Chapter Discussion ONE PIECE CHAPTER: 1155: THE ROCKS PIRATES

[a_fan]

Except that Blackbeard would never do this alone

He went full Rocks in Marineford before Shanks showed up lol

I can picture him in power trip mode in Marijoa.

There is also the duo option but we don't need another Dorry and Broggy

I agree, but the duo option only works if they’re comparable in strength imo. I think Hajrudin days as a pirate is over, probably be king of Elbaph.

He went what ? He had his entire crew with him lmao.

The only thing he did alone was assassinating Thatch

Hajrudin isn’t over as we are still waiting for the fleet to make a move, any move.

His crew are all clowns with zero feats and got no diffed repeatedly.

He didn’t care about all the admirals at presence and went all out himself.

bakkin is the nami of the rocks pirates. she was probably quite strong, but now has an old hag, she would make for a fair foe for the strawhat navigator.

Bakkin used to be in charge of tech which means she was the brains of the crew, but they failed anyway to reach Rocks’ goal.

in the chapter, she is called tech bandit, perhaps she stole technology, instead of developing it. the mads people considered her a freeloader, not a fellow scientist.

Freeloader explains her conflict with Vegapunk regarding her son Weevil. Maybe she left MADS or was kicked out?

There being two others in the chapter that are called a Gangster and Smuggler might mean the crew is full of criminals .

I'm not a fan of the concept of Rock fighting like Roger or is it Roger fighting like Rocks because Rock is older in the world but Roger is older in the panel due to being created first.

Keep in mind, whenever Oda introduces a swordsman from the past who is not labeled as WSS, it devalues Hawkeye...

Hawkeye not stronger than whitebeard, and the WG does not give a damn about him which is unfortunately bad portrayal.

Rocks>>>>

Is Loki paying homage to him with his clothes? Yep

Rocks chose the best of the best.

The one who loses the Davy fight joins the crew of the winner? Rocks beat pre-prime Whitebeard and Shiki likes its easy

Something important to note is that despite everything Rocks did, Imu was not interested in him.

I dont think so

Yeah but Yasheen then went on to say that his crew has rapists and necrophiliacs so that implied he only thinks his crew is lame because his crew is evil. That's why I pointed out that most pirates in this manga are bad. For example:
Kidd torturing and killing pirates who already surrendered and wanted to go home
Blackbeard trying to force transformed Bonney into becoming his concubine
Vasco Shot implying he wanted to rape and/or torture Boa Hancock
Catarina Devon saying she wanted to behead Boa Hancock and take the head for a trophy (it's also implied she beheads many beautiful women for that same reason)
Doflamingo being implied to have raped Viola
Bartolomeo cutting people's tongues off for no good reason and pissing in front of crowds for the lols (the latter is just public indecency which is really tame for a pirate, but still)
Big Mom threatening to behead Zeff and the other Baratie members, put the heads in boxes, and ship them to Sanji as a "present".
Kaido ranting about desiring to enslave women and children for his own personal gains and even trying to kill his own child.
And even the Straw Hats have done questionable things (mostly Nami and Sanji have).

Robin and Bon Kurei helped Crocodile kill how many people in Alabasta?

Two fan favorite characters.

Has anything Teach has done really been worse than Vegapunk making Child Clone Terminator Slaves to serve known Sex Trafficking Child Slavers?

Like, really: what has Teach done that's actually worse than Robin and Vegapunk's crimes against humanity? Beat up Ace? Kill Thatch?

Jinbe's like: "Yo, Vegapunk, that could be really dangerous."

Vegapunk's like: "Ain't no way I heard the Fish talking", VP didn't give the SLIGHTEST shit when Jinbe correctly warned him about the dangerous of creating the internet.

A lot of people hated Vegapunk for being that way, but I love that writing from Oda: many of the protagonists in One Piece have serious character flaws, and the narrative accepts that, and calls them out on it.

You look at Teach attacking Drum Kingdom: look at Lulusia. Vegapunk did that shit. That's on him, and he admitted it. Great writing.

The only truly moral characters in this series are rando citizens like Iceberg, some Royalty like Vivi and Riku, the Revs, and Fujitora (which is why I think Fuji's really a Rev).

Everybody else is borderline insane criminals fighting over power, and Oda makes that perfectly clear.

After this chapter, I believe Blackbeard is the one raiding Marijoa now considering the timing of the situation.
