Speculations Did Ryokugyu beat Weevil fair and square, or did he use hostages?

Did GB use hostages?

I'm going with Aramaki simply being him. He does seem to have forged a black blade, after all, so he's clearly no slouch.
Also, like you and some others said, he seems to have a low iq, so Aramaki could have used that to his advantage.
I mean the dude's dumb enough for him to just go "Look over there!" and then get stabbed with a plant while he's distracted
Weevil's a terrible hypetool though. It's like using some random Rocks Pirate like Gloriosa as a hypetool. His powerlevel is totally undefined, so it's meaningless

I mean yeah but we do get someone equal to Aramaki hyping Weevil and says he's as strong as young Whitebeard (which probably just refers to physical strength or something like that, but still).

It may be revealed in the future, but for now, it seems like Ryokugyu just no/low diffed him

Anything else is blatant propaganda


We already had the same threads when that chapter released lmao
According to Bakkin Weevil resisted but he ended up losing because he was simply up against stronger than him, there's no implication of any underhanded tactic.


Not Sandman thinking Weevil is gonna be > Admirals lmao

It doesn’t make any sense though for Ryo to not order his men to also steal WB’s treasures. He believes they have no rights since they’re not a part of the WG, and Charlos-sama would greatly appreciate getting WB’s vast treasures from his loyal dog Aramaki
The lady said Greenbull wasn’t pulling his punches so I doubt weevil even made a deal like I said he seems too stubborn and stupid to even do that, Weevil seems like the type to brawl with anybody even if he loses except for whitebeard.

they probably did take the loot after weevil was submitted

Obviously, the whole point of having Ryokugyu smoke Weevil was for him to get some hype back.

That’s literally the only reason he’s mentioned, he won’t even be with Weevil next time we see both characters lmao
This is only half right.

It is a reminder first that both of those characters exist in the story and will remain relevant, Oda likes to name drop to help magnify the scale of the setting by bringing up characters who are currently arcing on the other side of the world. It makes the whole thing seem more alive.

More importantly, it is a clear explanation for our future reference when the straw hats arrive at a place where Weevil wouldn’t otherwise normally be and he is there locked up. It is like the meeting between Kidd, Apoo, and Hawkins but without any screen time—it served to hype up Kaido but more importantly to explain how those three ended up in Wano.

also,
More likely he will in fact be wherever Greenbull is so that GB’s defeat and Weevil’s release and alliance/fight with Luffy will happen at once.
Post automatically merged:

Whole incident is only mentioned to give context to Weevil’s reappearance in the story later, not necessarily to hype anyone up. Third option is that Weevil is so stupid he walked right into a trap and no one had to fight at all.

also why are some of you so mad about this

He was just talking about physical strength. Weevil has no DF, and there's no way he has good Haki
First: no, that's (silly) headcanon for no other reasons to downplay Ryo.

Secodly: Weevil Is a fruit user. We have been knowing since ten years.

I have King > Weevil. GB doesn't need under handed method to beat someone like weevil.
With all due respect, Weevil Is described as incredibly strong, Is compared to young WB and Is likely WB's clone.

If King can fit that description, then I expect WW to be compared to Young Shanks down the line.

I took young WB as someone who is in his teens. Weevil has raw power of young teen WB. That's all.

something sus must've happened because during weevil's intro when he took down the AO pirates he also caused a lot of environmental damage, but on sphinx it looks like nothing happened.
