Right now, definitely. Blackbeard pirates are somewhat above typical Yonko crews with Aokiji joined, but still they pale in comparison to Imu's side. BBP will get a modest boost when his Captains who recently got their DF get more mastery, but that's not much in the grand scheme of things. If...

Holy Knights with some clear non human members. Whether being royalty is a requirement or not, they might be exceptions like Loki. Allowed to join based on strength. It might not necessarily be a new race but we haven't previously seen a presumably Ancient Giant/ Fishman hybrid.

I think not necessarily. Between the manga itself, anime, side content like Databooks/ Vivre cards, unused ideas, and now even Live action, Oda likely has to remember and approve so much different details it surely slips his mind sometimes how much information he's revealed and where. Stuff that...

In general Marco still has two chances for more story relevance. Weevil plotline and then final battle with Blackbeard. I'm sure Marco will get featured in more but he won't be the main focus. In this God Valley flashback we might see Whitebeard get his original top men like Rakuyo and Whitey...

It's impressive Oda can still pull out these far-fetched reveals this late into the series, that no-one sees coming but makes somewhat sense. Moria being a Kozuki seems so out of nowhere and random almost like if "Whirlpool" Squard is actually connected to the man with the burn scar. But the...

Actually a much tougher question than expected. Basically an animal that is full of downsides with little to no benefits. But I can't actually think of any useless Zoans in the series. Zoans are almost always a free and quick boost. Even seemingly bad ones like Caterpillar guy is a New World...

Serious is a better descriptor then fun. New World itself was seemingly meant to be more violent kill or be killed compared to the other Paradise half of the Grand Line. Where one has to surrender to a Yonko or be crushed. It reality it seems one can survive just fine in the New World without...

Defeated is very likely, little to no chance of Yamato being killed. Momo has a technically higher chance of getting Blackbeard's interest by seemingly have Kaido's fruit. Also hypothetically, if Kaido and Big Mom happen to still be alive, Blackbeard killing both off for good will establish him...

Smoothie isn't even born yet.

I guess we should've seen Shakky being the treasure coming. Blackbeard also went after a vague something that the Marines wanted. It "randomly" turned out to be Boa and the Love Love fruit. Like father, like son.

The Rocks crew seem to get along far better than we were told. They might not be fully loyal, but they also aren't going around killing and back stabbing each other either, or at least not yet. And yet most still abandoned Xebec even with seemingly big treasures on the line. Only way I see that...

Could be the first Fishman.

Being a zoan doesn't exactly change origins or race.

Is he? Compared to most, Marco is basically the normal non special one. And still reached that high. Shanks is from a line of Holy Knight Celestial Dragons. Buggy started off as a gag, but his origins might end up being very important whether it has to do with Xebec or not. Even among the...

Jozu and Vista are the only ones that could feasibly pull off stalling the BBP. Jozu especially sacrificing himself seems more likely. He's already lost an arm and isn't present in the payback war flashback panel. Then again, none of the BB captains ended up having the diamond fruit, Shiryu...
