Where They Are & Why Kuma Threw Them There

[toxun]

Hmm till chap 520 we have no clue what happened to Luffy nakama. I know it will be revealed later, but for now I like to know what is your opinions. As you know they've been thrown away from Shabondy Island to unknown direction to them. We only learned that Luffy landed on Kuja island within southern Calm Belt. The reason why Kuma send Luffy there still unknown. There're a number of opinion about it already but it all scattered all over. My purpose opening this thread is to assemble that in one place . My first impression of Kuma act is to show him the border that he can cross. He put Luffy there to create jeopardy in Kuja. Or maybe make Boa get honor from WG for Luffy riddance because She is too selfish. But I putting aside for to make Luffy beat Hancock because it really against the wish of WG.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

in my opinion,kuma would be a spy for revolutionary amry, so he resist the order from world goverment in thriller bark.in additional. he looks like have a special relationship with luffy's dad. i guess he throwed the straws feignedly for pretecting them not be killed. maybe they are just staying nearby the island they just arrived in.

I think one of the strawhats will meet perona at some point.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

Someone raised an interesting point before. Maybe Hancock and the Gorgon sisters were slaves under the Tenryubito, and Kuma freed them. Their slave marks are still there, and that is what Luffy recognizes. Kuma opposes the Tenryubito and after he sees Luffy defying them in such an obvious manner, he decides to send him to Hancock. He may also have felt Luffy's haki, which may have prompted him to send him to learn from her.

This may be the start of the toppling of the WG. The Tenryubito are symbols of the WG, symbolsing the injustice and tyranny of the WG. Open defiance of the Tenryubito may lead to other people starting revolution against the WG. This may be Kuma's plan.

@Paradoxe

That's a great theory! I didn't think about that. But was it shown that the slaves carried some kind of an specific mark? I can't remember that.

@ Topic
It's very hard to say. Mostly likely some places we don't know by name. By name only ones I can come up with are Elbaf for Usopp, and locations with people we now (Dragon, Garp). But can't be sure wheter or not Kuma controls where they land, but I'm sure that his intention was to help SH.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

@paradoxe: why would they hide the mark? the amazons on the island dont know about the tenryubito nor the mark.

but yeah i guess kuma being defiant against the WG could be very true. whatever the reason, it must be simple and short, he only said one or two sentence to raileigh and he understood.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

A few questions I've asked myself

> Did all of them end up on different places? Or will there be some characters who ended up on the same Island?

> How is Oda going to let this story unfold?
1. By focusing on Luffy as he travels to gather up his nakama one by one.
2. Telling the stories of the crew members separately, and they all reunite at the same time in one place
3. Splitting up the job of "finding & reuniting" between two or three characters. Maybe after Luffy is done with Kuja, he'll find one or two nakama. And then we'll move on to another character like Zoro/Sanji/Robin who also proceed to find their nakama

> What wacky places will the crew end up in? So far we've seen an Island filled with warrior women. And judging by the past places the crew have been to, there is no doubt Oda will continue to surprise me with his creativity. Maybe Usopp will end up in the Island of Giants?

> What past characters will they run into? How about a little bit more of Smoker-san. And while we're at it, maybe one crew member could find out more about Dragon. Heck, let's even have someone help save Ace.

> Will there be any new crew members found along the way?

Anyway, enough questions. I'm hoping that more about the other Supernova's will be revealed. Zoro and Bonnie have some chemistry already.

Don't know how long this arc will last, but I'm looking forward to it. And to think, I thought they were heading straight for the Mermaid Island after the CP9 arc.

Since the only way to reuinite is using the vivri card, so it they will meet in three separately groups. =P

Being an ex slave is rather humiliating for someone of Hancock's pride and power, don't you think?

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

but its not like anyone on the island will ever notice that hte mark is the symbol of slavery

 

[toxun]

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

But if only simple mark such ass tattoo, why didn't they erase them? I'm also didn't buy any chances that anybody except elder such as Nyon know such mark.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

About the rest of the SHs, I believe they were sent to Disney Land.

About hancock and her sisters back, I believe it is sth new, which we have not seen in the series. Im expecting it to be sth which Luffy saw before the start of the series. Its similar to Duval, at that time there were also some crazy theories out there. In the end it was sth new and unseen for us.

About Hancock being a former slave, I don't thin that is true. 1. Hancock is a Shichi, so a dog of the WG and damn strong. 2. There is no need to cover "possible" marks from her slave time, since no-one in the village could recognize that.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

But even the Kuja pirate's would recognise the symbol of a fellow Shichibukai (i.e. Doflamingo). I don't think she was a slave either, I'm just saying that though the Kuja non-pirates are very unaware about the outside world, the pirates are and they still have little-to-no idea about the symbol. That said, I'd imagine it will be something even the most childish Kuja could recognise.

On topic though: I'm assuming they were each thrown to a different location, selected (for some reason) personally by Kuma. Typically Kuma asks a person where they would like to go, but for this battle he simply sent them without warning. To this end, I think they're travels will coincide with his own agenda and thus no-one's journey will be unimportant.

I mean, everyone wants to see Ussop come out of a country praised as a hero for defeating a giant goldfish which was threatening Kuma's supply of bibles....surely?

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

Nah he did ask Zoro..if Iremember correctly.

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

jus putting this out there, do you think there's any chance that Garp got Kuma to get the SHs outta there? I know he said he was gonna deal with it, maybe this was his way of dealing with it, without the Marines and WG thinking he's a traitor or something...

 

[Fox666]

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

It's open for possibilities. Coming with garp is one.

Other than that, maybe what Kuma made is not benefic to Straw Hats as it looks like? He could have send them out to Rayleigh don't worry because he is offering Rayleigh the position of Shichibukai? The WG could be planning to make Teach take the position of Edward and them the Shichibukai post is open again.
Why would Rayleigh ask if Kuma is serious? Simply because he is Roger first make, the last thing he wants is to hunt pirates of Roger era. =P

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

If Kuma purpose for aiding Luffy, he did well with cooling his heat & find him an ally

 

[shuga]

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

well, i think what's gonna happen is they all have separate journeys and grow stronger with Zoro and Sanji learning to control some form of Haki, maybe not Sanji, but definitely Zoro, and then they all meet up with the virve card some where.

 

[chihoho]

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

So SH crew are sent to different corners of shabondy island ( the pic remind of the dragonballz were also flown to different parts). Kuma sent them on possible hostile island for the purpose of getting them stronger and not become a threat for the upcoming war.

possible destination:
Luffy
Destination: Island of lily
reason: finding out more about haki and news about his brother.

Zorro
Destination: somewhere he can rest and mediate his mind before finding his way back.

Nami
Destination: get's a new weapon, because the other one brock

sanji
destination: somewhere stuck on a island, where only man live

usopp
destination: get a new weapon and cry about the fact that hey lost his nakama.

Chopper
destination: on island where monster lives.

Robin
Destination: Back on ohara,

Franky
Destination: on a scrapyard

Brooke
Destination: by the whale

Re: Where are there & Why they're there thrown by Kuma

We cannot forget about the thing that Kuma said to Rayleigh. If they are together in this probably they will get strong, all of them. But this think of the loyal and the only one who obeys the WG is really make me think what was the mastermind behind this: Dragon?

We don't know, just have to wait, and see what was that all about?
