One Piece Thread: Gear 2nd!

I want some friggin pirate battles already. Ever since they left east blue, its either marines, or an island bad guy. FUCK i wanna see some pirates bumping heads too, like Kids crew or Killer or drakes crew going against luffy. Luffy would beastt on these wannabes but its gonna be entertaining.

So this chapter seems to confirm Brownbeard is toast, good thing the kids were a sleep for that one. New World rules, even a named mook can get got.

Honestly, is it wrong that I hope the Yeti Bros make it? I was really hoping for a sniper battle damn it.

i liked this chapter and my bipson dollars are on big mom so Luffy will agree to take Fishman island under his protection

Kaidou.

Law’s Badassery Knows No Bounds!

He owes him his life to Traffy, Luffy has no real reason not to oblige.

I’m pretty certain the foe is Kaidou, the other ones don’t fit, and Negrobeard would be waaaaaaaaaaay too early, unless…

Could Oda…

[details=Spoiler] Make Law mention Nubianbeard and Luffy turns down the offer, then Law gets merc’d or seriously injured, making Luffy feel guilty and be even more compelled to take him down?!

The thought of Blackbeard stealing Law’s fruit!
[/details]

shudders :wasted:

Law can be a great villain if he betrays luffy somehow he is powerful enough

My vote goes to Kaidou. He has the habit of slaughtering other crews and we haven’t seen any of Law’s nakama yet.

What about that teddy bear dude?

We ain’t seen him since the time skip. My negro better be alive though.

His name is Bepo, and he is very, very sorry.

I have to say, to have pirates that admirals fear is pretty beast. How is Luffy gonna beat one? We’ve yet to see their full power yet so this might be good.

How good IS luffy now though?

Read the chapter yesterday…

The greatest alliance in the New World

Spoiler

I got pumped when Law proposed an alliance with Luffy. The big question is which Warlord is Law planning to take down? Hopefully, it’s not Shanks because Luffy will attempt to kick Law’s ass right there on the spot.

Monstrous laughs

Spoiler

Did anyone else LOL when Franky popped that Rumble Ball without hesitation? Even San-Chopper’s Chopper mask made a WTF face!

YCB

Spoiler

The Yeti Cool Brothers got taken out sooner than expected, but they had a good run. Besides, like T20thoughts said, OP characters have a tendency to make great recoveries. Also, like many of Oda’s characters, I like them already. They won me over once they started bitching about the cold, despite being yetis.

Lastly, CC’s bloodthirsty tendencies are really staring to show even more.

Thoughts on the chapter:

On Alliance

[details=Spoiler]One thing that does come to mind is when Law was staring intently at Luffy’s strawhat. Does he know of Luffy’s relationship with Shanks? If he does, then I would be surprised if Law asked Luffy to help take Shanks out.

In all honestly, I was thinking that Shanks and Blackbeard are going to have a confrontation with each other, before Luffy does.

My guess is that Law is planning to take down either Big Mum or Kaidou, as I don’t think Luffy and Blackbeard will face each other until later on in the series. Luffy has mentioned a few times in this arc that he owes Law, so while Luffy often likes to rely on himself, I also think it’s possible he may agree to Law’s alliance to return the favor of saving his life.[/details]

I don’t think most of the OP world knows about Shanks and Luffy’s connection. It wouldn’t be public knowledge, and just from the events during the War you wouldn’t be able to discern much of anything between them. Law more than likely does not know about them.

Kaidou might murk them .Something tells me he isn’t a guy you just declare war on .Big Mum is busy with Kidd so she is distracted and could be taken out if they all work together.Shanks is reserved strictly for Luffy and his crew .Blackbeard is end game .Kaidou and Big Mum are the only folks I can see them battling solely because tether supernovas are battling them at the moment.I think if any supernovas worked together crew and all they’ coud battle a Yonkou.But they wouldn’t serve YONKOUS ARE yonkous for a reason .

Y’know, I’ve reconsidered… And knowing Luffy:

Spoiler

He’s not going to team up to take anyone down just to take’em down. He’s just not the type. He’ll go “Nah! I’m gonna return the kids, and then I’m gonna beat on the clown dude, and then I’m off.” If he teams up with Trafalgar, it’ll be for different reasons - like, say, Trafalgar promising that he’ll put the personalities back where they belong, or something. And even then, that’ll just be because Franky!Nami bludgeons him into it.

I’ve been waiting to see Kaidou in action for a very long time. Especially since I believe Oda drew him in earlier picture spreads without people realizing.

Personality~wise Kaidou is probably the most fearsome of the Yonkou, due to his implied belligerence.
