And we don't know how any of this is going to fold out. I mean, who expected that Blackbeard would show up at Impel Down? Luffy is the man who narrowly escaped death by a nanosecond all thanks to a lightning strike (back in Loguetown) Yes, if it was set in stone that Luffy would have to fight a bunch of the Shichibukai or Admirals or these other big guys I'd be the first to agree that he doesn't stand a chance. But it's not set in stone. Aside from Magellan and/or Shiryuu we don't know who he's going to fight. But that's the thing about Luffy, he doesn't think about the consequences or how insurmountable the odds. He's there and he's going to rescue Ace come hell or high water.

^Oh, I didn't know you could see into the future Master Mold.
All right forget it. Obviously we're not getting anywhere, but I'll tell you what. A few weeks or months from now we're going to get one hell of an epic Ace rescue, and it when it happens it's going to be freakin' awesome and immensely satisfying. And I am going to laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaugh. Last edited by Nobodyman9; 2009-05-24 at 02:49. |

Well, every single statement you make sure makes it seem like it better happen your way, or else it is simply bad...
Quote:
Why is it bad writing...I mean besides that it is different from what you want ? Not only does Luffy have an equal connection to Ace as Whitebeard, but the fact that he is not the superior warrior on the battle field would make Luffy's accomplishment all the sweeter and potentially more interesting (yes it sounds cool for Whitebeard to simply own all until he frees Ace, but that is a fairly dry, some might say ultimately boring, route because it offers no real thrills or surprises - it’s more fun to see a weaker opponent struggle to defeat a superior foe, than it is too see a superior opponent defeat a weaker foe). You are misappropriating Whitebeard's fall (which, if we can trust Garp's words, would happen now whether Ace were to die or not) with Ace's freedom. That being said, the scenario I am currently expecting is Luffy freeing Ace, but Whitebeard creating the chance for them to escape. Consequently, Whitebeard does ensure Ace's freedom and safety, and Whitebeard ends up sacrificing himself to make sure that Luffy and Ace escape, but it is Luffy who frees Ace from the jail cell. That way, Whitebeard can go out protecting his nakama, and the end of an era can occur in a magnificent display of heroism. |

Even if WB dies and save ace or dies with out saving ace the impact would be the same . The last of the old pirate age has die , it is time for new age to take over . The question is just how much damage are both side going to have after this. Hell if WB did not save Ace but lets say kill a few high level member of the WG lets say Kizaru he would make a bigger impact in his final moments. |

I know but thats for Oda to write its his story .I don't really care if WB dies or not to tell the truth . If he dies it open the story for alot of new stuff that what alot of people seem to think on forums . But if Oda wanted to kill him he did not have use a war he could have use old age if he wanted to, while that sound lame and lacks impact but still. I rather WB lives while being weaken and another high level pirates kill him. It would be great way to show just how strong the tops dogs in new world are .

And please don't say it is "logical" that it will happen; it will only happen IF the author wants it too no matter how logical it may be to the majority of the readers. Cheers =D

LOL, we are a large community of old fogey haters . Seriously though, despite my basic desire to see Whitebeard fall, I would honestly not care if he did actually live. Whatever the specifics, I simply want this to be a victory for the WG. They, as "villains", are due a victory every now and again, and there failures of late make them look quite silly. So, they need to establish some form of dominance so as to move the story into a "new age".

Or vice versa, Luffy could help Whitebeard save Ace, earning him the gratitude of one of the most powerful pirates on the ocean. That certainly wouldn't hurt his journey to become the Pirate King. Quote:
He ravaged Impel Down. I'd say he did. And Whitebeard saving Ace while Luffy can only watch, thus making all his efforts in Impel Down in vain, would fiercely disappoint me. Last edited by Keroko; 2009-05-24 at 07:47. |

Infact, Lets discuss Luffy making his way out of Impel Down Fun house, before we discuss him being able to pull a Solid Snake on us and save Ace. Last edited by Master Mold; 2009-05-24 at 11:54. |

There are many ways Luffy could escape impel down without messing up this arc. For one, Black beard might help him out. He isn't there to fight him and he's turned his back on the government. Luffy doesn't have time to fight him so he can't be picky in choosing his allies. Another thing, no one said he'd be facing megallan by himself. There's a good chance Crocadile,Jinbei, and the other's will be there to help out. That's just one way i see things playing. There are about a million others and im sure whatever one is chosen will be right for the plot
How can we, as reader's say that luffy's hogging the spotlight and upstaging it from others without considering various fact's the author mightv'e thought up? For example, some charectors mightve been 'upstaged' a little early because they weren't meant to impact the plot that much. Luffy IS the main charector so the whole spotlight thing is, null. I respect your opinion but its starting to look like your presenting them as facts when there just what they are. Opinions. Though i really do know what you mean about charector's being upstaged earlier than they ought to be. Tends to happen alot in anime or manga, just gotta learn to except it and enjoy the ride. |

Just because Luffy is the main character don't mean. For Luffy to always get the spot light and up stage characters who really don't get there long over due shine. Luffy being the main characters don't mean for him to be in everything, or do everything, there are other characters in this story not just Luffy. Quote:
