Character Discussion Loki = Davy Jones and Xebecs successor

#1


We know Blackbeard is the son of xebec and shares his lineage with Davy Jones but that doesn’t necessarily make him the true successor of their will

We know will is more than just about being blood related the best and most obvious example being Luffy. Luffy being the one to share dreams with Roger and succeed joyboy. It not being Roger’s blood son Ace or adopted son Shanks


Point is same way Ace and shanks might not have been the true holders of their will it could apply to Blackbeard
We know xebec was basically his equivalent to shanks for so him being the one to really surpass them could be interesting

Nah BB clearly has Xebec's same goal, but Loki also seem to have it as well ? Cuz he said if he had gotten far enough to meet the HKs he would've become king of the world so who knows

That's not happening lol
We know Teach and his crew are aiming for "The World" itself, which is obviously a reference to Imu
No reason for Teach to actually be a red herring when he's been built up as the successor to both Xebec and Davy Jones just like Luffy is the successor of both Roger and Joyboy

Oda’s greatest success as a writer may well be the fact that despite continuing screaming in our faces that Blackbeard is one of the most important characters in One Piece, there is always a large subset of fans who somehow think he’s essentially just an arc villain that will be dealt with before EoS.

Folk underestimate him as much in series as out.

Agreed, he's importance is second only to Luffy, only because Luffy is the main character.

I agree he's gonna be way more than just an arc villain but I think it makes much more sense and would be a much better narrative for Koby to be the one to take him down.

Allow him to genuinely earn the Hero title and not just given it based off lies and propaganda like Garp

Allow the readers to see him grow into the power house he is being hyped to become

Allow Koby to take down the dark reflection of Luffy rather than Luffy wiping out every big bad

Allow him to avenge Garp and rescue him from hachinosu even if you wanna say the strawhats help them out i still think Koby should be the one to finish the fight

Similar situation to Wano, yes Luffy had lots of help against Kaido until he grew strong enough to go the ones with him and eventually win, I think a similar situation will happen with Koby and BB

No offence, but I disagree more vehemently with this idea than any other in One Piece history.

I would rather entertain the idea that Carrot could have been a Strawhat than even consider Coby beating Blackbeard.

Stop pretending like we knew that was Davy Jones, or that anyone in this fandom remembered Davy Back fights existed before two months ago
People have been talking about Davy Back fights for years. Literally one of the oldest theories is that SHP vs RHP would be a Davy Back Fight.

And we do? We’re literally told it’s named after a pirate named Davy jones.

Still a completely random name-drop Pirate no different than Captain John or Silver Axe that had absolutely no relevance until now. Stop acting like Harald’s son with a legendary fruit can’t reach that level lol. I remind you that Xebec himself was no stronger than Harald, and Loki is Harald with a legendary devil fruit lol.

How relevant was the name “Joyboy” until recently? Hell I don’t even think that name was ever mentioned till FMI

Joy Boy’s name was carved into a Poneglyph back in Fish Man island, it was clear that Joy Boy was a highly important figure historically. The name of Davy Jones was no different from Captain John until this very flashback.

We learned that Loki existed long before Oda ever revealed that Davy Jones had ties to Xebec and Teach.

But we know now that this “Easter egg” name is actually a vitally important character to the lore of the story. And Loki is just some random giant we just met
