Well I was wrong before, so I got nothing to lose now. My bets on Pudding not actually firing her gun at the right time, given those last panels.

actually Pudding is good but she rewrote her memories to brainwash herself into being evil so Sanji wouldn't have second thoughts in rejoining his crew

Carrot would be my choice for final crew member after Jinbei. And if neither of them- mysteriously sorta-redeemed Caesar becoming the last nakama would own IMO.

My bet for final crew members are Brulee and Diesel, they're already meshing with the team so well - why stop a good thing?! But enough about that, it's time to spend a solid 40% of this thread speculating about that portrait! In order of likelyhood: 1. Dorian Gray / Phylactery / Horcrux type thing, its big mom at her real age or when she was young, something like that 2. A new character that we haven't met! 3. Weevil's Mom, why not

Does anyone think Big Mom will be dealt with in this arc? I've been loving the breakneck pace of this arc (especially after the slog that was Dressrosa), but I think a Yonko should require more time and effort devoted to their downfall. Hell, Luffy doesn't even have most of his crew with him.

DeadBonesBrook posted:Does anyone think Big Mom will be dealt with in this arc? It would be a massively deflating turn of events for me if he beats her outright. The combination of Brooke + Nami nullifying her clouds and then him beating her up may be feasible, but I am skeptical of anything past that. I sure hope they don't beat her straight up though, as you said it marginalizes the build up

They've got two crews with a specialized super weapon, it would be weird as hell if it didn't all go down here. A few chapters prior, maybe it would have been deflating. But we're well into show-stopping master plan territory now.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:They've got two crews with a specialized super weapon, it would be weird as hell if it didn't all go down here. A few chapters prior, maybe it would have been deflating. But we're well into show-stopping master plan territory now. Like there were a few folks arguing that the wedding wasn't going to happen back when all the plot threads seemed resolved. But course the wedding was going to happen, and there were naturally further developments to justify it. So on the subject of Big Mom actually being taken out, sure if things go as planned and she just kind of... goes down... that'd be super lame and anticlimactic. But alternately, all sorts of crazy stuff could happen, the plan will go off the rails, we will learn new stuff about Big Mom herself, and her weaknesses, and in some crazy out of the blue way Luffy exploits it and manages to eke out a win with the help of his crew. That's a completely conceivable, potentially satisfying scenario, and it's just as likely Oda has even less straightforward twists in store. I don't know why people don't assume something like that when they talk about Luffy potentially beating Big Mom this arc. Considering that it could still be more drawn out and crazy, I think it's actually pretty likely she'll get taken out here. It's not like they're ever coming back and a rematch in a different arc would be really anticlimactic.

Yeah, I was in the "Luffy + allies weaken and escape Big Mom by the end of this arc, another party defeats her afterwards" but I think she's definitely going to be defeated by this alliance, one way or another. The question now is whether she's going to die or not.

Sir Ilpalazzo posted:Yeah, I was in the "Luffy + allies weaken and escape Big Mom by the end of this arc, another party defeats her afterwards" but I think she's definitely going to be defeated by this alliance, one way or another. Given the nature of her Devil Fruit, it seems like being defeated would kill her. All those years of soul-life would go back to their original owners, and given how many children she has (and how old Brulee looks), she can't exactly be young. It's possible she'll just be aged to the point where she's no longer a threat, though; I think Oda mentions in an SBS that ordinary people in OPverse can live to be 130 (at least with good luck and proper medical care), and extraordinary people can live to be even older. Also, saying OPverse sounds silly. Why didn't Oda give the planet a name?

Normally a complex and tightly choreographed plan like this would be doomed because of all the random things that could mess things up. Luckily they've got back-up Plan M. Of course there's also the possibility that everything is going perfectly, and that's when back-up Plan M triggers and chaos reigns.

I was thinking on how touching a photo would hurt Big Mom and I came with a theory: What if the photo thing is that Big Mom is actually a photo who ate the Soul Soul fruit but she put most of her soul in just the body of a real powerful person but her real body is the photo and that is why when someone does something to it it hurts her?? That would be such a Oda thing that I can see it being true.

Hey, maybe the photo's of Kureha? She's one of the few women we know who's old enough to qualify, and we've got Chopper around to react to seeing her.

Eiba posted:A lot of folks seem to work like this. It was inconceivable a few chapters ago, but now that there have been developments it seems more plausible. What I don't get about that is that a few chapters ago all this potential still existed. The only reason that there were people who didn't think Big Mom was going to be taken out was because the footwork for the scenario hadn't been laid out in full at the time and it didn't logically make sense given what people know about everyone's relative strength. A lot of us who thought otherwise were mostly operating not on the logic of the situation that we were given, but on the narrative timing and opportunity for it. As in, if there was ever going to be a time for Luffy and company to bring down Big Mom, the arc where Big Mom is the major villain and everything's piling up around her would be it. Any other time just wouldn't make sense, narratively. Or at least to anybody's satisfaction. Now that the scenario's been laid out, people concerned about in-series logic have their conditions satisfied and they're totally on board, while it also adds even more narrative weight and room for complications/hijinx to the now inevitable confrontation, building up momentum for all the readers. Because of the last few chapters, now it'd be more deflating if Luffy didn't somehow take Big Mom down, even if he has to jump through insane and hilarious hoops to do it.
