One Piece 580 Predictions

YEAH GO SHANKS!!!!!!

Well I guess that clears up the debate of Shank's showing up or not. But then the next debate becomes "What's his goal?" well his goal can stretch to a number of things, starting from getting revenge on Blackbeard, to letting the Whitebeard pirates escape, to destroying the marines. But however one thing is CLEAR Shanks isn't going to leave without saying hello to Blackbeard. The question is he going to fight him or just say hi.

Well this has just gotten interesting, I wonder what is going to happen next. Well that is going to a big discussion, but however I also want to know who else is going to escape. I want to know when Luffy is going to be reunited with his crew and any additional members that his comrades would have brought with them. Jimbei is also going to be a big debate. Afterall Jimbei is probably going to be prompted to return to Fishman island to protect it from slavers as Whitebeards protection is now null and void with his death. Or Jimbei is going to stay with Luffy due to his promise with Ace, but not before talking to Luffy about his personal issue that seems to revolve around Arlong. From here on Luffy's journey is going to take interesting turns. Especially since Dragon is most likley to be more active since such a devistating blow has been done to the marines, and a lot of pride is damaged to the World Government (Anyone else wonder if Dragon has watched the movie V for Vandetta?). Then there is to wonder about the other rookies, as well as Buggy, Crocodile, the remaining Shichibukai because well, they are still powerful influences and their goals could cause them to change loyalties.

POLL NOTE: I guess I should have figured that Boa Hancock and Jimbei would fight for the lead, but apparently if first poll on the question "Who is most likley to join Luffy" Boa Hancock came out first, and with the poll asking the question "Who is most likley to join Luffy NEXT" well Jimbei seems to be leading that one.

Discussion: I think that along with Luffy's leaving and Shank's arrival most of the marines are going to turn their attention to Blackbeard as he is the more agressive party in this war. Shanks isn't going to go quietly either, the Whitebeard pirates aren't interested in this fight any further, they lost Ace, and Whitebeard, but succeeded in getting Luffy away (Akinu is probably going to go bananas about that failure). Kizaru doesn't seem all to motivated in chasing Luffy as unlike Akinu he tried to stop the escape not straight up kill luffy like Akinu was obviously trying to do. Kizaru apparently also seems easily swayed in terms of changing enemies as the guy who shot at him and is still pointing a gun at him (I forget his name temporarily) and is focusing all his attention on him. Now I'm curious I don't know this guy who seems to have Kizaru's attention so much that he forgets his objective of targeting Luffy all in all and holding his hands up in defeat against this man with the two pistols (or more). I wonder if this guy has Haki abilities which make his bullets leathal EVEN to Kizaru. But then if this guy doesn't well that Oda humor for you where Kizaru seems to surrender for little to no apparent reason (If that's true at the guy with the two pistols can't hurt Kizaru and Kizaru was just faking it or just going along with it I would Laugh till by stomach bleed).

Well we have Shanks showing himself I wonder if Dragon is going to show himself, because Dragon had more than enough time to, and on top of it all, this is probably his best time to cause a great deal of damage to the world Government, but if he damages the world government too much he is going to have to deal with Blackbeard personally and I don't know if Dragon is too eager for that event, not because he possibly has a devil fruit but mostly because its a mess he probably doesn't want to clean up. I have little doubt in my mind that Dragon is more than capable of dealing with Blackbeard no problem the biggest question is if he wants to.

ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME, if your comments don't show up don't be discouraged some comments are sent to a filter that sometimes me or Naruto Addict have to okay, and I don't always get to it, but I am trying to be more vigilent on that. I strongly discourage hateful talk, arguing, and foul language (that's what get's most comments filtered in the first place). I do encourage debate and heated discussion because it is healthy for the mind to exerscise so don't be shy in debating or discussion even if points of views clash, just keep it to that a disscussion I don't want enemies made on this blog as I have said before it is of no good to anyone.
