the time. Maybe, one can presume their being more VA's in the Marines than before.

I think the closest we will get to this will be Jaya.
If there is another place like Jaya, or real life Tortuga, then I can see it happening again, but unless the island is filled with all PIRATES or CRMINALS, then I don't see them ignoring. If there is even ONE innocent civilian, the strawhats would somehow befriend them and decide to save them

I hate that idea. not that new characters aren't fun and interesting, BUT for some new people that were never even mentioned to show up and become ADMIRALS, just kind of feels like an asspull
You know like "OMG there was this hidden being on earth all along MAJIN BUU" or how Bleach has new enemies pop up every other day, or many other comics have this fault. I hate when someone just appears out of nowhere that dwarfs everyone else in their power.
-
I don't remember if I said this already, but I have a theory about the All Blue. I think that the All Blue will be found on Raftel, along with the One Piece and the remnants of the ancient civilization. The All Blue is going to be an old decrepit aquarium that used to house fish from all of the seas in the One Piece world.
But I guess that would make Sanji's dream unachievable.
-
@Baou:

Like,I could see Akinu saying "We must irradacate the evil known as 'piracy' at all cost.The world must have confidence in us.With the threat known as 'Blackbeard' and the power of the gura gura no mi still on the loose.We must quickly accerlate the pacifista program"
Regardless of how many admirals there are now, it will be funny as hell to see Kizaru taking (not) orders from Akainu
-
I think in the end all strawhats are similar but stronger equivalents of the worlds strongest forces. Luffy has a df that allows him to do really strong attacks and to take heavy hits as well as bb. Zoro - no need to explain. Strongest swordsman. Nano with her weather abilities -> dragon. Franky shoots lasers - kizaru. Brook has ice - aokiji. Sanji uses fire. Robin has maybe the greatest knowledge of all pirates alive. And since mk we know, there is no knowledge that is not power… To me it seems like "you may have a ssj df, but we found our one way to kick your ass using your power"...
-
If we need 3 admirals and Aokiji left the marines and Akainu is FA that means 2 new admirals.

I see three candidates for the two open Admiral positions:
Momonga
Pros: Has no known DF, so can be boosted massively with one. Has had lots of screen time.
Cons: Hasn't been very "dark" at all, so he doesn't fit Akainu's Marines, it'd seem.Doberman
Pros: Has had some screen time. Is very "dark" (abandoned a fellow Marine, and wanted to display Whitebeard's and Ace's bodies to the world), so he fits Akainu's new Marines. Doesn't have a known DF, so can be boosted massively with one.
Cons: None that come to mind.Onigumo
Pros: Is very "dark" (shot an fellow Marine), and has had reasonable screen time.
Cons: Already has a DF ability.This is just my own reasoning, of course, and probably all sorts of messed up.:lol: But yeah, Doberman is my best guess. The other new Admiral, I dunno.
-
Wondering if perhaps a new admiral has acquired the Flame-Flame fruit or possibly a strong character yet to be revealed.

Who the hell is Vice Admiral Horny? When I google the name I get One Piece porn.

I see three candidates for the two open Admiral positions:
Momonga
Cons: Hasn't been very "dark" at all, so he doesn't fit Akainu's Marines, it'd seem.Apart from the justice thing…He is clearly TOO freakin much of a weakling to be an admiral.Before you rage let me explain.
Yes he has not a DF and thus could recieve a major boost in strength.Yes,he hurt Luffy with ease.But then again 99% of the named guys during this war were probably able to kick the crap out of luffy,so that doesnt say much.
Now lets see what we actually know about the guy.He has haki as a VA,yet he clearly BLOWS @ it.When Hancock did her Mero Mero he could not shield himself from it with haki( he would have done so) and he had to stab himself to avoid being petrified.He is clearly middle aged and above,so i cannot see him improvin THAT much even after 2 years.
So even if Oda gives him the best freakinomfghaxxzor111!!! logia DF he will still be someone with a bad/average lvl of haki.And that for an Admiral( a guy that is supposed to be paired with a Yonku in terms of strength) is a no-go.
Doberman
Cons: None that come to mind.Yes i ll agree with that.He is the only guy we practically know nothin about(powerwise).Thus Oda can easily show him as really skilled haki user and maybe give him a really strong DF too.Dont mistake me though,i m not in any way sayin that i ll like it,but i ll be able to go along with it.
Onigumo
Cons: Already has a DF ability.Well not necessarily a con.We dont know that much about it and its uses,apart from the fact he can grow extra spider-hands.Playin off of that and addin the meanin of his name ( Araneus ventricosus,a spider indigenous to Japan),i ll go on and assume he has a spider-zoan DF which could easily give him a ton of abilities(web,poison etc).On top of that he was shown to possess enough speed to catch up with Marco and cuff him.To top it off he,like Doberman, can be shown to be really skilled with haki.
To sum it up.Out of those 3 the only 2 viable options are Onigumo and Doberman but they both come with the big condition of Oda givin them powers we have yet to see.And this is the major reason i dont even like them for the part of the Admiral.The biggest war since the beginning of the great pirate era just took place and durin that war they basically did NOTHING.What a better place/occasion to show their strength and help determine the winner by usin it.I mean what is the point of havin a tremendous skill in haki(worthy of being an admiral) if you dont use it during such a fierce war?
Just my 2 cents.Flame on ppl :ninja:

I have to disagree with you.
First of all, he didn't bow down to Hancock, he stabbed his hand (there's a difference). He did that because he knew that's the best (or only) way for him not to turn into stone. That doesn't mean he's weak; that means he knows his enemy and is experienced enough to think of a working solution in a nick of time.
About the haki thing: you do understand that VAs don't necessarily have all three types of haki. Maybe Momonga didn't have the one that would've helped him in this situation.
I agree in the justice and the middle-aged thing though. As well as in him not becoming Admiral.Yes i ll agree with that.He is the only guy we practically know nothin about(powerwise).Thus Oda can easily show him as really skilled haki user and maybe give him a really strong DF too.Dont mistake me though,i m not in any way sayin that i ll like it,but i ll be able to go along with it.
To be fair, we don't know that much about the other VAs as well (Yamakaji, Strawberry for example).
To sum it up.Out of those 3 the only 2 viable options are Onigumo and Doberman but they both come with the big condition of Oda givin them powers we have yet to see.And this is the major reason i dont even like them for the part of the Admiral.The biggest war since the beginning of the great pirate era just took place and durin that war they basically did NOTHING.What a better place/occasion to show their strength and help determine the winner by usin it.I mean what is the point of havin a tremendous skill in haki(worthy of being an admiral) if you dont use it during such a fierce war?
The Admirals needed the attention:ninja:
Seriously though, I can think of only one explanation: they weren't needed in the war for "showing off" and kicking pirate asses. They were needed to command the marines, to keep things together and to keep an eye on everything.
At least that's what I believe. -
To be fair, we don't know that much about the other VAs as well (Yamakaji, Strawberry for example).
Yeah i meant out of the 3 mentioned before.Plus i wanted to avoid even discussin about Yamakaji cause someone sooner or later would bring up the crazy theory of him gainin the Mera-Mera cause of his name's meaning(Forest Fire).Oops :ninja:

Yamakaji is too cool to have the fire fruit.
Besides, while we are discussing folks like Doberman and Onigumo here, Oda's probably drawing an infobox under the picture of Yamakaji saying: Marine HQ Admiral Yamakaji; also a speech bubble: "'Sup?" End of chapter 670:ninja:

@Nolus
Is Yamakaji the VA that kinda looks like young Fidel Castro?
Looks easy-goin with a cigar in his mouth and a beard around his chin.
He was also @ the EL-BusterCall, wasn't he?
From the looks he seems way too nice to become an admiral in Sakazukis marine.
From the outside I'd say that he shares the same way of justice as Kuzan. In both situations (BC @ EL and the war) he hasn't been shown that much (he was only concerned bout Tsuru-chan (old girl with the wash-DF)). Aside from that he is a book with 7 seals yet.IDK who would becum new admiral, but when Jinbe said that the government wanted to make the marines even stronger I wonder if they'll feed DFs to the non-DF-VAs.
Aside from that theory, I speculate that Onigumo becums admiral:
He is evil like Sakazuki with his abs-jus. and has a DF already.
Nickname could be:"Black spider" or "black widower" (male widow).
That'd be "kurogumo" in Japanese if IIRC. Cause Onigumo means poison spider IIRC.Doberman would be also a good choice, cause we know nuffin bout his strength, so Oda has enuff space 4 his development. He acted not as evil as Onigumo, but we neither saw him being very nice to his subords.
Aside from that he looks most badass with his scars and the blind eye. I'd like it if he became admiral with a stronger DF.Another choice for new admiral could be that Dalmatine-Zoan-VA.
Nickname could be "blond dalmatine" (I know, thats a very bad nickname!)I wonder if the new admirals will have nicknames @ all, cause the colour-and-animal-theme referred to Momotaro only fitted to the 3 former admirals. Sengoku also had no nickname, @ least we never heard his nickname on-panel.
Fitting names 4 Sengoku would have been:
-Gold Buddha
-White goat (I really thought Pwngoat was a weapon with a goat-zoan b4 the war!)
-White seagullBTW Zkaisers av looks good. Sengoku and Garp sumhow look like Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction.

Getting a Df does not necessarily mean getting a GOOD df. You can always get a penguin zoan or a cheese paremica (not really, but you get the idea).
Aside from that theory, I speculate that Onigumo becums admiral:
He is evil like Sakazuki with his abs-jus. and has a DF already.
Nickname could be:"Black spider" or "black widower" (male widow).
That'd be "kurogumo" in Japanese if IIRC. Cause Onigumo means poison spider IIRC."Kurogumo" sound pretty neat actually.
I agree.Another choice for new admiral could be that Dalmatine-Zoan-VA.
Nickname could be "blond dalmatine" (I know, thats a very bad nickname!)Now that I can't see happening. Dalmation is a nice character (as much as we've seen him), but I say he's nothing special. He seems like an average VA, great for the job, but nothing more.
I wonder if the new admirals will have nicknames @ all, cause the colour-and-animal-theme referred to Momotaro only fitted to the 3 former admirals. Sengoku also had no nickname, @ least we never heard his nickname on-panel.
Fitting names 4 Sengoku would have been:
-Gold Buddha
-White goat (I really thought Pwngoat was a weapon with a goat-zoan b4 the war!)
-White seagullI'm sure the new Admiral(s) will get a nickname if he/they don't/doesn't have one already. It may not be something like colour+animal though.
-
Are Admirals chosen by the Fleet Admiral? if so, then new admiral should have a concept, a view, of "Justice" like Akainu's, so i wouldn't be surprised if they are very cruel like those of the two Buster Calls.

Well, in Chapter 0, we saw Garp rejecting a promotion from Kong (the FA back then) himself, so I believe the FA has authority to promote his subordinates with maybe some consulting from the WG.

I don't actually think we'll see any pre-time skip shown Vice-Admiral as currrent admiral, but i could be wrong though.
If we think about power levels i think the only marine available shown pre-time skip that could be an Admiral is Magellan, actually i think Magellan quited his Impel Down's position and was then invited to be an Admiral. He seems to be completelly loyal to the Marine HQ and is strong enough to beat several strong charaters and give trouble to Teach himself, no doubt he's a strong contender imo.
The other spot, will probably be someone new and possibly some kind of "Marine genius" that went all the away from the bottom to the top because of his growth.
I wouldn't exclude Smoker as being the last one, even less if he learned haki, but we also don't know how close is Aokiji relationship with Smoker, and where Smoker's loyalty stands. -
I don't actually think we'll see any pre-time skip shown Vice-Admiral as currrent admiral, but i could be wrong though.
If we think about power levels i think the only marine available shown pre-time skip that could be an Admiral is Magellan, actually i think Magellan quited his Impel Down's position and was then invited to be an Admiral. He seems to be completelly loyal to the Marine HQ and is strong enough to beat several strong charaters and give trouble to Teach himself, no doubt he's a strong contender imo.

Being an Admiral isn't just about powers and such; you need to be familiar with the whole idea of the Marines. Being the chief-warden in a prison is very different to being an Admiral.
I still can't understand why people want Magellan. I see that he's more popular than the VAs generally, but still, him being an Admiral seems illogical to me.
