Epithet for new Admirals will most likely consist of the word; Fuji, Taka, and Nasu(bi).

Fine chapter with awesome color spread.

Consider this color spread as complementary of movie Z, I assume that those Marines were all trained by Zephyr, or at least exist when he was a Marine. Hence, some Marines like Kong, Tashigi, Coby, etc aren't included. ( Zephyr is the focal point of color spread, he looks old enough, probably around Kong's, Kuzan and Borsalino addressed him as sensei, he was also seen as a legend among Marines )

@Saturnchild:

Why is that people have such a hard time beliving that Caesar is tough just because he is a scientist? I mean Sanji is a cook, Nico Robin is an archeologist, Chopper is a doctor , Law is a doctor and so on. Your job has little to do with your level of strength. And I can easily see someone like Caesar training to fully master his logia if not else then for scientific curioisity. Also we still don't know the exact rules of Haki vs Logia. Does it hit like a normal punch as if the logia isn't there? Or is it weaker and part of the power is spent on getting through the logia defense? We have no idea

I remember back in the day, early - mid 2000s, when Ace was first introduced as WB 2nd Division Commander. As He displayed such feat and strength by one shotting 5 ships, few people thought he only work for WB out of respect. Ace was stronger than WB, that WB just a folly outdated old man, WB was old news. Then, WB turn out as Worlds Strongest Man, and War at Summit proved his strength and resilient.

Well, not a fair comparison, still if I can get my point through. Don't assume until proven otherwise.

@TheCrystalShip:

All I remember is that people thought he was a jerk who the Straw Hats would have to eventually fight.

Yes.

If both canon Shiki and Zephyr were to clash, who would most likely to win, and why?

@Foxy:

Shiki, because you touch yourself at night.

:ninja::ninja::ninja:

@TheCrystalShip:

Based on their respective performances against Luffy, I'm gonna have to say that Zephyr is stronger.

Fair enough.

I don't see why that would be the case in general. He is much stronger than Croc physically, possesing Rokushiki. He also has a DF to boot. Simply cause Croc has a Logia type DF doesn't mean that he would kill Lucci with ease. I agree with you that he may need some prep time, but there are other factor's. Like location and wther or not he has water on him.

In real world, strenght without the smart brain only lead someone to be a slave/ labour.. I mean smart how to organize thing smoothly.. Without it= Ghetto, trash of society, u know..

@silverson:

just how hard is it to discover crocodiles weakness?

I think it's the same as "how hard is it to discover Ace/ Aokiji/ Smoker weakness, except sea & seastone?"..

Match ur answer when Oda revealed it..

@Mr.:

If Crocodile gets wet, his defensive powers no longer work, hence why, when Robin tried to assassinate him, she threw a vial of water at him.

So, if Lucci's claw is covered in blood, he can attack Crocodile with that claw unhindered.

Yes, yes.. It does work.. But personally, i think not so easily.. U know, like Oz case, not only salt but amount of it..

*Gorlom beat me up..

@Sogeking:

If Lucci got Crocodile wet, or had blood on his claw, he could go too fast for Crocodile to follow and kill him.

This like the way people thought about how to defeat Oz only by a small amount bag of salt, not TON of it.. That's how i see it..

Jeez.. in order to defeat Croc, Lucci must cover up whole body with blood, not only his claw. More blood that could fainted him, like Luffy did.. That's how i think..

@Lobster:

What if Blackbeard abrorbs all of Luffy's nakama from the past and present? (like Buu or Cell)

-Gaimon
-Vivi
-Zeff
-Sanji
-Zoro
-Nami
-Flanky
-Cloco D. Lile
ect…

Blackbeard should be going around absorbing Straw Hats, in order to become "Perfect Blackbeard".

I mean, he WAS seeming a bit incomplete, during his battle with Ace…

It would be great seeing Luffy battle Perfect Black Beard for One Piece~
This is where Oda should take One Piece. Yeauh :0

Just as u planned, Lobster.. thumbs up

..and so is Edwar D. Newgate.. as Gol D. Roger..

or all we know they can expect captains or even petty officers to be able to survive it as well (atleast petty officers liky coby trained in the 6 forms)

Phew.. I just remember Coby which is Petty officer use Rokushiki even only reveal Soru.. And probably Garp too..
Imagine, more ppl in the Marine using it + any strong art.. How great mid->high tier is? :ninja:

At the same time, Lucci was the strongest among all of cp9..
