Discussion Who is going to get captured?

[nik87]

Fukurokuju's words might very well come true. "Capture one of them, no matter who it is, the torture will reveal us all their plans..."
This scenario is highly likely to happen, someone among the pirate alliance will get captured and tortured. It would explain and show us what happened to Killer and possibly we could see other members of Kidd pirates in torture chambers.

The question, like the title says - Who is going to get captured and tortured?

It could be almost anyone aside from Luffy and those who aren't present in Flower Capital currently. There are few candidates who have the highest chances to get captured and those are the ones that were shown right after Fukurokuju said those words - Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and possibly Law.

Zoro is already injured and with Kyoshiro there it's not an unthinkable scenario that he gets captured. He could possibly handle the torture the best among all candidates but still it would show it's horrors. It might have been foreshadowed even, back in Ebisu town, when people told him he should smile more, he might be fed a Smile fruit... However, he is currently saving Hiyori so it might also not be him.

Usopp getting captured is something likely and theory about his capture already exists. He would be put to a test as a brave man of the seas. We all expect him to spill the beans fast and he even agreed in discussion with Nami but the opposite might happen. He is currently saving O-Toko so it also might not be him.

Sanji is what looks to me the most likely candidate because he isnt saving anyone currently and while Usopp fled the scene with O-Toko it seems like Zoro is fleeing too with Hiyori while Sanji remains in the clash with X-Drake and gets worked up because he called him a Vinsmoke. I expect the torture to trigger whatever modifications that werent triggered when Judge did those experiments on his children.

Another likely candidate could be Law. It seems like he is in a helpless situation considering that Hawkins has life links with his crew and Bepo's location is unknown... I expected him to get captured back then together with Luffy but it's not too late and Hawkins said he would be joining the prison soon. Not sure what to expect from Law's torture...

What do you think?

Voted Usopp. As suggested, would be a test for him. Do agree with what is said about Sanji, and, after leaving the crew, could be a loyalty test.

Zoro seems like he would endure it, and because he seems loyal to a fault, there'd be no tension about him keeping his lips sealed.

 

[Sachsenhesse]

I kinda think it works with a timer also. So that he isnt able to restock his lives instantly without any restrictions. Maybe some guy here is into vodoo and can tell us some special known things, like "on a fullmoon its stronger" or something like this. Right now i would say, that his lifefodder must be near him or atleast in a specific range. (If it is this way, Law could actually beat his radius with a much bigger room, will be exhausted and gets captured because he took the lives of his comrades over his, which weakened himself)

I stand to it.

 

[M3J]

Could be Usopp or Sanji, but neither will reveal anything... at least Sanji won't.

Though I could also see Usopp lying as well but perhaps won't be believed so easily given the crew's reputation for being tough.

Law is a possibility or likelihood though, but he'll also likely stay silent except maybe if his crew is threatened.

 

[TitaniumOxide]

Personally I don't think it will be Usopp. He's like you don't have to ask me twice, I'm outta here!

I would like to think Law or Zoro.

Law because if he is captured, he can use his powers to cure himself...if fed the smile but can he even eat one without dying since it is a DF but artificial? Either way I think he can save himself after if not with the help of Choppaemon.

Now Zoro is the one I think will most likely be captured. It will give us a parallel to Killer. Zoro should also be given a defected smile like Killer. The difference here is Zoro's will doesn't break AND he might even unlock or show us he has some CoC. Like bitch you wanna break me? Dawg you even heard of CoC? So far not a single person with CoC can be broken. Not even when chained up af in Impel Down after going thru many tortures.

After he eats the defected smile he will be even more menacing with his non stop laughter and cutting down EVERYTHING and ANYTHING he encounters. We might see the return of asura...demon zoro laughing like a crazed mofo because he is so fucking pissed. Also, the way Komurasaki explained to him to not be angry at the people for laughing, he is in a unique position to "understand" on a visceral scale after he eats a defected smile. He will also understand killer's motives and that he did what he did to protect his own crew but he was a victim also in the end. Furthermore, Zoro can take torture. And tons of blood loss. No need for me to cite examples, if you need examples...do you even read One Piece?

Thing is, one will be captured. But I think multiple of them will get captured. Good way for Oda to split up the strawhats so they're all over the place again. So, Sanji and Law will get capured too. If Sanji gets captured and all the torture and defective df does is unlock his innate vinsmole enhancements then that would be a great "training" for Sanji lol. I welcome that. Damn in my predictions, Either Sanji or Zoro getting captured will kind of result in powerups for them lol. Hope they get captured.

If I was Fukuroju though, I would ask the oniwabanshan or w/e to capture Nami. I mean with Komurasaki out of the picture in the courtesan district, we will need a replacement and Nami knows how to use her charms to steal what, over 90 million berries from random pirates (Arlong arc)? She can definitely make some money.

In the end though, Choppaemon and Law will probably fix the disease. Damn didn't chopper quickly make an antidote for the gassed victims on Zou?

Pretty much the second Killer was revealed to have been force-fed a SMILE, I've predicted that Zoro will follow the same fate. It'd be the one thing that would align Luffy and Kidd's motivations, and it'd humanize Zoro somewhat to have him show SOME weakness. I don't think he'll break quite like Killer, but he needs to go through some serious shit before I have any respect for him as a character because at this point, he's kinda got the weakest character arc of all the Strawhats. It's basically a flat line from his introduction to now.

 

[M3J]

What do you mean by align Kidd and Luffy's motivations? They both want to bring down Kaidou and Orochi, and for personal reasons now as well. I don't think Zoro would follow the same fate though, he seems way too high level for that. Although, I can see a Straw Hat possibly becoming a victim, which would give Luffy even more motivation and strength to power through and win.

 

[Fox666]

Isn't the effect of a SMILE permanent? I don't think any of the Strawhats would change like that.

 

[TitaniumOxide]

I think Choppaemon and Law can cure the side effects of Smiles. They might even be able to get some expertise from the Germa too since they collabed with Vegapunk. Sanji and Zoro has always been rivals but it would be very nice to see Zoro get helped by Germa tech so that the two can bond somewhat and be more bro with each other yet remain rivals.

 

[Core D. Roy]

Isn't the effect of a SMILE permanent? I don't think any of the Strawhats would change like that.

I seriously doubt Wano will conclude with the residents of Leftover Town permanently disfigured. Law and/or Chopper will figure it out.

 

[hokageji]

i voted someone elsebefore reading through, but I think Usopp would've been a good choice.

He's seen running away with Toki, so he'll be chased. He's also spoken about it to Nami about squeling. I think he makes a good candidate.

It'll be terrifying to see if he is fed with a smile DF.

 

[TylerHawke]

I think it'll be something like this:

We've already seen how Kid reacted to Killers torture. It's possible Bepo is being held captive somewhere & could possibly be fed a smile, this would make it personal with Law as it does with Kid since it involves their crew directly. Another thing is Law could be forced to switch sides in order to protect his crew. Anything that happens to Hawkins will automatically transfer to the dolls, so even if Law used room to cut Hawkins he'd just cut his crew instead. So I think it'll create more tension if Luffy escaped with Kid & Killer but in exchange we temporarily lose Law.

Now I think Usopp will be captured because we saw hos reaction to the minks getting tortured in Zou. Brings up possibly getting captured and spilling the beans. Plus he's currently carrying O-Toko, which was originally Zoro's responsibility, who later handed her off to Sanji to attack the Shogun. So Zoro started this all out brawl because Sanji warned him that they should just escape because of what Yasu did. & now in order for Sanji to fight properly he handed O-Toko off to Usopp who the ninja group are currently chasing.

So I think once Luffy breaks out everyone will somehow regroup at the new meeting place ( as stated by robin ) and everyone will meet but find O-Toko walking by herself and that's when she mentions Usopp getting captured because he tried to buy time for her to escape. I mean it'll be hard for Usopp to snipe/fight back while carrying a child.

So we'll end Act 2 with Luffy being free and brings Kid along with him for an alliance while temporarily losing both Law & Usopp. & it's possible for Usopp to also be fed a smile because of a few reasons:

Luffys reaction when he's reunited with every member of the East blue crew that he hasn't seen for an arc were all bright smiles.

Nami - Chapter 806 ( hasn't seen since they landed on Dressrosa )

Sanji - Chapter 843 ( hasn't seen since Dressrosa or Zou )

Zoro - Chapter 912 ( Hasn't seen since Zou & Whole Cake Island )

Luffy hasn't seen Usopp since Zou & Whole Cake Island, so imagine Luffy breaking out of prison all happy and easy going... then reuniting with his crew only to find out Usopp isn't there.

Plus like most have said the prison is a joke ( mainly because of Luffy plot ) & the crew wasn't worried just like the readers. But if Usopp gets captured it'll actually hit harder because they wouldn't know exactly where to find him and would be really worried. & the main reason he got captured is because Zoro and Sanji starting a fight, when they were the original protectors of O-Toko... and the only way to keep Toko safe was for Usopp to buy time for her to escape.

That's how I think all of Act 2 will end, with all of those reveals.

Luffy & Kid escaping
Law & Usopp getting caught

Killer has been tortured & fed a smile = very personal for Kid

Usopp & Bepo possibly getting tortured and fed a smile = making it very personal for Law & Luffy.

Also we don't know where Hawkins aligns himself because he acts when the Odds are in his favor, according to the cards. So maybe this is a way for Hawkins to talk to Law while not looking suspicious to Kaido's side.

It'll be a good way to try and build real tension because that's been severely lacking this arc

I think it will be Robin for some bondage Sm action.

It's been a while since she wore those black leather/latex clothes

We in Wano now, son. Shibari is the national form of bondage over yonder.

Shibari?

[XXGenesis]

you guys are horrible..I can't imagine any of the SH being fed smile..That would be rlly 6l×÷=×ed Up...as for a member getting captured...Idk, Law seems like he's in s pickle, compared to everybody else.

 

[King Moe]

Looking at situation so far as well conditions. Good chance Zoro and maybe Law could get captured due to them having those they are saving and need to protect being Hiyori and Law's crew. It puts pressure on them and their actions especially Zoro still healing from his fight from Killer/Kamazou and still has 2 swords (But honestly shouldn't matter. He defeated opponents with 1 or 2 swords before).

Oda might get them all out, but wouldn't be surprise on these 1 or 2 of these guy maybe getting captured.
