Oh man, that was one beautiful death man.
I love that he basically said on TV that One Piece is real. That's gonna inspire pirates everywhere.
I will say, I usually think Blackbeard is pretty cool and badass. But he was kinda a pussy today. Getting his ass beat and then crying to his crew for help.
So... has anybody predicted that One Piece is a super weapon greater than Pluton, yet? Because Whitebeard's message of an impending war to change the world seemed to suggest so to me just now...
I always assumed it was the tree Devil Fruits grew from
I second the Teach disappointment. Up until now, the most dangerous, in my eyes, pirates have always been the ones who seemed to have a plan, like BB or Donfalmingo. I surely hope Blackbeard's plans involve more than simply just attacking an already dying Whitebeard and throwing away his warlord tenure for a few crewmen not strong enough to stay out of prison...
So I guess that means Ace and Jinbei and Crocodile aren't that strong?Quote:

It's not even the powerlevel that bothers me.
It's like, Blackbeard always seemed like an evil version of Luffy. Like easygoing, believes in dreaming the impossible, but ultimately he's selfish. That's what I liked about him.
Calling in his cronies to finish off Whitebeard for him was super Un-Luffy.
Of course, then he goes back to being the character I love with his "What great last words!" line.
Actually... they really don't appear to be. At this stage of the game, not even having entered the new world where even more monsterous powerhouses surely await, also assuming that prisoners of impel down were caught by somebody, does not bode well to these characters' longevity to the main story.Quote:

Ace lost his battle to Teach, Croc lost his battle to the blue-screen, and a few episodes back Jinbei lost his small battle with Mihawk, though whether that counts as serious is tough to decide. If One Piece ever resurrects an old enemy as a main dish (Enel, perhaps?), then I will certainly reconsider my stance on character gimping...
My actual complaint, that may well be accidentally hidden within my wording, was that Teach gave up a very useful government position in a flashy sort of way to do what seems pointless to me right now. I mean, surely he has some other reason to step into a war I doubt he could influence with second-hand crew he just acquired at the cost of his position, and essentially make enemies of EVERYONE, than to simply watch Whitebeard die. It boggles my mind.
Depends who caught them. For all we know, it could have taken a half a dozen Vice Admirals, or even multiple Admirals to catch one of these guys.Quote:

His crew mates are starting to mimic Luffys team. Sniper/Usopp, Wrestler/Franky, Shiryuu/Zoro, Doc/Chopper. And i bet one of the new guys will use hand to hand combat for Sanji and they have a girl which will be perfect for either Nami or Robin. So these new crew members will rival that of Luffy's at the very end. And i don't think they will be weak at all. And Zoro is aiming to be become the greatest swordsman to ever live by beating Mihawk. And once Blackbeard and Luffy faces off Zoro will probably have done that. And once they face of Shiryuu will be on the same level as Zoro. Or else it would be kind of one sided. And just because they where in prison doesn't mean they are weak. Who's to say they didn't face of against an admiral to end up there. And right now very few seems to be able to stand up to an admiral. Among Whitebeard's crew only 2 seems to have had that power and that was Marco and Whitebeard himself. Ace and Jozu was both beaten. Marco only lost because he was distracted and they managed to get seastone-cuffs on him. Even though Jozu could have been distracted i feel he would have lost either way in the end.
And he didn't throw away anything. Like he said himself. Only reason he needed that title was so he could get his crew mates. Once he had them, he didn't need or want the title. If he never had wanted the prisoners he wouldn't even have tried to get the title in the first place. Every step Blackbeard has taken so far has been just as he planned. In fact having that title was probably a "burden" (can't seem to find the right word to describe it, too early i guess). Blackbeard plan to become the Pirate King. And what we have learned is that Shibukai's are considered traitors to other pirates since they have struck a deal with the WG. But in Blackbeards case that has been redeemed because it was even announced to the world (assuming the Den Den is still broadcasting) that he only used the title to deceive the WG.
Would someone mind posting a ddl link for the onetime speed version of the ep please? Visiting my girlfriend at college where torrents are blocked blows...
