Spoiler One Piece Chapter 998 Spoilers Discussion

[rerere]

Here’s my final prediction:
King vs Marco, and Zoro vs Queen at first.
Once Sanji gets away from Black Maria, he’ll take on Queen and either:
1) Zoro will move onto Kaido
Or
2) Zoro will take over fighting King, and Marco will move onto Kaido

Thoughts?

I agree overall:
- There are 2 Calamities for 4 characters (Marco, Zoro, Drake, Sanji)
- Zoro will have skirmish with both King and Queen, but will not end the fight. He will proceed to help Luffy with Kaido
- Drake will not fight King, but could take on Queen seen the recent events
- Sanji imo will not fight Kaido, by consequence will take a Calamity. For now Queen seems the safest bet since the Judge reference, but I keep the possibility of him going against King (maybe with some help), expecially if Drake fights Queen
- Marco will not fight Queen imo, but will definitelly fight King for some time. Then he'll probably leave him to Sanji cause he must be a Jack of all trades during this war (giving support to everybody)
- Jack/Who's Who will be Killer/Jimbe opponent imo (still to be cleared), tho they will have still some energy left to give some minor help against Kaido (Killer) and Big Mom (Jimbe) while Sanji imo will go to sleep after his fight
:cheers:

Arlong got his ass whooped whilst Jinbe still remembers Who's Who's appearance. I doubt Jinbe negged him like that.

Wtf are you talking about? Buggy is the only exception because of his freaking crew worth of ID prisoners and Co, meanwhile all Shichibukai got their rank due to their strength.
And unlike Croc and Moriah, who got their will broken, Who's Who still hangs around the New World; being part of the second highest rank of a Yonko crew, rivaling the All Stars.

IF Who's Who is a former Shichibukai, this elevates the Flying Six even higher as a whole.

Oh ok, not Buggy, make it Moria then. Mine was just an example to infer how the title of Shichibukai can't be used as a vessel to determine power levels. Not by itself.

I think you are trying extremely hard to avoid Sanji vs King

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

The community is gonna be in complete disarray when:
1) Marco fights King
2) Zoro and Sanji tag team Queen

Ask me how I knew in like a month.

 

[KaidoBigBoy]

Well fighting Jinbe doesn't sound so powerful. Didn't Arlong accomplish the same?

Shichibukai aight? Buggy is also one. :)

Arlong also fought with the future pirate king. This argument is weak, you need to compare it with the current strength of the character

 

[Hanzo hattori]

So... pictures will come out today instead of tomorrow?

 

[Bil02]

I hate this asshole of Ace

I assure you we all do

Nope it's the other way around. This is exactly what I was saying.

Fighting Jinbe doesn't automatically make you strong.

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

That’s possible too. But this really seems like Khalifla -> Jyabura situation.

Zoro was fighting Jyabura before Sanji took over. I can very easily see something similar happening here but with Marco in the mix as well.

 

[Bil02]

At best : Ace actually injures Kaido/has significant positive portrayal vs him

At worst : Ace fucks up one of Kaido's former allstars just like Urouge did with Snack

Where is the option Ace gets neg diffed and captured?

 

[Sentinel]

Prime Moriah wasn't weak. He just got kicked his ass so hard by Kaido in the New World, probably saw how Kaido slaughtered his entire crew, he grew massively lazy to mainly rely on the strength of someone else instead of his own.

Thriller Bark Moriah was a pure shadow of his prime self and if you remember correctly, the WG tried to get rid of him accordingly bcoz of him growing far weaker.

[RayanOO]

I wonder when Gin met Jimbe

I think it’s worth noting that Zoro was fighting Jyabura before Sanji showed up. I can very easily see Marco fighting King and Zoro fighting Queen, then they each bump up a level when Sanji arrives. Sanji fights Queen, Zoro moves onto King, and Marco moves onto Kaido.

Oh? Make that Crocodile then.

Pre TS Crocodile = Who is Who going by this logic. :)

 

[Bil02]

I get that Idea Oda wants to retcon Ace's powerlevel but why bring him up so often?

He's becoming a plot device at this point.

Was Ace that loved by the Japanese community?

 

[EmperorKinyagi]

Wasn’t Zoro fighting Kaku AND Jyabura before Sanji showed up?

What if Zoro fights King AND Queen for a bit before Sanji shows up?

The wank would be unbelievable.

Ace is dead and he’s like the 2nd most popular character outside of the straw hats

He was "stalling" (they were just losing their time for no reason) both Kaku and Jabura.
Zoro vs Queen and Marco vs King until Sanji takes King is more reasonable.

Btw the 2 vs 2 is more probable every chapter.
It might be really cool or awful
