Spoiler One Piece Chapter 1167 Spoilers Discussion

Well if it ends up being revealed that Kid had a misplaced grudge against Shanks then that would mean that Kid would’ve fully deserved every L he’s taken from Shanks tbf. He’s trying to get revenge on the wrong dude

As for losing his arm, if you think about it, him missing an arm is the main reason why he was able to fufill his goal of taking down an Emperor. Remember Killer was only able to bypass the spell Hawkins put on Kid because he was missing an arm. If Kid still had both arms then there’s no way Killer can save Kid and he and Law would’ve fell to Big Mom. In a way he was helped by losing an arm lol.

A new ship can always be rebuilt. Elbaph has the Adam tree. And if Shanks defeating him with Divine Departure ends up being the key to him unlocking CoC Coating, then that would be another indirect help from Shanks. This would be consistent in the way Oda writes Shanks as a Gary Stu that can do no wrong. Even when he defeats Kid he lowkey helps him lmao

Your points are honestly fair. Interestingly, Shanks has played a pivotal role in Kidd’s story directly and indirectly.

I disagree tho regarding the misplaced grudge. Even if it was misplaced, i still think he should go after Shanks.

I guess part of this also hinges on how exactly kidd lost his arm. I sincerely hope Oda reveals this one day what happened. Depending on the circumstances of it, could mean quite a bit. I have some theories but haven't delved too much into it. I could see kidd giving up his arm for his crew or maybe he just straight up picked a fight a lost bad, idk..

The second part of this is the conflict that happened outside of Elbaf. You are right that his ship can always be rebuilt. But at the end of the day, Shanks/Giants were the ones who destroyed it. And that has been Kidd's ship since he's been introduced into the story. His biggest losses to this date, outside of kaido, is to Shanks. I just can't see kid returning and not wanting to go back after Shanks, even if he learns later it was misguided. And in the elbaf scenario I believe conflict was going to happen regardless. Shanks was not going to let kidd sail by without giving his poneglyphs. And Kidd is a conqueror so he would fight no matter what.

If he needs to go after Shamrocks and Shanks then that should happen. Shanks has given him his biggest loss to date, he needs to go after him.

I think we just view it differently. Honestly, your points make sense and seem more likely, but i guess we'll see what happens.
 
Which flashback was the most helpful for the WSS stocks?

The Oden flashback... where Roja used air bars & Oden almost two-shot Kaido?

Or the Rocks flashback... where Rocks, Roja, Harald are swordsmen & Shanks was revealed to have abyss powers when he duelled Mifraud?
The Rocks flashback pretty much ended and buried the Shanks vs Mihawk debate. oden flashback wasn't that good

iirc it helped the Shanks stocks a lot at the time because it soft confirmed ACoC and the narrative was Shanks was the CoC god while Mihawk was a CoCless bum back then
 
I thought Kaidou was weaker than Hanafuda, but here he is being grouped together with Roger and conquering the seas.
:Rofl::Rofl::Rofl:
@MonsterKaido @Hanzo hattori @Levi @SkySanji @sanjikun

By the way, where’s that pathetic Shiki and his rival, Silver Axe? lol



:kuzanshut::kata::kata:
I’m still shocked that Oda really erased Shiki completely, he must have seen all the Silver Axe over Big Mom takes.😂😂😂😭😭
Early Zeus vs Shiki and his grand fleet @Shiroyru @Sir Yasheen

I'm certain Zeus takes it with high diff, mid diff if weather conditions have dark clouds
But but but what happened to Gum Rayleigh and Gum Bam? Weren’t they supposed to be the pinnacles of pirates too? How can Kaidou, who lost to Roger’s future No. 4, be placed side by side with the captain of those two losers as the pinnacle of pirates?

@Ven437 @MonsterKaido @Levi :saden::saden::shame:
Magnificent shiki slander

:Gai_Smirk:


Kaido big mom wb being grouped with top tiers ? Fork found in kitchen my brothers.
:Armstrong:
 
Which was always delusion lol

Yes I’m sure the WSS that had daily duels with Shanks didn’t have CoC

Dunno how people actually believed that. I’m glad Zoro unlocking CoC (mostly) put that to bed
Hindsight is 20/20

CoC was a much rarer ability back then. People couldn't fathom someone other than the strongest marines/pirate captains having it back then. In fact, Zoro/Mihawk stans didn't believe it either. They used to vehemently deny the existence of CoC applications outside of knocking fodder out and pretend like it was useless because even they didn't think Zoro would have it so they just downplayed the ability to upscale Zoro compared to Luffy. Zoro unlocking it did put that thing to bed though.

Eh I was around back then but I’ll admit it was a bit more split

Mihawk was always basically guaranteed to have it (to me) due to proximity to Shanks and his title

Though I’ll admit that it wasn’t seen as a guarantee because initially we didn’t know CoC could do anything besides knock out fodder. That’s the main reason why people weren’t pressed to put every single strong character in the CoC category

As soon as ACoC became a thing it was over. Every fruitless top tier was guaranteed to have it in their arsenal

Funnily enough the confirmation came in the same chapter as Zoro unlocking it iirc
