I’m going to post some Marine predictions here, I’m going to go all out with Marine love lol. If I take an “L”, I go down betting on my bois. My parameters:
I predict that each of these will actually happen in the OP manga itself. If any of these get stated or confirmed in a Vivre Card/data book/magazine/movie/anime or any of that other fanservice crap, I count it as an “L”. So it can’t simply be ‘true’, it must actually happen in the manga itself. Here we go:
1. It will be confirmed that having Conqueror’s Haki is a requirement to attain the Admiral rank.
2. We will actually see Vice Admirals
clashing evenly with characters as strong as EOS Zoro and Sanji. Specifically I’m thinking about some of the Marineford VAs like Onigumo/Doberman/Strawberry/Dalmatian/Momonga etc.
3. Koby will not become an Admiral by the final war. Maybe after, who knows who cares. But “Admiral” Koby and Luffy will never fight.
4. Fujitora will be an explicit ally during the final war against the Celestial Dragons, and will become the “Fleet Admiral” of whatever organization replaces the Marines at EOS.
5. Smoker will become a Straw Hat before or during the final war. He will actually leave the Navy and join the main Straw Hat crew as an official Nakama.
6. Sakazuki…fuck it. After Luffy vs Sakazuki happens, Sakazuki gets back up and joins in in the battle against Imu/the Seraphim/the Celestials. This is a bold one but I think Oda likes him too much just to have Luffy punch his lights out and him disappear from the manga after that lol.
7. All Admirals will show Awakening. Yes even Fujitora, I think Kaku showing Awakening really destroyed the timeframes we thought Awakening would take. Plus the quote people cite with Fujitora thinking he doesn’t have awakening is a mistranslation anyway.
8. And lastly, as I’ve already said 1,000 times before, we will get explicit confirmation that Ryokugyu has a black blade and forged it himself.
