i really like sommers fruit

i hope he gets to do some more cool stuff with it

[golden valley]

Sommers fruit is mid to me

[trim lily]

everyone with cool gimmicks is doomed to lose to unga bunga haki fellows…

[sweet anvil]

The moment he emphasises he’s in a hurry Sommers gets one shot

[clever idol]

This is hilarious because the point wasnf even about garps moral position. The circunstances in question is how how him roger and xebec are some of the main characters of this part of the flashback. So it makes sense he's the focus for some people.

There we go

[urban lodge]

It's by definition not a one shot

[blazing mantle]

I’m pretty it is

[golden valley]

Prolly cuz Gunko and Killingham fruit betta

[tranquil blade]

Sommers has a really good fruit actually

[blazing mantle]

Worst holy knight devil fruit

By far

[tranquil blade]

Okay

[trim lily]

it’s fun

[urban lodge]

All their fruits are cool

[trim lily]

embrace whimsy

[sweet anvil]

We have very good precedent for commanders holding up people with MF being a good example

[warm falcon]

what i like is:
Lodestar can be read as LOADstar
LOAD = ROAD
Road poneglyphs

[clever idol]

Less about this and more about them getting what they deserve if theyre doing evil heinous shit. Most of the shs have cool gimmicks

[brittle basin]

BTW all this God Knight slander naturally upscales Fisher Tiger.

[clever idol]

Good

[pine ridge]

only because the other ones are like so good

arrow fruit might be my favorite fruit in one piece

[hazy turret]

Ghost ping

[trim lily]

i’ll be honest i’d root for someone with a fun ability over someone morally better

thats why i’m morally obligated to root against zoro

[clever idol]

Fair?

[golden valley]

That aint the definition of oneshot and it doesn’t change that Gaban was serious. Gaban used a named attack there

[clever idol]

Regardless sommers got defeated easily and its what he deserves

Hes less than trash

[warm falcon]

Page zero

[sweet anvil]

He walks into the fight serious realised it’s taking a bit longer locks in and takes one shot to finish the fight

[clever idol]

I hope to see him get pieced up some more

[grand flower]

CDs are trash bruh lmao

[urban lodge]

People need to embrace liking evil characters

[sweet anvil]

I like imu

[trim lily]

i can’t bring myself to hate sommers

[clever idol]

I love plenty of evil characfers

[sweet anvil]

The HK are ass though

[trim lily]

he’s just a man that loves his job

[clever idol]

Sommers is garbage period

[golden valley]

Eh ig, but unless you think Kuzan is putting major effort into Jozu, then it doesn’t necessarily mean much

[urban lodge]

He's hilarious

[still mason]

I like BB so much I don't even really associate him as evil just reckless

[clever idol]

Ive seen funnier

But also

[trim lily]

funny scaling

[storm flume]

Shamrock is the only strong one, predicting it

[hazy turret]

@clever idol what was that in response to

[golden valley]

It just means Gaban used a stronger attack than what he did initially lol

And that overwhelms Sommers

[trim lily]

he is a shanks-like after all

[clever idol]

Wasnt meant for u

[warm falcon]

sorry i didnt want to cut your message so i deleted mine

[clever idol]

[sweet anvil]

Imu is the only wg antagonist I like if I’m being honest

[clever idol]

No worries

[sweet anvil]

Shamrock as well

[pine ridge]

I hope he dies a horrible death

[trim lily]

imu might be one of the ones i least like…

right now anywya

[clever idol]

Imu is interesting

Enjoy how hes being presented

[sweet anvil]

The HK are pretty bland outside of shamrock and Gunko

[frosty jasper]

She

[trim lily]

maybe their eventual flashback will make me more interested

[clever idol]

She*

[sage temple]

Hypetool for Loki soon

[frosty jasper]

I agree

[clever idol]

Good

[golden valley]

I loke nusjuro, gunko maybe old garling, killingham, maffey, shamrock, honestly, i damn near like all the WG antagonists

[sweet anvil]

I don’t even think Gunko is all that great

[sage temple]

https://tenor.com/view/clapping-gif-8248312488213405277

[grand flower]

Sommers is anything but bland

[sweet anvil]

“Maffey” 😭

[frosty jasper]

Its the same with the vice admirals, i only care about momonga, the other vice admirals idgaf about them or know their names

[grand flower]

Dude oozes with villainous charisma

[trim lily]

calling sommers and killingham bland is crazy

[frosty jasper]

Same here with hk i only care about shamrocks/gunko

[sweet anvil]

Gun to the back of you head name 3 maffey lines

[trim lily]

they’re a fun group

[grand flower]

Yeah him too

None of them are bland really

[clever idol]

It all died when i saw how much he enjoyed killing kids tbh. Cant help but root against him. Which makes him an effective villain imo

[sweet anvil]

I want to know how they aren’t bland

Killingham we haven’t seen to much of so I won’t talk about him

[golden valley]

I can name three reasons why shes her

[hasty sable]

I like kirin fruit guy

[trim lily]

idk fun personalities, designs and powers

[golden valley]

Also, Yeti HK has my stocks too

[trim lily]

what more do you want

[hasty sable]

Sommers is hilarious and pathetic

[grand flower]

That’s what I mean by villainous charisma. Sommers is a great example of “love to hate.” He’s a greet heel

[clever idol]

Their character design + dg fruits + plus being unique with their lineage and rolenand position within the cd

[sweet anvil]

Just declare for bankruptcy bru ✌️

[trim lily]

you’re not ready for what the shoujo prince knight can do

[clever idol]

Idk if i love to hate its more of a general disgust but sure. I just want him dead and gone asap

[golden valley]

Just dont let them fight top tiers

Its all good

[trim lily]

surely oda won’t forget him

[urban lodge]

Shoujo Prince will no diff Kaido next chapter

[clever idol]

Hes like an orochi to me

Or spandam

[grand flower]

I think he’s a compelling force to root against, I’d say it like that

[sweet anvil]

Sommers is just a CD with more power his design is above average and his powers are decent ig ?

[grand flower]

He’s a very effective villain

[clever idol]

For sure

[winter oasis]

Sommers is fun

[storm flume]

So glad oda makes all the HK weak, since they don’t really fight anyone but slaves

[winter oasis]

Not quite apoo though

[sweet anvil]

Makes sense tbf

They didn’t fight anyone to be getting haki blooms

[golden valley]

What counts as weak bro

[urban lodge]

Not Rocks = weak

[winter oasis]

They rely on their regeneration which is how it should be

[clever idol]

Mhm

[storm flume]

They’re weak compared to all strong people

[hazy turret]

[pine ridge]

losing to rocks makes you weak? what does that make rocks, slightly less weak?

[golden valley]

And who are strong people

[clever idol]

replied to u by accident. U were in my way!

[storm flume]

He was expected to be top 3 on the island, he’s way weaker than people expected

Im glad oda makes him weak like that

[golden valley]

Is 3v1ing Nami, Usopp, Brook and Jinbei not weak?

[clever idol]

What ppl mean to say is garling is much weaker than they thought

[sweet anvil]

Precisely

[storm flume]

Pretty much

[clever idol]

No but uh once they figured her out shes done for. Fuck her too

[sweet anvil]

There would’ve been no issue if he wasn’t reknowned for his achievements at GV

[clever idol]

And also shanks father

That alone was enough to set the expectation

[sweet anvil]

He could still do something at GV but it’s looking like if he does it’ll be either kidnapping eris or sneaking rocks

Which isn’t exactly impressive

[pine ridge]

ehh he's still young

[hazy turret]

[sweet anvil]

We don’t actually know his age correct me if I’m wrong

[grand flower]

Garling will probably have a comeback. I gotta relish this period where he's more pathetic than Kid and Big Mom as long as I can

He probably always will be

But just in case

[clever idol]

I hope so

[golden valley]

Then yeah, that wording is pretty wild. “These characters aren’t as strong as the fans hyped them to be” is the way to say it.

[golden valley]

Top 3????

[sweet anvil]

Story hyped him to be *

[clever idol]

Lil bit of both but mostly on the fans

[golden valley]

The story hyped young garling to be able to compete with Rocks?

[sweet anvil]

Champion of god valley , future commander of HK , future gorosei member , father of shanks

[pine ridge]

we dont but we know he aged normally until egghead probably

[pine ridge]

future everything

[grand flower]

Garling's introduction says that he distinguished himself at Me Valley

We're just now learning that it meant distinguished himself as the ultimate fraud

[warm fossil]

i don't think anybody thought garlic was on the level of rocks but i also don't think anyone thought he'd get low diffed off screen

[golden valley]

Champion of GV was never something that should have been automatically assumed to be powerscaling related

[storm flume]

Expect him to sneak someone to get his title champion

Ion see him doing much

[grand flower]

Not just that. Reverse jumped

[sweet anvil]

Presuming he’s whitebeard and Roger’s age their achievements were also all in the future

[grand flower]

I never would have predicted he gets reverse jumped

[golden valley]

Not offscreened

[grand flower]

Garling tried psychological and physical warfare AND cheated and still got faded

[sweet anvil]

Him having those achievements in the future hyped him to be at least like Rayleigh level in my eyes

[grand flower]

This is generational ass

[clever idol]

The wording isnt that wild? nothing about what i said implied it wasnt the fault of fan expectations or even blames the story

[storm flume]

This dude lost 2 rounds ina row bro

[sweet anvil]

I was wrong and I got to accept that

[clever idol]

Its what he deserves man

[grand flower]

Bro was pulling up on Rocks like "So you can hurt me...but I've got you all figured out"

[clever idol]

Garling is no doflamingo

[grand flower]

And worse

[clever idol]

Thats for sure

[golden valley]

Maybe Im just a Rocks glazer 😭 but I didn’t have many people on that island being able to press him by much

[grand flower]

This is what Garling gets for beating on a helpless woman

[junior plover]

Garling is probably strong as hell, rocks is just rocks lol

[pine ridge]

also true. and if we look at east blue shanks, he was way weaker then now

[grand flower]

In the name of Kid and Big Mom, fuck that nigga

He ass now

That's how it works

[sage temple]

Strongest person on that island was definitely Rocks

[sweet anvil]

Whitebeard and Roger were 36 and 40 basicallly current shanks age

[frigid gulch]

I’l almost positive that “distinguished himself” is Viz’s roundabout way of saying he’s the champion

[sage temple]

Except Imu IG

[clever idol]

I pray garling gets coc from imu

[frigid gulch]

Sometimes they do that shit

[junior plover]

Kid? You mean shanks doormat?

[blazing depot]

I believe that was a correction

[golden valley]

Apart from the first one, these are just things that come later. Its not reflective of young garling’s strength

[tranquil blade]

He is the champion cause he killed the most slaves

[blazing depot]

Same with Mother Frame

[clever idol]

Exactly hes no real one

[frigid gulch]

Viz initially had it as ruler/king and then changed it to that

[blazing depot]

It all gets fixed in the volume anyways so it don’t matter

[grand flower]

Better than Garling at least

[sweet anvil]

Like I said a lot of this applies for other characters at GV but their future achievements hyped them up to be something at the time for me

[junior plover]

Honestly I doubt it

[golden valley]

Being a future of the HK or a future Gorosei member doesn’t tell ya “He was top 3 and could hang with Rocks”

[frigid gulch]

But the word can simply mean champion and contextually it seems appropriate

[tranquil blade]

Garling when he cannot murder children and slaves and actually has to fight someone strong

[golden valley]

Ah ok

[warm fossil]

it doesn't really make sense for him to be the champion because of slave killing as the game got cancelled

[grand flower]

wym you doubt it? Garling has no successful acts of violence against combatants. It's exclusively chained up slaves, a prisoner, and a helpless woman

Garling is the most pathetic character by far rn

[frigid gulch]

But the narrator said he is

[grand flower]

If he didn't do what he did to mama redhair, it wouldn't be so bad

[sweet anvil]

Didn’t say it tells me that inferred that the guy would be able to at least hold rocks up temporarily like how wb spoke about garp even though they’re relative

[clever idol]

GO OFF SHURON

GO OFF

[hasty sable]

Garlic would probably be a menace a few arcs ago lol

[royal orchid]

I can come to this channel at any time and still be able to post the give me haki garling image

[tranquil blade]

Garling is the WSS: World's Strongest Slaver

[hasty sable]

But now I kind of get the score yeah

[warm fossil]

jack was a menace a few arcs ago

[grand flower]

Supreme Fraud of the Holy Knights

[sweet anvil]

Having a demon army + another HK should’ve been enough for people like Rayleigh to hold xebec up for a bit and that’s where I had garling at

[pine ridge]

if you consider pre ts bb. he was in the same range and he was way weaker than now as well

[hasty sable]

Shamrock is next

[warm fossil]

shamrock has been a fraud

[grand flower]

That meme of Saturn passing the mantle of weakest Elder to Garling is funny af

Streets saying Garling the only HK to get Haki from the Abyss mark too

[blazing depot]

Reason for his strength? Regen bailouts

[clever idol]

u get it

[grand flower]

Shamrock's only display is attacking a chained up man

Just like his bum ass daddy

[clever idol]

He tried to replicate the hunting games

Hes garbage

[tranquil blade]

Reason for his strength? Demon magic merchant

[clever idol]

Watch he have no coc

God damn bum

[junior plover]

Im just happy to see garp reacting to what's going on

[royal orchid]

the fact that garling has objectively been carried by his regen

[frigid gulch]

Shamrock better hope Loki doesn’t catch him

[tranquil blade]

Garling needs a demon form from Imu to be able to push Queen to mid diff

[royal orchid]

at least he gets 1 (one) point for not knowing the CDs did slave hunts

[clever idol]

Not too much queen is ass too

[sweet anvil]

bb is a completely different case considering he was hiding his strength as inferred by his scarring shanks , his whole strength being a mystery with there being theories of rocks being in him and him also gaining the strongest paramecia after the ts

[frigid gulch]

Shamrock kinda seems to have Imu stuff tho

[sage temple]

That fight gonna be another parallel to add to the list

[frigid gulch]

For his sword at least

[golden valley]

Yeah, so I figured this is just the fans having higher standards for Young Garling, which is fine. I still think people having him as top 3 is crazy

[royal orchid]

be honest guys
would you laugh if garling's yokai form was a mystical rat

[pine ridge]

yeah but it just shows that these guys can get much stronger very quickly even after reaching adulthood

[sweet anvil]

I didn’t have him that high I thought he was like Rayleigh level which was reasonable

[tranquil blade]

Yes

[frigid gulch]

Yea

It’d be pretty funny

[clever idol]

Uh yea??

Rat King Garling

[grand flower]

@clever idol Shanks' fuck nigga genes made him stop Kaido from going to help Whitebeard

[clever idol]

Talk

He was tryna help his old buddy

His big bro

[grand flower]

Facts

[storm flume]

Might be shamrock and Kaido got confused

[royal orchid]

kaido at marineford would have been beautiful

[grand flower]

wdym?

[hazy turret]

Saw a tweet that said shanks stopped kaido from going to whitebeard and showed up to mf after wb was dead

[grand flower]

Whole family ain't shit on the low

[frigid gulch]

WB (big bro) disciplines Kaido (lil bro) for killing Oden (also lil bro)

[frozen ravine]

wow like big mom kind of

[grand flower]

Kid was justified

[frigid gulch]

[sweet anvil]

BB is basically the only exception that being because he gained the strongest paramecia , presumably finally utilising haki , fighting in the payback war , rocky port , MF and just in general him possibly hiding his strength being the offscreen guy

[hazy turret]

TRUST

[grand flower]

Shanks sees Buggy after 20 years and what does he do? Emotionally manipulate him with something he KNOWS Buggy cares deeply about

[warm fossil]

does anyone have the edit of garling joining the gorosei but they're clowning on him

[warm falcon]

thank you. nevermind, i guess someone edited, its not in the original

[grand flower]

happy to help!

[pine ridge]

ig we'll see

[warm fossil]

found it

generational agenda

[warm falcon]

at least he has drip

[grand flower]

This is when the Elders realized Blackbeard is the final villain

[sweet anvil]

Tbh it looks like there’s no way the marines defect from the wg at this rate

[grand flower]

What makes you say that

[warm fossil]

the next two chapters will probably seal the fate of the final villain

[grand flower]

The 1162 before them already did

[warm fossil]

(no)

[storm flume]

I don’t think I’m ready for Akainu yet

[final trench]

“Know your place”- marcus the goat

[storm flume]

I just know he’s bouta do sum

[warm fossil]

"akainu" in any year after 1994...

[storm flume]

That’s my fleet admiral

[sweet anvil]

I kinda overhyped the HK but with the entire SH RA Loki Yamato and wayy more factions fighting there’s no way the FK gorosei and imu and enough

[hasty sable]

Holy Knights are there to give other straw hats something to do

[golden valley]

Blackbeard becoming a Haki god might unironically happen

[urban lodge]

It won't

[hasty sable]

Blackbeard doesn’t even have CoC imo

[sweet anvil]

Idk about allat

[sweet anvil]

Let’s not go that far

[warm fossil]

blackbeard is gonna have generational haki he's fighting luffy

[sweet anvil]

The guys ambition is “the world”

[urban lodge]

No let's go that far

[hasty sable]

I do think he might take Imu’s power though

[urban lodge]

He doesn't have it

[golden valley]

If he has CoC, hes 100% being a haki god lol

[storm flume]

Imu could prolly wipe out 98% of their forces

[sweet anvil]

Idk how much more conq ambition you get

[royal orchid]

I would argue he has a lot of kingly ambition

[hasty sable]

Yeah but his ambition also belongs to his father

[blazing depot]

Blackbeard not having CoC makes sense from a narrative standpoint tbh

[golden valley]

The thing that stops BB from not being a haki god is IF he doesn’t have CoC

[hasty sable]

I think that takes something away

[sweet anvil]

And it’s also his ?

[warm falcon]

i guess this is old but i think its worth remembering
these words on the wall in Impel Down

[storm flume]

It’s gonna be Luffy awakening as joy boy to beat Imu fs

[junior plover]

I wonder if imu will actually be strong or more immortal bs

[warm fossil]

if blackbeard doesn't have coc but zoro does the story's cooked

[hasty sable]

A lot of people want to be pirate king but not everyone has CoC

Same for ruling the world

Stelly had ambition

[sweet anvil]

Luffys true dream belongs to Roger

[storm flume]

I think there’s a gimmick to their power and they aren’t physically strong

[hasty sable]

I think Teach is meant to be kind of a pathetic loser in the end

Luffy’s dream is his own

[warm fossil]

wise words

[urban lodge]

It's not the same

[storm flume]

Like how Imu destroyed an island

[sweet anvil]

What an interesting interpretation

[royal orchid]

From You, 20 Years Ago

[urban lodge]

Because Luffy and Roger said it completely independently

[golden valley]

I would prefer if Blackbeard just mains the DF’s while his father mains Haki

[hasty sable]

Ever since we met Xebec I’ve been feeling it

[pine ridge]

might be a mostly indirect fight if imu starts abusing domi reversi and other black magic

[hasty sable]

Teach isn’t him and he never will be

[urban lodge]

Blackbeard is aware of what Rocks' goal was and is following in his footsteps

Teach is a pretender

[hasty sable]

Yeah exactly

He’s a phony

[trim lily]

at this point it seems pretty clear blackbeard just wants to continue his father’s legacy

[warm fossil]

that's exactly what oda wants you to think

[sweet anvil]

Following in someone’s footsteps doesn’t take away the ambition behind it lmao

[trim lily]

question is how much was his own idea

[hasty sable]

He wouldn’t have even went out to become king of the world if the stars didn’t align for him

[urban lodge]

It's still not the same as Luffy and Roger

[warm fossil]

but it'll soon be revealed that blackbeard is actually rocks' father

[royal orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/whitebeard-edward-newgate-shirohige-marineford-one-piece-gif-17997422790007111112

[hasty sable]

I still think than Teach will make it pretty far and succeed though

But the fundamental difference between him and Luffy will be that

Teach is a huge fucking loser lol

[sweet anvil]

Even if its different circumstances luffys main influence and albeit not exactly following him Luffy wants to be a great pirate like shanks

[junior plover]

Thats a bit of an oversimplification of his entire character

[sweet anvil]

It’s still a great ambition

[hasty sable]

Yeah of course it is

[golden valley]

Well what made me view them differently is BB would have quit his dream if he didn’t get the exact DF he wanted

[hasty sable]

But it’s also true

[golden valley]

Which is…

[urban lodge]

A more apt comparison is any other bozo out there who is after the one piece because of Roger

[hasty sable]

I like Teach too but there’s definitely reason Xebec is so different from his son

[junior plover]

What does akoji see in him? What do all the bb pirates?

[sweet anvil]

And teach isn’t exactly like rocks he’s clearly more malicious so I would guess his plans diverge at some point

[hasty sable]

While Luffy is basically Roger

[sweet anvil]

…

[royal orchid]

yeah for one teach is fat

so that already changes things

[sweet anvil]

Ok this I can agree on now

[grand flower]

Wonder if it'll become relevant that War-Land is just one place in Elbaph

[sweet anvil]

Teach is lowkey a waste of genes

[royal orchid]

why this 🚬 sleeping like that 😭

[blazing depot]

I vaguely remember Artur being super certain Warland was the island and Elbaph was the kingdom lol

Like right before the arc

[grand flower]

what? are you trying to call sanji the f-slur lmao

[royal orchid]

WHAT

[grand flower]

cigs are called that in britian

Britain*

So idk if that's what you meant

[sweet anvil]

Lmao that’s what I thought too

[royal orchid]

I was referencing this lmaoo

[warm fossil]

yo this is crazy the cigar has sanji's eyebrow

[royal orchid]

[pine ridge]

luffy vs bb will end like this
"I just wanted to make my fathers dream come true"
"but teach, dont you know that your father's dream was for you to be able to chase your own dream"

https://tenor.com/view/sakugastudio-jxrdn-absolute-cinema-luffy-gif-15469166217534865765

[hasty sable]

Oda is back

[royal orchid]

Luffy will beat Blackbeard and Imu with the power of friendship

[pine ridge]

I actually think he will. or at least bb

[hasty sable]

Luffy doesn’t do stuff like that

[wide star]

i don’t see power of friendship ever working with blackbeard lol

the same man who killed the man he called his pops for decades lol

and his brother

[hasty sable]

Blackbeard wants everything

[sweet anvil]

Tbf

Blackbeard before fighting ace actually sounded like a decent guy

[stone terrace]

That is my pindo, my pirate way

[royal orchid]

I love this image so much it's so funny

[wide star]

shanks shot this down by saying he’s always been the type of person who will want more and more power and never stop so even long before he left WB he had this mindset when he fought Shanks

[royal orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/blackbeard-one-piece-marshall-d-teach-anime-rule-the-world-with-me-gif-20946749

"I've already planned every single thing."

[hasty sable]

Blackbeard would probably be a decent guy as long as you don’t dangle any carrots in front of him

[south prism]

manga chat died so time to go to also-manga chat, hey guys

[urban lodge]

Bro thinks he's (other series)

[hasty sable]

I think he genuinely liked his comrades on Whitebeard’s ship

[sweet anvil]

Rocks had a similar plan and didnt seem too bad

[hasty sable]

Though not enough to spare Thatch and Ace lol

[stone terrace]

Lucks into:
shiryu
aokiji
caribou (2 ancient weapons)
Garp

[frosty jasper]

WWF reference

[stone terrace]

I need to plan better

[wide star]

yeah he said he respected WB & looked up to him the most and told ace that he didn’t wanna have to kill his friend that but he had to lol

[grand flower]

Caribou ain’t telling him a thing

[hasty sable]

Blackbeard just a true pirate in the end

[sweet anvil]

His planning is a big part of things though

[hasty sable]

It is mostly that Teach is straight up blessed by fate

[sweet anvil]

He was looking for a fruit for 30 years

[hasty sable]

He has Luffy levels of things working out

[sweet anvil]

Nowhere near

[tranquil blade]

Blackbeard has very loose, simple plans

[grand flower]

Teach’s plans tend to just be reaching toward an objective

[royal orchid]

ok for one he directly went to go get shiryu and crew + garp mightve been part of his plan, but koby was luck

[wide star]

yeah I think if Rocks had ever found that other DF he needed , he would’ve slimed out someone on his crew for it if he had to

[pine ridge]

I would imagine his plan was the whole summit war saga + eventually taking over wb's territory to become an emperor and that's it

[wide star]

he was willing to kill his apprentice just for asking a question about harald lol

[stone terrace]

Shiryu the actual person idrc about but him getting saved in impel down was a miracle

[urban lodge]

His plans are fucking stupid and he always lucks out

[royal orchid]

he was that bummed out

[still mason]

Did he really go there for Shiryu? I think it was just an opportunity that presented itself after Magellan let Shiryu out and then Shiryu happened to give BB the antidote

[sweet anvil]

Wrong

[still mason]

after Magellan whooped his ass without blinking

[wide star]

doesn’t every plan need a little bit of luck to work .. we see it with the straw hats every single arc lol

[royal orchid]

ohh you mean BB getting saved from the poison

[stone terrace]

I dont think the strawhats really plan

[royal orchid]

yeah that was a nat 20

[stone terrace]

But yes luffy is super lucky

[wide star]

we saw law making plans with the straw hats multiple times and it never works out

[sweet anvil]

It’s basically impossible to have a successful plan in one piece lmao

[leaden rivet]

Do you guys think Blackbeard loved his mother

[sweet anvil]

I mean large scale plans btw

[wide star]

yeah

[royal orchid]

probably

[sweet anvil]

There’s so many different factions and external factors to take into account when planning

[pine ridge]

yeah don krieg had a good plan but then he accidentally woke up mihawk from his nap

[wide star]

even Luffy & Law multiple arc plan to take down Kaido needed a lot of luck for it to work cause they didn’t expect big mom to get involved as well lol

[sweet anvil]

That it’s lowkey better to just leave things to luck

Not completely

But partly

[leaden rivet]

Kaido honestly could’ve won on his own if he was less Kaido

[urban lodge]

Yeah no plan ever works out but his plans are genuinely dumb, he wanted to become a warlord to be allowed into impel down when warlords aren't even allowed into impel down

They made an exception for Hancock

[pine ridge]

but kaido wouldn't be kaido if it wasn't kaido

[sweet anvil]

He was aware of the commotion of the MF war and figured he’d be able to slip through ig

[wide star]

they clearly have some type of clearance though or else sengoku wouldn’t have said “ so that’s why you became a warlord “

that plus the knowledge of MF chaos

[grand flower]

His plan for marineford and impel down was literally just “show up”

[urban lodge]

Lmao

[royal orchid]

execute pirate plan
plan going well
smoker gets you lmao
back to plan
warlord
back to plan
yonko territory
yonko slimes you
back to plan

[wide star]

the Winners Island plan was also smart and worked perfectly cause he also tricked Shanks with it

[sweet anvil]

I think Blackbeard has some form of contingency power wise

[leaden rivet]

Fate

That’s the contingency plan

[stone terrace]

Yami yami and inshallah

[royal orchid]

BB's contingency plan is to spam his powers and hope you're voided/drowning

[sweet anvil]

He can take risks that he shouldn’t be able to at his current strength because of his “offscreen strength”

[wide star]

the contingency is offscreen ..

[royal orchid]

also Van Augur

[wide star]

he knows what offscreen means in his fights and he takes advantage of it lol

[royal orchid]

Van Augur is a very good plan B

[leaden rivet]

Because of fate

[sweet anvil]

I genuinely think he’s been hiding some crazy strength back

[wide star]

probably

[tawny kraken]

BB's contingency plan is plot armour

[sweet anvil]

He’s going to fight shanks soon enough

[sweet anvil]

Plot armour

Might be the dumbest argument

[warm fossil]

well obviously lol he dropped Luffy 3 times before the fourth one turned him into Nika

[royal orchid]

there's no other logias on BB's crew apart from his right?

[leaden rivet]

Magellan would’ve killed his ass without fate

[wide star]

Kuzan

[royal orchid]

oh yeah I forget he's a member

[sweet anvil]

He was going to but shiryu saved him

[rustic dome]

I'm a bit late to the new manga drop but that final panel made me think we had some Dio/Rocks/Imu memes on release, is that accurate?

[warm fossil]

Luffy was dead 40 times over in mf

[still mason]

Remember BB's plan to sail directly into the knockup stream when he was chasing Luffy after Jaya

BBrain move

[royal orchid]

remember when he dropped in front of the 3 admirals
his ass didn't even have haki

[formal wagon]

kuzan is fast and can freeze his opponents

[royal orchid]

kizaru is slow and can light his opponents

[stone terrace]

akainu is

Finish it

[royal orchid]

akainu is a fascist and can melt his allies

anyway yeah Luffy has plot armor but that's just how it is

[royal orchid]

wasn't akainu the one that ordered to bomb that ship leaving ohara

[stone terrace]

Yes

I wonder if Akainu knows about the slave hunts

Does the Manmeyer girl have that massive neck in the manga too or is that a Toei moment?

what tattoo would you get if you had the aura of goat island koby

I guess the if is not really necessary

Goat island Koby? What the fuck are you talking about

[warm fossil]

goat island

[grand flower]

Ohhhh

Get a pink lion

Like Lion from Steven Universe

[warm fossil]

id tattoo a dick on my face before letting anything from Steven universe touch my body

[grand flower]

It can also symbolize me cause I’m a Leo :3

[grand flower]

Fun fact

I once tried making a stencil out of

[grand flower]

Even this drawing I did?

I fucked up and accidentally colored his face the wrong shade ):

[warm fossil]

no clue what that is

[grand flower]

That’s Lion you idjit

Would you let Steven universe draw a dick on your face?

[grand flower]

Steven Universe is a good boy whom would never do that

[clever idol]

[olive sigil]

That’s his nickname

[warm fossil]

I went to the beach yesterday and didn't put on enough sunscreen and the result is I now look like post time skip kuzan

[thick mango]

steven universe is alright. pretty good even. If they cut it down to only the main story it might be great. I dont like theres so much random slice of life fluff

[clever idol]

Fair

[olive sigil]

Homeless?

[warm fossil]

yes but that's unrelated

[clever idol]

Slice of life stuff often has a bit main story stuff tho

Kinda like cover stories

[thick mango]

yeah it would be hard to separate maybe. I just think the ratio is off

[clever idol]

Wooooooow

[thick mango]

especially in the beginning you only get tiny drips of main story

[grand flower]

I can see your perspective. The overarching plot is way more interesting

[clever idol]

My opinion has dropped even more

[grand flower]

I feel like that’s the same with Supernatural

Most shows really

[blazing depot]

I think I’m good

[grand flower]

The overarching plot is better than the conflict of the weeks most of the time

[warm fossil]

not really a banana kinda guy yknow

[rich hornet]

The slice of life stuff is what makes the main story better. One Piece in comparison suffers from having so many characters that we don’t get slice of life anymore

[thick mango]

dr who is the only one i can think of thats the reverse. Where the overarching story is kinda dumb but i just like the conflict of the week

[warm fossil]

where the fuck is this information coming from

[stone terrace]

Hes probably at least 300

[clever idol]

fair but that also speaks to just how much we enjoy the characters that we would even take them just hanging out

[rich hornet]

The best part of any one piece movie is the crew chilling before the plot starts

Garp haters FOUND UNCONSCIOUS (but still alive) IN A DITCH after reading latest chapter

[hazy turret]

Why lol

He’s still working for the wg after seeing the horrible things they do

[thick mango]

i feel like we already had this conversation so no need to reshash it but youre being an underpants gnome

[ruby moat]

They’re bad at driving and hydroplaned while driving during a storm

[wraith mantle]

whats an underpants gnome

Idk how to drive so this means nothing to me

[grand flower]

It’s pretty easy

[wraith mantle]

ok buddy i aint falling for this twice

[proud pivot]

I can teach you

[wraith mantle]

snod already got me with it

[hazy turret]

Piss OFF

[thick mango]

leaving the marines is stage 1, then theres many other stages... then i guess the profit stage 3 is a beatiful utopian just world

[wraith mantle]

is this rizz

[grand flower]

Garp should leave the Marines because all the people he saved would have preferred for them all to die together in a symbolic but fruitless gesture

[hazy turret]

What I think garp should do doesn’t really change the fact that he has to bear the burden of continuing to work for a maniacal government

[proud pivot]

Thinking of a funny joke

[thick mango]

the path from leaving the marines to the beatiful utopia is not at all clear. But the path from staying with the marines to continuing to help the innocent, on balance, is very clear

[magic sparrow]

How long will the God Valley flashback last now that Imu is here

[grand flower]

The path to the Utopia is Garp inspiring the Marines, Dragon inspiring the people, and Luffy leading the charge as Joy Boy

[dull berry]

3 more chapters

[urban lodge]

2 or 3 chapters left

[thick mango]

bearing that burden and moral stain towards the pratical end of enhancing his ability to help innocents is noble imo

[rich hornet]

3 chaps

[wraith mantle]

3 chapter 💔

[hazy turret]

Seeing them commit a genocide in front of your eyes and go “…yeah I’m still gonna work for them to fulfill my own agenda”

[thick mango]

it would be selfish to put his own moral purity over his ability to help innocents on balance

[hazy turret]

And no one is supposed to question that?

[south prism]

yo its LION!!!

[wraith mantle]

dragon did it

[stone terrace]

I wonder what garp does if he sees marines killing unaffiliated citizens

[rich hornet]

It is questionable, but also understandable

[stone terrace]

Spicy

[grand flower]

Dragon hasn't done it. Dragon has staged an organized rebellion, and it's still struggling after almost 30 years

[thick mango]

dragon been doing it for 40 years and still has not succeeded and probably wouldnt succeed in the end without luffy

[hazy turret]

We’re seeing it rn

Are we not?

[wraith mantle]

i feel like oda needs to stop being subtextual and just state the obvious

[grand flower]

Yeah Garp says it's madness

[rich hornet]

Or Garp tbf

[hazy turret]

All talk

Got it

[stone terrace]

Que jugador

[gritty shuttle]

It feels like a band aid fix for oda to go "oh well, he didnt know what they were doing!" But then he continues to work for them for a long time, and then he even stayed after he was forced to stand by as hundreds of innocent pregnant women were killed simply to find the son of roger

[thick mango]

the alternative youre proposing is a pointless moral gesture that would help no one

[opal gulch]

brother wtf

[hazy turret]

He’s supposed to be morally gray, but we’re not supposed to shame him for said questionable morals

[thick mango]

i feel like you dont give any credit to the other side of the scales

[rich hornet]

Let’s see how it plays out before casting judgement

[ruby moat]

Garp haters FOUND IN POOL OF BLOOD after reading latest chapter

[thick mango]

youre not treating him as morally grey you treat him as moraly evil

[wraith mantle]

tbf i dont think garp ever worked on a mission that was unjust

but still

[gritty shuttle]

Id argue its the opposite

[ruby moat]

Found in a pool of…?

[wraith mantle]

they giving him the rocks treatment smh

[gritty shuttle]

Liquid gold and diamonds

[ruby moat]

Then they’d be rich

And they’re not rich

[gritty shuttle]

Whos not rich

[ruby moat]

So that can’t be right

[thick mango]

i guess i just never heard a convincing argument as to how leaving the marines in a symbolic gesture narcisstically obsessed with ones own moral purity that does nothing to make anyone's life better is a good thing

[dull berry]

Is the God Valley island actually ending up wiped out or is it still around? Sengoku only said its not in the maps anymore

[grand flower]

Exactly. From the knowledge Garp has available to him, there is only three options because the WG is by all appearance insurmountable:

1. Leave the Navy and become a vigilante, saving far less people than as a Marine unless he started acting like a pirate and started stealing resources which defeats the purpose

2. Become a Revolutionary and save less people on a failing cause, sacrificing lives for a moral gesture

3. Remain a Marine and try to use his influence as a beloved icon and instructor to strengthen the moral fiber of the organization against the WG's corruption, and continue to save people day in and day out

[rich hornet]

I have slandered Garp along with the worst of them, but lately I’m seeing it as similar to people who bash the Roger pirates for doing nothing. There’s a time for action, and it’s not now.

We can only truly slander Garp if he stays a lapdog to the end

[pine ridge]

idk what garp not knowing about the hunting games until now even changes

[grand flower]

We can understand Garp's decisions are flawed, you can argue they were the wrong decision

[ruby moat]

POOL OF BLOOD.

[thick mango]

3 is also so important to the downfall of the cd one day.

[grand flower]

But people not being able to parse that alongside the fact that Garp is ultimately a good person trying to make what he thinks is the best decision in a situation with no ideal solution

It's just a disservice to how well written the dilemma is involving the Navy and the WG are altogether

[pine ridge]

yeah the blood of innocent civilians and slaves being slaughtered

[thick mango]

if all the good marines just leave, there will be no coup, itll be a complete bloodbath, the instition of the marines may fail and plunge the world into an anarchic chaos where they get preyed upon by people like bb

[leaden rivet]

Magellan would’ve killed his ass without fate

[hazy turret]

There’s not much to be said about the “good”. His heart is in the right place and I’m sure has struggled internally to make a choice

[ruby moat]

Uh oh what r garp haters getting up to!

[vital heart]

I finally got the chance to fully read 1162. It's sooooo good

[grand flower]

It sucks seeing people hold Garp to a standard that only exists because we're readers of a story that know it's gonna end happy

[thick mango]

i think there being good people in the marines is key to the revos actualy being able to succeed one day in a way that doesnt ruin the world

[grand flower]

We can say "Garp should have become a Revolutionary!" because, from a narrative standpoint, we know they will win against the impossible odds at the end of it all

Garp literally cannot think that way

[leaden rivet]

Exactly

Garp is saving thousands of people as a marine

He isn’t just licking his toe nails

[thick mango]

he goes out of his way to avoid directly supporting cds

[vital heart]

I am so excited to see Garp, Roger, Rocks, Kaido, WB all face off against Imuturn and eventually see how Harald slots into all of this. Only gonna ramp up in excitement

[grand flower]

Great moral gesture

Won't achieve a thing

[vital heart]

Kinda hoped for BM/Shiki to have a bigger role but it's whatever lol I think they did enough

[vital heart]

Lastly, Dragon and Eris are so cool bruh

and Garling is a bum

[grand flower]

It's not like Me Valley is over lol

[wraith mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/emperor-vrchat-vr-emperor-of-vrchat-blackbeard-gif-19995325

[hazy turret]

No he’s being held to a standard as someone who wants to do good while being in a position of power

[leaden rivet]

The only thing I will criticize Garp for is not doing more internally to facilitate change, but it seems like he’s starting that way with Koby

[thick mango]

and i think its a form of narcissiism to put that kind of moral gesture to ensure your own personal moral purity over the practical impacts on people's lives

[grand flower]

Even that trash ass wack ass buns ass lame ass pathetic ass reverse-jumped-getting-ass garling will get a second chance

[wraith mantle]

eris will get recaptured by garling

i am still all in on the idea that eris will die and rocks will go berserk

[stone terrace]

[hazy turret]

I feel like fujitora is doing more of what you guys are saying garp does

[leaden rivet]

You’re one of the people just immune to the rules huh

[hazy turret]

Bruh what the

[thick mango]

it takes a critical mass. One person cannot do this

[vital heart]

Btw, something I was curious about is what is Ganzui doing here?

[blazing depot]

Meek is a celestial dragon

[hazy turret]

I was so blinded by garp slander that the politics flew over my head

[blazing depot]

The rules don’t apply to him

[wraith mantle]

MEEK

[blazing depot]

He’s a god since he does translations

[thick mango]

its gonna take fujitora and garp and koby and helmpoo and clay net guy whos name i dont remember

[wraith mantle]

big salute brother

[grand flower]

And I don't see why you insist on viewing Garp as someone who isn't doing this. You can acknowledge that Garp's decision to stay with the Navy is flawed.

But the facts remain, Garp using his position of power to save people is doing good. Garp using his position of influence to strengthen the moral fiber of the Navy is doing good.

[oak sonnet]

Don't forget that Road saw the strawhats booty naked

this is clearly a roger pirate

It's just not specified who

ignoring..

[grand flower]

wdym ignoring

[leaden rivet]

Ah yes verbal indication that you’re ignoring someone

[thick mango]

that aint marco hes 45

[stone terrace]

So why cant it be a roger pirate thats also marcos dad

[thick mango]

marco is 6 during god valley

[grand flower]

he was an early bloomer

[vital heart]

Sengoku is an American.

Garp has good intentions. I think he's fine. I dont know what else to say about him

[grand flower]

also he was 7

[stone terrace]

We dont claim sengoku

[dull berry]

Its marcos father... Polo

[olive sigil]

Which one

[stone terrace]

who am i kidding, he'd fit in well

[wraith mantle]

whats perfumes do you guys wear for work??

[stone terrace]

[grand flower]

Garp is a good man making what he thinks is the best decision in an impossible dilemma

[stone terrace]

Gatekeeping sorry

[brittle basin]

I claim Sengoku. The fro and goat do a lot of heavy lifting.

[vital heart]

I'm still confused how the Davy clan got Domi Reversi'd here but I have a couple ideas.

If anyone has a really compelling explanation, i'd love to hear it.

[wraith mantle]

😔 i need something bruh

[grand flower]

I run on a treadmill, run my hand between my ass, and slathers whatever comes with across the back of my neck

[leaden rivet]

Calling Garp a good man is pushing it

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves

[wraith mantle]

https://tenor.com/view/i-beg-your-pardon-gif-25374687

[stone terrace]

A celestial dragon should shoot sengokus goat and eat it front of him

[brittle basin]

natural scents are what women prefer

[grand flower]

They love a good musk

[thick mango]

if garp were self interested he could just be a pirate and use his strength to take what he wants. Hes a marine cause he wants to help people

[stone terrace]

I wish nothing more than for marines who defend them to get wronged by them personally

[vital heart]

I think this made me realize that we'll meet more Davy clan members only as the story progresses. I like the idea that either Moda/Dr. Blackbeard on Lulucia are either a colony of the Davy clan outside of GV or are just friends of the Davy clan

I like Eris too, I didn't expect for Oda to give her an actual compelling personality

[thick mango]

i dont dislike meeting more davy clan members but i really dislike the idea of lulusia being a davy hub

[grand flower]

Yeah?

[vital heart]

i didn't say hub, i mean just a separate davy colony

[thick mango]

it ruins the 'It's close' moment if imu has an ancient grudge to pay off

[vital heart]

also, I'm not sure if I'm reading this scene wrong, but why are so many people calling this attack crazy?

it seems hidden to me

[wraith mantle]

he dont care about no demon haki

[stone terrace]

Wait no

Too young

[sage temple]

Neither does Loki

[vital heart]

I heard that Tekking thinks that this could be some living monster under the island or some literal being unleashed. I think the answer is much simpler.

They don't want the "truth" to be unleashed. Not just the truth of the WG, but specifically the truth of the hunting games. If Rocks & co win at GV, then it'll be common knowledge for people that the CDs do these. Thats why Imu had to intervene to keep this on the downlow, which more or less worked in the end.

[blazing depot]

He’s in his 30s

[olive sigil]

First one is Hound

[blazing depot]

That wasn’t him at God Valley

That dude does not look 60

[olive sigil]

Is he?

[tough dust]

everything kaido will do feat wise to imu is what i would kinda expect and hope for loki against imugunko tbh

[pine ridge]

maybe the davy clan are destined to lose. they tried to group up close to mariejois so they could redeem themselves one day by taking over the wg but then their plan backfired as imu wanted to destroy something close to mariejois

[wraith mantle]

pirate king parallel damn bruh

[vital heart]

one of my favorite pages in a minute lol

[thick mango]

i just dont think coincidences like that are typically good in stories

[olive sigil]

Hound doesn’t have an official age so he could be 60. Guy looks like he’s had Botox applied

[vital heart]

I love how oda split this page into quadrants, with each quadrant being delegated to a major player in GV (minus Garling & Harald, i guess?). Another instant favorite.

[sage temple]

Ngl Loki is the only one that responded like the Xebec n Roger did back then to Imu

[wraith mantle]

no linlin 💔

[stone terrace]

Reading into ts too much

Loki at 5 would have responded the same way

[sage temple]

Exactly

He has that pirate king mentality since birth

[barren plover]

Kidd gonna comeback

[tough dust]

the fact that this is the 2nd time he felt that haki lol

[sage temple]

Also you have a Garling pfp 💔 rethink your thoughts twin

[tough dust]

maybe even third if we counting the harald death

[sage temple]

Gaban must have nightmares about it still

[brittle basin]

Icon is our Garling champion

[sage temple]

I respecdt it though at least he didn't abandon it

[brittle basin]

In Garling's defense, he looks badass as an elderly man.

and is probably far, far stronger now.

[hazy turret]

True!

[hazy turret]

He’s the one who said he wants to be strong enough to protect everyone he cares about

[tough dust]

yeah cuurect garling is way above his young version

not even close lol

[runic dock]

Garling and Harald are not major players in GV

Garling is a bum

Harald isn’t there

[thick mango]

Garling is a scumbag and took an L

This reaction is expected

i will assume that reddit name starts with pirate...sum

[runic dock]

They share the same dream and loki has been following rocks journey

Rocks downfall is important to loki mind state

[sage temple]

Need I say more

[stone terrace]

Loki was born in the wrong era

If he was there at god valley we might be reading a completely different story

[sage temple]

Loki is literally Rock's son from another father can't tell me otherwise

Loki is the Rocks of this generation

[urban lodge]

Buggy is

[wraith mantle]

atp i am convinced the davy bloodline has shringan or something

[sage temple]

You don't even like Rocks

[urban lodge]

That's true but it's irrelevant here

I've been saying that for years

[steel stirrup]

Beat the dog shit outta that boy

[steel stirrup]

You know Garling is gonna come back and hoe Rocks something foul

Sneaking ass nigga

[wraith mantle]

he gonna capture eris

and use her as leverage before rocks delivers the killing blow to imu

[steel stirrup]

Eris my beloved

[stone terrace]

Thats what i think is happening

Garling seems to be pretty sharp

He knows he isnt beating rocks straight up

[steel stirrup]

Not as sharp as Rocks sword

[tough dust]

we are not about to downplay imu like that lol

[urban lodge]

At this point who knows

[stone terrace]

Its established he knows that eris and bb are rocks' wife and son

[urban lodge]

Nothing would surprise me anymore

[wraith mantle]

this aint even the real imu, this is like imu-lite

[stone terrace]

And after clashing with rocks once he decided to bring his domi reversid family to use against him

[wraith mantle]

kaido was talking about himself 😭

[stone terrace]

Him dipping feels OOC but someone has to

[wraith mantle]

i mean even wb is gonna dip at some point

[cunning narwhal]

everyone other than rocks wb and kaido will dip

[blazing depot]

Kaido, world’s strongest hypocrite

[wet condor]

At times like these, I wish we could do an instant character poll just to see what it'd look like

[scarlet nacelle]

watch everyone immediately switch up on him when he loses

[wet condor]

Luffy might be the only person who beats Rocks if we polled right now

[wraith mantle]

no one is switching up on him

[wet condor]

I think it'd only happen if he came off looking undignified and pathetic

[wraith mantle]

yall are crazy if you think oda is not gonna give him a glorious death

[wet condor]

Oda is gonna have him going out looking good yeah

[stone terrace]

Rocks would have to drink the blood of orphans to get people to turn on him

[lofty fern]

It's payback for that time Rocks crushed him in one swing

[wet condor]

He's the people's champ right now lol

[sweet anvil]

The only way rocks could nearly beat imu is if oda has imus main body be a decent amount stronger

[wet condor]

Like he can't put all of his power into Saturn

[wraith mantle]

i think rocks is the first flashback only character to get this much popularity

[sweet anvil]

I still think this is a decent amount of imus power

[honest garden]

Oden is pretty up there

[sweet anvil]

People forgot about Luffy bru

[urban lodge]

He won't be as high as you think he is for one main reason: he's chopped

[wraith mantle]

eh did people actually like oden?

[urban lodge]

Hype moments and aura can't make up for that

[sage temple]

Idrc about Oden

[lofty fern]

Loki HAS to be in it, he's been telling this story for the last 8 HOURS

[wet condor]

I did lol

[sweet anvil]

Hating

[wet condor]

Oden is p great

[sage temple]

What do you read One Piece for then

[stone terrace]

I like rocks more than oden

A lot more actually

But the oden fb was better

[wet condor]

I do too

[stone terrace]

So far anyway

Just a more cohesive story

[sweet anvil]

Rocks will eclipse oden in character likability

[sage temple]

Idk I feel like it was kinda boring

No fights

[wet condor]

I don't know by how much but I do like Rocks more

[sweet anvil]

Never seen a character glazed like this

[wraith mantle]

i think i like this flashback better, it is more of a story of stories

[sage temple]

Definitely

[wraith mantle]

we getting loki's story, harald's story, and rocks' story

[scarlet nacelle]

know what
crackpot there i have just came up with (do not invest in this it WILL be false i am just spitballing)
what if imu purposefully engaged with rocks so as to take over rock's body and use him as a vessel of sorts
we know imu has possession type powers.
also there are a lot of ideas about imu possessing lily

i just think the idea is neat

[urban lodge]

I don't understand why the question in this context but the characters, lore, world building

[sage temple]

This is just a mashup of all my favorite characters

[blazing mantle]

When the arc has all your favorite characters >>>

[sage temple]

Why you tryna be so rare penny just admit you like aura and hype moments

[sweet anvil]

What does this have to do with his looks

[blazing depot]

I like good writing too

[wet condor]

I think when we get past this flashback, I'll still like Rocks but won't be as hyped for him as I am right now

[blazing depot]

That’s important

[urban lodge]

Idk ask Socrates

[sweet anvil]

Rocks character design is good too

Don’t really get it

[sage temple]

Hype moments and aura is good writing

[stone terrace]

Needs a balance

[blazing depot]

Socrates you are extremely biased

[stone terrace]

Otherwise you turn into solo leveling

[wet condor]

It's just a lot of stuff is going on with him at the center of it. A lot of great lore is surrounding him too which contributes to his likeability beyond his character

[wraith mantle]

actually its not easy to write a good hype and aura farming character

[blazing depot]

You love a character that has done NOTHING but farm aura

[wet condor]

Lore that we've been waiting on for years

[urban lodge]

It's not a bad thing necessarily, I think Loki does it well for example lol

[formal wagon]

uh

[sage temple]

I can list his feats rn

[gritty shuttle]

Luffy

[wraith mantle]

loki is more than just an aura farmer but i will socrates take this one lol

[wet condor]

And that propels my eagerness to see him do stuff

[scarlet nacelle]

we got some backstory from loki. thats at least SOMETHING
but then again socrates been on the loki train since even before that so...

[blazing depot]

Meet chained up man

[grand flower]

That’s just d-riding

[sage temple]

God forbid not being a bandwagon like all of you pretenders

[gritty shuttle]

Luffy, sanji, Robin, big mom, blackbeard

Etc

[blazing depot]

BROTHER

YOU ARE THE BANDWAGON

[lofty fern]

I'm with you penny, Story over Aura anyday

[grand flower]

Lmao yeah exactly

[formal wagon]

bands bands bands thats a check talkin ♪

[sage temple]

You people can't like a character when you like them you have to go through a series of checking for character development and world building

People who do that are performative manga readers

[wraith mantle]

i wouldn't call blackbeard an aura farmer

[gritty shuttle]

I would tf

[scarlet nacelle]

bandwagon?
im not a loki fan
not a loki hater per say
i just don't have strong liking or disliking towards him

[grand flower]

Liking a character before you get anything from them because you know theyre hype is bandwagon in t

[sweet anvil]

Blackbeard is definitely not a n aura farmer

[gritty shuttle]

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-blackbeard-haki-evil-laugh-one-piece-blackbeard-haki-gif-8010676475224775922

[blazing depot]

Dragon is the only actual aura farmer lol

[gritty shuttle]

Look at this guy

[sweet anvil]

He’s lost aura on too many occasions

[blazing depot]

Hmmm I must look east

[urban lodge]

Nah he's not an aura farmer

[wraith mantle]

idk i feel like thats toei

[blazing depot]

Be mysterious and shit

[wraith mantle]

in the manga he aint allat

[wet condor]

Blackbeard has a certain charisma about him but he's not an aura farmer in the way Xebec is lol

[stone terrace]

Blackbeard might deadass be in aura debt

[sage temple]

I got plenty you guys just didn't get what I got

[wet condor]

lmaooo

[stone terrace]

😭

[gritty shuttle]

Yesh hes more in line with the pirate king roger

[still mason]

That's because he mostly takes care of business offscreen

[wet condor]

Like Xebec has the qualities that Blackbeard has. A jolly charm and he just carries himself a certain way

[formal wagon]

how 😡

[wet condor]

He's got a certain swag about him

[wraith mantle]

lmao that made me chuckle

[gritty shuttle]

Me when I lie

[sweet anvil]

He’s also not fat

[formal wagon]

swag

[wraith mantle]

and he aint a coward pathetic bitch like bb

[gritty shuttle]

Fat characters can be cool

[formal wagon]

for now

[blazing mantle]

If Blackbeard strong then why he fat

🤔
