Break Week Strawhats v Blackbeard Pirates Matchup Predictions
- Thread starter PuckTheGreat
- Start date
You already know my take Puck but I’ll just copy it here since you made this a thread. I think Luffy and BB are still growing in crew and Allies.
For example, I feel like Sword and Sabo need to be connected to the BB Pirate arc. Not to mention Blackbeard Pirates being on Egghead immediately after claiming how much they want Boas fruit seems like it opens the door for Snake to be taken by them as well.
Imo the most obvious ones are:
Luffy vs BB
Zoro vs Shiryu
Sanji vs Lafitte
Usopp vs Van Augur
After these three I think the three who fought Tobi Roppo will fight the three who were hyped in Impel down:
Jinbe vs Vasco shot
Robin vs Catarina Devon
Franky vs Sanjuan Wolff
So that just leaves a three straw hats:
Brook and Chopper - I think will 2v2 Doc Q and Stronger. Both Q and Stronger have strong devil fruits, so I would be genuinely shocked for oda to have Chopper soloing them and with Brook never winning his own 1v1 (I don’t count FMI) I can see him being Choppers assistant in this fight.
Nami - Namis a weird one. If oda does have Snake kidnapped and joined the BB Pirates possibly with York this would be a great matchup for her. Namis biggest things are science, children, and greed. York is the epitome of greed of the worlds greatest scientist who uses children as weapons. So I’m going to pray for that one.
Beyond that that leaves 3 Blackbeard Pirates:
Burgess
Pizarro
Kuzan
Burgess and Pizarro have both clashed with two people likely to ally with the straw hats: Sabo and Coby. And Kuzan well oda could do a lot with him. I hope smoker comes down to fight him because they do share a connection but oda could do a lot with Kuzan

The key to the matchup is the "Role" on the ship IMO
Certain:
Luffy vs Teach = Captains
Zoro vs Shiliew = Fighters without a specific role/Swordsman
Nami vs Lafitte = Navigators
Chopper vs Doc q = Doctors
Usopp vs Van = Snipers
Jinbe vs Burgess = Helmsmen
Likely (no official BBP roles for now)
Sanji vs Pizzarro= Pizzarro showed to be the strongest after Kuzan and Shiliew at Hachinosu
Franky vs Wolf = Franky's bounty may suggest a fusion with the Sunny so is a giant fight
Robin vs Catarina = Catarina loves to kill sexy woman and Nami is busy against Lafitte
Brook vs Vasco = I don't like this matchup, but i can't see others options
Kuzan is too strong, he won't fight or maybe someone will enter the crew temporarily and fight him

Acknowledge that Coby’s decent strength-wise atm but I’m not at all convinced that he fights Aokiji. He’s simply not strong enough & writing him as such will be abysmal writing on Oda’s part imo so can only hope that isn’t the case. With Smoker however it’s feasible. Like most antagonists that get re-introduced into the series he will most likely be getting a major power boost & he’s already a VA so next level of progression for him is Admiral.
