[hokageji]

He isn't. Bullet was a normal young man, he would stand out from the rest.

Also, didn't Oden joined in the last 1 year of the journey? If I'm not mistaken, Bullet left the crew before.

I wasn't aware... as long as he isnt canonized i am good... These power levels get heavily disrupted if Movie characters are brought to main storyline....

Not really, the characters can be canon, just not the movie they appeared in. But, besides Shiki, I'm pretty sure none of the other movie antagonists are canon.

Well i wouldn't mind Shiki, he acted like the main antagonist of 365.5 which makes him more canon than others. If he is introduced in a manner that we can ignore his power levels, it seems OK. not otherwise.

Well, Shiki is canon, he was mentioned and sortav shown in the manga, just the movie Strong World is most likely not.

Yea, i mean't chapter 565.5, not 365....

He's also mentioned when they are talking about the Rocks pirates recently. So he's definitely canon. I'd just ignore movie power levels and stories, none of those are canon.

 

[Fox666]

Movies power levels aren't different from Luffy defeating Crocodile.

SBS 96 translatere HERE by Artur. The part about Shimotsuki Kozaburo is elaborated better.

WHY Oda WHY

new SBS info. {unconfirmed} better to wait for better translations

• Wano arc is not the biggest War
• Luffy's adventure to be Pirate King will end within 5 years (implied he might not be the Pirate King)
• The final battle will be after One Piece is found (this war will be the biggest war in One Piece history)

This might imply that Luffy might give up One Piece to join the final war or that after he is PK he might start the final war.
The biggest take in this is that One Piece manga will not end 5 years

As far as the wano war, we have known that since... forever. The wano war is a pretty huge conflict but the implication since WB died is that the manga is heading towards a conflict which dwarfs marineford. This one in turn is at best comparable to marineford.

That second one sounds like a stretch. If luffy makes it to laugh tale he will basically be PK... Him going to war after finding OP makes sense IMO.

 

[goldb]

The final war might be as a result of the information the crew find once they reach Laugh Tale and not necessarily because the WG is trying to stop them from doing so. It's not a stretch, I'm sure I've seen that theorised somewhere before too.

Luffy not being Pirate King would be insulting after all of this time.

 

[kkck]

Maybe laugh tale actually reveals Im's identity? As in, there is a treasure there and all but perhaps the most important reveal will be that there is a king that helms the world government, which is a huge betrayal to every member nation.

One bit that has seemed odd to me at times is that roger was basically made PK by the world government. As in, it was them after roger found laugh tale that made roger into PK. Which makes it rather weird that this would be a goal for other pirates. Roger just went around kicking ass, he didn't seem to have armies and nations at his disposal. I get the impression that the actual significance of being pirate king is not yet known to us. And of course, it'd be kinda dumb if luffy's endgame was to simply be called PK by the government.

 

[thedude]

I laugh at Oda's "5 years". Wano started in 2018, it won't end until 2021 at least. Unless the very next arc is them going to laugh tale and moving into the final arc, no chance. Oda is notorious for getting these wrong. "Wano will start in 2017".

As long as he doesn't rush anything, I'll be happy. He isn't being forced to end it early like Bleach was.

I think the Pirate King thing is unimportant. Luffy's goal, while stated as "King of the Pirates" has more to do with going to Laugh Tale and finding One Piece. If the WG doesn't acknowledge him, he won't care. And of course, he's going to finish what Roger couldn't because he was too early. So they can call him whatever they want, he'll find One Piece, and then defeat the WG/Im, and change the world in ways no one else has, in a battle that will dwarf Marineford.

I still think 5 years is off, he'll probably end up a year or 2 higher just how he writes. But not shocked. The time skip happened August 30, 2010. Chapter 1 was 1997, so that's 13 years. If this ends in 5 years, the second half will have been 16 years (I'm discounting the rest of the year).

And then, I don't see how many more arcs there even can be. He's given up on the "romance" arcs like Skypeia. So it's all plot since they ignored the log pose and went to Punk Hazard. He'll beat 2 Yonko here (or 1, with the other taken out some other way). He's not having an arc to defeat Shanks, it's just BB and the WG after this. Maybe a small stop at Elbaf? It's obviously on the home stretch, lets all just hope he nails the landing. Or comes close, unlike so many others recently.

The last one standing of the big 3. 3rd ending lucky we hope.

Oda passes the writing on to Kishimoto for the last arc:

"Oh, Joyboy's ghost...you want to give me all those powers right now so I can defeat the true enemy, one never talked about in the manga until this point? Great!"
