One Piece - I'm Gonna Be the Pirate King!

[Random Internet Person]

So who do we think the Man Marked by Flames is going to be, and what do we think the remaining arcs are going to be? I think that after Elbaf, it will be Roadstar, then Raftel, then Marie Geoise/Final War, then a big epilogue party with a ton of extra special flashbacks for everyone involved.

Honestly, the thing about Laugh Tale and the final war is how Luffy will be involved. I still think the final war will be a higher scale version of Marineford, with Vivi filling the role Ace had.

On the other hand, for all the lore and centuries of buildup, and how Luffy plays into it, Oda still has a simple endgame at the story’s core: Luffy surpasses Shanks and returns the hat (and it’s heavily implied that this surpassing will only happen after some kind of direct confrontation).

Not only that, but all the stuff Whitebeard said about what’ll happen in the endgame and when the treasure will be found and how Roger is waiting for somebody is something Luffy either doesn’t know about or gives zero fucks about because ignorance is bliss.

I think it’s getting harder to predict what happens beyond a few chapters because for all the big stuff happening surrounding the treasure and lore, Oda still writes things on the sense that it’s a treasure hunt from the PoV of some guy wearing a hat, even with all the stuff Luffy has to do in order to get his hands on said treasure.

Jack aint good enough for the best girl

Lack the Doubt is an actual meme, he would probably lose to Doflamingo and Cracker.

I can see Doflamingo. I cannot see him lose to Cracker unless he misplays his cards.

Cracker can literally hide in the woods and spam his biscuit soldiers for several hours. Jack is a simple brawler with a shitty ancient zoan fruit who will be able to do absolutely jackshit against this.

But can the Biscuits actually hurt jack?

Dont forget that luffy only won against him cause nami kept the biscuits soft for Luffy to eat

Jack somehow fucks it all up and passes out from a hangover, what a meme-tier villain. I have no idea why Kaido keeps him around when the guy is barely Smoothie/Oven/Snack tier. But anyways, one thing that automatically makes One Piece: New World infinitely better than Naruto Shippuden, is that I still hear ost from OG One Piece all throughout New World, whereas Shippuden fucked this up right off the bat by COMPLETELY replacing the original soundtrack by Toshio Masuda in favor of some (While still good in its own right) incredibly generic "serious" shit by Yasuharu Takanashi.

So who do we think the Man Marked by Flames is going to be

A bit ago I was thinking maybe it'd be Hanafuda, but forgot he was outright dead. Does seem odd Oda went out of his way to name, design, and give a backstory to a character that ultimately doesn't matter at all. Usually he only does that with joke characters, but not someone serious like Hanafuda.

At this point, I think that it is either an enslaved Barbel, or a Federale Silver Axe (Who could also fittingly enough be Axe-Hand Morgan's father and Helmeppo's grandfather)

Cracker can hide in the woods but he would reveal himself sooner or later. That is who he is. He did it with Luffy.

I still think that Cracker could be a hidden "D" and possibly Captain John's or one of the other Rocks Pirates' sons. The smile, the dynamic with Luffy, everything just fits and feels right. Plus, with how much rampant unprotected sex Big Meme was having, she had to have banged a literal D at some point, right?

Well she banged alot of Ds

Why is Naruto: Shippuden so fucking ASS compared to One Piece: New World???

Because Madara and his plan began a cycle of Masashi Kishimoto making extremely OP villains that had him write himself into a corner where Naruto and Sasuke would constantly get new asspull powers and backstory boosts to get himself out of said corner.

Meanwhile, Oda still has things as the same “Straw Hats look to achieve their dreams” that it’s always been, with the only difference is that he’s slowly peeling back the curtain to reveal things are bigger than they seem, and it’s all just waiting for Luffy to factor into them.

I will never even understand whatever the fuck Pierrot was smoking when they completely replaced the original soundtrack for Shippuden. They should have done what New World did and slowly introduced the new tracks while slowly phasing out the old, but of course, this is Studio Pierrot, and they might actually be worse than Toei in some aspects.

Why is Naruto: Shippuden so fucking ASS compared to One Piece: New World???

Because Kishimodo fucked the pooch by having Sauske kill Orochimaru too early so he had to make up a line of villains, which means each one had to be more powerful so power gets out of hand.

I just read the fanfiction: Uzumaki Tales: Return of the Whirlpool for more Oro action. It also gives the Konoha 12 a lot more to do and unlike most fanfics, actually bothers to try emulating the feel of the actual series while also including certain fanfic tropes like the civilian council. I will never understand Kishi's stupidity when Robin and Nami do much more than any of Kishi's broads.

That's an interesting theory for such a nothing character

And what does that make his fifty trillion other siblings outside of Katakuri and Perospero (Son of pedophile Streussen by the way)

I’ve heard of that too, that the other ninjas of Konoha can be more interesting than the main three, who can be real jerks. Also, the pacing was shit.

My only real problem with the fic (Other than the fact that nobody has bothered to turn it into a fan-manga yet) is that the humor can be a bit much, especially during the Shippuden era of the fic, also, the excessive Japanese terminology for everything can be kind of annoying.
