Shocked I tell you

He did? I'm positive there was some flashback where somebody (Rayleigh?) was laughing remembering how Roger would ignore the crew pointing out they were grossly outnumbered/outgunned and rush headlong into a fight?

Yes he would rush into dumb fights, but also run from others he probably could have won.

Luffy will always fight if he has a reason to, but not purely for his own pride. Consider how the first encounters between Shanks and Higuma or Luffy and Bellamy go.

Properly he should be Shirohige.

Blackbeard should be Kurohige for consistency.

There we go, no one will ever ask why he's called Whitebeard with only a mustache.

I think only person who we know Roger even ran away from was Garp, based on how Garp was mentioned to have cornered Roger multiple times.

If you squint, maybe Big Mom because she claims that Roger somehow tricked her to get her Poneglyph rubbings instead of fighting for it?

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
They revealed the 1st 2nd and 3rd place trophy cards for the World Championships of the trading card game today, such a great art.


They're also going to sell for a fuckload of money if people decide to sell, the winner of one of the 4 qualifying tournaments to get into this one sold his winner card for $200k+ and there are 4 of those, these are 1/1.

Wasn't the whole Whitebeard thing because the Japanese word used more literally translates to just "Facial Hair" and calling him Whitemustache would be silly so they went with Whitebeard?

Yeah, similar to Whitebeard/Blackbeard where when their names in Japanese are written as Shirohage/Kurohage but even Oda writes them as the former when he uses English.

If the man grew a beard it'd be white but like has he had white beard hair all of his life?

The answer is 'yes, of course.'

Law and his crew got a good showing in the anime taking on Blackbeard and a couple of his top lieutenants, really demonstrated why Law is a big deal and deserving of his high status in the pirate world. Can't wait to see how his peer Kidd does when he faces a similar situation!

Seems like he handled Law, Coby, and Hancock pretty well. Also Shanks is scared of him and has recently swept aside some of the fraud allegations.

I don't really blame Blackbeard for running from Akainu. Everyone's already complaining about the small island being on fire and how hot it was and then a guy shows up who could flood the whole thing with magma. Sounds like fate wasn't on his side for that one.

A better question is, Why? Why fight Aikanu? Blackbeard has no prestige or honor and will do whatever to achieve his goals and enjoy the journey there. So if Aikanu shows up and he has no reason to fight. just GTFO.
