Here is the most disappointing part if it happened:
- Oda doesn't show Oden vs Rayleigh
- Oda skips a lot of Oden vs Kaido, because he doesn't want to reveal so much about Kaido yet (his Hybrid form as an example)
If that happened, Oden, just like Ace, he would have appeared in story, and getting killed WITHOUT allowing us to witness the extent of his abilities with our own eyes. And we are only left speculating how good he was just by imagination and some pitiful SBS interviews or Databooks LOL.
Oda please, AT LEAST show Oden vs Rayleigh. Both are NON-Devil Fruit Users. There is nothing to spoil except their level of Haki, and we already know what advanced CoO and CoA can do.
Sidenote: I am expecting Rayleigh to get his hype through Oden honestly. I have a feeling that Oda will give a hint of Rayleigh had the upper hand (without allowing oden to be defeated). Kinda like Oden has a speech inside his mind that if the fight continued, he would have lost or by some other way of writing. I have a big feeling that this can happen.
Also, WB and Roger dialog during Marineford war is incoming. Because Roger wants a mutual kill, and during that flashback, WB questioned Roger about is illness saying "So you are dying Roger?" Let's hope the story about the D. is fleshed out more. Oda stop skipping shit hahahaha
