Hi, Worstgen people; this isn't a powerscaling thread, so to the usual suspects: please stay away. I'll get straight to the point: Zoan awakening is conceptually disappointing. Whenever people theorize awakening, many make the mistake of thinking of a change that doesn't represent a qualitative...

A long time ago I expected Bonney would be just a kid (considering her childish reactions to stuff that normally scare children, like bugs); and reading Vegapunk's comment regarding her in this last chapter I'm even more convinced of what I also predicted, which is: Bonney falling in love with...

Luffy is fully aware of how fast Kizaru is, they had a moment in Marineford where Kizaru mocked Luffy's slowness. It's no coincidence that he went for his fastest form; he probably judged he had no chance to keep it up with Kizaru's speed in a lesser gear.

The bear ear from his hat.

White isn't the absence of color but the contrary, it's all colors mixed.

Nah, this is absurd, Oda could have had Luffy defeating Kaidou with advanced Haoshoku plus level three of Busoshoku and we'd have believed it since there's no metric to establish how much stronger this Luffy would be. Oda introduced the Nika model because it enlarges the frame of his story. The...

A character requires consistency, though. You can't put a character in an scenario where he'd behave a certain way according to what's been previously established about his personality, motivations and relationships, and then don't write him behaving how he'd naturally behave in such scenario...

That's irrelevant. A good writer stays consistent with even the minor characters. The moment Oda established he's a powerful bodyguard who is the first to jump in to stop a threat, the moment he should stay consistent with it. Bogard went from being the first to get involved and personally...

But this is circular reasoning. The only reason why you see him as an irrelevant character is Oda's poor handling of him, when in reality he had the foundations to be a way more important figure. He has been around Garp since Roger's era and we actually have a precedent for how this character...

And base Luffy right after the timeskip was already faster than Kizaru. Is this how it works? Also, unless every Supernova was equally strong back then, the "100 times stronger" isn't perfectly accurate; hence why you aren't using your brain at inferring current Zoro (which is your actual...

But someone like Crocodile isn't playing a dumb game and the only member of the Guild yet to be defeated is Mihawk... ...which once again leads us to the scenario where Zoro vs Mihawk is the only versus coming from Cross Guild.

Cross Guild is ultimately fodder and its main members are pointless as a threat except for Mihawk. Buggy has shown sympathy towards Luffy, who pretty much is what he wanted Shanks to be. Crocodile has shown sympathy towards Luffy, who is growing to become the Government's greatest enemy. Mihawk...

Of course Buggy will be important, but not as a threat nor a rival.

Cross Guild is bigger than Mihawk alone in the sense that they're causing havoc in the world, but not as a direct fighting threat to the Straw Hats; which, again, they aren't. Who seriously wants to see Buggy, Crocodile, Alvida, etc. fighting and losing again? That's pointless, we know they're...

But this is pointless. No reason to have Crocodile fighting and losing again, no reason to have Buggy fighting and losing again (especially since he has been recently depicted as the somehow "purer" inheriter of Roger's will compared to Shanks), no reason to have the rest of them posing a threat...

Before. Cross Guild encounters the Straw Hats before they're landing in Laugh Tale and Mihawk puts himself as Zoro's last obstacle before becoming the right hand man of the Pirate King. Same feeling as Baratie but with Zoro having finally seen the world out there, hence ready to challenge...

It's more than likely related to busoshoku mastery plus fully connecting with your sword (animism, this will be the difference between something like a bamboo stick and a blade) and giving your life to battling (the main trait shared by the three black blade users —Ryuma, Mihawk and in the...

The big problem with the ZKK theory is that it became an almost cultist movement. "ZKK" itself and how many users repeated it mindlessly (still remember Finalbeta spamming that ZKK triptych of covers) pretty much evolved into a political motto; sometimes it felt like by questioning the theory...

Bonney is going to fall in love with Sanji only to be ultimately confirmed that she's a kid; to Sanji's disgrace.

I know that, you didn't get my post: if the logia class is a lie and its fruits are actually mythical zoans, then why hasn't Vegapunk recreated logia fruits when he has the knowledge to recreate mythical zoans.
