He used the left hand to crush the glass.
His jaws are covered with metal. (armor or otherwise)
He is Axe-hand Morgan. :ninja:

@Kitsune::

They had 300 m b actually.
Ussop just lost 200 m, and they still had 100 m.

How can someone miss that. That's the exchange of their loot from skypeia :ninja:

Zoro with a seastone sword/hilt = Killer. But it wouldn't work on MH though…

If Fourth gear (or I hope the Final Gear) is on the works, I hope Luffy can somehow mix the powers of the 2nd and 3rd gears. That would be awesome.

Saying that Brook has a long term goal as of this point is clear speculation. Who says that Brook's fighting with a sword invalidates Zoro's existence? I'm just saying that if he's gonna be a swordsman. It is highly probable Zoro and he will clash swords at one point or another.

The next new Nakama will be a merman.

I think Brooke will be like Vivi. He'll be nakama but not permanently. He just wants to find his shadow. He has no permanent long-term goal like everyone else. Luffy wants to be the pirate king. Zoro the world's greatest swordsman. Nami to draw a map of the whole world. Ussop to be a great warrior of the sea. Sanji wants to go to all-blue. Chopper wnats to become a real man/doctor/pirate. Robin wants to find the ancient stone which tells the history of the void century…

In addition, he is a swordsman. Zoro will have to defeat him. If not, Zoro's goal will be tarnished.

It's Oda who thought about Gear 2 before water 7.

In latin, non sequitur. None of your (established) facts point to the conclusion that OP is at the beginning of the end. Your inference is flawed. That's what the F is for.

This Statement is the downfall of your thread

"3. I have heard that Merman Island, which is next, is halfway along the grand line. There is also likely to be another Shichibukai there."

The conclusion that follows is that OP is at the middle of the grand-line adventure, not the end of OP.

F

OT is a complex-compound question with a hidden desired conclusion from the OP. Let me illustrate in a simple manner how this logical fallacy scheme is intended to work:

Shichibukai = strong.
Strong = can get one piece.
Shichibukai = cannot get one piece.
therefore,
Shichibukai = not strong.
