I’m not a big marine dude, but I still disagree. Their small losing streak (which really isn’t that bad, tell me what major asset they lost since TS?) is likely a build up to a retaliation. I’m having a hard time believing the faction that killed WB and defeated his crew is just going disappear.
And CP0 is not the the navy! Doesn’t count
It's momentum, hype etc. It's literally in the gutter.
Which are their major Ls?
- unable to capture a single Shichibukai
- getting clowned by Sabo and co
- an admiral shitting his pants at Shanks' conqueror's haki
- more admiral Ls in the film red (maybe not fully canon, but contributes)
Point was, even with CP0 there, Sabo and his clowns escaped 2 admirals + Kong lmao. That just makes it worse.
The nonsense would be if Koby beat Hancock. Dude was straight garbage only two years ago. He can't magically become as strong as someone like Hancock lol. He's not the MC unfortunately.
Dude has been shown to have insane growth rate.
Went from being fodder to kid Luffy (yea 8 year old Luffy hanging with Ace would no diff BoS Coby), to learning roukushiki techniques within months.
What is even the point of hyping up this dude, hype up his dream of becoming an admiral etc. If all he does is take non stop Ls
Smoker, Koby and Drake are collecting L's but it's OK I guess (well not entirely ok for Smoker and Drake but still). I really think they are fated to be the new face of the marine after WG falls.
They will be the new generation that protects people.
New face of marines should be a bunch of fodder and L lords? lmao ok
I don't understand why you want another Garp-Roger dynamic. When the OP is revealed, there won't be pirates as we know. So why Luffy would need to be chased?
I don't want any such dynamics, that is something you just assumed. I want "marine protagonists" to not be completely useless fodders.
