They don't have a great track record of shichibukai listening to them, anyway. Wasn't it supposed to be amazing that so many of them even showed up to that initial meeting? Probably better to have a guaranteed agent in there. Everybody already knows what happened to him anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a statement to have him in a Marines getup. Though that would be funny to see.

People keep responding to Mr. Fowl's question as though he were asking what Moria's animal motif was, when in fact he was clearly asking where Moria laid on the power chart he quoted.

For my money, he's probably kind of up there. His power is stupid broken. It's like Foxy's in that if it were on anyone but a comically incompetent buffoon it would be one of the hottest powers around. If he manages to cut your shadow off its like a guaranteed win.

Nah, I just quoted the wrong post. I really was talking about the animal thing.

That's probably what the 'true power of the people of Zou' refers to. It'll involve the elephant itself somehow.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the Whale Forest, something they couldn't use before because Raizou was hiding there.

If the Straw Hats fend off Jack, the Minkmen will probably be impressed enough to pledge allegiance to them.

I would be honestly kind of surprised if jack lasted more than like two chapters once the fight begins. kinda expect the minks to beat him; maybe the ninja helps

IIRC, the minks fought him constantly for several days before the gas was employed. They can't beat him alone; Law and the Straw Hats will be needed, or something will happen with the Whale Forest as suggested.

Don't know how this Jack fight is gonna play out but the search for Raizou turned out to be THE One Piece map room so lets see where this goes.

This Jack fight just feels weird for now because it seems like a filler to the story, unless there's something Oda is planning with the battle that impacts the story months down the line.

Hahaha yeah but given the length of Dressrosa and all, I really just want them to go ahead to Wano now, otherwise it's gonna take decades to finish this arc.

Well even after Jack they have to drop by Big Mom's place and grab Sanji real quick.

Maybe this Big Mom + Wano arc will set the new record for longest arc so far. It's shaping up to follow the pattern of Punk Hazard + Dressrosa.

If anything Wano is going to become the next Fishman Island (though hopefully less of an anticlimax). Reminder: Fishman Island was the one after Water Seven. How many years was that real-time?

We may have a declared goal of Wano already, but don't assume that means we'll be seeing it before the next US presidential election.

And that's fine with me. It'd be a boring journey if there were no surprises and detours along the way.

jack transforms and the ship, damaged in the fight against the marines, breaks and he falls into the ocean. time to go get sanji!

Just when Jack is about to strike, Jinbe will burst through his ship, causing him and his goons to sink to the bottom of the ocean.

I dunno, despite his bounty, I cannot take Jack seriously. He fought to a standstill with the Minks and only won thanks to the gas. And now he has to deal with the strawhats on top of things.

it's hard to take jack as a serious threat when he was literally introduced here on zou. you don't really know how strong he is because his only competition thus far has been the minks, who are also an unknown at this point. the story tells you he's strong but we haven't been able to see it firsthand yet. this is the time for him to prove his bounty was earned

I think being one of the top executives under Kaidou has a lot to do with it.

If Jack has a million belli bounty, I wonder how astronomical Gol D Roger's and Silver Rayleigh's bounties were.

Jack is an unknown who just announced he's going to do something batshit crazy and suicidal. In a story like One Piece, that means he's a scary motherfucker who is going to either succeed or come drat close.

Instead of a number where how many berries you get is normally listed, their bounties just say [berry sign] Yes!
