- Thread starter bennbeckman
- Start date
Plot armor adventures, with added clownery of simping for shakky
would just fuck up whatever hype and aura the dodger pirates have left. odiddy has shown already that he cannot portray dodger as anything other than gold luffy now. We don't need him to do the same to the dodger pirates too
keep the fucking legends as legends

Oda has never shown Roger, Garp, Sengoku, or Prime WB fighting at their absolute peaks all the way to the finish. The closest we ever got was Roger vs. WB for three days, and even that happened offscreen.
People don't understand that Kaido was the bogeyman of the entire old generation. It's a pretty simple sequence of events to follow:
You can clearly see that Roger and Garp look less impressive than Kaido.

- During the era when Roger and Prime WB were at their peaks, Kaido became the very embodiment of strength in the world.
- He conquered Wano and became virtually invincible.
- He tanked Oden's strongest attack and went on to defeat him. The same Oden who was on the level of Roger, Prime WB, and Xebec.
- He killed Oden, who was beloved by both Roger and WB, enslaved an entire country, and even Prime WB chose to avoid fighting him.
- He only grew stronger from there, and it would take another 20 years for him to finally fall to Joyboy, the man destined to surpass Roger and everyone else, after running an entire gauntlet while carrying an island through the sky all night long.
You can clearly see that Roger and Garp look less impressive than Kaido.
I need more than just "Roger pirates". What would be the pitch? Thematics? Conflict?
The problem is the risk of repetition of One Piece with a weaker cast (in the narrative sense). BUT, you could twist that by taking a new angle. Let me throw an idea into the wind:
Kal Del is a kindhearthed woman and marine photographer on the island of "Tomorrows-Page", the marine-journalists alliance of East Blue. Kal hates pirates just as well as their self-made prophecies.. and she dreams that one day, she will be able to exposes them in the front page of the world biggest title and change history for the sake of Peace.
One day, Kal is saved by a young smiling man with a straw-hats claiming to be the next biggest pirate of all times! Being made certain the man would become a threat for the world, Kal will sail for the grand line with a bunch of Marine outcast to follow the young man around his journey, in the quest to photograph the pirate's deeds and expose his evilness to the world.
What Kal does not know yet, is that she will be the one to photograph the biggest headline in history.

I would actually like to see a short story about Roger Pirates. Maybe how they recruited someone in their crew. Maybe the immediate aftermath after their disbandment. Maybe a clash with Rocks, but from Rogers pirates perspective. Or a later period when they had to work with WB pirates for some reason. Maybe them breaking out someone from Impel Down. I don't need a huge story, but a small one would be quite entertaining.
Now, a bigger story I would be interested in would be the Void Century or some previous failed Nikas. I think we won't get enough details in the main story on that, so there's a potential.
