General 'Four Emperors' Discussion

[King Kobra]

Blackbeard is Ace in Disguise!

Dum Dum...






DUMB!


Ace is dead. Besides Blackbeard's quest, the only thing Oda could have done with him was something as ridiculous as another cover story, but one about Ace finding out about shirts.

[DesertSpada]

Hey hey, that's not confirmed yet.

For all we know, Blackbeard could've just slept with Aokiji to get himself into the Shichibukai, or something.

Not that that's likely, but... you never know until you get the facts, yeah? :P

No.......no I'm pretty sure.

[Kitsune: 9-Tailed Beast]

If so then they'd pretty much HAVE to offer Luffy a Shickibukai position.
Shanks?

[Gorlom]

I'm guessing the REAL requirement is probably more like 'have power somewhat near that of one of the current Yonkou', probably.

Both this and the topic creators theory is most likely invalidated by the existance of Crocodile. He was nowhere near the other warlords and is not likely at all to have gone up against a yonkou imo. He should have been crushed long before that. (Ofc its not totally impossible that he managed to get his face smashed in by a yonkou.)

[CLERICSHADOW]

DEC 2007 NOOBS!! AND SEARCH!! ARRGGHH!!!

[Gorlom]

oh? which thread should he have used?

[silverson]

yea it seems like the shichibukai have some loose ties to yonkou

bb = wb
moria = kaidou
mihawk = shanks

and im guessing the others are linked too...for some reason i think vegapunk may be in the mix somewhere....

[CLERICSHADOW]

oh? which thread should he have used?

Shichibukai thread

Predictions that don't deserve their own thread, ect. ect.

[Kitsune: 9-Tailed Beast]

Someone needs to start an official Yonkou Dusscussion thread......

[Impel Down]

The Shichibukai are just bad-ass pirates who can be bought, so involvement with other people shouldn't matter.

After all, BB wasn't chosen by the Gorosei because he fought Shanks. They knew nothing about him when he was put up as an idea, and they only accepted him because of his defeat of Ace.

[Gorlom]

CLERICS:You cant really find the "theories that don't deserve their own thread" by searching for connections between shichibukai and the yonkou.

and while this should probably fall under the shichibukai discusssion thread it may not be apearant to someone that only wants to discuss the connection between the two groups.

I'm not saying the guy shouldn't have posted it somewhere else but I do think you are a bit too harsh.

they only accepted him because of his defeat of Ace.

Which in itself is a connection to Whitebeard....

[Lobolover]

No.That wouldnt be FOUR emperors.How would you say "Five emperors",by the way,"Gonkou"?

[Gorlom]

No.That wouldnt be FOUR emperors.How would you say "Five emperors",by the way,"Gonkou"?

... You didnt read the first post carefully enough. the OP wonders if Luffy would take the title away from the yonkou meaning the previous emperor would LOSE IT before Luffy becomes one.

[Lobolover]

Youre right.I didnt.And for a reason.Itd 1:28 am here.So you cant suspect me to READ thread entires at this time a night.

[Gorlom]

It's 1:35 am where i am. and guess what im gonna say..

If you cant understand the posts because of the time: STOP POSTING! Go to bed and get some sleep.

[Lobolover]

I always am awake when EVERYONE else is asleep,shity central european time zone.

How the hell d'you cpect me to DISCUS anything?

ps:Gorlom,what country are you from?Could it be Germany?

[Gorlom]

Go to bed Lobolover!

[Lobolover]

I wont till you drop.

[Kingoffans]

Actually, I think the theory makes a lot of sense. The four Yonkou basically refer to the four pirates closest to One Piece. If Luffy beats one of them, whether he cares about it or not, he will be closer to One Piece than that Yonkou since to be the Pirate King, don't you have to be the strongest Pirate in the world?

["Fire Fist" Ace]

We know how the SBKs are picked... strong pirates that are willing to throw off some of their more violent tendencies in order to have their bounties waived and frozen

and if anyone said anything about Akatsuki... then it was SARCASM...
