@Lifeismeh Regarding what we were talking about in the spoiler thread. Here's why i feel reusing Seiryu is unlikely.
- It's extremely odd, repetitive and boring from Oda's part to have Luffy pummel the same creature twice as his main fights in two separate gigantic arcs. Could you even tolerate a v2.0 Kaido but obese spamming Boro Breath and using every single attack that Kaido already displayed on panel as Luffy's EoS fight?
- Post-Levely we saw that BB is going to clash with the Marines to take something valuable, he's the least likely stakeholder to show up at Wano.
- A mythical Zoan dragon fits Kaido's gimmick well if we link it with Ryuma's legend of slaying a dragon, but BB is based on Edward Teach someone whose braided beard and slow burning fuses made the people describe him as a devil. In fact, his own Jolly Roger is saluting the devil while spearing a heart with 3 drops of blood (likely representing his 3 DFs). The Jolly Roger was a technique used to instill fear into his enemies. A devil Zoan would also be suitable considering the enmity between the D. clan and the World Nobles who claim to be the descendants of gods.
There's also a quote from his ledger that says: "
Only the devil and I know the whereabouts of my treasure, and the one of us that lives the longest should take it all". Imo, Teach's insomnia could be a side effect of consuming the devil Zoan. There's a tale about Teach's ghost roaming the afterlife fearing the devil won't recognize his decapitated body, maybe the fruit allows him to control two different beings (himself and the devil fruit's devil). I think we will know about that in Vegapunk's arc when the secret behind devil fruits is uncovered.
If history repeats itself and Kaido gets slain in front of the citizens of the flower capital when Momo awakens his cloud levitation power and prevents Onigashima from falling, it would be anticlimactic for BB to revive the same nightmare again and diminish the payoff of a narrative play that would come into effect in Wano only. That's why i believe a devil/ghostly figure Zoan suits BB's gimmick more.
I think BB having Kaido DF can be as interesting as Oda wanted to be, since he have two other DFs, am not worried much about it being interesting since I don't see Oda focusing on making BB repeating Kaido moves, BB powers will be interesting mainly because of how he will mix his different powers and make his unique fighting style that only he can achieve
you have made a solid connection bwirh Teach supposedly representing a Devil, but am not sure the evidence is there that the connection here is about his DF, maybe Teach is just special period and the connection will be more about his past rather than his future
I have many reasons to believe BB is taking Kaido fruit honestly, there's no definitive proof but the build up and hints are very strong
1) BB now have Moria, I don't believe for one second Moria is not getting involved in Kaido saga, Especially when BB himself have solid reasons to be involved
2) one of the main traits that BB pirates have is they steal DFs, it was treated as a major plot point when Jinbe talked about it, this is something that will affect the plot for sure meaning we will see BB do it, he will still more DFs on panel, and he will do it to major characters ( otherwise it won't affect the plot much)
3) BB connection to Rocks are rather obvious, but so is Kaido, BB and Kaido actually share many similarities , and those similarities trail back to Rocks
similar to Rocks both BB and Kaido main plan was form a crew from the most dangerous and well known pirates in the world, BB infiltrated ID for that cause, and Kaido has been recruiting strong pirates for years
both BB and Kaido also want to turn their islands to a paradise for pirates
I don't think this is a coincidence , both characters are influenced by the same person, Wich will lead to their conflict, I totally imagine a scenario where most pirates on beehive island leave teach to join Kaido after they hear Wano is the new paradise, leading to BB plan to kill Kaido
4) BB presence in Ace flashback and story overall, I don't think it was just a nod, teach thought Ace wanted to take Kaido because he's a big shot, because that's something BB would want to do as well, BB will give it a shot for his own reasons that's what I took from that flashback
5) the abilities that BB crew have will be used for such scenarios, at this point we know Oda well enough to conclude a crew who have someone with invisibility fruit and someone who can copy people appearance and someone who can hypnotize people will definitely have moments where they trick everybody either with a shocking appearance or trying to trick and backstab someone...ect
am confident BB third DF is Kaido DF, and will happen way later, because Kaido falling is still far off from happening anyway
