      I think he was talking about another one like Katakuri's. Food you can fight with.

        An army of beast and SMILE users isn't enough for you? I get it tho. Creativity like with Cracker and Kata is good to have

          There is nothing to shine with if all zoans do is boot your normal powers. And seeing how kaidos top 3 guys only have dino fruits it doesnt seem likely that we will see cool mythical ones

          Sure there is. If Rob Lucci can impress everyone, then so can King, Queen, etc. Anyhow, it's not like they'll only have their Zoan powers. Queen has his technology, King has his flames, and Jack probably has some Fishman techniques. You don't need to be a Mythical Zoan user to stand out

            That is true. Actually the most unlikely DFs turned out to be the greatest ones. It always depends how creative the user uses his ability 🙂
            Zoans are more or less rather limited, but the hybrid-forms are always enjoyable to see for the first time.

              When characters don't rely too much on their DF and compliment it with other things>>>>>>

              As great as Robin is with her abilities, I would like to see her do something else that is away from it and can possibly compliment it later on.

                I wonder if we will even see "Asura" again. I never really understood it. Was it a power in Zoro or his Swords?
                .

                Asura is definitely a power of Zoro and not of his swords because he used twice with a different sword for the second one.
                Wado Ichimonji, Sandai kitetsu and Yubashiri for the first and replace Yubashiri with Shusui for the second.

                I don't know if we will ever see it again but I hope we do. I find it kind of odd how both Luffy and Sanji incorporates their Enies Lobby power ups into their base fighting set, but Zoro didn't. If someone pushes him into a corner we might see it though.

                  All of the crew except for Zoro still use their enies lobby "power ups" to some degree. I think Oda simply doesn't like it very much. He seems to prefer Zoro as just a swordman not some guy creating "illusions".

                    Maybe Mihawk saw Asura while training Zoro and told him about it and how it is not safe to use it, for example, with other people around him, idk.

                      I find it funny we still have far more backstory on Doflamingo, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and Shanks than we do Crocodile.

                        Considering in Impel Down Ivankov said she has information about his past that he apparantly doesn't want made public, my guess is it'll play some part in the future.

                          Im like 90% sure that whatever arc the Revolutionaries will be a part of (Kuma/Vegapunk/whatever the hell post-reverie is setting up), Crocodile will be around too, that way Ivankov will end up revealing it lol.

                            Luffy being the next Yonkou.

                            Any Pirate who defeats the pre-existing Yonkou is automatically a prime candidate for new Yonkou. We can already see this with Blackbeard. Although he finished off a dying Whitebeard, it still took some doing, and propelled him to a very dangerous individual, which he solidified to Yonkou status by defeating the remnants of Whitebeard Pirates.
                            Luffy is already considered a very dangerous individual pre-timeskip. Now with the Whole Cake Island incident where Big Mom failed to finish him off, and his victory against Katakuri and Cracker, along with his 5640 strong Grand Fleet, Luffy remains the next in line.

                            If he manages to defeat Kaido (along with most of his crew which seems the current possibility), Luffy will be termed as the new Yonkou, as Wano Kuni will definitely declare their allegiance with Luffy, as Fishman Islands already did which I think will be revealed through Jinbei’s official joining.

                            So, Entire Grand Fleet, Two Countries under protection, ability to make alliance with Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates, and Firetank Pirates, Luffy will be declared the next Yonkou.

                            Whichever side wins becomes the Justice.

                              I would say yes, but I don't think Luffy really cares for that title.

                                Moria lost to Kaido. Dug up Kaido's old nakama and added it to his army. Kaido doesn't seem like the type to feel disrespected by something like that, but wow.

                                  Today I read about a man who lived in Granada in the 14th century called Ibn al-Khatib, and one of the names people used to call him is "the one with two lives". The reason for that is that he couldn't sleep well and ended up awake most of his nights, so he would use the extra time he had to write books and to do other things, to the point that most of his books were written in those nights.

                                  Obviously, I'm not saying that this is the inspiration for Blackbeard because their could be other similar cases more related to piracy, but I do find it interesting that two people from two different backgrounds would look at not sleeping in the seem light, as if it's an extra life.

                                  What is Oden saying to WB?

                                  Become my son Whitebeard.

                                      I've a feeling Kidd's going to pull off something sneaky and nasty to steal some of Luffy's thunder tho, like say backstabbing him at some point to take credit for the villain's defeat or something. Set himself up as a true antagonistic rival that Luffy'll have to contend with for the title next arc, which I'm betting will be Kano; only fitting that Luffy would achieve the status of Gokou in the land of Son Gokou.

                                      Whatever happens, I'm banking on Kidd walking away with Kaido's club to cement his claim. Hell, wouldn't be surpised if he steals it off Kaido and uses it to bash either his, Luffy, or Big Mom's head in at one point when they're vulnerable. Might be this'll spur another bout of amnesia on BM's part. Ha, now that I think about it, watch him walk away with both Kaido and Big Mom's signature weapons so he can wave them around for the newspaper headlines.

                                              Why does this matter? If you care so much then just edit it.

                                                It matters because it's incorrect. Also, this is the perfect thread for things like this. Am I breaking some rule? You seem irritated by the notion that someone posted a notion in the notions that don't deserve their own thread section. Why would this bother you? Most of your responses to my post are out of nowhere and gives hints of superfluous exasperation.

                                                  Can we say for sure that's a wing though? It doesn't look at all like the wings on other Sky People.

                                                    If it was just 1 tip, I wouldn't have noticed. Also, how are they different? He's in the original chapter and the volume, but not in the anime.

                                                      I feel like I see way too many theories that Character With Pink Hair is a secret Charlotte child - I respected the Bonney theory, but everything else seems rather far fetched or silly - and so I got the thought to check how many out of the 85 Charlotte children actually have pink hair. The answer is six - Broye, Chiffon, Lola, Marble, Brownie, and Anana. Based on what we know so far, pink hair is only the fifth most common out of the family.

                                                        Go wild with Secret Charlotte?

                                                        There is a character with an absurd appetite, who we know the father of, and we have heard exactly zero about his mother.

                                                        That is right, I am saying Monkey D Luffy is Big Mom's kid.

                                                            Go wild with Secret Charlotte?

                                                            There is a character with an absurd appetite, who we know the father of, and we have heard exactly zero about his mother.

                                                            That is right, I am saying Monkey D Luffy is Big Mom's kid.

                                                            I'm not saying there's any indication he's Yuen's twin, but I'm also not saying there's NO indication he's Yuen's twin.

                                                              Are you saying Garp hit that after the god Island Incident?

Pound was 22 when he was married to Big Mom, so for all we know Perospero could have had a stepdad 20 years younger than him when Anana was born.

I'm glad the places I frequent didn't have OP fans when I first started. I'm better at dodging spoilers when I want to, but there's some newer fans that don't have that in mind. There's no way around it if you're not used to the different spaces where OP is discussed.

Nothing at the Totland chase actually established their dynamic at sea (Nami commanding and Jimbe listening) despite it being a natural consequence of their jobs.

For the longest time, I don't see how Tashigi will be relevant to a future Zoro storyline with the level of strength she has now, except as maybe a hostage which I frankly hate.

                                                                                                        However, after rewatching Zoro's flashback it occurs to me…it'd really suck if Mihawk died before Zoro fought him again. Like, it'd be Kuina dying a second time, and suddenly both Zoro and Tashigi share the pain of failing at their goals due to outside (to put it short) circumstances.

                                                                                                        I think this is more a notion than a theory, cause in spite of the shichibukai system being abolished Mihawk seems pretty safe right now.
