Also doing a reread and I just know Wano Oda woulda given Tilestone and Freddie Mercury about 1 or 2 chapters worth of extra panel time. Paulie, maybe 5 or 6.

Edit: Last minute non-joining ally Sogeking would have gotten 20 additional chapters and a line of towel merch.

every member of cp9 would have gotten a seven chapter logn flashback each

gear 4 looks bad but the moment with luffy smashing the mirror to 1v1 katakuri was kino so it led to some good stuff

my theory is that if big mom is actually dead-dead i assume that katakuri will take control of the big mom pirates and come help luffy in the final battle against blackbeard or something.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

my game theory rn is that blackbeard is hanging out on xebec's old island, it sure seems like every member of xebec's crew is dead rn, and he had a really strong interest in getting moriah on side. presumably because he wants his fruit, not for moriah's dashing good looks. 'showing up in the final battle to heroically handle shadow zombie kaido' would be a reasonable enough deployment of the dangling yamato thread, and you could do something similar with katakuri and a shadow zombie big mom.

heck moriah already shadow zombie'd up a member of xebec's crew. remember john? everyones favorite one piece character, john.

the ending of the fight iirc is that they both collapse and then get back up and talk a bit, and then katakuri goes back down while luffy stays on his feet. so its very close but yeah luffy is the one on his feet at the end

What if Yamato didn't join because Oda wanted Film Red to be possibly canon, and since Yamato isn't in the film he needed to bench him until after the movie could happen.
i think the producer said it wasnt canon but who knows, oda sure went out of his way to go 'btw theres a shanks movie coming out' in the actual manga. shiki got to be mentioned in the manga but they never mentioned z or anything.

we see a ton of chefs and a basic police force but the actual military seems to be homies. going by what we see of big mom's homies theyd probably have a hard time doing anything that requires much thought like cooking or medical care but they can handle pretty much any basic task

jimbeis the only member of the straw hats besides luffy who was at impel down/marineford, and going by croc's massive bounty increase and buggy's rise to stardom, they took the impel down breakout extremely seriously. heck, he personally squared up to akainu at the end of marineford. makes sense his bounty would be higher than sanji's.

funny to think that mr. 1 is probably the third strongest guy in the crew of an emperor.

actually, its also funny to realize that the reason buggy's specifically afraid of crocodile is because mihawk and mr. 1 couldnt do jack to him

honestly buggy does seem especially hardy, he never seemed that out of sorts in the heat and cold of impel down, and he basically walked off a direct hit from the bomb mihawk hit back at him. you can put some of that down to comedic license but still, basically the only thing hes good at is not dying.

this doesn't make much sense, brook was 38 when he died on the triangle and is 90 now, but perospero is 50...?

he also didnt seem to recognize her. even if you figure she wasnt going under the name big mom back then, im pretty sure the name 'charlotte linlin' is spoken in brooks presence a few times. unless he smashed and passed without even knowing her name back then? which i guess isnt impossible but still feels a bit strange.

assuming its a case where oda liked the idea and didnt really think it through beyond that. if this had been an idea added before wano it would have been interesting to see it played with but i dont really see a way this can be looped into the actual story at this juncture so it just feels kinda random.

I'm just saying I'd rather not Brook being in his 30s hooking up with a 17 year old
Oh, yeah, that element is there too. Possible that she was 18 both when he hooked up with her and when she had Perospero, but still weird even in that scenario, especially since as mentioned the timeline would kinda demand him to just leave immediately and not say a word to her. But, well, Pudding and Shirahoshi are both 16 and Brook macks on them both (and Pudding is still basically Sanji's love interest, strong odds the series ending has a shot of them together in the 'where everyone wound up' deal). Thaaaaat's Oda.

Actually wait were any other Big Mom pirates at the raid or was it only Perospero?
i think perospero told everyone to stay on the boat while he checked things out, and then as soon as he got there the raid was already happening so no time to go back and round up the family

a lot of the big hitters like katakuri and cracker were still recovering from the whole cake arc, though, so not sure how much difference the awe inspiring might of daifuku would have made

actually daifuku was kind of giving sanji the business so maybe that would have helped

it makes sense hed be out of practice by the time luffy gets to him honestly. he was mostly a shadowy manipulator in baroque works, all his plan required him to do was occasionally rough up some random desert bandits.

plus if whitebeard was the guy who took his hand he just might not have been used to fighting with only one hand. his hook hand cant do any of the sand manipulation im pretty sure, so hed have to be conscious of that when using his powers, and if he didnt have any real challenges to practice that on, itd make sense hed be off his game.

Why, exactly, does everyone dream of being the super awesome King of the Pirates?
do that many people actually dream of it? crocodile, moria, kaido, big mom, and buggy all seem to use the term as shorthand for 'undisputed strongest/richest pirate,' which they'd want with or without the term and with or without roger having ever existed. only some of them even show interest in the one piece, and it's reasonable to assume that the one piece is either a massive sum of money or would be worth a massive sum of money. only luffy and maybe blackbeard seem to want to actually be pirate king in the sense of having a romantic image of it.

I figured they were both just so pathetically small time that they're still kicking around East Blue, thinking they're badasses. Everyone else had actual dreams, but they were just total loving chumps.

The heat is too hot in East Blue, I'm going to successfully fake my death and then scheme my way into being the richest man on a 3rd rate island in a 5th rate sea. Just the most complex plan, that starts with the hardest thing as step one, for the most pointless and nothing stakes.

Granted, Kreig had somewhat of an actual dream. However his plan was to trick his way into being a badass on the Grand Line via a strongish East Blue fleet. When that failed he was going to take over the Grand Line with a single fake floating restaurant. Dude's lucky as poo poo he ran into Mihawk somehow before hehttps://forums.somethingawful.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=27 ran into Baroque Works or someone else slightly more powerful than Pirate Captain Usopp.
arlong and buggy did have actual grand line experience that wasnt 'immediately getting 360 noscoped by mihawk' so that explains a lot of the contrast

buggy gathering up all the shichibukai he could would make sense - for starters, itd be a pretty obvious gag for buggy to want nothing to do with luffy while hancock tries to steer the whole operation in his direction. and theyd be pretty easy allies of convenience, since theyd want safety from the marines in numbers.

plus itd be a way to get weevil and his mom actually tied into the plot instead of just a weird concept off to the side of it.

if they wanted doffy to join theyd have to spring him, though. hes on impel down's death row, isnt he?
