But, the base form of the fruit itself is underwhelming because normal CoO can still detect Shiryu's presence and the fruit doesn't boost any physical stats or stuff like that.
However, when the fruit is awaken, expect the fruit to be broken as hell.
The theme of Blackbeard Pirates fights will be Awakened Users.
Strawhats vs Beast Pirates --> Zoan themes.
Strawhats vs Blackbeard Pirates --> Awakening themes.
Well, I hope so.
BBP are so far looking like extreme underdogs compared to Strawhats.
They all keep getting shat on, run, etc.
- Blackbeard needed a minimum of mid diff against Law (who is very DF reliant), after having a DF which is hard counter to DFs. Ran away from Rayleigh, scared at Aokiji.
- BB commanders getting one shot left and right by Aokiji.
- Blackbeard's RHM taking heavy damage from a single attack by Garp, after landing a sneak on him
Absolute clown show, amazing job by Loda to build up the final pirate antagonists of Strawhats
