Regarding your second paragraph that I quoted, what do you mean exactly that you think Kaidou is above Shanks? You've estimated Kaidou's bounty to be around 650-700 milion, whereas Shanks you've estimated to be within the 800-850 million range. Do you mean that you think Kaidou may be stronger than Shanks?

As to your first part, I agree partialy with your interpretation, that Shanks was careless, etc., but I do think it was Blackbeard who retreated. As to lasting damage, we saw Blackbeard take a Fire Arrow to the chest (presumably the heart), and receive minimal damage, so I doubt he would carry an scars from previous battles like Shanks does. So, at the time, I think it was Blackbeard who retreated, but if they fought today, I am not sure who would win, I think I would lean toward Blackbeard if Shanks attacks are limited to his sword and his killing intent/spiritual pressure (which I doubt they are). As to Whitebeard, yes his time at the top is quickly coming to an end, just in time for Luffy to assume a the lapsing title of Yonkou . |

Also, do you really think that Luffy is going to become an emperor? I don't think that he would become one because quite frankly he doesn't have the sufficient amount of resources needed to achieve this title. He only has 8 crew members whereas the other emperors have massive crews. He would seem really out of place if he were to become an emperor.

Luffy right now has a strong interest in the title of Pirate King as well as the desire to see One Piece for himself. Added to this, on his crew is an archaeologist that can decipher the ancient text, which makes him a greater risk in the eyes of the World Government than almost anyone else (since we are not ure if the other Yonkou can read the text). And finally, he has assembled a crew that can individually take down a Commondore to Vice-Admiral level marine, and soon enough can also take down individual Shichibukai (I do think that after the next major arc, Zoro and Sanji will have the strength to defeat a Shichibukai by themselves). So on all counts, Luffy is a man to be feared, and if the speculated Jinbei fight is just around the corner, Luffy will have yet another Shichibukai notch on his belt in regards to his level of strength against the World Government. It is extremely possible that Luffy could be assigned the title of Yonkou if Whitebeard is defeated, or if Luffy defeats one of the Yonkou. I do have an idea for Kadiou or the 4th Emperor, specifically that one of these people will be a stategist rather than an outright fighter. |

Heh.... nearly forgot I made this thread.
Anyway, now that I've read through the rest of Thriller Bark, I'm really interested in seeing the crew meet up with Lola's mother. It seems to me like she'd be quite an interesting person (and of course, I'm still awaiting for any more information on Kaidou, and whether or not he's really one of the Yonkou). I'm also wondering if Impel Down is in the New World as well, since it's confirmed that the paper Ace gave Luffy only works in the New World. And after all, it's not like the location of the prison was specified during the Enies Lobby arc... |

As for the paper Ace gave Luffy only working in the New World, I think this was a mistranslation. The paper Ace gave Luffy, which is known as a Biblicard, can only be found in the New World. This makes sense considering that both Lola and Ace, two characters that resided in the New World, came back from the New World with Biblicards. If Biblicards were available on the grand line, the strawhats would've found some by now. The only thing we know so far about the Biblicard is that when utilized it will guide the user to the original owner.

I think this is wat will happened
They are going to find a way through to the new world in merman island there will be a shichibukai waiting there for them guarding it they will beat him cross to the other side and they will find themselves in the face of the emperor that is arlong's ex-crewmate. they will beat him at the same time blackbeard will cross to the new world and fight white beard defeating him and his crew. This will anger red shanks and he will go after blackbeard blackbeard will kill him too.meanwhile luffy will kill the fourth emperor and reach the final island on the opposite side blackbeard will also reach raftel. They will both go into the building that holds one piece and in the face of it will be the final battle of the story between luffy and blackbeard. I know there is holes in the story like explanations of the history of one piece and certain mysteries but i think that these will be the major battles of one piece. |

I think that once the Straw-hats get into the new world they might encounter ether an officer(s) from the Navy, and or one of the two unnamed members for the Yonkou.
I think one of the few islands will be Elbaf where I expect one of the two unnamed members for the Yonkou to be there. If it is Kaidou, I would think he ate the Light Light Fruit to combat Gecko Moria’s Shadow Shadow Fruit. Another island I believe they will land on will be the Wano Country, and I also believe that they might Oda will do A LOT with Zoro. I think Ryuma will be a legend there, and Oda might link him and Zoro together; for example Ryuma might be Zoro’s grandfather or something. I think Oda might introduce a Saga that deals with space pirates. I think he would start off by having the Straw-hats land on the Machine Island where Spaceys lived and have them travel to space. As a result, they probably will meet up with the Space Pirates (from Eneru’s title page arc) and/or Eneru himself! I don’t know what Oda is planning for the rest of the series, but I am certain that he will be doing a lot with the people with, and the concept of, the Initial D, the Navy, Shichibukai, the Yonkou, and the revolutionaries. As far as Raftel goes, I believe that Raftel is the island from the Void Century that the World Government tried to erase. And, the people with the initial D are probably the decedents of the great civilization during that time. |

I see you still have a hard time getting convinced that Blackbeard is a likely candidate for being the final villain. Jeez james3wk, what is it you want from Blackbeard to prove himself to you? I'm just kidding. I am curious to know who you think is going to be the final villain.

I am go to make a guest on what is going to happen next, remember the card Ace gave to Luffy I think in the next chapter or two we are going to find out that Ace maybe on the island since their are noble on the island and from the spoiler they have a weird habit of making pirates their pets. Since it is believe that he is was beaten by a another pirate. Also If you remember back in the beginning of the manga Luffy was saying he wanted ten member for his crews, right know he has only nine member included himself i think before he go to the second part of the he is going to meet either his brother or next crew member before he go to the new world.

Blackbeard is different though. He is either going to be a villian, but someone defeated by the "final boss", or he is going to turn into a Naraku-esque character (specifically he will level up with the main character, so that they can have their final bout against each other many chapters from now.) The only problem with taking a Naraku-esque route is the fact that the main villian can get boring fairly quickly (as Naraku did). Again, I am fine with whatever Oda does with him. Blackbeard is in my top 5 non-Strawhat characters, so any screen time he gets is greatly appreciated. Last edited by james0246; 2008-04-16 at 22:57. |

On a side note, I am really glad that Blackbeard is in your top 5 non-strawhat characters. I am sure you will agree with me that Blackbeard does not get enough recognition and respect from the fans. I am pretty sure that I can guess one of your other top 5 non-strawhat characters. Would I be correct to presume that Doflamingo is in your top 5 ?

But, the final villian may not be a villian at all. The villian might be the second-last battle, followed by a battle against Cody and Helmeppo. This is entirely possible because the both of them are enduring the same training that Luffy went through, and they are being trained by the same person.
Or, Aokiji may be the last person they fight. Either way, it's not definite that the last fight will be with Blackbeard, Shanks or any pirate for than matter. It may even be Smoker. I'm quite sure all of the Shichibukai will have been defeated by Raftel, though. The again, it certainly could be Blackbeard, since he's forming his crew much the same way as Luffy is. Not sure how Luffy'd fight his Darkness abilities, though! Jimbei might not be defeated. Two Shichibukai defeated in such a close range is relatively unlikely. It might go as the 'battle' with Kuma- Jimbei letting them through for some reason. For instance, Caimie might be his- Jimbei's- daughter... Or something relatively similar. xD |
