Ryaomon posted:Here's Blackbeard's very first appearance ever. I love Blackbeard's design so much. He's so antithesis of everything you'd expect a Shonen final boss to look like, with his greasy hair, big hairy gut, crude mannerisms. He's also goofy at times, is shown to be very vulnerable, and has several moments where his dignity is stripped away from him. Yet he still manages to be threatening, intimidating, and a very interesting character. He's like the anti-Aizen.

Before this manga ends Luffy is going to Red Hawk Sakazuki. Sabo might do the rest, but I highly doubt that Luffy isn't going to get atleast one punch in against him.

I hope that in the final stretch it’s not luffy taking on the strongest villains. I hope it’s zoro and ussop. Luffy has never needed to be the strongest like zoro or grow a legend like ussop. He just wants to be the most free, so it would be a nice subversion of tropes that at the end while he may be pirate king he’s only like the 5th strongest fighter in the armada.

Yeah it's pointed out in the Enies Lobby arc where someone (Ussop? Sanji?) points out that Luffy has a tendency to go after the strongest of their opponents because he knows the weaker members can't handle them or something like that. It's also why he sent Franky after Robin while he stayed back to fight Lucci, cause he knew Lucci would kill his crew.

Luffy has to become the strongest because that's what you have to be in his world to be the most free. You can't be the second without the first. Being the most free in One Piece world (to Luffy, anyway, Blackbeard might have a different definition) means no matter what anyone else in the world tries to tell you to do, you can say no and have the power to back that decision up against any force they can bring to muster. or i guess just do what enel did and gently caress off out of everyone else's reach, lol

blackbeard is a fatalist, he trusts that its his destiny to become king of the pirates and so far its working out.......i think hes going to realize at the end that he has a different destiny and end up helping luffy

So who do you think is the more likely "final boss" of the series so far, Blackbeard or Imu (though it might be funny if it turned out to be Buggy given his current rate of success)? The former's the more obvious choice given he's basically Luffy's polar opposite but then again we haven't really seen much of the latter to really judge his personality or what he's capable of. My guess is Blackbeard is probably going to go down at Raftel (or gets browbeaten into joining the Strawhat Armada though that's slightly less likely) and then after Luffy finds One Piece and becomes the new Pirate King the crew will then take the fight directly to the WG alongside their allies and the Revolutionaries.

I'm still curious how that confrontation is going to go since Shanks isn't really a bad guy per se. I imagine if they wind up fighting at all it'll be more like a test of Luffy's strength or something like that.

We know so little about Shanks. It could still turn out that Luffy actually has to take him out for some reason. It would be pretty powerful/compelling if that has to happren

Luffy becoming Pirate King by reaching Raftel will almost certainly not be the end of the manga because it’s the next step required for a whole bunch of story elements to come into play. Blackbeard may be Luffy’s most significant rival pirate, but he’s still a pirate - as Pirate King, son of Dragon, and inheritor of the Will of D, Luffy’s greatest natural enemy is the World Government and the Celestial Nobles. Imu will probably be the end-boss, but if he turns out to be Borsalino wearing a really huge hat (or just Borsalino’s puppet), then I totally called it. Absurdly powerful monkey-themed goofball with (suspiciously celestial) powers named after the Imperial Regalia of Japan and with the closest connection to Vegapunk of any of the Admirals? Yeah, he’s one to watch, especially if Sakazuki does the Nobunaga thing and goes down early.

Kild posted:Han Solo.. the difference there is han didn't want to die nor did he expect to I'm pretty sure Shanks has been preparing for his death, however it goes down, from the moment he entrusted Luffy with his hat. edit: actually, the moment he sacrificed his arm to that sea king, that's probably more accurate

The most fitting and thematic? Blackbeard. The one the gels most with the story? The Nobles and Imu The obvious curveball? A reformed WG with New Marines under Sakazuki/Someone else other than these 3, I can't see any other current faction or character being able to hold up an arc on their lonesome. And It's very much going to depend on if they reach Raftel before the final arc. I can't see BB as a fight after Raftel. Rigged Death Trap fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Sep 25, 2018 |

I think its going to be the world history being revealed at Raftel. Luffy as pirate king accidentally leading a revolution against the world government. Then as it all comes burning down, Blackbeard shows up to kill and steal and plunder and revel in true pirate anarchy, which is something Luffy very much dislikes. A new government that would be formed by all of the strawhats friends and people saved along the way, they all get threatened by Blackbeard and Luffy is forced to confront his opposite

And our devil fruits allow us to play guitar perfectly every time without even trying" Also, since the feedback to my Katakuri was so positive, I thought I'd share a few more pics of the finished product. My knee pads messed up so I had to build a last minute solution, and my makeup for my face scars ended up not working out, but overall I'm pleased with how the whole mess turned out    Bonus Big Mom and Pudding
