One Piece 696 Discussion / 697 Predictions

[EMS]

Before luffy and shanks fight start, luffy will have to. Cut one of his arm to be a fair fight.

[M3J]

Doubt it, considering Shanks was still feared even among the Marine. Blackbeard and Sengoku backed off and didn't even try to attack Shanks.

I think the translation to this manga isn't accurate. Luffy doesn't want to fight shanks if you noticed he is only holding 3 fingers up not four

I've just read the raw and it is clearly "as long as it isn't Shanks, that's fine.." But then right after says "But I'm going to beat them all myself"
IMO the one finger down was signifying Kaidou..... Luffy will face all 4 Yonkou for sure...

BB is definitely a Younko.[/B] If it's a new term you're looking for, let's see... "Younko" basically means Four Emperors. So if supposedly BB wasn't one, and there were only 3, the new term would simply be Three Emperors.

* Yonko not Younko

To add something to discussion- I liked how Smoker acknowledged that Law could have killed him in many occasions. For me it somehow shows that Law, Luffy, Kidd and maybe some of the supernovas have strenght on "level" between Vice Admiral and Admiral. I like how it sounds. If we have Monstre Trio in Strawhats Crew the we can say that only they make this crew really dangerous. Its not like those crews in new world have many monsters like Luffy, Zoro or Sanji. I know it might be too much but I do think that Law would beat Vergo no matter how Doflamingo marine mole would take that fight- serious or not he would be down sooner or later. So for me this makes Luffy more dangerous than Vergo, Zoro and Sanji- lets say they are equall to Vergo(cant wait for Sanji vs Vergo rematch).
So If we say that crew has 3 Vergos on deck + mecha pirate + amazing sniper + someone who can control weather + guy that controls big crowds + doctor with not known extent of powers who can turn into monster with strenght to literally "throw mountains"(at least tip of one ) + Robin( Im to lazy to go into further details lol ).
Thats crew that has to be acknowledged even by Emperors.
I fell like I didnt get enough of action during Punk Hazard, well I seen some scenes but there was only very few that had big impact so lets all hope that with messing with everyone strawhats will be pushed far in fights soon. Maybe in few chapters. Doflamingo wont kill anyone I think, he will just show us that there are people in New World that are deadly dangerous no matter how long you train. I do hope that it will bring back some tension from before time skip, tension that I someghow start to miss, for me its only thing that One Piece after time skip lacks at least for now.

I wonder what will happen of Smoker goal after that. His aim was to arrest Luffy, but instead he was saved by him for the second time. Also, he was not able to defeat either Law or Vergo so can he still ambition to beat Luffy ?

Am i the only one who thinks it's hawk eyes mihawk. The mystery man, if you see the picture it looks like he's carrying his big sword on his back. and he was sailing alone first time we saw him on a small boat. similar to this. and he's also laid back so it could be him.

[suraj5898]

Still i didn't expect to see another Yonkou involved so fast when we just got to see Big Mom . But i can't deny that with this move Oda made me curious to see that guy . As for Kaidou working with DoFlamingo , why not ? IMO i think he's involved with all Yonkous . Even if he's Shicibukai , he's firstly a pirate meaning he wouldn't think twice about kicking aside this farce of Shicibukai = "good pirates that work for the WG "

Shicibukai = 7 most powerful pirate with Get out of Jail free card
WG didnt care if they r good or bad

I'm interested in seeing shanks crew vs luffys crew. He would probably be the last out of the four (after Blackbeard imo) I think luffy's last battle for pirate king should be against shanks. Also usopp's dad belongs to shanks crew. Interested in seeing how that plays out.

My trolling sensor is off the charts, never thought I'd see this here

Eh well let's forget about this trolling a bit and focus more on the thread before Uriel snaps and delete pages and pages of this topic
As for Shanks, daily reminder that Luffy doesn't want to face him first, Mangapanda's translation is wrong

Damn, now I wonder how Oda is gonna pull this... BM receiving the Tamatebako and possibly opening it, and then Kaido being the Yonko that makes deals with Dofla (still I believe that BM too strikes business deals with him too)

This is gonna be intense

I think that this page
http://mangarulereader.hostoi.com/MA...garule#page=17 hints towards Kidd, Hawkins and Apoo starting fight with Big Mom, it looks like Killer is mastermind of this alliance, he came up with idea to take down one of emperors with alliance of four Supernova and their crews. Sooo with Kidd destroying 2 of Big Mom ships as Tamago said at the end of Fishman Island arc, so with it maybe plan was started? Like attacking those 2 ships might have been first step to weaken Big Mom in a way?

I sure hope we wont get now arc like Whitebeard War arc. I want to see some long full fights not many fights at one time with few panels of each fight in each chapter.

Lol it's gonna be a rookie vs yonko war

[Zehahaha]

Yeah that's how it seems, although it looks like Shanks/BB won't be targeted anytime soon, but we can expect at least 3 big shots to fall : Kaido, BM, Doflamingo, that would definitely throw the NW into complete chaos

Well, it may also be possible that Law is allied with Drake too, I don't think the guy wouldn't take part into this mess either

[k-dom]

Another thing about the rookies alliance I'm curious about is the one that was hinted by a broker when CC was defeated. A first thought was that it refered to Kid, but their alliance with the other supernova seems as new as Luffy and Law one so maybe it's a yet to be revealed group. But that would be funny that Luffy and co are once again wrongly accused.
If it really refers to Kid then it could also increase confusion since they target 2 different yonkous.
Anyway these 2 big powers are probably going to fall simultaneously.

It seems to me that drakes gonna be allied with luffy and law. Remember when they teamed up before the time skip? That kinda foreshadows that they will team up.

My prediction is that after they take over the 2 targeted yonkos, their gonna go separate ways and eventually battle.

you are wrong: it's kid the one who teamed up with law and rufy at the auction house, drake intervened against a PX to help hawkins and urouge,and then apoo joined too. yet,it's strange that apoo is allying with kidd,as they were fighting when they first appeared in vol.51...
