    Maybe. For all we know, he could be well on his way to the NW with a new crew member now. And what? Take out an admiral? I don't think even with his fruit he's that strong. Maybe Kizaru if only for literal natural enemies, but no one else.

    Everybody feels like they're sandbagging so far. There were more lasers flying around during the shabondy archipelago arc.

    I agree but only half. If you're implying that people are being lazy with their powers then I disagree. If you're saying that everyone needs to be something more in general and just go more all out, then I agree.

    I'm just wondering what the point of showing Blackbeard get owned by Magellan was. This means that Magellan will have to show up at Marineford. If not, then Oda could have just had Blackbeard beat Magellan.

    That fight/match is something that intrigues me very much. Magellan floored Blackbeard and his crew, yet Ace lost to BB. Is it the difference in fighting experience or what? Is Magellans fruit just better suited to fight BB, because he absorbs everything, including the poison?

    Magellan was in a big hurry to capture the escapees. He basically told Blackbeard, "I don't have time to deal with this now" and immediately splattered him with goop. It was "almost" a surprise attack. You could almost see the look of "!" and "?" on Blackbeard's face.

    On the other hand, Ace confronted Blackbeard. They had a chat about their powers. Ace gave Blackbeard a chance to fight at full strength.

    Maybe Blackbeard "really" is stronger than Magellan, and maybe Ace is too. But the situations are too different to compare directly, I think.

    For contrast, I don't think Magellan would necessarily be an effective force on the current battlefield.
