I have a love/hate relationship with this.

I love that Shanks is as good as he always seemed. I hate that he has a damn twin out of nowhere, and no one ever mentioned it before :jordamas:
i love that people who read this manga see Shanks get shown with his whole M.O. being making deals and then shooting people in the back like a dick and go hes such a good boy hes my comfort character etc. Shanks took the poneglyph rubbings from Kid's crew when they begged for their lives, left the ship like they made a deal, then had his boys try to murder them anyway. Shanks made a deal with Bartolomeo (that was a lie), let him go after he refused to lead them to Luffy, and then had his boy shoot them in the back to try and kill them. Shanks is still the guy who came to Marineford and gave the Marines orders and they had to listen. It's not because they were collectively all scared of his strength, it's because he's a fucking celestial dragon lol.

even though Shamrock exists, Shanks is still morally gray.
 
I think King Harald didn't Die,
We've seen this Harald vs Loki in every Single Kingdom before,

Wapol vs Dalton
Cobra vs Koza
Gan Fall vs Wyper
Neptune vs Hody
Doffy vs Kyros
Orochi vs Oden

And in each of these Kingdoms there was a "Hidden Area" that Outsider Villain was interested in,

(In Drum Island Case, We don't know what Blackbeard Found there)
Tomb of Kings in Arabasta
City of Gold in Skypiea
Treasure Room in Fish-Man Island
Smile Factory in Dressrosa
Underwater Area in Wano

So WG want Elbaph also cuz of some kind of Treasure there, (It's almost always some Place Below just like Examples i mentioned above),
But what's interesting is that Rebel Guy never ever Succeeded in taking down the King, their Encounter always ends Unresolved or not in Rebel's Favor, it's unlikely it happened now, especially when it's revealed that Giants aren't allowed there & there is only Single Survivor

I feel like King Harald became a Pirate & He can only be Man With Burn Scar, which explains why No One knows him,
And i still believe He is Lurking Legend that Oda spoke of, cuz He is only Hidden Top Tier who could have met WB only among Top Tiers we've seen so far

If it was Loki or Imu or Xebec or Garling or Shamrock ... etc Oda wouldn't single out WB to describe this Villain's Past,
Harald is Only Candidate so far, and i can feel that slowly in each Arc He is Hyping him beyond Top Tiers

Actually i might go a step further & say that He might be Final Villain,
I know that 99% of Fandom will disagree, but let's wait & see till We find out more about him

Don't forget that One Piece is inspired from Vicki The Viking Cartoon,
King Harald is clearly inspired by Pirate Villain of that Cartoon called "Sven The Terrible" (He resembles him more than Blackbeard does)
but then what abt his devil fruit ?
Loki can only inherit it if herald dies

It depends on your grey scale. Compared to other pirates, he's practically second only to Luffy by niceness.

But he's still a pirate, if he didn't do all that, he would be a nothingburger. You need to hurt people to get there, that's how it works.
 
Here you go.
Tbh it's clear from even the dialogue alone that he didn't use FS. I don't deny he can't have FS. He can be revealed to have it. I just don't think Haki can be used when bound by seastone specially for DF users as shown previously

But let's say Loki used FS to predict all her attacks. But he couldn't predict Gunko asking him the question to join which came way before she attacked. If he did predict everything with FS he would have refused before she even asked the question.
Kata did it with jinbei. Kata predicted his dialogue and responded before the his answer even before jinbei spoke.
So if Loki used FS here, he could have done the same thing here.
 
Are you seriously asking that? Ofc it's massive headcanon.

Not to mention that Sabo has the inferior element, so he is still absolutely FUCKED against Akainu.
What is even his business with Akainu when Luffy is the one getting his payback at Akainu for killing Ace in front of him and giving him PTSD
Oda said a superior DF doesn't make a person a winner when he compared DFs out genius.

Nothing shows Luffy wants any payback, Luffy having the will to pay Akainu bavk what happened to Ace is the same will Sabo having since he inherited Ace's will.
He even took it personally when Teach's officer mentioned How Ace suffered against Teach and destroyed his face let alone the one who killed him lmao.
Oh, so Luffy didn't give a shit about it, so that's why his scar was aching after he heard AKAINU'S NAME in front of him? Sure, that must mean nothing, right? Luffy can talk and react about it calmly because Tama wasn't bringing up the dude responsible for Ace' death. It wasn't a trigger. When Jimbei brought up Akainu, that was the moment when his PSTD kicked in and his scar was aching. But sure, that was for nothing and means shit, right?
Luffy already went past that, if Akainu is his real target he would have put him in his mind.
What's funny is the fact that Luffy himself wanted to go to Marijeoise to save Vivi yet he didn't think about Akainu or getting a revenge for Ace or whatever the fuck you are waffling around.
So it's headcanon to say the guy who has the MOST REASONS to beat Akainu due to the ON PANEL LIFE EVENT which Akainu inflicted on him because there are two other characters who could fight Akainu with less reasons?

How about the possibility that Sabo starts the fight with Akainu, gets his ass kicked but Luffy responds in time because this time, he's powerful enough to protect his only brother? You don't seem to understand about the fact how is it like for Sabo to hear from Ace' death when Sabo was having an amnesia and Ace dying in front of Luffy due to his powerlessness. Sabo could have prevented it but Luffy didn't. In fact, Luffy COULDN'T. That's the whole point. He was starting to give up on his dreams because he was feeling WEAK. He was there, even in front of Ace, but he couldn't save him, he died in front of him.

The fake narrative, that Sabo is fighting Akainu, is Yonko fan agenda anyways since people don't want Akainu to face EoS Luffy or near EoS Luffy and holding his own against him.
You are basically writing a fanfiction, nothing confirms Luffy's fight is Akainu unlike Teach.

The same reasons you have for Akainu vs Luffy are the same for Sabo vs Akainu and what's more is this manga treats the inherited will strongly, Whitebeard said someone would come to inherit Roger's will and also Ace's will.

Sabo fighting and beating Akainu to enforce Ace's inherited will has a strong argument, the same you posted for Luffy and Akainu lmao.

Also Dragon since Akainu hates him hard.
 
Are u serious?
The dude is getting constantly beat up but instead of protecting himself with CoA armor he decides to use FS which is completely useless since he can't move his body to dodge.


Because she attacked him multiple times before that in that same pattern. He even says "Damn it, Again"
Lmao, you are talking with someone who puts headcanons at every corner of his debates lmao
 
And ? Fujitora had a DF and used his sword and Zoro fought him genius.

You wrote nothing, he isn't SHANKS and HAS NO RELATIONS WITH LUFFY.

- Fujitora was a Leader of a faction in Dressrosa.

- His Goal was to capture and help Doffy.

- He respected Luffy and wanted to see his face.

Yet He fought Zoro and not luffy.

Kaku using his legs to send rankyaku is the same way any Fucking CP member is trained under.
Show me Shiki fighting with swordmanship with his leg.
Oda made Kaku using 4 swords to be a swordman to not get mistaken with other CP members you genius.

Mihawk's and Fujitora's points are enough to debunk your whole shit.
So the person that looks exactly like Shanks will have nothing to do whatsoever with Luffy. Gotcha. Braindead mentality hombre
