The craziest thing about this thread imo is that it was created 2 years ago, meaning, Egghead was two years ago.

He chooses to fight differently, doesn't mean he cannot stab someone off guard to achieve the outcome Shiryu wanted to achieve. Even Kaido picked up a blade and stabbed Kinemon. Both styles have their use cases. Stabs and cuts are more lethal, shockwave have more raw strength and...

Shiryu pierced Garp's abdomen, Roger used a shockwave based hit, similarly to Xebec hitting child Loki's nuts. Cmon nik, let's not be disingenuous. A stab is a stab, whether it's Shiryu or Roger. Heck, Roger died to fodder stabs on his execution day.

The Haki stored in Zoro's left eye will probably be used to turn his blades black.

Was the Azure Dragon one of those legendary fruits? @The DevilMaster They seemed to have gone to God Valley for that fruit

It never made sense. Even if Sengoku knew of Shanks' identity, his heritage won't give him authority over the marines given he is a great pirate and Yonko. Doflamingo's family was part of the Celestial Dragons inner circle, yet he was treated as scum for a decision made by his father and...

So the mighty Whitebeard was another no name's subordinate? I agree that Whitebeard doesn't quite fit in.

Shanks had access to Kamusari, which is a "shockwave" in his fight with Mihawk. So Shanks either 1) restricted himself to a cutting duel 2) Kamusari was part of the skillset in that duel Which one was it Rootbeer.

Did Shanks use Kamusari in his duel with Mihawk?

I remember in the film Saw 1, where Jigsaw was present all the time in this room playing dead, when the two captives tried to get out, only to reveal himself as alive and the big bad. Maybe Buggy is the final villain or Bigger Bad and just took the form of a clown to fool everyone. Being in the...

I doubt it's something you "try" to achieve. The blade just eventually turns black in the many battles you have.

Sure, at his prime, leading an armada, there is no cost in asking the way Xebec did with Harald. :willight:

@Nidai_Kitetsu damn, the same Shiki who said he doesn't give a fuck about Xebec dying, was furious and went to Marine HQ because the idea Roger could've been captured felt like an insult to him. Roger was him.

So who is Davy Jones? @Salah WG Someone from Blackbeard's/Xebec's bloodline? Though given the narration, that doesn't seem to be the case, as Xebec was simply called a follower of Davy Jones, a Dacy Jonesian pirate. Was he part of the void century? Or perhaps the first world? Is he maybe even...

Yes, Roger participated in God Valley just as much as Xebec, only that Roger left alive and made lasting history. Xebec failing while Roger did not is reflective of their character and persona. The fact Roger was just as ambitious, but just drew in people more, having loyal followers while Xebec...

But they weren't his "subordinates". They most likely were just associates sharing similar goals. They didn't trust, nor respect him. On the other hand we had Rayleigh, who in his prime was in the same ballpark as a Yonko, stalling Kizaru when old and rusty and having Garp compare him to...

Roger was more respected. Xebec's crew neither trusted, nor respected him. It is also implied Rocks got backstabbed, or at the very least, his associates didn't care about him biting the dust. On the other hand, you had bonafide top tiers; Rayleigh, Gaban, later Oden, who deeply loved...

Davy Back fights are games, Zoro was fighting bare handed and said it's fine by him. Obviously Xebec can fight in different ways, but so can Zoro? We have seen Zoro punching, kicking and using scythes. It doesn't change that Xebec was seen with a sword against his fiercest competitors and is...

It is. Guns are symbolic for execution. Xebec never seriously attempted to fight Imu, it was clear to him from the start that it will be pointless, it's not something he spontaneously realized when he met Imu's humanoid form in the flower room playing with butterflies. It was just a symbolic act...

We are not talking about confirmed mix martial artists with special genes and a Devil Fruit, we are talking about guys who more or less only use swords, no DF or special genes, and occassionally pulling out a gun like Teach or Doflamingo, heck even Kaido do, doesn't disqualify you, when you are...
