General & Others What are some similarities you noticed between some one piece characters?

#23
Apoo and Jinbe I guess
Both from different race,
Fought the Big Mom Pirates,
Jinbe is called the "Knight of the Sea" and Apoo is called the "Roar of the Sea"
Both have weird hairstyles
Apoo was an "ally' to Kid while Jinbe joined the Straw Hats
Apoo is friend with Kaido who is called the "World Strongest Creature" and Jinbe is friend with Whitebeard who was called the "World Strongest man"

Since we're talking similarities, I will repost again what I said some days ago

Jinbe ~ King
- both have second highest bounty in their crew
- both almost sinked Big Mom
- both clearly aren't afraid in front of Big Mom, one mentioned her as "mere yonko", one refused her direct invitation
- both have elemental epithet. First Son of the Sea Jinbe and King the Wildfire
-
both made big name players shit their pants. King made Perospero shitted his pants, Jinbe made Law and Kidd shitted their pants


Sanji ~ Queen
- both have third highest bounty in the crew
- both are the womanizer in trio. Queen fanboying Komurasaki and Sanji fanboying almost every women
- both fought against Big Mom. Sanji blocked her attack toward Reiju, Queen fought her in Udon. Both survived without fainting


Zoro ~ Jack
- both have fourth highest bounty in the crew
- both lost their weapon in Wano. One got broken in a fight, one got stolen by fodder
- both kept getting bandaged
- both are being made fun by their superior(s). Jack got clowned by King and Queen, Zoro got clowned by Sanji (regarding bounty)
- both looked more intimidating in their debut, but not really anymore in latest chapters

• wanted family in place of one either lost or never had
To expand on this; it's a common theme among OP characters. Not just Law and Whitebeard, also Luffy, Ace, Big Mom, Doffy, the list goes on and on.
This is derived from the orphan theme of the series. There are more orphans than you can count on 50 hands.

Also the absence of mother figures is very prominent in general.

Except Hawkins literally let them go because Law was going to kill them to get to him if he didn't accept. Oda clearly let that be known.
He let them go because he had no choice but to listen to Law’s threat and take it seriously, lest he follow through. This is why it was framed as the “threats of a man who has nothing to lose.” The moment he watched Hawkins cut himself and the cut show up on the arm of one of his crew, he submitted.
No shit no one wants to kill their crewmates as their first option, you want to give him an award for that? The fact that it was even an option shows how vastly different Law is from WB.
It was never an option for Law. He said it in order to get Hawkins to relinquish his life dolls. Law was never going to kill his crew.
Lmfao first of all, you didn't say anything to counter that he disagreed with Luffy. He did not like Luffy feeding them, period. There was no omission, stop making stuff up.

Second of all are we talking about the same Law who did nothing to stop the children from suffering and was indifferent to CC experimenting on them as long as he benefited from the situation? Now that's an omission.

Law isn't some saint, not even close to WB in that regard, stop forcing this weird narrative.
No, I didn’t, because it was irrelevant. You said Law doesn’t protect and secure the weak. This was a lie. I showed Law’s actions contradicting his words and what you said.

Yes, this was the same Law that we’re talking about. It doesn’t negate that he does protect and secure the weak, when he wants to. Which is no different than Whitebeard. For instance, Whitebeard knew the homeland of his friend was under Kaido’s rule for two decades following the death of Oden, where was Whitebeard protecting the people Oden cared about, given that he knew what type of man Kaido was? When he realized something was wrong with the situation surrounding Teach, as he admitted watching Ace leave, where was he trying to stop Ace and getting justice for Thatch on his own? Where was Whitebeard when, knowing the type of person Big Mom was, she started instituting a lifespan tax on her citizens? And Whitebeard probably knew all about the World Government, hell he heard the story from Roger himself, why did he not move against the World Government and protect all of the slaves? Perhaps because it didn’t benefit him, as you alleged of Law?

None of them are saints. Whitebeard wasn’t, hell Luffy and his crew aren’t. They worked with slavers on Sabaody, for instance. It happens. They’re pirates.
As predicted "I'm sure you're going to come up with a response talking about more irrelevant similarities, and how the differences I mentioned don't really exist. Save yourself the time."
As stated prior, “ Don’t sit there and condescend to me about parallels and “irrelevant similarities” when you have to invent bullshit to disprove it. I never said everything has to be one hundred percent similar, only that Law and Whitebeard are similar and pointed those similarities out. Luffy is a clear parallel to Roger, and neither one of them are exactly the same as the other.”

True, but I’d contend that with Law and a Whitebeard, it’s more explicit than others. For example, you mention Ace. Ace didn’t want a family, he wanted to know if it was ok for him to exists. He found that answer in a family. Luffy wanted to not be lonely as a kid. He found the answer in a family. They never sought the family, they just found it.

Whitebeard sought the family, that was his goal. Law sought to join the family he lost, found a family, and then wanted to keep it, then wanted to avenge it after it was lost. I’d say that for Whitebeard and Law, family is more integral to them than anyone else.

Yes. But the answer to what they've all been looking for is family. If they were aware of that or not is irrelevant.

Ace and Luffy couldn't have been aware of that because they never had one and therefore didn't realise what they were looking for. So they were just struggling until they actually did find it.

Law is different, he already KNEW what a family is. So it's logical that he in fact knows what he wants. Now I can't make claims about Whitebeard because I don't know, but I am betting he saw an example of it and desired attaining it.

My point is, it's just as integral to the rest of them, even though it wasn't intentional.
