That line might be the worst translation in One Piece history, and I am including all of the mangled scanlations in that too.

Though it's in response to Kuma asking how much of a nuisance he was. Deffo could've gone with something else from Kuma.


Didn't notice it before, but Bonney did take it all, not just 'see' it with whatever tech VP was using to keep it around.

Yeah, since her adventure started at ten before the skip. I wonder if Luffy’s gonna use his observation haki to do a Namek Goku and magically just be up to speed

I mean, he doesn’t, and normally it’s really cool that his understanding of the situation amounts to “this person I made friends with/want on my crew is being oppressed”, but imho in this one specific instance it would be cool if he knew how cool Kuma was first.

Thinking about it, boredom setting in as I wait for the next chapter :(. I kinda think Zoro might be the one to take down Blackbeard and I think Luffy breaks Imu. Blackbeard is the darkness against Nika's light and I think Blackbeard just wins that. Blackbeard takes extra damage from physical attacks and can cancel Devil Fruits. Luffy fights him, gets his rear end kicked, Zoro/Sanji with no devil powers take down Blackbeard and at the end Luffy beats Imu.

I so want new chapters and I am now reduced to fun speculation I think.

Blackbeard being a fake D who is focused on collecting Devil Fruits to augment himself and his crew compared to Luffy being a proper D whose power comes almost from his own creativity with his fruit along with own inherent/trained strength feels like a far more obvious lead to the two fighting to settle who will be pirate king in my opinion. Also BB being pretty directly responsible for Ace's death along with him being setup as some form of inheritor of Xebecs own will given the name of his ship and setting up shop on where Xebec originally formed his crew.

Unless he got an upgrade post-skip he can only nullify fruits by touching someone, which Luffy is kind of immune to as far as we know since he can armament himself with Conquerer’s Haki to make a force field now.

I want Blackbeard to snipe the kill on Imu like he did with Whitebeard. then instead of running away decides to stick it out and go into the true endgame

This has been my long-standing prediction - Blackbeard awakening the Yami fruit will let him turn off the fruit powers of people at a distance. Kaido's line about not being able to win on fruit powers alone is foreshadowing.

Bingo, they are too similar for me to assume they are going to kill each other. They both have correct opinions in their own way. Luffy's truest foe is Imu how holds freedom in chains. If Luffy fights Blackbeard it should be with words, otherwise his subordinates should crush his whole crew.

And based on where we have seen other captains, the most likely pair on this ship is Catarina Devon and Laffitte, who seem to be the “stealth” specialists

At the very least I think Catarina’s face changing ability is going to come into play

Blackbeard is a real D, he's just evil.

The story is more interesting if not all D's are inherently good. Blackbeard is also interested in freedom, his own freedom to do whatever he wants. More analogous to real-life pirates than Luffy and co. He is also opposed to the World Government! He's just an rear end in a top hat about it.

Luffy and Teech have a lot in common but they are also direct opposites to one another. Blackbeard's idea of freedom comes across as a much more Randian "the strong should be allowed to do what they want and take what they want" than Luffy's. Blackbeard is a conquerer, Luffy is a liberator. Blackbeard goes to an island and takes everything they have, Luffy goes to an Island and gives food to starving children. Blackbeard is willing to sacrifice his crew for power, Luffy wants power for the sake of his crew.

Basically, Blackbeard is Evil Luffy.

The final battle will be a 1v1v1 between Luffy, Blackbeard, and Imu. Halfway through they take the fight to the moon and Enel runs out screaming at them to get off his drat Vearth and it becomes a 4-man free-for-all
