Speculations The next opponent of Strawhats

[mmd]

I say all possibilities!
If kid and law go with Luffy....If Luffy fights Blackbeard:
luffy VS bb

Avalo Pizzaro VS yamato
Sanji vs laffitte
Jinbe VS Burgess

Zoro vs Shiryu or Yamato VS Shiryu
Sanji vs laffitte
Jinbe VS Burgess
Nami VS Vasco Shot
Robin & brook VS Catarina Devon
franky vs San Juan Wolf
usopp vs Van Augur
Chopper VS Doc Q
??? VS Avalo Pizzaro

If kid and law go with Luffy.....If Luffy fights with the Navy and bb at the same time:
luffy VS bb & akainu
Kid vs kizaru

Yamato VS Shiryu or Yamato VS Green Bul
Sanji vs laffitte
Jinbe VS Burgess
Nami VS Vasco Shot
Robin & brook VS Catarina Devon
franky vs San Juan Wolf
usopp vs Van Augur
Chopper VS Doc Q
The Straw Hat Grand Fleet vs Avalo Pizzaro & blackbeard pirates

What is your prediction?

 

[Courier]

As a Sanji fans

Sanji vs blonde Gorosei
Sanji vs Shanks ( shanks hype tool)
Sanji vs Kizaru / Greenbull
Sanji vs Evil Sanji ( personality fight)
Evil Sanji vs Buddha Zoro
Sanji vs Shiliew ( invisibility fight oda will draw blank page to hype both of them )


Sanji vs CP0

 

[mmd]

Sanji vs Shanks ( shanks hype tool)

 

[Courier]

Its an honor for Sanji to be shanks hype tool. I predict it's just a clash. To show how strong shanks haki .

Some want Zoro to clash with shanks too . But, I think Zoro will be busy with mihawk .

 

[PuckTheGreat]

Alvaro Pizzaro v Yamato is an interesting choice but don't know, seeing as the level 6 prisoners were introduced together, I feel like they'll all be comparable so I don't think he'd be strong enough to fight Yamato if she does join the SHs. Tbf Alvaro Pizzaro stuck out the most so he might be cut from a different cloth from the rest so it's a possibility ^^.

I think Nami almost definitely fights Devon. Nami always fights the female subordinate of the antagonists group. Miss Double Finger -> Khalifa -> Ulti whereas Robin has a history of fighting both males and females and seeing as Devon is the only female Titianic captain, I reckon Nami fights here.

Don't think Kidd will participate in the fight against the BB pirates. I mean there's no reason for him to. Law on the other hand might, but I think it'd depend on whether this arc ends with him finding out about the history of the Ds. If not then there's a possibility he continues to tag along with Luffy ^^. Still tho, terms of the alliance was for him and Luffy to join hands to take down Kaido, which would be done after this arc, so chances are that the Luffy/Law alliance ends on Wano.

Lastly, I think Smoker will join in on the fight against the BB Pirates.
Oda loves parallels so he might parallel Roger & Garp joining hands to take down Rocks with Luffy & Smoker in which case we might get a Smoker v Aokiji clash of sorts ^^.

 

[kumae]

I don't think law will join vs BB pirates and aokiji won't get in SH way

 

[Finalbeta]

Extremely low chance BB will be fought soon. I think they will likely head to Elbaf and there's a low chance they encounter the BMP albeit not at their fullest. I'm actually betting on Weevil recently. 🤔

 

[Extravlad]

Well BB must fight Shanks before he fights Luffy

So either Luffy and crew sit around doing nothing or they fight Weevil/an Admiral

 

[Mezo]

Aokiji won't fight the strawhats.

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Kid and law won’t be present in the BB fight imo. They need to take their own journeys. And if Yamato does join the straw hats:

Luffy vs BB

Smoker vs Aokiji - Garp helped Roger at god valley and Smoker and Aokiji share a past. Will be a good fight and afterwards will make smoker the strongest marine in the world. Like Luffy vs BB makes Luffy the strongest Pirate

Yamato vs Burgess - Just like with Sabo, Burgess will shit talk Ace and piss Yamato off. If Yamato doesn’t join, Sabo will take this fight

Zoro vs Shiryu - Obvious

Usopp vs Van Augur - Obvious

Nami vs Pizarro - Cat themed and kicked out of their home for their greed. Pizarro fights using gauntlets which may allow Nami to win the fight by stealing them and taking his powers like she did with Zeus since Namis physically weak in an actual fight

Sanji vs Lafitte - Obvious

Robin vs Devon

Franky vs Sanjuan - Gigantic Batteship vs Gigantic Battleship

Brook vs Vasco - Rockstar vs jester, both entertainers

Chopper vs Doc Q - Doctor battle

Vivi vs Unknown Captain - Vivis rejoining the straw hats soon since it seems Imu has it out for her

Jinbe vs Moriah - Ex Warlord fight

 

[Pooth]

The only one who will fight Aokiji from the marines is Koby. I do not see anyone else

 

[Charlotte Horchata]

I highly doubt Aokiji will be a villain. He's allied with Blackbeard for who knows what purpose and his picture seems bigger than that; I mean, it wouldn't surprise me he ended up the next Fleet Admiral but was trying a machiavellian to clean the Marines.

About the next opponent, Weevil still needs to show up and Loki is a likely villain for Elbaf (even challenges the dream of Hajrudin and is a character that was obviously introduced to be fleshed out at some point in the story). Jumping from Kaido to Blackbeard is too fast, just like we never jumped from one Shichibukai to another; the question is whether this "transition villain" will be major (like Lucci) or minor (like Caesar).

Jinbe vs Moriah - Ex Warlord fight

Nami v Alvaro Pizarro 🤯
Never seen this matchup lol & although I’m almost certain she fights Devon, the cat connection is interesting ^^

Jinbe v Moriah is a possibility even more so given that they already have an history on MF ^^ but I think it’d ultimately depend on how much Moria cares about Absalom. If he really does, he won’t join the BB Pirates and considering he’s attacking the BB Pirates by his lonesome, he’s prolly very loyal to his subordinates so chances are that he croaks lol but u never know ^^. If he dies tho I think Burgess gets his fruit ^^

Also the spin u put on Yamato v Burgess is interesting ^^. Currently have Jinbe fighting Burgess but if Moria does join like u’re speculating then I can see this matchup ^^. Only problem tho is Burgess is too weak atm.

70 chapters for weevil? Lol. weevil should be brat by helmeppo or koby. In wano the time passes slower than in other islands so i hope koby has more feats than just beating boa.

Burgess will likely acquire a very powerful devil fruit. But his Hado Elbow is very similar with Yamato’s Nakabara Arrow and I think CoA wise they’re in similar levels.

Burgess is strong, Sabo is just a monster with his fruit.

As for Pizarro vs Nami they share an interesting similarities in their personalities and the fact that Pizarro says “nya” after every sentence is very interesting.

I think the biggest hint Oda has given for the matchups was in the chapter Luffys bounty of 1.5 billion gets shared to the world and we see Blackbeard silhouetted with 4 others:
1. Shiryu
2. Van Augur
3. Pizarro
4. Lafitte

Why didn’t Oda choose his original crew? Why sub Pizarro in for Doc Q? Because he was hinting at the fights for the 5 East blue straw hats imo. And among them:
Shiryu and Lafitte have special hype as Shiryu is the second strongest and Lafitte is the chief of staff.
Van Augur is clearly an Usopp opponent
And Pizarro and Nami share characteristics and possible fighting style as they both appear to be item based fighters.

 

[PuckTheGreat]

Elbaf giants

I’m still holding out for the following:
Luffy v Odin
Zoro v Thor
Sanji v Baldr
Usopp v Loki

Even if it’s only brief clashes 🙏🏿

 

[Sir Yasheen]

Elbaf giants

I doubt we’ll get any actual clashes for them except maybe Usopp and Loki

 

[Charlotte Horchata]

Nowhere is it stated that in Wano the time passes slower, does it?

And not necessarily 70 chapters; Zou was just a bit more than 20, for example. Weevil needs to be addressed at some point and I doubt he will be dealed with by the likes of Koby. It's not about feats but Koby being irrelevant enough to carry the plot of a character that wasn't fleshed out previously. That's why Boa fits the best: she already had her time to be introduced and interact with Luffy in a significant plot, but Weevil? Oda would need to be creative to develop his character like that.

As for Pizarro vs Nami they share an interesting similarities in their personalities and the fact that Pizarro says “nya” after every sentence is very interesting.

I've always had the feeling that most if not all the characters in the Blackbeard Pirates are based on Terry Gilliam's movies like Time Bandits and The adventures of Baron Munchausen; especially the latter, to which the comparison is obvious (Teach even has the same nose as the baron, apart from his philosophy). If we follow this intuition we have two potential reasonings for Nami versus:

-Against Devon: she's stated to behead beautiful women; notice that the queen of the Moon from Munchausen, which reminds of Devon's epithet, appeared as a beheaded woman. Nami is the beauty of the crew (I mean, even her wanteds are like fashion photographies), so it's natural that Devon would try to kill her; on top of it, Catarina Devon has a feline name yet a dog fruit...

-Against Pizarro: the god Vulcan as he too appears in Munchausen is a hairy, bearded man (red hair, in this case) who rules a corrupt kingdom of minery (Pizarro has drills for hands; coincidentally, Vulcan also has mechanic prosthesis in his arms) and is obsessed with diamonds; on top of it, his forced wife is Venus (Botticelli's, in fact), who he tries to seduce with the diamons (jewelry, money) and happens to be a beauty of "orange hair" like Nami.

So... make your pick. Both of them fit Nami pretty well.

As I said with how Oda made the silhouette of him, shiryu, van Augur, Pizarro, and Lafitte I think Pizarro is one of Teachs most notable and all others are opponents of the EB5
