i dont think its fair to say jimbei wasn't loyal to big mom. for his purposes and for that time, they were in an alliance. he would have left with no drama if big mom wasn't insane as hell

Yeah, Big Mom does seem better as a protection racket goes than Kaido at least, as little as that says. Her demands are pretty clear and not inhumane, though there's the predictable cost of pissing her off, and even then she's willing to get pissed off at someone you blame for wrecking your factory rather than you if you have an excuse. (Though she seemed to see right through Luffy's bluff but willing to transfer the grudge anyway, maybe because she was in a good mood)

And even once he does come to the WG table, their nobles were one whim away from enslaving his own daughter in front of him regardless of the consequences. Really probably not far off what it's like dealing with a colonial empire as a minority people- even if they're willing to invite you to the table, it's entirely at their leisure, and you can never let your guard down.

Is there another type of Shonen Manga...?

Uh, fights and jokes, I guess. So two types.

Yes, many. There are thousands of shonen series. You can’t possibly think they all fall into 2 categories? Adventure, sports, mystery, horror, romance, various types of dramas.

That was kind of my thinking; Chopper's powers are workable, but pretty inelegant. I can see him getting a powerup (yeah, yeah, I know) in Elbaf, where being able to turn giant isn't going to be enough to pull through in a fight.

I think you'll find I absolutely can think that. :downs: Don't understimate the wild generalizations I'm willing to think.

Is it intelligent, reasonable, or accurate? No.
Could I think of any shonen manga that didn't fall into those two categories when I wrote that or at this moment? Also no.

You and whose knees?

So when Luffy's fruit awakens he'll basically be able to turn the battleground into a giant bouncy castle right? What happened to Cracker, except instead of being sent flying three towns over, you fly straight into Luffy's fist coming just as fast in the opposite direction

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Luffy should be able to turn other people into rubber at-will, punch their heads a mile outward, then hit them on the rebound with a kong gun with their normal bodies back

He'll absolutely master this technique within a day, because if you could turn your surroundings into a bouncy castle at any time why the hell wouldn't you

Also something something Gummi Bears

Actually on that note it absolutely makes sense why Oda specifically chose the goofiest looking power he could think of for the hero, because it means he never stops being fun.

I think he's on record as saying that that's basically the exact reason he has the Gum Gum fruit. There's always an element of comedy.

This brings up a good point about Kaido vs Luffy. What the actual gently caress kind of final attack are we gonna get? Luffy *split the loving city* when he finished off Doflamingo. Is Wano gonna get completely demolished even worse than Marineford maybe? We saw what just one of Kaido's Boro Breaths can do to the landscape.

God damn it, where are my ant keys?! I'm gonna miss my flight!
He’s gonna punch Kaido so hard that the entire island of Wano is turned into a normal island that the rest of the world can easily sail to. Like Luffy won’t just “open Wano to the world”, he will literally destroy all the geographical features that make it so hard to sail to on accident.

Yooo that'd be dope. Would completely get rid of the isolationism and open it up. Might even be a mini-version of how the end of the series will go.

I like that just two arcs after Dressrosa, Oda had Luffy get comically obese off of Cracker's biscuits and use Gear 4th to turn himself into a walking fortress.

He even finished the fight with his giant haki belly. That was great.
