What if Laugh Tale is on the moon? That's why Roger was laughing, he had no frickin way to get there. And Enel became the Pirate King without anyone knowing, not even himself.

There might be something beyond Laugh Tale that's on the moon, but no, Roger made it to the island.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



Enel tried to come back but Gin beat his rear end and killed him in cold blood

Blackbeard got the Bluto fruit.

Bullies the poo poo out of Popeye but falls down his own rear end when Popeye eats some Sanji au-gratin and aims every grievance from the story right back at him.

Just makes sense This is the time in the story to really hammer home the old generation being replaced by the new, and Luffy losing people (kind of) close to him. Further sets up conflict between Luffy and BB, and lays the groundwork for the first major war between Yonko.

not really, but his introduction can maybe(?) be read that way. he goes from insane goofball to grandiose dreamer to calculating villain in the span of like 2 chapters or whatever. this doesn't convince me though because luffy does the exact same thing and there's only one of him.

well maybe there's 2 of him. idk

This is probably the main reason I don’t want Garp to die or get stuck on the bench just yet - there surely has to be a reckoning point where he can no longer just sit with his arms crossed and his eyes closed like in Marineford… Though I guess you could argue that that’s what Coby and Smoker (remember Smoker?) are in the story for.

coby had the courage to stand up for what he believed in at marineford, even when it almost certainly meant his own death. he's miles above garp.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that there is no way Garp gets taken out. He's not gonna beat BB or anything, but Garp isn't going to just get summarily chumped. I trust Oda to write a more interesting story than that.

Garp is not going to get chumped, but that's because Blackbeard doesn't chump anyone. He gets hosed up and flails around before ultimately sinking the dagger into the perfect place and getting his victory.

I don't know if Garp is going to die or not, and regardless he's going to kick a lot of rear end and it will be glorious, but narratively Blackbeard is necessarily going to come out of this with yet another advantage. Being the man who takes down the Hero of the Navy (even if he has to use underhanded means somehow) is definitely the kind of advantage he could accrue at this point.

One interesting point to consider- the person on Blackbeard's crew who probably knows Garp best is Kuzan. This may be an opportunity for the two "good" military men to explain (with their fists) why one continues to serve the corrupt Navy, and why the other's sense of justice brought them all the way down to serve the most vile pirates.

(Blackbeard is hardly the most vile pirate we've seen, but he's no Shanks or Whitebeard, where you could see a compassionate Navy guy just throw in with them 'cause they're basically good.)

Garp's gonna waste the mooks on the island and then get whupped by BB or one of his crew. Coby's gonna see that and awaken a top tier Conqueror's Haki and allow them to limp away to freedom

blackbeard's one great crime was betraying whitebeard. everything else he's done is pretty normal pirate poo poo. he's definitely a bad person that is directly opposed to luffy, but he's not fundamentally different from say, don krieg. teach is just more capable and successful, is all.

Don Krieg was also a giant rear end in a top hat no one liked. Except for Gin.

Oh my God if we somehow get an extended cover story arc or something of Law stuck with Garp temporarily as they escape the Blackbeard pirates, realizing that Luffy's apple didn't fall all that far from the tree.

Coby literally strapped to Law's head to help carry him around.

Leaps before he looks, never comes off looking great in the first clash and usually needs his crew to save his rear end just like his light mirror. Looking forward to Blackbeard so much :allears:

There is no earthly way that Kuzan is not doing some deep-cover nonsense and infiltrating BB's crew for the Navy in some way.

The real story of Punk Hazard was Sakazuki was so concerned for his nakama's safety he did not want him to go on such a reckless mission and he was willing to fight in order to drag him back to HQ. However, Kuzan's desire to do anything for the sake of the World Government and the Marines won out in battle. So heartbreaking.

A friend told me their theory about how Blackbeard's fruit has a secret name too, that it's the Ink Ink fruit and it lets Blackbeard rewrite the rules of the world he's in. I'm pretty sure my friend got the idea from a power in Bleach.

Wonder if we'll ever get any more info about that fight beyond apocrypha... Given the location, it kinda feels like there's a decent chance Kuzan was like "making clone kid weapons is a bad idea" and Sakazuki was like "no it's not"
