Anyhow, I don't see Aokiji as fleet admiral during a time of war. He's too much of a moderate. The WG may skip him. Akainu seems like the obvious choice in a time of war. He killed Ace and probably landed the killing blow on WB. He'd probably be the first choice. But... he's too good to sit behind a desk like Sengoku. He'll probably be in charge of the forces waging war in the New World. Smoker won't make full Admiral in two years. Too many skilled Vice Admirals above him. He's going off to the new world with Aokiji's blessing. Akainu is already seen making his moves in the NW. I see them both working together and clashing on "methods." Akainu will kill anyone in his way. Smoker will probably get pissed off about this. Kizaru seems to be the admiral most involved in black ops and AREA 51 type of stuff. He's off fighting his own little wars, harassing pirates without arresting them, and just plain out acting goofy and menacing while holding back his true power. Although he's kind of a Wild Card in terms of justice... his powers would make him an interesting fleet admiral. He'd be able to go out into the field and return to his office quickly. I wish he doesn't become FA, since I think he could be a mole for the revolutionaries or a potential ally down the line. His powers make him the perfect foil for the prince of darkness, Blackbeard. Jewelry Bonney can control aging. Her powers could be very useful to the WG to keep certain people alive. -she could carry Ace's child for a long time, would be able to control its development - could probably have the ability to bring back the dead. her powers may just not control age, but cells - could rejuvenate a former fleet admiral, bring him/her out of retirement. She's either knocked up by Ace, will be forced into rejuvenating someone, or will bring back someone from the dead. Last edited by mechalord; 2010-08-27 at 21:24. |

3) With the help of Hancock and the Impel Down escapees, of course. Luffy would have died if it were not for Ivankov treating his fatally poisonous injuries. I understand your point, but sometimes Luffy is given a little too much credit. No they don't. This is a common misconception. Light merely being the opposite of darkness doesn't mean it's the answer to defeating Blackbeard. It doesn't matter what the DF ability is, for they are all rendered useless once Blackbeard grabs a hold of his opponents. Nothing can escape the gravitational pull of the darkness, and therefore light is no exception (Blackbeard himself mentioned that not even light can escape). Blackbeard's only weakness is that he takes more damage than he normally would.

What makes you say that... Akainu For instance managed to trick one of Whitebeard's loyal sons into stabbing him in the chest. Aokiji for his part has been keeping tabs on Robin for the past 20 years, where as the rest of the marines were at a lost of managing to capture her; he probably could have captured her anytime in the last 20 years if he really wanted to. Frankly, the admirals have not really had the screentime to really show their strategic abilities, but we can be pretty damn certain that one of them will become Fleet Admiral from the previous chapter. |

I'm damn sure Kizaru can't be a FA (unless he gets off whatever crack he and Marco are taking 24/7)
Aokiji's alright, if a bit lazy Akainu is ok too even though there'd be DRASTIC changes if he were FA Sengoku was the best though Quote:

As far i know the idea to trick Squad was from Sengoku. I dont talk about normal intelligence but the intelligence to rule the whole marine and i doubt from 1 screen to another there will be "strategist akainu" and same with the other 2.
The best solution is to promote Tsuru to fa imo. Or some capable Va because u dont have to be the strongest to lead. Although in OP the leader are always the strongest so i dunno. But letting a killing machine rule the marine would be rly silly. |

Well, since it pretty much seems to be all the rage, I guess I'll make my own list of post-timeskip predictions:
-Luffy will take Whitebeard's place as the guardian of Merman Island (makes a lot of sense to me. Plus, it would be a great way for the Straw-Hats to make a huge splash on the world again after laying low for 2 years....). -Blackbeard will have taken Whitebeard's place as emperor (another obvious prediction, of course). I also strongly believe that he will kill off Shanks at some point..... -Due to the events of this chapter, Zoro and Mihawk will probably never have a proper matchup. In fact, I'm actually starting to agree with the theory that Mihawk will eventually be killed by Shiryuu (sorry, still not used to Shiliew yet ), who in turn will become the new object of Zoro's ambition (and revenge).... -Crocodile and Daz Bones will form a kind of "Neo" Baroque Works in the New World, with some of the members possibly being some of the escaped level 6 convicts.... -I'm actually kinda expecting Law to become an ally of sorts towards Luffy's crew. I mean, he already helped him out at Marineford, and the fact that he decided to chill out at Sabaody seems to indicate that he'll head for the NW at around the same time as Luffy's crew. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw him back up Luffy during the Merman Island storyline..... -Moria will have created a new zombie army (hopefully with Oars Jr. in tow, as well). However, I'm also kinda thinking that the shadow man will decide to improve his personal fighting skills as well, considering what happened to him at Thriller Bark and Marineford. I also agree with the theory that he, like Crocodile, will have become neutral towards Luffy when he reappears -I won't touch upon the FA situation for now, but I do believe that Smoker will have become an admiral or at LEAST a VA by this time (and for Tashigi, probably commodore). As for Coby, I don't see him jumping up in rank so quickly, despite how talented he may be. I suspect that he will be around captain-level after the skip, but not admiral (that would basically require a Naruto-esque power jump ). Meanwhile, poor Helmeppo will forever remain one step behind his partner. (BTW, it would be awesome to see Jango and Fullbody rise up in rank, too. ) -Vegapunk will create newer, stronger models of Pacifista, and will probably drop the Kuma clone design altogether (instead he may model them after other famous pirates, or use more original designs, which I would prefer). I also suspect that he (or someone connected to him) is making some shady dealings with Doflamingo. My best guess is that they're working together to revive one of the ancient weapons or something (I think that would make sense, as Dofla seems to be quite well-connected, and Vegapunk is an expert in creating weaponry).... -Speaking of Kuma, I figure that he has enough humanity left in him to be of some assistance to Luffy's crew, and probably relocated the Sunny to another location in order to keep it safe from the marines/bounty hunters. I also suspect that he colleague Dragon will share a small piece of the lost history with Robin..... I could list several more things (half of them involving Buggy, naturally ), but I figure that this post is long enough as it is. Plus, there's really no rush to do so anyhow, what with the 4-week wait and all...... |

But not now, considering how Akainu is the most likely candidate to be FA. Akainu would probably beat Smoker to keep him in line. I think its more likely that Smoker quits the Marines then follow Aka Inu =/

Wielding all three Haki powers
Now that this Haki thing has been cleared up I think out of all the Straw Hat Crews , Luffy and Zoro will be the only Straw Hat Crew members to be able use all three haki. Haōshoku Haki (Color of the Conquering King), Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments), and Kenbunshoku Haki(Mantra). The rest of the straw hat crews will be able to use haki but not all three. This is kind of cool. |

Keeping this going for four weeks will be hard even with all the possible outcomes this cliffhanger has left us with. Only one thing is certain: whatever unlucky bastard(s) decide to provoke the Straw Hats after they resume their journey are going to get a truly epic curb-stomping.

The weapon Poseidon namesake is the greece God of the Sea, ergo it might be connected to the sea - the nemesis of Devil Fruits. Pluton is named after Pluto (the roman God of the underworld) and could be connected to the underworld - The Devil (Fruits). Maybe Pluton (and Hades?) were used to create and/or disperse Devil Fruits into the world, and Poseidon (and Neptune?) are a counter to Devil Fruit powers somehow? |

He has always paralleled Zoro and I don't see this stopping now.

When it comes down to it, Smoker was the first marine to realize Luffy's true potential (ok so technically that was garp) and sought to crush it while it was still young Last edited by Slayerx; 2010-08-29 at 07:44. |
