Yeah, that's my point... Garling had a lot of clout, even when he was just a HK. But it was a huge mistake in the end.

He was beating marine officials and fighting the Whitebeard Pirates at ~13 years old. Shanks was considered a prodigy already, even among the Roger Pirates, and was clearly aligned to Roger. It was something of note, especially when the Roger Pirates didn't kill that particular group of marines...

This is pure bs IMO. They did nothing to the Donquixotes still in Mary Geoise and Doffy was still a child when he left, he had no choice much like Shanks. In addition, if they've paid any attention to the Roger Pirates (and they should), they would see that Shanks was fully aligned with Roger...

Shanks wasn't kidnapped, he was lost (Dragon couldn't make off with him). In the end, he ended up with the "worst pirate crew" at the time, it's still an impressive thing that the CDs not only accepted him back but he also became a HK. Doffy wasn't his father and did something incredible to...

As long as Oda wants. It'll last until he doesn't need the hype anymore, just like it happened with haki ("haki transcends all", except Joy Boy's and Imu's DF powers).

I think that she could be. We already know about two cases of Celestial Dragons abandoning Mary Geoise and going to the lower world (Homing and Shanks), and one of them was a HK. Afterwards, for some reason the WG could've killed Candel and her former family (the Manmayers) took Gunko back to...

Surely. The “Rocky Port” from the Rocky Port Incident is a passenger ship.

IMO, these are the strawhats' biggest fears: Luffy — Losing his nakama; Zoro — Failing or losing his honor as a swordsman (by extension, being too weak to protect his nakamas too, since he sacrificied his pride to help Luffy to achieve his dream); Sanji — He has shown some fears: arachnophobia...

I still enjoy it. Definitely way less than before, but it's still worth it IMO. Ofc, I don't invest too much time on it... it's basically a few posts on forums, sometimes reading spoilers and reading the weekly (or semiweekly) chapter. It's totally fine for me.

Yeah, Marco is clearly based on Marco Polo, the medieval venetian adventurer. "Polo" is Gram's surname, so, if he's Marco's father, Marco would be "Polo Marco" (or Marco Polo, if we use the romanized version).

I feel that Lodestar is the "entrance" to Laugh Tale (or the old entrance to the "Great Kingdom" of the Void Century). After Vegapunk revealed that the sea level already rose up by 200 meters in the past, it's plausible to think that the "Great Kingdom" was a much bigger landmass than anyone...

Surely. The Marines had to do a World Military Draft after the losses in Marineford and Sengoku's and Aokiji's resignations. WB's territories were seized by many pirates, both great (e.g.: Big Mom took over FI) and lesser ones (e.g.: Brownbeard immediately tried to seize Foodvalten). Kaido tried...

Indeed. Btw, they did send forces to capture Luffy after Alabasta, but it was "lazy justice" Aokiji and his own grandpa. 😅

Maybe they only cared when the fruit was awakened? There are so many DFs out there, why couldn't the "limb stretching guy" be someone with Katakuri's DF (Mochi Mochi no Mi)? He can do pretty much the same. Hana Hana no Mi also could generate a similar effect, for example. And there may be even...

Crazy, I've completely missed it, thanks for catching that.
