Questions & Mysteries About Blackbeard Crew Dynamics

[kekaro]

I see where you're coming from but the more you explore this route of Pizarro's potential via size the less he feels like a Sanji opponent. Rather as opposed to a main boss of sorts he feels more like a field boss than and end-game opponent in rpg terms.


Completely disagree with this and I've already made this argument a million times.

①Like @park_min young already stated pre-ts when all the BB Pirates fell victim to Ace's Hiken, he was the only one that evaded it.
②Like I already pointed out in my prior post, when Pizarro threatened to steal Teach's sit as Captain, Lafitte was the one that put him in his place. This very check is very strong indication of Lafitte's strength. Can you see Nami checking a violent level 6 prisoner in the likes of Pizarro that just joined the crew?
③ He possesses one of the very rare flight type zoans in the series which Oda intially stated there were only 5 of. Some examples of characters with similar fruits are King, Marco and Pell. Why would Oda give a scrub a rare flight DF?
④ Also like I already pointed out in my vid, in Lafitte's intial setting for his vivre card, he was directly recruited by Teach from what appeared to be Whitebeard's ship as a "partner". Can a character with this type of setting really be a scrub, to give a few in story examples, Shanks tried to recreuit Marco and Linlin tried to recruit King, and none of them were even recruited as partners but rather as subordinates

Dont care about your guys discussion but its also worth pointing out that if the wings are Lafittes DF ability, lafitte is the ONLY bbp out of all that had his DF BEFORE anyone else pre-ts and has the last reveal which is suss
Oda could easly shown him flying when we got the chapter he surveiled solo and named his df like the rest of the BBP

Ahiryu pre-time skip had the hype of Magallen equal or maybe even superior. Who clowned the entire BBP back then.

Sure. But folks like Pizarro, Vasco Shot, Devon were the strongest among level 6 prisoners, where guys like Croc, Jimbei, Doffy, etc get locked up. Why dont you buy their hype then?

How close do you think they will be to admiral level?

I will just say this. They will be as strong as their role demands.

They sure will get stronger i have no doubt, the problem is everyone beside Kuzan is dogass, but even when (not if) they get stronger their boring ability are not changing.
Like you cant me hyped about the 4th big dude or invisible guy, no matter how strong they are

Well Oda thinks they are interesting Oda once said in SBS that he would join Blackbeard crew if he was really strong

I think the rules will be different. It was a old theory that davy back fight will come back again and with davy jones and xebec playing it too its now almost 100% and BB crew seems the best fit.

Some people say cross guild but that doesnt make sense to me. CG has 3 named characters and i assume most people want a "real" zoro vs mihawk fight so its actually only 2 who would even do a davy back fight so whats the point there?

So Mihawk beats Shiryu in Davy Back and thats how the Zoro vs Mihawk happens?

Bruh lafite's DF seems plain dove DF? It's a basic zoan DF. Oda in post skip haven't placed in combat scenarios but in different scenarios like covert operations. Anyways let's agree to disagree.

Fair enuff but doesn't it at all stand out to you that he's being tasked with such important missions?
It isn't an overstatment to say that when Lafitte is on of his solo missions for the BB Pirates it results in significant implications for the overall story. We saw that with Teach's nomination for Shichibukai and now whilst Lafitte is observing the marijoea we find out that it's on fire? Plus we know Teach has some grand plan in mind as implied from his convo with Lafitte.

With regards to his DF, it's still unclear what it is, but it certainly isn't a plain Dove DF.
We've seen him use partial transformation already once, which is only possible for mythical zoans.

Don't think him having a DF before everyone else is a bad ting, if anything it's good prospects for a potential awakening with him.
With regards to your comment on Oda revealing his DF, why would he when he doesn't have to? Moreover we know that Lafitte is currently on an important mission for Teach so could be that his DF could be a signifcant factor in the success of that mission. Oda revealing it could've given the secret away.

Lastly, mystery has always been a fundamental part of Lafitte's character so it's not surprising that a shit ton of folks on here think he's fodder but some of us know better :p. Anyways my point is that, Oda being coy about Lafitte's DF is in the character makeup.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's just sus

Everything I listed goes against the pattern of the other BBP pirates
Even him being solo

 

[JDragon20]

It's Sanji vs Pizarro or Shot for me. And honestly I don't think Koby is gonna be their period. He isn't important narratively enough to be there for the crews ultimate fights.

 

[gz89]

Ohh so Rayleigh, Sabo, Beckman are trash now? What a clown take lmao

Ray is the exception there.
Aside from Ray and maybe Beckman, Kuzan solos all the others in that list.

Pizarro is the best bet and honestly is the most impressive beast pirate barring Kuzan. Shiliew’s an absolute fraud! Took damage from a basic body slam whilst Pizarro was eating CoC imbued named attacks from Garp. There are levels to this. If Pizarro merges with a continent or land mass beyond an island which is what his awakening should do , no one barring an admiral level fighter is taking him out.

Discounted Pica

Pizzaro turning into continent level would only make him a bigger target.

Lafitte is far too weak to be Sanji’s fight. Dude already had his DF pre-skip and was treated as fodder.

1. No he’s the only BBP that was able to evade Aces fire fist in Banaro island. And the Magellan scene was because they were over confident.
2. He’s never been confirmed to have had a fruit pre timeskip
3. He literally threatened to kill Pizarro if he stepped out of line
