    • RE: Chapter 539 "Emporio Tension Hormone" Discussion

      I've always looked at people's theories and the way they present their theories as a great indicator to the kind of imagination they have. And judging from what i've been reading for some time, you guys are scraping at the bottom of the imagination barrel.
      No offence meant, of course.

      It's easy to draw conclusions from what may happen.
      1. You have the mystery head jailor who's out for a vengeance after being imprisoned in his own jail. Who's mentioned to be as strong as Magellan. Who also happens to be in Level 6…
      2. Luffy and Ace's relationship with their father will probably become public knowledge. Perhaps due to intra-politics within the Marines Garp hasn't told his superiors who his son is. But possibly they do know, and have some plan in mind. But either they've hatched a plan to combat two powerful forces at once or they'll find out the truth and halt his execution only to combat Whitebeard and then take on Dragon.
      3. Someone else is out and about the jail. Previous chapter was mentioning someone/something being gone in Level 5. And then there was the other ruckus elsewhere while Luffy & Co were running about. We'll find out about it soon enough. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever it is have plans of their own that might effect some sort of delay.
      4. Marine HQ has surely had some developments regarding Whitebeard's fleet. Possibly they've bumped heads, but a small elite force (of either Marines or Whitebeards) is surely going to be deployed at Impel Down soon. Expect Whitebeards flag to be visible near ID.
      5. As someone with some common sense said, the other Strawhat Pirates are too far away to have any impact on the story as it currently stands. It's down to Luffy, the dragqueens, unknown assailant and the possible allis in form of the previous head goaler and Jimbei, though the latter is surely too weakened.
      6. The fight with the remaining monsters will be over and done with in a few panels if nothing else, so expect them to face Magellan in one chapter or so.

    • RE: Theories That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

      You know, everyone keeps thinking that they're going to go to Fish Island very soon, and considering all the foreshadowing and Jimbei involved, it really makes me wonder exactly HOW the SH are going to get there and in what condition.

      Let's say that somehow Luffy manages to release his brother (likely outcome) and escape only to have his brother run to Whitebeard to defend his "father" against the Marines. So Luffy joins Jimbei to escape into Fishman Island, with or without his partner (whomever they may be).

      The question then is what will the World Government do? Surely, the battle can not last long with such behemoths of power standing against each other. So when the battle is lost/won by whichever side, the Government will not simply let one of their renegade Shichibukai and the man responsible for the Tenryubito and Impel Down incidents just let slip away.

      I think they may be up against another battle once there. But either way, there must be a resolution soon or at least glimpse of how they will get down to Fishman Island soon. Specially with Luffy not having his crew available to him.

      Will he simply wait for them in Fishman Island or go back to Shabonday in the hopes of reuniting with them? The latter is possible, as he has Raleigh there to wait for him to finish his coating.

    • RE: Akainu/Sakazuki Discussion

      I am definitly hoping (and predicting) that the last Admiral is not a logia, but doesn't have a DF or has a paramecia and is just naturally powerful and badass he's reached where he was because of his tenacity and willpower alone to stand aside some of the most powerful people on the planet, being just a "normal guy".

    • Enel vs Kizaru

      Or any other logias fighting.
      Specially the ones who have fruit powers that are opposites.

      Like Aokiji vs Ace.

      Sure, at his current stage Ace would probably not even be able to do any significant harm on him, but with enough combat experience and a few years, he could take him on. Who'd win?

      Also, the more perplexing one, Enel vs Kizaru.
      Kizaru is made (presumably, but seems logical to assume that at this stage) out of light. And Enel is lightning. Both move at the speed of light, can explode shit and become light. So who'd win in a fight?

    • RE: Bleach Discussion Part 2

      I suspect that during this fight we will get to see atleast one member of the Zero Squad. If they show up, then it will probably be their weakest, say like the captain that was promoted to the Squad. I dont believe he was mentioned specifically being promoted if there wasnt a reason for it.

      Not to mention the fact that they are the Royal protection squad, and if the Shinigami are seen to be losing to Aizen they might be released in order to protect the King.

    • RE: Dr Vegapunk = Pirate?

      @BetterBetterNoMi:

      why would Kuma choose to become a cyborg? Coz he serves the governemnt now O_O

      He's the only shichibukai that actually listens to WG

      Exactly, why would he? Can't see a pirate easily or willingly submit themselves as easily and loyally (from what we've seen, perhaps not THAT loyal) as Kuma up and decide to become a cyborg purely to help the world government. So either he was forced into it, which would mean he could be reprogrammed to have some loyalty… But that's slightly farfetched of course. But still, farfetched is the name of hte game when it comes to this author.

    • RE: The next new Nakama?

      @Fire Fist:

      Even then, Piccolo hardly ever used his regenerative ability, and it certainly wasn't as advanced as Buu's (Cell, yes, because Cell was made from Piccolo and the others' cells, as the name implies). Kakashi's Sharingan, too, is much less useful than the Uchiha's Sharingan, and it knocks him out everytime he uses it. And Light had Misa, but Misa wasn't very bright, so her help wasn't perfect. She actually caused more trouble than she prevented.

      Maybe I did word it wrong, though. Basically, I'm trying to say a logia in the crew would disrupt the balance, unless it had severe restrictions. For example, a breath logia that couldn't be used outside, or a seaweed logia that can still be cut. Oda could find a way, but I still don't think he'd do it…

      Seaweed logia 😆

    • RE: Dr Vegapunk = Pirate?

      @BetterBetterNoMi:

      No, Vegapunk didn't create Kuma's existence. It's simple - Vegapunk works for the government, Kuma was ap irate who agreed to become a shichibukai, Vegapunk turned him into a cyborg. We can also see that Franky used to be a normal person before becoming a cyborg.

      Ah, but therein lies the mystery. Why would a perfectly normal (we can assume) ravaging pirate with close to 300 million bounty choose to become a cyborg? I'm sure that this was some involuntary action by either Kuma or Vegapunk.

      @BartholomewKuma:

      Why would the WG do such a bad thing.
      When Kuma was a pirate he was violent but the WG made him a good guy because the WG and Marines are the good guys here.

      If you think the Strawhats are kind, you are reading the wrong manga.

      Why would they do such a bad thing? Like why would they annihilate an entire island and it's population simply because they had certain knowledge? Gee, i don't know…

      I never said anything about good/bad... However, the WG has done far more injustice from what we've seen in the manga than anyone else. They are willing to do anything it takes to get supremacy over the pirates, which would add more credibility to the theory that they'd force a brilliant scientist to work for them.

    • Dr Vegapunk = Pirate?

      I was jsut reading the chapters with that Kuma guy, and he's revealed to be a cyborg. His maker is none other than Dr Vegapunk. He also has a previous bounty of 296 million beri.

      That would suggest two things;

      1. That Vegapunk has been at some point a pirate. Unless his own creation ran away from him and became a pirate, which is unlikely because the World Government would not want a scientist who can't control his own creation to the extent that he goes and gets a bounty…

      2. He's a brilliant scientist employed by the world government. But i'd like to think it's an involuntary service, thus Luffy and the rest can go and save him (goes with scenario 1).
        But this scenario would mean that Kuma was a previous pirate that got captured by the World Government and made a cyborg. This is also backed up by the fact that he's got a devil fruit. But then Vegapunk has been able to "feed" swords devil fruits, so that shouldn't be much of a stretch.

      But i'd like the whole ex-pirate pressed to work for the government thing to happen.

    • RE: Chapter 481 "Shadow's Asgard" Discussion

      @Vegard:

      Someone else might have brought this up already, but I didn't read the chapter before now, and I wonder, if Moria absorbed the shadows of EVERYONE on TB, doesn't that mean that they will all be released and return to their original owners in like, 10 minutes? Although, I think that seems alot better than just beating him to near-death, and THEN have him release the shadows himself.

      The reason would most likely be because unlike Luffy he is a shadow master. He may be able to hold 'em indefinitely. Luffy's body couldn't take it because he doesn't have the ability. Moria does. Thus, beating shall commence.

    • RE: General Blackbeard Thread

      Well, one needs to remember that Shanks does not have a devil fruit. So BB can't render him powerless. Not to mention that if he decided to suck him in, Shanks would probably just put his sword right in front of him and impale BB. After all, he can take damage just like any other human being.

      He is strongest against other Devil fruit users, that's the catch. Unless he learns some highly powerful techniques such as black hole cage (or something similar), it won't do him much good against the demonic-like strenght users such as Mihawk, Zorro (soon anyway), Shanks and WB.

      But BB in his current state probably would get defeated, although after a long fight.

    • RE: Chapter 441 "Duel on Barona Island" Discussion

      Is it just me that's wondering about why BB was the person to set this "trigger" off?

      Blackbeard is a D. Does that make him the first evil D? And if so, that means he will at one point or another clash with the other D's… Yes, it's obvious because he'll probably meet Luffy at some point, but my question is why oh why Blackbeard?

      It could have been any freakishly strong pirate, but why it had to be Blackbeard facing off against Ace. Does this mean the D's will have a earth-shaking impact? We've already seen three D's reach that level; Gol D Roger, Dragon and Luffy (to an extent due to Ennies Lobby).

      Is BB the next?

      And yes, i really do dislike the idea of setting BB up as the bad guy.

      Most likely Oda will bring something surprising out of the hat. I wouldn't be surprised if Blackbeard crew and Strawhats ended up fighting with each other against the gyojin…

      After all, the BB crew are too small for the Strawhats to fight them equally (numerically that is). One would presume the other crew members have something to do in the meanwhile...

      @Mmod:

      http://www.apforums.net/showpost.php?p=417266&postcount=64

      I read this post and this added to something I was thinking: White Beard is not the most powerful. He is old and cippled, can barely walk, despite being able to do extremely strong and fast movements.

      Consider this idea, maybe all those medications are infact steroids to make him strong enough to fight for a few minutes, at his maximum, before total exaust. Even so, he has a strong and loyal crew, so much that he can hide his weakness, and still keep his old title of "The world strogest".

      When was he unable to walk and crippled? Hell, did you even read that chapter where he and Redhair clashed swords?

      Until proven otherwise, Whitebeard IS the strongest there is.

    • RE: Usopp destined to fight Blackbeard sniper

      Jesus is Franky. Blackbeard is Ace's fight. Assuming he loses the first time, It's definitely Ace's fight, unless he's unable to fight a second time (In which case it become's Luffy's). Lafitte is definitely Sanji, cause Sanji always gets the weird guys. And Doc Q has a huge sword on his back, he'll probably be Zoro's opponent rather than Chopper's. I can imagine him taking some mariacle drug that makes him super strong for a few minutes, and Zoro has to contain him until it wears off.

      Franky would probably be too much of a power house to take on Jesus. Jesus is a brawler. Franky is more technical (quite literally too). Sanji is the closest to a brawler they've got and thus sensible to have them two fight.
      I'm very sure Doc vs Doc will happend and not Zoro vs Doc. Doc is a sick man, and probably not even close to Sanjis level. Despite the sword (i've actually not seen it, has it been shown?).Oda'll probably play it out Chopper disbelieving and disagreeing with the Doc's killing methods (remember Jaya arc) and them fighting each other.
      You're right about Sanji getting the wierd fellas, but consider his evolution as a fighter too. He's never fought anyone who's relied more on brute strenght than technique. Always technique like the transvestite in Baroque Works and that wolf fella from CP9. They relief on their techniques. There are many physically strong people out there, and Sanji needs to take them out. In order to do that, he has to fight a top tier brawler. That'd be Jesus.

      Jesus - Sanji (Big guy with big strong (thin legs by the way) fights the guy with powerful legs. It's a given)

      Luffy - Blackbeard. (Do i need to really explain this?)

      God knows what will happend to Franky, Robin and Nami to pull them off the fight, but unless Blackbeard pulls in some new crew mates, those three won't have to fight anyone.

      Hmm… Did anyone notice the use of days to move the story?
      If the beginning of this chapter was around the date of Whitebeard/Shanks fight and Ace catching up with Blackbeard, we will have one of two;

      1. The fight is over and we have some sort of solution on the two situations (the chapter will probably focus on only those two or one of them). That's probably to increase the tension of the Strawhats new ship and/or which ever situation is untold.

      2. All three stories are tied together and Oda whips up one great story solving the fight (they will both lay off and we'll have an explanation of the strenghts of the two), Blackbeard is cleared of the "murder" he commited as well as seeing the new Strawhat ship 🙂

      Considiring all things, Begabunk or whatever his name was might have some sort of relation to the Merman Island. Not to mention Jimbei.
      Chances are that there are some Marines on the Merman island. It's a long shot, but perhaps Begabunk is even living and working there… Jimbei would have some sort of relation or even a place there.

    • RE: Chapter 431 "Fist of Love" Discussion

      It is possible that with Luffy being a pirate, he and Ace must've had some inspiration for piracy among their family. So it would seem logical to assume they got it from their grandfather/father or some relative. And as with all of real life's situations, anyone in high power with ANY relations to criminals aren't trusted.
      That could be the reason that despite his actions (such as cornering the Pirate King) the Government would not put him in a position that would allow him to influence too much, yet give him a respectable job.
