We're encountering an inevitable problem with manga and other media like it... fire is an easy way to make attacks look dope, but when you introduce a whole race of people with fire powers, suddenly fire ceases to be meaningless detail and suggests a whole series of connections that probably...

Good theory. I struggle with the idea of Sanji being Lunarian, because that potentially undercuts the whole point of his character - he's strong because he's passionate. His fire comes from his deep feeling, not from some genetic predisposition. To make him Lunarian would be to undercut a lot of...

Speculating about Im at this point is, sadly, so fruitless, lol. We know nothing, don't even have an inkling of what Im could be.

Bepo gonna be the new captain of the Beast Pirates by the end of this...

Not even much to say here- I like this theory a lot. Even without the parallels to Alvida and Koby, I think it makes sense for Kaido to have been a little weakling. The Koi metaphor works with that, and it's also just a compelling arc for him. To have the invincible creature once have been an...

Respect. For real, tho, I think it's gonna depend on his fruit. If he really does have some awakened weather control fruit, he's probably top 3 on that alone.

Chopper gets the last hit on one of Kaido's high-ranking pirates and ends up with a bounty bigger than Sanji and Usopp.

BB is a shithead to the core, he'll definitely make some comment like this when the showdown happens.

It would be cool to have a Zoan Admiral, since we haven't really seen that. Which is surprising based on the animal names, too.

I can see God Valley being tied to the Celestial Dragons somehow. We know there were some Dragons and slaves present at the time of the incident. And the fact that the island "mysteriously disappeared" is hella sketchy. We know that the Dragons have likely wiped an island off the map before...

I can see it having been an uncharacteristic act, but why would he killed Cobra or Vivi? It's still gotta make some sense narratively, even if it would be out of character for Sabo himself. With the dissolution of the SW, supported by Cobra, Alabasta is actually helping to oversee the...

My man Bon Clay. :josad:

I don't know if that's entirely true. Blackbeard cares about power, which isn't the same as strength. Political power, which involves things like loyalty, is important to him, as well. He knows that strength is a part of the power he wants, but it's not the whole thing.

While I don't know about Blackbeard mirroring Whitebeard, I do think the structure has more to do with loyalty than strength. Because OP is a shonen anime, people tend to assume more importance or rank = more strength. When that's not necessarily the case. Sengoku was probably strong as hell...

Yeah, Dragon is I always who I think about in this discussion. He probably is one of the strongest people, but it doesn't have anything directly to do with bounty. Trying to predict the next Straw Hat is always hella hard because of this. Like, part of me thinks Yamato because of the parallel...

Real. I feel like bounty, as a concept, tends to get misunderstood. Like it equates to power level or acclaim. I always thought it was much more that all your bounty reflected was to what degree you were a threat to the world government. And the whole thing with Luffy and the WG is that they're...

For real. I can't wait until we can really talk about the old generation's skill levels. It feels like so many of these conversations can't happen until we see dudes like Rocks and the rest of that generation in their prime.

Have we talked about the potential relationship between Crimson Riot and Gigantomachia? Do we know what happened to Crimson Riot?

This, pretty much. I was always under the impression that pirate is a loose term for someone who declares themselves unbeholden to the World Government. Regardless of whether or not you have a crew or act like a pirate.
