I like that Smoker has such a good grasp on Luffy that he accurately predicted the next island that Luffy would be at, only to get screwed over when the Strawhats ended up going to Punk Hazard due to circumstances that he couldn't have seen coming.

Luffy's gotten away from four different Admirals before so I wouldn't hold too much against Smoker. Not that any of those admirals were really going ALL out to try and capture him

So here's this thing that Oda apparently drew? A what-if thing.  Source: https://twitter.com/YonkouProd/status/882625199312482304/photo/1

I can't believe in this what-if scenario that Akainu is going to kill both of Luffy's older brothers.

Man, if my name was Hinata I don't know if I'd touch Naruto stuff with a 10 foot pole, let alone apparently make a career out of it.

Eiba posted:The joke is Ace doesn't know how to spell his own name. The twist is that Ace was in on the joke. The crossed out s is both a self deprecating joke and a tribute to Sabo. I always thought the joke was that the tattoo artist was going to write rear end on his arm or something.

We have barely even dipped our toe into how strong the revolutionaries really are. We don't even know what fruit Dragon owns, he could have weather control or he could be so powerful he just commands weather. Sabo was apparently a powerhouse before he got Ace's fruit, and maybe even stronger than Ace at his peak since he was secretly second in command before all that nonsense. Maybe the Kaido fight is going to involve him loving up Shanks, but Dragon, Sabo and friend joining Luffy & friends to take him out. There's just so many superpowers left and I still don't feel like the straw hats have even been pushed to their limits yet. There's still so many people left to fight this manga could go on another 20 years and still feel short

I'm still betting that the World Government will capture Sabo and announce his imminent execution to draw out Dragon in a repeat of Marineford, but Luffy will be able to tip the battle and save his brother this time thanks to his increased personal strength, the presence of his crew and that that's where the Strawhats Armada will come in to play. The whole of the second half of the story is vaguely paralleling the first half, and that seems the perfect way to cap it and include a massive battle of multiple factions that rivals Marineford while also showcasing how Luffy has grown and that he can now protect the people he wants to, by doing what he failed to do years before.

I think there'll be a final clash at Marineford but I don't think it'll echo the first one so closely, by the story's end we will know what happened during the Void Century and Luffy will be headed for conflict with the WG regardless. What we really need is Sabo to smash Akainu into a million pieces.

EmmyOk posted:What we really need is Sabo to smash Akainu into a million pieces. Why? I'd say Luffy would be more satisfying given Luffy was right there when it happened and Ace sacrificed himself to Akainu to save Luffy. Sabo has Ace's fruit but he only read about it happening so seeing him defeat Akainu doesn't seem nearly as satisfying to me. Anyway, it's unlikely that the Marineford equivalent battle will actually be at Marineford if it happens, given Marineford is no longer the Marine HQ following the battle there. Sakazuki shifted the HQ to the G-1 base instead, which is in the New World and apparently on the opposite point of the Red Line to Marineford; which would put it after Raftel geographically no? I didn't think there was any ports or anything after Raftel given that Raftel is the final island and presumably impossible for most to sail too, but maybe people just sail past it's rough location without realising it or something?

It definitely seems unlikely to me that Akainu is Luffy's final big opponent but I also think that he faces off with the World Government after Raftel and Blackbeard not before. Sabo being captured and a battle where this time Luffy saves him would be really bad writing on the level of Roger having had the Gum Gum Fruit.

Sabo being captured and a battle where this time Luffy saves him would be really bad writing on the level of Roger having had the Gum Gum Fruit. It being bad writing doesn't mean it can't happen. Not that I find it particularly egregious writing personally. If Sabo had been introduced in a more gradual or suitable manner I wouldn't find any fault with it at all I think. Nor do I understand why someone would say Akainu is an unlikely final opponent; he is the head representative of a system that controls the world, causes other possible final opponents (i. e. Blackbeard) to run away just by his presence and most importantly killed Luffy's brother. An event so devastating it was caused him to disband his crew for two years to train so that he would never have to suffer that pain of loss again. It's the single most significant loss he's had in the entire manga, including being beaten by Kuma, going by his reactions to the two events. Kuma made him cry and wonder about his worth; Akainu basically put him in an unresponsive coma from pure shock and was the push he needed to train.

Plus, Blackbeard needs to be beaten before Raftel, so he's an unlikely final boss, which leaves Luffy without someone obvious to punch. Unless there's revealed to be someone higher-ranking and more physically dangerous than Sakazuki in the World government (maybe one of the Gorosei will go Super Saiyan?), Luffy gets him by default.

Holy poo poo Stussy  Also looks like people called how they're getting away. After this chapter, I don't really see the Straw Hats beating Big Mom here, concidering how they all got trounced, but a miracle still could happen, I suppose

That said, that was just his stated plan, rather than a declaration of intent and his plans always go awry so I wouldn't hold it as definite yet. As to what happened, none of the strongest fighters are really trying to fight yet. Sanji wants to run, Jinbe is still in Bege and Luffy just mysteriously lost power. Its presumably something Big Mom did, but I've no idea what. Even Chopper and Nami have yet to take the field. It's really just the Germa that have been fighting thus far, and helpers always lose to help set up an arc battle.

Why? It's not like anything has even happened; might as well be smug over Luffy fighting Big Mom at the end of the last chapter, claiming that's proof of what'll happen.
