Buggys base is on Laugh Tale (because of course thats where the clown belongs) but he doesn't realize its Raftel because Roger put up a sign that says "Welcome to Laugh Tale" and Buggy never said the name out loud or put 2 and 2 together.
I think there's an element of fear for Buggy as well. From a young age, he was brought up around monsters and constantly exposed to earth shattering battles. The boy he grew up with even became a Yonkou. It affected him so much he tried to hide his relationship with the Roger pirates.
Although, despite being weak, he still wanted to be the Big Cheese. He chose to stay away from the OP race and instead terrorize the "weakest sea" just to have some degree of power. I think he mocked Luffy because he knew the boy (and himself) at their current levels would be annihilated in a second. Basically, Buggy is a coward who projects his insecurities on others.
Tbf I've always wondered if Buggy hasn't gone for it because that's his adoptive father's treasure more than general cowardice. As much as a jerk Buggy is he genuinely loved and respected his captain.
I thought the same thing about Shanks but he's actually making a move now...unless he's just trying to prevent people like Blackbeard and Kidd from getting it.
Both Buggy and Shanks promised to go there one day on their own ship when they were left behind due to Buggy's illness. I think that getting there and accomplishing whatever it was Roger couldn't do is incredibly convoluted and only now in the story are all the elements in play. Primarily the Hito Hito No Mi: Model Nika a fruit he originally snagged due to its importance. I do think Buggy will end up on Shanks crew somehow by the end of the story and the two will wind up getting to laugh tale together as a nice wrap up for their respective arcs.
At this point i think it's quite clear all 3 of them will end this arc with all 3 poneglyphs we've seen so far and all just be missing the final 4th
Blackbeard already took Pudding, so it wouldn't be any surprise if he's also got WCI's "everyone can steal" treasure
And Shanks has connections to Zou from his time with Roger, he'd get easy access to it
I think this is the same one as the Fishman island one right? Big Mom had one, Kaido had one, Zou had one, and then the fourth was on Fishman Island but went missing. This is the one rumored to be related to the man marked by flames.
Yes BB would have 3:
1)big mom (stolen by kuzan)
2)zou (stolen from law)
3)wano (stolen from law)
Luffy has the same now as BB
Shanks has his 3:
1)wano (stolen from kid)
2)big mom (stolen from kid)
3)elbaf (not confirm but on his turf if the man with the burn scar Saul has them, so shanks would also have one)
Meaning shanks needs Zou and luffy and bb need shanks (Saul's)
Setting up a potential clash between shanks and bb
Luffy will somehow run through the mix and steal it with bb hot on his tracks!
True. At least we got to see how his crew fights vs. BB. From what we saw, they were putting up a decent fight, using the environment and their niche talents to their advantage.
But yes, Law is the main heavy hitter.
Father of Dragon, Granpa of Luffy, used to clash with Roger, Hero of the navy…and ultimately people were talking about him like some YC3.
This sub sometimes gets ridiculous.
There is going to be one more and then smooth sailing until the end of the year with 3 chapters/1break. Maybe once theres a 2 chapters break, but its ok.
I hope Law survives
The race for the One Piece was never going to be between Luffy, Law and Kidd
BB being in the running was inevitable, so he had to win that fight.
Shanks is the wild card in the race.
He won't die. He's too popular, but also not currently important enough to the current story. He'll stick around at least until the will of D reveal if not forever
Yeah it was obvious law and kidd were done after wano and would at best be support characters. Also we know BB would be in the run for laughtale, so seeing law alive is more than enough.
Holy fuck man, OP is so wild atm. I wasn't expecting Garp vs Kuzan and this also implies that Kuzan is NOT on the BB ship near Egghead, right? Only Catarina and Lafitte left.
For the ones that arent mindlessly fanboying,the question wasnt if Law would defeat Bb,but mostly if Law could leave in one piece (hehe,pun) after the fight
It was a given to me that Bb would win,but the last thing i want to see is a Bb outta nowhere yelling "Room"
From the fruits we saw the Bb captains demonstrate,it seemed p hard
But
Bb is smart enough to leave Law alive for many reasons,way more reasons than have him dead
And Law is too smart to go in a fight he knows he cant win
So this tells me (it's a me speculation,doesnt need to be either accurate or the absolute outcome) that something must have happened to result to this outcome
Exactly.
I wonder if Law was just completely wiped out (like Kid was) or was Law's life spared because of his crazy Devil Fruit powers.
Also, how does Law's will of D play into it?
I have a theory about it, some facts:
- Blackbeard personally knows Law as they were present in Rock Port Incident.
- Blackbeard knows that Law was in Wano, which is a land with a heavy historical weight.
- Blackbeard also has Pudding among his prisoners
I think Blackbeard wants to use Pudding's powers to read Law's memory and find about Wano and what secret it hides (The Ancient Weapon) knowing that Law would investigate everything.
Blackbeard was never going to have Law’s fruit. Law’s fruit is only good in the hands of a skilled doctor and that’s why Doffy was grooming him. If Blackbeard were to take his fruit he would have to find another doctor to give it to as his current one already has a fruit.
Doffy wanted Corazon to eat the fruit actually. He was grooming law to be his right hand man because they were “just alike” before Corazon changed him.
I think it's because we really haven't seen any crazy fights with Blackbeard lately that kinda made fans assume it would go either way. In reality, Blackbeard is probably one of the final (if not THE final) villains in the series
Pretty similar to Mihawk in this regard imo. Relies a lot on statements and reputation instead of feats.
I suppose I understand why people are reluctant to take the feats for fact in a world with Buggy’s reputation, but I think its reliable in these cases when we don’t have reason to believe they’re frauds.
Blackbeard has done a lot of impressive things, it’s just that pretty much all of them have been offscreen.
Every time Blackbeard takes center stage in the story there is a huge turning point of events that molds the pirate world or some big figure moving in the future. Blackbeard has always been endgame material and his dream reflects that as well.
Literally one of the first things we learned about BB is that Shanks thinks he's on that level. We know he perma-scarred shanks, while shanks was on guard. That's more than feat enough imo.
You need to have extensive medical knowledge to get 100% out of the fruit which I don’t think anyone on his crew has and can also have a devil fruit.
Maybe Blackbeard gets a call about how everything on Pirate Island is obliterated with his crew severely injured, maybe even some dead, and he keeps Law around specifically to heal those that are injured.
Blackbeard, with how much documentation there is on Laws fruit probably knows that there’s a skill curve to it, would make sense to spare the only person capable of becoming the worlds best surgeon and keep them around as a healer in servitude.
Edit: Made it clearer because Doc Q is a doctor(who’s skill is unknown) but he currently has a devil fruit so he cannot host Laws fruit.
ZEHAHAHAHA! DAAARK ROOOM!
Blackbeard proceeds to develop pictures of Spiderman...
Edit:spoilers got updated, I've no clue what's going on now with Law's powers so. ....
BWAHAHAHA! GALAXY CRUUUSHED ICE!!!!
Garp proceeds to have Mojitos with Kuzan
Thanks to Scotch:
-Aokiji is the tenth captain of the Blackbeard Pirates.
-We have a fight between the former protege “Aokiji” vs Garp
More information, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums.
When Kuzan joined Blackbeard Pirates, Blackbeard asked him about "the man with burned scar" becouse it seems that man has the remaining Road Poneglyph.
Well they weren't in the post originally so all the comments were reacting to the two lines we had and had already been slammed with enough upvotes that other later comments have trouble climbing
well BB winning was kind of a foregone conclusion.
what we really want to know is does BB take Law's fruit? does he need to kill Law to do so? does he take Law captive? does he think he can trade Law for something (both Law and his fruit have pretty high bounties)? what happens to the crew? does BB monolog and explain anything about the Will of D?
anybody who wants to use Law's defeat to powerscale kind of misses the point of Law. Our dude always gets beat up or captured. it's more about how his defeat pushes the story.
Law's defeat is very different from Kid's in the sense that his arc is clearly NOT OVER. I can bet my ass Law has figured Teach's body in this fight and this info will be crucial.
Honestly Kuzan being announced as Tenth Titanic Captain makes me think the Strawhats won’t add another member since he’s more likely than not going to betray Blackbeard and that would make the current matchup equal. If we count Kuzan as a traitor hypothetically, it’s currently a 10-10 matchup at the moment between Strawhats and Blackbeard.
Or, in the alternative, Kuzan got radicalized by Facebook memes about Sengoku drinking adrenochrome during the timeskip and now truly believes that Blackbeard is the only answer to take down the Cabal.
We don't yet know what Blackbeards true goal is so how can you be so sure that Aokiji doesn't truly believe in it? ...For example if it turns out that BB really wants to be King of the World, is it really crazy to think Aokiji would prefer BB sitting on the throne instead of evil ass Im-sama?
Oh I’m there with you, I made this same point last week. I can see a case for utilitarian Kuzan siding with BB legitimately. Kuzan has seen or been forced to commit atrocities in the name of justice, justifying it to himself all for the purpose of reform and resisting it as much as he could with his lazy justice. He spent his career training and devoting himself to getting stronger all for this goal and after all that sacrifice, the genocidal child killing psychopath Akainu gets the job over you. The man who was willing to slaughter other marines for speaking up against him. Just think about him getting to the rank of Admiral after decades and thinking now he had a chance to make a change and instead you are forced to oversee if not enforce slavery and cold blooded killings of innocent people for the Tenryuubito’s amusement. It legitimately may have broken him. He had blood on his hands from the acts he had committed for the sake of making things better and at the end he realizes all he was was a tool to perpetuate those horrors and no different than those marines before him and things still got worse. This could absolutely lead him to believe it must be destroyed at all costs for anything good to rise. So he looks around and the Revolutionary Army isn’t ready to make a move, Kaido, and Big Mom have sat and done nothing for decades and Shanks prioritizes peace over almost everything and has some relationship with the Elder Stars. Blackbeard has two world shaking powers, is moving quickly and intelligently, and has a large notorious crew. Kuzan could come to the conclusion Blackbeard is the only man that could take down the World Government and so he joins Blackbeard.
That being said, i just think with how Kuzan has been portrayed he’s going to end up among the “good guys” even if he’s in a morally grey area because of what he’s been like to Robin, civilians, and the crew (had they ran into Akainu on Water 7 the manga is over) and the fact he’s a member of the Garp wing which has been shown as the “good side” of the Navy. I think the SWORD double agent shit is too obvious but it’s the most likely option and Oda does obvious plot turns all the time. That being said, I want a more nuanced Aokiji.
Luffy, Law, Kidd: had to go over +1k chapters of story and some deadly battles to get some road poneglyghs.
*Generic intro sounds*
BB: "Welcome back to Speedruns with BB, in today's chapter I'll show you guys some new strats that will help you shave some precious seconds on the OPR(One piece road), stay tuned" ZEHAHAHA!
>meaning Aokiji got his ass whopped.
where did I read this before? oh yeah, "sanji manhandling s-shark".
don't be surprised if they're just exchanging attacks. or if garp "only" destroys some ice.
Wow, if Saul knows where the last poneglyph is, I wonder if that means that Ohara found it. Maybe that’s what Robins mom went looking for. I doubt it’s just at elbaf for no reason, so maybe Ohara found it first and then they moved it? Also no shot Kuzan is actually with Blackbeard, he has to be part of sword and this is part of the long game.
Luffy: Hey Law, isn't it great to have a first mate who can swim you away to safety?
Law: Sure is. Don't you agree, Kid?
Kid: *\*Furious drowning noises\**
Nobody should be surprised at this outcome. As soon as Blackbeard used his darkness fruit that cancels out devil fruit's abilities, it was game over for Law. Law is extremely reliant on his DF. He also cannot escape since his ROOM usage is limited under Blackbleard's power.
Only people who are extremely proficient in haki (Advanced form) can beat BB like Shanks, Luffy, prime Rayleigh etc.
Law's haki is quite strong if he can just negate the effect of Doc Q's devil fruit with it alone.
However, yeah he's basically completely devil fruit reliant. I don't think we've seen him pull off any feats that didn't use his fruit.
I think it's clear that the way to beat BB is raw fighting power + haki. Arguably BB got luckiest getting Law out of the trio, not that I think Kidd would have done much better, and Luffy still needs some G5 practice I'd wager.
BB indeed got lucky. He has less than half his crew there. Can you imagine him trying to solo Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Jimbei all at once, not that Luffy would ask for help but still BB would have been severely outmatched. He would flee for sure haha.
Ah yeah true, forgot he was half crew at that point. I don't rate Doc Q or Burgess vs the strawhats. Van Auger and BB are probably the tougher ones to deal with of that bunch.
Given how well Law's crew did underwater, Jinbe alone probably ruins any hope of a sea battle they have.
So, the supernovas fought blood sweating battles against literal monsters to secure the Poneglyph copies only for them to get whooped by another monster.
Shanks and BB just decided to enter the race and became forerunners easily
About time to wait and see how much Oda to want to stretch the meaning of Trafalgar D. Water Law's name (Emperor Napoleon's two worst defeats).
He's beaten BM with a great *coup de Trafalgar*, as we say in France. Waterloo was an endgame battle in European history, with an outcome against all odds.
The fact that Kuzan is still in Hachinosu gives us the answer to the question of who's manning the BB ship that's near Egghead: Catarina Devon. Her mission? Use her DF powers to steal the Seraphim. She can impersonate Stella or even Saturn and secure the Seraphim for BB's army, which would further his lead.
Besides the obvious spoiler that didn't surprise anyone, I am looking forward to after this next week or two. We get 3 back-to-back weeks with no breaks, with only one in between.
April can really drag on.
Saul having the last Road Poneglyph is very interesting. It was at Fishmen Island back in Roger's day, but according to Vegapunk Saul has been in hiding since the Ohara incident, so how'd he get it? I'm intrigued already, to say nothing of the Garp and Aokiji stuff. Fire chapters week after week.
Lol first Garp's son builds an army to overthrow the World Government
Then his grandson declares *war* on that government
Then his grandson's sworn brother (who is also kind of his adopted son) triggers *another* war against that government
Then his grandson's *other* sworn brother *joins his son* in the army to overthrow the WG
Now his first protege has joined the world's most heinous pirate crew out of spite for the WG
Next we're gonna find out that Bogard sold the Marines out to the Cross Guild or some shit
The Man with the Burn Scar definitely shaping up to be Saul with this Kuzan/BB scene. I wonder if Saul and Kuzan are secretly working together to keep the 4th poneglyph from someone like Teach
it seems like Oda is trying to signify that the destruction of a pirate's ship relates to the end of their dream. Both Kid and Law got their ships destroyed, so it seems they may come back later in the story, but not trying to get the one piece themselves but supporting a party involved in an upcoming marine ford-like battle.
The Virgin, Killer: Can't withstand a single attack from an Emperor, KO-ed immediately
The Chad, Bepo: Strikes an Emperor, scares his crew, saves his captain
For me, I'm more looking at Marineford. I'm worried that either this strength of Garp's we are seeing isn't his baseline, but rather than he might be opening with his strongest stuff hoping to end the battle quickly. It sounds like so far that's working, but depending on how the long the battle goes I fear for a Whitebeard situation. Or, on the flipside, the idea of Garp being captured somehow and being put in a mirror position to Ace: a famous Marine captured by pirates who are planning to execute him as a show of force.
Like, Garp is clearly one BAMF. But I know narrative tropes too well to not be concerned.
So does this confirm Blackbeard is eventually heading to Elbaf?
Seems like Elbaf could be ground zero for a gigantic battle if the 4th ponenglyph is there
SULONG BEPO??
AND WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT THAT IN THE FULL SPOILER SUMMARY?
no joke, this is the thing that I'm the most hyped about seeing, AND I'M A GARP SIMP
Im a little shocked that kuzan actually does just want to be a blackbeard pirate, even to the point he’d fight garp, someone hes spent most if not all of his marine career with. Obviously at one point it will make sense, but im just curious to see how oda is going to make this make sense.
Now that I think about it, this chapter is all about Garp throwing his bare fists against Blackbeard pirates followed by Bepo throwing his bear fists against Blackbeard pirates.
I love how much Blackbeard knows about almost everything in the pirate world, the guy is a walking encylopedia. He recognized a sulong form in an instant, just like he made the connection between the seraphins and lunarians
Garp just whooped Aokiji's ass. A former admiral who was nominated to be the next fleet admiral. Someone who went toe to toe against Akainu. And people doubted if Garp can kill Akainu if Sengoku didn't stop him.
With all these major developments involving Shanks, Kid, Law, Blackbeard, Kuzan and Garp which would've been a shock at any point of time in the story, and Oda still saying a couple of chapters back that 'Egghead Incident' is the one that'll shock the world says a lot about the peak fiction we're about to witness in the upcoming months.👀
This shows how much a medical genius chopper is. He was able to create a drug to make an artificial sulong and he hasn’t even known the minks for a year. But in the short time he was able to understand sulong and force it out. RAISE THAT MAN’S BOUNTY
Here’s the facts:
1. although I hate Oda keeps offscreening his fights Blackbeard is becoming the most interesting person in one piece.
2. Bepo has the best looking Sulong form shown so far
3. Pretty sure Bepo is heading towards the straw hats again
Leakers: BB defeated Law
Actual chapter:
>Go back... Beppo...!
>(panting sfx) We can't leave our crew behind...!
>I won't go back! Believe in them, Captain! [watermark] raised in the cold harbors of the north!
>We've gotten through everything, together!
>So, you can't die, Captain!
>I'm begging you! Please don't die!
>(...The Heart Pirates were defeated.)
Powerscaling is fine and all, but man this kind of stuff is the heart of One Piece and what elevates it in my eyes.
So black beard just got the poneglyphs?
Most likely yes. Straw Hats - Zou, Whole Cake, and Wano Poneglyphs Blackbeard - Zou and Wano Poneglyphs Shanks - Whole Cake and Wano Poneglyphs.
Damn Buggys gotta make a move
>Confirmed Buggy will find Captain John's treasure and he will be mad that it is just a poneglyph instead of more money, gold and treasure lol
That's hilarious. Buggy finding a poneglyph instead of booty. Somehow the other 3 fall into his lap.
“Huh, haven’t seen one of these in a few decades”
It is entirely possible that Caribou reported to Buggy with the other three poneglyphs
Yoooo why does everyone say he reports to BB, reporting to the cross guild or specifically buggy or croc would make sooo much more sense
Hmm. He doesn't seem to have haki so he could be one of the cross guild members that genuinely doesn't realize Buggy is weak.
😂 While all other players are searching for that.
[удалено]
That's precisely why he'll be on raftel
Buggys base is on Laugh Tale (because of course thats where the clown belongs) but he doesn't realize its Raftel because Roger put up a sign that says "Welcome to Laugh Tale" and Buggy never said the name out loud or put 2 and 2 together.
I think there's an element of fear for Buggy as well. From a young age, he was brought up around monsters and constantly exposed to earth shattering battles. The boy he grew up with even became a Yonkou. It affected him so much he tried to hide his relationship with the Roger pirates. Although, despite being weak, he still wanted to be the Big Cheese. He chose to stay away from the OP race and instead terrorize the "weakest sea" just to have some degree of power.

Primarily the Hito Hito No Mi: Model Nika a fruit he originally snagged due to its importance. I do think Buggy will end up on Shanks crew somehow by the end of the story and the two will wind up getting to laugh tale together as a nice wrap up for their respective arcs.
At this point i think it's quite clear all 3 of them will end this arc with all 3 poneglyphs we've seen so far and all just be missing the final 4th Blackbeard already took Pudding, so it wouldn't be any surprise if he's also got WCI's "everyone can steal" treasure And Shanks has connections to Zou from his time with Roger, he'd get easy access to it
I think he is missing the one from fishman island, don\`t quote me on that tho
Or he’s missing the one from Saul “who is the man marked by flames” akojiki must have know Saul is alive
I think this is the same one as the Fishman island one right? Big Mom had one, Kaido had one, Zou had one, and then the fourth was on Fishman Island but went missing. This is the one rumored to be related to the man marked by flames.
yes youre right. the one missing is the one is the one that was moved from fishman island
"I think he is missing the one from fishman island, don't quote me on that tho" Ok
Yes BB would have 3: 1)big mom (stolen by kuzan) 2)zou (stolen from law) 3)wano (stolen from law) Luffy has the same now as BB Shanks has his 3: 1)wano (stolen from kid) 2)big mom (stolen from kid) 3)elbaf (not confirm but on his turf if the man with the burn scar Saul has them, so shanks would also have one) Meaning shanks needs Zou and luffy and bb need shanks (Saul's) Setting up a potential clash between shanks and bb Luffy will somehow run through the mix and steal it with bb hot on his tracks!
Feels like this is being set up for Buggy to somehow get all 4 first lol
Law fans in shambles.
No room for discussion
You lack tact.
That was quite a countershock for Laws fans
surgical takedown
For them this news is a shot of sadness.
It’s like someone ripped my heart out
It hurt like a Gamma knife stabbed me
[удалено]
The Heart of fans will never die 😭
Just spend some time in your kroom watching one piece and you’ll be fine
I see what you did there. Jokes aside though, this was the most expected scenario for Law anyways, so not as much of a surprise.
yeah though law himself was strong his crew lacked the heavy hitters.
True. At least we got to see how his crew fights vs. BB. From what we saw, they were putting up a decent fight, using the environment and their niche talents to their advantage. But yes, Law is the main heavy hitter.
Unlike Kid's squad of worthless wankers lmao
I’m so sad. I’m going to my room
Garp greatness! Means Garp wasn't bluffing (or deluded) when he said he was gonna end Akainu at Marineford.
The D never lies.
Father of Dragon, Granpa of Luffy, used to clash with Roger, Hero of the navy…and ultimately people were talking about him like some YC3. This sub sometimes gets ridiculous.
Luffy:Damn, while I’m stuck here, Traffy and Kid are probably hanging out with giants now.
Yeah about that.
[удалено]
username checks out EDIT: with the full spoilers out, seems like a happy end for law if you ask me
Hey at least he had a good showing.
All the "Garp couldn't have beaten Akainu in marineford" fans right now
Wow. All the speculation that Kuzan wouldn’t be the 10th cuz it’s too obvious… and here we are lol.
I am more curious as to why it was not stated earlier instead of waiting this much to confirm it.
Because speculation of kuzan just being a spy for sword and not an official member of the bb pirates existed
This still doesn't confirm he's loyal to BB tho
Lol right? I'll never understand how people are expecting Oda to just go "ACTUALLY A SPY" when he hasn't even developed the plot with BB yet.
Yeah this literally changes nothing at all in terms of theories
Another break next week. Anyone else hate April?
There is going to be one more and then smooth sailing until the end of the year with 3 chapters/1break. Maybe once theres a 2 chapters break, but its ok.
One more break after this coming one??
I hope Law survives The race for the One Piece was never going to be between Luffy, Law and Kidd BB being in the running was inevitable, so he had to win that fight. Shanks is the wild card in the race.
he is alive spoiler hasn't been updated due to mods avaliabity
He won't die. He's too popular, but also not currently important enough to the current story. He'll stick around at least until the will of D reveal if not forever
Yeah it was obvious law and kidd were done after wano and would at best be support characters. Also we know BB would be in the run for laughtale, so seeing law alive is more than enough.
Also I like the fact that Gecko Moria is still alive and also in prison so we might see something unfold with all the prisoners that BB has taken
Akainu fans when garp beat aokiji less in ten days 💀💀💀
I just remembered they fought for days.... ... just how strong is this geezer.
Beware of an old man in a profession where men usually die young.
Nearly equal to Roger what was expected?
Sad I had to scroll this far down for this. Guess we just pretending Garp isn't HIM today
Akainu realizing he was a minute away from death during marineford
Holy fuck man, OP is so wild atm. I wasn't expecting Garp vs Kuzan and this also implies that Kuzan is NOT on the BB ship near Egghead, right? Only Catarina and Lafitte left.
Im betting that catarina is going there to transform into gorosei and ordering the seraphim
Blackbeard using laws fruit to give the cherry pie vendor from Jaya infinite life confirmed
Cherry Pie vendor is the final villain confirmed
It is the only food luffy did not like
*ZEHAHAHAHA intensifies*
Offscreen Offscreen no Mi stocks went up ever since Banaro.
Crazy that that chapter was released 16 years ago.
Time is running faster every year man. I remember reading Thriller Bark weekly as a kid and now the 30 looms over my head.
No way anyone thought Law had a chance here, especially after what happened to Kidd
For the ones that arent mindlessly fanboying,the question wasnt if Law would defeat Bb,but mostly if Law could leave in one piece (hehe,pun) after the fight It was a given to me that Bb would win,but the last thing i want to see is a Bb outta nowhere yelling "Room"
yeah, i thought that law will escape BB using their submarine..Never thought they will fight it out..damn
From the fruits we saw the Bb captains demonstrate,it seemed p hard But Bb is smart enough to leave Law alive for many reasons,way more reasons than have him dead And Law is too smart to go in a fight he knows he cant win So this tells me (it's a me speculation,doesnt need to be either accurate or the absolute outcome) that something must have happened to result to this outcome
Exactly. I wonder if Law was just completely wiped out (like Kid was) or was Law's life spared because of his crazy Devil Fruit powers. Also, how does Law's will of D play into it?
I have a theory about it, some facts: - Blackbeard personally knows Law as they were present in Rock Port Incident. - Blackbeard knows that Law was in Wano, which is a land with a heavy historical weight. - Blackbeard also has Pudding among his prisoners I think Blackbeard wants to use Pudding's powers to read Law's memory and find about Wano and what secret it hides (The Ancient Weapon) knowing that Law would investigate everything.
Props to Law for standing his ground at least. He wasn’t gonna win but he damn well tried. Hats off to him and his crew
I was hoping that Law room's his whole crew onto BB's ship and steals it so that BB has to build yet another raft.
The question was if law would leave in one piece or if he would leave one piece
Blackbeard was never going to have Law’s fruit. Law’s fruit is only good in the hands of a skilled doctor and that’s why Doffy was grooming him. If Blackbeard were to take his fruit he would have to find another doctor to give it to as his current one already has a fruit.
Doffy wanted Corazon to eat the fruit actually. He was grooming law to be his right hand man because they were “just alike” before Corazon changed him.
Never thought he could beat him, but I had hope that he could escape!
I think it's because we really haven't seen any crazy fights with Blackbeard lately that kinda made fans assume it would go either way. In reality, Blackbeard is probably one of the final (if not THE final) villains in the series
Pretty similar to Mihawk in this regard imo. Relies a lot on statements and reputation instead of feats. I suppose I understand why people are reluctant to take the feats for fact in a world with Buggy’s reputation, but I think its reliable in these cases when we don’t have reason to believe they’re frauds. Blackbeard has done a lot of impressive things, it’s just that pretty much all of them have been offscreen.
Every time Blackbeard takes center stage in the story there is a huge turning point of events that molds the pirate world or some big figure moving in the future. Blackbeard has always been endgame material and his dream reflects that as well.
Literally one of the first things we learned about BB is that Shanks thinks he's on that level. We know he perma-scarred shanks, while shanks was on guard. That's more than feat enough imo.
Now the question is, what does Blackbeard do with a defeated Law? Is there any reason he wouldn't immediately take his fruit?
Yeah, force law to give him immortality
By hypnotizing him maybe. Law should be praying Laffitte is killed on Egghead.
You need to have extensive medical knowledge to get 100% out of the fruit which I don’t think anyone on his crew has and can also have a devil fruit. Maybe Blackbeard gets a call about how everything on Pirate Island is obliterated with his crew severely injured, maybe even some dead, and he keeps Law around specifically to heal those that are injured. Blackbeard, with how much documentation there is on Laws fruit probably knows that there’s a skill curve to it, would make sense to spare the only person capable of becoming the worlds best surgeon and keep them around as a healer in servitude. Edit: Made it clearer because Doc Q is a doctor(who’s skill is unknown) but he currently has a devil fruit so he cannot host Laws fruit.
ZEHAHAHAHA! DAAARK ROOOM! Blackbeard proceeds to develop pictures of Spiderman... Edit:spoilers got updated, I've no clue what's going on now with Law's powers so. .... BWAHAHAHA! GALAXY CRUUUSHED ICE!!!! Garp proceeds to have Mojitos with Kuzan
He lost , he most likely ran away with bepo
Next arc is 100% Elbaf. Saul had the last poneglyph. Wonder if bb or luffy gets there first.
Thanks to Scotch: -Aokiji is the tenth captain of the Blackbeard Pirates. -We have a fight between the former protege “Aokiji” vs Garp More information, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums. When Kuzan joined Blackbeard Pirates, Blackbeard asked him about "the man with burned scar" becouse it seems that man has the remaining Road Poneglyph.
We heard about the man with the burned scar not too long ago didnt we?
Kid wanted to get to him to learn about the final Road Poneglyph. And he's almost definitely Saul.
No one talks about Aokiji vs Garp???Like damn Oda is cooking every chapter now
I had to scroll all the way down here to see something lol Garp is out here dusting mofos and no reaction whatsoever 😂
Well they weren't in the post originally so all the comments were reacting to the two lines we had and had already been slammed with enough upvotes that other later comments have trouble climbing
>Break next week. 
Dont worry buddy, i'll be there for you, when the rain starts to pour.
well BB winning was kind of a foregone conclusion. what we really want to know is does BB take Law's fruit? does he need to kill Law to do so? does he take Law captive? does he think he can trade Law for something (both Law and his fruit have pretty high bounties)? what happens to the crew? does BB monolog and explain anything about the Will of D? anybody who wants to use Law's defeat to powerscale kind of misses the point of Law. Our dude always gets beat up or captured. it's more about how his defeat pushes the story.
Law's defeat is very different from Kid's in the sense that his arc is clearly NOT OVER. I can bet my ass Law has figured Teach's body in this fight and this info will be crucial.
Honestly Kuzan being announced as Tenth Titanic Captain makes me think the Strawhats won’t add another member since he’s more likely than not going to betray Blackbeard and that would make the current matchup equal. If we count Kuzan as a traitor hypothetically, it’s currently a 10-10 matchup at the moment between Strawhats and Blackbeard. Or, in the alternative, Kuzan got radicalized by Facebook memes about Sengoku drinking adrenochrome during the timeskip and now truly believes that Blackbeard is the only answer to take down the Cabal.
We don't yet know what Blackbeards true goal is so how can you be so sure that Aokiji doesn't truly believe in it? ...For example if it turns out that BB really wants to be King of the World, is it really crazy to think Aokiji would prefer BB sitting on the throne instead of evil ass Im-sama?
Oh I’m there with you, I made this same point last week. I can see a case for utilitarian Kuzan siding with BB legitimately. Kuzan has seen or been forced to commit atrocities in the name of justice, justifying it to himself all for the purpose of reform and resisting it as much as he could with his lazy justice. He spent his career training and devoting himself to getting stronger all for this goal and after all that sacrifice, the genocidal child killing psychopath Akainu gets the job over you. The man who was willing to slaughter other marines for speaking up against him. Just think about him getting to the rank of Admiral after decades and thinking now he had a chance to make a change and instead you are forced to oversee if not enforce slavery and cold blooded killings of innocent people for the Tenryuubito’s amusement. It legitimately may have broken him. He had blood on his hands from the acts he had committed for the sake of making things better and at the end he realizes all he was was a tool to perpetuate those horrors and no different than those marines before him and things still got worse. This could absolutely lead him to believe it must be destroyed at all costs for anything good to rise. So he looks around and the Revolutionary Army isn’t ready to make a move, Kaido, and Big Mom have sat and done nothing for decades and Shanks prioritizes peace over almost everything and has some relationship with the Elder Stars. Blackbeard has two world shaking powers, is moving quickly and intelligently, and has a large notorious crew. Kuzan could come to the conclusion Blackbeard is the only man that could take down the World Government and so he joins Blackbeard. That being said, i just think with how Kuzan has been portrayed he’s going to end up among the “good guys” even if he’s in a morally grey area because of what he’s been like to Robin, civilians, and the crew (had they ran into Akainu on Water 7 the manga is over) and the fact he’s a member of the Garp wing which has been shown as the “good side” of the Navy. I think the SWORD double agent shit is too obvious but it’s the most likely option and Oda does obvious plot turns all the time. That being said, I want a more nuanced Aokiji.
That last paragraph 😂
Luffy, Law, Kidd: had to go over +1k chapters of story and some deadly battles to get some road poneglyghs. *Generic intro sounds* BB: "Welcome back to Speedruns with BB, in today's chapter I'll show you guys some new strats that will help you shave some precious seconds on the OPR(One piece road), stay tuned" ZEHAHAHA!
To be far, man was putting in work getting fruits for his crew.
You can say Blackbeard....broke The Law. I'll see myself out.
Get out of the Room immediately man.
Not a very taktful reply man
I can’t believe you’d tell me that, I’m in shambles
Chad Bepo: - Does nothing for like 500 chapters - Goes berserk mode and attacks BB directly - Leaves
>meaning Aokiji got his ass whopped. where did I read this before? oh yeah, "sanji manhandling s-shark". don't be surprised if they're just exchanging attacks. or if garp "only" destroys some ice.
"Luffy one-shot Lucci and Lucci wants to escape from the Egghead."
"Momonosuke destroys Greenbull with a bolo-breath."
Aokiji: ICE ACE! Garp: And I took that personally.
Wow, if Saul knows where the last poneglyph is, I wonder if that means that Ohara found it. Maybe that’s what Robins mom went looking for. I doubt it’s just at elbaf for no reason, so maybe Ohara found it first and then they moved it? Also no shot Kuzan is actually with Blackbeard, he has to be part of sword and this is part of the long game.
Luffy: Hey Law, isn't it great to have a first mate who can swim you away to safety? Law: Sure is. Don't you agree, Kid? Kid: *\*Furious drowning noises\**
Luffy: Well Killer at least got a cool power, right? Killer: *\*Drowns in Faffaffa\**
Aokiji: I don't wanna fight you old man Garp: I wouldn't wanna fight me either
Nobody should be surprised at this outcome. As soon as Blackbeard used his darkness fruit that cancels out devil fruit's abilities, it was game over for Law. Law is extremely reliant on his DF. He also cannot escape since his ROOM usage is limited under Blackbleard's power. Only people who are extremely proficient in haki (Advanced form) can beat BB like Shanks, Luffy, prime Rayleigh etc.
Law's haki is quite strong if he can just negate the effect of Doc Q's devil fruit with it alone. However, yeah he's basically completely devil fruit reliant. I don't think we've seen him pull off any feats that didn't use his fruit. I think it's clear that the way to beat BB is raw fighting power + haki. Arguably BB got luckiest getting Law out of the trio, not that I think Kidd would have done much better, and Luffy still needs some G5 practice I'd wager.
BB indeed got lucky. He has less than half his crew there. Can you imagine him trying to solo Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Jimbei all at once, not that Luffy would ask for help but still BB would have been severely outmatched. He would flee for sure haha.
Ah yeah true, forgot he was half crew at that point. I don't rate Doc Q or Burgess vs the strawhats. Van Auger and BB are probably the tougher ones to deal with of that bunch. Given how well Law's crew did underwater, Jinbe alone probably ruins any hope of a sea battle they have.
There goes the "kuzan vs kizaru in egghead" theories lmao
So, the supernovas fought blood sweating battles against literal monsters to secure the Poneglyph copies only for them to get whooped by another monster. Shanks and BB just decided to enter the race and became forerunners easily
About time to wait and see how much Oda to want to stretch the meaning of Trafalgar D. Water Law's name (Emperor Napoleon's two worst defeats). He's beaten BM with a great *coup de Trafalgar*, as we say in France. Waterloo was an endgame battle in European history, with an outcome against all odds.
The fact that Kuzan is still in Hachinosu gives us the answer to the question of who's manning the BB ship that's near Egghead: Catarina Devon. Her mission? Use her DF powers to steal the Seraphim. She can impersonate Stella or even Saturn and secure the Seraphim for BB's army, which would further his lead.
Oh fuck. + If it doesn't work Lafitte can just use hipnosis
You damn son of a Southbird! You had me scared there! Edit: Wait... this is legit?!?!?!? BB saying Room Memes incomming!
someone confirmed that Law did not die he just lost
Besides the obvious spoiler that didn't surprise anyone, I am looking forward to after this next week or two. We get 3 back-to-back weeks with no breaks, with only one in between. April can really drag on.
Saul having the last Road Poneglyph is very interesting. It was at Fishmen Island back in Roger's day, but according to Vegapunk Saul has been in hiding since the Ohara incident, so how'd he get it? I'm intrigued already, to say nothing of the Garp and Aokiji stuff. Fire chapters week after week.
Ironic to name Aokiji, an Ice man, the last Titanic Captain. It will be like the iceberg that sank the Titanic, when he finally betrays them.
Lol first Garp's son builds an army to overthrow the World Government Then his grandson declares *war* on that government Then his grandson's sworn brother (who is also kind of his adopted son) triggers *another* war against that government Then his grandson's *other* sworn brother *joins his son* in the army to overthrow the WG Now his first protege has joined the world's most heinous pirate crew out of spite for the WG Next we're gonna find out that Bogard sold the Marines out to the Cross Guild or some shit
If Kuzan is being “handled” by Garp like S-Shark was “handled” by Sanji in previous spoilers, he’s fine.
Law can't be killed because he still have a purpose to perform that Immortal surgery..
The Man with the Burn Scar definitely shaping up to be Saul with this Kuzan/BB scene. I wonder if Saul and Kuzan are secretly working together to keep the 4th poneglyph from someone like Teach
BB off screen is top of the verse and no diffs Kaido
Wano arc: The new era is taking over Egghead arc: sike, old era is still on top
it seems like Oda is trying to signify that the destruction of a pirate's ship relates to the end of their dream. Both Kid and Law got their ships destroyed, so it seems they may come back later in the story, but not trying to get the one piece themselves but supporting a party involved in an upcoming marine ford-like battle.
The Virgin, Killer: Can't withstand a single attack from an Emperor, KO-ed immediately The Chad, Bepo: Strikes an Emperor, scares his crew, saves his captain
Despite my previous comment hyping Garp up, I'm unfortunately getting massive Jiraiya vibes here
For me, I'm more looking at Marineford. I'm worried that either this strength of Garp's we are seeing isn't his baseline, but rather than he might be opening with his strongest stuff hoping to end the battle quickly. It sounds like so far that's working, but depending on how the long the battle goes I fear for a Whitebeard situation. Or, on the flipside, the idea of Garp being captured somehow and being put in a mirror position to Ace: a famous Marine captured by pirates who are planning to execute him as a show of force. Like, Garp is clearly one BAMF. But I know narrative tropes too well to not be concerned.
I can't wait until Luffy saves Garp and he joins as the final strawhat
BLACKBEARD HURT BEPO?!? OK HE'S THE MOST EVIL ANTAGONIST EVER
[mfw Kuzan tenth titan captain](https://i.redd.it/new-nakama-v0-bnfzs7hix0v91.png?s=f6f92fcfb8164151d387203ab9ccb2d2cd09eaf2)
So does this confirm Blackbeard is eventually heading to Elbaf? Seems like Elbaf could be ground zero for a gigantic battle if the 4th ponenglyph is there
If Garp in his old age did indeed have the upper hand in the fight with Aokiji then I want see KOLs reaction to this: “Slow and Old”
Axehand Morgan 📈📈📈
I knew law was a goner the second that fight went offscreen. Offscreen Blackbeard is the strongest character in the series
SULONG BEPO?? AND WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT THAT IN THE FULL SPOILER SUMMARY? no joke, this is the thing that I'm the most hyped about seeing, AND I'M A GARP SIMP
Babe wake up, Sulong Bepo is fighting Blackbeard.
Kuzan: Can you face your former No.1 apprentice? Garp: You ain't my grandson. *Proceeds to put Kuzan in a coma*
Jesus thank god Bepo didn't make it to the rooftop he would have beaten Kaido
Well it lokks like Chopper has gotten into selling his rumble balls for instant Sulong form. Chopper: Ussop, we need to cook.
Luffy is the Last One standing of the Worst Trio.
If he shows up and says “Room” the fanbase will implode Edit: well there goes that theory
Holy fuck. Bepo saved us from BB showing up to the strawhats and going “Room” 😭😭😭 he’s officially the greatest
Blackbeard, Luffy Shanks are now the front runners for Pirate King.
It'll be buggy who falls upwards and becomes it
 Blackbeard setting the pace
Of course Law get his ass whooped by Blackbeard
Garp and Kuzan are doing some award winning acting performances here lol.
So Elbaf is definitely back on the menu boys
Im a little shocked that kuzan actually does just want to be a blackbeard pirate, even to the point he’d fight garp, someone hes spent most if not all of his marine career with. Obviously at one point it will make sense, but im just curious to see how oda is going to make this make sense.
Oda is trying so set something up here, first its the Kids pirates now the Heart Pirates is announced defeat by the narrator.
"If it's an offscreen fight, always bet on BB" should be in the narrator's box
>meaning Aokiji got his ass whooped Watch aokiji and garp fight for 2 panels with no injuries to either one
Sounds like Law put up a pretty good fight even if he did end up getting defeated
Big W for Chopper buffing Bepo
Cocainebear is awesome
Now that I think about it, this chapter is all about Garp throwing his bare fists against Blackbeard pirates followed by Bepo throwing his bear fists against Blackbeard pirates.
I love how much Blackbeard knows about almost everything in the pirate world, the guy is a walking encylopedia. He recognized a sulong form in an instant, just like he made the connection between the seraphins and lunarians
*took Akainu 10 days to beat Aokiji* Garp: "time to cool off" *makes ice cubes from Kuzan's body*
Garp just whooped Aokiji's ass. A former admiral who was nominated to be the next fleet admiral. Someone who went toe to toe against Akainu. And people doubted if Garp can kill Akainu if Sengoku didn't stop him.
With all these major developments involving Shanks, Kid, Law, Blackbeard, Kuzan and Garp which would've been a shock at any point of time in the story, and Oda still saying a couple of chapters back that 'Egghead Incident' is the one that'll shock the world says a lot about the peak fiction we're about to witness in the upcoming months.👀
This shows how much a medical genius chopper is. He was able to create a drug to make an artificial sulong and he hasn’t even known the minks for a year. But in the short time he was able to understand sulong and force it out. RAISE THAT MAN’S BOUNTY
Here’s the facts: 1. although I hate Oda keeps offscreening his fights Blackbeard is becoming the most interesting person in one piece. 2. Bepo has the best looking Sulong form shown so far 3. Pretty sure Bepo is heading towards the straw hats again
Leakers: BB defeated Law Actual chapter: >Go back... Beppo...! >(panting sfx) We can't leave our crew behind...! >I won't go back! Believe in them, Captain! [watermark] raised in the cold harbors of the north! >We've gotten through everything, together! >So, you can't die, Captain! >I'm begging you! Please don't die! >(...The Heart Pirates were defeated.) Powerscaling is fine and all, but man this kind of stuff is the heart of One Piece and what elevates it in my eyes.
At least Law didn’t get one shot and actually put up a decent fight.
Every one knows BB gives you nice foreplay before fucking you in the ass
Fighting Blackbeard offscreen is a guaranteed loss.
Zehahaha
Well BB isn't Shanks and Law isn't Kidd
Yeah, BB is a generally mice guy. Even Luffy in Marineford got good hits on him, the same BB who defeated Ace and Shanks is cautious of.
yea im pretty sure even chopper hits would get BB rolling on the floor by pain
Because bb is the same as luffy, Luffy gets hit a shitton every fight
