The Three Great Powers!!!

[Absolutio]

the shichibukai does work for the WG. They're given the authorization of the wg to attack other pirates, and give some of their treasures to the WG as well..

 

[Impel Down]

Yeah, the WG controls the Shichibukai, but they Shichibukai isn't the WG itself. That would be something like the CP9.

 

[Phenomenol]

The World Government hasn't shown any type of control over the Shichibukai, hence the reasons why no Shichibukai came to the meeting when they were summoned. The three members that did show up was for other reasons.

 

[Impel Down]

But the WG still hold control over them, and they do have to give 1/10 of their loot to the WG.

hey I have a question: in those chapters after cp9 arc, there was a tattood guy who was quite interested in luffy when they all knew about the new bounties...

who is that guy? and what is he up to?

 

[Impel Down]

That was Dragon, revealed to be Luffy's father and the leader of the Revolutionaries.

Damned so many stories I forget sometimes big issues: and those revolutionaries are they with some of the three great powers, or do they act alone trying to reach a different goal from the other three

 

[Impel Down]

The Revolutionaries are too mysterious to be a great power. They're just trying to destroy the WG.

 

[Absolutio]

the yonkou and shichibukai are mysterious too (for us). the revolutionaries are out of the three great powers equations. they are an outside force that tries to destroy the wg.

 

[Impel Down]

They aren't that mysterious. We know lots about the Shichibukai, and some about the Yonkou, but we really don't know $h!t about the Revolution.

 

[Phenomenol]

The Three Great powers hold a balance and that means the powers are equal.

 

[OP_overlord]

koenosaki- i think that the Rev's are part of the balencing powers and thus there are four great powers
bring on the complaints with my thinking

 

[Phenomenol]

Well we know that Red-Haired Shanks (Emperor) was a rival to "Hawkeye's" Mihawk (Shichibukai), Blackbeard (soon to be Shichibukai) injured Red-Haired Shanks face and we just found out recently that Gekko Moria fought and lost to "Kaidou (Supposedly an Emperor)" because Moria claims that he did NOT have Oz!!!

It seems that some Emperors and Shichibukai are aquainted with each other, thus this is where we see the balance fall in place with all three powers.

 

[Impel Down]

Well, we don't know if Moria had any of his zombies when he fought Kaidoh. He could have just fought him as his regular self. BTW, I think Kaidoh is the skinnier of the two unknown Yonkou.

The reason the WG considers the revolutionaries such a huge threat is because they seek to destroy the current 3 power balance .. and in doing soo destroy the WG.
I think Dragon saw luffy's potential and his future ablity and that is why he was soo pleased that luffy was going to become a pirate.

 

[mugen]

actually I think Dragon was just happy to see his on rebel against the WG
and seems like the balance will be once again disrupted if Moria gets beat
meaning perhaps another Shanks appearance

 

[Anti-panda]

ohh I think after this manga arc we can expect some tiding up with the whole ... whitebeard and shanks situation. Maybe even some of the BB and ace situation if we're lucky.

The incident BB created by battling ace... I'm interested to see what that is..
I bet it's either

1. a war among the yonkou.. shanks vs whitebeard.

2. or even more likely a war between the world govt. and whitebeard.

 

[mugen]

it will be so much cooler if Shanks just ends Whitebeards era
meaning Ace is gonna lead his own crew
but then gain...
I wonder even if Ace were to beat BB...
doesn't he still have to deal with the other BB pirates?

Is there anything mentioned of the yonkou and their position towards the revs?

 

[Anti-panda]

I don't know about the rev's and the yonkou .. however since the rev's main goal seems to be to overthrow the world govt and pirates obviously have no love for the Govt. I don't see where there'd be a problem.
Unless the revolutionaries do something that directly effects the yonkou .. I don't think they care. The yonkou aren't govt appointed or designated they are simply the 4 strongest pirate crews .. that pretty much run the new world. So they exsist with or without the world govt.
