General & Others A Message From Oda

#62
but we already know law and BB are fighting?
Yeah im saying that the theme of this might be more fights like it, ala a Free for All before the final war starts. Some examples ive been thinking are:

- Fuji vs Weevil (the 2 characters basically not updated post Wano that had updates after Act 2)
- Shanks going after/terrorizing Luffy's SHF because of Barto lol
- Revolutionaries starting their War, maybe an encounter with Garp/Sengoku?
- The eventual person Kid encounters (if not Shanks again)
- Marines that Cross Guild ends up hunting
- Whomever Luffy fights at Egghead and subsequent arcs.

Kind of what im talking about

Honestly, i think this message is less about 2 specific people and more the "surprising" matchups that will happen as people get closer to One Piece.

An example is BB and Law. It already was surprising, and happening. We could have Fuji vs Weevil, or Shanks attacking SHF members, or Kid finding and attacking the burned scarred man. Or the Revo's assaulting the Marines or WG. Maybe Dragon vs Garp??

That is the "free for all" Oda is specifying here, including future fights on Egghead.
The only thing that throws it off is the part about "there will be a story behind it." Otherwise, I'd be 100 percent on board.

I myself am thinking Luffy vs Shanks, and the *Free for all" pertains to a Davy Back fight.

Hmmm. Other translations say it differently. That the "free for all" is "where the story is heading". Or at least thats what I understand.

This one helps the context:

As in general, the leadup to One Piece/Laugh Tale will essentially be factions potentially taking each other out.

Im still not convinced the final war with the Marines/WG happens before Laugh Tale, but i can see some major moves occur and a reduction of character bloat if he actually can eliminate secondary/tertiary characters beforehand.

If I think more about it, the only logical answer will be Zoro.
Dude was basically acting like a tiger laying dormant, lurking in the shadow all the time during return to Sabaody arc to Wano act 2.
And when he finally shows his fang for first time after timeskip on act 3, he pulled not 1 but 2 impossible tasks never once occured in anyone's dream:
1. Stopping a combined attack from 2 Yonkos. That's basically the best shown on panel feat ever since chapter 1.
2. Defeating the most durable character: even more durable than Kaido whose durability hyped since chapter 795.
JFL at that, zoro fans are a special kind of mentally ill.

If it's Shanks vs Blackbeard, that'd be wild. Maybe too soon since Law vs Teach hasn't even concluded or atleast the aftermath hasn't been shown but I'd definitely like it. Law talked about their bounties growing after their acquiring of powerful fruits so maybe after that fight, Oda will have them jump into their fateful battle against the Red Hairs. Seems like the only really significant thing I'd expect to happen soon.

That person absolutely bodies that other person, but the motherfucker you REALLY gotta watch out for… *a silhouette appears* *twenty years pass* *the bottom half of their face is revealed* :christindeed:
And also

”Character is hinted at 15 years ago or whatever”

”Character gets a somewhat detailed half front silhouette”

”PART of a character’s back silhouette is revealed 10 years ago”

”Character gets mentioned a few more times”

“Character FINALLY gets revealed and ends up looking completely different and the overall reactions are really quiet and disappointing”

:ronalugh:
