@Roronoa:
[…] On the other hand IMO the new world main villains will be admirals (at least Sakazuki) and the yonkou (I expect BB to reach Yonkou-status after these 2 years and Kaidou, BigMam and Shanks won't be a threat if BigMam is Lola's mom). I don't count Buggy, Croc, Morgan, Coby or Smoker, because except the latter one Luffy has beaten all of them.
Well i guess kaidou will be an opponent for Luffy, because he went against Shanks which should be a little hint that he isn`t on the "good site".
Smoker will always try to fight Luffy but he will take a role just like Garp was to Gol.D…so sure no arc-villain.
Coby i expect to be the future fleet-admiral(still in a far far away future).
@Roronoa:
But now with BigMam protecting FI and the ruckus that started recently there, I'm afraid that at least a BigMam commander will come there and find out who is responsible for that ruckus.
BigMam wont be mentioned in this arc for nothing..i think a commander would be a good guess, because either BigMam is a friend of the SHs(because being Lola
s mum) or in my opinion its still far to early to beat already a yonkou in the first arc after the timeskip.(they also didn
t fight directly a shichibukai(croc) after entering the GL)
So i somehow exclude her to be this arcs main-villain.
@Roronoa:
With the current power level of each SH, I think nobody there we know right now is a real threat for the crew.
Thats the point…we still cant judge how strong the crew got over those past two years...so we first need some villains which would be a good reference for us how strong they all are now. For that we definitely need a big caliber as main villain for this arc(even more so when we think about how long we waited for FI). I would prefer a fishman but i wouldn
t be surprised when its in the end a guy we haven
t seen much so far, because as we now see it could be someone who likes to stay in the shadows and pulls from there the strings.
That WG-guy DoFla was talking to would be a fitting candidate...a commander like you mentioned i somehow like..well, hard to say but we have to wait a bit more for him to show his face, that iam sure of.
@Roronoa:
And that thing with Dofla: IMO only his hardcore fans (or haters) expect him now to be the main villain in this arc.
Lol, i would say you can call me a fan of this guy, but iam not seeing him the villain(because of the reasons i mentioned in my previous post):happy:
