Speculations The Blackbeard Vs Strawhat match ups are easy.

#43
Oda said Blackbeard is a historian/archeologist of the crew. Doesn't mean he'll fight Robin

Jenbe and Jesus are both helmsman. Jenbe's strenght and speed for his size have been highlighted mutiple times but the underling theme has always been his discipline and technique. It clashes nice against Jesus's Wildman highly telegraphed style. Plus he can lift and trow mountains. Somebody has to be very strong to fight Jesus and Jenbe's the third of the crew. At the same time the fight would be to easy for Sanji with his devastating attack speed. Jesus has the same durability as before his fruit and we seen he has little to no resistance to fire. Jenebe is the only one on the crew strong enough to fight Jesus other than Sanji and Zoro.

Franky always fights somebody mentally astute. He's a weird party man and his opponents quickly see he's quite capable and strategic. Being also a worldclass inventor he often fights seasoned strong and mentally focused fighters. He has to because he has shit like lasers that's GG if he's fighting an idiot. Vasco is also despicableand a brutal criminal. Which is a stark contrast to Franky who was also a criminal who was seen as despicable but was quite respectable taking the criminals of water 7 and making them into wild yet working class. He took mozu and kiwi off the bottle, seeing as he though ladies drinking in the streets as not acceptable. Again a stark contrast to Vasco who suggested molesting or raping Boa. And of course the most obvious parallel is while Franky drinks Cola and uses it to power his body and attacks, Vasco drinks alcohol and now has an alcohol based devil fruit. I mean what else do you need there.

Nami will fight the female of the crew as she allways has.in every major arc she's either fought a female or not had a 1v1 fight. Alabsta, enis Lobby, wano and whole cake island. She's even befriended women who have tried to kill her even if they have a good enough nature. As in with Lola and chiffon.

Brooke and Lafitte is obvious in my opinion. Both are fiercely loyal to their captains that form the basis of their personalities. Laffitte threatening to kill crewmates that would challenge Blackbeard and Brooke defending the honor of his crewmate Sanji by saying how selfless he was. Explaining to big mom that she had not conquered Luffy's crew by persuading Sanji only that she was Lucky that Sanji's loyalty to his friends would cause him to sacrifice himself to protect them. Both have demon otherworldly powers Brook Brooke seemingly using the freezing winds of hell in his attack and being a skeleton once worshipped as a demon and Laffite being called the demon sherriff..

Lafitte was a policeman and Brooke was the captain of a battle convoy. So both probably worked under kings before joining the pirate world. Both have top hats, both are the skinniest of their respective crew, they dress similarly have canes etc. Seems obvious. Both can manipulate consciousness.
Laffitte is for Sanji, moron. :whitepress:

Flashback to this
That's probably what was in my mind and it's one of the two fights she's had in the last 20 years. Though she also rolled Big mom as well. Which is already a better feat than beating the slow guy on blackbeard crew. Wolfe is named so because he's as big as a battleship not because Franky is going to disassemble him, which would be clever. Though all Franky would have to do is shoot Wolfe in the face with a laser. Their is no room for witty or funny exchange which is common place in Frank's fights. Never have any of his opponents been dumb all of his fights have been against weird viscious people.

When You look at the match-up try and environment the legacy each will leave in the readers as well as the people in the verse.

Luffy beating a yonkou that shook the world both figuratively and literally. A God ve a demon with two devil fruits.

Sanji a charming prince who left his life of privilege to serve food vs a corrupt king

Robin an historian quite astute and informed beat a giant that towered over an island

Usopp a coward with the heart of a lion(I wish) defeating a cold stoic unwavering marksman with renowned skill.

Franky and enigmatic magnimous grandious and drawing personality vs one of the most vicious cruel criminals of the world

Chopper vs Doq q. Two men one with the inclination to tackle disease and help people systematically and whenever he's need vs a doctor of death who terrorizes people randomly with the rhythm similar to plaque it's self.

Brooke and Laffite were both once famous in two seperate kingdoms called to the world of piracy and act like pillars in their respective crews. Both making epic strides in pushing their captains and crews closer to the throne of kings.

Nami a beauty revered throughout the world know for her cunning and beauty vs a jealous witch who sought to eliminate beauty from the earth.

Jenbe a man of duty moved to the world of power selflessly to maintain his obligation as protector of the Fishman race vs the luchador determined to prove his skill as the strongest

Zoro vs Shiryuu... nobody cares.

Real question is will Aokiji be a real member of the blackbeard pirates and if so will Yamato be aswell and be his opponent? Or maybe he goes to Wano one of the Islands Luffy is protecting and fight Yamato there.
Nami will fight Lafitte they are both navigators.
Franky will fight wolf since he is a ship
your wrong
Post automatically merged:

No but given how pizarro and burgers are looking stronger than others bar BB and shiryu , they are likely to fight sanji/jimbei.

Both nami and Robin haves chance in fighting Devon.

Other is basically your own opinion.
no invalid. i already gave the matchups

People are expecting standard matches, like doctor vs doctor, but Oda will probably decide to change everything for a surprise. There will be Doc Q against Sanji (he will turn him into a woman, but Sanji knows the Okama Path), Nami against Van Auger, Zoro against the drunkard Vasco, Brook against Shiryu, robin against Stronger (he is a pegasus, and robin can create wings plus she looks like a horse herself.), etc. .

I'm trying to understand the dynamics you guys are putting together. Like which one of Sanji's opponents are like Jesus? Outside of the movies. Has Nami ever fought with a man in a major arc or even like ever. Did yall notice Brooke and laffite have the exact same profile...


What would the scene be like if Brooke fought vasco shoti??

Vasco shot: I like to drink
Brooke: I use to be the captain of a battleship convoy before becoming a pirate.
Vasco: ah interesting you had a career before being a pirate? Literally nobody in our respective crews has accomplished that except for laffite of course.

Brooke: oh you mean the guy who killed our navigator after 4 seconds of close quarters combat. Yeah she's never fought a man since I've known her I don't know why today she... anyway ungaurd you fiend.

Vasco: no ill set you on fire with my fire breath.

Brooke: um I don't have a flammable body. Also tou can breath fire....?

Vasco: yeah?

Brooke: you know Franky can breath fire right. Do you want to fight him?

Vasco: I can't because he's fighting a man the size of a mountain. Though when I think about it that fight should be over because A Wolfe has either sat on and killed Franky, thrown his mech suit halfway across the ocean or Franky shot him in the face with a laser. There's literally no other way those two can fight. The size difference is way to big.

Brooke: yeah Franky doesn't dodge attacks because hes kinda tanky being metal and all. But yeah he uses Cola the same way you use alcohol. I think in his intro arc he was like against alcoholism or something.

Vasco: what about her?

Brooke: oh that's Robin coming over to help me. Catarina Devon being a normal human of relative speed and strenght. Robin just broke he neck as soon as they started. It was kind of a dumb match up.

Vasco: I wonder if her abilities that supposedly transcend strenght could beat a giant like suan Juan Wolfe.

Brooke: she can grow kinda giant herself but that's beside the point we will never know. I mean it would do justice to her character and maintain her original theme. She's only had two fights on the crew. But it's better she fights a woman who has nothing in common with her. I would rather have seen nami take that dub because she's as sly as a fox and catarina is well a fox. Nami also has mutiple coverpages with foxes in them. But what ever.

Vasco: I don't know if we're losing or winning but your cook just ran half way across the island and kick our helmsman asshole into the next island over. There seems to be a giant speed gap between them I feel like we should have been warned about that.

Brooke: well he is a prince

Vasco: oh crazy did you know avalro was a king... nothing auspicious about that.

Brooke : it's better that way because Zoro fought a golem man that could turn part of an island into his body. Avalro doing that with an entire island would just fan the flames on that rivalry.

Vasco: that's not really oda's style. Anyway let's continue fighting. Oh wait that Fishman is fighting avalro. Doesn't he use like shockwaves..Shockwave...

Brooke: if your going to say he should have fight Jesus because he uses sound waves don't mention it because I thought the same thing.

Vasco: if this happens again, this fight let's arrange it like this. Luffy's four main crewmates his commanders so to speak. Sanji, zoro, Jenbe and Usopp hopefully will fight the first 4 ships. Jenbe vs Jesus, zoro vs shiryuu Sanji vs avalro and usopp vs vanauger

Nami fought one of Satori's brothers in Skypiea. Nami was going to fight Fukuro in Enies Lobby until Oda changed his mind. Keep in mind the Blackbeards have long since been conceived.

Did yall notice Brooke and laffite have the exact same profile...
Similarities fluctuate throughout the Blackbeard Pirates. Doc Q is centered around death like Brook. Wolf can be timid like Chopper. Even Blackbeard has a passion for archaeology like Robin. I think it all boils down to the role they fulfill as it fits with a certain pattern and roles give us more of the root of the characters.

Luffy vs Blackbeard (tke captains)
Zoro vs Shilliew (the swordsmen)
Sanji vs Pizarro (royalty)
Brook vs Lafitte (both probably have the same fighting style)
Chopper vs Doc Q (the doctors)
Usopp vs Van Augur (with Usopp's CoO glowing up in this fight)

Those are the most obvious one for me.

Now there are those I am not very certain :
- Sanjuan Wolf might fight Franky in a sea battle (Franky using the Thousand Sunny to fight him) but I can also see Jinbei fighting Wolf (jinbei attacks being pretty effective on big targets. And their fight might also be a sea battle)

- Burgess might fight Franky (because wrestler vs boxer) but also Jinbei (the Helmsmen).

- Catarina Devon might fight Nami or Robin. But I feel like it will be Robin who'll fight Devon.

- So Vasco Shot will fight Nami. Because Vasco Shot seems to be a rapper and a beautiful woman like Nami will be his prey. And Nami seems to have the better moveset than Robin to fight a guy like Vasco Shot who'll fight remotely (rain to extinguish fire. Thunder to hit Vasco Shot in air, etc...)

Zoro vs Shiryu
Sanji vs Pizarro
Usopp vs Van Augur
Chopper and Brook vs Doc Q and Stronger
Robin vs Sanjuan wolf
Franky vs Jesus Burgess
Jinbe vs Vasco

Nami vs Laffitte and Devon

(There is no way this is right because there is not a single arc where every strawhats gets fights.
There will be other side characters who will play more important role than some of the strawhats.
So most of the prediction in this thread is wrong.)

I can definently see Vasco attacking Robin and Franky stepping in to stop him. But I dont understand how people can see a man fueled by alcohol not fighting a man literally fueled by cola.

It could even be a 2v2
