@Skull:

Jinbei thinks Ace is stronger than Luffy after seeing both fight. Told you guys. And Blackbeard lets attacks hit him like always, just like against Ace.

Also there has to be something more to Blackbeard's strength/fighting ability that the series hasn't shown yet or Shanks having any kind of problem in a fight against him at all (especially with Blackbeard having no Devil Fruit) makes no sense.

i disagree he said to not waste the opportunity to rescue ace.

@flandrian15:

crocodile is going to save them by sucking out the poison. BB could be there for any number of reasons, for all we know ID is an ancient weapon that has sunk and the WG doesn't know about it or the obvious lvl6 prisoner or maggelan himself. . .

this, i was thinking this the second he said in few hours we will shock the world lololol

but now that he is poisoned, i know he won't be there to fight whitebeard

thank you doflamingo

@GetsugaZoro:

Thats not being a coward thats being overconfident.

yup, gonna go with this one here.

in fact since he knows he can be defeated i expect a way more dangerous eneru.

i don't know if he will directly interact with the mugiwara clique in an arc, but for sure he will return to wreak havok.

expect an easter egg.:ninja:

@flandrian15:

I wouldn't, I think Eneru's lightning could actually totally rip Odz to shreds and Moria might be able to use doppleman as a distraction, decoy or defence quite fast but faster then lightning? I think not.
Also, Luffy was only able to beat Eneru because he was his natural enemy and Eneru is a Logia fruit user so considering the fact that Moria does not use Haki and that he isn't made of non-conducting material (like Luffy) and also remebering that Eneru can strike at 2 places at the same time probably I would say Moria will be Pwned. Also, and perhaps this is awry by me but I remember Moria getting inside Odz and manually controlling him from a controlroom. controleroom = electricity –> lightning = short circuit and blown fuses = no control ????

Anyway, Eneru would totally burn Moria and Odz to a crisp and Moria will have no way of even touching Eneru because of his Logia defenses

that and mantra tells him what your doing ages before you get around to doing it.

eneru is way overkill, thriller bark would disappear in a blink

@Greg:

Um…himself?

He said it was because he was anxious to get to the New World...

… aww man, he needs to not listen to that guy lol

@Greg:

Not 'color' spreads. Regular two-page spreads.

i really wish he would do more of both!

i wonder which idiot at jump convinced him more spreads and color pages in ID stretching out the awesome would be "bad" idea, /facepalm

anyone remember how long and epic the freeza vs ss goku was? can i get an amen?

sometimes when things own as much as ID does, it's ok to stretch the awesome.

@onemoment:

Now, isn't Shanks busy fighitng Kaidou?

Good post otherwise, that sentence is my only problem with it. It's true, this war could go any way.

Nuts to those who think the shichibukai side has this undeniable advantage.

i though about that also but decided to ga ahead and state that, .. i don't think shanks would miss it .. he looks too much like ace .. don't know why i stated that ..

especially if he learns luffy is caught up in it.

i mean he did give up an arm for the guy.

@dlo62282:

To be honest Ivotas, the marines seem pretty sure of themselves besides Sengoku. And he is just nervous because things are not going like he planned it to. I dont think he is worried as much as u think he is. He wants things to go as planned and to limit casualties on his side.

When you are playing chess, you want to use all your pieces ideally. The WG is a FORCE. Their main threat is ANOTHER force called the revolutionaries. Whitebeard or the other yonkous are no threat to destroy the goverment. The wg is battling things on multiple fronts and they still seem pretty comfortable. They are already in a long war with the "dragons". They captured ace and they were like might as well end whitebeard while we can make him come to us.

They have to be overstacked because liked they said. The other yonkou are moving as well and they dont know who else is going to attack. They are being cautious, as they should. Whitebeard doesnt have much of a chance.
Ace doesnt think so. Jimbei doesnt think so. They both know his power more than most people, so that means something. The wg will be fine.

… sorry but i disagree, the "emperors" are called that for a reason. they are just force, no rule, and they clash with each other all the time.

sengoku is probably the strongest marine and he is freaking out. he was mentioned with garp and roger as "one of those".

i agree with the sentiment in rehards to the fact that the new px series will be unleashed like the clones in the clone wars.

i agree that what they started was a trap. but, and i repeat, but.

the revolutionaries are on their way.

shanks is on his way.

luffy (revolutionary jr. and WG compound demolisher. lol) is on his way (and he's bringing hell with him)

and you better believe the Mugiwara clique (newly powered-up) will be there.

and lets not forget, edward newgate is the man feared by all because he is the strongest man in the world (as stated by Oda). and his divisions of leaders on par with ace (who is admiral level ... (lol at croc trying to take ace /facepalm)

then there are the people that come out of the woodworx just to put the nail in the coffin of the WG.

i know i would.

@SunWuKong:

Is luffy really shichibukai level?

well lets put it this way, shichibukai get their level by taking out pirates.

luffy takes out shichibukai, … and WG compounds.

i would say he is distinctly something else.

@Greg:

I have a feeling we're in the thick of what Oda said at JF.

If you recall he mentioned that he had many ideas for ID and that he wanted to draw one spread after another but was afraid that would hold back the pace and therefore would try to limit himself.

These past two to three months we've just been getting spread after spread in chapter climaxes and mid-chapter reveals.

This useless observation brought to you for no reason.

appreciated, it was something i was also thinking of.

i actually want him to "waste time" being EPIC!! as hell however.

@Jdanzi:

Blackbeard gave Shanks the scars over his eye, therefore without hsi fruit he was on par with shanks. Therefore for it to even be close - bare in mind bb has df now aswell -, shirryu has to be as strong as shanks.

well he is "the" head goaler

@dirt:

C) Blackbeard and crew are distracted by Magellan and Shiryuu, so Luffy and Blackbeard never meet, but Luffy and his new buddies find the missing Marine Battleship waiting for them. They hitch a ride to Marineford, and the Marines there welcome it back, not knowing they're inviting pirates and revolutionaries inside.

:devil: hmmn, i see fun on the horizon.

@AlmostLegendary:

shiryu is going to join BB crew.

he definitely doesn't want to go back into the cell, i think blak beard will beat him then ask, like he did ace
