Shichibukai Discussion Thread

Smartest thing I've ever seen on this entire website.

Took the words out of my mouth.
You are a smart man.

.........really now?

[Kitsune: 9-Tailed Beast]

.........really now?

Probably not, but it is the smartest thing I've heard this week XD

[Ubiq]

Well, as far as the notion that different islands on the Grand Line (or even Blues) have people that come in different sizes, that's supported by the fact that Oda tends to draw characters that fall into a handful of different size categories:

5-6 feet tall for normal people.
8-12 feet for large people.
14-20 feet for very large people.
30-50 feet for certain varieties of giants.
80-100 feet for Erbafian giants.

Height can be somewhat inconsistent though; Saul is a good example of this as his height seems to change fairly often relative to other characters (which might have been a perspective issue more than anything else), but he's usually around the same height as Big Bun. Probably the most egregious instance where somebody's height changed was the Tilestone incident back in Water 7 when there was a panel that he appeared to be around the same size as Whitebeard or almost twice his normal height.

Except for Brook. Skeleton+Afro+Suit=Win!

More on topic, I would incredibly enjoy TB crashing into the next island......I guess that's not too on topic..........So don't all flame me at once, but I really don't think we'll see Jinbei on the next island.

I would acutally find that a relatively good beginning for the next arc. We will have three shichibukia on one island then.

Actually, I think Kuma is already gone actually. Remember, he said he DIDN'T accept the mission to help Moria, but if TB crashes into Gyojin Island, then Jinbei will be the one to accept.
The one thing killing my theory is that, isn't Gyojin Island Underwater?

Unless.....it's at the bottom of a GIANT WATTERFALL/WATER SLIDE!!!!!
Think about it, TB goes inside the Red Line, down that water thing and crashes into Gyojin Island! That would be pretty freaking epic.
Straw Hats see the "waterfall"
Nami: "So that's what Kokoro meant by "You'll find out when you get there!"
Luffy: "So it's a Mystery Waterfall!!!!!!"

[Jinbei]

I think Jimbei will take Oda's ability to the next level. That is if Oda sees Jimbei the way I hope to.

I agree, Its been a long time since we saw a real cool Fishman like Arlong.

[Hawkeye]

Jinbei isn't going to be cool like Arlong. He is going to be a midget fishman. Midgets are cool in their own ways.

["Fire Fist" Ace]

Considering that Whale Sharks are one of the world's largest Mammals, I seriously doubt that.

[AD-HD Pirate]

My only hope for Jinbei is, that he would be drunk. That would be awesome.

We already have a constantly sloshed Shichi (Blackbeard) and a constantly sloshed Yonkou (Shanks). We don't need another. XD


Jimbei will probably be a huge Gyojin, probably a Wotan.

As for the last guy, I'm still fairly sure it's the guy that was "in charge" on Roger's ship; the guy we see thwacking Buggy and Shanks.

[Gorlom]

why would he be a shichibukai when shanks became an emperor though? =S

that should kill anyones ambition seeing a small brat surpass him like that.
(considering yonkou to be bettter then shichibukai only because yonkou are more "free". im not considering any potential strenght.)

Sure we do. There can't be enough drunk guys in One Piece. XD
And I want to see somebody fighting while they're drunk. That somebody could be Jinbei.

[Archtyrant]

Isn't it time we see a shichibukai that actually has a good heart? (unless you count Mihawk as having one... which i would disagree)

No way. I like that they all are heartless bastards. Just like real pirates were. Oh, and drunks. Definetely drunks.

Well, in general, most pirates (Even privateers) weren't exactly guys that gave you a hug. Even Bartholomew Roberts, who drank tea and read the bible daily, was a pretty vicious person.

Then again, this is the Odaverse, but we already have a pirate with a good heart: Luffy.

And sixteen Foxys.

[Moria]

I've always liked that the guy with the green helm and iron notch over his nose in that one colorspread w/ buggy and shanks was really cool. I know its been said before... but he would definitely be a downright awesome Shichibukai.

Oh, I know exactly who you mean and I totally agree!

[Anointed]

It seems like the balanced has tipped into the Shichibukai's favor now that Blackbeard has joined? Anyone get this feeling from what Kuma has said?
