^Mihawk could have split the giant gold fish by himself....
Giants are too obvious to be truly powerful (they are obviously compensating for something...). Smaller packages with extreme power are far more interesting than giants with great power. |

Maybe one of these day we will get a giant with a DF. |

Oh, I've no doubt that Mihawk could slash that sea monster in half with relative ease, but I still think it would be neat if there were at least one giant whose strength and skill is actually proportionate to his size (again, Oz doesn't count since he was a zombie). Also, remember that the sea king in question was a creature that literally ate (and crapped out) islands. So if two Elbaf warriors were powerful enough to slash that thing apart, just think of what a single high-tier giant would be capable of. I have no problem with normal-sized characters having great power, but I still think the bigger guys should at least get the opportunity to prove that they're large and in charge for once too, y'know? And yes, I fully welcome a giant with a DF power appearing in the series at some point, particularly one with some whacked-out Paramecia ability. Again, Elbaf seems to be the best time to introduce such a character..... |

^Take your extreme chubby-chasing elsewhere; we only want to talk about normal sized individuals in this forum .
Joking aside, Giants...just don't interest me that much. Maybe it is the fact that they are so large, and consequently look strong to begin with, that makes them unappealing to me. Whatever the case, I would welcome a giant of equal strength to the top dogs (we already have a fishman, so why not a giant?), but if one never appeared I wouldn't exactly protest Oda or anything... |

Haha, but seriously. That might be a good reason, except WB has already reached the point where he's going to die. There's been so much build up about how bad it is for WB to die and we've been constantly shown that WB seems to be having a bit of difficulty not dying. Even though it's possible, I'd be a little annoyed if WB didn't die after all this. With WB being set up to die, it's pointless for Shanks to come to the rescue since he's already too late to preserve the balance. Here's something I just thought of. If Shanks were to come, he'd undoubtedly run into Luffy. The fact that it's too early for them to meet is a good reason for Shanks not to show up, even if it's an out of story reason. I just don't see Old Pirate stepping off that island. Helping a bunch of rookies close to home is one thing, but going to a battleground where a bunch of powerful veterans are fighting is another thing entirely. Old Pirate isn't a pirate anymore, which means he's not going to be interfering with whatever direction the Pirate's Era takes. That's how I see it, anyway. I think one of the reasons we haven't seen a really strong giant is because they're naturally strong. Unlike regular humans, they don't have to do a lot of, if any, training to be powerhouses, so they don't have a need to seek high levels of power. Or more like, they're not used to training to attain power, so they don't end up that much stronger than they naturally are. I don't think it's a good enough reason for not seeing, or at least hearing about, at least one or two extremely strong giants, but it makes sense. |

Hey guys, can someone please explain me some things?
1)How can someone save Ace, as he is wearing those handcuffs (made of Seastone)? 2)If Ace is saved, will the Whitebeard Pirates just leave from Marinford so simply? 3)And if not, will they destroy the Marines so they never show up again (impossible) ? I'm a little confused, but If anyone wants so give his opinion, please share it with us.

however what they were planning is irrelevant as we know that Boa gave Luffy a key for Ace's handcuffs... so that will more then likely be how they get them off Quote:
I think Whitebeard's intention would be to destory the marine HQ... this is not just about saving Ace, but about revenge and showing everyone what happens when you mess with Whitebeard However, what i personally think will happen is that after saving Ace, whitebeard will die and the pirates will be forced to retreat |

If Blackbeard is the "end boss" so to speak, i do feel he has to be the one to deliver the killing blow to Whitebeard...Will also give Luffy more reason to want to defeat him. I also think Blackbeard will destroy Marineford by the end of this arc, while the survivors are escaping he will destroy everything with his darkness abilitys

Well I think it would be great if indeed blackbeard appeared. Maybe he won't appear at all, because he is a traitor to the Marines.
Also, I don't think it's time for Luffy and Dragon to meet, so the revolutionary army my not come. Lastly, the supernovas have no business in Marinford and it's quite impossible for them to enter it because the three Gates of Justice open only to the Marines (except if they use coated ships). Anyway thanks for your answers everybody, I owe you a lot. This is the reason I like this forum website a lot!!!

But even if he was to come now it won't have the impact as before , even he was to kill WB it won't take much . To me it would be a bigger impact if was to take out a admiral or sengoku or grap. Maybe he could get rid of the 5 stars elders that would really change things in the OP world and be a big shock. |

In other words, there is no point of labeling something as "bad writing" before the events actually unfold. |
