@Fire Fist:
Yeah, well, when the friggin panel says:
[The "Duel of Banaro Island" on the Grand Line.]
[This battle between two pirates]
[Would be labeled the trigger]
[that set off an enormous, unforgettable event in the future.]Dead or not, some shit is going down.
this reminds me of something i thought of recently,(dont know if someone already thought of it, or if im pointing out the obvious) that when word of this gets to shanks, he will attack/go to war with wb. if one dies, especially shanks(because this would make wb a true enemy in luffy's eyes instead of an obsticle)but would throw everything out of balance causing chaos.
this would also thin out the story lengthwise, being luffy won't fight every warlord,admiral, etc introduced or otherwise and would also give them a better chance in the new world (they kind of had a hard time with the buster call fleet,comparing to what is implied of the 4 emperors crews.) because everyone will be exploiting this tilt it power. i apologize for the length and if it was already posted.
