News Oda's 10 Q&A

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

I almost forgot about Mother Caramel and her whole orphanage

Wasn't she trying to turn Big Mom into the next Fleet Admiral or something? And she had the support of the WG iirc

Looks like this has been set up/established for a while

If I recall correctly, this is the quote (and I'm just mimicking it btw but this is pretty accurate from what I remember)

And on a side note, this would kind of be a stronger version of Big Mom, since she would be fitter and know Rokushiki. But she'd be pretty much the same otherwise.
Just something I thought was interesting.

I didn't know CG bounty removed Akainu feats of failing to beat sickbeard and needing 10 days for Kuzan

Since when bounties removed combat feats and PL ?

Akainu is yet to prove he can fight a peak Yonko who's all serious and can use haki to the max
He got taken down by sickbaed in 2 moves

Whitebeards subordinate said akainu wasn't down.
Don't you ever read
Like seriously

I guess him being capable one piece in one year,
Only person to beat a fresh top tier in a 1v1,
Takes half of the Whitebeard the WSM man face off,
Scars the MC(Shanks and Blackbeard,Mihawk and Zoro are supposedly a sure lock of fighting via this)

Means he's too weak or not narratively satisfying to beat than I don't know what to tell you.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

Bro creating his own stuff now lmao.

Oda said Fleet Admiral = 5b
Not Akainu = 5b

Oda never pushed Akainu bounty to be 5 B , It's the fleet admiral position which posses the massive threat to Cross guild.

Are you intentionally dumb or is this your bias taking over?

Akainu is the Fleet Admiral. Oda wrote down that Akainu is worth 5B. Something he did not do for any Yonko, something he pointed out that no pirate in history exceeded their bounties. And Akainu is less than 100 mil shy of Whitebeard, sniffing the man's ass on approach.

You can do mental gymnastics but Oda will never give out the 3rd highest bounty in the series without the character being deserving of it.

 

[JoNdule]

Because you lack reading comprehension lmfao, I already explained half a dozen times when 5B is unique. It's literally held to a higher standard by the author. And thinking Oda is going to give Akainu a higher bounty than Kaido because of administrations is nuts.

Oda gave Garp same bounty as Admirals
You really think at that point it means a thing if Akainu/FAs have 5B?

Even official bounties:
We get this stuff where weaker people have higher bounties than people they're inferior to
Recently King is still above Zoro in bounty

It doesn't make King anything special

 

[Topi Jerami]

All admirals are almost equal, they would extreme diff each other if they fought, said by @Elder Lee Hung

So Akainu's powerlevel bounty should be 3 billion, just like the other Admirals and Luffy. Below Kaido, Big Mom and Shanks.
And the 5 billion is Fleet Admiral's bounty.

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

Lufft didn't look superior to Kaido with G5. They were evenly matched . He only won barely with bajran. Even bajran didn't overpower Kaido's finisher easily like kkg overpowered Doffy's finisher

Anyway,
Yes Luffy disrespect is getting out of hand
People really out here thinking Oda wrote those panels of him owning Gorosei and Kizaru left and right for nothing .
1 top tier pirate fought 6 top tiers without looking inferior but "No, Luffy is weaker cause at one point he took Kizaru and down , and needed food cause g5 exhausted him, and Kizaru fed him"

nah he did
go back and take a look at kaido's conqueror attacks bouncing off him a majority of the fight in that form
while luffy could toy with his innards.


if kaido was less confident in himself maybe the loss could be avoided but luffy did overpower his last attack and smashed him in the process. In gear 5 he was clearly stronger than kaido.

 

[JoNdule]

Kuzan's bounty will still be underling taxed, so it still won't be a good comparison to Yonkou, who are the leaders of their faction. Only Mihawk ever managed to surpass his Captain's bounty ever. Kuzan's bounty is held back by Teach's bounty, what will be more interesting to see is how close it is to Teach, as his underling.

That's what I'm saying already
Not really
Kuzan and Mihawk gets something that YCs don't
They already have a career where they made their own names for years as top fighters

Anyway,
Wait for the card...KUZAN is what Kizaru should have been or better
I'm disappointed

People really sleep on G5 Luffy's fight with Kaido lol. It was very reminiscent of Doflamingo v. Boundman, though Kaido got more moments to do damage and appear closer in strength.

i do find it interesting she said BM could be a fleet admiral, not because of power, but because of intellect

BM as an adult is smart enough to run intelligence networks... but I would never look at 6 year old BM and think she could run an organization as large and complicated as the marines

That's true. But I'm sure she could have been educated on it.

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

Heres the fun part you cant solely powerscale off what luffy's peak is
just like no one powerscaled luffy off gear 4 alone
so while in that form I do believe he is the strongest person alive bar whatever imu has
a lot of folks can throw dice with the rest of him in other forms

 

[Philosoraptor]

Yes, you're working on a bad interpretation to begin with but the comparison was a combined bounty being higher than Whitebeard/Roger.

That means individually, they'd both be below them still.

From what I recall BM already had the portrayal of being potential fleet admiral. So a potential higher bounty not being able to match Roger and WB still doesn't align with the narrative according to you?

Kaido didn't have much problem hurting Luffy
You're also talking about the start of the battle. As the battle went on, Luffy was getting damaged and burnt hard.
And Luffy still couldn't also do much to Kaido despite all the g5 tricks or punches.

If he was clearly superior,
Oda was gonna write it like he wrote g4 vs Doffy where g4 dominates and kkg crushes God thread easily

G5 vs kaido wasn't like g4 vs Doffy
Bajran vs Flaming dragon isn't what kkg vs God thread was
You can clearly see the difference

The difference is, Oda chose to give Akainu the 3rd highest bounty. He made the conscious decision to look at Sakazuki and say, "Yeah, he's worth that."

We already saw what Linlin's bounty had and maybe in a parallel universe, raised and trained by the marines, she would be worth that. But we didn't get that Linlin. We already saw what Oda thinks of her and how he rates her, given the abundance of screen time he showed her.

Honestly after Kizaru's nerfed egghead showcase, we might be seeing a repeat of what happened with G4. Lot of people thought G4 was Admiral lvl during Dressrosa, and then it got humbled against Cracker, let alone Katakuri.

I'm not completely sold as I was anymore on G5 being leagues above everyone else, it managed to land like 1 attack on a distracted Kizaru the entire fight, an attack that is like the strongest attack Luffy has thrown outside of BG and Kizaru still only faked being downed, he was ok enough to perception blitz everyone on the island including Luffy after taking it.

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

I still think this is worthless lore. Some users try to defend it, but it's so inconsequential. It's a foot note.

It doesn't when it comes to Linlin

TAc and them are biased
They won't use bounties to hype Linlin or others but will use CG bounty to hype Akainu

That's also why they excuse Akainu feats of failing to beat Kuma despite 3 moves. Akainu didn't even lose a limb and didn't have any scar
They'll excyse him also for getting owned by sickbeard
They even exchse Kizaru pathetic feats but won't do the same for BM when she mentally nerfed actually

 

[Monster Zoro's Tesla Supplier]

Is Pirate Island where the 4th RP is or something
Unless I just misread this.

it's Hachinsou, Teach's base and Xebec's former lol
