Cover Story Theories and Discussion

[Arcadia080]

When we get the Syrup villiage cover story we will see Kaya pushing a baby carrage with a baby with sheep hair. You know the butler always does it.
Poor Usopp, but thats whay you get for dissapearing for two years with out so much as a letter.

[Refii]

I want to see what happened with Drake and Kaidou.

[Halfmetal-lich]

I would love to see Gin and Kuro, but I reckon we're getting a cover story for each "family" of the crew, so i think it's gonna be Zoro's master next

[black-leg jex]

i don't know what he can really do with zoro's master as we havn't seen much of him unlike all the others. I doubt much would have changed

[Mr. Sandman]

I wanna see old characters again. Ever since ID I've been hoping to see villains of east blue and CP9 but I guess Arlong, Krieg, and kuro are all losers stuck in east blue. Even though Arlong was a pirate from the grand line i suppose he's also still in some marine base in East Blue as well. How do they imprison fishmen like him anyways? And how was Jinbei not able to break the chains from the wall of his cell? Were all the level 6 prisoners scared of magellan? Because a level 6 prisoner would surely have the strength or means to break out of their cage unless they were DF users bound by sea stone.

Someone speculate for me please.

There isn't a character in this series I hate aside from the fodder-celestial dragons we saw in the Luffy and Ace flashback and Nojiko. I'd love to see them all again.

Krieg's probably in a straight-jacket or something.

They were under constant surveillence, and lvl six had that sleeping gas thing. They probably didn't want to be caught in the gas, and then have to pay for it later.

Ah thanks, makes sense. Anyways its probably a pain to ascend all those levels too, what with all the demon guards, level 5 hounds, and magellan.

I look forward to seeing Ax Hand Morgan again. He's been teased into a cliffhanger as an escaped criminal for nearly a decade now.

Kuro might be interesting as well. All depends on just how expansive Oda is going to be and at what length he's going to cover the world. Just the leads from each village visited? Everyone ever? We'll have a better idea this week, but its an EXCITING cover story series, to be sure.

Maybe they all joined crocodiles new crew.

Oh man wouldn't that be great....you can't get a better crew of begrudged villains. Just looking at that lineup gets me excited

Crocodile
Mr. 1
Krieg
Kuro
Morgan

I'm with you. He's the one guy I absolutely expect to return. I assume he'll have some really strong fruit power as well in order to make him relevant again.

I just wonder how deep his role would really be. Fighting him should really be on Helmeppo (and Coby) a lot more than it would be on Luffy.

Surely would be epic, but I think Crocodile would just consider them trash. Still, It'd be awesome XD

[sanji499]

I guess we will see Smoker, Tashigi, Coby, Hermeppo, Hina, Jango and Fullbody.

I think it would be one hell of a team.

Nah, despite their low bounties they are capable pirates for the GL and maybe the NW. IMO Krieg had the manpower to run a successful campaign in the GL and had it not been for his lack of preparedness, amateur navigation skills, and of course running into mihawk he probably would have become a more successful pirate. He's not worthy of being a captain (nor is Kuro) but he would make a good weapons guy on Crocodiles ship. I would have included Arlong but he hates humans and would never join a humans crew, not to mention the fact that he is probably in prison.

As for me, any pirate who uses an excuse like "I just didn't know enough" as justification for not being able to handle the grand-line was a lost cause from the get go. Luffy didn't know shit when he entered the grand-line either. He makes a good villian but that's about it.

Well Luffy had Nami, but I agree that Krieg is not fit to be anything more than a weapon on Croc's ship. He at least gave Luffy a difficult time at one point, although he would get KO'ed in a second now by most of the SH crew members. I'd still say he's useful for taking out hordes of fodder and making weapons for the ship sorta like Usopp/Franky makes weapons for the SH crew.

Plenty of people in One Piece are useful for that. I'd love to see Krieg raid a tenryuubito village or something. It'd be a win-win situation for me.

[Bulletproof]

Am I the only know that hopes we won't see those guys again in the main plot? I really find Krieg, Morgan and Kuro stupid assholes. I mean It'd be cool if we could see Krieg going kamikaze on some tenryuubitos but that just won't happen so I prefer to not see them again if not being for comedic fodder effect.

[Mr. Sandman]

Point taken. Too bad though...theres too many selfish yet moderately strong captains who command a ship full of nobodies. It's a shame and a waste that they don't come together and form an all star crew under someone worthy of being a successful NW captain.

I never really wished to see them again honestly. Seeing old protagonists would be just fine for me.
