Second mate/Left hand men: A leader's second best subordinate. In One Piece it's normally a combination of many traits such as position in the hierarchy, their strength, their story portrayal, their loyalty to the captain, how much their captain trusts them, general competence, the respect they...

Blackbeard's status and fame has risen to be equivalent to the Yonko. So why isn't anyone targeting him? Luffy and Law are targeting Kaido. X-Drake is a spy working against him. Kid and Hawkins were targeting Shanks. Capone infiltrated Big Mom's crew intending to assassinate her. Urouge, Apoo...

One of the single greatest enemies you ever faced, who gave you your biggest scar, who stood up to your thousand man army with 9 other men, that had to be taken out dishonorably from behind using a hostage, is the man your own daughter came to admire -- beyond that, she came to idolize and...

Chapter 982 revisited the question Kaido had for the Scabbards who jumped through time back when we found out Kanjuro was the traitor. This is Kaido when he found out some of the Scabbards time jumped and their spy Kanjuro contacted them for the first time in 20 years: Kaido said the...

We've been given the impression lately that Apoo, unlike Hawkins, was already part of Kaido's crew for some time. He led Kaido to Kid's base, he reported to Kaido that Jack went missing, and important to note that he already seems to be familiar with the Golden Festival. Maybe he has not been...

Let's say there's a way to replace Jack in the All-Star rank without taking him out before the war. Would you be in favor of Jack getting replaced? Arguments for: 1) Jack has taken far too many Ls, broken a blade, and has lost the reader's respect as a threat. 2) Jack is the perfect tool for...

Rank them in terms of your opinion on their Design, their Strength, and Relevance. Relevance means how much you think they will do in the story. In Big Mom's crew, Veterans Perospero and Oven where in multiple battlefields with lots of panel time and thus high relevance. By comparison, Veteran...

The artificial Zoan SMILE has provided an innovative twist on animal abilities. It seems like the users can harness specific body parts of an animal, rearranged and attached or as a replacement onto any part of their normal body. The body parts don't even have to be proportional as Daifugo's...

Think of all the powerful and useful Devil Fruits as well as their users. Which are abilities that the Blackbeard pirates should realistically know about and be capable of hunting down? Here's a set of criteria: 1) The BB Pirates have to know this person exists and what power they posses. For...

Toki may not have the power to see into the future, but I'm sure everyone believes her vague prediction here will be on the mark anyway. With Kanjuro's betrayal, we're left with only 8 shadow for the 8 Scabbards. There are multiple ways to still make it 9 which don't include Kanjuro. Heck...

Welcome to the Zoan Club! A corner to discuss and appreciate the most overlooked and underappreciated Devil Fruit class in the series. What is a Zoan? Zoan is one of the three Devil Fruit classes in One Piece. The term is likely derived from Zoanthropy, a term referring to the...

The Five Elders are the oldest unnamed significant characters in the series, and they are pretty much alone in this regard. Im-sama only entered the story recently and that may already be a name. Everyone else got theirs long ago. Background characters get them in databooks. Yet the Five Elders...

When people talk about what happened to Wano during the 5 years Oden came back and made a deal with Orochi/Kaido, it's important to note the other Daimyo never had a response to the Wano of this period. Oden was made to act like a buffoon, the other Daimyo were not. The truth is, we don't know...

This chapter gave us an easily overlooked blurb of missing dialogue from Roger. It causes Whitebeard to laugh and call him a kid, while Oden is left with his mouth open. It's a reference to this scene. A missing proclamation from Luffy caused the same kind of shock and confusion. I imagine...

Blackbeard and Oden share an unusual amount of similarities and probably got to know each other well back in the day. It's even possible Blackbeard's life plans were influenced by what he saw from Oden's path. Regardless, I doubt we'll ever get Blackbeard's thoughts on Oden unless he becomes an...

The story of Blackbeard begins with him joining Whitebeard's crew to find a Devil Fruit. His most defining moment pre-TS is Blackbeard acquiring a second Devil Fruit and declaring it was his era. Even though it feels like all the attention is on Blackbeard, he himself knows a powerful crew is...

Oden's retainers, for the most part, seem to posses some thematic sword elemental style. Is it possible they all learned their bits and pieces from Oden? Oden's black and white ying yang blades could represent that not only is his sworsmanship in harmony with himself, but one with the natural...

One of the more interesting aspects of this first invasion is thinking how will Oda handle the Sulong, the Mink's last resort and ultimate technique. If you believe the alliance is destined to fail and suffer tragedy as long Big Mom's forces are unaccounted for, will this really be Sulong's time...

You've thought of it at some point. What if you could use this guy's DF ability in an entirely new way? What if the Gomu Gomu user was a swordsman? Or maybe you're familiar with Shinjojin's Rokushiki Robin (Hana Hana no Mi) Post your ideas below: Kage Kage - Speedy Swordsman Door Door -...

You are in charge of the Marines. You have two objectives post-Reverie: 1) Protect Mary Geoise from a Revolutionary attack should they choose to retaliate for Sabo. 2) Capture (or kill if unavoidable) the remaining Warlords before they cause the WG trouble or ally with other pirates. You have...
