Kai D. Ou

Kai means something-or-other (like King Kai) in Japanese, and Ou means king. I think I'm onto something here.

Usopp's fight in the next arc is the best fight in all of one piece, maybe.

No, none that have been confirmed. I hope that remains the case. An Emperor's crew that's as strong as they are with their natural abilities would be great.

It would also be a nice contrast with Blackbeard's crew with everyone and their grandmother trying to hunt down and steal Devil Fruits to cheese their way to victory.

I don't really agree. The feats of non users are just as absurd and over the top as DF users and people like Luffy work just as hard to make lamer fruits strong as hell. Like none of the other regular guys are working out like Zoro. And they'd all have super strong abilities that aren't from fruits but are indistinguishable from fruits if he went that route I suspect.

I said it earlier but just like Linlin and her kids, Kaido and his smile users, I really hope the gimmick of Blakcbeards army is just 100s of subordinate captains with some sort of Beard name

CP9 was pretty cool. I mean, a lot of them had fruits but only Kaku, Kalifa and maybe Blueno (since he mostly uses it to evade) had theirs function significantly differently than a straightforward power boost. One Piece has so much weird poo poo in it that at this point, having a crew of guys who just sold whatever fruits they found sounds more fascinating than even Kaido’s crew, because One Piece is a setting where even ignoring the Six Arts and the variants people like Sanji stumble into, you can make a heat seeking tornado by punching hard enough.

Wasn't No Devil Fruits Allowed basically the Roger Pirates whole schtick? Like, they had the option of getting free superpowers in exchange for their ability to swim and basically went "yeah no, not worth it".

Shanks and Buggy both think that losing the ability to swim is not worth the power Devil Fruits give you. This might even have been Roger's view on it.

Franky specifically declined Luffy's offer to take Ace's fruit, because it would limit his ability to swim.

I feel like there's something that Franky could do to his body to completely negate the side-effects of not being able to swim, like turn himself into a submarine somehow

one of the last episodes i remember watching before switching to the manga was franky being introduced and falling into the water and someone goes "ah huuuh?? he doesn't have a fruit !!" because he could swim

Franky needs to dive into the water to make repairs to the boat, so not being able to swim would be bad for him.

We're at an impasse here. Jinbei, Law, and Carrot have been traveling or affiliated with the Straw Hats for over five years and Yamoto shows up and we're ready to put him on the crew too.
