RE: Who is the final villain 3.0
@Flamin-Fist:
In Chapter 224, BB was presented as a very distinguished opponent. He appeared to stand out with more admirable ideals. Almost like a version of Luffy with a bad moral compass. At that time, I would have certainly pegged BB as the final villain. Even as recently as the Impel Down jail break, BB stands out as a master strategist. His improv skills are reminiscent of one Captain Jack Sparrow. Despite all this, I felt Oda backtracked on that reputation when he portrayed BB at Marineford, where we saw BB’s true colors of cowardice. Since Marineford, I’ve had a hard time accepting that a coward like BB is worthy of being the final villain. I want to see BB bring back those original vibes, if he does I could see him fitting the role of final villain. But he was portrayed so in such a bad light at Marineford it almost made me wonder if Oda himself changed his mind and decided to take BB in a different direction. Unless BB gets some good character development, right now my money is on Im.
Teach has probably the best development of any of the minor characters. Arguably more than some of the SH crew. Teach has always shown his cowardice even against Ace.
Roger's spirit lives on in both Luffy and Teach. All share the same goal to be Pirate King so that they can be the most Free. But all went about it differently. Luffy going the most pure straight forward route. Roger was middle of the road, some bad stuff like killing crews but mostly good, likely the line right between Shanks and Buggy honestly. lol. However while Luffy is the most pure and straight forward, Teach is the most corrupted and underhanded. Roger wanted himself to be the most free, Luffy wants the same but he also wants everyone to be free in the process. Teach wants to be the most free by being the one in control, similar to the spot Imu has now.
This disagreement between the Blackbeard camp and the World Government camp makes sense because both camps are supported by things Oda has been very clearly setting up for.
First, Blackbeard has been shown as the anti-Luffy, and while that is not guarantee of final villain status (Katakuri is also a mirror of Luffy, for example), it gives him some support. He was also portrayrd as a long term planner, someone with a similar sized main crew that very obviously suggests match ups with Luffy's crew, and Luffy's biggest rival for the title of PK. It makes sense for the manga to end with a series of 1v1 fights between the Strawhats and the Blackbeards.
But on the other hand, the plot has very strongly implied to be heading to a final war against the WG. We have the void century, the rio poneglyph, Luffy being hinted to be a type of chosen one, the WG being responsible for more evil in this manga than any other characters come even close to, and Luffy's ultimate skill of gathering allies anywhere being the key to win such an impossible war.
So it is obvious both confrontations are going to happen. But which one will happen first? Does BB take down the WG by himself and then become the final villain? Is it a three-way war? Or is BB just the penultimate boss?
Personally I lean on BB being the penultimate boss, but I could see the other possibilities. The way Oda is writing it makes a lot of ways possible.
I agree. I think BB's only chance for final villain is to align with and betray either the SH's or the WG again in the end.

RE: Who is the final villain 3.0
It has to be either Imu or BB. Blackbeard is the main enemy but Imu might be final villain due to what he embodies and stands for in the story.
It seems clear that Teach is the final Pirate villain but the WG will be it's own tyrant entirely. Unless, and this is a big unless, but the old theory of Joyboy being the D. that betrayed the D. clan, failed to carry out his promises, and also actually helped the Ancient Kingdom win. A lot goes into this theory and it seems kinda unlikely to me but it requires Joyboy to be the Original Nefertari and Vivi's clan to be D.'s as well as Teach pretending to align with Luffy temporarily, only to of course betray the Strawhats. lol.

RE: Chapter 942: Daimyo of Hakumai, Shimotsuki Yasuie
@Kaido:
I would wager Oda only made Toko Yasu's daughter in order to get Zoro to the Flower Capital (and maybe Hiyori, she's awfully close to her own funeral right now)
I've felt pretty confident since the beginning with the "I'm not a boy" jokes that Toko was Witching Hour Boy. Yasu being her father and mistaken for him only helps my theory I feel. Only problem is Witching Hour Boy is stated by the citizens of Wano to be male, but I feel like that's mostly due to the name. Also as close as Hiyori is to her funeral, I feel that she's completely safe until she reunites with Momonosuke

RE: Volume 92 Predictions/Discussion
And green would´ve looked too ´Dragon-Ballish´
I was expecting any color but blue tbh.
U guys are all weird. I was expecting either Black, Blue or Purple. I knew he wouldn't be Shenron Green, but I did think he'd be darker than he is, the light blue is a nice surprise

RE: Official Wano Thread
ZeHaHaHaHa! Moriah and BlackBeard team-up. Teach making allies just like Luffy.
So what do you guys think the bounties for Queen and King are? So far I'm just expecting higher than Jack but lower than Luffy.
Also is Dressrosa the worst arc of the New World? Can we all agree on this?

RE: Chapter 924 : Ha*
If he reveals to be a dragon who ate a devil fruit that turned him into human, then he shouldn't have it..
My understanding is that only humans can be born with conqueror hakiTo my knowledge CoC has never been said to only be in humans. I know that Oversized humans like WB and BM are technically still humans but I feel like any race and living thing has the chance. So we could see Fishmen with CoC or Giants or Minks or Dwarves. OR A DRAGON!!!

RE: Chapter 924 : Ha*
I think all D's have CoC, I also think all the Yonko have it. I would be kinda surprised if Kaido didn't have it. I feel like all the Yonko can use all 3 types of Haki. Even if it isn't their main strength.

RE: Chapter 923: Emperor Kaidou VS Luffy
In this forum we measure power in Cavendishes only.
Can't we just use the Impel Down scale. Like ranking the characters by where we think their power level would land them in Impel Down. However in this scale I consider Yonko 1st mates and Admirals as a 6.5 and Yonko as a 7.
I feel like his timing was off by just that much that he had to sacrifice his arm in order to save Luffy. It's similar to how our heroes are always/usually winning by a hair without sacrificing too much; but you just have to accept timing exists for the sole purpose of plot, thus Shanks's situation. Or something. I'm old.
We don't know Shanks' level back then and I would agree that he had to lose the arm to save Luffy. Also I think the fact that Shanks sought out Rayliegh after losing his arm should hint to Luffy's training with Rayliegh as following in Shanks' footsteps
