Future Events Is Oda trying to remove Kid and Law from the One Piece battle?

[Mugiwara56]

Since Egghead I have the impression that Oda wants to put the last competitors of Luffy forward that we know from the beginning, Shanks and Blackbeard.

The fact that just after beating Big Mom in 2v1. Kid and Law both end up facing Shanks and Blackbeard and that the purpose of the fight is to have a poneglyph in the race for One Piece makes me think that.

Meanwhile Luffy is on Vegapunk Island.

What do you think ?

[NAMELESS]

yeah,fuck Law and Kidd.Shanks and BB are the real antagonists.

 

[nik87]

They will beat them and break their will and they will become their commanders and that way they will stay relevant in the battle for OP.

 

[ZoroMazino]

Not they will be back for the last war

 

[Deleted member 65730]

People said Law & Kid would be Luffy's WB and Shiki

 

[JayKitetsu]

Both of them are most likely going to lose I just don’t know what their role will be between now and the final war

 

[OnePiss]

They will be relevant to help beat Gorosei or Greenbull and Fuji but they will stop being Luffys rivals in the next 1-2 arcs

 

[HellBlazer04]

Both of them will still be involved in the final war.

Law may loose his PG against BB but he is not dying also he is heavily involved in the D clan plotline

Kidd loosing his PG is uncertain rn but him even having is useless if he can't get it translated. He will definitely show up in final war but i dont think he can get to laugh tale

I wouldn't say remove. Tho they are definitely going to be Luffy's cheerleaders rather than world changing figures in the final war.

 

[Paperchampion23]

Yes. A lot of people have to understand that from a narrative perspective, Law and Kid serve their roles as allies, not competitors for One Piece.They do not have fleets. They are not Yonko. They do not have 8-10 notable commanders in their group.

Conversely, both Shanks and BB do have these traits. They are far older characters than Kid and Law. They are far more important when it comes to lore and tying said lore to the MC. They both must be encountered by the MC.

Law/Kid defeating BM was a good means of elevating Luffy's allies to a level that makes them a viable threat when Luffy becomes PK. They wont die, but they also arent going to be able to compete with Luffy either. Theres a reason they fought BM together while Luffy fought Kaido mostly alone.

This is coming from someone who likes Kid and Law, rooted for them against BM, and saying this obectively that while Im a Shanks fan, it has nothing to do with Shanks frankly. They do not escalate this story as antagonists for One Piece. BB does, and Shanks does at this time (until we know why hes also going after one piece, hes still an antagonist).


Regardless, Kid and Law WILL be major allies in the final war, and may even outlast BB/Shanks in this regard (if BB/Shanks are not involved in the final war, but only for One Piece).

 

[Reborn]

Yeah kind of.

It's the battle royale

5 left - Luffy, Shanks, BB, Kid and law

Shanks and BB beats Kidd and law and we will be left with SHs, BBP and RHP for PK

 

[Law-sama]

Oda is trying to elevate Kid and Law and make them relevant for the future obviously

Really the opposite, but carry on lol

 

[IsaziSempi]

Please kill kidd

 

[mrtsrdr]

At the new ywar message , Oda emphasized death of character. Talking about death for one piece is bot realistic however i hope we can elimate all new generation shit before final saga to get more focus on bb shanks world government and strawhats. This can be soooo goood

 

[Law-sama]

Please kill kidd

Not gonna happen. Kid is a copy of Shanks, means he's the second Oda self insert

 

[Reborn]

Having one arm and red hair doesn't mean kidd is oda self insert like shanks lol


Oda admitted only for Shanks

They also not remotely treated the same

 

[Kurozumi Wiwi]

Yeah. At some point Kid and Law will have to fail since they are direct rivals anyway.
But their crews are way too underdeveloped for a straw hats vs heart pirates or kid pirates to be a serious thing, so their dream getting crushed by two of the most central characters of the story make complete sense. (Yes Shanks is a central character, panel time =/= importance to the overall story).

as if they already arent
