Zoro can hold all the three admirals while Luffy saves ace.
Interesting... You think Zoro can survive 3v1?
Akainu would taunt him again and he would fall for it and die in the process, maybe not saving Luffy but directly falling victim to Akainu
I can imagine Akainu mocking WB, Luffy and Sabo...
The world governement is defeated,
Would there be any casualties?
1: Any of them can stall him without problems. They dont have to engage in close quarters for a win, just keep him at bay.
2: Better, of course. But 3 vs 1 is still too much, especially when one of them is Akainu.
3: Sabo already had AdCoA (ryou) in Dressrosa. It wouldnt surprise me at all if ”The Flame Emperor” also has CoC. Until 1 month ago he was a haki man with a steel pipe.
4: Egghead Zoro > Vista. Skirmish with Mihawk in full control at all times, Zoro holds his own. No one gets any serious damage unless Mihawk gets blood lusted for some reason.
5: Yeah. I dont see Jinbei progressing much between Marineford and Egghead. He was already ≈ Ace and > Moriah back then. His mental & physical stats are likely prime, experience is also top. He could perhaps add a technique or two but otherwise I dont see any big improvement, he is a Shichibukai/YC2 guy.
6: Stranger things have taken place in this series.
7: Perhaps that PED Zoro got, a variation on whatever Hyogoro got, Hody Jones drugs or that Alabasta drug those guards took. WB was intent on dying anyway, he would gladly trade his remaining life for 30 minutes of max strength.
Yeah, but who do you think will be the most eager to stall him?
They will definitely take him seriously this time, eh?
That's an interesting take on Sabo...
You think Egghead Zoro is now better than Vista? I'm interested to know your take on Egghead Zoro vs. Yasopp (Vista's rival for unknown reasons)...
Not sure on this, but he's just in his 40s... In OPverse, some characters in their 50s are still improving, only to decline past that age...
In that case, it would be interesting to see Sanji's Attack Cuisine and Chopper's PEDs in play...
That's a good point on WB...
None of the admirals would give Luffy “easier” time. However, Kuzan and Kizaru are the least tricky to fight when you consider Luffy’s skillset. He also definitely can fight, and even beat, Akainu too but he would need to make significant use of Haki in that case. For Luffy, he does not need to beat the admirals, he can play the perfect role of a support here so that WB can use his high end attacks to wreak havoc on the battlefield without worrying about random lasers or ice balls.
I think Sanji beats Doflamingo but it would take quite some time. Doflamingo has really high endurance and fighting against awakening can also be quite tricky. He definitely makes the life a lot easier for Marco and Jozu though. If Oda makes a retcon and adds Chaton and Momousagi to the war, he can engage and keep Chaton occupied or free up manpower (Marco) to engage them too. Plus, Sanji-Doflamingo match-up also works in favor of Oars Jr.
In Egghead, Franky one shotted a VA, I don’t think Robin and Brook are that far off from Franky in terms of strength level. They should be able to neutralize VAs themselves too. Brook can especially do a lot of work against Pacifista army with his freezing powers. I think Sentomaru is above the pay grade of Mid-Trio but we now have Ivankov, Jinbei, Jozu, Vista etc. for that.
For the war to be more interesting, Sengoku needs to fight seriously and CP0 needs to join. Assuming it is the pre-timeskip line-up for CP0, a guy like Guernica can make it extremely problematic for commanders.
That's an interesting take, Kizaru being one of those who can give Luffy an "easier" time, since he kinda struggled against an "uninterested" Kizaru...
The thing with Sanji and Doflamingo is that the latter amputated a YC-tier opponent in Jozu, but the former easily defeated a YC-tier opponent in Queen (albeit handicapped since Queen doesn't have his weapon at the time)... I wonder if Sanji's exoskeleton and increased speed would make a difference now since he was almost killed by Doflamingo in Dressrosa...
The thing with Robin, we saw her got beaten off-screen (until now we still don't know what happened) and have yet to fully recover in the most recent chapter... While Brook, we have yet to see him fight a VA-caliber opponent 1v1... He did engage against Perospero and Black Maria wherein he almost died (w/ Chopper) against the former and never directly engage against the latter (he's just there to sweep the fodders)... Though yeah, Brook can definitely beat Pacifistas...
I can see Sengoku taking on Luffy while Garp takes on WB...
