Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

So out of curiousity was there much discussion over the towering giant being the 3rd admiral?

I was just wondering because he was in the same row as Aokiji and Kizaru so it would have made sense and he looked foreboding enough to be an admiral, any thoughts?

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

yes some discussion, yet no, not the admiral. we were pretty sure that it's a character named John Giant, a viceadmiral. The other admiral btw. has already been shown and wasn't a giant.

More than pretty sure. I think he was actually the first v-admiral that was shown. And he was shown again when Spandam activated Buster Call, I think. Don't have time to look for the pages now.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

ya john giant is the head of all vice admiral, so hes the next admiral, and probably the strongest vice admiral.

I'm curious as to where you got that - did you get it from a databook or something? I usually don't read those things very often...

Theirs no reason to assume this, all we know is that he's got a lot of power when it comes the Buster Call. In that he can command the VA's to get ready for Buster Call. Saying that he's the head VA isn't known, it's not even known if theirs such a position.

Doesn't hurt that his rank in the databooks was just Vice Admiral.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Has there been any discussion on which Shichibukai will fight with the marines during the battle with Whitebeard? Jimbei is out of the picture for the moment, having decided to fight the marines for an unknown reason. I dont think Boa Hancock will fight the marines, seeing as she is in love with Luffy. As to the other Shichibukai who will stay sided with the marines and who will become Switzerland and who will side with the Witebeard pirates?

I think that Doflamingo, Blackbeard and Moria will fight with the marines in the upcoming battle, because that is just the feeling i get from those characters. based on what he did in the Sabaody arc, I think that Kuma might turn sides or remove himself from the battle completely. I mean he basically helped Luffy and his crew escape being captured by Kizaru and sent to Imple Down. I also think that Mihawk will remove himself from the battle, only after fighting Shanks or Whitebeard. This is what I think will happen, but of course this is all speculation.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

k well i kno i read that somewhere before but here, http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/John_Giant, they say that hes able to command the other vice admiral. it doesnt officialy say that hes the captain or head or wtv, but you can assume that he is. and i dont see why there wouldnt be such a rank in the marine because of theyre is actually a lot of marines. and if hes able to well kind of control the buster call , that means hes higher than the other 5 vice admiral in it. like if each vice admiral of the buster call controls 2 battleships, well hes probably the one thats in charge of it, and makes him higher than any other vive admiral. plus if you havent notice, his uniform is red and gold, and all the other vice admiral have just white uniforms.

and no no no. im pretty sure all the shichibukai will fight with the marines. but i think what might happen is when they do like a big attack to take out someone, theyll take out a couple of marines at the same time. and someones probably gonna tell them to stop but theyll be like i dont give a shit.

and u can read here to, http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Vice_Admiral, it kind of explains what im trying to say.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I'd rather think of that as some kind of on-call duty the VAs have and at that moment it was John Giant handling the situation perhaps because he is the oldest due to the 'giants-get-older-than-normal-people' issue or something.

If the one being responsible for sending out the Buster Call fleet would be ranked higher as those who are sent out then can we assume the same for the previous generation of admirals? I mean Aokiji and Akainu were both in Ohara (as VAs back then) so the remaining admiral was the commanding one which would be Kizaru? a little far fetched.

 

[camil222]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

what??? that makes no sense. maybe kizaru was already an admiral or he was busy doin something else, thats not really relavent. and even if that was the case, whats your point? maybe every admiral has to become the vice admiral captain before becoming admiral and all three admiral obviously didnt get promoted at the same time. and yo i find its sick that theys show the admirals when they were young, as vice admirals and same thing with sengoku, they showed him when he was an admiral. it made me wonder if he had a logia type fruit. i doubt it tho, since hes a legend, he probably has and amazing haki and was actually stronger than the logia type admirals.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Well, if you serve in the marines you will have a rank, but you will also have a position or a post. When the Buster Call came in John Giant was in charge of that post so the other vice admirals on-call would have to follow his orders.

Another example: if you were the same rank as someone who is a garrison commander, you have to obey their orders even though you are the same rank as them... at least when it pertains to the garrison. Unless you want to be called a mutineer.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

Jonh Giant had some command from the HQ, but he wasn't in charge like a Admiral is. Aokiji was as Spandam said (Aokiji hadn't come, but everyone was surprised for it, so...)

Even at the rank, there is still a informal status... it is easy to imagine Smoker or Garp commanding someone of the same rank.

 

[Onomatopoeia]

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

You gave me a link that states John Giant is a VA, not the leader of the VA.

I realize that John Giant is likely the most experienced VA but theirs no reason to assume that he's the strongest because of that, nor is their a reason to assume that he commands all of them.

It's more then likely given the fact that he has been seen at Marine Headquarters twice and was only seen at Mariejoris because he was called their that he is the person who is in charge of Marine Headquarters and because of that has a lot of power over others in the same area. In absence of of the higher ups of course.

John Giant was also the one talking about absotute justice to all the Marine Officers present at the MHQ.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

I think he probably coordinates the movement of marine ships. Maybe he is the head vice admiral, maybe he isn't.

And despite his name, he isn't really giant. Actually, he's just about the size of Whitebeard.
I could be wrong, though. But he diesn't seem that big to me from this perspective:

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

i dont kno why you guys try to say hes not. i mean like its so obvious hes higher than all of the other vice admirals, just look at his suit like its obvious. and in the pictures the guy has at the marine hq, i think thats obvious that hes got more command than the others. i kno his title isnt different than the other vice admiral, but its obvious hes got a more important role than the other ones. k well the only vice admiral that he probably couldnt command is garp. and thats cause garp is a legend and hes like always wiht sengoku. i think sengoku knows that garp is strong and that hes really important in the marine, event tho he sounds so stupid.

Re: One Piece Mega Convo (Spoilers!)

until it is actually shown in the manga that he's the head of all vice-admirals, let's not assume otherwise. for all we know he could be the only vice-admirals who is permanently stationed at Marine HQ, i dunno...

about the height thing, i don't think he's a giant like Oimo,Kaashi, Saul and the others, but is a human affected with giantism to a great extent like Whitebeard

the tallest character we've come across is Oz and he's well over four times the size a giant, then we have the giants of elbaf and saul, then the character who have giantism(WB,John Giant(?),Kuma,Moria,the franky destroyers, etc..then we have the really tall characters like Aokiji, Kizaru, maybe Akainu aswell, Doflamingo, Brook(but he's shorter than Kizaru), etc...then we have the basketball height characters like franky, blueno and the others

Yes, that's right, Doflamingo is enormous!!

I didn't even noticed... but really, that's why Kuma doesn't look that big early.
