Seemed pretty creepy to me when he was first introduced. 'Surgeon of death'. Ricky port incident. Working with shady characters like caesar and helping to experiment on kids.
Was never portrayed as deranged. He never helped experiment on kids, rather he’s the one that took Ceaser’s drugs out of them. They’re pirates. They all work with shady characters. The SH’s literally worked with slavers before.
He wanted to gain luffys favour in the future as a bargaining chip at that time. Nothing more nothing less.
No he didn’t. He had no idea what he was going to ask of Luffy in the future. This was never said or implied. He did it on a whim. Pretty sure he said that himself.
Yes that's whitebeard and this is law. He literally couldn't care less if he died after offing doflamingo.
Luffy couldn’t care less if he died on the way to his dreams. He’s said that before, all the way at the beginning of the series.
Yeah garp is gonna be represented by someone in the marines e.g. akainu/coby. WB I hope will be kidd. Theres also gonna be Blackbeard as luffys main antagonist. Law doesn't fit in.
Law doesn’t fit in? Law fits Whitebeard way more than Kid would. Demeanor matches Whitebeard (more tactical, scoffs at reckless idiots but can’t help but admire them, rivalry and friendship with the era’s King, main rival was also the guy who defeated their former captain, etc.)
You’re also forgetting the other component to that, which was Shiki. Kid is far more like Shiki than anyone else based on what we know, especially more than Law. Blackbeard would translate to what Rox was come time to beat him, and then Luffy clears the way for the rest of them to rise up.
So if you never implied that then tell me how exactly will Zoro achieve his dreams - if there are Swordsmans stronger than him come eos ?
The same way Whitebeard became the World’s Strongest Man despite being weaker than Roger and probably being tied with Garp. The same way Mihawk became the World’s Strongest Swordsman despite being inferior to Big Mom, who uses a blade from time to time, and Shanks.
So when a character is deemed rival to another character even if they never fight each other (like Law and Luffy for instance) they are still on the same level?
Gonna take this as an honest question, as opposed to the alternative.
Depends really on the portrayal. Most of the time, yes. Law and Kid are weaker than Luffy, it are portrayed to be in the ballpark (we’ve seen this in the past five chapters). They’ve never fought. Kaido and Big Mom are rivals to each other, haven’t fought in a long time apparently. Still on the same level.
Some cases where that’s a no, Luffy and Teach have been portrayed as rivals since their very first meeting, Teach would still kill him. They’ve never fought. Mihawk was once rivals with Shanks, don’t know if they’re still considered it in verse, Shanks is far beyond Mihawk now as a Yonko.
Smoker is a bit of an inbetweener. Portrayed as Luffy’s marine rival, not exactly in the ballpark strength wise, but will probably be there one day soon.
Depends on the person. Law and Kid have been portrayed to be exclusively Luffy’s rivals. Those three and Teach have been singled out to be the leaders of the Worst Generation. They’re around each other’s level, Teach aside.
says the one rocking a luffy avi. You’re blatantly ignoring zoros portrayal pushing ur nonsense fan made rivalry.
Lmao because rocking a Luffy ava makes me devoid of sense. You’re right, I am ignoring “portrayal” that you say has shown Zoro as a candidate for Pirate King, it’s just funny that you’re accusing
me or pushing “nonsense fan made” things.
People used him to shit on Mihawk LOL
I kinda feel bad for Mihawk to be honest
