You think all the warlords survived getting captured? I'd like to think most got away except for the dumb fat Whitebeard one cause his design is pretty derpy.

Also has Smoker ever won a single fight in this series? Every time in the New World at least he's gotten his rear end handed to him royally.

Mihawk definitely got away. Buggy, Hancock, and Weevil could all go either way depending on Oda's future plans for them. I feel like at least one would have to get captured so the Marines don't look too incompetent, though.

For example, Weevil's role could be delaying Marco from getting to Wano and jobbing to one of Vegapunk's new robots, and we'll find out that he was captured when Marco arrives in the nick of time to hold off Big Mom while everyone else fights Kaido. Alternatively, though, Oda could be planning a major subplot involving Weevil, in which he either gets an extended fight against Marco, joins some kind of anti-Luffy alliance, or breaks free from his mother's influence to help the Straw Hats against the Blackbeard Pirates and their allies. I'm leaning towards him getting captured, though, since basically any subplot involving him would feel like an unnecessary diversion at this point.

Buggy, as the weakest Warlord, feels like he ought to be captured, logically, but I could see him getting away basically for comedic effect. Future subplots for him would probably involve Shanks in some way; anything involving Captain John's treasure would probably be an unnecessary diversion.

Hancock...hmm. Maybe she gets captured, but Coby, knowing her love for Luffy, sends her to Wano to help out against Kaidou and Big Mom? Or maybe she gets captured and stays captured, and this leads to Luffy declaring Amazon Lilly under his protection?

Luffy's gonna see his mustache and immediately ask if he's Whitebeard's son and that'll be enough to get him on the Strawhats' side.

This game turned me from ambivalent about Katakuri to his biggest fan. If Musou games are power fantasies then the giant characters in this game are like being drunk on it.

The Alternate Wano Arc is great too because it's basically an excuse to get as many playable characters in one place so you can be whoever you want in the last level.

I thought he had a lung issue or something, I think it’s been a thing for a long while because Oda’s been going out of his way to not give Franky a lot of dialogue in the movies for that reason.

i hope every strawhat gets a cool one-on-one fight. i hope they get three more thru the series. i think that is the correct amount of 1-2 chapter one-on-one fights. oda will not do this and ill be kinda sad, but i really like one-on-one fights a lot.

The fight against Blackbeard's crew is gonna all be 1v1 or 2v2 fights. It can't be anything else with how his crew was built up. It's cliche as gently caress but it's a good cliche.

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.

Also I guess unless Blackbeard gets some new crew members or brings some allies in, that makes Jimbei the last Straw Hat since it's 10 on 10.

My guess for fight pairings, roughly in order of obviousness:

  • Luffy vs. Blackbeard
  • Usopp vs. Van Auger
  • Zoro vs. Shiliew
  • Sanji vs. Burgess
  • Brook vs. Lafitte
  • Robin vs. Devon
  • Franky vs. Vasco Shot
  • Chopper vs. Doc Q and Stronger
  • Jimbei vs. San Juan Wolf
  • Vivi and Carue vs. Avaro Pizarro
  • Nami vs. new member

The first four are obvious, but after that the parallels go multiple ways. Lafitte's character design is reminiscent of Brook, but IIRC he's the navigator. Cola-powered Franky would make sense against alcohol-powered Shot, but Pizarro has those weird metal glove-thingies that could be a cybernetic enhancement. Vivi and Carue might not rejoin at all, or they might fight the former ruler Pizarro, or they might have a human/animal doubles fight against Doc Q and Stronger. Chopper might fight a fellow doctor and fellow animal, but Wolf is the obvious matchup to showcase Monster Chopper.

Actually, Blackbeard has "Ten Titanic Captains" who serve under him. So he has one more major underling we haven't met yet, and the Straw Hats will probably get one more member.

I like Vivi well enough but I’m not sure about her permanently joining the crew (what would her role be for one thing). Also, unless she gained some new skills during the timeskip she’d currently be below pretty much everyone else in terms of power. You’d probably have to give her a Devil Fruit or something.

Though then again, since she’s currently being targeted (or will be targeted eventually) by the WG I imagine she’s going to reenter the story in a major way at some point. Maybe she’ll wind up joining the Armada or something.

I do kind of want to see Vivi interact with Robin and the other crew members that joined after Chopper though if only to see how she’d react to them.

Once you're in the crew you can only leave with the captain's permission. Luffy has not taken Vivi or Carue off the crew list. Thus they are perminant members.

A strawhat doesn't need a dedicated "role" nor do they need to be a strong fighter. All a strawhat needs is to be a nakama

Fair enough. Personally I’m fine with Vivi, Carue, and/or Carrot joining up permanently but whether it’ll happen or not remains to be seen. Like I said, it’s pretty clear that Vivi at least will be playing a major role in the plot again at some point considering that Imu has currently marked her as a target and all.

How many times now has Luffy just gone "JOIN MY CREW" and we just handwave a position later. I am pretty sure, at the very least ,he had no position planned for Robin or Jinbei. The former is just uhhhhh archeologist sure whatever and the latter he declared himself the helmsman like 3 years ago
