Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

if BB's DF is 2nd, which DF is 1st? O_o

---

They don't share names, their nicknames are just both about beards.

Whitebeard: Edward Newgate
Blackbeard: Marshall D. Teach

Although Whitebeard doesn't really have a beard but a moustach. Oda should've done his research on english better.
(And, no, it can't be from the past, since even his pirate flag represents his moustach).

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I don't think Japanese HAS separate words for "beard" and "mustache", just "hige", which means "facial hair". Oda just wanted a parallel name for Blackbeard, so, Whitebeard. And since in Japanese, the word for beard can mean mustache too, he gave Whitebeard an AWESOME mustache. The name is Whitebeard, that IS what Oda was thinking. Besides, a beard and a mustache are pretty similar.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

yea, I thought that was the reason too..

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

even if they dont share the same names doesnt meen their not brothers. look at monkey d luffy and portgas d ace. they dont share the same name and theyre brothers. im pretty sure the d says it all. i think people with the middle name or letter d are from the same family cause they all have something in comon. so that would refer to genetics. the only thing im not sure of is jaguar d saul. hes a giant and all the other d are normal humans.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

whitebeard doesn't have a D. in his name..

 

[Akainu]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

actually he has but it would be the same as with Gold --> Gol D. Roger:
Edward Newgate --> Edwar D. Newgate.
but I don't think its like that so basically you are right

 

[Impel Down]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I really hope WB isn't a D. It would be nice if there were some non-D fantastically strong people in the world. Besides, BB's already a D, so it would overcomplicate things if WB was also one.

And why couldn't Dragon have been Monkey D. Ragon?

 

[Imitorar]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Because his name was written as Monkey D. Dragon. Not in romaji though, at least, not that I remember seeing. But still, ask a translator, I'm pretty sure they would tell you that his name was written out as Monkey D. Dragon at the end of chapter 439.

 

[Absolutio]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Same with Whitbeard.
His name was written as Edward Newgate, not Edwar D. Newgate, and I doubt that Oda will mislead the readers, not to mention, overuse the "trick" with Gol D. Roger.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

aokiji might be a d but i hope not. all we know about his name is vice admiral kuzan. And yeah i hope theres some people in one piece that arent d and are powerful. the only one we know for sure is shanks and whitebeard.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

and mihawk, and other lots of strong people.
Anyways, does someone know a link to the OP worldmap? I have something I wanna check out.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

oh... I just wanted to check out a theory I came up with. Might as well state it here.
Well, we all know that the Grand-Line circles itself, so when you reach the end, you actually reach the beginning=reverse mountain. So how comes that no-one reached Raftel yet, from the opposite direction or from the straight direction?
My theory is that Raftel is a sky island. I speculate that from several things.
1. When the strawhats reached the white sea, with their first Gan Fall meeting, Gan Fall wondered how come they didn't reach from the "other" way, which supposes to go through other sky islands first. Later on we learn that the last visitors of skypea were the Gold Roger crew, which is also the only crew that reached Raftel.
So maybe this "other way" and the fact that Roger was in the white sea connects to Raftel? Also it explains how can you get back to reverse mountain at the end of the grandline - through the sky.
What do you guys think?

 

[Imitorar]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I always figured it was because the currents all led another way, not backwards when you go into Reverse Mountain from one of the Blues. You get trapped in it. From Raftel, you have to scale the wall separating it from Reverse Mountain, and then you get to Twin Capes and scale Reverse Mountain or however you get out of the Grand Line the normal way, which is possible, since Krieg and Zeff did it.

 

[Akainu]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

thats an interesting theory, but as imitorar said on reverse mountain there are 5 rivers , 4 coming from the blues and 1 leading to Grandline.
so even if you reach the end you won't automatically start again.
BUT: if there were a sky island and you could drop down on reverse mountain or one of the blues again that would solve the problem, because I don't think there is something like a "normal way" out of Grandline except the calm belts.

 

[camil222]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

its a very good theory but i dont think its an island in the sky. i just think its hard to reach because of all the currents and maybe the island is special and makes it hard to reach. its probably filled with tornadoes and typhoons and all kind of things. plus it might be so far away from the previous island that most of the people died. Anyway i know oda is preparing something good for us

 

[eroticmaster]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

yezz a very interresting theory...

But what do you guys think of Backbeard being rodgers son and whitebeard is rogers brother?
Whitebeard was afterall rodgers equal.

But I do have another theroy to. It might not be right because of that the latest arc is at its very ending but I think that Perona and company might have a devils fruit. If you all remember that Perona said that she would give them something if they defead Moria.

 

[Akainu]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

the relationship theories will stay what they are: theories. at least until we get some family background news from oda, which I feel will be some time soon (well as soon as luffy meets his dad).

and could you please tell me where you read tthat they will give sth. to the SH? 'cause I really don't remember.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

If theyre would be a snipping competition who do you think would win between usopp, yasopp and van augger?

 

[eroticmaster]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Van Auger, because of his mad sniping skills and his sniper-eye
