So Orochi totally poisoned Oden's father right? Like the panel where it says roughly "Oden returned because he father had a mysterious illness" has young Orochi looking like a nervous schemer.

I mean, he was boiled alive. Kaido probably enjoyed his victory Oden.

The crazy part is that we're probably not even near what will be refereed to as "when the arc got really good" when we all look back on it in the future. Wano has been so good.

So where are we at along the timeline with Whitebeard on his own and with his signature ship? Oden, iirc, was with the Roger Pirates at Raftel, right? Might have (literally) jumped ship at some point... or maybe it was a Davy Back Fight.

We're at 30 years ago, Roger was executed about 24 years ago I think and didn't start seriously going for Raftel until a couple of years before he died, so we've got some wiggle room yet.

Honestly I'm not big on young Whitebeard's flowing locks.

I wonder if Oden beats Whitebeard and the reason he ends up hanging out with team Roger is that Roger is the only guy Oden couldn't kick the poo poo out of.

Or he does join Whitebeard and then the decades long rivalry between Whitebeard and Roger is because Roger took Oden in a Daveyback.

Oden: So how come you and this Roger guy are fighting?
Whitebeard: One of us will reach Laugh Tale, and
Oden: oh i know where that is, that's easy
Roger: DAVEYBACK RIGHT NOW

Mostly was thinking if Whitebeard's sailing on his own this is probably after Roger and Garp broke up the Rocks Pirates, so there might already be a rivalry between them.


Parrotine posted:

Before Blackbeard, Whitebeard is def meant to be one of the most pirate-y pirates.

Actually makes sense that even the most powerful pirate crews can't reach Raftel without something allowing them to read the Poneglyphs. Hence why Big Mom has the whole long game going and is impatiently waiting for Pudding's third eye to open, Roger had his undefined power to 'hear the voice of all things' as well as possibly inside info from Oden, and Luffy crucially has Robin, perhaps the last person in the world actually fluent in the written language.

Since Blackbeard will inevitably end up at Raftel for the final battle how do you think he's gonna translate the Poneglyphs?

It's even harder than that. He has to get access to them too. So ultimately he'll somehow steal the Strawhats coordinates.
