As much as I'd also love to learn more about Kong, I kinda doubt that we'll hear much about him (if at all) in the Z flashback. Kinda like how we didn't really learn much about the marine personnel in chapter 0 (which, incidentally, was where we first learned about Kong in the first place!). Still, I definitely wouldn't mind if Oda did a full flashback centered around all of the top marines from Roger's era *drool*.....

We know next to nothing about Kong and how age has affected him. However, we've seen that the old guys are still very much at the top of the food chain. So if you're implying Dragon would defeat Kong due to age difference, that's not necessarily true.

I was going to say the same thing and I decided not to when I realized who..
But if Z is a admiral from the Roger Era than we now knows 2 of the 3 admiral of that time, provided that Oda made the character canon similar to Shiki was.

Yeah, I'd LOVE to know more about the admiral trio from Roger's era. So far, we only know that Sengoku was one of them at the time, but we don't know who the others were. If Z was one of them, then that's cool. Still, that would only leave just one more mystery person......

Considering that Garp was said to turned down the promotion multiple times which would mean there is at least an open spot for extended time.

----- After seeing Z and Kizaru duking it out in that promotional ad, one has to wonder what kind of asspull this movie will use to make Luffy beat Z.

Thought I'd make a separate post for this altogether. Here's some detailed info about this new film. These are big spoilers, so for those that want to wait until they actually watch the film, I suggest you don't read what's to come ahead. Credit goes to AP forums for the info.
Spoiler for General Plot Information:
Spoiler for More Details About Z:
Seeing as how there's no chapter this coming week, this discussion should tide us over nicely in the meantime.

It seems like Z was a mentor to the Admirals or a role model to them like Garp/Sengoku were during Rogers age. I'm quite shocked we get to see Aokiji at a hot spring out of all places. If his role is only to be in the hot springs.. come on now there's better things he can do in the movie . The pirate who cut Zs arm off is Doflamingo. The 3 Islands that would end the age.. don't believe that. Akainu has the Magma DF I don't see how magma can end everything.

There's only so much control/manipulation Akainu has over magma. So if those 3 islands were to be destroyed, there probably wouldn't be much he could do. After all, the dyna stone (which Z possesses in this film) is said to have power comparable to the ancient weapons. The ancient weapons have unprecedented power in the world of One Piece, which is why they're so dangerous and sought after. Spoiler for More spoiler info:

I won't be surprised if Garp was the mystery person. He may have turned down the title but he still fought with the top. |
