Current Events Reminder that Aokiji can’t be the 10th unless Gatz has better intel than Doffy and the Gorosei

#1
Doflamingo and the Gorosei clearly didn’t know that Aokiji is the 10th (if that really is the case) since they were saying that they had only heard rumors about Aokiji affiliating with BB. Gatz is the one who revealed BB has 10 YCs, so Aokiji can’t be one of those 10 unless Gatz knows better than Doffy and the Gorosei. Wanted to make this thread since I’m seeing a resurgence of people saying Aokiji is the 10th.

I don't see how it can be impossible. Gatz and the world might have known Teach has 10 Titanic Captains but without necessarily knowing who is the 10th one (given Kuzan is a pretty recent addition in the crew). Same for the Gorosei and Doffy. So it's possible Kuzan became one not so long before the Punk hazard/Dressrosa arcs.

So what's the process here? Blackbeard informs the world that he has 10 other ships directly under his crew's command and when asked for proof of this supposed tenth captain he just goes "trust me bro"?

I don't see how a tenth captain can be acknowledged publicly with no actual proof of their identity.
 

Garp the Fist

Bwahahahaha

I agree it doesn’t make sense.

I just don’t think Oda cares, and I don’t think there is a mysterious tenth anymore. It’s not like Oda to not try and hype something like that, and there’s been zero actual buildup for any tenth member other than Kuzan. No silhouettes, no “I can’t believe that guy joined Blackbeard”, nada.

The excuse will be something along the lines of Blackbeard did something, there was ten flagships there, it was rumoured that Kuzan was seen there as a leader but it wasn’t confirmed until later.

Rumors work a lot in the One Piece world.
In the same logic, I doubt Dragon told everyone Sabo is his second-in-command. Yet, a lot of people knew it for Sabo.

It depends on how fast the news spread. Seeing how eager BB is to make tge WG look bad in the news. In the same morning news deannounced Doffy's resignation. With a day before Doffy saying the news h heard of Kuzan not being pretty.

Oda literally retconned Shanks fleet being powerful into weaklings
Retconned Luffy’s fruit

You think he can't say "kuzan was always thr 10th captain..
Just that kept identity hidden, so people assumed it was some other guy"
Was it ever stated that shanks had the strongest fleet

I only remember the statement that shanks had the most balanced crew

Yeah, but Sabo is a publicly known person. This is assuming as confirmed that there's a tenth captain under Blackbeard in spite of no person being reported as such (unlike, again, Sabo).

Not the same logic in the slightest.

Indeed, Shanks' fleet has never been addressed as the strongest or anything, only his crew has been stated to be the most balanced.
