Discussion Luffy's Chest Scar

[Lord Rayleigh]

Not to mention BB gave shanks that scar even before he had a fruit.... the guy has not even begun to show his true power.

We still have no clue when it was done, it was between the Edd War (27 years ago) and Shanks meeting with Luffy (12 years ago). We only know Shanks was between 12 and 27 years old (he is now 39). That's an old mystery : remember that Oda did well on chapter 0 hidding Shanks'face when he was crying over Roger's death.

So we cannot conclude anything for the moment. Rayleigh told Luffy that he met Shanks taking a fresh start at Sabaody after he gave him his strawhat and lost his arm. Thus Shanks was not a Yonkou when he met Luffy and so when he got that scar. Shanks'strenght was between his apprentice's days and his rivalry with Mihawks. Probably strong enough to explain later Whitebeard that Blackbeard did not injure him by surprise.

But Whitebeard did mentioned that "everyone was surprise when a man like shanks came back from East Blue without his left arm"and so on. Doesn't that mean that Shanks was already/maybe a Yonkou when he met Luffy?

 

[Schabrak]

No he was not, just as Lord Rayleigh wrote. He chilled for a year at Windmill Village before he started his journey to the New World, where he met his old Vice-Captain and told him about Luffy. Losing an arm was obviously an device to create tension, show the hardship of the sea and at the same time tease Shanks real might.

... do you have to be so picky? Wb as the strongest man alive had naturally the upper hand.

I was just kidding around, thought that smiley -> (xD) was enough, but well nvm. But about ur argument, WB's title doesn't mean much in a fight between high tiers. I didn't see Akainu begging.


I hate BB, but I think that Oda created the most perfect villain in all manga history. I could elaborate on this, but that would be offtopic ^^

From what i have seen Akainu can't have given luffy his scar because in the anime he has the scar in episode 224 and luffy didn't fight Akainu until the next saga and that was near the end of that saga (second to last arc)

 

[hoeru]

It was Akainu. Please read the original piece, since the TV anime is censored anyways. Akainu's attack went through Jinbe and still hit Luffy. It's the same scene in which Luffy loses his Strawhat.

 

[Zoronoa Roro]

In anime Akainu gives Luffy scar... He didnt see right
