One Piece Discussion & Long Time Prediction Thread

[scyter]

I know that this is a long shot but listen to this theory, now that Sengoku took the same position as Garp(http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-594/page003.html) I think that he too will train Coby and Helmeppo.

thats been said before but yea.....i think during the skip garp and sengoku, will train some young marines including helmelppo and koby.

i dont know what will happen but im sure the strawhats will not stay on SA 2 long. i think they will head to FI soon. i think a major arc will happen there. outside of that i dont i have no clue

 

[Skyrius]

I am SO pulling for an EPIC admiral Coby. I don't care when. I could be in the godamn epilogue for all I care. I just want to see him and Luffy duke it out as Pirate King and Admiral. Man. *daydreams*

Erp. Anyways, back on track. This is a far fling, and I mean probably much further in the manga prediction. However, I can't help but think.

Up until Shabondy, most of the arcs were self contained, with their own central plot and main villain. It's been one of the reasons One Piece hasn't REALLY had an overarching main antagonist (until recently. There's still debates about Blackbeard though). It's also managed to elude an overarching storyline, besides Luffy's desire to become Pirate King.

It wasn't until Robin's flashback that we got a look at the history of the world One Piece is in, and now recently the new revelations about the nature of what One Piece is, and the person who will "meet Roger" to inherit his will.

So I can't help but think that the recent war, Shabondy, Impel Down, all of this is the "real" kickoff to something that's going to bring the entire One Piece world into turmoil. I can't really say I have a firm theory about what it is. But I get the feeling that, rather one by in separate story arcs like what's been happening so far, the Revolutionaries, the Straw Hats, and the World Government, the Blank Century, Blackbeard, the Yonkous, and everything else. I just get the feeling somewhere there's going to be some giant revelation and event that just drags EVERYONE into some sort of chaotic explosion.

And. it. will. be. awesome.

EDIT: Ugh, this is proof I've been deprived of One Piece for too long. My brain is starting to think of more and more ridiculously convoluted subjects. >_<

 

[PageUpgrade92]

I think the first character oda will show will be Strawhat luffy....he's the protagonist..duh

As to what he'll be doing? Here's my random guess: He'll start again as in the first chapter of one piece and also when right after Thriller arc......He One Hit KO's some random monster......

@Freuk about SH crushing slave market....proly but then again proly not

I think it would be more along the lines of Luffy going whitebeard....He says

"ANYONE ATTACKING THIS LAND IS MESSIN WITH ME!" and kinda protects the people you know....

 

[zerocooldx]

Now about what will happen in SA, i'm quite fond of the "SH-will-crush-the-slave-market" theory.

Marineford is a hop skip and a jump away from SA. Meaning that when the SH's go to get the Sunny they are going to have to do it covertly. The last thing they need is to draw attention to themselves before they are out of an Admirals reach. They will be strong after their training, but not quite take on an Admiral strong.

I totally agree that the SH won't be strong enough to handle an Admiral after training.. While MHQ is near SA the marines wouldn't (IMO) send one of the admirals. Kizaru only came because a Tenryuubito was harmed.. If the Admirals have time like that.. wouldn't they chase people like BB or the Yonkou, or the SN...?

I don't think the SH will romp through SA and have a cup of tea on the way... But do personally suspect a challenge more like Kuma or a Shichi.

 

[vagabond87]

I hope that Zoro and Luffy next time when they see Sentomaru will own him together in an instant.. Maby they cant take out Admiral but after two years of training Luffy will be strong enough to take out PX-0 after some long, good fight.

I have a feeling I remember a theroy about the will of D and the dragons could it be that at the end of the manga, there will be a fight to end fights I mean that the dragons because the scam that they are and the will of d is put into the goverment. This will be done by luffy finding the truth of the world and luffy being luffy will make things right.

 

[llamapie]

Re: One Piece: The New World

I predict:
Fleet Admiral Akainu. Sure Aokiji was recommended, but given the Gorousei's view on things, Akainu's the truly effective marine. The marines will have been transformed into a cold-blooded ruthlessly efficient pirate killing organization under his leadership.
Vice-Admiral Coby.
(Admiral Smoker?)

Nah its too fast for them. AT most I would say Smoker is a Rear Admiral and Coby is a captain level after this time skip.

That is one of the coolest things about Luffy. If you piss him off he will rock your face. I'm hoping this aspect doesn't change about him post time skip.

 

[Ero-Sanji]

Arrival at FI, its in a state of war. Pirates on the one side, Jimbei and some fishmen on the other. Quick reunion and then the SH proceed to kick pirate but. Afterwards they put up the Straw Hat flag. Putting the island under Luffy's protection. Then it's off to the New World. Jimbei joins the crew.

Since the first time I heard that the Island was under the protection of WB I knew or at least predicted that it might be under the SH's sometime after WB's death.

Though I think that it will be occupied rather than in a war.

The four latest members to join have all been on an own side rather than on the enemie's or Luffy's, so I think this one will also be quite against Luffy like Franky but unlike the four latest she(hopefully) will surely be a pest and sabotage for the group.

But slowly she will recognize him as a good person and then at the very end she will help the crew. As for Jinbei he will be the de facto protector of the Island while the SH's will be the spoken ones.

I wonder though what fish she would be?

Since we've got a month to kill:

Fishman Island prediction: Jimbei v Luffy.

A lot can change in two years, and will Jimbei really be the same man after 2 more years of no WB protection and marines chasing pirates through FI, wrecking the place again?

I could go so far as to say that MHQ/WG will strike a new deal with Jimbei for protection in order to completely block the FI entrance to the New World for pirates. It's not impossible to imagine, and Jimbei appears to be the type that could quite easily be manouvred into an unfavourable position where he had to strike a deal with WG which reinstates his Shichibukai status and causes him to fight against Luffy.

Now that's a sort of long term prediction unlike all this "Post timeskip, the Strawhat's are going to 1HKO everything and the story will be over in 15 chapters because there's nothing left on their level."

Short term prediction: They'll leave Shabondy without much happening. We've had enough excitement on that island.

 

[Geez]

In this page Moria talks about an old country of brigands.
Since we didn't see it in the first half of the manga, I think we'll see it in the New World. Maybe this is where most of the wanted criminals went after impel down.

That's most interesting and I can actually see it occurring later on in OP. Oars' history and origins will most definitely be revealed soon; it's a must imho! As for the level 6 prisoners...surely some of them may reunite or form new pirate crews...one or two may have had some relationship/connection to a Yonkou.

The country Moria was referring too seems to be the real deal in the NW. Who knows what kind of freakish/twisted characters live there lol hahaha.

Coby managed to do a lot of growing in a short amount of time, but I think you're seriously overestimating him. He got taken down with a single punch. He didn't even get one attack in. We haven't seen a fight where he didn't get his ass handed to him, and according to Rayleigh, there's only so much you can train it in two years. He'll get stronger, but not to that level.

I don't think he'll ever be as strong as Luffy. I see Smoker as more of a Garp-role to Luffy's Roger-role.

I could see more of a jinbei's son/daughter ending up being added to the strawhat crew once they get to fishman island. I think that even if pressure is applied to jinbei, his ideals are stronger, heck he refused to fight even if it meant his death with the whole ace/whitebeard issue. The more I think about a new member of the strawhats, I think it would not be jimbei himself, but either a former member of his crew or his son/daughter. This way there is still the attachment of jimbei without having to have a former Shichibukai in SH crew.

 

[Skyrius]

I can't see Luffy fighting Jinbei, even if Jinbei himself is in a position where he feels the need to fight Luffy, which I doubt as well. Luffy just isn't the type of person to fight someone who helped him, no matter what. Especially since Jinbei tried to help him save Ace.

That being said, I think that 2 years is enough to degenerate Fishman Island back into a warzone, so I can definitely see an arc focusing on a way to resolve that. While most people seem to think that Luffy will do something similar to Whitebeard and declare the island under his protection. However, I have a hard time seeing how that would work since, despite all the infamy he's racketed up recently, he's still considered a "rookie", someone who hasn't even experience the horrors of the New World. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't have the exposure or reputation that Whitebeard had. For example, one of the Yonkou declaring an island under their protection would draw attention and most likely deter most attackers (any of the Yonkou really) and the islands allied with the World Government retain that protection. That being said, Whitebeard was the "strongest man in the world". Luffy's not going to achieve that level of power in two years, otherwise...we wouldn't have much of a manga, would we?

So I think there has to be some other sort of resolution to the situation for Fishman Island. Possible FI might even become the way Luffy gains exposure to the rest of the world, by resolving some way of keeping it protected.

I think that luffy is going to make a stink at FI and SA because luffy like to be free if someone is a slave Luffy will butt heads. I think that luffy could handle a admiral but it does depend on the admiral in question. This will boost his bountry of the straw hats.

 

[Junaid_Sennin]

On the shonen jump website it says that, starting this issue, there'll be a special One Piece project,

"Special project of ONE PIECE started!! ONE PIECE grand countdown start !!"

(http://www.shonenjump.com/e/weeklyshonenjump/index.html)

It says it'll be in next week's jump too. Anyone know what it is?

 

[Lord Rayleigh]

Luffy saying Fishman Island is his territory does not make any sense since Luffy is going to travel in the New World. He wouldn't come back to Fishman Island if someone was to attack it despite his warning. It also would take time to come if he was to punish people. And without Eternal Pose, it's not possible since the Log Pose always points to the next island. Not to say that Luffy is far from being ready to present people with an ultimatum, like Shanks did at Marineford.

 

[Skyrius]

Ahaha, so SJ really is doing all these drawings and giveaways to boost the sales for these weeks XD I can imagine there are some people who'd just stop buying the magazine these 4 weeks and start up again when OP restarts. That's both somewhat sad and hilarious at the same time.
