Re: Next Shichibukai?

I'm still doubting about Hancock. She can charm everyone, so I think World Government will overlook her situation.

And I think it will be a quick replace with two new characters.

buggy obviously. He will bluff his way to the top.

Re: Next Shichibukai?

kidd will never be because that would mean giving up on his dream. won of the minor supernova however i could see becomeing one. capone, apoo, hawkins or the monk guy forgot his name. bonney judgeing from her reaction to the war won't and neither will drake being an ex marine. law is shown to be like luffy and killer won't because he works for kidd.

no way in hell a whitebeard commander would.

buggy might but i doubt it.

out of old characters the only one i can think of powerful enough to is enel but he would be above working for someone.

Re: Next Shichibukai?

Didn't vote because I am certain Shichibukai will cease to exist. World Government has finally seen that they are pirates after all and cannot be trusted. Who cares that they are one of the great powers to stop Yonkous from attacking the WG - The 3 admirals will just have to work more.

I don't think there will be anymore Shichibukai...
With the Pacificators, they don't need them anymore...

I would even be surprised if Mihawk and Don would remain Shichibukai after all of this...

My impression was that the shichibukai from now on will be needed more than ever though. Overall they actually did a decent job in the war.

1.- Real kuma evidently fought against the pirates and made a difference.

2.- Moria did spectacularly. He trashed oz jr with 1 attack and proceeded to fight Several WB commanders. Just that most likely made a huge difference.

3.- Flamingo did pretty well. He also collaborated in the fight against oz and fought against the commanders. I don't think he ever sided with the pirates.

4.- Mihawk did fight for the marines. Took on commanders, almost killed luffy and broke havoc to his liking. I don't think the marines will have anything against him.

From here things get murkier though.

5.- Boa fought marines and pirates alike at first. She never really sided with anyone other than luffy. That much is not evident though, the marines never really new boa broke luffy into ID nor they knew she gave luffy the key of ace's handcuffs. As far as the marines are concerned, luffy used a sumo move to defeat her. Anyways, with what it has been revealed the marines know, they don't have reasons to hold anything against her.

The cons against the shichibukai are basically crocodile, blackbeard and jimbei. Crocodile was not a shichibukai right now so he can hardly be counted. Jimbei made it clear he was not going to be an asset in this war since before it happened. BB is a serious point off considering he had his own agenda. Basically just 2 out of the 7 current shichibukai were not assets in the war in any way. Considering they are pirates to begin with I don't think things were all that bad, the shichibukai should be expected to be very volatile. Considering the loses that have been undergone in the way by both sides -pirates and marines- I would think the shichibukai will be needed more than ever. The balance of power is gone and the name who kept things in check is also gone -whitebeard-.

There is no way Buggy will become a Shichibukai ; it's not as if he was a strong/shining pirate that had not done anything against the WG at his own initiative.
What he's done in the last two arcs, and the fact he was a Roger's nakama makes it impossible : he has turned from a pirate to a direct enemy of the WG (ID jailbreak, video-den-den mushi affair, saved Jimbei and Luffy's lifes).

It's not what buggy has actually done but rather what the government thinks he did. As far as the WG is concerned, buggy lead the prisoners out of ID, he lead the prisoners against the WG during the war, survived attacks from mihawk along with being a former crewmember of roger and a friend of shanks. As far as the WG is concerned, buggy is nothing but god and has every possible qualification to be a shichibukai. Of course, we as readers would beg to differ but in the end, how can we? Truth is the WG thinks buggy is a massive threat who has merely waited for his chance.

 

[Uriel]

Anyone present on this war wont become a Shichibukai, I think. In the sides of pirates, I mean.

A new character shall be introduced. :O

 

[Gcat88]

IF there is another Shichibukai, it has to be a new character!!! We do not know anyone that would accept an offer from the government to give up pirating and be a Marine dog.

 

[Bugzee]

I'm hoping the next Shichibukai will be a "completely new character" lol. We got introduced to the supernovas not too long ago so I think it would be great if we got new characters on the marine's side as well. An experienced NW pirate would be ideal since the SH's are heading there next. Hopefully, we'll see two new Shichibukai's. Maybe even three, depending on what kind of future Boa has...

 

[Oni Giri]

i think there won't be shichibukai anymore. after seeing their betrayal WG will dismiss them and improved pasifistas will do the job

Yeah, that's a good decision - replace the feared Shichibukai with a group of mindless, weaker-than-the-Shichibukai robots.

Hancock alone is able to destroy dozens of Pacifistas, the other Shichibukai would be able to do the same with ease.

pacifistas are surely weaker than shichibukai but they are loyal and upgradable. and don't forget they are not complete yet

you say hancock destroyed dozens of pacifistas and that is exactly my point. hancock supposed to be an ally. and there is also Blackbeard. he wasn't helpful more than a mere pacifista, was he?

 

[Bugzee]

Well, if the WG want the Pacifista's to completely replace the Shichibukai's then imo they severely need some upgrades. If something (mechanically) goes wrong with PX-zero than the rest of the PX units are useless in my eyes. The real Kuma aka PX-zero lol is the only one who uses the paw paw fruit which I assume is the method in which is used to "transport" the rest of the px's. What happens if PX-Zero is "currently out of order" lol?

I think the Shichibukai will still exist for the time being. Sengoku will probably inforce more spies and whatnot to "look over" their actions/activites.

 

[Oni Giri]

another thing to note; appearently kuma is also mindless and has no free will now. his only difference from other pacifistas is his own devil fruit which i believe can be applied to other pacifistas. so if he can stay as shichibukai, i think other pacifistas can do the job too.

 

[Bugzee]

I think it would be extremely hard for Vegapunk to replicate the paw paw fruit. The nature of Kuma's df ability is extremely difficult to "imitate" compared to Kizaru's light logia imo.

 

[Oni Giri]

well, pacifistas don't have the full power of kizaru's devil fruit. they just fire laser beams.like this only small portion of kuma's power could work if combined with other devil fruit powers.
