Media One Piece (spoilers!)

Lol Ronse if he isn't dead I'm writing to Oda, I'm not kidding. I'll also subscribe to Chou's "Marine Ford Arc Sucks Club". Also Momonga was the only one that resisted Boa (she only expressed respect for like, two males in the entire series not named Luffy, Mihawk and him).

I want Momonga to take the job, should give Zoro something to work with. The Mera Mera....mhm I think Luffy would suit it fine (Red Hawk, Killing Akainu with it) but there's that nasty Oda technicality...so maybe Sanji or even Nami (she is a weather girl, just think of all the puns).

I wonder how the scenario will play out, I think the two pirate alliances will go after the same Yonku, BB will face Shanks in the background and Akainu will step in personally after that.
 
I honestly am hoping for someone completely new for the Admirals. As Alexwolf has mentioned, none of the VA's has made a real impression. You can't just promote one of these dorks and expect them to become the "Mightiest Class Military Power" that is expected of an admiral.

I'm hoping they found someone new.
 
When do you think we will found out about who is the new Shichi? I mean come on Oda stop with the teases already, we had so many of them in PH... I want to believe he will be mentioned in the next few chapters, but i tremble in fear that it might take some years before we learn who he is.

I am not asking about the Admiral because it is obvious we will see him in this Arc.
 
rob lucci for fujitora 2013

edit: lucci is renowned and feared among the marines even after losing to luffy, has a feline akuma no mi, and is pretty firmly an "absolute justice" type, so I think he is good choice. in cp9's independent report, he also told spandam he and cp9 would be back someday. oda also showed him in the strong world flashbacks (altho he also showed duval lol...) so I think it's possible.
 
that would actually be so interesting vader though so unlikely lol

As for Dr Robotnik, I can't speak for Z, but for Strong World - Chapter 0 was released as a preface to the movie. It is absolutely canon as it showed a flashback of many of the major characters (croc, dof, mihawk, etc) at the time of Roger's execution. It showed a lot of stuff that absolutely has an effect on the current timeline... And as it's been said, the makers of teh anime check with oda before they do something. Why would they put in something about a pirate ripping off Z's arm that becomes a Shichi if the actual shichi was someone completely different (ex marco). If it wasn't canon, they wouldn't have done that. They could've just.... not had the pirate who ripped off Z's arm become a shichi.

Chapter 0 was, maybe. That says nothing about the actual movie.

Even then, they could say literally anyone and that's who would have begged for his/her life and ripped of Zephyr's arm. This dictates Film Z, not the other way around.

@Vader if it was Lucci, I think it would've been Purple Leopard instead of Purple Tiger. Still a possibility, and a good one. I still think Momonga got some huge power boost but now I'm pretty much convinced it isn't Hina.
 
Why would Oda make Hina stronger than Smoker? That doesn't make any sense with the way he's been building the story lol...I think we can firmly throh out any Hina is Fujitora thoughts.

Dr. Robotnik, there was some interview (can't be assed to find it) in which Oda says "the characters in One Piece Z are shown to be as is after the timeskip," strongly implying that however they appear in One Piece Z (appearance, power, title) is how they appear in the manga.

Of course, it's Oda, and nothing is 100%, but at the moment the highest probability for who that 7th Shichibukai might be is whichever pirate ripped off Z's arm 9 years ago (one who would beg for his life). Naturally, this could be one part of the movie Oda chooses to not be canon and go with a complete wildcard like Marco / Bonney / someone new, but at the moment, all the evidence points strongest towards this movie character.

As for Fujitora, the movie introduced Momonga / Strawberry as Vice Admirals, but of course, this could simply be a non canon part. I agree with the others than unfortunately, none of the vice admirals pre timeskip really left a lasting impression...(besides maybe Unigumo but why would a Spider have Pink Tiger as his epithet lol) but that was 2 years ago. If Smoker can rise from Commodore to Vice Admirals (2 ranks) in 2 years, I can certainly picture a VA gaining enough strength to become an admiral.

Of course, we are all approaching this as Color + Animal epithet is given _only_ to admirals; it could very well be anyone and we just happen to notice (Oda only tells us) it for Admirals...The colors seem to be more directly to the person than the animal, so if the color + animal nickname isn't for admirals only, I could imagine Captain Coby making an entrance :P

Still would rather it be a bad ass admiral though
 
Anyone know the story the admiral names are based on? If a tiger has a role in that story then i'm sure pink/purple tiger is an admiral.

I'm sure someone said it before, but i'm opposed to the idea of a new character as an admiral. Where was he during the whitebeard war??? Still, i'd rather it be a new character than freaking magellan. I HATE magellan and his fanboys. And the nickname makes sense because his poison is pink/purple. I still say magellan was a weakling and not an Admiral.

Why wouldn't it? Hina's always been a "big sister" to Smoker, it would make sense for her to be ranked higher.

Like I said, this could be anyone. I'm assuming they didn't reveal the pirate's name, so if that's the case whoever it's revealed to be in the manga will be the person who ripped off Z's arm.

I remembered Momonga a lot better than I remembered Spider-Man.
 
As others mentioned, if Lucci, it would be Purple Leopard instead of Tiger...

But, damn, Lucci would make a fucking awesome admiral. Unfortunately, I don't like "defeated enemies" coming back as major antagonists, but Lucci and Luffy's fight was even enough that Lucci coming back would be legit.

I respect your opinion but I LOVE THAT SHIT. I can't stand it when a really powerful enemy gets defeated, survives, is clearly still out there...and does nothing ever (any day now, Don). I mean, guys like Lucci aren't old as shit like Moriah, they can get better, and when they do they usually turn out awesome.

Uh-uh. He was shown to be Vice-Warden on one of the covers.
 
I doubt any villain that comes back will be anything more than fodder against the SHs. That includes Lucci who Luffy at this point could probably beat him in his sleep with a fart. Most of the characters the SHs meet are at their prime or peaked and won't be getting any stronger or they would have already. Lucci, Enel, Croc are all fodder at this point. The reason they don't come back as villains. Luffy has already surpassed them completely. If they grew along with Luffy you start getting a power creep.

Still, that's comparing them to LUFFY. I'm sure they could still whoop the butts of 98% of the OP world.

..Uh yeah, what happened to Moria again? Was he killed by Doflamingo or...?

Saved by Absalon(or whatever). Now it's not confirmed Absalon saved him but it's a fact that he is alive. DD said he turned invisible and escaped.

I checked back and you are right. That's a relief.
 
Oda said that Eneru is still about as powerful as a 500 Mil bounty pirate (post timeskip Kid is 470 Mil, for reference), Lucci took literally everything Luffy had, and he only beat Crocodile by exploiting a crippling weakness and completely disabling his powers. So I think it would be safe to say that all three can still potentially be big names.
 
agreeeeeeeed and luffy only beat enel b/c his power matched up perfectly with enel's

I wouldn't doubt Croc returning. I'm sure he ain't gonna be as stupid as he was before, if he fights Luffy. Enel is extremely underrated, simply because his power didn't effect Luffy. His fruit is right up there with the Admiral's, and his Observation Haki is probably the best in the world. Massive threat if he ever comes back. Not to Luffy personally, but the world.
 
I don't think he'll come back in the regular series, but he'd be an excellent movie villain. Personally I'd love to see the Straw Hats fight his army on the Moon.

As for Croc, I'm pretty sure the cigar guy in the latest chapter was him.
 
that was akainu...why would crocodile be dispatching "pink tiger"
